Dear Editor,
I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate Mrs. Johnson and all of the many things she does for our school. Not once have I left the library disappointed, or without the help of not only a book, but perhaps some guidance. That is of course discounting the unfortunate occasions when she is not there when I go to visit. From intriguing lessons on how to navigate the VRC, to book discussions and suggestions, I have learned tremendously throughout my few years here and Im sure that I am not the only one. Libraries offer so much to schools and to communities, so much more than just books. Not only will the intellects of us students be lost without her next year, but so too will the joy in seeing her warm smile every visit to the library. Enjoy your venture to Germany Mrs. Johnson. We will miss you greatly next year. With love, Jackie Davey
Dear Editor,
Personally, I think that teachers in this school tend to give way too much homework. I take a lot of pride in my work, causing me to feel the need to do all of my assignments to the best of my ability. This is a hard topic to argue, though, because I know that there are few people besides me in this school who care as much about their work as I do. I feel that I always have to do all of my work to the best of my ability, so I am often forced to lose sleep in order to fulll this standard. I am miserable each night when I come to the realization that I will be up past 10:00 and up early the next morning usually around 5:00 just to nish the work that my teachers intended to only take twenty minutes per subject. On the other hand, though, there are many people who take a half hour total to nish their homework, yet they re-
ceive the same amount of credit. So which is betHave you seen the fantastic and exter? Caring too much or not caring at all? tremely artistic photographs and paintings hanging around the school?

Dear Editor,
Now a days everyone has Smartphones, whether if its IPhones, androids, or any other Smartphone it will connect to the internet. Every time I want to go to the computer lab its booked because of classes doing simple research on something they could be doing a project on. If we had free wi, students and teachers could easily connect from their Smartphones, IPads, or laptops and do their research right in the classroom instead of wasting all the computers in the computer lab on it. People who actually have to write their papers and use Word to do PowerPoints are now having that time snatched away from them. I understand that we have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), but you need a password for it and only select classes get to participate. Why not just make the wi connection public for everyone if its already there? If anything it will probably cause kids to actually accomplish the work that they acquire from the teacher or maybe even nish it early because they can start it right away in the classroom instead of being distracted. If we had free wi, it would make for the custodians? Do they actually think theyre being funny? Like some idiot will walk into the bathroom and laugh because theres trash in the urinal? Its not funny at all; its not even a prank. Theres no creativity involved; its just nonsense. I demand to know who is responsible for this. I picture a lanky, misshapen bunch of pre- adolescents from the junior high who gather around the urinals and cackle to watch something be thrown in. Then they scurry out of the bathroom, snorting and chuckling to each other, thinking this is a hilarious prank theyve just pulled. My other suspect could be a lone vandal, who, with a heart full of hatred, goes into the bathroom with the intentions of vandalism. To whoever is doing this, just stop it. Your lame little gags are going to force us all to sign into the bathroom again. And if youre still Dear Editor, thinking of doing it when this paper comes out, Too often, when I go into the up- just know that you have me on your trail. stairs boys bathroom, I look into a urinal and see trash staring back at me. Why does this keep hapDan Stahl pening? Ive seen toilet paper, slugs, iers, pencils, pens, and coins; anything capable of tting into the urinal. Im always confused when I see it. What do these people want? Are they angry at the school? Do they want to make more work students lives so much easier along with making their time more useful. Since students lives would be easier, in conclusion so would the teachers. Everything is through wireless technology in todays world, so why doesnt Southold just warp into the 21st century already? Or at least give it a try. If it doesnt work out and they see it being taken advantage of, they can always set the wi back up with a password rather than having it public to everyone. This decision wouldnt have to be permanent, but it would denitely be worth a try. Yours, Katelyn Suskevich

Goodbye Mrs. Englebright: Our Earth Science Guru
Most of us like the teachers that dont give a lot of homework and are easy going. Mrs. Englebright gives homework almost every night. She also has very high expectations for her students. Yet anyone who has been a student in Southold knows that taking Earth Science with Mrs.Englebright makes you a better student. Thats why she was by far my favorite teacher freshman year. Mrs. Englebright has been teaching for thirty-eight years and Southold Jr/Sr high school was lucky enough to have her for twenty-one of those years. In college, Mrs. Englebright majored in earth science and space science. As far back as she can remember she has always wanted to be a teacher. Education has gone through many changes since Mrs. Englebright rst entered the classroom. She believes, One of the biggest changes is the emphasis on testing-there are too many tests given at every grade level which has had a negative impact on the classroom experience. Another big change is the inclusion classes. All students were grouped in separate classes by ability when I began teaching the mid 1970s. Besides the change in curriculum, the change in her students was also incredible. Mrs. Englebright turned the average just-getting-by student into a straight A student. She pushed her students to do great because she knew everyone could be the best as long as they applied themselves. As students, we complain about useless information that we have to learn. Earth science is relevant to everyday life. For example, weather is Mrs.Englebrights favorite topic to teach due to its relevance and how often you use it in life. The great friendships I have made, is how Mrs.Eng-
lebright described her fondest memories as a teacher. She is retiring, but the legacy of her teaching skills, great classroom, prep room, and ofce will remain. She plans on spending her time playing with her grandchildren, spending time on the beach in Florida and hiking the mountains in upstate New York. Mrs. Englebright will be truly missed and she ends her year with advice for prospective teachers: Work hard every day and have high expectations for your students.
