Rebels gain hands-on experience at Central NineRHS Feature Story

So long...We have waited four years for that surreal moment

when we are in front of friends and family, in our cap and gown, getting that diploma. We are the closest we’ve ever been to that final moment of seniority before we go out on our own to make a name for ourselves. It is now our time. The past four years have been the stepping stones for the future, but some of us still don’t know where we are going. Friends and family put so much pressure on the college decision and claim that it is the biggest decision of your life. This may be true, but making the right decision is much better than choosing quickly just to please those around you. I know all of us can remember back to the first day of freshman year. We were the biggest class to come in to Roncalli we were known for that. We used our size in pep rallies to yell louder then the rest of the Rebels, and that continued throughout the years. The senior class has become so close, with students making friendships that will probably last a lifetime. It’s going to be hard to leave here and go to school where we don’t have those friendships anymore. I know I’m not the only one who will miss the closeness and spirit this class has brought to the school and each other. Roncalli has become a comfort zone for us seniors, and it’s coming to a quick and terrifying end. Graduation is right around the corner. We will take our memories with us, and our life long friends, and continue to live on as the class of 2010.

Central Nine Career Center is an alternate path a handful of students choose in order to submerge themselves in their future career. As a

public school, Central Nine offers students career skills which cannot be given at their current high school. With over 30 electives to choose from courses vary from cosmetology to auto repair . Nick Berrones and Kyle Zieles are two students currently enrolled at Central Nine. Junior Nick Berrones is taking advantage of the building trades course the school offers. Berrones attends Central Nine because he “ felt it helped [him] get a head start on [his] career”. Senior Kyle Zieles is in the automotive technology

program. Zieles enjoys Central Nine because “ it is hands-on learning. It is not major book-heavy. [He] can use what [he] is learning right away”.

With his work at Central Nine Zieles has been offered scholarships to college and a job at

a car dealership.He also competed at the Regional Skills USA competition were he placed first and was offered a 6,000 dollar scholarship to attend college in Ohio.

Zieles plans on going to college for automotive technology and business

and aspires to one day own his own automotive business. Each day the students attend their first four classes to complete their required course work, then they depart to Central Nine. The students eat lunch before their arrival, once at Central Nine they begin classes. The class work is different for each course, but typically there is book work and then hands on training where students work with cars, houses, and etc. For students who are interested in Central Nine Roncalli’s course catalog shows the classes offered. Discussing enrollment at Central Nine with their counselor is the student’s first step. To qualify for enrollment students must be able to complete their required classes; sometimes the way to do so is through summer school. Then next step is to fill out an application, after the two main steps are cleared then the rest of the processes can begin. There is a lingering misconception that Central Nine is only for students who are not college bound. As is the case in many schools, some students opt not to go to college; however, most students at Central Nine do choose to attend college.

Roncalli dominates drafting competition

After years of devoted service to the Roncalli family, two of Roncalli’s most loved teachers have decided to retire following this school year

by kenzie nickellFeature Writer

After teaching 32 years at Roncalli, Mrs. Elaine Jerrell will retire at the

end of this year. She wants to have more time to help support and take care of her parents due to their age and health. While tending to her parents’ care, she would also like to spend time with her grandchildren. Having more family and free time, she will continue to help her husband with working at St. Vincent De Paul. Mrs. Jerrell and her husband, Pat, made plans to travel to Europe this summer. She wants to travel to new areas now that she has more time. Jerrell said she also hopes to visit all of the presidential libraries. Though Mrs. Jerrell will be leaving Roncalli, she will miss it greatly. “I’ve enjoyed all of my time here at Roncalli. The main reasons would be the students, parents, teachers and the subject I teach. My favorite part

about my entire teaching career was being able to witness the changes in the school and how we are always trying to get better,” said Mrs. Jerrell. Mr. Doyle Baker, the woodshop teacher, taught at RHS during the 1994-95 school year, taught in a public school system for 11 years and then

came back to Roncalli for the remaining four years of his teaching career. The newly available free time for Baker and his wife gives them an opportunity to travel around the United States. They want to be able to travel the coastal states because they have already seen most of Europe.

