CHS can build on the Bison Foundation

It is a known fact thatbudgets have been cutfor many school districts,

but fortunately for the Carl-isle Area School District, helpmay be on the way, thanksto the Bison Foundation.

e Bison Foundation hasbeen dormant since the early 2000s, but has now embarkedon a year-long campaign taking place strictly to make money tobenet the students, sta andcommunity in the Carlisle Area School District. e dormancy of the foundation was due to itsinitial focus on the Careers andTechnology part of the school.

In 2012, CASD Superinten-dent John W. Friend decided tomake it available to the wholeschool district. To determine if the year-long campaign should

take place, a 20 question sur-vey was created and sent out to550 area residents. e survey’squestions asked if residents

were pleased with the district

programs and also how muchthey might consider donating.

e response of the survey sent the campaign into action.e goal of the Bison Foun-dation is to raise 1.5 milliondollars; so far the foundationhas raised a total of $329,000.

Friend said, “I believe the goal will be reached because it’s re-

ally starting to get CHS alumniinvolved, and the alumni know the state funding has been cut.”

Although still striving toreach its goal, the Bison Foun-dation will benet the schooldistrict with any amountof money it may receive.

Carlisle High School’s 10thgrade principal Mike Black said, “e Bison Foundation

is a major endeavor becauit will help fund programfor students and also hestrengthen the community

School policy changes use of technology ¡ ! " # ¤ ¨ £ $ " % ¢ & # ¡

This summer, the return-ing students of CHS

were in for a shock.In the years prior, CHS stu-

dents were asked not to bring electronic devices or keep themturned o until the end of theday. Now, the new Bring YourOwn Device (BYOD) policy,along with the 1 to 1 Learn-ing Device Program, is ex-panding the incorporation of technology in the classroom.

BYOD was piloted last year with six teachers and dueto success, it has been putinto action this school year.e new policy allows stu-dents to bring most typesof electronic devices to

school for educational use.

e 1 to 1 Learning DeviceProgram is a program in whicheventually every student willreceive a laptop for educationalpurposes and school use. egoals for the 1 to 1 Learning De-vice Program and BYOD are tohelp students use electronic de-vices for more than social inter-actions and help further preparestudents and teachers to thor-oughly incorporate the use of technology into the classroom.

ough both programs arerelatively new, several prob-

lems have become evident,including slow internet ac-cess. Despite CHS expand-ing their broadband capac-ity, the servers are still slow.

Another problem with bothprograms is the fact that not

all students have access to the

internet at home. Luckily, fa-cilities such as Bosler Library and Amelia-Given Library areavailable to provide internetaccess to those who need it.In addition, Comcast is oer-ing internet access to students

who qualify for free or re-duced lunch for $9.99 a month

Due to cost limitations, the1 to 1 Learning Device Pro-gram was only extended tothe ninth graders this year.But why ninth grade?

According to Stephanie G.

Douglas, CASD Director of Digital Learning and Technol-ogy, “Ninth graders are morelikely to have a complete class-room of students in the samegrade level; giving us a com-plete classroom of students

with laptops for teachers tomake in-class assignments.”Some of the positives of BYOD

and 1 to 1 Learning Device Pro-gram include making schooleasier for students and teachers.

Freshman Mckenzie Failorsaid one positive of the 1 to 1

Learning Device Program isthat “you don’t have to carry textbooks around,” due to theability to use online textbooks.

CHS teachers also ben-et from BYOD and 1 to 1.

According to English teacher

Ellie Park, 1 to 1 helps by “evning the playing eld to somdegree--students who didnhave a laptop now have one

BYOL: Bring your own lunch?

Lunchtime is changing dramatically at CHS.e cafeterias are tight-

ening meal requirements andfor many, school meals arebecoming more expensive.

Last year, although stu-dents took almost double theminimum required portion,the cafeteria’s fruit and veg-etable requirements “resultedin a lot of fruit and vegetablestossed into trash cans,” saidsophomore Anna Lippert.

is year, CHS has goneeven further in making school lunches healthier.

