This year, DMCI was rep-

resented by its football team,

DMCI’s Finest, the cheerleaders,

and a brand new addition; DMCI’s

first marching band to attend the

Santa Clause Parade. DMCI’s

Principal, Mr. Belmore, and Vice-

Principal, Mrs. Guzzi, also made

appearances at the parade.

The students spent about 2

vigorous hours setting up their

school’s float and all of them were

excited but patient for the an-

nouncement that began the pa-

rade. During the Santa Claus Pa-

rade, the marching band, cheer-

leaders, Finest, and even teachers

wore matching jackets that repre-

sented our school colour, ma-

roon, with the letters “D M C

I” embossed across the chest.

Every Maroon wore these

jackets, except for the football

players who proudly wore their

white and maroon, home foot-

ball jerseys.

The float sat some of

DMCI’s Alumni singing along

for the crowd, and right behind

the float was the DMCI march-

ing band who were diligent in

not letting anything distract

them from their performance

and school representation.

“Nothing stood in the

way of the marching band. Not

even the CBC news reporters,

camera men, or even screaming

audience. We just kept looking

straight and played on,” stated

Grace Gelo, a member of the

DMCI marching band.

Behind the marching band

was DMCI’s Finest dancers who

stayed in formation, strutting their

stuff, and performing their routines

getting the crowd hyped and excit-

ed. Around the side of the float,

the Maroons football team and

cheerleaders would greet the audi-

ence members who screamed and

cheered for the school. The cheer-

leaders performed their stunts

cheering. The Maroons football

team kindly smiled, as gentlemen

should, handing out small gifts of

baby footballs as a token of appre-

ciation for coming out. Along with

the small gifts to the children and

many smiles, every Maroon sent

out the message of “Merry Christ-

mas” to all.

As soon as the parade was

coming to an end, the students of

DMCI made their way to the Forks

downtown at approximately 6:30.

Celebrating their successful per-

formance of the day, the students

of DMCI spent whatever time they

had left together at the Forks.

Grace Gelo stated that “We could

feel the love and Christmas spirit

in the air. This experience really

brought us all closer together.”

__ CHORAL FEST ___ . By: Jerick Reyes

Music fills life with joy and togetherness, and every year Choral Fest has helped unite students from DMCI and schools all over the city who share a love of music. Choral Fest has never been about who has the best singers or who has the better repertoire. It’s about sharing the hard work students put into their music.

Groups that take part in Cho-ral Fest aren’t judged, nor ranked; they simply are adjudicated by well-known choral directors. This year’s adjudicators were Jenny Nauta, Ron Nauta, Theresa Wallis and Dave Wil-liams.

Two DMCI vocal jazz goups were scheduled to attend Choral Fest this year. Under the direction of Mrs. Cynthia Peyson Wahl stand DMCI’s senior vocal jazz group, DMCIce. The group consists of 12 enthusiastic stu-dents who love music and that makes for a wonderful and powerful group. The use of repertoires with variety, such as a ballad, swing and latin, is why DMCIce is so versatile. No gold or amount of money can compare to the positive feedback that was given to DMCIce. This group will surely be des-

tined for great things in future perfor-mances.

Wholly Jazz, a vocal group from CMU directed by Mrs. Wahl also performed a MINI-CONCERT. With a great combination of modesty, and awesomeness, Wholly Jazz is an amaz-ingly talented group. Mrs. Wahl is without a doubt one of the top direc-tors in Canada, and we are more than

fortunate enough to have her as our very own Mu-sic Department Head. Under the direction of Mr. Graham Dion, is the outstanding and very styl-ish, DMCChill. Rocking their shirts designed by DMCChill member Jen-nifer Tran, the group puts icing on the cake as they sing beautifully. The group performed two

swing tunes and a ballad while looking marvelous all the while. Mr. Dion has done a terrific job with his students.

There’s no community with-out others coming together. Other than DMCI, many other schools such as Maples, Sisler, Dakota, and St. Johns performed and blew DMCI stu-dents away.

