Parkside Assembly at West!
By Emily Guiffra
Theater Knights and the Music Department are teaming up for an assembly Friday on December 18th, 2015. Parkside will be visiting West to see a presentation on the music and theatre programs. Which will be presented in the Auditorium!
Ms.Wilks is the music department teacher and Ms.Holmes is the theater department teacher as well as an English teacher.
I talked with Ms.Wilks to get a better understanding of the assembly.
"This is an annual assembly. Which is usually after the instrumental concert. We usually have the stands and the set up from the night before, so it makes things easier. We do an assembly for Parkside because it shows what the music department is like at West. The auditorium is a good opportunity for Parkside because the sound is different."
It seems like a lot of the time we take the auditorium for granted. Parkside Middle school doesn't have one, so usually the first thing they notice is the different sound.
The groups performing are Band, Jazz band, Chamber, and Orchestra. Or as Ms.Wilks says, "Capsuel of what we do."

Wrestling match
On Monday, December 14th at 6:15pm the wrestling team traveled to Pinkerton Academy, where Freshman, Amman Mahir had his first match and this is what his coach, David Langlois, had to say, "In his wrestling debut, Freshman Amman Mahir, won all four of his Junior varsity matches. Three by pin fall as he defeated wrestlers from Division I, Timberlane and Pinkerton." Congratulations on a great start Amman Mahir, we look forward to what you will be able to achieve through out this season and your years here at West High!

JV girls basketball game
On Friday, December 11th at 4:00pm the girls JV basketball team kicked off their season by playing at home against Pembroke Academy! Our girls fought hard but found their is much to improve on, understandably after their very first game and being it was against a team that is expected to do very well this year. With that is mind, the scores were, Pembroke Academy- 37 and West- 12. JV head coach Greg Cotreau says "Turnovers in this game proved costly. To many long, not crisp passes led to several lay ups for Pembroke. If we can limit our turnovers, we'll improve greatly." Greg does have much hope for this year and thinks the girls could do very well as the season goes on! Greg also wanted to recognize Freshman, Alyssa Hanel for leading the team scoring wise with 7 points! Great job to all of the girls JV basketball team for this well fought battle and remember, keep your heads up, there are many more battles to come! Keep working hard, we believe in you!

Varsity girls basketball game
On Friday, December 11th at 5:30pm the girls Varsity basketball team kicked off their season by playing at home against Pembroke Academy! Our girls fought hard, but like the JV girls team, they have much to improve on. And again, Pembroke is a team that is expected to do very well over all this year. Again, with this in mind, the scores were, Pembroke- 42 and West- 20. Assistant coach of the varsity team Greg Cotreau says, "we missed a lot of open shots, the third quarter is what hurt us in this game. If we make some of those shots and score a bit in the third quarter, the outcome could have been different." Again, Greg has much hope this year and thinks the girls could do very well as the season goes on! Greg also wanted to recognize Junior, Emily Keefe for leading the team scoring wise with 9 points! Great job to all of the girls varsity team for this well fought battle and remember, keep your heads up, there are many more battles to come! Keep working hard, we believe in you!

Faculty Talent Show
By: Samuel Gagne, Becka St Cyr, Brittany Prive
On December 11th, starting at 6:30 p.m. the first ever West High Faculty Talent Show will take place in the Robert A. Bains auditorium. Admission is $5 per person. Many of the faculty members will be showing off their talent to the school. Right now there are about 11 acts and during intermission there will be a bake sale. Acts include singing, dancing, and other amazing performances.
"Teachers are always asking students to put themselves out there. This is teachers finally putting themselves out there," said Ms. Joy, explaining why the faculty talent is taking place, "I think it is amazing that the teachers are putting themselves out there." All of the teachers say that they are very excited for the talent show, and hope to see everyone there.
Mrs. Balch, Mr. Motika, Munchkin Melodies and the Weststreet Dance crew will be performing. Come by to see these amazing performances and witness the event of your life. "Be gentle, and remember we are doing this for you guys because we care about you," said Ms. Joy. You won't want to miss it!
Mrs. Passanissi and Ms. Joy performed two acts together. One act of friendship, and another while dancing to "All About that Bass". Ms. Dubois twirled her baton. The Munchkin Melodies did a little skit with their hands and feet. Mr. Yusef sang his heart out to "All I Want For Christmas", but that isn't the only thing people noticed. People also noticed his green t-shirt and santa boxers! Mrs. Balch awed the crowd with a self-written poem. Ms. Joy and Ms. Mahone told their stories about break ups. Mrs. Francoeur played the piano and sang two songs, one in memory of her Dad, and one for the spirit of West. The Weststreet Dance Crew rocked the show by dancing to Uptown Funk, The Whip, and Gangnam Style. The West Side Story group danced with masks on, while making fun of some of the staff. And lastly, Mr. Moktika played with an old buddy of his. The crowd loved them. The crowd even got Mr. Motika to sing!!
The Faculty Talent Show was a great experience. It brought teachers and students together. Great job to all of the performers. With the success with this years first ever Faculty Talent Show, there is bound to be another!
