NHHS discusses and reviews new It: Chapter 2 movie

10/18/2019

By: Bernabe Ribera

Everyone is familiar with the new It: Chapter 2 movie, based on the original novel written by Stephen King. It was his 22nd book and 17th novel. His new movie has been given many great reviews by critics and people around our community. A Google form was sent out to NHHS students asking them how they felt about Stephen King’s new movie, which premiered in theaters on September 6, 2019.

When asked about their favorite part of the movie and if any jumpscares got them, a few students shared their experience.

Madison Langenberg, junior, replied with, “I like when the main characters all met at Derry. There were a few jumpscares that got me.”

Autumn Harvey, junior, stated, “My favorite part is at the end when Richie was at the bridge and was re-carving the R+E for him and Eddie. Only some of the jumpscares got me.”

“Although I'm terrified of spiders, I found the scene where Stanley's head turned into a spider-like creature to be the best part of the movie. Also no, none of the jumpscares got me,” replied Paige Remillard, senior.

Later on, they were asked if they prefer Stephen King's original It movie from 1986 or his recent remakes. Haleigh Nicholas, junior, said, “I liked them both, because It is the only horror movie I can watch without getting nightmares.”

“The first one, because it was scarier than the second, and the second is more funny than scary,” replied Keegan Wiedemann, sophomore.

“I liked the first movie because I didn't know what to expect, but in the second movie, I knew what kind of things were going to happen,” commented Madison Langenberg.

Daniel Huff, junior, responded with, “The first It [from 1986]. It had some good scares and moments. The second movie was badly written with some terrible dialogue. The tone wasn't what it could have been, and the director tried to give us all seizures instead of scaring us.”

“[I prefer] It: Chapter 2, because I felt that the first one was testing the waters. It wasn't as scary and it seemed like it was tip-toeing around certain things. Whereas in the second one it was intense and scary. It feels like it knows what it wants to do and say. It’s not unsure of itself,” said Paige Remillard.

Nolen Brown, junior, stated, “I like both equally. They both have great humor and great action and they are all-around good films.”

“I liked It: Chapter 2 because it was so much funnier. It really caught my attention more than the other one,” replied Ariana Ribera, junior.

All in all, Stephen King’s new movie has given everyone a few scares and some funny moments to remember. Many of NHHS’s students enjoyed his latest film, and we hope to see more from Stephen King.

New Haven purchases a new police truck

10/17/2019

By: Andrew Lamke

Rumors have been going around that there is a new police truck in the small town of New Haven. Although it is not in use at this moment, many students from New Haven High School have seen the truck around town.

Those students had this to say:

“I think it is awesome and that it should be on a lift kit,” replied sophomore Keegan Wiedemann.

Junior Logan Senecal commented, “It’s very cool.”

Sophomore Jacob Alvarez jokingly answered, “We have more police vehicles than police officers.”

“I think having a truck would be a great fit to our police force,” mentioned junior Rylan Ball.

“I don’t necessarily know why we need it, but I think the truck is very nice,” answered junior Brande Kubiak.

“From what I have seen of the new truck, it looks nice and very professional and I trust that it will be put to good use,” replied senior Paige Remillard.

Junior Ian Nieto mentioned, “I think three cars might be enough, but I really like the truck because it is different and I think it would be a great addition to the police force.”

“The truck looks great,” said junior Joseph Malone.

It looks like the NHHS students have a variety of opinions on the new police truck.

Art students express their thoughts on art independent study class

10/16/2019

By: Paige Remillard

New Haven High School has many different styles of classes to offer. One of these kinds of classes is independent art classes. This class is offered to students who want to explore more into the world of art. The students are given a list of requirements that they have to complete in order to pass the class. The students sit in the art room that is watched over by Mrs. Katie Borcherding-- this is where the students will work on projects that they have to come up with for that month. Each student must turn in a project at the end of each month.

This year, some pieces will even go to an art show that is held at East Central College. Depending on how good the artwork is, it may qualify to enter the 4 Rivers Conference Art Show, which is held at East Central College. This is typically held around spring or mid-March. This year, however, is a little bit different. The independent art students have another chance to show off their work-- if chosen, they could have their art pieces displayed at an art gallery held at the old Lancito’s building. All the art pieces that go to the art showings are selected by Mrs. Borcherding.

The students in art independent study are also being assigned The Hexagon Project. For this project, students are required to draw, sculpt, print, or use any media that they choose. The Hexagon Project is to show what effect the human race has on the Earth from the eyes of students.

Some students had this to say about the independent art class:

Dori McCarty, junior, said that her favorite part about independent study is “the ability to choose what I want to do and have the freedom to do it. And to make on-the-whim choices.”

Bernabe Ribera, senior, commented that he loves this class “because I can listen to music and distract myself from outside noise while I can draw.”

Dalyla Hurst, senior, expressed that her favorite part about independent study is “I get to do projects that I want to do and hang out with my friends because they’re all in that class.”

There are plenty of other classes that are offered as an independent study class. Students have plenty to choose from when picking out their classes for the next school year.

