Spare Money

“I know it sucks when you’re hungry and there is nothing you can do about it because you have no money,” Sophomore Dillon Erwin said.

Headphones

“I always keep my earbuds in my bag. Just in case I get free time to listen to music or watch football,” Freshman Reid Parker.

It’s important to know what to keep in a school backpack.

Here are some essentials to make this school year easier.

Students could use these to smell fresh all day long.

Water bottle-

“Just in case you get done with something early, you can sit and read and not be bored,” Senior Shelby Apostol said.

{W}and the freshmen at the high school, it is easy to get confused. All

ith all the new changes to the school this year, such as Eagle Hour

Got shampoo? $4.05

$14.50 $3.49

these changes are for the better; the Eagle Store is also going to be open during Eagle Hour for more convenience to the teachers and students. The eagle Store is now called The Bird House, with a new logo, and it will be run by the marketing class.

Now that the Bird House is open more often, students will try to go that have never been before.

“Another major change is that The Bird House is now managed and operated

by LNHS marketing students as a hands-on learning laboratory,” business teacher Kristen Hittner said.

There are other things to do during Eagle Hour besides visit The Bird House.

“I’ll like having Eagle Hour because you can eat lunch and hang out with friends longer or if you need help with classes, you can go to a tutor to get better grades,” junior, Ashley Forstner said. “During Eagle Hour I will study or get help with teachers, and eat or hang out with friends if I’m all caught up.”

Students will have plenty of time to get help with grades and hang out with friends if they get a chance, or visit the Bird House. Students that have never been to the Bird House will now have an opportunity to.

“Since the Eagle Store is going to be open during Eagle Hour, some people might be interested in going there because it was never open at a convenient time. I think that having the eagles store open is a good way for the students to get all the spirit wear they need,” junior Gabby Terrell said.

To add to the convenience of The Bird House being open during Eagle Hour, they will possibly have food options.

“Based on the market research my students conducted last spring, we will potentially have a variety of candy and chips available, as well as, muffins, Easy Mac, and Cup O Noodles,” Hittner said.

The Bird Store will have a new sense of convenience by being open during Eagle hour with food options, and will experience more customers than ever before.

Lifestyle

big part of the first week of school

for many of girls is what to wear. {A} Hours and hours of shopping, stressing, as

well as trying on and ripping off outfits goes into all of this. Many students like to dress up and show off their individual style during this time.

“I wear all my new stuff that I get from school shopping! The first day you always have to wear the best outfit,” sophomore Sierra Duncan said.

Of course, everyone wants to look good, but it is important to remember not to overdo it because that just may do the opposite.

“Don’t try too hard. You can still look nice without looking too dressy,” junior Gabby Barbour said.

Make sure what is chosen to wear is comfortable because it will be worn all day. So maybe not a pair of jeans that are too tight, or shorts that are way too short. It’s also essential to make sure that the clothes look good on.

“It’s important to have your own style because you want to stand out from everyone else and to show your personality through your style,” senior Mackenzie Stapleton said.

Having individual style is key to making a good impression, boosting confidence and just starting your school year off right.

“I really like shopping for the first day of school. I always look for simple clothes so I don’t over do it, but statement peices like bold necklaces and shoes,” Sarah Bonnot said (model).

“Dressing for the first day of school is more important than just any other day but don’t over do it. You don’t want to look like you’re trying to hard but it is very important to make a good first impression with teachers and peers,” sophomore Dillon Erwin said (model). e

First impressions What to Wear on the First Day of School Photos by: Olivia Brown | Written by: Madi Eklund

{E}are the only ones who care about ven though some may think girls

what they look like at school, boys also put forth some effort into their wardrobe as well.

Different boys have different styles that they show.

“I like to dress nicer because it makes you feel better and I like to express myself through fashion,” junior Zach Thompson said.

On the other hand many boys just throw on shorts and a t-shirt and call it good, and that is fine if that is their style. Some boys feel as though the first day is just another day of school.

“I don’t think it’s a huge deal to dress nice on the first day, but I don’t dress down,” senior Jackson Triplett said.

But for the first couple days try and change things up a little bit. It will not only make you feel better about yourself but also get noticed.

