VHS Students attend Top Flight By Julie Farmer Over 80 VHS students were recently honored at the Top Flight program at Goreville High School gym on May 10th. Top Flight is a program that rewards students for having a high grade point average. Students enter their names into a drawing, and the principal from the schools involved in the program draw names. The students receive prizes if their name is called. Prizes for the students are donated from local businesses. Some of the prizes included monetary rewards, savings bonds, and fast food coupons. Though students can only win one prize each during the first drawing, all students have a chance to win the grand prizes. In order to be eligible to attend Top Flight, students must receive a 4.75 or above grade point average for the current school year. Top Flight is held at Vienna High School and Goreville High School. These schools alternate holding the event each year.

VHS Idol is a new type of fundraiser that was chosen for the Relay for Life by the FCCLA. The students that felt their talent was good enough to go in front of the whole school and perform had their chance to show who they were, and what they were all about. Each different performance was unique. Competing students perform during lunch and the student body casts their votes for their favorites by putting money in their jars. The group with the most money at the end of the contest will be named “VHS Idol.” The fund-raiser raised over $300 for the Relay for Life, and it was just one of several activities that took place on May 5th, which was the final performance date for the remaining contestants. Entries ranged from solo acts to group perfromances. Good Question, which is a rock band made up of Nate Thurston, Charlie Thompson, Creedence Mott, Laura Treat, and Brett Thompson performed their newly written single called “Satisfied.” Tara Garrett, performed “No One Else on Earth,” by Wynonna Judd. Aaron Chamness and Keesha Matingly, performed “Fields of Gold,” by Sting. Holly Gearing performed “Strawberry Wine,” by Deana Carter. Sara Bradshaw and Elizabeth Stambulski performed a dance to “Breakdown,” by Breaking Benjamin. The winner of the competition was Good Question, who received $158.77. The band “Good Question” played their new single, “Satisfied.” The band includes (from left to right) Top row: Brett Thompson, Charlie Thompson, and Laura Treat.

He talked to the students about his life, and how important dreams are and where they can take you in life. Mr. Love has played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Cincinnati Royals, and the Chicago Bulls. He was the Bulls’ top leading scorer for seven years straight, and remains the second highest scorer in the team’s history--right behind Michael Jordan. He has suffered from a severe stuttering problem for most of his life. This has caused many embarrassing moments in his life for him, and he overcame this at the age of 47, finally finding a speech therapist that could help him. Bob Love has had to overcome many obstacles in his life, and he never let anyone stop him. He never let anyone get him down, and make him believe that he couldn’t do what he set his mind too. In the presentation he gave to the students, he told them to have a dream and go for it no matter what others think. Mr. Love said, “If it’s gonna be, it’s up to me.” Brett Thompson, Trey Thompson, and Charlie Thompson met Mr. Bob Love on April 26th. Mr. Love gave a motivational speech to the students of Vienna High School. Kaylie McGinnis, a Freshman, introduced Bob Love at the assembly on the 26th. She commented, “It was fun, but I was nervous. Definitely nervous!” Lauren Smith, Whitney Mitchell, Lindsey Ford, and Lori Riley attended the motivational talk Mr. Bob “Butterbean” Love gave about young people never giving up their dreams on April 26th.

Talon Wins ASPA award By Nate Thurston By Kelly Clayton If you didn’t already know, VHS has had a Jazz band for the past few months that consists of some of the best musicians in the school. The VHS Jazz band, directed by the award winning Jarod Shumaker, put on an excellent display of music ability on April 30, 2005. Over 160 people came to support the students who were “showing their stuff.” Aside from the Jazz band being there, the concert also featured several performances from the VHS Show choir, another group that is directed by Mr. Shumaker. The theme of the show was “Mardi Gras.” It included a barbecue buffet, drinks, and Mardi Gras beads for everyone. “The show was a hit,” said Mr. Shumaker. “They did better than I ever expected them too. I am glad that so many showed up to support us and what we enjoy doing.” “This is the first concert of several that are to come,” said Mr. Shumaker. “Since this one went so well, there will definitely be one next year.” If you didn’t get the chance to see the performance this year, then you should reserve next year’s tickets while you still can.

The Talon Page 10 May 2005 VHS students will att end attend rally in Springfield Vienna High School students attend awards banquet By Brittni Throgmorton On May 3, the top six students of the Class of 2005 attended an awards banquet at the SIU Student Center in Carbondale. The ceremony involved several high school seniors from Southern Illinois. SISHA has recognized the outstanding students in Southern Illinois High Schools for the past 33 years. Students were recognized for community service, academic excellence, leadership, and extra curricular activities. Dinner entertainment for the night was a live band. Mark VHS students will be attending an educational field trip to the Springfield Capital on May 18th. While in Springfield, the students will learn about the process of legislation and will tour the Lincoln Library and Museum. The students will attend a rally for fair school funding to listen to legislators and others discuss an increase to the foundation level for schools. One Bill, House Bill 750, would increase the per pupil state aid amount by $1000. The bill would decrease personal and business property tax by 25%. The increase in funding would come from an income tax increase from 3% to 5%. People on fixed income would not have an increase. Many groups will also be attending the rally to support fair funding for schools. By Kara Street and Josh Wood Shoemaker Construction, Inc. Ambrose, Executive Director of “Project Dreamboost,” spoke to the students about achieving your dreams. This was followed by the awards ceremony. The top students for the Class of 2005 attending the banquet were: Joshua Wood, Kaylyn Adams, Stacy Bean, Kelly Clayton, Katie Ochs, and Melissa Ford.

The cruise provided a new experience to all who were lucky enough to experience the seven day vacation away from the “real world.” The students and sponsors were at sea for three of the seven days. The Carnival cruise ship itself had four swimming pools, seven hot tubs, dance clubs, arcades, Internet access, telephones, a full casino, and lots more. The days at sea were just as much fun as the days when the cruise ship was docked. While docked in Montego Bay, Jamaica, everyone enjoyed a thrilling three hour tour of the Rose Globetrotter’s trip was amazing. very, very fancy.

The next day, while docked in the Grand Caymans, unfortunately bad weather cancelled both of the tours that the group had scheduled. Mrs. Mize didn’t let this ruin the day in the Caymans, though. Instead, she put together a tour herself which allowed the group to still visit the famous turtle farms, and the Tortuga Rum Factory. At the final stop in Cozumel, the group got to spend the first part of the day shopping and sight-seeing, and then the final excursion was spent on a catamaran that docked at a beach party filled with horseback riding, canoe trips, volleyball games, and hammocks to just lay around in.
