Caroline was thrilled with
making the Top 16. She said, “Since
this was my first year to compete, I
was very happy to place in the Top

again next year, and hopefully do
even better!”
To all King and

By Kalie McGinnis
This year’s yearbook design
winners were Sophomore Alex
Shelton and Freshman John
Gearing.
Every year Mr. Palmer holds a
yearbook design contest for the
Vienna High School yearbook.
The designs can be hand drawn
or done by computer.
Alex’s design was chosen for
the front cover. Alex was excited
about winning. He commented, “It
was awesome to win because I get
half off the yearbook price. I really
don’t know how I got the idea....
but it worked.”
John’s design was chosen for
the back cover. John was very

shocked when he found out he won.
He stated, “I was surprised because
I didn’t think they would actually pick
mine. I thought that the design
applies to both the Seniors and
Freshman, as well as anybody in
between.”
Since there were two winners
this year, both will receive a
yearbook at half price.
Mr. Palmer was pleased with
the number of entries. He stated,
“It was nice to have so many entries.
I would like to especially thank Ms.
Clayton’s first and second period
classes for their entries. In the
future, I hope that more Seniors will
enter because this is their yearbook.”
John Gearing designed the back cover of the yearbook.

I know it’s an old album. I know it’s
been around for about six years. But,
something still reaches out to me after all
of those years. If you like catchy melodies
then listen to Everclear’s breakthrough hit
on this album entitled “Wonderful”, a
song about just closing your eyes and
making everything that is going wrong in
your life disappear for a moment. There is
always the upbeat song “AM Radio” for all
of you pop people. If you are a true music
enthusiast and don’t mind listening to
songs that never were mainstream and
overplayed on the radios, then I would
suggest trying “Unemployed Boyfriend”.
The remake of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed
Girl” isn’t too shabby either.
Scissor Sisters...where to begin with
their highly-anticipated album? Two
words: sophomore slump. Most people
disagree with me on that opinion, but I
have valid reasons for making such a
statement. First, this has nothing close
to the lyrical and musical talent put in to
it. I’m not saying that they aren’t talented
and the songs are easy to play. I’m only
pointing out that they did not take as
much time to plan and write this album
like they did their self-titled debut. The
album can pretty much be summed up
by listening to the first track, “I Don’t
Feel Like Dancin”. This is a pop album
with some traces of disco and funk
sprinkled strategically throughout. All in
all, worth listening to just to get it out of
your system.
