Sandpoint High senior pranks throughout the years Class of 2007: Recent “pranks” just don’t compare. So far the Class of 2007 has pulled two unforgettable pranks: Over Christmas break there were several break-ins and possibly some of them were intended to be senior pranks. However, they crossed the line from funny to felony. The school was broken into via the window of W14, Mrs. Booth’s room where the pranksters unplugged all the computers and moved them to one corner and they pulled every desk and chair to cover the door so that it could not open from the outside. The other involved a deer, which was placed into the boy’s bathroom in the 2005-2006 school year. Why can’t the class of 2007 pull a couple of less harmful (not to mention disgusting) and more amusing pranks that will involve more chuckles and less property damage? It’s time to step up.
Ten Years ago:
1996
Social studies teacher Ray Miller (now Sandpoint’s mayor) was the subject of one of the most inventive pranks to occur in Sandpoint High. It started with student Casey McLaughlin (presently a social studies teacher at SHS) and a few buddies wanting to send the year off memorably. “We got the keys to the school from an unnamed administrator or teacher and broke into the class with twine, toilet paper and ladders and we hung the desks from the ceiling and flipped everything upside down. Posters and all, everything but Mr. Miller’s desk, which was way too heavy, was upside down. I’m not exactly sure how the pipes didn’t break. Then we toilet-papered the room to the point where you were just walking through toilet paper. Being a senior, I had to get Mr. Miller’s signature to sign out, and he knew it had been me who had pranked him, and he wouldn’t sign me out, so I had to go to his class every day until the last day of school. I remember going into the room the day after, toilet paper overflowing in the garbage can and twine all over the ceiling still, nothing was flipped back over and he told me he was going to kill me. It was great,” McLaughlin said.
1995
Likely, 1996’s prank was inspired in part by the prank pulled by 1995: As remembered by Miller: “A year before Mr. McLaughlin’s group pranked me, another group actually emptied a room, I don’t remember whose it was and moved it into Mr. Iverson’s room. The entire thing, desks, tables, chairs, his desk, all of it. Rascals,” Miller said.
One year ago: Class of 2006 pulled two pranks: they held a slumber party in the SHS parking lot and later threw a class-wide pillow fight. Fluffy, soft fun (minus the binder in Michael Staggs pillow).

The Fabulous Life Of... Vanessa stanley Staff reporter
The 2007 Seniors
Freshman year, commencement into a whirlwind of stereotypes, swashbuckling, trucker hats and skate shoes. Amidst the short skirts, frosted hair and ballet flats our country entered a commitment unlike any other. Yellow ribbons, patriotic bumper stickers and Americana galore flooded the nation, temporarily taking the place of “My other ride’s your Grandma” bumper stickers. Within a few years, after many false pretenses and promises, the war continued and patriotic stickers faded out, soon to be replaced with “anti-bush,” “anti-gov’t,” “anti-society,” etc. These international actions spurred trends, opinions and attitudes here in the United States, that became synonymous with our generation. Branded with the title “children of the future,” we as young adults are exploring new terrain; both politically and socially - combining personal and national interest with fashion, trends and entertainment. Beginning in 2001, the Apple Company released an innovative form of portable media players. These eliminated the hassle of having to skip through an entire CD in order to listen to the choice song. With each new generation, the iPod gathered recognition and popularity. Gradually, the prices decreased and new, smaller versions of the iPod were released. Six years later, the ipod has swept the teenage population taking up as much as normality as cell phones in the lives of teens. The realm of reality television was truly defined throughout the past four years. Shows including, American Idol, Survivor, American Chopper, Laguna Beach, Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette enraptured the minds of viewers nationwide. These shows, much like the seasoned “Real World” provided for televised, dramatic views into the lives of select “average Americans.” Dramatic theme music, cat fights, “challenges” and the ever frequent immunity blared from the television sets of teens, influencing their language, music interests and after school activities. The emotional punk movement (emo) has rocketed from the depths of it’s origin in the 80s into the 21st century causing boys to emaciate themselves, emo girls to imitate the emo boys and creating a society of darkened minds, hidden eyes and an overall morbid interpretation of life in general. Common symptoms of the “emo syndrome” include: Sporting airtight pants (comfortability optional). Eyes enshrouded behind a security blanket of bangs, causing for frequent neck cracking bang whips. Blaring “emo-screamo” music loud enough to drown out their delusions of life’s miserable conditions, and attracting unwanted attention to their deep connotations of human emotions. Physically evolving from hairspray-caked-volcanic do’s, shoulder pads and scrunchies, girls and women today have embraced our modernizing society, and are creating a transfusion of power and femininity. Musical artist Gwen Stefani, who’s gone from lead singer - to solo artist - to wife - to clothing designer - to mother - all the while managing to maintain her place on the fashion icon list has popularized the hairstyle known as “girl poof.” A strategically placed
“poof” of hair created by using pins, and a mass of bangs, can be seen towering above the foreheads of teens and celebrities. The men of our society have also been liberated from the constraining bowl-cuts, and comb overs parting way for shaggy surfer hair, “emo hair,” as well as faux-hawks. European soccer player David Beckham, commercialized the hairstyle, which allows males to slide tackle, win World Cups and earn yellow cards all while having hair that looks fierce. Four years of emotional expansion, social and fashion evolvement has lead us to the brink of the real world. As we prepare to enter collegiate and working environments we take with us the knowledge (and pain) of growing up and moving on from sky dancers to iPods, craving coffee more than juice boxes and becoming full fledged materialistically-conscious adults.

