Inclusion teacher Callie Stanley and English teacher Dustin Baker got married just a few weeks ago, and she’s already tired of him. “It is time for divorce,” the new Mrs. Baker said. They thought it was the perfect time to get married. Turns out they have nothing in common other than their jobs and they can hardly stand seeing each other. Mr. Baker insisted they get a dog so that’s just what they did. They moved in together a while ago and she claims he never cleans up after the dog or himself. He always leaves the toilet seat up and he never puts the food back in the fridge when he’s done. Mr. Baker said that his new wife Photo by Ydennek Yennoc always takes the covers and is never willing to compromise. This constantly leads to fighting, and they both know that it’s never going to change. “He’s such a slob and he’s not nearly as funny. It’s time to recycle all his jokes,” she said. Besides having terrible jokes, the former Ms. Stanley found his Tinder profile which said “Not single, but ready to mingle.” All this time he has been looking for someone else. Makes her question why they ever got married. Mr. Baker said he’s willing to change, but it’s already too late. He told her he’d recycle his jokes and he’d get rid of his Tinder, but the new Mrs. Baker is definitely not OK with that. She told him she’s done and there’s no turning back. They both agree it is time to separate and go their own ways. Senior class to take trip to Bora Bora By Niltak Strebor and Acissej Areliuga The seniors this year will be going on a month-long class trip to Bora Bora. “I can’t wait to go to Bora Bora again. I’ve been there three times with Aliza and it was amazing,” senior Jayde Cleland said. The trip will take place the whole month of May. The seniors will leave on May 2 at 4:15 a.m. The flight there will take approximately 12 and a half hours from Columbus, Ohio to Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The cost of the flight for each student is $300. The original price for the tickets was $2,400 but incoming principal Donald Trump has decided to do- nate money to the less fortunate — NHS students. The total cost of the trip, including the flight, is only $1,000 because Principal Trump has decided to help with the funds. “I feel bad seeing the students stuck in this dumpy town. I think it’s time for them to get out and see the world,” Mr. Trump said. Due to the timing of the trip, the last day of school for seniors will be Friday April 29. The date for prom is going to be the same—April 30, the day after the seniors’ last day. Graduation will be May 1. Senior recognition night is cancelled due to the change in the schedule. “I can’t wait to go again. I loved going there. It was the best experience ever,” Aliza said.

If you’ve got the game, we’ve got the cheer By Hannah Selah Photo by Hannah Selah Seniors (from left) Jarrod Smith, Trenton Sheldon and Nick Byington and sophomore Jacob Roth show off their new uniforms. Guys at Norwalk High School will have a new opportunity to show their school spirit starting next school year. A new cheerleading program is being set up by Kristie Wert, the cheerleading coach for NHS, to create a boys -only squad to cheer for girls’ sports. “School spirit is at an all-time low and we need to make some big changes,” said Ms. Wert In order to be on this squad, boys will have to go through the same tryouts as the girls’ squad. They will be judged based on jumps, facials, attitude, knowledge of material and overall spir- it. Tryouts will take place at the end of summer so that the boys will have time to prepare their material. There will be three squads available for boys to try out for: girls’ soccer squad, girls’ basketball squad and competition. Guys will have the opportunity to try out for all of these squads or just one. Guys will also have the opportunity to letter at the end of the season. “This will make our school spirit much better than it is now and may encourage more people to go to games,” said sophomore Maya Reineck. “We look forward to having more school spirit and having a little competition,” said junior Malorie Malson. Page 2 — Trucker Imprint — Monday, April 4, 2016 New grad requirements By Hannah Selah and Nagol Tsruh There will be new graduation requirements at Norwalk High School starting next school year, and one of them may be a little painful. In order for students to graduate, they must get some sort of Norwalk symbol tattooed on a visible part of their body. This tattoo will have to be located on the student’s arms, legs or feet, and must be three inches in width and three inches in length. Norwalk teachers think that this is a great idea for students, because it allows them to show their school spirit forever! “This allows students to show pride in their school and never forget where they received such a wonderful education,” said English teacher Amie Swope. The Norwalk staff will also be required to get these tattoos before they retire from Norwalk High School. The cost of the tattoo will not be covered by the school and it will be considered as a fee. Along with the tattoo requirement, NHS staff members have set new educational graduation requirements, beginning for the class of 2020. All students who plan on graduating in 2020 and