The CHS One- Act play cast placed third in the District 16-3A UIL competition held here

on April 2. They were recognized by the judge as the alternate play for the Area Contest. “This was my first year to be part of the One-Act play in high school,” freshman Kelsey Digilarmo said. “It was absolutely a great experience.” The play, “Dark of the Moon,” was about a witch boy who falls in love with a human girl. Their cast included 15 actors, five technicians and four understudies. “All of the students worked hard toward the goal of telling a wonderful story and entertaining the audience,” drama teacher Kim Funderburk said. “I loved the story and working with this awesome group of performers!”Each cast member practiced their lines for weeks to perfect

their role. Students practiced hard and persevered, even when they were tired. Despite all the difficult practices and long hours, the actors still found it to be a rewarding experience. “It’s really fun and exciting,” senior Zach Barlow said. “But the pressure can also be nerve racking,”Though the students did

not advance to the Area competition as they had hoped, the play was still a successful learning experience and was enjoyed by many. The final performance of “Dark of the Moon” was held April 17, but DVDs of the performance may be purchased from the CHS-TV program for $15.

Four students will advance to the UIL academic state competition

from May 7-9. They will compete in computer applications and news, feature and editorial writing. “I feel great and excited about the upcoming state competition,” UIL coordinator Kim Funderburk said. “I know that the CHS students will think smart and represent the school well.” The one-act play cast presented Dark of the Moon, and was the district’s alternate for Area. Seniors Emily Collingsworth and Payton Peace were All-Star Cast members, seniors Sean Finley and David Patterson were selected for Honorable-Mention, and senior Courtney Stacy received Technical Crew Honorable Mention. “We had an excellent performance,” Patterson said. “Everybody did great, but Gilmer did better. It was

disappointing that it was one of our last performances before graduation. Senior Jessica Solis place third in the regional computer applications contest. In this contest, a person works with spreadsheets and database, so that charts, graphs, and reports are created. “Each test is different and it’s a new experience,” Solis said. “I like my contest because it is about material that you really need to know. I try to keep a positive attitude and I will try to do my best.”The journalism team placed second at the regional competition. Senior Payton Peace will participate in feature writing and senior Courtney Stacy will compete in editorial writing. This will be sophomore

Erin Donald’s first year to participate in journalism at the state level and she will compete in news and editorial writing. “Since the beginning of the year, I have learned how to make my writing stronger and to make fewer mistakes that cause me to be marked down,” Donald said. “I will try to [avoid] distractions and eat my lucky cookies that keep me focused. I’m very ready for state and I hope I do alright because it would make my year feel complete.”

One-Act play members perform during a scene in “Dark of the Moon.” Though the play did not advance, many cast members received individual awards given by the judge.

Twenty-one CHS students qualified for the regional UIL competition held at Texas A&M Com-merce. The students advanced after competing in a tough district competition at Letournea University.

On April 26-29 students will be taking the math, science, and social studies

TAKS tests. The freshman will be taking the math TAKS test on Thursday, April 28. The sophomores will the taking the math TAKS test on Tuesday, April 26, the science TAKS test on Thursday, April 28, and the social studies TAKS test on Friday, April 29. The Juniors will be taking the math TAKS test on Wednesday, April 27,and the science on Thursday, April 28.“The TAKS tests are really important to me,” junior Sheila Williams said. “This is my last year to take the TAKS, so I know that I have to do well. I hope to get a good score; I don’t want to have to re-take any of the tests.” Students and teachers throughout the school have been working hard to prepare for the TAKS test. Tutorial sessions have been provided before and after school to help students with their troubled subjects. “My advice to students is to review the information they have been provided,” science teacher Schelice Reyes said. “They should attend tutorial sessions, put in 110% effort, and believe that they will pass and be successful.” Reyes, who teaches Biology and Pre-AP Biology, has been working with her students

over the past few months to prepare them for their tests. “We conducted a department meeting with our department head, Nola Manis,” Reyes said. “We worked together to create a game plan for TAKS Blitz, which has been held prior to testing and will continue through the week of the TAKS.” The science department hopes that at least 25% of the sophomores and juniors will receive a Commended score and their goal is a 92% pass rate. “I have been working really hard in all of my classes,” freshman Tanner O’Dell said. “I know the TAKS is very important. I think I will do best on the English test, but I hope that I do well on all of them.” “I have studied hard in all of my classes to prepare for the TAKS test and I think I will do best on my math TAKS test because I am stronger in that subject,” Williams said. TAKS is a very important test for the students to pass to advance onto the next grade level. These students have been working hard all throughout the year to pass these tests and will continue to work through the rest of the year to prepare for the next grade. “In the past students have always performed well on the social studies TAKS test and hopefully will again this year,” social studies teacher Steve Garrett said.

