Murder’s in the Heir

Murder's in the Heir was
a complete success! It was

an ending so diabolical,
no one saw it coming: not
even the cast members
themselves! During intermission the audience had
a chance to question the

able to act out each alternate ending
depending on who the audience
voted for. Every one stayed in character even when things took an unexpected twist for both audience and
the actors. No matter what line was
missed or prop malfunctioned, the
actors were quick to think of an improvisation that saved the scene,
bringing in a few laughs. In the end
the killer was apprehended and all
was well once again in the Starkweather mansion. It is truly a

to see it. Great job cast and crew!

Perhaps the best
dancer of the night was none other
than THE Mr. Goller. Sarah Cox had
the privilege to dance with this
school legend. There’s no doubt that
Sarah’s date, Jake Weldon, was jealous of their memorable dance. When
asked if Mr. Goller or Jake is the
better dancer Sarah replied,
“Mr. Goller is definitely a
better dancer! He knows what
he’s doing and he just kinda
takes control and he makes it
fun. He makes me feel like a
professional dancer because
he just spun me around and
led the way.”
It looks like Jake has some

Sports Update: Track & Field
Kathryn Dreas
The track and field teams have had
wonderful seasons so far. Now they
are preparing for regionals and have
their eyes set on qualifying for state.
In the field part, multiple throwers
have the chance to move on to state
including Drew McIntosh, Derrick
Barnes and Rashard Ross. The boys’
sprinting team is hoping to build off
their recent momentum. At the last
meet they broke the school record in
the sprint medley and came in first!
Their 4x100 and 4x200 have also
been strong. Noah Linstead is confident that at least one of their relays
should qualify. The girls sprinting
team has been consistent all year as
well. Head coach Josh is confident
they can have a great race. The girls’
4x800 team is also on pace to qualify
and even medal at state! Coach Jamie says he is proud of the hard
work the girls have put in this year.
He adds that the training has gone
well and they are more than prepared. Because of that, he believes
that they can be faster than last year’s
team that finished fourth at state!
Regionals are May 13th at Walton.
The team would love for you to come
out and cheer them on! The state
meet is the following Saturday, the

and support our Indians to hopefully
another state title!

GSP Students

About a month ago, four
Holy Cross students found out that
they were accepted into the Governor Scholars Program. These students are Catherine Ehlman, Nate
Doggett, Sydney Robke, and Michael Bramer. They are four of the
most well rounded students that attend Holy Cross and definitely are
worthy of this huge honor. After
hearing about the great experiences
that 2014 Governor Scholars, Michael Groeschen and Natalie Jehn,
had last summer, it is no wonder
why these four students are so excited for what will be, “The best five
weeks of their lives.”
When interviewed, all four
of these scholars seemed very excited for this summer. When asked
what they are most looking forward
to, Catherine responded, “I'm just
excited to meet people from all over
Kentucky and make long lasting
friendships.” Sydney, Nate, and Michael all agreed with her statement.
All four of them are very friendly
and easy to talk to, so they will not
have any problems creating these life
long friendships with their fellow
scholars that they will meet. Michael
said he is really looking forward to
exploring the focus areas he chose,
which will either be journalism and
mass media, or psychology and behavioral studies. All four options
sound very interesting! They are all
eager to find out what their focus
areas are that they will be studying
for the five weeks they are there.
GSP is not just a place
where learn, it also will prepare them
for college. They will either attend
GSP at Morehead State University,
Bellarmine University, or Murray
State University. Not only are they
studying in actual college class-

