A Last Note from the Editor

Since my freshman year, I’ve been heavily involved with journalism class. It’s been a constant in my life throughout the crazy whirlwind of change that is high school. My entire life has revolved around the act of writing; in moments of both extreme joy and crushing sadness, I’ve always had a pen or keyboard to fall back on. Journalism class facilitated this driving need of mine as well as gave me an audience to share ideas and thoughts with. Signing up for this class was one of the best choices I’ve ever made in academia.

Despite the stability journalism offered, it, too, was ever evolving. That was something really charming about newspaper: although it is essentially the same, the details change so much. During ninth and tenth grade, I noticed how many struggles our editor, Josh, had to cope with. There were always  claustrophobic deadlines, staff members that lacked motivation, and all sorts of variables he could not control; however, he was incredibly resilient and able to pull together a varied and interesting edition of the paper every time. Watching Josh work really inspired me to write more intelligently and thoughtfully. When Josh graduated, another staff member and I were left holding the reins. My eleventh year was, in a word, tumultuous…and not just for me. Personal drama spilled into the classroom as over half the staff withdrew before that January, and I was left the sole editor. I think we only pulled together two editions of the paper that year, but in hindsight, we didn’t do too terrible of a job at all– especially when you consider what we were up against.

Even this year, our little class has mutated and grown exponentially. Ms Ross, who had served as the advisor since I joined the class, retired and was replaced by Mrs Daniel. Mrs Daniel has been completely incredible and willing to help in any way possible; I’m so completely thankful for her and her patience. For the first time since I’ve been on the staff, we actually had not one but TWO reporters that enjoyed writing sports articles (in years past, getting sports articles written was not unlike pulling teeth from unwilling patients). Kara and I were the only returning staff members, but we were able to get everyone to band together and put forth our last print edition of the Here’s How. While it was sort of sad to put the layout sheets and glue sticks aside, it marked a major turning point. Since we’ve started publishing online, our audience has extended. We’re able to publish articles as they’re written instead of waiting until they wither into old news. Going online was the best decision I think I could’ve made for the Here’s How to ensure its future.

After this Friday, May 29, I will be passing the editorial torch to two brilliant staff members: Kara Jarvis and Matthew Hardin. I have complete confidence in their abilities; I know that LHS will continue to have a reliable source of news into the next few years under them. My wish for them is that they will bring balance to each other and harmony to the staff. I will miss them and the rest of the class very dearly; this has truly been the best year of high school for me. I mean, whatever could have I done without Chelsey’s emphatic hee-haw laugh, or Kara’s crazy stories? I want to thank everyone at LHS for making my senior year truly memorable and enjoyable. I will look back at high school fondly for as long as I live! =)

Much love,

Autumn Grove

Kara’s Quote of The Day

FOR THE SENIORS

“Graduation is only a concept.  In real life, every day you graduate.  Graduation is a process that goes on  until the last day of your life.  If you can grasp that, you’ll make a difference.”  ~Arie Pencovici

Kara’s Quote of the Day

“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure–which is: Try to please everybody.” -Herbert Bayard Swope-

Goodbye Autumn

I have been in journalism for two years now and it has definitely been a wonderful experience, but I do not think I could have ever made it through all this time without Autumn Grove. When I walked into this class after half the year had passed and everyone was already comfortable, she welcomed me in as if I had been there all along. She was absolutely great and anytime I needed her, she was right there by my side with an answer to any question I had.

It will be a very sad and difficult thing to have to watch her leave, but I have faith that she will have great success throughout life. Although she will be greatly missed next year and I’m not quite sure how I will make it without her, I wish her and all seniors the best of luck on their journey through life!

I Love You So Much Autumn!

Kara

Farewell everyone!

Farewell to all my teachers and all my friends that I have had throughout the years at high school.  I wish everyone the best of luck throughout  the years to come, and I hope everyone has enjoyed me here at high school like I have enjoyed you. Thanks!

Sincerely, Bobby Hager

Logan VS Hurricane

It was a show down in Logan when the Hurricane Redskins came to town. Logan was up on almost the whole game; it was 4-3 going into the 6th inning when pitcher Todd Fleming got in a little trouble and walked a few batter two errors, which then happend to send Hurricane in the lead 7-4. Going into the the bottom of the 7th, Logan tried to fight back, putting runners in scoring postion, but Hurricane held the Wildcats off and deafted theWildcats with the score of 7-4.

Okay, for all those that love a good meal, I would love to tell you this week to try some Mexican. To all, it is a great dish and very rare taste to get it just right. Some too spicy, some too mild, but if you can get the right amount, it is great. Only with its unique way of color and flavor in it its beauty.

Life Lessons by Jason McPeak

This year has been one of learning, loving, and, well, just plain old high school drama, but learning does not always have to come from a book. I thought the best gift I could give any of you would lessons about life that I’ve learned.  

1. I’ve learned that we are all only given one life with which to make a difference. Use yours wisely, and help as many people as you can.
2. I’ve learned that all actions have consequences.
3. Learn the value of money now. College is expensive; life is not any cheaper. When someone sends you a bill with a deadline, they really mean it!
4. I’ve learned that now is the time to be mature, and to learn that respect is earned not demanded. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
5. I’ve learned that parents, for the most part, want what is best for you. It may not seem like it in that situation, but they do. Trust is earned, not something that is given to you when you reach a certain age.
6. I’ve learned that karma really does exist. If you don’t believe in karma, at least believe in the concept of it, that if you are good to people, people will be good to you. In other words, you get what you give.
7. I’ve learned that if you work really hard and do your very best, you will succeed. It may not be what you originally set out to do, but you will be successful.
8. I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
9. I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can’t.
10. I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
11. I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
12. I’ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
13. If you put people on a pedestal, they will fall and you will be disappointed…EVERY TIME!
14. I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. 
15. Stand up for what you believe in. It may not always be the popular choice, but at least you can stand to look at yourself in the mirror and recognize who you are.
16. I’ve learned that we every person has good in them. You may have to look hard, but it’s there.

           Wishing you the best, 
           Mr. McPeak
