Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

The Emoji Craze
September 29, 2016
The first emoji was created around the year 1998, and the world was electrified. Emoji’s were all anyone would hear about, and text messages no longer carried messages about groceries but rather cute stickers of hearts and a yellow face crying with laughter.
However, as technology advanced the craze over emoji’s faded. But in 2015 the emoji craze remerged when Kim Kardashian launched her app called: Kimojis. The app is a keyboard with over 500 emoji’s featuring each of the Kardashians, random body parts of Kim Kardashian and other various pictures that are easily recognizable because of the family’s famous last name.
Selling the app for two dollars on the Apple store, Kim Kardashian is currently gaining around one million dollars a minute (before distribution between the company producing her app and taxes). Seeing her success, many celebrities wanted in on the action. Blac Chyna, the current fiancé of Rob Kardashian, Kim’s brother, has also brought out her own emojis.
Aptly called “ChyMojis,” the app, while not doing as well as Kimojis, still is raking in cash. Initially, the app caused controversy. Between the release of the app, seemingly right after the Kimoji launch and the ill-timed emoji feature what seemed to be Kylie Jenner being slapped by Chyna, ChyMojis were not being placed under good light. However, the drama has since been dissolved since Chyna is now pregnant with Rob’s baby.
Shortly after, Ellen DeGeneres released her own emoji’s app, Ellen’s Emoji Exploji; featuring Ellen’s face, Ellen on a hover board and many of her talk shows brand on underwear and coffee mugs. DeGeneres’s app also costs about two dollars.
Following her, Youtuber, Joe Sugg, has announced that he too is releasing his very own emoji app. The contents of what they might feature have yet to be seen. They are to be sold in the next few months for 99 cents.
What led to this new emoji craze? We may never know. But if you are bored with ordinary emojis, and are desperate to have some new emoji’s to make your conversations more interesting, be sure to check out one of the celebrities’ mentioned. Why text when we can convey all we need to with just a few stickers?
