HOWALD
As the end of the first semester approaches, many students are wondering about
scheduling for next year as teacher recommendations are coming up. Teacher recommendations are usually due during or after the first
semester.
These can help determine whether or not
students will be taking a regular class, an honors class, or an AP class. With exams moved
from after Winter Break to before, scheduling
is in the back of many minds.
Last year, the first semester ended on January 15, but this year it’s ending on December
18, meaning that teacher recommendations
are now closer than ever. However, there is no
need for panic as the scheduling for next year
is only moved forward a couple of weeks.
Why did this take place? It all goes back
to August, when the school year started earlier
than normal. Since then, many major events in
the school year have been pushed up in order
to have exams before Winter Break, meaning
everything else is coming closer as well.
“I don’t think students will notice a difference, it just means the counselors and I are
ahead of what is typical,” Assistant Principal
Kasey Vens said.
Mr. Vens also explained that unlike last
year, when scheduling took place in February,
it is now going to take place near the end of
January.

SciOly invite Blood drive gives gift of life
stays strong

Many students may not have realized it, but recently Northview’s halls were overflowing with eager
Science Olympiad members at the Fourth annual
Northview competition December 5.
Schools from all over Northwest Ohio came to the
tournament, from schools as close as Southview to
schools all the way near Cleveland.
Events were held all over the school, with almost
all the classrooms used to hold different events. There
were both study events and building events, with the
larger rooms in the school like the gym being taken for
things like the “Wright Stuff” competition, an event
where different wooden planes are flown for point
amounts.
“The NV invitational does have a greater purpose
than just being another competition,” Team Captain
senior Parker Stephens said.“The NV invitational is a
main fundraiser for the team, and it is the first tournament of the year since it is so early. It’s really a double
positive for us; we earn money and more practice.”
The Northview competition is becoming a tradition for
the team, with this it’s fourth year running, the team,
like Stephens, believes that with its positive benefits,
it will continue as a tradition for many years to come.
Despite their best efforts, the team did not place
as well as they had hoped, and will hopefully improve
as the season progresses.

BLOOD DRIVE STAFFER senior Brandon Moody comforts senior Sarah Emery as she gives blood. The
students donated a pint of blood during the procedure and were treated with snacks afterward. The
blood drive occurred in the auxiliary gym and was put on by American Red Cross and MedTech.

Many students started their day with a healthy breakfast and a full night’s rest in order to prepare for their
blood donation later that day on November 20.
The blood drive was promoted by MedTech and the
American Red Cross. MedTech students had been planning the blood drive for
many months.
Prior to the drive
they got together with a
spirit wear company to
create t-shirts to be sold
to students for $10. The
proceeds went to any of
the expenses MedTech
had in this year’s blood
drive. If there was
any left over money,
they would help pay
for Southview’s blood
drive in February. They
prepared by making
sure their budget was
in the right price range
and using many types
of advertisement to attract donors
Many
students
made
appointments
prior to this date to
donate their blood
during the school day.
The theme for this year’s blood drive was “Straight Outta Veins”. These signs were hung throughout school on
the students’ lockers who were signed up to donate. Also
hung in the hallway was the famous Dr. McDreamy quote
from Grey’s Anatomy of “It’s a beautiful day to save lives.”
“The blood drive was a great success thanks to all the
students and staff involved. We all worked really hard to
overcome a lot of issues we had throughout the day. We
ended with 110 healthy pints of blood, which could potentially save up to 300 lives,” senior MedTech student Mo
Awada said.
The students who made appointments were dismissed from their selected classes to go down to the Auxiliary gym, where they waited in line to participate. The
gym was filled with students waiting throughout the day
and the line never got short. There were beds throughout
the aux gym, each with a nurse stationed to take the students’ blood.
Because the students donate about one pint of blood
on this day, there was plenty of food to eat after their blood
was taken. They had pizza, cookies, and much more.
Despite the terrible fear of the rumored needle, students such as junior Soren Genot were more focused on
the precious three lives they were saving just by donating
their blood.
“It was a great experience, I definitely think that getting out of class for two periods was worth it because I got
to save three lives,” Genot said.
“I thought giving blood was going to hurt but it barely
did. I am definitely going to do it again next year, plus
getting food was a big bonus,” junior Kaylin Elchert said.
Each student who donated blood got to wear a sticker
that said “I make a difference.”

