Editor’s Note A New Paper for Harrison Central

D

ear reader,

Hello and welcome to the first issue of our school newspaper. We are very excited to have a school paper again! A lot of hard work has gone into making this newspaper, so we hope that you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it.

First of all, we would like to thank all of you for your support. It is very nice to have your involvement in surveys, interviews, and moral support. Thank you for all of your great ideas that were submitted to help name our paper. It was nice to have a variety of names to choose from. Our staff members will be around throughout the year to conduct interviews and surveys from as many students as we can. If you have any comments or suggestions, please tell a newspaper staff member. We would really appreciate some help and new ideas!

With bringing back the newspaper, we have a lot of things that we hope to accomplish this year.

Most importantly we want to cover important news that is occurring throughout our school. Also, we will be covering student life, clubs, sports, and entertainment. Please be understanding if a staff member is asking you random questions or wanting to know every detail of last night’s game. I promise that we’re not stalking you. If there is something that you want us to cover more or less of, just let us know. We want to know what YOU want to read about.

Thank you again for your support. It is very comforting to know that we have an extremely understanding and cooperative student body and teaching staff. This would not be possible without your involvement. You’re the best, and don’t ever forget it.

Sincerely,

Sam Raber and Caitie Young, Co-Editors The Husky Chronicles

New Lunch Options for Students

By Kayla Best

A

new school year brings new changes, and one of this year’s biggest is the cafeteria food. There are numerous changes but the biggest seems to be that we now have the choice to get a salad rather than the main dish, and more importantly, we get french fries again!

Cafeteria head cook, Kathy Pelegreen, was interviewed about the alterations of the food. Some of her thoughts were that she was happy about the food changes, and the thing she likes most about it is that the students are happy and eating lunch. When asked what the food changes were her response was,“There aren’t really any changes, just different options. As for breakfast, it is now served in the cafeteria instead of sending it to the rooms, and you now get something hot or warm to start the day.” She was also asked the reason for changing the food in which she replied, “I was told that the students wanted something different. So we giving them the choice of the different entrees, such as the ham and chicken salads (which average about 100 a day), and so far it seems to be working.” Lastly, when questioned on whether or not she believes the food benefits the students, she replied “Yes I do. We are still following the guidelines given to us by the government,

still using wheat instead of flour and portion sizes are the same. It’s just how you prepare and serve it.”

Also due to the changes a few students were asked the question, ”How do the cafeteria changes make you feel?” Most of the students were happy about the changes, especially the salads and french fries, however one issue was that if you don’t get to school on time then you can’t eat breakfast because you’ll be marked tardy. Malania Birney’s response was, “I like the changes because there’s a better variety.” Also interviewed was Carlee Bailey. She replied, ” It makes me want to eat lunch now, and I like it a lot.” According to Micheline Rexroad, “The french fries taste like Christmas.” All in all I would say that the cafeteria changes are a success and everyone is happy.

olley 4 A Cure

By Brittney Wagner

olley for a Cure is a specific game the junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams hold once a year in support of breast cancer awareness month. In previous years, all the money and proceeds for this game went towards the American Cancer Society but this year it is different. This year the Harrison Central volleyball teams are introducing a new foundation to donate to; this is the Judy Vincenzo Foundation. The Judy Vincenzo Foundation is in remembrance of a strong woman named Judy who lived in Flushing (Belmont County), worked at Harrison Community Hospital for many years, and passed away from cancer. This foundation supports those who live in Harrison, Jefferson, and Belmont Counties with cancer by providing financial aid.

The Volley for a Cure game was played September 29th against Shadyside and was held at the Huskies court. The game lasted 5 sets. The first set for varsity was 25-13 (Shadyside), the second set’s score was 25-17 (Huskies), the third score was 25-17 (Huskies) again, and 25-13 (Shadyside) was the fourth set’s score. The Huskies were victorious with a 15-7 score in the fifth and final set. The Junior Varsity Huskies only played three sets with the scores of 25-18 (Shadyside), 26-24 (Huskies), and 25-17 (Shadyside), resulting in a loss for the girls.

