Celesse Louise Smedley was born in Washington, Missouri. For a short bit of her life, she lived in Owensville and then moved to Illinois, MO with her father. In Illinois, she attended a private elementary school called Montessori until the end of second grade. She moved to New Haven at the beginning of third grade and has lived here ever since. At New Haven High School, she is involved with FBLA and FCCLA. She is also a student ambassador at the Four Rivers Career Center. After school, she is involved with Girls on the Run, because she has a passion for helping girls become who they are meant to be. Celesse says, "Being able to participate in all the different types of organizations is extraordinary and is a blessing. I find joy in all the things I do that revolve around school. Girls on the Run was a big impact for me when I was younger and all I ever wanted to do was impact somebody the way one of my coaches did."  By Rachel Connell
Halloween is just around the corner. It’s that time of the year where Halloween costumes become more elaborate and the best pieces of candy are received. The term “trick-or-treat” simply portrays modern Halloween, which consists of fewer ghosts and ghouls compared with previous years. Whether it’s making an intricate DIY costume or making the best pumpkin carving, most people enjoy celebrating Halloween in one way or another. While going out and trick-or-treating is a normal tradition celebrated by younger children and toddlers, some high school members still enjoy going out for trick-or-treating with intricate and unique costume designs. Spending a good amount of time on costume ideas is something Kimmy McDowell enjoys doing. “I love Halloween. Costume designing is the best part, actually,” Kimmy states. “I make an unnecessary effort to look either as cool or insane as possible. That and I make my own versions of characters that already exist or ones of my own creation, like the Ace of Spades I designed last year.” By Clare Roth
“STP!” the volleyball Shamrocks yell as they break from a pre-game huddle. They run to their respective spots on the court to beat Owensville in two sets. The girls repeat these three letters before their game versus Borgia, and then before Hermann, then Union. The Shamrocks have yelled “STP” in unison before every game so far this season. What does “STP” mean? And why are the girls repeating it over and over again? Through the course of the season, the volleyball team has become more or less defined by these three letters. The acronym is not a secret. If asked, any volleyball player will tell you that “STP” stands for “something to prove.”
The Cross Country Shamrocks will be competing in the district meet this Saturday, October 31, at the Bowling Green Golf Course. The varsity boys will run at 11:45 am and the varsity girls will run at 10:35 am. The results of this meet will determine whether the Cross Country Shamrocks advance to the state meet in Jefferson City the following weekend.
GOOD LUCK RUNNERS!  If you can't make it to the Volleyball State Championships in Cape Girardeau on Saturday, you can still catch all of the action LIVE on the NFHS Network starting on Saturday at 3:00 PM CDT! Games will also be available for viewing on demand.

To: Parents/ Guardians From: Kyle Kruse, Superintendent of Schools Re: School Cancelled Friday, Oct. 30 for State Volleyball Tournament Congratulations to the New Haven Shamrocks volleyball team on their victories in district, sectional, and quarterfinal play. The Shamrocks have reached the volleyball final four and will now compete in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31. We’ve received many questions about whether or not school will be in session on Friday. Shamrock sports teams have always enjoyed tremendous fan support at state tournaments. It has become New Haven tradition to dismiss class when a team is competing in the state tournament during school hours. Therefore, school is cancelled for Friday, October 30. The volleyball Shamrocks won both Sectional games against Stover and Osceola on Saturday, October 24.
The Shamrocks beat the Stover High Bulldogs in two sets (25-16, 25-16) and the Osceola High Indians in two sets (25-19, 25-13). The girls will play this Friday and Saturday in Cape Girardeau. Games will be at 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 2:00 pm on Friday. Game times for Saturday will be announced. GOOD LUCK SHAMROCKS!  By Taylor Gillespie
On October 1st, the Chamber of Commerce had their annual meeting at noon. Steve Roth brought in a speaker from Basy’s Processing Company, Kerry Robinson. Ms. Robinson gave a presentation over new chips on credit cards to explain what they are and what they can do for you. The chip is a feature on modern credit cards that is a new way of “swiping” your card. The chip is inserted into a slot in the credit card machine at the end of grocery store terminals. There are three ways that the card can be used at a grocery store, or any other location that you may be swiping your card at. EMV stands for EuroPay, Mastercard and Visa since they were the first card companies with a chip. The three options are called EMV’s and they are contact, contactless, and mobile. HONOR ROLL

Many of today’s adults went to high school in the 80s or 90s. If you ask any of them, they’ll probably say that their decade was the best time to be an teenager. The 80s was a gnarly time to remember. With trends like mullets, shoulder pads, and loafers, what’s not to love? Teens in the 80s watched music videos on MTV, used payphones, and carried boom boxes. Popular bands were Queen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, and more. 80s teenager, Niccole Vollertsen says “80s music had the best sound. It had a good beat and the lead singer actually sang.” The major technological advances of the time include the Macintosh computer and the VCR. Despite the fact that the common American family owned neither of these, they were still the talk of the time. Most people were still using typewriters then.  By Lauren Bergner

In the first set, New Haven came out strong. Back and forth the set shifted leads between the Shamrocks and the Comets. In the end, the Fatima Comets came out on top, 25-21.  By Ereka Bailey
On Saturday, October 10th, 2015, the New Haven Marching Shamrocks traveled to Columbia, Missouri to march in the Mizzou Homecoming Parade. Early Saturday morning, the Marching Shamrocks arrived at school at 5:45 am to hop on the bus to start the journey to Columbia. When the Shamrocks arrived at the parade, it was around 7:00 am.

“There is a perception that bigger means better, and we thought it was important to come and highlight what is going on here,” says First Lady of Missouri Georganne Nixon, addressing the students and faculty of New Haven High. “I don’t think this kind of success is a fluke.” Mrs. Nixon visited New Haven High School on Thursday, October 8, to recognize the school district for winning the acclaimed National Blue Ribbon Award. She visited two classrooms and held a student panel, where she questioned a select group of high achieving students about the success of NHHS.  By Lauren Bergner
