Hi! I'm Kylee! This is my first year writing for Crier and I am absolutely thrilled that I get to be apart of the construction of the monthly newspaper! My favorite food is garlic roasted tomatoes and I recommend putting them on everything you possibly could.

SERVING At their second practice, the team warms up with a drill to get to know each other’s names. During the drill, Richie Andrzejewski, junior, prepares to pass the ball back to his partner. “I’m looking forward to this season because it is our school’s first year having a team and I hope we can win as many games as possible and win Sectionals for our first year,” Andrzejewski said.

STAND FIRM Practicing after school, junior Carlos Wilson and sophomore Jeremy Kaim work on wrestling movements together. After stretching, the players warm up in pairs to get ready for their practice matches. “It’s both our first year in wrestling, so we’re trying to take it hard,” Wilson said. “Like, whenever I go with my partners I try to really drill as hard as I can, getting the technique down. It’s been really fun to progress and learn more moves, and eventually when I started winning matches is when it feels really good to just see that progress.”

Senior Madalyn Martin first discovered her passion for fashion with simple childhood toys like paper dress-up dolls and mini sewing kits gifted to her by family members. “My grandma bought me this little mannequin for doll clothes when I was in first grade where you could make their outfits,” she said. “I loved it so much.” A hobby held dear to her heart, Madalyn expressed that she’ll continue to pave her own way in the world of style, leading her to become a costume designer for the Munster Theatre Company. CLOSET COSTUMES With a few simple stitches and a lot of imagination, any costume can come to life. Madalyn suggests one of the easiest “closet costumes,” or pull-out pieces you could afford to find as simple as your dresser or crafts-bin, to be a dog. “Any kind of animal is pretty easy,” she said. “You just have to buy or make animal ears. I was Snoopy and I just cut two pieces of fabric out for the ears and drew the little nose in.”

SET THE SCENE Marija Pavlic and Wesley Harle, sophomores, and Josh Decker, Clover Sarkady, Delaney Craig, seniors, stand on stage to rehearse for “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” This play takes place in the 1940s. “Despite the time it was written, the 1500s, we’ve been balancing the date by setting it in the 1940s.” Wesley said.
