C is for Changes at JHS By Monica Carl
Jeannette Senior High
School is starting the 20142015 school year off with
some new and exciting
changes.
The most popular change is
the JHS Coffee Shoppe.
Students and faculty are
permitted to visit the JHS
Coffee Shoppe during breakfast and Enrichment Period.
Drinks that can be bought in
the Shoppe include coffee,
hot chocolate, French vanilla
cappuccinos, and hot tea.
Other food and items for
sale include candy, honey
buns, muffins, cookies, and
chocolate covered pretzels.
The cookies and delicious
baked goods are made by
students in Mrs. Gongaware’s Baking class. All food
and drinks at the Shoppe are
sold for a $1.00 or less.
When asked what his favor-
ite thing about the Coffee
Shoppe is, Sophomore Gio
Vonne Sanders replied,
“Getting hot chocolate.”
Due to the fact this is a new
addition to the high school,
there are still things that are
a work in progress.
On possible improvements,
Sophomore Olivia Sirnic
cited, “Their coffee because
sometimes they do not make
it right. Everything else (on
the menu) is flame.”
Although the Coffee Shoppe
is new, they have a strong
following. When asked how
many drinks are sold per
day, Mr. Onderick, the
Learning Support teacher
and co-sponsor for the JHS
Coffee Shoppe, estimated,
“On average, if I had to
guess, thirty cups a day.”
Mrs. Gongaware, the Family
and Consumer Science
teacher and co-sponsor with
Students working during 8th period to prepare for Shoppe hours during EP.
Mr. Onderick, explains how
the funds raised from the
JHS Coffee Shoppe will provide educational grants for
teachers to fund new projects
and materials for their
classes.

Jayhawks Reaching Out
This fall, the Jayhawks (students,
faculty, and administration alike)
have taken an active role in helping
the community and fighting for important causes.
While we began the school year
with a surprising ice bucket challenge (pictured right), student
athletes continued Jayhawk outreach through volunteer work at
The Miracle League Baseball Field.
Superintendent Dr. Hutcheson accepts his invitation to the ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge to spread awareness and fight Lou Gehrig’s Disease at the high
school’s first pep assembly of the year.

Homecoming: Looking Back and Looking Ahead By Olivia Vandyke
The Jayhawks began their
Homecoming weekend with their traditional Friday pep assembly. During the
pep assembly, each couple performed a
dance while walking across the stage to
a song of their choice, played by the
band. The shy freshmen couple, Chole
Stein and Hunter Yates, walked out and
waved timidly to their song choice,

This years’ Homecoming game
took place on October 10th, 2014. The
homecoming court was announced and
presented on the field at half-time of the
game. The elected Senior Homecoming
Queen was crowned by last year’s returning Homecoming Queen, Monique
Redman, escorted by Jeroen Wolfe.
ning the title of Homecoming Queen also
prompted Redman to consider friends
and loved ones.
“The first thing that I thought of was
about my dad not being there and how
he would be so proud of me. I look forward to crowning this years queen be-
which we chose ourselves.”
The Homecoming Queen announced during Friday night’s half-time
was Senior, Carlee Shifko escorted by
fellow Senior, Chad Painter. Painter
stated, “It was an honor to escort the
queen. It was a fun experience, and i’m
glad that we get to come back next
year.”
Homecoming Queen Shifko
described the friendly relationship
amongst this year’s court members, “It
was an honor and a lot of fun. Everyone
on the court and I would have been
happy for whoever would have won.”
The dance was organized by
Nicole Evangelist, Marissa Lewis, and
Mr.Lawson. The theme of this years
dance was a carnival theme. There were
74 couples that attended the dance this
year. The food for the dance was catered
by Parkwood. The DJ hired for the
dance was Austin Taterek also known
as “Dj Growl.” The students enjoyed
their time sitting with their dates and
enjoying salad, chicken, pasta, and mini
corndogs while talking with friends.
They also were able to have a fun time
on the dance floor dancing to all the
enjoyable song selections of their choice.

