History of Halloween By: Kimber Lee
The beloved holiday of candy and costumes wasn’t always about cavities and favorite charac-
ters. Halloween is basically a shortened version of ‘All Hallows Eve’ which takes place the
evening of ‘All Hallows Day’ [November 1]. Go figure, right? All Hallows Day was a day of
festivities, feasts, honoring the dead, and scaring away death. On All Hallows Eve, folks
would set carved pumpkins in front of their door, so when death came to claim the home
owners, it would be frightened of their jack-o-lanterns and leave them alone.
The tradition of trick-or-treating comes from Ye Olde England. The British had their
own version of All Hallows Eve, called ‘All Souls Day’. On All Souls Day, there was a
‘parade’ of poor/homeless people who would go from door to door begging for food. Fami-
lies would give the poor folks a rice patty type pastry called ‘Soul Cakes’, but only if the
poor family would pray for the deceased loved ones of their benefactor.
Dressing up in costumes wasn’t always a fashion show. On All Hallows Eve people could-
n’t just stay inside hoping that their jack-o-lanterns scared away death, so when they had to
leave their homes, they would wear a mask so that if they ran into death, it wouldn’t recog-
nize them.
In early Halloween history, there was a big emphasis on marriage. People believed that if
they peeled and apple and threw the apple peels over their left shoulder, the peels would
land in the shape a the first initial of their future spouse. There were many other customs
that the single people of appropriate age [girls, mostly] would perform to try and find their
future spouse.

Looking for Halloween
costume ideas? Look no
further. A consumer
report has estimated
that the country will
spend 2.5 Billion on
costumes this year.
However, there is no
need to spend money.
Here are some inexpen-
sive ideas for a phenom-
enal Halloween cos-
tume. “The Bed Bug” -
Leave your PJs on and
use a headband to make
antennas. “The Ceiling
Fan” Make some small
flags out of paper that say “Go Ceiling.” “The Nerd” - Wear a
plaid shirt tucked into your best looking floods with some
glasses and a couple pens in your pocket. “Facebook” - Wear
white and blue, and paint “book” on your face. “Life” - Paint
the word “life” on your shirt and have a basket of lemons
that you give to people. Some people already have good ideas.

The Corn Maze Too old to Trick-or-Treat
Do you, students of Hurricane High School, feel you are too
old to Trick-Or-Treat? If so, here are some other activities
you can do to keep your Halloween fun and exciting. If you
like dark and scary, you could go to the haunted corn maze in
Washington or even a haunted house. If that doesn’t sound
like fun, you could go see a scary movie like “Paranormal
Activity: the Ghost Dimension,” “Insidious Chapter 3,” or
“The Visit.” Another thing that is always fun, is going to a
party. Matthew Arscott. a senior here at Hurricane high
said, “I will be spending my Halloween crashing a dope par-
ty.” There are many parties going on in St. George, including
one right out of St. George past the Gorge, starting at
8:00pm. If you don’t like being
scared or going to parties, another
option could be to just hang out
with friends and have a good time.
I am sure all of these would make
your Halloween one to remember.
Make sure to have a fun and safe
Halloween.

Each year, Staheli Family Farm puts on a grand
festival. Every October through Halloween, they
recreate a Halloween filled environment. The ac-
tivities include a corn maze, a petting Zoo,
swings, a mini theater, and other activities for
family and friends. The corn maze is one of the
main attractions. Known as, "The Field of
Screams" it is only for ages 12 and up because
monsters chase you, zombies sneak up on you,
and things scream at you. Though nerve racking,
it is an extremely fun, and daring adventure! Sta-
heli Family
Farm has
been running
since 1898.
That’s a total
of 117 years!
Y o u a r e
bound to have
a great time.
Do you want to get run over or very lost in the mid-
dle of the night? Then, make sure you’re safe on
Halloween. If you are planning on trick-or-treating,
go out with a group of friends. Never go alone and
stay on the sidewalks. If you’re wearing a costume
that’s hard to see in the dark, it’s suggested to wear
some kind of reflective tape so cars can see you,
and you can avoid an accident. Take a flashlight or
glow sticks so you and others around you can see
better. Stick to familiar neighborhoods where you
know where you’re going. Take a cell phone in case
of emergencies and be home at a reasonable time.
Be mindful of the little kids around you. They are
there to have fun on Halloween as well, and they
really look up to the “big” kids, so be nice and
friendly to them.
If you are driving
on Halloween,
keep your eyes
open and be
aware for chil-
dren that may be
in the street.
So, remember to
have a safe and
fun Halloween.

