Engineering Club has marshmallow tower competition
The Engineering Club met once again after-school to make towers, not with welded metal framework, but with toothpicks and marshmallows. About twenty to thirty high school students, mostly underclassmen from the QPS and Chemistry Honors classes met in C318 today after school. The group’s leaders, Jen Ho (’11), Catherine Yu (’11), Iris Lee (’11) and Allison King (’11) gave the group a demonstration and then let the club members split into five different groups to compete in building the tallest tower using the sticky white sweets. After judging the towers, club member Vivian Qin (’11) and King discussed the basic structure necessary and tips to maximize the toothpick towers’ heights.
King describes the club as “hectic, but [feels that] most people have fun”. And the club will have even more fun when, two weeks from today, the group meets for the last time of the year for an end-of-the-year party.

East in Action in the midst of planning legislative breakfast
Today, as President of East in Action, Shayna Golkow (’10) helped lead her club in F064, they furthered their plans for the annual legislative breakfast in April. Each year the club invites several local and federal legislative members to sit down for a presentation to educate them about a non-profit organization.
This year, East in Action is partnering with Robin’s Nest, an organization that helps with foster care and adoption. Particularly today the club was lucky enough to welcome one of Robin’s Nest ‘s members, who gave the club an example presentation which would help the club with their own in April.
Next meeting, the club will further plan this annual event with committees formed in the meeting.
That’s so PUNNY.

Eastside Salon Rouge Makeover: Nicolle
Oftentimes when I would look at myself in the mirror, I realized that I had nothing really special going on about my look. The day members of Eastside were chosen to have a makeover, I thought that it would be the perfect time to try something a little more out of the norm. My hair was (and has been since the day I was born) jet-black and perfectly straight. Unlike other girls who would alternate their styles between a crimp, curl, and a messy up-do, I would normally wear my hair down with a headband every single day, with the exception of a stubby ponytail for sports.
The day of the makeovers, I told one of my stylists at Salon Rouge that they could do whatever they wanted to do to my look. It was almost like a jump into an unknown abyss; I did not know what to expect or how I would turn out in the end.
When the coloring, shampooing, and styling were finally over, I could not believe how amazingly different I looked. With a brand new cropped edgy cut with mellow highlights (as well as a shimmering complexion thanks to glittery eye shadow), I felt like I stood out from everyone else around me. I could not believe that my flat, pin-straight hair could ever look like this. High school girls should not be afraid to take a blind leap by drastically changing their look. Even a little alteration to one’s appearance can go a long way.

Rainy weather does not stop Quidditch Club
Vivian Qin (’11) and Allison King (’11) still held the second Quidditch Club meeting after school Thursday, November 12 despite the dreary weather outside. After organizing teams and adjusting the rules to a new environment, the club played two entire games of Quidditch in the science hallway of the third floor C-wing. Although someone could not run around as the snitch this meeting due to tighter conditions, a plastic replica of the winged golden ball was hidden somewhere along the third floor for two seekers to find.
The most significant improvement of the club, other than a great increase in attendance, had to be in the actual brooms (purchased with the income of a previous bake sale) which the teams actually mounted in play.
Environmental Awareness Club holds second meeting
Today, Thursday November 12, Nickee Plaksen (’10) and Shayna Golkow (’10) led the second meeting of the Environmental Awareness Club after-school. The club made posters to hang around the school to inform students and teachers about the little things they can do to reduce their negative impact on the environment.
The club also planned many things to do in the future to help the community become more “green”. For example, the club is going to collaborate with the biology teachers and Aramark to collect food scraps to place in the composter which biology teachers created with the Sustainable Cherry Hill East Club last year. The club also plans to visit elementary schools to educate the grade-schoolers about environmental impact to better prepare them for the future. Lastly, the club plans to have a battery drive to dispose of batteries in a cleaner, more effective manner and to collect plastics of the 3-7 groups, as they cannot be recycled in Cherry Hill, but only in Collingswood.