after must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 4.0. They will be required to take at least one honors, AP or CCP course every year of their high school career. “We want to put students under the most amount of stress possible,” said Principal Brad Cooley. Students must be fluent in at least three languages, not including English. Students must take two years of Njerep, a unique language from Nigeria, only spoken by five people around the world, including history teacher Chris Cloud. Along with taking the class, students must carry on a 45 minute conversaPhotoshop by Neltiac Noremac tion in Njerep with Senior Casey Horowitz shows off his Norwalk Mr. Cloud before Truckers tattoo. graduating. “Mr. Cloud is a wonderful language, ensuring the success of teacher who expects so much. He students,” said guidance counsewill be a great teacher of this new lor Sandra Stewart. Plans for prom have been changed By Anyala Nerraw The school faculty apologizes for the inconvenience, but there are some last minute changes to this year’s prom. Prom will still be Saturday April 30, but the grand march will start at noon and the dance itself will follow at 2 p.m. and last till 4 p.m. The theme is still Masquerade, but all dresses must be homemade, not store bought. Tuxes aren’t permitted, so guys must wear something else. In fear of scratching the floor, slippers must be worn for both guys and girls. The grand march will still be held in the EPAC but the dance will be in the auxiliary gym. There will be no DJ, but you and your date are more than welcome to bring cell phones and headphones. Dinner is not going to be provided so a packed lunch is need- ed. The after prom will be held at Norwalk’s Wal-Mart where there will be games of hide-and-seek and tag. “These changes will help us save money and I think it will be more fun for everyone,” said Principal Brad Cooley. Pigman begins Jedi training By Nolat Grubnesem Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac The stairs that are currently under construction. No more stairs — escalators coming By Elleinad Hikahsa Are you a student or teacher at Norwalk High School who doesn’t like using your feet to walk up stairs? If so, this is good news for you. After multiple protests and complaints, the stairs at NHS are going to be changed to escalators very soon. “We just get so tired walking up all the steps every day. I even get a little winded when I get to the top of the stairs,” said junior Mya Ray. The most common complaint is that with the heavy textbooks and school materials, walking up the stairs has become impossible. Tripping on the stairs has also been a serious problem. “I have tripped twice this year and it was pretty traumatic,” sophomore Ethan Byrd said. But not everyone thinks it’s a good idea. “I think that we should keep the stairs,” said nutrition and wellness teacher TJ Thomas. “It’s good exercise!” Currently, the stairs are undergoing construction. Students who need to access the second floor will have to take turns on the elevators. Improving our school, starting with school lunch By Annaerb Sreym As of next year, cafeteria rules around the school will be changed exponentially. Students must throw half of their food at the person across from them, and smear anything sticky upon the tables. “I love that we can finally express our inner child,” senior Laila Smite said. Students are also required to include at least three very violent cuss words in each sentence they speak, and be very disrespectful to teachers. “We consider that school is too harsh on the students. This is just one of the ways that the school will be improved. More is yet to come,” Principal Brad Cooley said. Students will also be allowed to steal from the cafeteria staff, and play pranks on whomever they choose. “Happy students mean a happy school, naturally,” lunch supervisor Jeff Cole said. “It’s about time something like this happened.” Another recently-added rule to the cafeteria is students will be able to gamble away their food to other students and teachers. Unlike the policy of other schools, now all students of every grade can leave the cafeteria to grab lunch from local fast food stores. For thousands of years, Jedis have trained and fought to protect the ones they love. But no one on planet Earth has ever met one in real life. At least, not until now! Derek Pigman, history teacher at Norwalk High School, has officially announced himself a Jedi in training. He began his training at the beginning of spring break on March 25 and ends his training today. “This has been my dream since I was little; I’m so happy that I can finally learn the ways of the force,” he said. Before he began training, he already had his robe made and his light saber ordered through Amazon. He started with a bluecolored saber to show he was training. Mr. Pigman only had about two weeks to learn the basics of the Jedi ways and laws that he must follow for the rest of his life. He must learn to use the force with a clear mind and control his anger and aggression to become a true Jedi. “I will never join the dark side. Staying as true to myself and my loved ones as possible will make me a great Jedi,” he said. All Jedis follow their own path after their training has ended. Jedi masters