crown one of my friends like how mine

The Bird Call reached out to
another Homecoming Queen from
Jeannette’s past, Jewel Burns, who was
crowned in 1990. Burns shared the historical significance of the 1990 win, “It
felt amazing to win because I was the
first African American women to
achieve that. I made history--it was a
big deal back in the day.”
When reflecting on JHS Homecoming of 1990, Burns describes traditions past: “The Senior Court were

School Board Scoop By Tony Mash
Approved or disapproved? The
Jeannette School Board had a lot on the
table for the up-and-coming school year.
The September school board meeting
took place on September 15 at the high
school cafeteria. First on the agenda,
the Jeannette Senior School Board was
introduced to the student athletes of
Jeannette High School that maintained
a 3.5 GPA or higher. These students
stood before the school board members,
administration, and attendees and all
applauded the success of our high
school’s student athletes.
Also, the school board approved
the new addition of the Jeannette Senior
High School Coffee Shoppe, located in
the cafeteria. Students can buy coffee,
hot chocolate, or baked goods during
breakfast and Enrichment Period.
School Board members and attendees
were able to purchase coffee prior to the
start of the meeting from students who
volunteered to run the Shoppe that evening.
Another exciting announcement
at the September school board meeting
was the official approval of the Drama
Club’s production of Hairspray.
Jeannette will be the only school in the
area to perform Hairspray. The produc-
tions will be held on Friday, March 20
and Saturday, March 21 at 7:30 pm.
Also, the Sunday production on March
22 will be at 2:00 pm.
Students are now able to stay
in shape through after school work-outs.
The School Board approved the use of
the weight room on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays under the direction of
Ms. Caravaggio from 2:42-4:15pm.
The September board meeting
also brought the approval of several
field trips. The new gifted program,
taught by Mr. Cameron, World History
teacher, and Mr. Onderick, PAES Lab
instructor, will participate in the Model
UN at Gannon University and The
Chain Reaction Contraption engineering
competition at the Carnegie Science
Center.
Many field trips were approved
during the October school board meeting
as well. A field trip to Carmike Cinemas to see the premier of Mockingjay
will be held Friday, November 21. Any
student who has read the book, passed
the Reading Counts test, and is not on
the restricted list is eligible to attend.
Forty-four spots are available on a first
come, first serve basis. Also, any Junior
or Senior student who has completed
and passed, his/her required Keystone
tests will have the opportunity to attend
a field trip to the Holocaust Museum in
Washington DC. Students will leave the
school for D.C. at 6:00 am and return at
midnight. More information on this trip
is TBA.
The October meeting also
brought the announcement of new after
school programs supported through
grants from The Pennsylvania Department of Education. $400,000 will be
provided to the after school programs
every year for 3 years. The grant will
focus on lessons in testable areas including a robotics club sponsored by the
STEM class.
The next school board meeting
available to the public will be held on
Monday, November 17.
C is for Changes at JHS (Continued) By Monica Carl
Through this process, the
money put into the Shoppe “comes back
for the kids,” she states. This means
new updates for the classrooms and for
the students.
Although the Coffee Shoppe has
already proven successful, Mrs. Gongaware shared that there will be new, upand-coming drinks including green tea
and a new cappuccino machine with
seasonal flavors.

Tennis By Tony Mash
The Jeannette Senior High
School girls’ tennis team has had a
rough season, but have also kept their
spirits high. Sophomore, Jada Morgan,
said, “The season is better than I expected and I enjoy playing with my
friends.”
Members of the team are already looking forward to the 2015 season. Sophomore, Hannah Poth, said, “I
want to be more consistent with returning the ball and improving my serve
next year.”
“Mr. Lawson doesn’t give up
on us and he’s an enjoyable
coach.”
The girls did not record a win
this season; however, Kara Johnston
recorded her first singles victory. When
asked what she can improve on, Kara
said, “I can improve on returning the
opponents serve and not over-hitting the
ball.”
The girls record may not be
what they wanted it to be but the team
had an increase in players from the previous season. Mr. Lawson contributes to
that increase. Mr. Lawson, considerably
the top tennis recruiter in the area, enjoys coaching the tennis team.
Senior Nicole Evangelist said, “I like
how Mr. Lawson doesn’t give up on us
and he’s an enjoyable coach.”
Along with showing support for
the team, Mr. Lawson likes to joke
around with his team. Senior Captain
Shaila Cecchetti said, “I will miss Mr.
Lawson driving us to the away games
and playing his favorite songs on the
radio.” The girls’ tennis team may not
have brought home a championship trophy, but they enjoyed every second they
spent on the court.

