The Class 1 Varsity Boys’ race began at 11:50 A.M. Joseph Rethemeyer, sophomore, finished 1st for the team with a time of 17:27. Finishing overall 10th, Rethemeyer was awarded All State honors.

Grace Allgaier, freshmen, noted, “It was really exciting because this has been our biggest goal all season -- to place in the final four at State. It was the 1st plaque in 20 years and I felt like everyone did a really good job.” Emily Lewis, senior, stated, “It’s such a good feeling after running cross country for 6 years to finally make it up on that podium at State. It was so special to stand there with my team who has spent all season striving for this goal. It was even more special to hold the trophy with Lucy Roth, who’s been my running partner for almost 8 years.” The girls’ team scored a total of 134 points, winning the 3rd place title. The New Haven girls’ team hasn’t earned this high of a ranking in State since 1996 when they came in 3rd. In 2014 and 2015, when the girls’ team qualified for state, they placed 6th and 8th overall. Congratulations, XC Shamrocks, on a great season! We’re so proud!
Leadership week is a special week at NHHS in which students that may have never worked together become a little bit closer through competition in a variety of events. This year there were seventeen teams battling it out for the title of top Leadership Week Team 2016. Each team is made up of a mix of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a variety of different interests. Leadership week teaches students how to work together whether we are competing in penny wars, trivia, tug of war, or an obstacle course. This year’s winning leadership week teams were the Patriots and the Rockstar Divas. The Patriots raised the most money for the New Haven Food Pantry through penny wars and the Rockstar Divas won in overall points. Members of each team will be treated to China King delivered at lunch next week. Leadership week is a great opportunity for all the students at New Haven High to become a little closer than before. - Lauren Hoerstkamp New Haven School District #138 Job Posting Position: Cook (9 month)

New Haven High School will be having a Winter Ball dance and basketball game on December 9. The Winter Ball candidates for the freshmen are Mckenzie Overschmidt and Gavin Frick. In the sophomore class, it’s Miranda Durbin and Timothy Madden. For juniors, it’s Lauren Gerlemann and Abraham Madden. And for the seniors, it’s Emma Eichelberger and Zachary Vedder. They will be walking down the gym floor to the stage between the JV/Varsity game to see who will be the winners. When asked about why he thought he was nominated, Gavin Frick, age 15, said, “I think I was chosen because my friends thought it would be funny to see me dress up.’’ Emma Eichelberger, age 17, said, “I do not know why I was chosen, but I hope my class sees me as a good representation of our senior class.” Zachary Vedder, age 17, and Lauren Gerlemann, 17, both said they wanted to be nominated as the Winter Ball candidates and are happy that they get to represent their classes. When asked about how they felt, they were all genuinely surprised, excited, and happy to be nominated as candidates. Miranda Durbin, age 15, was asked what she is most excited about for the Winter Ball dance, and this is what she had to say: “I'm most excited for the pre-game. I'm a cheerleader, so it's going to be exciting to cheer and walk for the candidacy.” Lauren Gerlemann was asked the same question, and this was her response: “I'm excited to stroll leisurely down the court with my pal, Abe.” Timothy Madden, age 15, and Gavin both claimed they were excited to hang out with their friends at the dance. McKenzie Overschmidt, age 14, said she was excited about walking down the gym and excited for the dance after the game. Of course, we can’t spoil what our candidates are going to be wearing (though we do know that our basketball players, Zachary Vedder and Abraham Madden, age 17, will be wearing their basketball warm-up suits). Come to the JV/Varsity game on December 9, starting at 6:00 P.M., to see our dashing candidates and to cheer them on as they walk down the gym. By: Lexie Nixon
Getting into the fall months, the weather isn't the only thing that changes. New sports seasons for New Haven are just beginning, one being basketball. Basketball is one of the many sports New Haven offers, and, like any sport, one the community looks forward to. New Haven boys’ basketball team began practicing on October 31st. At this time, they are beginning their preparation for their upcoming games. Every practice is a learning experience for every player. New Haven’s basketball players are always looking to improve so they are able to make the best of each season. When John Fleer was asked how he feels about the basketball season starting, his response was, “I'm excited to see what this season has to offer and to see overall, as a team, how we have improved.” Last year the boys’ basketball team had a 5-22 win to loss ratio. Along with the boys, the girls’ basketball team has also kicked off their season with their first practice on October 31st. It is said that confidence is key, and according to McKenzie Overschmidt, these girls definitely have it. When she was asked what outcome she is expecting from the season, she exclaimed, “With the players we have this year I’m expecting to win a lot of games and go to state!” Last season, the girls had a 15-13 win to loss ratio. The players aren't the only ones excited for the basketball season. Aaron Peirick, coach of New Haven boys’ basketball team, was asked what his thoughts on the upcoming season are, and he responded with, “We have a pretty exciting opportunity in front of us this year. So far, we have had leaders come forward and we have had guys leave their comfort zone; both as far as effort and the roles they need to play for us this year. We have plenty of different pieces as far as personnel goes.“ He continued by saying, “I think we have more depth than we have had here lately. We have some size, some length, and some quickness which help our cause a little bit. I think if we can stay out of our own way mentally, we can accomplish some good things. We have a long way to go to reach our full potential, but I think that this group can get there. ” Doug Peirick, coach of New Haven girls’ basketball team, was also asked about his thoughts on the upcoming season, and his response was, “I think we have a lot of talent, and we are going to be able to do a lot of good things as long as we stay healthy, because we don't have a lot of depth.” The response of the girls’ basketball team, boys’ basketball team, and their coaches tells us we have a lot of great things to expect from the 2016/2017 basketball season of New Haven High School.

