This special opportunity took place periods 1, 2, and 3, but students who have Spanish in later periods could get a pass if they had study hall to attend one session. Maria Clara Sanchez Vanegas, 26, is from Colombia. She made a special PowerPoint presentation that explained her home country’s culture, geography, location, etc. Maria said that our school’s structure is really different from hers at home. She has been to the malls up here and they even have a McDonald’s in Colombia. Despite being really quiet, she grabbed the students’ attention. Julissa Vasquez, 37, is from Panama. She has only been here for two weeks. She got satellite pictures off the computer to show her country’s hot spots, culture, seasons, geography, etc. Like Maria, her school’s structure is quite different from ours. She said she likes to go to beaches and go to parties in her home country. Here she likes to go to all the different places. She said, “It is very nice here but I would go back home.” Spanish teacher Mrs. Debra Bressler said there are many benefits from the guests visiting our school’s Spanish classes. “Someone other than a teacher can carry more credibility and they are experts of their own country and they can answer more questions than a teacher not familiar with that area,” said Bressler. “It is also nice to have a break from me and it brings a change to the classroom. Sometimes they bring their own resources which helps out a lot.” “The girls did a great job for 1, 2, and 3 period. Julissa was only here for two weeks so her English wasn’t proficient but everyone could understand her,” stated Bressler. The classes got some special opportunities during the special visit from the guests. One opportunity is Homestay. Homestay is where a foreign language student comes to live in your home for a week, month or year. As stated by Mrs. Bressler it is highly recommended because in order to communicate you need to learn the language. You will find it is a necessity to learn the language to be comfortable with the special foreign guest living in your home. You can also learn the language faster. But that isn’t all the opportunities the students got. FLS, or Foreign Language Services, is affiliated with Lock Haven University but they have their own classes for the students. There are students from all over the world that come to our area to learn English. For more information contact Mrs. Donovan at LHU if interested in being a host family for a week to a couple of weeks. Overall, these special guests really enraptured the students and got to have some laughs, making for a Spanish class that was more than interesting. Student Gets Note-Worthy Recognition By Chelsea Moore For the first time since 1986, a student from Jersey Shore advanced to the next level of the Pennsylvania State Choral Competition. That student is music buff Karianne Miller (11), member of JSHS’s chorus and band ensemble. This competition was huge, with 242 members of a chorus and a day and a half to learn 10 new songs. As nerve-wracking as it may seem, Karianne tends to stay pretty chill about her auditions, though she was in shock about actually making it to the next round of the competition. How does she do it? Karianne’s musical career can probably pinpoint a beginning at birth, being the daughter of a music teacher. “I have an unfair advantage because I have a certified music teacher to go to anytime at all,” says Karianne, “but it’s relaxing to know I have extra help.” But her relation to a music teacher can also put a little pressure on her. “If a parent is good at something, everyone expects the children to be good at it too. I feel like it’s almost expected of me to be musically inclined.” Karianne also takes private lessons (Cont. on pg. 3) Karianne Miller (11) Student (Cont from Mr. Hoffman.

NEWS Page 3 Student (Cont. from page 2) Science PSSA’s from Mr. Hoffman. While most people singing onstage think of the best ways to get offstage, Karianne thinks of certain people and memories, depending on the song she’s singing. She also wears rings that say “hope” and “faith.” Though you can’t expect to see her on American Idol, (“I don’t think I have what they’re looking for”), you can definitely expect to see her making a mark in the music industry sometime in the future. By Trevor Rosato Science PSSAs what a total drag as if there weren’t already too many tests. This is a typical complaint from sophomores and juniors around the school. Science PSSA testing took place on April 30th, last Wednesday. Will they count next year for this year’s sophomores and if they do how could students possibly cover the entire scientific world? Mrs. Bierly of the science department had plenty to say about the PSSAs and how they would affect students. Mrs. Bierly also mentioned that a specific science curriculum may be set up in an attempt to standardize all science taught K-12. Due to the No Child Left Behind program all students by 2014 will be required to pass all PSSAs (possibly including the Science exam) with at least a proficient grade or better. This could prove serious problems due to lack of concern on behalf of our student body. When asked about the problem of our students not taking the test seriously Mrs. Bierly said, “It has to count for something before students will recognize the importance of the PSSA.” According to Skyler Sojka (11) Mrs. Bierly is right. Skyler says he would take the test seriously and try if it counted towards something. However this year’s tests didn’t count and Skyler’s voice seems to be a general opinion “They sucked, they were just bad. Waste of time, there is no soft way to put it, it was a test, and it sucked.” Jess Williams (11) may have pointed out the