Article - Final
Several Tongue River High School students attended music festival activities in Buffalo and Sheridan on April 21 and April 22. On Tuesday, April 21, the students left the school at 6:30 a.m. and went to Buffalo High School. There they performed small ensembles, solos, and numerous other things. There were vocal solos from several people in the choir, including Anna Dobrenz, Sam Farnum, Travis Shuck, and Payton Gibson. A trio from the choir performed "El Shaddai." Small ensembles from each section in the band also performed for the judges in Buffalo. The ensembles consisted of a low brass ensemble, a flute ensemble, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, and a percussion ensemble. Most of the ensembles received a two from the judges. The rating system is based on a scale of one to five, with one being the best. A few of the ensembles received a three, but nothing below that. The ensembles and solos all did pretty well at the music festival in Buffalo. Some solos from Jessie Boll, Chris Maze, and a few other students were also performed at festival.
The full band and full choir performed at Sheridan High School the next day. The band was almost late due to some of the band members taking the ACT that morning. They performed Concert Variations, and three movements of the four featured in John Muir Suite. John Muir Suite was composed by Kirk Vogel, and embodied the beauty and spirit of the Yosemite area in California, experienced by John Muir. The band played only the first three movements in the piece, due to time. The choir performed that afternoon. They sang four pieces for festival. The first, Arirang, was a Korean Folk Song, the second, Russian Picnic, was definitely fun to sing. The tenor and soprano solo, performed by Anna Dobrenz and Payton Gibson, was commended by the judges. The third, A Gaelic Blessing, composed by John Rutter, was a slow, moving piece that had several beautiful harmonies. The choir finished with off American Folk Rhapsody. At this time, the choir had taken off the choir robes, revealing western looking clothes for the last song. American Folk Rhapsody consisted of three songs; Cindy, Simple Gifts, and Pick a Bale of Cotton. Cindy and Pick a Bale of Cotton were both high energy, fun songs, while Simple Gifts had contrasted it with harmonies and a slower tempo. Both the choir and band had received a two for their performances.
All of the ensembles and solos had done well at festival this year, as did the band and choir. The song choices were appropriote and well performed for festival, showing the true talent of the band, choir, and all the ensembles. All that performed had recieved nothing less than a three, which was good. Next year will be a new opportunity to show their talent again, with new members and a new director. There are only a few seniors in band that will be leaving the band at the end of this year, and hopefully the band stays strong with all the juniors, sophmores and freshmen that are currently in band.

Haunting in Connecticut Review
For those of you that like psychological; movies that have a hidden meaning, then I recommend that you do not see Haunting in Connecticut. If you like those kinds of movies that make you jump, and make you sit on the edge of your seat, then go right ahead and see this movie. Personally, I did like the plot of the movie, I just believe that they might have overused the BOO! method, just a little. Okay, maybe they used it every five minutes. You could tell when something was about to pop out at you, just from listening to the eeriness of the music. If the music wasn't a clue that something was going to happen, then the hesitation of the character could tell you to put the popcorn down, because you may just spill it all over your friend's lap if you're holding it for another minute. I just believe that the sudden change in music, environment, or attitude were clear signs that something was about to go awry.
At the beginning of the movie, it said, "Based on a True Story," but how much of the movie was actually fact? In reality, the family that was living in the home reportedly "couldn't keep their stories consistent with other family member's stories." So how true is this movie if the people actually experiencing this ordeal couldn't keep the facts straight? Plus, several of the instances in the movie were amplified to make them sound worse than they were in real life. One of the only true facts about the movie and the real story is that the son had cancer, and that the house was previously a morgue and funeral home. If you take the time to research this story, you would find that the houses look nothing alike. The house in the movie is an old, large, stone home, surrounded by trees, whereas the real home is in a residential area, has no stone whatsoever, and looks nothing like the house depicted in the movie.
The acting in the movie was another thing. I actually thought this was very well done. The plot was great, and the acting was also pretty good. The fear of the actors in certain scenes was clearly identified by the person watching the movie. The acting clearly showed that the actors were scared of the demons, or whatever was possessing the home. After the family had moved in, the son that had cancer moved into the basement, which was previously the entrance to the morgue part of the house, which was concealed behind two double doors in his room that they could not open, until one day it miraculously opened. The teen had seen corpses, wrapped up kind of like mummies. They lined the shelves and tables in the morgue. He kept feeling presences until they became virtually unbearable. After going to the hospital, with his parents being told that he only has a few weeks to live, he runs home and proceeds to tear down the wallpaper from the dining room, revealing several corpses that had been taken from their graves by the previous owners. He sets the room on fire, and is saved by his mom and a group of firefighters. Earlier in the movie, the son had premonitions, if you could call them that, of a young boy named Jonah, who had lived and died in the house as an assistant to his father, the owner of the morgue. Jonah was able to pull ectoplasm from his mouth during séances held in the house. Ectoplasm is said to be a psychic thing, and it is like a material that comes from places on a person during a séance, such as the mouth or nose.
I thought the plot of the movie was very well done, but at points the situations felt overused. The acting was good, and some of the methods use to scare the watcher were overused.

