Teachers, student body select homecoming court

The Gator Highline host-ed a style show on Oct. 17 in the auditorium.

Parents and friends came out to watch the highline members strut their stuff on this year’s newly added cat-walk.

The Highline raised over $1,500 from the style show. The style show was more successful than last year, involving more people and more auction items.

The money raised goes to the Highline’s uniforms for the spring show and also for costs in competitions.

“Getting the donations was easy,” parent Louise Droddy said. “Everyone that we asked was willing to help.”

In order to participate in the style show, the highline girls went around to stores and boutiques in Shreveport to ask for clothing donations.

A contract was required to be signed just in case of dam-ages to or loss of the stores’ merchandise.

The girls chose stores that presented a stylish and pro-fessional look.

“The style show was very fun this year,” Highline cap-tain Rosie Kelly said. “We made great memories, and I really liked the outfits.”

Highline girls modeled a variety of outfits that were causal, cocktail wear and formal wear.Each girl was escorted by a male escort of their choice.At the end of

the show, the Highline girls performed a dance for family and friends.

“The style show is a great benefit,” Droddy said. “If more people came, they would really enjoy it.”

The advertising for the style show was on the mar-quee in front of the school, and the girls advertised as they sold tickets. The girls’ families also came out to support them in the style show.

The catwalk was the new addition to the Highline style show this year. It was pur-chased by the Drama Club,

Theatre Performance Team, and the Highline.

The catwalk was decorat-ed by the Highline for the show with the help of some parents.

Parents are the main guests in attendance on the night of the style show. Whether they are helping the girls get dressed or snap-ping pictures nonstop, the parents are 100 percent sup-portive.

Peyton Comeaux’s mother reached out her helping hand in food preparations as the guests came back to the table for more hors d’oeurves.

The 2013 homecoming court nomination process was determined by teach-er recommendations in-stead of the normal write-in ballot.

A group of students were “concerned about the way home-coming court was select-ed,” Assistant P r i n c i p a l Marie Eakin said. Many girls also ap-proached Stu-dent Council adviser Mar-tha Goza about reforming the homecoming ballot se-lection process.

The original way of se-lecting the homecoming court was described as a “popularity” contest by students, said student council president Shel-by Paine. She believes the new changes are now about who is a better ex-ample for the school.

“I think we’ll have girls who truly love their school and have established themselves,” Paine said. The criterion will be ben-eficial.”

The recently announced homecoming queen, Mi-chael Anne Mandina, said the new changes give “people who wouldn’t usu-ally get court” a chance. “I think it’s a lot more fair,” Mandina said.

“I was shocked, hon-

ored and excited,” Mandi-na said. However, when asked if she thought the changes affected her win-ning the votes for home-coming queen, Michael Anne said simply, “no.”

In the selection this year, teachers were able to choose the students

they thought would be a good repre-sentation for homecoming court. In this process, if a girl was nom-inated by three or more teachers, her

name was automatically put on the ballot. Teach-ers were instructed to choose five students who they thought would best represent the GATOR2 acronym.

The teachers also seemed to have accepted the changes. Paine said the only negative criticism the teachers gave was that they “wished they had their grade books in front of them.”

In previous years, en-tire classrooms have pro-duced the same girl’s name on ballots with sim-ilar handwriting on every ballot.

“I think this will guar-antee the court is a group of girls who will have a positive impact on the school,” Paine said. She congratulates the girls who received this honor.

Hey Gators,

Can you believe it’s already November? This year has gone by so fast! On Oct. 16, Student Council hosted Gator Hype Night, an extremely successful fundraiser and spirit raiser. Our football boys and those who at-tended danced and went crazy with their glow sticks. It was a ton of fun.

Also, Student Council has col-lected school supplies for students at underprivileged schools. We col-lected three huge boxes of markers, construction paper, crayons and other items for those students!

Our “Heart Attack” target for this month was Dr. McCalla, in honor of Principal Appreciation Month. We covered her office in hearts early one morning, and when she arrived at school she was beyond surprised.

This Friday, Nov. 8, at 6:45 p.m., Student

Council and the Color Guard will be perform-ing a flag ceremony in honor of Veteran’s Day. This is a ceremony to show our veterans how much we appreciate their service to our awesome country. We’ve sent out invites to Barksdale and local American Legion posts. However, if anyone in your family has served

or is currently serving in our mil-itary, please come out on Friday night. Our goal is to take a few unbothered moments to appreciate all of the sacrifices made for our nation.