real reason why students were unable to take the test seriously. “Problem was they told us it didn’t count, so instead we all drew Pokémon.” For those unfamiliar with the term Pokémon was actually an animated show played on WB about little creatures that do battle. After all the fights and all the controversy will these difficult Science PSSAs be counted towards next year’s juniors? Chances aren’t looking good for students looking to avoid another test. Bulldog News Corner By Lily O’Shaughnessy This month, the Bulldog News has a very big project ahead of them. The votes are in and the cameras are ready to roll. With many of the staffers also helping with the Senior Video, the Bulldog staff is a little strained. Once again, producer Jeffery Dincher gave the Paw Print the low down on the last episode of the senior crew and the last episode the 2007-2008 school year. “This episode is going to feature Spring Activities, Relay for Life, Prom, Senior Advice to the Underclassmen and some Behind the Scenes of Bulldog News,” Jeff spilled. Many of the staffers realize that it’s their last episode, but Jeff was willing to give his thoughts on the matter. “Personally, it’s depressing. I’ll miss working with Seth Bowman the most because of his personality. I’m also going to miss the fact that I have a lot of ideas brewing that will possibly never be shared with anyone from the school, unless I make a website. I’ll most likely make them for myself. “The two things I’m going to probably miss the most are being involved in such a big project like this, and when we as a crew feel that the episode we have just released is amazing and people come up to us and give us compliments on it.” Any last words on Bulldog News? “I have a personal package that I’m contemplating on releasing, but I won’t go in to details about it. I wish the underclass who takes over Bulldog next year the best of luck,” he said. Senior Memory Video By Lily O’Shaughnessy Seniors, it’s time to hand in those photos of us when we were in elementary school, and maybe even kindergarten up to our senior year. DVD Yearbook staff member Codi Costa and a few Bulldog News members are taking all of the photos and placing them into a “slideshow” type video, accompanied by interviews with students from the senior class. Paw Print talked to Codi and Jeff Dincher to get the scoop on the video. (Cont. on pg. 4) NEWS Page 4 Senior Video (Cont. from pg. 3) “I scanned and uploaded all of the photos that came in. It took a lot of time,” commented Costa on the subject. “At first I was a little overwhelmed and I got angry, but it’s done.” Jeff added, “Codi pretty much put everything together, photo wise, and gave it over to us. We’ll definitely have some senior interviews and we will make sure that there are limited student repeats.” “I hope we won’t make the mistake of playing the video over the media center because of the constant technical difficulties. Personally I think it’s a waste of money,” said Jeff. Plans are to broadcast the senior video on the last day of school, and a reminder to those underclassmen who think they can sneak in to the auditorium when it’s being shown: Don’t. You’ll have your turn soon enough. Talent Show a Hit By Kaylyn Yost The turnout at the 2008 talent show may have been less than impressive, but the performers let the audience leave satisfied. The show started with our very own high school dance team performing to Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous”. A highlight of the show was the percussion section doing a piece from stop. Another high point was Curtis Eckard, (10) singing and playing “First day of my life” by Bright Eyes, and Josh Hines, (10) singing his own rendition of John Mayer’s “How much it hurts”. The show concluded with a Blue Grass band performing a few songs. Overall the performances were outstanding. A big thanks to the drama club for making the show possible, and to the performers that had the guts to show everyone their talent!

Get a Summer Job By Kirsten Morse As the school year ends and the summer begins, many students find themselves looking for summer jobs. Farms start hiring detasselers, parents start hiring sitters, and pools hire life guards. Summer jobs seem to help make the time go by and vacation money is always good to have. When looking for a job, keep a few things in mind: 1) Make sure it is something that you are not wanting to quit after one day on the job; 2) Make sure it is something that you are interested in and semi good at; and 3) Make sure that you get good money out of it. HA well that’s not the most important thing but it sure is high on my pro/con list. Several students shared their summer work plans. Maybe you’ll see them out and about as well. • “I plan to work at the Jersey Pool this summer in the concession stand. This is my first year and I’m excited to see how everything goes.” Jessica Sweely (11) • “I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and I love every minute of it. I love children so my summer job is perfect for me.”Jessica Butler (12) • “This is my first year working at Phil-It-Up and I love being able to eat the ice cream and I love the people that I work with.” Alicia Thompson (12) So when you’re sitting at home with nothing to do this summer just remember there are always places looking to hire high school students.

Despite this being only Tyler’s second year doing track he has excelled this year and plans on doing track in college. “Maybe LHU, but I hope to get offers from more schools after states because it will help with the costs” said Tyler about his plans for college. Tyler has been offered a scholarship from Lock Haven University but he plans on getting more after states.

