VHS students, administrators, and faculty give the
“Gift of Life” at the Red Cross blood drive
Fifty-six pints of blood
were donated at the American Red Cross blood drive
sponsored by the VHS
HOSA club on November
3, 2005. Students, teachers, and administrators donated blood to make this
year’s effort a success, and
far surpass the goal of 45
units.
According to Ms.
Reichert, VHS HOSA sponsor and school nurse, the
nation’s blood supply is critically low. “The recent disasters have put a real strain
on our blood supply, and
donors are needed now
more than ever. I appreciate all the brave and generous people of VHS that
gave blood to help replenish the nation’s blood supply,” she stated.
Those who presented to
donate were: Robby Trigg,
Adam Brown, Heath
Lovelace, Kristen Rogers,
Alysha Daly, Nicole Marsh,
Daniele Bowles, Tomi

VHS Gets Spooked on Halloween
By Julie Farmer
The VHS Student
Council sponsored the annual costume contest in celebration of Halloween. Ms.
Reichert, and Mr. Hight Student Council sponsors, coordinated the event.
Students, teachers, and
faculty celebrated Halloween by dressing up in
creative and elaborate
costumes, in hopes of
winning prizes.
VHS faculty
members and staff
served as judges,
and were overwhelmed by
this year’s response to the
contest.
The judges included
Mrs. Reichert, Mr. Hight,
Dr. Trover, Mrs. Mize, Josh
Stafford, and VHS Student
Council members.
Mr. Hight, one of the
judges for the contest commented, “I am really happy
with the turnout this year. It
was nice to see the kids
come out and get in the
Halloween spirit.
It’s fun to see them express
their creativity in their costumes.”
The judges decided on
five categories: Scariest,
Prettiest, Funniest, Most
Original, and Most Extravagant.
The winners for each
category were: Most Original - James Ellet, dressed as
Gamecube; Prettiest Chrissy Lausier, dressed as
half angel/half devil; Funniest - Bobby Hoffman,
dressed as Elton John; and
Most Extravagant was a
three way tie. The Most
Extravagant awards went to
Sarah Bradshaw, dressed as
a wood elf, Keesha
Mattingly, dressed as a pixie,
and Michelle Akins, dressed
as a witch.
James Ellet, winner of
Most Original was excited to
win. “I worked pretty hard
on my Gamecube costume.
It was fun to be able to take
something I love so much,
The winners in the Most Extravagant category were Michelle Akins as a witch, Sarah Bradshaw
as a wood elf, and Keesha Mattingly as a pixie.
like Gamecube, and make it
into a fashion piece.”
Richard Morgan, although not a winner, was
dressed as a very convincing Zorro. “My costume
was inspired by my love for
Mexican theatre. I got my
costume at Wal-Mart,
which caters to even the
most sophisticated taste,”
Richard commented.
Winner of the funniest category was
Bobby Hoffman as “Elton John”

English IV class writes
children’s books
Page 3
David Yandell named
National Delegate
By Julie Farmer
Mrs. Guest’s first block senior
English class created children’s
books as a literature-based assignment.
The assignment was for the students to create a children’s book describing one of two pieces of literature they had recently studied.
The students could chose to
write their children’s book on either
Paradise Lost by John Milton or
the Book of Genesis chapters 2 and
3.
The students were told to recreate the story in a way where children could understand. They were
allowed to change the setting of the
story so children could relate to the
story.
Mrs. Guest is the senior English
teacher at VHS. “I enjoy the assignment because I think it helps my students understand what they are
reading if they break it down in a
way where children could understand. I really enjoy reading their
stories to see the different ways they
interpret them. I love to see my students creativity brought out by fun
assignments,” Mrs. Guest stated.
The requirements for the
children’s books were very specific.
The students must include a title page
with a title, an illustration, and the
author’s name. The books had to
have at least seven pages. The students needed illustrations and at least
two sentences on each page. The
illustrations could be hand drawn or
printed from the computer.
Mrs. Guest plans to have many
more activities like these children’s
books in her classes.
David Yandell was a Gold Finalist
at National FFA convention.
Julie Farmer reads her children’s
book based on the Book of Genesis chapters 2 and 3 called Holy
Halloween.