Baker has many memories of Roncalli, but his most memorable was when he first came to Roncalli in ’94. He never missed a game of the football team’s state title run. Baker has enjoyed his teaching career and plans to write a book about it in the winter months. “I really enjoyed my first time here because I finally realized my dream of being a teacher. My early retirement from Eli Lilly made it possible. Of course, the job at a Catholic high school was even better. Back then, and now, I was proud to give back to the Catholic system that helped make me what I am today,” said Baker.

RETIRING TEACHERS: Mr. Doyle Baker and Mrs. Elaine Jerrell will be retiring this year after years of teaching at Roncalli.

Retiring Rebels

Students have once again acquired success in the NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) Architectural Drafting and Design contest. The NAWIC is a group of professional women who are all employed in the construction industry.

The people in the NAWIC are typically architects and engineers. The contest is a nationwide competition that picks the best architectural design drawn by a fourth-year student. The students entered in the competition have to work hard through their summers if they want to do well in the competition. “Every year toward the end of May, I receive a packet of information that describes a building the NAWIC foundation would like us to draw. The students then do research of the building over the summer, and then the students begin working on their semester one project when the school year resumes,” said Mr. Jim Ratliff, drafting teacher. This year the students were asked to design and draw the plans for a residential library. Out of the 16 entries from Roncalli students, three senior students placed in regional competition. Austin Haag came in first place, Andrew Sahm came in second and John Widdifield placed third. This success is not uncommon. “Since 1977, we have had six national winners and two second place winners at the national level,” said Ratliff. Mr. Ratliff ’s dedication can be attributed to student’s success towards the competition. He has worked at RHS for 44 years and still continues to push the students to work hard at the competition.

The most prestigious accomplishments in high school academics, valedictorian and salutatorian,

are recognized in a grandeur of acclamation; however, these accomplishments show off these two individuals’ efforts only at the commencement of their high school tenure. Nearing graduation, they will reminisce their transformation from immature freshman into the intellectual young adults they are now.

What advice do you have for underclassmen aspiring to be a valedictorian or salutatorian?Anne Hemmelgarn: My advice would be to focus on your most challenging classes, take the most challenging schedule you can and don’t give up or quit after sophomore year.Eric Lemmel: Do your homework, ask teachers for help and don’t give up.

How does this make you feel? Does it change anything?AH: This hasn’t really changed my way of thinking; it is really awesome, but I’m still the same person. EL: It does not make me feel any different. Other people treat me with more respect; my opinion carries more weight now. It hasn’t changed me as a person. It is an honor; I’m happy, but I am not defined by being salutatorian.

Did you think at the beginning of your freshman year that you would be the valedictorian/salutatorian?AH: Freshman year I did not think that I had a chance; I got two of my lowest grades and was not number 1 or 2 [in my class]. EN: No I did not think that I would be salutatorian. In my freshmen year, I was third in the class.

How did you achieve this title? What did you do to push yourself?AH: My parents have always pushed me to do my best, and really to do the best. I was kind of just convinced that I would do well in any class, so I worked hard and did do well. EL: I made sure that I had my work done. I did well on tests as well, and that really helped me out.

From Rebelation and the Rebel Revue to Battle of the Bands and a new drop off location, the 2009-10 school year was jam-packed with a variety of events at Roncalli. This year unveiled new Rebel groups such as the Chemistry Club and CIA while keeping traditions such as

the canned food drive and walk-a-thon very popular amongst the student body. Narrowing the year’s biggest events is a tough task, but here are some of this school year’s accomplishments for the history book. The first renovation at Roncalli this year was the addition of new computers in most of the English classrooms. “The computers have made classes more awesome,” said junior Kim Barkocy. The addition of the new computers made English classes much more flexible instead of getting out a book and reading all period. The Rebel gymnasts lived up to expectations with a second place finish in their state meet. “It definitely gave Roncalli a bigger name in high school gymnastics and gives the girls more incentive to work harder next year,” said senior Alyssa Servie, who won state in the all-around competition. Multiple other sports also had successful seasons this year. Indisputably the event that caused the most commotion this year was the introduction of Roncalli’s new chapel. “The chapel will affect Roncalli because instead of 30 or so people filing into a tiny room to have Mass, we can pray in a chapel and truly thank God,” said sophomore Kylie Fitzsimmons. “The chapel itself signifies how generous God is by making this goal happen,”