With making soup and friesa la carte items, the schoolangered many students. How-ever, the reasons behind these

changes are not due to schoolpolicy but rather federal law.

e Healthy Hunger-FreeKids Act requires schools to in-clude at least three out of vemain components in cafeteria lunches. Students may choosefrom milk, grains, meat/meatalternative, fruit, and veg-etables. Fruits or vegetablesare required components.

Oering fries as part of a mealmeans the lunch would be “overin our vegetable [component]and over in calories,” said FoodServices director Kelly Renard.

Many soups also pose a prob-lem because they provide par-tial components but not entireones, making it simpler forthem to become a la carte items.

“e school lunch pricesfor students only increasedby $.10 so there hasn’t been

a dramatic increase,” Renardsaid. “Some of the a la carteprices actually decreased.”

However,s t u d e n t sare used toi n c l u d i n g items thatare now a la carte asregular mealitems—andthis has ledto somecomplaintsabout rising meal costs.

“ey’retrying tomake the lunches healthier,but they’re just making peoplemad; they should keep thingsthe way they were before,”said senior Makenzie Langer.

Health Care Academy helps students make healthy career choices' ( ' ( 0 1 1 0 ( 7 8

@ A B C I F G A I

Due to increased in-terests in health re-lated careers, Carlisle

High School has started a new Health Careers Academy thisyear that, according to Dr.Michele Orner, director of Ca-reers and Technology at CHS,is exceeding expectations.

e Health Careers Academy was created to accommodatethe students in nding post-secondary job opportunities. In2010, an internship was in placeonly for seniors. It was decidedquickly after that by adminis-tration that the school district

would have to create something

bigger because of the amountof interest in health careers.

With the help of SadlerHealth, the Rotary Club,Harrisburg Area Commu-nity College (HACC), Car-lisle Regional Medical Cen-ter, the Carlisle Health and

Wellness Foundation and the

help of other organizations,the program has been createdand able to be used properly.

Orner said, “It’s beyondthe district’s expectations. Wehad enough student inter-est in the rst year to needa full-time teacher, in addi-tion to the Certied Nurs-ing Assistant students and thepartnership we established

with HACC to teach CNA classes at the high school.”

ere are many jobs in healthrelated careers that can of-fer students a good wage aftergraduation from high school,

which makes the program evenmore important. is is bene-cial to students for many yearsafter they take these classes.

According to Renard, nextschool year will bring evenmore changes to food regula-

tions. ey will aectfundraising,a la cartesales, vend-ing sales,and partiesduring theschool day.

“As far asa la carte

we are sell-ing what

we can thisyear becausenext year

we may not be allowed tosell the same items,” she said.

Renard said she had no specif-ic details available to her aboutnext year’s mandated changes.

When asked if the program will be helpful, senior ShaniceCampbell, who is enrolled inthe program, said, “Knowing exactly what medical eldsare out there will help medecide what I really want todo with the rest of my life.”

Along with interest fromparents and students, teach-ers are also excited to seethis change occurring.

Biology teacher CherylHolquist said, “e HealthCareers Academy will givestudents an opportunity toexplore possible career op-tions in the health care eldbeyond the typical doctor/nurse picture. is is a grow-ing eld in job opportunities.”

This past Septem-ber, CHS seniorMichaela Coplen

was appointed one of veNational Student Poets.rough this honor, she wasgiven the opportunity to meetFirst Lady Michelle Obama in Washington D.C. and isnow the literary ambassa-dor to the Northeast Region.

“I am available and hap-py to talk to anyone aboutpoetry or to workshop po-

etry with [anyone],” saidCoplen. “at’s my job!”Last year, she submitted three

poems to Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Out of over10,000 other entries, hers waschosen as one of 40 semi-nal-

ists, upon which she submit-ted three more poems and be-

came a National Student Poet.“I think it was well deserved,”

said Coplen’s former Englishteacher, SarahClayville, of the honor.