As we say our goodbyes to the seniors at the end of the school year, we also must say farewell to many other familiar faces of Southold High School. One of these faces includes a man who has walked through these hallways for longer than Ive walked the earth. A 30-year teacher of the Southold-Greenport school districts, it has come time to say goodbye to Mr. Gary Selander. Growing up in Queens, Mr. Selander remembers family and friends discussing current events, politics and history at family gatherings. He was fascinated by the wide range of opinions that were expressed by the different people he knew. At this young age, a love for social studies began to take root. Yet before beginning his career as a teacher, Mr. Selander took a

32 Years Teaching + Love for Students = Mr. Marshall
By; Will Tondo
If you walk down the warm halls of the Jr. High wing, occasionally youll hear the sweet notes of a mathematicians guitar ringing through the air. Little gurines surround his classroom and the projector screen is down with another math equation to solve. You are welcomed in by a huge smiling face and years of experience by the one and only Mr. Don Marshall. With thirty-two years of teaching experience under his belt, he leaves Southold with a warm goodbye and begins another chapter of his life book. When did you start in Southold? I started in Southold in 1999. I rst taught in Brooklyn, East NY, beginning in 1981 for ve years, then after that, I was in Hempstead H.S for 15 years and the rest in little Southold. Is that a long time? (Laugh) Do you enjoy it? I loved it. I still love it. I have to admit, even though I dont have the energy like I used to have, Im better at the te0do big security gigs and concerts. I used to pick up the rock stars from the airport and bring them to the Civic Center and their hotels. We were like body guards. Ive met some very interesting people like Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Rod Stewart, and Elizabeth Taylor. It was awesome. That was a very interesting time of my life. Then I wanted to start my own business. I went to Wall Street a few times but nothing appealed to me. So the city was looking for math teachers, and I had some experience, so thats where I started. And now here I am. I still dont know what I want to do when I grow up them sleep. One of our kids has ADHD, so music helped calm him down. About 20 years ago, I read a theory that in education, music helped the brain function well, especially in mathematics. So I said why not. I played soft music when the kids worked and when they were testing. No matter how bad I was, the kids loved it. I dont play guitar, I play at it. Even though Im bad, you guys never insulted me. So I still do it. (Laugh) What are your retirement plans? I still dont know what I want to do when I grow upspend time with family and friends, volunteer to help others, continue to be of service to my community, learn to play a better guitar and go to the beach. What do you think will be your legacy? I always tried to be honest, receptive, sensitive to individual needs and interesting; realizing that the most important reason Im here is for the students. I tried to make it all fun! Many students look up to Mr. Marshall as an amazing inuence and mentor. His advice to younger teachers is, Keep a sense of humor, LISTEN, and dont ever get angry. Once you get upset, youve lost. As we say goodbye to Southolds long time friend, we want to thank Mr. Marshall for all he has done here in the past fteen years. We will miss him and his strings plucking out, in perfect mathematical time, the Beatles Blackbird.