Four teams compete, only one will walk away as champions.
Each boys’ Peach Fuzz team had 6-8 players. There were two
senior teams, one junior team, and one sophomore team. The
first senior team, was known as The Liberators; the second
called themselves, the Senioritas. The juniors were named Fue-
go, and last but not least the sophomore team, was known as the
Avengers.
For those of you that don’t know about Peach Fuzz, it is a lot like
men's volleyball. Peach Fuzz is where each grade creates a team
that they want to play with. Then they set up a time to practice
before they actually play. Afterwards, the teams get together to
compete against each other.
After plenty of practice and smack talk, the games finally began.
Every team played to 21 for the first game. At first, The Libera-
tors went against the Senoritas, and Fuego against the
Avengers. It was a hard fought game for both teams as they com-
peted to advance to the next round. In the end, the Avengers
beat out the team they were facing, and the Liberators defeated
the Senioritas. The winners went on to face each other in the
championship. Justin
Thomas said, “I felt
that we played good
and I didn’t really
care about the score
so I had a good time.”
In the end, the Liber-
ators won with a
small lead, but took
home the trophy that
they well deserved.

PAGE 3 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2
Hurricane High is presenting El Cheapo on No-
vember the 14th. This great event will start at
8:00 P.M. in the auxiliary gym. Tickets will be
five dollars per couple and you can purchase
them in the front office at the high school. Every-
one should attend this dance because it is not
only cheap, but anyone can ask anyone. Here is
the catch! Whoever gets asked has to pay. So
there is no reason for you not to be there! So get
off your lazy derrière and get out there and ask
someone. The cheapest date will be awarded a
prize at the end of the dance. So make sure you
keep your dates as cheap as possible. After all,
who wants to pay for someone else’s future
spouse. If you end up without a date for whatever
reason, come anyway! You can buy a personal
ticket for three dollars at the door. Allan Madsen,
a senior here at Hurricane High explained,
“What sets El Cheapo apart from other dances is
that you do not have to spend so much to have a
good time!”

What Would You Do if Bats
Were in the School?
By: Jazmyn McMahon
Bats have been getting into the school and it’s no
secret anymore. The majority of the bats have been
in the library. However, on October 19, 2015 a bat
happened to wander into the gym during the annual
Peach Fuzz volleyball game. Mrs. Eves said that
about two weeks previous to the peach fuzz game,
there was another bat in the gym during her aerobic
class. Which means this is no fluke.
When asked about how the bats might be getting in,
Cora Downard said, "I thinks the bats are getting
into the school by coming in the doors when they are
being opened and closed but also they may be find-
ing spots in the roof that they can come in through.”
Many of us believe this to be true. In fact, the librar-
ian said, “We believe they enter through a grating in
the roof above the computer area.” She later went on
to say, “Last year, we killed 4 bats
in the library. So far this year,
we've only seen one bat, but haven't
been able to catch/kill it. We're
used to seeing them now, and we
have an official "bat swatter" that
we use to smash them. In the be-
ginning, we were a little freaked
out, but now we simply grab the
swatter and get rid of them. Sad...
but true.”

