February 2013 LV-4An open forum for student opinion and expression TRICOLORTIMES.COM

Opinion by Naomi NewtonHELLO, Lancers. My name is Naomi and I’m a senior. This year is my first year as part of the Tri-Color Times, my second year as a Madrigal, and my third year as a cast member of the school musical. Most of you have never met me, but all of you have prob-ably seen me. Even if you never attended the assemblies, never went to the concerts, and nev-er bought tickets to the school shows, you’ve probably seen me walking between the school and my house. I live in the neighborhood south of the seminary: Spring Water Drive. Since I live so close to the school, I walk the short distance four times a day: to Granger at the beginning of the day, home for first lunch, to Granger for third period, home for the rest of the day. If there’s rehearsal, par-ent-teacher conferences, or some other event after school, I walk to and back for those as well. Why am I telling you this? I’ve lived a hop, skip, and jump away from the school since I was four months old – longer than I can re-member. Granger High was never a school to me, it was just part of the landscape, like a mountain or the canal.

In the summer, my dad would take my siblings and me to the tennis courts. We’d play for a while, then we’d get distracted and run around behind the math and English building. I didn’t know what it was back then. When my brother and I learned how to ride our bicycles, Dad took us to the empty parking lot. We had fun riding on the driving range. We had fun avoiding the rain gutters. We had fun riding on the rain gutters. I remember how vast the parking lot and school buildings seemed. I wondered how people didn’t get lost. We’d often spend a pretty day at the park. We’d cross through the seminary parking lot, over the bridge, through the school park-ing lot, and in front of the school. I remember balancing on the con-crete lip and feeling tall. My brother and I took a swim class at the pool when I was six. Mom would walk us over, we’d swim, and we’d walk back with wet suits and towels around our waists. Whenever we walked over the canal, I noticed the CTR on the bridge between the seminary and the school. It was the first time I’ve ever seen something from church outside church. One time

I crossed on the outside of the handrail, and I felt brave. One winter, Pioneer Elemen-tary had its Winter Sing-a-Round in the gym. It was the first time Granger High School “clicked” as a school in my mind. The stairs, the halls, the Lancer – everything was so big! I marveled at the idea that I’d ever be able to navigate this place without getting hope-lessly lost. I don’t remember when I first realized that I would be one of the students who’d use that build-ing a few houses down or when I first understood that it was a high school, and that everyone went to high school. It was prob-ably sometime in my junior high years, when we took two foreign exchange students into our home. Both of them were juniors, and both of them walked to school. I’m going to be like that in a few years, I thought. I’m going to walk to school. Ninth grade happened. We talk-ed about credits. We talked about classes. I enrolled in Brother Whitmer’s early morning seminary class and felt like I was missing out on all the lunch socials. I registered for sophomore classes. I felt so much freedom in

being able to choose what classes I’d take! Every day as I walked from my house to the pool, to the math and English building, to the main building, to the seminary, and home again, I thought of all the things I’d done here before be-coming a Lancer. I thought of my parents, who both attended this school. I thought of my younger siblings, who’d be Lancers like me, but would go to school in a completely different building. I thought of graduation and the in-evitable day when this old place would be taken down to make way for a new Granger High. This year, we’re all saying goodbye. Goodbye to the Stone-henge. Goodbye to the math and English building. Goodbye to the ridiculously short stall doors in the bathrooms. Goodbye, Granger High. As students, staff, and faculty say goodbye to their cherished school, I say goodbye to something else. I say goodbye to the parking lot where I rode my bike. I say goodbye to the math and English building where I’d sit in the shade. I say goodbye to the giant, intimidating building I never imagined sprinting through to get to class before the 7:30 bell. In a way, I’m saying goodbye to my childhood.

Dear Granger High: a love letter

As Randall leaves we welcome Officer RicciBy Kelly Sanmiguel IN HIGH school, the chances of finding crime within the halls are quite high, and Granger is not sheltered from this fact. After eleven years of being served by Detective Randall, his recent retirement left an open spot for a new school officer. Officer Anthony Ricci, a Salt Lake native, has gladly taken on the job of protecting the bustling halls of Granger High School.

