Wy’east Catches Fire

Many students went to go see The Hun-

ger Games: Catching Fire movie. If you

haven’t seen it you should. It is AWE-

SOME!!!!!!! Over 130 students and par-

ents attended! Students could only attend

if they had read The Hunger Games and

Catching Fire. If you hadn’t seen the first

movie it was shown before the buses

came. The buses arrived at Wy’east and

took us to the movie theater at 5:15 PM.

People started buying snacks. In fact, so

many snacks were bought that the movie

theatre ran out of popcorn. Overall

Catching Fire was the best movie I have

ever seen!!!!!

SCHOOL EVENTS AND HOLIDAYS

Catching

Fire By: Raul Lica

Everybody read

the Hunger

Games. I hope you

enjoyed the book,

but the awesome

part about the book

is that you got to

see the movie. If

you wanted to see

the Hunger Games

movie you had to at

least have read the

book. In my opin-

ion, the books are

better than the mov-

ies because the

books have more

detail than the mov-

ies. The good thing

is that we are al-

lowed to buy things

in the theater. I

hope you enjoyed

the movie!

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, do you

like to eat or spend time

with your family? Well, I

think that the whole day is

great. Just eating Thanks-

giving food makes me

smile! On Thanksgiving,

when I walk around the

house the whole place is

filled! Everybody is always

stuffing their plates and

talking. Most of the time

they just talk about their

jobs, but I still just sit there

listening to their funny sto-

ries. After that my brother

laughs at me and says , “Go

eat” so I do. Last year my

uncles filled my sisters

Alex’s plate with pie!! It

was really funny because

they made her eat it. To me

Thanksgiving is just a great

day to eat and hang out with

family. What do you like to

do on Thanksgiving? Do

you have any plans this

year? I’m sure that it will

be good whatever you’re

doing. Have a great

Thanksgiving!!

Poster Contest Splash Into Science is coming

sold snacks at the basketball

games, and they are receiving

some of the money from the

dance. To help more students

get involved we are having a

poster contest to get the word

out. All the posters must be

school appropriate and have a

splash into science theme, you

can draw it on a piece of pa-

per . The posters must be

turned into Mrs. Arechaga by

the end of January. The win-

ning poster will receive a prize

Good luck and have fun mak-

ing your poster.

Food Drive Many schools around the

country have food drives for

their local food banks. Here at

Wy'east, we do them too. Food

drives are great to support

families in need. Canned foods

and packaged foods are need-

ed at food banks, so when kids

bring them in from home, it

really helps. Our food drive

was the 2nd- 19th of December,

and we got quite a few dona-

tions! The class with the most

food brought in was Arechaga

with 230 donations! 2nd place

was Pritchett with 160 dona-

tions. Finally, in 3rd place,

Sampson’s class brought in 88

donations. The school total for

cans was 1,111, and we raised

$150 off of money donations.

As you can see, food dona-

tions are very important, but if

you want to help even more,

you can go and volunteer at

the F.I.S.H. food bank and

serve food to the families.

OBOB

If you guys like reading books

and you can’t stop reading, then

you should join Oregon Battle Of

The Books. A short name for it

would be OBOB. OBOB is a

nice time to read really interest-

ing books. Also, it’s fun because

you can pass time reading and

discussing books with your

friends. These are some books of

the books that are in the OBOB:

Bigger Than a Bread Box by

Laurel Snyder, Magyk by Angie

Sage, Middle School: The Worst

Years Of My Life by James Pat-

terson. There are way more

books in the OBOB, but these are

the best. So if you like reading

you should join OBOB before

they stop letting people sign up.

The Snow is Here The snow is here! Winter is the second best

season of all four seasons. Of course summer is

the best because there is no school, but winter

is as good as summer. Snow is fun to play in. I

sometimes have snow ball fights with my little

brother. Other times, I’ll sled in my backyard. I

hardly make snowmen like other people do.

