Mary’s Crowning on May Day

Shanley Players tap away on 42nd Street

By Lauren eLLiott

The Shanley Musical of 42nd Street was a show filled with laughs, smiles, and lots of tap dancing.

42nd Street revolves around the story of senior Rachel Seefeldt’s character Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway.

She arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, with just her tap shoes and big dreams.

Peggy’s talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh, portrayed by senior Scott Nester, who gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady, his newest show alongside juvenile star Billy Lawlor, played

by sophomore Ryder Ulmer, and other chorus girls Ann Reily, (senior Josie Paul and sophomore Lauren Elliott), Phyllis Dale (sophomore Addison Ressler and Sophie Hansen, a sophomore from Park Christian), and Lorraine Flemming (senior Hannah Jennings and 7th grader Lillie Knodel).

The show within a show, Pretty Lady stars the classic Broadway diva Dorothy Brock, brought to life by Park Christian sophomore Jadyn Frey, who takes an instant dislike to the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy is injured during the show’s previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close, until Peggy steps in and fulfills her role immaculately.

The show also featured hilari-

ous performances by junior Emily Gietzen and freshman Harrison Shewey, who played the writers of Pretty Lady , Maggy Jones and Bert Barry. 42nd Street was enjoyed by almost all who saw it, and the cast raved about the fun adventure for the cast members, all of whom learned how to tap dance in three short months with no prior experience at all. Many audience members were blown away by the tap-dancing numbers never imagining that each performer was tapping for the first few times ever in front of a live audience.

The show was loved by many who attended, and the Shanley Players hoped that all who came to meet those dancing feet had a good time.

Prom at the Avalon garners rave reviews with new location

By Mara nieLsen

For Shanley Prom this year, the Prom Committee proposed a new idea for the location of the dance. Instead of having Grand March and the dance at Shanley, the junior class decided to have the dance at The Avalon. Overall, the attendees gave it rave reviews considering it a big success with an awesome DJ, food, and a fun environment.

The transition to a different space was aimed to create a more formal feeling prom compared to one in the school gyms, and the big chandeliers and elegant decorations at the Avalon achieved this goal and made prom unforgettable.

The dance was one of the most well-attended proms at Shanley in years, and almost everyone stayed until the end.

Grand March went well too, with some minor hiccups, but knowing this was the first prom to ever be hosted by the Avalon, there were going to be some learning curves.

After prom was also a big hit at the NDSU Memorial Union with the students having access to all the fun activities, like bowling, and tables of food were one of the main attractions.

At the end of the night, the generous parent volunteers ended with door prizes for the attendees. These prizes included gift cards of various values, a TV, and much more!

Prom this year was a great success. Thanks to this year’s prom committee, and good luck to next year’s juniors on planning prom!

Art day was a huge success this year with more booths than ever before.

There was henna, shrinky dinks, oragami, bookmark making, and much more! There were many amazing art submissions, some winning awards in different categories.

Teacher Feature: Mrs. Herzog

By Peace Hakim

Q. Out of all schools, why Shanley?

A. Everybody says it’s about the class, but it’s more than class sizes it’s more about community. I don’t feel like I’m alone as a parent, I don’t feel alone as a teacher, I feel like I’ve got a community supporting me and that’s what I love most about it.

Q. Describe your relationship with students

A. Since I’m not a teacher, I’m not a librarian, I love the fact that I get to be a mom. I get to bring my mom out and I’d like to think I’m a pretty good one, but I get to give advice from a different level or a different perspective on a more personal level. I love that I can come at it from a parent’s perspective.

Q. Favorite teacher growing up and why?

A. I have two favorite teachers. My fifth-grade teacher, Mr. Morgan. I was a terrible student and didn’t like doing homework. He always called me out and held me accountable. My second one was my Senior year English teacher. He was for no nonsense and held you accountable for your actions. When addressing him, you would stand up and address him with respect. I loved how he held himself to that regard but also held us to that regard. He didn’t call me Candy, he called me, Mrs. Benson.

Q. What is a fun fact about yourself?

A. I’m in the Fargo-Moorhead Hall of Fame for bowling. I have been a coach for five years. All of my family members are bowling geeks. If you want to know anything about the game, we have the answer.

