Plainsmen Strike Again

 

Julionna Skinner, Staff Writer

Gillette fell short of making school history on Saturday, May 22nd, after they lost to Laramie 2-0 in double overtime. The Camel girls soccer team have yet to win a state title and were upset by the Plainsmen in the state championship for the second straight year. “It’s like déjà vu and feels the same as last year,” said senior Libby Storie.

            Sophomore Karen Storie added, “It is so frustrating and hard losing in the championship.”

            Others came off the field with a positive look of the game. “We gave it everything we had,” said sophomore Erin Thamm.

            “It was pretty disheartening when we lost, but we all played hard. It just didn’t seem to click,” added junior Missy Schultz. “We were super nervous and just couldn’t calm our nerves.”

            Along with Schultz, Karen Storie, Kayla Corcoran, Angie Benson, Brittany Lacek, and Sheree Small all earned first team All-State. Libby Storie was named second team All-State.

The Camels went 13-3 overall during their season, losing just one game in conference play. “Even though the outcome of the championship game wasn’t what we wanted, our season was very successful,” head coach Carl Matson said. “I’m looking forward to next year.”

The team loses its strength with three seniors leaving. However, plenty of depth with the returning underclassmen almost ensures a great 2011 season.

Senior Send-off

 

Damion Talcott, Staff Writer

In a recent tradition, after graduation, seniors usually attend a “Senior Send-off.” The party is a way for seniors to celebrate their achievements, without having to participate in illegal activities. “It is a way to keep students out of trouble,” said senior Simona Oliveri.

             The party begins on Sunday May 30th at 8:00 PM in the Camplex Wyoming Center, and will end sometime after midnight. The main attraction includes a hypnotist, but also includes fabulous prizes: Blue-ray DVD players, flat screen TVs, iPods, and of course, a car. The prize everyone wants to win is a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Senior Katy Strande has been helping organize the event. “Some people think it’s lame, but last year I went to Senior Sendoff and it was fun.”

            The theme this year is Las Vegas, featuring poker tables, dances, Madden tournaments, and even a game called cornhole. “Everyone loves cornhole,” added Strande.

            With students invited from Wright High School, Westwood, CCHS, and home schools, it’s going to be a big party. Seniors may also bring a friend along too. Organizers have several hundred boxes of pizza, a cotton candy machine, and tasty caramel chocolate cookies.

            “I am excited to go to Senior Sendoff,” said senior Brandon Skinner. “Last time I went, it was fun.” 

            “I can’t wait,” said senior Ethan Dooley. “It’s going to be awesome!”

            The general consensus among the seniors at CCHS is that Senior Sendoff is a great way to spend time with friends and say goodbye.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

As our high school careers come to an end, we start to look back at everything that has happened the last three years of our lives. If we could all go back and do high school all over again, is there something we would do different? If so what would it be?

            Kim Eichenberger said, “If I could go back, I would have taken harder classes.”

            “I would go back and try my best in all my classes so I could get better grades,” said Jenna Waldner.

            Breanna Hoyle said, “I probably would have taken more AP classes.”

            Josh Nodland said, “I would have studied harder for tests and I would not have messed around as much.”

            Similar to Nodland, Matt Cady said, “I would not have avoided my homework as much.”

            Chris Fink said he would not have skipped as much, while Damion Talcott said he would have had more fun.

            “If I could go back, I would have gotten to know more people in my class,” said Sarah Scott.

            While having mostly college classes this year, Leslie Peterson said, “I would have graduated at semester because I only have a couple classes at the school this semester and it is pointless.”

            While smiling, Krisi Wester said, “I would have put the moves on Mr. Winland before graduation.” She also states that she would have been nicer to the lunch ladies because she feels that they are wonderful.

            Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Whether we wish we could go back and change something about high school, we can now focus on our bright futures.

Senior Pranks

As the year comes to a close, seniors start thinking about the schemes that will mark their time in CCHS history.  While planning pranks, seniors beware, as Principal Larry Steiger warns, “You will not walk if you do a senior prank.”  However, there have been many senior pranks in the past, only few have been remembered.

 Librarian Mitzie Neugebauer stated, “Last year they stole all the clocks, but we didn’t notice the kids taking them.  Also I remember the kids put chickens in the book drop of the library one year.”  In order for seniors to be remembered their pranks have to be clever, yet not harmful.

Assistant principal, Kelly Morehead remembers a year where 3 chickens, numbered 1,2, and 4, were let loose in the halls, and everyone was looking for the “missing chicken” number 3.

Many teachers did not recall doing a senior prank while they were in high school.  Although Mitzie Neugebauer did not participate in a prank, she implies, “When being an on-coming senior, the graduating seniors would throw you into the river.  It was more of a tradition in the school I graduated from.”

The most memorable senior prank at CCHS, according to staff, was when Humphrey the camel was stolen and hung on the overpass over Highway 59.  This prank was harmful to our CCHS image and was frowned upon.  While being harmful, the prank was very much remembered, but for the wrong reasons.

            Senior Pranks do not have to happen in order for a class to be remembered, and if put into action, they should not be inappropriate, destructive or harmful. There are good and bad memories of these schemes and they will be taken down into history, thanks to our CCHS alumni.

The Future

Ten years ago, the members of our class might’ve been rushing to finish their Rocket Math, hanging out on the twirly slide, or listening to N’Sync. Now, ten years later, all we can focus on is our future. The majority of seniors have their careers on their minds.

It seems that the medical field is a popular one among the young women of our class. Nicole Hoffmann has specific plans: “If I’m not settled down, I want to be working as a traveling nurse.” In this case, the next decade of her life will be filled with school, work, and relationships.

Along the same lines was Callie Wilson “I hope to have graduated from college and have earned my Registered Nurse licensure, been to Africa to provide health care to the natives and be living on a farm in Montana, married to a cowboy.”

Dominique Kibler hopes to be starting a family while working with                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           professional athletes as a sports medicine doctor.

Straying away from the healthcare field, Cody Friedlan said, “I see myself having an MBA, living with my family in the suburbs of a bigger city, and working for a large company.”

Damion Talcott’s future seems a little less structured, as he plans on living wherever the opportunities take him.

Gabby Bazemore wants to be focusing on starting a family and planning a wedding.

So, wherever any of our paths take us, we’ll always be Campbell County High School’s class of 2010.