Boys’ track has been on fire this year only losing one league meet and a new record also has been set for the shot put by Tyler Thomas with a throw of 55 feet 9 3/4 inches. Katie Sprague has also broken a record for the girls this season for the third time in the pole vault at 10 feet. The boys’ tennis team has won 10 of its games for the first time in its existence and the boys baseball team is ranked first in the race for the league title. S P O R T S Page 10 May Athletes of the Month Chelsea Baier By Lesli Cuebas Female Athlete of the Month for May is Chelsea Baier. She has participated track since her 7th grade year. Chelsea has thrown for track for 3years. Her best accomplishment was in her junior year. She threw a 107’ in the Javelin and placed 3rd at districts. “I haven’t decided if I am going to do track in college, but I think it would be a great challenge,” Baier said. “My goal for the future is to attend college and graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science.” In 9th grade, Chelsea did swimming for the school. She also has done out-of-school softball as well. “I am thankful to be named Athlete of the Month,” Baier said. “I feel recognized because people believe I work hard enough at my sport to be recognized.” Josh Wrench By Lily O’Shaughnessy The May male Athlete of the Month is senior, Joshua Wrench. Josh participates on the varsity baseball team, as the starting catcher for all teams. Josh has participated in four years of high school baseball, 10 years of Little League baseball, American Legion baseball and will continue to play baseball at Lycoming College in the upcoming year. Josh has received many awards for participating in this sport. “I’ve won for the District 4 champions back in 2006, the SVL League champs for the high school last year, the District 12 champion team for the Senior League in 2007, and the region champion team for American Legion in 2007,” said Wrench. Some of Josh’s out of school activities are hunting, fishing, camping, taking care of his horses, restoration of old machinery, working with firearms, and weight lifting. When asked how it feels to be Athlete of the Month Josh replied, “It feels great to be given the honor of Athlete of the Month, but I think the whole baseball team is deserving of this award because of all the all-around team effort that makes us successful.” Things ar sauces (or any good fruit for that chase it additionally.

If you’re a big fruit eater like me, you’ve probably realized if you want 2 apple sauces (or any good fruit for that matter), you have to purchase it additionally. But are you aware when you pay for a lunch you are suppose to get your choice of 2 fruits or vegetables ,or a combination of both? It doesn’t matter if it’s two of the same fruits you want—you paid once, you should be able to get it. The response of Ben Marzo, food service director, to the problem was, “If it’s in the school lunch guidelines, I can’t go against it.” But don’t try to tell me it’s in some policy that we can’t duplicate a fruit when, if it’s pears or pineapples, the staff has no problem letting us get two of them. Evidently they’re the cheap fruits. Our lunch staff may say it’s because they’re in short supply, and that may be accurate, but come on! If it happens every time, wouldn’t you think they’d order more? Although the company contracted to ensure our cafeteria sells healthy food would like us to believe it’s all in the best interest of the students, and that they want us to be purchasing nutritional choices and such, that’s bogus. We can buy 10 bags of chips if we want, or an unlimited number of ice creams — but when it comes to healthy choices, we pay the price. But if we put it together, it makes sense. They make a lot more money from kids buying unhealthy products than they would fruit. Fruit costs more and when they buy chips in bulk, they make a considerable amount more of money. Marzo, who works for the Nutrition Group, commented, “I want kids to buy as much [food] as they can; obviously that’s what I’m in the business for.” Sounds to me like the company is either promoting obesity or money hungry. Peaches, peaches, get your peaches…but only if you’ve got an early lunch. Why are we in short supply of the much loved frozen peaches!? I got the scoop from Marzo. First, the company doesn’t even buy the peaches. They’re donated. So when they run out, that’s all they’ve got. But don’t you think if they donated the extra money the company is making should go to buy more frozen peaches for the kids that unfortunately have a later lunch? Of course not. Remember, fruit is expensive, and that wouldn’t be right making the company actually use some of the money they’re making on us to provide us with a wholesome meal. And if you’re in 7th period lunch, you aren’t even guaranteed that. On Chicken Patty Tuesday April 22nd, the last 30 students or so didn’t have a choice. They ran out of everything but chicken patty and if they didn’t like it...too bad for them, huh? Money can only do so much, I guess. I’m sure the company figures we’ll deal with what they give us since we’re supposed to help plan the meal according to the wellness plan. It states “students will be an