"It was really fun to get together with my friends and peers to play such an intense game together! I worked together with some of my closest friends and I couldn’t have won the game without them. To secure my win I just made sure to stay safe, make sure my opponents could never kill me, and then attack my opponents when they were least expecting it. I caught both of my final kills off guard and if I didn't do that I wouldn’t have won the game.” -Mckay Neyman 2024 Senior Assassin Champion

Lalo is Eric Wolf’s cat! She’s like a year and a half old and she hates everyone except Eric which is really funny. It’s one of those “dad who didn’t want the pet” situations because at first he didn’t want her because it seemed like she was replacing his other cat, Cleopatra, but then she got really comfortable with him on the first day. At night, she waits for me outside the bathroom until I go to bed. Lalo brings in leaves and moss rather than like mice and other normal things that cats bring in.

Hokulia Shave Ice is Chloe Hansen's new job! She’s super excited! She starts at the end of April and it'll be a summer job for her. She’ll mainly make snow cones, wiping up syrups, and keeping the place clean.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the class of 2024 Senior Assassin has finally come to an end. The game turned best friends against each other, broke trust from all angles, and no senior felt safe outside. The game lasted about 4 rounds and started with roughly 75-80 players. Each week a senior was assigned a new target. The goal is to shoot your target with a Nerf gun by the end of each week on video. A player would be eliminated if they were shot, or didn’t successfully kill their target by the end of the week. Of course, there were some ground rules. You couldn’t break into houses, no kills on school grounds from 7 am-3 pm, and work/religious activities were off limits. If you wore a pool floaty, it acted as immunity. However, some days were considered purge days which meant the floaty could not protect you. Most people loved the games and enjoyed the adrenaline rush of chasing their peers through a parking lot. Ayden Graham said, “Definitely the most hyped event that I participated in in High School. It was so much fun and I would do it again.”

A handful of seniors think otherwise, some believe that the rules were changed too much, while others think the rules weren’t changed enough. Isabelle Kim believes that the Water Games, which took place at the beginning of the school year, ruined Senior Assassin. “Usually the hype for Senior Assassin is huge and people enjoy it, but the Water Games scam ruined the fun,” she said. Trust was a key component throughout the game. Clara Evans, McKay Neyman, and Jack Pugh had an unbreakable bond. Their alliance allowed them to figure out everyone's target each round, and together they all survived to the last round. Others trusted no one, Amanda Coker killed her Prom date, Landon Fleming. Jack Pugh killed one of his friends, James Lillian, on their camping trip after lying about his target. Eventually, it was a head-on between the remaining two, it was a very close call, but the lucky winner was… Mckay Neyman! After four rounds, as well as a practice round, Mckay was able to secure the win by defeating his last opponent, Nash Rees. Mckay also had the most kills with a total of 9. He was the one to fear, if you were his target, you wouldn’t make it through half of the week. Congrats to him, and good work to all those who participated. Good Luck next year class of 2025!

Spring Break
Here we are again, back at school. I know I’m not the only one who didn’t want to come back this week, wishing for just a few days more freedom. But alas, we are back at it. A lot of us go to different places for breaks, most students go to Disneyland. Don’t deny it, you know who you are. And I thought it would be fun to see where everyone went and what they did! Now I normally don’t do anything for spring break, but this year I went to Capitol Reef National Park! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed going there. The little town that we stayed in, Torrey, was so cute! “I went to Hawaii, it was really fun! We went on a whale tour and went snorkeling!” Freshman Cadence Blackburn was the first victim of my questions. And I was jealous when she was telling me about this trip. Nora Walker was a little hesitant to tell me what she did, just because she didn’t want to seem like she was bragging and felt awkward. She did eventually tell me, and it sounded so fun! “I just went to Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower. And went to Paris Disney, and also went to England and saw Big Ben.” Just like me, my friend Eric Wolf went to a national park, actually a lot of them. "I went on a week-long road trip to four national parks and ended up in Texas to see the eclipse. The first one was Arches, the next one was Mesa Verda and that was beautiful and awesome. The park Whitesands where we sledded on the sand. We then went to Carl’s Bat Caverns and it’s a huge cave that you hike down for miles and I got a stuffed animal bat!” There was a lot, and I mean a lot more when I asked him what he did for spring break, so I needed to shorten it for the sake of this article. But I listened to everything and it made me wish I had gone with him! The last two people I asked were Heidi Ann and Elsie Osborn, both my friends here!
“I had a fever and while I had a fever, I watched the Notebook for the first time. And I cried so hard. AND Ryan Gosling as a teenager is so bad.”-Heidi Ann
I remember watching this for the first time not too long ago, and I agree with Heidi one hundred percent. “It was my best friend’s birthday so I made her a cute present and then I went to her birthday party and did karaoke!” That sounds like a lovely spring break for so many of us! Welcome back Chargers and hang in there till summer!

CCHS parking lot
BY SHANNON BOND STUDENT LIFE INSIDE EDITOR
The most horrifying, dangerous, unpredictable, messy, disastrous, place on CCHS property. The Corner Canyon Parking lot. The chances of you finding parking are low and the chances of your car being hit are high. And of course, you can’t forget the cranky parents dropping their kids off and driving slower than flowing molasses in the middle of the lane so no one can pass through. Oh and don’t forget about the arrangement of brand-new and unnecessarily expensive cars that are casually and carelessly being driven by dumb 16-year-olds. Many of them are on their way to getting their license revoked. It wouldn’t be Corner Canyon without “daddy’s money” would it? “I get my steps in for the day trying to find my car and walking back from the driver’s ed range.” Said beautifully by junior Claire Harned. A big issue with our parking lot is sophomores. They take away all parking spaces from Juniors and Seniors, leaving us to park out in Narnia as aforementioned by Claire. Junior Callista Sirrine however, has a solution.
“I think sophomores should have to park in the driver's ed parking lot.”- Callista Sirrine
I don’t know anyone who would disagree, except probably sophomores, except they would learn to appreciate it later on. We should follow the lead of Riverton, who doesn’t even provide their sophomores with a parking pass. Crazy but incredible, I know. For some reason, teenagers feel the need for speed. Within that parking lot I’ve seen speeds of up to 60 mph, granted the parking lot was empty, but still. People love to go so fast that they don’t even have the time to react to other cars. That parking lot is something. Skyler Smith sums it up, “The parking lot is hell, people don’t know how to drive, especially sophomores. Ugh and someone scuffed my car.” The teachers are lucky they come before students and leave after. They are much safer that way. All that being said, we students at Corner Canyon should be grateful for our crazy parking lot. The school has done a pretty good job of allotting enough space for our ginormous study body. It is mainly ourselves to blame for its problems. And of course, the sophomores. (Sorry, not sorry)