“It’s most important to dress well on the first day of school because that’s when people are going to make their first impression about you,” sophomore Dillon Erwin said.

Whether it’s a t-shirt or a polo, dressing for the first day of school is always important.

Opinion

Written by Savannah Failer and Madi Saunders | Photos by Ariel Kuznia

Simply Separate {A}chieving a strong, solid education in high school

sets a foundation for your future. To have a good foundation, you need to be able to stay focused and get as much done as possible during your classes. Having mixed grades in classes might not help students stay focused.

I do not think mixed classes are really necessary or a good idea. For one, there is a major maturity difference between freshmen and seniors. The upperclassmen will most likely be more driven to succeed and work hard so they can acquire a good GPA for college. Additionally, some freshmen think the first year of high school is not as important as the other years and will mess around. This could distract the upperclassmen from the work they need to get done.

Another issue is the underclassmen might be intimidated by their older classmates if they are in the same class. If the upperclassmen intimidate them, the underclassmen might not speak up when they have questions or need help figuring out a problem. By not asking questions, the student could fall behind their work and ultimately fail the assignment or consequently, the class. Along the same line, older classmates might bully the younger grades. As a result of consistently being bullied and put down, the student might eventually decide to not go to class. Not going to class will obviously make the student miss work, which will hurt their overall grade.

Furthermore, having mixed classes could take away from the whole idea of learning and staying focused for the next stage in their life. Combining different grades in high school can eventually affect a student’s whole high school career, whether it is their final GPA or just the fact that they do not want to face other grades in their classes.

{ ev } 14

Mixing it All Up {I}t is that time of year: back to school. Everyone

is excited to see who is in his or her classes. As a senior, I have gotten to know many people in the class of 2014. By this time, everyone knows all the drama, rumors, and relationships. By having mixed classes, students get to meet new people that they do not normally have the opportunity to meet.

One benefit is the different levels of knowledge.

A freshman in Biology I might not know anything about the human body system. If an upperclassman is in that freshman’s Biology I class, the older student might give their classmate more connections and understanding. Learning something in a class, is one thing, but having that extra knowledge is more beneficial.

When a school allows mixed classes, more sections of that class has to be added. This makes it easier for students to get the classes they desire. Most of my classes are only offered one time a day, but by having more sections, I could get all of the classes I wanted.

I would not have to sacrifice Spanish V for a math class, as I did this year. By adding more sections of a class, the school district would also have to hire more teachers to teach them; thus stimulating the city’s economy.

I have been in many mixed classes. In these mixed classes, I have met so many different people that are a different age than me. If I did not have these classes, I would be stuck only knowing people in my class. The only way a student would meet upper and lowerclassmen would be to get involved in school, and some students might not have time for that with work or studying.

wrong with your schedule. You try to make great first impressions that you find out later don’t matter to anyone and at the end of the day the only thing you learned is who is in your classes.

I’d definitely assume being a freshman or sophomore right now would be pretty scary. Not only are you in the newest school, you’re shoved back in forth between trailers and the building, put back onto the bottom of the food chain and transferring everything you know into grades that will affect the rest of your life.

That’s a lot to take in for 15 year old kids.

Seniors- we need to remember that these youngsters will remember us for the next two or three years. I know we are excited to finally claim the school, but I think we can all agree we don’t hate the freshman or sophomores. The truth is, we will be so focused on everything going on in our busy lives, we wont even notice them until they trip in the hallway or fall up the stairs in front of us. And the rumors that all our freshman or sophomores are arrogant could possibly true, but keep in mind that they could be acting arrogant in order to cover up their fear of our school.

Freshman and sophomores, do not think I’m favoring you; to be honest, there will probably be a time today that I will walk into class and complain about one of you walking too slow or grouping up in the hallway. Have a great first day new-bees!

{W}elcome, all, to the first issue of our fabulous school newspaper, put

together and prepared by some of the very people you call your classmates. You can find their names on the Table of Contents page. Take a look. Find your friends. Read their articles. The paper was made to be read, not to be folded into paper airplanes. (Though if you finish reading it, by all means, fold away.)