active part of menu planning through regularly scheduled meetings and taste testing.” Um, is it just me or did our student body somehow miss-out on that opportunity? Enough with my money complaints. I’ll just accept that the world is greedy and when you’ve got no money of your own, you take it from the easiest source: the kids. But we are giving you the money you ask, and we just want a full meal that follows the rules. On Tuesday May 6th, students found mold in their yummy sour cream. Mhmm good! But the staff said not all containers were contaminated, so they didn’t throw them all out. It was kind of like the luck of the draw, you know? At least on the same day when some students in 4th period lunch got outdated milk cartons, it was their own stupidity for not checking the dates. We know it would take SOOO long for our staff to check themselves, and it’s such a strenuous job; I wouldn’t want to make them work. As far as work goes, the ladies have to take our cards and scan A student’s moldy sour cream. them and press approximately 3 buttons per person. I can see how that can be so tough and cause them to flip out. That happened to me on May 7th when I was short a quarter on my debit card. But, I would have known that if the lunch ladies would have told me the Continued on page 12 OPINIONS Page 12 Cafeteria (cont. from page 11) day before I was low on my card. Did you know they are supposed to notify you if you’re under $5 on your card? Nope, me neither until I looked it up, because usually you have to ask how much is on your card. That’s okay; the lady talked about me after I left and just because she is half deaf doesn’t mean everyone else is. I just want a fair meal. I’m a big peaches fan, obviously, and I’d like my money to go to good use and good service. I’m not satisfied and these are just my complaints, we all have a list of our own. So what do you say we pull out a copy of the wellness policy and our schools lunch policy and start giving us what we pay for…thanks! Lunch lady eating frozen peaches. Steph Says... By Steph Fleming This column is supposed to be my reflections or some sort of advice I could give you. I’ll do my best. I’ve been on Paw Print, more or less, for three years. In ninth grade I took the introductory course and in 10th I freelanced a couple stories, one which was published in the Sun-Gazette. It wasn’t until 11th that I was actually a part of the staff. Senior year I became Chief Editor of the school paper. Looking back, I am grateful for my experience on the Paw Print. I’ve learned a lot about various writing techniques and how to interview strangers. My first interview in 9th was with Mrs. Thomas and it was in reference to a story about the drink machines. I know, super exciting but I was scared out of my mind to interview the principal. However, I found that I was very comfortable with interviewing people and now, in my senior year, have interviewed Mrs. Thomas on several more occasions. I do not want to delve more into my role on the Paw Print. What I do want to address is something more relevant to all students. Senior year. Senior year is going to be different from every other year of schooling you, as underclassmen, have experienced so far. Everything changes. I will try to picture this for you. Think of the biggest roller coaster you have ever ridden or wouldn’t ride. That is senior year. You are the person in the first set of seats. Enjoy. I think as a senior you find out more about your fellow classmen and who you will all be as adults, out in the “real world.” Everyone through high school is so obsessed with being popular and pleasing other people that they forget who they are, on the inside. After senior year, it’s just you. Maybe you’ll keep around a few of your closest friends but the people you grew up with are gone, chasing their own dreams, having children, and living life. Honestly, I am half ready to get out into the real world and leave all the high school drama behind but the other half of me wants to stay here forever. The high school experience is something you suffer through at times but you’ll look back and miss it. It’s also one thing that isn’t supposed to last. Take what you can from this school (don’t take that as a permission to steal, it’s metaphorical). Education is power. Trying to avoid sounding corny on all possible levels, believe in you. Sometimes as teenagers becoming adults we forget who we are and what we are trying to accomplish. Never give up on yourself. Not everyone is the most athletic or the most intelligent, but you can bring something else to this school and this world that no one else can. I can’t tell you what that is; you have to find it out for yourself. We all do. I don’t know what I am supposed to try and tell you with this column. Be your own person? Don’t drink and drive? Be responsible adults? I know that 99.9 % of the people who read this won’t care. I don’t need that percentile to. If I can reach point one percent of you and make a difference, then it’s a start. The question is: what difference will you make? leaving, because I have a habit o And you know what? If it gets the ently I remind people of Amanda Paper. I hear she’s a real *****, s blance.