Of course, Saturday night is the homecoming dance! Student Coun-cil is in charge of decorating the caf-eteria beautifully for all the guests.

We hope you enjoy our jungle safari theme and go wild for the night! You guys rock.

Shelby Elise PaineStudent Council President

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.”

These simple words were weaved together by Francis Bellamy to provide a simple way to express one’s loyalty to America. In every single classroom in America, we as a na-tion stand together and recite the small portion of text. This incredible honor is a privilege to each and every citizen of the great nation of America. The mere fact that every American has the freedom to stand for the pledge speaks for itself. The small, yet effective paragraph of text holds centuries of wis-dom and forethought for today’s America and those who are able to stand in respect for the flag. Why should any citizen, young, old or in between, refuse to simply stand and recite these hallowed words?

“I am too tired.” “It is too early in the morning.”Was it too early in the morning to get on the plane for

Afghanistan, suitcase in tow and wife and children waving goodbye with an uncertain future looming in the midst?

“God shouldn’t be a part of the pledge.”America was founded on many things – God and freedom

included. However, saying the pledge is an integral part of being an American citizen. By not standing, God is not the only belief that is deleted. Why sacrifice an entire privilege simply because one belief did not suit a personality?

There should be no reason or excuse to opt out of saying the pledge. Generations of soldiers have fought on land, on sea and in the air to ensure the safety of every person resid-ing in the borders of the land of the free. Men and women are welcomed back in the arms of lady liberty, bruised and beaten, waiting for another call that they must take up the sword and once again defend us, the civilians, in battle. Ev-ery day, these men and women – these humble heroes – stand and salute the colors with pride, respect, love and honor. We owe it to them. We owe it to our forefathers. We owe it to our nation. We owe it to ourselves to take the same actions when saying the pledge.

Why should the veteran and the soldier be overlooked be-cause a student was tired or stubborn? Why should the man in the wheelchair that saw horrific combat be forced to honor his country in a seated position because his sacrifice cost him his legs? Why should the woman who lost her husband be forced to say the pledge through tears? Why should the little boy who misses his father be forced to watch his classmates sit idly in their chairs while he proudly says the pledge?

Student Council integrating new ideas in many areas

Cutting in the lunch lineHave you ever wanted food so badly that

you rushed down to the lunch room to avoid the never-ending lunch line only to be greet-ed with the faces of countless other students attempting to do the same thing as you? Have you ever gotten to the lunch room just a few seconds late be-cause you’re on the third floor and have to stand in the line until five minutes are left to eat?

Everyone here at the Swamp is tired of standing in the lunch line for what seems like hours. What is the culprit for all of this? It’s cut-ting in line. We’ve all seen it before: Someone is standing in line mind-ing his own business, and a group of five peo-ple nudge their way in front of the person.

When will the cutting in line ever come to an end? Perhaps action from the teachers should be taken. I suggest that the teachers

assigned to watch the lunch room should stand where the lines are in the lunch room to check for any cutters, at least until the line dies down. With this system in place, stu-dents can safely get their food in an orderly

fashion, which will drastically re-duce the amount of time that some students have to stand in line be-cause 5 minutes is not nearly long enough to eat all the food that we’re supposed to be eating.

During lunchtime, every student wants a fair chance to enjoy their food. We’re supposed to get a main course, milk and two sides every day. However, some students are

only able to get half of their food eaten, or maybe less. Students, it’s up to us to better ourselves and stop cutting in line. Facul-ty, it’s up to you to enforce the rules during lunch time.

Congress and President Obama could not agree on a spending bill recently, which caused a temporary govern-ment shutdown Oct. 1-17.

Since 1977 there have been 17 shutdowns, accord-ing to the Congressional re-search service.

The Republican part of the House passed a spending bill that did not provide funding to start the Affordable Care Act – otherwise known as Obamacare. The Democratic Party wanted the program fully funded.

“Obamacare was already approved,” sophomore Jack Hires said. “They were just trying to fight something that wouldn’t have worked anyway.”

National parks and pop-ular history museums were closed and no visitation was allowed at the capitol or

monuments. Checking le-gal work for employees and getting small business loans were no longer valid.

Transportation along with visiting the DMV continued to stay open. The active mili-tary still got paid along with law enforcement agencies.

Getting financial aid and student loans could be de-layed with an extended shut-down in the future.

“Without financial aid or student loans I would have a very hard time paying for college and will be waist deep in debt,” senior Taylor Andrews said.

