TRITON YEARBOOK
2018 TRITON YEARBOOK GARNERS NATIONAL PROGRAM OF EXCELLENCE
With 99 percent of the student body covered three times or more, the Triton Yearbook staff was proud to celebrate
Distribution Day this Wednesday, May 30. This year's theme reflected the changes and challenges of the school year with "It Comes in Waves." The 72 person staff worked diligently to get our new publication to the student body amidst multi-shades of blue balloons and underneath confetti canons. It was a day to celebrate a year's worth of work to capture the history of the student body and to feature our second Humans of PVHS section by Davis Moore and Max Stafford, our first gatefold original comic by Rae Gundlach and our first fashion section by Rachel Paik and Judy Yamaguchi. We hope that you enjoy volume 46 of the yearbook with the knowledge that we poured our hearts and souls into it. We are proud to say that the book already gathered an award the National Program of Excellence award for 2018 for coverage and quality of photos and copy. We are happy to present this gift to you!

CHESS TOURNAMENT
Congratulations to the 2018 PVHS Chess Champion, Mr. Andrew Burda! For five days Sea King students and faculty gathered in the library to compete in a 16-slot, single elimination bracket. Some excellent and tight games were played and we all had a great time! Congratulations to Matin Razepoor for making it to the final round. The plan to play the final game with ice pieces, although already in the seventh iteration by then, melted more quickly than the competition; we called an audible and reverted to a wooden board but still the final game was not to be missed! Join in on next year's competition to see what plans are in the making for 2019!

Look for us next year at Club Rush and join the ReadTide as we read more student-selected titles and add more activities, challenges, and opportunities! Have a great summer!
