Class Of 2016 Countdowns, Class Comps, and Cool memories

This year's graduating class has been through a ton together! Way back in Intermediate

School, we formed connections that have helped keep partial sanity a reality over the past 6

years. In 8th grade we watched our older siblings and hero's win back to back championships

against D-hills.

When we finally reached the high school, we still had some bonding experiences to go

through. As sophomores, we gathered as a tiger family and supported Brian Scott’s loved

ones after his passing. As Juniors, we survived our school’s first ever lockout. We also beat

the class of 2015 at class comps, so you know, we’re kind of a big deal. At Senior Sunrise,

memories were made that we will carry with us throughout the rest of our lives. The walls

that normally separate us (if they be shyness, differing beliefs, or just a lack of opportunity)

fell and we were able to talk and laugh as the friends we ought to be.

Now as seniors we continue to grow, become better friends, and be better examples.

When asked how he felt about our class, Jody said, “You’ve taken your chosen theme [Every1

United] and you've run with it. You have such a great group of kids who are so willing to do

good. You guys have so much spirit! We've never had to help you guys cheat in order to win

class comps. You excel in everything you do! Your class proved that our school CAN get good

Sage scores. As your principal, I'm extremely proud of

the class of 2016!”

We are officially on the downhill stretch. With just

over one quarter left in our high school experience,

now is the time to prove that we are the greatest class

to ever graduate from HHS! As you go through these

last months of school, let the underclassmen see you

for the great young man/woman that you are. Leave a

thank-you note to a teacher that influenced you, be a

friend to someone from the younger classes, help out

the janitorial staff by cleaning up some of your own

dang messes! And don’t forget to sing as many High

School Musical songs as you can, because your chanc-

es to do so are dwindling.

Although this year's executive council has been

overwhelmingly successful, the time has come

to elect a new group of leaders for our house!

The student body narrowed it down from 32 to

14. From there, the final 14 were split into 2

teams; The red team and the black team. These

teams were put to the test to see how they act

around others while being thrown into many

different leadership opportunities. On Tuesday,

the red team had the task of feeding the school.

They showed up with cookies and other sweets

and knocked that task out of the park! On that

same day, the black team was designated to

feed the current executive council. They took

them over to Derrick Bunns home for a delicious

luau. For the final 14, Wednesday seemed to

come before Tuesday was over! Black team held

another luau, but this time fed the entire school!

It was a slam dunk! The red team shuttled this

year's exec over to a meeting house where they

had a “Fiesta Luau.” Thursday was right

around the corner and the stress levels were as

high as ever! They would be having lunch with

the current Exec. Council as well as being inter-

viewed by a hand picked board of staff members

here at Hurricane High. All that was left for the

top 14 was to perform their dance, show their

video, and do their individual skit in Friday's

assembly. Not hard right? Wrong! This is the

hardest part of the week! They must stand up in

front of the student body and faculty to do some-

thing that is out of every person's comfort zone!

Next thing they knew it was Friday night and

time for the inaugural dance! With tension lev-

els off the charts, it was time to announce the

2017 Hurricane High Executive Council! Those

who made it are: Morgan Penrod, Natalia

Lance, Summer Stratton, Ellie Eves, Jordan

Katzenbach, Derrick Bunn, and Jacob Carr!

Way to go all of those who tried out! Congrats to

this year's new Executive Council.

On May 30th through June 3rd, the class of 2016 will be adventur-

ing through the Pacific on a Carnival cruise! The ship has free 24

hour ice cream machines, room service, karaoke, dancing, pools

and hot tubs, 9 hole mini-golf, a water slide, live entertainment,

and more! Laura Stirland exclaimed, “The senior cruise is going to

be so much fun! I cannot wait for the adventures and memories I

will make before our senior class goes its separate ways.” The

cruise will depart from Long Beach California and continue to zip

through the waters where it will arrive at Catalina Island. After

spending a day on the island swimming, hiking, and biking, the

seniors will load back up and head out to sea. Next stop, Ensena-

da! Ensenada is near the Mexico / U.S border and is packed with

fun things to do. Seniors can take the opportunity to go snorkeling

or be a little more active and go surfing at one of it’s many beauti-

ful beaches. There are many restaurants and shopping areas near

the port of Ensenada. A real adventure is packed in the surround-

ing mountains where you can go ziplining! The cruise will then

return to

With the school year coming to an end, many are preparing for

their life after high school. These decisions are crucial for shaping

the rest of your life. Some will go to colleges and universities, while

others may work or even choose to serve a mission for their church.