“Her poetry represents a real diversity of interests,”she continued,saying thatthis added“texture anddimension” to Coplen’s work

and helped to “propel herthrough” the selection process.Her father, Rick Coplen, is

also excited for his daughter.“I am exceptionally proud

of Michaela’s lifetime of ac-complishments, and I’m look-

ing forward to seeing how thistakes her in the future,” he said.

e Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are open once again,and any student can submit

poetry to beconsidered fornext year’s Na-tional StudentPoet Program.

“I think thatpoetry has les-sons to teach allof us,” Coplensaid. “[It] is a mental chal-

lenge, whether you’re reading

it, writing it, or hearing it.”e award is the highest honorin the nation for young poets.

To read Coplen’s poetry,ollow the link found onthe online version of this ar-ticle at www.chsperiscope.com.

Thirteen years—that’sthe amount of timethat most people have

to spend in school before they graduate. In addition to main-taining good grades and atten-dance, at CHS students mustcomplete a graduation project.

Graduation projects area requirement in the Com-monwealth of Pennsylvania,and students that wish tograduate must complete them.Graduation projects have a pur-

pose; they’re not there to make a student’s busy, hectic life harder.

According to the Gradu-ation project overview, thepurpose of the graduationproject is “for students to dem-

onstrate they are able to apply,analyze, synthesize and evalu-ate information and to com-municate signicant knowl-edge and understanding.”

At CHS, students are as-signed the graduation proj-ect during their junior yearinstead of their senior year.

11th grade principal, Dr. LesliShuman, said, “A lot of stu-

dents do the community servicehours that concede with Civics. We also oer it during junior

year in case the student does notcomplete it; they have anothershot as a senior,” said Shuman.

e graduation project ishere to help students show thatthey understand everything they have learned over thecourse of their school career.

e good news is that there

is a long list of graduation proj-ect topics to choose from, someconsidered easier to completethan others. For example, if a student chooses the chemistry laboratory portfolio, all he/shehas to do is save all of their labreports from the school yearand keep them in a notebook to give to their teacher on the

due date of the project. Formore examples, refer to thegraduation project overview.

What happens if a studentdoesn’t complete his/her proj-ect during his/her junior year?e Graduation Handbook saidthe student can either, “elect totake the summer school coursebetween their junior/senior

years in order to complete a rsearch paper or elect to subma graduation project from tapproved list of projects in tappropriate 12th grade course

ere are signicantly leoptions for students wdon’t complete their proect in their junior year. Mostudents complete their proect during their junior ye

when they have more optionough some people mnot think it’s fair to have tgraduation project be a rquirement, senior John Moton, who just moved to Carlithis year, said he had a gradation project at his last schoand that it is a “reasonablexpectation for CHS studen

e project paperwork mube submitted by April.

According to e WeedBlog, a website devoted to thelegalization of marijuana, theprices of marijuana are lower

when legalized. Meaning,people are realizing heroin,acid, etc. are not going toget less expensive. So, a lotof people feel that if the U.S

were to legalize marijuana,then nobody would have theneed to want stronger drugs.ere would be less chaoshere, according to this theory.

Let’s be honest, most peoplein Carlisle who sell these drugsaren’t reliable because all they

want is their money. ey couldn’t care less if they werepart of others’ death or injuries.Drug dealers sell beginners fakedrugs just to get money out of it .

e sad part about this is a lot of teenagers are growing up

with parents who have the useof drugs taken over the limit.

“Even adults today,they take prescriptionsto their own advantage,”said Dr. Lesli Shuman,

is past summer, thetelevision series “Glee” lost a member from their show. ActorCory Monteith, was found ina hotel room dead from a drug overdose, not realizing onemore drug would be his last.

According to the website,

Unasked, up to 2 millionpeople die per year of anoverdose. Teenagers get peerpressured constantly andtheir access to a wide variety of illegal substances increases.

