ern on October 30. Scarlett’s Cross Country filled with exams and excitement students
and Emily Conacher
and Girls Soccer teams went to City Cham- were dismissed to enjoy the holidays.
Another school year has almost
come to a close here at Scarlett. Amidst the
stress of exams and the excitement of the
summer to come, it may be hard to believe
that a whole year has gone by already and
difficult to remember all the events of the
past ten months. Fortunately, the FEVER is
here to give a reminder of all the fun times
that have transpired during the 2013-2014
school year.
In September, last year’s Grade 10
and 11 students returned to Scarlett as this
year’s Grade 11s and 12s. Welcome Week
rang in the new school year at Scarlett and
the school welcomed the new Grade 10 students. The different dress-themed events
throughout the week were fun and entertaining for all students and staff. Scarlett’s annual Terry Fox Run helped raised awareness
for cancer and was an active few hours that
involved the entire school. The two-and-ahalf day PE camping trip to Kananaskis was
filled with memories and hilarious moments
that no PE 30 student will soon forget. September featured the the beginning of the
cross-country, volleyball, football, and soccer teams and also signified the start of the
last year at Scarlett for Grade 12s.
October brought the spooky atmosphere of Halloween as well as a new set
of sports, school events, and club activities.
The Scarlett swim team had its first meet on
October 8. Scarlett for Global Aid hosted its
first luncheon on the 10th, with all proceeds
going to flood relief. On the 15th, Scarlett’s
choir went on its annual retreat and members were able to hone their vocal skills
while hanging out with their friends. Starting on October 20 and ending on November 1, Scarlett hosted a week of Halloween
events that culminated in a costume contest.
The Laramie Project, a dramatic collaboration between the drama departments of
Dr. E.P. Scarlett, Lester B. Pearson, Queen
Elizabeth, and Western, was staged at West-
pionships in October as well.
November at Scarlett featured
several important school events. The Remembrance Day assembly honoured Canadian soldiers and reminded students of the
importance of the past. Later in the month,
Scarlett’s Open House brought in prospective Grade 9 students looking to attend
Scarlett next year. Many clubs and classes,
from Journalism to Drama, were involved
in making the evening a success by showing off Scarlett’s best side. Scarlett’s Debate
team won gold at a tournament on the 23rd.
Starting on November 25, Scarlett’s drama
department put on their fall production of
Alice and Wonderland, showcasing the hard
work and talent that went in to their acting,
directing, costume and prop design, and
technical work. November also saw exciting developments in Scarlett’s sports teams.
The Senior Boys, Junior Boys, and Junior
Girls Volleyball teams all went to city finals, and the Senior Boys won and moved
on to provincials. Additionally, the basketball season began.
December started with the showstopping and glamorous Grad Fashion
Show. The show featured musical performances, modeling, interviews, and strutting
on the catwalk from a group of Grade 12
students. On December 13, the final swim
meet at the Talisman Centre and Scarlett
came second with 475 points beating out
Bishop Carroll, who had 461. The volleyball season came to a close when the Senior
Boys Volleyball Team placed top ten at provincials and the basketball season quickly
began. Scarlett’s creative talent was illustrated by the semester one art show featuring a multitude of drawings, paintings, and
more from Scarlett’s incredible art students,
and the Magic of Movement dance show
which starred the skilled dancers from Scarlett’s dance program. All students were excited for Christmas break and after a month
After winter break concluded, students began the new year with preparation
for their January exams. Hours of studying,
stress, and hard work went into finals and
Grade 12 diploma exams as students strove
to make the grade. After the final day of exams on January 29, students were able to
breathe more easily for a while before semester two officially began.
The lack of school in January
made the transition to a new class schedule
in February more difficult, but the many
days off helped make it a little easier. The
month began with the Jazz on Canterbury
concert which featured uplifting melodies
from the 1920s-1990s performed by Scarlett’s Jazz One, Two ,Three Combo and
Showcase bands along with jazz bands
from Fairview, Nickel, and Panabaker Junior High. The Scarlett band also wowed
at the Alberta International Band Festival
and Scarlett received five “Excellent, Excellent” titles, two “Superior, Superior”
titles, a “Good, Excellent,” and the prestigious Gold Award. The month of February also featured all of Scarlett’s basketball teams shooting for the playoffs.
March was a musical month, with
the multi-school band festival Winds from
the South taking place on March 10 and
ChoralFest taking place on March 17. Scarlett for Global Aid hosted another successful luncheon on the 19th. As the end of the
month approached, students began to look
forward to spring break. Forty-five Grade
11 and 12 students had the opportunity to
travel to London and Paris over the spring
break, where they had lots of fun as they
took in sights from the Tower Bridge to the
Eiffel Tower. The exhausted but smiling
students returned to the Calgary Airport on
the 29th with lots of stories to tell.
The second week of April held the
Scarlett Talent Show which featured musicians, dancers, beat boxers, and rappers
from all grades. The Talent Show was immediately followed by Moonlight Knights,
the annual Scarlett music program fundraiser which was a major success. The fundraiser’s theme was “the Roaring Twenties” and
featured the musical talents of the Scarlett
students. The 30 Hour Famine raised awareness for the less fortunate and the money
raised was sent to World Vision and distributed throughout the world. On April 23, the
Scarlett Band took a trip to Seattle and performed in the Heritage Festival. Scarlett’s
track and field success at Kamloops Battle of
the Borders was a huge success and helped
the athletes find their rhythm for the season.
The One-Act Plays were performed from
April 29-May 1 and featured four studentdirected plays and one teacher-directed play
as well as a performance from the improv
team. The basketball season came to an end
in April while track, field hockey, and rugby
got off to a good start.
In May, students who sought an
extra challenge by taking AP classes were
able to show their knowledge on the AP
exams from May 5-14. Grade 12 students
showed off their dazzling dresses and sharp
suits at the 2014 graduation banquet on the
16th. Following this was the closing exercises on May 26, where the class of 2014
donned gowns and walked the stage as high
school graduates. At the end of the month,
the art show returned to the library to showcase the creative efforts of second-semester
art students. May also brought the end of the
badminton season.
Going into June, students are looking forward to exams and summer break.
Grade 12 students are preparing to say
goodbye to Scarlett and move forward with
life as high school graduates, whether that
means progressing into post-secondary,
venturing into the workforce, travelling, or
taking a gap year. Grade 10s and 11s will
return to Scarlett for the 2014-2015 school
year and another ten months of activities,
events, and academics.

After a dreadful winter that
seemed like it would never end, every Calgarian just wants to wake up to some beautiful summer weather. For some, this would
mark the beginning of endless opportunities
to spend time outdoors taking part in activities such as strolling in the park or even taking a road trip; however, this year perhaps
the real purpose of these outdoor areas will
be overlooked with the announcement of
a new project by the City of Calgary. On
Tuesday, May 13, Mayor Naheed Nenshi
along with the CEO of Shaw Communications, Brad Shaw, declared the city will
start offering free complementary Wi-Fi at
various locations throughout the city.
So far there are four locations offering
this service, but the goal is to increase
that number by the time June arrives. For
many individuals, this will be a very helpful tool to stay connected to work or family
while being outdoors, which is one of the
main objectives of this project; however,
it also makes others wonder if these Wi-Fi
hotspots are truly as crucial as proclaimed.
Society is quickly becoming more
and more submissive to the power of the
Internet. It seems as if the web is everything
one would need to survive and many act as
if it is even more vital to have than, say,
food or water. For students, numerous assignments and projects are completed using
computers and for adults, co-workers communicate through email. In this light, perhaps the free Wi-Fi would indeed be very
useful for the community.
Calgarians, however, should also
take into account that several of these locations that offer Wi-Fi are parks and arenas.
These outdoor spaces should be used for
their purpose: spending quality time with
family and friends or enjoying the beautiful
weather before winter hits with another extensive period of slush and snow. If everyone is using their phones and tablets, the essential purpose of spending time outdoors
is then lost.
Another factor that should be
considered is that not many people would
genuinely use the Internet for work-related
tasks. A large majority of the public will
only use this opportunity to log on to their
social media networks, such as Instagram
and Facebook, to post pictures and comments. As proven many times in the past
few years, social media has the potential to
destroy relationships as some tend to focus
more on chatting on the Internet than socializing with friends and family. Therefore, if
the areas that should be used as opportunities to build relationships simply become
parks with Wi-Fi service, then much of the
human connection between the public will
be lost to a greater extent.
While it is a considerate idea to
offer free Wi-Fi services to the public, the
community as a whole should take into account how they should use the tool that is
being offered. It is evidently more important to spend time building a stronger relationship while enjoying the sun than it is to
update a profile on social media.