Teachers, students prepare as state testing approachesta k S

Ad v a n c e d Placement tests are coming up and teachers and students are in

full swing preparing for the challenge that lies ahead. “I want all of my students to pass,” Melanie Hudson, AP English 3 teacher said. “It is highly important to me.” National testing begins May 2, Monday through Friday, and will continue through May 13. Late tests due to extracurricular or personal reasons are available. “We’ve been covering AP topics throughout the year,” AP Chemistry teacher Phillip Walker said. “Students have also taken practice exams.” Common test that will be taken at CHS are Chemistry, Calculus, English Literature and Composition, Biology, English Language and Composition, Macroeconomics, World History, Statistics, and Spanish. Resources for students to prepare for the test are plentiful. “I chose a textbook that includes a section specifically devoted to preparing the

students for the test,” Hudson Said. “All of our classroom activities since the beginning of the school year have been chosen to practice skills related to the test.” Other resources for students is Shmoop.com. Shmoop is an on line test prep website that offers help in many areas that are tested. Test prep books are also available on line and at bookstores. “Some of my students have been successful every year for the 4 years that I have taught the class,” Hudson said. “10 of my students last year passed the test.” Many teachers will offer tutorials in the weeks leading up to their respective AP tests. Though Walker is working rigorously to prepare his students for the AP test, Walker has some different advice for students actually planning to further study chemistry. “I’d like to see them do well on it,” Walker said. “If they are pursuing a chemistry degree in college, I think its much more important for them to take the course in college.”

4 Richter goes to India

Have you ever made a list of things you want to do before it’s too late? Heard

someone say, “I always wanted to do that or go there, but I never go the chance?” I don’t ever want such regrets, so I make a list and when I accomplish something listed, I cross it off the list. This spring break I was able to cross off one more trip :a trip to India to see the Taj Mahal, Hindu temples, and the other famous Hindu and Mogul forts and palaces. I even rode an elephant!I taught world geography for many years and each time we studied India and the Taj Mahal, I became more certain that this was one of my “to do” things. So I met up with a tour group in NYC and off we went on a 14 hour flight to India’s capital, New Delhi. I travelled over 17,000 miles in 9 days!In March, the temperature had already climbed to over 100 degrees. While it was sometimes uncomfortable, the sites we visited were always worth it; especially the Taj Mahal and the gorgeous Hindu temples. The beauty and magnificence of the building Sha

Jahan built to house the body of his favorite wife can’t be described, nor can the Hindu temples filled with icons and semi-producing jewels.India has some of the finest marble quarries in the world, mines producing semi- precious jewels, and beautiful carpet factories where all the carpets are hand-made. We spent time watching some of the artisans grinding stones and weaving silk carpets. For all their hard work and difficult working conditions, the actual workers earn between 50-90 U.S. dollars a month, but the results of their work bring the business owners thousands of dollars.Traveling in India is a nerve racking experience. Everywhere we traveled, there were camel drivers, water buffalo pulled carts, people pulled rickshaws, the constant beeping of horns as buses, motorcycles, cars, and cattle negotiated the single lane roads and not one accident occurred. It wasn’t uncommon to see drivers driving the wrong way on the highways or stopping in the middle of the lane. It seemed like everyone took bad driving habits in stride. Our bus driver even stopped in the middle of a busy highway to feed monkeys on the side of the road so that we could take pictures.

In a country of over 1.2 billion people, you can imagine that conditions aren’t as good as we have in the thousands of people who exist on about 50 rupies a day (US equivalent of about $1.00) for a family and live in dung huts, straw huts, or tarps pulled over sticks. Yet the people seem happy.While the literacy rate is about 80% in the big cities, in the countryside it is only about 25-30%. Rural villages rarely educate the children and they often seen playing cricket, working in the wheat fields, or herding goats or cattle from place to place to graze.My passion is traveling and I have

now visited 19 countries. It is truly amazing to interact with people whose cultures are so radically different from ours. It gives a whole new perspective on life. I always come home thankful for the privilege of living in the United States.I am now looking for the next place to visit. Japan definitely won’t be on the list! I’m thinking maybe

Australia or Patagonia in South America. We’ll see. My hope is to visit all seven continents and truly travel around

the world before age or ill-health no longer allows me to travel. I hope that’s years and years off because there’s so much left to experience!

