New activities director is here to stay

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Most schools try to handle all their activities under one ASB advisor in one year. A few unlucky schools may have to transition between two advisors in a year. But few schools ever have ever had to work with three different ASB advisors in one year as we have this ...

Camels, queens and other things

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

When I heard I was nominated for top 5 I couldn’t believe it. Being a homecoming princess was something you usually only expect in movies. I was completely flabbergasted. After dancing in the homecoming float every year before, finishing out high school as a princess could not have made me ...

High Times at Tesoro High

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

There is a drug problem in our community. And it’s not just affecting the lonely, troubled edgy kid who never seems to say anything in class. It’s affecting every demographic. The jocks, the AP students, the slackers, the ASB kids, the girls, the boys, the band kids, the party kids, ...

Food for Thought

Friday, October 10th, 2008

“Cafeteria food sucks.” “It’s the worst.” “I can’t stand the cafeteria food” – says the student buying a chicken wrap. In all my four years at Tesoro, I can’t say that I’ve ever been significantly partial to campus cuisine; though not four-star, it is substantial. However, recent arguments not only ...

The Life of a Freshman

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

We all have felt that feeling: the horror, the embarrassment, the feeling of being too small in a place that is too big for you. It is the feeling of being a freshman, stepping into the world of high school. “Back in middle school, you were the big fish in the ...

Super Tuesday

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Tuesday, February 5th, was the day thousands of California voters, including some Tesoro students, went to the polls to pick their choice for the Democrat or Republican president nominee. With a wide range to choose from and the race so close, this election is the most important for our generation. ...

Dodgeball 2008

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Get ready to duck again, Tesoro Titans, because dodgeball is back. Although the month of March may seem painfully longer than one like December because of its lack of school holidays, it is also the month of the five D’s: dodge, duck, dip, dive and…well, dodge again.

Winter Formal 2008

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

It can be terrifying for a boy to ask that one special girl to that one special dance. Winter Formal is around the corner and the tables have turned, leaving the girls terrified. The trick is not to panic and just to focus on channeling an inner creative side and ...

Winter Wonderland

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Snowboarding has taken over. Even through the halls of Tesoro, where sub-sixty degree temperatures are unheard of, one might hope that skiers and riders might live in harmony. Unfortunately, it is quite the opposite. Ostracized are the youth skiers of today, as riders have staked their claim atop, and all ...