Fitzsimmons said. With the new chapel, Roncalli has a permanent way to show the faith that shines through the halls here. For the first time, Roncalli held mandatory study sessions during final’s week. “I don’t study at home because I study at the sessions,” said sophomore Caroline Jones. These sessions were mainly implemented to allow finals days to count as a full day of school, and were very useful for some Rebels. Roncalli swimmer Alexa Eberg advanced to state this year. Although she may not have won state, the achievement did not go unnoticed. Freshman swimmer Jack Hosty said, “It will motivate me to work hard. It could get us all to succeed in a team manner like she did.” Alexa’s state swimming experience may indeed affect the team’s morale for next year. Father Wilmoth was awarded by the National Catholic Education Association with the Distinguished Pastor Award. “Because we are so proud of Father Wilmoth, the Roncalli family is more proud of itself and its faith,” said freshman Nina Schalk. Father Wilmoth was one of only 10 pastors to receive this award. This year, however, was missing a big Rebel date: Grandparent’s Day. With the new chapel complicating the process, grandparent’s day was not on the 2009-10 calendar. “We look forward to this day every year and we are very unhappy,” said senior Meg Ryan. Grandparent’s Day has been a long-standing tradition for Roncalli and was missed this year by many.

Lani Cummings, the director of food and catering services, works hard to satisfy

the lunch cravings of students and staff. She is contemplating changes to the lunch menu for the future. During the summer, she and the lunch staff may change the pizza crust for the individual pizza slices. Next year there will definitely be a new lunch called ‘fiesta chicken rice meal’ that will show up on Thursdays. “It is very creamy and has the flavor profile of Mexican,” said Cummings. Teriyaki beef bites may make it; it is still being decided. There are many questions students want to know about lunches. For example, why is only one door open on Papa John Pizza day? Why do we only have Papa John’s as a fast food choice? Are we going to continue having Taco Bar and Chicken Nuggets/Fries every Friday? Why is Oriental Bar and Chicken Caesar Wrap only served once in awhile? Mrs. Cummings said both doors are not open on Papa John’s day because there is a third cashier. The third cashier helps people get through faster. Another reason is because not all students want Papa John’s or can afford it. The lunch staff needs to make another entrée for those students. Papa John’s is the only fast food option because it’s more expensive when other vendors come in. The other reason Cummings gave was that it is just not healthy. “Roncalli has intelligent, quality lunch ladies that make good food for students.”

Taco Bar and Chicken Nuggets/Fries are popular, especially the Chicken Fries. Cummings said once those lunches begin to have a decline in sales then they will be changed. Finally, the Oriental Bar and Chicken Caesar Wrap are in a three week rotation which is why students don’t see these entries as often. In addition, Chicken Caesar Wraps take a long time to prepare and need two people working in the back to get them done; it is a labor issue. Mrs. Cummings considers the lunch room “the heart of Roncalli.” “I and the lunch staff love our job. We love being here and taking care of the lunch needs.” Mrs. Cummings puts a lot of hard work into the lunches and wants people to love them.

What’s cookin’ in the café Take a look at the most and least favored Rebel lunches

In one week, the school year will become a fading image in a rear-view mirror.

Summer is quickly nearing; it is a time for relaxation, running errands, vacationing and even working. Being out increases the chance of one encountering a suspicious stranger. It’s important to be always be aware of one’s surroundings whether at a grocery store parking lot, at the mall or a movie theater.

Walking down the stairs of your house may be something you do without even thinking, but it is likely you will recognize every face you see. This was not the case for sophomore Josh Pawlak. “I was home alone and when I came downstairs, there was this guy halfway through my back door. I actually waved a little bit because I thought it was one of my sister’s friends. He just kind of ran at me, so I ran at him out of instinct. He punched me across the face and I fell over and he got on top of me. Then I used some wrestling stuff and got on top of him, and then he stopped me, pushed me over and ran out the door.” It was over Spring Break when Pawlak encountered a home burglary. He said that the back doors were not locked, and he was downstairs just before the man entered. “I just went upstairs to get my iPod. I was going to come right back down anyway.”

After the man ran out back and disappeared, Pawlak dialed 911, but he said that they have still not caught him. “I didn’t think anything of it while it was happening because it just happened really fast. After I called the police and hung up, it hit me,” said Pawlak.