rooms, but they will also be staying
in college dorms as well. This will
give them a taste of what college
will feel like, which is Nate is kind
of nervous about, as well as being so
far away from home. They will be
the first of their class to have a college experience. This will serve as a
huge advantage to them when next
year rolls around and they are getting
ready to go off to college. A lot of
their nerves will be settled since they
already know, somewhat, what college life will be like.
Sydney, Catherine and Michael all said they are more excited
than nervous. Sydney is worried
because it is a huge adjustment, and
Michael is anxious to find out which
location he will get to attend. Catherine is just a little worried about
leaving home by herself for five
weeks. But nevertheless she is ex-
tremely excited.
The final question they were
asked them was what they all hope to
get out of GSP this summer. All four
of them agree that want to meet new
people, learn more, and hopefully
come closer to figuring out what they
want to do for the rest of their lives.
Nate is also extremely excited to
represent Holy Cross the five weeks
he will be on campus studying. They
will all do a fantastic job of representing Holy Cross and we are all so
proud of Catherine, Nate, Sydney,
and Michael. Congratulations on
being accepted, all your hard work
has paid off. We wish you the best of
luck this summer and look forward to
hearing all about it!

Freshman Spotlight: Isaac Schultz
Michael Bramer
Isaac Schultz is
one of the most interestingly outspoken students at Holy Cross high
school. Working hard to survive his
freshman year, he has stated that his
brief time at Holy Cross has been,
"Pretty good because nothing has
turned me off...nothing has 'repulsed'
me." Beyond school work Isaac also
participates in numerous extracurricular activities such as the Y club
and the drama department. In the Y
club Isaac participated in KYA and
KUNA. While discussing both
events he stated, "I think KYA was
stricter and demanded a lot more
work than KUNA but I liked KYA
better because it had a more professional atmosphere." Moreover, he
enjoys working alongside the drama
department and has participated in
its rendition of Beauty and the Beast.
Within his vibrant school life he
strives to obtain three goals: get a 30
or higher on the ACT, do not get
expelled, and before his death he
wants to fly in one of the squirrellike gliding suites because they look
so fun.
Beyond his school goals
and underneath his vibrantly active
and interesting attitude, Isaac has
maintained an interesting list of
wishes. If he had three wishes he
would wish for more wishes and a
mega-profitable robotics manufacturing company. Moreover, he really
wants to wish for the power to read
people's mind in order to mess with
them or, if that powers proves to be
boring, he wants the ability to travel
through time. With this ability he
wants to travel back to ancient Egypt
with all the modern day technology
so he can take all their gold. After
becoming rich he would return to the
present and live in style with all his
wealth he had accumulated. With all
this wealth he accumulates from his
numerous adventures, Isaac then
wants to invest in every business, get
more money, and then solve all the
world’s problems with his wealth.
After this he hopes to become king
of the world. Finally, to keep his
legacy alive he is going to clone
himself so
he will
never die.
This being
on par with
his most
recent
drama role
as Simon
Starkweather:
billionaire
who was
murdered over his “new will” to
clone himself.
Overall, Isaac Schultz is a
great person. He always holds himself in a happy and humorous manner. With this attitude he continues to
have an interesting perspective on
life in every activity he participates
in. Thus, good luck Isaac Shultz on
finishing out the school year strong
and always striving to express your
great personality.