One year I made a snow fort with the roof and

everything. I hope there will be another ice

storm like last year. As you can see you can be

very artistic with snow.

By: Aidan Hicks

Snow Activities By: Raul Lica

There are fun games you can play in the snow.

Here are some ideas to have fun in the snow.

How to build a snow man. Get 3 balls of snow

and stack them together. Than you can make

his eyes and his mouth. Get a carrot and put it

on his nose. Then you can decorate the snow

man. It will look something like this.

Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandela was a South African

Politian who stood up for black rights

in Africa. He was the first black presi-

dent of South Africa in 1994 and

stepped down after 5 years. He’s also

won a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping

the apartheid in South Africa. Apart-

heid is a system where black South Af-

ricans don’t get the same rights as

white South Africans. They needed to

carry a pass to go anywhere and were-

n’t allowed to marry whites and if they

do they were beaten or killed. He

stopped it by getting other people to

debate against it. Before being the

first black president in South Africa he

was a boxer. He stopped boxing after

being in prison for 27 years for start-

ing a conspiracy and encouraging

South Africans to go on strike. He was

born on July 18 1918 and died on De-

cember 5 2013 at the age of 95.

Three Fantastic Pranks

Pranks are fun, but with broth-

ers and sisters it’s even better

because they make everyone

laugh. It’s just fun to pick on

them. One, if your brothers or

sisters are scared of spiders get

a pack of spiders and hide them

in his/her room or when he/she

are busy. Dump a ton on them to

freak them out. Two, talk to

your dad or big brother into

throwing him/her outside and

get a cup of water to dump on

him/her when he/she backs up

you close the door and repeat.

Three, if your mom or dad de-

cides to get a scary movie to

watch one night, get behind the

couch so when it gets to the part

where they play freaky music,

open the door, grab him/her, and

listen to the high pitch scream

they let it out.

Caution: When performing

these pranks beware, you are

poking the bear so that usually

means it won’t turn out well in

the end. So watch out and

HAVE FUN!!!

The Man eating sandwich V.S

A Giant Robot

One normal day, there was a scientist

that was making a sandwich. When it

was complete, he took a bite then he

put it down to savor the bite. Little did

he know that it would be his last. He

went to help somebody with cleaning

supplies, but as he got up he accidently

knocked over a chemical and it fell on

his sandwich. The sandwich turned into

a monster and ate everyone in the lab.

Soon it hit the city of Awesomeopolus.

The Sandwich grew wings so they cre-

ated giant robots to defeat it. The robot

was big and had lasers. When the robot

met the sandwich, they got in a big

fight. The robot and the sandwich de-

cided to stop fighting after a while, so

they went to get lunch ( they ate sand-wiches by the way). They saw a movie

that the robot enjoyed a lot called Pa-

cific Rim. They lived happily ever after.

(Even though the sandwich still is ad-dicted to humans.)

The Globe

Brie sat in class, staring at the

globe. She thought she saw it

twinkle and she was fascinated

with the country Cameroon. She

saw everything twinkle and mag-

ically appeared in the country

Cameroon. It was very sunny and

hot. She was sure she was in

Cameroon. It is near the Central

African Republic, close to the

equator. It was a desert with no-

body within a 90 mile radius. She

set out to find a way out. Soon it

was dark and freezing. She saw a

strange outline jumped toward

her. She batted it away but not

before it bit her leg. It was full of

venom! She died that night. She

thought she was in Heaven but

her eyes adjusted and she was in

the classroom. To this day she

doesn’t understand how it hap-

pened but she didn’t dare stare at

another globe again.

SPORTS

Playing All-Stars

Playing All-Stars is probably the best

thing that has ever happened to me.

Last year in All-Stars, I played in Bend

and I had a great time. All-Stars is a

baseball tournament. There are several

teams made up of good players from

Hood River, North Bend, South Bend,

The Dalles, Redmond, and Hermiston.