About 2,000 abductions occur daily in the United States, which cause dangerous situations that are sometimes difficult to escape. While more methods are being developed, abduction rates continue to remain constant. Contrary to what most people think is true, young children are not the most frequent victims of abduction; teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are targeted most, with female statistics soaring over male. Johnson County Sheriff Terry McLaughlin said that teens should be most aware of their surroundings and pay attention to things around and about. “It’s important not to talk to people you don’t know and to stay away from meeting people online. Many teens are giving too much basic information out there,” said McLaughlin. He continues on by saying, “the two most common abductions occur from divorces and sex offenders.” Regardless of where you are, you should always be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

.• Always carry your keys in your

hand before you get to your car.• Check the back seats as soon as

you get in.• Go to the bathroom with at

least one other person (most importantly girls).

• Girls who wear their hair in a ponytail are easier to grab.

• Never sit in your car alone if you are doing something such as talking on the phone or texting.

•When given the option, choose elevators over stairs.

Prevent abduction• Keep your doors locked at

all times• Shut your windows when

you leave the house and at night when asleep.

• Do not post anything online that says you will be gone on vacation for a week or more (this is an open invitation for someone to rob a house).

• Indoor and outdoor lighting gives the impression that you are home, so it's always a good idea to keep a few on.

Chapel: Construction on the new chapel and administrative wing began in July and was completed in mid-April.

Father Wilmoth: In early April, Father Wilm-oth was awarded the 2010 Distinguished Pastor Award by the National Catholic Edu-cation Association. Only 10 pastors around the country were given this award.

Gymnastics: The Rebel gymnasts earned second in state this year at the end of March. Senior Alyssa Ser-vie was awarded first place in all-around and beam.

Alexa Eberg: Senior Alexa Eberg swims breast stroke at the Franklin Central invite in December. This year, she qualified for state in the 200 IM.

The body may be giving off messages differently than the words

How do teachers know when a student is bored with the topic at hand? How does an interrogator decide whether a person is being truthful? The answer may be found in the

person’s body language- the habitual reaction people give off when faced with a certain situation. While some people react differently, and some people have trained their bodies to avoid giving off these signals, research shows that most people show more truth through their body than through their words. These simple, everyday moments that seem to be just another reaction may actually be the key to locked emotions. Body language is something that most teachers learn to read as they go through their years. Many things such as boredom, lying and nerves can be shown through the actions of a student. When bored, most people will start “looking around, moving things, fumbling and become oblivious to their environment,” said Art teacher Mr. Mark Stratton. Note that while a person’s body language is a good base for seeing people’s true emotions, it is not a fool proof method.

From Mr. Stratton: How can you tell if someone is...Day Dreaming: glazed eyes, seldom blinks, oblivious to their environmentLying: fidgets, lack of eye contact, shifting of body weightCheating: jumpy, frightens easily, quick movementNervous: jumpy, frightens easily, very slow and deliber-ate movementsPaying Attention: eyes follow you, facial expressions (smile, snarl, etc.)

summer and everything it means- hot days by the pool, concerts at night and most importantly, vacations. The chance to take a short weekend trip or long week trip remains one of the most exciting parts of summer. However, taking vacations always means time spent in the car or on a plane. The pure boredom students experience while traveling can diminish the excitement of a trip for even the most thrilled individual. In order to avoid this, people over time have devised a multitude of things to do while traveling. With preparation, travelers are not quite as wary of the hours spent on the road or in the sky. Teenagers have always made sure to prepare a number of favorite games and diversions for a trip. Old standbys are often mentioned by students, and games created in desperation by their parents are explained too. For instance, junior Anna Fanelli’s family created the ‘my cows’ game. “Everyone yells ‘my cows’ when we pass a

group of cows. The first person to yell it gets to add the cows to their tally. The person who has the most cows at the end, wins!” Junior Alyssa Annee knows that the drives to tournaments can be super boring, so her team has come up with a solution. “On the way to tournaments, we always play Mad libs. They’re so funny and everyone ends up laughing at the random answers!” Juniors Hannah Hartnett and Emma Schutte both say that they depend on technology, such as music and a portable DVD player, while traveling. Juniors Taylor McLaughlin and Ben Hall prefer traditional games such as the license plate game and the ABC game. Then there’s junior Connor Hartford who states, “Personally, my favorite thing to do is Chinese Fire Drills.” Do not let traveling this summer be boring. Before you leave on a trip, plan to try out any of the ones above or ask around for more ideas. With just a little preparation, the journey to your vacation may become one of the best parts of your summer.