Leadership hosts annual etiquette dinner
NEWS
December 11, 2015
Students showcase their knowledge through competition
allie hartnett
co editor in chief
Don’t reach across the table,
wait until everyone is served before you eat, keep your napkin on
your lap and your elbows off the
table.
These are just a few of the
rules that the senior Leadership
Academy put to the test at the
Etiquette dinner held November
23.
The dinner was held in a private room at Mancy’s Italian and
was open to any seniors interested, even if they weren’t a member of the Leadership academy.
Also attending the dinner
was Art teacher Ryan Creech,
Principal Steve Swaggerty, and
iMedia teacher Tami Blue.
The students took their seats
at 6:30 and were able to sit at
any of the given tables with their
friends.
The seniors then watched
a presentation from Mrs. Blue,
discussing the ground rules for
proper etiquette and the main
object of the game.
Some of the rules came as
surprises for the students; such
as not requesting for a take home
box, placing all personal belongings underneath your chair, and
always tasting the food before
adding condiments.
After watching the powerpoint, the game had officially begun.
Each player started with
three marbles and could gain or
lose them if they caught others
with improper etiquette or if they
made the mistakes themselves.
To begin, each student at
the table was required to give a
toast for one minute; following
the rules of fluency, effort, and
content.
The toasts could be made to
a specific classmate or peer, the
school, the other members at the
table, or to the future.
The game kept everyone on
their toes, as they tried to win
over all of their opponent’s marbles.
Aside from the competition,
the dinner consisted of a three
course meal; salad and bread,
entrées with the choice of lasagna
or chicken parmesan, and canno-

When dessert was finished,
Mrs. Blue presented the awards
to the winner and runner- up
with the most marbles.
The prizes included a medal
and a silver spoon.
This year there was a tie between Mitch Lyons and Maddie
McGranahan for runner- up, resulting in a tie breaker.
Each student was required
to give another toast in front of
everyone and based on the applause, the new winner was selected. Taking first place was
Katie Cole and her runner-up,
Lyons.
"I had a great time having
dinner with my friends while
learning proper etiquette. It

The next time I go to a nice dinner I will definitely be thinking
about the funny videos Mrs. Blue

Seven new members were inducted
into the National Honors Society on December 1 in the cafeteria.
In order to be officially inducted, these
senior members participated in an induction ceremony. They had to say a pledge
and were awarded a certificate and pin.
They then listened to each of the officers, President Starr Jiang, Vice President
Maddie McGranahan, Secretary Mitch
Lyons, and Treasurer Parker Stephens,
go through each of the pillars that NHS
stands for. The four pillars of NHS are
leadership, service, scholarship, and character.
“It truly was a big honor to be accepted and inducted into NHS,” senior Nicoletta Lucitte said. “I have put a lot of effort
into my schoolwork at NV, and it feels nice
to be appreciated. I believe being a mem-
ber of NHS will open so many doors for
me in the future and keep me on the path
to success.”
The new members will have the opportunity to participate in the upcoming
carnation sale, the spring induction and
honor cord ceremony later in the year.
“I’m very excited to be involved in
NHS and becoming more involved with
my peers,” Lucitte said. “I’m looking forward to helping out and I’m ready for the
responsibility.”
NHS members must achieve and
maintain a number of accomplishments
in order to earn membership and keep it.
A student must maintain a 3.6 grade
point average, complete ten in-school and
ten out-of-school service hours, and uphold the standards of an exceptional student.
The next induction ceremony will
take place this Spring for the Class of 2017
in the Performing Arts Center.