Ricci started out as a press mas-ter, but don’t let that fool you. He isn’t oblivious to the way youth function and interact. He’s also coached a little league flag foot-ball team. So far, Ricci’s been impressed by Granger, “It’s great, I love Granger,” Ricci said. Ricci spent five and a half months training in the police academy. There, he was trained as a firearm instructor and a field

training officer. Ricci’s desire to help others is what fueled his mo-tivation to pursue a law enforce-ment career. “It can be hard, but for the most part, it isn’t too bad,” Ricci said.Some words of advice for those who are thinking of looking into law enforcement, “DON’T GET ARRESTED,” Ricci said. Another thing to look into, is the law enforcement class which he also took over when Randall

retired. Aside from being the new school cop, he loves to play volleyball and his favorite color is Granger gray. School cops are placed in schools to help keep students and faculty safe. Never forget, if trouble is seen don’t hesitate to go and talk to officer Ricci! His training in the police academy has prepared him for sticky situations in need of solutions.

Although the original Granger High is going to be gone by the time school starts next year, it will not be forgotten.

20 years into the futureBy Brianna BauerLOOKING into the future, life will always have its surprises. From flying cars to the cure for any disease, the future might bring some big and bright sur-prises to everyone’s eyes. To many seniors, it seems like the future is right around the cor-ner, many are scared but some want to take it hands on. “I have always pictured flying cars and being able to go to the moon as types of things the fu-ture has in store for the world,” Jennifer Perez (12) said. “I think life is going to be pos-sibly more difficult or harder to keep up with because of all the developing technology and re-sources that could possibly not be around anymore could really affect the world as we know it,” Perez said. But from looking at it from a different perspective, many could see different things being more important than others. “I could see a lot of people building robots to do every-thing for them that they would normally have to do on a daily basis, but then again that could have its bad side effects on it and they could turn bad on all of us,” she said. “Trying to look more into the future like 20 years from now, I couldn’t see how they will need

more people in the armed forces because they will probably just use robots or droids of any sort,”

she said. “To me, I see the future as be-ing a big threat to our society, and causing many horrible things to happen. Even if we stopped pol-

luting and wars and things like that I think people would try to find other threats to use on peo-ple,” Cindy Cuevas (12) said. Threats and many other things could cause the future great power but also could be worse for the people who abuse these rights and abilities. “I would like to think that they could possibly figure out like some of the cures for cancer and horrible illnesses that would kill a lot of people today but also I could see there being more of a healthier ecosystem. Oh and fly-ing cars too,” Cuevas said. Many different changes are happening every day, like bat-tery and electric cars, biodegrad-able everything and much more. “It seems like life won’t be taken for granted as much as it is now days, people will have less reasons to want to not be here and more reasons to do what-ever they want and have better and more intellectual things to be happy about,” she said. But also you could just so hap-pen to find out that looking into the future too much might be not the greatest thing ever. “I think if you don’t focus on the now,

that you might not actually have the future that you want for your-self or your life could just turn the way you didn’t want it to turn,” Cuevas said.

A new season

Anthony Manzanares is all smiles as he shows off his baseball hoodie.

By Vanessa Quiles“I’M TRYING out for baseball,” said Jose Macias (10). “I really like baseball and I want to see if I make it on the team this year. I would like to play on shortstop position because I’ve been train-ing for it.” Macias has been practicing with his brother 3 hours each day so that he could be ready for the tryouts that are happening this month. He doesn’t know if he is going to make it, but he is hopeful and he will try his hardest. “If I don’t make it, I’ll be dis-appointed, but that doesn’t mean I will quit playing. [Baseball is] a sport I really enjoy. I’ve been playing since 7th grade,” he said. Macias gets most of his motiva-tion from his family’s encourag-ing words. “All the seniors are gone, which is sad because my brother has gone with them and I miss him,” said first and third baseman Bron-son Phillips (11). His brother is the one who got him interested in playing. “I’ve been playing for eight years in the Little League before I started playing in high school,” he said Phillips enjoys practice and hav-ing fun with his teammates. “This year should be successful. We have a good group of guys, we also have been seeing a lot of good players,” he said. For Anthony Manzanares (10), this year is better and more fun. He is enjoying the season. “This season’s good. I believe we are improving on our hitting

