Juniors prepare for SAT On April 13, Michigan juniors will all take on the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test), and are now preparing for this new test format in their classes. Compared to the ACT, the SAT has different scoring. There is an essay, reading, and writing, which is evidence based, but there is no science portion which would be scored on reading. The math is also way wordier and students are taught to pick out the main points.

“I feel overwhelmed and it is nerveraking to be the first class taking it and I’m kind of scared to,” junior Stephanie Walker said.

In order for students to begin preparing for this test, teachers are starting to do SAT practice worksheets. Math classes do warm-ups, English does essay Sarah Allen Staff Reporter

writing and reading, science and social studies classes do parts of reading selections. In English, to prepare for the essay writing and reading, students are taught to read the article for how it says it, not what it says. Their main goal is to find the authors argument.These practices are similarly timed to how it would be on the test. For more practice, students can also visit Khanacademy.org.

You can always learn ways on how to get a great score and get testing strategies. Strategies for reading comprehension are just to look for the main idea and find the other details you need to later, and in writing you need to think about the easiest and clearest way to express an idea. For math you should know your formulas and know how to do most multi step problems. Preparing for this new test helps the students learn wording

Everyone has a vice and it’s important that it’s heard.”

The Tectonic Leadership program has meetings every Tuesday up until the end of February. They will have a presentation March 15 to show the school board as well as the police department what they have learned these past few months. This new program could be the start of a powerful movement throughout high schools in the U.S.

of problems so they can find what is really important and what the questions are asking. Doing this sets the focus on familiarity so students can do the ones they know first then go back to the trickier ones. For example, do not leave a question that you do not know blank because you still can receive points. Since colleges see your score, you will really want to do your best to show your knowledge.

“Reviewing does help students. When doing it for the ACT testing, students’ scores went up drastically by eight points!” math teacher Andrea Gabbard said.

As students practice these skills more and more, it will help students learn these concepts. Once it comes time for the test, they will be able to answer the questions easSarah Allen ily without confusion or hesitation. Junior Julie Camarata begins studying for the SAT

Jasmine Zarves Staff Reporter

As we all know, it is the month of February, which means it is the time for planning that special gift for that special one, couples planning dates, friends hanging out and much more. I gathered a few of our RHS students and asked them what their plans for Valentine’s Day are.

“I am hanging out with my boyfriend,” sophomore Megan Clanin said.

“Going to get froyo with my friend,” junior Brittany Major said.

“I am staying home,” freshman Jadryn Jackson said.

“Hanging out with my cat,” senior Phoenix Suits said.

“I am going to Florida,” freshman Jenna Smalsting said.

“I am giving my girlfriend $100 to go towards her trip to disney to make her happy,” junior Tyler Street said.

Jordan said.

The club started when sophomore Anthony Junnila, Brennan Coles, and junior Alex Bolling were at AIM (After School Intervention and Mentoring) and assistant principal Scheff noticed that they were playing Magic and talked to them about creating the club.

Scheff stopped by to purchase Magic cards for the gaming club’s upcoming tournament and alumni Scamihorn noticed that Scheff was going to pay for the cards with money out of his own pocket on behalf of the club.

“I offered to donate to help the club because Scheff always took an extra step for the kids,” Scamihorn said.

Sophomore wins speech contest

The Roseville Optimist Club sponsored their annual Oratorical contest on Jan. 17.

The competitors prepared five minute speeches on the topic “How my best brings out the best in others.”

The competitors were Roseville middle and high school students.

Zack Peters, a sophomore at RHS won the first place prize this year. He will compete in March against other districts, and then against other students from other states later in the year.

Peters made a unique approach to his speech. He elaborated about using his personal techniques on his social media.

He reaches out to people who are going through hardships in their personal lives and tries to give them advice and helps them see the best in their future.

Fatimah Odeh Staff Reporter

“My main goal is to bring the best in others. If you have the opportunity and make something good out of it,” Peters said. He was not expecting to win.

“I went fourth and I was really nervous when I walked up there but I shook off the jitters and just remembered that there’s always another chance next year and the next few years to come. I performed and it went great. I was beyond shocked when I won because the other contestants were really good,” Peters said.

