In my opinion, I think integrity is one of the most important things that build character. Integrity is having the quality of being honest while sticking with your principles and morals. You will always need to have integrity, but I think that the most critical time to have integrity in your life is when you are younger, especially because that’s usually when others try to influence you to think or believe that one thing is true and that’s what you should believe in. DAKOTA WERNER GNEWS Equality Equality is when one person places high value on making sure that he/she treats others equally even though they may look, act, or believe differently than he/she does. I think everyone should be treated the same and not excluded from things, but it is human nature to judge people before we really get a chance to know them. It doesn’t matter what race you are or what your sexually preference is; you are human and you deserve to be treated just like everybody else. Equality is what shows people how you really think and feel about others. CHECK OUT the 40 Developmental Asset list from Search Institute. FEB, 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Knowing someone’s faults and weaknesses and still loving them unconditionally, and standing by them through thick and thin.

Feb. 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL What would you say has been the happiest day of your life? “The day I married my wife Kristi.” What are you most passionate about in life? “My faith. I am very strong in my faith.” What would you say gives your life the most fulfillment? “Helping others get better. That’s one of the main reasons I’m a teacher.” What do you wish you could spend more time on? “I wish I could spend more time outside because I love nature but it’s hard because of work.” What is your idea of a perfect date? “Taking my wife to her favorite restaurant, taking her shopping then buying her chocolate.” (: Kelsy Grant GNEWS How long have you and your wife been married? “Ten years.” Do you buy her a gift OR do you make her a gift? “I always buy her FIVE roses (why 5?) 5 for luck, because it’s my favorite number.” How would you explain Valentine’s Day? “It’s a good way to show your appreciation for your spouse or significant other.” Do you believe and handmade gift is more special than a bought gift? “Yes, but I usually buy one because I am not very crafty.” FEB. 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL MICHAEL QUINN GNEWS FEB, 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL The Super Bowl XLIX is over the New England Patriots finished the job with 20 seconds left in the game, Although I thought that the Seattle Seahawks were going to win the coach ran a horrible play. The one yard line play you would think would be simple give it to Marshawn lynch and finish the game off then the Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl two years straight. But they threw it to Malcolm Butler.One amazing catch doesn’t mean he can do two. But the teams played their hearts out all season long making it a great season with both records 14-3. Tom Brady said that he wants to give the M.V.P truck to Malcolm Butler for the “game winning catch”. The Super Bowl XLIX is over and now we wait for the next year’s Super Bowl. Christopher Hettinger on to perform during the halftime show for Super Bowl XLIX on February 1st, Billboard reports. The multiplatinum pop star had been in the running alongside Rihanna and Coldplay, according to The Wall Street Journal. WSJ also reported that some artists were asked if they would agree to a "pay to play" deal by making a financial contribution to the NFL in exchange for the major national exposure granted from such a highprofile gig. But sources indicated that the proposition "got a chilly reception from the candidates' representatives." Perry joked about the Super Bowl negotiations this past Saturday during a recent appearance on ESPN's College Game Day. "We have had some conversations, and I would be honored, of course," she said. "But I have let them know that I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl. The ball is in their field." A representative for Perry was not immediately available for comment. The NFL's "pay to play" plan hasn't gone over too well with agents, either. "Obviously it is a marketing boon to play halftime for the Super Bowl," David T. Viecelli, agent for Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons and St. Vincent, told Rolling Stone. "But I hope that everybody tells them to go get stuffed." The league rarely pays artists who perform during the halftime show, though they do typically cover travel and production expenses, which can reach as high as $1 million. In recent years, the halftime show has continued to grow in popularity —last year's performance with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers brought in a record 115.3 million viewers, while only 112.2 million watched the actual game. –Rolling Stones Magazine GNEWS Cue the "Firework’s”: Katy Perry has officially signed FEB, 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL The G-Men are now 13-2 in there season right now. After the homecoming win against New Richmond they had to come back and play a tough Amelia Barons team on January 20th. Our boys played hard and never gave up but it just wasn't good enough. Amelia was just hitting that night and we couldn't compare with there size. It was a hard fought game that our boys came up short on with the score of 61-51. Also during that game Senior Jacob Miller scored his 1,000 point for his high school career. Jacob was the player of the game that game too with 14 points, 6 assists and 5 steals.This game is the second loss for the G-Men this season and hopefully the last. GAGE BRADLEY GNEWS After that game our boys had to go to Goshen High School that Friday to play against a scrappy Warriors team on the 23rd. Goshen hung around with us during the first half then after that our boys kept going at them and they finally gave up and our boys kept on extending the lead till about halfway through the 4th quarter when the Warriors started getting hot again and cut the lead down to about 7 but we always came back down on the other end and answered with a bucket so our boys came out with the win with the score of 77-67. Clinton McElroy was player of the game. On Tuesday the 27th our boys traveled to western brown to play the Broncos in one of their non conference games looking for another easy win just like they did in the holiday tournament. During the first half the Broncos came out hot and stuck around with us during the first and second quarter. We were only leading by 1. In the second half we came out hot and extended our lead to about 15 and we ended up winning with the score of 71-62 and that puts the G-Men's record to 13-2. Feb, 2014 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Hope… I have hope in the fact that I will adopt my step sister when I turn 18. She is the only reason I keep fighting to prosper in the things I do. What do you have hope in? Hope is the belief that circumstances in the future will be better. It's not a wish that things will get better, but an actual belief, even when there may be no evidence that anything will change. Hope can sometimes be the only thing that keeps a person fighting and going. noun 1. the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best:. 2. a particular instance of this feeling: 3. grounds for this feeling in a particular instance: 4. a person or thing in which expectations are centered: 5. something that is hoped for: SAMANTHA WADDELL GNEWS …Is seeing light in the darkness.