The Draft
Molly Bilz
The Cincinnati Bengals are
officially off the clock. With nine
picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the
Bengals selected two offensive tackles, two tight ends, a wide receiver,
an inside line backer, a corner back,
a defensive end and a free safety. No
big names stand out in these selections. But this can be expected when
the Bengals’ first round pick was a
lineman. A Texas A&M graduate,
Cedric Ogbuehi was the first player
called to join Cincinnati on its quest
for redemption for the fourth year in
a row. Although he is coming off of
a torn ACL, Ogbuehi shows promising skill that a struggling offensive
line needs. A fading offensive line
with injuries to Andrew Whitworth
and Andre Smith left quarterback
Andy Dalton vulnerable to extreme
pressure practically every snap.
Hopefully the addition of Jake
Fisher will give Dalton more time
and less exposure to defensive tackles. Fisher came out of Oregon, the
runner up in the 2014 College Foot-
ball Playoffs. He played with the
2014 Heisman Trophy Winner and
number two overall pick Marcus
Mariota. A quarterback is a direct
result of his offensive line, so Fisher
must have done something right.
The decision to select an offensive
lineman with the twenty-first and
fifty-third overall picks shows the
Bengals belief in their quarterback
Andy Dalton.
This upcoming season will
prove how naïve Cincinnati is in this
belief. If Dalton’s numbers improve,
Mike Brown and his staff are geniuses, fixing the problem that has
held this team back for five years.
But if Dalton is as inconsistent as his
previous years, Brown will once
again be criticized for wasting yet
another key opportunity for his
team. It could go either way. Protection wasn’t the only thing gained by
Dalton this draft. He received a
bounty of targets for the passing
game. Thank goodness because A.J.
Green was getting lonely. With a
few losses in the offseason, Tyler
Kroft, C.J. Uzomah, and Mario Alford were added to the Bengals. It’s
hard to say if any of these players
will have an impact this season, but
chances are the answer is no. None
are standouts, except for maybe
Kroft who could be of some help in
the red zone. A common theme for
Bengals is their choosing of players
with questionable resumes. Vontaze
Burfict and Adam Jones were gambles that happened to work out
nicely for Cincinnati, but Brown
seems to be looking to strike gold a
third time. Just ask Cleveland, sometimes it’s better to draft players with
morals and a work ethic. That’s one
lesson they learned the hard way last
year with their quarterback pick.
Either way, the Bengals seemed to at
least attempt to solve its remaining
issues and holes, but nine players
will not change this team’s inability
to win a postseason game.
Cincinnati Reds Season Overview
Morgan Carl
The Cincinnati Reds have
struggled to provide the winning
streak so many fans want. Their
current record stands at 8 wins10
losses. It is no surprise that they are
struggling right now, due to the fact
that it is still early in the season. They have already faced a
great deal of hardships in their off
season thanks to illness and injuries
to key player such as Joey Votto and
Jay Bruce. Resulting from this, manager Bryan Price made a few
changes to the line up. The team
traded Mat Latos and Alfred Simon,
but added Marlon Byrd through a
trade, and signed Burke Badenhop
and Kevin Gregg.
The Reds manger Price was
not off to a great start this season.
This was apparent when the Reds
lost four games in a row, and Price
responded to a press question with a
five and a half minute response
which included the use of a certain
curse word 77 times. It is obvious
that the losing streak the Reds faced
not only affected the fans and players, but the manager as well. He did,
however, eventually apologize for
his use of profanity.
The Reds are predicted to
win the series against the Milwaukee
Brewers the week of April 27 with a
final prediction score of 5-2. Let's
hope that our Red Legs can pull
ahead and get some more wins!

