relieved by Dylan Lammers.
Senior baseball player, Jacob
Langston, commented about his
last high school game that he will
play at Rent One Park. “Both this
year and last year, we have had
the privilege to play at Rent One
Park. The result of the game did
not end up as I had wished, but it
was another great experience and
is something that I will not soon
forget.”
Coach Marc Palmer commented,
“This is a great experience for our
players. It is something that they
will talk about for the rest of their
lives.”
After the game, the Eagles
came together for team pictures.
A summer baseball team that was
in attendance, coached by Ricky
Pearl, was invited down to the
Minors’ field to take pictures with
the Vienna Eagles.

Deep Thoughts
By Daniel Kerley
“For quite some time, I have always been wondering where the
school elevator is located. I have finally, after 4 years, been able
to deduce that the elevator is only accessible to the teachers and
faculty. I still, however, don’t know why Mr. Hill won’t give me
a refund on those tickets I bought freshman year.”
“Have you ever been standing in line in the cafeteria and thought
how awesome it would be if for one day they served lunch at
the end of the line? Well you shouldn’t think that because it
diverts your attention from the people who are cutting in front
of you.”

By Kassidy Shoemaker
It was a beautiful day, Thursday, April
23, for the class of 2009 to go to a St. Louis
Cardinal game, during the PSAE and ACT
test taking days. It was sunny and very
warm.
“I had so much fun at the game! It gave
me a chance to hang out with all of my
friends outside of school and see an exciting
game!” Shianna Little explained right after
the awesome experience.
The Cardinals played the New York Mets
and the Cardinals totally dominated. The
score was a phenomenal 12 - 8 to take the
Cardinal’s to the top. Albert Pujols with

VHS Talon sponsor gets caught
eating out of trash can
By Cassie Martin
Desperate. That’s what Mrs. Clayton was
when she went to work one day and realized
she didn’t know where she was getting her
food. Most people would think of the vending
machine, maybe driving to the store, or
possibly asking her fellow staff members to
loan her some money, but this extraordinary
Mrs. Clayton decides to search the trash can for
food because Josh Stafford would not go out to
lunch with her.

right before we graduate. It’s a once in a
lifetime experience,” commented Ashley

for working so hard these past four years”
principal, Mr. Harner, said about the
Seniors’ last year at Vienna High School
coming to an end soon.
teacher comes up with a better idea, the trash
can! I can kind of see her point, I mean it IS
free.
All of the teacher drama started when Mrs.
Clayton wanted to go out to lunch with Mr.
Josh Stafford. Josh rejected her and Mrs.
Clayton, who was left hungry and alone,
decided that her only other option is to go to
the dreaded school cafeteria.
The “school cafeteria” is a very scary
and dark place for most teachers to attend.
They are surrounded by many students when
their lunch break is the only time they have
to escape! Mrs. Clayton walks slowly to the
lunch line and she then finds that it is too little
too late. All of the food was gone!
Worried and confused, Mrs. Clayton turns
her head and that’s when all her stress and
anxiety vanishes. There it was, with its light
blue shade and the thin black plastic liner...
the trash can.
Two Talon staff members watch in disgust as their
sponsor devours her lunch from the trash can.
VHS holds Olympiad
for grade schools
By Sara Jennings
The Jonas Brothers have entered the
building! Squealing and laughter filled the halls
of VHS as high school students impersonating
the famous band of brothers entered the grade
school Olympiad. Each year VHS hosts the
Olympiad for the younger students who attend
Buncombe, Vienna, New Simpson Hill, and
Cypress grade schools.
The Olympiad is designed for 5th-8th
graders and allows them to participate in little
activities. The activities are based on what they
have learned, or by using some of their skills
they have aquired during school.
One of the games they played was where
they had to guess how many skittles were in a
jar. Also they built a straw man, a bridge and a
catapulted an egg that could be protected with
only gum and bread.
They also had some students from VHS
dress up as certain characters for the contestants
to guess. The students who helped were Bobby
Hoffman, Austin Adams, Patrick Daum, Daniel
Kerley, Dashia Marr, Jacob Lane, Drew Walsh,
Sean Fitzgerald, Laeytn Field, Kelin Field,
Hannah Little, Cory Belsher, Caroline Bremer,
and Jason Sullivan.
The VHS students were judged by looking like
the characters and their willingness to perform.
All the VHS volunteers had to read a paragraph
about the person they were representing.
The Olympiad was made up by Mrs. Sarah
Holhubner, a VHS math teacher. She made up
all the games and activites. She also hand picked
the VHS performers.