Boys’ Soccer By Dylan Corob
While the Jeannette Senior High School
boys’ soccer team has faced many challenges this season, Head Coach Mitchell
Steele has faith in his team, “There is a
lot of young, raw talent for the boys soccer team.” Coach describes his team as
his second family.
The JHS boys’ soccer team has six freshmen, some of which are new to the
sport.
When asked what it’s like to
play soccer for the first time for JHS,
Freshman, Hunter Yates, said, “I was
nervous at first, but now I am confident
and excited to play with the team.”
While there were not many
seniors this year on the boys’ soccer
team, seniors Mark Giaquinto, Tyler
Rugh, and Shawn Poth showed strong
leadership skills on the team. Senior
captains Shawn Poth, Tyler Rugh, and
Junior, Phoenix Brown modeled for underclassmen how the game is played.
Coach Steele described how captains are
not chosen based on seniority alone.
“These leaders had to earn their spot as
captain, as well as Phoenix.”
The feelings of respect between Coach
Steele and the team’s captains are mutual.
Senior Tyler says “I love Coach
Steele, Coach inspires me everyday to be
myself and to be great.” Junior, Phoenix
Brown also expressed feelings of camaraderie with Coach Steele.
Brown commented, “He is easily my favorite soccer coach I have ever
had, I am very proud to have him as a
coach.” Coach Steele opens his home to
the team during big games on TV. During big games at Coach’s house the team
goes over plays and predicts who will
win the big game. While the boys prepare for the big game they interact over
pizza.
Goalie, Shawn Poth, is also
fond of Coach Steele. Poth describes
Coach Steele as very motivated. The
main goal for the boys soccer team is to
make it to the playoffs. Coach Steele
feels really good about this team. For
the JHS boys soccer team this years
record was 0-18. This year was just a
test as coach describes it; a test to see
how well the boys worked together. During the off season, Coach Steele plans, “I
will be working a lot on different plays
and communication drills with the
team.”
The goalie/ senior (Shawn Poth) states
“The team has potential, but we are
young, we need to step up and play our
game.”

coached with the Jeannette Midget Association, and had also cheered in her
high school years and was made Captain. Captains of this year’s squad are

comments on work ahead for the squad,
“We as a squad are off to a good start
but there are certain things we need to
improve.”
Fellow Sophomore and cheerleader, Abbi Kunkle, agrees, “To be able
to get better than previous squads and
still work to improve for the rest of the
season.”
When asked what specific skills
need improved upon, Sophomore Han-
nah Morrison sights, “We need to improve on our stunts to prove we are capable of doing harder skills.”
The squad has many new
stunts this year to wow Jayhawk fans,
including the new “Fallen Angels” stunt.
Squad members Maggie Manolis, Olivia Vandyke, Monica
Carl, and Alex Pohl pose with their pom poms.
Golf By Joey Soles
The legendary Mr. Shifko, Middle School English teacher, is the head
coach of the JHS golf team. Considered
beloved by many Mr. Shifko is a wonderful coach. Sophmore, Brendt Billick,
credits Coach Shifko’s fun attitude and
way of keeping players comfortable as
what makes him an exceptional coach.
In addition to Coach Shifko,
comradery between the players really
set the stage for such a fun and enjoyable season.
With only one senior on the
team, one could have of predicted JHS
would struggle as an immature team.
However, players should not be underestimated based on age alone. Younger
teammates stepped up, and the team
carried themselves well throughout the
season.
Players even assisted Mr. Davis
on his annual field trip to Kistler’s Golf
Course, mentoring younger students as
they played on the course.
JHS golfers model themselves
after the pros when in the game.
Sophmore player, Brendt Billeck, who
was chosen as the team’s MVP for The
Bird Call, looks up to the laid back
style of pro golfer Bubba Watson.
In addition to perfecting their craft, the
squad has also been working to help the
Jeannette community. The girls made
an appearance at the Greensburg Home
Depot on Saturday, October 4, for Kid’s
Craft Day. The squad, along with other
members of the Jeannette Senior High
School Athletic Department, have also
volunteered to assist at The Miracle
League Baseball Field.

