Soccer Season
As the seasons change, winter
moves into spring and our Julian
High School athletes moving to
their spring sports; we would like
help whole community of Julian
to sit back and reflect on the
great strides the soccer program
• has made this year.
While looking at a calendar
it would seem as though the
season would drag on and on,
but in reality the season moves
faster than anyone can imagine.
The high school soccer season
is separated into four individual
areas preseason, non-league,
league matches and post season
matches and awards.
Every season begins with the
anticipation of what may happen
and this year was no different.
Riding the momentum built over
the last year, the team finished
last year with some strong
outings and the hope of things
to come. So with a bright future
on the horizon more than twenty
players began training for the
upcoming year. Among the new
arrivals are five freshmen and
several upper classmen who look
to take the program to heights
never seen before. The season
began with back-to-back wins in
both a kick-off scrimmage against
Mission Vista High School and
the first regular season game
against River Valley. With those
games, Eddie Silva (Soph), Brian
Garcia (Fr) and Jordan Postal
(Sr) showed that they were going
to be a force for the rest of the
season on offense; while our
strong defense, was going to be
anchored by Gio Santorumn (Sr)
and Jesse Lopez (Sr).
Our non-league schedule was
limited by the fact that we are in
both a large, but a very strong
league. However, our non-league
schedule was highlighted by the
entry into the Firebird tournament
over the first two days of the
winter break. The highlight of the
tournament was the final game
the team played against another
strong opponent in Maranatha
Christian. The game featured
two teams that had faced off the

Spencer Valley School Performs
A Very Shakespearian "As You Like It"
story by Lanson Moles
"All the world's a stage,"
explains Jaques (pronounced
"Jake'-qwees), "and all the men
and women merely players:
they have their exits and their
entrances; and one man in his
time plays many parts..." This
beloved Shakespearean comedy
treats fairness, forgiveness,
how urban politics can fall into
a rotten state, and the practical
and romantic aspects of love.
The 31 actors from pre-
Kindergarten to 7th Grade
presented Shakespeare's"As
You Like It" was preformed
Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday, March 29, 30, and
31. The show opened with a
discordant yet charming dance
by the Old Schoolhouse players,
grades Pre-k through 2. The
top-hatted dancers, all in black,
[ performed on a starkly black and
1 white set.
That urban landscape mirrored
the fact that the good duke had
been sent into exile by his bad
brother while tyrant Sir Oliver
disgraces the memory of his
beloved late father.
Things become prettier and
(slightly) less discordant when
the action moves to the forest
of Arden, where life is hard,
but charity prevails. While the
younger students took parts as
dancers, EMT's, and gamboling
goats, the Ritchie Hall students,
grades 3 through 7, memorized
prodigious quantities of lines,
learned their blocking, and
added their own creative ideas
for making the play funnier,
clearer for the audience, or more
dramatic.

and life sciences projects. VMF
Education Coordinator, Kathleen
Beck, taught the students about
forests from the ground up,
beginning with the soil and the
creatures that help make the soil
fertile and rich--worms! They dug
through compost for the worms
and observed them up close and
personalthrough magnifying
glasses.
This activity was followed by
songs and lessons that helped
them understand about the
importance of native plants and
our ecosystem. All students
planted native seed balls donated
by Ramona's Wildlife Research
Institute using recycled milk
cartons that they brought from
home or cups formed out of the
Julian News, which uses soy-
based inks. That means the
paper will decompose right into
the ground without too much
inorganic material entering the
soil upon plantingua recycling
lesson in itself. The seed balls
in the cups are a control study to
see what comes up.
The sixth-graders planted
cedar saplings as well as taking
some seed balls that will help
to landscape the banks of the
school campus. The seed balls