If Choral Fest was home to those who love music, DMCI makes a great shelter. Choral Fest 2013’s vocal jazz component was a complete suc-cess. With a night filled with beautiful-ly sung music and wonderful smiles, Choral Fest is something to look for-ward to. Fortunately, Choral Fest 2013 isn’t over yet. Our choir and chamber choir are prepare to perform this week on November 20th and Novem-ber 22nd. Good luck to our very own DMCI music students! Keep Shining!

__ STEP IT UP ___ . By: Khuong Huynh

For the past five years, stu-dents and staff at DMCI have been successfully hosting an annual tal-ent show called Step It Up. Into its fifth year, it’s starting to become a popular event with DMCI; now well engrained into our institute's tradi-tions. The show features singing, dancing, and other acts from vari-ous groups and individuals with promising talent from different schools or dance groups. It gives candidates the chance to express their talent on stage and, at the same time, entertain the audience with lasting memories.

This year’s STEP IT UP V event features special guest host Peter Takis; teen entrepreneur, founder of Local Advancers and host from Winnipeg's Virgin Radio. Numerous devoted staff and students are hurrying about to en-sure another successful show. How-ever, despite the ongoing prepara-tions, parent volunteers are still needed to supervise certain loca-tions during the show's event.

‘’We need parents to super-vise because not all of the staff members at DMCI will be able to help out as parent-teacher confer-ence is the night before it,’’ said Mrs. Illagan, who with Mr. Malandrakis, are responsible for the management of the show.

Tickets are now available for purchase and can be obtained from any member of the school’s grad committee.

DISASTER IN THE PHILIPPINES ___ . By: Khuong Huynh

It has been weeks since a cate-gory 5 typhoon aggrieved the islands of the Philippines, leaving thousands dead and many thousands more in-jured. The process of rebuilding the affected areas for many amidst the devastation left behind, is now only just beginning.

Swift actions were taken by lo-cal authorities to evacuate those most vulnerable in the paths of the storm when it made landfall on Samar Island and other central provinces of the Philippines.

It is the strongest typhoon ever recorded; having winds speed of up to 235km/h with gusts of up to 275km/h, and produced tsunami-like waves reaching 45ft high, affecting Leyte and Samar provinces, with the city of Tacloban being described by the media as being in a state of com-plete uproar and confusion.

Despite the actions taken, about 1,600 people are still unac-counted for, 47 of who are of Canadi-an citizens. 500,000 people are left displaced and another 9 -11.3 million more people badly affected. Near-ly 4000 people are so far confirmed deceased, with the death toll previ-ously expected to reach into the ten thousands.

During the aftermath of the tragedy, recovery is still ongoing but was slow to respond due to the fact that roads leading to badly affected areas blocked aid.

DMCI Students Join the Relief Effort __

By: Khuong Huynh

Weeks after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda battered the islands of the Philippines and destroyed the lives of many Filipino citizens; two DMCI stu-dents are trying to help and are en-couraging community involvement.

When news of the unfolding tragedy caught the attention of Krystal DeGuzman, a grade 12 student at DMCI, the profound impact that it had on her caused her to spring into ac-tion.

‘’My perspective changed over the summer after I visited the Philip-pines with my mother,’’ said Krystal DeGuzman.

‘’They (the people of the Phil-ippines) are the hardest working peo-ple and it’s sad to see everything be-ing taken away from them.’’

Within days of Typhoon Hai-yan/Yolanda running its detrimental course, DeGuzman committed herself to seeking out charity foundations to learn ways that she could help the victims of the typhoon rebuild their lives.

After days of frantic Internet searching, she was able to find an online fundraising organization called Give2Habitat. The organization gives people their own fundraising page and a country of choice that they’d like to help. The money raised is then dele-gated to building homes and sup-porting impoverished communities.

After the Philippines was struck by Typhoon Haiyan, the organi-zation made it their mission from now till December the 30th, to fundraise up

to ₱450,000,000 ($10,000 USD), to help all the areas heavily affected by Typhoon Haiyan by providing ‘’Cleaning Kits to 50,000 families, Shel-ter Repair Kits to 30,000 families and 10,000 Core Houses,’’ called Re-Build Philippines, (tweet #ReBuildPH).

