With all four students (Kaitlyn

McCartney, Sierra Sattler, Macyn Flat-

moe, and Megan Negh) from Lemmon

placing at districts in Mobridge and

moving onto regions, the team

brought home the trophy awarded for

the most points at the districts compe-

tition. To prepare for the region com-

petition, the oral interpretation coach,

Mrs. Heil, had the team of four per-

form in front of the school at the Turn-

ing Point Christian Center church

across the street. On November 20,

they traveled to Pierre, South Dakota,

to compete at the Region meet. Two of

the four competitors, Megan Nehl and

Macyn Flatmoe, moved on to state in

Aberdeen the next week.

With the ratings at state going from good, excellent, superior, to superior with distinction, the two students pre-

pared themselves for the competition. Ending the season, Megan Nehl achieved an excellent rating in Humor-ous, and Macyn Flatmoe achieved an excellent rating in Story-Telling. “Both of the competitors did an excellent job as far as I was concerned, and they both got excellent ratings; however, with the new rubric that got put into place, the superior and the superior with distinction were just out of our reach,” Mrs. Heil commented.

Classes Stay Busy with Hands On Learning By: Avery Haase

During the Ag Power class, the students were given a project to create a machine that operated with hydraulics. The stu-

dents got the option to pick the kind of machine and what it did using sy-ringes, tubing, popsicle sticks, and other materi-als. Overall, their require-

ment was to have a mini-mum of one hydraulic component, and it had to work. They all completed this successfully.

The Biology II class completed a fingerprint lab where they had to study many different types of fingerprints. Each one had to take their own prints, and then studied what type of characteris-tics it consisted of. They had to mix everyone’s up

and try to figure out who belonged to which fin-gerprint. The Biology II class had to work togeth-er and find out who “broke into the conces-sions and anyone else who was involved.” There were many fingerprints that were transferred on-to a notecard and also

the persons actual finger-print paper. Each student had to work together as a team to match the finger-prints on the notecard to the actual paper. Overall, the students learned that not all fingerprints are the same and also there are so many ways to examine prints.

In the fourth hour Speech class, the sopho-mores completed demonstration speeches. Mostly everyone chose something that they are good at or that they love to do, such as Anna Beer

who showed them how to write in calligraphy. They also had to think outside of the box, such as Chloe Trogstad who decided to put a twist on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and instead made a pea-nut butter and chocolate

chip sandwich. Peyton Anderson commented that his favorite part of the whole project was feeding Britt Oliver cook-ie dough mix made by Arthur Harrison. *more pictures located on page 4

By: Javi Perez

Mrs. Knuth’s animal science class completed a unit learning about ani-mal health, nutrition and digestion. Each group researched the size and

importance of each digestive system part. Then they created a ‘life size’ poster with actual lengths and sizes portrayed. Each group presented their creation and explained what each part

of the digestive track does. The class covered main digestive systems: rumi-nant (cow & sheep), monogastric (horse), and avian (chicken).

Cowboys Kick Off the Wrestling Season By: Beth Tennant

The Cowboys kick off the wrestling season with a tournament in Stanley County. Coach Scott Peterson com-mented, “The kids wrestled hard, showing their competitiveness.” One of Coach Peterson’s goals for the sea-

son is to continue to improve weekly. The Cowboys’ work on many different techniques in the wrestling room so there isn’t just one move they learn. Every wrestler is different, so that means that each wrestler has a differ-ent preference to moves. Coach Peter-

son said he enjoys the interactions with the wrestlers the most. Wrestler Jake Ellison commented, “One chal-lenge of wrestling is maintaining weight throughout the year. I most enjoy being able to see improvement after every practice.”