When life’s scary enough,people take dangerous drugs,not realizing how it can aectthem and others around them

e McGowan nurse, DianeLello, explains that, “Young people need to realize that theirrst time they experiment witha drug might be their last.”

In countries wheremarijuana is legalized, thereis known to be less chaos.

the 11th grade principal. Adults are always making their

appointments earlier than it’ssupposed to be, just so they canget their next dose of medicine.In other words, adults taketheir medicine and take morethan the dose they were told totake daily. Doctors are cluelessto these situations and believethe stories of the adults whoare slowly killing themselvesevery day. Doctors shouldbe stricter with these dates,and not let them postponebecause otherwise, they’re justtelling the patient it’s okay tokeep on relieving their pain.

So many people think it won’t happen to them, andthey won’t be the one facing hospital time with the rst useof the drug of choice. Peoplelike Monteith die every day.Being cool isn’t worth waking up and not knowing where youare, or wasting so much money

just to get people to recognizeyou. Teenagers love to haveexperiences, just like babies

have to touch everything they lay their eyes on. At this age,

we know right from wrong.Swartz nurse, Mrs. Spangler,

wants everybody to know that“THERE’S ALWAYS HELP.”

Don’t be in that jail cell whenyou nally realize you need tochange. If you know somebody

who needs help, don’t waituntil it’s too late. Drugs aretaking over our generation.

What are you going to do tohelp stop it? Because the nextgeneration is possibly going tobe worse; when we’re reading books o of our iPhone 12’s,another 6 million are going to die a month, a needlessact that could have beenprevented if we just stepped up.

Yet athletes are included ingym when they do “gymclass” every day after school.ey’re already overachievers;I feel they should have a choice between taking gymclass and having a study hall. According to the gym teachers,the purpose of gym class is toget part of the 60 minutes a day into action. Athletes work out for more than 3 hoursafter school and weekends.

ê ë ç æ ì â ç í î

The pressure is on forguys at CHS! With theHomecoming dance

coming up there’s only somuch time to ask the perfectperson, in the perfect way.

Almost anyone who’s been

around school lately hasseen large banners, or otherextravagant proposals. Eventhough there’s the chanceof getting to dance withyour choice of a girl, boysare put under a lot of stress

when it comes to asking

a girl to Homecoming. What concerns guys is

rejection. It’s hard to face theidea that the person you want

wouldn’t feel the same way.Being rejected could denitely hurt the heart and the ego.

“I think I would vomit if Iasked a girl, and she said no tome,” said junior Brian Brown.

As many guys are turning

to fancier and more public ways of asking someoneto the dance, being turneddown could hit even harder.

Another big worry to face isgathering the courage in therst place. Getting up the nerveto ask someone out to the

dance, especially in the face of rejection or even being outrightlaughed at must be hard.

“Every time I want to go upto my friend and ask him tohomecoming, I get butteriesin my stomach,” admitted CHSstudent Gannon Donnelly.

Especially with the socialstigma around guys having toask the girl, and not the other

way around, students are putunder a lot of pressure when itcomes time for a big event likeHomecoming. ere’s worry in nding the right way to ask,if a large public invitation, or

just pulling them to the sidequietly is the right way to go.

Some girls even end upexpecting a big deal made of it!Guys have to fret over asking right, deal with gathering thenerve to ask in the rst place, and

Showing you like somebody is cute when the both of youtrade notes or maybe evenexchange a peck on the cheek.Holding hands and friendly

hugs are enough aectionto show people walking down the hallways in CHS.

Certain PDA is very unnecessary. CHS actually givesout punishments and a walk to

the o ce for showing too much.School is for learning and

showing your individuality with your clothes and dierenttechniques through writing and drawing. Walking intothe room you chose for yourelectives this year provesyou’re a dierent person thanothers are already. So, why

would you want to show everybody a side where they

would think badly of you?Most teenagers are peer

pressured during relationshipsand that’s why they feel theneed to show their aections.Couples should realize that they don’t need to put their personalaections out there just to show the world they are together.

