Godhia’s design was chosen out off all the other designs by a group of seniors working with the committee. “I think it’s really cool how the entire school is going to be wearing my design,” Godhia said of his win. According to Gale Spitzley, the Grad Nite committee member in charge of this year’s T-shirts, “The Grad Nite committee looks to the students to create a design that will ‘brand’ the current year’s theme and. This year’s theme is Mardi Gras and the tagline is ‘Your Time is Now.’” Not only does Godhia’s design embody the Mardi Gras theme with colorful masks, jesters and beads, but it also has a hidden mes- sage. In the top, right-hand corner of the design is a QR code that, when scanned with a QR code reader on a smartphone, decodes Godhia’s message for the class of 2012. “I feel like it’s [the QR code] just really relevant to our gen- eration because you see them everywhere now. I was think- ing that in the future, when people look back at their Grad Nite T-shirts, it’ll be a good reminder of the trends in 2012 in case they change dra- matically,” Godhia say. As the first place winner, Godhia will receive a $100 reward for his design. Seniors Ruth Valencia and Sherri Forsting earned second and third place respectively and will receive $50 and $25 for their designs. The winning designs can be seen online at powayiliad.com.

It was the second year of the show, and over 500 tick- ets were sold-- twice as many as last year. Poway’s Got Talent was not only an opportunity for students to perform for their community members, but also to raise money for a wide variety of clubs and orga- nizations on campus. Ticket sales, a silent auction, spon- sor donations, and proceeds from a Hamburger Factory dinner all contributed to the fundraising effort. Most of the acts were musical performances of all genres, including several that involved original work. The alternative rock band Sleepless Pacific, eight year old Elle Cook, and seniors Jeremy Barroll, Nathan Borchert, and Zach Sheldon all participated in acts that involved their original song-writing or composing. The “Cello Fellows” and the “Saxy Men” also played several songs as did Jazz Band, and Drumline per- formed an act of basket drumming. Other acts were put on by Academic team, AVID, peer counseling, and dance team, which featured solos from seniors Rachael Hyer and Nicole Belanger. “It’s a wonderful feeling to bring people together while raising money to support the clubs,” talent show coordinator Donna Liska said.