The numerous postive effects of practicing yoga often
By Karlee Selent
Yoga is the physical, mental, and
spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India, with a view to attain a
state of permanent peace of mind in order to
experience one’s true self. Various traditions
of yoga are found in Hinduism, Buddhism,
and Jainism.
Yoga came to the attention of an
and health for all individuals. It is not simply
working out, but also is a healthy lifestyle.
Peace and tranquility achieved through focused training appeals to everyone. The deep
breathing and meditation practices help foster an inner shift from to-do lists, children
and spouse’s needs, financial concerns and
relational struggles to something a little bit
bigger than the issues an individual has.
Yoga helps relieve stress and unclutter the

educated western public in the mid-19th
Century along with other topics of Indian
philosophy. Yoga provides both instant gratification and lasting transformation. In the
fitness world, both are extremely important.
Too much time with too few results can be
incredibly discouraging, and monotonous
routines week after week can lead to stagnation. Yoga can change your physical and
mental capacity quickly, while preparing the
mind and body for long-term health.
The greatest benefit of yoga is that
it is for everyone. Studios and local gyms offer yoga classes that are open to all generations and fitness levels. It is exciting to enter
a room full of adolescents, athletes, middleaged parents, older gentlemen and even fitness buffs and body builders.
Everyone can feel accepted and
included and, unlike other sports or classes
that focus on niche clients, yoga tends to
have open arms. Whether an individual likes
to say “Om” or cannot stand the term “yogi”
(used to define an individual who practices
yoga) or whether an individual is ninety-two
or twelve-years-old, yoga can help them.
Yoga encourages overall wellness
mind, and helps regain focus.
There are many styles of yoga that
are tailored to every individual’s needs and
lifestyle. There is hot yoga where yoga is
done in a heated studio, power yoga which
is a more vigorous approach to yoga, Hatha
yoga that focuses on physical and mental
strength building for beginners, and relaxation yoga that helps to relieve stress and
tension. No matter one’s fitness level or
health history, there is a place for every individual in yoga.
The two main physical focuses in
yoga are strength training and flexibility improvement, as they are incredibly beneficial
body traits. Stretching and holding of the
postures causes muscles to lengthen, which
gives the body a leaner look. The postures
are meant to strengthen the body from the
inside-out, so that one feels good while looking good.
Each pose is designed to reinforce
the muscles around the spine and the very
center of the body, which is the core from
which everything operates. When the core is
working properly, posture is improved, thus
alleviating any back, shoulder, and neck pain
present. The digestive system gets back on
track when the stretching in yoga is coupled
with a healthy diet, which can relieve irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux. More
advanced forms of yoga can amplify these
effects. Adapted from the basic Ashtanga yoga, power yoga requires increased
amounts of energy, focus, and strength. Although power yoga is an evolvement of the
basic poses, it is certainly not an easy yoga
course.
Deeper, more mental involvement
is required because most of the poses are
held for five full breaths versus the usual one
to three breaths. Muscles are challenged as
the mind and body have to work together simultaneously to hold a position or continue
a succession without giving up. Breathing,
posing, moving and increasing flexibility
happen all together at one time, which begs
a new level of discipline in your mind and
body.
Scarlett student Lorr Kharfan,
Grade 12, has been practicing yoga for two
years and can verify all of the effects of the
activity. Her love for yoga began when she
was taking part in school wrestling activities; she had experienced a pain in her lower
back. “I turned to the Internet because I had
no idea how to get rid of the pain,” she says.
“I found a video on YouTube that focused
on relieving pain in certain parts of the body
through yoga, and I haven’t stopped since.”
By practicing yoga every day and making
time for meditation, Kharfan has noticed a
drastic change in her day-to-day lifestyle
not only mentally, but physically. “Nothing
makes me happier than yoga. The more I do
it, the more I get to see my body change and
how I can test it. There’s so much that the
human body can do and it’s wonderful to see
it fulfill new potentials every day by challenging it”.
Kharfan says, “I’ve gotten so much
stronger and I’ve become more flexible. I
not only feel more connected to my body,
but more spiritually connected to the world
around me.” In fact, Kharfan became a strict
vegetarian throughout her experience with
yoga, as it is what inspired her to eat better
and to respect the animals that individuals
consume. “You stop seeing things in a hierarchy and more so as a web or a circle. Yoga
completely changed my perspective on society and the world as a collective.”
For anyone considering taking part
in yoga, or for those who think that yoga is
either too hard or too easy, Kharfan suggests
to dive right in and to fully engage in the
practice. “Yoga is a lot harder than it seems.
You aren’t just sitting on a mat in a hot room;
you are working all of your muscles in each
position. It’s challenging, but it shouldn’t
hold anyone back if they want to try it.”

Most Scarlett students who walked
through the library were bound to have noticed the recent set-up of elaborate house
designs which is another indication that the
house design competition had wrapped up,
and Scarlett had again done very well with
many design students taking part and bringing home awards. The students had thirtytwo days to create a landscape and house,
furnish the house, and meet all of the strict
criteria in order to qualify for the competition. Scarlett students are under a tremendous amount of pressure to finish in time and
some spend over fifty hours outside of class
to make sure that their house is the best it can
be.
The competition, which is sponsored by the Calgary Home Builders Association, takes hundreds of students who apply
from numerous schools across the city making it very difficult for each student to stand
out among the different designs. Scarlett
students were up to the challenge though,

Vogelaar and Karl Bautistia, Grade 12, who

Remember to check the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls for more updates on the missing girls
around forty girls managed to escape. This
tragedy has brought heartbreak to the families of the girls taken and millions around the
world.
The night of the abduction, men
from the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram arrived at the school dressed in Nigerian military uniforms. They told the girls
that they were taking them to safety. After
the girls were in the trucks, they took food
and supplies from the school and then set the
building aflame.
This is not the first attack by the
Boko Haram. There have been several cases
where members of the Boko Haram have
bombed areas, killing families and children.
State schools and isolated villages have become the main target of the Boko Haram
this year. They seem to be attacking people
whose only offense is trying to receive an
education.
Canada is sending over surveillance
equipment to help search for the missing
girls as well as military personal to operate
it. The Obama administration announced in
early May that they will be sending military,
intelligence, and law enforcement advisors
to Nigeria to help the Nigerian government
rescue the girls missing.
Efforts to bring the girls back were
sistance possible in order to help for their
safe return to their families.”
Five hundred Nigerian hunters
trekked into the Sambisa forest where the
girls are believed to be held. One of the
hunters proclaimed, “We are seasoned hunters. The bush is our culture and we have the
powers that defy guns and knives. We are
real men of courage; we trust in Allah for
protection, but we are not afraid of Boko Haram. If government is ready to support us,
then we can bring back the girls.”
The abduction has started a social
media campaign with hundreds of thousands
of tweets, Instagram posts and Facebook statuses using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls
in attempt to raise awareness of the situation
at hand. Organizations such as “Women for
Peace & Justice” have organized global days
of actions to raise awareness of the missing
girls and attempt to get answers as to why
more action has not taken place to getting
the girls back.
People all around the world know
of what is going on in Nigeria and the news
strikes a chord in everyone’s heart. Although
efforts and awareness are important the best
those following the situation can do is have
hope that these girls will return safely to
their families.

