The buzz around Cape Girardeau
for the last few years has been that a
new water-park will be opening in the
summer. This year that rumor has come
true. The Cape Splash Family Aquatic
Center is currently being constructed
and will be opening on Memorial Day
weekend and will be open until Labor
day weekend. It will cost $5 for kids to
enter, and $6 for adults to enter. Summer passes can be purchased for $100
for children and senior citizens and $125
for adults. The park will be open to the
public from 11:00 A.M.-7:00 P.M.
Many students from CHS will be working at the park as lifeguards, cashiers,
and concession workers. There will be
18 guards working on staff at a time and
around 15 to 20 cashiers and concession
workers hired for the summer. Patrick
Watson, the Aquatic Superviser, is looking at hiring 20-30 more guards, and a
Waterpark Lifeguarding Class will be
held in June.
“The park will include two big flume
slides, two smaller slides, a water playground feature, 700 foot lazy river, and
huge splash pad,” said Watson. Adults
and children alike are ecstatic about the
new activities for our growing community.

to assistant principal, Pete Frazier, the
courses offered this year are considered
the core classes. Freshman through junior English classes are offered, as well as
Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Freshman through junior history classes are
being taught, as well. Several math classes
will be offered too. Frazier said, “[The
teachers involved in summer school are]
teachers from the regular school year.”
This summer the school is not offering
a computer class that it has offered in
previous summer schools. Frazier added
the reason for this cut, “The state is only
funding core courses.” Summer school
does stick the school with a pretty big bill.
“But, it is subsidized by the state,” explained Frazier. Between 150-200 students
benefit from the program. Frazier stated
some ways in which the students benefit,
“[It] provides credit recovery, more individual instruction, and a different pace.”
By Dalton Williams
For some summer may mean no more
bells, nagging teachers, or homework. This
might not be the case for others! Summer school this year begins on Thursday,
May 27 and ends on Thursday, June 24.
There are two sessions per day, a morning session, and an afternoon session. The
morning session begins at 7:45 a.m. and
ends at 10:55 a.m. Lunch and breakfast
are offered to all summer school students
between the sessions. The afternoon session starts at 11:25 a.m. and ends at 2:35
p.m. Bus transportation is provided by
the school before the morning session,
between the morning and afternoon sessions, and after the afternoon session.
Summer school is a credit recovery program for students who fall behind in their
credits during the regular school year.
Through summer school, students are able
to make up one full credit per summer.
A student is able to take two half credit
courses in a summer, but the courses can
not be the exact same course. According

Trapped In School!
The school has been surrounded by zombies. You are trapped! You cannot escape
until someone comes to rescue you. However, you do have food, water, and electricity. Faced with this hypothetical situation, the Tiger staff wanted to know, if you were
trapped in CHS, where you would want to be trapped? Who would you want to be
trapped with? Why would you want to be with these people? Why would you want to
be trapped in that room? Here are some answers from CHS students and and staff.
By Hillary Caldwell and Alan Jarvis
Zach Boerboom- Junior
“[I would want to be trapped in] the coaches’ office with Andrew Williams, Josh
Compas, Kevin Casasola, and David Watts because [there are] TVs, couches,
computers, lots of food, and sports
equipment if we get bored.”
Abigail Beckwith- English Teacher
Zach Boerboom wants to
play with buddies rather than
attack zombies.
“[I would want to be trapped in] the library, [so] I can read. Hmm, I don’t want to
be trapped with anyone.”
Molly Kinder- Freshman
“[I would want to be trapped in] the cafeteria with Andrew Hileman because he is
good looking, and Dr. Cowan because we are best friends.”
Julie Stausing- English Teacher
Rachel Irvin- Junior
“[I would want to be trapped in] the library with Mrs. Byrne. We can read the [most
exciting] parts of books to each other!”
Brooke Wilke- Junior
“[I would be trapped in] Mrs. Johnson’s room (Fashion Strategies). [I could] make
clothes. [I would want to be trapped with] Mrs. Beasley because she is my favorite
teacher.”
“I would like to be trapped in Mrs. Altenthal’s
room because I could cook stuff. I would want
Mr. Bradshaw there because he could beat up evil
people who try and break in. Plus, he is interesting
to talk to. Also, my friends.”
Rachel Irvin’s ready to be trapped in a room
with a zombie killing teacher.

Ad elicits disappointment
with board president
I wish to express my dissatisfaction with the president of the Cape
Public School Board. I feel that his
choice to appear in an ad for a parochial school was a poor one. (The ad
was placed in the May edition of the
TBY, an inserted publication in the
Southeast Missourian newspaper).
It seems to show a lack of respect
and support for the schools he
serves. As school board president,
Mr. Paul Nenninger is supposed to
be an example for the other board
members, faculty of the district, and
students of the district. The example
he seems to be setting is to promote
another high school rather than the
public high school he campaigned
to serve.
I respect that Nenninger has pride
for his former school and received a
good education there, but there are
other ways to show pride for that
school without offending the people
of the schools that he currently
serves.
I would like Nenninger and the
public to know that teachers,
parents, and the public are not the
only people noticing the conflict
of interestes of the current school
board president. Students are noticing what is going on. Students are
paying attentnion and feel that this
was not right.