On Sunday, November 6, National Honor Society members planted trees and bushes in our local park. Without the help of New Haven High School’s National Honor Society members, the Parks and Recreation Department would have taken days to plant and complete the task. Brooke Reed, the National Honor Society president, commented, “All of the trees/bushes that we planted on Sunday produce some sort of fruit and I did not know how many different kinds of trees produced such fruit…. Hopefully, sometime soon, there will be more animals that come to the park for these fruits, making the park more natural for citizens of New Haven.” When asking Kate Weiser, a member of National Honor Society, what she thought about the tree-planting, she exclaimed, “We planted trees for our future! It was such an honor to see the trees we planted last year already grow so much!” Mrs. Oelrichs, the teacher who leads National Honor Society, gave some words of advice for the next tree-planting event, stating, “For next time, I would advise NHS members to bring a shovel and a strong back! Kirby Menke tells me that we'll have hundreds of trees to plant in the spring, which is a lot more than the 40 we planted this fall.” Thank you, National Honor Society! NHS will be planting again in the spring. PUBLIC NOTICE OF FILING

New Haven High School class of 2014 graduate Rachel Steinhoff shot perfectly from 3-point range, but the Truman State Bulldogs fell to the Missouri Lady Tigers, 87-53 Monday night at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. Truman’s only lead of the game came after Brooke Bailey’s (Dixon, Illinois) 3-pointer, 31 seconds into the first quarter. Senior Cassidy Clark (Coal Valley, Illinois) led the Bulldogs in scoring with 11 and 1 assist. Steinhoff chipped in 10 points, shooting 75% from the field and 3 for 3 from 3-point range. 2014 Hermann High School graduate Jamie Gleeson did not crack the scoring column, but logged 11 minutes of playing time. Leading the way for Mizzou was sophomore Sophie Cunningham (Columbia, Missouri) with 22 points. Senior Lianna Doty (St. Louis, Missouri) led the way in rebounding with 13 rebounds. Senior Sierra Michaelis (Mercer, Missouri) shot 50% from the field and 40% from 3-point range. Steinhoff commented on Truman’s performance stating, “We knew going into the game that they would be bigger and more athletic. We were prepared for the speed and physicality, but I think this got in our head a little bit. Especially in the 1st half, we played too safe.” She continued by saying, “We recognized the challenge it would be, but kind of shied away from that and lost our attack mentality. When we finally relaxed, we were only outscored by 8 points in the 2nd half. Overall, it was just a fun experience and atmosphere, and we came away with a better understanding of who we are as a team and what step to take next.” Regarding playing with former Four Rivers Conference rival Jamie Gleeson, Steinhoff also quoted that, “Playing with Jamie and not against her has been an awesome experience. In high school, I always admired her athleticism and how hard she was willing to work for her team. She knows how to compete and plays to win. She does the same thing for us every single day, whether it be in the weight room, in conditioning, or on the court. These next 2 years should be fun playing alongside her.” After going 0-2 in their 2 exhibition games, Truman State begins regular season play on Saturday, November 12 at Northern Michigan with tipoff set for 7:30 P.M. Good luck to Rachel and the Truman Bulldogs this season!  By: LeeAnna Linton
Jamie Miller is the motivated, engaged Family and Consumer Science teacher here at New Haven High School. Mrs. Miller’s full name is Jamie Lynn Miller (née Schowe). She has an older sister and a younger brother. She also has two kids: Lindsey, who is four years old, and Kelsey, who is two years old. Her husband’s name is Ryan, and he is a heavy equipment operator. Mrs. Miller teaches middle school and high school FACS, Personal Finance, Foods, and Child Development here at NHHS. Not only is she an involved teacher, she is also the advisor for the New Haven High School chapter of FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America). When asked why she wanted to be the advisor of FCCLA, she said, “I was asked if I wanted to continue FCCLA when I was hired after Mrs. Steinhoff retired, and I said yes.” Mrs. Miller grew up in New Haven and graduated from NHHS in 2004. She then went on to the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO, where she received dual credit in early childhood and elementary education. She graduated from UCM in 2008, and then received her Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction in 2011. In her free time, Mrs. Miller likes spending time with family, baking, and crafting. When asked why she wanted to work at New Haven High School, she stated, “I wanted to work in New Haven because I graduated from here, and I knew it was a great district to work in and send my children to.” Her favorite thing about New Haven is the community and how everyone is willing to help each other out. When asked what inspired her to become a FACS teacher, she pronounced, “It is more like who. Lori Peirick thought I would be a good FACS teacher and told me I should apply for the position. I thank her for helping me find my dream job.” Mrs. Miller’s biggest pet peeve is when students do not push in their chairs and put them in the correct spot. If that wasn’t enough information on Mrs. Miller, here are a few more interesting facts! Her favorite show is “Nashville”, her favorite song is “Mind Your Own Biscuits” by Kacey Musgraves, her favorite movie is “Dirty Dancing”, and her favorite food is pizza. On behalf of New Haven High School, thank you, Mrs. Miller, for being a part of the Shamrock team and motivating us to do better every day!
