Overall, the girls team took second place and the boys team came in eleventh. “My favorite stroke is butterfly because I do the best in that stroke,” Pope said. “I feel like [butterfly] can test how [your ability] to convince yourself to keep going. The hardest part of swimming is convincing yourself to stay strong and keep pushing during a hard race [when] everything is tired.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/POPE-1200x804.jpg)

But I think the reason it went well [was that] people got to ask questions. I'm glad that she said so much in response to the questions and it wasn't just one and done. [The author’s responses] felt very articulate.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sebastian-5-1200x800.jpg)

During the summer, Peterson traveled to Colombia to help build an elementary school that only had two classrooms but five or six grades with one teacher. “We add[ed] two more classrooms,” Peterson said. “It’s kind of hard when you have two or three grades in one classroom and you only have one teacher. It’s very hard to actually get some beneficial learning. [The extra classrooms will give the students] a better quality of education because they’ll actually have a place specific for their learning.” Photo by Taylor Peterson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taylor-P.png)

We took them out and it was just a really awesome night.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Kassidy-419.jpg)

September 24, 2014
Anyone who’s a fan of watching television should be excited about Fall 2014; viewers should get ready to surf some channels and get hooked on some new shows, as well as fall in love all over again with series’ new seasons.
Promising new series are scheduled to air all throughout September and October. Both Fox and CW have new series based on comic book worlds: “Gotham” and “The Flash,” based on the plots of Batman and Flash comics, respectively. “Gotham,” airing Sept. 22 at 7 p.m., revolves around future Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon and his original story. “The Flash,” premiering Oct. 7 at 7 p.m., focuses on protagonist Barry Allen’s transformation into the fastest man alive after a lab explosion.
For those not interested in superhero action series, the History channel has recently premiered the new “Houdini” starring Adrien Brody. A new show which first aired Sept. 1 at 8 p.m., “Houdini” will chronicle the life of illusionist Harry Houdini. Those not interested in either genre may instead enjoy “A to Z,” a romantic comedy that narrates a couple’s relationship from its beginning to end. Starring Ben Feldman from “Mad Men” and Cristin Milioti from “How I Met Your Mother,” this new show airs Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
TV-lovers can also rekindle their love for their favorite shows, because some are making a comeback. The ever-popular “American Horry Story” is putting out a new season, subtitled as “Freak Show,” on Oct. 8 at 10 p.m. on FX. Much of the old cast will star again, this time in the setting of a carnival’s freak show. In the same horror and adventure genre, “Supernatural” is making its return to CW for its 10th season, airing Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. Two days before the new season premier for “Supernatural” is that of “Bob’s Burgers,” airing Oct. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
