Paige Remillard, senior, said, “Hanging out at my grandma’s house, handing out candy and having fun with my family.”

Senior Lauralie Grater mentioned, “I don’t know what I’m doing yet. I’m possibly taking my siblings out trick-or-treating, or possibly hanging out with my friends.”

Freshman Katelyn Dittberner said, “Passing out candy and trick-or-treating.”

Keerstin Mason, senior, commented, “[My plans are] to scare people.” 

Ariana Ribera, junior, mentioned, “Taking my little cousin out to get candy again because she had fun going with us last year.” 

Another question that was asked was, what costume do you plan on wearing? Here is how some students responded:

Ariana Ribera commented, “A purge mask with a cute white dress, and I’m [going to] put fake blood on it.”

Paige Remillard said, “I am not going trick-or-treating, but I am [going to] be painting half my face a skull.”

Katelyn Dittberner responded with, “Woody from Toy Story.”

Sophomore, Grace White said, “I don't plan on going trick-or-treating but I plan on dressing up as someone from Toy Story.”

Haleigh Nicholas, junior, responded, “I plan on dressing up as Michael Myers.”

The third question that was asked was if you are going trick-or-treating, who do you plan on going with?

Freshman Christian Price said, “Aaron Remillard and Dominick Cox.”

Haleigh Nicholas commented, “A group of my friends.”

Katelyn Dittberner mentioned, “Aaliyah Bates.”

Ariana Ribera responded with, “My sister Diana, my little brother Lenny, my little cousin Jasmine, and maybe my cousin Jarlin.”

The last question asked was what is one of your favorite Halloween memories?

Christian Price commented, “Getting all of my family together and walking around. And being able to get a lot of free candy.”

Grace White said, “I dressed as a baby one year. The costume kept on falling apart, so my friend kept on going and had to fix it whenever I [moved].”

Lauralie Grater explained, “When my family comes together to help decorate our house.”

Ariana Ribera responded with, “Taking my little cousin out for the first time and seeing her all happy because she got candy.”

This is how the students and New Haven High School feel about the spooky season upon them once again. We all wish that everyone has a Happy Halloween.

New Haven El Ranchito staff carves pumpkins for Halloween

10/30/2019

 
By: Bernabe Ribera

Everyone is familiar with El Ranchito, located near the Ice Cream Shoppe in New Haven. Well, this Halloween, El Ranchito will be having its very own pumpkin-carving contest beginning and ending on Thursday, the 31st. The cooks, waiters, and waitresses will all be competing against each other to carve a pumpkin which will be judged by the people of New Haven. They were all asked how they feel about being in the contest and what they plan on doing.

Jacob Alvarez, sophomore, stated, “I plan on trying my best to win the contest, and hopefully my pumpkin will turn out the way I like it.”

Kresha Reichel, waitress, commented, “I think it’s a great idea to have this to get all us workers together to do something fun other than just work.”

Rylan Ball, junior, said, “I’m really pumped and hyped to be in the contest. I think that I have two very good competitors, so I am going to have to step my game up.”

Graham Hill, cook, responded by saying, “I don’t know for sure what I am going to make just yet but I hope I can come up with something cool.”

When asked what they plan on doing for the pumpkin-carving contest and if they think they could win, Jacob Alvarez responded with, “I’m going to try my hardest but I don’t think I’ll win.  But if I do then that would be cool.”

“I’m not sure if I would win as we have a lot of talented workers! I am excited to see everyone’s artistic natures though!” replied Kresha Reichel.

Rylan Ball stated, “I think that I can push myself to the top and come up with something that people will like.”

“I’m not sure if I’ll win but at least I tried,” responded Graham Hill.

It looks like New Haven is in for a surprise this Halloween. Good luck to all the El Ranchito staff members, and may the best pumpkin win!

A Google form was sent out to marching band participants in the Southern Boone Parade, asking for their opinions on the parade. 
    
When asked how they thought the band did overall, Ellie Westermeyer, junior, said, “I thought we sounded very [good] and did a nice job on the routine for auxiliary.” 
    
Matthew Otten, junior, commented, “I thought we had some things to improve on but we did [well] overall.”

Casey Baker, junior Drum Major, stated, “We did better than I had expected.”

When asked how they thought the band could improve overall, Keagan Huff, senior, commented, “I think we could most improve on the Texas Turn.”

John Hughes, senior, answered, “I think we need to guide and cover down more to keep our spacing consistent.” 

Ellie Westermeyer said, “We need to stay in step more often.”
    
When asked how their specific section could improve, Matthew Otten stated, “I think the low brass could play a little louder.”

Aside from the low brass, all of the other participants in the survey were pleased with how their sections performed.

Good job to the Marching Shamrocks this week, and good luck to them at MSU on Saturday, October 26th.

NHHS students compete in Walgreens art contest

10/28/2019

 
By: Brandon Young

Four students-- senior Bernabe Ribera, senior Paige Remilard, junior Jasmine Canania, and Dori McCarty-- will be competing in an art drawing contest for their art class which began back in August, and will end on December 15th. There are also other schools participating in the same contest, which means the stakes are a lot higher than your average contest. The winner of the art contest will receive a $2000 cash prize. This art contest is being sponsored by Walgreens, which means it’s a really big contest with hundreds of schools participating.