Aside from paper, the word of the day is “welcome”. It’s the first official day of school—obviously—and for many of us, it’s our first official day of high school. (Froshies and sophs, I’m taking to you.) And holy cow, isn’t this a beautiful school? What a privilege it is to have this brand new, state-of-the-art school, and you all get to be the first and only freshman/sophomore group to enter it together. Underclassmen unite! (But, please, don’t start an uprising.)

You have 600+ other people in this school who are exactly as new as you are.

So if you’re nervous, take comfort. If you’re not, give comfort.

Upperclassmen, this is where you come in. You know the ropes, you’ve got the experience, and you didn’t have to start high school as a freshman.

Take pride in the fact that you have some wisdom to impart, and not in the fact that you think you’re better just because you’re older. I mean, being an upperclassman rocks, but the best part comes with what we have to offer. We are the seasoned veterans. So let’s show those cadets how it’s done.

Now back to paper. Look forward to seeing this paper as it improves monthly. And if it happens to make a good paper airplane too, well then, that’s just an added bonus.

Opinion

The Other Side of Me Written by Madi Saunders | Photo by Ariel Kuznia

{I}’ve been known as a girly girl throughout the years. I always have some type

of make-up on, cute clothes, and I attempt to fix my hair. I don’t like to get down and dirty, I don’t like bugs, and especially don’t like to sweat. It’s odd though, I don’t consider myself as one of those girls.

While I’m a girly girl, I love doing guy things like watching football, driving trucks, and watching monster truck races.

Now, some girls claim they like watching football, but they don’t actually watch it like I do. They only watch it so that guys will give them attention, or to watch the players run around in football pants. When I watch football with my dad, we will argue about what plays are going to happen next, which quarterback or running back is the team going to use. When a flag is thrown, sometimes I can call the penalty before the referees do.

Not only am I a football fanatic, I also love to drive big F150s. Whenever my dad lets me drive his truck, I jump on that opportunity. I wanted a truck of my own, but it wasn’t really practical for me to get one because I can’t even back up my super small sized car.

My older cousin races trucks, and there ‘s nothing like watching a monster truck trample over buses and cars. Now, I won’t lie and say I didn’t get dressed up in case I met a cute cowboy there, but when it came down to it, I was too entranced by the trucks.

Yes, I am a girly girl when it comes to most things, but everyone has more than one side of themselves and I am not an exception.

year-round school better than a Q: Istraditional schedule?

Staff Editorial

{M}any students get excited for their summer break. Two and a half months of sun, tanning, swimming, and hanging

out with friends. After their summer break, they dread the thought of going back to school. The solution to this problem: year round school.

With a traditional school year, students have many short breaks during the nine months of school along with a long break in the summer. Students can lose the information they gained the year before during that break. This causes teachers to review what the students should already know. Year round school, students get more shorter breaks instead of one long one. Students get a week break for fall, a break full week at Thanksgiving and two weeks for Spring Break.

With fewer long breaks, students should not lose the information they just learned.

Another benefit to year round schooling is that schools can more efficiently help students. Year round schools run on tracks. This means groups of students are on break at different times. When the groups are on break the school can better attend to each individual student’s needs. With the one-on-one attention, students can make a stronger connection with their teachers.

Also with the multi-track system year-round schools use, schools can offer more classes that a certain group wants.

If one group of students is more interested in science courses, the school can offer more of them. On the other hand, traditional schools can only offer so many science classes because they need teachers to be available to teach other classes

Review written by: Emily Hunt Summer’s Worst Movie

{A} sci-fi comedy likely to remind many viewers of Men

Review written by: Katelen Permenter

{ev} 18

in Black, R.I.P.D may be single handedly the worst movie of 2013.

Based on “Rest in Peace Department,” a comic by Peter M. Lenkov, a heavenly police force hunts dead villains to send them to hell.

After a cop, Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds), was gunned down in a raid, the next thing he knew he was in the headquarters of the Rest in Peace Department. R.I.P.D. is known as a police force in charge of arresting ghosts hiding out on Earth. Being assigned to a new partner, Roy Pulsifer (Kevin Bacon), a veteran sheriff with the ability to spot a fugitive soul in disguise, both are about to face a danger that threatens the balance between the physical world and the supernatural realm. If the partners fail in keeping the balance, Earth will be flooded with a wave of very powerful and angry lost souls.