By Shana Rhine Can I get a hallelujah?! I am so sick of this school—I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s true. I’m guessing most of the Journalism class is thankfully on their knees praying that I’m leaving, because I have a habit of being a tyrant of sorts. And you know what? If it gets the job done, I’ll do it. Apparently I remind people of Amanda from that MTV show The Paper. I hear she’s a real *****, so I guess I see the resemblance. I’d be lying if I said this year wasn’t a complete roller coaster. I started off the year crying in a bathroom stall [long story], and it’ll probably end that way too. I went a long way during my stint in journalism. Freshman year I was in Intro— I wrote bad stories, had horrible grammar, and got whipped into shape by Mr. Dauberman. My sophomore year I decided to take a break from writing—I’ve been doing it in various ways all my life [I’ve got published poetry. Yeah, I rock it like that.], and I wanted to see how I fared without it. In short, it sucked—I made sure to take journalism again my junior year. I discovered that I LOVED writing opinion pieces, hated writing news stories, and that watching Dance Drier play “Cat Cannonball” made any day instantly better. Flash forward to this year—my final [thank God] year at JS. I’m Opinions Editor now, which rocks because I like to be able to boss people around. Maybe that’s not exactly a desirable talent, but trust me; it comes in handy when you’re helping run a newspaper. I started drawing cartoons a few weeks into this year, and people seemed to like them, so we decided to put them in the paper. Sorry if most of them weren’t funny—the really good ones were definitely not going to get through administration—in fact, several of the ones that I did put in the paper almost didn’t make it through! I really didn’t think “Tonya” would cause a minicontroversy, but apparently it did. Then the lunch ladies got mad at my ranch dressing comic. If you were wondering about the “THIS COMIC HAS BEEN CENSORED BY JS HIGH SCHOOL” one, well…there ya go. I value freedom of speech a lot. That’s what journalism is all about—for me, at least. Megan and I had a lot of fun picking apart everything we did wrong after an issue came out, even if we annoyed people with it. Whatever, I don’t think we really cared. We did a lot of stuff wrong this year, so I hope the younger kids in the class took notes so they can make it better next year. I really want to see some good stuff come out of the paper after we leave, and hopefully see some people jump up and take initiative like a lot of people did this year. Steph, Megan, and I are the core. THE CORE! I’ve taken to yelling that, and I’m not sure if anyone else gets it, but whatever. In short—I love writing for a newspaper, and I can’t wait to do it for a real one. Ze End of Ze World By Lily O’Shaughnessy At the beginning of your freshman year you constantly say to yourself, “I can’t wait to be a senior.” Well now, that time has finally come for us, as seniors, this is the year we walk, and receive our diplomas. I mean, we’ve been waiting for this forever. My time has finally come, and to be honest.. I’m not ready to leave. There’s so many things that I’m going to miss. From seeing everyone in the halls, to my underclass friends, my favorite teachers, yearbook, and journalism are the things that I’m going to miss most. Being a part of the yearbook, and the Paw Print has opened my eyes to new things. I’m proud of the things I have done in both of those classes, from helping publish a few yearbooks and working on DVD Yearbook last year, to the many stories I was able to write in journalism. I’m hoping both of those accomplishments can help me in the future as a career and in college. I know there isn’t much here, but to the underclassmen, keep your heads up. You’ll eventually be here in my shoes. Keep your best friends close. And whatever you do, never sweat the small stuff, you’ll make it. OPINIONS Page 14 Megan’s Retiring By Megan Frank "I'm leaving on a jet plane; I don't know when I'll be back again..." No, not really, but it is time for me to move on. I'm graduating and even though I've only been on the newspaper staff for a year, it feels sort of strange to have to move over and let someone else take the position of news editor. I've already stated it before, but it's only been a year, and a short year at that. On the third day of school, we sat around and discussed who would be what as far as editors. Mrs. Riggle announced the editors of the entire paper and then moved on to ask "Who would like to be news editor?" No one raised their hand, so she skipped it and went on. After assigning each other position, still no one wanted to be news editor, so I raised my hand. Congratulations, Megan, you're news editor! I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought I would write stories, manage a section of layout, and get to boss people around, but it became so much more than that. It's odd to think about, but I wonder if I never raised my hand that day would I have ever felt so intense about creating a newspaper. By working on the newspaper at school, I realized that this is what I want to do with my life. I'm going to college at Lycoming and majoring in Communications and English, with that I plan to work for a magazine, both writing and working with layout. E I don't really know if it sounds cheesy, but being on the newspaper taught me a lot. I'd look back on everything as a learning experience. Not only did I learn to be a better writer and how to make a decent layout, but I tested my patience, became closer to new people over something we took way too seriously, and so many other things. I learned so many new things and I was way too into it. My friends who weren't on the newspaper most likely got tired of me talking about it. An example of this would be when Shana and I would pick apart an issue that was already out and everyone would hear us and be like, "It's already out and you guys can't change it now." We flipped out over the smallest things. I feel so dumb sometimes when I look back on it, but I think to myself, if no one else was taking it seriously, at least I was. I hope that whoever takes my place next year takes it just as seriously as I did. I don't mean you can't have fun, because I had a lot of fun. Maybe they'll learn as much as I did. I don't know what's going to happen for the Paw Print or for my future as a journalist. Hopefully there are good things in store for both. So I leave you with that. I'll end it by thanking Mrs. Riggle and all of my friends, both those on the Paw Print staff and those not, for putting up with my complaining about the newspaper, because really I was all talk and deep down I loved every minute of it, and I'd like to thank those you in second period journalism who never cared for me, you guys never really made it that difficult. Advice to the Younger Crowd By Skyler Wool To all of those who have time yet here at Jersey Shore High school, I can only say that do not waste your time here. The things you will learn and the effort you put forth will determine how easy the rest of your life will be. Do not squander your opportunities because looking back and wishing you could have done some things differently is the worst thing. You only get one shot at life and despite the issues one may have with any number of things here at Jersey Shore, life is not so much being dealt a good hand as it is playing the hand you are dealt to the best of your ability. Do not shun school activities whether it be sports or other activities. These things are your opportunity to gain the respect and recognition we all desire. I myself have found some measure of these things in my football career here at JS and also in my weight room achievements. This brings me to one other issue I would like to address to all of you who would care to listen to a tired old senior like me. The weight room facility we now have here at Jersey Shore is a blessing, we have been fortunate beyond measure to have been gifted with such a facility and the gains and self improvement you can create in yourself there are unlimited. Respect our gift and use it for all it’s worth. Farewell to you all and I hope you all enjoy your time here as much as I did and carry with you the numerous life lessons learned here at Jersey Shore.