and fielding, as well as our overall playing,” said Manzanares. His motivation is his teammates, who push him hard so he can reach his potential. Manzanares is second baseman and pitcher. Manzanares started playing baseball because he thought it would be a fun sport. He enjoys playing with all his friends and his older brother, who is also on the team. “Often we get hit with the base-balls at practice, but I like prac-tice both morning and afternoon. Morning because I’m awake and I have energy, and afternoon because I have nothing else to do during the afternoon,” Man-zanares said. When the season starts, the players are going to have practice from after school until late after-noon. “I’m looking forward to the trip to Mesquite, Nevada, where our first game will be. The trip will be a fun bonding experience,” he said, then added with a laugh, “What happens on the bus stays on the bus.” Manzanares is ex-cited for his family to come out to the games and watch him play. “I liked last year’s group of guys. They had good talent. This year we are working together as a team,” Gabe Arredondo (11) said. Arredondo has enjoyed playing since he was a little boy. He plays shortstop, third base, pitcher and catcher. All our boys in baseball enjoy playing with the school sport. They have great skill in focusing on the game.

Day stumbles, but carries onBy Hunter KaioJOEY DAY (12) lives the typi-cal life of a teenage boy. School, work, and home. He has good grades, belongs to a family, and has a steady job at a golf course. He always seems to be in a happy mood, and is known for being a class clown throughout the school. Sounds like a fine life, right? Not in Day’s eyes. Earlier this year, his path took some unexpected turns, and for the first time Joey got suspended. Growing up, he lived a life of high expectations. Whether it was in sports, school, or anything else, he always went the extra mile to keep a smile on his family’s face and please his parents. They were with him every single step of the way, stride for stride. On the morning of the inci-dent, everything seemed perfect. Day woke up to a well-prepared breakfast, had the perfect out-fit in mind, and even had a nice conversation with his mom at the kitchen table. Having no thought that suspen-sion was soon approaching, Joey raced for the door in the happiest mood he’d been in a while. “I even stopped by for some cof-fee, and I don’t do that very of-ten,” Day said. Things were going swell until he arrived at school. Joey heard the announcement over the inter-com: he was to report to the of-fice immediately. He didn’t know what the problem was, so he went to the office. He was led into a small room in the back, where there were several other students. Eventually, the issue, which Day wishes to keep private, was

resolved and all the students were suspended. Filled with fear, Joey knew what was about to happen: his parents would be notified. “Scariest moment of my life,” said Day. When his parents got the phone call saying their son had been suspended, they were devastated. It was a total surprise to the both of them, but the person most affected was his mom. “Knowing that I let [my mom] down breaks my heart. The feel-ing of disgust and disappoint-

ment as a son is indescribable,” he said. Since then Joey has gotten back on track and is slowly gaining his trust back with his parents. Things are beginning to feel normal again between the family members, but the atmosphere is still tense. “This last half of the school year, I’m going to make them proud again” said confident and determined Day. He has his aca-demic sights aimed high for the rest of the year.

Joey Day is going to do whatever it takes to make his parents proud of him.

“I think if you don’t focus on the now, you

might not actu-ally have the

future that you want for your-self or your life could just turn the way you

didn’t want it to turn.”

