Personal Finance Class Helps Seniors

Prepare for the Future

By: Lauren

Since the start of the sec-

ond semester, the senior

class has been preparing for

their futures in the real

world. By working on mak-

ing investments through the

Stock Market game, as well

as building resumes and

practicing mock interviews

for future employment op-

portunities, this class is get-

ting the training they need

for the future.

The Stock Market Game is

a program provided by the

Black Hills State University

economics department. The

seniors are in teams of two,

where they receive

$100,000 of mock money to

invest in any and as many

stocks as they want. “Their

goal is to gain as much

money between now and

April 17, which is when the

game ends,” stated teacher

Mrs. Gebhart. Not only is

this game a competition be-

tween the LHS senior class,

but they also compete

against other schools in

South Dakota. With over

186 teams in the program,

the top pairs in the state

receive a

cash prize.

With that,

the seniors

have also

been working

on learning

the basics of

job resumes

and cover

letters. They

applied their

learning by

completing 15-minute mock

interviews with employees

from the South Dakota De-

partment of Labor. Before

the interviews, Morgan Dau-

wen stated, “I’m a bit nerv-

ous for them, but it will be

good for us to become com-

fortable around strangers.”

By: Macyn Throughout the month of February, Mrs. Klitzke has kept her classes busy with projects. Her sophomore British Literature class has been studying the satire piece The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Introducing the project to the class, Mrs. Klitzke as-signed each student a character and had them bring the character to life and compare them to somebody in today’s society. Along with reading the story, Mrs. Klitzke had the class watch “A Knights Tale” which was drawn from the story. Klitzke stated, “My favorite part so far is seeing the descriptions they’ve come up with comparing their characters with somebody in today’s society. They’ve made some interesting choices.” In her eighth grade English class, the students have recently read the book The Inventions of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznik. After reading the book and watching the movie, the students started on their project. Each student was challenged with

finding a problem and coming up with an in-vention or innovation as a solution. One example is the project done by Belle Corcoran, who cre-ated “Fashion Perfect.” Along with making a prototype, they had to make a poster explain-ing the process as well as a three-minute per-suasive speech. Klitzke plans on carrying this project on to future clas-ses but said that she “would have the kids do more research on the cost-effectiveness of their projects.” Six indi-viduals from the com-munity came into to be judges for the ‘shark tank’ competition that completed this class pro-ject.

High School Students See Legislators in Action

By: Madison On February 12, both the eleventh-grade history and twelfth grade gov-ernment classes took a field trip to South Dakota’s State Capital in Pierre. This was the second year the students got the opportunity to par-take on this educational trip. Mrs. Straight shared, “Students not only learn how the government works, but also understand that they are why it works. Although they might not think it, they are a part of it as well.” While there, the students were giv-en the opportunity to sit in on com-mittee meetings and visit both the House and Senate chamber galleries, as well as listen to bits and pieces of both legislative sessions. Additionally, they got to explore the capitol’s histo-ry, art, and architecture with the help of Perkins County State’s Attorney Shane Penfield as their tour guide. They even got to sneak in a quick chat with both Governor Kristi No-em and representative Ryan Ma-her. Trip chaperone Mrs. Loder sum-marized, “Even though the rest of the school got a snow day, our trip to Pierre to see the legislature was a lot of fun. We learned a lot and our students represented us very well.”

Young Team Pursues Big Goals

By: Zayda With no seniors and few athletes, this year's wrestling team had to step up and become their own leaders. As their ages ranged from seventh to eleventh grade, with several different weight classes, each wrestler had to learn to push himself. Head Coach, Weston Ginther, stat-ed that one of his goals "was to in-spire this group of athletes to see and understand the tremendous potential they have in the sport of wrestling." They went about accomplishing these goals by trying new practice routines and entering tournaments that would give each wrestler the adequate com-petition he needed to get better. The Killdeer tournament was one of these tournaments, as every Lemmon/McIntosh Cowboy made it up on the podium. Ginther commented,

"Everyone wrestled extremely well." Each wrestler worked hard to im-prove throughout the season. Ginther added, "Even though we are a very young and inexperienced team, all the wrestlers have a very good work ethic. Practices can be very challeng-ing, and they always worked ex-tremely hard while never complain-ing." All their hard work accumulated as four wrestlers, Jim Klein, Cord Beer, Andrew Dirk, and Gage Anderson, competed at the region tournament held in Hot Springs. Klein and Beer both stated that the region meet was their favorite meet of the season, even though they didn't make it to the state meet. Seventh-grader, Gage Anderson, placed fourth and was the only wrestler to advance to the state wrestling meet to be held in

Sioux Falls on February 27-29. Gage added, “I told myself I am going to win because my dad’s birthday is on Friday.” Beer, placing fifth, wrestled hard and narrowly missed qualifying by only one place. Both the coaches and the wrestlers are excited for next year. Ginther stated, "We are looking forward to our young team continuing to build on the improvements they made this year. Next year I believe they will continue to make big jumps in their ability levels. I think next year will be the season that all of their hard work starts coming together, and they will start to exceed a lot of expectations."

RHYME

If you had intro music, what song would it be and why? 12th Grade: Macyn: “Perm” by Bruno Mars because it’s such an upbeat song and reflects my personality.

11th Grade: Tally: “Stay” by Post Malone Sabe: “Introducing Me” because Megan told me it reminded her of me.

10th Grade: Herman: “Low Rider” because it’s in the show George Lopez. Sara: “This is Me” because I’m going to be myself, and if you don’t like it, you can take it or leave it.

9th Grade Jim: “Falling Out of Trees” by Barcelona. I haven’t heard the song, but I’m good at it. Alyssa: “Don’t Bring Me Down” because no one should bring someone down because of their words.

8th Grade: Dillon: “Vacation” by Dirty Heads because it’s a relaxing“ish” song. Kaycee: “Yours” by Russell Dickerson. It’s me and my dad’s favorite song.

7th Grade: Aiden: “Staying Alive” because I love how energetic it is. Mya: “Living On a Prayer” because it is a good song. 6th Grade: Chel: “Suspense” because I can be very sneaky sometimes when it comes to annoy-ing my brothers and sisters.
