Inside this issue:

On December 10, 2014, the High

School choir and band students held their

annual Christmas concert. They were di-

rected by Mr. Tony Sanders. Mr. Sanders

said, “I thought it went really well. Usually

the members will rise up to performing bet-

ter at a concert.” The highlights of the night

were Jazz Band, Jr. High Choir and Pop

Singers. The Jr. High Choir sang songs

such as “Do

You Want To

Build A Snow-

man” and

‘Holiday Hand

Jive.” The Jazz

band played

songs such as

“Funky ol’ St.

Nick” and “I’ll

Be Home For

Christmas.”

The Pop sing-

ers did a med-

ley of songs. “I

used a much

more appropriate level of music in this con-

cert than I have before. I challenged every-

one with different levels and languages of

music. The process worked better because I

understood what I was doing. I had a lot of

confidence in conducting the different

groups. I was nervous but in a different

spectrum. I would change a few things

about the Jr. high practices, including;

stretching rehearsal time more, and rehears-

ing earlier with them. I would spend my

time better with the Jr. high, and I might

have chosen different songs for them.” The

concert turned out

to be one hour and

fifty-five minutes

long. There were a

few solos for Jazz

band including;

Kale Knutson on

Saxophone, Abby

Soule on Trombone

and Julia Blommel

on Trumpet. “I

budgeted the length

of the concert for

two hours and no

longer. I don’t

want it to last too

late because it’s a school night. It’s a rea-

sonable amount of time for the concert to go

on. I figured the latest would be 9:30 to

reach the end of the concert.”

On December 11, 2014, the elementary stu-

dents held their annual holiday program. They

were directed by Mrs. Kris Petermeier. Mrs. Pe-

termeier said, “I have been conducting the ele-

mentary programs since 1993, so I have been put-

ting them on for 21 years. I think that the program

went very well but the kids were very nervous.

This was the first year that the kids couldn’t sit in

the gym to watch.” A few of the most memorable

parts for the audience watching the program are

the kids singing about Santa. Seeing the kids get

excited about singing is a highlight of the pro-

gram. “My least favorite part would have to be

practicing for so many weeks ahead of time and

the kids don’t

get to practice

in the gym

until the day

of the pro-

gram. I could

have given the speakers more time to practice as a

group. Some of the kids shouldn’t scream their

parts.” Some of the songs the children sang are;

“Merry Christmas Santa,” “I’ve Got A List,” and

“A Puppy for Christmas.” “They need more time

to act out their parts. Some kids can’t stand for

very long but some can. It is better if the kids

learn actions with the songs because they remem-

ber the words better with actions. They like to

choreograph themselves. The actions also help

them stay put.”

NHS is a group of selected students who show

a good example. NHS has been a part of Browerville

school since 1921. The new NHS members are chosen

every year by the high school teachers. To apply for

NHS, you must be a junior or a senior, and have a

GPA of at least 3.4 for seniors, and a 3.6 for juniors.

NHS raised $215.44 for the food shelf right here in

town. NHS does multiple different types of fundrais-

ing, activities, and community work. NHS partici-

pates in helping with the concession stands, the Penny

Wars for the food shelf and the blood drive. NHS also

recently joined with the YEAH group and set up a

dance on December 6 after the girls volleyball game

to raise awareness for “Toys for Kids” and raised

$385.

Grace Couchey said, “NHS is a great program

that awards good students. It helps prepare students

for college. The projects that we participate in help the

community and have a great impact on our school.

There isn’t much I would want change about the

group.”

Trista Boyer said, “It makes a difference on

people’s lives. It looks great on your resume. I would-

n’t want to change a lot about the group, it’s very fun

to be apart of.”

Josiah Cole said, “It’s a really fun group to be

in. It looks great on your resume and it gets you into a

good college. It is a good idea to keep your GPA up if

you’re interested in joining.”

Faith Couchey said, “NHS is a great program

to be in. It gives you a chance to help the community.

It is a good idea to volunteer a lot. Make sure you

have just a positive attitude in general.”

Andy Brichacek said, “It’s a good group to be

in. It’s structured very well. It is a good idea to be as

helpful as you can. Keep track of what you put on

your application and make sure you hand it in on time,

if not early.”

Grace, Trista, Josiah, Faith, and Andy are the

newest additions to NHS.

Kate Kellen said, “NHS is a great program

that helps students get involved. It helps prepare you

for college. I wouldn’t want to much about this pro-

gram. It’s just a good thing to be in.”

Katelyn Middendorf said, “It is a very good

program to be in. It is full of very nice people who

have a great impact on your life. The program is run

very well. I think it is a good idea to join because it

looks good on your resume. I think a good idea to get

more people interested is to hang up more posters.”

