Students clamored around the husk of a banged up 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with money in hand, ready to watch and participate in the third annual car smash from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 2. A ruckus of cheers erupted from the crowd as each student, donning the student council (StuCo) issued bicycle helmet, gardening gloves and goggles and armed with a thin metal bat, beat the car from every angle. When not battering, students huddled in groups to enjoy the complementary s'mores and music.

Through years of practice, senior Henry Huang became a nationally recognized musician, loosing and rediscovering his passion along the way.