Filled with gun battles, explosions, and junky-looking digital monsters, the missing piece is the human touch, an overwhelming use of computer generated images consumes the movie. If 1:36 minutes of watching Reynolds seem bored is your type of movie, R.I.P.D is for you, otherwise spend $7.50 on something more entertaining.

A Book You Can’t Put Down

eing Friends with Boys is one of the best books I have read in a long time because it is so relatable. The book is set in the town of Decatur, Georgia and follows the life of high school student Charlotte.

Charlotte is not your typical girly girl; she doesn’t like to dress up or shop and her best friends are four boys in a band called Sad Jackal whom she manages and writes music for. Charlotte hasn’t had much luck with girls in the past, so she loves the fact that being friends with boys is pretty drama-free. Through a series of events that change the dynamics of her friendships, Charlotte discovers that being friends with boys may not be as uncomplicated as she thought. In addition to the story being relatable, the book is also very well written. The humor is fresh and the relationships between Charlotte and her friends are so realistic. I think it is great that McVoy didn’t make Charlotte a typical storybook girl who is stuck-up and drop-dead gorgeous; she is a normal girl who sometimes feels insecure and doesn’t have the best fashion sense. She is quirky and original and by the end of the book, I felt like I knew her. All in all, I thought this was a fun read and I would definitely recommend it.

Review written by: Claire DeVry

have officially decided that my life would have no meaning without the Pinterest app. That may seem like a drastic statement but right now it is very true. I am on the app day and night scrolling through the many categories from “Hair and Beauty” to “Tattoos”.

This addiction is becoming pretty unhealthy because I catch myself opening the app around nine at night, and by the time I finally get tired it’s two in the morning. The Pinterest app is full of fantastic and creative ideas such as yummy recipes, fun workouts, makeup tutorials, and much more. The categories are constantly updated with new pins so it’s no wonder why I am always up late on this wonderful app. I would recommend Pinterest to anyone looking for a new app addiction.

he class of 2015 faced high school tryouts for the first time ever in the summer of 2011. Freshmen normally come into tryouts nervous, apprehensive, and slightly fearful. Although, I came into softball tryouts excited, anxious, and fairly confident. Now you are probably thinking that I was just a cocky, overconfident snob, but that was not the case. I was not overly confident in my playing abilities, but I was confident in the fact that I wasn’t alone. I had the privilege of playing two years of softball with my older sister. I can easily say those two years, were two of the most fun times I have ever experienced on the softball field. My older sister and I hit back to back in the 2-3 spots.

It was good to know that she always had my back; she was always there to pick me up. Fast forward to now, 4 years later, it’s hard for me to accept the fact that for the first year ever she won’t be on the field with me. I never expected her graduating to affect me this much, but it has. The summer has been a whirlwind with my older sister shopping for dorm accessories while I go to workouts every morning dragging along my younger sister. I have mixed emotions about the upcoming softball season. Part of me is nervous; not having my sister is a big change. She’s always been by my side, always been there to reassure me that everything will work out. The other half of me is excited and anxious. For the first time I won’t be the little Prather. But as my cousin and younger sister join the team, I’ll never be the only Prather.

Soccer

The Liberty North Eagles soccer team is hoping to have a strong fall season as they take the field in 2013. The Eagles hope to improve their record for the fourth consecutive year after registering a solid 14-11-1 performance in 2012. The boys have their eyes locked on a state bid this year, and are working hard to fulfill that goal.

“We have some competition in both conference and districts, but competitively we have a very good shot at winning both,” junior Nat Davis said.

The goal of getting a State bid is accomplishable seeing as though the team not only returns a large number of seniors, but also three of their top four scorers and a solid core of defenders. The Eagles begin their season August 31 with the Liberty High School Kick Off Classic.

Volleyball

Varsity volleyball lost 5 seniors, and it will be a challenge for the team to overcome. With a winning season of 19-93, last years record might be hard to beat.

“I’m hoping we make it as far as we did last year and beat Kearney,” senior Haley Mead said.