Landon Barker has decided to serve a mission and was called to

Chile, Santiago where he will be for the next two years. Landon has

stated, “I am excited to go serve the people of Chile and I can’t wait

for the memories I will make and the lessons that I will learn.”

Many lessons will be learned as students take the next step in be-

coming adults. Matthew Arscott is preparing to go to Utah Valley

University where he will pursue his dreams of becoming a pilot.

When asked why he wanted to become a pilot, Matthew said,

“Being a pilot has always been something I have aspired to do,

traveling the world and meeting new people, experiencing the new

cultures, eating new foods; it has always stood out to me as some-

thing I love.” No matter what you choose to do after high school, do

it well. Become the best at what you do because there is more yet to

come!

Biolife has been an institution of saving lives for many

years. For those of you that don't know what Biolife is,

it is a medical organization where people 18 years and

older can donate plasma from their blood, which can

save many lives. Plus, you get paid for doing it. Donat-

ing plasma can be very helpful to poor high school stu-

dents. Plasma is the pale yellow liquid portion of your

blood that can be easily replaced by the body. It con-

sists mainly of water and proteins, which help your

body control bleeding and infection. This plasma is

used for treatment of many different dangerous dis-

eases and wound healing. We are lucky here in south-

ern Utah because we have one of these life saving fa-

cilities less than 30 mins away in St. George, right

next to Costco. Many are scared to give blood or to be

poked by needles, but at Biolife they have very skill

phlebotomists who are trained to make it as fast and

pain free as possible. When asked why he doesn't go to

donate plasma,

Lucas Stout said,

“I don't have

time, plus I can't

get over my fear

of needles. . . Oth-

er than that,

there’s not a good

enough reason to

not go; other than

I'm lazy.” All of

you that are 18 or

older, and need a

couple more dol-

lars in your wal-

let, don't forget

you have cash in

your veins.

Have you ever waited so long to do an important assign-

ment, that you're working frantically all day to have it

turned in before midnight? Well, this my friends is called

“Procrastination”. It’s a horrible tendency, disease, habit, or

whatever you want to call it. Either way, it’s a horrible

thing to get caught up in for a couple different reasons. For

one, it causes so much stress that by the time you're done,

it’s one of life’s greatest reliefs. Correct me if I’m wrong, but

there is no worse feeling of having a 5 page paper due by

midnight and the clock shows 9:30. Why wait till the night

it’s due to begin the paper? Is it because you told yourself

“I’ll do it tomorrow”, or “It’s not too hard, I have 3 weeks to

do it”. Well, if you haven’t found out the hard way already,

telling yourself that is just a blatant lie. Kylee Cianfarano

says, “I procrastinate a ton! It’s just so easy to do. Like I

will be watching T.V. and remember I have an essay or an

assignment due in a couple days and I will just say that I’ll

do it tomorrow. Then I’ll end up running around trying to

get it done the night before!” So, me being a nice guy, I’m

going to share a few tips with you guys to help with procras-

tination. Do a little bit of your project every day till it’s

done. Pick a day of the week where you’re going to do it, but

make sure it’s a week away of when it’s due just in case you

don’t finish the whole thing in one day, you’ll still have time

to finish. Sadly, most of you will ignore these tips and con-

tinue to procrastinate, which is fine, but just know I warned

you. Remember, if

you’re going to pro-

crastinate and wait

till the night it’s

due, drink plenty

of Redbull, soda, or

any other caffein-

ated beverages to

keep yourself go-

ing.