Put the word out instead,or hold hands everywhereyou go. If a couple can’tcontrol themselves in school,

that’s pretty bad becauseeveryone will see that andthink badly of those twopeople. It could change

someone’s whole opinion ona person or a couple just forshowing personal aections.

Also, whenever you andyour boyfriend/girlfriend areshowing your aections in thehallway, there’s always going to be that one person whofeels awkward walking pastthe two of you. Nobody needsto feel badly about him orherself just because you wantto do inappropriate thingsin the public halls of CHS.

Make plans with him or her

after school to be aectionate. Avoid doing it in front of people at CHS because allyou’re doing is getting a bad name and weird looks.

Sure, you may really be in the

moment when you’re walking with your boo. But no teacheror peer of yours wants to seea part of you that is nowhereclose to school appropriate.If you’re uncomfortable

2013 Homecoming: Simple ways to save on your style

W ith the Home-coming dance justaround the corner,

CHS females may struggleto dig up dresses that t theirstyle and budget. With a tonof stores spread throughoutCarlisle, nding the perfectdress takes a bit of searching. Amanda Padilla, a sopho-

more said, “I usually shop formy formal dresses at Macy’s.”

Although stores such asMacy’s oer a great selection,prices may get in the way.

Stores such as TJ Maxx, Debbsand Boscov’s oer great dealsyear round that can t every budget. At Ross, a multitudeof racks covered in dresses thatrange from $10.99 to $29.99can help anyone nd a dress

without breaking the bank.While price matters, so

do style and color. Find-ing a dress that accentuates

the body and catches eyesin a positive way is impor-tant when going to a dance.

“Warm, rich colors likeburgundy and dark blue arereally in right now,” Me-

gan Habeck, senior, said.Saving money on dressesthis season means extra cashto spend on accessories. Storeslike Ross, Forever21, andCharlotte Russe oer greatdeals on jewelry and shoes.Studs, sparkles and animalprint are popular among shoe styles this past year andcan add air to any dress.

Junior, Olivia Patter-son said when looking forshoes, “I look for height.”

Adding a cute pair of heels

can give any girl that supermodel height and help themcomplete their outt. As for

jewelry, simple is the best way to go. When wearing a ashy dress, don’t overdothe look by over accessoriz-

ing, that way the overalloutt is more sophisticated.

Finding the perfect style andt is a trial and error process.

When it comes to uncovering homecoming dresses, don’tbe afraid to take risks. e

dress that you thought wouldnever look attering might

actually be the perfect choice.

“ Warm, rich colors like burgundy and dark blue are really in right now.”

Carlisle varsity cheer-leaders spread Bisonspirit by lling the

Yet a new concern has occupiedthem: dress code requirements.

In addition to the uniformbasics of colorful, bodylines,

tank top shell and skirt, thecheerleaders are also requiredto wear black leggings when

wearing the uniforms to school.Based upon the admin-

istrators, the leggings arelooked at as a positive.

According to Julie Brent, thecheerleading coach, “e prin-cipals asked if [the cheerlead-ers] could wear leggings underthe skirts as a compromise.

e majority of the skirts

do match the dress code re-quirements, but there aresome exceptions becausesome girls have longer legs.

e cheerleaders have

strong feelings about the way they are permitted to dress.

“I feel we have earneda right to wear the uni-forms without leggings,” se-

nior Makenzie Langer said.“Most are nger tip length

anyway, plus it’s a school uni-form and we should be ableto wear them in school.”

Beauty pageants banned in France: Is sexualization the main issue?

W ith shows such as“Toddlers & Tiaras”setting stereotypes

on beauty pageants worldwide,there is no question why Francehas decided to ban pageants forparticipants under 16 years old.