An exchange student’s experiences in Segovia, Spain
By Natalie Ward
Being away from home to spend
two and a half months in another country
may sound exciting. Maybe it sounds
terrifying. Or it may even sound both
awesome and scary. Alberta’s International
Education Exchange Program for Students
gives students who are learning a second
language the opportunity to spend time in
another country to immerse themselves in
an environment full of their language of
study. Students study in that country for
three months (in the case of this exchange, it
was Spain), then host their exchange partner
in Alberta for three months. It is arguably
the best way to become more proficient in
one’s language of study and while travelling
to a new country at the same time. Hunter
Weselosky, from Medicine Hat, Alberta,
recently returned from an exchange.
Weselosky first learned of this exchange
when he entered the Grade Nine language
loop in his school and was encouraged to
look into the program by his Spanish teacher.
FEVER: What caught your attention most
about this Spanish exchange program?
Weselosky: I think what caught my attention
the most about the exchange is that I loved the
idea of going to an unknown place, somewhere
that I had never gone before and learning
the culture, language, and history there.
FEVER: What made you decide to
participate in the exchange, other than to
improve your language skills in Spanish?
Weselosky: I had never been to
Europe before and I thought this would
a great opportunity for me to go.
FEVER: What were you most nervous about
before your Spanish partner came to Canada?
Weselosky: The only thing that I was
worried about was that I only wanted to
make sure my partner felt comfortable. I
didn´t want him to still feel awkward while
it was like the halfway through exchange.
FEVER: How did you get to know your partner
before he arrived in your city in Canada?
Weselosky: My partner and I contacted
to Canada and left, I was playing football
almost every day. I tried extremely hard to
keep up with my partner either by hanging
out with him, playing video games, playing
basketball or going out in the town. The
easiest part was keeping him entertained; he
was always going out and doing something.
FEVER: In between the two halves of
the exchange when
you and your partner
were in your own
countries, did you
keep in touch often?
Weselosky:
My
partner and I probably
contacted only about
five times before
I came to Spain.
FEVER: After having
spent two and a half
months with your
partner, how did you
feel just before arriving

of the exchange?

Weselosky: From the time my partner came what was your favourite part about it? What
was your least favourite part about it? Why?
Weselosky: My favourite part about Spain
is probably the landscape. Everywhere
I went in Spain: Extremadura, Doñana,
Segovia, had beautiful views. The weather
was always nice and I had no problem
with it. My least favourite part would
probably be the schools. There are a lot
of things about the school [system] that
confuse and do not make sense to me.
FEVER: If there was anything you
could change about the entire exchange
in both Canada and Spain, would
you
consider
changing
anything?
Weselosky: The only thing that I would
change would probably be that I would
have tried to be more honest and open
about my feelings with my partner.
FEVER: How do you believe adjusting
back to the Canadian lifestyle will be like?
Weselosky: I don´t think I will have any
problems adjusting back to Canadian lifestyle.

about
the
exchange
program? Would you recommend it
to other students in your school/city?
Weselosky: I loved the exchange program.
I think joining the exchange was the best
decision of my life. I would absolutely
recommend students to go on the exchange.
After learning about Weselosky’s
experience with the Spanish exchange
program, it is safe to say that he had an
amazing time in Spain and Canada with
his exchange partner in the exchange. The
Spanish speaking skills greatly improved
(of everyone in the program) and these
experiences will never be forgotten.
Mary Gao’s acceptance into Lester B. Pearson College,
one of twelve United World Colleges in the world
By Natalie Ward
Recently, Mary Gao, a student
at E.P. Scarlett, learned of her acceptance
into one of twelve United World Colleges
worldwide. Gao, who is in Grade 11, will be
attending Lester B. Pearson United World
College for the next two years on an $80
000 scholarship, beginning this September.
Pearson College is a high school
located on the southernmost tip of Vancouver
Island and is one of twelve United World
Colleges in the world. The college has been
designed as a two-year pre-university school
and there are up to 200 students from over
100 countries around the world studying at
the school. The students attend, live, and
study together during their Grade 12 year
and one year after high school.
Gao says the process of applying
for the college officially started with an
extensive written application and then
short listed applicants were selected for
an interview. The interview was designed
to select the recipients from the top 16
applicants in Alberta. As this is such an
exciting and incredibly
amazing opportunity, the
FEVER
was
anxious
to discover more about
Gao’s wonderful college
acceptance and how she felt
about the whole news in
general.
FEVER: Being accepted
to United World College
is a great accomplishment.
How do you feel about it?
Gao:
I’m
incredibly
excited! It’s going to be
an awesome adventure;
I can’t imagine a better
way to finish high school.
FEVER: It must have
taken a lot of work to get
to where you are now.
What sort of things did you
have to do to get there?
Gao:
Every
applicant

FEVER: Which
teachers helped
you achieve your
acceptance into
this
college?
Gao:
Mr.
McKillop introduced the scholarship to
me; additionally, he has been an amazing
mentor the entire process. He’s helped
me in countless ways from writing a
recommendation to running mock interviews
with me. Also, Ms. Monfette wrote an
amazing recommendation letter. I’m sure I
could not have gotten to where I am without
continual support of Scarlett teachers.
FEVER: What classes are you most
interested in taking at Pearson College? Why?
Gao: I’m most exited for marine science
because it’s a lot of kayaking and scuba
diving and basically just hands on experience
with nature. I’m also very excited for IB
(International Baccalaureate) History HL
(High Level) and IB Economics HL because
social studies is really where my passion lies.
FEVER: Are you nervous to go to
this school or excited? Or both? Why?
Gao: Both! I’m nervous because it’s a very
small, isolated community with only 160
students and that’s frightening considering
I’m a big city type of person.

