![Listening to junior and unofficial marriage officiant Gillian Davis, senior Seaira Knight and junior Lana Hughes practice for their “wedding.” Having met in middle school, Knight and Hughes developed a close, platonic relationship that became mistaken as romantic over the years. “Everyone thinks we’re dating, so it became a joke. [On] Valentine’s Day, it became a fake proposal. That’s how the whole ‘marriage joke’ started,” Hughes said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC_0041-900x600.jpg)

During the season, Wunderlich’s bone hit against her hip labrum and re-tore the muscle. “I played the entire season and had surgery the Tuesday after [the last game].

![Holding hand-made signs in front of St. Louis City Hall, sophomore Maura Collins, senior Sabrina Bohn, juniors Ulaa Kuziez, Abby Caudill, Zoe Rutledge and Gillian Davis and senior Jack Carusa protest against inaction on environmental crises during school hours Sept. 20. Kuziez participated in the organization of the climate strike to plan out the logistics of the walkout and facilitate greater high school involvement. “The climate crisis is obviously the biggest threat to our lives and to our future. I still don’t think many people are treating it as a crisis, but it’s imminent, and it’s already happening right now,” Kuziez said. “A lot of the things [the speakers] were talking about was new information, so I treated it as a learning experience so I could become more educated about the issue. One of the speakers talked about how the climate crisis is fueled by capitalism and greed from fossil fuel companies who care about profits [more than] people. Her speech was talking about how it is important to think about the climate crisis as an extension of these capitalistic, colonial systems.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_4940-900x600.jpg)
![During a free period, new chemistry teacher Chloe Gallaher reviews basic chemistry information with senior Charlotte Zera.

![Decked out in Longhorn Cheer gear with pom-poms in hand, senior Jackson Barnhart perfects a toe touch. Barnhart was chosen as one of the judges' top five competitors. "[I was] very surprised because I wasn't trying to win. I was doing [Mr. Longhorn] to just have a good time with my bros and embarrass myself for charity," Barnhart said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/DJ8A9857-copy-e1551459288512-900x639.jpeg)

![At last year’s Homecoming, juniors Anjali Shah and Ashley Chai sport their new dresses at Queeny Park. Chai bought her dress from Tobi.com for $24. “Tobi literally has the same dresses every year, so finding a dress I like for an affordable price [is the most difficult thing about Homecoming],” Chai said. “I look for websites that aren’t sketchy and brands I know I can trust.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IMG_9192-900x675.jpg)
![Chipping her ball at a target, junior Ava Pfeil shows off her skills at Red and Blue night. This is her first year on the team, one of six new people on JV. “I decided to join [golf] because I wanted to do another sport in the fall [in addition to cheer] and golf seemed like the most fun one because you can chill with friends and relax,” Pfeil said. “My favorite part of the season has been the team bonding because since we’re a small team we can get really close.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ava-900x600.jpg)
