6 ...to the Sioux Falls School District for going to four-day work week this summer: If the teachers can
handle four days a week and come out on top, why can’t we as students? Sure, our days may be an hour or so longer, but if it means a three-day weekend, then sign us up!
...to custodial efforts for getting RHS ready for another school year. This building looks good after countless
hours put in by custodians who cleaned out EVERY locker, EVERY classroom, and EVERY restroom in the building. Including all the time spent placing layers upon layers of wax on EVERY linoleum floor in EVERY wing.
...to another early school start date. Keep in mind that the sooner we start school, the sooner we will be out in May. We’re already looking forward to the summer of 2013.
...to efforts made by a group of Sioux Falls city council members who want to ban the sending, composing or receiving of text messages when behind the wheel. Sadly, this push came after the death of 33-year-old Philip Sorensen, who was killed in the July 26 hit and run accident on the corner of 33rd Street and S. Min nesota Avenue. 21-year-old Brent O’Neal, who admitted to speeding and texting when he hit the accident occurred, faces 1st and 2nd Degree Manslaughter charges. Let this accident be a lesson to RHS students, DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE!
...to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Who doesn’t love watching sports? And the fact that it was held in London this year makes it all the more worthwhile. The events brought the entire world together. The United States teams brought home a total of 104 medals, more than any other country. And a big thank-you to Lebron James for leading Team USA to victory one of the 46 gold medals the United States took home.
...to the cancellation of the auction for Black Hill Native American Land. This land is sacred and important to the people of the Black Hills, so it remain untouched and shouldn’t become another tourist attraction.
Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Nationalist staff members weigh in on school, local, national and world events from the Summer of 2012.
...to the Presidential election. In the race we have Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan v.s Barak Obama. Both candidates get high up in the running, then they decide to do/say something stupid and then they fall behind. It is anyone’s guess who will be the next president. It is our hope that all 18-year-olds at RHS will exercise their right to vote in this important November election. ...to the summer death of a toddler found in a closet. A couple was accused of using marijuana and other lethal drugs after the death of two-year-old Rielee Lovell, who was found dead in a closet in Charles Mix County earlier this summer.
...to the Colorado theatre shooting. On July 20, America lost yet another feeling of comfort it had when 24-year-old James Holmes went on a shooting rampage inside an Aurora, Colo. theatre, during opening night of “The Dark Knight Rises”. 12 people died and 58 more were wounded.
...to the Empire State Building shooting. On August 24, Jeffrey Johnson, a man who had lost his job last year, went to
the Empire State Building to shoot a former coworker. The police went on full force and attempted to get him, but they ended his life in the midst of saving others. Two people died and nine more were injured. We are concerned that blood was spilled at this popular tourist site.
...to Neil Armstrong death. The first American to step foot on the moon died on August 25. He will go down in history for his journey. “One small step for man, one giant leap for man-kind.”
...to Lance Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour De France titles. Armstrong was accused of
‘blood doping’ (a practice boosting the number of red blood cells in the blood stream). This caused him to lose all seven of his titles. However, there was not any proof of Armstrong ‘blood doping’.

High School Employment Welcome to the Jungle...of Jobs
Unemployed and Overjoyed
By Napoleon Martinez
By Myriam Medina
There are numerous reasons to get a job during your high school career, the sooner the better. For one thing, the entire reason you are in school is so that you can quickly get the education you need for a great future career. By getting a head start now you’ll quickly be able to reap what you sow. A continuous study from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth sampled 12,686 individuals between the ages of 14 and 22. Results from 1979-1991 showed that on average 80 percent of high school students work at some point during their junior or senior year. Why so large of a percentage? Simply because people not only need money, they want it, and if you get a job during high school you can make money for the things you want, prepare for the things you need and gain great experiences from it all. Life in the 21st century requires money to do nearly anything, from getting a parking space to getting the car that’s going to park there. As a kid I had to save up just to buy some quick fun. Every time I got twenty dollars it was like winning the lottery because I could go out and buy some new game or toy. Now that I’m a high school student, I have so many more things to consider buying. I buy food, gas, movie tickets, clothes, presents, you get the picture. As a teenager, you get hungry. As a driver, you need gas. As some of you start to get on the road you will soon realize that travel equals opportunity. When you start to drive it becomes much easier to leave the house to do the things you want to do, which will become more and more frequent, including work. Work will easily be reachable now that you can get anywhere in Sioux Falls in half an hour at max. By working you’re able to pay for many things you never would have had the money for otherwise. Lastly though, being in high school is like that final stepping stone. So looking towards the future you can be sure the most important thing a job offers isn’t what you take but what you keep. Firstly, though it might sound stupid now, keeping a savings account is an important part of personal finance. By having money for the future you can save up for important purchases, such as a car, college, or those oh-so expensive gifts for that special someone. It also creates experience, not only in a personal manner, but in a work-related manner as well. By getting a job you gain responsibility, money management skills, social skills and work experience, some of which will help when you’re trying to land that next big career of yours in the future. You might even make some business connections that’ll help out too; you meet lots of cool people when you start working. So whether you want to buy a bunch of sweet luxuries, save up for the future or just to keep yourself afloat as an individual, you can be sure that the experience and time will pay off.