‘’Most of the charity organi-zations didn’t offer to do what I had in mind, until I came across Give2Habi-tat, which offers to build and repair houses for the typhoon victims, ’’ said Krystal. ‘‘You will have to create an account to donate, but it’s a really quick process.’’

With her own fundraising page and a ₱50,000 ($1197 CAD) fund-raising goal, Krystal DeGuzman hopes that she’ll reach half of her fundraising before December 24th, in time for Christmas.

If you’re interested in making dona-tions to Krystal’s fundraising, please visit:

Jem Delos Santos has been attending DMCI ever since she first came to Canada from Luzon Island in the northern Philippines with her fam-ily on November 6, 2010.

She and her friends who have graduated from DMCI have regularly mailed their own donations to Africa for charitable purposes.

When the news broke out about the typhoon, Jem and her friends decided upon mailing their own donations to church groups back in the Philippines, for them to help assist the victims.

‘’The donations that we had previously packed was supposed to be for countries in Africa, but when we heard about the typhoon we decided that we’d mail it to the Philippines instead as the people there will be needing it more,’’ said Jem.

‘’The donations are sent to one main church group that will then distribute the packages to different churches across the country.’’

Jem Delos Santos, who brave-ly admitted to shedding tears about the tragedy, is currently planning to make another donation to the Philip-pines in December (no specified date has been confirmed at this time).

A WARM WELCOMING _ __ . By: Jerick Reyes

MIDTERMS By: Kristina Fung

This year the teachers of

the math department decided to

have midterms for grades nine to

twelve. Pre-calculus, Essential Math

and Applied Math classes held their

midterms from November 4th , to

November 7th, in order to help the

students remember what they have

learned so far in the course.

“Grade 9 and 10 students

are not used to the final exam so

having practice and midterms is a

good way to help them and it is a

little bit of a recap of what they

learned in first term. Also in univer-

sity and college they have midterms

so it is good practice and it will not

be a shock for them” said Mrs.

Malolos, one of our Math teachers.

Mr. Styles, another teacher

of mathematics, also added, “I

think they’re a good idea because

they force students to study what

they learned in first semester.”

“Also in university a big

part of your mark is based on your

exams.” said Mr. Watt, also a Pre-

calculus and Essentials Math teach-

er.

So that is why we had math

midterms this year, so that we

won’t forget what we have learned

in first semester and we won’t pan-

ic when the final exam starts.

DMCI is so hot and the stu-

dents are not to blame. With the

addition of the four brand-spanking

new microwaves, this school feels

more like a home.

Yes, you have to wait for mi-

crowave space but that teaches us

to be patient in life.

Yes, other people will put

their food in while yours sits there,

but that teaches us that sharing is

caring.

Yes, there are no microwave

monitors, but that teaches us how

much responsibility we have in life.

Yes we will heat out food too

much, but that just teaches us how

much time we have left.

Yes, the microwaves are lo-

cated on the east side of the cafete-

ria but that just teaches us that we

must travel incredible lengths to get

what we want.

These microwaves aren’t just

microwaves, they are teachers of

life.

Just kidding, it’s just pretty

cool to have new microwaves.

__ OUR NEW VP _

By: Kristina Fung

DMCI has been lucky to wel-come a new Vice Principal to our school. Mr. Di Fabrizio, began work-ing at the school early in September, 2013.

Mr. Di Fabrizio originally worked in banking before he started teaching. He realized he wanted to teach when one of his buddies who were working for Junior Achievement asked him to come help out one day. After helping his friend with Junior Achievement he returned to school

for two years to get a teaching degree. After his schooling Mr. Di Fabrizio was hired at Technical Vocational High School in 1996 to teach business and technology courses. In the year 2009, he worked a brief stint at the Department of Edu-cation to develop curricu-la for technical vocational

courses. He returned to Tech Voc in 2009 for six more months.

