Pointing Fingers, junior Kira Griffin and senior Brady Allen argue on who the real killer is in the theatre departments production of A Games Afoot. Their annual dinner show was held on Nov 11 and 13 and invited audience members to enjoy a dinner and a show filled with mystery and murder. The show was good we sold out both nights, Allen said. It was weird process just because we had so much going on in the month of November and some people were very new to the process but as the upperclassmen kind of guided a few people we were able to get back on track and the show turned out really well.

Presenting in front of the class, senior Jaden Kolenbrander introduces students to his new chapter of Amnesty International Club. The club, started by Kolenbrander, will serve as a way for CPHS students to speak out and educate themselves about political issues and will hold meetings on the third Tuesday of each month in room 5009. “Anyone who is interested in increasing their involvement in the community and advocating for far-reaching issues that affect everyone [can join],” Kolenbrander said. “However, we also want to emphasize that anyone can become an advocate. Its a good opportunity for them to become more involved in their community and learn about the importance of human rights advocacy.”

While being a small community of just under 100 students, the language is connected by passionate students both in the class and in FHS, as well as being an equally important language to learn. “Its the third most spoken language in the world, Campbell said. “Its used in business a lot of the time.

Welcoming NHS members at their monthly meeting, seniors Jackson Woods and Ashley Chikkala help provide a welcoming community for the school through service projects. “To me, NHS is a lot about the service opportunities that you are able to get from it,” Chikkala said. “Because its not that difficult to have a super high GPA, if you just take the right classes and do the right things. But its difficult to make sure that you are getting those grades, along with still being involved in extracurriculars and helping your community and working and just generally being a good person.”

This year, the theme is “Prison Break,” and is centered around a correctional facility that is revealed to be much more sinister than it appears. “We had a lot of things we wanted to try,” senior Thespian troupe leader Ryleigh Jordan said. “But Prison Break just sounded the most practical, and it was still something we would all be interested in, and that we felt like people would still want to go through with.”
