I really appreciate everyone who has read the paper over the past years and those who continued to read after we went from print to online. I will use all of my experience that I have gained while I further my education next year at Wittenberg University. I will definitely miss Pike; however, I look forward to my future and taking the things I’ve learned at Pike to a new school, new people, and a new state. The last two years has allowed me to provide interesting and entertaining stories for the populous of Pike High School. The newspaper improved my writing, social, and professional talents. I have grown as a person and have made many valuable relationships with fellow staff members and others outside of the journalism department. Everything that the newspaper has provided for me will stay with me throughout my future. I would like to thank my other four seniors who have been with me throughout my whole tenure as editor: Cameron Thomas, JaEisha Jones, Addie Jacobs, and Cierra Barnett. They have been very helpful in getting things done for the newspaper as well as being some of my great friends and always supporting me and being there for me. I wish my current co-editor, Natalie Huffine, luck next year as she takes on the job of being editor by herself. She is a very good writer and will surely lead the newspaper to another great year. I will undoubtedly miss Pike High School and writing for the Hi-Life. The experiences I’ve had and memories I have made will stay with me forever. It has been the four greatest years of my life thus far. The friends I have made are amazing and I love them so much. Thank you Pike for the four years you have given me. I am forever indebted to you and will never forget everything you did for me. --Kyle Powers STAFF BOX SENIORS Co-Editor-In-Chief- Kyle Powers Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- Addie Jacobs Cameron Thomas Camil Garner Ja’Eisha Jones UNDERCLASSMEN Co-Editor-In-Chief- Natalie Huffine Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- Reporter- ADVISER - Brelyn Jefferson Eddie Smith Jalen Allen Lexxus Canatsey Jericho Johnson Phillip Owens April Moss Seniors reflect on their favorite experiences 1 Always the last day of school signing yearbooks and taking pictures.

Gabriella Hebel S E N I O R O F F I C E R S IKE HI-LIFE May 2013 I ran for class president because I wanted to leave a great legacy at Pike and make our senior year memorable. I made sure I represented myself as a leader and a positive person. I wanted to be the eyes and ears of my senior class and make sure that everyone’s ideas were put into action. Underclassmen should get involved with at least one extracurricular activity. It makes high school go by much faster! Also, build a good relationship with your teachers. -Brenda Shelton 3 SPOT- [FEATURE] I wanted to get involved in the school.

I would advise underclassmen get involved and make friends. -Gabi Hebel I wanted to be an officer because my friends were doing it and I wanted to have a say in the big events that were happening around the school. -Faith Causey Pike’s Contributions to America’s Armed Forces Sarah RussellUnited States Army “I wasn’t going to be able to afford college and I wanted to do something big with my life and travel the world” I am really excited to leave, but I am really nervous about leaving my family. I am most looking forward to going overseas and finding out where I will be stationed and basic training. Always keep an open mind and don’t choose the first branch that comes to you and do your research and remember why you’re joining and make sure it’s something you want to do.” INSPIRATION: My recruiter has been a really big inspiration during my enlistment and he goes out of his way to make sure I get to PT and he gives me rides. “I’m going to miss all of my friends and teachers and being a care free high school student.” FROM ATTENDING PIKE TO SERVING THE COUNTRY Joel BergUnited States Naval Academy “I am going into the Navy so that I can have a challenging career that lets me serve my country.” I am most excited to go to boot camp for the experience.

As students undergo many changes from freshman year to senior year, at the same time teachers and the building has changed as well. JERICHO JOHNSON In the gym area, Reporter there now is a fitness center. This renovation to the old gymnastics room is one of the ways that the building has changed over the last four years. This new addition is an improvement to Pike that includes different exercise equipment such as treadmills and weights, for the students to use. “What I like the most about the fitness center is the new equipment and how smoothly it works. It gives us extra auxiliaries, extra work after school. Besides just lifting weights all the time, you can go in there and run on the treadmill, instead of having to go outside and run around the track,” junior Taylor Sanders said. Certain teachers that have left, or may have went to a new building have left their influence. Roy Dobbs, administrator for the Pike Prepatory Academy, is an example. Students looked up to Roy Dobbs and were influenced by him as well. “He influenced me big time. Intramurals and Young Men of Purpose is changing, everything is changing since he’s been gone. I think when he had to leave, [he left] part of Pike definitely missing,” junior Taylor Sanders said. Although some teachers and staff have left the building, there have also been some new teachers that have entered it. Calculus teacher Angela Lubbers and physics teacher Darren Fox are two of the many new teachers. “The new teachers are pretty cool [and] they actually are good teachers,” senior Joseph Rodgers said. The changes from the last four years has allwed the Class of 2013 to witness a part of history. They have been able to experience modern upgrades. As the building changes and teachers come and go, students make their own mark on it, becoming a part of the growing list of past graduates. Senior Lyric Hampton said, “It feels good to be leaving, but I know I’m going to miss people and teachers. I think my personality is what left a mark on Pike.” Current students were born in the ‘90s. From freshmen to seniors, students’ birth years range from 1994 to 1998. The ‘90s were a colorful age of the emerging technology and trends that have pioneered what is in place today. The ‘90s is the decade that generated the next wave of students who are soon to go forward into the world and make it a better place. Pike High School celebrates the ‘90s as the decade of future leaders.

