Eyes can really say a lot about a person. In my “One Day” series I focus on the eyes to show the lies this girl is holding deep inside- something out of this world. These images are documenting her life as she mimics the things that any other normal person does. She covers her face in makeup just like a normal teenager, but it’s for completely different reasons…

IN THE CLOUDS – Dylan Smith
To have your “Head in the Clouds” is to take reality apart, and then put it back together in whichever way you want…basically, turning it into a dream. I realized that a dream wasn’t something that could just simply be photographed. Instead, I needed to find a way to blur the line between reality and imaginations. I want the audience to get lost in each photo, to feel as if they are there, suspended, holding their breath as time slows down around them; to allow themselves to take a moment and put their own head in the clouds.

THE COUVE
Jack Burkman, Vancouver City Council member, has presented us with the opporturtunity to showcase high school digital photography students’ work at the new Vancouver City Hall. The purpose is to capture individual students’ positive and creative vision on the theme of “My Vancouver.”
The intent is to create an installation of Evergreen students’ work in the foyer of the new city hall, tentatively from June 1 through the summer. The opening day and reception coincide with the June First Friday arts event. Individual student works may be chosen for permanent exhibition in public spaces, published in Vancouver tourism materials, and/or receive public recognition by city officials.
HHS STEPPED UP! Here are some images from Emmert’s classes:

The girls softball team was battling the whole season trying to beat everyone. They are currently tied in 3rd place and the top three teams go to Regionals.
This comes down to the last game of the season. The softball team really wants to go back to state this year. The top eight of the sixteen teams go to state from Regionals.
Girls Tennis

The tennis team has been off to a great start with the new season. They had a rough time getting practices in because of the rainy weather, but now that the sun has finally come out, they’ve picked up right where they left off.
The team has done a very good job being flexible with their schedules since the sport depends on the good weather. If the courts are wet, the team can’t play. They don’t have very many options if it rains because the school doesn’t have any indoor courts.
Despite these misfortunes, the head coach Mr. Bieker is really looking forward to the district tournament which is the first week of May. “It’s going to be exciting!” says Bieker. The varsity girls will be playing against several teams at the tournament.
For now the team has upcoming matches against Battle Ground and Evergreen. It’s said to be close so be sure to go and cheer on your tennis girls!
If you’re considering trying out for the team next year, Bieker strongly suggests you play as much tennis as you can between now and next year’s season. Also, “show up when tennis starts next year.”
As far as next year, Bieker has one hope… “drought.”
Confidence week outcomes

The week of March 26th – March 30th, hundreds of students woke up and made the hard choice, not to put on makeup or use any hair products, they got involved Heritage’s first ever, Confidence week.
During this week, students and teachers were asked not to wear any makeup or use any hair products so they could show off their true beauty, and show their confidence. Ms. Rice and Lindsey Maedl, the student that came up with the idea and first suggested it to Ms. Rice, both agreed that confidence week was a success.
In room 601, students that participated were given the opportunity to get their pictures taken. A total of 102 students arrived and were photographed, as shown above. Seeing everyone without all the makeup and hair products was a good change, “I think everyone looked better without make-up, and girls should have more confidence to not wear so much all the time,” says sophomore Jacob Scott.
Besides not wearing makeup or hair products, some teachers took their classes down to the auditorium to see the assembly put together by Ms. Rice and her classes. A clip of the movie Miss Representation was shown and students from Ms. Rice’s classes spoke about their personal experiences and troubles they have had with confidence. “Hearing peoples stories made me realize how much not having confidence can affect someone,” says freshman Kierstyn Obermiller.
Many look forward to doing it again next year, and we hope to see more students and teachers involved that didn’t participate this year.

Hunger games: Book vs. Movie
By: Tyler Moulton

When it comes down to a popular book series and making them into movies, both are good, but only one of them is the best. The book tends to go more into detail and emotion that the movie sometimes leaves out. However, the movie turns the images while reading the book into thrilling action. Either way, both leave a viewable image in the back of people’s heads.
For some readers, it’s hard to visualize a picture, while the movie shows the picture for them. Although the movie doesn’t get everything from the book into it, it still gets a vast majority of the details and action. “I like the movie because it came pretty close to all of the details in the book,” says Bevin Madden. The movie is better because people that don’t know how to read in English and want to see the movie, they can change the language when it comes out on DVD. A book could take quite a few days or months to finish because not everybody likes to read, while the movie only lasts a couple of hours.
Although the movie shows the action, the book shows the true emotion. “The book is definitely better because it goes more into detail,” says Nicole Moss. For a movie you would have to wait for a year or more for the next movie of a series while it takes a year or less for the next book to come out. A movie could cost quite a lot of money just to see in theaters while a book would be free at the library.
It depends on what kind of person you are to decide which one is better, however, both the movie and book have their ups and downs but are good in their own way.