only hope that Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac History teacher Derek Pigman stands tall after completing his Jedi training. the trainees can stay on the path to a good life and off the path of darkness. “The biggest thing a Jedi needs to follow is his heart,” said the mysterious Jedi master. “I only hope our ways of Jedi life can stay with this young Jedi forever.” “It is like a Jedi’s code of ethics; like I have taught my sociology classes. These are codes that pertain to you for the rest of your life,” Mr. Pigman said, adding that he recommends all students and staff participate in Jedi training at least one time in their life. “It will change the way you see the world and it will change you as a person,” he said. Giving students more time to sleep in with night school By Ailyk Nosemaj Many scientists have done studies on the student brain and when it actually fully starts functioning during the day. These studies have proven the brain doesn’t completely start functioning until 10 a.m. When Principal Brad Cooley read up on these studies, he realized how at fault the school system is for the failing students. He realized that if school would start later, students’ brains would be functioning better and their grades would improve. “Instead of just starting at 10 a.m., we have decided to have school overnight. Students already stay up late; now they have a reason to,” Mr. Cooley said. Instead of waking up at 5 a.m. and being at school before 7:30, students won’t have to wake up early and won’t have to come in to school until 11 p.m. “I’m super excited for these new hours,” said sophomore Nelida Negrete. “Now I’ll have more time to go to the gym and watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Monday, April 4, 2016 — Trucker Imprint — Page 3 Experience Njerep with Cloud By Eniledam Ehcor Starting with the next school year, history teacher Chris Cloud will be teaching a Njerep class. The Njerep language is mostly spoken in Nigeria. Only five people in the world can speak this language and Mr. Cloud is one of them. “We have been informed that the Njerep language is greatly endangered and on the verge of extinction. Mr. Cloud has been fighting for his right to teach the class to save the language,” assistant principal Patrick Kania said. “Mέ gònè a né mə dɜé bȃ mə dɜé bȃ mbá mbāmò, tā nàdá mə,” Mr. Cloud said, which he translated as “I want to teach this good language to all, as it was taught it to me.” Mr. Cloud said he will expect his students to take the language seriously because it is very important to him. “I have friends in Nigeria who are also among the only five to know this language and they are working with me to see if a field trip would be possible for my students to practice the language where it is typically spoken,” Mr. Cloud said. “I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to take this class but I encourage all underclassmen to sign up for it, especially because Mr. Cloud is teaching it,” senior Ashtyn Ley said. One student who has already signed up for the class is freshman Anna White. “I can’t wait to learn Njerep. It’s such a cool language and I really Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac want to visit Nigeria and Mr. Cloud (right) stands with a Nigerian snake around his neck, next to his see wildlife like the four Njerep teacher while on a journey to master the language. families of venomous who would like to take Njerep, especially snakes that are found there,” she said. since it will be a new graduation requirement “Even though scheduling for next year has next year,” guidance counselor Sandra Stewart already happened, the guidance office would said. be happy to switch the schedules of anyone Dark defense By Idnarb Rekarb English teacher Leah Schuster is bringing a new class to Norwalk High School. Students will now be learning defense against the dark arts. “I think it’s important to know how to fight fire with fire,” Mrs. Schuster said. Starting with the incoming ninth years, all students will be required to take this class to graduate. All students currently in their ninth year and older are strongly encouraged to take this class, but are not required to. “You never know when a dark lord will try to kill you,” Mrs. Schuster said, adding that it is especially important to take this class if you have Photo by Idnarb Rekarb Mrs. Schuster prepares to teach a lesson in defense against the dark arts. any suspicious scars. Divination is a class that was considered in place of defense against the dark arts, because it is considered less dangerous. Divination is a class based on attempting to see the future. Mrs. Schuster thinks defense against the dark arts is vastly more important than divination. “What good would it do to ‘see’ yourself getting attacked if you can’t defend yourself?” she said. Mrs. Schuster said the lessons she is most excited for include the tonguetying curse, the full body bind curse (Petrificus Totalus) and the melofors jinx. “Everything you learn in this class could save your life,” Mrs. Schuster said. Freshening up the school board By Netsrik Yellek In the near future, Norwalk City Schools are expecting a very radical change to come to the school board. The current members of the board will be replaced by members of the freshman class. Principal Brad Cooley, Assistant Principal Patrick Kania and Superintendent George Fisk made this decision together. “Since this is my last year here, I want to make sure that after I’m gone the school is in good hands. I think that changing the board from adults to students will ensure that the good reputation we have is maintained when Trump replaces me,” Mr. Cooley said. The freshmen who will be board members next year will have to meet certain criteria. They will be chosen by a select committee consisting of teachers from all buildings, principals and guidance counselors. “We got together one day and thought, ‘Why aren’t students more involved in the school system?’ Having freshmen as board members will bring new ideas and a new perspective to Norwalk City Schools,” Mr. Fisk said. The freshman students who are in the running for board membership are: Anah Freeman, Olivia Schaffer, Sydney Smith, Anna Little and Austin Brown. These prospective board members have already been thinking about what their first act as official board members will be. They have collectively agreed to vote on freshmen being allowed to leave for lunch, getting rid of school on Mondays and making it possible for freshmen to arrive late and leave early from school. More new classes By Eilrahc Hsan There are other new classes coming to Norwalk High School for the 2016-17 school year including “Intro to Climbing Ladders” and “How to Manage PDA.” In “Intro to Climbing Ladders,” students will learn how to correctly climb a ladder without endangering their lives and the lives of people around them. Very few people know that climbing a ladder is one of the top 10 most dangerous things to do in a household environment. “We saw a scary number of students climbing ladders incorrectly over the school year,” Principal Brad Cooley said, “and we knew we needed to do something about it immediately.” How to manage PDA will be a freshman-mandatory class, and it will show students how to properly acknowledge their significant other in the hallways during the school day, and in public for their everyday lives. “The PDA situation was really getting out of hand,” science teacher Tiffany Chandler said. “That’s why I volunteered to teach this class to all of the freshmen.” Both classes will be a onesemester course, each for a half credit. Freshmen seize seniority By Ylime Htims Freshmen this year are worse than they’ve ever been in the past. “They are completely out of control! They took over the senior lounge. They demanded that prom was theirs, and they are determined to steal away graduation,” Principal Brad Cooley said. Seven freshmen have already been suspended this year for trying to fight seniors. “We need to get the freshmen under control before we become seniors.

Many students have found that they were tripping over nothing, but it turns out, there was something. Secretly hiding around the school, little creatures walk among us without being seen. These creatures are about one foot tall, and are often not trying to trip random passersby, but are merely trying to live their lives to the fullest. “I can’t believe that I was tripping over little people. Now I feel slightly sorry for all those times I stubbed my toes on the carpet,” senior Alexis Braden said. These creatures that walk among us are known as Invisibilus Nomatus, commonly known as invisible gnomes. “How can we get rid of them?” freshman Joseph Mist said. The Norwalk City School District is already on the case, but with pixies in the middle school, it has been hard for the district to manage time and hire experts on the unseen. “I can only hope that when the gnomes are gone, we won’t be ‘seeing’ them again,” Principal Brad Cooley said. How were the gnomes found in the first place? Custodians have recently found the nesting sites of these critters, and were astounded by the fact there were infestations. “One of the nests was in the girls’ bathroom. We cleared it out, but we can’t be sure it’s gone completely,” one custodian said. There are others who think that clearing away the infestation will not be necessary. “Let them live their lives! What if it was us being tripped on and the gnomes wanted to get rid of us? This is inhumane,” freshman Lillian Grews said. Page 4 — Trucker Imprint — Monday, April 4, 2016 Fifty Shades comes to NHS By Nagol Tsruh Recently released, Fifty Shades of Grey the musical struck the interest of NHS musical director Robyn Rogers. “I’m so excited to put on such an iconic show for the community and student body,” said Mrs. Rogers. “The show was just released for use by amateur drama programs, and the majority of our students had requested to put on this production.” Chosen as the lead roles in the show are sophomore Shaina Bruns as Anastasia Steele, and sophomore Drake Harvey as Christian Grey. “I have never been in the musical before, but when the directors announced the show, I just had to audition,” said Drake. “I’ve always wanted to portray such a recognizable part. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity,” added Shaina. “There is a lot of very difficult music in the show, but we have a talented cast, and I think they can handle it,” said assistant director Carol Phillips.

