Cosplay: A Subculture
Costume-Play, more commonly known as “Cosplay,” is a phenomenon that has been around for years, originating in the 1960s while “Star Trek” was airing on television. Star Trek fans would organize small Star Trek conventions, and come in homemade costume as their favorite characters. Now cosplayers travel across the country to conventions where they meet other cosplayers and sometimes compete in contests. Today, cosplay covers a broad spectrum of fandoms, a group surrounding books, movies, TV shows, video games, etc. Costumes are often made by their wearer, which adds an extra aspect of creativity.

Crazy $cholarships
Although searching for college grants can be intimidating, if brave enough to dive into the depths of the world of scholarships, one might stumble upon some unusual and even ridiculous gems.
Samo musicians take YoungArts
Have an artsy summer
When Samo student Annabel Renshaw (’16) attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts — an intensive art camp located in Interlochen, MI — last summer, it turned out to be one of the best decisions she ever made. Not only did she take serious dance classes, but she interacted with many other students her age with a similar drive.
Alumni contributions
Gardening Club
You walk though the concrete walls that envelop high school, rushing from class to class, looking only at your phone or a vocab list for the test you’re about to take. However, if you take the time to look up, you’ll see little pockets of color and life thanks to Samo’s Gardening Club.
Anime Club
For over ten years, Samo’s Anime Club has been one of the strongest, most relaxing clubs on campus. It specializes in everything Anime—from anime related games to watching undiscovered anime clips.
Super Smash Bros Club
If you like killing your friends in a virtual world as a fat short man with a mustache or a laser-toting fox, then you should check out Super Smash Brothers Club. Started by Finn Bordal (’14), Jason Oyakawa (’14) and Daniel Chenevert (’14), the club provides setups of all three of the popular Super Smash Brothers games for students to play.
Elliot Baumohl: Student Writer
For most high school students, the idea of a future career is a distant concept. However two Samo students, Bryce Johnson (’16) and Elliot Baumohl (’14), have already succeeded in creating names for themselves in the world of online journalism.

Samo Film Presents: SamoHIGHLIGHTS
When you think of CityTV, you might imagine a continuous live stream of dull city council meetings, interrupted by a few black and white infomercials. Nevertheless, the Samo film department is working to expand the channel’s audience by adding a show of its own, “Samohighlights,” to the Saturday morning routine.

A Day in the Life of a Cadet
Most Samo students would cringe at the thought of having to wake up everyday at 6:00 a.m., turning the lights out at 10:00 p.m. and having less than two hours of free time, yet one Viking not only experienced this but learned from it. As a junior, Samuel Clark (’14) spent a year at the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad, California, an experience not many can relate to.
