Girls' Volleyball: Road To Florida

Lina Woronko

The HHS girls’ volleyball team went to Disney in 2014 for a nationwide tournament in Orlando, Florida through the organization KSA Events. KSA Events hosts high school sanctioned sporting events throughout the United States for student athletes. Again, the girls were invited to attend the Classic Volleyball Tournament at Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida for the year 2016.

The idea of the trip is to prepare the team for their upcoming season. The tournament consists of teams from around the nation, some being the top high school teams in the country. Out of about thirty teams, a team from Wisconsin ended up winning the entire tournament in 2014. The Haverhill girls’ volleyball team were given the opportunity to play against Wisconsin and other higher level teams, learning to compete. Returning players now know what to expect and are ready to challenge these teams once again in 2016.

The tournament is held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The cost of the trip is about $28,000 for the whole team and includes food, hotel, Disney parks, practice time, and transportation. The tournament itself lasts for two days, but the team is given an extra day at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex for two hours of practice time. Although the trip was meant for inspiring student athletes through competition and education, the team was most excited about going to the place “where dreams come true”.

Varsity team Captain, Kiana Bueno, who had attended the trip in 2014, said “spreading the word for our fundraisers and accomplishing the fundraisers successfully were major steps for our last trip and it will be just as important for our upcoming trip in 2016.” The team was able to attend Disney in 2014 for the cost of only $50 per girl. “The initial cost was $25,000. The whole team continuously encouraged each other to help out all the time. We got to go to Disney World and that, itself, was already a motivation, especially for the few girls who had never been”, Kiana stated.

Below are the upcoming fundraisers and events the girls’ team have prepared for donations towards their trip in 2016:

1/10/16

Bingo

Amvets Hall 2pm-6pm

1/30/16

Mattress Sale

HHS Gym 10am-4pm

If you are unable to attend any fundraisers, but are still willing to help, the girls’ volleyball booster club has also set up a GoFundMe account: Click here to donate

Any donation is greatly appreciated!!!

Club of the Week: Girls Learn International

Marielis Batista

Haverhill High School’s Girls Learn International Program, better known as GLI, raises awareness about the injustices that girls have to live with, such as limited access, in many places, to education. GLI is dedicated to increasing girls’ access to education in countries where females are far less likely than males to stay in school past the primary grades.

GLI was founded in New Jersey in 2003 by Lisa Alter. Her goal was to create a program to show that humanitarianism has no minimum age requirement and that youth plays a critical role in leading the movement to affect positive change for girls and women all over the world. Lori Capra took up the cause in Haverhill, starting the high school’s GLI in 2011.
Mrs. Capra said that teaching students about social problems around the world gives her satisfaction because most of the students have no idea about these social problems. She is inspired by the energy of the students once they are aware of the social issues faced by women. Iliana de los Santos, a student, said that she enjoys GLI because it allows her to meet new people that have similar interests and learn about the struggles that women go through in different countries, as well how we can create change. Shukri Ali, an exchange student from Somaliland, said that she will gain many benefits from this club, because in her country they face many of these issues.

The GLI Program is building a movement of informed advocates for worldwide girls’ education and a new generation of leaders and activists for social change. The program teaches students that through their own creative initiatives, dedication, and passionate leadership, they can create real solutions that address the obstacles girls and women face locally and around the world. The GLI members recently went to Newburyport to watch the film Malala. GLI meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month in Mrs. Capra’s room, S15, and welcomes new members throughout the year.

Sibling Rivalry - The Battaini Edition

Peter Orfanos

Michael and Abbey Battaini, probably the most well known sibling athletes at Haverhill High School, sat down with Brown and Gold for an interview last Thursday. Michael is the captain and senior guard for the Hillies varsity basketball team. Abbey, a junior captain, is returning for her second year as a starting guard for the girl’s varsity team. 

Who’s the better captain and why?

Abbey: I’m a better captain because I lead by example.

Mike: No I’m a better leader because I’m more vocal and keep everybody on track. Abbey is a better floor general, I’ll give her that. 

One-on-one in your driveway. Who’s winning?

Mike: Me

Abbey: Michael because he’s bigger and stronger. I can shoot better though. Like if we did a 3-Point contest I would definitely out shoot you Mike.

Mike: Abbey may be able to outshoot me but it doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m the best.

Did you guys get into playing basketball at the same time? 

Mike: I was first and Abbey came shortly after, but it was evident that we were both going to play because of our dad.

Abbey: Yeah, also my cousin Sammie always played and she is older than me so I looked up to her growing up

Mike: I guess you could say basketball runs in the family. 