Protests Being Judged Unfairly
Jake Hassert
The recent death of yet another unarmed black man by the
hands of police has added momentum
to the current discussion of whether
police are too brutal towards the black
community, and whether the often
violent response to that alleged brutality is justified or not. To some people, this death seems particularly contemptuous. On 12 April 2015, Baltimore resident Freddie Gray was taken
into custody for, according to The
Associated Press news service, making eye contact with an officer and
immediately running away. He was
pursued, handcuffed, and thrown into
a police van. In the time from the
moment that he was arrested to the
time they arrived at the police station,
Gray had suffered a spinal injury, and
died a week later. It’s not clear how
the injury occurred, but police freely
acknowledge that they didn’t buckle
him into the van, even though he was
handcuffed. In police circles, this is
known as a “rough ride”, in which
they intentionally drive recklessly to
throw the unrestrained subject around
the van. Police also acknowledge they
denied him prompt medical attention.
Weeks after Gray’s apparently unjustified arrest and his later
death, outrage culminated in Baltimore. As a few aggressive individuals
disrupted the peaceful protests, the
amount of arrests skyrocketed, nearing 250 in the first couple days and
causing government officials to impose a curfew and bring in the National Guard. Due to the actions of a
select few violent rioters, the nature
of the peaceful protestors was sullied
in the eyes of many citizens of America, and the legitimacy of the protest
itself became a topic of fierce debate;
especially over social media. For example, in reaction to critics of these
protests, popular Twitter user Sarah
Jeong said “If ‘a few violent protestors’ means you have to dis-
Chaos in the streets of Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray
perse/arrest an entire protest, what
does ‘a few violent cops’ mean for a
department.”
Unfortunately, when discussing the protests, people often see
the protest as a reaction to one particular event. However, it is important
to realize that people are protesting
the violence towards blacks as a
whole, not one particular death. Often, people’s aversion to these protests is that “you can’t stop violence
with violence”. And while that may
seem reasonable in essence, it is important to understand the history behind the protests. Peaceful protests
were a tool used by the oppressed
black community to gain the sympathies of the privileged class in order
to provoke reform. However, when
peaceful protests don’t cause change
– as they haven’t caused much change
nationwide since the similar death of
a black man by the hands of police in
Ferguson – how else is change expected to come about? Not that the
full-scale riots resulting in injury,
destruction of property, etc… are
justified, the anger behind them is,
however, understandable.
Throughout the course of
history, nearly every effort made
across the country to build black
power, to promote the black community, to fight the institutionalized racism that they’ve experienced, has
been met with anti-black violence. It
has been met with murders, lynchings,
and repression. Throughout history,
the black youth growing up in these
cities have been entrapped by racism,
violence, and oppression. They’ve
lived in a country whose economy
rarely hires blacks, and then underpays and mistreats them. They’ve
lived in an economy that enslaved
them, segregated them, and attempted
to erase their history in order to control their future; all of whose repercussions are still felt today. They’ve lived
in a system that murdered, entrapped,
and repressed them and then complained when they revolted. The people have lived through all this, and the
people have had enough. They need,
they demand, change. In conclusion, it
is in this context that the protests need
to be understood.

Age of Adaline Review
Morgan Carl
The Age of
Adaline, starring Blake Lively, is
a fictional film about the life of a
108 year old woman by the name
of Adaline Bowman. Most people
do not live to the age of 108;
however, Adaline is not like most
people. At the age of twenty nine,
snow began falling while she was
driving, causing her to lose control of her vehicle. Her car ran
into a fence surrounding a river,
resulting in her car driving into
the water and completely submerging in a matter of seconds.
She became unconscious as soon
as her car hit the water. She
stopped breathing, and soon after
her heart stopped beating. Adaline
was dead. However, a few minutes
later, a huge bolt of lightning struck
the hood of the car. This bolt acted
as a defibrillator and caused her to
become immortal. After that moment, she would not age a day over
twenty nine for all eternity. This
incident was told by an omniscient
man who gave vague details. He
attempted to make this whole explanation sound very scientific by using
words such as “volts” and
“amperes” when in reality it had too
many loose ends and sounded too
cheesy to even be real in a movie.
The movie continued on
and Adaline was discovered by the
FBI and they captured her wanting
to perform tests on her. After she
escaped their custody by sneaking
out of the trunk of their car, she
vowed to herself that she would
change her identity every ten years
to avoid confrontations with these
men. Strangely, they never found
her again which seems ridiculous
because if she looks exactly the
same, how could the FBI not figure
out that it was her by her picture?
Even if she has a different identity,
her looks are still the same. It just
seems completely ridiculous. They
then introduce a man named Ellis
who Adaline meets by exchanging
glances across a crowded room at a
New Year's Eve party. They then act
as if they have known each other
their entire lives after they have just
met. Later on, he takes her on their
first date and she avoids connection,
as she has done with all of her previous love experiences in the past, due
to the fact that she cannot age. Then
once she stops returning his phone
calls, he turns into somewhat of a
stalker, the sweet kind I guess (if
there is such a thing), and shows up
to her apartment without her giving
him her address. She freaks out, but
then later that same day she shows
up to his work and surprises him by
taking him to an old time indoor
drive-in movie theater where they
look at the stars painted on the ceiling. He invites her back to his house
where they have dinner and she
spends the night. Moving a little fast
there, don't you think? Then he in-
vites her to spend a weekend with
him and his parents. The movie gave
the feeling equivalent to reading a
Shakespeare play where the tragic
heroine, Adaline, deals with the
struggle of her non aging issue, and
falls in love in three days. Shakespeare plays speed up time and that's
exactly what the movie did.
Explaining too much more
of the movie will give away the ending for any readers who still want to
see the movie. But in conclusion, the
movie was a little too unrealistic and
left too many loose ends in the plot. I
give this film two and a half stars, as
it was not completely awful. It is a
cute movie to go see with some
friends on the weekend.