Mr. Di Fabrizio was then placed at John M. King School in Feb-ruary 2010 as the Vice Principal. He decided to become an administrator because teaching only concentrated on one subject, he wanted to help and support students in all aspects of school. “It has always been about the students for me.”

Being a Vice Principal means not really having a say in which

school you’re placed at, but when Mr. Di Fabrizio came to DMCI, he saw that the teachers really care about their students and that the school was a welcoming place. “I feel really lucky to have come to this school, it is really special.” says Mr. Di Fabrizio.

In his spare time Mr. Di Fab-rizio likes to read books, but not fic-tion books. Instead, he likes to read non-fiction, books that are about real people and places. He also enjoys sports. He has coached soccer and basketball and is now currently coaching hockey.

The school is really glad to have Mr. Di Fabrizio as part of the DMCI team. He is sure to fit right in because he interacts well with the students and seems very passionate about his job. Mr. Di Fabrizio is defi-nitely a great addition to the staff we have here at DMCI.

On November 14th , the Daniel McIntyre Maroons football team had their 5th annual Football Awards Ban-quet to shut down their 2013 football season with a night of family, friends, and most importantly, brothers. The banquet was held at the usual Mari-gold restaurant on Inkster Boulevard and started shortly after 5:00 PM. Each football player on the team was granted a ticket to a night of laughs, honours, and all you can eat Chinese food. The head coach of the team, Mr. Jon Gustave, started off the night with a several announcements, stating that the night would start off with the buffet, followed by the pre-senting of the awards for the 2013 season, and then dessert. After some late arrivals, the dinner was finished and the awards ceremony was to fol-low. A mention goes out to “Young Blood”: Brendan Chambers, a 4’11” freshman for eating more than any-one at his table, from Coach Gustave and fellow player Dillon Thorne.

A total of 10 awards were dis-tributed that night, including the Ma-roons Most Valu-able Player trophy, which was voted for by each and every

player on the team. Awards went as follows: Top Back to Kevin Ebron Rookie of the Year to Keiran

Costa Chubb Chabot Defensive Line-

man award to Michael Carino Maroons Football Coaches

Award for “Determination, Mo-tivation, Commitment, and In-tegrity” to Odun Ogidan

Outstanding Lineman Award to Kim Patiu, for the second year in a row.

Top Linebacker to Thiery Niyu-buhungiro.

That is 6 of the 10, and the other 4 were presented to Daniel Sousa who took the night by storm. Daniel was awarded Top Defensive Back, Top Receiver, Special Teams Player of the Year,Most Valuable Player Award vot-ed by the team.

Head Coach Gustave stated that, “Normally, other teams would try to spread out their awards, but we like to recognize players who have

earned their awards, and Daniel de-served the four of his.”

There is one more award to be awarded at the end of the year at the annual Athletic Banquet; the George Kunyckyj Award for Academic and On-field Excellence awarded to the football player with the highest grade average.

Before dessert was to be served, Coach Gustave came up to make his closing remarks, including an announcement that offensive coordi-nator Joe Buccini, a coach since the revival of the Maroons football team in 2005 and alumnus of DMCI, just served his final year of coaching at Daniel McIntyre to spend more time with his family. For next year, Coach Gustave plans to appoint a new offen-sive coordinator to take Buccini’s place.

A video presentation was also shown displaying the top ten plays of the football season to finish the cere-mony with some excitement. The night ended with a send-off state-ment from Coach Gustave and des-sert was served.

“Of all my years of coaching high school rugby and football, this had to be the best award banquet I have ever attended.” stated Coach Jon Gustave.

Finally, Coach Gustave claimed that even though the veter-ans, or final year football players, would be gone, their experiences and character from being on the team will be carried on for the rest of their lives, personally and professionally, “Once a Maroon, always a Maroon.”