Browerville Welcomes New Staff

Stacia Pearson is our new High School

secretary. She’s not new to the community,

she’s lived here all her life and lives close by.

She says she loves working here and seeing

people that she knows everyday. Before com-

ing here she worked at Headquarters Salon for

quite a period of time in Long Prairie before

she got this job offer and decided to come to

work here. She says she enjoys working here

so far and there’s nothing she would change.

Due to a midyear resignation, students

at Browerville welcome a new math teacher.

Joseph Rowan said that he came to this school

because the students needed a qualified math

teacher. He said, “ I enjoy students and the

money was good.” The most exciting thing

about working here he said, “ Truthfully the

students and staff.” He started teaching in

1968 and retired in 2000. He taught for 32

years all in Long Prairie. He said there is noth-

ing that he would change because he likes it

just the way it is. He likes the students, staff,

and the math classes that he gets to teach. He

gets along with the students and staff really

well and has incorporated himself fast and eas-

ily into the school. After he is done teaching

here, he plans on going back to being a retired

educator, and maybe start planning another

trip. Maybe somewhere in Asia or Australia.

Triple “A” Award Winner

Makenna Hegseth is Browerville Lion’s Club Student of the Month

for November. The faculty member that nominated her had this to say,

”She comes to class ready to learn, helpful to others and makes good use of

her time in practicing skills during class time. She is thoughtful of others.

She is pleasant to all and has been a good student all semester. She is active

in many areas of our school and community. She is in band and choir, vol-

leyball, basketball, softball, on student council and in the National Honor

Society in our school. She is the daughter of Jill and Ted Hegseth.”

This years triple “A” award winner is Katelyn Kellen. The Triple

“A” award is an award that recognizes and honors high school

seniors who have excelled in the classroom, on the athletic field,

and in the fine arts. Katelyn says, “ It’s almost like a leadership

award. In order to be a part of this award, you have to fill out a

pretty extensive application online and then submit it to the school

and they go from there.” She says, “The hardest part for me was

athletics because its an extra thing to do. You have to take your

extra time and put in extra work. Sometimes it’s harder to be a

part of a team then to work by yourself. The easier one for me was

the academics because I have always been good about managing

my schoolwork and it came more natural to me.” “My mom is an important aspect of who I am.”

She says that she heard about this award through past years. Abigail Irsfeld and Trent Johnson were

a big help. “ I am honored to be able to represent this award. I don't think I deserve it more than any-

one else, but leadership throughout the school has given me the opportunity to receive the award.”

NEW ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND FFA

The Browerville FFA poultry Team traveled to Brainerd on Thursday Jan-

uary 8th. The team consisted of 5 high school students. The students were Russell

Parteka, Nic Becker, Stephan Hershberger, Caitlyn Robak, and Karina Perish.

While at the competition the team had to taste 10 different cheeses and label them,

taste 8 different milks that had weird flavors, and took a 50 question test about

dairy in the United States. They also had to look at 5 different milker parts and list

their defects and had to look at California Mastitis Tests. The team came in 5th

place missing 4th place by three points. If they would have had just 3 more points

they would be going to state. After the competition the team went to

Pizza Ranch for lunch. The team hopes to take part in another competi-

tion this year with another chance at making it to state. If the team

doesn’t go to another competition they will try and compete again next

year.

By: Russell Parteka

Some of the new elementary students were interviewed and asked a few questions about their gen-

eral thoughts about this school. Here is what they had to say:

Chase Wojtonowics said, “ I like the school, it’s kind of good. My favorite class is gym, and my

least favorite class is art. I like my teacher because she teaches math.” Ellie Dukawitz said, “ It’s a pretty

good school. My favorite class is gym, my least favorite class is math. I like my teacher, she is nice.“ She

came here from Staples. Breanna Ecker said,” It’s a good school. My favorite thing is the activities. I like

my teachers, they are good at teaching. I don't have a

least favorite class.” She came to Browerville from

Litchfield. Clayden Wojtonowics said, “ I like this

school and the teachers that I have.” Chase is in sec-

ond grade, Ellie and Clayden are fourth graders, and

Breanna is a sixth grader.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Browerville School district would like

to welcome Jaymi Nelson, Isiah Gorder, Sullivan

Decker, and Devan Joarnt to the school year of

2014-2015.

Jaymi Nelson said,

“Browerville is easier than

Bertha-Hewitt schools. I

have friends here. You

know who your real

friends are after a while.

Its hard missing the first

few weeks of school

though. There are a few

things that influenced me

to come back to

Browerville including

Volleyball, my friends,

and art. It is easier to learn

when you know the teach-

ers. I have been to 7

schools in total in my life.

It is a good school to grad-

uate from.”

