The 1972 musical “Pippin” is now coming to our own South stage. “Pippin” is a musical about a teen boy who is looking for a purpose in his life-- a theme that resonates even 50 years later. He meets new people and goes through new experiences as he is trying to find his “corner of the sky.” The musical will be performed in the auditorium from February 1o to 12 at 7p.m. each night. Jack Blackburn, senior, is playing the lead role of Pippin. He has been in theater since middle school, in every show that South has put on during his high school years and is the president of Center Stage. Blackburn said, “You can expect a lot of big numbers, a lot of sounds because it is a very upbeat show with dark undertones.” Unlike the performance with strict COVID protocols last year, the theater department is back to lively numbers with many actors. Blackburn also said, ”This year we had up to 60 people which is about double the number it was last year. We have grown so close to each other that it feels like a family. I have loved getting to see and hear all the progress my fellow performers have made during practice.” This year for the first time, the South Theater department has its first student technical director. Abby Miller, a senior, has been running the show from behind the curtain since she was a freshman. She has been a stage manager, and now she is the technical director. She makes the final decisions for lighting design, set pieces and painting. Miller also is in charge of leading all the other stage managers. Miller said that this year’s production was completely different from last year. She said, “This year we don’t have to social distance on stage and we can have close connections on stage. Last year, the actors sat in chairs in the back and would come to the front of the stage to perform.” This is Miller’s last year in theater and at South, and she said she has learned so much from the program over the years. She said, ”I realized that I really love theater. I am going to college for it and want to do this for the rest of my life. I learned the importance of being organized as a leader and having fun with what you are doing.” Don’t forget to come and support the South Theater department and watch their production of Pippin as he finds his “corner of the sky.”

A few weeks ago, my family rang in the new year with Ryan Seacrest, which came with the usual suspects: ridiculously peppy hosts, trending pop artists, and the awkward “first millionaire of the year.” And as always, the coming year was treated as a fabled land of better times and “bouncing back”. The problems of 2021 would stay there, and we could step forward into the future. You could say I’m a bit skeptical. There was a time when very few people believed COVID could possibly remain a problem beyond the second semester of 2020’s school year. (I certainly fell into that category.) Masks and vaccines were advocated as end-all-be-all solutions. When the ball dropped at midnight January 1, 2021, people agreed that times were changing for the better. And yet, here we are in 2022 with COVID cases surging and the same old confusion, with another variant on our hands just as we thought the worst was done with. Our bleak reality is a tough pill to swallow, especially as someone who’s been advocating for masking and vaccinations from the beginning. To have done everything right only to be in the same situation two years later is discouraging, to say the least.
Will 2022 (Finally) Be Our Year? It’s become harder to force myself to go through the motions of putting my mask on every day, getting my third shot, and limiting my exposure. And especially with school even having to close down for two days at the end of January, I’ve really had to consider how worth it everything is; if my best efforts aren’t enough, why bother? I think a lot of people have reached this “why bother” stage as we’ve dealt with COVID, and now that I’m at this point I’ve done some evaluation. Most of all, I’ve wondered whether it’s wrong of me to feel so tired of measures meant to keep everyone safe. But I’ve come to realize that feeling “over it” is natural--expected even, considering the length of this pandemic. The reinstated mask mandate felt like a step back, but in some ways it’s a step forward as we work towards a full recovery. And if all the irritating little sacrifices of life with COVID help keep just one person safe, I’ll consider it worth it. So I’ll continue to put on my mask in the morning… even if it’s with a sigh.