(laughs). Its crazy! I feel like Im 23 years old inside. Its scary to retire but so wonderful. Im very excited as is my wife. Im ready and its my time. God says its time to move on. The old saying is If you want to see God laugh, tell him your life plans. Its true! When did you start playing Guitar? I started when my kids were young to help

A Farwell to our Welcoming Presence
By Jackie Davey
The lovely Mrs. Karam is leaving us this year. We will miss her bright smile early each morning, and her diligence in always keeping our hallways safe. For twelve years she has brightened both the elementary and the high school with her presence. One step at a time, she has made our school district a better place. Her simple smile and greeting as we enter the building goes a long way- especially on a tough day or on a dragging Monday. The Sentinel interviewed Mrs. Karam about her thoughts as she enters this new phase of her life. Did you have any other jobs before you came to work here? I worked as a Social Worker for 11 years, counseling teenagers, adoptive parents, and hard to place foster children. I then opened my own estate liquidation business in conjunction with an antique shop. I conducted antique appraisals for attorneys in Akron, and Hudson, Ohio for another 15 years while matriculating for my M.Ed. at The Kent State University. When you were in high school, what were your biggest dreams? In high school aside from a few delusional dreams about being discovered as an actress, etc, I knew that I wanted to work with people or with animals in need of help. Growing up in my home there was always the stray dog or kitten. This would send my father ranting, but somehow those abandoned pets always managed to stay. I have always wanted to travel and have enjoyed living outside the Continental United States on two occasions. What are some of you fondest memories working here? Helping to establish the Southold Schools Garden and being the Adviser to the Farmers Market for our student volunteers are two of my most memorable achievements. This group of students is quite independent. They forged ahead with the projects that interested them most about the Market. Choosing their own projects increased their motivation and critical thinking skills ten fold. Students learned about local history, farm economics, photography, writing, displaying and selling produce, keeping books, interacting with the public, learning sound nutrition, and they are now beginning to do a fund raising project. These are bright and wonderful young people from the 6th grade and Middle School, and they are truly A hearty congratulation goes out to the staff of Southolds Sentinel who came home from the Long Island Press High School Journalism Award ceremony big winners. The event was held on May 22nd at Hofstra University where schools from across Long Island competed in a myriad of categories. Over 1,200 submissions were judged and The Sentinel received ten awards. They were as follows: Julia Grizadas earned a second place award in the Arts Review category for her article Must Reads. Jackie Davey also earned a second place award in the Editorial category for her article Saved in the Nick of Time. Dan Stahl came in second place in the Investigative Journalism category for his article Hallway Trafc. Dan also received an honorable mencapable of projects well above their grade level. Being the liaison for projects that blend upper elementary and middle school curriculum with the garden has been a most challenging but rewarding experience that has beneted these students. We hope these projects will increase in the future. Then of course there is THE CLASS OF 2010. Everyone knows I will always hold fond memories for that class! What are some of the biggest changes youve experienced while working here? The change in the administration was a long time coming. I am mostly satised with that change almosphere at the entrance to school should be welcoming and pleasant. I think parents, community members, and students should view the school as a place where they belong and that they respect. Most students are responsive and respectful. They stop by for a visit or to ask for some occasional advice. I have tried to model responsible social behavior and have encouraged them to examine their conduct and to make good choices. I would like to say that the Avon Calling bell is bothersome to both teachers and those at the welcome desk. I hope that many of the students receive their own swipe I.D. card by the fall! What do you plan to do after you retire? I have no plans for a 2nd career after I retire. I live in a home where the water, the sunsets and the stars will offer me quiet entertainment for years to come. I do plan to sleep until about 9:30 a.m. everyday for a few months. The summer will be a time for visiting with friends and family. I will probably go to the city often and then to Maine. I will also be going to Ohio in early July to celebrate the retirement of a very close friend who was my daughters high school biology teacher. I will never forget the day I visited the class, and they were dissecting sharks! In early fall I will go back to Ohio to celebrate the retirement of another good friend who is leaving her job as the Executive Director of the Tuesday Musical Program at The University of Akron. It seems as if we all had the same idea at the same time! Mid-Fall or next spring brings Paris into my sights. I think that is enough for now. I am getting tired thinking about all of this! What do you think will be your legacy? I have no illusions about leaving a legacy at Southold High School. I think that will not happen. If certain students and a few teachers think of me as an open minded and intelligent person who buffered some difcult times for people and who had a love of students, a respect for teachers and staff, and a desire to see us all make ourselves proud, think fairly, and act justly: well that would be a lot to ask but it is something to aim for. Try it. Be well everyone. Au revoir! Thank you, Mrs. Karam, for everything that you have done for our school and for us students; for giving courage to those in doubt, for helping people nd their way, and for turning every bad day into a good one with your kind words and encouragement. tion in the Format Buster category for his Wildlife/Human Legal Contract. Justina Babcock and Shannon Quinn got an honorable mention in the School News category for their article New Prices, New Proportions, Same Cellar. Shelby Pickerell article, A Locks Lamentation, earned a second place award in the Storytelling category. In the Photography category, both Will Tondo and James Penney won second place awards for their pictures of the Europe trip and Grease respectively. Nicole Busso and Halle Murphy received a third place award in the Technology category for their article BYOD Whats That?. Finally, Aidan Mancini, a 2012 graduate, earned rst place for his illustration Senior Map, from the June 2012 edition of The Sentinel. Way to go
though currently I think it is sometimes difcult to know where one stands. Still, such an atmosphere calls for all of us to be more thoughtful about our actions, and that ,I think ,is part of the nature of any good learning institution that is attempting to foster responsible behavior. Does working at the welcome desk give you a different perspective on the school? Unlike some people, I have enjoyed my time at the welcome desk. It has been a pleasure to meet and talk with the parents of students and community members. My thought is that the at-

Try Something New!