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

By Chauntel Lee DO YOU know what not to say during a text? I can tell you a couple of them. Let’s start out with why you shouldn’t say some things over text. When you say things over text that you wouldn’t normally say in person, it could be awkward for you and them. “Don’t text someone, “Let’s work things out,” Ataeya Ramos (10) said. “Especially if it’s your ex-boyfriend or someone else you need to work things out with.” When you’re texting, you may accidentally say the wrong thing and start an argument or fight. “Never break up with someone over a text; it could end badly,” Chelsey Mamea (11) said. We all know that is something you really shouldn’t do during a text. Also don’t confront anyone during a text, it would be better for you and the other person to just talk about it in person. Plus, it would take you forever to text something like that to someone. Now, let’s talk about what peo-ple hate when you’re talking to someone during a text. “I hate

it when someone takes forever to write back in a text,” Sandra Carrillo (12) said. I know a lot of people hate that, as well. Some other things people might hate are when they send “Hey, I have something to tell you,” then when they ask what they reply, “Oh, never mind,” or when some-one keeps texting you over and over, even when you don’t reply the first time. Then there’s say-ing “I love you.” Especially if it’s your first time saying it, try not to do it over text. That is something that is meant to be said in person, not over a text. There are some basic things that are just fine being sent over text such as: “Hi, how are you?” “How’s life?” “What’s for din-ner?” or “Want to hang out?” These things aren’t strict rules to texting, and you can decide for yourself what is okay, and what is not okay, to say over a text. You just have to be willing to live with the consequences of what you say and whether or not it gets misin-terpreted.

One man showBy Brenda Nguy ALMOST every day after school down by the Lancer you will hear singing and music being played, and sometimes if you’re lucky, you’ll catch some back flips be-ing done. Steve Magallanes (11) has been a one man wonder since he was in Junior High. When he was in the 8th grade he started to sing and play guitar. “I started singing and playing guitar simply because it attracts the ladies,” Magallanes said. “He sure knows how to play the guitar like Gene Simmons. He’s way cool,” Kenny Son (11) said. He prefers writing his own music more than learning music from others. The first song he wrote was to his eighth grade girlfriend. “He reminds me of Enrique Igle-sias when he is singing and play-ing guitar,” Bianca Gomez (11) said. That’s not all he does, he also likes to do gymnastics moves for fun, such as flips. Watching countless videos and movies of people doing stunts since he was in 7th grade inspired him to start aerial tricks. He wants to try out for the talent show to show off his amazing flips. He is actually thinking about joining the cheerleading team next year. He wants to make Granger’s cheerleaders better than they were before. He can already do back flips, front flips, and even flips off the wall. He is still learning new vaults and stunts, so don’t fret. Next year he’ll be back even bet-ter and with more. “When Steve does his flips, it kind of scares me at first because

I’m scared he might fall on his face, but in the end he always lands them,” Samantha Lopez (11) said. When he has free time or just wants to practice, you will find him sitting against the wall either singing and playing guitar or doing crazy flips to entertain

people. He enjoys his talents, so don’t expect him to stop. He is capable of doing all of these and still does well in school. That goes to show you that if you are devoted into doing what you truly love, nothing is going to stop you.

Steve Magallanes admits that he started doing all of this for the ladies.

By Andrea Lomeli TEXTING, tweeting, instant mes-saging, and emailing are just a few ways we use to stay in touch and to communicate with people. It’s amazing how technology (such as cellphones and other electronic devices) has changed drastically with us and our new generation. Thanks to our cellphones and other devices, we’re able to be alone without actually being “alone.” Now that we have social net-working sites, we’re able to com-municate with the world, staying in touch with family and friends who live far from us. We don’t have to miss a single event that’s happening in their lives ever again .We can be there for them, even though we’re not actually there. Some might say that we’ve been abusing this power just to satisfy our social needs, or that we’ve just created this horrible habit with our mobile and elec-tronic devices. It’s like we’ve changed the meaning of the word conversa-tion. We’ve seem to be more comfortable in talking to people through text then in person. Should it even count as real conversation? Here’s what some of our Grangers Lancer thoughts

about it. “I don’t think texting someone is the same as talking to them in person. Because when you talk to someone in person it’s more personal like you can get to hug them, and with texting its different like how can you send someone a hug” said Daisy Singh (10). “In person you can actually express yourself and your feel-ings.” “I think with texting, it’s made people be less personal about things, like they can just say things that they don’t really mean, and sometimes they don’t even understand what they’re saying. They don’t think about what they’re saying, and that can af-fect other people. It’s easy to say some really hurtful things and not even realize you’re hurting the other person.” Singh here isn’t the only person who prefers talking to someone in person. “I prefer to talk to someone in person for the fact being, when text them you don’t get no reac-tion from the person like you don’t understand them. For ex-ample, like when they’re mad, you can’t tell and it’s hard to take them serious if you are,” John Lasso (12) said. “I prefer to talk to someone by person because by text you just