After a congressional voteof 197- 146, France bannedbeauty pageants in hopesof stopping girls from be-ing sexualized at an early ageand to create a movement to-

ward better woman’s rights. Anyone in France who deesthis law and enters their childinto a beauty pageant could

face up to two years in prisonand will be forced to hand over30,000 euros ($40,764) in nes.Beauty pageants originated inthe 1960’s, as a fun way forchildren and young adults tomeet new people while dress-ing up and showing o theirtalents. Today, these con-tests have turned their fo-cus to physical appearance.

We should stop trying to en-hance young girl’s looks with

hair extension, pounds of makeup, high heels and provoc-ative clothing and start concen-trating on natural beauty. Girlsshould not be transformed intoBarbie dolls in order to bring home trophies and medals.

Young girls around the worldare internalizing society’s ex-pectation for their appearance.ey see models, televisionshows and magazines wheregirls are placed front and cen-ter because of their appearanceand believe they must look like

this in order to be accepted.Contestants entered into thepageants nd the need to con-centrate more heavily on theirbodies and physical appear-ance because they are pres-sured to look a certain way.In reality, we should be con-

Trends change season-ally, and the time hascome to put away sum-

mer clothing. In just a month, warm weather will be nonexis-tent, so to dress appropriately,here are stylish substitutes.

An excellent componentto keep the feet warm, boots

are popular for fall weather. Whether combat or Uggs,boots come in all sorts of colors and sleek styles tohelp eliminate freezing toes.

Boots that won’t break thebank seem hard to nd, butthey are out there. Shops like

Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, andRoss have reasonable prices thatpave the way to buying moreoutts. Not only do boots helpfend o harsh winds but socksdo as well. Fuzzy socks are the

way to go for any event, espe-

cially when it is time to relax.Dierent colors and patterns

make it di cult to choose justone pair. Pink socks with bluesmiley faces and black socks with

white cats can be found at any store like Target and Old Navy.

It’s safe to say that sweatersare the most comfortable topsto wear as fall approaches. Long sleeved, short sleeved, oversized,or form tting, fuzzy sweatersare appropriate indoors and out.

rift shops like Community Aide carry sweaters that vary

from ve to ten dollars. Withcolor coordinated racks andendless amount of clothes, thethrift shop is a distinguishedplace to nd what is needed.

If it is still hard to com-

mit to the new season, smock dresses will become anyone’sbest friend. e fun, draping dress makes it easy to wear

with jackets, boots, or sweaters.Don’t worry guys: there

are substitutes for you, too.Long sleeved shirts with vestsare what any boy needs tokeep those arms from becom-ing numb. Much like girls,

shorts will need to be retired.Try jeans, khakis, or sweat-pants to protect the legs.

One soft and necessary ac-

cessory that is beloved by guysand girls alike is a scarf. Notonly are scarves used to keepthe neck from catching frost,but it ties together any out-t, taking it from ordinary tofancy with one simple wrap. As everyone gets ready for fall,

just remember it is not as bad asit seems. e new season trends

will easily become favored for

both gender and age groups.Fall is a chilly time, but do not

let it wreck the new chic look .

October 2013

Believe it or not, the holi-days are right aroundthe corner. Every year

the holiday season brings ev-eryone together, helping us putaside our dierences and be

joyful, but it also brings a lot of new videogames to the market.

In the same way that mov-ies dominate the summer, vid-eogames own the fall season.Usually, the games that arereleased during the fall are thebest of the best. Two gamesreleased last fall, “Borderlands2” and “Far Cry 3,” are consid-ered by many to be some of thegreatest games this generation.

As usual, this fall will bring many new games; however, this

year, it also brings new ways toexperience them.

In Nov, the PlayStation 4 and

Xbox One will be released (Nov 15 and Nov 22, respectively) tothe joy of millions of gamershoping to experience the futureof gaming. Both consoles in-clude many new features, along

with a massive increase in pow-er in order to deliver the bestgaming experience possible.e Playstation 4 and XboxOne also feature special ways tointeract with the games, withthe DualShock 4 for Playsta-tion 4 and the Kinect for XboxOne.

e DualShock 4 is an aver-age looking controller, but un-like the Xbox One controller,it features a built-in touchpad.is touchpad can be used by developers to add features that

can’t be done on other con-soles, like having the ability toquickly scroll through an in-

ventory and select an item. etouchpad is also clickable, likethe buttons on a mouse. eupdated controller will alsofeature motion control like theDualShock 3.

e Xbox One also featuresvery advanced ways of con-trolling your game, throughthe use of the all new Kinect.