Juniors--Okay, let’s face it, we’re almost done too. The clock is ticking down on
these four crazy years. We should make next year special because we only get
one senior year. Why not make a list of things to do or to experience before
we “kick the high school bucket at CHS.”
Seniors Matt Zlokovich and Brittany Graham offered some of suggestions
for us to do through out the next year. Graham stated what she and some of
her friends did to make their year last. “On the weekends, we took little mini
vacations (Carbondale, St. Louis, etc.) and had dinner and went shopping.”
Zlokovich added, “My friends and I enjoyed playing Indian ball at B.I. Howard’s house.” Both Zlokovich and Graham believe that becoming involved
is important when making memories during high school. Graham recommended, “At least go to one dance, attend a lot of sporting events, and have
fun, because you’ll never get another chance to relive it. You’ll look back on
some things and wished you would have. You’ll always wonder...” Zlokovich
agreed with Graham, “Everyone needs to participate in at least one musical.
These are great ways to make friends and form long-lasting relationships.”
Both of these seniors were involved in many things during their four years
and found activities that they loved being a part of and the memories that
came with them. Graham stated, “I love choir and all the extra activities that
come with it.”
Make this year last, and make as many memories as possible because it will
fly by. Don’t be the one wishing you did something.
So juniors, here are some ideas for a bucket list for next year:

All Night Long
By: Tomia Lane
The Cape Central Senior 2010 All Night
Party is on Sunday, May 16. The party starts
at 10:30 p.m. and breaks up at 5:00 a.m.
- after breakfast. Senior President Annette
Hammond encouraged seniors to attend the
graduation party, “It’s our last time together
as the Class of 2010 and our parents have
worked really hard to throw this party in
honor of us and our graduation.”
The All Night Party includes a dance
contest, drawings every 30 minutes for cash
and other prizes, and a ‘Casino’ where grads
can earn fake money to bid on auction items:
mini fridges, TVs, Cardinal tickets, a laptop,
a Wii, a GPS system (Garmin), and more.
Hypnotist Tony Ziegler will mesmerize willing
volunteers and the audience members. There
are a few surprise events too.
Tickets are on sale until May 12. The $5
‘ticket’ is actually a ‘Remember When 2010’
t-shirt which must be worn to the party for
entrance. Students must also bring a student
ID, and take a breathalyzer test to get in.
No dates: this is for CHS seniors only. The
party will be held in the St. Andrew Lutheran
Church Activity Center at the corner 804
North Cape Rock (on the corner of Cape
Rock and Kingshighway).

From freshman to senior, everybody transforms over their high school career. Puberty happens to everyone, from awkward stages to
maturity. Students who hang out around their friends may not notice people gradually and constantly change. Factor in clubs, sports,
friends, and modifying fashion, and people are bound to change. Unfortunately, people don’t get to see these transformations all at once.
Fortunately for you, we’ve found some willing victims to submit some before and after pictures. Enjoy!

us where we are. We just continue to work hard and

During district play, which position will be hardest to

catcher will be hardest because you have to be flexible
and be able to move quickly to either block balls in
the dirt or catch pop-ups.” Coach Williams said,
“All positions are hard, but pitcher and catcher are
probably the toughest physically.” A. Williams said, “I
think pitcher is the hardest position to play. You need
a good mental aspect, be able to control the game, and
go at your tempo.”

questions:
Q. How is the team
doing?
We have had some
losses. Won some fantastic games.
Q. Are we going to do well in districts?
A. We are a young team, a team that is growing
and maturing into a more accomplished team.
Q. Is this a strong team this year?
A. We have had our ups and downs - kind’ve
been a split season. Losing Pablo has really hurt
us, but the younger people have really stepped
up. Sam Stahly is one in particular (who has
stepped up).
Q. What do you think about the new players
who have joined the team?
A. Ryan Watts and Pablo have really risen up
the ranks. The others have progressed as well.
Horton and Kiefner along with the other sophomores have really progressed. Everyone has been
progressing really well.
Q. Who is the strongest doubles teams?
A. We don’t really have one. Matt Griffith and
Sam Stahly have been doing really well.
Q. Are there any doubles or singles team that
will be able to go to state?
A. No. Next year we will be at state. I am very
optimistic of that.

C: “Just look at me.”
T: How would you plan to win?
F: “Easy. I’d just let him swing and fight until he got tired, which would probably take all of thirty sec-

crushed pair of glasses and a plaid sweater vest.”
C: “First, I would run. After chasing me around the building three times, Mr. Fouts would slump, exhausted, to the ground. I would then tower over him and lecture. My lecture would be so eloquent and
so well researched that Mr. Fouts’s brain would begin to hemorrhage. I would finish him off with a firm,
but merciful slap with my grammar hand.”
T: The contestants tell us about themselves.
F: “I’m actually a pretty modest person, but I’ll go ahead and admit that the only reason I’m friends
with Mr. Cato is because he needs my friendship to feel better about his life. I mean, if he can see me
being so awesome on a daily basis, it’s going to make him at least try to be like me. Oh, and I took two
girls to my senior prom. I bet Cato can’t top that.”
C: “I was born from the loins of greatness. My father was a god; my mother was the earth. Questing
for greatness, I slew public school teachers, peers, and siblings. I then journeyed to the Land of the
Dead, the moribund campus of Southeast Missouri State University. There, I conquered professors and
