Pro Promposals
As prom season comes around, boys and girls start popping the question, “Will you go to prom with me?”
May 6, 2016
Going Bananas
What would you do if a person in a banana suit was in your driveway? On her way home from work, senior Meredith McQueen believed that she was meeting up with friends at her house. Little did she know that she would come home to a surprise in her driveway. Spelled out in bananas, with a clever poster reading “I would go bananas if you would go to prom with me,” and an outfit to match, McQueen’s good friend and fellow senior Ty Marwitz popped the promposal question.
On the night of prom, McQueen and Marwitz “had a really nice time taking pictures, eating dinner and dancing” with their friends. To top it all off, they joined a group of seniors and went to TopGolf.
Wynning Streak
When Jack Grimm was called up by Coach Nadira King at this year’s cheer banquet, junior Wynne Mcdonald laughed because she thought he didn’t have a speech planned. Grimm began his speech thanking the parents and cheerleaders for their effort and support throughout the football season.
“We went 16-0 this season and I’d like to keep my Wynning streak going. Wynne McDonald will you go to prom with me?” Grimm said as McDonald recalls it.
When Grimm asked and walked over to her with a bouquet of flowers, McDonald turned bright red and could only nod her head yes because she was truly speechless.
In regards to prom, “I wouldn’t have wanted to be anyone else’s date,” McDonald said.
High School Musical IRL
We grew up with our expectations of high school being set by Disney original movies, and much to our dismay, dramatic outbursts of song and dance aren’t part of the status quo. This couple however, made a piece of fiction a reality. Senior Taylor Rowe was caught off guard while at work with her boyfriend’s surprise promposal; a banner inspired by High School Musical with a Wildcat t-shirt to match.
Gone Fishin’ for a date
A casual kayaking outing for senior Lauren Shimer turned into a promposal when senior Aaron Richter surprised her with a fish, not just any fish of course. While Shimer was distracted, Richter attached a wooden fish with “Prom?” to the end of a fishing pole. When she turned back around, Richter asked the question.

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)
















![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”
