![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].”

Generally when you think of zombie movies, love isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The blood, guts and gore that play a main role in zombie flicks are a prime contrast to the mushy, gushy love in romance films. Yet sometimes, the stars align and the two combine in a strange, juxtaposed situation. Such happens in the movie Warm Bodies, released Feb. 1, 2013.
When I walked into the theater, prepared for a casual double date, and learned that I’d be seeing a zombie movie, I was less than thrilled. Zombie movie? Date? Blood? Boyfriend? The combination seemed fatal. Next, I learned that Warm Bodies was a romance. A new combination came to mind, and I envisioned a twisted zombie apocalypse. And that was exactly what I got.
IMDb labels the movie in the comedy/horror/romance genre. Prepared for the horror and romance, I wondered what laughs could come out of such a strange setting. The first few were sparse chuckles, the next were some giggles, and the last were some solid few-second laughs. Although I didn’t have tears in my eyes, roll on the floor, or choke on my super-salty-buttery-popcorn, they’d nevertheless gotten a giggle out of me.
Rarely can I say that I laughed during a movie that didn’t include Will Ferrell, but I did. To be honest, rarely can I say that I stayed awake during a movie at all. If I’m going to watch a movie, it has to be entertaining, easy to follow, and interesting to say the least. Warm Bodies fulfilled all the requirements and exceeded my expectations.
For a person that favors Nicholas Sparks and Channing Tatum, I was pleasantly surprised when I got Dave Franco and Teresa Palmer. I mean I wasn’t complaining, and neither was my boyfriend. Although I wouldn’t consider Warm Bodies a spectacular comedy, horror, or romance, it was an exceptional combination of the three.
