The sun is shining, the grass is greener, the birds are chirping. What does that mean? A whole new spring wardrobe! This spring, fill your closet with some daring pieces and styles that can’t be missed.
Flare jeans aren’t just a thing of the past anymore ladies. Buy yourself a pair this spring and top it off with a crop top of your choice! Speaking of crop tops, a fuzzy, pastel-coloured crop top is the perfect piece to have. You can wear it anywhere. From day-time walks to a night out with your friends, a fuzzy crop top is an essential!
Think only farmers can wear overalls? If you do, you’re clearly mistaken, as overalls are a huge trend now! They aren’t considered a “lazy” article of clothing anymore, and they can even look high-fashion. Match it with a nice white blouse and some heels and you could be walking the runways!
This year’s spring wardrobe includes a lot of colours for boys. Light-wash jeans are a great must-have for spring to coincide with that “almost summer” vibe! Varsity jackets are also a go-to for those chillier nights. Something that guys will have no problem wearing are sports shoes! Nike Roshe Run shoes, Adidas originals, and New Balance 574 shoes are some of the best sports shoes to get this spring - they can be worn casually (with a pair of jeans) or even in a classier setting (with rolled up trousers).
Spring 2015 consists of three patterns: stripes, double denim, and dare I say it, florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. Striped dresses for girls and a simple striped shirt for men can be worn at casual occasions, as well as classier gatherings. After reading the words “double denim”, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ 2001 denim catastrophe probably came to mind, but I assure you—with the right pieces—you can make a statement, and look good doing it! The key is to never wear the same coloured denim. Wear a lighter coloured denim shirt/jacket with jeans that are shades darker! Lastly - floral crop tops, floral skirts, floral button-ups, floral everything! Flower power is ALWAYS a go to during this time of year; it’s classic.
I hope you Titans are ready for a wave of fashion this upcoming civvies!

Black History Month Celebrity Profile
By: Julio Balda
Throughout this century, black men and women have been dominating both politically and musically. Constantly in the news, black people now have a voice through means of others. A few of these many successful people are mentioned in the following article.
Barack Obama, the first ever black president, is one of the most liked politicians and influential people in the world. He continues to support strong causes such as gay marriage, and equality.
An amazing philanthropist, producer, and talk show host, Oprah Winfrey is a well-known household name! Most known for her talk-show The Oprah Winfrey Show, (one of the highest-rated programs in history), she has also written six books, and is one of the richest black people in North America.
Constantly talked about in media, Beyoncé is not a stranger to anyone. She has had five number one hit albums, is a successful actress starring in The Pink Panther as well as Obsessed, and made jaws drop in 2014 when she suddenly released an album without knowledge or promotion for it, which caused a huge wave in the media.
The talented Kevin Hart never ceases to amuse people and make them die of laughter. One of the biggest names in comedy at the moment, he’s hosted many award shows, such as the MTV VMAs, BET Awards, and many others. Hart has also won many awards himself, including Best Actor in a Comedy Series for the NAACP Image Awards, as well as Best Actor for the BET Awards in 2012, and other amazing awards.
Both the newest face for Lancome and named Woman of the Year by Glamour Magazine, Lupita Nyong’o has rapidly become one of the most loved actresses in the world. She starred in the award winning movie, 12 Years a Slave, and received an Oscar for her amazing and captivating performance. Nyong’o is the first black spokeswoman for Lancome, which is monumental. She was featured as the cover girl for the UK’s Dazed & Confused Magazine, as well as on Vogue. She is set to star in Queen of Katwe, a biopic portraying the rise of a young African chess prodigy.
Over the last couple of years black men and women have taken the entertainment world by storm, whether it’s through politics, music, or other forms of media. Black men and women have always been and always will be great leaders and influential people, despite being in a white oriented world.

Halloween Halls

This Halloween the halls of Holy Trinity were filled with both monstrous and hilarious
costumes from head to toe. From Darla of “Finding Nemo” to dead, gory school girls, Holy
Trinity truly showed spirit this Hallows’ Eve.
Once again students crowded the halls with classic and creative costume ideas.
Kassandra Bot, winner of this year’s “Best Student Costume,” decided to go as Darla Sherman,
the crazy 8 year-old fish killer of the classic Disney movie “Finding Nemo.” Kassandra had
decided on the costume idea when her friend came up with it and passed it along to Kassandra.
Within a week Kassandra had her costume planned out. Kassandra’s final remarks were
“FISHY, FISHY, FISHY!”
All grades happily participated in the day’s activities, showing great spirit! Kayla Rach,
grade 10, went as Mario while her boyfriend accompanied her as her Luigi. Having this idea
planned for months, she said, “We were looking for something fun that we could both do which
kids could see and laugh!”
There were also some gory looking students dressed up in their most gruesome attire
for Holy Trinity’s Haunted House, which caused screaming and terror. Valeria Granda and
Veronique Chesterfield, two of the characters of the Haunted House, told us, “We put so much
effort into it so every year is super great!We have so much more creative things than last
year’s!” The Haunted House truly was terrifying and definitely made people run for their lives!
Students weren’t the only ones with Halloween spirit! Teachers and staff of Holy Trinity
proudly dressed up with their wacky attire. Ms. Bracco, Ms. Di Diodato, Ms. Amato, and Mr.
Ryan dressed up as the “Grammar Police” – giving out tickets to anyone and everyone who
defied the laws of grammar! They also won this year’s “Best Group Costume”; no surprise there!
Our principal, Mrs. O’Grady, also showed amazing spirit with her mad scientist costume.
When asked what her inspiration was she said, “I do have a bit of a science background, so a
mad scientist comes naturally!” Mrs. O’Grady shared that the costume was a very last minute
idea since she wanted to participate in the wonderful and spooky tradition of dressing up. We
applaud her on her creativity!
Holy Trinity did not disappoint this year. With enthusiastic students and overflowing
spirit, Halloween at Holy Trinity truly was a treat!