JY BOYS CITY CHAMPS 8 YEARS RUNNING . By: David Duong

The Junior Varsity Boys had their city championships this past November 7th going up against the Sisler Spartans at their home court. Many of the students from DMCI came out to cheer on the young play-ers and represent their school. The first set was won by the Maroons with a close score of 25 over Sisler’s score of 23. Then the Spartan’s quickly responded to the Maroons’ team and the tables were turned with a score of 25 over DMCI’s score of 23, a total flip. Be-cause of this, a tie breaker set would have had to take place and it did. Before announcing the final score and outcome, a different opin-ion should be expressed. In an interview, Martin Desamaro, a member of the Sisler Spartan’s JV boys’ volleyball team, stated that, “Our strategy was to work hard for every point, be LOUD, provide lots of communication, and just always be ready even if the ball isn’t coming to you.” And of course the Maroons couldn’t have done much different to display such a close and exciting game. By the third set, Sisler began with a lead over the Maroons which could have ruined their drive to winning especially after just losing the last set. During a Maroons time out, the referee switched a point from Sisler over to DMCI because of a call against the Spar-tan’s that had first put them in the lead, but had taken their drive from them. A wave of murmur and dismay came over the opposing team and the Maroons took that to their advantage. After the time out, the Maroons fought hard with their drive to win a close third set with a score of 15-13. People would question why there was only one referee at a City

Championship volleyball game and some of the calls he made may have been questionable, from both sides. Fate would have it that the Maroons won their game nonetheless, awarding DMCI’s JV boys’ volleyball team with their 8th City Championship in a row, since 2006. Both teams fought their hardest to make it to where they were that day and will continue to work even harder because there’s always next season! Congratulations Maroons!

Dear Mac,

I’ve always wanted to get more involved in school activi-

ties, but I’m too afraid. It seems like everyone’s got a thing

they’re good at but I don’t think I’m good at anything. I feel

like if I started joining things I would just let everyone

down. What should I do?

You never know what you can achieve unless you try. You may not be the

best at sports or extracurriculars, but everything takes practice. Join some-

thing you enjoy and you will definitely get better at it. And I’m sure you’ll find

that everyone will be welcoming and understanding and won’t expect you to

be perfect. Just take a chance.

The Daniel Mac Varsity Boys and Girls volleyball game at Sisler High School was a very intense experience. Many fans cheered for their favourite teams and gave a lot of support. Starting with the Varsity Girls, the team played against the Grant Park Pirates. The first set had the Pi-rates in the lead and as the game went on, the Pirates continued in the second set to make hard hits against our Maroons. The third set had the Maroons make their first come back, then later on tie with the Pirates. In the end, the Pirates won, with a score of 25-21. Afterwards, the Varsity Boys Maroons played against the Kelvin Clippers. It was a very exciting game. The first and second set had the Clip-pers take the lead, but come third set of the game, the Maroons made it even and from then on they kept rack-

ing up points. The varsity boys were victorious in the end finishing their game in the final bout with a winning 15- 25.

All in all, both games were ex-cellent and everyone that played gave it their all. Good job to the Varsity Girls who gave the Pirates a run for their money and congratulations to the Varsity Boys for winning the City Championship!

The Internet: a crucial part of every teen’s life. If you were to ask any teen how much time they spent online daily, the answer might scare you. Unless, of course, you’re a teenager yourself. In that case you would probably scoff at their weakness and claim you spend five more hours dai-ly. But the Internet really is a wonderful thing. Ever since its invention more re-sources and options have been opened to us for our casual use. However, I fear some people may take the Internet’s awe-someness for granted. The “World Wide Web” has changed our lives forever. It has connect-ed us with people from across the world. It has provided us endless knowledge just at the end of our fingertips. Wikipedia is of course a student’s best friend. But above all of that, it has given us a space in which we can share ideas and thoughts with people across the globe. It has al-lowed us to be creative without the fear of placing a nametag on your work. The chance to be completely anonymous frees us. You no longer have to be afraid of speaking your mind or sharing an opinion or sharing any creative content that you make, because on the Internet, you are nothing but a Username and a whole bunch of “0”s and “1”s. There’s a great comfort in knowing that. However, just like everything in the world, there are downsides to this revolutionary creation. The anonymousness of the Internet could give people the platform on which to be cruel without consequences. And so we get cyber bullying and “Internet trolls” and “haters”. Regular people like you and I who are physically only sitting behind a screen but emotionally hurting victims online. They assume their actions will not have consequences because they are only a Username and a bunch of “0”s and “1”s. But the truth is that cyber bullying is a very serious issue. What is uploaded onto the Internet is there forev-er, even if you delete it. And even if you think that what you