If your team lost two times it would be

eliminated from playing baseball

against the other teams, unless you

played a scrimmage game. My team

played Hermiston and won 16-4. The

next team we played was The Dalles

and we lost 7-11. The next time we won

4-3. Playing Redmond was very scary

because in the last inning, my team was

worn out. My coaches Sal Rivera, Dan

Homer, and Luis Jimenez chose a kid

named Nolan Ryan to pitch the last in-

ning. Nolan made two strikeouts and

the last out. The last out was made by a

bunt the batter on the other team. Nolan

ran up to the ball, picked it up, threw it

to first base and he was out. The whole

team was happy. Last we played South

Bend and sadly we lost 14-4. Some of

us didn’t go home just yet, because the

next day was the fourth of July. Instead,

we stayed and watched the fireworks

and had a good time.

By:Aidan Hicks

The Civil War In the first quarter, the Ducks made two

touchdowns and two field goals which

started off the game 17-0. In the second

quarter, the Beavers scored one touch-

down and one field goal which made it

17-7. In the same quarter, Beavers

made one touchdown and one field goal

making it 17-17. The Ducks scored 14

points and Beavers scored 3 making it

24-20. In the third quarter, Beavers

scored 3 more points making it 24-23.

In the same quarter, Beavers took the

lead with one touchdown making it 24-

29. In the final quarter Ducks took the

lead again making it 30-29. In the same

quarter, the Beavers and the Ducks

scored once making it 36-35. Clearly, it

was a great game.

How to Dress

So was up guys it’s

your girl, Eden, and today

I am going to teach you

how to dress - yah um

you.

Well rule 1: Work

with what you got. Rule

2: Match. Rule 3: Don’t

get fashion advice from

your parents which brings

me to Rule 4: Don’t let

your parents choose out

your clothes. BAD idea.

Okay ladies if you

got some black leggings,

match it with a bright col-

ored top and some cute

shoes that match your

shirt. Please don’t pair a

banana colored shirt and

some broccoli-colored

shoes, NOT cute.

Advice: obviously

match and if you’re wear-

ing dark bottoms don’t

wear a dark top because

you’ll look angry and de-

pressed. Don’t wear too

much of one color on the

same outfit. For example,

don’t wear a red tank-top

with some red top and red

skinny jeans. We know

colored jeans aren’t cool,

no matter how much you

claim you’re making a

fashion statement. It

doesn’t matter and please

don’t top it off with some

red shoes, because after

all of that you’re going to

look like a blown up red

balloon and so no Bue-

nos.

Now moving on to

what’s in style now, I'm

not saying to be basic and

look like you are copying

someone’s else’s style be-

cause fashion is all about

expressing yourself on

what you wearing. What’s

in style right now: this

winter, probably some

boots and a baggy sweat-

er or a cool blouse with a

scarf and some cute ac-

cessories like arm candy

and earrings or rings.

Take it from me,

fashion can get you a lot

in life. Like when your

older, a fashion career

gets you a decent guy

friend if you know what I

mean, or you can just

look plain amaze balls! If

you like this article, you

can maybe catch my next

one. It might be about

hair, shoes, or just swag

in general. Only you

know who says that word.

Anyway, adios.

Best Outfits of the Month

This month’s best outfits were worn by

Emily Curtis and Jaqui Marquez. Emi-

ly’s outfit is perfect for the winter. She’s

wearing a black skirt with a white crop

top. Over the crop top she is wearing a

black cardigan that covers her top. She is

also wearing black leggings under her

skirt. The best thing from her outfit is the

scarf because it is pink and orange and

really pops out from what she is wear-

ing. We interviewed Emily and asked

where she got her clothes from. Her car-

digan and combat boots are from Kohl’s,

her skirt is from Pacsun, her top is from

Charlotte Russe, her leggings are from

Maurice’s, her socks are from American

eagle, and her scarf is from Love Cul-

ture. Jaqui’s outfit is perfect for going

out on a chilly day for coffee. Her outfit

includes a maroon hoodie from Aero-

postale, and a her tribal print scarf is

from Charlotte Russe. Her jeans are

from Hollister and her boots are from a

local store.

