a site where people around the country can
post things that happened to them that are
anything but average. MLILJ (My Life is La
Jolla) is a site only the “La Jollan” would
understand. It is filled with funny, quirky
and sometimes just pathetic events that hap-
pen daily in LJ and give reason to the many
stereotypes placed on La Jollan residents.

features mugshots of people who have been charged
with various crimes. A charge is given on the site
and website visitors must choose between five sus-
pects who they believe to be the perpetraitor of
the alleged crime. Below are four La Jolla High
students, all of whom have described an unfortu-
nate situation in which they have been involved.
In this LJ edition of picktheperp, choose the stu-
dent by the number associated with them and match
it to the story you think belongs to them.
1. 2. 3.
The website www.fmylife.com, originally
created by a group of Frenchmen who wished to
chronicle their daily hardships, has skyrock-
eted in popularity. The site is a way for
people to share bad events that happen in their
day to day lives.
“This is a space where you can let it all out
and unwind by sharing the little things that
screw with your day, and maybe realize that you
are not alone in experiencing day to day crap”
FML website says.
Below, La Jolla High students share their
daily hardships in “MLS,” or “My Life Sucks,”
La Jolla’s own version of the website.

grenade. When I looked at the ‘kill cam’ it was some newb who threw a
random ‘nade. MLS.” Freshman Tyson Youngs.

‡ I got a referral for turning in my math notebook with male

‡ I didn’t get into Wharton so my Dad brought me home an

‡ I was walking to my locker in the 700 building and ran into
a kid walking a stuffed cat. What? MLILJ
‡ My mom took the stickers off my New Era Hat. MLILJ.
‡ Is it just me or is everyone suddenly “indie” or “emo”?
MLILJ.
‡ Every year I get pooped on by a seagull at lunch and it
always seems to land on my face. It’s really the highlight
of my year. MLILJ.
“Today, I was at my friend’s house and his older sister was there with
her baby. I poured myself a big bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and made
chocolate milk. A week later my friend’s sister was wondering where her

Track and Field is known for
combining a series of jump-
ing, throwing, and running
events that all equate to world-
renowned competitions. The
greatest part about the sport
is that all shapes and sizes are
successful because there are
events offered for everyone.
Distance Running
3200m: Senior Michael
Conroy has been a key run-
ner in Track since freshman
year. When he joined the
cross-country team in ninth
grade he discovered his talent
for running and consequently
joined the Track team. With
an impressive two-mile time of

Conroy follows his own motto
of, “The harder we work the
luckier we will be!”
“I really enjoy running, but
more importantly I know that
every woman is secretly at-
tracted to distance runners,”
Conroy said.
1600m: Junior Andrew Far-
kas attributes his success to his
dedicated coaches, “We are
very lucky to have such good
coaches, especially the distance
coach, McCarthy,” Farkas said.
His mile time of four-minutes
twenty-seven seconds is hard to
believe, but perhaps his com-
mitted attitude and competi-
tive spirit is what allows him to
do exceedingly well.
“I joined Track in the sixth

Farkas said.

and Andrew Farkas share the
fastest 800 (two laps) time of
the season, which is two min-
utes and two seconds. Each
of the distance runners enjoy
spending their time running,
especially Eve who “enjoys
getting natty (natural)” or go-
ing on nature runs for his
workouts. Neither of the run-
ners are fans of clothing since
distance running is not condu-
cive to wearing clothes.
“Distance Running: It’s not a
sport; it’s a lifestyle,” Eve said.
At the Mustang Relays, a new
record for the Distance Medley
Race (DMR) of 10:34.36 was
achieved by Conroy (1200m),
Wagner (400m), Eve (800m),
and Farkas (1600m).

talking about, in particular be-
cause of his gold medal in the
Olympics.
“After winning a race I feel
really good, successful. Track is
a lot of fun especially because
of everyone I know,” Wagner
said.
Field Events
High Jump: Both new to
track this year, junior Yuri
Ishikawa and sophomore Chris
LaChance, hold the record of

natural ability to jump high

his dedication to achieving his
best.