Congratulations to David Yandell
who finished with a gold rating at the
National FFA Convention. His Supervised Agricultural Experience
(SAE) beef production entrepreneurship won at the state level and was
selected for gold rating at the national
level. David’s SAE was the best in
Illinois, which allowed him to advance.
The top honors went to a member from Colorado who kept records
on cattle and had many aspects of
science incorporated in his SAE. He
used an extensive embryo transfer
program and used artificial insemination to help his production.
David Yandell is also serving this

year as the Section 25 President for
the Illinois Association FFA. Therefore, David was chosen to serve as
an official delegate to the 78th National FFA Convention. He helped
to decide the future direction of the
National FFA Organization. David
is a member of the Vienna FFA Chapter and attended the convention October 23rd through 29th. The National FFA Convention was held at
the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center,
in Louisville, Kentucky.
Closely reflecting the operation
of the U.S. government, participating in the delegate process gives students the opportunity to experience
government in action. The experience began this summer, with the
State Presidents’ Conference in
Washington D.C. During this event,
leadership delegates discussed issues
that needed to be addressed at the
convention. Nine of those issues
were forwarded to the full-delegate
body during the 78th National Convention.
At the convention, delegates
broke into committees, heard testimony on the nine issues, and addressed the whole delegate body with
their findings. The next step is to forward recommendations to the National FFA Board of Directors who
will address them in January.

Will “Stick To It” Prevail?
The Vienna Eagles Golf
program, which now consists of both
a girls and boys team, finished their
season the first week of October
after participating in the IHSA
Regional.
“Golf is still a young sport to the
athletics program, as well as new to
the community as a whole,” stated
Coach Bremer, who is in her first
year overseeing a planned golf
program. “To be competitive in
IHSA, what is done before August
15 makes the difference.”
This past summer clinics were
held to teach entry level skills. “I
am pleased to see that so many
young players came out and we have
a bright future if they stick with it,”
Coach Bremer added.
Sticking with it has been a
trouble spot for the Eagles program.
Coach Bremer said, “Just being able
to play is not what makes a high
school golf program successful. You
must commit to the team and the
expectations of the coach.”
The Eagles team ran in to lots of
excitement this year. Their only
Senior, Cody Goins was touted to
do very well in the IHSA Regional,
which was to be held at the Gambit.
Just one week before the Vienna
Invitational and two weeks before
the Regional, Cody was playing at
Massac and experienced a sharp
pain in his chest. After resting, he
played the last two holes of the
match, where he shot at 38. The
next morning he was rushed to the
hospital and diagnosed with a
collapsed lung.
“I was so saddened for Cody,
and I cannot imagine how frustrated
he was. Cody persevered in the
hospital over this situation, just as
he perservered on the golf course.
Cody still has a bright golf future if
he chooses that as part of his college
experience. His grades are good,
and with his golf ability he will
certainly be recruited to a college
golf program,” stated Coach
Bremer.
To add to the excitement of the
season, another Vienna Eagle player,
Brenden Talmadge, was hit in the
head with a golf ball during a match
with Cobden, Waltonville, and
Goreville. Brenden was marking his
ball when another player was hitting
from a sand bunker. The ball
deflected from the lip of the trap and
hit Brenden in the head. Brenden
was taken to the hospital to check
out the injury. “This, again, was
unfortunate for Brenden and the
team. He was marking his ball as
would anyone. This was just a freak
accident,” stated Coach Bremer.
Coach Bremer expressed that
she appreciated the freshman boys
who stepped up. “I am very
optimistic about the future because
I have seen some freshman and
sophomores who are showing
commitment to the program and a
passion for the game. This is key to
future success,” she stated.
The Varsity Boys team consisted
of Travis Crain, Chase Deaton, Josh
Ford, Cody Goins, Daniel Kerley,
John Obourn, Cory Ross, and
Brenden Talmadge.