A very widely discussed topic in the world of education is whether a teenager should work or not while attending school. In my point of view, teenagers should not work during school. Even though working as a student can have a variety of benefits, I personally think that the negative effects outweigh the positive ones. One of the many reasons work takes away from a positive education is that students find themselves in a position where they can’t find enough hours on the clock to juggle work and study, this leads many students to take hours away from sleeping. Sleeping is critical for teens who have jam-packed schedules. A study done by the college of Holy Cross and Brown University Medical School found that students that were getting C’s, D’s, and F’s got an average of 25 minutes less sleep than students who reported getting A’s and B’s. Not only do students lose hours of valuable sleep, many students that work a part time job during the school year lose valuable study time as well. When they have a heavy schedule, many students find it difficult to manage homework and work. The problem that this eventually creates is that many students feel so pressured to finishing their homework that they often resort to cheating. According to a survey done by Duke University, 75 percent of high school and college students admitted to cheating. 90 percent admitted to cheating off of someone else’s paper. High school students are being pressured into cheating because of various reasons including college, future plans, and the stress of a part time job. Finally, high school is about having fun and learning as you go down the path of finding who you are. Part of this experience is trying out new activities to find what best interests you. A part time job during the week might limit you from entering extracurricular activities. A job is a big responsibility all on its own, and this can hold many back from discovering hidden talents. High school should be a good experience for everyone and anybody who attends. School is about learning, and what better way to take advantage of the fact that country invests a lot of money for the sake of our good education. So have fun. We all have many years ahead of us after high school to work to earn and save money, so why worry about money ahead of time. Just as Bill Cosby said “The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.” At this point of our lives, we shouldn’t have to be forced to give up something you want to do because of work. School is our job, and we should be focusing on studying instead of working. The Nationalist - September 5, 2012
8 The Hots of 2012:
The see through look (sheer tops) is exceptionally on fire this year, whether it is the long sleeve look or the cut off sleeve, but with a cami, it comes right off of the rack. Also, It is officially the unwritten rule that you are not allowed leave the house without owning at least one pair of colored skinny jeans or a pair of cowboy boots. Of course, the amazing styled animal print is just as fierce as ever, as long as you wear it right! If you want to add a little dazzle to your look, go out and get yourself a sparkly top and while you are at it, grab a pair of Toms. And for those casual Fridays, a simple tee with a cute design will get you far. So good luck, just remember style is constantly changing!
HOT
Sweet deals for 2012: For the girls- Vanity offers 20 per-
cent off a full priced item at check out. For both genders- American Eagle is offering $29.99 jeans to everyone while offering cute styling tops on the side lines. Another great option is Rue 21, where you can always find the right top or shoes to go along with any outfit. For athletes- TJ Maxx offers great deals when it comes to any sport outfit!
9 The Nots of 2012:
Let’s start off with what everyone clearly did not get the memo aboutpencil skirts: They are OUT! In fact, they left on a one way trip to NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, last year. Also, the long sleeve top with the tank over was out three years ago, guys. Another big NO NO is flare jeans. No one wants 80’s to come back. Flowers are soft and sweet but flower tops are boring and beat. Last, but certainly not least, plaid. Plaid can be summed up in two words: Miley Cyrus. She may have a cute sense of style--that is when she has a personal stylist--but we all know that like Cryus’s career, plaid has died, with no potential of a comeback.
NOT
Written and designed by Cheyenne Zephier
Fall Fashion of 2012:
This fall season is offering the cute sweatshirt look that will keep anyone nice and toasty during the long months to come our way. Also, the simple but elegant jacket-look is red hot. A cute button up, stylish jacket will get you a long way, with a bedazzled pair of skinny jeans. Another look for this season is acute dress with a simple cardigan to go over the top. And of course you have the colored skinny jean look that you can dress up with any kind of top that matches. And for the guys- we did not forget about you, the bottom up look is what is coming up for you these long cold months. And do not worry, you can find those handsome jackets to be at your liking also.

Tech Talk:
A review of everything technology by Kristina Ivanov
iTranslate Plus $1.99 If you’re having trouble with your homework in second language class, then you should consider getting this app. Have you ever wanted to know how to say hello in Chinese? Now you can! With simple controls and many options, finding that word you’re stuck on will be a breeze! Don’t rely on it too much though, your teachers will notice something’s up and it’s all downhill from there. Gflashpro $3.99 Have an upcoming quiz that you’re freaking out about? Don’t worry - we’ve all been there. This app allows you to create your own personalized flash cards, so you can study for any upcoming tests and quizzes you might have. Or if you don’t feel like making your own flashcards, download a set of cards online. Topics range from world history, all the way to vocab, and even math!
