Forensic team attends their first tournament at Oberlin Four members of the Plainville High School forensics team will attend their first meet of the year January 26, at Overlin High School. They will be seniors Chris Peavey and Jolene Eilers and freshmen Chantel Plante and Heather Schonthaler. Peavey and Eilers will be performing Impromptu Duet Acting together and each will perform a prose reading individually. Plante and Schonthaler will be performing a duet act together. The forensics team has many new members this year. They are senior Luke Wise, senior Heather Plante, junior Jamie Marcotte, junior Willie Ruder, junior Naomi Thompson, sophomore Makenzi Rempe, and freshman Stephanie Trabet, as well as plante and Schonthaler. Returning members are Peavey, Eilers, seniors Kayla Fisher, and junior Carissa Fredrickson. A conflict of schedules with MCL wrestling combined with new membership kept participation in the first tournament to only four. Several other members are attending to watch the other performers to gain insight into the forensics process. The second meet, February 2, will also have low participation due to scheduling, as the annual Youth for Music honor band and choir fall on the same day. Only Marcotte and Fredrickson will be competing at the February 2 tournament. The Cardinal Boosters for the month of January are seniors Kayla Fisher and Mike Langholz. Fisher has been involved in volleyball, basketball, track, softball, cheerleading, FCCLA, Pep Club, forensics, All-school play, YIKES, band, and Stuco In her spare time she enjoys being with her friends. Her favorite food is pasta. Her favorite song is "all or Nothing" by O-Town, and her favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. Fisher's most memorable moment while attending PHS is when Renee, Stacy, Rhiannon and her borrowed flowers from...uh, Stacy's grandma for their Homecoming float. Langholz has been involved in football and FFA. In his spare time he likes to hang out with friends, ride his 4-wheeler, go hunting and fishing and make money. His favorite food is lasagna. His favorite song is "Fuel" by Metallica, and his favorite movie is Shrek. Langholz' most memorable moment while attending PHS was watching Jeremiah Lumpkin get laid out by Tyler Nelson in a football scrimmage and when Jeremiah started yelling after Ross Balthazor tackled him. 2002: just another number on the calendar to me. By: Chris Peavy The new year is a time to look back on what we've done. Then you try very hard to cover up the evidence and deal with any pesky witnesses. After you've finished erasing your past, it's then time to look forward to the bright future ahead. You might want to disregard the fact that 2002 is going to be just like 2001, with basically the same garbage to deal with. (Although we hopefully won't have to deal with so many guys named Mohammed in the news.) In that vein, I think we'd all benefit from making some phony resolutions that we all know we'll break by, well, you've probably already broken yours. To set the tom, I'll go first. I firmly resolve to be less cynical and sarcastic in my day-to-day life. I will brim the milk of human kindness and never again fire off my mouth in anger. When an idiot says something stupid, I will resist the urge to zing the doofus, no matter how dumb he may be. Or she may be. I'm an equal opportunity wisenheimer, and heaven knows there are more than a few female morons. I'll stop now before I have to deal with some fanatical women's group who won't be satisfied until all men are kept in cages and fed bread crusts. (Yes ladies, I have in fact broken your code. There's one man who knows of your insidious plot!) Oh wait. I broke that resolution last week. Gimme a second and I'll try again. Okay. Got it. I firmly resolve to not look down on myself and put myself down. I will truly be my own best friends, despite my abnormally large head. And ski-shaped feet. And large nose. And oversize teeth. And... Well, that fell apart didn't it? Let's try again. I firmly resolve to take a more positive outlook on life. I resolve to never again be a stalwart pessimist. I'll look at the glass as half full. From now on, I'll find the positive side of the fact that half the world is out to get us, our government is apparently run by poorly trained monkeys, crime is on the rise, prices are higher than afroman, people are being fired left and right, my computer doesn't work right, Britney Spears hasn't faded into well-deserved obscurity yet, and Hilary Clinton managed to be made a Senator after breaking every law in the Constitution and moving into New York three hours before the election. You know, I think that's too tall an order. All right, last try. I firmly resolve to learn how to fly. There we go. That's much more manageable. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a mission. I'm going to use my new airborne talents to spy on those women's groups. Don't worry men, I shall uncover their scheme so that we might strike back! The army of men shall throw off the yoke of X-chromosome tyranny! Just remember our battle cry. Echoing from house to house of this great land. "Yes, dear." Ask yourself, "If we ever have a snow day what will I do?" Students around PHS were randomly asked this same question. This is what they had to say. Freshman Mark Axelson - "I would sleep in." Sophomore Amy Ledbetter - "Clean house or maybe sleep in." Sophomore Tyler Nelson - "In the morning I will go outside then come back inside. I will go to my grandma's house and eat Campbells soup." Freshman Lauren Hemphill - "Sleep and go visit my grandma." Senior Janell Darnell - "Sleep in and go out to Kelcee's to go sledding behind the 4-wheelers. We already have it planned." Senior Jennifer Jones - "I would sleep in and then get my friends together and go snow mobiling" Senior Matt Renk - "Wake up at 6:30, go to work on the farm in the snow and feed cows all day long." Junior Wayne Cook - "Play in the snow with the four wheller and then come to town if I can and have fun." Junior Ashley Becker - "Well, if I don't have to work, I'd probably sleep." Junior Lori Wessel - "I would sleep in until after 1 PM. Then I would watch TV, read my book or get on the Internet or play a game and listen to music." Junior Colleen Veatch - "sleep all day and lay around the house." Senior Tony Dopita - "I'd probably have to go to work, but if not I would sleep in and probably play video games." Sophomore Jerimiah Lumpkin - "If we had a snow day I would stay home and sleep, and also play my new Playstation 2." Wade Ditter - "I would enjoy the day indoors. Probably watch some daytime TV or watch a favorite movie."
