–CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATE –
Congratulations Graduate: A farewell to our seniors
by Shelby Thomas
Congratulations seniors. You have officially reached
the horizon you have been running to for the last thirteen
years. The glimmering light at the end of the tunnel is shining
brightly, blinding your steps into this final leap of adulthood.
We take the time to say, ―Congratulations.‖ We applaud your
momentous walk across the stage. We shake the hand that
held your diploma with tears in our eyes. ―A tear of pride?‖ you
ask. Well… please allow me to explain.
A salty droplet stings the corner of our eyes, and as it
rolls down our cheeks, a filmstrip plays like a black and white
movie on display. Your round, smiling faces come to mind.
Your contagious laughter whispers in our ears. And, as we
watch our personal slideshow, we remember your hopes. We
remember your dreams. We remember the confidence you
had in your ambitions. Suddenly, the movie ends and the credits roll. Two words flash across the screen: ―Good luck.‖
―Congratulations,‖ we announce. Welcome to your
new life. Enjoy the world of college debt and small, cramped
dorm rooms. Well done. You have achieved the right to all-
nighters pulling off pages of papers for the classes you have
the next morning. Hats off to you, Graduate. The roommate
whose alarm clock begins ringing at six will surely enhance
your cultural experience. Felicitations to you. The extra fifteen
pounds really suits your figure. Compliments, Official Alumni.
The dream of having to learn how to manage your cash has
finally come true. Give yourself a pat on the back. In three
months you will have erased the word ―privacy‖ from your vocabulary. ―Congratulations!‖ Did we mention that?
We shake your hand; a solemn single motion with a
meaning of significance. The tear continues down our chins as
we walk away from you in your blissful ignorance to your future endeavors. The reality that your romanticized ―light at the
end of the tunnel‖ was really just a fluorescent light in your
dark closet-like dorm is soon to hit. The truth that the horizon
you have been seeking was actually just a smudge on your
contact or glasses will soon be revealed to you. Congratulations? Perhaps. But, maybe, the better term is ―best wishes.‖
*Satire
I Wish Everybody the Best of Luck
by Hannah Kidwell
It‘s not hard to remember our very first day of school at Greenwood. Anxious, carrying our packed lunches in Batman
and Barbie tins, we journeyed into school with high expectations. Now, as graduating seniors, we are experiencing that same
feeling as we are preparing ourselves to leave our beloved Greenwood and venture into the real world. Whether we are going
to college, tech school, military, or immediately starting a career, we are all experiencing the same emotion: fear. Earl Nightingales says, ―We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.‖ So, now I am challenging
you to take charge of your fear and channel it in a constructive manner to accomplish your dreams.
Dear Seniors:
Faculty reflections and parting words for the Class of 2009
Parting Words
―Live every day to its fullest!‖ –Mrs. Brummer
―Best of luck to the class of 2009!!! May you always be my factoring friends saying ―trinomial..trial and error‖, graph a line
with the ―B‖ in the tree, and remember that ―is‖ is the equals sign!‖ –Mrs. Kahl
―Always work hard and never lose sight of your goals.‖ –Mr. Johnson
―Ten el valor de ser tu mismo!‖ –Señora Bendorf
―Ojalá que todo vaya bien en sus futuros. Yo sé que Greenwood no será la misma escuela sin su clase.‖ –Señora Hults
―Je vous souhaite un avenir fantastique. L‘école ne sera la même sans votre classe.― –Madame Hults
―Congratulations to the Class of 2009! You will be hearing many words of advice in the coming weeks. Consider them all, but
always remember that character does count in life and that family and friends are your greatest treasures. Best wishes.‖ –Mr.