There are a few basic rules for the contest-- for instance, there are no guns allowed in the drawings, no Walgreens logos, and so on. The rules are really basic, which gives the artists plenty of freedom to express themselves.


The contest is in brackets. The first round’s voting is open to the public. The second round is preliminary judging, and the third round is expert panel judging. 


Bernabe Ribera is one of the four contestants participating in our school. He is doing the contest because he is interested in the cash prize. Bernabe is in his last year of school, so he would like to save up as much money as possible to give him a head start when he gets out into the real world. 


Dori McCarty is one of the other contestants for our school. She is doing the drawing because she wants to express herself through her art, as well as her interest in the cash prize.


She adds, “I could use the money, as well as expressing my passion for art.”


Dori’s piece is not actually a drawing; she is creating a virtual representation on her computer.  
Dori said, “I thought I would do something different than everyone else.”

Bernabe said, “My parents
are always pushing me to save money, so that is what I am going to do.” 


Bernabe’s drawing is about his past life experiences and the obstacles he has had to go through in his life. 
Bernabe says, “My drawing is about society and has a deeper meaning to it.” 

Jasmine Canania and Paige Remilard have also recently joined the competition and will be competing with Bernabe and Dori.


This contest is allowing students to express themselves in whatever way they want to. It is also giving them the opportunity to win $2000.  Let’s wish the contestants good luck.

New Haven volleyball takes on Sullivan

10/27/2019

 
By: Natalie Pecaut 

Another conference game is checked off the schedule. Unfortunately, it wasn't how the Shamrocks had planned it to go. The New Haven Shamrocks took on the Sullivan 
Eagles October 17 on their home floor.

The Shamrocks’ defense started off slow with missed passes and serving errors. The girls came around mid-set, making Sullivan adjust to their hits off the net and their back row attacks. Lauren Hoerstkamp, New Haven’s senior libero, had four kills from the back row. McKenzie Pecaut, the Shamrocks’ senior setter, led the night in assist and attacks. 

McKenzie Pecaut was asked about what her thoughts were on the first set of the night, and she commented, “I thought the beginning of that first set was slow and we played like we were just a few steps behind, and that wasn’t good. When the Eagles got to their 13th point, I feel that is when we started playing with our heads in the game.”

Ellie Westermeyer also mentioned, “We weren’t playing with a lot of energy and I think that is what started us off on the wrong foot. Volleyball isn’t just a physical game, but a mental one as well.”

New Haven lost the first set 25-13.

In the second set, the Shamrocks came out stronger and faster. Sullivan’s senior, an outside hitter, was pounding balls at our passers in the back row, and New Haven’s defense was able to pick most of them up. The Shamrocks putting up a big block in the middle stopped a lot of the balls getting through. The score was tied 7-7 when New Haven started lagging behind Sullivan again. Sullivan went on a run with serving, having the balls come in hard and fast, giving the Shamrocks difficult balls to pass. Most balls were tight to the net or passed off to the side. New Haven ended up losing the second set 25-12.

McKenzie Overschmidt commented, “I think our passing is definitely improving each game. We often don’t face schools that have many power hitters, and tonight, there were many. Getting to compete with bigger schools and bigger players will help us in the long run, and hopefully has us prepared for districts in the coming week.”

New Haven will begin their district tournament at Montgomery on Monday, October 28th. 

Good luck, Shamrocks!

New Haven Shamrocks compete at Owensville

10/26/2019

 
By: Caroline Otten

On October 14, 2019, the New Haven Shamrocks Cross Country team ran at Owensville High school. The high school races started with JV boys, followed by Varsity girls, and ending with Varsity boys. There were thirteen teams including New Haven at the meet. Both Varsity teams for New Haven got 6th overall. After the meet the athletes were asked a few questions.

The first question asked was how the athletes felt they ran.

Senior Keagan Huff simply said, “Okay.”

Senior Austin Tegeler said, “I felt I ran pretty [well]. I medaled in 9th place, which is pretty good.”

Junior Emma McIntyre replied, “I felt I ran pretty well. It rained during our race, making the course slick, but overall it was pretty good.”

The next question asked was if there is anything the athletes feel they need to work on.

Austin Tegeler replied, “I think I could probably work on some more hill training and work on the endurance on the hills.”
 
Junior Caroline Otten said, “I need to work on starting faster in the beginning of our races and pushing myself a little more.”

Junior Hannah Borcherding answered, “I need to work on pushing myself when going up hills and striding out more on downhills.”

The last question asked was if there were any goals the athletes have accomplished so far. 

Emma McIntyre said, “My goal this season was to beat my Personal Best time and even though I haven’t beat it yet, I still have the rest of the season to do it.”

Hannah Borcherding replied, “One of my goals was to work on my endurance and push myself more in races, and I feel I’ve been doing that so far this season.”

Austin Tegeler explained, “A goal was to medal in every meet and I’ve medaled in every one except one, so I’d say I’ve accomplished a goal.”