Students tell us what really goes on at Four Rivers Career Center

10/15/2019

By: Natalie Pecaut

New Haven High School is known for its academic excellence. At New Haven High, students have the option to take classes at the Four Rivers Career Center in Washington. Yes, New Haven gives its students the opportunity to take math, science, English, history, and shop classes, but the options are limited when it comes to pursuing training in a trade.

Sometimes, it is falsely believed that the students who attend the Four Rivers Career Center don’t care about their grades and just want to take a “half day” of school. But really, some of the Four Rivers students often have more homework than a student taking other classes at NHHS.

Destinee Deener, who takes Health Occupations at Four Rivers, mentioned, “We spend half of our day at the hospital, learning from nurses and doctors. Then we go home and have 2-3 hours of homework and lots of studying to do, on top of all the homework we have from school. It gets very stressful at times, but the environment is fun and this will all be worth it in the long run.”

Brandon Young, another student from New Haven who attends the Four Rivers Career Center, is in the auto tech repair class.

I asked what his thoughts were on the career center, and Brandon commented, “I love going to the career center. The teachers treat us like adults and make it feel as much like a work environment as they can. We also have homework to get done for our classes there, but mainly all of our work is hands-on, and it's [kind of] hard to fit a car in your backpack.”

Another student enrolled in Four Rivers is Lauren Hoerstkamp. Lauren wants to pursue a career in the teaching profession, and this is one step on the path to becoming one.

I sat down with Lauren so I could get her comments on what the career center is like for her. Lauren mentioned, “This is my first year at Four Rivers, and I’m loving it! I love the freedom and the responsibilities we have here-- it’s almost like I’m running my own classroom. I have to make lesson plans, schedules, and then sit down and listen to lectures from teachers and learn about different tactics on how to become a teacher. Getting to be hands-on with the kids is so fun, but then I also get lots of work to take home.”

These are just some of the many classes you can take at the Four Rivers Career Center. I want more people to know that the Four Rivers students aren't just trying to get out of school by attending this program, they are trying to build up their careers now, and this is one step in the right direction to make that happen.

Students discuss their favorite things about the fall season

10/14/2019

By: Addison Tolar

It’s fall, y’all! Some may argue it is the best season-- with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fire Fest, cool weather, pumpkin patches, and Fright Fest at Six Flags. Fall is close to the top of the list of the best seasons for most people.

When asked what their favorite thing about fall was, students were given the options of Halloween/Fright Fest, pumpkin patches, cool weather, leaves changing color, Thanksgiving, and Fire Fest. 16 people said Halloween/Fright Fest, 11 said pumpkin patches, 18 said the cool weather, 15 said the leaves changing color, 12 said Thanksgiving, and 6 said Fire Fest.

They were also asked why their choice was their favorite.

Madison Langenberg, a junior who chose Halloween, said, “I love going to haunted houses.”

Destiney Quick, a sophomore who chose every option, said, “Fall is my favorite season next to summer. It's not raging hot like the summer heat, but it’s not freezing cold like the winter cold. Fall is the perfect time to bring out all of the cute clothes and match things with leggings and not have to wear a big coat in fear of freezing. You can simply just throw on a cute outfit and a nice sweater and call it good.”

Lastly, students were asked if they have already done any fall-favorite activities.

Paige Remillard, senior, said, “Nope. I've stared at dead leaves on the ground, that's about it.”

Maria Sheible, junior, said, “I have been pretty busy on the weekends, so all I have gotten to do is watch a bunch of scary movies. Scary movies are literally the best genre of movie out there.”

Fall is here and the NHHS students are excited about it. Have fun this spooky season, y’all!

Band students reflect on the Washington Marching Festival

10/13/2019

By: Sam Penning

A Google form was sent out to participants in the Washington Marching Festival, asking for their opinions on the parade that occurred on Saturday, Oct. 5th.

The parade started on W. Main Street at 8:30 in the morning. Being the first high school band in the parade, New Haven stepped off at 8:35, and turned right onto Jefferson Street. The Shamrocks then marched down to Dairy Delight, and turned left onto E. Eighth Street. The parade ended in the WHS parking lot. The band marched just under a mile in the parade.

When asked how they thought the band had performed overall, Matthew Otten, junior low-brass, stated, “I believe the low brass were very strong, but still need to work on some things.”

Casey Baker, junior drum major, commented, “I thought we kept trying even though [we felt] we didn't do well.”

The participants were then asked what the band could most improve on for the future. Adam Homeyer, sophomore trumpet, responded, “I think the band needs to improve on fixing its foot phasing and staying in step.”

Matthew Otten said, “The band needs to improve on stepping with the heel to get rid of some phasing that we have.”

When asked if there was anything that the participants thought their individual sections could improve on, the general consensus was that the band needs to play louder.

Good job to the marching band so far, and good luck to them in the future.

Christian Price said, “Helping the ice cream stand.”

Ariana Ribera replied with, “I was really looking forward to going there with my family [and] just having a great time and being able to buy glow sticks.”

The last question was, “If you attended the Balloon Glow in past years, what are some of your favorite memories?”

Natalie Pecaut said, “Watching all the balloons light up.”