Student Life

HOSA is a club across the state and the nation. It is for students who love the human body or want to go into a health

profession. With being a HOSA member or officer, you are able to go and compete against other HOSA students in the

state. The HOSA advisors are Nicholas Hasenwinkle and Marcus Homer. “State HOSA was a learning experience that

was very fun and entertaining. We had students compete in health-related events and competitions. We even had some

top 10 finishers in the state. “I am proud of our students that participated in the state HOSA . All of them benefited

and learned more about health care professions and what they can do in the future in healthcare.” said Mr. Homer. On

March 17th and 18th, five students went and competed at the state HOSA competition. Amy Ballard, Danion Pozer-

nick, Kira Brown, JoJo Ferguson, and Kaili White. The HOSA state competition was held at the Davis Conference Cen-

ter in Layton Utah. There was around 1400 competitors from high schools and a few colleges across the state all com-

peting for a chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee and compete in the National HOSA competition. “The best part of

State HOSA was the atmosphere. You could tell everybody competing really wanted to do well. “It made the competi-

tions more exciting.” said Danion, the vice president of the HOSA club at Hurricane High. Danion placed in the top 10

for medical reading, and the medical terminology spelling bee. Jojo placed in the top 10 for sports medicine. Danion

also said, “It felt awesome to be in the top 10. Having around 500 competitors in each event made it so getting in the

top ten was not a very easy thing to achieve. It made it worth all the work it took to get there.” All of the competitors

from our school represented Hurricane High well.

Procrastination, why do we do it?

When an individual thinks of tennis, their thoughts im-

mediately tend to shift to the criticising, or degrading

side of the spectrum. This article is here to obliterate that

kind of thinking. While tennis may not be a contact sport,

it is by far one of the most psychologically challenging

sports out there. The team's coach, Mark Manuele, ex-

plains, "A lot of the game is fought by the mind. If a play-

er thinks they're going to do bad, the odds are, they will

do bad. How a player thinks is a key component in how

he or she dominates the other player." Tennis is also very

physically challenging. It may not be as physically de-

manding as football or soccer, but it requires a lot of

speed, agility, and hand - eye coordination. Each point is

played out with short bursts of speed, and can sometimes

result in injury if a player falls, trips, or gets hit by a wild

forehand. Hurricane has been fighting very hard this

year. The varsity, which includes Branson Elison, David

Colson, Christian Morris, Kenneth Behunin, Mason Cur-

tis, Royal Hicken, and Jackson Last, have worked relent-

lessly to fill the shoes of past Regional champions, and

State participants. The county better watch their backs,

because these guys are bringing the Tiger Spirit; and

they won’t stop until they get what they want- Victory.

With the winter sports of basketball and wrestling

over, baseball is finally here with the tryouts finished

and the final boys picked for the team. The seniors

will be Kyle Williams, Thomas Christiansen, Lucas

Stout, Collin Bruggerman, and Nick McDaniel. We

would like to congratulate Coach Jon Homer on being

named the new Boys Baseball head coach for the up-

coming season of 2016 Tiger ball! Baseball has al-

ways been a very popular sport in the United States

because it is the only sport to originate here in Ameri-

ca. Baseball has been the same for years, kicking it

back old school is the way to go with the bats and the

gloves. Everyone is excited to see how the new coach

handles going about being competitive in this very

challenging region. We have no doubt that our Hurri-

cane baseball team will do great. For the past 2

weeks, we have had many teams show up to our

beautiful facility to compete in the Pine view and

Hurricane tournament, Our very own Tigers our now

3-3 on the season and are looking towards a very

bright and amazing season. When asked how he

thinks the team will be, Tyler Mitchell replied “it will

be a very tough region, but i think we will stun a lot

of people and make them think twice about playing

against Hurricane!” Make sure to make it to any and

every baseball game to support our great tiger team!

Lacrosse season has started and continues through May.

The Hurricane Lacrosse team has combined with the De-

sert Hills team because of the lack of people in Hurricane

playing this sport. They have traveled to 2 tournaments

in Las Vegas, Nevada and 2 league games in St. George

Utah, taking home the win for both of them. The lacrosse

team is in the Las Vegas league, traveling there once a

week to play tournaments. The team is expected to con-

tinue to win and progress throughout their season. Mai-

sey Butler, a sophomore here at Hurricane High School

said, “I have been playing lacrosse for 4 years now and I

love it, I especially love how you can be really aggressive.