very accomplished,” LaChance
said.
Long Jump & Triple

Hurdles

Brettly Fletcher admits that
a friend talked him into join-
ing track this year. After trying

hurdles he realized how much
he enjoyed doing an individual

With the spring 2010 season
already in full swing, the Var-

maintaining an impressive run

Despite adjusting to the dif-
ferent style of the new coach-
es, Anthony Sirian and Evan
Bloom, and suffering an un-
fortunate setback earlier in the
season, the team is more com-
mitted than ever to achieve ev-
ery possible success.
The team, almost entirely
composed of returning players,
share a passion for their sport;
something which makes ad-
justing to new coaching styles
considerably easier. Regard-
less, the girls have embraced
this new style with enthusiasm;
they remain positive about
\PMQZ_WZSWV\PMÅMTL
As a result of the many hours
they devote to their sport, the
girls have, unsurprisingly, de-
veloped strong bonds and
friendships.
“We are all really close
friends,” sophomore Anna
Moyer said.
Many of La Jolla’s star play-
ers are more than just team
members. Many of them play
on club and travel teams as
well. It takes a lot of dedica-
tion to devote so much time to
playing softball.
The La Jolla softball team

None of the girls who play
on club teams are on the ju-
nior varsity team, all play

Amber Urias are dedicated to
the sport, and play on a trav-
el team aside from the high
school season.
Urias pitched a no-hitter
in April, a huge feat for any
pitcher.
“I practice every day and
strive to be the best pitcher
I can be. My travel team
helps me to be prepared for
my games at La Jolla High
School,” sophomore Amber
Urias said.
“Softball is life, plain and
simple,” sophomore Blair
Brice said.
Playing club ball gives the
advantage of experience and
staying sharp. Since club ball
is year round, players continue
to hone their skills after the
school’s season is over.

career is good to know if I want
to try harder and increase my
chances of getting into a good
college,” freshman William
Geary said.
Though the STAR testing
results do not directly affect
students’ grades, it does di-
rectly affect the school. With
lower STAR testing scores, the
school’s API drops.
For example, when comparing
two students with the same 3.5
GPA for admittances, colleges
will choose the student who at-
tends the school with higher
API ratings.
“It’s sad to know that the rea-
son so many people didn’t get
into college may be traced back
to STAR testing,” senior Ikaika
Velasco said.
So the bottom line is that a
lower API decreases the chanc-
es a student has to be accepted
into college.
The reason behind these re-
jections may be traced back to
those “pointless” tests from last
spring that many students hap-
pen to blow off thirty questions
in.
To avoid any mysterious re-
jection letters down the road,
perhaps it is a wise idea to take
standarized testing seriously.

The Effects of Spanking
By Amy Liew
Business Intern
Spanking has been an imme-
diate discipline many parents
resort to in order to control their
child’s behavior. Tulane Uni-
versity selected 2,500 children
across the United States to par-
ticipate in a two year research
study which has linked spank-
ing and other forms of corporal
punishment to aggressive be-
havior found in many kids.
“Spanking can lead to aggres-

might do,” junior Nicole Viloria
said.
While conducting this survey,
researchers took other forms of
violence or aggression that may
take place at home, such as use
of alcohol and drugs during
pregnancy, and maternal stress
that may affect children. About
27 percent of mothers have
used spanking more than twice
and have noticed a higher level
of aggressive behavior, includ-

According to the CollegeBoard,
65,000 illegal residents gradu-
ate from U.S. high schools each
year, but only a fraction of those
attend college each year. While
there is no federal or state law
prohibiting the admission of il-
legal residents to colleges, indi-
vidual institutions may institute
bans on admitting undocument-
ed residents, or otherwise limit

limitations.
In 2007, the DREAM (De-
velopment, Relief and Educa-
tion for Alien Minors) Act was
reintroduced in the House and
Senate. If passed, this federal
legislation would permit undoc-
umented students to begin a six-
year process leading to perma-
nent legal status if, among other
requirements, they graduate
from a U.S. high school and are
brought to the U.S. before the

To complete the process they
would, within the six-year peri-

a community college, complete
at least two years towards a four-
year degree, or serve at least two
years in the U.S. military.

Glee is a new hit television
show about a high school
glee club striving to restore
its school’s former glory. The
show is a musical, comedy, and
drama all in one. Glee is the
talk of the town, but exactly
what is all the hype about?
The series began when a high
school teacher became inspired
to transform the school’s Glee
Club into performers good
enough for the Nationals. The
teacher’s only hope lies within
two students: Rachel and Finn.
Rachel is convinced choir is
her ticket to stardom while
Finn is the typical quarterback
with an exceptional voice. The
determined teacher is out to
do whatever it takes to turn the
high school Glee Club into a
Hollywood sensation.
Glee has an average of eight
million viewers and there has
been over 4.5 million song
downloads and CDs sold. A
nationwide concert has been
announced which should only
increase memorabilia. For
example clothing, accessories,
posters, etc.