Speech and Debate kicks off year strong
molly spieldenner
staffer
In speech and debate the students find a topic that
interests them and then are able to construct different
speeches based off of these topics and use them to compete. Over the past month the team has participated in
several competitions all across the state, according to senior Owen Capellini. This year’s team consists of 30 students and is coached by German teacher Claudia Fischer,
Choir teacher Jeremy Davis, and Transition Specialist
Mallory Gebers.
“Speech and debate is different than most activities
in the sense that we don’t compete against just one school
each weekend, but up to 40 schools depending on the size
of the tournament,” Capellini said.
The team recently attended a tournament held on
November 21 where they placed 8th out of 16th overall.
The Debate competitors of the team traveled to St. John’s
and the Speech competitors traveled to Notre Dame
Academy. At the tournament, Capellini placed first in a
topic called the Lincoln Douglas Debate, junior Won Kim
placed first in Informative Speaking, and freshmen Danny Lee and junior James Cousin placed first as partners
in the Policy Debate.
“The tounamnet ran very smoothly. The students
were well prepared which makes the experience more
enjoyable. An interesting tradition this tournament has
is that instead of giving out trophies for placements they
give the students rubber duckies,” Fischer said.
“Our season just started this month, but so far our
team has had success. Everyone has been working really
hard and it’s been showing,” sophomore Kayla Thielen
said.
An upcoming tournament will be held on January 15
and 16 called the Sylvania Invitational and will be held at
Northview.
“It is the biggest tournament in the state so it is a big
deal to have it hosted here. I think this is a really great
opportunity for everyone because there is an event on for
everyone. There is such a wide range of events therefore
everyone can find something they love,” Thielen said.
The most recent tournament was on December 4th at
Perrysburg High School. Capellini placed fourth in Lincoln Douglas Debate, Madison Brixey placed sixth in the
Congressional Debate, sophomore Mitali Dalwalla placed
second in Congressional Debate, and Won Kim placed
first in Informative Speaking.
“This tournament was a really great experience for
me because I had never done that type of debate before so
placing was exciting and unexpected,” Brixey said.

Teachers vs Parents: the war over grades
OPINIONS
December 11, 2015
Students should not resort to having parents fight for their good grades
I know how it feels when you
are stressed out about getting a
good grade and will go to any extreme to get that “A”.
But what extremes are really
necessary? Having your parents
persuade a teacher to boost your
grade seems to be one way students are getting the grade they
want.
If I knew my parents could
bring my grade up by talking to
my teacher, I would let them.
Now picture the entire school’s
parents doing this for them, does
it seem okay?
Good grades being handed
out to kids because their parents
thought they should get a higher
grade, doesn't really seem fair.
All these grades changing just
because someone a little older
than a student has a say? That is
not really fair.
Your mom and dad are not
your teacher. They don't know
what grade their child deserves.
They weren't around when their
kid got the assignment and directions and they most definitely
don't know all the criteria the
student needed to meet.
If a student has an issue with
their grade, they can talk to the
teacher themselves. I guarantee
their grade will stay the same because the teacher will know they
got all the directions just like the
rest of the class. So why does a
parent stepping in change that?
Some people work extremely
hard to get good grades in school
and meet all the criteria they need
to get that grade. So how is it fair
if someone else who does not do
this, gets the grade by having the
advantage of a parent who is willing to fight their kid’s battles?
It may be hard to accept the
fact that sometimes your work
doesn't deserve a perfect score,
and that's okay. But sometimes
we need to get our heads on
straight and think, “hey, maybe I
could have done better, but I deserve this grade.”
A grade is a reflection of
the true effort a student puts in,
it should not reflect a parent’s
opinion on what it should be.
If you really believe your
grade should be changed, you
wouldn't feel the need to get your
parent involved. You would be
able to present your issue to the
teacher and get it changed. You
would have a strong enough argument to convince the teacher
yourself without the need of a
parent.
And if you can do that, then
maybe, just maybe, you deserve a
better grade. It's kind of pathetic
that you would need someone
else to do that for you.
If you are so confident you
deserve that amazing grade then,
quite honestly, you should be the
one to convince your teacher of
that.
Students soon will be on
their own at college, where parent’s opinions of their grades
won't matter. People our age
GRYCA
should start learning to fight
their own battles and leave their
parents out of it.
Most parents want the best
for their kids, but a good grade
isn't the best for their student if
they are not learning to stand up
for themselves.
At some point that student
is going to have to grow up, so
parents should think about that
next time they go to fight their
kid’s battle.
Most of all, the student
should think about that the next
time they let their parent’s fight
their battles.