Do you two have a memorable moment together involving basketball?

Abbey: Mike I just thought of that 3 on 3 tournament we won.

Mike: Oh definitely. Abbey, Joey Fenderson and I won a three on three tournament in Maine. We schooled those kids.

Respectively, for your teams, what do you hope to accomplish this season? 

Mike: I hope to bring us to a state championship appearance. And hopefully an MVC small division championship. It’s my last year for high school ball, I want to do as much as I can to have my team end up victorious. 

Abbey: I’m hoping to improve our record from last year. A huge accomplishment for us would be to make playoffs but I believe we could because we have experienced and young players that are ready to play. 

Being your first year as captains, how do you guys plan on tackling the primary leadership role for the first time in your basketball careers?

Mike: I won’t be alone, I’ll have the help of my teammates the whole way through. I have their back and they have mine, everyone will play their role and we will compete collectively. I also will lead the way setting the intensity level in practice very high. 

Abbey: I’m going to be more of leading by example. I’ll also be vocal by picking up my teammates when they’re down and always having their back. 

Mike: I wanted to add that I want to lead in the effort category, I want to be the first on the ground and the first to every loose ball. That’s why I’m a better captain Peter. 

Me: Yes Mike good. 

Do you guys have a hype song?

Abbey: I want to say “Trophies” by Drake.

Mike: No Abbey what the heck that’s my song you can’t copy me.

Abbey: Oooh siblings that agree?

Mike: No Peter don’t put that she stole it from me.

How is family life at the Battaini residence, are you guys competitive?

Mike: No I know I’m better than Abbey at everything.

Abbey: Michael’s just cocky. I’m more humble you know? That’s why I’m the better captain.

Me: Yes Abbey good.

Mike: Abbey you know I'm the best Fifa player in the house don’t lie.

Finally, who is the favorite child?

Mike: Abbey.

Abbey: Me. I’m just a lot more thoughtful and caring for everyone. Plus I’m the youngest and the only girl.

Mike: I’m more of a people’s person though, and I do more for the community.

Abbey: Michael you still owe me ten dollars from last week what are you talking about.

Angry Turkeys, Urns, & Dog Saliva?!

Lina Woronko

We’ve all had holidays when something seems to go wrong in the worst possible way… At least I know I have! One Thanksgiving my cat dragged in a live bird. The bird flew around our house and we had to chase it down and out of every room until it finally flew out the front door. 

Brown & Gold recently asked students to share their most memorable Thanksgiving stories. Whether a tradition didn’t go as planned or something totally unexpected happened, these holidays were some for the books!

“One Thanksgiving my older cousin gave all the kids forks that extended to three feet long. The adults had no idea... So when they were all gathered around the table and began putting food on their plates, we all pulled out our forks and extended them to reach across the table for food! It was so funny.” 

-Madison Thompson, Junior

“A few days before Thanksgiving in 2014, my mom had bought the turkey we were planning on serving for the holiday. She had asked me to put the turkey in the fridge downstairs in the basement and I listened. Mind you, we have two fridges in the basement… Anyways, I put the turkey in the fridge (or at least in one of them). The day before Thanksgiving I get a call from my mother during my Italian class… I had put the the turkey in the wrong fridge and it spoiled! So thankfully, after school, my memere rushed me to the store and I got the last 28 lb. turkey at Market Basket.” 

-Olivia Cranston, Junior

“When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of food. Although we don’t do this anymore, my brother, my mother, and I used to toast loaves upon loaves of bread for our stuffing. We would take turns chopping up the bread to cook with the seasoning. I would have a lot of fun making the food while listening to music, but my brother and I would always argue about which one of us got to play it. Either way, I loved cooking with them.”

-Gianna Valenti, Freshman

“One Thanksgiving it was my job to set the dinner table. I set each place perfectly with the finest dishes in the house. I completed the arrangement with an elegant centerpiece of my grandfather’s urn and surrounded it by a wreath of fall leaves. I haven’t been asked to set the table since.”

-Lauren Clark, Senior

“One Thanksgiving when I was nine, I had a hamster named Brutus. I was showing my hamster to my younger cousin when I dropped Brutus and he fell into my eagerly waiting dog’s mouth. I screamed for my mom who was in the other room. She frantically ran in and scooped the hamster up from my dog’s throat. My hamster was smelly and soaking wet with dog saliva, but he was alive and lived another three happy months. My dog was also okay but upset, because she didn’t get to eat Brutus.”    -Cynthia Caruso, Junior




“Every year on Thanksgiving I help skin the turkey and serve everyone’s plate with my dad. We always tell jokes and play music while we do it. It’s always a fun time!” 