and Mrs. Gantt
―Good Luck to all the graduating seniors! For those going into the health care field, I will offer these ‗words of wisdom‘: patients and families may not remember how skillfully you administered an injection, but they will remember that they were
treated with respect and kindness… enjoy and good luck!‖ –Mrs. Brown
―‘What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.‘ –Emerson.‖ –Mrs. Troutman

Favorite Memories
―El cumpleaños de la profesora en el restaurante El Rodeo.‖ –Señora Bendorf
―I will remember our day at El Rodeo and my birthday as well as the wonderful meal at Confit French Bistro. Your class has
been a wonderful class to work with over the years and I will miss you.‖ –Mrs. Hults
―Skeletal Jumps.‖ (In Advanced Biology.) –Mrs. Troutman
―Student section at girls‘ basketball games. . . HoHoHo.‖ –Mrs. Brummer
―My six boys in my period 2 Trigonometry were always a treat to teach! I enjoyed their serenades of math music, their hiding
places, and their enthusiasm for learning new concepts in Trigonometry. I will also miss the 3 senior ―A‘s‖ (Ashley, Alisha,
and Angel) in my period 5/6 Algebra class!‖ –Mrs. Kahl
(Regarding the Senior Baseball Players) ―Always keeping a lookout for the Cryptkeeper!‖ –Mr. Johnson
―Some of our favorite memories from this school year were provided by the seniors who provided leadership for the boys basketball team and their remarkable season.
· The beginning of the League championship game, with the score Ethan 8, Halifax 0, punctuated by his roof raising dunk. The
image of Ethan doing a cartwheel in a toga at a girls game is forever etched in our memories.
· Trent‘s calm, reliable leadership, including his abilities to play the straight man for media interviews and his post moves and
key rebounds against much taller animals like elephants, lions, and cardinals. Contrast that with the wild and wooly postgame
celebration with brother Grant at the Giant Center.
· Adam‘s confident coolness in repeatedly sinking crucial, last minute foul shots to ice games. The look on the face of RCC‘s
coach when Adam appeared from nowhere and seemed to hang in the air for a put back without ever touching down.
Thank you for an exciting, memorable year.‖ -Mr. and Mrs. Gantt
―My memory of Jesus is when, in an earlier grade, he said he wouldn‘t come to the office when called until I learned how to
pronounce his name correctly. Which I promptly worked on and accomplished. Best to you, Mr. An-do-har!
Chelsea McNaughton – my memory of Chelsea is that she is/was the most dependable mail-person between here & VoTech
that we‘ve ever had. Thanks a million Chelsea, you will be missed!
Angel Peugh – thanks for always doing a great job with the morning announcements.
Kelby Roush – thanks for all your help over the years running around the building on 2-hour delay days putting up signs for us.
And for doing a great job with the morning announcements! Best to you in all your future choices – I‘m sure you will make great
ones!
Sr. VoTech students: Curtis Benson, Camie Hoffman, Ted Laverty, Roger Mangle, Matt Markel, Chelsea McNaughton, Lance
Newlin, Staci Sweigart, & Ashley Weiss – Now aren‘t you glad I kept you all so well informed of VoTech issues over the years. I
wish you all the very best!‖ –Mrs. Gothel

Greening Your Dorm: How to make your college dormitory earth-friendly
by Carly Shumaker
The school year is coming to a close and we all are heading to
the work force, a vocational/technical school, the armed
forces, or to a college or university. For those of us heading to
college, it is important to realize that many higher institutions
care tremendously about the environment and its betterment.
Use these tips to be eco-savvy and make your dorm room a
healthy place for both you and the environment.
1. Recycle everything, especially paper! Think about how
many pieces of paper you go through in a semester. There
[are] your class notes, your scrap copies, your term papers,
your daily school newspapers, and assorted stuff that you've
printed out from the Internet... it all adds up. Look for a paper
recycle bin on campus—you might find one near a dormitory
or large classroom building. Recycle other items as well, including cans, bottles, and cardboard boxes.
2. Use your printer wisely. You can save paper by printing
on both sides of the page. Many professors don't mind if you
turn in a paper like this—just ask first. Save pages that you've
printed and use the backs to print out drafts and other things
you don't have to turn in. In addition, many printers have multiple settings for print quality. Use the high quality print setting
for things that have to look nice, but use the low quality setting
for things that don't. This will save ink. While you're at it, consider cutting down on the things you print out. Do you really
need to print out that web page, or can you just bookmark it?
3. Limit the use of disposable cups and plates. If you're
moving into your first off-campus apartment, it can be tempting
to buy disposable cups and plates to save time. This adds up
to a lot of waste and money. Buy yourself some inexpensive
plates and wash them. You can do this if you live in a dorm
room too. Many dorms have a kitchen, and if yours doesn't,
wash dishes in the bathroom sink.