It may seem sad that we need to part ways, but true friends will never be that far from you. I guess I am supposed to give all you underclassmen advice on your future, but I really don’t know what to tell you. The best advice I can give you is try to do your best. I am not just saying for your academics or sports, but be the best friend, the best student, and the best person that you can be. It is easy to blow people off because they are “less cool” then you, but at the end of the day, you’re just being superficial. True friendship doesn’t know how much money a person makes, or how their hair looks. It is something bigger, and more important than that. I know everything I just said sounds far too clichéd, but as you look back on your years in high school, do you want to remember yourself being the kid who dressed in a nice pair of Puma shoes? Or do you want to look back at all the people you’ve met, and think of all the great times you spent with them. So, don’t hang out with people just because they dress nice, or because they have a cool house. I don’t want to preach, but when you look back, just make sure you think that you made the right choices. Time goes by fast, and memories are all that remain. Just make sure to keep your true friends close to you in hard times and in great times. And don’t be afraid to talk to people, even if they are strangers. If the person shoots a look like “why are you talking to me”, don’t get mad, be grateful. Grateful because they just saved you so much time from having to figure out that they are complete jerks. This world is full of posers and clowns so don’t be a person who puts other people off just so you can maintain an image. Would you be content knowing that you may have looked cool to your niche group because you blew someone off? Just think about this, if the only thing you have in common with your “friends” is that you all shop at Aero- postale or Hot Topic, then do you really believe that you will remain friends when you are out in the real world? Probably not. That’s why it is so important to give people a chance, and don’t judge someone because they dress like a prep, or they look like an “emo”. You have always been told not to judge a book by its cover, so just make sure to follow that old adage, because styles and circumstances change, just make sure your friends don’t. A friend isn’t someone who will change with the passage of new styles or trends. Make sure you are original, and don’t try to impress people who don’t really matter. Don’t try to conform to a group. Sure it is great to have a posse of friends, but don’t limit yourself to hanging out with a certain group of people. Try everything; don’t be afraid to try something that you aren’t experienced at. At the end of the day, when you are looking back, you will be happy that you gave everything a shot. Give everything a chance, and don’t be afraid if it isn’t your thing or if you suck at it. What does it matter? I just preached entirely more than I planned before I wrote this. So, I will leave you with a couple tips to get through high school. Make sure you challenge yourself; don’t just coast. I know that I wasted a lot of time in classes that I thought I would not use, just because I felt like slacking in the class. Also, don’t act like you have it all figured out. Chances are there is someone with a different perspective then you have. Make sure to listen to what they have to say. Even if you disagree, just listen to their thoughts on everything. Also, spend as much time with your friends and family as you possibly can. You never know what the future will hold, but I can tell you that it would be terrible to know that you could have spent more time with someone. Lastly, just love life. Sure everyone can have a bad day, or even a bad year, but you can’t let it keep you down. Just soldier on and keep everyone important close and things will be okay. If not then at least you will go out with a smile on your face. So my final words as a senior and a Paw Print writer will be a quote. “Don’t cry because it’s over; Smile because it happened.” OPINIONS Page 16 Finding Out Who I Am By Kirsten Morse High school, such an important part of your life, it helps decide your future and makes you regret part of your past. This school year has helped me figure out exactly who I am. I wear what I want not caring what people think and I work as hard as I can to reach my goals in life. I decided to attend LHU for special education and to even live on campus. Am I going to like it? Maybe, maybe not, but that will be later decided. To be honest I really never even thought of taking journalism, but Evan convinced me so here I am … writing my stories, getting criticized about my opinions and getting yelled at by big mouthed people. But let’s rewind back to how I really got where I am. So there I was filling out my course selection sheet for my big senior year. Not knowing what classes I wanted to take, Evan persuades me that having journalism together would be fun. HA what was he thinking? Just kidding. It actually wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, besides the moments that I got embarrassed to say something not wanting to get made fun of by Evan, but what else was new that’s just me. I’ve always loved to write but hated having people read it, worried about being criticized. So why did I take journalism if that’s how I was? I was ready to open up and break out of my shell just to prove to people that I could do it. The year actually went extremely well and I loved every minute of it. I have been waiting 12 years to be a senior, and now that it’s here I’m not so sure that I’m ready for this chapter of my life to be over. I’m not ready to tell my friends good-bye or to leave my mom who has cared and taken care of me my whole life. It hasn’t really hit me, until I started writing this column that I will be graduating in less than a month and most of my classmates I may never see again. So, on that note I would like to tell my senior class: “Good luck in everything that you do and it’s been fun while it has lasted.” To my underclassman friends: “Keep working hard and don’t give up or get frustrated, don’t take your high school days for granted because before you know it you will be out of here and be regretting things you did do and should’ve done.” This would be where all the cool kids would put a sweet quote or write a touching last sentence that you will remember until the day that you die, but I guess that I’m not that cool. I’m just going to leave it at “peace out.” Being a Senior Isn’t All Fun and Games By Katie Sprague cracked up to be.

