Knowing that a couple of points on her ACT could be the difference between getting into her dream college or not, senior Alyssa Trapp logged onto her EDP and clicked the link for Method Test Prep. With three weeks to go until she took the ACT, Trapp began to take practice quizzes, alternating between her best and worst subjects. “My counselor showed me the program when I was in for my senior interview,” Trapp said. “My ACT score was not up to par, especially when I’m looking to receive a scholarship.” Career Coordinator Cheryl Reardon thinks that the program can not only reduce stress, but also create a better prepared student. “I absolutely recommend students use Method Test Prep to improve their scores,” Reardon said. “ACT scores are almost always directly related to scholarships. The higher an ACT score the more chances a student will have not only at a scholarship but getting into universities. It is a 20 week program if you follow

If that were true, how is it possible for two-thirds of Americans to avoid obesity?

Just as in the workplace, the excuse of being helpless when faced with junk food should not be acceptable. Some may argue that because the government helps pay for healthcare that they should have the right to regulate Americans’ diets because of the high costs of obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease. Using this logic opens the floodgates to government regulations in every aspect of human life. Almost any everyday human activity could have negative consequences for human health. Simply put, the government has no right to step in and regulate America’s dietary habits on the grounds that obesity is expensive unless we want to hand over control to the govenment on every aspect of human life. There are obviously ways the government can curb the obesity epidemic. Giving Americans the tools to make healthy decisions on their own is the most powerful weapon in combating obesity.

They Whistle While They Work

Children have been employed since the Industrial Revoltuion in the late 1800s, making cents for a full day of work. Fast forward to 2013 and workers must be at least 15 years of age, have permission from their school to work and make a set minimum wage. Caitlin Heenan Opinion Editor

Monica bradburn | photo editor

High schoolers should consider school their job and should not be pressured into entering the workforce prematurely Beep, beep, beep. Only six hours after lying down for the night and the dreaded alarm clock rings, signaling the end of sleep and the start of school. Sleep deprived with unfinished homework, this has become the unfortunate reality for many working teens. Students should be more concerned with completing their homework and getting a good night’s sleep rather than working until nine on a school night at McDonald’s for $7.25 an hour. (Oh, the beauty of being a minor and making a starting salary below minimum wage.) Let’s be honest, most teens seek jobs for the extra spending money. Teens apply for jobs to be able to use that money to buy the next iPhone or way too much food from Taco Bell, not necessarily to better themselves or take an active part in bettering their community. Jobs consume too much time and energy for students to truly be able to balance school, family,

friends and work. In many cases, in order to make any substantial amount of money, teens need to dedicate their weeks to 30 plus hours of work. In order to make $100, it would take more than 13 hours of work on minimum wage. According to Michael K. Meyerhoff, a doctor of human development, “When high school students are engaged in employment 10 to 20 hours per week, their truancy rates rise dramatically and their grades drop drastically. In addition, their health habits, particularly sleep, decrease sharply while their likelihood of being involved in drug and alcohol abuse increases significantly.” By no means should not having a job give teens the excuse to sit on the couch and be lazy. If students do have so much extra time on their hands after school, they should do volunteer work, participate in sports or get an internship in a career field they may be interested in pursuing. Supporters of teenage workers claim jobs are an adequate source of skills such as punctuality, monetary value and time management. These skills can be found and practiced in less time consuming and less demanding activities such as volunteering or participating in sports. I understand how for some teens it may be necessary to have a job to save money for college or to help support the family, but if it is not necessary, teens should not actively seek jobs. The jobs students have access to could go to adults who are unemployed or between jobs who have families to support and mortgages or rent to pay. As high schoolers, the first and foremost job is to be a student and prepare for the future, not flip patties on greasy grills for below minimum wage.