Y ’allternative
A New Music Genre A lte rn a tiv e c o u n tr y m u s ic h a s re c e n tly ris e n in p o p u la rity by ALICE GAMBLE Cowboy boots, lifted trucks, beer, girls. These are the staple ingredients of a country song on the radio today. Some love the fun, party music, others hate it in favor of other genres, and some resent it for how it has changed from what it used to be. However, there is another option:a relatively new genre that appeals to all of these viewpoints - alternative country. The upcoming style of music features a less pop-ish and more classic country sound, with deep, meaningful lyrics and artists who write their own songs. It first emerged in the ‘90s and is regaining popularity today thanks to social media. The term “y’allternative” has also gained popularity on social media, related to the alt country music genre and now a subculture itself. I used to be the type of person who liked the country music that’s played on the radio, and I truly thought it was good. Then one day I heard the song “Pay No Rent” by the Turnpike Troubadours. It was country, but it was different - it had more heart and feeling, in both the music and the lyrics. It was so genuine and raw, yet still done so well. I listened to that song countless times, then I found other songs and artists with a similar style and my tastes expanded as I discovered this genre. Another tremendous song that made me love the genre was “All I See Is You”
by Shane Smith and the Saints. The fiddle echoed through my soul the first time I heard it; the music was absolutely beautiful, and along with the lyrics, the picture that the band attempted to convey was painted perfectly in my head. I’ve also found some great artists, such as Zack Bryan, Tyler Childers and Colter Wall. They each have many fantastic songs and have recently gained popularity on TikTok and other social media platforms. However, this genre features more than just pretty music and love songs. The stories behind some of these songs include the injustices of the music industry, life lessons from a father to his son, the struggles of providing for one’s family, and tales of mystery, murder and, of course, heartbreak. I truly believe that alternative country has a little something for everyone. It’s understandable that some don’t like mainstream country music, since it appeals to a very specific audience, which is white people living in the suburbs. However, the stories that are told in alternative country songs can relate to people from all walks of life, with its stories of struggle and hardship, as well as love and good times. No matter your views on mainstream country music, alt country deserves a listen from everyone.

NEW SPACE for a
FAMILIAR FACE
One South staff member moved from Campus Supervisor to Art Teacher this semester by KAITLYN CAIN
In life it is the little wins that make us excited for the triumphs, and South had one win to announce at the end of first semester: a brand new art teacher. Not just a random hire, but someone who has been with South for almost 12 years, John Sutton, art, who moves into the position from Campus Supervisor. Sutton is an artist. In the very beginning, he subbed at South when it opened in 1998. From 2000-2005, he took another position at South, then left in 2005 to become a full time practicing artist and focused on his career. He came back to South in 2017, and said he couldn’t be happier. Sutton even had the opportunity to bring his professional artistic experience into South by painting the new mural in the gym with a few artist friends. Every day, students in the gym get to see his work and Sutton hopes that inspires students to be proud of themselves and each other. Sutton loves South, and he wants it to feel like a home for so many of our students. “The relationships that I can build, made me love South. Everybody here, regardless of their position, they all have a story, you know, and they all have a background, and you just might not ever imagine that this person is, for example, myself is an artist or this person plays the piano, or someone is a dancer. They all have something special about them. They might not pick up on their role here that they play at South, but South is a very special place,” said Sutton. There is no doubt that Sutton is going to have a special place in the art department. His compassion for students is admirable, and he is a true symbol of all teachers. They want what is best for students, and they will do whatever is in their power to help students flourish and become the people they want to be in life. “It didn’t take him any time at all to start connecting with some students, and that’s one of the things I found most impressive--his way of connecting with students, really hearing a student and then being able to hear their need or interest and circle back to them and follow up,” said Callie Colvin, art. Colvin said she likes how he brings a new perspective. “He taps into a whole different world because he is a professional artist, she said. “He has an artist friend who makes handmade paper, and within days he brought a huge stack of scrap handmade paper, and shared it with this one particular student who had an interest.” It is important that South has more teachers like this, more teachers who make students want to learn and succeed. Sutton will bring different perspectives as an artist, like recourses, and especially different perspectives
as a person. So far he is doing so as he helps with a variety of art classes during the day. “I think he is doing a really good job co-teaching, stepping in and helping out. Getting into the groove of being a teacher. I think he brings a positive energy, he is nice and supportive, he doesn’t make it a stressful environment. He has talked about his experience in art and his background and he brings that into the classroom every day,” said Zibah Wymer, junior. Growing up, Sutton said he didn’t have a teacher of color until he got to college. That was one of the main reasons he decided to become a teacher. With his parents in the military, he grew up around so many people of different race and religion. He believes this has made his views racially so accepting. “I really think that I could really be a great help to some issues South was having, especially being an African American teacher,” he said. ‘Race isn’t something I see first in a person, but I think it is very important to respect and recognize different ethnicities and cultures. The one thing that I have found is that there are so many more similarities between people than there are differences. Those differences that are there are differences that I think need to be celebrated. I hope to bring that understanding to South as well, that exposure and wanting to learn about other people.” In these trying times it truly is the little things that matter. Our little wins, like the introduction of a new art teacher, bringing variety in perspective and diversity into students’ everyday lives.

