One of 2,085 GBHS students is randomly selected every issue: Riley Unverferth, senior

Gazette: What is your favorite Winter Olympic Sport?
Skeleton, because it looks the most fun, and I try to do it on my long board.

 

What is your favorite Pokémon from the original first season?
Raichu! It has a really cool tail, and his name kind of sounds like mine.

What kind of safari animal would you like to have as a pet?
A lion. They’re my favorite animals, hands down.

What is your favorite day of the week and why?
Friday, because I get to see my friends at school and also have a good time at night.

If you became a millionaire over night, what would you spend your money on?
A helicopter, a giant cage, and a tranquilizer gun to capture that lion I was talking about. Then, I would spend the rest of the money on a tattoo of my newly captured pet on my chest!

Rock, paper, or scissors?
Rock because it beats both, no matter what anyone says.

As a kindergartner what did you want to be when you grow up?
A Burger King employee… I’m not really sure why.

    Benefits of an early start in learning foreign languages

    In the European Union, 50 percent of the population is fluent in more than one language, compared to a mere 25 percent in the United States. All nations in the European Union, in fact, aside from Ireland and Scotland, require students to take foreign language classes. Instead of categorizing language classes as electives, Europeans consider these classes part of a student’s core and place special emphasis on language in the lower grade levels. In around 80 percent of these nations, [...]

    Grizzlies Make History

    The football left the hand of senior Granite Bay High School quarterback Brendan Keeney and arched through the clear, cold sky under the watchful stare of thousands of fans at Sacramento State University. The ball seemed to hang in midair, leaving the feeling that the entire season could be hanging on the outcome of this one play, called “Back Pass Right Y Dancer.” GBHS had gone up 10-0 in the early stages of the Sac-Joaquin Section Div. I championship, but [...]

    Grizzly gets students in an up…ROAR

    What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks of Granite Bay High School? Grizzlies. Being the backbone of any school’s personality, a mascot is what produces school spirit, motivates sports teams and ultimately affects the way people view the school. So what do the students here at GBHS think of the ever-so-humble grizzly that belongs to our school? Most of the students here would agree that this beast of an animal does an accurate job at reflecting [...]

    Young Player Takes the Field by Storm

    Sophomores are so rare on the varsity football team that neither of the Granite Bay High School alumi currently playing in the NFL were chosen to play varsity football as a sophomore. Yet sophomore Tony Ellison was brought up to be a flyback for varsity football. “Some people are just born with talent. Ellison is one of those people,” defensive backs coach Mike Valentine said. “I was blessed with great skill and speed and I work really hard at what [...]

    Importance of Senior Year Underestimated

    Every student knows how high school is supposed to work: freshman, sophomore and junior year slowly build up the workload and, consequently, the stress. But once the last year of high school arrives and rigorous course work has already been completed in the first three years, seniors are as good as done. At least that is what many students think. Senior year is actually the most important time to impress colleges. Granite Bay High School principal Michael McGuire created a [...]

    Struggling with offensive stereotypes

    Within the confines of a culinary class, it would not generally be considered unusual for one student to warn another not to walk too close to the many ovens around the room. However, when it happened to senior Sam Holzer, the cautionary remark was perceived as hurtful and offensive. Holzer is of the Jewish faith, and the comment had been made by a would-be comedic fellow student who meant to reference the gas chambers and subsequent cremation tactics used by [...]

    An epic pie-gobbling extravaganza

    Pumpkin pies can be a delicious fall favorite, or turn into a pretty nasty dish in a pie eating competition. Needless to say, the Gazette’s first ever “Gazette vs.” challenge was a hilarious success. For the first challenge the Gazette staff took on the yearbook staff in a fall pumpkin pie eating contest. The girls started off our competition, with female Gazette representatives junior Brooklyn Klepl and senior Olivia Cornell pitted against yearbook senior Bridgette Galarza and junior Jenny Woo.