It is cool how it combines a bunch of sports together to

make one. I just think lacrosse is freaking fun!” While

Hannah Manwearing, also a sophomore at Hurricane

said, “I have been playing lacrosse for 6 years now I like

it because there is always something new to learn and I

like how aggressive it is. I also like the competitiveness

and playing with another school so I am able to meet new

people. I would have to say my least favorite thing would

be the refs though. But over all I am expecting our team

to do great this season.” So if you get the chance make

sure to go support the Hurricane High and Desert Hills

lacrosse team at their games.

Let the Races begin

In the last 10 years, boys track has brought numerous

state championships to Hurricane High. With the amazing

talent that our school has, there is plenty of potential for

us to bring home another state championship for this year.

Coach Prince, the head coach of the boys track team, has

great hopes for our school this year if we can manage to

leave all of our talent out on the track this season. As the

summer session is getting closer and the weather getting

warmer, there is more than one reason to come out, get a

tan, and have fun with your friends. The first track meet

of the season was on March 15, which went very well for

our team. Many of

our runners qualified

for the BYU invita-

tional and for the

state track meet. If

you want to help sup-

On Wednesday, March 16th, several members of choir at

HHS (as well as other schools in southern Utah) went to

Snow Canyon High School for region to qualify for state.

Hurricane High Chamber Choir received a II+, another

II+, and a I- for the songs Il Est Bel Et Bon, If Ye Love

Me, and I Am In Need of Music. Kathy Young, the choir

(and band) teacher, patiently and gracefully directed the

first and last song of the set; while Becky Larkin had the

opportunity to lead the choir in their halfway point. Our

Chamber Choir unfortunately didn’t qualify for state, but

they did splendid, nonetheless. There were also a handful

of solo/ensemble groups from our very own school that did

make it to state. Zoё Thompson said, “My favorite part

was the excitement and listening to the other groups per-

form.” And when asked on her feelings on going to state,

Thompson replied, “I’m nervous and excited, but I’m

ready to go out there and rock

it.” Sarah Mangum said, “I had a

really fun time! Singing up there

was scary, but uniting as a group

in song is an amazing feeling. I

also saw a lot of cute boys from

other schools- I like guys that

can sing!”

There are many different classes in the science depart-

ment here at Hurricane High School. Some of these sci-

ence classes include: Biology, Introduction to Health Sci-

ence, Medical Anatomy and Physiology, Sports Medicine,

Chemistry, and Physics. The teachers of the science de-

partment are, Mr. Hasenwinkel, Mr.Homer, Mr. Vick, Mr.

Johnson, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Christiansen. Maisey But-

tler, a Hurricane High School sophomore said, “I love Biol-

ogy, I love learning about all the different plants and ani-

mals. I especially like how Mr. Hasenwinkel has a fish

tank with all the fish in it, between the plants and the

tank it just makes the class feel more like a biology class-

room and makes it more fun to learn.” Mr. Hasenwinkel, a

Biology and Medical Anatomy and Physiology teacher

said, “I chose to teach because when at college I decided I

didn’t want to go into the different areas of science, some

of them would take too much time and some of them were

just not what I wanted to do. “My favorite thing about

teaching would be the students, they all have their own

unique personalities and learn in different ways.” When

asked what her favorite science class at Hurricane High

was, Paige Van Pelt said, “I would have to say my favorite

science class would be Biology, Sophomore year, taught by

Mr. Homer. He was such a great teacher! I learned so

much from that class and I loved what I was learning. We

also got to dissect frogs and that was way cool!!” Angel

Bulloch, also a senior at Hurricane said, “ My favorite sci-

ence class was definitely Human Biology with Mr. Quilter

(who is now a Biolo-

gy teacher for De-

sert Hills High

School). I took his

class sophomore

year and even

though it was the

hardest class I have

taken, I definitely

learned so much

from it. Mr. Quilter

was a great teach-

er!” The science

teachers here at

Hurricane are all

great!

