![At the bottom of the third inning, the Lions are still scoreless. Rowe stands at home plate, preparing to bat, while Vandenbrink stands off to the side as the next batter up. Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
dog days of alaskan winters-Snow Daze
Snow Daze
The mighty grizzly bear
Consumes the long nights
Shivers
Over the hills the moon hangs low
The wind was cold and air crisp in our lungs
You could sense the snowfall
There was a calm but eerie feeling looming in the air
Tunnels of darkness, a tricky labyrinth
The nights are long and you yearn for sunlight
It’s all comforting
These were the dog days of Alaskan winters
Consuming, cold, crisp, calm, eerie, dark