Kadeem, what did you think about the walk-a-thon?
-I was okay with it. I always like the walk-a-thon. You get to spend the day doing your God-given ability: to walk around
Covington and site see
What can you site see in Covington?
Nothin’. Maybe the lovely establishments of the fine Latonia Terrace
Do you think the walk-a-thon distance is too long or short?
I think they should extend it further into Covington. To scare kids
Do you view yourself as having a walk-a-thon advantage since you are a cross country and track runner?
Yes. Everyone was complaining about their legs hurting the next day, but my legs were cool
Did you stop at any places during the walk-a-thon?
I was contemplating stopping by my house and making one of those Digiorno pizzas and some crispy crinkle cut fries. A
wise man once said, “Kool-aid and frozen pizza is a work of art like the Mona Lisa.” But no I did not.”
Did you think the required $35.00 was too much to ask of each person in order to walk?
I don’t think so because I’m a self-made thousandaire. I can afford that.
How would you feel about the school wide Indian Fun Day being scheduled after the seniors ae finished with this school year?
Well honestly, since junior year, everyday has been a fun day.
If you were a car what kind of car would you be? What about your friends?
I’d be a 1970 Dodge Charger or ’68 Chevelle. Because I would want to get rolled by Vin Diesel. My friends would be the
General Lee – because the Duke boys are always into shenanigans plus it’s another Dodge Charger – we gotta stick to
gether
I hear that when you run cross country, you determine your speed that day in terms of gears. What speeds apply to which gears?
Like NASCAR, each week they put in a different engine depending on the track. Each day I determine how much effort I
want to give that day and that determines how fast I run.
I recently heard a funny friend of mine telling a story mocking someone who reminded me a lot of myself. It was practically déjà
vu. I asked if it was about me and he said I should be so selfish and laughed at me with a mutual friend from cross country. What
would you do?
It sounds like that person was having a bad day and they needed Jesus. Go all like black woman homily

Bring your own salt to lunch

between 4:00pm and 11:00pm

new friend)

classed. Be proud of all of
your accomplishments on
and especially off the field.
Of all the teams we have
ever had, I would vote this
years seniors as most likely
to succeed! (Well except
maybe Gerrein)
Speaking of Gerrein: Mike, I’ve
been a lot of places and been
given a lot of awards. I can
honestly say that your Scout
pin is one I am most proud
of! Thank you for that! God
bless you and be with you
and your family (especially
Jacob as you teach him to
hunt). He obviously needs a
better instructor!
Justin, Good Luck! I will watch
as you go on to college and
get educated! (and play) To
you I leave the remainder of
my old right coaching shoe!
You’re wearing the remainder!
Kyla I leave just this: Life is one
big calculus problem! Just
as you begin to figure it out,
you realize you were doing
the wrong problem!
To my 4th Period Precalculus
Class: I leave Max’s old
winter jacket and all the
homework Chase and Ryan
left undone!
To Abby, Cessie, Ally and Deja
my Physics, Honors Precalculus and Calculus team, I
take as my special memories
the conversations about competition and caring about
each other through the hard
times as tools to use as I
continue to coach at HC.
You guys inspired the school
and especially me to make
myself better at what I do.
In return I offer my microwave on a moments notice
and all the words of wisdom
my concussed brain can
come up with! The pursuit
of excellence is a life time
goal and not something to
make a three month run at.
You’ve left your mark at HC
now you have to live with
the consequences! You’ll be
great as long as you never
settle! PS. Abby, I’ll never
forget the birthday party you
had for Gavin while Ceseie
and Ally were up to their
neck in Physics!