An evolution of the Kinect for Xbox 360, this new version ismuch more advanced than itspredecessor. It has the ability measure the human body in

3D space, which can be usedfor nearly any game. It also hasthe ability to recognize a playerand sign them in automatically

when they walk in the room.e Xbox One controller is

more advanced now as well. While very similar to the Xbox360 controller aesthetically, it

is much dierent on the inside.One of its most notable fea-tures is its “Impulse Triggers.”ese new triggers have hapticfeedback. What this means forgames is that these triggers cannow actually adapt to game-play. For example, in a racing game the triggers can react tothe car’s movements. If thecar stalls, the right trigger canvibrate and make you feel thecar. e creators are calling thisenhanced vibration “High-Denition Vibration.”

e students of CHS are very excited for the new consoles.

Junior Celeste Fenon said thatshe believes the Xbox One willbe “more e cient than the

Xbox 360.” She is also “excited

for the new controller” and blieves “it will make the gamiexperience so much better.”

Geo Haut, junior, said thhe is excited for the new XbOne controller. “It’s supposto be more comfortable ththe Xbox 360 controller, athat is awesome, ” said Haut

James Coutts, senior, sathat he is more excited for tPlayStation 4 due to “its spelooking better” and he believthat the DualShock 4 will “pa new spin on things with integrated touch pad.”

Andrew Lopez, junior, sathat he will be buying the Pla

Station 4 because “it is cheapthan the Xbox One and tcontroller looks s ick.”

No matter which console ypurchase, one thing is certaiIt’s a great time to be a gamer

Readers should fawn over ‘Fangirl’

R ainbow Rowell is back

with a vengeance. Hernewest novel, “Fangirl,”

hit the shelves on September10th and is better than ever.

e novel is about an intro-verted college student, Cath,

who is a social outcast. Set ina Nebraskan university, Cathstruggles to make friends andher Fiction Writing class is hergreatest challenge. She andher professor often clash overCath’s growing obsession withfan ction. She has a twin sis-ter, Wren, who is the completeopposite of her: pretty, endear-ing, and popular. She spendsher evenings writing fan ctionabout her favorite book seriesinstead of going to parties orsocializing. e fan ction

acts as a recurring motif in thenovel: it precedes each chapter,and provides insight on thecharacters. One of Rowell’sstrengths is character develop-ment. e characters are de-scribed intricately, and the fanction channels Cath’s feelings.

Another highlight to thenovel is Cath’s roommate, Rea-gan. Reagan is a catty friend of Cath’s who is a strong womanin spite of her loose morals.Reagan spends too much of her time partying or focusing

on guys. Essentially, Reagan isCath’s foil: she convinces Cathto be more outgoing, and tofall for the guy of her dreams.

Levi is Reagan’s ex, whichbrews some of the story’sconict. Structurally speak-

ing, “Fangirl” is breathtak-ingly original, and readers

will constantly ask, “WillCath and Levi get together?”

Rowell’s writing style is very unique. e premise of “Fan-girl” is original and servesas an outlook on the grow-ing popularity of fan ction.

“I think [Fangirl] taps intosociety’s fascination with fanculture,” said Sarah Clay-ville, junior English teacher.

According to Goodreads.com,

the novel has scored a 4.4 out of 5 stars. is is a remarkably highrating, and various readers havepraised Rowell’s storytelling.

is is not the rst time thatRainbow Rowell’s novels havebeen critically acclaimed. In

March 2013, the New York Times published a review onher second novel, “Eleanor &Park,” her rst novel in the

Young Adult genre, a New York Times bestseller, giving it criti-cal praise. “Eleanor & Park re-minded me not just what it’s liketo be young and in love with a girl, but also what it’s like to beyoung and in love with a book,”praised author John Green inhis New York Times review.

