Nice. That was good. Now I have to think about this. Okay, I'm doing this. Look over there. Look at this. It's really cool to have your brain be able to process so many things simultaneously while you're running. You're marching. You're playing. And it's really hard to.

Shooting for Superstar Status

It's kind of crazy that we've been doing it for three years and last year we didn't even place in finals, and now this year we were literally first in the world.” (Photo Courtesy of Kimberly Stapleton)](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/DECA-2023-900x600.png)

Beyond the Design

The Curious Case of Arthur Ce
![Standing in front of a small audience, senior Kimberley Walters shares a social criticism poem titled “Pity the Nation” by Lawrence Felinghetti. Every month, sponsored by the poetry club, the library hosts a poetry reading. “I never thought I would be interested in [poetry readings] because I’m not the biggest poetry fan,” Walters said. “I think poetry is a very succinct way to express feelings and get a story across. Whereas lots of books have a span of a whole story, but it’s put in a lot of words. The power of poetry is that you can be so succinct within, and there’s a lot of power within the words that are used.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/KIM-1200x800.jpg)