Op-Ed: Wrestling Isn't That Special.
Recently, one of my classmates, Andrew Lobach, posted an editorial stating that our school needs a wrestling team, for numerous reasons. How many people in our school would really be interested in wrestling though? Also, have you seen how many students attend TRHS? Not enough to support another sport in the school. TRHS has three seasons essentially: football, golf and volleyball, basketball, and track with another round of golf. A lot of students participate in those sports, and when is there time between those sports to add in another activity that requires participation from numeerous people already involved in something. Also, some students go into Sheridan and participate in the soccer, indoor track and hockey programs. If you look at it this way, there is no time for people to get involved with wrestling if they are already busy with something else that takes up a lot of the year.
Andrew mentioned that people involved with wrestling had a special bond that no one else in the sport's world has. Wait, isn't that said about every sport? Doesn't every sport require loyalty, dedication, pride, respect and wisdom? Of course. Wrestling isn't the only sport out there that requires those qualities. In our community, basketball, football and volleyball are major sports, and are highly looked upon. How much attention would wrestling get? If you look at how many students our school has, that just doesn't make the cut for a wrestling team. So far, the only interest I've seen in wrestling for this school is from the author of the editorial I'm opposing. Wrestling isn't that special of a sport. It's just like the other sports out there. In my opinion, we wouldn't have enough people to participate in this sport to keep it up and running in our small community. If someone really wants to participate in wrestling, doesn't Sheridan have a team? They aren't that far away, and people who want to participate would most likely benefit more from an experienced team.

Final Editorial
Have you ever had your hours at work cut so badly that you just want to rant it all out? I thought only working from ten to four was bad, but now I'm only scheduled to work 3 hours a day and then I get sent home early? That's kind of ridiculous. What is this, an ode to the recession? Sure, I can't run the fryers or even think of touching the meat slicer, but I can do cleaning and things like that. Give me a cleaning list; I don't really care. I just want to be able to make more money than I have been. I'm only 15, but I've been working there since August of 2008. Almost 7 months to be exact. I've been there longer than most people, but I have less priority, if you would call it that. I know that I can't touch the fryers or a knife longer than my index finger, but I can clean. There's always cleaning to do in a fast food restaurant, right?
The recession could be the thing causing my cut back hours. People don't eat out as much now that they don't have as much money, simple math, right? That could very possibly be the answer as to why my hours have been cut; and scheduled to only work three hours a day, then getting sent home after only two hours of work. Honestly, the whole idea is getting old. Working limited hours then getting sent home early doesn't help the fact that I still have to pay for car insurance every month and other things. I believe that my hours getting cut is most likely the product of 1) a bad economy, 2) this recession and 3) I'm simply not old enough to do a lot when we are busy. But is it my fault that I'm only 15? No, of course not. I am a hard worker, and there are always other things that I can do instead of running the front cash register. Once I get my cleaning lists done, I'm out of there most of the time. Hours being cut like this doesn't help anyone that still has to pay for things, like insurance or clothes every now and then. A little money is always helpful.

Store Review: Bealls in Mesquite, NV
Bealls. Ever heard of it? You probably haven't considering the only one I've seen was in Mesquite. It's a clothing store for teenagers, adults and children down in Mesquite, Nevada. I got to do some shopping there while on my trip to Mesquite. It's a nice store. The prices are reasonable, and they had a lot of cute clothes there. It's almost like a mix of JC Penney's and Macy's, or some other department store like that. They had a nice cosmetics counter, and lots to choose from clothes-wise.
The staff was very friendly and were very helpful. That was a positive thing about the store. They definitely had a lot to choose from, and a lot of cute clothes that caught my eye. The prices ranged from about $10 to maybe $30 or $40 at the most. It was pretty inexpensive. They had some big designer brands, such as Apple Bottom, all for reasonable prices. I had ended up buying about 5 shirts there, and they're all very cute. They have pretty much anything for anyone around the teenage age. They also had clothes for adults and children, all of them also very nice. They had a lot of the latest styles, and most of the clothes would interest anyone who walked into the store.
I realy likes the layout of the store. Right when you walked in, you were greeted by the friendly staff. To the left was the boy's and men's clothes, to the right was the women's and teenager's clothes, and in the back was the shoes. I didn't pay much attention to the back or the left side of the store. My grandma and I had visited the store to do some shopping before I had to come back to Wyoming. We went straight to the Teen section. They had a lot of stuff on sale, which I thought was great. It's always nice to go into a new store and find that about 75% of the store was on clearance. Especially when a lot of the clothes are big name brands, that helps a lot. Having a lot of stuff on sale makes it easier to buy cute clothes for a small price, which helps if you are on a budget.
I thought that Bealls wasa great store to visit. I had a lot of fun while I was shopping in there. The layout of the store was great and very homey, if you could call it that. The staff was very welcoming, which is always nice. They were very helpful in helping you find the right size of clothing, and of course, the type of clothes that you were looking for. I had a lot of fun there. It was nice to just go relax and do some shopping while I was on vacation. There were a lot of nice clothes there, and all for relativley cheap prices that a lot of people could afford. I really enjoyed that the atmosphere of the store was welcoming and it wasa very relaxing place to go.