Ten students will compete from May 28-30 in the UIL State vocal solo and ensemble contest.

On Jan. 29, students qualified at Whitehouse, earning 20 superior medals overall. “I’m so excited about going for both my solo and ensemble mainly because we are the first group that our choir has taken in a while and I expect to do great,” sophomore Phillip Burns said. “I was ecstatic and proud of my fellow choir members and myself because we work so hard and it’s paying off.”The treble choir won sweepstakes at the UIL Large Ensemble Festival on Mar. 31 because they earning straight 1s, the highest score in the contest, both on stage and in sight reading.

“We sounded really good the previous time we practiced,” senior Kady Armstrong said. “However, I don’t believe we are ready yet for the competition.”Choir director Sandra Bauer helps her students by giving advice and feedback to them. They were able

Some CHS science teachers haven been tapped to teach certain

science courses at Panola college. Teachers Matt Glass, Schelice Reyes, and Mary Smith are newly selected college professors. “They [Panola] sent me an email,” Integrated Physics and Chemistry teacher Matt Glass said.” “I replied and they said that I was hired.” Chemistry teacher Mary Smith, who has already started teaching an Anatomy and Physiology lab this semester, will be teaching a chemistry lab in the summer, and a A&P and Chemistry Lab in the fall. “If anything, this will help me in the classroom at the high school to get my kids better prepared for college,” Smith said. AP Biology teacher Schelice Reyes will be teaching the summer I session and possibly the summer

to win a national contest over other singing groups and performed at Disney World. “The students have an excellent work ethic, are talented, and take pride in what they do,” Bauer said. “I tell them to shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you are still among the stars, which is still a great place to be. Together we strive for excellence.”Seniors Kady Armstrong and Payton Peace and sophomore Phillip Burns qualified at both the ensemble and solo events at the state level. This means that they will compete alone for the solo contest. During the ensemble, they will sing without music or a capella, in a group of three or four singers.“Mrs. Bauer takes so much time to work with us and give us feedback on what we sing,” senior Payton Peace said. “My voice has gotten stronger and I’ve also become better at sight reading. It’s fun to show people that you can go to state in something other than sports.”

II session. She will be teaching Anatomy and Physiolgy and will also do labs during the second summer session. Reyes has also been selected to be the dual credit Anatomy and Physiology professor for the 2011-2012 School year. “I’m very excited,” Reyes said. “This gives me a chance to affect the lives of my students, and to expand my goals and my love for the field of biology.” Glass will also be teaching A&P during the first summer sessions and will participate in lab instruction during the second summer session. Glass is honored that he and his collegues were selected to participate in professorships. “It is a good experience to bring back to the high school,” Glass said. “We will be able to educate our students about the realities of college.”

SPOTLIGHT

How long have you been running track?

7 years

Who inspired you to run: My junior high coaches

Who is your favorite track athlete:

Marian Jones

What do you do to warm up before a track meet?

Stretches

Do you see track in your future? I have enjoyed being

in track in high school, but no, I probably won’t do it in the

future.

What is the hardest pat about running track?

The hardest thing, for me, about track is trying to make

the time.

What do you say to the underclassmen that are

struggling? They should always keeping

going, and always push themselves. Never give up, no

matter what.

The boys’ and girls’ track teams recently competed at the District 16-3A track meet, held at Carthage Bulldog Stadium on April 13-14. Of the many competitors, eight boys and three girls advanced to the Regional Meet, which will be held May 2-3 in Commerce. “We hope that many of our athletes will advance to State,” coach Peggy Stapleton said.Stapleton, who has been assisting Coach Horton in track for eight years now, is works with her athletes daily for conditioning and to improve their scores. “I think the girls have gotten better,” Stapleton said. “I am proud of the progress they have made this year.” The coaches and athletes have attended over ten track meets this season, preparing themselves for the UIL competitions. Freshman Tanner O’Dell has enjoyed participating in the sport this year. “Track makes me feel good and refreshed,” O’Dell said. “I feel good about myself when I when a race.” O’Dell did not place at the district meet. “My goal for this season was to place in the district track meet,” Tanner said. “I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to achieve that goal.” Though O’Dell loves to run, he also believes that there are certain drawbacks to the sport. “I love to run to relieve stress,” Tanner said. “But