Being employed as a teenager teaches time management and job skills necessary for a better, more successful future The tardy bell has rung and students roam to their lockers and walk into class five minutes late not really thinking too much about it. Maybe their teacher does not mark them tardy or they are confident mom will call in excusing them. This kind of behavior may fly in high school, however, in the real word if a person continues to arrive late for a job that could be the end of their employment. Students need to have a job in order to teach them skills they will need to succeed. Once employed, students will learn the importance of arriving on time if they want to receive their paycheck. According to an article on The Daily Muse, being on time demonstrates an employee can be trusted to get the job done and is responsible, qualities that are important in today’s competitive job market. In addition to teaching students the importance of being punctual, a job also teaches

them time management. Juggling school, work and other extra-curricular activities can be difficult, however I have a job, am involved in sports, and take advanced classes and I manage to get it done successfully. The ability to manage time will be useful for students with college assignments seeing as professors are not going to remind students when the essay is due and even farther into the future when they raise a family and have a full-time job. Being employed helps students understand the importance of saving money and spending it wisely as well. Putting money in a bank account and being responsible for gas money in their car is preparation for a student’s future. Once in college, the student debt will begin to accumulate and with money saved in the bank that amount could be significantly less. Perhaps, most importantly, students who work in high school are more likely to get a college degree and with that degree means better jobs and higher income. A recent study from the University of Minnesota revealed that in a sample of 1,000 students, a higher proportion of those who worked during high school earned a college degree. While some may say that managing a job, school and other extra-curricular activities is too much to handle and these skills can be acquired elsewhere, nothing compares to a real work experience and a paycheck. Working with adults will help students mature and be accountable for responsibilities that high school doesn’t provide. With aids in the hallways asking for planners and permission required to go to the bathroom, high school teachers and administrators treat students as children, which is one reason they need work experience to help them be successful in the real world.

Johnny, Can You Hear Me? People should be more aware of listening as a skill necessary to be productive and successful in everyday life Double “O” Dawson Columnist

It seems that we have to repeat ourselves more and more in order for others to hear us. Parents tell their kids for the tenth time that it’s time to go, teachers give instructions to certain people three times in a row, and even friends have to strain to get each other’s attention from behind the screens of their phones. Why? From an objective viewpoint, listening is one of our key survival traits. Sound can tell us when a car is coming, when the bacon is sizzling in the pan, and where to find others. Yet such an important trait seems to be fading, as we slowly seem to be more and more oblivious to the world around us. The reason I feel that this is plausible is as such; in an age where we can access answers as quickly as we think of the question, the human mind is always working. Our brains need a break from all this work, and so it begins to limit itself, even though we keep forcing information into it. We as a people know very little about the human brain. However, what we do know is that on average, humans use only a small amount of their minds. As a result, we are limited in what we can do. This limitation manifests itself in many ways, but the

relevant example is when people try to do multiple things at once. This poses stress upon the mind as it juggles multiple tasks around, and as a result we lose some key details when put under this pressure. Many times this internal confusion makes it hard to hear or pay attention to other things around us. This can include school work, music, and even friends. Essentially, the more distractions we have around us, the harder it is to focus on a given subject. Heed the wisdom of a lifeguard, having 20 people to watch is far more stressful than two people. While watching people swim may not be listening to music, the less our minds have to focus on, the better it performs. Am I suggesting we lock ourselves in a white room while doing a singular task to avoid these distractions? No, but I am suggesting that we, as a people, stop trying to do five things at once. If you want to have a serious discussion with someone, turn off the music, stow away the phones, and sit down. You’ll find that the less distractions around you there are, the easier it is to listen and remember what your friend told you about that upcoming party Friday night.

Research proves high school student athletes maintain higher GPAs than non-athletes By Lauren Davis Online Editor

