Homecoming Dance
By: Lacie Defoe
The homecoming
dance took place on
Saturday, February 2nd. It
was held from 8:00pm to
12:00 am. The dance had
a wonderful turnout and
the music had everybody
up and moving. The DJ
played really good music
of all types, and not only
that, a few games were
played during the night.
They included the limbo
and an air guitar contest.
The limbo was won by
Rusty Defoe, and Cody
Hanson won the air guitar
contest. Caitlin Gorman
said, “They played music
that kept people dancing
and there was never a
time that the floor was
empty.” Camille Bohnert
said “The dance was
really fun and she had a
good homecoming.”
At 10 o’clock
the homecoming king,
queen, prince and
princess were announced.
The homecoming court
included Faron Beaulieu,
Harrison Nelson, Emily
Nourse, Nissa Dietich
for freshman, Steven
Bresette, Gena Gephart,
Kasie Gokee, Kyle
Newago for sophomores,

The Spirited
Thoughts of
Homecoming
By M.Topping
Erik Nelson- “It was
fun, but it was hard to
get stuff done because of
the snow day. It sucked
that I couldn’t be there on
Friday for the pep rally.”
Kurtis Gordon- “I
thought it was fun
because we took 2nd. I
didn’t like the fact that
tug-of-war was played
back to back and the
way that flag football
went. I felt that this year
a lot of the fun was taken
away from homecoming
because of hallways
and the songs that were
picked for us.”
Britni Zagorski-“It was pretty stressful at
parts, but for the most part it was fun.”
Tiffannie Hanson-“It was fun except the
hallways and not getting to pick our own
songs.”
Tamara Montano-“It was stressful with
the new stuff that was added, but it was
fun. I liked it better last year.”
Andrew Albert-“Good. I had no emotions
at all.”
Lena Ludwig-“Well I think that if people
want more out of Homecoming then they
should be more serious about it and get
more involved. I think there should be a
better activity added instead of the canvas.

Editorial by John Burg
Young hearts are filled with love. Emotions
run high, it’s a stressful time. But for young
love birds its worth the wait. Not. Valentines
day, hah, what a crock of feces. “Valentines
Day is a wonderful demonstration of American stupidity,” says Weston Thier. Forrest
Howk states, “ It’s an American conspiracy
designed by Hallmark and Hershey’s corporations.” Peter Atkins adamantly states, “ What
kind of sick holiday is this? Winged old men
in diapers fly around shooting people in the
heart with arrows.” And he’s right. Do people
really believe they’ll find eternal happiness?
All you’ll get from an arrow in the heart is
an early grave. I think Valentines Day is a
pimple on the face of American society on
the level of Guantanamo Bay, and I won’t
stand for it, or sit either. We must destroy this
fascist machine before it takes over all common sense. For those of you who have seen
through the feeble smokescreen, come, rise
with me now and break the chains.
¡VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
The New Guy!!
I am the new
student, Jonnie Soria, and
I came from Washington.
I had been going to
school there for all my
life until half way through
my senior year when I
had the chance to move
to Wisconsin in hopes of
graduating on time. What
is it like for me to move
to a Wisconsin school?
It is very different in
many ways; it is hard to
get used to not seeing
my friends, family, and
teachers that I have seen
all of my life while going
to school and seeing
everyday at my house.
Then this all changed
just by going to a new
school in a different
state. I now see new
people, teachers, and get
to experience a different
style of living. The thing I like about
this school is the fact that
it is small. I only have
to walk down the hall
to get to my next class
compared to 900 students
crowding the hallways
and a five minute walk
to my locker every hour.
This school is also better
because it is not as strict
and there aren’t any
cameras watching your
every move. Another big
change to get used to is
the weather; it was a big
shock for me when I first
came to this state. The
differences are extreme.
The coldest weather I had
ever experienced before
was about 10 degrees,
compared to -30 wind
chill here.
Overall, I enjoy
being in a very different
town and school because
it gives me the option to
experience new things,
people, and surroundings,
and I like the school I am
at right now.