sometimes the weather is bad so it’s hard to push myself like I want to.” Now that the season is coming to an end, O’Dell and other students are looking back to improve themselves for next year. “I think that I’ve done really well for starting out so late in the season,” O’Dell said. “If I could change anything about track, I wish that the whole team really cared about it instead of doing it because it is the only sport going on.” Sophomore Kaytee Hutto has also enjoyed this season of track. “I was interested in track because I love to run and it keeps me in shape,” Kaytee Hutto said. “ T h i s season my goal was to run the two mile in a good time.” Just like O’Dell, Hutto also has some likes and dislikes about track. She likes that she stays in shape and she doesn’t like all the workouts or the after school practices. “This season I liked that I was able to stay in shape, but I disliked all the workouts and after-school practices.” Overall, Hutto believes that this year’s track team saw a successful team and hopes that the remaining competitors are able to advance to the state level. “This season is going well and I’m proud of all the people that are trying their best,” Hutto said. “They are really working hard and I hope they do well.”

Freshman

I would want Queen Latifah to play me. She’s very talented and funny, plus she is a popular actress. Gabby Sapp

Penelope Cruz because she has played in movies with Matthew McConaughey and she is smokin’ hot, just like me.

Michelle Jones

Frank Sinatra because he is a well known leading man with a powerful screen performance and sheer character. I like to think that I switch easily from funny to serious with a touch of unpredictability.

Stuart Stanley

I would like for Taraji P Henson to play my part because she’s a very talented actress, her personality is similar to mine, plus she is very pretty.

Joyce McClure

Charlie Sheen because he’s always winning!

Mitch Davis

Chuck Norris, because we look and act almost exactly the same. Calm, cool and collected 24/7. Plus we have the full beard in common.

Will Harris

Steven Seagal would be honored to play me in a movie because he is a naturally born monster, like myself.

Austin Williford

Kyla Pratt, because she always has alot of energy and is very funny. When she played on the series “One on One,” we were a lot alike in teenage ways. She’s also pretty. Cierra Graves

I would definitely allow it to be Tom Cruise because he is very popular and a very good actor. It would make a good name for myself.

Blake Bogenschutz

I would want Reese Witherspoon to play me because she is blonde like I am, and because Sweet Home Alabama is my favorite movie.

Libya: Bad policy or perfect politics?

The recent decision by the United Nations to attack and enforce a no-fly zone over Libya is a

policy decision that does little to adhere to the objective of the resolution adopted by the U.N. Security Council. Resolution 1973 explicitly states that the international community can “take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack” from the Libyan government ruled by Muammar al-Gadhafi. Though the creation of the no- fly zone sends a strong message to the ruthless Gadhafi regime that the international community will not stand by and watch him commit crimes against his own people, this tactic alone will

not overthrow his dictatorship or lead the citizens of Libya toward a democratic life. The international community, particularly the United States is, so far, not willing to do what it takes to take out Gadhafi. Gadhafi has been sent the message that he will not be able to commit an air assault on the people of his country, but his history shows that air assaults are not a common tactic of his regime. Instead, Gadhafi has reigned terror on the people of his country mainly by ground assaults. Enforcing the no-fly zone only puts a small dent in his tactics because his regime will continue to do the more common ground attacks and will strenghten them now that there is international involvement.

Due to the fact that an earlier Security Council decision, Resolution 1970, forbids the international community from arming the rebels who protest for democracy, the only way to liberate the people of Libya is for international armed forces to invade the country and counter the Libyan government via ground combat. This leaves the United States in a bind that President Obama clearly has not thought out. If the U.N. raised the mission to a level that would overthrow the Gadhafi regime, the U.S. would lead the war due to our military prowess being far more advanced than our allies in the mission. This would cause the U.S. to establish a long-term presence in Libya because it will

not know how to govern itself through the democratic system that its people are asking for. The problem is, it is not the job of the United States to govern Libya, or any other foreign state at that matter. But it will have to be our job if we resort to heavier military might in Libya in order to topple Gadhafi’s regime. We will do more harm with mediocre involvement than we will do with none at all. President Obama and the U.N. are caught between a rock and a hard place and need to decide whether or not they are willing to do what it takes to complete their mission and liberate Libya. Though it is not my place to give advice on what I think needs to be done, the international community to abide by one principle; go hard, or go home.
