Vol. XV Issue V April 2015 St. Joseph High School

Religious Life Explained By Nathan Hambuchen

Brother Travis juggles oranges to demonstrate the

vocations of married, single, and religious life.

Travis Gunther, a 2006 graduate

of St. Joseph School, visited class-

rooms on March 2nd to promote

religious vocations.

Travis is a Brother in the

Salesian Order which is dedicated

to the welfare of youth. He is in his

third year of temporary vows and

will take his perpetual vows in

another three years.

The focus of Brother Travis’s

talks was to show the importance

of how religious life, single life,

and married life work together.

“We are all called to a vocation,”

Brother Travis said, “God has giv-

en each of us gifts and talents that

can be used through our vocation.”

Another Salesian, Father

Dominic Tran accompanied

(continued on page 3

The Senior Class made its annual trip to Branson, MO and Silver Dollar

City on April 22nd. They had plenty of food, fun, and fellowship. It

marked one of the last opportunities they’ll have to spend time together.

Freshmen with aluminum cans they’ve collected.

A school year-long competition to redeem various

items for school supplies or monetary rewards

recently concluded with the 9th grade coming out on

top.

The Interact Club facilitated the contest which was

open to all high school students. “The freshmen

class brought in 21,268 items,” Ms. Beacham said.

These included aluminum cans,

box tops, soup labels, labels

from Tyson Foods and Coca-

Cola products, ink cartridges

and cell phones. “This can add

up to a value of $3,000 or

more,” Ms. Beacham noted.

Money for the aluminum cans

go into a maintenance fund for

the school’s busses.

As a reward for their efforts,

the 9th graders will get a pizza

party on May 1st. The 7th grade

was a close second with 20,005

items brought in. Third Place

went to the 11th grade with

12,373 items.

“We plan to do this again next

year, so the students can start

saving now,” Ms. Beacham

said.

Coach Debra Wilhite: “As a coach, you

are always looking for improvement. Our

eye/hand coordination can always use a

little help on our hitting. We are working on

our defense as a whole to improve as our

season goes along.”

Bulldog Spirit: What are you looking for

this season?

Coach Debra Wilhite: “I don't believe in

making big steps at one time. We are look-

ing for small things to get us to a greater

goal at the end.”

Bulldog Spirit: What are some of the

team’s strengths?

Coach Debra Wilhite: “The key word here

being “TEAM”. These girls aren’t in it for

themselves. It’s all about the team. They are

all willing to learn and the team comes first.

They get along great and have great heart

and wit, which makes for some fun days

and we haven’t even started playing yet.

Our biggest strength is us– it’s “TEAM”. Update: This interview was conducted a few

weeks ago. Since then, the girls’ record is 4-1 in

Conference and 4-7 overall. “They’re improving

every day,” Assistant Coach Lum Wilhite says.

“They’re coming together and learning their

positions better. We’re just trying to get ready

for District.”

proud of the way the girls are coming

along. We’ve come a long way from

that first practice. They are all working

hard toward a common goal.”

Bulldog Spirit: Are there some things

the team might need to work on?

Anatomy Students Try Exotic Dish By Daniel Emerick

Mr. Jim Belote’s anatomy classes at St. Joseph High

School have been studying digestive systems. A ben-

efit from their studies came in the form of a tasty treat

he offered them. It’s called beef tripe or menudo

since it’s a popular Hispanic dish. It contains pieces

of a cow’s stomach. The students were okay trying it,

but admitted they weren’t anxious for too big a

helping.

Dinosaur Exhibit Viewed

Dinosaur model in front of Clinton Library

Ninth and 11th grade students from St.

Joseph High School visited the Clinton

Presidential Center on April 22nd to see a

dinosaur exhibit which opened there this

month and will remain through mid-

October.

Thirteen life-size “roaring and breathing”

animatronic creations make up the

“Dinosaurs Around the World” display at

the Center. While there, the students also

met with world-renowned paleontologist

Psychology Students Get Life Lesson By Emma Kordsmeier

Nathan Hambuchen, Sam Burgener and Grant Merkel have visions of returning to the

Faulkner County Detention Center.

Ms. Betsy Beacham’s psychology

class toured the Faulkner County

Detention Center on March 18th. “I

wanted to reinforce the material we

learned in class about sociopathic

behavior,” Ms. Beacham said. “I

wanted the students to associate this

material to a real life setting and that

going to jail is a very serious thing.”