Q: Did you feel pressure from your family to be salutatorian? A: No, my parents support whatever I do. Q; What was the most difficult class for you throughout your

Q: Did you feel pressure from your family to be salutatorian? A: Only pressure from myself. Q: How do you feel about the title you’ve received?
A: I’ve always thought it would be cool, but I wouldn’t be heart broken if I wasn’t. Q; What was the most difficult class for you throughout your high school career? A: I had a hard time with physics. But I did like the class. Q: Do you find the whole scene of valedictorian/ salutatorian to be overrated?

A: No, my main goal has probably been getting the best education here at SHS. It’s not about the GPA. I love to learn. Q: Did you feel pressure from your family to be salutatorian? A: None at all, the only person who pressured me has been myself. Q: Has salutatorian always been something you’ve wanted? Why? A: It’s not something I’ve always
wanted. I was lucky enough and I put enough effort in that my passion for learning has led me to be salutatorian. Q: Do you find the whole scene of valedictorian/ salutatorian to be overrated? A: I think it’s a huge honor. The people who were awarded it either knew what they needed to do to get it, or just put in the most effort. Q: If you could take a class that you didn’t have time to take, what class would you take and why? A: I would have done either

Alison Dunbar Staff reporter Memories of childhood are easily stirred with the simple mention of a song nobody should know the lyrics to... but everyone does. Maybe it is because kids, with less experience, are more easily caught up in what is popular and so most teenagers have many of the same memories of childhood memorabilia. Bands, movies, television shows and all the toys (everyone else had) are all icons of adolescence which bring back a flow of happy memories.