The first round of playoffs start this
week for region 9 and along with
grabbing the intense win over the
Snow Canyon Warriors, our own
Hurricane Tigers clinched the 3rd
seed and a home game for the first
round of playoffs. This win was a
huge success for the Tigers who
came back in the 4th quarter to win
it. As the Tigers advance, they will
play 6th ranked Park City.
This may also seem like
deja-vu to some of the Hur-
ricane players who last year
played against the same
Park City team in the
playoffs. Kyler Blackmore
says, “The Road to Rice-
Eccles started way before
the playoffs started, we
have had that as our goal
since the beginning. But as practic-
es come in playoff week the atti-
tude is amped up and we are hun-
gry for more, we are bringing the
‘PAIN’ to fight for our chance to
play in Rice Eccles Stadium.” As
you can see, our Tigers are hungry
and ready for the Road to Rice-
Eccles.
Many believe that running is horrible, deathly, and overall just the
worst thing to ever do. The few who do cross country must be very
brave, crazy, but most likely both. Kody Watts says “Crazy? I am
insane to run, but it is one of the best things ever so I love it.” Mak-
ing it to state is a great achievement because many do not have the
opportunity or privilege to qualify. Kauri Smith- who passed out
near the end of the race- was still able to get up and finish, qualify-
ing for state! When asked how she felt at the moment, she knew
she was going to state she replied “I have always wanted to be able
to go to state, and the moment I found out was just amazing, I
thought I had lost it all when I fell but that pushed me even harder
and I found myself getting that qualifying time.” Coach Kidd-
Thomas is very excited for next year because her team is practical-
ly full of sophomores, juniors, and even a varsity runner as a
Freshmen! She says “This was a great year to get the younger kids
more prepared and ready for next year, I am very excited to have
most of my team back next
year.” Also, don’t forget to
give a big shout out to: Kody
Watts, Isaiah Kinikini, Elias
Kinikini, Christian Arm-
strong, Jesse Barraclough,
Tim Amodt, and Kauri
Smith for all making it and
competing at state!

On October 8th through October 11th,
eight members of Hurricane High
School’s Chamber Choir were a part of
the Utah All-State Choir in Salt Lake
City. This is quite an accomplishment
because only about 700 students are
invited to attend the event. On Thurs-
day morning, students from Hurri-
cane, Pine View, and Dixie piled into
a bus and were transported to north-
ern Utah. With over 16 hours of re-
hearsal, the gifted singers’ effort paid
off in the final performance, which
was held in the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
Caleb Furse said, “I don't think I'll
ever forget the final blasts of
those songs that echoed
throughout the tabernacle.” In
the words of Sarah Mangum:
“I learned how to be confident
about myself and my talent. I
was there for a reason, and
only I can hold myself back.”
All in all, the trip was a great
experience. The conductor was
determined to shape us into
experienced singers; and we all
came back with valuable
knowledge on how to better
our voices.

structure of languages.” Mr.
Mildenhall said “ Everyone in
the department knows his/her
stuff, works hard, and works as
a team. It's the top English de-
partment in the school district
and among the best in the state.
Oh yeah, and they're funny, es-
pecially when students aren't
around!”
Hurricane High school's English de-
partment is ranked number one in the
Washington County School District and
is among one of the best schools in the
state according to the 2014-15 Sage
testing results. Teachers were asked
when they are most satisfied, favorite
part, and how long they have been
teaching. Mrs. Browning said that “She
is most satisfied with her students

All-State Choir
English Department
former art student from HHS said, "The
black light display is really cool to go walk
through. Making a black light piece is also
really cool because the colors change in the
black light." Every piece in the black light
show is unique and eye catching with their
bright glowing colors. New this year, is that
the piece voted “Best of Show” will win a
cash prize! So for anyone who hasn’t seen
the black light show before, make sure to
head up to the third floor at the end of next
week and check it out!
Every October, Mr. Jones and the HHS
Art Department put together a Black
Light Art Show on the third floor of Hur-
ricane High School. The students from
his art classes get to create any picture
or project they want and have it dis-
played for the entire school under the
black lights. Some draw zombies, some
make patterned sculptures, and some
create pictures that change when they
are in normal light. Brayden Peterson, a