Natalie Buchheit commented, “Walking around with friends and joking around with them.”

Paige Remillard responded with, “I enjoyed watching the balloons light up because it was beautiful against the starry night sky ”

Christian Price said, “Watching the balloons glow.”

Students express their thoughts on the Penny Wars fundraiser

10/11/2019

By: Haleigh Nicholas

Penny Wars are fundraisers done by New Haven High School to raise money for charities. The penny war happened last week, which was September 30th-October 4th.

The competition involved students putting money in jars to be donated to the American Red Cross, which is going to send the money to aid relief efforts in the Bahamas. Junior Dori McCarty was the one who made this penny war possible for the students at NHHS. The high school’s current events class sponsored the penny war. The official donation will be made this week by Mrs. Wnuk. There will also be a representative from People’s Savings Bank at the volleyball game on Thursday presenting NHHS with a check. Mrs. Borcherding will take a photo of that. The total amount of money that was raised through Dori’s penny war was $527.10.

The victims of the hurricane in the Bahamas suffered almost 24 hours of brutal winds, lots of rain, and lots of damage. There was flash-flooding, lots of damage to houses, fallen trees, collapsed bridges, and flooded roads.

In response to why this competition was organized, junior Haleigh Nicholas said, “It was to raise money for the Bahamas and for the victims of a hurricane that sat over the Bahamas for 24 hours.”

Junior Dori McCarty said, “To help the survivors of Hurricane Dorian. To raise awareness of the destruction of the hurricane.”

“[The penny war] was created because Dori wanted to help out the people in the Bahamas that suffered from Hurricane Dorian. She wanted to raise money for them,” reports senior Lauralie Grater.

Senior Hunter Garren said, “It was for the victims of Hurricane Dorian and to help the survivors of the hurricane.”

Dan Brinkman shares his thoughts on FRCC night shift

10/7/2019

By: Brandon Young

Four Rivers Career Center offers a wide variety of classes to choose from, but only one of them offers a night shift program-- Automotive Technology. This night shift program allows students to come in from 4:00 P.M. to around 8:00 P.M. Students will take an old beat-up tractor and completely rebuild it-- everything from the motor, to the wheels, and then to paint. These tractor projects are documented step-by-step and, at the end of the year, will be introduced into a nationwide contest. Many students partake in this night shift program at FRCC, and they all seem to enjoy it. Night shift usually begins mid-way through November.

Dan Brinkman is the instructor for the night shift program and takes great pride in what he does at FRCC. He is not paid for hosting the night shift program-- he does it because he wants to. He wants to help the students who want to go the extra mile.

The students who participate in the night shift program receive no school grade while attending night shift, which means it is completely voluntary. The students who choose to participate in night shift get to further their knowledge in the automotive industry.

When asked about his favorite thing about the night shift program, Dan answered, “Giving kids the opportunity to learn more about what they love, and the food!”

Dan was asked what motivates him to be so dedicated to the night shift. His response was, “Part of it is the competition”--Dan really likes winning--“but I really love to see the kids compete, and try as hard as they can.”

Another question that was asked was what does the competition yield. The competition yields a trophy for podium winner, and a $5,000 scholarship to the first place winner as well as a $2,500 tool set by Snap-On.

Another thing night shift students get to do is cook some very delicious meals. On most nights, they all pitch in some money and go to the store, and get stuff to make dinner. They make literally any homestyle-type meals like chili, country fried steak, fried chicken, and burgers. This is a big part of the night shift program that helps everyone there get to know each other better.

NHHS A+ students talk about helping the elementary kids

A+ students help teachers at the elementary school who need assistance. A Google form was sent out to a few A+ students and Mr. Doug Peirck asking them about how they feel going to the elementary to help out the students.

Mr. Doug Peirick was questioned what NHHS students do over at the elementary and he responded with, “Students tutor our younger students in areas that they need extra help in and also mentor good behavior and citizenship in the school. They do get a grade for the class and it is just one requirement that A+ students need to meet to receive the A+ Scholarship that helps pay for tuition at a community college or technical school.”

When asked which teacher they help and how they like working with kids, senior Addison Tolar commented, “I actually work in the office so I don't work with the kids but it is fun.”

Senior Jenna Haeffner stated, “I help Mrs. Anderson and I really like helping out the little kids.”

“I work in the office at the elementary and I don't work with students,” said senior Lydia Otten.

Everyone has a favorite memory. Here are some of their favorites with the students they work with.

Jenna Haeffner responded with, “My favorite memory is helping the kids and seeing them smile.”

“I haven't really made memories but I like seeing Mrs. Unnerstall sometimes because she was my favorite teacher [when I was in elementary school,]” said Addison Tolar.

They were later asked why they wanted to join A+ and if they want to continue a career in helping children.

“It is a fun class and can be very enriching,” said Addison Tolar.

“[I joined A+ because I wanted] to help the kids and be there for them,” replied Jenna Haeffner.

Lydia Otten commented by saying, “I want to be a teacher so it helps for my future career.”

Working with kids can be fun but exhausting at the same time. NHHS students take their time to help elementary teachers in exchange for extra credits. Keep up the good work, Shamrocks!
