Creek theater held their fall play, “Radium Girls,” from Thursday, Nov. 4 to Saturday, Nov. 5. Senior Molly Grantz, who plays Grace Fryer, the lead, cries as she is offered a hush deal by the watch-making company after filing a lawsuit against them. Fryer, among many other women who painted glow-in-the-dark watch faces with radium paint, fell ill with radium poisoning and decided to speak out against the wrongful actions and denial of responsibility within the company she worked for.

Sophomore Connor Larkin stands on deck as junior Brayden Yasuzawa bats. Despite an under-.500 2022 record of 9-14, varsity baseball is currently 8-4 and nearly undefeated against in-state opponents. 2022’s season was, in a word, disappointing. The year before, in 2021, Creek had a 13-5 record and was 13th in Class 5A. But in 2022, finishing 30th in Class 5A, the team lacked “chemistry and confidence,” according to senior designated hitter Ben Steele, who is currently second in team RBIs with 11. “We struggled last year because we didn’t have the same energy and fun as we are having right now,” Steele said. “We got off to a bad start last year and it translated to the rest of our season. Even our practices are much more energetic this year.”

Students gathered in the Fine Arts Theater on Thursday night to watch Mr. Creek, a longtime Power Week tradition where male Creek students perform in a pageant-like competition. After battling against other candidates, senior Cooper Collins won the title of Mr. Creek in front of a sold out crowd. “It was very unexpected and kind of surreal. Any one of the candidates could’ve won Mr. Creek, and when they said my name I think I almost passed out,” Collins said. “I probably would’ve if the guys didn’t pick me up.”