These are the best outfits of the month

and remember if you see them in the

hallways congratulate them. If you want

to be the next outfit of the month make

sure to wear your favorite outfit and

show us!

Advice

“I do not know how to swim. What

do I do?”

Well one thing you could do is prac-

tice. Find your weak spot like kicking

or diving. Then pay attention to that.

Once you master it, do the same thing

until you cannot find any flaws. You

could also ask relatives for advice.

Sincerely, Angel 10 Page 15

Craneprairy

Craneprairy, a camp site,

is one of the best camp

sites there is. Its got many

fun things to do like rid-

ing bikes, swimming,

fishing, a horse shoe pit, a

swimming dock, and you

can rent a kayak for about

twenty dollars which is

pretty cheap. When it gets

dark, you can make a fire

in the fire pit and roast

marshmallows. As you

can see Craneprairy is an

awesome camp site.

PLACES TO VISIT

Silver Wood

Silver Wood is a place where kids and adults have

fun. Silver Wood is in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho,

about 80-90 miles away from Canada. Silver

Wood has a theme park and a water park. The first

park my family and I went to was the water park.

It had all kinds of obstacles to go on. The first ob-

stacle was a slide with water shooting out of the

sides. The slide was yellow and it had lots of

turns, and at the end there was a pool. Then we

went to the wave pool. It was so fun that I can’t

explain how fun it was. Next was the lazy river.

The lazy river was pretty boring. All you did was

float on an inner tube very slowly on water. Then

we went to the theme park. The theme park had all

kinds of rides to go on. The first ride we went on

was tremors. Tremors is a roller coaster that goes

at least 50-55 M.P.H. It was the best ride there.

The next roller coaster was cork screw. Cork

screw was the second best ride there. Cork screw

is a roller coaster that does 2 swirls and that’s it.

Silver Wood is a fun park. You should go there

sometime.

California

On Thanksgiving Break, some people

go on vacation, some people stay home,

and some people host or go to a Thanks-

giving dinner. This year for the first

time, I went to California. We flew to

California then drove home. It was a re-

ally fun trip and you should go too!

There are many places to go and things

to see, including Hollywood, where all

the famous people go to film the movies

they are in. We even got to see them

filming a movie right by where we were

driving, right when we drove by! We al-

so got to see the tar pits that made lots

of animals extinct. A lot of times it was

warm enough to go outside without a

sweater and go swimming. Also, you

can go to the beach and play in the

ocean and sand. There are many flowers

blooming and fruit ripening. It may not

be snowy, or super-hot, but the tempera-

ture is perfect. There are lots of cool

plants you don’t see in Hood River too,

like cacti, palm trees, and many exotic

flowers! California is a really fun place

to visit, and you should go sometime. It

was a really fun first experience, and

there is much more to see. California is

a great place to visit for vacation.

Interviews

Mr. McFadden Interview by

Skyler Beard

How has your first year teaching at

Wy’east been so far?

It’s going really well. It is always tough go-

ing into a new school and being a teacher

that is replacing someone that students

liked.

Did you always want to be a teacher? If

so, Why? If not, what did you want to

be?

I knew I wanted to be a teacher as a senior

in high school, but previously I wanted to

be a chef and own my own restaurant.

Do you like living here? Why or why

not?

I do like living in Hood River. It is a beauti-

ful town. The people are some of the nicest

people I have met, and I moved from a city

that was known for nice people.

Has music always been your favorite top-

ic?

No, actually it was always important to me

and I enjoyed it, but until about my junior

year of High School, I played baseball.

Why did you pick Wy’east?

I picked Wy’east, because in the interview I

could tell the students were willing to work

hard in a level of musicianship.