As the school year winds down, spring sports begin tournament playOn the sideline

Boys Volleyball got off to a fantastic start this year finish-ing second in the Cathedral tourney and winning seven out of their first ten games. Despite their young and developing players, they are still succeeding on the court. “I am inspired by them. We are a younger team, but we are playing like vet-erans,” said senior Brian Sahm. The boys still have a chunk of their season left to play and hope to compete in the state finals.

How many of you know where La Pinta Field is? This home for the Baseball team is nestled quietly in the back corner of Roncalli’s campus. Baseball is one of the many spring sports that tends to go unnoticed for many reasons: their season runs concurrently with the end of the academic year, students are busy cramming for finals and AP tests, and there is generally less spirit and pre-game events comparable to fall season football. However, they have had a stellar season so far. Their winning record proves that they have been managing without a crowd, yet they would definitely appreciate one at the RHS invite that takes place tomorrow. They will look to follow up on their big 16-7 win against North Central this weekend.

There have been some ups and downs with this year’s boy’s track and field team. Some bright spots this year include Julian Zunarelli winning high jump and Luke Winningham winning discus at the Catholic Invite. Alex Schoettle also placed first in the 800m at the Bill Self Invitational. “Personally I am really proud of the way I have done, but all of my teammates are exceeding as well,” said senior thrower Matt Masengale.

Rebels race to the finish in Mini MarathonRebel students and staff members endure the largest mini marathon road race in the United States

With a cold, blustery wind in their faces, over 30,000 runners and walkers took part in the Indianapolis Mini-

Marathon May 8th, the world’s largest half- marathon (13.1 miles) and the fifth largest road-race in America. Many Rebels participated in the race this year. English teacher Mr. Marco Ray started preparing for this year’s race as soon as he finished last year’s, giving him a 12 months to get into shape. He runs about 10 miles a week for most of the year. This was chemistry teacher Miss Sarah Barna’s second time running the race. “I start preparing in January by running three to four miles about three times a week. Once March comes around, I keep up the three to four miles three times a week, but I plan one longer run each week. This longer run adds one mile each week until I reach a peak of 12 miles about one month before the Mini,” said Barna. Junior Ben Hall ran his ninth mini marathon earlier this

Although the Lacrosse team has been inconsistent in terms of wins and losses, the boys remain optimistic. The seniors on the team have made a big impact on this year’s success. “The trio of myself (Feldhake), Addison Dunne, and Andrew Sahm along with the midfield monsters, Nick Eble and Nathan Berrones, have led the team to new heights,” said Senior Mitchell Feldhake. The team plays their last game this Friday against the International School, and hopefully they can come away with a win.

Rugby With so many new players this year, the Rebel Rugby team has endured a plethora of struggles. One of the biggest obstacles of that arose this season for the team was “teaching the new guys the fundamentals of the game,” said senior Alastair Merkel. Despite these adversities, they have managed to win a few games including a win over Pendleton and Cincinnati Moeller. With all of these underclassmen returning to the field next year with more experience, hopefully they can achieve more.

Almost all spring sports go unrecognized, and track and field is no exception. What sets this girl’s track and field team apart from the rest is that the sport calls on the individual. Who needs a crowd? Their exemplary performance thus far proves that an individual sport athletes’ game is dependent of both teammates and crowds. In the Patriot Invite, Bridget Perry placed second in the high jump. She also won the high jump at the Catholic Invite, which also earned her the second highest jump in school history. “Bridget has really commanded the team from the underclassmen rank,” said senior Lauren Ezell. All of the girls are doing great in each and every event thus far in the season.

It seems as if every year, the Rebel softball team has a successful season. This year has not been any different. “We’ve played some really good games and have competed against some of the top teams in the state,” said senior Lauren Ross. Some of these games include a win over Cathedral, as well as an away victory against Chatard. The girls still have a few games left on their season, including the Varsity Invite. Of course, the team’s biggest aspiration for this year is “making it to State!”.