Sullivan Decker

said, “Browerville is a lot

simpler than Long Prairie

because stuff is easier. It is a lot more peaceful in

Browerville and I have friends here. Browerville

has influenced me to participate in school activi-

ties and be more active. I like the school a lot bet-

ter because I have a lot more friends and I learn a

lot more. I see no changes from coming back to

Browerville besides the “Truth is” posters and the

teachers. I have been to 2 schools in total. It is a

good school to graduate from because its small,

easily accessible and reliable.”

Isiah Gorder said, “There are no differ-

ences between learning at Browerville than there is

at Bertha-Hewitt. It is fun to come back to

Browerville because I actually

know people here and I'm happy

to see my friends. I have been to

6 schools in my life. It is a good

school to graduate from but I

would rather graduate from St.

Cloud because I have more

friends there.”

Devin Joarnt said, “I like

the teachers here and its more

one on one in the classrooms.

My sister influenced me to

come to Browerville because

she said it was a nice school and

I figured if she liked it then it

was a good school. I might have

still came to Browerville even if

my sister didn’t come to

Browerville. Browerville has

influenced me to want to do

good in classes and extra-

curricular activities. I have been

to 2 schools in my life.

Browerville is a good school to graduate from be-

cause I like the smallness and easier to get along

with people. It is easier to make friends in a small-

er school. It helped a lot that when I came I had

friends here already.”

YEAH is a group of high school students,

ranging from seventh through twelfth grade, who

work together to spread the message that living

healthy is important and to show a good example.

YEAH also teaches people how important it is to

stay away from drugs and alcohol. It is a great

opportunity to help others exceed and to make

good decisions in life. It is important now for the

YEAH members to recruit younger students be-

cause of the amount of seniors that are currently

in YEAH.

Clara Cline said, “I like being in YEAH. It

is a great program. I think it is a great opportunity

for younger students to learn how important it is

to not do drugs and alcohol. It is also a great op-

portunity for the older members of YEAH to

teach the newer members how important living a

healthy life is.”

Amber Sutlief said, “I really enjoy being

in this program. I think it is a good thing to teach

everybody how important it is to stay healthy and

fit. It gives you a good learning and teaching op-

portunity.”

Dani Leagjeld said, “I think YEAH is a

great program to be in. It helps you teach others

how important it is to live a healthy life. Being in

YEAH shows good leadership to others and it

helps prevents teens from making bad decisions.”

Cassie Zimmer said, “This is a great pro-

gram that helps others stay on track and think

ahead to the future. We have a lot of different ac-

tivities, mostly just ones that help bring people

together. YEAH is a lot of fun, and it gives you a

chance to be important to people.”

Christian Sutlief said, “It is a great pro-

gram to be apart of. It is very fun to have different

activities and events that are open to a wide varie-

ty of students. I find it very important to life a

healthy life and teach others to stay away from

drugs and alcohol.”

The art students in Mrs. Hagenson’s

class took a trip to see different cultures of art

on December 3, 2014.

Anja Frei, a foreigner from Switzerland,

said, “I really enjoyed the trip, it was very inter-

esting to see new things. My favorite part was

going to see the Minnesota Art Institute. My

favorite artwork in the MN Art Institute was the

French Ballroom.”

Maria

Lascano, a for-

eigner from

Ecuador, said, “I

loved the trip,

my favorite part

was seeing The

Cherry and The

Spoon. We saw

two different art

museums, the

first one we saw

was 3D art, and the second one was abstract art.

The Minnesota Art Institute is very big and has

interesting things to see and appreciate.”

Giovanna Lima, a foreigner from Brazil,

said, “I really liked the trip, I had a lot of fun. I

enjoyed everything I saw and did. I enjoyed be-

ing with my friends to see things together. My

favorite part was the Walker Museum or MN

Art Institute. We got to see many different art-

works there. I think this is a great learning op-

portunity for others to learn about the different

cultures there are around the world.”

Paula Wohlgemuth, a foreigner from

Germany, said, “I had a lot of fun going to see

everything. The bus ride there and back was

long but I had plenty of company. The muse-

ums were really big and they gave you a chance

to really appreciate art. My favorite part was

going to see the “Cherry and the Spoon.” I find

it important for the school to keep sending kids

back there because it’ll get students more inter-

ested.”

Grace

Couchey said, “I

really enjoyed

going on this trip.

I think this is a

great learning op-

portunity. My fa-

vorite part was

going to see the

Minnesota Art

Institute and be-

ing able to see the

many different types of art they have there. At

the MN Art Institute we saw 3D art and Histori-

cal Art, and at the Walker Museum we saw

more modern art. I would definitely want to go

back there again.”

NAME Grade

Varsity Roster

This is the first

year Browerville has offered

gymnastics and with not

doing this before they com-

bined with Long Prairie

Gray Eagle in Gym-

nastics. Out of the

some girls that

showed interest, only

three showed true

interest. The

Browerville Tigers

and the LPGE Thun-

der came up with the

mascot– The Wolves.

