“I’ve always been interested in writing my own music and I’ve even started producing, but with music composition, there seems to be a big learning curve,” Annie said. “I feel that a lot of people share a love for music and that definitely inspired me.”

One of her favorite hobbies, Joyce Yao, junior and club president, started Crochet Club with Mrs. Kelly Hladek, media specialist, as the club sponsor,.They hope to teach members the basics of crocheting and create items such as hats, scarves, gloves and baby blankets to donate to charity. Their next meeting is today after school in the media center.

THE MORE THE MERRIER The Munster Choir sang their Winter Dreams performance at the St. Thomas More Catholic Church on Dec. 8. Having showcased their talents at St. Thomas More Catholic Church with guest instrumentalists from the Northwest Indiana Symphony, the Chorale looks forward to bringing the holiday cheer to the Munster stage on Dec. 16. “It’s such a great feeling to go caroling during the season. When you watch Christmas movies that have a choir’s caroling, you know how it feels. It’s a really magical experience,” junior Jovi Savaglio said.

“WAVE THERAPY” Displayed at Indiana University Northwest in Gary, art teacher Elena Lopez’s “Wave Therapy” is displayed. Her piece was created with acrylic on canvas and linen. “We had a lot of discussion about whether or not the pieces should be sewn together or attached to something so that they could just be put back up much easier. I didn’t want that, because in my mind, I thought, if this ever gets a chance to be seen anywhere else, I might not have this size. I might have to pull certain pieces for that particular space,” she said.

CRACKING THE CODE Looking at a computer, junior Tatyana Glowa and freshmen Julissa Gil and John Bellahcen go through practice images in business teacher Ryan Popa’s room. The three students are apart of one of the three Cyberpatriot teams, Echo. “I started knowing practically nothing and quickly learned how everything works,” Bellahcen said. “I really love competition days where you and your team get 95% percent of the image complete and then have to lock in and as a team work through problems together.”