use words and nothing else, but when you talk to someone in per-son you get to see their reaction to what you say to them and that weird stuff,”Maribel Avila (10) said. “I think there’s nothing wrong with texting, as long as you don’t go overboard, like when you’re driving in the road or freeway.” You shouldn’t even be texting and driving in the first place it’s against the law. Well, as you can see, some Granger High students think that there’s no personal meaning when talking to someone by text. It’s better to be more personal and out spoken in person than through text or any other away with using technology. I mean, would you rather have your significant other telling you “I love you,” in text or in person? When does it mean more to say those three words? All in all, what Lancers have decided is that it’s okay to text people, as long as you don’t use texting to replace physical con-versations, or to say things you wouldn’t usually, unless they’re your friends or family members that live really far in which case the situation is understandable. If they live so close and mean a lot to you then why not show them that in person.

Social life through textAtaeya Ramous knows when it’s okay to text, and when you should just talk.

Collections of collectorsBy Tariah HathaleBEING a collector can be a big part of a person’s life. Here at Granger, there can be a numerous amount of kids that collect. When you’re a collector, your items can definitely mean a lot to you. These kinds of addictions can go on for as long as the person will let them. “I collect band t-shirts,” Selene Gomez (12) said. She loves col-lecting them to show her love for music and also the bands she likes. Clothing isn’t the only thing to collect, there are also big time movie fans. “I’ve been a fan of Star Wars since I was little,” Patrick Pirillo (12) said. Pirillo keeps over fifty Star Wars collect-ibles in his room. There is also a Lancer who was addicted to collecting Monster Energy drink cans. “I liked the colors of them. My favorite one was the blue one,” Kayla Stein-mann (11) said. She stopped col-lecting after a couple of months because of her mother’s disap-proval and the collection was tak-ing over her shelf space. This next junior enjoys collect-ing FIFA games. Daniel Anguia-no (11) has been collecting FIFA games for eleven years. “There is no favorite, but if I had to choose, I guess my favorite would have to be my first on, back in 2002,” he said. He definitely plans on col-lecting more as they come. “It’s a great game,” he said. “I love them, I do like video games, but it means a lot to me. It’s a soccer game and that’s why I like it,” he said. He likes to keep his games in a little box. There’s always a favorite some-thing out there for everyone. Out of the entire band t-shirts Gomez has collected, she does have a few ones she treasured. “I can’t choose a favorite, but I do wear my Slipknot and one of my Pierce

the Veil shirts a lot,” she said. Pirillo, who started collecting in seventh grade, has a favorite. “My favorite is Darth Bane. He’s in a couple of books but not in the movies,” he said. Another junior is a big collector of safety pins. “They’re just shiny, they give me a sense of safety,” Shay Devenish (11) said. She keeps her pins in a little lock box of hers. Since sixth grade she has adored getting pins as a hobby. Devenish also collects sea shells. Whenever she takes a trip to California, she like to get them.

Lastly, she collects stickers. Devenish gets most of her stick-ers from the machines inside of stores. She has been collecting stickers for seven years. She holds those precious items in a card-board box. Her favorite sticker is a purple dragon because it’s one her dad got for her. “I like see-ing the different kinds of stickers there are. Ones I usually get can’t be found anywhere else,” she said. She started collecting stick-ers in the fourth grade. Her collection would be intact if her sister hadn’t taken some of her stickers.