PSAE field trips take place with VHS stud e n t s
By Kirsten Trambley
While the Vienna High School
junior class members were taking
their Prairie State Achievement
Exams (also known as PSAE’s) on
April 22 and 23, all other students
in grades nine, ten, and twelve had
to leave the school as to let the
juniors test in peace and quiet.
On Wednesday, April 22, the
freshmen took the EXPLORE
test in the school’s Commons
Area. On Thursday, the uttermost
underclassmen spent a day at
Shawnee Community College
testing and seeing a show in the
Educational Center.
The sophomores traveled to
Shawnee Community College on
Wednesday to take the ASSET test,
the exam that permits or holds a
student back from being admitted
into college level classes while still
in high school, which can include
the dual-credit classes offered at
VHS. Thursday the sophomores
stayed at Vienna High School to
take the PLAN test, a Pre-ACT test
that will help them be able to set
their future goals. After that, they
went to the Cache River Wetlands
Center. There they were split into
three groups; two of which went
to clean up trails along the river,
and one which planted trees, laid
mulch, and picked up litter at the
Wetlands Center to prepare for an
event to take place later that week
at the location.
On Wednesday, the seniors jobshadowed community members in
action at work. Senior Desiree Hill
said, “It was a great experience to
work under my mom when we job
shadowed on Wednesday, April 23.
She is a really inspiring person, and
I love her work attitude.” Desiree
went on to say that “I was not
looking forward to it, but it was
awesome to see her at work!”
On Thursday, the senior class
took a trip to St. Louis to see the
Cardinals professional baseball
team in action. Fortunately for
most of the fans, the Cardinals won.
Loura Wiggs, a moderate Cardinals
fan, enjoyed the game because
“(Albert) Pujols, first baseman for
the Cards, hit three home runs.
Sophomores Sarah Cain and Maggie Cox pick up limbs along the Cache River near the
Wetlands Center.
After that, the New York Mets,
the opposing team, got scared and
walked Pujols the next time that he
was up to bat!”
Although the juniors might not
have had the most fun testing, the
other classes definitely enjoyed
their time while taking a short break
from Vienna High School!
Chelsie Racey starts cleaning the large pile of limbs blocking the path at the Cache
River before anyone else attempts.
Aaron McDonald is pulling a pile of fallen trees out of the way on the path at the trail

many restrictions.
Who do you admire the
most?
To be honest, there isn’t a specific
person that comes to mind. There
are many people that come to
mind but no one in specific.
What would you do on your
perfect day?
A whole day riding four wheelers,
in the rain! Kind of original but it
sounds like a super-duper-crazyamazingly fun day to me lol.
If you could be any celebrity,
who would it be ?
Rihanna, I’d like to get a lil revenge
on that old boy Chris Brown.
Are you ready to graduate ?
Absolutely, I’m ready for something new and exciting.
What is your favorite part
about being a senior?
That I get to graduate, and that
I get to start my life with the Air
Force.
Who do you admire the
most?
My step-dad. He has had the
biggest influence on my life. He
knows what it means to be a
man.
What would you do on your
perfect day?
Play a couple good sets of tennis
with my best friends , and go
fishing and have a huge fish fry
with my family.
If you could be any celebrity,
who would it be ?
Rafeal Nadal, because he is the
best tennis player in the world
and he is awesome.
Are you ready to graduate ?
Yes and no . Yes, so I can get on
with my life, and no, because I will
miss all my friends.

