Do you get hungry at school and want an easy way to reduce the hunger cravings? Researchers at West Chester University found that rubbing your ears can help. By rubbing your ear lobes and cartilage for 1 minute, hunger suppressing endorphins are released. By doing this 3 times a day, researchers have found that you can lose up to 6 pounds per month. This has been your psychology tip of the day.
Yesterday evening your Cedar Cliff Colt Boys Tennis Team, both Varsity and JV, froze out the Polar Bears of Northern by identical scores of 4-1. On our own home court, Leland “Pooh Bear” Pierce won his #1 singles match in straight sets as did Andrew “Wise Old Owl” Wilson stepping it up at #3 singles. Likewise, the doubles duos of Noah “Gopher” Gallo and Nick “Woozle” Wilson along with Thomas “Kanga” Kaiser and Trent “Tigger” Sunday dispatched of their foes in an equally efficient straight set fashion. Meanwhile, in the far away Hundred Acre Wood known as Dillsburg, Jackson “Eeyore” Dibble, Ethan “Heffalump” Hoffert, and Reck “Roo” Ngoma swept the singles action in Junior Varsity play. It bears mentioning this is right on the heels of another Junior Varsity victory two nights ago when the team dispatched the Thundering Herd of Carlisle. That would be game, set, and match folks. And remember Colt Country, as you embark upon your upcoming Spring Break, in the immortal words of Christopher Robin, “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

The boys' tennis team defeated Camp Hill on a very cold and un-tennis weather like Friday evening last week. The final count was 5-0 with another District Doubles victory but was not without some drama as four of the six matches went into tie-breaker territory. Adam “Hitman” Hintze disposed of his foe 6-1, 6-3 at number one singles while Leland “Powder-Puff” Pierce pirouetted his way to a 6-4, 7-6 victory after an extended 7-5 second set tie-breaker at number two singles. Nathan “Choco” Rivera, at number three singles, also went into extra inning territory before sweeping his opponent 7-6, with a first set 7-4 tie-breaker win, and a second set count of 6-4. At number two doubles, the team of “Action” Jackson Dibble and Andrew “Tiny Tim” Wilson provided no drama as they quickly disposed of their Camp Hill counterparts by a score of 6-2, 6-2. The Cedar Cliff freshman duo of Hintze and Wilson then turned their sights onto Camp Hill’s vaunted Senior District Doubles pairing and, in keeping with the theme of the evening, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by storming back from a 6-7 deficit to win the tie-breaker by a score of 8-6 and the match by a total of 8 games to 7. The match of the night though was put on by “Hat Trick” Nick Wilson and “High-Sticking” Noah Gallo. They went the distance and beyond with a three set 6-0, 1-6, 7-6 victory which did not meet its denouement until they dramatically closed out their foes in an extended tie-breaker which was settled in Cedar Cliff’s favor by a score of 12-10. You will have your opportunity to see the team in action down at our very own Cedar Cliff Colts tennis courts this Tuesday as they take on Northern in a Mid-Penn Conference clash. Remember, in the immortal words of Principal McGee from the 1978 musical Grease, “If you can’t be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.”

The boys' tennis team, both Varsity and JV levels, defeated Red Land yesterday by identical scores of 3-2 on a cold and blustery day in matches that uncharacteristically extended well beyond 7:00 last night. Leading the way on varsity were Adam "Highlight Reel" Hinzte and Leland "the Pummeler" Pierce at Number One and Number Two Singles respectively. Sealing the match was the Number Two Doubles team of Jackson "Kurt" Dibble and Andrew "Goob" Wilson who won their match in a thrilling 7-5 tiebreaker. On the JV side of the house, after being down early by a team score of 0-2, Joe Sentman won a hard-fought match at Number Three Singles while the doubles tandem of Parker Graf and Austin Wagner at Number One Doubles skunked their opponents by not allowing them to win a single game. It was once again the Number Two Doubles team that carried the evening though as Mason "Moonbeam" Cordaro and Maclain "Mack-Daddy" Weller battled their way to an 8-5 victory. In Exhibition action, "Zippy" Zane Taylor teamed with Cameron "Ice Cream" Sunday for a victory while Noah "Patron of the" Artz painted the lines for a win as well. Congratulations to all who braved the elements to bring home yet another "W" over Red Land for Cedar Cliff Athletics." In the immortal words of Elvis Presley, "Thank you...thank you very much."

In recognition of women’s history month we celebrate –Wednesday–Lois Weber. Moviegoing became sensationally popular in the first decades of the twentieth century, quickly surpassing other commercial entertainments like vaudeville and amusement parks, creating a tremendous demand for films. Movie theaters changed programs several times a week, sometimes daily, showing a revolving program of short films. Opportunities abounded for virtually anyone interested in working in this new medium, including many women. One hundred years ago, the movie business was a place of incredible opportunity for women – arguably much more open to female filmmakers than it remains today. Early moviemaking was also a flexible enterprise where it was relatively easy to move between creative positions and the role of “director” as we now know it was less clearly defined. People who entered the business in one capacity could move to other roles with relative ease. Women could move from screenwriting to acting to directing, as Lois Weber did…When Lois Weber ran for Mayor of Universal City on an all-female, women’s suffrage ticket in 1913, eliciting derisive coverage in the national press, Universal countered by boasting that its workforce included “some of the brainiest as well as most beautiful women in America.” Female filmmakers were an advantage for Universal in the silent era, something they were proud to celebrate.

Want to lose weight without changing your eating habits or exercising more? Researchers found that getting more sleep will help you do this. By getting one extra hour of sleep per night, it is possible to lose up to 2 pounds in a week. Why? Because sleep is directly related to the body's ability to change food into energy, also known as your metabolism. So get more sleep, just not during class! This has been your psychology tip of the day.

Today is the first day of Women's History Month. - Ida B. Wells was born into slavery but throughout her life became a notable journalist and activist during the 19th and 20th centuries. She used her work in journalism to show America the conditions in which African Americans lived in the South. In 1892, after three of her friends had been lynched by a mob she began her anti-lynching campaign. For over forty years Ida B. Wells journalism brought much-needed attention to the horrors of lynching, she died on March 25th, 1931. On May 4th, 2020 Ida B. Wells was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her “reporting on the horrific and vicious violence against African Americans during the era of lynching.”
