Davis Senior High School 2010 Senior Awards Night

Coordinated by Julie Clayton

Scholarship and Financial Aid Office

The senior Powder Puff team swarmed around a mass of fleeing junior women, flinging water balloons and firing squirt guns as the majority of juniors fled toward Yudin field. The water attack was a preamble to Wednesday’s upcoming Powder Puff showdown.

While in past years, some juniors have claimed the game was “fixed” to ensure a senior win, the junior women’s Powder Puff coach Clayton Jimenez expects a victory from his players. “Obviously the juniors are going to win… We have better coaching staff and a lot more athletic ability,” Jimenez said.

Xotchil Sarabia, on the other hand, would put her money on the seniors. Sarabia explained that not only does the senior team have some phenomenal athletes, but many players on the team also have experience from playing in last year’s game. “And yeah,” Sarabia said, “the refs will probably help us out a little bit.”

How They Do It – Sports videos about athletes at DHS

This weekend students flocked to the UCD quad for the annual Whole Earth Festival. For some students whole earth is more than just tie dye and peace necklaces. It’s a chance to `volunteer for Karma Patrol.

Karma Patrol is the “superfunkadelic love glue” that is the backbone of the Whole Earth Festival, according to the festivals web page. Patrollers make sure vendors are following regulations, while helping set up and take down stages and cleaning dishes.

“You can just go to a couple of volunteer meetings, they take everyone,” sophomore Nick Howell said.

For Howell, Karma Patrol is a new way to get involved with a festival he has loved since childhood. “I’ve been going for 11 years. I love the Whole Earth Festival and wanted to help out.”