By:Julia Bradford
Are you sick of the cycled radio hits, the songs that you hear almost every ve minutes of your life? Dont forget that there are crazy amounts of artists that need your attention, that frankly deserve more attention than any of the artists on the radio. This list will guide you on the discovery on new bands that are worth your time. First an Australian band that blends nostalgic rock and Neo-psychedelia, Tame Impala. Their new sophomore LP Lonerism, Tame Impala has been praised by Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, Tyler the Creator, and Danny Devito. Tracks to check out would have to be Elephant and Feels like we only go backwards. This little band from Perth is run by Kevin Parker who basically plays every instrument in the recording process but gets help from his buddies to play live. His buddies also run bands down in Perth such as Pond (not confusing it with the grunge band from Portland) and The Growl. Impressions are that they run their own little commune of musicians in Perth. This band will want you to invent a time machine just so you can go back to 60s and listen to the music that inuenced Tame Impala. Grizzly Bear is not a new band but a great one. This Brooklyn band has been around since 2007. They use their folk sound to reach the heart of every listener. All extremely talented they have mastered more than three albums giving them a cult following. The albums to denitely check out would have to be Veckaimest and their most recent LP, Shields. With their soaring harmonies they leave the listener to really appreciate every song they have created. If you are in the mood to chill to soft folk music, Grizzly Bear has to be the best option. If you are a fan of heavier music, Grizzly Bear might be less appealing to you but are a band to be appreciated. Another band that it not so new but deserves innite credit has to be English Band Foals. This band was titled Math- rock with their debut Antidotes back in 2008, but now they have shied away from that title. Their most famous song is Spanish Sahara which is on their second album Total Life Forever, a seven minute song of emotion. Many worried that they wouldnt be able to follow up on such a success of that song but with their recent album that came out in February showed that they can conquer all. Their album titled Holy Fire has hit singles such as Inhaler and My number. Like Radiohead, they never stick with their sound, every album is unique. I recently saw them in New York City in and they have to be the best live band I have seen. They know how to control the stage, making it their territory. Search YouTube, search iTunes, search through any vessel. These three bands are only a few out of a whole world of music that has not been discovered. It takes minutes to come across a fantastic band of any genre, so get out there and search!

Prom
A Mystical Night
By: Leah LaFreniere
Once upon a mystical Friday night, young townspeople gathered from ye ole Southold and partied the night away at the Pridwin in Shelter Island. They were driven in their enormous chariots and were dolled up to the tens; young women in their glamorous dresses, and men in their luxury suits. A night like this was a night to remember, a night forever to be known as Prom night. The theme of this years prom was Mystical. Lanterns hung overhead all around the venue and the artist centerpieces had bright blue beads that held the fragile twigs and peacock feathers. Two special guests with a mystical talent read the palms of the students, guiding them into their futures. Could the palm readers see whether or not the students were enjoying their time? Many agree that this prom night was something to always be cherished, but some believe there were things that they wished they could have changed. Katie Connolly, a Southold junior, said, The food at prom was really good. Everything went smoothly throughout the night and the location went well with the theme. She went on, The DJ didnt make me want to go out and dance at all and when the drums came, I enjoyed them but I just wished there would have been some more slow dances. Another Southold junior, Katelyn Suskevich, agreed. Prom looked really pretty and the food and decorations were spectacular. I give the Student Council a lot of props. You could see their hard work that night. And the sunset was beautiful. I think I took a hundred pictures with it out on the deck. On a more critical note, she added, I wish the DJ would have been hot and that he would have known how to play the right music. The dance oor was really small. I felt like I was in a cofn. Dean Albergo, another junior, agreed, We needed a new DJ. The dance oor could have been bigger, but other than that, the venue was relaxed. Members of the Student Council were pleased with the event. Abby Sharadin, junior class treasurer, said, It took a lot of hard work and time to make the night into what everyone wanted. But no one knows how hard it is to make something that everyone wants. It was a challenging theme, but I think as a team, we were able to do it. Abby explained that the location was a winner. The council fell in love with it right away and knew that it would be a hit. Guiliana Buono, junior class president, added, It was hard to nd decorations for this theme without making it look cheesy. Our goal was to keep prom as classy as possible. A shout out goes out to the Student Council members, Guiliana Buono, Michael Schade, Jessica Rizzo and Abby Scharadin and to class representatives Jamie Grigonis and Katie Kurkowski for all of their hard work and dedication. Every year, prom is an event that wants to top itself from the year before, so we advise the junior class of 2013 2014 to take our opinions into consideration and work hard to make a killer prom.