Do we have Stereotypes?
By: Camille Bohnert
Cheerleaders....
jocks….. science geeks.
Bayfield doesn’t really
have these stereotypical
groups but according to
our students we do have
some. I asked random
kids in the high school
if they thought we had
stereotypes or cliques.
Most of the kids didn’t
really know, “This is
hard” was the response
I heard from quite a few
people. But I did get some
answers. The following
is a list of Bayfield’s
stereotype groups
according to our students.
“GAMERS”
“REZ KIDS”
“SKATEBOARDERS”
“ATHLETES”
“GOTHS/PUNKS”
“BAYFIELD KIDS/
RED CLIFF KIDS”
“REDNECKS”
“WANABEE
GANGSTAS”
A lot of people
told me that we don’t
really have specific
groups. I got the Red
Cliff /Bayfield response
a lot but people weren’t
so sure how to say it. “A
lot of Red Cliff kids hang
out with Bayfield kids
and vice versa, actually”
was something I heard
from just about everyone
who brought this up. It’s
hard to divide our school
into groups. It’s also
hard to tell if we really
have them. One thing
is for sure. We aren’t as
segregated as the schools
in the movies, which is
something I think we can
all agree on.
Calvin &Hobbes never dies
By John Burg
Calvin and
Hobbes, a brilliant comic
of epic proportion. It
makes you think and
laugh at the same time.
Social injustice, environmental problems, human
nature, and the first grade
blues are all subjects
touched upon in the series. And now how awesome it is from a Calvin
and Hobbes enthusiast, “I
think Calvin and Hobbes
is the best comic ever
because of the intellectual
genius and the way they
interact together,” said
Weston Thier who is an
avid reader since the age
of eleven.
Bill Waterson,
the creator of Calvin and
Hobbes and revolutionary
author, is no longer writing Calvin and Hobbes,
but the stories of immeasurable wit, the fear of
contracting cooties, and
absolute friendship between a boy and his tiger
will live on in the hearts
of all those die hard followers. Thank you Mr.
Watterson, thank you.
Students Play
Flag Football
By: Zach Boutin
What good is
homecoming without
some sports that any
student can participate
in? This year the sports
were volleyball and flag
football. Unfortunately,
students were unable
to play due to the
cancellation of school on
Wednesday, January 30.
Flag football was played
Thursday after lunch and
reffed by Mr. O’Neill and
Mr. Penner. Each class
picked four girls and four
guys to play and played
six on six with two subs.
After a couple of hours of
intense play the juniors
(3-0) came out on top
followed by the seniors
(2-1), the sophomores
(1-2), and the freshmen
(0-3). All in all everyone
played hard and, for the
most part, with good
sportsmanship. A student
from each class was
asked what they thought
of the game. Senior,
Malia North said, “I
had fun playing.” Junior
D.J. Bressler said, “I
had a lot of fun because
we won.” Sophomore
Dickie Topping said, “I
had a lot of fun and it
was exciting.” Freshman
Faron Beaulieu said, “It
was awesome. I felt like I
was Tom Brady.”

PLAN
By: Josh Lafernier
Are you thinking
of going to college? All
students going to four
year colleges must take
the ACT test. The ACT
test will set you back 30
Dollars. This April, Sally
Kessler will be giving a
free practice version of
the ACT called “PLAN.”
Usually this test is for
tenth graders but Sally
is making it available to
all Bayfield High School
students.
The great thing
about the PLAN test is
that it is free and has
no risk. No colleges
will be notified of the
results. Students taking
the test will get results
comparable to the real
ACT test. They will get
sub scores in the areas
of math, science, social
studies, English, and a
composite score. The
composite score is the
average of all the other
scores. Look for posters
indicating time and date
of the PLAN test.