The class experienced the booking,

the restraint chair, a holding cell,

blended food, the men’s and

women’s units, and at the end they

had Lieutenants Gary Andrews and

Christopher Reidmueller answer

questions.

“The blended food detainees have to

eat if they get in trouble stood out to

me the most,” Sam Burgener said.

“One of the things I noticed was how

serious the officers in charge are

about keeping themselves safe when

taking care of the detainees,” Nathan

Hambuchen added. Grant Merkel said

the moment officers briefly locked

him in a holding cell he knew he

would never want to be there. When

visiting both the men’s and women’s

units Tristin Harper said she was

surprised by how loud the men were

compared to the women.

When the students returned to class

Ms. Beacham had them write

synopses of the trip. “Most of them

commented about not wanting to go

there as detainees,” she said. “This

was an extremely eye-opening

experience for my students.”

A new fad has caught on at our school.

Several students, along with math and phys-

ics teacher Jeremy Elsinger, have begun

playing with Rubik’s cubes.

Nate “The Tank” Hambuchen started this

trend. “One day I was watching an interview

of my favorite rapper, Logic, and I saw he

was solving a Rubik’s Cube,” Nate said.

“From there, I started watching videos about

the Rubik’s Cube which made me really

want to try it out.”

A Rubik’s Cube is a six-sided, multi-

colored puzzle that’s solved by rotating the

pieces into position where one color fills a

side. The cube was named after Erno Rubik,

a Hungarian inventor and architect.

Once Nate got a cube he spent hours re-

searching and taking notes trying to solve the

puzzle. He’s since been spending any free

time he has practicing or learning faster ways

to solve the cube.

The current world record for complet-

ing the puzzle is 5.5 seconds. It was set

by an 18 year-old Dutchman named

Mats Valk. “My fastest time right now

is 45.66 seconds,” Nate says. Mr.

Elsinger is a close second at 58.08

seconds.

Other students caught up in this craze

include Grant Merkel, Aaron

Hoelzeman, Austin Welter, Dylan

Schrekenhofer, Wayne Roland, and

Collin Davis.

There’s no conclusive evidence to

show Rubik’s cubers have advanced

intelligence. Their prowess does indi-

cate exceptional pattern recognition,

movement visualization, finger

dexterity, and multi-tasking and muscle

memory skills.

“I’m just doing this for fun,” Nate

says. “But I want to be the best I can be

and better than anyone I know.”

Dan’s Games

“Beseige” by Daniel Emerick

Besiege is a sandbox game with the goal of creating a machine to, for lack of a better

word, Besiege enemy fortifications and complete goals such as destroying fortifications

and defeating armies.

This game gives you huge amounts of freedom to create your very own medieval

death machine with a variety of weaponry to choose from, such as cannons and old fash-

ioned flame throwers. You can also get more creative and build something like a catapult

WITH cannons. Nothing is more threatening than that.

The game is currently in early access on steam, so it isn't even near finished yet, and

I'm sure the game will incorporate even more freedom in the future of the game. Right

now the game doesn't have a whole lot of levels to play through, and the game would ben-

efit from more things to be able to put on your contraption.

At the heart it is a sandbox game, with the point of being able to solve the problems

how you want, not just solving them the way that the game wants you to. You can make

anything from a wall of fire to a spinning blade trap of death. One note though, don't go

into this game expecting an accurate representation of medieval war machines. The game

lets you use things like rotary saws and mechanical pistons in your creations, which I'm

pretty sure is already more than the technology they had in medieval times. It is a fun

game made for you to have fun it, so get into it and have some fun!

- How has the team changed since last year?

- What are the team's goals for this year?

- What are the toughest teams the Bulldogs will face?

- Are you confident that the team is going to reach the

State Tournament?

ANTHONY FILLIPPINO: -The number of players with at least two years of

playing soccer has increased from the previous year.

-We missed the playoffs last year. This year is to get

back into the playoffs.

-Outside of District, it could be Morrilton or Valley

View. Within the district, it would have to be Jonesboro

Westside or Crowley's Ridge.

-Maumelle and Valley View moved out of Confer-

ence, so there are two top slots that will be up for

grabs. SJS could take one of those spots, but it will de-

pend on how the team comes together.

Update: The team’s season has been a roller coaster of

emotions with a record of 7-3 overall and 4-2 in confer-

ence. “Compared to our pervious season, we have flour-

ished,” Senior Wyatt Zinno said. “the team’s overall

strength has increased astronomically. We have come

together and are working well with each other.”