The Night Circus is a
masterpiece woven from dreams
and nightmares alike to create a
novel that captivates readers and
pulls them into a world like no
other. Erin Morgenstern, the author of this novel, is able to twist
her flowing words and eloquent
descriptions into an unbelievablybelievable world that begs to leave
the pages and become a reality.
Written predominantly
in third person, The Night Circus
follows several individuals, all of
whom have an extraordinary trait
that at some point becomes beneficial to the story. Despite these
uniquely-crafted individuals, the
true story of this novel focuses on
the circus itself, which is different
from any existing circus, mostly
because it is only open at night.
Also, this circus is home to a challenge between two truly gifted
magicians, which gives it an air
of magic and mystery, mixed with
the wonder that is traditionally associated with circuses.
Morgenstern is a master of words, and as such, creates
an achingly beautiful world and
circus that readers will dream
of visiting. Le Cirque de Rêves
is the name of the circus that is
the centerpiece of this novel,
appropriately translating to The
Circus of Dreams; although it is
more often simply referred to as
The Circus. The Circus travels, as
most circuses do, but this circus
arrives without warning. No
announcements precede it, no
flyers or posters have been hung. It
is simply there, when yesterday, it
was not. It is silent in the day, with
its multitude of black and white
striped tents drawing curious
individuals to its tall, locked iron
gate. They marvel at its distinct
lack of colour – everything is
black and white and gray, even
the grass has been painted – and
the sign that hangs from the
swirling black iron gates that
reads “Open at nightfall, Closes at
dawn.” --
FEATURES
When darkness falls,
the gates open, and guests
are invited inside for a truly
unique experience. The reader
is made to feel like one of the
marvelling circus-goers through
Morgenstern’s exquisite use of
second person interludes that
allows the reader to become part
of the story.
The individuals who
inhabit Morgenstern’s world are
nearly as interesting as the world
itself. The novel most often
revolves around the duelling
magicians, Celia and Marco,
and while their characters are
developed the most, all of the
characters are fascinating and
readers will want to acquaint
themselves with each character as
much as possible.
Celia, who was taught
magic by her father who was
also a magician, is a thoughtful
individual with the astounding
ability to manipulate the physical
world with her mind. She is
quiet, but rebellious against the
challenge her father has forced
her into, and chooses her own path
when the opportunity is presented.
Celia›s role in the circus is, not
surprisingly, the Illusionist. She
puts on astounding shows for
amazed circus-goers, all of whom
believe the real magic she presents
them is simply a slight of hand.
Taught by a mysterious
man who is always dressed in
grey and does not have a shadow,
Marco, Celia›s rival in the everlooming challenge, is taught to
steer clear of the spotlight and keep
his magic subtle. He is as vital to
the circus as Celia is, producing
new tents and working undercover
as the Circus’s founder’s assistant.
He is especially talented in
manipulating others minds with
his own, creating illusions.
The fact that he is Celia›s
rival remains unknown to her for
years, and when they finally meet,
sparks of both competitiveness
and passion fly, forming a twisted
love that they are not permitted to
--
Page 13
indulge in.
Other, more colourful
characters include the lovely
and loveable Poppet and Widget
Murray, redheaded twins that
were born on the opening night
of the Circus, which leaves them
with very unique abilities.
Poppet can see the
future in the stars, even though
the visions that she has do not
always become clear to her until
after it has happened, usually not
until it is too late. Widget, rather
than seeing the future as his sister
does in the stars, sees the past in
people. He sees people’s stories
and everything they have been
through, and as a result, can tell
stories that wrench people’s hearts
and alter their souls.
Although this novel is
beautifully written and contains
stunning descriptions of the circus
itself, it requires a reader who
accepts that the central focus of
novels need not always be on the
characters. They must realize that
the focus of the story is on the
Circus, and must be willing to
immerse themselves in flowing
descriptions rather than orderly
plot.
Readers who are looking
for a plot-driven novel will dislike
this novel, as The Night Circus
is more similar to a dream than a
novel, in the respect that dreams
generally do not have complicated
storylines, but they almost always
contain some level of intricate detail.
If a reader is willing to
accept the wonders that the Circus
has to offer, they will greatly enjoy this novel and be pulled into
a world that is nothing short of
dreamlike. Once finished reading this novel, readers will long
to begin the story again, and wish
that Morgenstern’s world could be
made into a reality. Like a dream
that one is hesitant to wake up
from, The Night Circus will linger
in the mind of the reader long after the final sentence has been read
and the cover has been shut.

The ten all-time greatest cars to ever be manufactured
In 1672, Ferdinand Verbiest designed the world’s first ever steam-powered
vehicle. It was the first car the world ever
saw, a true milestone. Since then, the automobile has evolved. People and companies
have worked hard to transform it from the
awkward-looking engine-with-a-seat, to
the old wagon-style cars, to modern-day
SUVs, all the way to sleek, fast supercars.
This transformation has been neither swift
nor easy, but for all their hard work, those
responsible for it have plenty to show.
Present-day cars are magnificent
feats of both engineering and imagination.
Automobile companies now provide cars
that people will not only use as a means
of transport, but will enjoy as well. There
are many car enthusiasts, and it is no wonder why. Sports cars, supercars, and classic
cars are the finest specimen of cars anyone could find; they are the true summit
of automobile innovation. When thinking
about cars, though, it may be hard at times
to compare them. The following list is of
quite plausibly the ten best cars ever made.
1. 1973 Chevrolet Camaro. It
should come to no surprise that the Camaro
is at the very top of the list. In many ways, it
is the King of Cars. First of all, it can convert
anyone into a car fanatic with nothing but its
looks. The ’73 Camaro is one of the most
beautiful cars ever built. Its smooth design,
the curve at the front, the continuous backside, etc., make it quite a sight. While it may
not be the fastest car, with a 0-60 mph time
of 6.7 seconds, there is something to be said
about its engine. It is a beast in its own, and
the sheer power in it is audible in the roar
of the engine, music to the ears. Though it
may not be the best car in terms of speed, it
is enough to make it to the number one spot.
2. McLaren P1. If one were looking for a fast, good-looking car, the McLaren
would be the perfect fit. The McLaren Company is famed for its highly-desirable supercars, and the P1 is surely their crown jewel.
With only 375 P1s made, it is quite a treat for
the lucky owners. The P1 is a plug-in hybrid
sports car, utilizing both its hybrid power
and Formula 1 technology. Its design alone
speaks of its power and capabilities, with
the luxurious beauty expected of McLaren
cars. It is rear-wheel driven, with an impressive seven-speed transmission. Proof of the
car’s capacity is in its lap of the Nürburgring. The Nürburgring is one of the hardest,
most daunting race tracks in the world, even
deemed too dangerous for Formula 1. The P1
finished the lap with an average speed of 111
mph, and a time under 7 minutes, the record.
That alone justifies its position on the list.
3. Mitsubishi Lacer Evolution.
The Mitsubishi Evo is quite a car. It uses
turbocharged engines and is an all-wheel
drive. There have been different versions of
the Evo, some with 5-speed transmission,
others with 6-speed, both offering power,
though. Its engine has often been described
as aggressive, it is full of power and does not
bother hiding it. Its combination of speed world. It has a quad-turbocharged engine

it look glamorous in a way few other cars can
accomplish. The copper is only slightly protected from the elements, so it may change
over time due to oxidation. The copper is
the perfect complement to the black though,
and the idea of it changing is interesting.
The only problem with the Onyx is it is a
concept car, a display of new styling of technology, and might never be mass-produced.
6. Bugatti Veyron. The main reason the Veyron is on the list is its speed.
The original version of the Veyron has a
top speed of 408.47 km/h, an extremely
high speed, especially considering average
cars only go up to around 220-260 km/h.
The Super Sport version of the Veyron has
a top speed of 431.072 km/h, making it the
fastest street-legal production car in the
drance, it still manages to have a 0-60 mph
time of 5.0 seconds. According to Renault,
the DeZir represents a person falling in love,
through its design. It is part of a series of
concept cars meant to represent the stages
in life of a Renault customer. Though it may
not be the fastest or most powerful car, it is
still quite impressive and has a stunning interior. That, along with the fact that it uses
an electric motor, earn it a spot on the list.
9. Lamborghini Veneno. The
Veneno is indisputably a great car. With
its innovative design, it looks more like
something out of a sci-fi movie than a real,
driveable car. Its futuristic features, though,
do not disappoint. If for no other reason,
the Veneno would be on this list purely for
the sound it makes. Its start-up sound is
that of dreams. Ferocious and powerful, it
gives the driver warning of the beast they
are about to drive. It is a seven-speed, allwheel drive, providing the driver with a
truly fantastic experience. Only three were
produced, one red, one green, one white,
along with the prototype, Car Zero. Though
it is a shame so few exist, it does add to the
appeal of the car, making it truly unique.
10. Audi S8. The S8 makes it on
the list mainly due to its element of surprise.
On the outside, the S8 looks like any average Sedan. It does have the classic Audi
look, but nothing about it gives away its
hidden power. With a surprising 0-60 mph
speed of 3.5 seconds, the S8 beats the Ferrari FF’s 3.6 seconds; an impressive feat,
considering it is not even designed for a
race track. Its body is not made for tracks,
it is too big and bulky, but its pleasantly
surprising speed earns it a spot on the list.
There is no doubt that cars have
come a long way since the first automobiles. They have become better and are
continuously improving. With such a large
array of cars, it is difficult to choose one’s
favourite. Though it all comes down to
personal preference, these ten surely deserve a special mention as they are quite
simply some of the best cars made to date.