“Won’t it be wonderful when Black history and Native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.” —Maya Angelou America will observe Black History Month throughout the month of February. Today, this month is used to continue the discussion of black people and their contributions to the world. Black History Month is an important time for everyone, not just African Americans. It is a part of American history that needs to be emphasized more in our schools. South has provided numerous opportunities to learn about this pivotal period in history through clubs such as the BSU (Black Student Union) and classes such as African American studies. Students and teachers, on the other hand, believe that South can do more to represent African Americans in the classroom. “I would love to see a more concerted effort by all of our staff to include more in our lessons (myself included). We don’t have to specifically teach history to show how our subject matter or area has been shaped by all people,” Somer Stuhlsatz, one of the sponsors of BSU, said. This fact became clear following the recent controversy that erupted at the start of the 2021-2022 school year. Taking the time to educate oneself and empathize with others’ struggles can go a long way toward creating a suitable environment. Many African Americans have accomplished this. From Martin Luther King Jr., who initiated the civil rights movement, to Jackie Robinson, the first African-American athlete to play in the major leagues, these figures have served as a source of inspiration for students at South. “One Black figure in history who inspires me is Michelle Obama. She was the first Black First Lady and she had to deal with so much BS throughout her career, but she still stayed strong and maintained her
peace and positive attitude. She is a role model for black women everywhere,” Brooklyn Johnson, junior, member of the BSU, said. When most students hear the term Black History Month, a slew of thoughts rush through their heads. Some people think of well-known people, while others recall significant events like the underground railroad during the Civil war. “I think of the powerful leaders in our past such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. I think of them because of the acts they did to make Black people free,” Mathew Roby, sophomore, said. Carter G. Woodson, a Black educator at Kent State University in February 1969, was one of the first to suggest Black History Month. Woodson wanted Americans to appreciate African Americans’ achievements, which are frequently overlooked by society. “Black History Month is important to me because, as a member of a biracial family, living in both worlds, it is important for me to feel connected and proud of both sides of my heritage. Black History Month allows me to celebrate the accomplishments of my past ancestors, empowering me to inspire change and acceptance among my peers and my community to help pave a path for future generations of people like me to have access to more opportunities and achieve greater accomplishments,”Roslyn Strong, sophomore, said. Barack Obama once said, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” As a new generation of students, we can make significant changes for the better or the worst. We will be able to combat injustice in South, and possibly even America, by working together as a school community.

Disaster. It is a huge step back for one of the best teams in the NFL. Bottom of the AFC West and trending towards not even making the playoffs. Some analysts even said that Dak Prescott is a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes. All of these comments were targeted at the Kansas City Chiefs after the Chiefs 2-3 start. They had the worst defense in the NFL and the offense couldn’t put up enough points to sustain the bad defense. Many people said the Chiefs wouldn’t even make the playoffs. However, eventually, they turned everything around winning eight games in a row and nine of their last ten games. The key to their success was getting used to not just being a big shot big-play team. They had to learn how to play ball control football and take what the defense gives them. The best part of this win streak was the defense. Throughout these ten games, the defense allowed 15.9 points per game which were in the top five of the NFL. The Chris Jones and Tyrann Mathieu-led defense ended up as the eighth overall defense in the NFL. Although they were the 2-seed in the AFC playoff picture they are regarded as the best team in the AFC and maybe the NFL. They easily stopped the Steelers winning 42-21 and now face off against the Bills in the divisional round. The divisional round game against the Bills will be regarded as one of the best games of all time. The last four drives of this game ended in touchdowns and there was a
record breaking 25 points scored in the last 2 minutes of the game. The Chiefs had been leading the majority of the game when they gave up a third touchdown to Bills Wide Receiver Gabriel Davis. Only for Tyreek Hill to catch a 70 yard touchdown to give the wwChiefs another lead. Davis then scored his fourth touchdown of the game breaking the NFL record for most touchdowns in a postseason game. The Chiefs down 3 with 13 seconds got the ball back. Before taking the field Coach Andy Reid told Mahomes “When times are grim be the grim reaper.” He lived up to this taking the chiefs down the field to score a game tying field goal with time running out. The game went to overtime where the Chiefs won on the first drive. They now head to their fourth consecutive AFC Championship at Arrowhead (an NFL record) to play Joe Shiesty and the Bengals. “All of the real fans believe in our team and know they can do it,” said diehard Chiefs fan Hayden Klein. Unfortunately the Chiefs season came to a close Sunday January 30 in a disappointing end. The Bengals defeated the Chiefs 27-24 in OT after trailing 21-3 at one point. Mahomes had a very rough second half leading the Chief’s offense to a 3 point second half and overtime. Following the loss Mahomes said “When you have a 21-3 lead and lose it isn’t on anyone other than me.” Regardless of the disappointing end, the Chiefs had a great season going to their fourth straigh AFC championship game.