Discrimination we still face in America
As time goes on, things change. Technology does
miracles; the world’s smartest people create things unimaginable; scientists around the world make new discoveries and solve things that have stumped history’s geniuses; and time still goes on.
The only thing that doesn’t change however, is discrimination. People may argue that discrimination is in
our blood: to judge others based on our own standards
and to side with the majority as long as it does not affect
ourselves.
However, why is that once it does affect us, that is
when we begin to take notice of the injustice and pointlessness of discrimination? It is because it’s human nature
to worry about ourselves before others and that innate
feature is what is preventing society from progressing.
In light of recent events, such as the Paris bombings,
discrimination from all walks of life has risen against
Muslims. There’s no sugar-coating it. Whether it was the
terror acts of ISIS towards Western countries, the 9/11
attack by Al-Qaeda,or even the horrific acts of Boko Haram in Africa, this discrimination has been growing and
growing as time goes on. Yet, however, it seems as though
nobody has anything to say about it, except to condemn
the entire religion of Islam, and hold its followers accountable for these terrorists actions. Nobody has any-
thing to say about the fact that ISIS also bombed Beirut,
the capital of Lebanon, or an open market in Baghdad,
Iraq, or even the fact that this group butchered thousands
of innocent people in Syria. Do people not understand
that these countries’ populations are mostly Muslim?
There’s a reason that there are thousands of refugees
seeking a country that will protect them, and this growing
idea that all Muslims are terrorists is exactly what these
terrorist groups want. Their goal is to turn these firstworld countries against Muslims so they have nowhere to
go except back to the countries that have been overtaken
by the very group that sought to kill them. This absurd
idea that all Middle Eastern people are terrorists makes
me wonder what would happen if someone said that all
white people are school shooters. It’s a horrible thing to
insinuate, but is that not essentially what it is, grouping
millions and millions of people into one category based
on the actions of a few?
I’d like to put things into perspective. During 19541968, something took place in America called the AfricanAmerican Civil Rights Movement in which hundreds of
thousands of black citizens marched and protested for
their rights. Today, it seems ridiculous that they would
have to take to the streets, be beaten brutally in their own
neighborhoods in front of their families, shot at, walk 50
miles from city to city as a form of civil disobedience,
and speak to one another from segregated churches and
schools, simply because they were black, wanted to vote,
and be seen as equals.
We look back at it as a bad time in our history, where
if it were happening today (which a form of it still is), we
would definitely get behind the movement and support
our black brothers and sisters. This is exactly the point
I’m getting at. When students our age look back in their
textbooks, we should all want our names to be on the right
side of history. We should all want to be an Ella Baker, a
John Lewis, or even a Fannie Lou Hamer, who created
the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. We should
not strive to be a George Wallace, who tried to prevent
desegregation by using force, or a Eugene “Bull” Connor,
who shot fire hoses and set police dogs onto activists.
We should collectively attempt to fight this building
discrimination as our government debates the entrance
of Syrian refugees, and individually think of what we can
do to help, whether it be protesting or simply standing
against discriminatory acts and/or words.
Time will go on. People are born and people die every
second; miracles will happen, disasters will strike; and
history will be made, so I urge us all to try and be on the
right side of it once it goes to print.

