WHAT’S INSIDE . . . . .

By Carlie Smith FFA members prepare to show skills at local competition

Please note: For sports, only district (and higher) competitions are listed. Please refer to the school website for full sports schedules.

Seniors and parents that need help with filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can attend “College Goal Sunday” this Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. at T. K. Gorman High School in Tyler. This event is free and available to the entire East Texas area. Families can register or get more information at finaid.tamu.edu/cgs.

Applying for scholarships is one of the most important ways that seniors prepare for college.

“I applied for the Gates Millennium Scholarship,” senior Khadeijah Ewins said. “It pays for everything while you are in college.”

Students can stop by the counselor’s office at any time to get information on local and

statewide scholarships, and to find out about programs that certain colleges might offer to help with financial costs.

“Getting scholarship applications from the drawer in the counselors office is the easy part,” senior Micah Almeida said. “Filling them out is another thing.”

Now that the second semester has started, seniors are really focused on what they want to do after they graduate.

“I want to major in Journalism,” senior Kimberly Ferguson said. “I want to create logos and ad campaigns.”

Students are looking at how far the college or university they want to go to is from their home. Some prefer close to home and

others want to be far from home. “I’m going to a four-year

university here in Texas,” Ferguson said. “I am going to Stephen F. Austin State University, which is 45 minutes away. It is close enough in case I need my parents, but far enough so I can have independence from them.”

Many students choose to visit several colleges before they make a choice as to where they want to go.

“I look for good class sizes in a college,” Ferguson said. “[I want] a nice campus.”

Some seniors look into colleges based on their interest and what that specific college offers.

“What I look for in a college is a great education,” Ewins said. “I need a great education to succeed in my work.”

FFA members will participate in the Panola Country Jr. Live-stock Show Feb. 22-24. Students have been preparing for this show since November.

“I have prepared my pig for the show by walking him around every other day” sophomore Dillon Husar said. “Feeding him and watering everyday is another way I have been preparing him.” Students get connected to their animal over the four months of raising them. They pick out their animal and name them by their choice.

“My pigs name is Mr. Bub-bles,” sophomore Jordan Bridges said. “Every time I water him he blows bubbles in his water, that’s why I named him that.”

FFA members have put a lot of effort into making their pig into the best looking, the fat-test, and the one with the most

muscle in hopes of winning most amount of money.

“With the money from sell-ing my pig, I will keep some of it to spend it on myself,” freshman Ashley Metcalf said. “Then the rest of the money will go [to-ward] college.”

For the show, pigs are required to be healthy and weigh between 195 and 275 pounds.

“My pig, Danaro, weighed 185 pounds at the beginning of January,” sophomore Cade Clin-ton said. “I hope for him to weigh around 250 pounds by the end of [the month].”

Students are practicing their skills so that they can place high in showmanship.

“Walking your pig in a ring, and steering him with a show stick is the way you [guide] your animal in the right direction ,” Metcalf said. “You have to keep

your animal between you and the judge at all times. Keeping your eyes on the judge is another important way to earn showmanship.”

Feature February 10, 20122

Years ago, they were just like us. Some were high school students; others were already in the work-force. In Nov. 1970, Judge William Wayne Justice de-manded the Texas Education Agency to integrate schools in the Supreme Court case United States vs. Texas and won. Then some of these students were required to attend different schools, while the other students had to adjust to calling these outsiders their classmates. Meanwhile, those working had to face new challenges at their jobs.

Freedom of Choice went into effect by 1965, allow-ing students to attend an-other school if they wished to do so. This is when many African-American students began to attend Carthage schools. Around the 1970-1971 school year, Carthage schools were completely integrated.

“When Freedom of Choice was proposed, people were

anxious because it was new and they were not sure how it would work,” counselor Paula Carter said. “Once it started, it went smoothly and the students in my class seemed to be accepted. Those that started with me at CHS stayed all four years and we are still friends.”