When teenagers go from school to sports, then home to finish homework while somehow fitting in dinner, some consider themselves lucky to fall into bed before experiencing the hard hit of midnight. This is the real life struggle of most high school student athletes and after adding games, meets and competitions to the schedule, some end up spending more time at school then they do at home. Eight hundred and twenty of the 1,163 students who were enrolled at FHS last year are familiar with this so called struggle having participated in at least one school sponsored sport, making sports the most common extra curricular activity. This statistic is a positive reflection on the Fenton Tigers because researchers at Michigan State University have determined that athletic participation has a direct impact on grades. According to MSU’s research, students who compete in at least one school sport do 10 percent better in English, science, math and social studies compared to other students. “Athletes maintain higher grades because their sports goals translate into academic goals,” soccer player and track athlete senior Thomas Pilarski said. ”Sports teach you about teamwork and other life skills that also apply in the classroom.” While this research directly relates athletic performance to academic performance in core classes, different studies reveal how some athletes have a GPA that is a full point higher than non-athletes. “Athletes are used to splitting up their time between sports and school work,” basketball and soccer player senior Hannah Evo said. “So it doesn’t surprise me that athletes have better grades.” Among Fenton High’s 2014 Senior Class, 15 of the 24 students who were apart of last year’s Honor Guard participate in at least one school-sponsored sport while 128 of the 298 seniors were part of a school sponsored athletic team during the 2012-13 seasons. “Playing football helps me to manage the time I spend on homework,” football player senior Ross Person said. “Because I spend a lot of time at practice it’s important for me to complete what assignments I can at home and then use SRT.” While both male and female athletes report higher GPAs than non-athletes, the girls are larger contributors to those who play a school sport and those who do not. Last year, the boys in the 2014 senior class held an average GPA of 3.077 while the average GPA of male non-athletes was 2.280. Showing an even larger gap are the 2014 girls. The Lady Tigers maintained an average GPA of 3.440 while non-athletes maintained a 2.946. One female student athlete actually notices a change in her academic behavior when she is not part of a team. “During my off season, I find that I procrastinate more,” senior track and field athlete Tori Chapin said. “I try to keep myself busy with other things like assistant coaching the middle school girls basketball team or working out after school so I don’t get lazy and fall behind on homework.” Fenton’s female athletes have the highest GPA of the student body who, when averaged together, maintained a 2.886 GPA during the 2012-13 school year. However, advantages for girls who reached success in track and field like Chapin, or played on the high school basketball and soccer teams like Evo don’t end with a higher grade point average. Girls who compete on a high school sports team increase their odds for graduating college by 41 percent compared to those who choose not to participate. “Athletes have more drive to compete for their grades as they do in sports,” Evo said. “That’s another reason why they maintain higher grades and are more likely to graduate from college.” Sources: globalpost.com; 2012-13 athletic department annual report

Joining the Tradition

Based on the past success of the boys basketball program, two juniors transferred to be a part of the team’s legacy of winning By Hudson Villeneuve Writer

The reputation of Fenton basketball is about to be put on the line. With the departure of four 2013 seniors, the new varsity team will need to replace the leadership lost in order to win a sixth consecutive Metro League title. That leadership will be aided by two incoming transfers, juniors Dillon Gardner and Beau LePage. “I transferred from Holly to play basketball,” Gardner said. “The program here is great and they have a tradition of winning that I could not refuse to be a part of.” Goals for the season remain high and the level of success is not expected to drop despite the loss of senior leadership. “Our goal is to win the sixth straight Metro League title,” LePage said. “We want to go undefeated and nothing else will be accepted.” As new members of the basketball team, the two players are trying to find their place on the squad. “Playing together helps us build our chemistry and work together

better,” Gardner said. “Our coach is always nice and friendly; he has helped me adjust by talking to me on the phone about the team.” Head varsity coach Tim Olszewski has seen the effort of the two players first hand. “In the off season and fall ball they seem to work hard; they seem to work very well with everyone else,” Olszewski said. “The adjustment is minimal for them because the kids here are great and they come in high character kids. I hope they have a great tryout.” Despite the fact that Gardner transferred from a rival school and LePage came from a school Fenton rarely sees on the court, junior Austin Bossenberger believes they have meshed well with their new teammates. “All three of us played in a fall basketball league,” Bossenberger said. “They are funny guys who are always cracking jokes in practice. They fit in really well, they have adjusted quickly and that helps us gel together.”

In an attempt to decrease obesity, fast food restaurants have reevaluated their menus and added healthier additions to their otherwise deep fried products. Burger King recently released a new version of french fries. The healthy alternative, “Satisfries” are cooked in a different oil that soaks up less grease. This new addition to the menu contains 20 percent fewer calories than the fast food chain’s regular fries. “Every quarter they [corporate department] try and offer something new on our side menu,” Fenton Silver Parkway Burger King Store Manager Laurie Covieo said. “They chose the Satisfries as a way to offer a low calorie and low fat option for those seeking a healthy alternative.

MO Debate

ing in July, Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut brought up the health issues caused by energy drinks. They began to advocate a ban to prevent energy drink companies from advertising to minors. “Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people,” Robert Mills of the American Medical Association (AMA) said. “AMA policy supports a ban on the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18.” What is in an energy drink? Energy drinks contain a mix of sugars, caffeine, vitamins, amino acids and other ingredients that are all designed to give the drinker an energized feel. Below are several types of energy drinks that have been broken down into their individual ingredients.