For those searching for a cozy,
quaint diner, Dairy Lane Cafe is a classic
Calgary choice. Established in 1950, Dairy
places, it was rather loud inside the restaurant, especially due to the small size of the
dining room.
Photo By Lauren Morris
Dairy Lane’s immensely popular breakfast burrito served with salsa and sour cream and
topped with avacado is perfect for anyone who craves a hot savory meal in the morning
Lane prides itself as a “home-grown” cafe,
and from the crowds of people swarming the
cafe on a weekend morning, it is evident the
city has grown up alongside it.
While waiting for a table, patrons
stand outside the cafe chatting and drinking
coffee, with up to twenty people gathered
around the outside of the restaurant waiting to be seated at a time. On a nice, sunny,
warm spring day, the wait outside is lovely
and comfortable, but in the cooler months of
the year, the wait outside could be cold and
miserable.
Upon arrival, the hostess gave
an estimated wait time of around an hour,
which ultimately turned out to be forty minutes. Despite the realistic estimate on seating
time, there was a vacant table out front on
the patio that sat empty for twenty-five minutes, rather than having diners seated there.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was trendy and urban, with fastpaced pop music playing in the background.
That being said, like the majority of brunch
When it comes to the food, a
popular breakfast choice at Dairy Lane
seemed to be the breakfast burrito: a
burrito stuffed with three eggs, veggies,
refried beans, and aged cheddar, topped
with avocado and salsa and sour cream
on the side, served with a side of hash
browns ($14). The breakfast burrito is
popular for a reason, as it was overflowing
with cheese, egg, and peppers, and was
also packed with tons of flavour, complimented perfectly by the avocado and
mild salsa. The hash browns were quite
good as well, especially compared to the
typical standard of soggy or burnt textures which most breakfast places seem
to adhere to. They were crispy, without
being overcooked; diced pieces of potato
which had been fried and topped with salt
optimised the flavour of the hash browns,
without making them overly salty.
Another
notable
breakfast
choice at Dairy Lane is the stuffed French
toast, made with fresh Engel’s bread with

a side of hash browns ($13). A unique touch
at Dairy Lane is that patrons have a choice
between sweet and savoury French toast, an
option not usually available at brunch destinations. The savoury toast is stuffed with
cured bacon, tomato, spinach, and cheddar,
while the sweet toast is filled with cinnamon
cream cheese and topped with berry compote.
Opting for the sweet French toast,
one might expect the meal to be overwhelmingly sweet, even sickeningly so, so that one
cannot finish the meal. Luckily, this was not
the case with Dairy Lane; the French toast
was fluffy, yet evenly browned to a crisp
texture on the surface and topped with delicious, yet seemingly unsweetened, berry
compote. The beauty of this dish was that
the compote was flavourful and fruity, but
lacked the sugary-sweet taste that can come
with an excess of sugar being added to the
compote while cooking; the natural sweetness of the berries were not overwhelmed,
and indeed, were the highlight of the dish.
The toast itself was very thick, and inside
--

was rather doughy, perhaps too doughy.
The cream cheese filling was phenomenal; it
too was not sickly-sweet, and the cinnamon
added richness to the dish that balanced out
the savoury undertones of the cream cheese
and the natural sweetness of the berries perfectly. A harmonious dish, the initial lack of
sweetness may be a disappointment to some,
but leaves patrons clearing their plate with
ease, without the drawbacks of a sugar stomach-ache.
In regards to Dairy Lane’s lunch
selections, the Dairy Lane burger, an Angus
beef burger topped with mayo and encased
in an onion bun ($12.5) is a tasty choice.
Upon first bite the burger was juicy and delicious, obviously house made, with a delicious smoky flavour that enchanted bite after
bite. The burger came with a side of black
bean and corn soup, made with cilantro, onion, red pepper, and lime juice. The soup
was nice and hot upon arrival and had spicy
undertones to it that added flavour and zest
without making the soup too spicy for those
with milder tastes.
Dairy Lane turned out to be a cute
brunch destination for a date or for a few
friends to go out for breakfast, but due to
the extremely small size of the restaurant it
is not a recommended destination for larger
parties. The atmosphere of the restaurant
was cozy, yet funky. The staff was friendly
and helpful, yet their method for seating customers was inefficient and slowed down the
process greatly. The food was delicious, and
local, and offered a wide range of options
for those who are vegetarian or gluten free,
including a selection of veggie burgers. That
being said, one may wait for quite a time to
get a seat in the restaurant, and the bill can
be a bit pricey− especially with coffee costing $3.
All in all, Dairy Lane is a quaint
café, and a good choice for anyone looking
to expand their brunch horizons.

It would be easy to assume that
fashion columns are for girls only; however,
that is not always the case. Menswear has
become a big part of the fashion industry
and has just as many trends as ladies clothing. Since summer has already arrived, guys
should know that there are now several ways
to revise fall/winter clothing to make them
summer appropriate.
From slouchy muscle tops to the
classic blazer, a guy should always have a
button-up in his closet. A button-up is classic, whether it be a blue and white striped
button-up, or a classic white button-up, and
can be worn in a very fancy manner or to a
casual lunch.
If one were to wear a button-up to
school, the key is to keep it simple, so it is
casual. To start this casual outfit, a dark pair
of chino shorts, like navy, should match the
button-up of one’s choice. Roll the sleeves
of the button-up twice, and to keep this outfit
casual, do not tuck it in. Accessories are not
just for women; leather and woven bracelets
suit most men perfectly. One could pair a
simple leather bracelet with the ensemble.
The chino and button-up is a very basic outfit that can be dressed up and worn with any
type of casual shoes, like TOMS or Vans.
To wear a button-up to something
a bit more fancy, dress it up by rolling it up
and tucking it neatly in dark skinny jeans. If
the weather is a bit cold, pair any coloured
blazer or cardigan over top. Tucking the

Gao: The most obvious advantage with
these schools is the sheer diversity of the
population. For example, I will have 3 roommates and every roommate will come from
a different continent. There are three main
goals I have for Pearson. 1) Travel as much
as possible 2) Learn Spanish and French fluently from my classmates 3) Educate myself about people of the world who grew up
in a fundamentally different environment.
FEVER: What does success mean to you,
whether it is in class or outside of school?
Gao: Honestly, as cheesy as this sounds,
success in life is about being happy. It’s
about finding those perfect moments,
nurturing relationships that matter, and
bringing happiness to people around you.

Another print that has been invading men’s fashion is polka dots. The slightly
retro trend is as versatile as it is bold. Originally the polka dot was a staple for men’s
accessories, but this spring/summer 14 season has introduced polka dots in a new, more
casual way. The print has been featured in
River Island, Topman, and Acne Studios
collections in varying styles. The most classic style featuring this is the short sleeve
button-up.
The best thing about polka dots is
that the sizes range from large round circles,
to almost invisible dots, giving the consumer the freedom to match it to one’s personal
style. Smaller white circles on a dark base
give off a somewhat punk vibe, while large
bright polka dots complemented by a faded
base look beachy. With polka dots, the look
is very much based off of one’s desired aura.
In a world filled with female fashion icons
such as Anna Wintour, Gisele Bundchen and
so on, it can be easy to forget that menswear
is an imperative part of fashion.