Holiday Shopping 101: Getting the best deals
better for shopping on? There are many
pros and cons to both Black Friday and
Cyber Monday and they can be very influential towards your decision.
One good thing about Black Friday
is that you actually get to see the i t e m
that you are purchasing in person before you buy it. Some
examples would be trying
on clothes or examining
products before you decide to buy them.
Another positive is
that you don’t have to worry about shipping fees or
cancelled orders. Buying the
item in the store prevents all of the extra
online hassles.
On the other hand, a negative about
Black Friday is that you have to wake up
super early to get the best deals. A lot of
Christmas Overload
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” as the famous song would say. But
is Christmas really what this time of year
is? Everyone associates December with
Christmas, but what is the real meaning
of this holiday? The gifts, the food, Santa
Claus?
The answer is none of the
above. The true meaning of the
more appropriately named “holiday season” is about family rising
above all and coming together to
fulfill your traditions for whatever holiday you celebrate.
A common misconception people have is associating December, or
“the holiday season”, with
Christmas and occasionally Hanukkah. But
what about the other
holidays?
First off, there’s Kwanzaa; the holiday that everyone has
heard of, but no one really knows
what it is. Kwanzaa is a secular holiday
observed by some African Americans from
December 26 through January 1. It is celebrated for their cultural heritage and traditional values.
Next on the holiday list is festivus.
You may have heard the phrase “festivus
for the rest of us,” and this is a quite unusual holiday. It was originally intended to
be an anti-Christmas celebration, held on
December 23. In short, it is the opposite
of Christmas, with its change of date, lack
of celebration, and sarcasm of the holiday
itself. The holiday was created by Frank
Costanza on the popular television show
Seinfeld.
Then Hanukkah. It lasts eight days
and is symbolized by lighting a candle on
the menorah each night. During this
time you give presents to your family,
just like you would during Christmas.
But do you recall the most famous of them all? Ah, yes; Christmas. Christmas is the annual celebration on December 25, marking
the day Christ was born. Despite its religious background,
the holiday is more well
known for its snowmen,
radical trees, gift giving,
and most importantly,
Santa Claus.
Although Christmas is the
most well known, each holiday is important to each culture. Whether you
believe in Santa or not, everyone has their
own form of celebration during the “holiday season,” so we shouldn’t be focusing
only on Christmas. It is very important
to respect the values and holidays of different cultures and to remember that no
matter which holiday you celebrate, they
all have the same themes; togetherness,
loving one another, and giving. -Riley Runnells
stores offer free gifts to the first 200 people to show up at their store before the
crack
of dawn.
One more con of
Black Friday is that you
have to wait in line in the
cold with huge crowds. It
is absolutely freezing in November and on top of that,
many people will tackle or
hurdle you to get the item
that they are looking for before someone else does.
Cyber Monday has
many pros and cons as well.
One positive is that shopp i n g can be done a lot faster than on
Black Friday. You don’t have to search
around the whole store to find the item
that you are looking for.
Another good thing is that you save
money and can shop from anywhere.
You don’t have to travel to the store so
you save gas money, and you can shop
even if you’re at work or in your pajamas.
But other than that, there are a few
cons as well. One negative is that you
cannot examine the item before you purchase it.
After hearing the pros and cons of
Black Friday and Cyber Monday it gives
you a lot to think about. It all essentially
depends on what kind of person you are.
If you love chaos, waking up early,
and a lot of pushing and shoving, then
Black Friday is the day for you. But if
you like to take your time while avoiding traffic and large crowds, then Cyber
Monday is the way to go.

THE
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are
two completely different days, but there
is one thing that is relevant on both occasions. That one thing is called shopping, and it essentially makes the world
go round.
Black Friday is the day after
Thanksgiving and is known as the first
day of traditional holiday shopping. On
this day crowds of shoppers are drawn
to cheap prices, so they rush and crowd
into a plethora of stores to find what
they want.
On the contrary, Cyber Monday is
the Monday following Thanksgiving and
is all conducted online. Online retailers provide exceptional deals that draw
the customers to flock the websites to
get what they want before everyone else
does.
The real question is, which day is