Horoscopes
Aries
Your confidence and
energy levels increase
after a period of lull. Your
social agenda is rather
busy, and many projects
that have been stalling are
either revived or begin
to move forward. Love
moves from business-like
and practical to friendly
by mid month, but overall
more impersonal than
you’ve been used to
recently. Super days for
love and money occur on
the 1-2 and 25-26.
Taurus
Career and reputation
matters take front stage
for you. If you’re hoping
to escape attention,
this is not the month.
Others notice you for
what you do, and for
what you don’t do, so
keep it positive. Love
this month involves
sharing philosophies and
good times, as well as
professional goals.
Gemini
Love intensifies in a most
pleasant way, particularly
on the 1-2 and 6-7.
With feelings running
so deep, however, you
do have to watch your
possessiveness. While
you may be feeling on
the groggy side until the
18th, your confidence
builds in the last ten
days of February and
personal initiatives and
projects get a second
wind! You are beginning
to feel braver and more
energetic towards the end
of February.
Cancer
Although you are not
moving forward quickly
quite yet, events behind
the scenes are at play,
conspiring to get you
back into high gear.
Partnerships and oneon-one negotiations are
powerful and revealing
this month.
Leo
Negotiation and
diplomacy are
highlighted, and it is a
favorable time to begin
new relationships or to
re-define existing ones.
You might find that you
are dependent upon a
partner in order for your
life to move forward for
the time being. Love is
more practical than fun
and games until the 17th.
Virgo
February brings the
beginnings of significant
personal changes for you.
A luner eclipse activates
an urge to change your
personal image in a
matter that reflects the
inner changes that have
been in the works for the
past six weeks.
Libra
Your creative juices are
flowing, and any kind of
celebratory, playful,and
just-for-fun endeavors

Skiing to Success
Peter Atkins
The Ashwabay ski team continues to devastate the
competition in the Northern Ski League (NSL). On January 31, Mt.
Ashwabay hosted the third NSL meet. Skiing on familiar territory,
both the Ashwabay boys and girls teams took first. The boys won
the meet with 98 points, 29 points ahead of second place Wausau
West. The girls had 82 points for the win. Individual results for
Bayfield skiers were as follows:

On February 4, the Ashwabay ski team traveled to Mt.
La Crosse for the Quillin’s Cup Invitational. Competing against
skiers from all over Wisconsin, the Ashwabay boys’ team came in
fifth while the girls’ team took seventh. “It was good practice for
State.” said Weston Thier. Unfortunately Elvira Moreno suffered a
freak shoulder dislocation and couldn’t ski. She will be unable to
compete in the rest of the ski meets and will be missed. The final
ski meet of the season is at Granite Peak, Wausau on February 12.
Both Ashwabay teams are most likely going to finish in the top
three in the NSL and compete at the State Meet. The Wisconsin
High School State Meet will be held at Mt. La Crosse on February
17 and 18.