Being a senior really does have its perks. You find out that Mrs. Thomas, and Mr. Jean are actually pretty alright, Mrs. Drammissi may let it slide if you are missing the debit, Mrs. Pond understands that your alarm clock just wasn’t enough to get you out of bed in the morning and most teachers know that you truly were sick and need those extra days to make up the work. This year was everything I hoped it would be. I remember my freshman year being friends with a majority of the seniors and not being able to wait until it was my turn to finally graduate. I am sure that it was just like all the underclassman now; it’s a bittersweet feeling knowing that soon you will be a senior. I don’t mean bitter because you are going to graduate I mean bitter because although you are a senior you still have nine months of too much work and not enough play sort of thing. My advice to anyone who is hat- ing high school more than anything is become close with your teachers; I promise it will help you get through the day. Plus when you start skipping school towards the end of the year your grade will not suffer nearly as much as bubba who has slept the whole year. Another thing that could help you out, avoid the drama, seriously, avoid it. I hate to say this but stick to your school work make it through the seven hours (that sometimes does indeed seem wasted) and then do whatever you want. I promise, come senior year, you won’t care what you are wearing or what the person sitting beside you is, and it’s actually okay. I mean don’t let yourself go or anything brown and black will never match, but it’s okay for your hair to be in a bun and for the guys to get out the sweat pants. On the sweet side of being a senior after those nine months, you are done! Make the best of your high school days, I do not believe they are the best days of your life, but it is true that you have to be here, and although it sucks, it is worth it in the end. “You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but school does..." –Tom Petty Seniors: You’ve gotta see these movies! Megan’s Pick- “The Breakfast Club” – The Breakfast Club is a movie essential to all graduating seniors because it is all about cliques coming together and enjoying day long detention. This movie just goes to show that a jock, a metalhead, a weirdo, a princess, and a nerd can all get along. Everyone should watch this movie because it just goes to show that you can end up being friends with anyone, no matter who they are, and no matter where you are. Lily’s Pick- “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” – I feel this movie is essential to any graduat- ing senior, because it’s about skipping school. I mean, who doesn’t want to skip school? The best thing about this movie is that the kid’s smart, really smart. Recordings, and dummies stop his parents and sister from actually advancing into his room to see that he’s really not there. He knows how to deceive his mom, his sister, and the school principal, who for some reason has it out for Bueller (Matthew Broderick). He talks his friends into joining him on his adventure and even convinces his friend to “borrow” his dads Ferrari. While Ferris’ is out joy riding, his sister is plotting against him. Except for the smashed Ferrari, they never get caught. Isn’t that what we all dream about? Shana’s Pick- “Rocky Horror Picture Show” – Rocky Horror is a movie that you must witness at least once in your life. I don’t care if you don’t like musicals or not, you still need to see it. Not only is the movie a riot, many people get so obsessed with the movie that they attend events where the movie is acted out live, and the audience gets to participate. Rocky Horror isn’t just a Continued on page 18 Page 18 movie—it’s an entire experience. You’re probably going to find that you don’t relate to the movie at all—you’re not a “sweet transvestite”, and you’re probably not an alien or a robot wearing gold spanky pants. It doesn’t matter, ‘cuz you’ll be doing the Time Warp allllllll night long anyway. Jimmy’s Pick-“Fight Club” The first rule of Fight Club is “you do not talk about Fight Club.” This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie, because it sums up the entire style of the film. I think everyone needs to see this movie, because it is so much more than just two guys fighting. The movie shows how society is being far too consumerist and impersonal, and a once white-collar worker gets fed up with the “condo life”. The protagonist’s name never is revealed, but the credits refer to him as Jack. Jack (Edward Norton) lived a life where he revolved around his work in the city and had nothing else to do. Day in and day out he goes to work for really no reason, and he becomes just another brick in the wall. This is until he meets a man named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). I don’t want to tell you too much else, because I do not want to ruin the stellar plot. This brief description does not do it justice, since the film is great all around. The cinematography of the film is second to none, since great themes make their appearance with just the simple shot