KEVIN RITTMAN:

-The 2015 St. Joseph Girls Soccer Team has seen major changes from

last year. We started by losing seven seniors to graduation in 2014 and one

transfer to another school this year. Joining the team this year are five fresh-

men and two sophomores. We also have a student transfer from Conway

who will be eligible to play in the 2016 season.

-The Girls Soccer Team wants to be State Champions this year, but we

also have several other goals to go along with that. We want to improve

several parts of our game including on the field communication, technical

skills, and our ability to work as a team.

-Our conference has several new teams this year, and we have not seen

them play before so there are some unknowns. We will still have tough

games with Southside Batesville and the always competitive Conway Chris-

tian within our conference. We will finish with non-conference games

against Episcopal Collegiate and Valley View in order to prepare for the

State Tournament.

-Looking at the amount of change in the team compared to last year

it would seem that we might struggle this season and be in a “rebuilding”

mode. That is not the case. After three weeks of preseason workouts and a

couple of weeks of practice we are ready to play. We are definitely not as

experienced as we were last season, but our team is competing hard in prac-

tice and with the senior leadership provided by Sarah Downey, Caroline

Dail & Maddy Shamburger we should be playing in the State Tournament.

Update: The team is off to a roaring start at 8-0. “We’ve done very well

this season,” Senior Caroline Dail said. “ We’ve not faced some of our

tougher competition yet, but we will in the next couple of weeks. We’ve had

good movement with the ball, but we’re still working on our first touch.

We’ve done very well with possession and being physical.”

The Needle Drops

By Daniel Emerick

Agaetis byrjun is the second album from

Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros. Bearing

orchestral elements such as

piano, violin, and various other stringed in-

struments, along with guitar and drums, feels

reminiscent of Godspeed you!

Black Emperor, but Sigur Ros is far from it.

While Godspeed is very doom- driven in their

sound, Agaetis Byrjun is hopeful and blissful

from the get go. This album is so peaceful and

serene, especially with the assistance from the

vocals provided by Birgisson. They’re as

equally incredible as the instrumentation on

the album. His singing voice is just so nice to

listen to, I have to say. The crescendos that

accompany the songs on this album are noth-

ing short of glorious.

I just find this album to be so beautiful,

even though I can't understand a word they

are saying due to its being in a foreign lan-

guage. The album even seems to feel nostal-

gic at times. It just produces such a serene

atmosphere that’s hard to put into words.

With a runtime of about 75 minutes, it’s defi-

nitely worth a listen.

Piper Mullaney and Drew Lewis.

The Cutest Friends By Mollie Angel & Tillar Lewis

Bulldog Spirit: How did you two meet?

Piper & Drew: First, we hated each other.

Then, since Piper hated band, she joined study

skills last year where we started liking each

other and hanging out.

Bulldog Spirit: What common interests do

you have?

Piper & Drew: American Horror Story and

boys that are out of our league.

Bulldog Spirit: What are your nicknames for

each other?

Piper & Drew: Drewster and Pipster.

Bulldog Spirit: Have you ever gotten into any

trouble together?

Piper & Drew: Yes, we were playing

“Matrix” and threw Drew’s backpack on the

roof of Mrs. Davis’ trailer. Coach B tattle-

tailed on us.

Bulldog Spirit: Do you have a handshake?

Piper & Drew: No, but we have our own

Morse code by clicking our pens and having

syncopated blinking.

Bulldog Spirit: How much would you bet you

two will still be friends in ten years?

Piper: I bet everything in life to be friends

with my Drewster.

Drew: 69%.

Paleontology at Montana State

Horner has made such ground-breaking

nosaurs.

The students heard a formal presentation

from Horner, but also visited with him

individually for question and answer

sessions.

Massa Going to Governor’s School

St. Joseph High School junior Tia Massa

has been accepted to attend the 2015 Arkan-

sas Governor's School held at Hendrix Col-

lege in Conway.

This six-week program runs from June 14-

July 25. Selection for the school is based on

a combination of ability and interest and is

highly competitive.

Arkansas’ Governor’s School began in

1980, and it’s one of 23 states to have such a

program. It provides “highly motivated,

creative students with an intellectual atmos-

phere impossible to sustain in ordinary aca-

demic settings.”

Bulldog Spirit: What strengths do

you see in the team this year?

Coach Luke Davis: We’ve got a

pretty good pitching rotation with

four guys. Three of them are sen-

iors (until Britt Sroth got hurt). I’m

expecting them to go out every

game and give us about four or five

innings.