Les cinq endroits la plus beaux pour vister en France
Par Cleo Williams
L’été est pratiquement ici et avec
les températures plus belles viennent les vacances. La plupart des étudiants vont rester
à Calgary pour l’été, mais ceux et celles qui
sont plus chanceux pourraient voyager en
France. La France est bien connue pour ses
vins et fromages délicieux mais il y a aussi
le paysage incomparable à ce qu’il y a au
Canada. Ici est une liste des cinq endroits en
France ayant le plus beau paysage.
Le palais de papes- C’est un des
palais les plus vieux en France. Il a été
construit en 1309 quand le pape Clément V
a abandonné Rome pour résider à Avignon.
Dû à son âge, le palais n’est pas très bien
maintenu mais les tourelles et la brique ancienne reflètent l’apparence gothique. Le
palais n’est pas seulement un exemple immense de l’architecture de la renaissance
mais c’est aussi un site historique de la
France. À partir du 13iéme siècle, le palais des papes est devenu un endroit central
pour les dirigeants de la religion chrétienne.
L’Histoire du palais le rend même plus fas-
cinant aux visiteurs. Les citoyens peuvent
effectuer une visite guidée du site et marcher
sur les mêmes planchers où plusieurs papes
ont marché. Le palais démontre des détails
qui ne sont pas trouvé dans les maisons de
ce siècle. Ceci inclut des hauts plafonds décorés avec des peintures de la renaissance et
des planchers de pierre élaborés avec le plus
grand résultat. Le palais des papes est vraiment un site incomparable.
Le musée du Louvre- Ce palais
transformé en musée est un des endroits
touristiques les plus connus et visités en
France. Grâce, en grande partie, à sa pièce
de résistance : La Mona Lisa. Situé au cœur
de Paris le Louvre loge des centaines de
peintures, sculptures et objets façonnés. Autour du musée s’élève une grande pyramide
de verre qui s’allume durant la nuit et qui
attire bons nombres de touristes et de photographes professionnels. Visiter les merveilles du Louvre prend certainement plus
d’une journée. Le palais est si extravagant
que c’est impossible de vraiment apprécier
la beauté de l’art en un seul jour.
L’Arène de Nîmes- Cette attraction touristique set souvent oubliée,
mais ça représente un aspect important de
l’histoire de la France. L’Arène de Nîmes
est une des arènes les mieux maintenues
au monde, même plus intact que le colisée à Rome. L’arène a été construite en 70
après Jésus-Christ, pour tenir les batailles de
gladiateurs. Située à Nîmes, l’arène mesure
131 m de long et 101 m. de large. L’espace
central est entouré par 34 rangées de sièges
qui pourraient contenir 16,300 spectateurs.
Les anciennes batailles de gladiateurs sont
maintenant finies, mais les batailles de taureaux se déroulent dans cette arène depuis
l’année 1863. Grâce à l’illégalité des luttes
de taureaux, l’arène est maintenant utilisée
comme une attraction touristique, en plus
elle a été le site utilisé dans plusieurs films.
Ce n’est pas seulement l’histoire qui attire
les touristes à ce site unique de l’UNESCO,
l’architecture est incroyable. Construite par
les anciens citoyens de Rome, c’est tout
bâti avec des pierres. Cet amphithéâtre est
un exemple parfait des standards des archi-
tectes Romains.
La dune de Pyla- Située au bassin
d’Arcachon, la dune de Pyla est la dune de
sable la plus haute en Europe. De ses 107
m, de hauteur, les touristes ont une jolie
vue sur l’océan Pacifique. Le sable sur cette
dune bien connue est de haute qualité. Toujours de couleur blanche blanchie et de texture fine, la dune est irrésistible. La dune a
un déplacement annuel de 3 m à 4.3 m vers
la forêt de conifères qui l’entoure, alors les
touristes devraient visiter ce site avant qu’il
disparaìt au milieu d’une forêt. La gorge
de Verdon- L’un des endroits les plus admirables de France est la gorge de Verdon.
Un canyon de vingt-cinq kilomètres de long
et 700 m de hauteur attire les gens de tous
les coins du monde prêts pour une aventure.
La rivière qui est nommée de par sa couleur
verte vibrante permet aux touristes de faire
du kayak, de rafting, de la voile et du ski
nautique.
Calligrams: Beautiful visual poetry created by Mme. Olauson’s French Language Arts 30 class, inspired by the astonishing work of the French poet, Guillame Apollinaire. Contributers

2014 Scarlett one act plays and improv come to an end
By Paige Bernstein
and Lourdes Morand
The 2014 Scarlett One
Acts Plays have to come a close.
This year students performed in
four one act plays, in addition to
the performance by the Scarlett
Improvisers, which is a group of
students from Scarlett who regularly
practice improving scenes and play
improv games. Three out of the four
one acts were student directed by
Lourdes Morand, Sergio Montanez,
Alycia McKitrick, and Allyson

her boyfriend Christopher (Devin
Paxman) allegedly cheating on her.
What she does not know is that the
girl she sees her boyfriend with is
just his mother in a wig, making her
appear years younger than she really
is.
“This is a Test,” directed
by Scarlett teacher James Jack, is
the epitome of a high schooler’s
worst nightmare. Alan (Coleman

“La Mouche,” directed
by Lourdes Morand and Sergio
Montanez, was a quick ten minute
one act play about a business man
(Alun Bain) going out to lunch
and finding a fly in his soup. After
telling his flamboyant waiter,
Pierre (Rachel Esser) about the fly,
chaos erupts. Pierre’s manager,
Jacque, (Kennedy Baruta) adds an
interesting and murderous twist to
the show.
“What are the Chances?”
directed by Alycia McKitrick, was
the one and only student written
show this year. Written by Haley
Wahl and Sarah Hirst, “What are
the Chances?” is a story of a girl,
the worst nightmare ever.
The Scarlett Improvisers did
a phenomenal job with their improv
games and earned lots of laughs
from the audience every evening.
Hosts Alexa Mackell and Jamin Gin
were exceptionally funny and witty
and bounced off the crowd’s energy
well.
“Nice Name for a Sky,”
directed by Allyson Elliot, was

ruined by a drunken chairman of the
play house. Coan Roik, Mary Gao,

the one act.

Alice Liu. Wang entered the Cardel
Homes Art-A-Thon with her painting
“Roaring Sky,” and Liu was involved
in the Grade Twelve Stampede Art
Scholarship Competition with her
water colour painting, “Traveller’s
Luck.” The FEVER caught up with
each of them to find out more about
how these two art competitions went
and get some insight on Wang and Liu
as artists.
FEVER: First of all, congratulations
on your achievement! What does it

Wang: The fact that total strangers

Liu: My motto is: “It is time to stop

FEVER: What is your most important art
tool? What is something you cannot live
without when creating a piece of artwork?
Wang: As long as I can make art, I am
up to experimenting with anything. I have
used pencils, paintbrushes, digital tablets,
carving blades, you name it - and so far I
have loved working with the challenges
and possibilities that each tool presents;
therefore, the only thing I probably cannot
live without is the opportunity to try new
things. The best thing you can do as an
artist is to experiment outside of your
comfort zone and constantly push your own
ability to the limits.
Liu: A pencil, because I use it to plan
everything out. A kneaded eraser is also
essential for stress-relief.
FEVER: What style of art do you enjoy the
most?
Wang: I am a huge art history fan, so I
appreciate all art movements. Being into
illustration and design, I especially love Art
Deco, Art Nouveau, and Soviet Realism.
Styles of art like that you can see anywhere,
in advertising, architecture, and design
- not just in galleries. Anything that
makes its way into your life and tries to
convince you of an ideology through its
style and motifs is really interesting.
Liu: I would say that I am most
experienced in graphite, but mixing
acrylic paints can be so much fun!
FEVER: What would your dream job
be if you could have any job in the
world?
Wang: My dream job is the one I am
working towards right now, which is
becoming an illustrator. I especially
idolize the career of artist Yuko
Shimizu, who does covers and spreads
for high profile magazines and comic
publishers like The New Yorker and
Vertigo.
Liu: I would be an animator for Disney.

