West’s loss in last week’s match against Milken Community was largely due to a lack of communication in the pool as well as two dominating players on the opposing team. Despite losing, West continued to play and fight hard until the game was finished. Photo courtesy of David Ventura.

The push by public schools for more STEM-centered learning is nothing new, and has been around since at least the 1950s. When competing against the Soviets in the Space Race first began, it consumed every aspect of American culture, and in a way still does. This desire to become a leading country in STEM-related subjects has endured throughout the years, steamrolling the fine arts behind the glamor and flashy headlines of new advancements and scientific discoveries.

A Mediocre Start, But a Strong Finish

The West High golf team may have had its ups and downs, but each member was able to contribute her talents to the group.
Despite the fact that the girl’s golf team lost eight games and won two, many players admitted that it was a good season overall. Maki Murai (12) stated, “I was worried at the beginning of the year, because we lost 3 seniors from last year and I thought we wouldn’t do well. However, there was a freshman, Tiffany Kohyama, who helped a lot.” She was glad, that despite the losses in the beginning, the team was able to finish well, achieving victory in the last two games.
Even with the team’s confidence, the members still believe that there is still room for improvement, including Eunice Kim (10), who said “It’s all about practice; a lot goes to practice.” Still, she is glad the season worked out well, and that the new player, Tiffany, really contributed to the game. She is also content she improved much from last year.
Overall, the team was able to bond and trust each other in the game. Hopefully, next year’s golf team will meet more wins, and reach the CIF’s.