How to procrastinate in scho...
OPINIONS
December 11, 2015
covering it
crandALL
by Emma Crandall
It has been said time and time
again, there are simply not enough
hours in the day.
As a student taking all Honors
and AP courses, as well as having an
internship, a job, and playing a sport,
there truly is not enough time in one
day to accomplish all that needs to be
done.
Homework seems to be slim on
some days and then piled on others.
It’s either a break for the night, or
pulling an all nighter. It’s almost like
the teachers have weekly meetings to
determine what days they are all going
to give us long assignments. Okay, not
really, but it could happen, we never
know.
The only way to accomplish everything that needs to be done is staying up way too late, or waking up way
too early. And honestly, although I am
guilty of it, it is extremely unhealthy.
On average, teenagers should be getting eight to ten hours of sleep to function properly. On the average night, I
get just over half of that amount. And
on nights before big projects are due, it
turns into two or three hours.
Teachers wonder why students
sleep in class or aren’t always peppy
and eager to respond when they ask
“how is your day going?” If the students do respond, the common responses include “fine”, “good”, “tired”,
or just “ehh.”
You could also say the build up
of work is due to procrastination. But
when it comes down to it, if I am up doing homework until one in the morning and my English reading isn’t due
tomorrow, I am not going to stay up
another hour to do that assignment.
That’s an extra hour of sleep that I am
already behind on. It becomes hard to
get ahead on assignments when there
is so much work building up.
By the time you go to school, work,
have a sports practice, do your pile of
homework, drive to all the places you
need to go, eat, breathe, your whole
day is gone, it’s one in the morning and
you need to be at school in six and a
half hours.
It can be draining on your body,
mind, and work ethic. There is no real
solution for those types of students
that are busy. There simply are just not
enough hours in the day.
Procrastination is a very hard skill to master, but I believe I have achieved the highest rank. With winter
break slowly approaching, the days get short, and the air is cold. Motivation is at an all time low. These are
a few of my favorite ways to procrastinate:
Sleep - when it’s below freezing there is nothing better than turning the heat up to 80 and
snuggling up in your down comforter
Spark Notes -why read an entire book when
you can wait until the night before the test to
read a quick five minute summary?
Music - you know that band you love? Yeah,
they just released an album and you have a
three page paper due tomorrow, you know
you have to listen to album first
Commons or Study Hall - why do homework at
night when you can cram a 50 point homework
assignment in the class period before it’s due?
Video Games - this is the time of the year when
all the new video games are released. Go to the
midnight release and then skip school to play
the game
I’m going to do ten - I’ll get around to it at
some point

Katniss is back
Katniss Everdeen, the girl
on fire, is back and more fiery
than ever.
The Revolution of the
Districts in Panem is flaming
against the Capitol. Mockingjay
Part 2 brings the Hunger Games
trilogy to a close with one last
emotionally exhilarating ride.
As an avid book lover I am
pleased to inform you the story
is told quite well.
However, if you are not a
book reader, all of your unanswered questions about the fate
of the citizens of Panem and Katniss's love life will be revealed.
The graphics of the movie
are fantastic. The portrayal of
the war in the Districts and the
Capitol never ceases to amaze
me. It’s like you could jump into
to the movie screen and be there
in Panem.
The culmination of the war
takes place when the Rebels
storm the Capitol.
The Capitol arms itself with
the help of its Game Makers, essentially making it the 76th annual hunger games. No one is
safe.
There are unexpected twists
and turns throughout the entire
movie.
Every time you think Katniss
and her band of rebels are safe
from President Snow and the
Game Makers’ wrath, something
comes from out of nowhere with
every intention to kill them.
Katniss, a poor girl from the
Seam of District 12, who valiantly
volunteered for her sister Prim in
the 74th Hunger Games reaping,
who fell in love with her co-victor
in those games, Peeta Mellark,
who broke the force shield with
her lightning arrow in the Quarter Quell, who never ceases to
surprise us, has outdone herself
once again.
But you’ll have to go see the
movie to find out why.
Mockingjay Part 2 was everything I expected of the final
Hunger Games movie. Panem
today, Panem tomorrow, Panem
forever.

"Going Greek": Do you know what to expect?
Sam Steirer, Kappa Delta
Max Messinger, Delta Chi
What’s a typical day in a sorority?
What’s a typical day in a fraternity?
“My day is not really different than anyone
else’s. I wake up, go to my first class then I go to
the student union and find the Kappa Delta spot
to do homework. I then go to more classes and
after I meet with my big for a study session.”
“A typical day for me varies based on if we have
any community service or philanthropy events going
on. Beyond that, everything else is pretty normal
compared to any other college student. I’ll always
get lunch with guys in my fraternity. We also have
chapter meetings every Sunday.”
Was “going Greek” what you expected?
“When I went Greek in the fall, I expected all of the typical “sorority things” just like everyone else. I never thought it would be like it
is. I was never the stereotypical sorority girl and I never will be. I think
that is one thing that everyone, including myself, thinks when they go
in.”
Was “going Greek” what you expected?
“For me, going Greek went beyond my expectations of what it was
going to be like. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve met so many
people and have made lots of memories. I would say going Greek has
definitely enhanced my college experience.”
Jack Melick, Beat Theta Pi
Libby Headman, Kappa Alpha Theta
What’s a typical day in a sorority?
What’s a typical day in a fraternity?
“Everyday is different with greek life; to sum it
up everyday is somewhat involved with the sorority whether it’s studying or eating with your friends.
We also have tons of events we participate in and go
to. It just changes so much there isn’t a typical day
but all the days I am somehow doing something with
them.”
“Most days revolve around hanging with the
fraternity, relaxing at the house, and attending
chapter/or a meeting if one is called. Socials,
sports and other big events happen weekly.”
Was “going Greek” what you expected?
Was “going Greek” what you expected?
“It was a lot different than I expected, but the girls in my sorority are
my best friends. Coming to college is really hard, but being in a sorority
made it so much easier.”
“I always wanted to go Greek, so I knew a little going in. Some
things are definitely what you would expect, with others being polar opposites. You don’t realize the amount of work required to run day to day
operations and keep the chapter in order.