Here is the talk of the school if you haven't already heard. The word is... Chris Peavey knows what it is like to get called into the office for a little "no, no." Anyone with firecrackers, watch out they might be mistaken for something else. Just ask Wayne Cook. Bladder control was taught when you were theree... three individuals had a memory lapse. Cheerleaders survived the Rooster Palace. PHS is home to a little entertainer. If you are confused, ask around or just ask Janell. Congratulations to all basketball players for their hard work during the MCL tournament. We also would like to congratulate the wrestlers for their hard work during the Beloit tournament. Good luck to the wrestlers for the upcoming MCL tournament! Attention seniors: only about four more months left of school!!!! Concert and Jazz bands will perform winter concert The band will have its winter concert Tuesday, January 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium. The concert band will be playing "Caost Guards March" by James Swearingen, "The Great Gate of Kiev" by Moussorgsky, "Strike up the Band" by Jerry Bru\baker, and "Chorale and Shaker Dance II" by JOn Zdechlik. The jazz selections are "My Girl," "Chicago," and "Gimme Some Lovin," all arranged by Jerry Nowak. "The band is doing a super job this year. They are fun to work with, and I appreciate them trying new and harder music," Mrs. Reishus said. Students/teachers tell about their vacations The Cardinal Booster Staff asked several PHS students and teachers about what they did over the Christmas vacation. Following are some of their replies: "I slept, went out with friends and tried to stay out of trouble!" - senior Katie Weigel. "I basically stayed home. My mom and sisters came to Plainville to visit. We opened gifts on Christmas morning and then went out to my grandparent's house in Codell and spent the day with family." - freshman Lance Gosser. "I went to my grandma's on Christmas Eve. Over break, I mostly hung out with my friends and enjoyed my time off." - sophomore Kira Schumacher. "I went to Goodland and Oberlin for Christmas to visit family, and when I wasn't there, I was here hanging out with my friends. On New Year's I went to Hays with my friends and Derek Furman." - junior Carissa Fredrickson. "I had to ride to Las Vegas with my uncle, aunt and their obnoxious two-year old! I spent a week with my mom in Las Vegas. I was in 8 different states over break!" - senior Kayla Fisher. "I didn't do much over break. I sat around the house for most of it. I spent time with family and friends and watched a lot of football." - Mr. Ditter. "I went to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri and my family went shopping." - sophomore Aryn Garvin. "I wrestled, slept and shot blue rock." - junior Jason Rath "I opened up some cool gifts and visited my relatives for Christmas For New Year's I went out with some friends." - senior Cody Pfaff "More than you know." - senior Jason Lindsey. "I bought my husband a vehicle, because I'm the best wife in the whole world!" - Mrs. Krob. A month in the life of: The Cardinal Booster Staff by Chris Peavey Your newspaper staff is a tireless, well-oiled machine. The three of us who are lucky enough to be able to inform you about the school and its students and staff are extremely dedicated to giving you the best writing we can. And in the interest of giving you, the reader, a glimpse into the inner working of the Cardinal Booster, I am proud to present: A month in the life of the Booster staff Each month begins the same way, with the brainstorming session. This is where we decide on the stories we will cover throughout the month. All three of us work out several different story ideas, as well as the usual monthly features like the Big Mouths, Guess Who?, and the humor column, Then we divide up the assignments among the three of us. We set deadlines for all the stories and post them on the board behind Mr. Sims' desk. It's a way to keep track of what we still need to do. It's also a way for you to keep track of how much we're putting off. The last thing we do on brainstorming day is elect our boosters of the month. So, if you want to be a booster, remember to hassle us at the end of the month before the month when your class is up for boosters! Over a roughly two-week period, we set out to get every conceivable detail of the stories we're doing. As the time goes by, we finish our stories one by one, before or by the deadlines on the board. At least, Rhiannon and Shanna do. I've never met a deadline I didn't miss. The articles are written up and sent to Sims to proofread. After he's read them and okayed them, we correct any mistakes that Sims caught. Sims then re-proofreads the articles, and if there are no remaining errors, we set them up for final copy. When the time comes for paste-up, Sims makes up :dummy sheets" for each page of the newspaper. These are the rough outlines of what each page will look like. Next, our articles are saved on a zip disk and transferred from Microsoft Word to Adobe PageMaker. This is where we paste all the pieces, articles and pictures, into the normal Booster layout. During this step we also write in all the headlines. After that, all that remains is to print out each peage and make all the copies for each teacher's SIP class. The staff doesn't usually do the folding of the actual copies. Sims usually asks one of his yearbook classes to do that, so we can get the paper out sooner. (Just giving credit where credit is due.) That basically sums up a month for your newspaper staff. Some serious work goes into setting up the Booster each month, but we never get tired ot it. We're going to keep writing until you tell us to stop. We hope this gives you an idea of what it takes to put together a newspaper each month, and maybe even convince you to sign up yourself next year. We'd hate to be the last ones to drive Sims nuts. Reishus chosen for State honor Choir Sophomore Michelle Reishus has been chosen as a member of the Kansas Music Educators' Association State Honor Choir. Recites was one of six altos chosen from the entire Northwest KMEA district. Reishus, along with the rest of the choir, will sing a total of seven songs at their upcoming concert in Wichita.
