Info from Abbie Evavold & Hope Haarstad Grade 11

The sophomores, juniors, and

seniors will be going to Park

Square Theater in Saint Paul and to the Minneapolis Institute of Art

on April 26, 2017. Students will

leave at 6:15 a.m. and return

about 6:00 p.m. Originally, the juniors and sen-

iors had plans to go see the play A

Raisin in the Sun earlier this year,

but due to weather it had to be rescheduled. Now we will be

seeing the play Macbeth and the

sophomores will be joining us

with Ms. Wojcik. Other chaper-

ones include Mrs. Anderson and

Ms. Schultz.

Students are encouraged to

bring $15-20 for lunch. Snacks during intermission will be $2.

The 7th graders in Mrs. Wo-

jcik’s class have been studying

Shakespeare and “Romeo and Juliet”. They first started by

watching the movie “Romeo and

Juliet” then they read the play.

On April 19, Mrs. Wojcik is taking the 7th graders to go and

watch “Romeo and Juliet” that

was produced and directed by

Sharon Thalmann. It will be at the AAAA in Alexandria at 9 a.m.

Afterwards they are eating lunch

at about 11 a.m. After lunch they

will split into groups and learn about the combat they use and

mask making. At about 1 p.m.

they will switch and at 2 p.m.

they will head back to the school.

With the end of the school year coming, I am sure that everyone

is now counting the days until we get out of school. As of April 19,

2017 we have 28 days left of school without counting the weekends. Although, if you add in the weekends we would have 38 days until

May 26, 2017 our last day of school!!!

At school we also have a number

of activities coming up like the Year-

book Signing Party, Prom, The

Spring Concert, Kindergarten

Graduation, Awards Day, Baccalau-

reate, Elementary Track and Field, and the annual end of the year soft-

ball game plus the Day of Caring that will be held at the end of May.

Also, I am sure that everyone is getting at least a little case of

Spring fever. Everyone is probably gearing up for activities like camping, bonfires, swimming, fishing, and all of those other fun

thing that summer entails.

effective. In her spare time Hope

likes to be with her family and

hang out with her friends. After graduation from high school she

plans to go to college and become

a Flight Attendant and eventually

start a family. For the past 69 years, the

“Fieldy” will not be able to play

Metal Music is good

for your Health

A new study claims metal music to be good for your health.

There is the stereotype that metal-

heads are angry and depressed,

but a new study claims that it does the exact opposite.

Researchers from the Univer-

sity of Queensland Australia said

that when they exposed people to harder music like Heavy Metal,

Hard Rock, and Punk that the

participants experienced only

positive emotions like happiness, calmness, and inspiration.

Student Leah Sharman and

psychologist Genevieve Dingle

conducted the experiment on 39 volunteers ranging in age from 18

to 34 years old. They were asked

to recall a bad memory and were

shown after exposure to the music they were less aggressive. http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-

The NHL announced Monday

that it will not participate in the

2018 PyeongChang Olympics, ending a run of five consecutive

Winter Olympics with NHL play-

ers.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has repeatedly said in the

past several months that the own-

ers were against Olympic partici-

pation for a variety of

reasons. In

the United

States, 73 percent said

they were

not in favor.

In Canada, it was 53 percent against the break.

The Minnesota

Twins started the

2017 season on April

3. They started the

season 3-0 for the

first time in the last 10 years.

T h e 2 0 1 7 M i n n es o t a Twins season is the 57th season

for the franchise in the Twin Cit-

ies, their eighth season at Target

Field, and the 117th overall in the American League.

The Twins next few games

are against the Cleveland Indians

on April 20, and the Detroit Ti-gers on April 21 through 23.

Last season was the Twins

56th season in the MLB and they

were in last place in the MLB with a 59-103 record (.364).

ABE Track has been having

a very successful season so far.

The throwers are doing very well. ABE tracksters have been

working very hard at practices.

They work hard to accom-

plish goals they have came up with and hung up in our locker

rooms. Track meets are very

exciting and there is a lot going

on. Make sure to come cheer on

the ABE Track team!

On Monday April 3, the

Arrows played the West Central

Area Knights. Giving up two errors we lost the game 10 - 5.

The Knights scored 7 runs in the

5th inning to take the lead.

On April 6, we faced the Brandon/Evansville Chargers.

We battled back and fourth but

lost in the end. Score of 17-7.

On Friday April 7, the Ar-rows won in dramatic fashion.

After gaining a 6-0 lead in the

first 5 innings, Pelican Rapids

came back in the 6th inning and scored 10 runs. In the 7th inning

Cody Fults laid down a walk off

squeeze bunt to win.

Ashby Arrow softball team

lost their first two games. The

first game was in WCA, score was 15-6. The second game was

against Brandon/Evansville and

the score was 16-10. The soft-

ball girls had a game on Tuesday April 11, in Hillcrest and the

score was 14-1.

Ashby’s first golf meet was

at Tipsinah Mounds Golf Course

on April 11. The scores were—Ganon Heinrich with 99, Brad-

ley Anderson

with 110,

M i k a h B u r k h a r d t

with 115, and

Cooper Pe-

terson 131. Capt. Jaxon Knick got 135 and Brandon Anderson

got a 151.

At this point, we have started

the second week of trap practice

of the season. The new members are getting a feel for the atmos-

phere of trap, and so has everyone

else who seemed to not be shoot-

ing their best. This proves they are a little rusty with almost no one

shooting more than 40/50 clays.

We will hopefully see an im-

provement in shooting in the next few weeks leading up to the actual

scores that will count towards

making it onto the varsity team.

Good luck to all the Ashby high school trap shooting team.

Let’s get some perfect 50’s this

week.

Samuel Adams was born on

September 27, 1722 in Boston.

He is the son to Samuel Adams Sr., and Mary Adams. He was the

brother to 11 other children but

was one of only three children to

make it past 3 years of age. In 1736 he attended Harvard

and then continued his studies

after graduating. Then, in 1748

he started writing political essays in the local newspaper.

Sam married Elizabeth

Checkley in October of 1749 and

they had six kids. In 1757 she

died after giving birth. He married Elizabeth Wells in 1764.

From 1765 to 1774 he served

as a legislator of Massachusetts

and helped found Boston’s Com-mittee of Correspondence that

provided communication during

the American Revolutionary War.

In 1781 he urged a final break from Great Britain and signed the

Declaration of Independence. His

final post was as a governor for

Massachusetts from 1794 to 1797. He died on October 2, 1803 in

Boston, Massachusetts at the

age of 81.

It’s that time of the year again

when we have to look out for

wood ticks! Do you know anyone who has gotten bitten by a tick

and contracted Lyme’s Disease? It

is a very serious disease that can

cause debilitating symptoms and often cannot be treated if not

caught early.

Most people with Lyme dis-

ease recover completely with appropriate antibiotic treatment.

For those who develop syndromes

after their infection is treated, pain

medications may provide some relief but there is no cure.

Be sure to check yourself for

ticks after being outdoors.

If you want to add some col-

orful masterpieces to your fridge

then this is one craft you can do! All you need is:

Paper

Brown Yarn

Pink Tissue Paper Glue

is rip up

small pieces of tissue

glue.

After that, stick on the pieces

of yarn to make the trunk and

branches. Stick on the tissue paper

balls as blossoms.