What are your plans for summer
vacation?
I’m going to a church camp in Michigan
called Wipeout with my friend Memory.
Are you a leader or a follower?
I consider myself a leader because I do my
own thing most of the time.
If you could live this year over, what
would you do differently?
I wouldn’t change anything because I don’t
want to do this year over.
What three words would describe
your school year?
Long, stupid, and boring.
Have you changed this year?
I don’t play as many sports as I did in grade
school. Now that I’m in high school all I
play is golf.
Which senior will you miss the most?
I will miss my sister the most because I
won’t get to see her as much since she will
be leaving home for college soon and we
won’t get to talk as much.
What are your plans for summer
vacation?
Maybe go to Pennsylvania and visit my
great grandmother and go out on the boat
a lot!
Are you a leader or a follower?
I would say a leader because I like to do
my own thing, but sometimes I do find
myself following!
If you could live this year over, what
would you do differently?
I would have definitely tried harder in
math class.
What three words would describe
your school year?
Oh my gosh!
Have you changed this year?
Yes, I think I have because my point of
view on things is a lot different.
Which senior will you miss the most
next year?
Cory Belsher. I love that boy, he’s so crazy!
Next year will be boring without him.
What are your plans for summer
vacation?
Nothing interesting, probably just rock
with my homies and all that jazz.
Are you a leader or a follower?
Definitely a leader because I’m my own
person and a genius so why should I follow
other people?
If you could live this year over, what
would you do differently?
I would try harder in school and make my
relationships with my friends better.
What three words would describe
your school year?
Totally. Not. Awesome.
Have you changed this year?
Yeah, some people say that I’ve gone Emo
but I don’t know why though.
Which senior will you miss the most
next year?
My sister Desiree, because she is my homie
for life.

Follower, because I don’t like to be a leader.
If you could live this year over, what would
do differently?
FFA week, so I could do more stuff to help the
FFA.

year? Fun, exciting and tiring.
How have you changed this year?
I haven’t changed much this year.

Drake sanders
What are your plans for summer vacation?
Going to Florida with my family, playing
baseball and basketball, and hanging out with
my friends.
Are you a leader or follower?
I think a leader, because if you are a follower
you might be following a leader that is not doing
the right thing.
If you could live this year over, what would
do differently?
Nothing, you learn from your mistakes.
What three words would describe your school
year?
Lots of fun.
How have you changed this year?
I don’t know, you would have to ask my friends
or family.
Which senior(s) will you miss most next year?
My sister, because if I didn’t say her she would
probably get mad at me.
What are your plans for summer vacation?
I am going to South Carolina and Florida for
about a week. Then just hanging out with friends,
baseball, swimming, and playing basketball.
Are you a leader or follower?
I believe you must first be a follower at things
before you become a leader.
If you could live this year over, what would
do differently?
Not too much, probably work and study more
than I have. I don’t have any regrets though.
What three words would describe your school
year?
Challenging, fun, and hectic.
How have you changed this year?
I’ve changed clothes and hair styles every now
and then.
Which senior(s) will you miss most next
year?
The homecoming king, it’s Bobby... enough
said. Cory Ross, and our races to school in the
morning. Reagan Summers just because I make
her mad at me all the time.

Senioritis Results:
Mostly A’s, you’re at the worst case of Senioritis, Stage 3! You better skip another day of school and see the
doctor ASAP! You don’t see the reason for school and have more important things to do.
Mostly B’s, you love to go to school to socialize and learn, but every now and then a break would be great.
Mostly C’s, you would die for school because there is nothing you love more and it’s exciting for you every
minute of everyday, beginning to end!