Q. What do you want people to know about you?

A. I graduated from Fargo South. Shanley was by far our biggest rival and so I grew up not really loving Shanley. I was surprised by how easily I was able to overcome that once I got to know the community.

Q. If you weren’t working at Shanley where would you work?

A. I would work at a school elsewhere, but I’m not sure I would be as happy.

Q. What is your favorite candy?

A. My favorite candy is chocolate and as I like to say everybody’s favorite candy is me. I do also love butterscotches.

Q. Where is your dream vacation spot?

A. I didn’t get a honeymoon. I got married young and had no money. I keep telling my husband every year the honeymoon is getting bigger. My dream vacation is one hundred percent, the Mediterranean Islands. Enjoying the beautiful blue water and the beaches, exploring the different cultures and enjoying the unique experience.

ents and walk around with them to enjoy the art along with some refreshments.

There was a lot of positive feedback about Art Day, some saying it was the best one yet!

Thanks to the art club for all their hard work in making Art Day possible!

Seniors’ Comeback Secures Student Victory

Student/Staff Basketball Game brings laugher and friendly competition

Softball Building Wins and Confidence

By Emily GiEtzEn

Shanley’s softball team officially started their season with their first game on April 5th against Hankinson, winning 7-5.

“The girls have been bringing their energy to each and every game that we have had,” said assistant Coach Gretchen Rademacher. “This makes practice and games high energy and competitive— which has led to our increased success, in addition to the girls working hard to hone their skills.”

Unfortunately, the weather this spring has made the season a little difficult, but nothing the team couldn’t work around, going through a lot of indoor and outdoor transitions.

“Our games are constantly being rescheduled and we have to cram multiple games into one week,” said junior Hailey Dingmann. “But, being on this team

means a lot to me. I have been playing since 8th grade, and it has helped me become a leader and a better player all around.”

On the other hand, the team has made some big achievements throughout their season. They beat Central, 10-7, at their game on April 23rd; and, they beat Horace, 11-5, at their game on May 1st. This is something the team hasn’t done in previous years.

“Winning and losing aside, getting to see these girls become more confident has for sure been my favorite part of this season,” said Rademacher. “Watching these girls become more confident in their voice, expertise, and ability is truly beautiful.”

The Shanley girl’s softball team’s regular season goes through May 17th, with EDC starting May 21st.

Deacons Baseball Sits

Atop the EDC

By Emily GiEtzEn

The Shanley baseball team has had a really great start to this season, with an overall 14-4 record, and they are 9-0 in conference play. They also have secured the number 1 seed for EDC.

“It’s fun being on this team with everyone,” said junior Landon Hale. “It’s a lot of the same people from last year, so we all have this very special bond.”

“It’s really just one big family,” said junior Quinn Miller. “We’ve all been playing together for a pretty long time and that really helps with the team chemistry.”

They started their season

strong with a win against Red River, beating them 7-2. They then went on to play Bismarck Legacy, winning 7-6.

“It’s a mental game for sure,” said Miller. “The better your mentality, the better you’ll perform.”

The Deacons took a trip to South Dakota early in the season to test their preparedness against new opponents, splitting the weekend 2-2.

“There have been some tough moments this season,” said Hale. “It was against Sioux Falls when there was a good number of us gone for other commitments.”

The tough trials gave the Deacons good things to work on set-

ting Shanley up for a hot streak throughout the rest of the season, especially picking up a key win against rival Fargo Davies.

The team has continued its strong run this season, winning their last six games. Their regular season goes through May 14th, with EDC starting May 21st.

If the Deacons are able to qualify for state, they will be traveling out to Dickinson to take on North Dakota’s best. The solid group of seniors, Tommy Simon, Landon Meier, Boden Meier, Carson Johnson, Gavin Kruk, Sam Ovsak, Jordan Leininger, and Adam Leininger, are looking to go out on top as state champions.

Tennis Turning Aces Track gears up for State Meet

By yasmin zrEik

Girls Tennis has been off to a phenomenal start this year winning their first two matches against Grand Forks Red River and Grand Forks Central.

Even after suffering a loss against Valley City, the Deacons came back strong sweeping Fargo South winning 8 matches and losing 1.

“The season’s been great this year and we bring the energy to matches and practices every day,” said freshman Taylor Sandin.