As a middle school stu-dent during integration, registrar Kathy Ingram was transferred from Turner Middle School, which she attended for six years, to Baker-Koonce.

“It was a scary situation for a sixth grader,” Ingram said. “Some teachers were in their old ways and some welcomed us. Kids would come to school and act out on what their parents taught them; for a while, there were fights left and right.”

Some faculty members, like Nurse Bonnie McMillan spent all of their educational years in segregated schools until college. When she was in the segregated environ-

ment of Panola College Nursing School, she earned respect and admiration from her once reserved class-mates through her work.

“All of my life, I was told that I was just as intelligent as those students in that class, but I was surprised to learn that it was true,” Mc-Millan said. “I faced some challenges when I was em-ployed at East Texas Medical Center Carthage during in-tegration. I could give medi-cine to a White patient and he would refuse, but if I gave the medicine to a White aide that knew nothing, he would accept it.”

Segregated tradition re-mained after integration. Some people responded to some environments as if the illegal segregation signs were still posted.

“During my first year at Nacogdoches, the bus sta-tion still had the partitions in 1970, although the signs had almost disappear over-night in 1964,” social studies

teacher Steve Garrett said. “In the 1980s, I went to a doctor’s office in Center and there were two entrances; the Blacks came through the right entrance and Whites came through the left. I thought that it was odd for the people to go through those entrances although there were no signs.”

Although we can learn some things about integra-tion from textbooks, there are more untold stories and wisdom that we can gain from those who experienced it themselves.

“Segregation certainly needed to happen, but it hurt in some ways,” Mc-Millan said. “Some African-Americans tended to get away from their roots. In some ways you need to remember where you have come from, so that you can find out where you are at.”

Faculty members remember integration experiences, knowledge gainedBy Brianna Morgan

Students discuss their relationships, Valentine’s Day preparation

Cuddled up on the couch, sharing a bowl of Orville popcorn, Ethan Gibbs and Rebecca Page watching a Red Box movie perfectly content with a date at home for the night. Valentine’s Day is com-ing soon many high school couples are unsure of how serious the day should be. “With Ethan we don’t have to always go out to a fancy place we can just stay home and be with each other,” sophomore Rebecca Page said. “He is down to earth and I can be myself around him.” Rather than getting cre-ative with their gifts some

couples choose to keep it safe with traditional tokens of affection. “Taylor Dunn and I have been dating for two years and one month,” sophomore Max Lockwood said. “I’m planning on getting her roses and a big teddy bear with some chocolate.” While some speculate on the longevity of high school relationships, there will always be couples who continue to break-up and make-up. “DeRontay and I have been dating since the 7th grade,” sophomore Keyaria Lewis said. “We’ve been on and off for 3 years.”

Whether it’s a day spent at the mall in Longview or cooking dinner together, it seems quality time is the best present couples can give one another. “My boyfriend and I went camping with each others family,” sophomore Taylor Dunn said. “It was one of the best dates I have been on.” Valentine’s Day is a day that lovers express their affection for one another by presenting them with gifts or spending time with one another. “Just being with Rebecca is a perfect Valentine’s Day for me,” senior Ethan Gibbs said. “As longs as I’m with my sweetheart.”

Ask BB!Dear Always Occupied, The bathroom is a place of many varieties of people. Students go there to get away from teachers and do their business. If you need to make an emergency call then all you have to do is run to the bathroom. It’s not exactly awkward. When you think about it, we’re all in there to take care of some kind of problem or take a break. My advice to you: If someone happens to be there when you walk in, just keep in mind that you’re not the only one feeling awkward.

Dear Sadly Scentless, I understand how you feel when you realize that you don’t smell good anymore. One tip, you could carry a smaller version of the cologne/perfume in your purse or backpack. If you don’t want to do that then you could always keep it in your locker and spray some in between classes or when you feel your scent is fading. I sent someone to ask Mr. Durham what type of cologne he wears and he said Abercrom-bie. They also asked how many times a day he sprays it on and he replied with, “Enough to keep people guessing how many times I put it on!” Which, I’m sure, isn’t the answer you were looking for but that’s what he said. I know that you have tried many types of cologne but don’t give up hope. There is always a scent out there for everyone!