Guidance Counselor Diane Richie is retiring after 13 years. Unlike others, Richie just recently made a sudden decision to retire.

Pike’s Favorite Storyteller Departs Charles Burchfield, Beloved AP United States History Teacher, Retires After 41 Years of Teaching On May 4, 2013 Charles Burchfield chaperoned the prom just as he had done for 50 other dances and proms. Before the prom king and queen were crowned, Burchfield was called on stage. He had no idea why he was on stage and was even NATALIE HUFFINE more Co-Editor-In-Chief confused when Principal Troy Inman leaned into Burchfield and jokingly told him he had won a car. Then it was announced that Burchfield was being crowned the “Real” Prom King. This honor celebrated all of his contributions to Pike High School and all of the students he has affected during his 41 years of teaching United States History. Burchfield, the favorite teacher of many and the staple social studies teacher at Pike, will be “graduating” this year after teaching at Pike High School for 19 years. Burchfield is 65 years old and decided that retiring now is a way to avoid getting too old to teach. “My philosophy has always been ‘I want to go out on top’. I don’t want to be one of those teachers that people say should have retired three years ago. I do not want to be known as the ‘used to be’ teacher. I want to go out on top,” Burchfield said. However, Burchfield wants his students to know that teaching has always been his love. “I love being with [the students]. I love teaching. I have always had good experiences [in teaching]. Really I had no desire to do anything else,” Burchfield said. Burchfield has impacted many students that have walked through Pike High School’s doors. One of said students is sophomore Jacob Isaacs. Isaacs has had Burchfield both semesters this school year and believes he is fortunate to have been able to have had him. “He is a memorable teacher and when people look back on their history teachers they will think of him. Everybody wants to have him. Everybody loves him,” Isaacs said. However, Burchfield’s legacy goes back much further than his 19 years at Pike. Burchfield graduated from Pike in 1966. Although there were only 156 people in his graduating class, they had a huge impact on Pike. His class was the first class to graduate from the current Pike High School. His class was also responsible for the naming of Pike’s yearbook Pike’s Peek and his class also convinced the administration to hold prom in an outside venue. When Burchfield was a Junior in High School he decided that he wanted to be a teacher. For College, Burchfield studied at Indiana University where he met his wife and participated in ROTC. When Burchfield graduated from college, he joined the military. Because he had been in ROTC he started out as a Lieutenant. Although difficult, the time Burchfield spent in the military helped him greatly. Burchfield believes that his experiences in the military have made him a better teacher. “My best teaching techniques were given to me by the military. It taught me discipline. It taught me that you have more energy then you think. It taught me to just keep going,” he said. Burchfield’s first teaching job was in Union City, Ohio at Mississiwewa Valley. He taught there for three years before coming back to Pike Township to open Guion Middle School. After teaching at Guion for 20 years, Burchfield decided to teach at the high school, where he has been for the last 18 years. Sophomore Annie Cole feels that Burchfield’s retirement is sad. “I feel like he is ready to retire but at the same time, he is not ready to retire. People are going to miss his stories because Burchy is always right. He always knows,” Cole said. What makes Burchfield’s class so memorable is his stories. “His stories really do make his class. They bring U.S. history to life. I have understood history a lot better because of his stories. Burchfield’s class puts a new perspective on US history and he adds a fun perspective to it,” Cole said. To senior Emily Ambriz, one particular story stands out. “The story about how he was the first person to eat a Big Mac in Hawaii really stands out,” Ambriz said. Burchfield’s life has allowed him to teach history like it is a story, rather then a textbook, and this is what makes him memorable. Burchfield lived through the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, and numerous other historical events. Throughout the years, Burchfield’s current events have become history and his story telling has won over many students who never thought they would like history. The student body of Pike has loved Burchfield for 18 years and now it is time to let “Burchy” move on with his life. Even though “Burchy” is retiring, he wants his philosophy at Pike to live on. Burchfield said,“I try to teach with humans in mind. You are going to make mistakes in life, we all do. But there is no reason people should not try. Someone has to be our senator, president, and teachers. And sometimes the most underestimated people turn out to be pretty good leaders. So you should never give up on anyone.” Burchfield’s Advice For The Class of 2013 1. Enjoy what you do. I hope everyone will have a career, like mine, where they are really happy. 