Missing stereo and missing suspect By Dorraj Htims and Eilrahc Hsan A recent and unfortunate event has recently struck NHS. Senior Charlie Nash has had his car stereo stolen out of his car. Although his car was unlocked, the culprit went into his car during the school day and stole the stereo. The suspect is still out there and is on the NHS top 10 most wanted list. “I really miss jamming in my car every morning. My car rides are extremely boring now,” said Charlie. Since this tragic event has happened, a GoFundMe account has been started in order to get him a new stereo for his car. “Will you please find it in your heart to donate some money into our fund so I can finally listen to music again? We could really use everyone’s help. Thank you,” said Charlie. Photo by Dorraj Htims Senior Charlie Nash mourns the loss of his stereo. Arby’s replaces Stomping Grounds for lunch By Eelir Ztiworoh Just last year, Norwalk High School got its very own coffee shop, Stomping Grounds. But now, they’re taking a different direction with their food vending ventures. Callie Baker, the lead teacher in charge of Stomping Grounds, has made the executive decision that coffee isn’t cutting it anymore. What kids really want,” Mrs. Baker commented, “isn’t coffee, but quality meat and a name brand they can trust.” After pulling a few strings, Mrs. Baker was able to acquire a school sponsorship from the successful fast-food chain Arby’s. Starting next month, Stomping Grounds will begin renovation so that it will be able to make and serve the food commonly purchased from Arby’s restaurants everywhere. “I’m excited for the change,” math teacher Corrie Kaple said. “I can’t wait to start serving quality food that the kids deserve Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac A new sign is placed above the closed Stomping Grounds. while shouting ‘we have the meats’ at them.” Some food items that are expected to be seen at this new “Arby’s Grounds” establishment are the roast beef frappe, curly fry shake, mocha cheese steak and the junior chicken sandwich. Matter of Style Mix and match all your colors and patterns By Anyala Nerraw and Ylime Htims What you wear is super important. It tells a little bit about who you are! We’re going to give you a few tips about putting together patterns and prints. When deciding what to wear, always clash your colors. Mix black and brown together because it really makes a broad statement. If you’re planning on wearing a denim shirt, NEVER wear the same colored denim jeans. Colors should never match because it’s boring if they do.

Last week during B lunch, all the sinks in the girls’ bathroom on the first floor were stolen. “I went to wash my hands during lunch and then I was like???” freshman Mayli Austin said. “Everything was a mess, Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac broken pieces of ceramic A picture of the crime scene is shown above. and water were everywall and a track of muddy footwhere.” prints leading to the exit.

Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac Quinn Obringer (junior) poses after his 10 goal performance vs. St. Paul. By Ekaj Htimsressem There are two new sports at Norwalk High School. One of the sports is water polo. Mitchell Perry (junior) is the captain of the team. When asked about how the new sport is going, Mitchell said, “Water polo all day boy, we the best.” After playing like fish out of the water to start, the team finished on a 15-game winning streak. Their record is 15-3. “It was a miracle that we went from being the worst team in state to one of the best,” said Coach Wes Douglas. They are competing in the district championship next week against Sandusky. “They ain’t got nothing on us. We’re the best water polo-ers in the state,” Mitchell said. The other new sport at NHS is lacrosse. It has been getting a lot of attention at school. More than 50 students tried out for the lacrosse team. Coach Derek Pigman selected Quinn Obringer (junior) to be the captain of the team. In their first game, Quinn scored all of the goals in a 10-8 victory over St. Paul. After the game Quinn said, “I am the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) of lacrosse.” He received player of the week honors in the state. Coach Pigman said, “It was a warm-up game against a terrible team. Don’t expect us to win another game.” However, Quinn had other thoughts. “We are going to state!" he said. Farmer’s crops become failures By Xela Ssenrah and Nitsuj Zehcnas At the start of the season, the crops were strong and sturdy. By the time winter came they were found dead… “The crops could not survive the tests and hardships of winter,” said Mrs. Farmer. “Hopefully next season they will be prepared.” The crops were watered with knowledge well but could not soak up the subject. A batch of not teachable crops they were. One of Mrs. Farmer’s crops, senior Alex Harness, said, “All I wanted to do was play My NBA 2K16. But Mrs. Farmer wanted me to soak up knowledge. But I don’t really school well.” Another one of Mrs. Farmer’s withering crops, senior Justin Sanchez, said, “I couldn’t learn how to physicssynthesis.” Photoshop by Neltiac Noremac Science teacher Angela Farmer sits shocked as her crops wither away. Bodies found behind closed doors By Htims Ylime and Anyala Nerraw A person’s feet were found in the cadaver lab behind closed doors at NHS. Have you ever noticed the crazy number of closed doors around the school? Digging deep into an investigation to figure out what the doors are hiding, we found some shocking answers! The school has had what was thought to be a morgue for quite some time. We tried to figure out where the bodies came from, but couldn’t gain any solid information. Nervously, Principal Brad Cooley told us, “We didn’t even know those were in there!” Later in the conversation he confessed, “Nobody was supposed to see the bodies, but I guess the smell is just getting too bad.” Shocked, we had to call the police! They rushed over to investigate. They figured out that it wasn’t a morgue, but it was a cadaver lab. We went in to check out the scene. There were bodies everywhere and blood stains on the floor. The smell was unbearable and the bodies were uncovered. They seemed to have been recently tampered with. Chopped up body parts lay all over the floor. A human leg was soaking in the sink. “It’s an ongoing investigation,” said police officer Dave Smith. “I wonder what else we don’t know about this school,” said sophomore Danielle Cousino. Students are concerned about their safety and some have even chosen to be homeschooled. Pet Peeves: What is your biggest pet peeve about school? By Netsrik Yellek and Hannah Selah Senior Alex Osborn: “The fact that we seniors can leave for lunch.” Junior Garrett Underwood: “Getting a front row parking spot.” Softballers love the sun Sophomore Bethany Cring: “Getting 100% on a test that I didn’t study for.” Freshman Alyssa Faley: “The fact that I will graduate with a good education.” Historical Facts of April By Eelrak Yelnoc Compiled by Tterrag Ekrub The Norwalk varsity softball team has decided not to return to Norwalk, after traveling to Myrtle Beach over spring break. “We are having too much fun and the weather is better than Ohio,” said Coach Callie Baker. The girls plan to start school only when they finish all the activities they have planned. “School work is pointless and the beach is more fun,” said senior Bailey Thomas. The girls are soaking up the sun on the beach and taking surf lessons. “I can’t wait to ride the waves,” said junior Kayla Appeman. The rest of this season’s games will be played, but all the NOL teams will have to fly down to Myrtle Beach. “I can’t wait for the other teams to come and play in the hot sun,” said senior Megan Ewing.

Teachers have double identities By Ailyk Nosemaj Photoshops by Neltiac Noremac Many students often wonder what teachers do outside of school. When younger, students often think teachers live at school, sleep under their desk, and they don’t have lives outside of school, right? Well, for a select few teachers at least, this isn’t the case. Recently teachers have been admit- ting to secret identities outside of school. Well, I guess they won’t be so secret after this. Math teacher Chris Higgins recently slipped up during one of his lessons and, after some pestering, students got out of him that he doubles as the “merc with a mouth” Deadpool. “I really didn’t want my students to know since it will just make me more popular and a story of interest among their conversations,” said Mr. Higgins. Also, Will Kish embarrassingly admitted to being The Penguin outside of teaching band and music appreciation. “I needed something to keep my mind busy after those kids drive me crazy all day,” Mr. Kish said.