The 2014 Dr. E.P. Scarlett Art Show impresses again
By Aaron Schmidtke
The Art Program at Dr. E.P. Scarlett continues to impress viewers everywhere as the Art Show comes to Scarlett for
its second stint this year. New artists, new
paintings, new sculptures, and new creative
outlooks showered upon Scarlett’s magnificent reputation. The Art Show includes
various art forms and features a number of
different kind of painting styles including
charcoal, acrylic, intaglio, linoleum print,
and some even as simple as pencil, pastel,
or spray paint. Nonetheless, all the art pieces
are equally beautiful. Students from the Art
Program in grade ten, eleven, and twelve get
the opportunity to showcase their talents on
a daily basis and are constantly motivated to
succeed in whatever art form one chooses. In
the Art Advanced Placement Program (Art
AP), students continue to be motivated and
are given the opportunities necessary, except in the AP program it is done on a bit
of a faster pace, with more precision, and
students are further encouraged to pursue art
after high school. The techniques developed
are irreplaceable and the experience speaks
louder than words.
The Art Program is headed by Raymond McRae. McRae joined the Scarlett
staff seven years ago and has adapted accordingly every year since. McRae helps in
teaching students creativeness and using his
aptitudes to make every student reach his or
her potential. While creativeness is promoted, it is a patient matter. “Other than a few
projects focussing purely on rendering, most
of the projects in art are fairly open ended in
up in the grades, the different art courses
become more open and the projects more
student-directed,” says McRae.
McRae allows students considerable independence, which is a key asset to

by choosing subject matter for projects that
they find interesting or that are personal in
nature.” Motivation is only one of the significant factors to becoming a successful artist.
McRae continues: “Artists need to be able
to challenge themselves with new ideas and
forms of expression if they are to grow.”
Showcased all throughout the halls
of Scarlett are beautiful art pieces from
past and present Scarlett students, proving
yet again, how art is a vital aspect of high
school. When asked how he thinks the Art
Program is vital at Dr. E.P Scarlett High
School, McRae says: “I think that the Art
Program gives students a place where they
can express their own worldview in a safe
environment. It is a place where they can
work alongside other students who are also
discovering who they are as artists and people.”
There are numerous methods that
contribute to being a creative, motivated,
and successful artist, and they are all taught
here at Scarlett. Various art forms are taught
thoroughly to assure the students a proper
education for fine arts. The FEVER would
like to thank McRae for the significant time
he put into the Art Show success and would
like to thank and congratulate all artists participating in the Art Show, making Scarlett a
unique, colourful, and stunning atmosphere
for students to grow and flourish in.
Scarlett celebrates spring with the spring showcase
By Riannon Laarz
This spring, Scarlett held the annual
spring showcase of dance called The Magic
of Movement featuring dances from grade
10, 11 and 12 dance students. The showcase
was held on the nights of Wednesday, May
21 and Thursday, May 22. The show had
dances ranging from Bollywood to country
to an energetic classic and some contemporary. The spring showcase held plenty of
energy and enthusiasm, making the show
very enjoyable for the people who attended.
After the showcase, the Dance 15
class was asked what they thought of the
spring showcase and being able to perform
in it. Students commented that it was an
amazing experience and that it was fun, exciting, and creative. Most of the class was
in agreement that being in the showcase was
great because they could meet new people.
The students were also asked, when watching the show during dress rehearsal and the
video in class, which dances they liked the
most and why. The class mostly said they
liked the 25s and 35s hip-hip piece because
they could see the group had fun on stage,
as well as see that most of them knew the
dance well, and had that sense of confidence
while on stage. The class also said they liked
the 25-35’s Bollywood piece because it was
an attention-grabbing and exhilarating piece.
Out of group pieces, the 15s said they enjoyed
watching the performance called “Latch”
because the group that was performing it
tertaining,” while another stated: “I loved
to watch the swing piece, it was well choreographed and the dancer’s looked as
[though they knew] what they were doing.”
After show the FEVER asked
Scarlett’s dance teacher, Jill Currie, about her own dance past and
how long she has danced. Currie
has danced since she was four years
old. She danced for ten years with a
professional dance company called
Decidedly Jazz which she helped
create. Currie’s preferred style of
dance is Jazz and Blues. The Decidedly Jazz Company is having a
thirty-year anniversary since being
created. When asked her opinion
on what dance can bring to someone’s life she replied, [It] opens
doors to people’s inner self, brings
joy and a life skill. [Dance helps]
you work in groups by working together [choreographing dances].”

Scarlett’s Year-End Music Concert, the Bittersweet End
By Brianne Godsman
On Wednesday May 14 the Dr. E.P.

X-Fest storms back to Calgary with a brand new attitude
By Aaron Schmidtke
X-Fest is coming back Calgary. After the success of last year’s X-Fest, it returns
yet again with some new acts that are sure to
have concert-goers jacked. Last year’s show
carried some huge household names including Blink 182, Weezer, Passion Pit, and, of
course, City and Colour. A few smaller acts
included AWOLNATION, Mother Mother,
The Sheepdogs, and Phantogram. With a
line-up like that, the show was destined for
grand performances and, indeed, received
stellar reviews. This year, the show is following up with some great acts that complement each other nicely.
Headlining the show is Jack White.
White has been associated with a number of
different music groups from the rock band
The White Stripes to the Raconteurs to
now being a solo act. White will release his
new album on June 10 which is only a few
months shy away of X-Fest on August 3031. Calgarians will get a fresh taste of the
new music from the 38 year-old Michigan
native.
Right behind White in headliners
are the critically acclaimed Artic Monkeys.
The Artic Monkeys seem to grab listener’s
attention more and more every year. The
Artic Monkeys consistently release quality
soundtracks and albums and have been compared the successful band The Black Keys
and even toured with them back in 2012.
Death Cab for Cutie has rocked the
indie and alternative world for some time
now, and will give Calgarians the pleasure
of listening to them this summer when they
come back to Calgary for X-Fest. Without a
doubt they carry with them a large follow-

After the worldwide success of Foster the People’s album Torches, fans waited
what seemed like forever for the release of
a follow-up album and listeners have finally
gotten what they wanted. Supermodel was
released in March and Foster the People will
be bringing their talents to the stage in Calgary this summer.
Tegan and Sara bring with them a
hometown advantage of being born in Calgary. They have been rocking Alberta for
almost two decades now and this duo is now
being recognized worldwide for some popular songs such as “Closer” and “Walking
with a Ghost.”
Some other acts include Fitz and
the Tantrums, who have a number of hit
songs of their own including “The Walker”
and “Out of my League;” Cage the Elephant,
who are now getting recognized for their
rock and roll sound and are played quite frequently on rock radio stations; Serena Ryder, who is climbing the popularity ladder;
and a few other smaller acts including Stars,
The Airborne Toxic Event, July Talk, and
many more.
With all the big and small names
coming to X-Fest this year in Fort Calgary,
it will be quite a spectacular show without a
doubt. The show has a good balance of rock,
indie, and pop. Whatever kind of music one
likes, this festival cannot be a miss.