Brightly colored aluminum cans rest on the store shelves, each one promising an electrifying experience to those who drink their empowering beverage. These “high stimulant beverages,” better known as energy drinks, have been gaining ground since 1997 when Red Bull was first introduced in the United States. In recent years, energy drinks have grown in popularity particularly among high school and college students. In an official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it was reported in a survey that 30 to 50 percent of young adults consume energy drinks. According to information compiled from BevNET.com by Energy Fiend, Red Bull sold $2.3 billion worth of sales in 2011 and $2.95 billion in 2012.

“They’re used as a supplement, but you don’t know what’s in them,” athletic trainer Mitch Smelis said. “Just because the marketing says they’re this great thing, kids think it’s okay to drink them.” As reported by the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), 58 percent of the energy drink-related Emergency Department visits were caused by energy drinks alone. As reported by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, outcomes include liver damage, kidney failure, respiratory disorders, agitation, seizures, psychotic conditions, cardiac dysrhythmias, hypertension, heart failure and death. “I think most people don’t drink energy drinks because they’re bad for you and they can become addictive,” sophomore Emma Lane said. “The cans should be smaller so if people do drink them, they won’t drink as much.” At a Senate Commerce Committee hear-

that new additions won’t make a difference in the obesity in America, as people can continue to order the greasy food they always have. “It’s not the fact that people don’t have the opportunity to eat healthy,” senior Beecher Warren said. “It’s that they don’t want to. People will still want the unhealthy food, no matter how many other healthy options they have.” While some do not see the movement being a success, others are happy with the new options provided because the food still has the same taste and reasonable prices. “This is a step in a right direction toward a healthier future,” sophomore Jack Schneider said. “They need to add healthier options, but still have the same taste and they need to be the same cost as the unhealthy food. If they have healthier options, I would order it.”

Creating Friendships Through Athletics

You breath the same air in that stuffy gym, you receive the same constant pressure from coaches to work toward success, you win together and you lose together. When you spend countless hours on the court or on the field with the same people, day in and day out, a relationship with your teammates quickly begins to evolve. Webster defines a teammate as a person who is on the same team as someone else. While this is the dictionary definition, there is so much more to the relationships built through athletics. The true value of a teammate cannot be defined. When you spend more time with the girls on your team than you do with your own family, they begin to fill a similar role. They become more than just teammates but a second family who you can count on to pick you up when you’ve fallen. It’s sharing the experiences we hate along with the experiences we love that cause athletic relationships to evolve into long-lasting friendships. The work you put in becomes not just for yourself or for your coach or for your parents, but more for your teammates. You do one extra sprint because According to Ellie you know you’ll be The Best Team able to benefit your teammates in the Oriented Movies long run. You take 1. “Miracle” (2004) 15 extra minutes of batting practice 2. “Hoosiers” (1986) because you know it 3. “Remember the could lead to greater Titans” (2000) 4. “The Sandlot” (1993) success at the plate, and in turn, help 5. “Coach Carter” (2005) your team. Through personal experience, I have had many teammates who started out as just that and quickly became close friends. Going into our first travel softball tournament last summer, I knew only six out of the 12 girls on my team because many of them were in college and couldn’t attend any of our winter workouts. After that first tournament, I felt like I had been playing with and had known those girls my entire life. I know my teammates are more than just teammates when I can sing songs from “Pitch Perfect” at the top of my lungs in the locker room during our basketball pre-game and not one of my teammates will judge me because they are singing along with me. I know they’ve become more than just teammates when I throw “a meatball” pitch and they make a Sports Center worthy diving grab behind me. I know our team has become a family when we willingly have sleepovers as a team instead of making it a “mandatory team bonding event.” If sports are not really your thing, find people with common interests and embrace them. Team atmospheres are everywhere, not just in athletics. You just have to find a crowd you fit in with and grow to love them. I am fortunate enough to have had great teammates who would go to any length to do what is best for their teammates. I hope that one day in my collegiate softball career, I can be that teammate, that teammate who you can not only count on in a tight game, but also the tight situations you encounter in life.

While many participate in high school sports, these former athletes had the talent, determination and dedication it takes to reach the next level

“We went 7-2 this season. The biggest difference for me is the level of intensity. Everyone is big, fast and strong. I miss playing with Mitch Shegos and Damon Thomas. I played free safety in high school, which I play this year. I was one of eight freshmen to get into the games.”