Dear Dateless, Trytofindanexcusetogo talk to them. Sit next to them at lunch, bump into them in the hallway or spray some more perfume before you see him, like Sadly Scentless. If you do spray some perfume, don’t spray too much,youdon’twanttosuffo-cate him. If anything, talk about your classes or invite him to do something after school. Now, to get him to ask you to prom you need to start hanging out with him and drop slight hints that you want him to ask you. For ex-ample, ask him if he has a date to prom and if he’s going with any-one. Also hint that you don’t have a date. If anything, you could joke around about going together and he might use that opportunity to really ask you.

BB, I am tired of always walking into the bathrooms and encountering strange suspicious people. No matter when I go dur-ing the day...it seems like the bath-room is the place to be. People talk on the phone, chill in the stall, and write their thoughts on the walls...and who knows what else. I don’t understand what the fascination is with using the bath-room as a hangout spot? What should I do about this situation? -Always Occupied

Dearest BB, I have some investigating I need you to do. You see, I have a problem. I put on tons of cologne, yet it fades away by midday. I’ve tried Calvin Cline, Polo, Usher, and every body wash you could think of but none of them seem to last. However, we do have one teacher on campus who is a cologne con-noisseur. Could you ask Mr Dur-ham what his routine is to smell so scentful? Sincerely, Sadly Scentless

Hi BB, OK. Here’s the thing. I have a crush on this boy, but I have never got a chance to talk to him. I see him everyday in the hall and I don’t want to look like a stalker so I try my hardest not to stare. I got this idea to ask him to be my prom date, but I don’t want to ask while we are complete strangers. So, can you give me advice on how to start a small conversation? Also, how do you ask a boy to prom without having that awk-ward feeling? -Dateless

The soccer season is having a slow start. The boys team has only won one game because too many team members can’t play. Tonight the boys team will face Liberty Eylau at home. “Once we get our players back it will be a fair game,” junior Dominic Col-lins said. “We’ll have more of a chance to win.” Even though they haven’t won very many games, the team keeps their

confidence. “I know that we’ve tried hard to win every game,” sophmore Jose Irue-gas said. “So no matter if we win or lose, I’m happy.” The team hopes for more success in the future games. “We’llbebetteroffwhen more of our play-ers can play,” senior Danny Luna said, “we’ll get back on our feet and start winning again.”

The Pearl Necklace By Alex Braun

It was one of those things She kept locked in a hidden compartment in an antique box on a high shelf in the smallest bedroom in the back of the house. One of those shiny things strung on a cord, forever gleaming and lasting, made with earthen material over the years. It went with her Sunday best, and was only worn twice, its pieces sparkling for special occasions only. One of those things that is kept through the generations, passed down from mother to daughter kept hidden until they came of age. Your eyes can’t look away - for its beauty is incomprehensible.

Will You Remember Me? By: Amy Sells When we were young we went to state back to back, its on the gate. We ridiculed those who stood out, when the bullying hurt none was about. The cuts we made had run deep. We made those kids cry themselves to sleep. The kids held their heads down in the hall. As we walked with our heads so tall. When they leave this school will you know? They’ll remember you when they go! They will go on to do great things, unlike the common High School Prom Queen. Will you know when they come back, those you teased back to back to back?

His & Hers By: Amy Sells His skin is rough, not like a rose. Hers is soft, not like a stone. His heart is ice, everyone knows. Hers is warm, and when grown. His will melt Hers will freeze His had felt Hers with a breeze He will laugh She will cry He will hold her Until they die.

What does Valentines Day mean to you and why?

