![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. 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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Name: Skyfall
Director: Sam Mendes
Rating: PG-13
Release date: November 9, 2012
Run time: 143 minutes
The twenty-third James Bond movie with Daniel Craig returning as James Bond could possibly be the best one so far, with director Sam Mendes executing a suspenseful atmosphere that mixed in just the right amount of comedy and romance. The overall mission of James Bond this time around is to keep a top secret computer drive that has escaped headquarters from being leaked to the public. Through many action packed scenes, cleverly executed stunts, and in true James Bond fashion, many trysts with Bond girls, James locates the man behind the stealing who, to his surprise, is someone from M’s (Judi Dench) past. In order to retrieve the stolen drive, Bond has to relive his own past, however painful that may be. While many James Bond movies are packed with hollow fight and love scenes, this movie hit it right on the head. Skyfall keeps true Bond character with its dramatic flair, but allows audiences to see a deeper side of James Bond than ever before. This movie was the best one to date and, with a PG-13 rating, would be a perfect choice for mature audiences. Skyfall is currently playing at Lakeline and 1890 Ranch.
Rating: 4.5/5