2 Payton Maxheimer Graduation Year: 2013 Sport: Volleyball College: Madonna University

“The biggest difference between high school and college volleyball is that it is faster and we workout and train more. Our record is 38-0 right now; we still have nationals. I’m starting back row. Also, we travel a lot. I do miss high school, the coaches and playing with all the girls on my old team.”

4 Anna Wujciak

Graduation Year: 2012 Sport: Softball College: Ball State University

Graduation Year: 2013 Sport: Swimming College: Yale University

“College sports are a way bigger time commitment. You have 20 hour practice weeks and then study hours on top of that. This makes you a lot closer with your team because you are always together. With college sports, you’re expected to know the game and perform all the time. Last year, our team won the MAC and received championship rings. I was very honored to receive Academic All-American last year. Our team also beat a few nationally ranked teams.”

“The intensity level is the biggest difference between high school and college sports. At this level, all of the athletes are very serious about what they do. Also, there’s a greater support basis in terms of coaches, weight trainers, nutritionists, athletic trainers and support staff. Outside of that, there are lots of similarities between the two programs.” For more a full list of former FHS athletes who compete at the collegiate level, visit fentoninprint.com.

Rather than waiting nearly 20 days for Christmas, people can get in the spirit in less than 24 hours with the Jinglefest that is scheduled for tomorrow at 6 p.m. in downtown Fenton. “Jinglefest is Fenton’s kickoff to the holiday season. It is a family friendly event,” Fenton’s Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Shelly Day said. “People should go the Jinglefest to enjoy celebrating the holiday season and support the downtown businesses and event activities.” During the day, the festival will feature holiday shopping, horse drawn wagon rides, ice sculptures and kids activities. There will also be a chance for people to win a shopping spree if they participate in a drawing. The Jinglefest also offers a 5K run., the Jinglejog, which starts at 3 p.m. The event has a new route that will run throughout the area of downtown Fenton. “The Jinglejog is a registered 5K walk and run and is a fun way to participate in the holiday celebration,” Day said.” Every participant gets a souvenir mug. Goodies and awards are also given out.” In the evening, at 6 p.m., the parade and festive music will behin. The parade will include the FHS band, which participates every year with their lit up instruments. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be in the parade toward the end and will be available to take pictures with kids and families following the parade. “I thought playing in the parade last year was really fun and I decorated my instrument with lights,” sophomore Kate Lewandowski said. “This year I’m going big with the decorations and it’s going to be a lot of fun.” The holiday festivities continue in neighboring Holly with the Dickens Festival. The Holly Dickens Festival began last weekend; however, there is still time to attend. The event will continue on Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Dec. 8 and Dec. 15 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Those who attend can stroll through the town and visit shops while listening to Christmas music. They can also run or walk in the Run Like The Dickens Race. There are races for everyone: the Tiny Tim Trot, the 5K run and walk and the 10K run all occurring one after another on the morning of Dec. 14. The races help add to the holiday feel, especially when the runners and walkers dress up like Santa Claus. There is also a big buffet available right after the participants finish the races.

‘Tis the Season

The holiday season is a time of big meals. Chances are, most people suffer from a fridge full of leftovers and no idea what to do with them. After reheating a holiday feast for three days in a row, one begins to get tired of turkey and mashed potatoes. Luckily, there are many unique ways to re purpose leftovers this holiday season to prevent a food rut.

While the curtain is closed for ‘Princess in the Pea,’ IB Theatre begins preparation for ‘Twelfth Night’ By Kaylee Vasbinder Writer

Curtains drop, lights go off. Another play has come to a wrap. But the job isn’t quite over. For some students the work is done, but for IB Theatre the production for the next play starts right away. For the most recent drama production, “Princess and the Pea,” approximately 40 students auditioned. Everyone who auditioned earned a part whether it was a lead role, theater tech or extra. “A lot of work goes into the rehearsal and set building process,” drama teacher Lori Thompson said. “Rehearsals are every day until 6 p.m. and set building begins at 7 p.m. and finishes at 9 p.m. We accomplish all of this in about four weeks.” For this play they had three extra princesses that were understudies and extras. In addition there were 10 extras and the rest of the people who didn’t earn a speaking part became techs. Techs work backstage