4. Limit the use of paper napkins. Since college students
eat a good deal of fast food, napkin use can add up. It's good
that you want to be clean, but one napkin will probably do the
trick!
5. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs cost
more, but they last longer and ultimately save you money. If
you live in a dorm, get yourself a lamp and screw in one of
these bulbs. Lamp light is much more pleasant and environmentally efficient than overhead dorm lighting.
6. Walk, bike, and limit your use of a car. Most campuses
are very pedestrian friendly and many college towns offer
good public transportation and bike paths. Ask yourself if you
really need a car as a college student, because if you can get
by without one, you can save a good deal of money on gas,
repairs, and overpriced student car insurance. If you do own a
car, try to use it as little as you can.
7. Buy green. Buy recycled products whenever you can,
especially paper. Buy environmentally safe cleaning products
as well. Some of these products cost more—but many don't,
or the price difference is negligible.
8. Carry a water bottle. Think of how many bottles of water
get consumed on a campus every day. Save waste and
money and carry a refillable bottle. If the tap water on your
campus is questionable, buy large containers of waters to refill
your bottle. [Or try investing in a Brita® pitcher.]
9. Use refillable binders instead of notebooks. This is a
simple way to save waste. If you want to save your notes after
the semester is over, take them out of the binder and staple
them. Or you can go electronic and take all of your notes on a
laptop.
10. Buy used clothing. Lots of students do this to save
money, but it's also a great thing to do for the environment.
Reusing clothes decreases the use of resources to make
clothing and puts a dent in the problem of worldwide sweatshops.
11. Remember kids: Green is the new black. So, be cool, be
smart, and be earth conscious. In the words of Vanilla Ice:
―Word to your mother‖ earth.

Health and Fitness: Avoiding the “Freshman 15”
by Marissa Hoffman
Eating healthy and staying fit is never easy in a college environment. Always being on the go, late study nights, and early
classes mean it‘s not always easy to keep track of your
healthy habits. Try these healthy meal options and easy exercise tips to keep from gaining the ―Freshmen 15."
HEALTHY OPTIONS
Breakfast
Skipping breakfast does not help to keep off the weight. Instead, it leaves you lethargic and unable to concentrate in your
classes. Before heading off to your eight a.m. class, stop by
the cafeteria and try one of these quick and healthy breakfast
options!
English muffin topped with low-fat cottage cheese and a
small container of orange juice
Low-fat yogurt with apple slices and a small glass of 100
% juice
Instant oatmeal with 8 ounces of skim milk and a small
box of raisins
Snacks
Snacking healthy throughout the day can help to keep your
energy up.
String cheese
Graham cracker squares
Fresh fruit/veggies
Lunch
Sandwiches are easy to grab, but some sandwiches are better
than others.
Tuna on a wrap (not tuna salad)
Grilled cheese and tomato
Grilled chicken on a whole-wheat bun
Supper
Supper in the cafeteria is a social event. Salads are great, but
you don‘t want to be the only one eating them every night to
stay slim. Try these other healthy cafeteria options.
Tacos and fajitas without sour cream and cheese
Cheese or vegetable pizza
Brown rice and steamed veggies sprinkled with soy sauce
Dessert
Indulging in that chocolate cake or cookie every night will potentially pack on those pounds, but not letting yourself have
sweets can lead to binge eating. Here are some healthy desserts that will keep your sweet tooth in check.
Frozen yogurt or low-fat ice cream
Low-fat decaffeinated cappuccino
Fresh fruit
TVL Titans: The sport’s year in review
by Bryan Aungst
The 2008-2009 school year could rightly be adorned with
the title the “Year of Champions.” To date, Greenwood has netted
itself three Tri-Valley League championships, with the potential for
boys and girls track to both be contenders for their titles.
Let‟s start our review with a look back to the fall. The first
TVL title to become the possession of Greenwood this year was field
hockey. A killer year for the girls brought them a stellar record
(undefeated in the TVL), and not only the TVL title but also the coveted title of PECO champs. The field hockey girls finished up their
season with a strong run in the District 3 Tournament.
