DC Lane was swarming with Yellowjackets during Club Rush on Sep. 14.
Colton, CA—During lunch on Sep. 14, DC Lane was buzzing with Yellowjackets participating in the annual Club Rush event. The event, designed to promote the school’s various clubs, organizations, and teams, featured a broad range of interactive booths.
This year introduced the school to a new club, the Dreamer Allies Club. This club is here to provide support for second language students in need of help with their skills with English.
Other clubs showed changes. The Dance Club, which showcases the school’s Dance Team, has a new adviser, Ms. Evelyn Lopez. And the Gaming Club, who broke into CIF gaming last year, showed off their growing membership.
Meanwhile, established clubs continued to draw new interest. Sports teams, like both boys and girls basketball made their presence felt. And both the HEAL Club and the Wellness Club continued providing positive spaces for students interested in medicine and mental health.

The Gaming Club has grown a lot this year. This club rush made their original three members look insignificant compared to how many people signed up. They even had a Promethean board out on DC Lane for anyone to come by and play a couple rounds of Super Smash Brothers. (Crimson & Gold Staff)

Our Yearbook class supplying us not only with these great photos you’re seeing now, but also the yearbook that is going to hold most of the memories we make this year.

Recently, the CHS Publications Department experienced a major theft as over $20,000 in photography equipment was stolen from our studio over Spring Break. This included all cameras. Any amount you donate will help rebuild our program. Thank you!
Mark Rodriguez is a sophomore at Colton High School. Other than the fact he is taller than you would expect a 15-year old to be, he's a pretty average high school kid. He tends to get out of line, but he somehow manages to fix that (sometimes). He's "smart" but struggles because of a lack of effort. However, when he tries, he can do excellent work (according to some sources). He likes to make people laugh and smile, but somehow he still struggles to talk to people.
This is Mark's second year writing for the Pepper Bough.
