International
Thespian Ceremony

The following is from the North Salem Central School District:

Nineteen performing arts-driven high school students were recognized for their
hard work in areas ranging from dance to music, literature to theater, as part of the
newly reinstated North Salem International espian Society.

What started with just ve members at the beginning of the school year grew
exponentially at the May 23 induction ceremony, which also included student per-
formances and presentations and a reception to celebrate the current and new mem-
bers.

“ e [students] designed the whole thing,” Doug Coates, troupe director of North
Salem’s International espian Society, said of the evening. “I wanted our kids to be
recognized for the work that they do. ere is such insane talent in this building and
I want them to understand how important it is what they do.”

Students involved in the arts were able to earn points throughout the school year,
as designated by the Educational eatre Association, for everything from perform-
ing the lead roles in the school’s productions to operating the light board for a show.

Coates also noted that in addition to celebrating achievement, the International
espian Society is a service organization that teaches students to give back to the
community that supports them.

e evening’s highlights also included recognition of the administrators and
faculty who have inspired students to celebrate the performing arts. In particular,
the o cers were thrilled to recognize Lesley Hoagg, who serves as director of the
middle school drama club and is retiring at the end of the year.

In the coming years, Coates hopes to see the International espian Society ex-
pand in North Salem to continue to enhance the arts o erings in the district.

“ is year, they earned the money to put down a new oor for the stage. I want
to see them do more,” he said.

North Salem golfers finish season 6-6

BY LUKE BUGONI
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

e North Salem golf team’s season recently came to end, Antonio Salinas McCall Valentin
and with it, the end of an era.

e team had 11 golfers, six of them graduating seniors.
“ is group that’s graduating has been the backbone of the
program for the last three years,” said coach Chris Regan.

e team, which featured six rst-year golfers, nished
with a 6-6 overall record and went 3-3 in a league that
consisted of Putnam Valley, Haldane and Pawling.

In addition to having multiple new faces within the
program, the team also had numerous experienced golfers.
Senior Michael He ernan, who was named the Most
Improved Player, and senior John Buchanan have each been
in the program for ve years. Senior Luke Devey and junior
Jonathan Aversano were also in the program for four years.

Luke Devey and Mike Horan were named to the All-
League team. Horan, who was also named team MVP, was a
member of the baseball team last year but played his rst year
of varsity golf this season.

With only ve players set to return to the roster, Regan
and coach Joel Cassidy will be looking to add more golfers
throughout the year.

“It’s a great chance to pick up and learn a life sport,” said
Regan. “It’s a sport that can be played throughout your life
and it’s a great skill to have. We stress the idea that this is
something you can do for the rest of your life.”

e Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. ADVERTISE
According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the trail stretches across 14 states from
Maine to Georgia. e total length of the trail is 2,192 miles. Millions of visitors traverse all IN HALSTON
or a portion of the trail every year. Many thru-hikers attempt to hike the entirety of the trail
in a single season, beginning either at the trail head at Springer Mountain, GA or Mount MEDIA’S
Katahdin, ME. ose who have hiked the trail estimate it typically takes ve to seven months
to do so in its entirety. Most hikers can average about three miles an hour and will travel LOCAL
between 12 to 24 miles a day. e highest elevation of the trail can be found at Clingmans
Dome on the Tennessee/North Carolina Border. e lowest point on the trail snakes through NEWSPAPERS?
Bear Mountain State Park in New York. Although the AP trail is a very long hiking trail, many
day hikers do portions of it only and still can respectfully say they’ve hiked the AP trail. As a longtime Somers resident and
