Homecoming issue
Citation preview
By Tiana Quinney
The last three years have
changed my life in so
many different ways.—
both good and bad ,
happy and
sad. Being in
high school is
getting me
prepared for
the outside
world. I will
miss my true
friends—
Victoria, Brit-
tany, Tiff and
a couple of
other friends
as well (love
y’all). They
are the reason
that I come to
school. Another reason I
come to school is to see
my baby Jeffrey Prince.
Thinking about this be-
ing my last homecoming
is really sad. Not having
the class of 2010 around ,
all together, just won’t
feel the same. After
you’ve gotten use to see-
ing the same people
over and over each day,
they kind of grow on
you. Even the teach-
ers make you want to
stay in school even if
you fail or pass their
classes .
I will remember
this homecoming
the most, because
it’s mine. This
homecoming is not
like the others. At
the other ones, you
have fun. But after
seeing my class-
mates this year for
the last few times,
and actually having
fun representing our
class, It kind of
brings tears to your
eyes because this
will be our last
homecoming.
You don’t want no Orange and Green! You don’t want none!
Yah! Yah!

T’is the Season to Catch the Flu: Don’t Let It Happen to You!
The flu is on the rise. Experts
and neighborhood doctors are
echoing the call for everyone to
practice safe flu prevention
techniques. The following are
ways to prevent yourself from
contracting this contagious vi-
rus.
Wash your hands. Wash your
hands in hot soapy water for the
amount of time it takes you to sing
"Happy Birthday" twice (15-20
seconds).
Be Aware of public surfaces.
When you've shaken hands with
someone, or when you're using
something like a pen that others
have recently used--and don't touch
your face until you've had a chance to wash
your hands.
Keep hydrated. Drink 8-10 8-oz. glasses
of water each day to flush toxins from your
system and maintain good moisture and
mucous production in your sinuses.
Eat immune boosting foods. Fatty foods
can slow your metabolism, make you feel
sluggish, and compromise your immune
system. Stick with whole grains, colorful
vegetables, and vitamin-rich fruits.
Avoid Alcohol. Alcohol is an immune
suppressant that can actually decrease
your resistance to viral infections like
swine flu.
Stay physically fit. Exercise—supports
the immune system by increasing circula-
tion, oxygenating the body, purging toxins
through sweat, and releasing tension and stress.
So get moving!
Know when to get help. Swine flu can look
like regular flu, so don't feel like you necessarily
are infected if you're exhibiting flu-like symp-
toms. But do go to your doctor if you live in an
area where there are documented cases, or if
your symptoms are severe.
Keep it in perspective. Stress releases hor-
mones into our bodies that can compromise our
immune systems and actually make us more
susceptible to viruses like swine flu. So keep your
concern and vigilance over swine flu in perspec-
tive to keep it from taking over your mind and
body.
If you follow these steps, your immune
system will be ready to fight the infection. Info courtesy of :www.beliefnet.com

I ask for grace
enough to listen to
the tales of others’
pains. Help me en-
dure them with pa-
tience. Seal my lips
on my own aches
and pains – even
though they are
increasing, and my
love of rehearsing
them is becoming
sweeter as the
By. Unknown Author
Lord, you
know me bet-
ter than I know
myself. That I
am growing
older, and that
someday I will
be old.
Keep me from
getting talka-
tive, and from
the habit of
thinking that I
must say
something on eve-
ry occasion.
Release me from
the craving to
straighten out eve-
ryone’s affairs.
Keep my mind free
from the ritual of
endless details,
and give me wings
to get to the point.
years go by.
Teach me the glori-
ous lesson that it is
possible to be mis-
taken. Keep me
reasonably sweet. I
don’t want to be a
saint – some of
them are hard to
live with, but a sour
old person is one of
the crowning works
of the devil.
Make me thought-
ful, but not moody;
helpful, but not
bossy. But with my
vast store of wis-
dom, it seems a
pity not to use it all.
But you know, Lord, I
want a few friends at
the end.

V Feature Teacher: Meet Mrs. D. Hicks-Stewart
Interviewed by: Jerenisha Freeman
Jerenisha: What is it like being a history teacher at HHS?
Mrs. Hicks: I enjoy being a teacher here at HHS because the students
that I interact with on a daily basis are eager and willing to learn, and add
on more knowledge to what they already know.
Jerenisha: What is your philosophy on teaching?
Mrs. Hicks: My philosophy on teaching is the belief that every child
graduating from high school should be equipped with the basic infor-
mation needed to survive in the real world. This includes building
relationships with people, never giving up when things do not go the way
it is expected, never turning your back on people because you never
know when they are needed, as well as survival skills.
Jerenisha: Why did you decide to teach?
Mrs. Hicks: I decided to teach because I had always been told (from
church members, pastors, and mentors) that I have the gift of teaching.
Jerenisha: How do you encourage students to learn?
Mrs. Hicks: Encouraging students to learn is a hard job. The only thing I
tell them is how important it is to receive and education. Not all educa-
tion is free, so take advantage of what you do have right now.
Someone once said:
Homecoming means football,
festivities, and friendship.
October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds
came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and
Maples, And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band. ~George Cooper, "October's Party"