SHS 180 religious club propagates throughout school

Dr. Kiebert brings refreshing, new attitude to SHS Dear Editor, Could it be the pukey-looking floors, all the state championship sports teams, or could it be a person? What could be the best thing that has happened to SHS in the past few years? Although the floors are, um… nice, and state championships are something to be proud of, I believe that securing Dr. Kiebert as our principal is the most praise-worthy event our school has undergone in recent times. I was a skeptic at the beginning of the year, but I quickly grew to know and love the Doctor. In the Doctor’s bag, she brought some new rules, a couple changes to the system, but overall everything she has done appears to be positive and fair. She is not only a great leader and an energetic woman with a vibrant personality, she supports every club, activity, and each individual student. To know the names of practically 1,500 students, and the entire faculty - that is an impressive feat in itself, not to mention the fact that she did it within a couple of months. The doctor lives a healthy and balanced lifestyle and is a great administrator, role model and friend to any of us. She is a woman who can kick your butt at four-square, owns a rafting company, and is not afraid to jokingly brag over the phone about the specifics of her V-8 engine, while threatening to rally her Suburban past you as you and your friends drive to Coeur d’Alene…!
Christine Miller Senior
Dear Editor, The end of the year is here. As for all of the seniors, they are all about to depart from all the friends that they have known at the high school and embark on their adventure to college. We, the 180 club, have something to say. Most importantly we want all of the seniors to hear us out, but we direct this to anyone and everyone who wants to know. If you discovered the cure for cancer, what would you do? You would probably shout it from the rooftops, right? Well, we have found the cure for a much bigger disease: the natural tendency of the human nature. Let us explain. One of the members of the 180 club has a cute little 3-year-old brother who is absolutely adorable. He laughs, smiles, and plays just like every other toddler. And just like every other toddler they eventually grab a toy in a rude manner right out of another child’s hands. “NNNNOOOOOOO, it’s MMMMine (RRRrrrr).” How do they learn this at such a young age? I am pretty sure you don’t see your parents go around snatching things and acting like little toddlers. This obviously shows that there is something natural in us that makes us strive with selfish ambition to be number one. Additionally, we will be honest, it is so much easier to do wrong than to do right. Our human nature is to look at authority and rebel. On a larger scale we find it very easy to look at God of the universe and say, “Yeah you might be real but I don’t want to put down my selfishness and pride to realize that I need to follow Your commandment things.” All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We deny God and His perfect ways. Because of our lineage and our choice, we are depraved and totally incapable of pleasing God. The punishment for our choice to rebel against God is hell. The wages of sin is death. Did you know that there is nothing we can do to save ourselves? It is a fact that we cannot be saved from hell by any works or anything except by Jesus Christ dying for us. For example, imagine that there was a murderer that was tried and sentenced to life in prison. There was absolutely nothing he could do to save himself from this punishment. He rightfully deserved it because he chose to do these deeds (no one made him). Just as he was about to be hauled to prison, a man stepped forward and said, “I want to take his place. He fully deserves his sentence, but I love him and will take his place for him.” That is what God did for us. We fully deserve hell but Jesus took our spot. He took our spot. He was crucified for us. He took on all the punishment and sins of the whole world. “The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) That is called AMAZING grace. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) This shows that there is no other way but through Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) These two verses state His love for us. What do we have to do to get this gift? What did the murderer do to get the gift of the man taking his place? He did NOTHING but accept it. “What is it that I have to accept?” you might ask. All you have to do is admit you are a sinner, in need of a Savior, and believe that Jesus came and laid down His life so that you can be saved from eternal damnation. You might say , “Well I believe in something else.” But as we have stated before, Jesus is the ONLY way. After He died on the cross he arose again on the third day as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:4. Over 500 witnesses saw Him after He died and rose again. By Him rising from the dead, which was prophesied in the 10th century which was about 1,000 years before the resurrection of Jesus Christ, separates Christianity from all other religions. You might think that you are a pretty good person but that is not the point. Why would someone go through such an awful and gruesome death if we could go to heaven just by being “good” people? If you were the only person on this planet, He would have still willingly given His life for you because He LOVES you so much and wants to have a personal relationship with you. You are His beloved. What will you do with the person of Jesus Christ? He didn’t make us robots; He gave us free choice to accept this gift. You also might think that you have done so much that no one could possibly take away all your sin. By His stripes and wounds we are healed, says the Bible. Choose this day who you will serve. You never know when you will die. Don’t wait. Believe in Him, turn from your selfish ways, and you shall be saved. God allows u-turns. If you have any questions ask your 180 club friends.

Seniors preparing for next season, competing on collegiate stage
Over a score of Sandpoint High School athletes planning on competing at the college level during 07- 08 season Kyle Gibson
receive a scholarship,but is on the team and is eligible for a scholarship the following year. A few seniors are walking on for their sports, but are looking to obtain scholarships after a year under their belt. “I’m walking on at U of I for cheerleading,” Fawn Youngdahl said. As the seniors leave to college, most are staying in the northwest, but some are moving a little more than a car ride away. Athletics in college also open chances around States,
Staff reporter
College is all about moving on to bigger and better things, and the seniors athletes are doing just that sending quite a crowd of athletes onto the next stage including Tyler Lichty, Savanna Lester, Kurt Stoll, Kyle Meaux, Joey Fio, Taylor and Jerod Morris and many others. There are 21 seniors that are continuing to pursue their sports is college. As one of the best graduating classes in terms of athletics, these athletes are stepping up to the next level of competition and are welcoming the challenge “My goals have always been to get to the next level, and I’m excited about the change of pace,” Meaux said. Other are just ready to get back to playing the sport they were chosen to continue, and get back to team camaraderie. “I’m really looking forward to playing with the team and getting back into the team aspect of it,” Stoll said. Along with bring up the level of competition, there will be better coaching and opportunities to become a better athlete. “I’m looking forward to pitching at a higher level, and the coaching is going to be better,” Lichty said. With all the athletes going to college, many received scholarships for their sports, and some received scholarships for academics as well. Walking on is when an athlete doesn’t
to travel the United and visit new places as they compete. “I’m really looking forward to traveling during our season,” Lester said. Next seasons some of the seniors will be seeing each on a more regular basis. Stoll, Austin Jones, Will Andrews and Tyler Jinright will all being playing each other in football because their

schools play in the Frontier League. The Morris twins, who both received academic scholarships, are attending the Oregon State University for wrestling.
“I thinks it’s such a big campus, so I won’t see him much, but it is nice knowing that there is someone there I know,” Taylor Morris said. As all the seniors athletes leave for college, they leave with the confidence that they have four years of experience and performed to the potential, that is why they are asked to move to the next level.