I guess Valentine’s Day is a special day for those who actually have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but for me I just like to take advantage of all the candy in the stores.

-Stephanie Spears

Valentine’s Day to me is a day of sharing candy and spending time with the person you love.

-Blake Bogenschutz

I think it’s sweet, but kind of silly. We should show our “other” how much we love them every single day, not one day out of the year. But it is kind of cute to see what he or she will get you!

-Nicole Holcomb

It’s a symbolism of love and to spend your time on who you think your life long spouse will be. We cel-ebrate this day to show that number one person that you really do care and if he/she loves you back. -Tai Chung

Exchanging presents with someone that you love dearly and truly.

-Ashton Robertson

It means spending time with the ones you love and the ones who mean the most to you. I feel this way because Valentine’s Day has always been shared with a boyfriend or with my family and friends.

-Shelby Soape

.I think it’s a time where boyfriends and girlfriends get each other some-thing special and share a special day with one another.

-Emily Proctor

It’s just another day of the week for me, because I do stuff that I usually do on any other day.

Upon their return from Christmas break, students be-came aware of the updated PDA (public display of affection) poli-cy. Physical contact between stu-dents is now limited to holding hands, but groping and extended hugging are prohibited. Although some students are grateful for the policy in general, defining hugging as a form of PDA seems a bit extreme.

The new policy should clarify the various forms of prohibited PDA because some students remain confused about the policy, especially in regard to hugs. These clarifications should not include quick, casual hugs.

Some people hug to greet friends. After the long Christmas and summer breaks, some stu-dents hug because they missed the friends that they were unable to see during the breaks. In this instance, a hug is just the way that some students say hello, while some of the teachers prefer to shake hands. Teachers hug former students because they are excited to see them and this is not considered PDA.

Hugs communicate some emotions that are difficult to express in words. Everybody is not great at expressing their sympathies when a relative of a classmate dies. It is better for students that lack great verbal

communication skills to remain silent during those times. Instead of speaking their condolences, they should give their classmate a hug because it can work the same way as a few encouraging words. That is much better than saying something that causes a grieving classmate feel worse.

Some administrators believe that students should not hug because it may promote in-appropriate behaviors, but this is a wrong assumption. Sometimes a hug can be more helpful to students and there are times that students may need them. During the spring semester, some classes have more hectic work. Also dur-ing this season, more students are involved with extracurricular activities. It is easy for a student to become overwhelmed with assignments. A hug from a class-mate or even the entire class can remove that student’s focus from stress to relaxation, so that the work will be complete by the time that it is due.

Administrators should not define casual hugs as PDA. Stu-dents should be allowed to hug each other for a brief amount of time (only a few seconds). However, administrators should punish students whose hugs expand into actions that can only be defined as excessive PDA.

“You need to eat your break-fast.” “That’s enough soda,” “Please eat some real food.”

February is national Heart Health Awareness month. If you’re a typical teenager whose parents always nag you about what, when, and how you eat, these comments probably are familiar to you. Quit giving them such a hard time. They are only looking out for your health and well being.

Most of the junk food you eat is causing severe problems for you in your later life. Foods high in cholesterol, saturated fats, and salt, such as fried chick-en, hamburgers, and pizza, are dangerous to your heart health. Heart disease kills more people a year than all of the cancers com-bined.

There are many ways to endanger your heart health. Eating junk food, going on roller coaster diets, and not eating enough are the ones that affect most teenagers.

People who are under-nourished in their childhood and adolescence have a higher risk of heart disease. A “natural experiment” in history taught us that women who were “severely exposed” to famine, during the

Dutch Famine, had a 27 percent higher risk for heart disease than those who had been unexposed.

Some risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, not getting much physical activity, smoking, and heredity. You can prevent heart disease by using the Food Guide Pyramid, eating more low fat foods, eating lean cuts of meat, and getting at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.

In conclusion, we can control what we eat and what we do, therefore we can control our heart health.