He would like to thank English and speech teacher Sue Kosinski for teaching him how to perform in front of an audience, and taking the time give him tips on his speech.

“Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds, you can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds” Peters said.

The gaming club prepares for their tournament.

Games was based off of a small comic book store that was closed in 2006.

Eternal Games opened in March 2014 and is a full service non-video game store that offers card games, comic books, board games and even a place for customers to hang out and play card games.

Eighth grader comes to RHS

Cole Clanin is an eighth grader from EMS who takes some classes at RHS. Clanin attends Eastland Middle School for English, gym, and world history during first, second, and third hours. He then attends RHS for accelerated biology, varsity band, and honors geometry. His favorite teacher is the band director, Dan Chesher.

“He always helps me out with everything, not just band,” Clanin said.

Clanin says that he pursues to go to Harvard or Yale for college. He also aspires to become an accountant when he is older.

“I have always loved school” Clanin said.

It is where he excels in his studies and stands out among his peers. He is determined, hard working, and proud his accomplishments. Clanin lives with his sister, Megan, mom, stepdad John, and three pit bulls: Coco, Damage, and Chaos. Clanin said that his friends and family are always there for him and stick up for him when he needs them.

If you ever see Cole around stop and say “Hi”. Let’s make Cole feel welcome here. Clanin will be joining us next year to continue his high school at RHS. Fatimah Odeh Staff Reporter

For You Winter favorites

3. The stars

Since it gets dark so quick, that just means it is time for the inner astronomy to come out! I mean there is Jupiter, Castor, Capella, Sirius and so many more that you can observe! Or, as suggested It is that time of year again. It is the yearly appearance of the bleak Alana Carl Copy Editor darkness of winter. The shorts are long gone (well, maybe, this weath- in the beginning, you can simply take a snuggie, hot chocolate and gaze up at the sky at the stars er has been temperamental) and the sun has all but disappeared. Win- that almost seem to twinkle in the winter night. So, ter is a trying time, so it is no wonder so many people are glum during the season. As maybe you have a telescope or an inner astronomer a resident of Michigan, winter has always been well, a troubling time. But, as always, waiting to come out that may very well benefit there is always a silver lining to be had in any situation! from the endless starry nights of winter.

1.

Comfort food

So, depending on your diet, this may or may not be the best thing. But, since you might get stuck in the house quite a bit(who really wants to go outside in wind that you can actually see move and swirl around?) who’s to say you can’t go in the cupboard, find some marshmallows and some hot chocolate and relax as re-runs run. Or, better yet, find a snuggie and watch from your window the winter wonderland right outside your door! As an extra bonus, there might even be the pretty snow and the dancing wind to keep your sights entertained!

waterfordpress.com

4. Activities meant to cheer you up

If it’s not too bad out, you may wander outside. To your delight, you might even get to go ice-skating. While, it does take awhile to learn how to not fall down, the ice rink is a cherished treasure for many. You might even get some hot food and some nice winter memories to hold you off until the season that is not winter starts off. But, if that doesn’t sound too appealing you could also try and go sledding, permitting there is enough snow on the ground.

Or, perhaps you might like to start a fire in your backyard and have s’mores. As you may know, your fun is as limited as your imagination!

5. Intrapersonal time

Amber Weller

That is just a fancy way of saying that more than likely, you might not venture away from your room which would cause you to stew to yourself. Aside from maybe school and work, you might have a little free time on your hands and days where you probably don’t want to step foot outside. So, it might be a good time to perhaps finish some college applications or study for the SAT. Or, you could practice an instrument. Or watch TV and think about your life, dreams, and accomplishments. Because, to be honest, what else is there to do?

2. The clothes

It’s cold, it’s winter, so no one would really fault you for finding the biggest sweater you have and putting it on. It’s winter, and by Dec. 22, everyone is pretty much over it. Because, certainly after celebrating the start of a new season, the weight of now knowing that it is time for frozen streets, temperatures that may reach below zero and perhaps snow someone would have to shovel, it will probably put a damper on things. But, to look on the bright-side, you might you get inspired and start to wear the cutest boots you could find matched with the cutest sweater. It doesn’t really matter, but the seasonal fluffy wear is kind of cool and has its own perks. It is soft and warm, so what more could you ask for? Well, besides warmer weather that is.

