This past Saturday, CdM’s World Love Organization (WLO) club hosted a bake sale at the Bonita Canyon Sports Park. They were looking to sell to hungry baseball goers and players.

It is the 21st century, and technology has taken an incredible leap forward. With the development of computers, phones, and the Internet, it seems as if the world has already thrown away its typewriters and rotary telephones.

Over the past couple weeks, students in Peter Selby’s Physics class were constructing a catapult-like object – the trebuchet. In groups of three, students concocted a plan to maximize the trebuchet’s performance such as having a sturdy base, so the whole thing doesn’t fall over during the launch. Also, they had to measure and puncture holes appropriately into the throwing arm to get the farthest throw. On one end of the arm are heavy washers that act as counterweights to make the smaller washer on the other end fly high and far. In order to get the full mark, students must have the small washer hit 20 ft with four counterweight washers. This was no problem as many trebuchets could throw as much as 10 ft more than that with four washers.

On Wednesday, December 2nd, the CdM cross country team concluded their season with a banquet at Oasis Senior Center. After everyone was served their dinner, head coach Bill Sumner acknowledged everyone who has helped the team achieve a terrific season, from the coaches to friends and family. Each of the coaches called up the teams they coached to go the front of the room and receive their certificate of participation and a paperweight. The coaches delivered tributes to the athletes and gave special awards such as “Most Valuable Player” to standouts. For varsity girls, junior Raquel Powers received the MVP award for her commitment.

After all the teams were presented their awards, the seniors gave their hilarious yet inspiring speeches to end the night. Great job Cross Country on a terrific season!
