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)

Ping Pong Club Offers Students a New Activity
Students gather around ping-pong tables ready for a table tennis game. One of the main goals of the club is to provide a fun environment for students to relax and unwind from a busy day. “Ping- Pong club is about students with a similar passion in ping pong coming together and improving each other,” senior member Jay Kannam said. “A usual meeting consists of putting tables together and playing, and sometimes we also hold tournaments to see who has improved over the week.”

The soft sound of ping-pong balls can be heard throughout the Science building as students pass by. One of the goals of Ping-Pong club is to provide a stress-free environment for students in order to promote social activity.
The club had been formed a couple years back and has made a big comeback this year after a few years off. “This club was first formed around 5 years ago but disappeared for a few years because the students that formed it graduated and there wasn’t enough interest in the student body,” science teacher and club sponsor Ms. Trueblood said. “This year it’s back with new members excited to share their love for ping-pong.”
As one of the non-academic clubs at the school, members want to ensure the club is a safe and relaxed environment, with no big commitments. Additionally, members want to strengthen their skills at Ping-Pong as well.
“Focusing on having fun and working on getting better at table tennis, we are very flexible, always prioritizing member enjoyment,” senior and club president Kellen Cao said. “We focus on coming together with other students interested in ping pong and improving each other.”
The club also wishes to emphasize the importance of ping-pong in developing physical strength. Members are guided on improving coordination and reaction skills, and are tested to check their progress.
“I hold the position of a physical and strength coach,” senior member Jay Kannam said. “My job consists of helping develop the students’ wrist strength and ability to play against aggressive players, which can later be put in play at the tournaments we eventually hold to see who has improved over the week.”
Students interested in joining the club can attend meetings every Monday after school. Relatively little skills or experience are required to join the club, as the club aims to offer exposure and foundational skills for ping-pong.
“Anyone who wants to try ping pong, or has been playing for years, or anywhere in between, should definitely consider joining our club,” Norton said. “As a whole it’s really just a chill place to hang out and have fun, as well as to meet people from different skill levels and a common passion for ping pong.”