The JROTC adventure team was unable to go rap-pelling on Oct. 12 due to the government shutdown. Camp Minden is run by the National Guard base, and they were not drilling, which means no one would have been on post to support JROTC.

“It’s a slim down not a shutdown,” Colonel David McGee said. “About 80 per-cent of the government is still getting paid. So it’s not a real shutdown.”

On Oct. 5 a bill was passed that will give furloughed fed-

eral workers back pay once the shutdown is over.

Senator Susan Collins proposed to lift the debt ceil-ing and end the shutdown. Democrats in the Senate re-jected this proposal because it would have put sequestra-

tion budget cuts into law for the next six months.

In the final hours before the government would have run out of money, the House and Senate agreed on a tem-porary spending bill and in-crease in the debt limit.

On Wednesday, Oct. 9, Fellow-ship of Christian Athletes held their annual Fields of Faith, which is an inspiring, fun filled, and student ori-ented event at Lee Hedges Stadium.

Many Captain Shreve students, athletes, teachers and other schools rallied up to talk and learn more about the Christian faith, pray with each other, and have a fun time while doing physical activities on the field.

“Trusting God through every year of high school, keeping your faith in God through whatever you go through, and just knowing that there is a method and reason for ev-erything that God has brought will bring you through,” senior Peyton Comeaux said.

There were four people who spoke at Fields of Faith, who included Sarah Partain, David Greco, Trey Freeman,

as well as Chaplain of FCA, Peyton Comeaux. Each speaker encouraged the students to discuss their jour-ney in life and to better their faith in Christianity.

“Fields of Faith was very inspiring to the point where I was crying,” se-nior Kayla Kendrick said. “They just really made me have a different out-look on life, but besides it being very inspirational, it was so much fun, es-pecially competing against Byrd and the other schools. I definitely want to do that again.”

Fields of Faith was intended for many students to take their faith more seriously and to have a posi-tive view on life as they try to reach their goals. Most of the people who attended were very touched by what they had learned about Christianity. Overall, Fields of Faith impacted a lot of students and strengthened the bonds of friendship.

Recent studies by the Irish Nu-trition + Dietetic Institute suggest that coffee has positive effects on mood and performance with min-imal side effects.

A poll conducted by The Enter-prise suggests that three out of seven students at Captain Shreve drink coffee two or more times a week.

“Coffee helps me in school by keeping me awake,” junior Made-leine Hollis – an avid coffee enthu-siast – said.

The main component in coffee that causes energy and an in-crease in performance is caffeine.

Caffeine is a chemical found naturally in several plant foods as well as naturally and artificially added in several drinks.

Caffeine is habit-forming but is only rated as the second least ad-dictive substance, with the least addictive being marijuana.

“I drink coffee twice a day: one in the morning and one after school from Panera Bread,” senior Shelby Paine said. “The cup after

school improves my energy to get homework and chores done and as far as my mood, I’m only a morn-ing person after my coffee.”

Coffee and other caffeinated products should be limited to 200 to 300 mg per day according to MayoClinic.com, which averages to about two to four cups of coffee a day.

An excess of caffeine, such as 500 to 600 mg, can result in ad-verse effects.

The INDI lists side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, rest-lessness, irritability, upset stom-ach, fast heartbeat and muscle tremors.

However, everyone is affected by caffeine differently, and some are more sensitive than others.

Just a little bit of caffeine – such as one cup of coffee – can make a person sensitive to caffeine expe-rience adverse effects.

Tolerance to caffeine builds up the more a person consumes, so it is not recommended to consume caffeine every single day.

Breaks should be taken every so often.

The Volunteers for Youth Justice is offering Teen Court: a program for teens who have committed a first-of-fense misdemeanor to provide them a chance to accept accountability for their actions and submit to the sen-tencing decisions of their own peer group.

“The students work together to help their peers. It’s priceless,” Youth and Government supervisor Nicole Vasquez said. Students can serve as a bailiff, clerk, defense at-torney, prosecuting attorney or ju-ror.

Volunteering for Teen Court pro-vides community service hours for participation.

“I can get service hours, and it provides real experience in law. It can teach Captain Shreve students

things that TV shows and books can’t,” senior Allison Waddell said.

As well as being a deciding factor for some students interested in going to law school for college, Teen Court provides just as many benefits for the offenders.

“Teen court is good for kids who rarely get in trouble. It shows them just what could happen and scares them away from wanting to repeat the offense,” senior Amelia Fertitta said. “It gives you a real life experi-ence. It’s not like Law & Order.”