“Though it’s early in the year
for our club, we really hope
to get a lot accomplished.
The play is still in it’s first few
steps, but I am very hopeful
that we will be able to pull it
off. I have a lot of faith in
my Spanish Club members,”

The Spanish Club has
already started their activities for this year. The club
held a T-Shirt Design Contest in late October.
The contest was held to
select a design for this year’s
Spanish Club shirt. The
winner of the contest
recieved a free shirt.
The Spanish Club also
gathered after school on
October 26th and 27th to
make posters for Dia de los
Muertos or the “Day of The
Dead”.
“The Day of the Dead”
is a holiday celebrated in
most Spanish speaking
countries. Most people
think it is similiar to Halloween, but if it’s close to any
America holiday, it would be
Memorial Day. On this holiday, they remember and
honor family members who
have died.
Brittni Throgmorton, a
Senior enrolled in Spanish II
is enjoying the “Day of the
Dead” activities. She said,
“Our class is making clay
sculptors of objects that represent ‘Day of the Dead’. It
is interesting to learn about

The VHS Marching Eagles march at various parades in the region
The VHS Marching Eagles have
marched almost every Saturday
since the end of September.
They recently marched in
Murray State University’s Homecoming Parade and South East Missouri State University’s Homecoming Parade.
The Marching Eagles were given
free tickets to the Murray and
SEMO Homecoming football games
for marching in the parade.
VHS Senior, Amanda Pirtle, is
the drum major for the Marching
Eagles. “I love marching at Murray
and SEMO. We always have the
most fun at these two parades. Everyone really gets into the song and
it’s neat to see them dancing and
clapping.”
The Marching Eagles marched
in a Halloween parade on October
29th in Christopher, Illinois. Sophomore Jillian Powell especially enjoyed the Halloween parade. “It
was great to see all the bands, because everyone was dressed up in
Halloween costumes, and there was
an exciting, festive atmosphere,”
Jillian stated.
The Marching Eagles only have
two parades left in this year’s parade season. They are the Veteran’s
Day parade in Anna, and the Christmas Parade in Metropolis.
The VHS band enjoyed marching at SEMO and Murray State homecoming parades. Along with marching and representing Vienna High
School at these parades, they are able to attend the Homecoming games for free. Marching band only has two parades left before their
eventful season comes to an end.

The Junior Varsity consisted of Clint
Collins, Kelin Field, Trevis McGill,
and Caleb New.
The first organized girls team
since 1999-2000 attended the IHSA
Regional which was played at
Governor’s Run in Carlyle. The four
girls representing Vienna were Alisa
Goines, Kristen Hunter; Kassie
Ross, and Jessica Pender. The girl’s
team will lose two seniors, Kristen
Hunter and Alisa Goines, who have
helped rebuild the program. By next
year they will have a six member
team, if all these girls stick to it.
The other five members for the
girl’s team are Ashton Barger, Allison
Bean, Caroline Bremer, Tara
Garrett, and Hillary Wright.
“I appreciate that both teams
played the Massac Patriots stand
out program and saw those matches
as opportunities to see what
premiere programs look like. We
can become this, as long as this
young group keeps their good
attitude and put some work with it,”
stated Coach Bremer.

“Tales of a Dream” This would be when you are
recalling a dream to one of
your friends. Example: “I

Bob’s tales of a dream.”

pickle involved. The pickle
part comes from centuries
ago when winners of sports
were awarded pickles for
their accomplishments. In
those days, pickles were very
hard to come by, and if you
received one, you were obviously a master at your sport.
Pickle Ball was one of the
most highly acclaimed sports
in the late 1800’s. Pickle Ball
is definitely a thing!
“War-War II” This was
a war in history that followed “War War I” The
United States fought in the
war against Germany. It is
often called by history buffs
“World War II.” Example:
Teacher - “Today we are going to learn about War War
II.” War-War II is an
infamous thing!
So the next time you hear
something questionable, ask
yourself, “Is that even a
thing?”

Ms. Reichert said that another
blood drive will be held in the Spring
here at VHS.