2. Take advantage of all the opportunities that come to you. 3. Never burn your bridges behind you. 4. Be informed of the world around you. The world is changing too fast to be ignorant. Did you know? 1.Burchfield was the first person to eat a Big Mac in Hawaii. 2.Burchfield was a Lieutenant in the Army. 3.Burchfield graduated from Pike in 1966. 4.Burchfield’s grandfather, two uncles, and aunt on his mother’s side were teachers which influenced him to become a teacher. 5.Burchfield has chaperoned 50 proms and dances. [FEATURE} Two of Pike High School’s favorite and most inspirational teachers will be leaving the school after this year. IKE HI-LIFE May 2013 9 The Man Through the Years By Addie Jacobs REPORTER 1980 2002 The Story Behind the Man After 12 years at Pike one of the most well liked teachers is departing. Following his heart, Martindale is planning on going to Virginia. After going to senior prom together and facing 10 years of a long distance relationship, Martindale and his girlfriend found it too difficult and went their separate ways. Now after marrying other people, having kids, and going through divorce, they have found each other again. Though it was a tough decision that took most of the year to make, it is official that this will be Martindale’s last year teaching at Pike. “I will be teaching summer school in the Czech Republic starting in late June and then in August I’m moving to Virginia when I get back,” Martindale said. At first thought, Martindale wanted to be a politician then shortly after that he wants to do psychology counseling. However, he just did not connect to them. “I just wasn’t has drawn to them. Once I was in them I realized they didn’t use my skills and talents so well,” Martindale said. After job shadowing and guest speaking for some of his friends who were teachers Martindale fell in love with the job. “It was a heart-felt decision and no one goes into teaching for the money,” Martindale said. Martindale, who competed in a Speech National Tournament in 1979, first considered teaching English or Journalism so he could be a speech couch. However since he majored in Psychology and minored in Political Science it was easier for him to get his social studies license so he could get right to teaching. After teaching at North Central for six years, being a wellness consultant for companies, and selling maps and globes and teaching some college classes, Martindale came to Pike to teach. “I always missed teaching when I wasn’t doing it. It is my calling,” Martindale said. Martindale returned to Pike in the fall of 2001 after doing his student teaching here in 1986. Handing it down to a friend, the teacher who Martindale was a student teacher for called him and informed him that she was retiring and invited him to apply for her job. When Martindale heard that Pike was going to be a IB school he expressed an interest in teaching Theory of Knowledge. Shortly after Mrs. Cracraft was promoted to head IB coordinator, Martindale was given his chance to teach TOK. Martindale is not only leaving his classes behind, he is also leaving two clubs as well. Martindale is a sponsor for both GSA and a club for Muslim students at Pike. It is still undecided who will take over his multiple responsibilities. His teaching job for psychology and government will be left to an open application and two teachers are being sent to classes this summer to become eligible to teach TOK. For GSA the two other sponsors will remain and if any teachers are interesting in sponsoring with them they can because it is. The Muslims of America group, which has been inactive for the year, will no longer be a club unless another student in the future restarts it. Martindale will be missed next year not only by staff but by past and present students as well. 2012 DID YOU KNOW?? 1. Martindale first wanted to be a politician. 2. Martindale is a member of the American Psychology Association. 3. Martindale was born on Long Island. 4. Martindale’s fa- vorite color is purple. 5. One of Martin- dale’s favorite authors is Dr. Seuss. 10 IKE HI-LIFE May 2013 [NEWS] What seniors will miss when they go to college “What I will miss is prom because we won’t have a reason to dress up, look all spiffy, and having seniors coming together for something great.” - Dujuan Carpenter “What I will miss is going to go see my counselor when ever I want, I’ll miss the support and the good relationship.” -Kayla Hutchinson THE HOT SEAT With Addie Jacobs “What I will miss is old friends, not being able to see them after high school and will miss the strong relationship” -Marcus Clark “What I will miss is old friends, us not going to the same college, and probably won’t be seeing them until our 10 year reunion”. -Jeffrey Ferguson Camil R.