If you haven’t lived under a rock the past month, then you know about or have seen the new SpiderMan movie—”Spider-Man: No Way Home”—starring Tom Holland. Spider-Man has been a Marvel icon since 1962. The story goes: Stan Lee spotted a fly on a wall and thought to himself, “Boy, it would be great if I could get a superhero who could stick to walls like an insect.” After trying many different bug related name combinations, Lee fell upon Spider-Man, and thus, the most beloved superheroes was born. What set Spider-Man apart from other comic book heroes was that as much as he was Spider-man, he was also Peter Parker. He was a kid—a kid with real problems. His uncle was murdered, these unique powers are thrusted upon him abruptly, he carries the weight of the city on him, and let’s face it, he’s not exactly the cool kid at school. These challenges make him relatable to fans, along with the fact that you can’t see his face. Fans can imagine their own face under the white up-turned eyes, swinging around from building to building, saving the city. In 2002, Sam Raimi gave a face behind the mask on the big screen—Toby Maguire being the first of three big screen Spider-mans. As the Spider-Man movie franchise grew, so did the storylines. Through the first three Spider-man movies, villains like Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Green Goblin II, Sandman, and Venom face off against the friendly neighborhood Spider-man. Parker uses the same phrase to push himself to fight these evils: with great power comes great responsibility—the phrase coming from his Uncle Ben before he was killed by the robber Peter let run free. Maguire’s Spider-Man was the kickstart for superhero action in Hollywood. Though after the third movie, Maguire, along with Raimi, decided this was the end to this version of Peter Parker. We wouldn’t see Spider-Man again until summer of 2012. Andrew Garfield took on the iconic role in Matt Tolmach’s reimagine for the nerdy teenage superhero. With a similar story to Maguire’s, Garfield’s Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider and wakes up with sticky fingers and Spidey senses. Though the story behind
the spider is unique for each variation of the hero. Just like Maguire’s Peter, Garfield loses his Uncle Ben in a similar fashion—pushing the saying: with great power comes great responsibility. Garfield differs from Maguire mainly through the variation of villains and love interests. The lizard, Electro, and Green Goblin (Harry Osborn) are the main villains fought throughout “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Garfield’s Parker pursues Gwen Stacy--played by Emma Stone--throughout both movies. Unfortunately, Garfield’s Spider-Man screen time was cut short as the third “Amazing Spider-Man” movie was canceled. Fans got their first glance at Tom Holland’s version of Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016 as he has a brief fight scene with Captain America. The first of three films for Holland released in 2017—”Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Though still as nerdy and spider-y as ever, the story execution of Holland’s Peter Parker is quite different from the two previous. We never see or talk too much about Uncle Ben—in turn, no robber, no great responsibility. That doesn’t stop the new Spider-Man from protecting his city (and the world) in any way that he can. Like Garfield, Holland’s Parker has to make the webs that he shoots himself—opposed to being able to produce them from his body like Maguire. The newest version of Peter Parker has completely different main villains than the others, though he still battles with classmate Flash, like Maguire and Garfield. Although we don’t see Uncle Ben’s death, this Parker still experiences the death of a father figure in the form of Tony Stark. Holland’s love interest is Michelle Jones-Watson or MJ (played by Zendaya) and intended to be a reimagined MJ Watson from Spider-Man 1 (played by Kirsten Dunst). “Spider-Man: No Way Home” provides long-term Spider-Man fans with the thrill of a lifetime by putting all three Spider-mans together in one movie, allowing them to fight alongside each other to do what’s right. Once again, highlighting the nature of Peter Parker to do what he can for the good of the people.