After long hours of rehearsal and a lot of
late nights, The Music Man took the stage on

Wrestling starts strong at invite
amir abouzied
news editor
On December 4 and 5, the Wrestling
team traveled to Northwood to compete
in their first invitational of the season, the
Jim Derr Invitational.
The boys compete in this invitational
every year. All wrestlers but one placed
for their weight class.
Sophomore Alex Vasquez placed
sixth, sophomore Danny Elden placed
fourth, sophomore Reece Pohlman placed
fourth, junior Trevor Hartbarger placed
third, junior John Watson placed first,
junior Andy Summers placed fourth, junior Jessup Pawelczyk placed third, junior
Marty Hofbauer placed second and senior
Ethan Cook placed fourth.
The team placed second overall in this
invitational.
“To prepare for this season, we have
conditioned hard every day and repeatedly done drills over and over. We have gone
against different schools to sample different styles of wrestling and to just change
things up. My goals for this year are to
have 25 or more wins, be one of the top
two wrestlers in the NLL, and to make it
to the District tournament and win a few
matches,” Summers said.
“I think our team will be able to compete at many tournaments this year and
my goals are to work harder and to make it
to the State tournament,” Pawelczyk said.
The captains for the team this year
are Hartbarger, Pawelczyk, Cook, and
Summers.
“I thought we performed very well
overall for being a younger team. To have
all but one guy place makes me feel that
we will have a good year and are ready for
anything that comes at us,” Hartbarger
said.
Boys Bball shoots into new season
matthew bishop
sports editor
The Boys’ Basketball season is in full
swing after a long off-season that was delayed due to the extended football season.
Their first game was originally scheduled on November 27 against the Rossford
Bulldogs but the game was postponed
due to Rossford’s football team going far
into the state football tournament. The
new date for the game has yet to be determined.
The team’s first game was instead
against the Anthony Wayne Generals on
December 3. According to The Blade, both
teams are predicted to finish in the top
three of the Northern Lakes League.
For the Wildcats, the new season
started out with a bang. During the first
play of the game, senior Aerin West lobbed
an alley-oop pass to junior Logan Jessing
who dunked the ball in the hoop with two
hands. This dunk started a 10-2 run the
Cats to start the game. They led 10-5 after
the first quarter.
“It’s always been a childhood dream
of mine to dunk in game so when I had
the chance I knew I had to take it,” Jessing said.
Anthony Wayne got hot in the second quarter, scoring 22 points in the eight

minute period. Anthony Wayne led 22-27
at halftime.
The game remained close for the entire second half with the Cats unable to
overcome the deficit. Anthony Wayne won
the game 41-47.
“I think all of us are disappointed with
the loss but it’s a long season and I think
loss humbled us a little bit,” senior Moe
Afifi said. “We have a new coach that is
implementing a successful system. We will
work hard and get better.”
The next game for the Cats is on December 10 at home against the Springfield
Blue Devils. The next game after that is
away against Perrysburg on December 17.