W.W.W.W.W.H. World News By Joey Soles
Who? What? When?
Where? Why? How?
What is ISIS? ISIS has been birthed
from the views of Al-Qaida and an AlQaida affiliate. Being an Al-Qaida affiliate, ISIS is a terrorist organization.
Who is leading ISIS? Leading the ISIS
group is believed to be Abu Bakr alBagdadi. Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi is
around 43 years of age. He is said to be
from a religious Sunni Salafi family,
and he has reportedly been kicked out of
Al-Qaida for being too extreme (Sunni
Salafi is what one could call a branch of
Islam).
Where is ISIS? ISIS is compiled of civilians from all over the world. They
bring diverse ethnicities into the group
through recruiting. The ultimate goal,
as of now for ISIS seems to be establishing a new Islamic caliphate throughout
the middle eastern countries.
“Our last message is to the
Americans. Soon we will be
in direct confrontation, and
the sons of Islam have
prepared for such a day. So
watch, for we are with you,
watching.”
- Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi
How are they recruiting? ISIS is rising in numbers. Often, they gain manpower through advanced persuasive
tactics on today’s easy accessible social
media. Those sources of social media
include Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and
many other popular sites.
When will you see ISIS in the news?
With extremist methods, ISIS is constantly terrorizing civilians in the Middle East and threatening western life as
we know it. CNN, as well as other
world news outlets, seem to frequent the
topic of ISIS and the state of the Middle
East. This is important coverage not
only for television ratings, but also to
keep innocent civilians safe and informed. In addition to major news outlets, Jayhawks may hear updates on
ISIS through current events pieces in
Mr. Cameron’s World History course.
Why? Many would consider ISIS’s tactics to be heartless and ruthless.
Without just reason, ISIS continues to
slaughter Jews, Westerners, Muslims,
and anyone not agreeing with their extreme views and stances. Making direct
threats to Westerners is Al-Bagdadi
saying, “Our last message is to the
Americans. Soon we will be in direct
confrontation, and the sons of Islam
have prepared for such a day. So watch,
for we are with you, watching.”

Monthly Mckee Building Reportage: Field Trip to Kistler’s
Writing By Joey Soles, Photography By Tony Mash
This was the nineteenth year
that Mr. Davis, McKee Middle School
boys’ physical education teacher, has
taken the eighth grade boys to Kistler’s
Golf in Jeannette, PA. Every year, Mr.
Davis takes the eighth grade boys to
Kistler’s Golf to hit balls on the driving
range and play par 3. Mr. Davis teaches
golfing skills in his class, and his instruction leads up to this field trip
which one could call the final assessment.
Excellent golfing conditions on Kistler’s Golf Course.
For reasons unknown, the number of
students attending the field trip have
dwindled in recent years. This was the
first year that Mr. Davis let some of the
seventh grade boys attend the trip in
hopes of a better turn out. What The
Bird Call found was that the energy,
excitement, and general good times were
all still present on this repeated trip.
This was also the first year that Mr.
Shifko, McKee Middle English teacher
and JHS golf coach, brought the golf
team to stay the entire day and help out
the youngsters. High school players provided the middle school students with
some great tips to improve their game.
The day started out with the boys pairing up and hitting the driving range,
while the JHS golf team provided excellent examples and insight. Then, it was
off to the main
pavilion to grab
some lunch.
Everybody (The

in the pavilion.
Once
lunch was complete, it was
time for what all of the boys were wait-
ing for: par 3. The boys broke back up
into their groups as a JHS golf member
was assigned to each group. The stakes
were high as the middle school students
were playing best ball on a couple holes
for the chance to win Subway gift cards.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Shifko oversaw everything as the boys took the course.
Mr. Davis coaches the boys on their golf skills.
Unfortunately, The Bird Call
Staff had to leave about fifteen minutes
before everybody was done with par 3.
On the bright side, there could not have
been a better day to be outdoors. With
sunny skies and mild temperatures, all
of the smiles and laughter only made
the day brighter.
