Tuesday, September 19, Clarion staff members underwent a training exercise in which they explored the campus through their cameras during first period. Some may have encountered our photographers during the morning.

There were many places that people overlook on campus, one being under a bench outside the library. I figured that photos should be taken of places where people never considered looking. The cobwebs that clung to the cement with dust and trash cast a shadow just visible under the seat. (Photo by Saeri Plagmann)
This shot was taken after I stepped into a bush full of spider webs and trash. The ivy clinging to the trunk of the tree gave me the inspiration to take a shot from an unusual angle. Several attempts were made to get into the perfect position before the actual photo was taken. Unlike regular trees in the quad, the ivy leads the viewer to follow it up towards the tree.

When I was walking towards the tennis courts, the “1” on the first court called my attention. The sign is a reminder that win or lose, we are always number one. (Photo by Miya Murata)

As students enter the front of the Kennedy Campus, they are greeted by this familiar sign surrounded by a garden kept green by students. Standing high, bright, and proud, our sign shows our school spirit and welcomes everyone onto our campus. (Photo by Karissa Jones)
As you enter the Kennedy Sports Stadium this mighty cougar poses for all who enter. Whether for a big game, or a hardworking practice, the cougar welcomes all with its fierce look and ready-to-pounce attitude. (Photo by Karissa Jones)
The long walkway at the base of the stadium stands clear of students. By day, the passage is only filled with students doing outside activities, waiting for evening to arrive to be filled with roaring fans and a show to watch until the next morning when it is once again empty and silent.

It’s that time of the year when the leaves begin to fall and the weather changes throughout the day. The day started off as a cold one but quickly turned into a beautiful sunny day. Students are enjoying this weather because it can only mean the holidays are well on their way. (Photo by Aryanna Zavala-Cortez)