Lancers living with-out technology

By Victor MartinezWITH ALL the new technology coming out such as iPads, tablets, and laptops, everyone is trying to keep up with it all. Some Lanc-ers don’t have anything, though. That’s right: no cell phones, laptops, or MP3 players at all. It seems so rare to have no elec-tronics, but these Lancers find a way to make it without them. It can get difficult, because today’s world revolves around technol-ogy. All you see around Granger is students on their phones, iPods, and even tablets. “It sucks not having technolo-gy,” Stephanie Cortez (10) said. When teachers give homework out and she needs the Internet, she uses the school computer to do it all. When Cortez wants to go on-line to check Facebook, she goes to the West Valley library to use the computers. If she could have one electronic device, Cortez said she would like an Android. Most Lancers want to keep up with all the new material, get work done, and check grades and social pages such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Some Lancers let their friends use their phones or iPods to browse the Internet be-cause they have no other way. “It’s very boring,” says Ana Desales (10). Desales uses the school computers in the library and career center to do home-work that requires Internet ac-cess. Sometimes she will borrow a friend’s iPod or phone to check her Facebook page. To check her

grades, Desales uses the school library computers. Some Lancers are happy without technology and use it to their ad-vantage because without it there are fewer distractions in the class which allows them to focus more on their school work. Without technology in their hands, Lancers seem to have a way to pay attention because they have no ear buds in their ears or fresh texts to read -- without tech-based distractions, they pay atten-tion to the curriculum. “I can listen to the teacher bet-ter,” Noah Latu (12) said. He is happy without any electronic device. Latu says if he gets an assignment that needs internet, he just uses the library or career center to do it. He’s also not big on social networking. If he wants to listen to music, he just borrows a friends iPod or MP3. Latu says his grades are good without the distraction in his class but if he had to choose one electronic de-vice he would choose the newest Galaxy. Latu is one of the few kids here at Granger who is happy with-out any electronics. If a Lancer wants to use some technology, he can check out a Kindle from the school library to use if he doesn’t want to borrow a friend’s device. Not every Lancer needs elec-tronic devices but they do have a way of getting around. From ask-ing friends or using school Lanc-ers get internet access one way or another.Kayla Steinmann’s favorite Monster Energy drink can to collect is the blue one.

Being bored at Granger <<<By Jessica RubioWHEN LANCERS get bored, they tend to think of very unusual ways to get entertained. When you’re in class, you can find your-self getting bored. Here are some things other Lancers do when they get bored. “When I get bored I tend to scratch off my nail polish,” Jen-nifer Ochoa (11) said. You can also find her daydreaming, sleep-ing, playing with her feet, or sim-ply just playing with her pencil. “I would rather go on Twitter, play soccer, and just look at soc-cer stuff,” Vilma Garcia (10) said. “It entertains me more and I would rather do this than do chores or cleaning.” A lot of times, when we get bored at home, we do things that aren’t exactly ideal for our health. Some of these things include, but aren’t limited to, eating junk food, watching TV, browsing the Inter-net, or playing video games. “I like to play video games on my phone when I’m home bored,” Estefhany Cifuentes (10) said. Some of the games she likes to play are Temple Run and Subway

Surfer, and she also gets on Twit-ter. “Playing video games makes me feel like I’m not bored,” Cifu-entes said.

So is being bored a thought you make up or an actual feeling? When we get bored we will do anything to feel the slighest bit

of entertainment, even if it’s just stare at a blank spot on a wall. When you think about it, be-ing bored is just a state of mind.

When you start thinking that you’re bored, you will be bored. A lot of times, we cause our own boredum. We can try to entertain ourselves when we’re bored. One thing that Cifuentes does that doesn’t in-volve eletronics or video games, is she likes to think ‘What if,” and come up with different scenarios , that will probably never happen, inside her head. It’s okay to be bored some-times, and to even stare at walls and zone- out, but we should be trying to pay attention when we need to. We should try not to let get-ting bored in class interfere with getting our work done, or let it bring down our grades. Even if the school work you’re doing is boring, you need to be able to just focus and do it. This may seem hard at first, but if we all practice at it, it will get easier. If we try hard enough, we can just find something interesting about everything we’re doing, and we won’t have to be bored at all anymore.Some Lancers, such as Velma Garcia, like to pull out their phones and text people or just surf the web when bored.

While most Lancers are building up their collection of electronics, there are still a few who don’t have any.