Bulldog Spirit: What’s this year

looking like competition wise?

Coach Davis: Everybody’s looking

pretty good. We’ll try to make every

game count and improve as much

we can. In our Conference there’s

about four or five teams going for

first. We’re going to have to work

hard to get better than what we are.

Bulldog Spirit: How do you assess

the talent you have?

Coach Davis: I watch us practice

every day and in games. We try to

assess what’s best for the team.

Bulldog Spirit: How do you feel

about wins and loses?

Coach Davis: I want to win more

than we lose.

Update: The team’s record at press

time was 6-5 overall and 4-1 in

Conference. “We’re a lot better

from the beginning of the season

until now,” Coach Davis said.

“We’ve still got a long ways to go

and a short time to get there.

Bowling Teams Have Solid Season

The St. Joseph High School

Bowling Teams competed in the

3rd Place with 3,816 pins. Norfork

was 1st with 4067 and Riverside

came in 2nd with 3873.

The girls had a score of 2253

which put them in 10th Place, but

the team competed with one less

player due to absence.

Sophomore Andrew Marks

received All-State honors and a

Bronze Medal for bowling 634 in a

three-game series. He ranked 3rd

overall behind Flippin’s Coy Flippin

During Spring Break, two St. Joseph students made a European trip. Carsten O’ Dwyer and Tia Massa visited Italy, France, and

England. “In London, we got to see things like Big Ben and double-decker buses,” Carsten said “we rode on the London Eye and

saw the crown jewels. Then, we took the bullet train and went through the English Channel to Paris, France.” In Paris, Carsten

saw the Eiffel Tower and went through the Louvre Museum, where he saw the famous Mona Lisa painting. (More on pg. 12)

Carsten and Tia then took a train to

Florence, Italy where they saw

Michelangelo’s statue of David. They

then drove to Rome and saw the

Vatican and Sistine Chapel. They also

saw the Colosseum, the Roman

Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. “My

favorite part was the food,” Carsten

said. “We ate fish and chips in Lon-

don, crepes in Paris, gelato in Flor-

ence, and Lasagna in Italy.”

“My favorite place was London,”

Tia Massa said, “it was the nicest of

all the cities. I had fish and chips in

London. I went to the London Eye. I

toured the London Tower, and I said

the changing of the guards at

Buckingham Palace.”

Like Carsten, Tia talked about the

Louvre Museum and the Eiffel

Tower. She thought the view from up

there was great but it was cold and

windy at the top. The Notre Dame

Cathedral was her favorite place in

Paris.

Italy was very beautiful but

crowded. Tia saw the tomb of St.

Francis in Assisi and picked an olive

branch there. She liked seeing the

Statue of David in Florence. She

really enjoyed the Italian food. “In

Rome and Florence, I had gelato and

pizza,” Tia said. “They were both

very good, especially the pizza.”

Donuts Make Dough By Nathan Hambuchen and Sam Burgener

Economics students watch how

Ms. Monica Lieblong’s 9th grade Econom-

issues involved in starting a business. To give

her students a close up view of how business-

es work, she took them to the recently-

opened Krispy Kreme Doughnut store.

“We got to see what capital recourses

Krispy Kreme has,” Triple Williams said.

“Seeing how the doughnuts were made was

pretty cool. We could have learned what each

machine cost but they didn’t tell us that.”

“I learned a lot about production and how

things are made,” Lizzie Whitley said. “I

learned it takes a lot of steps to make some-

thing, but my favorite part of the trip was

eating the doughnuts.” Triple rollin’ in dough.

Scouts Soar Like Eagles

Any Boy Scout who wants to achieve

the rank of Eagle must complete a pro-

approved by the Council.

Junior Grant Merkel chose to remodel

an exhibit at the Faulkner County Mu-

seum. This meant, painting, making

information stands, making a plywood

cow, and rearranging the items in the

exhibit.

The project took three days to com-

plete. Grant was assisted by fellow

scouts, Hunter Trussell, Matthew

McWilliams, Cory Strack, Caleb

Strack, Clay Strack, Peter Woodson,

and Gabriel Stobaugh.

Grant expects to get his Eagle some-

time in June.

This is the cotton exhibit at the Faulkner

County Museum. It was repainted, rearranged,

and information stands were added.

This is Grant and his brother Justin also

worked on a dairy exhibit, which included

adding information stands and making a ply-

wood cow.
