![Posing for a picture at last year’s homecoming, sophomore Emilya Garza sits with her friends on a couch set up for photo-taking. At the 2022 dance, there were arcade machines and students were able to purchase disposable cameras. “Honestly my favorite memory was taking pictures with the couch,” Garza said. “They set up a couch at homecoming and [the backdrop behind] it said ‘2022 Homecoming.’ Everybody was taking pictures there and you could get 20 people on that couch it felt like. That was my favorite part because you could take pictures and laugh and you’ll have them forever.”

Homecoming: The Old and The New
![Posing for the camera, seniors celebrate the start of their last year at this years senior sunrise. This year’s annual tradition was held on Aug. 22 in the Milburn park parking lot and came with complications and confusion that led to obstacles the Student Council had to overcome. “Planning events this year, I would say that it was stressful at first just coming in off of summer and not having done anything and then full on sprinting into the first events,” senior Ainsley Harlan said. “But I think we’ve gotten the hang of it. We’ve kind of gotten our feet under us and we have our group chat, it’s gotten a lot easier to communicate. It can be stressful at times, but I think more importantly it’s fun, I know that some of the people I’m planning it with, like Ariana [Balakrishnan], we have a lot of fun doing it and we enjoy what we’re doing. We like giving the student body a voice. Its kind of why we do what we do, is to tell the admins what the student body wants.” (Photo Courtesy of Ariana Balakrishnan)](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/senior-sunrisept2.jpg)

Junior Clara Rabago will be working as a small group leader at Camp Hope for two weeks over the summer where she will be taking care of the children there and participating in activities such as church services, games, art, and science. “I’m excited to have my own kids this year,” Rabago said. “I like seeing how a kid will come in and be super shy, but then they come out all being friends. They’re so happy and energetic and it’s just cool to see how much these kids grow within a week.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/crossword-pic-edit.jpg)