of a refrigerator can be symbolic because it reflects the narrator’s life being “a fridge full of condiments.” And for all you Matrix fans out there, Fight Club is filmed with the same type of “green washed out” style that the Matrix used. I really don’t know what else to say in regards to Fight Club, just take my advice and watch Jack’s transgression into a creature that is not dominated by the corporations or the “man”, instead he is in control for once in his life, and he does that by basically destroying his life. Tyler Durden said it best, “Only after we lose everything, are we free to do anything.” Make sure to see this movie. Morgan’s Pick- “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” I believe that everyone needs to see this movie twice. (Johnny Depp) The main character journalist Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Del Toro) go to Las OPINIONS Vegas to cover a motorcycle race in 1971. Raoul is completely messed up on drugs with Dr.Gonzo who is even more messed up on drugs. While they are there they are set out to find the American Dream with the assistants of illegal drugs. They commit acts of fraud, and drive the citizens of Las Vegas absolutely crazy. The movie is a version of Hunter S. Thompson’s novel, the crazy search for the American Dream. It’s filled with police, reporters, gamblers, racers, hitchhikers, hookers and a convertible. It really is a funny movie to watch, if you can follow along. teachers. Throughout the course of the movie, Juno is faced with hard decisions, like whether or not to have an abortion, and discovers that not even the adults have a secure plan for life. Realizing that she is not prepared to take care of a child, she looks for an adult couple who will be good parents. Right next to the parrot in the Pennysaver, she finds Vanessa and Mark Loring. Juno is a must see for students who love a good laugh but in all seriousness, is a movie that shows what it takes for one girl to do what she thinks is the right thing. Kirsten’s Pick- “Titanic” This movie is a must see with a box of tissues at your side. It has to be one of the best true story movies I have ever watched and I can never get enough of it. Leonardo DiCaprio definitely hit it home with this movie. You laugh, you cry, you may even start singing the Celion Deon song “The Heart Will Go On.” Rose (Kate Winslet) is an upper class girl going to Philadelphia with her fiancé and family, whereas Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a poor young man that wins the tickets to go on the ship in a card game minutes before it leaves the harbor. Meeting each other was fate and falling in love was unexpected, but it happened. The “unsinkable ship” hits an unspotted iceberg two days after departure and within hours, the boat is laying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The movie is told by Rose at an older age, recalling the tragic day. The movie is a tear jerker and makes you want to live everyday to its fullest. Katie’s Pick- “Forrest Gump” – Every single graduating senior must see Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks does a phenomenal job portraying a naïve and placid man with an IQ of 75 who doesn’t always understand what is going on around him. This movie touches all aspects of the senses – it is sentimental, funny, romantic, and cultural. Not to mention the fact that it has some of the best quotes of all time, including “Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get” and “run, Forrest, run!” This was one of my all time favorite films and I can practically quote every line. It made me laugh, cry, get mad, and feel good. So if you haven’t already, follow Forrest on his epic journey through life as he meets famous figures, influences pop-culture (phrases like “s*it happens” and symbols like the smiley face), and experiences firsthand historic events of which he doesn’t even realize the significance. Forrest Gump is an amazing movie and it was filmed in the best city in the world… Savannah, Georgia. Steph’s Pick – “Juno” “This is one doodle that can't be un-did, home skillet.” Every teenager should watch the film Juno at least once before high school graduation. Not only is it hilarious, it addresses several issues which are relevant to every student. After Juno finds out her “egg-o is prego” she is thrown into a situation that she is not ready for. She’s having a baby and doesn’t know what she should do. Putting aside all the jokes and innuendos, Juno is actually a story about a sixteen year old who gets pregnant and tries to do the right thing with helpful support from her father, stepmother Bren, and her best friend, who crushes on Skyler’s Pick- “The Edge” and amazing film. This movie is about a rich business man (Anthony Hopkins) who goes to Alaska with his younger wife for a photo shoot. While on a sightseeing plane ride the plane crashes leaving Anthony and one companion ( His wife’s photographer ) randed. The pair must strive to survive in the harsh Alaskan wilderness while simultaneously being stalked by a man eating Grizzly bear. Heather Cohick What was your most memorable senior high moment?