The girl’s tennis team began this year’s season with a bang. They opened with a victory over Scecina followed by finishing second in the Southport Invitational. For the past three years, the Lady Rebels have won sectionals. However, they were unable to capture regionals each time. “We want to win sectionals again and finally win regionals for the first time in school history,” said senior Marie Kegley. With good work ethic, this goal does not seem out of reach for the team.

With the majority of their schedule set for the summer, the golf team has plenty of room for success. Certain individuals have stood out from the rest of the pack. Last week at the Marion County Tournament, Rebels Louie Gleixner and Andrew Fogg tied for third overall. Despite a few hard losses, the team’s aspirations remain high. “We have fallen short the past few years, but we really have a chance to get state if we play to our ability,” said Gleixner.

month. “As far as training I do very little compared to most runners, maybe one or two long runs. This year my goal is one hour and 28 minutes,” said Hall. He narrowly missed his goal finishing in one hour 35 minutes. Social Studies teacher Mrs. Erin Bohn conquered the race for the fourth time. “I try to train as much as I can, but I’ve never had to train with two kids. It makes it very difficult to find enough time” said Bohn. People volunteer to work at water stations and Gatorade endurance stations on the course. At these stations, people hand out water or Gatorade to runners and walkers as they pass by. The volunteers also fill up a layer of paper cups with water, cover them with cardboard, and set up another layer of cups on top until they have a virtual wedding cake of cups on every table.

Nothing tops a nostalgic moment like composing the final issue of the 2009-2010 school year. Writing this piece and putting together the eight pages that compile the paper allows me to look back at the school

year that was, and reflect on the honor of being a Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Rebel Review. I would like to personally thank each and every one of you who were monthly followers of our production. We have had fun breaking interesting and intriguing stories that directly affected the students, teachers and staff members. This year we completely altered the format of our paper much to our consumer’s pleasure. Many of you have commented on how you like the clean and easy-flowing format. We also covered more things about Roncalli because in the end, our objective is to cover news that directly affects the Roncalli family. On behalf of the entire Rebel Review staff, we have enthusiastically enjoyed producing the Rebel Review. The returning staff is completely optimistic about the direction of the paper. As a whole, they will continue to carry out the Rebel Review’s mission of ethical writing and a reader-friendly layout. The promotion of Alix Richardson and Kristen West to Co-Editor’s-in-Chief will greatly benefit next year’s staff. Alix will bring her unwavering dedication to complete news coverage while Kristen will continue to make the newspaper look professional and clean. Again, thank you to everybody who supported the Rebel Review throughout the school year. The publication will take a three-month hiatus for summer, but will come back next September to continue to live up to high expectations. On behalf of the entire Rebel review staff, again, thank you for supporting the Rebel Review. Have a safe, relaxing and sun-splashed summer.

When it comes to writing, I’m definitely not the guy to come to for a front page story. I do a lot of writing off the top of my head and don’t like to spend a lot of time thinking about what I want to say and how I can properly word everything

to correctly get across my point. However, this time it is different. I have had my entire senior year to reflect and think about all the good times that I have had working on the newspaper. It is hard to describe our class without rambling on too much. I guess the one word that closely relates what newspaper class is like would be different. Some might see that as a negative term, however, being a little more optimistic, I think that being different is a term that has defined our success. In journalism, the newspapers that succeed are the ones that go above and beyond the norm. The newspapers that people remember are the ones that come up with story ideas that are the same as the competition, yet have a completely different take on it. I think we have brought a lot of attention to our newspaper this year, because we focused more on our student body and on our school itself, an aspect that completely sets Roncalli apart from all other schools. Therefore, it is only appropriate for me, and I think I can also speak for the entire newspaper class, to say thank you. It is because of the extraordinary and outstanding people that call themselves Roncalli Rebels that gives people like me and C.J. the opportunity to succeed in something that we love. I would personally like to thank C.J. for his massive and substantial efforts this year as my P.I.C. (Partner in Crime). Without him, there would be no existence of the Rebel Review. He receives only a small amount of credit for the work that he does. He’s a great writer and a fantastic editor. I would also like to thank Mrs. Albertson for obviously everything that she does for the Review. Her encouragement and advice-giving throughout the year has been nothing short of spectacular. I would like to acknowledge all of our writers and designers-in-training who did an excellent job of stepping up to the plate this year and helping to produce a paper that I believe has been the best so far and still has the potential to be even better. Again, I would like to thank all of our readers for their wonderful support.