Offenders who participate in the Teen Court program have their case recommended to be dropped, and 95 percent of participants receive no more court involvement.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity be-cause everybody makes a mistake here and there,” Vasquez said. “It’s nice to get a second chance.”

Captain Shreve started the year with a tournament at Caddo Magnet High on Oct. 26.

Quiz Bowl is a game of questions and answers cov-ering topics such as history, literature and science.

The Captain Shreve Quiz Bowl team generally consists of four or five people. More people are available but only four are allowed on a team at a time.

Each team member has a buzzer that they activate when they are ready to an-swer a question.

Quiz bowl tournaments contain several types of rounds.

The first type of round is the toss-up round. In this round the test moderator reads questions individually, and the first person to buzz in must wait to be called on. If the first person to hit the buzzer answers the ques-tion incorrectly, then the first person to buzz in on the other team may answer. Each question is normally allowed 10-15 seconds to be answered. Every correct an-swer earns 10 points.

The next round is the lightning round. The team with the lowest point count goes first. Each question is read one at a time. Teams may consult with each oth-er about the question, but only the captain may give the final answer. Teams may

“pass” in order to go on to the next question.

Correct answers are 5 points.

After 60 seconds the time-keeper calls time and the other team has 60 seconds to answer any questions that were missed, passed or not yet given. These are known as “rebuttal” answers. The second team then starts the next set of questions and the first team is given the chance to provide “rebuttal” answers.

The next round is the worksheet round. Each team receives 2 copies of a work-sheet that are placed face down on their table. Teams may not start until instruct-ed to do so by the moderator. After 2 minutes the round is over. The teams give their papers to the grader, and

each correct answer is worth 10 points.

The final round is the toss-up bonus round. This round is very similar to the toss-up round except that af-ter a correct answer teams are given 3 bonus questions, each worth 10 points, and 20 seconds to answer. Any bonus items that are missed are given to the other team, which must answer immedi-ately. Only the captain may answer questions in this round.

The team with the most points at the end of all four rounds wins.

Quiz Bowl is open to join at any time during the school year, and there are no pre-requisites. If students have any questions, they may talk to team captains Windy Steele or Camden Clark.

Five Finger Death Punch, a metal band, performed at the Century-Link Center on Oct. 17. The opening show was Gemini Syndrome, followed by Miss May I. Another group, Escape the Fate, was on to perform but dropped out at the last minute because of family is-sues. Gemini Syndrome and Miss May I had beautiful sound quality along with onstage performance. None of the performers were just standing still. They were get-ting involved with the music. A lot of people were in attendance for the concert. I knew that the whole floor

was going to be filled up, but I was shocked by how many people also filled up the stands. No matter where you were in the stands or even out in the hall, you could definitely hear the lively music. They were even selling earplugs at the t-shirt stand. The thing I liked the most about the set was the light-ing. The lights were inside gold boxes along with posters above them. Five Finger Death Punch played their two most popu-lar songs, which were “Bad Company” and “Lift Me Up,” following the song “Battle Born” on their new album. The show was very good. I enjoyed it a lot. It was one of the best concerts I have been to in a long time. All of it was

flawless. There was a lot of crowd surfing. Almost all of the people on the floor were get-ting involved.I liked all the participation in the mosh-pits and head banging groups. All the bands threw out water bottles and other items to the crowd. Seeing how they interacted with the audience was awesome. “It sounded like I was lis-tening to their CD. I hope all of them come back to the CenturyLink so I can see them in concert again,” Spradly said. “I give all the bands a hand for how good they sounded live.” I’m looking forward to their next tour so I can see them do another amazing performance again.

For the third time in his career, Drake has pro-duced a truly amazing al-bum. “Nothing Was The Same” was released Sept. 24. This album has be-come my favorite album by Drake. He did not include a lot of features with oth-er artists, so the album is all him and what he feels. “Nothing Was The Same” has a few upbeat and par-ty songs, while it also has some slow and thoughtful songs that make you feel a certain type of way. Whenever Drake releas-es something new, I com-pare it to his old music and see how far he has come and how his music has changed. My favorite song from “Nothing Was The Same” is called “Connect.” It is a love song in a rap sense. Drake talks about a girl who appears to be wild, reckless and does not take his feelings into con-sideration. I like the song because I feel like I can relate. When I first heard one song from “Nothing Was The Same,” I instant-

ly noticed Drake’s level of maturity. He is growing from the heartbreak and pain that he excessively expressed in his previous album, “Take Care.” “Take Care” was more of a sensitive album filled with his emotions, whereas “Nothing Was The Same” is more of a carefree al-bum. It still holds some of those emotional lyrics that reveals Drake’s sensitive side. This is also why I like Drake’s music so much. He puts feeling into his music, and the lyrics hold deeper meaning than the obvious. As I listen to songs from “Nothing Was The Same,” I listen to the words and try to come up with a rea-son for Drake putting them into his songs. Everything Drake says has a meaning, and I want to know what it is. I would instantly rec-ommend “Nothing Was The Same” to anyone that enjoys listening to music. “Nothing Was The Same” has songs that everyone can relate to. Once you find a song on the album that appeals to you, then you will become a strong Drake fan just as I have.

