Keep It up! -Aneesh Kuikarni To £lqSS.,pf 2005: Nui|l^^,^4|ays tuntii if 3:1 Don't ^et in trouble! W * ^at were your first 1/^ experiences like at V V NCSSM? I really had a lot of fun getting to know my room mate during the first few weeks. We were very differ ent, so we had a lot to learn from each other. He was from the mountains, and he was pretty young, actually, about 14. He was into martial arts and stuff like that. However, I was more from the city. I came from Enloe in Raleigh. Enloe was a chal lenging school to come from. There was always so much work. But I discovered when I came here that the kind of work at NCSSM was so differ ent. There were more hands- on experiments, and there was a lot of responsibility involved. I learned that pretty quickly when I overslept the first day of school. I didn’t wake up until it was the mid dle of Spanish with Dr. Houpe. It turned out that he was my academic advisor. It wasn’t a very good way to start the school year. What was your hall like and what were your friends like? Well, I was on 4th West. We were the class that started the whole “West House” thing. You see, our SLI was named Eddy Hanes. He was actually attending law school at the same time while he worked for Science and Math. So he was in a fraterni ty, and he brought a lot of that stuff to the hall. We had line ups in the hall every day, and we recited chants like “West House, Stay Strong!” My hall grew really close through all of that. It was really a bonding experience. I am still close friends with a lot of the guys I met on my hall. In fact, two of them were groomsmen in my wedding. What did you do for fiun? I was on the basket ball and track teams both years. Back then, this school played in the public school con ference, so taking that into consid eration our teams did pretty well. And in track, we were unde feated con- f e r e n c e champs. I also used to go to the Duke cam pus a lot with my friends. We hung out there just like we were college students. And of course, we went to movies and Northgate and places nearby. But I never went on many loops. There weren’t as many , loops then as there are now, so they were always filled up. Also, I went to the parks a couple times. That was fun. One of the popular restaurants to go to was called Pan Pan. They had greasy food but it was so delicious. I think they bulldozed it a while ago. What classes and teachers did you enjoy? I had Mr. Woodmansee for English, and that was one of my favorite classes. I remember when I turned in my first paper. At Enloe, it definitely would have been an A. But Mr. Woodmansee just wouldn’t give me an A. He wanted to challenge me. He knew that I was capable of doing better. I learned a lot in that class. Physics with Dr. Winters was a pretty crazy class. There was always something interest ing going on, and the exper- i m e n t s were real ly neat. I remember during one class when he shot a gun. The physics fair lab was really fun too, and I think they should Aryano Bush still do that here. I remember that I had Dr. Wilson for history. I really enjoyed that class. Before, I didn’t really appreciate histo ry, but now I’m really interest ed in it. Joe Liles was my teacher for mechanical and technical drafting. My room mate and I had that class together and we had so much fun in that class. I don’t think Mr. Liles knew how much we liked it, because we used to come in a little late sometimes. But in fact, my roommate went on to study architecture in college because of that class. Wax there any event that was really memorable from NCSSM? Well, I do have an interesting story. One day after basketball I was eating in the grill with my friend. It was late, and the cafeteria was already closed, but we decided to sneak into the back to get a drink. Then we see a cafeteria lady coming. I slouch down behind the drink machine. But she sees my friend and she catches him. I started running away and she saw me and she started to follow me. I didn’t think that she was really going to chase me, so I was just sort of jogging. But I turn around and I see that she’s really run ning after me, and she’s knocking down chairs every where. That’s when I picked up the pace, and I managed to escape. She never figured out who I was. She was one funny cafeteria lady. Don’t worry, tfidughrsh^ doesli'f t^rkliere anymore. : “Then & Now,” continued on page 3 IZack Armfield Aryano takes a break from workservice in the PFM. “Responds,” continued from ■ page 1 home with many Americans, and not just those directly affected through the loss of loved ones. The $350 million promised by The U.S. has already been matched by the contributions of Americans. “It’s one of those uniting events, like 9/11,” observed senior Ryan McLinko. “It’s a catastrophe, and the way that people came together for a common pur pose and gave so much, it’s wonderful.” “I think that the pledging is great, as long as the countries keep their word,” said senior Chloe Weatherill. “Usually, when something horrible like this happens, peo ple start to forget about it after a week.” Many of the main stream charity organizations such as the Red Cross immedi ately began accepting dona tions to go directly to relief efforts. However, in the after- math of the tsunami, many false charity organizations began appearing and asking for money. The FBI and simi lar agencies in foreign coun tries have stepped up efforts to combat these scams. The United States military, which had con tributed to the relief effort with the deployment of some 15,000 troops to the affected areas, announced on, January 20 it would begin to scale back its aid contribution and trans fer control over to internation al organizations and govern ments of target countries. However, the troops will remain in the area to assist with relief efforts. There is no word yet on when the troops will be pulled out of the area. Some NCSSM stu dents have more of a cormec- tion to this disaster than oth ers. “My family is from Vietnam, so it was really scary at first,” recalled junior Toan Tran-Phu. “A lot of the coun tries that were hit are very sim ilar to Vietnam economically. Famines, droughts, and floods are all devastating, but this just killed so many people. I was shocked.” Senior Blake Bommelje echoed his feelings. “[The disaster] seemed really distant until I started seeing pictures of it, especially the before-and-after pictures,” he said. “To know that millions of people were living in this green and luscious area, and then they were just gone - it was surreal.”