iHomework $0.99 Want to keep your classes organized, but don’t feel like using your planner? iHomework is a digital (electronic) school planner, that lets you put down all of the assignments you have due. Input your classes, and it becomes a more accurate version of the planner you already have. Of course, it only works if you use it daily. Google Calendar $6.99 Google Calendar is amazingly simple and innovative. Take it with you on your android or apple device, this app works both online and offline, so you don’t always need an internet connection just to get it to work. It’s really easy to sync your calendar with friends and family. This app is extremely user friendly, and a great purchase for anyone. Dictionary.com FREE Do you want to know what triskadekaphobia means? It’s the fear of the number 13! This app works offline, if you don’t know how to pronounce a certain word, use the audio pronunciation ability and you will know how to say it in no time. Not only is it a dictionary, but it’s also a thesaurus. Best of all, it’s absolutely free. Evernote Free Take notes, pictures, save web pages, save pdf files, and organize all of them into folders. You get a free 60 megabyte limit each month but if you feel like you need more, you can always purchase more data. No special twisted data plan required. If you want more data, you can always buy more.
Snoozerr $0.99 Every one of us has been so tired in a class, that we haven’t pay attention very well. This is where Snoozerr comes in. Record your teacher’s lessons and take pictures along with his or her lecture. Each picture will be time-stamped for easy reference. Don’t rely on it too much, though, it’s not meant to take your notes for you.
Graphing Calculator Free Don’t want to fork over one hundred bucks just for a calculator? Now you don’t have to. This app has it all. It’s not just a graphing calculator though, it’s also a scientific calculator. You can graph up to four graphs at a time. Each is individually labeled for your convenience. It even has a reference section, so if you ever forget something, you can look it up. Your average Ti calculator, can’t do that.
This issue: Back-to-school apps and E-readers Do you love to read, but just can’t always fit your books in your backpack? Then you should maybe consider an e-reader. Most e-readers are smaller than your average book, and they most definitely weigh a lot less. Amazon’s Kindle weighs in at a measly 6.0 ounces, and Barnes & Noble’s Nook Simple Touch weighs in at 7.5 ounces. With an e-reader you don’t have to worry about your battery life, Amazons Kindle Touch is said to last for two months straight, that is if you only use it for a half hour a day. Barnes & Noble’s Nook Simple Touch has also been advertised to last two months straight, if you use it only an hour a day. Having an e-reader allows you to share your books with other people. Lend books to your friends for 14 days; after the time is up the book disappears. Even better, your friends and family don’t need to have an e-reader; Amazon offers programs that allow them to open books on their computer, as does Barnes & Noble. Also you can check out electronic books at local libraries. Unlike regular books you don’t have to make a return trip just to return the book--it happens automatically. Kindles come with ads to reduce the cost of their products. You can get rid of them, but it requires you to pay $30-$40 more. The Nooks don’t have any ads, but the Nook also doesn’t have 3G. So unlike Amazon’s Kindle Touch 3G, you can’t buy books on the road.

FRESHMEN:
Congratulations, you have survived your first two weeks of high school. By now you have learned where your classes are, where you’re sitting during lunch, which teachers are going to be easier than others and how to open your locker. You have heard countless speeches about rules and regulations and how to get around those first few weeks. We picked out five rules that are important for surviving the rest of the year and asked school counselor Katie Heavlin to help explain why:
Rule 1: Get involved.
The Nationalist says: No matter what grade you’re in, but especially as a freshman, getting involved is important. It helps you meet new people and get out of your comfort zone. Heavlin says: “We say you should get involved in at least one activity. It helps you become a part of RHS.”
Rule 2: Get out of your “shell”.
The Nationalist says: Getting out of your shell means taking a chance and trying something new, whether it’s debate, a sport, or even a second language club. Heavlin says: “[You] might find something you’re good at, [and it] might give you something to pursue in the future.”
Rule 3: Stay on top of your classes –
The Nationalist says: If you miss a few days of school, ask a friend to pick up your homework and drop it off to you. That way, you’ll be closer to catching up and you won’t be swamped with homework when you get back. Heavlin says: “When you fall behind, it’s harder to catch up. You should do every assignment, every day.”
Rule 4: Don’t be afraid to ask questions –
The Nationalist says: Asking questions is hard, we know. However, it’s something you have to do. Especially if you’re confused on something! Yes, it can be scary, but wouldn’t you rather be embarrassed for two minutes and understand the assignment, than be scared to speak up and fail the big test? Heavlin says: “Teachers don’t know you have questions until you ask them.”
Rule 5: Don’t be afraid to try new things-
The Nationalist says: If you try new things, you meet new people. If you meet new people, you can get a different view on life. Heavlin says: “You might be good at something, you meet new people, you can find a passion you didn’t know about.”
SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS, SENIORS: We didn’t forget about the rest of the school. Although your list isn’t quite as extensive as the freshmen’s, we gave you a few tips for the next year, as well.
•Don’t be so quick to become angry at the freshmen-
You were once in their shoes! You know how it feels, so give them a break the first few weeks (or months) of the new year.
•Think about college, it’ll come faster than you think or want it to -
Everyone, even sophomores who have a few years left in high school, need to think about college, or at least what you’re planning on doing after high school. Don’t blow off all your classes during your first few years and think that a few D’s and F’s won’t matter, because they do.