This game donates all ticket money to said organization. They also sell 50/50 tickets and hold raffles for gift baskets; the money received from those activities is also donated. In addition to all donations they contribute, the volleyball players also create signs in support of those battling or those that lost their battle with cancer. For example Rachel Morrison, a JV and Varsity player, has many family members that have had and do have cancer. “This is a very important game for us. We all play harder and try to win since most girls have family or friends with cancer.”

ink Out Game

By Shelby Kelly

E

very year, Harrison Central High holds a Pink Out Game for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The football game will be at home against Oak Glen. It will be played on Friday, October 16th. The gates open at 5pm and remain open throughout the game. The game raises money for the American Cancer Society and a great portion of the proceeds go towards it.

The student section and the fans will be wearing pink along with the band who will be wearing pink plumes on their hats. The football players wear pink socks and other attire to show their support. People can donate by buying tickets to the game, buying things from the concession stand, buying t-shirts, plus there will also be other items for purchase. The cheerleaders are selling t-shirts for $10 dollars, crewnecks for $18 dollars, and hoodies for $25 dollars. The previous pink out games have raised a great deal of money which has made it possible to continue to do it each year.

The game’s main focus is to raise awareness and show that our school wants to participate in finding a cure. We try to make this the biggest game of the season because unlike any other regular season game, these proceeds go toward a good cause. The more people, the more successful the program will become so please come out and support the Huskies for Breast Cancer Awareness.

FFA to attend National Convention

By Grant Cope The Harrison Central FFA chapter will be attending the 88th annual National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Jones will be taking 18 to 20 students with him to the convention from October 28th to October 31st. While attending National Convention they will listen to motivational speakers such as Amberley Snyder, Dr. Rick Rigsby, and Brad Montague. They will also be touring the Louisville Slugger baseball factory and a large dairy farm. They will see a talent contest and a hypnotist show as well.

While there students will have the opportunity to shop at the FFA shopping mall and learn about colleges that offer agriculture programs. The highlight of convention this year will be that the Parliamentary Procedure team will be competing at the national contest for the first time in school history. They won the state contest back in December and will compete in the first round on October 29th. We would like to wish them the best of luck!

Planned Choir Trip

By Dylan Rayl

T

he select choir had originally planned to go on a trip on Dec. 8th to see a group called “Straight No Chaser,” a professional acappella group. This was cancelled due to tickets being sold out. The new trip is planned for mid-spring. As of yet, the location hasn’t been chosen. It was decided that the select choir would go because they’ve worked to serve the community. They have done this by volunteering at local events. Most recently they sang at an event in Sally Buffalo. The money to take their trip this spring was obtained from a grant that Mrs. Snider learned about and then a student representative filled out.The grant allows them to go to one of two theatres in Pittsburgh. One of those is Benedum Center for the Performing Arts.The other is Heinz Hall. The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, a Pittsburgh Cultural Trust theater, is a focal point of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts is owned and operated by Pittsburgh Symphony, Inc., a non-profit organization, and is the year-round home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The main reason that the choir is going is to better educate them in the vocal arts.

Senior Advice

By Karli Ray

#1

Get Good Grades

I know how easy it can be to slack off in high school, especially freshman and sophomore years, because you’re thinking “It won’t matter until senior year.” WRONG. Any senior will tell you they wish they would have studied harder during their first years of high school because colleges will look at those years as thoroughly as they will the later years. You will also get so many more privileges being a student with good grades! Our school has plenty of opportunities if you work hard to get them! Use the resources you have and work to achieve.

It will be worth every minute in the end!

9 Things You Should Know Going Into the 9th Grade:

#2

Find Your Calling

High school is the beginning of figuring out who you are as a person. It’s the prime opportunity to discover the things you’ll like- and the things you don’t. Try new things! Why not take an art class? Why not sign up for the Academic Challenge team? Think you might like acting? Do the spring play. That’s the easiest way to figure out what you love. I did Ohio Model United Nations and it opened my eyes to so many passions I’ve acquired over the years. I dare you to try something new, and explore all options you have. You never know what you’ll find.

#3

Go to as Many School Functions as Possible

When you’re a senior, you will look back and wonder why you didn’t attend that one basketball game, the dance you thought wasn’t cool, and the trip you didn’t end up going on. Believe me, when reflecting back on your high school career, you begin to wish you would’ve soaked up every moment of high school you had available to you because (I’m going to use a cliche here in a second...prepare yourself ) it’s over before you know it. One day you’ll be sitting in my position and longing to go back and experience those things once more, so take advantage of every moment you have.