Will Brett Favre
Return?
By: Zach Boutin
With the football season
ending, the same question for the Green Bay
Packers and their fans
lingers again from previous years: will Brett
Favre return for the 20082009 season? According to Coach McCarthy,
“we’ll know in a couple
of weeks.” I surveyed
twenty people to see if
they thought he would
return or not. Eighty
percent of the people
said that he would return, while the other 20%
said no. So what do you
think? Should he throw in
the towel after having one
of the greatest seasons of
his career? Or, should he
return for another season?
Hopefully, we’ll know
soon enough.
Barrel Recovery
Plan
By: S. Reyes-Buffalo
Recently The
Red Cliff Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa
contracted with the EMR
and US Army Corp of
Engineers on Work Plan
Set to safely investigate
the 1,449 barrels and
the 400 tons of crates
deposited in Lake
Superior by the Twin
Cities Army Ammunition
Plant; which at the time
was run by Honeywell
Corp.
The Work
Plan Set includes three
components; a Field
Sampling Plan (FSP), a
Site Safety and Health
Plan (SSHP), and a
Quality Assurance Project
Plan (QAPP). The work
was funded by the US
Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) and the
Native American Lands
Environmental Mitigation
Program (NALEMP).
The council
in Red Cliff will be
receiving grant for
603,000 to proceed with
the Work Set Plan. The
will receive 15,000 for
their budget in October
of this year. Upon
completion of the FSP,
sufficient data will be
collected to perform
a risk assessment to
determine whether
sufficient threat exists.
Two distinct
phases of investigation
are discussed in the
Field Sampling Plan, a
geophysical sampling
plan, and a sampling
recovery plan. The
Geophysical portion
discusses the methods
and procedures that will
be used to determine the
location and condition
of the potential barrels
submerged. There are
two types of geophysical
surveys; side scan and
sector scan survey. The
side scan survey will be
used to determine the
location of the potential
The History of Valentine’s Day
barrels, while the sector
scan survey will be used
to pinpoint location and
assess the conduction
of the potential barrels.
The second phase will
consist of lake water
and sediment sampling
followed by barrel
recovery and barrel
content sampling. The
sampling and recovery
portion of this project
will be used to collect the
analytical data required in
order to perform a human
heath risk assessment
and an ecological risk
assessment in accordance
with the EPA Risk
Assessment Guidance for
Superfund Sites.
The
environmental council
of Red Cliff also will be
selecting student from
the BHS science class to
accompany them on the
vessel in October to help
with the Field Sampling
Plan.
By: M Topping
Every February 14 people send their friends or loved ones cards, candy, flowers, and gifts, but does anyone
know where the tradition started or where it came from? The exact history of Valentine’s Day is a mystery, but
everyone still knows it as a day of romance. Today Valentine’s Day contains characteristics of both Christian
and Roman tradition. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or
Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend says that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When
Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he
outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing that Claudius II was wrong, opposed him and continued
to marry lovers secretly. When Claudius discovered what Valentine was doing he ordered him to be put to
death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine was put to death because he attempted to help Christians escape
harsh Roman prisons where they were beaten and tortured.
According to another legend, Valentine sent the first love greeting while in prison to a young girl he
fell in love with. The young girl was thought to be the jailer’s daughter, who visited him during his time spent
in prison. Before his death, people believe that he sent her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ the
same expression that is commonly used today.
Even though the history of Valentine’s Day is not known for sure, St.Valentine was one of the
most popular saints in England and France during the Middle Ages.

Setting nets under the ice
By. Shawn Hanson
Are you wondering
how fisherman set gillnets under the ice. A lot of
people don’t know how it is
done but you will after you
read this. Setting nets under
the ice is a difficult task
if you don’t know exactly
what you’re doing.
The first thing you
do is find a spot on the ice
that you want to set your
nets. After you picked the
spot where you want to set,
you drill 3 or 4 hole with an
ice auger and use a chisel
to chop the ice in between
the holes out. About a foot
away from the hole you
chop a hole about 5 inches
into the ice and you put
a stick into it and pack
slush around the stick so it
freezes. The next thing you
do is you have to get your
running board and tie a 325
foot rope to the end of your
running board. A running
board is a 100 foot long
board made out of cedar. At
the end of the rope you tie a
net to it. Now you take one
end of the running board
and push in down into the
hole and slide the whole
running board under the
ice. The next thing you do
is you take a 100 foot rope
and walk in the direction
the board if going until the
rope is tight. At the end of
the rope you have to drill
another hole. Then you take
a long bent hook called a
sweep hook and stick it
down the hole and grab the
Keetchua,

Even though we don’t
hangout as much as we
used to, we are still there
for each other no matter
how busy or tired we are.
We have both called other
people are best friend at
some point, but for some
reason when somebody
asks me who my best
friend is your name is the
one I always say.
HAPPY
VALENTINES DAY!