GNEWS Spot! MICHAELQUINN FEB., 2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL History Of Valentine’s Day On February 14 we celebrate a very important thing. We celebrate love. I have always wondered why we celebrate it on this day and why? I did some research to answer this question and what I found is incredible. We start with two men and their names are Valentine and Claudius II. Claudius II was the Emperor of the Roman Empire in 268 A.D. - 270 A.D. He is very important to our tale, but we’ll get to that later. Valentine, at the time, was a holy priest in Rome under the rule of Emperor Claudius II. Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II, he banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. Claudius thought that a married man made a poorer solider. Valentine didn’t like this idea, so he continued to marry people, in secret of course. Claudius, however, found out about this and on February 14, 270 A.D. he had Valentine beheaded. So, in other words we celebrate love because a man was killed, but not just that, we celebrate it because he had courage to do what he thought was right. I never really liked this holiday, but when I saw this amazing tale it made me love Valentine’s Day. Not for the death of a saint, oh no, not that but for the courage he had to do what he did. Love is a powerful thing. It can move mountains, cross oceans. It is the only thing in the universe that, in my opinion, is pure. Not that sappy high school fling that they call love, but true love, where you have no purpose without that special person. Love is powerful. SARA STEWART 1. National Serpent Day. 2.

GNEWS February Holidays FEB 2014 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Capricorn If you are thinking about making a move be sure to create a good image first. The more mysterious and unfathomable you can appear the more of chance you will have with getting to the point you want Aquarius You badly want to tell someone special just how you feel about them, but at the same time your natural sense of caution is preventing you from doing so, and you may even be tempted to do or say things just to maintain some kind of defense but just be honest and open because there is nothing to fear but your own negative thoughts Pisces This is a great time to consider taking the plunge with respect to a certain relationship. It won't be a question of immediately seizing your prey, and there could be a bit of a problem, as you both have somewhat different agendas. But if you persist, you will find that the differences between you actually draw you closer together Aries This month is giving you a choice. You and your partner could go either of two ways, so feel the need to discuss some things. However anything you say may get you into deeper trouble and won’t actually help. As neither of you are actually clear on what you want. It may be better to have this conversation later Taurus The energy of the day is creating an opportunity for you to move in new circles and make some different friends, especially if you are looking for romance. But you will need to be a little more adventurous, and also stop worrying that you may be making the wrong impression. If you can focus on your positive points, rather than reinforcing the negative ones, you will enjoy more success Gemini Don’t try and force your hand in a certain situation. The relationship that you are trying to make work could work a lot better if you could just stop worrying so much. Sometimes too much involvement complicates things unnecessarily. Things would work better if you let them happen Austin Whittington GNEWS Cancer Leo Try and be more sociable than usual this month because this month is bringing the opportunity to meet some very interesting people and you could miss that if you’re not looking for it Make an effort to listen and to really hear what another person is saying because it may bring you closer to a special person so be prepared for anything to happen Virgo Libra This is a great time to be with friends If you are having issues then discuss them with your nearest and dearest. If you are trying to find romance then just be yourself You don’t have to go all out to find that special someone Take some time for yourself this month It may seem like a bad idea and you may have some second thoughts about taking a break from people but it will be good for everybody including you Scorpio Sagittarius This is a great time to get away for a while. You have been very busy and really need to have a break and reconnect with your partner (current or prospective). Whether this means staying at home and cooking a wonderful meal, or going somewhere peaceful, the rest and tranquility will do you both good Although you may find yourself confused on how to proceed this month in respect to a certain relationship and although it may prove virtually impossible to do anything about it all at the moment, you will certainly know exactly what steps to take when the time is right For more interesting horoscopes visit www.Horoscope.com FEB.,2015 GEORGETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Where was your first date?
