entered papers at the Northwest Undergraduate Conference<br />

at University of Portland. Not many high school students<br />

will ever get the chance to receive this honor. Reilly<br />

submitted a paper called “Driven Stereotypes: The Need<br />

to Break Away from Accepted Preconceptions as Seen in<br />

David Sedaris’s ‘Naked,’” which was reviewed by professors<br />

at University of Portland. He then gave a speech about his<br />

work to the professors.<br />

“I submitted and presented these papers mostly<br />

because I really like literature and literary discussion” said<br />

Reilly. “The conference gave me an amazing opportunity to<br />

experience college-level discussion about a wide variety of<br />

literary works and theories.”<br />

<strong>Jesuit</strong> students have an innate desire to succeed.<br />

Although some may judge <strong>Jesuit</strong> by success in sports,<br />

academic accomplishments seem to take an even higher<br />

priority.<br />

Scouts Don’t Just Sell Cookies<br />

BY THOmAS HeminGer ‘11<br />

Being a Boy Scout carries connotations of tent building<br />

and fire starting. However, few people know that there is<br />

much more to those patches on their vests. Many children<br />

join Boy and Girl Scouts in grade school, but only a select<br />

few manage to continue through their high school years.<br />

Senior Eric Walters did his Eagle Scout project at <strong>Jesuit</strong>,<br />

collecting books in a book drive during lunch and break.<br />

“Every Eagle scout has to do some sort of project in<br />

order to complete the process,” says senior Dominic<br />

Wilmes. “I built an outdoor classroom in Canby for mine.<br />

It was actually a lot of fun.”<br />

Kim Klein has been a Girl Scout since grade school.<br />

• 8 •<br />

Most people assume that being a Girl Scout is simply selling<br />

cookies. However, Girl Scouts do much more than that.<br />

“We work to make the world a better place,” says Klein.<br />

“I truly believe that we do. There are centers all over the<br />

world where Girl Scouts are making a difference.”<br />

Last summer, Klein had the opportunity to go to a<br />

London Girl Scout center, where she got to do things she<br />

would have never had the chance to do, such as visit the<br />

London Eye and see the Queen. Being in the sisterhood has<br />

its benefits, and Kim wishes that more people would give<br />

Girl Scouts a chance.<br />

“A lot of people stop being a Girl Scout before they<br />

reach high school. In reality, you get to help more when<br />

you are older.”<br />

Senior Hayden Haberle is no ordinary Eagle Scout.<br />

This summer, while biking at Zigzag, he helped rescue an<br />

injured friend who was badly bleeding. Haberle and his two<br />

friends were able to help the Jordanian exchange student,<br />

whose arm was impaled by a branch after he fell while<br />

biking. Haberle was awarded the National Merit Award, one<br />

of the highest honors for a Scout.<br />

Scouts are often made fun of by their friends as they<br />

get older.<br />

“I just wish that being a Scout didn’t have a negative<br />

connotation,” says Klein. “We are doing really great things<br />

for our communities.<br />
