Six years later there is still no theater, only a pile of dirt. Christopher Grimes, Facilities Development Director for the RJUHSD, explained that they have made multiple theater designs for AHS, but each design would cost between $8 million and $10 million. The district has attempted to find a way to give AHS a theater, but they are also attempting to build another high school in the district. John Becker, the principal of AHS, is not happy that their performing arts program doesn’t have a place to perform and says it makes the campus feel, “incomplete.” “We have such an amazing performing arts program that I feel frustrated for the students who don’t have a professional venue to perform equal to others in our district.” As much as he wishes something could be done he knows that the main issue is cost. “The superintendents, both old and new, have really tried,” says Becker. “The district looked at a bond measure for the Antelope EDITORS Elizabeth “Liz” & Gregg Goldthorpe PRODUCTION ASSISTANT Emily Goldthorpe ADVERTISING Liz & Gregg Goldthorpe CONTRIBUTORS Roberta MacGlashan, Dori Kelsey, Scott A.

Not long ago, construction workers have begun working in that area, but not for the future theater. Since the capacity of the school is around 1,850 students and there are currently 1,814 students at the school it has become crowded and the district has decided to add five classrooms to the area near the football stadium.

Her dad can’t find the money to fix up the family’s soda shop; her older jock brother, Jimmy, is flunking out of school; and her younger brother, Tommy, has retreated into a fantasy world of comic book superheroes since their mom died. To add to the dilemma, Judy has a major crush on Ricky, a new guy in town who’s a mysterious loner. Enter Angela, a bumbling angel-in-training who must earn her halo by helping the Hardings. But when the shop is hit first by a fire and then a flood, is it divine providence or disaster? Salvation or catastrophe? A quiz show and hula hooping are all part of the miracle that help save Judy and her family. Show times are November 14th & 15th and November 21st & 22nd. Friday evening shows at 7:00 PM, Saturday shows at 2:00PM and 7:00 PM. General admission is $5 at the door.

One of the most unique is the area decoration competition where each class takes a section of the school and decorates according to the theme. This year’s theme was PIXAR. Center High was miraculously transformed into what felt like the movie sets for Toy Story, Loehr Finding Nemo, Up and Monsters Inc., complete with Pixar characters roaming the campus. The excitement surrounding the area decorations spilled over into the nighttime activities. The Homecoming game was an electric evening of football, royalty, floats, and performances by the band and cheer teams. My wife Jenny and I, along with other district administrators and board members volunteered our time in the CHS snackbar where we could feel the excitement and experience all of the Homecoming festivities.

Grimes said there will still be room for a theater and that one of the plans even included classrooms near the theater for drama, dance, and band, but some students and parents are skeptical. Knowing that five classrooms are going to be added to the area where the theater will be, students like Senior Jake Koeberlein feel that there will not be enough room for the theater. “Being a member of band, I’m upset and a little frustrated that there isn’t a theater at Antelope High and I don’t think there will be sufficient room for a theater by the time these additional classrooms are built.” Koeberlein’s mother, Gena Koeberlein, is the Antelope Football Parents Booster Club (AFPBC) president and worries about how this project will affect the future theater. “I’m not an architect, but the first thing that crossed my mind when I found out what Cougars on the Green Photos by Cristal Campos the new construction was geared towards was fear this project would squash any dreams of a future theater.” Gena also feels that the school, community, and district could benefit from a theater. With her son in band, Gena said, “He should not have to participate in shows at other high schools. He should be allowed to play at his own high school in his own community. Admission could be charged at all the events, earning additional income for the district.” Both Becker and Grimes said that spending this money now is important and can allow the school to grow. As for the theater, the district is working on a plan to construct it, but until the necessary funds are reached the plans will have to remain on paper. the challenges and improve both as individuals and as a team.

While only the top twelve players participate at the varsity level, the new addition of JV Match Friday has given every member of the team the opportunity to experience true competition on the court. Officially, there was no JV level play in C.I.F. Instead, the JV players held exhibition matches after varsity matches ended, often ending early because of the dark. JV athletes were unable to wear a school uniform and truly represent their schools. This disadvantage conflicted with the obvious advantage of encouraging larger squads, in which players could continue to improve and provide a feeder into varsity play. JV Match Friday is now a full competitive experience for all players with new tennis balls, a line-up announcement, cheers, tables, chairs for visitors, and parent participation! Coach Mark Shahan reflected, “It has turned out to be a very positive experience for all the JV players for every school in the new league. We will do it again next year, too.” This year’s varsity has seven seniors, two juniors, and four freshmen able to beat out others for a varsity spot. The talented newcomers are a needed transition with the school’s recent switch from Division III to Division II . “We are starting to see the appearance 13 of players that learned and played tennis through the park and rec system,” explained Shahan. “We had a significant cultural and environmental change because we lost two weeks out of our four week preseason play when we switched divisions. Players must now come to the courts with the skill of tennis already at hand. Gone are the days where I taught beginner tennis for four weeks. I only have enough time now to evaluate, form a varsity team ladder, and teach tactics and strategy for both singles and doubles players before matches begin.” Shahan is eager to work alongside Sunrise Recreation and Park District to develop a Titan Tennis Camp so potential players can ‘Get Racquet Ready!’ This will help grow the program as fewer players will set down their racquets post season , and more athletes will continue to improve over the year and return ready for competition. This year’s captain is junior, Ana Muntean, a three-year player. All team members elected Muntean in a secret and unanimous vote. “She keeps the spirit at games and practice very positive by innovative new cheers, giving out fresh scarlet-colored hair ribbon, designing uniforms, organizing Rally Night, and developing team spirit on away games,” said Shahan. “During matches, she helps organize groups to cheer players. No one leaves a match when finished when Ana is around because they stay and cheer. She even has a kit labeled “Emergency Spirit Kit” that contains hair ribbon, bows, and clips. She inspires others to do their best and maintain great Titan sportsmanship.” All in all, despite the outcome of individual scores, the Titan Tennis season surely has established its own special successes this season. “My season goals this year were to maintain both the positive high-spirited attitude and athleticism at every practice for both advanced and beginner players so they keep coming back every year and hopefully bring a friend,” said Shahan. “Also, in the past years some head coaches did not get the girls’ tennis team recognition during homecoming week’s Rally Night. This year as head coach, I made sure they were recognized and earned the respect as athletes which they deserve.” Indeed, they do.