#4

Realize People Change

I think every senior can attest to the fact that high school brings out people’s true colors. The best friend you’ve had since elementary might not stay your best friend. That guy you thought you’d be with forever might not last more than a few months. You might just realize that group of people you hung out with in middle school just isn’t that great. At first this can be devastating. Trust me, we’ve all been there. My advice to you is to try your best to stay positive. Don’t let one or two people ruin you. Eventually you’ll come to understand that these things that happen to you happen for good reasons, and there comes a point where everything starts to make sense. Your true friends will shine through, and the people that are truly there for you will continue to be there through anything life throws at you. Until then, stay strong, and know better days are coming.

#6

Don’t Mold Yourself to Fit In. Mold yourself to fit you!

It’s easy to find people that you want to be friends with, and try to make yourself believe, act like, and do the things they do. The best day of my life was the moment I decided not to care about what others think. That was the day I became myself. The sooner you come to that realization, the happier you will be. Know that being you is the very best thing you can be in life. Don’t conform into what others are because you want to “fit in” because you will never be truly happy where you are. Find yourself, and be yourself.

#5

Street Laws Apply in the Halls

I’m aware that you’re too young to drive, but it has to come down to common sense here. Always walk on the right side of the hall. If we all migrate towards the right side of whichever way we’re going, traffic will move quicker and ten times smoother. The breezeway is a sacred ground, treat it that way. There’s no need to push through the crowd because, chances are, you’ll get yelled at by irritated upperclassmen. Don’t block the entrances to stairways, don’t push, and stay calm. If we all take our turn and walk through there, kindly, I guarantee we’ll all make it to class on time.

20 | October | The Husky Chronicles

I don’t mean to be a “Debbie downer” here, but I want to be honest with you. You have to work hard. It’s not like elementary and junior high.

Teachers aren’t going to chase you around to do your work. You have to become responsible. The faster you do that, the easier high school will get.

Stay organized. Planners are life savers. Procrastinating has been my biggest hindrance in school, but I’ve slowly learned to overcome it. As long as you plan things out, know when they are due, and put your all into your work, you’ll be fine.

#8

Don’t Get Frustrated

I CANNOT say this enough. Getting stressed, frustrated, worried, and upset will not solve anything. If you don’t understand something, ask.

The teachers and administrators are here to help you, as well as upperclassman. Chances are, they’ve been in your shoes and most likely stressed about the exact same situation. Take a deep breath and look at your problem after you’ve calmed.

Dear Freshmen,

It’s Not Easy

#9

Cherish Every Moment

Here we go again with the cliches, but we’ll all tell you the same thing. High school goes fast.

Four years ago, I was you. I was a scared, lost, and nervous freshman starting the beginning of some of, what I know now as, the best years of my life so far. Don’t rush it. Soon enough you’re going to be doing what the Class of 2016 is doing, but right now, stay a freshman. Love every minute of being the underdog. Make these years count for something. Make goals and achieve them. Show the world that you are the Class of 2019 and you will not be stopped. Go to dances, football games, soccer games, plays, and choir concerts. Join the band, show your teachers, your talent, make friends, and talk to the kid sitting alone at lunch. Make the best out of your high school years.

Q

How did you propose to your wife?

We were driving down a road on Christmas morning in 1994. She was scared to death when we were going down a steep hill, and I asked her.

Q

What is your secret hobby?

I like to listen to the Ohio State Buckeyes more than I like to watch them. Some people think that’s weird.

H

omecoming is a great and fun time of the year, but it can be expensive. I’ve compared how much girls spend to how much guys spend on homecoming, and, as you can tell from the charts, the girls spend way more than the guys.

It could be because girls buy more, including jewelry, shoes and hair. They also buy dresses which are more expensive than any other thing that the guys buy. The boys only have buy their shirt, tie and shoes. It is clear that girls spend way more on Homecoming than boys do.

The five haunted houses included are some of the most popular in the area. All of these haunted houses will provide a fun and scary time GUARANTEED.