Great job, Shamrocks, and good luck with the rest of your season!

Senior volleyball player, McKenzie Overschmidt responded with, “We played okay. We could [have] won that game! We should [have] been ready and focused.”

Freshman Aaliyah Bates said, “I think they played [well] and hard and that the games had some good rallies.”

Freshman Eli Barber had a response about the T-shirts: “The shirts had a cool and meaningful design, and they were comfortable.”

The independent art students get the ball rolling with the Hexagon Project

10/23/2019

 
By: Keerstin Mason

For the past few weeks, the independent art students at New Haven High have each been working on a piece for the Hexagon Project.  This project involves each artist designing and completing a hexagon-shaped piece around the theme of improving our world. East Central College (ECC) hosts all of the hexagons made from students within six K-12 school districts and four K-8 school districts.  New Haven’s deadline for submission is December.

When asked about her project’s main concept, Paige Remillard, a senior, said, “I am doing a piece on how the human race is so selfish that we are killing off bees.”

The students of NHHS’s independent art class were asked what main theme they are using. Lauralie Grater, a senior, said, “I'm planning on using an object that projects the idea of what people think is happening but truly isn't. You look through that object seeing what you want to see. But on the outside of that object, it shows what is truly happening.”

When asked what type of medium they were going to use for their hexagon, Lauralie Grater said, “I don't know yet, but I was thinking pencil or colored pencil.”

Mrs. Katie Borcherding, the high school art teacher, was asked about the purpose of the Hexagon Project. She had this to say: “[This project] invites young people, adults, and communities worldwide to realize social and global challenges facing the world today and use art as a vehicle to reimagine how these challenges can be addressed through critical thinking, research, and creative expression. We invite participants to reconsider their civic responsibilities in a world that is increasingly interconnected and interdependent at local, regional, national, and global levels.”

Mrs. Borcherding was also asked what the purpose was of New Haven’s independent art students placing their own hexagon into the show. She made the comment: “[The purpose is] to get our students to think about how they impact their world and how they can make it a better place.”

The girls were also asked how they hit that night and Madison Langenberg said, “I hit well and got a triple during the game.”

MDC naturalists lead 14.5-mile challenge hike on Green Rock Trail Oct. 26

10/21/2019

 
Picture
If you’re up for the adventure, the chance to hike this linear trail will include return transportation.
WILDWOOD, Mo.--Many Captain Ahab hikers might consider this the “Moby-Dick” of all trails in St. Louis County: a 14.5-mile, challenging linear trail that traverses Rockwoods Reservation Conservation Area, Greenfelder County Park, and Rockwoods Range Conservation Area. The Green Rock Trail, with its steep hills and rocky terrain, can put a hiker’s endurance to the test.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering adventurous hikers the opportunity to conquer this whale of a trail Saturday, Oct. 26. MDC naturalists will lead a hike on the Green Rock Trail starting at 8 a.m. from the Rockwoods Reservation Trailhead. Hikers will travel south on this linear trail to end at the Rockwoods Range trailhead. The total hike will be approximately 14.5 miles. The trip will include return transportation back to the starting point.
Those ready to embrace the challenge can hike this entire trail with MDC naturalists from Rockwoods Reservation. Fall color should be near peak brilliance all along the Green Rock. MDC staff will pick up participants at Rockwoods Range after finishing the trail and take them back to Rockwoods Reservation.
Participants should come prepared to hike the entire day with backpacks, snacks, a light lunch, water, and other hiking essentials. The Green Rock Trail is a moderate to difficult and mostly forested, portions of which contain steep climbs and rocky surfaces. All participants should wear appropriate clothing and gear for the weather and terrain. This program is open for adults, ages 18 and over.

New Haven varsity volleyball plays in the Hermann Invitational tournament

10/19/2019

 
By: Keerstin Mason

On Monday, September 30, the New Haven varsity volleyball team played in the Hermann tournament. They lost their first game, with a final score of 7-25 and 6-25 against Borgia. Their second match lost against Owensville with 22-25 and 19-25. Finally, their last game was on Monday night with the loss of 18-25 and 15-25 against Pacific.

When asked what they thought the hardest part of this tournament was, McKenzie Pecaut, senior, said, “The hardest part was that we had some good competition and we [kind of] struggled to get a good handle over the games.”

When asked what she found challenging about playing against Borgia, Owensville, and Pacific, Mrs. Jaime Hoener, head coach, had this to say: “They were good teams, but our unforced errors caused were hard to take.  We have to make teams beat us instead of us beating ourselves.”

Mrs. Julie Westermeyer, one of two assistant coaches, stated: “The bigger schools definitely had several aggressive attackers that can put the ball away. They were ready to play.”

Knowing that everyone makes mistakes, the players were asked what they could have done differently. Natalie Pecaut, a senior, said, “I feel we could have     [run] a fast offense and done better on our defense. I think we also need to keep our energy up. Because even though volleyball is a very physical game, it is also a mental one as well. You can just bring your opponents down with your energy on the floor.”

Not only do the players have some comments on what they could have done better, but Mrs. Hoener commented that “we just need more consistency in all aspects of our game.”