is a check-in office where you will buy
your ticket and order your food. You
then can order durangos and it will be
served to you. There will then be an
intermission halfway through the film,
where your trash is cleaned up and a
dessert is served. The tickets
are $15 apiece, with an addi-
tional charge for food and
dessert. So come on in and
check it out! On another note,
there are some great upcom-
ing movies! The wait is near-
ly over for the fourth and fi-
nal instalment in the Hunger
Games series. “ Mocking Jay
part 2” comes out November
20th! May the odds be ever in
your favor! Some other mov-
ies are; The peanuts movie
(Charlie Brown), Victor
Frankenstein, Spectre (The new James
Bond), and the long awaited Star Wars:
The Force Awakens! This movie has
been talked about for the last year. For
all you Star Wars fans, December 18 is
the day to look forward to. So, this holi-
day season is going to be a good one at
Coral Cliffs Cinema 8. So go on over to
the theater, and make this holiday sea-
son a good one!
Remember When your Tamagotchi
pet ruled your life? Or when your
favorite expression was “Ya nas-
ties!” from That’s So Raven? How
about when the most insulting lines
of a movie were Sandlot’s “You play
ball like a girl”? Or when the
scariest show was Danny Phan-
tom?
Well, you’re not alone. Hurricane
High School is crawling with stu-
dents who vividly remember the
days when Disney Channel was
actually good, and when movies
seemed a lot more innocent than
they really are. So next time you
are in the mood to watch Emper-
or’s New Groove, don’t be embar-
rassed to quote Kronk with all of
the gusto he deserves. And if
you’re ever needing help with your
tamagotchi, don’t ask me. I killed
mine after 7 hours.

Strategies to Study
4-year-old Shot and Killed in Road Rage
PAGE 7 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2
Current Events
On Tuesday, October 20, 4-year-old Lily Garcia was shot in a
road rage incident. Policeman Chief, Gorden Eden, stated
that the man, Tony Torrez, confessed to the shooting on
Wednesday and was then taken into custody. Torrez, 32, con-
fessed that he opened fire on a red pick-up after the two vehi-
cles cut each other off on interstate I-40 in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. The red pick-up was occupied by Lily and her father.
Lily was shot but her father was unharmed. Torrez had been
previously arrested for aggravated battery, domestic violence,
and a violent incident involving a gun. Torrez now faces
charges of murder, assault, child abuse and others. His sen-
tence has not yet been specified at this time.

Many high school students have trouble when it comes to studying. It’s much easier to finish a Netflix marathon than to buckle down and read your textbook. But studying isn’t as hard as people make it sound. There is an abundance of strategies that are effective, easy, and will save your grades. Make a schedule. Set aside some time for a study session every day- but not too long. You wouldn’t want your brain to get fried. Take breaks. Study for 10-20 minutes at a time, taking a few minutes to rest in between. (Again, fried brains can’t func-tion very well.) Have incentives. It’s always nice to have a little prize at the end of working hard; so for every chapter read, page completed, line learned, etc, have something planned for afterwards. Ex-ample: One math problem = 1 gummy bear. Develop memory tricks. Have some-
one quiz you with flash cards. Use acrostics, such as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (Parentheses, expo-nents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) for the order of operations. Take notes and rewrite them. Writing something down a few times can engrain it in your mind. Ask questions. If you don’t understand something, talk to your teacher. In order to study a topic, you have to have at least a basic understanding of it. And most importantly: Sleep! No, not during a study session. But a big reason students today can’t focus while studying is that they’re still drowsy from the day before. Be sure to get enough rest at night to keep your-self functioning so you can focus properly. Bonus: 30 minute naps are known for giving you energy, so if you’re exhausted by the time you get home from school, take a half-hour nap, then study.
Late Tuesday night, police responded to a
report of a stabbing in the St. George area of
Dixie Downs. Police received a call reporting
an assault in progress at around 9:45 P.M.
and when police officials first arrived on the
scene, the victim had been stabbed twice-
once in the groin and then again in the
stomach. The victim is currently in stable
condition. The North Carolina man who as-
saulted the victim has been arrested on
charges of aggravated assault, in connection
with the stabbing.