All three Wolf gym-

nasts representing

Browerville was in-

terviewed.

Reanne,“ I have

been in gymnastics for six

years. So far I have compet-

ed in all around varsity. All

around is competing in eve-

rything: Floor, Vault, Une-

ven Bars, and the Balance

Beam. My personal goal by

the end of the season is to

become a better gymnast

individually.”

Cassie,“ This is my

first actual year in gymnas-

tics, but I’ve went to the

summer programs in Long

Prairie when I was younger.

I compete on Junior Varsity

Floor. It was awkward at

first to be with total

strangers. During Captain's

practice there was hardly

any interaction between the

girls and us. The Coaches

are fantastic! There more

then willing to go out of

their way and help us. I

liked how former girls from

gymnastics that graduated

comes to practice to help us

how to do jumps properly

and proper stance and form

for everything. It became

easier to interact with the

girls when actual practice

started because the coaches

bonded us together. I would

like to compete on more

then two spots and do better

on Beam and Floor by the

end of the season.”

Alexis,“ This is my

first year besides doing

summer programs when I

was little. My first meet I

competed on beam. I am on

Junior Varsity. Head Coach

Jen Olson took us in under

her wing like she did with

the other gymnasts.

She treated us all as

one team rather then

two schools com-

bined. She helps

with mostly with

bars since that’s her

specialty. Coach

Dave Vogel helps

girls with Vault, but

also helps with

mounts and dis-

mounts on beam.

The girls basketball team has

been rolling so far this season. As an

experienced team playing together

since they were very little has brought

them to a 10 to 0 record. To start off

the season the ladies played home vs.

Bertha Hewitt and ended with a score

of 87-52 for their first win. New Lon-

don Spicer came to town and they

pulled off another victory 57-35.

The ladies then went to

Swanville for the first road game of

the year, they had no trouble getting

the ball in the hoop and won 75-33.

The next game they played in the jun-

gle against Upsala and came out on

top with a 85-66 win. The Saint Johns

Jonnies rolled into Browerville and

the ladies won this game also at the

score of 68-31. Then the girls traveled

into Kimball and they gave them a

tough test with the lady tigers only

winning by 9; 59-50. The girls started

Christmas Break gearing up for their

annual Cloquet holiday tourney. On

December 29, the girls faced Cloquet

and won 70-61. The next day they

faced Duluth Denfeld and won again;

80-38 winning the Holiday tourney

for the first time. Then a new year

came along, on the 6th of January

Menahga came into town and we won

once again; 76-46.

Katelyn Middendorf was

asked, “How is the season going”, and

she replied with, “Its going well, we

came out hot and we want to continue

it”. The girls got new jerseys this year

and she was asked how she felt about

them, “They are very nice, we can

breathe well in them”. On January 8,

our rival Long Prairie came in and the

Browerville girls beat them 98-35.

Let’s hope the girls have success this

season and good luck!

The Boys basketball team has been doing

well so far this year. The guys started the year out

with Bertha coming to Browerville and lost a tough

one 51-56. The boys looked to bounce back vs. the

Verndale Pirates, they pulled off the win by three

points in overtime.

Upsala came to the jungle and the boys won

68-64. Then New London Spicer came for a Saturday

game and the Browerville boys lost 78-57, making

the boys record 2-2 on the early season. A big confer-

ence game and rival from 8 miles away Long Prairie

was on the teams schedule. The boys played a fantas-

tic game winning 76-65.

Kimball was suppose to travel to Browerville

but the game was postponed due to weather. When

the holidays were around and the boys basketball

team traveled to St. Johns for the annual tourney. The

first game was versus Eden Valley Watkins and the

boys played one heck of a game but could not pull

off the win. On the second day of the tourney the Ti-

gers faced Rush City and won the game 62-43. On

the final day of the tourney and last game of 2014

they faced Onamia winning again 90-60.

The boys traveled to West Central and played

well again but just could not come out on top. Another

road for the Tigers to Osakis and won 63-54. Royalton

Royals came in the Jungle and the boys won for a second

straight game with a score of 74-26. In a interview with

Senior Grant Heid, he answered some questions about the

season so far. “What

are the goals for the

year?”, then he an-

swered with, “The

goal is to get better

each and every

game”. How is your

season going so far?,

“Its going very

good”. “Who would

be your biggest threat

on the year?”, “The

five guys out on the

court”. “What could you work on?’, “We could work on

communicating and running an offence”. On Monday,

January 12, they went to Parkers Prairie, and lost in a nail

bitter 70-67. The next day they went to St. Johns and lost

in overtime 64-63. Making their record 7-6 on the year.

Good Luck on the rest of the year!