end off the running board.
Now you take a long sharp
hook and grab the running
board and slide it under the
ice until you get to the end.
Then you grab your 100
foot rope and walk in the
direction the board is going
and drill another hole at the
end. You have to slide the
board under the ice again
and walk to rope out and
drill a hole. At this hole you
will drill 2 holes instead of
1. This hole is called a net
hole. Now you grab your
hook and pull up the 325
foot line you tied onto the
end of the running board
and walk toward the first
hole you drilled. While one
guys is pulling the rope toward the first hole, another
guys is spreading the net at
the first hole so the nets go
under the ice straight. As
soon as the guy pulling the
rope gets to the first hole,
one whole net is under the
ice. Now you get an anchor
and tie it to a long rope.
About 6 feet up from the
anchor you tie a loop in the
rope and you tie your net
onto the loop. Now you put
the anchor in the hole and
let it sink until it hits the
bottom. After it hits the bottom you cut the rope and tie
another loop and put it over
the stick. Now you take the
325 foot rope and tie it back
to the end of the running
board and do the whole process over until you set all of
your nets.
The Boy’s
Basketball
Season
By M. Gordon
The boy’s basketball
team is coming to the
end of its season with
a record of (7-11)
overall and (4-11) in the
Indianhead Conference.
With tournaments around
the corner the Trollers
need to regroup and play
good basketball. Bayfield
was given a number (4)
seed which means our
first tournament game
is at home, against the
Drummond Lumberjacks.
Earlier in the season the
Trollers were on a slump
with two starters out
because of injuries and
suspensions. Now with
two starters back and the
returning three seniors,
the Trollers are doing
really well, and playing
some good basketball. We
also benefited by good
playing time and minutes
from the underclassmen.

in third.
Safe Structures
The Cat in the Hat
led the sophomores
to second place.
P. Atkins
This year homecoming wasn’t quite the same without the hallway decorations. In years past, hallways were transformed into board
games, movie scenes, and landscapes, but not any more. With all the
tragic school burnings in the news and the radical reforms in school
fire safety, it was recently decided that the tons of paper, cardboard,
and other highly flammable materials that were used to cover the
walls of the halls are “fire hazards.”
To replace the hallway decorations, Mr. Homecoming himself, Alan Rogers, and the homecoming committee came up with the
idea of free standing structures. Students were to create a structure
that had to be supported only by a 3’ by 3’ platform and fit through
the doors into the gym.

Arrhhh matey. The seniors took first

Pie Please
This is the first of many tasty recipes to come in future Septentrion issues.
Enjoy this tasty favorite every time of year for a delicious compliment to any meal. The recipe was taken from
the 2008 senior class, which they used to make their Applefest pies.
The Senior Standard
-crust
5 cups flour
¾ lb. lard
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1 egg yolk w/ water (equaling one cup)
-save the egg whites and brush them on the dough crust before baking
-once the crust is complete and ready for baking, put into it enough apples so that the pie has a “heaping” look
to it.
-In a separate bowl, mix together a 5:1 ratio mixture of sugar to flour with a touch of cinnamon and add one
heaping cup of the mixture to the apples, which should already be in the pie crust.
- Finish the pie off with one tablespoon butter on the top of the pie before sticking it in the oven.
Make sure to make enough pie so that you will not have to pace yourself when eating it….you must make
enough so that it is worth it to yourself and others.

BPP Holds First Ever
Table Tennis Tourney
By Weston Thier
Some readers may remember the recent
article (December ’07) on the fledgeling ping pong
club at Bayfield High School. Put together by
teacher representative Darryl Penner and several of
his young colleagues, the club is currently holding
its first ever informal ping pong tournament.
There are eight people participating now, with the
objective being to set up a type of ranking system
for future tournaments. According to veteran BPP
club member John Burg, “The camaraderie and
competition is pretty cool between the participants.”
If you are interested in joining, or have any ideas of
future tournaments, contact Mr. Penner in his room
located in the hallway to the band room.