The Lady Eagles are looking to compete with Kearney, Staley, and Ray-pec.

“In order to be as successful and strong as last years team, all players will have to take on a leadership role and work together to accomplish our goals. We will need determination and full commitment from each player to succeed,” sophomore Ali Gates said.

Cross Country Swim and Dive Liberty North cross country finished their last season with a rewarding trip to state, the team looks to build off their past success for the 2013 season; both mens and womens teams qualified for state, placing third and seventh respectively.

“I’m really excited for this season because we have new freshman coming in who so far seem to have a lot of talent.This being my senior year, I want to lead my team to do better and have more fun than last year. So I’m definitely ready for this season and what we are capable of fulfilling as a team,” senior Yesenia Gomez said.

The team will start off their promising season September 7, in the Liberty Invitational held at Stocksdale Park.

The Eagles men’s swim and dive team hopes to improve on their 2012 season.

With records set by numerous Eagle swimmers, the stage is set to have an incredible year. With new talent coming to the team, they are setting their goals high.

“Our team should be stronger because we are getting some talented freshman,” senior Nick Roofener said.

The team’s first meet is on September 10. In that meet they will compete with North Kansas City, Oak Park, Staley and Winnetonka.

Just keep swimming, Dory.

Sports

Tennis

Looking to build off their success from last year, the girls tennis team is ready to have another rewarding year. Putting in a great amount of time and hard work over the summer, they are ready to get on the court and start their matches. With the first match of the season on August 29, against Excelsior Springs the team hopes to start off the season with a win.

“I think the upcoming season will be really good because we all have been practicing hard and all want to be the best we can be this year. The coaches are really proud of us from what they have seen and I think overall it will be a great season with great competition,” junior Jordan Haferbier said.

The Eagles are expecting many changes this year and are ready to rise to the challenge.

“This season is going to be a lot different than last year because we have multiple seniors on varsity and our number one player transferred to Liberty. Therefore all of us have to be ready for the level of play,” junior Abigail Daughtery said.

Football

Kicking the football season off with the jamboree on August 23, the Eagles work to have another successful season. Lead by many returning varsity players, the team has high hopes of making it deep into districts this year.

“We’ve been working hard all summer and it will show when the season rolls around. The seniors have stepped up to the challenge of leading us to the Dome and everyone is on board. Only thing stopping us is ourselves,” junior Justin Meyer said.

With high expectations, the team starts off the season facing Ruskin on August 30 and looks to beat them for the second consecutive year.

“In my opinion the team looks really good this year. Everyone looks stronger and faster and we are all coming together as teammates so this season definitely looks promising and I can’t wait to be playing on Thanksgiving,” senior Wyatt Haywood said.

Softball

In this upcoming season the Liberty North softball team is definitely looking forward to beating last year’s record of 15-12. Some tough teams to beat this year will be Truman, Platte County, and Kearney. The team has been working hard to prepare for this season. The girls have softball skills three times a week and right after go to workouts for two hours, lifting and running agilities. With all but one of the girls returning from last year, they only hope to make it further than last year.

“I’m excited for this season because we have a lot of talent this year so we are expecting to do really good.

It’s my senior year along with 4 other girls so we are all pretty excited and determined to do good things this year,” senior Hannah Pirrello said.

The goal of this season is to make it further into districts than last year.

Golf

The upcoming girls golf season is going to be a learning experience, with such a young team. This previous season the Lady Eagles brought home their first conference championship. Last years records will be hard to beat.

“This season, the learning curve will be huge. We have a very young team after losing several seniors last season. With Maddie Styhl and I being the only seniors, we get the opportunity to step up and be leaders in order to help the newer players and bring all of the girls together as a team. Having a younger team will be our biggest challenge this year, but will also make for a very exciting season.

I am eager to see how things play out for us this fall,” senior Sarah Bonnot said.

Even though the team is young, they still have leadership from returning varsity girls to pull them through this upcoming season. ”After losing 4, seniors the team is really looking to the leadership of incoming seniors to pull the team through another outstanding year,” Coach Braden said.

The team is hoping to achieve the goal of conference champions two years in a row. e