Andrew Doughty is the primary kicker for the Cap-tain Shreve Gators football team.

Doughty was recruited to play football from his fresh-man gym class. When he went out on the field, the coaches saw that he had the potential to become a very talented kicker. Andrew then accepted the position because he thought that it would be “something new and fun to do.”

Up to this point, the lon-gest field goal Andrew has ever made has been 44 yards.

Andrew considers himself to be an easygoing student who enjoys math and dislikes English.

Along with football An-drew also plays soccer for Captain Shreve. Andrew has been on the varsity soc-cer team for the past sever-al years and is confident in his ability to remain on the team.

“We [soccer] have a good chance of winning district and will probably advance further in the state champi-onship than last year.” An-

drew enjoys soccer for many reasons, but his favorite is that soccer is “continuous and there is always some-thing moving.”

One event that has great-ly shaped his life was the removal of his appendix sev-eral years ago. Andrew said the removal and subsequent recovery caused him to lose most of the muscle in his legs. Due to this he could no longer get by on talent alone but instead had to work hard to return to the level that he was at before the surgery.

“The surgery taught me how to work hard,” Andrew said “This has helped a lot in my school work and on the field.”

After high school Andrew plans to go to Louisiana Tech to study engineering and walk on to the Bulldogs foot-ball team.

Some advice that he of-fers for underclassmen is to work hard, stay humble and do what is right for you even though it may not be the thing that everyone else would want you to do.

Student Council hosted Gator Hype Night on Oct. 16 to pep students up for the Byrd vs. Shreve foot-ball game.

Gator Hype Night is a dance that took place in-stead of the Sadie Haw-kins dance because Sadie’s was no longer making any money.

Only Captain Shreve students were allowed to attend the dance, and each student could only buy one wrist band. Glow sticks and neon colors were encouraged.

Getting people pumped up for the big game with a pep rally has been suc-cessful in he past, but Shreve went all out with a dance.

Some people will miss having the Sadie Hawkins dance.

“Going in groups to Sadies and dressing the

same was always fun,” ju-nior Madison Seward said.

Many people said it was fun and they can’t wait until next year to be able to wear all sorts of glow sticks and dance again.

“There wasn’t that much dubstep played,” sophomore Sarah Murphy said. “They played about two dubstep songs. It was focused more around rap, which is what provoked inappropriate dancing, causing the dance to be shut down thirty minutes early. I still had a really good time, though.”

With all the students who attended, half of the cafeteria was filled up. At one point, there was a big group of students chant-ing spirited anti-Byrd slo-gans.

Captain Shreve made over $500 in profit. Stu-dent Council is looking forward to next year’s Ga-tor Hype Night dance.

Captain Shreve’s swim team is excited about this particular year because they have three state qualifiers: senior Grant Dixon, senior Paityn Glass, and sophomore Denver Dixon, who will be competing at state on Nov. 22 and 23.

“It’s really been a great year,” senior Paityn Glass said. “Everybody on the team has been working real-ly hard. Since we have three people who will be competing at state, I think this is one of the best years of swim we’ve ever had.”

Other members on the team include Bryan Lee, Mackenzie Boucher, Lucy Rauth, Rocio Velle-gas-Archenco, Haley Thomp-son, Leighton Bond and Ma-

rie Martin.“This year is going good,”

Senior Marie Martin said. “Even though we made it to state, we could still work on some things.”

There were eight swim-mers who attended the meet on Oct. 29 in Ruston at Loui-siana Tech.

For the boys in the 100 backstroke, Denver Dixon placed 5th and Grant Dixon placed 6th.

For the girls in the 100 backstroke, Paityn Glass placed 5th.

This year showed that the swim team made a lot of im-provements as well as having multiple members qualifying for state.

“Well, we have three state qualifiers, so I would say that this year is going great so far,” Coach Kelly Dixon said.
