![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. 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].”

Formula 1 has 823 million fans, a 63% increase from 2018, making it the world’s most popular annual sporting series, according to Formula1.com. The release of the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt in June was very successful becoming the largest-grossing sports film of all time and Pitt’s highest grossing. Among young audiences, the sport has been growing in popularity as 43% of fans are under 35. And of the Gen Z fans, 70% of them follow the sport daily, according to USA Today. One of those fans is junior Jasper Chen, founder of the new Formula 1 club. Club sponsor Heather Kalenak first noticed Chen’s love for Formula 1 in her class.
“We did a project in the beginning of the year in our class where they had to use an analogy for cell structures and he and his group used F1 racing as their analogy,” Kalenak said. “So it wasn’t a surprise to me when he then turned around and wanted to start a club.”
The club will keep up with races, using a chart to record and track everything. The discussion in the club is most important to Chen.
“I think a lot of other clubs and their meetings, they mostly have their presentation and the officers just talk through the presentation for a majority of the meeting time,” Chen said. “But what we do differently is we still do a brief introduction for the basic information but then we have open discussion time. We like to have a lot of discussion. We want to get people interacting with fellow motor sport lovers for bonding and getting to know each other.”
One member, junior Michael Odonoghue, has first hand experience with the discussion style at the first meeting. Being a newer fan to the sport, he explains how having this open discussion was welcoming to him.
“I joined it because I’m interested in it, but I don’t know a lot about it,” Odonoghue said. “I think it’s good there’s more conversation because I can learn more about it, learn what I need to know and have more of an understanding of this new sport.”
Chen doesn’t want to just limit the club to Formula 1. With several other motorsport racing leagues out there, Chen is open to the idea of involving discussion beyond just Formula 1.
“We’re open to all kinds of people, even if they’re not interested in Formula 1, because there’s a lot of different kinds of racing, like Endurance Racing, Indy Car and there’s also NASCAR,” Chen said. “There’s a lot that happens, and I think it’d be a good idea to just get together and talk about racing in general. It doesn’t have to all be focused on Formula 1.”
The next meeting is to be held during DEN next Tuesday on 3/10 in Mrs Kalenak’s room, 5006. To stay updated, you can join their Google Classroom with code o24c2txe or their Instagram, @cphs_f1club.
