As straight as an arrow, Kyla Stancik is constructing one for the Ganado Maidens softball field, with the support and guidance of her welding teacher, Albert Diaz, whom is fondly known as Mr. Diaz by all his students.

The arrow is made of carbon steel on three-inch pipes, and will be erected on top of the Maiden scoreboard. In addition, boys in the welding class are also building a similar one for the Indians’ field.

The Maidens’ arrow is special because Stancik is the only female in the welding class who’s also on the softball team. The junior said she went through tons of sketches, and demolished three erasers in the process.