The girls use their weaknesses for
their own benefit. They use those weaknesses to work together and place as
high as they can. A team is as weak as
their weakest link. The girls hope to increase their skill and improve their technique as the season goes on.
“Our goal is to work together as
a team and be able to place all around
because normally we don’t have enough
people to qualify,” junior Sarah Essi
said.
Teamwork is essential for the gymnastics girls. They use strength in their
numbers to succeed and be the best they
can be, individually and as a group.
“I think our best meet (last year)
was Districts. We came in seventh out of
12 or 14 teams and then one of our girls
qualified for States but she graduated
last year,” Essi said.
In the past season, alumni Katelyn
McKown qualified for the State Championship.
This season, the girls hope to top
their past seasonº and succeed in all
their meets.

Becoming part of a team creates many new friends and close
relationships. The divers also
work very hard for their team as
they also have practices every day
for about three hours, but they do
not have practice in the morning.
Usually, the first hour of practice is spent on the trampoline
where they practice doing dives
with a harness on.
“Diving has been really fun and
our team always has a great time
practicing together,” sophomore
Adrienne Palmer said.
Junior Kaitlyn Dieringer on the

Hockey hopes for strong season
SPORTS
emily nowak & nazihah bhatti
staffer & opinions editor
Cold weather and snow days aren’t the
only thing that students have to look forward to this winter.
It might not be the most popular sport
across Ohio, but NV Hockey will always be
the activity that brought us our first team
state title.
The team has grown and remained
strong throughout the years with students
and staff hoping for the best this upcoming season. This season there are 21 players on the team.
“My favorite part of hockey seasons is
getting close with my teammates and having big games. I consider all of these boys
my family and I love playing with them,”
senior wing Jason Gross said.
The first game of the season was on
November 27 against St. Francis de Sales
Knights. The Wildcats were defeated with
a final score of 0-8.
“We played St. Francis in the Cold
Turkey Tournament hoping to come out
and beat them. It didn’t turn out the way
we wanted,” senior defender Reed Kross
said. “Now we are just preparing more and
getting better so that we can beat them
next time.”
Their next game later that day was
against Blythe and the Wildcats came out
on top, winning 4-2.
“I think personally that more people
should come out to the games and get
some cheers going, because that gives us a
lot of momentum knowing that our school
has our back. The more support we get the
better we play,” Gross said.
Their last game was against Bowling
Green on December 4 and the Wildcats
tied 4-4.
“BG is a good team and we knew what
to expect from them. It’s early in the season and we still have a mountain to climb
and we have the right things to make it
a good climb,” senior center Nick Nye
said. “We just have to compete every day
to make ourselves better and perfect our
game. If we play our game well we can expect to win a lot of games.”
“We’re hoping to play stronger defensively and get a lot more shots on the
net this time around,” senior defender
Alec Thompson said. “If we play to our
strengths then we will definitely be able to
get the win.”
The team hopes to win their first tournament, the league title and hopefully another state championship, according to
senior defender Brendan Pierson.
Their next tournament is the Padua
Christmas Tournament starting on December 18 against University School.
The Padua Tournament includes some
of the best hockey teams in the state. The
Wildcats will also face up against St. Ignatius and St. Edwards, according to Pierson.
The Wildcats will take on St. Francis
again this Friday.
“Personally my favorite stretch we
do before we swim are the wall shoulder
stretches because they really loosen up the
shoulder muscle and make it a lot easier to
swim,” junior Jessica Walkovich said.
However, the Swim Team is not the
only sport that is preparing for their long
winter season. The Boys Basketball team
has also been working extremely hard in
preparation for their season. They have
practice
every
day after school
and they often
lift weights. Lifting weights helps
them to gain
muscles
mass
and helps them
play better in
the long run. They have had many scrimmages, they even had one against the St.
John’s basketball team.
“I think the most effective thing we
do to get ready for our games is to play
against our own teams because it helps us
realize our strengths and weaknesses in a
friendly environment,” sophomore Reece
Lazar said. Winter sports teams are working hard to prepare for their seasons.
Team pre-pep starts early season
katherine davenport

Anyone who is involved in a sport at
Northview knows that it takes a lot of time,
effort, and practice to become the outstanding teams and athletes that we have
at NV today.
There are several ways that NV sports
teams prepare for their season. In a sport
some of the methods of conditioning may
be similar to one another but they may
also differ from each other.
For instance the swim team does more
than just swim to condition for their season. The team often does cardio workouts
after they have finished their swim practice. They stretch all the time to make sure
their muscles are not tight either before or
after the swim.
