Forensics Ready
The forensics team will attend their first
tournament of the year at Hill City on February 3.
Returning members on the team include senior
Lindsey Hamblet, and juniors Kayla Fisher, Chris Peavey, and Jolene Eilers.
New members joining the team are senior Chantan Reif, junior Katie Weigel,
and sophmores Jessie Eisiminger, Carissa Fredrickson, and Mandy Cox.
This year the team will be coached by Amy
Krob. In years past Deb Turnbull has been the coach.
Krob said, "I think that the returning
members of the team should have some success this year, but it's definitely
a year of transitions. They have to adjust to a new coach and new team
members. This is a young team without a great amount of experience, so
I think that it might take some time for the new members to feel comfortable
and to be able to perform to the best of their ability."
What Does It Mean?
The newspaper staff asked PHS students what
they thought nictitate means, and the following are some of their responses.
"A nicotine patch that looks like a
potato."- Juniors Mandy Kraushaar and Rhiannon Becker
"Nictitate means a small bug that is
found in chemicals in the Chemistry Lab."- Senior Lindsey Ostrom
"A tasty new tobacco substitute."-
Junior Chris Peavey
Nictitate means to flirt by winking the
eye.
Winter Glacade Plans
Being Made

attendants are Brianna Casey and Cade Megaffin. FCCLA chose a sky scene
with a huge silver crescent moon and stars on a dark purple background
which will be the backdrop for the pictures.
"I think the planning for Winter Glacade
is going really well. It's been kind of hard to plan things since we haven't
had a date set for the crowning ceremony because of athletic conflicts,
but I think it'll go really well. Everyone's ready to have a good time,"
FCCLA President Sarah Koehler said.
Band Concert Planned
The Plainville High School concert band

to wear to represent their group. Each member was given a choice of a
T-shirt, a long sleeved shirt, or a sweatshirt. The shirts were paid for
with extra money that Stuco had. The Stuco officers chose the design and
style.
"We've been busy organizing our duties
of Winter Glacade and trying to have a speaker come to our school,"
