After school on Oct. 24, theatre students begin set up for the Haunted House, which will run Oct. 28 and 29. 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.”

Performing on Baritone saxophone, sophomore Ryan Rios marches with the band at a football game. Most of his free time is spent practicing his show music & contest études. “I’ve been pushing really hard to practice in the little free time I have,” Rios said. “But I’m hoping to potentially make District this year and continue getting better to make State. This is all to say that I’m incredibly motivated to keep getting better at my instrument, and to possibly pursue music performance or education as a career.”

As students battle deadlines, major assessments and changing trends, anxiety takes control of the brain. Since 1936, when endocrinologist Hans Selye studied an organisms ability to adapt, the term eustress has been used in psychology to describe good stress. I view stress as both good and bad, counselor James Sullivan said. Good stress is often short term that can be used to motivate you, like the stress, or excitement, you feel before playing a sporting game, preparing for a test, or before going on a first date. Bad stress is usually long term and wears you out. Over long times it can lead to anxiety.

Say Yes to the Stress

The comedy-drama, “Amsterdam”, directed by Oscar-nominated David O. Russell was released on Oct. 7, 2022. The story follows along three friends who find themselves the primary suspects of a murder, and have to find a way to clear their name while uncovering a worldwide scandal. Although the movie features an excellent, all-star cast with beautiful visuals to coincide, I felt that the movie was very predictable with lackluster writing that didn’t favor its extensive runtime.