Some also work with the lights and sound. “I got a part as an extra,” sophomore Madyson Curvin said. “I am grateful I got a part because it makes me want to work harder for next time and now I know what to do to score a lead role.” While Curvin didn’t land a lead role she said she enjoyed the audition process. “I kind of had fun with the audition process, we did a read through with the entire group to get a feel of the play and Mrs. Thompson assigned roles to people and then she assigned scenes to those people,” senior Michael Van Camp said. “We took 20-30 minutes to

Sound Board Symphonies Music technology class provides opportunity for students to become familiar with audio production By Bailey Gauss news editor

As the doors open to the band room, senior Megan Voight walks in not ready to play an instrument, but instead prepared to make music on the computer. Voight is enrolled in Music Tech, a class taught by Andrew Perkins about the industry standard for audio production. “Music Technology provides a curriculum that covers the basics of Digital Audio Workstations, Music Notation Software and DAW applications in sound engineering and film scoring,” Perkins said. “We do many small projects in a variety of areas within music production.” There are no prerequisites to take Music Tech, but a background in band, choir or piano is helpful. In the past, there have been three sections to accommodate the demand for the course, however this year because vocal music teacher Brad

t r A f o A Work

Wright is teaching at the middle school, there is not enough schedule room, so there is only one music tech class offered. Although the class lasts just one year, Perkins attempts to prepare the small number of students for a career in audio production. “The goal is to introduce students to the hardware and software that is industry standard in the field of audio production and postproduction, and familiarize them with the kind of projects and skill necessary to succeed in that field.” In addition to regular assignments, students enrolled take part in various projects, such as a Halloween soundscape, that allows them to showcase their musical talent using technology. “The most memorable project I can think of would be the Halloween soundscape,” Voight said. “It was a fun project to make and it was fun to listen to everyone’s projects. Some cool experiences were just learning how to us all of the different

software to make music.” After a couple of months in the class, participants undertake the task of collectively making a movie in the band room and editing the sound using Garageband, Logic and Sibelius. “I took this class because I want to go into audio production as a career, so I hoped that it would help me get closer to that goal,” Voight said. “I have learned more that I thought I could. There are so many softwares involved in the field, this has helped me understand them.”

According to Americans for the Arts, art teaches children life skills such as developing an informed perception, learning how to solve problems and make decisions, and building self-confidence and self-discipline. Art also helps students accept responsibility to complete tasks from start to finish. Artistic abilities come in various forms: playing instruments, sculpting, dancing or singing. Some teachers have experience with music, including counselor Cathy Utter. “Being in the arts was really a magical experience in high school,” Utter said. “Being in many different groups such as band, choir, and marching band, really helped you get to know your ‘peer group’. During my senior year, I auditioned for Musical Youth and was lucky enough to get in. It was a huge stepping stone in my life.” The Musical Youth Program allowed Utter to travel around Europe to compete in countries like England and Scotland. “The Musical Youth Program was a three month tour,” Utter said. “I enjoyed it because I got to make music with many people from other countries. Honestly, there couldn’t be anything better in life than to share my musical talent with other students.” Like Utter, many students have a similar passion for the arts. Senior Justin DeGroat is using his love for music to pursue a degree in the arts.

“I’m going to college for music production and some film scoring,” Degroat said. “I like making music sound good and editing music. I really like Music Tech class so it’s something I would pursue as a career.” Many students who are planning to attend college for the arts, go through a different application process than those who are attending college for academics. For those interested in attending art colleges like DeGroat, a submission of a portfolio is crucial to their admittance. “I have to do a normal college application, then submit a portfolio with projects that I’ve done and pieces that I’ve wrote and produced,” DeGroat said. “Then if the colleges like it they invite me to audition on an instrument to get into their music school.” While majoring in art might not be for everyone, many students take advantage of art courses offered at Fenton High. Students attend art classes to reflect on their creativity. “I love being in Varsity Vocals,” sophomore Leah Lynch said. “Even though it may be hard to some people, it helps you improve your vocal ability.” As some people are aware, sculpture is a popular class for sophomores. “A lot of sophomores this year are taking sculpture,” sophomore Cassidy Curtis said. “It is so much fun and making things is even more fun, especially when our sculptures could be possibly shown at our school art shows.” For students looking into the arts, think of joining choir, band, or one of the many art classes offered in the curriculum.