Movies and TV shows often increase the popularity of the featured superhero. This is good for the superheroes, of
course, as they deserve all the recognition
and admiration they get. In May, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie came out, drawing
attention to Spider-Man. Spider-Man is one
of the most iconic heroes, and he deserves to
be. On the other hand, the TV show Arrow
has drawn attention to Deathstroke. Unlike
Spider-Man, Deathstroke is a villain, and the
show has quite possibly drawn more hatred
towards him, though he may deserve it too.
Though Deathstroke is not a superhero, he
does play an important role in the superhero
community, and thus will be pitted against
Spider-Man.
Origin
Deathstroke started off as Slade Wilson, a
sixteen year-old boy who managed to enlist in the army by lying about his age. He
proved to be quite a prodigy, excelling in
combat and guerrilla warfare. He was trained
Spider-Man versus
Deathstroke
in a number of combat styles and eventually
was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Eventually, Wilson was asked to be a part in an
experiment which he thought was aimed at
creating a defense against Truth Serum. He
reacted badly to the experiment, though, and
he became enraged and aggressive. It also
improved his strength, stamina, speed, senses, and reflexes beyond those of any normal
human. At first he used his skills for good,
rescuing his captured friend when the army
refused to. When he was discharged for
his disobedience, he took on the role of the
world’s greatest mercenary.
Peter Parker’s, aka Spider-Man’s, origin
story is quite possibly one of the most wellknown stories in the comic book universe.
He was bitten by a radioactive spider at the
age of 15 while on a school trip. He and his
classmates were visiting a public science exhibit when the spider accidentally bit him,
giving him spider-like abilities. The main
reason Parker became a superhero, though,
--
Scarlett FEVER
was the death of his Uncle Ben. Parker had
been raised by his uncle and aunt since he
was little, so the loss resonated deeply. The
worst part about his death was that the man
who shot Uncle Ben was a burglar that Parker had seen earlier and let escape. Driven
by grief, Parker took Uncle Ben’s famous
words, “with great power comes great responsibility,” and used them to forge his
path. He became the superhero Spider-Man
and since then has worked to protect New
York and its citizens.
Both stories are interesting, but
Parker’s is by far the more noble and admirable. While Wilson had potential, he chose
to use it for evil; therefore, Spider-Man wins
this round.
Skills
Deathstroke does have some very
useful skills. His heightened strength and
speed are definite advantages when fighting.
He can heal, making him difficult to maim or
kill, and his reflexes make him hard to even
get to. He uses both long- and short-range
weapons, such as guns and katanas. The
problem with Deathstroke, though, is the effect the experiment had on him. It made him
aggressive and unstable. Spider-Man could
use this to gain the upper hand.
Although Deathstroke has better training
and is more versatile in the field of combat,
Parker would be a tough opponent. He too
has super strength, and is roughly fifteen
times more agile than the average human.
He is also an incredible athlete. He has his
webs which he can use both offensively, to
trap opponents, as well as defensively, to
swing out of the way of oncoming attacks.
Parker is also very smart and quick on his
feet. He can keep a cool head, which gives
him the advantage over Deathstroke.
--
June 2014
In a battle between the two, SpiderMan would be the victor. Though Deathstroke has the training, Parker has both the
skills and mindset to beat him.
Suits
Deathstroke’s suit is quite practical. It has a number of pockets and places
to keep weapons, ammunition, and anything
else an assassin might need. This is very useful and smart. The suit is mostly black, so he
can blend in with the shadows. There is also
orange on his suit, making it more visually
appealing and distinct. Overall though, his
suit is not very impressive, even a little boring, as it just plain black and orange, with no
particularly exciting aspects about it.
Spider-Man’s suit is the opposite of
boring. It is red and blue with webs on it and
his symbol, a spider, on his chest. It may not
have pockets, but it is ideal for Spider-Man.
It is tight so as not to get in the way of fighting or webslinging. It fits his needs perfectly,
and is the iconic suit people have come to
know and love. It clearly identifies him as
the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Spider-Man has indubitably the
best suit out of the two. It is practical and
ideal for him, yet also stylish and recognizable.
Verdict
Between Deathstroke and SpiderMan, Spider-Man wins. His suit and origin
stories are better than Deathstroke’s, and his
skills are superior. Though Deathstroke is
quite a formidable opponent and has made
quite the name for himself as a mercenary,
in a battle between the two, he would lose.
Spider-Man has worked equally as hard to
reach the status of superhero. He has proven
himself time and time again, as one of the
world’s greatest heroes.
Popular films worth seeing over this summer vacation
By James Ewart
School always seems to get busier as summer approaches; final exams are
written, lockers are cleaned out, books are
returned and Grade 12 students walk the
stage.
Although students are thinking
about exams and studying, once it is all over
there are some great blockbusters to catch
before heading back to school in September.
The first big movie of the season
which was released on May 2 was The
Amazing Spider-Man 2, the second film
in the trilogy about Peter Parker (Andrew
Garfield) balancing his life as Spider-Man
and as a normal teenager. His life takes a
turn for the worst as his friend Harry Osborn
(Dane DeHaan) becomes the Green Goblin,
an admirer named Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx)
becomes his enemy, Electro, and a man-inside-a-machine foe called The Rhino (Paul
Gimatti) arrives. It will take all of SpiderMan’s strength and knowledge to defeat his
enemies as well as recover his past.
Also hitting theatres on May 9
was the Seth Rogen - Zac Effron comedy,
Neighbours; a film about a family man (Ro-
gen) going to war against a frat leader (Effron). Probably the undisputed biggest hit of
May, and maybe of the summer, is Godzilla;
the second American version of the king of
monsters. The cast includes Bryan Cranston
of Breaking Bad fame, Aaron-Taylor Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and Ken Watanabe.
This Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures collaboration went on to have the second most
successful opening weekend of the year.
Spider-Man is not the only Marvel super hero hitting theatres; Wolverine,
Professor X, Beast, Strom, Mystique, Magneto and many other mutants have recently
returned on May 23 in X-Men: Days of Future Past. This adaption follows Wolverine
(Hugh Jackman) who is sent back 50 years
into the past by Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen)to warn
their younger selves (James McAvoy and
Michael Fassbender) about a dystopian future that will occur if they do not team up
to stop giant robots called Sentinels. The end of May also came with the
releases of Maleficent, a Disney film telling
the story of Sleeping Beauty from the villain’s side of the story; and A Million Ways
to Die in the West, a western comedy star-
ring Seth McFarlane as a farmer who tries
to become a hero by challenging a ruthless

same weekend of June will be the release of
the film adaptation of the novel The Fault in
Our Stars, the story of two cancer-stricken
teenagers, Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and
Augustus (Ansel Elgort), who fall in love
after meeting at a support group.
On June 13, two big sequels will
arrive at the big screen: 22 Jump Street and
How to Train Your Dragon 2. The first Jump
Street film, released in March 2012, starred
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as police
officers going undercover at a high school
to bust a drug ring; in the sequel, they do
the same thing except this time they are go-
ing to college. In the first Dragon movie, a
Viking teen named Hiccup (voiced by Jay
Baruchel) befriends Toothless, a member
of the rare dragon species Night Fury. They
bond really well and use this friendship to
end a Viking versus Dragon war. The sequel
takes place five years later when Vikings
and Dragons co-exist with one another. As
Hiccup and Toothless explore uncharted territory, they come across a relative of Hiccup
who was believed to be dead and a threat
that could ultimately destroy their world.
As the month comes to an end, a
big movie and huge box office competitor
will be released on June 27: Transformers:
Age of Extinction, the fourth instalment
about robots disguised as vehicles and modern day technology.
This flick takes place four years after the third film and follows mechanic Cade

The California Honeydrops are a blues band that formed
in 2007 playing in the subway stations of Oakland California. The
Honeydrops cross genres from
roots and blues to R&B and soul,
with their jazzy instrumentation
featuring unique instruments such
as a gutbucket base and a washboard. The group is also known
for their trumpet solos, piano riffs,
and bluesy New Orleans-style vocals. The California Honeydrops
are a perfect addition to any backyard summer playlist. Their most
recent single, “Like You Mean It”
came out in 2013 and stays true to
the groups sound born from the
humble beginnings of subway stations, smooth, classic, uplifting, as
hot as California, and as sweet as
honey. The band continues to turn
blues sceptics into believers, one
washboard at a time.

Field. The Track and Field team
also came home from the Nike
Grand Prix in Toronto as National Champions. The Ladies did
not dissapoint either as Vanessa

Senior Girls Field Hockey hit their way to the great finish
By
Lucy Garrett
With summer around the corner,
the Senior Girls Field Hockey team’s season is coming to an end. The girls have had
a decent season, improving as they grew
stronger and stronger with each practice and
game.
The poor weather that the girls
faced caused their tournament, that was supposed to be on May 1-3, to be rescheduled to
the following weekend. On Thursday, May 8
and Friday, May 9, the team played games at
Queen Elizabeth High School. On Thursday,
they played the Bishop Carroll Cardinals.
The girls gave forth their best effort throughout the game, but in end were defeated, losing 1-0. The girls did not let this loss affect
their next game and went in confidently on
the Friday against Sir Winston Churchill
High School. The game had a rough start as
rain made the field slippery and it was hard
to control the ball. Neither of the teams were
able to score throughout the game and so it
ended with a tied score of 0-0.
On Saturday, May 10, the Senior
Girls played their last game in the tournament on the University of Calgary’s fields.