Fashion has always been a big part of society. Trends come and go, but sometimes the trends that come back end up staying around for a long time. Fashion items ranging from the time period 1960s to 1990s, including knee high boots, peace headbands, chokers, crop tops, high waist skirts, belly shirts, holy jeans, chunky shoes, and transparent purses are just a few styles that have come back.

Larger companies are bringing back these older fashion trends at random times.

Evidence for older fashion trends can Amber Weller Staff Reporter

be found at the mall.

There are many stores that showcase theses older fashions such as Rue 21, American Eagle, some shoe stores, Wet Seal, and many more. These stores have flannels, holy jeans, floral shirts, striped hoodies, camouflage, floral dresses, and much more.

Some teachers wore different styles when they were younger, and certain fashion trends are very unique. The responses to older trends that come back vary, take the flannels that have come back in style compared to JNCO Jeans, for example.

“The older trends are much nicer than

the newer ones,” art teacher Fiona Rawson said.

“I see many flannels making a comeback,” junior Lily Palmer said.

“I think it expresses a unique sense of creativity,” senior Sarah Hoover said.

Once they come back into style, they end up becoming popular by the media. Yet, the old fashion comes back in different shapes and creativity.

Such as stripes, floral patterns, camouflage, and different types of clothing that were not used in the past.

Vintage has been a big hit lately in the fashion world, along with many other styles.

Trash Talk With Tony & Troy

HGH: Is it Troy Frank wrong for profesSports Editor Tony Dombrowski sional athletes to use it?

Sports Editor HGH, also known as human growth hormone, is a hormone that fluctuates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals. With its abilities and lack of side effects, just

Tony:

boiling down to headaches and tingling sensations, athletes have used it for over 30 years to gain an illegal edge over their competition.

Cases have been pulled from sports corporations such as Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the Olympics.

The definition of HGH, Human Growth Hormone, is a performance enhancing drug that helps to regulate body composition, body fluids, muscle and bone growth. However, according to Melinda Ratini DO, MS article on www.webmd. com, the way many people use HGH is not FDA approved.

Some people use the hormone, along with other performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids in an attempt to build muscle and improve athletic performance. Sound familiar to something? What about the performance enhancing drug that is banned in just about every professional sport today? The drug that is keeping some of the greatest athletes to play sports out of their respective sports hall of fame? Yep, steroids. Another performance enhancing drug that is said to build up muscle and improve athletic performance. There is a reason HGH is not legal in professional sports, because it is another form of steroids. HGH is also known to help specific injuries, being able to heal injuries in half the time. However, it still builds muscle and improve athletic performance. Steroids is legal in professional sports cause it helps build muscle and improve athletic performance, so why should HGH, which is almost the same thing as steroids, be legal in professional sports? If you ask me, it should stay illegal, and players who use the drug should receive the same punishment players who used steroids do.

Many view it as a type of steroid that increases athletic ability in its players and thus gives them an advantage against the competition.

This would then help the idea that all sports should keep it illegal.

The opposing view is that, while playing, the drug may lead

to an increase in stamina, but the drug would make someone less inclined to tolerate a stressful workout. Critics then conclude that the drug should be used to help out with injuries only, stating that cell regeneration and reproduction would heal any serious breaks or tears a player might receive. Any other use, according to them, should be banned.

Troy:

HGH is illegal for a reason. That reason is fear. According to Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban in an interview with TMZ Live, NBA executives do not want to make the hormone legal due to the fear of media backlash.

“The World Anti-doping (Agency), in particular, the Olympics just says no, and they have so much PR sway that no one wants to fight it. So when I bring it up at a meeting, whether it’s an NBA meeting or other athletic organizations I’ve gone and spoken about it to; their response is ‘we just don’t want a PR nightmare’,” Cuban said.

He also brought up a good point earlier in the interview. Why is it ok for lasic eye surgery, or any surgery for that matter? They both improve your performance and un-naturally strengthen your body, but HGH is illegal because it is taken with a needle? Either way, legalization of HGH is not about performance enhancing, but rather, taking sports rehab into the 21st century.