The next Tri-Valley League title to be bestowed upon
Greenwood was earned by the soccer team. Strong all around play
and cooperation granted the „Cats not only the TVL title, but the
PECO title as well. The boys soccer
team made a great District playoff
run, going further than any other
soccer team from Greenwood has
gone in the past decade.
And with that, the fall went
out. Seasons changed, as they often
do, and winter rolled around with
both the boys and girls basketball
teams on the hunt. The girls fared
well showing great leadership and
potential for upcoming seasons.
The Greenwood boys basketball
team have thus far been the big story of
the year. Swiping up PECO and TVL
titles like they were going out of style, the
boys thundered into the postseason like a
herd of water buffalo. They dominated in
Districts and claimed the District 3 A title
at the Giant Center in Hershey. The boys
then proceeded to make a late States run,
making it to the Elite 8 round.
And so that brings us to now.
Four sports are going on here in this season we call spring. Baseball, softball, and
boys and girls track. As these seasons are not yet over, we don‟t
know what titles may or may not be won. Girls track looks promising to take the League, and boys track has the potential to do well
also. Only time will tell what these spring sports will produce in the
terms of trophies.
As of now, Greenwood has three TVL titles and three
PECO titles on the year. With the potential to take a few more
championships, our school is looking at posting a year of unprecedented recognition. We should be proud of our sports teams‟ accomplishments. Great seasons everyone, and best of luck next year. Go
seniors!

Nothing to Do This Summer?
by Nichole Fry
If you find that you are bored this summer, you could always try something new. Here are a few suggestions:
Have a movie night with a few of your friends.
Get a job to earn a little cash for next year.
Make a scrapbook of the things you did over summer
break.
Go outside and plant a garden.

Police ticket noisy elementary school
Fitness Day prompts neighbor's complaint to Texas authorities
updated 8:39 p.m. ET, Tues., April 14, 2009
SAN ANTONIO - A fed-up Texas homeowner has
gotten a noise citation issued against his neighbor — an elementary school.
Police in suburban Universal City say they had to issue the citation after Butch Armstrong complained about the
noise coming from Olympia Elementary School during the
school's Family Fitness Day on March 20. Principal Terri LeBleu says the school had already built a fence, removed loudspeakers and installed noise-reducing backing on basketball
goals in response to Armstrong's previous complaints.
According to a police report, Armstrong told an officer
that "police, fire, ambulances and the (Air Force) training jets
are not unreasonable, but the noise coming from the elementary school was."
A court date for the citation has been set for May 12.
Cops: Woman taped boyfriend’s dog to fridge
20-year-old charged with felony cruelty after hanging canine upside down
updated ET, Fri.., April 17, 2009
BOULDER, Colo. - Police say a Colorado woman
wrapped her boyfriend's dog in packing tape and stuck the
animal upside down to a refrigerator because he wouldn't get
rid of it.
Abby Toll was arrested Tuesday after police said she
got into a fight with her boyfriend. She was charged with felony
cruelty, drug possession and other counts and is free on
$12,500 bond. She has declined to comment.
Toll's 21-year-old boyfriend, Bryan Beck, faces lesser
charges including a misdemeanor cruelty count.
Police say Toll, 20, used packing tape to bind the
legs, snout and tail of Beck's dog, Rex, a Japanese breed
called a Shiba Inu. She told police she
stuck the dog to the refrigerator because
she was angry Beck wanted to keep it.
Rex was taken to a shelter and will be
put up for adoption.
UFO hoax draws fines, community service
flares, helium balloons fooled
public but got two N.J. men in
trouble
updated 11:06 a.m. ET, Wed.,
April 8, 2009
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J.
- Two New Jersey men who
staged a UFO hoax will have
more earthly pursuits, such as
picking up trash from the side of
the road.
A judge fined Chris Russo, of Morris Plains, and Joe
Rudy, of Chester Township, $250 each and ordered them to
perform 50 hours of community service.
Authorities say the pair triggered a flurry of 911 calls
when they lit road flares tied to helium balloons and released
them in central New Jersey in January and February.
The men said they did it to trick people who believe in
UFOs. They posted details of their exploits on a Web site on
April Fools' Day.