-Richard Hallinan, Sophomore

“One year, a week before Thanksgiving, my family decided it would be a great idea to get a dog. We spent the day looking all over until we ended up at Zoo Creatures in Plaistow. Sometimes, Zoo Creatures has peacocks and turkeys outside. When my family and I began to enter the store, the turkeys chased us away! It was hilarious.” 

-Eryn Spencer, Junior

“When I still lived in my home state of Georgia, my family would go over my aunt’s house every other Thanksgiving. I guess you could say it was kind of a tradition. As soon as my immediate family arrived, my siblings and I were separated from our mother as usual. The adults would be in the kitchen and dining room while the kids would be either in the backyard or the game room. My cousins swarmed all over me, because they hadn’t seen me in a year. When you haven’t seen someone in a year, you don’t know how much they have grown or if they have gotten better at something. This leads to competitiveness and family competitions. The year before, my cousin won the “pot” or the competition. This year, it was going to be me, or at least I wanted it to be. So as usual, I’m in the game room, playing against whoever comes in. Then, of course, my sister, Dawniqua, has to come in and blow everybody out of the water... But, hey, at least I got to go home with a full belly and three pumpkin pies.” 

-Ashley Galloway, Junior

Senior Class Performs Deathtrap

Alina Page, Victoria MacMillan, Michaela Kane

Every year during the fall, Haverhill High’s play director, Mr. Gori, and students from the senior class put together the annual senior class play. This year Mr. Gori chose the play Deathtrap. Deathtrap is a murder mystery taken place during the years of 1970-1980 in Westport, Connecticut. This play was written by Ira Levin and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play of 1978.
Last week, we interviewed actresses from the play, Aubrie Campbell and Emily Bresnahan.

Why did Mr. Gori choose Deathtrap?
Aubrie:  “HHS hasn’t done a murder mystery since my freshman year, so Mr. Gori wanted to do something new and exciting.”
Was anything changed from the original script?
Aubrie:  “Yes, there is only one male actor in our cast, so we had to change a few characters and lines, and a few weapons are different.”
 How long have you guys been practicing?
Aubrie:  “We have been practicing for 11 weeks for about 2 hours a day, but this week, Monday and Tuesday, we practiced from after school to 8pm.”
What was one of your favorite memories from the play?
Emily:  “When the entire cast got together to watch the movie Deathtrap.”
Aubrie: “Everyone has gotten really close after these long weeks of practicing.”
How long have you been acting?
Emily:   “I have been acting since third grade in the annual play of A Christmas Carol.”
Aubrie:  “I started acting my freshman year in A Christmas Carol.”
Do you plan on acting in the future?
Emily:  “Yes, I plan on acting in college as an extracurricular activity.”
Aubrie:  “Yes, I plan on acting in the spring production and would like to act in college.”
 Who kisses who in the play?
Emily:  “I can’t say, you’ll have to go to the play to see.”

Come see Deathtrap on…

The Best Years Of Our Lives

Alpha Cepeda

Homecoming is based entirely on tradition. Not only just by high schools but also by colleges and universities. So if the disappointment of it being your senior year is hitting you, remember: it may not be your last year with the experience. Many people go through the motions of homecoming but few know it’s real purpose. 

The tradition of homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at colleges and universities dating back to the 19th century. The origins of the first homecoming celebration remains largely challenged. Although Baylor, Illinois and Missouri were at the forefront around 1910. Regardless of the disagreement over who initiated homecoming, even the earliest of these celebrations contained the same elements. Schools organize rallies, parades, speeches and dances, aiming to unite the student body and create a better sense of community, harmony, and school pride among each other. 

Sports games or matches conveniently provide a big event for these other celebrations to revolve around.  A dance typically follows the game or at least takes place the same weekend, unless of course, you live in Haverhill, Massachusetts, where it sometimes happens a week later.

Most high schools, colleges, and universities center the homecoming game around an easier team or opponent. The purpose being to hopefully avoid a defeat. It allows for the dance and other events to be centered around a win, a kind of celebration. Although in our case the student council and student government choice the date. They schedule it after two away games. Homecoming then takes place and we welcome home our players.

The enticement of being new in a school, and having new experiences would lead a lot of the attendance of these events to be underclassmen, such as freshman and sophomores, but the memories of years past do attract the juniors and seniors as well. How many times have we heard “these are the best years of your life, enjoy it”? It leads many of us to want to be at every school event possible.

Any bonfire, dance, and game. Which is truly the biggest tradition of all.