Senior Sabrina Cordon also says she will be going to that concert. When going to a concert, students may want the full experience of sitting right in front of the stage. Sitting that close to the stage will of course cost the extra money. Cordon says it’s worth the extra money if it’s a popular artist. However, Martin says she’s fine with the lower priced seats. Both Martin and Cordon say they have been saving for the upcoming concerts. Screaming at the tip of their lungs, students look forward to being part of the huge crowds the concerts will draw. Nobody plans to have a bad time over the summer. They plan on adding memories to their summers. This summer should be a blast, and should give students topics to talk about for the next couple of months. The countdown begins for the summer plans.

Since the economy is still recovering from a recession, it may be hard to find and get a job during the summer, By Lexxus Canatsey especially for high REPORTER school students. It is no surprise that college students take up most of the summer jobs since they return home from college before high school students end their school year. However, there are many possibilities for teens having difficuly finding traditional jobs. According to www.moneycrashers. com there are many non-conventional jobs teens should consider to make money. Just a few of them include: Baby sitter, Camp Counselor, Pool Cleaner, Career orientated Internships, Tutor, Movie Theater Employee, Golf Course Caddy, Lifeguard, Handy person, Dog walker/Pet-sitter, Mobile Automobile detailer. There might not be any choice.According to an article on boston.com the number of teens holding a job in an average month has fallen from 54 percent in 1999 to 27 percent in 2013. “It has been a long struggle. I’ve applied to Target, Footlocker, Wendy’s, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, Boston Market, Great Clips, and Applebee’s, sophomore Jordan Perry said.” Perry explains that he was upset that he didn’t get any of the jobs. “It never made me stop looking,” Perry said. Photos from the royalty free site searchcreativecommons.com It’s that time of year.The weather is warming up, and students are preparing for their summers. One favorite thing for students to do is to take in some concerts, especially if they can find special deals, since prices can often begin at $25 or even $50 a ticket. Students have been planning and saving extra cash to have a good time this summer. Some concerts may reflect their personalities. Others might be a chance for a student to explore a new type of genre. Whatever the reason, Indianapolis will have all different types of artist coming to town. The concert agenda ranges from rock, country, R&B, pop, comedy, and more. Indianapolis prides itself on welcoming acts from all across the music spectrum. The list of concerts seems as if it would go on for forever. The Vans Warp Tour is drawing a lot of attention around the school. Ashley Martin who plans on attending some concerts says, “For Vans Warped Tour there is a ton of differ- Justin Bieber will perform July 10 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Consider these types of job opportunities. Sophomore Dashawn Felder is also having a hard time finding a job. “I applied at Burger King, McDonalds, Cold Stone, Wendys, Subway, Kroger, Culvers, Old Navy, Target, etc. It’s a struggle,” Felder said. While some are struggling, there are jobs available. Justin Madera actually had an easy time getting a job. He explains that his mother works at Henry Schein. “I filled out an application, did a job interview, took a drug test and done,” explained Madera. When you’re out looking for a summer job be patient. It may be hard but if you keep with it and stay patient you will find a job, and you will be on your way to making money.

In broad strokes, the film covers the rise of the titular hero from 4-F asthmatic weakling to 1-A asskicking ubermensch with the help of a supersoldier formula. Along with this general plot, however, Captain America also establishes the importance of the series Macguffin: the Tesseract, a cosmic cube that provides unlimited energy and therefore unlimited power. Styalistically, Captian America serves as a gorgeous period piece set to the tune of the Second World War. It doesn’t give any accurate reflection of the time period, instead presenting itself as if it were from the 1940s. Cap’s montage is especially worth noting, as it serves to satirize trite wartime propaganda - like the original Captian America. In short, Captain America is like an old B-movie given a better budget, and is so relentlessly awesome at every opprotunity that it just can’t be missed. Fight Club Released in 1999 Directed by David Fincher Starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt Fight Club, in all it’s soapy, bloody, and psychologically scarring glory, is easily one of the most controversial flims of the 1990’s. It’s basically the film adaption of the eponymous novel by Chuck Palahniuk, but in the best way possible. The film’s plot basically covers the unnamed narrator going batty, discovering that he’s batty, and then fixing said battiness. Breaking in a numb society of emotional alienation and superficial object obsession, he creates Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden and he create Fight Club, which of course can’t be talked about. What follows is really freaking weird, and challenges basically everything ever- including itself. Fight Club is a curious and volatile mixture of the original book, the cinematic genius of Fincher, and virtuoso performances by Norton and Pitt. Everything is done extremely well, especially the opening animation and the ending music. The blink and you’ll miss it fun bits before Durden’s arrival are also a treat to look for. To put it as simply as possible, Fight club is a classic that has attracted a loyal cult following, and well deserves it.
