10 Calling all artists, singers, actors, dancers, and musicians! The wait is over! The new arts wing is finally open, and students couldn’t be happier. The new mammoth wing includes enormous new rooms for drama, band, dance, and art, as well as other extremely needed accessories such as spacious dressing rooms and a costume room housing many costumes for dance, band, and drama. Now that the students have been able to explore the new enhancement the question is: What is the best part of this new addition? It depends on who you ask. Sophomore dance company member Leslie Trammell says, “I really enjoy having expanded dressing rooms.” This seems to be a favorite among many dancers and actors who once had to crowd in the petite bathrooms to get dressed for performances. “All the mirrors are awesome and there is also a Golden Lines student activities January 28, 2005 New arts wing opened MATT LUMMUS Staff Writer After the thirtysix point beat down that the Southern California Trojans put on the Oklahoma Sooners in the National Championship, Trojan fans rejoiced. After last year’s season where the Trojans didn’t get to play for the title, even though Oklahoma lost their conference championship game. Well, this year the Trojans got their title ring, and there is no one happier in the school than Coach Cook. Growing up in Southern Cal, Coach Cook was a big Trojan fan. He had family who had went there, and some friends who soon would go there. Now that they are National champs he is extremely happy. Coach Cook states, “I was very pleased with the way that the season ended up, even though my [Georgia] Bulldogs were a disappointment.” Coach Cook has many friends and relatives who have gone to USC, including his god parents, and a few of his cousins. “This lot of space [in the new drama room] to work with,” says freshman Pius Player Amanda McKenley. Sophomore choir member Isabel Reynolds loves singing in the new band room because, “It is so big and sounds great with the new sound absorbers.” The fine arts teachers are also enjoying their new classrooms. For the first time in the history of Pius Players drama teacher Ms. Spark was speechless when I asked her what she thought of the new expansion. The only word she could manage to utter after a few seconds of contemplation was, “Spectacular.” Spectacular is the ideal word to explain this magnificent expansion that will benefit everyone involved in the arts for generations to come. The new arts wing extends almost to the street at the front of the school. The students are still getting used to seeing the large building at the front of the school. Coach Cook loves Trojan title JARROD DELOACH Staff Writer national title validates last year’s season, where they lost early in the season to a good California team.” Coach Cook said. He believes that this title is good for USC, because it proves that there are other people outside of California who like USC. Coach Cook tells me that “I love the national championship for USC. It gives them some resignation for there accomplishments.” After Southern Cal won the title, Matt Leinart who is a junior, is thinking about going in the 2005 NFL draft. Coach Cook wants him to come back to USC for his senior year. If Leinart would come back for his senior season with the Trojans, he would be accompanied with explosive junior running back Reggie Bush, and big play receiver Dwayne Jarrett. Coach Cook really wants Leinart to come back to USC, because they will have a better team with the [Leinart] Heisman trophy winner. Coach Cook is not only proud of his Trojans, he is proud of there fans for standing by there team. “True Trojan fans always stand by there team” Cook said. He went on to say, “They made the entire Southern California nation proud to were In the end Coach Cook loves his Southern California Trojans as the National Champions. Even though he wanted his Georgia Bulldogs to be in the place that the Trojans are in right now he will take the Trojan title. Coach Phil Cook.
Golden Lines student activities January 28, 2005 11 West Side Story on the way CHRISTOPHER MILICH Staff Writer Work continues on our spring musical this semester West Side Story. Even though the actual play isn’t until April, the Fine Arts department is busy at work getting ready for this production. West Side Story is a more modern-day Romeo and Juliet type story in which Tony (Romeo) and Maria (Juliet) are in love, but torn between the two gangs that they are associated with. The two gangs in this play, the Sharks and the Jets, fight over their territory, the Jets wanting to keep out the Puerto Rican Sharks and the Sharks wanting to oust the Jets from New York. The famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet is depicted behind a ratty apartment in New York City on a creaky metal fire escape. The play starts with a major fight between the rival gangs or “rumble”. An Academy-Award winning movie was also made on this play and debuted in 1961. The part of Tony in West Side Story will be played by Christian Rodriguez and Maria will be played by Katherine Petti. Lending their hand of assistance in this production is the St. Pius X Band which will play the part of orchestra in this production. “The pit orchestra will add liveliness and energy to the play,” says Sophomore Paul McDowell. Numerous musical pieces will be chosen to accompany the dancing and singing that will take place on stage. With the drama department’s new classroom and improved changing and storage space in the new Arts wing, this play is sure to be a hit with all who see it. The play debuts on April 12 th at 7:00 p.m. Support our school and our talented actors and see this play. Above: The call board proudly displays this West Side Story poster.