Art Class After school, we have a lot

of fun classes, but my over-

all favorite is after-school art

class. Art is really fun be-

cause the art teacher lets us

pick what supplies we want

to use. We get to draw what-

ever we want! We can talk

whenever we want except

when she is talking, and we

can use a lot of different

things. Anything you can

think of, including quilling,

pastels, paints, markers, felt,

pipe cleaners, and many

more. Pretty much any art

supplies you can think of!

We even used graphite once!

We even get to make our

own art portfolio to put all of

our art we draw in the class.

It is a really fun class, and I

think you should join this

class. It is after-school every

other Monday.

GAME CENTER

Age of Empires II:

The Age of Kings Computer game

By: Jayce Christopherson

The game Age of

Empires is a war strategy

game. In the game you build

a city (or more) and conquer

others. You get to pick from a

list of ancient civilizations.

The game also offers many

different habitats, like deserts

and forests.

Different civilizations have

different buildings and elite

warriors. All warriors have

different skill sets. Scouts are

made for speed, while sword

men are good at fighting other

soldiers. The elite warriors are

really strong and cost a lot of

resources. You can also up-

grade soldiers and buildings

to be stronger.

Buildings allow you to do dif-

ferent things. Some create sol-

diers and others allow you to

have more items and re-

sources. Others are just for

show. Plus the walls, gates

and guard towers are special.

Gates let characters in unless

locked. Walls protect build-

ings and men. Guard towers

shoot arrows at enemies.

This game is really fun, as

you can see. If you have an

assignment you can go here

and learn about the civiliza-

tion. It also gives your arm a

workout. I hope you get this

awesome game.

Legend of Zelda: A Link

Between Worlds

By: Wyatt Brownlee

Now that A Link Between Worlds is

finally out, I now have had a chance

to play it a lot. I have beaten it, so

now I am going to tell you about it.

The first thing I am going to talk

about is the graphics they are amaz-

ing. You can also merge into walls

and go places that you could never

go. I was sort of surprised when I

found out that the world is exactly

the same as the game a Legend of

Zelda: A Link to the Past. The evil

people are princess Hilda of Lou-

rule and Yuga. Yuga is an evil man

that can turn people into paintings

or just drawings on the wall. Prin-

cess Hilda is the ruler of Lourule

and her kingdom was destroyed be-

cause Lourules triforce was lost for-

ever. So Princess Hilda wants to

take Hyrules triforce and bring it to

Lourule so it can become beautiful

again. So you have to stop them

from destroying Hyrule. I am not

going to spoil anything else for you

so if you want to know more you’ll

have to get the game. If you do, I

hope you enjoy it.

Should school

have movie nights

on Fridays? By: Jennifer Lepez

School should have a

movie night every

other Friday. It would

be a fun event, you

could hang out with

your friends, and it

could help the school

earn some money for

more fun events. The

entrance fee could be

$4.00 per person, and

maybe they could sell

some snacks during

the movie. That’s

why I think there

should be movie

night on every other

Friday.

Vending Machines By: Wyatt Brownlee

A lot of students here know

that we have a Gatorade

machine in the gym. So I

think that the school should

get more of them and put

them in the school. And to

make it even better I think

that we should get vending

machines in the school. I

think that this is a good

idea because some students

get hungry and want to eat

something tasty before and

during classes. They could

have so many snacks in

them. And they all don’t

have to have junk food in

them. They could also have

healthy snacks in them too.

The kids could also buy the

snacks and save them for

the bus or for something

extra for lunch.

Winter Dance

Canceled, Not Fair! By: Gracie Meyers & Aileen

Castro

Winter dance being canceled

is not fair because a lot of

people made plans before

and after the dance. There-

fore, there was a big crowd

at the office to call their par-

ents. Also, a lot of parents

might have been upset about

the cancellation. Friends

went over to each other’s

houses to get ready for the

dance together, or for a

sleepover. It also probably

messed up a lot of parent’s

schedules, because they had

to work or cancel work to be

home with their kids. Some

parents also might have

planned to chaperone at the

dance. As you can see, the

dance being canceled

messed up a lot of student’s

plans. Page 26