posted is just a joke, if there is even a slight chance that it could offend or hurt anyone, chances are it already has. It is amazing how fast information spreads, especially on the Internet. So next time you’re about to retweet a funny tweet, or share a post on Facebook, or reblog something on tumblr, ask yourself if the post made at the expense of anyone. If so, then maybe you should speak up or do something about it. And in extreme cases in which you witness someone being targeted and attacked online, please report it right away. The Internet is awesome, not gonna lie. But be careful, everything comes with a dark side.

HI A POEM BY JERICK REYES

Hi, can I just start off by saying I like your eyes.

Hi, I just want to stay that you’ve caught my eye.

Hi, that’s the feeling I get when I’m with you, where

nothing else in the world matters.

Hi, is my elevation because you give me lift, you’ve

given me wings that no one else will.

Hi, the level my love for you lays on,

Hi, the first word we shared when we first met,

Hi, you just captured my heart and my love is sen-

tenced to a lifetime inside the walls of your soul, a

life time with you is a lifetime of happiness, I’m as

happy as a little kid who is his happiest,

Hi, I don’t care if you’re not wearing makeup, I don’t

care that you’re wearing sweats or you’re hair isn’t

done, I’m not looking for just a pretty face, I’m look-

ing for someone to make me feel, hi,

Above the ground, I don’t want our feet to stay

planted,

I want to go hi, so we can go hi, so hi.

Your looks are on a level that’s so hi,

So hi, I come to you right now because I just want to

say hi, I don’t want to go the opposite direction be-

cause I want to stay hi,

And continue to climb so hi,

So.

Hi.

The Hilarious Antics of PrinceyD BY DAVID DUONG AND JERICK REYES

Once upon a time… just kidding! It’s not that type of

story! At DMCI, there was a mentally inclined, but socially

awkward student that went by the name of Princey D. Eve-

ryone called him PrinceyD, so often that no one knew his

real name. At the age of 16, standing at about 5’10, Prin-

ceyD participated in many sports. He loved Badminton,

Speed Stacking, Yoga, and Extreme Jacks. He has always

dreamed about going to the pro leagues in Extreme Jacks.

When he would sweat, he called it “dripping swag goo.”

Amongst his variety of “talents,” PrinceyD loved fashion.

At home, he would constantly have his round face in his

mom’s Cosmopolitan magazine looking for ways to attract

all the ladies. He had an eye out for the latest trends, hair-

styles, and musical sensations. Lately, he has been listening

to a lot of Miley Cyrus, his favourite song is “Wrecking

Ball.” His daily life consisted of school, rummaging through

his mother’s magazines, and watching MuchMusic.

One day in his English class, he was listening to

“Wrecking Ball”, a loud crash resounded from the class-

room next door. And then…

Dear Mac,

I don’t know what I want to do after high school, help.

Take time in your life and think of what you enjoy in life. There is no point in pursuing a path that you find no light in.

Let what you enjoy be your moon and your stars, and keep following the sky that you see hope in.. Swag.

Test your luck in this fun and classic game, M.A.S.H. If you’ve had any childhood whatsoever,

you’re sure to have played it before, but just in case you have forgotten here are the rules:

First you must pick a number that is correlated with you birth month. This is your “magic number”.

You then count, using your number, starting from “M” and continuing onto each option, and whichever op-

tion you land on, you cross it out. You continue doing this until only one option remains in each category,

and there in front of you, is your future.

Give it a shot and see how your life will turn out! DON’T CHEAT! Who will you marry? What kind of

house? How many kids? What kind of vehicle will you drive?