Class of 2009: What is your Favorite Memory from VHS?
John Alford: I’ll always remember
digging through the cafeteria’s
garbage looking for Chasity’s
necklace.
Paige Alford: My favorite memory
was when Mr. Giffin was in the
teacher lip sync and was acting like
Justin Timberlake.
Amy Alsip: My trip to London
and Paris this year with the VHS
Globetrotter holds many fun
and exciting memories. Also,
participating in the school play
“Guys and Dolls” was a lot of fun and
a good bonding experience with
friends.
Ashton Barger:
My favorite
memory would be the Nursing and
Anatomy trip to the Cadaver Lab.
Allsion Bean: My sophomore
year during boys’ basketball.
Especially the sectional games at
McLeansboro.
Shanelle Beasley: The time I
was in Cara’s homecoming skit
and had to be a flower child that
did an interpretive dance. It was
embarrassing then, but now it just
makes me laugh!
Benny Bessette:
When Cory
Belsher beat up Chris Nichols.
Winter Choinski: Being involved
with all the activities here at VHS.
Patrick Daum: I’d have to say the
times when Ethan, Mel, Cody, and
I went to Casey’s and made videos
on my flip on the way to the gas
station for lunch.
Chase Deaton: Probably every
homecoming week.
Josh Dippie: There are so many
that I could not choose just one, but
the lip syncs come to mind.
Sean Fitzgerald: When Zach Elliot
ran into the bleachers during the
dizzy bat competition.
Bryce Ford: When I was in JILG with
Jon Goodman, Ted Craig, Julieann
Vancleve, and Devon Morris.
Josh Ford: There are so many good
memories; it is hard to choose just
one. If I had to, it would probably
be either when Zach Elliot did the
dizzy bat or when the teachers had
their lip-sync.
Jon Goodman: It would have to
be when I helped the sophomores
beat the teachers in the tug-ofwar.
Adam Haney: Freshman year,
sitting at the lunch table at noon
with Ted Craig, Sierra Saunders,
Andrea Stepter, & some others,
Ted was playing with unopened
chocolate milk and squeezed too
hard. It shot probably 4 feet in the
air and landed all over Sierra &
Andrea. Sierra had on a brand new
white shirt.
Desiree Hill: The Red Sea. That’s
all I’m gonna say. And slipping on
the ice in the lower parking lot. My
pants were soaked!
Bobby Hoffmann: Definitelywhen
Zach Elliot ran into the bleachers
during the dizzy bat race.
Daniel Kerley:
My favorite
memory is when Ted tried to do a
toe touch and ripped his pants.
Shianna Little: There are so many
to choose from but I would have
to say one of my favorites was
homecoming week our freshman
year. It was something new and
Lawrence &
Bean
Insurance
exciting and we dominated for
being freshman.
James Metzler: The first time the
VHS tennis team won a match.
Michelle Akins: Either when Zach
Elliot ran into the bleachers, or
watching 13 boys dress like Dolly
Parton and dance to “9-5.”
Katie Mitchell: In Cara Otte’s
homecoming skit when Shanelle
Beasley came out as that tree
hugger chick. It was funny. I could
not stop laughing for anything.
Sharrol Norton: I loved my
sophomore year when I was a
part if Vienna Idol. It was a great
experience.
Cara Otte: I would have to say my
homecoming skit. I had some of
my best friends making a fool of
themselves in front of the school.
That was awesome of them and
hilarious to watch.
Jessica Pender: I have a lot,
actually. I remembered Zach Elliot
participating in Homecoming week
and running into the bleachers
repeatedly. I also remember Cara
Otte becoming “One-eyed Otte”
Ashton Rambo-Sharp:
My
favorite VHS memory is probably
the first time I got a detention. I
was in Mr. Fairless’s room and a
couple of boys were sitting in the
front row shooting spit balls behind
them. Mr. Fairless like flipped out
on them. FREAKING HILARIOUS!
Another one might be the night on
the metro with all of my friends in
London when we met a burlesque
dancer that was hitting on Rebecca
Johnson by telling us she had a nice
butt! Then she told us the phrases:
“You’re doin’ my head in...” and
“Minging!”
Corey Rood: The day I met my
girlfriend Kassey McDonald
Alex Shelton: I love track. Every
time I get to compete, the whole
world falls away and my race is all
that matters.
Kassidy Shoemaker: To be honest
my favorite memory was this year’s
prom and after prom. It was so fun,
and seeing Ben Yates get a bloody
nose on the blow up obstacle course
was so funny.
Clayton Stevens: Homecoming
week, my freshman year, when
Zach Elliot fell into the bleachers
during the dizzy bat competition.
Reagan Summers: I will always
remember
my
sophomore
year when the boys basketball
team made it to sectionals in
McLeansboro. I’ve never seen so
many students with so much
school spirit.
Will Thomas: There are so many
that it’s hard to pick. All four
homecoming weeks were very
memorable, but my favorite was
this homecoming week during
Andrea’s skit when Ashley Schultz
came out as a nerd and laughed
hysterically which made me laugh
really hard.
Hilary Wright: Definitely lunch.
Sitting at the table with the boys
and talking about everything under
the sun. Also being involved with
tech team. There were so many
unforgettable moments.