The prosecutor charged them with disorderly conduct,
saying the balloons could have interfered with air traffic and
posed a potential fire hazard
Driving instructor drunk during lesson
updated 9:09 p.m. ET, Thurs., April 16, 2009
NEWBURYPORT, Massachusetts - A driving instructor who police say was drunk while giving someone a driving
lesson can stay out of jail but will lose his license for a year.
Daniel Winsky, 53, of Salem was convicted Thursday
of operating under the influence while giving a lesson from the
passenger seat of a car. He was sentenced to 18 months probation but won't be a licensed driver for one year.
Winsky was not behind the wheel during the December 2007 lesson, but prosecutors say he was in control of the
passenger side brakes in the specially-fitted car and also
moved the wheel during the lesson.
Police pulled Winsky over shortly after a convenience
store clerk smelled alcohol on his breath, then saw him enter
the auto school's car. Winsky claimed he was not drunk during
the lesson.

Culture Shock: John Mayer had it all wrong
by Alexander J. Troup
―So we‘ll keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change.‖
Sound familiar? This line from John Mayer‘s ―Waiting
on the World to Change‖ from his 2006 Continuum album
helped to bring Mayer success as the top Male Pop Vocalist of
2006 by carrying his album to the top of the charts. Hundreds
of thousands of people across the country sat and listened
through their iPods to these lyrics, thinking, ―Yes, I‘ll just wait
for everything to get better.‖
News flash: Things aren‘t getting better. Sure, you‘ve
probably heard that our economy is in a horrible downward
spiral. You‘ve heard of some distant war being fought somewhere in Africa…or is it Asia? You‘re not really sure, but it
doesn‘t matter, right? It‘s thousands of miles away in a country
that you can‘t even pronounce, so why should you care? Why
should you care that 6.1 million people in the world today are
living with HIV or AIDS? Why should you care that 18% of the
population of Africa is infected with HIV? Why should you care
that in 2007 the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency estimated
that over 50,000 people were trafficked into the U.S. annually
as sex, domestic, garment, and agricultural slaves? Why
should you care that every year 3.5 million Americans are
homeless (39% of them being under 18)? Why should you
care that American corporate powerhouses cheat third-world
countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars, raping
their natural resources while we remain completely unaware of
it? Because we, as a generation, need to realize that situations in the world aren‘t getting any better. We need to pull
our heads out of the ground and stop being ignorant to the
world around us. While we sit and worry about who‘s getting
voted out of American Idol next, or what fight will break out
next between Lauren and Heidi on The Hills, a person dies of
malaria every 30 seconds in Africa. Why is it that we could
care less about this tragedy, among the thousands of others
occurring all over the world every day?
The answer is simple: We‘re petty, needy, and materialistic. We complain about schoolwork, cost of gas, slow internet, and traffic delays, when the reality is, we have it easy.
People all over the world spend 16 hours a day hand-sewing
clothing for mere pennies for survival. Genocide-avowed armies in Africa move from one country to another, for the sake
of ethnic cleansing. The most disturbing part about this information is that we as a society, don‘t care. No one wants to
hear it, but it‘s true. We go about our daily lives oblivious to
other people‘s suffering. Until we can transcend our ability to
care more about what new insults Simon Cowell dishes out
than human beings being extorted as illegal slaves, this world
is not going to change. John Mayer was right in saying,
―Some day our generation is gonna rule the population.‖ Now,
it‘s up to us as to how we will do so. Are we just going to sit
idly by and watch the world go up in smoke? The decision is
ours, to take action, or look down.
The first step in taking action is to inform yourself of
international crises. For more information, please visit the

Believing
by Darren Young
As kids we all believe that we can do anything we want. It doesn‘t matter how simple or complex. We just want to do it and
know we can. It could be playing in a state championship or even saving the world. When we grow up we start to lose that
kind of thinking. We start to believe that everything bad is going to happen. Any underdog that comes out on top says, ―All that
we did was believed in ourselves and each other.‖ I bet you when Stanford, a 41-point underdog, beat USC #1 in the country
they were thinking the same way; we believed in each other and ourselves. That is just like us. We are a 30-point underdog,
according to some people, and Millersburg is 2nd in our division. So, all we have to do is play our best and believe in each
other‘s ability to play the game. After that we will come out on top. So, do you believe?