Club of the Week: VIP Team

                                                        Marielis Batista

Haverhill High School’s Violence Intervention and Prevention Team, better known as VIP,  devotes itself to addressing all forms of violence through community collaboration, training and education, prevention and outreach. The club was founded by Haverhill High School teenagers in 2005. The purpose of the group is to focus on peer leadership skills and activities designed to mentor and educate younger kids on violence prevention. VIP has more than one hundred members including middle school and high school students, VIP alumni, and adult mentors. In addition to pledging to uphold the program’s mission of peace, members of the club give presentations on violence prevention and attend training workshops on conflict resolution, leadership and public speaking.
   
Mrs. Nieves, one of VIPs mentors and supervisor of the Education & Responsibility Center of Haverhill High School, said that this club gives her purpose, appreciative that she gets to do something that’s apart of her. Another mentor, Andy Polanco, also said that the club is a big part of his life. He was one of those “tough” kids when he was younger and became a better person when he joined a club such as the VIP team. Andy says that he wants to give this back to others, now as teens and as students so they can have a better future. As for current VIP members, they said that they feel safe and that the club is a place where they can be themselves. One student described VIP by saying,"We are all a family."
   
VIP has taken team members on many trips to support their members and causes, including a recent trip to New York City, free of cost. Students also participate in a variety of community service activities such as the Walk of Peace, which was celebrated October 3rd, in the city of Haverhill. After involving themselves with VIP for one year, students have the opportunity to become members of the club. After two years, students become leaders. VIP's immense community ties and outreach is what really sets them apart. VIP meets each Wednesday after school in the VIP room down the A-wing , and welcomes new members throughout the year.

Bonfire kicks off homecoming week

Michaela Kane

Last Thursday at 7pm, students gathered at the Haverhill athletic fields to witness the sixteenth annual lighting of the fire, a traditional event everyone looks forward to each year.  Starting off homecoming, the Bonfire was a great way to begin an eventful week.

After the playing of the National Anthem, the fire was lit and the festivities began.  The bonfire was the first thing spectators noticed as they approached the fields, along with the music that filled the air.  Diagonally across the bonfire was the roped of tug of war arena, waiting for its competitors.  Behind that was the famous mechanical bull, where there were always people waiting in a stretched out line for their turn.  To the left of the bull and past the tug of war, the new Wipeout game challenged all who attempted to cross it.

Each year, the Bonfire holds several activities in order to engage the students, such as the mechanical bull, Wipeout, and tug of war.  The mechanical bull, a traditional attraction at the bonfire, was a favorite by the students yet again.  A large mass of people eager to ride could always be found waiting in line at the bull, sometimes winding all the way around the machine.   Even though the line was long, students still jumped back in at an attempt to beat their previous time. Along with the mechanical bull, Wipeout was easily just as popular.  As a new attraction this year, students were not sure what to expect of it, but it proved to be a successful event.  In the attempt to complete the course, students kept jumping back in line, no matter how long the wait.  It was clear that it was a crowd favorite, and students say they want it back next year.  The tug of war provided competition and entertainment for the several teams and spectators that lined along the barriers to watch.  In groups of ten, students faced off in the muddy grass in hopes of victory.  In an unexpected win, the girls field hockey team beat the football team for their final match.

Although all of the activities were enjoyed by the student body, one of the best experiences for them was the chance to be with friends.  When asked what the best part of the Bonfire was, one student concluded, “getting to see my friends.”  The Bonfire was the first of many events that brings the students together, giving them the chance to appreciate their school.

Whether it was someone’s first or fourth year at the Bonfire, all around everyone enjoyed it.  For those who came for the first time, they cannot wait to go back, and for those of whom it was their last, they said that it was the best year yet.

Beard of the Week: Sean Bellemore

Victoria MacMillan

Why do you have a beard?

I have a beard because it keeps me warm in the winter, makes me look older, and the ladies love it.

How long did it take you to grow out your beard?

It took me about 3 weeks to grow my beard out.

What do you use to keep your beard clean?

I use beard oil, I lather Head and Shoulders shampoo on my beard, and I also use Perts Plus conditioner.

How often do you trim your beard? Or do you not trim it at all? 

I do not trim my beard often, only if I have a special event or date.

When did you decide to let your facial hair grow out? 

8th grade.

Do you see yourself with a beard in the future?

Of course.

What's your advice to those out there trying to grow a beard? 

My advice is to not shave all the time because you think your facial hair will grow faster, that's really a myth. If you want to grow a beard, then don't shave for weeks/months and don't try to shape it or trim until it's a defined beard.