The squad has been motivated every day to put in the energy and really work hard.

The Deacons headed off to Wahpeton on May 3rd returning victorious winning 9 matches and losing 0.

The following week, the team welcomed Fargo Davies but not coming out with great results. The Deacons have played wonderfully this season, but it is also a sad moment to let go of seniors Madeline Abbot, Annabelle Maher, Peach Leiviska, and Lucy Haldis.

There will be a new set of leaders next year leading the younger girls to do the same but not before Shanley takes on the EDC Tournament in Fargo followed by the State Tournament in Grand Forks.

Soccer looks towards State

By laurEn Elliott

This year, the Shanley girls soccer team was the first Shanley team to play on the new turf.

With this came pressure to win their home games. Their first home game ended in a win against Grand Forks Central, 1-0.

The Deacons have kept that hot streak going at Sid Cichy Stadium only dropping one of their first five home games.

The girls have also proven themselves on the road unbeatable in EDC play resulting in four wins and two ties. One of their strongest matches came in a dominating 6-0 victory over the Fargo South Bruins.

There are two seniors in varsity soccer this year, captain forward Mia Metzger and Allie Emineth on defense. The Deacons also have strong leadership from their junior captains Cadee Schanzenbach, a solid part of Shanley’s defensive line, and midfielder Nora Roney. Shanley is looking to lock up the number two seed in the EDC to earn a berth at the State Tournament to be held in Minot.

By Emily GiEtzEn

Track has been going very well for the Shanley Track Team this season. There have been a few state qualifiers and new improvements for everyone on the team, starting the season on February 26th.

“Our team started off pretty strong in March with our indoor season and we’ve carried that same energy over into our outdoor season,” said senior Paige Renschler.

The team started their outdoor season on April 5th at Sheyenne High School. There, the team had juniors Holden Deutsch and Erika Wanner qualify for state in discus; and junior Odura Isaac qualified in the 100 meter hurdles. Senior Seely Stockmoe then qualified for State in shot put with 39’-5”.

“This is the most throwers that have been qualified in forever and I love how amazing everyone is doing!” said Stockmoe. “Knowing we have amazing coaches and team-

mates who want me to perform my best is such a blessing.”

“We are pleased with the results we’ve been having so far,” said Coach Chris Foerster. “In the first outdoor meets of the year, we had many state qualifiers and we’ve continued to build on that all season.

Renschler even beat her own school record for the 200 meter dash with a time of 25.18 seconds.

“Being part of this team is super fun, everyone is always very energetic and ready to help each other improve,” said Renschler. “The constant support and positive encouragement from my teammates and coaches has definitely been a big contribution to my success.”

“Every team develops an identity,” said Foerster. “This team has an incredible love for track and an energy that is contagious. We start every practice and meet smiling, happy, and ready to go to work to get better.”

New coach, former Shanley grad leading Boys Golf

By yasmin zrEik

Shanley welcomes new coach Lucas Johnson to lead Boys Golf this year, who is a Shanley High School graduate of 2017. He played for the NDSU Golf Team until he graduated in 2021.

Boys Golf started their season with their first game at Village Green golf course on Monday April 15, placing third overall. Senior Zach Skarperud carded the individual top score on the team with a 76 and 8th grader Ryker Grinaker shot an impressive 79.

The team went off to Madison South Dakota Country Club on April 18th and took 7th place with the lowest score being an 89.

“We have the motivation and a great team, and even if we don’t get the outcome we expected, we still keep trying,” says freshman Tommy Baumgartner.

This shows the drive of the

Shanley Golf team and the type of mindset to push through no matter what.

South Dakota welcomed Shanley again on April 19 and they placed 4th overall, Zack Skarperud with the prime score of a 74. The following week, the boys went off to play Kings Walk in Grand Forks with a slightly smaller team due to the juniors being gone for their retreat.

Right back at it the following week on April 30th, the boys went off to Detroit Lakes Country Club. Adrian Fillipi with an individual best score of an 80.

Staying close to home, the Deacons played Rose Creek Golf Course, placing fourth as a team led by Skarperud’s 77.

Shanley will look to the EDC meet at Kings Walk in Grand Forks to qualify as a team for the state meet.