“Fangirl” is no dierent.

e novel plays with the roleof fan ction in today’s soci-ety, and it is an atypical lovestory. e characters are ar-ticulately described, the set-ting is strengthened with im-agery, and the love is intense.

It is hard to believe that to-day’s iPhones have nearly 100 times the computing

shape. He races in triathlons, which are endurance eventsthat consist of swimming, bik-ing, and running, in that order.

He competed in Sprint Dis-

tance National ChampionshipTriathlon, consisting of a 750meter swim, 20 kilometer bikeride, and a 5 kilometer runand qualied for the WorldChampionships by nishing in the top 25 in his group.

DeAngelo commented on hisqualication for the race say-ing, “It felt awesome to know that I was one of the best inmy age group for the nation.My favorite part of the race

was the biking portion, and I’dmuch rather go on a long bike

ride rather than a long run.”e world championship

race was hosted in Londonand it consisted of many run-

ners from around the world.DeAngelo said the tri-

athlon was “really cold andrainy but it was so fun rac-ing with so many peoplefrom dierent countries.”

Overall, Sam placed41 and he was the fthrunner from the USA.

Jason Gri th, SophomoreEnglish teacher and also swimcoach, has seen how Samhas improved over the pastfew years in order to get bet-ter for triathlon. He said, “A lot of triathlon participantsare weak swimmers, so be-ing on the swim team hashelped him become betterthen his competition. Samis a multi-sport student ath-lete, so his time managementskills have become very sharp.”

In regards to the future,Gri th believes DeAn-gelo “will stick with triath-lons with the possibility of going pro at some point.”

Joe DeAngelo, Sam’s brother,

trained with Sam this summerand also competes in triath-lons. He said “Sam is a greattraining partner, especially onthe bike. When out on theroad for two to three hours, itis always great to be with a rideras good as Sam. Being able torace with Sam allows me to

Football team looks to rebuild through 2013 season

The 2013 football sea-son didn’t start asthe team had hoped.

e young team hopes to grow with experience, to nd thestrength to con-tinue improving this season, andto think ahead

to next year.Junior quarter-back and co-cap-tain, Billy Burg-er, encourageshis teammates“to keep working hard and goodthings will eventually happen.”

is season senior Bamasa Bailor and junior DeonteRamsey moved from wide re-ceivers to running backs, whichHead Coach Josh Oswalt con-siders as the team’s “best move.”

e players spent a lot of time in the o season weightlifting, running drills, and

spending time together as a team. Underclassmen MarcusReese, Jimmy Steele, JacobClegg, Grant Shugart, andZion Patterson have steppedup to ll in holes due to inju-ries suered by upperclassmen.

Alumni, dedi-cated fan, andformer Carlislefootball quar-

terback, MikeKnox, notesfrom his experi-ences that thisteam has “young players gain-ing experience”

which in a year ortwo will “make them more com-petitive in a tough conference.”e team feels that fan sup-port is important to the team.

As Bailor said, “[e fans]are great. It’s always greatto know that you have the

backing up of the fans andthey can really change theoutcome of the game.”

Looking ahead to the endof the season and next year,Coach Oswalt believes “If [theplayers] play our [style] of football they will win games.”

Coach Bill Owens notes thatthe team needs to “limit turn-overs” and make the “key playsat crucial times in the game.”

With eight seniors leav-ing this year and a remaining

forty-one players, the teamfeels it needs to step up andhave a positive attitude ev-eryday on and o the eld.

e Herd will have to counton “good full weeks of prac-tices and having both oenseand defense show up ready to play the way we can onFriday nights,” said Burger.

If they come ready to play,fans will continue to cheeras the team grows and be-comes stronger year to year.