Every year, Hurricane High School sends of bus full of

actors, student directors, and technicians to represent us

at region and state drama competition. This year’s Spring

Team (as they call themselves) is competing with the

show, ‘Fools’. It’s a show about… well… fools. An entire

village was cursed with unbelievable stupidity, and only

true love can save them. At Region, McKenna Hodge won

‘Best Supporting Actress’ for her role as the mother.

Dylann Eberhard won “Best Cameo” for her appearance

as ‘the door’. There are also many I.E.’s (individual

events) competing this year. The different categories for

I.E.’s are: Classical Scene, Contemporary Scene, Humour-

ous Monologue, Dramatic Monologue, Pantomime, and

Musical Theatre. Hurricane High won 2nd at region and

is now rehearsing so they can win at state. Best of luck to

all those going to Stansbury High School for the state

competition. As they say in the theatre, “Break a leg!”

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22. Worldwide, events

are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first

celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Net-

work, and celebrated in more than 192 countries. In 1970, the first Earth

Day was celebrated in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten

thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities

across the United States. More importantly, it brought 20 million Ameri-

cans out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of

environmental reform. It is now observed in 192 countries, and coordinat-

ed by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, chaired by the first Earth Day

1970 organizer Denis Hayes, according to whom Earth Day is now "the

largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion peo-

ple every year." En-

vironmental groups

have sought to make

Earth Day into a day

of action which

changes human be-

havior and provokes

policy changes.

Has anyone else noticed how everyone seems to be getting haircuts, late-

ly? Several students have been sauntering through the school with snip-

pets of strands severed for the sake of style. Although, there are still

plenty of students that refuse to cut their hair, there are definitely pros

to having it shorter, but there are many things one can do with lengthy

hair that cannot be done so easily if it is short. With longer hair, more

braiding and curling can be done, and ponytails are more feasible. But

with hair from shoulder-length and up, there are far less tangles, and

one can flip it without it hitting someone in the face. When asked what

his preference was, Timothy Lohrey said, “On girls, I really couldn't care

less. It looks good either way. On my hair, I prefer it short, because it's

easier to manage and usually looks slightly better. Long hair is cool too,

though.” Kelly Hastings said, “Short

hair on guys and long hair on me- even

though I hate dealing with my hair, I

like having it.” And finally, Evan En-

nis said, “I prefer long hair, because

there's something special about mov-

ing a strand of loose hair out of a girl's

face. As for boys, unless he's got thick

blonde hair, keep it short. Anything

else looks dirty. For myself, I like it

long enough where it curls at the edg-

es, but not long enough that one could

braid it.” As for this author- I prefers

hair long enough that it can be tied

into a lasso and used to snare unsus-

pecting bystanders.

April Fools' Day is celebrated every year

on April first by playing practical jokes

and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and

their victims are called April fools. Peo-

ple playing April Fool jokes expose their

prank by shouting “April Fool!”. Some

newspapers, magazines, and other pub-

lished media report fake stories, which

are usually explained the next day or

below the news section in small letters.

Although popular since the 19th centu-

ry, the day is not a public holiday in any

country.

As well as people playing pranks on one

another on April Fools' Day, elaborate

practical jokes have appeared on radio

and TV stations, newspapers, web sites,

and have been performed by large cor-

porations. In one famous prank from

1957, the BBC broadcast a film in their

Panorama current affairs series pur-

porting to show Swiss farmers picking

freshly-grown spaghetti, in what they

called the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest. The

BBC were later flooded with requests to

purchase a spaghetti plant, forcing

them to declare the film a hoax on the

news the next day.

With the advent of the Internet and

readily available global news services,

April Fools' pranks can catch and em-

barrass a wider audience than ever be-

fore

Last year Google added a "Pacman

View" to Google Maps, allowing users to

play Pacman along real world streets.

The bell and key were replaced by the

map marker and the Street View

Lunch, For Food? Or For Games?

By: Kolby Ray

Have you noticed how many people use the lunch break to play games on their phones or the school computers? So

many people do this, that there aren’t enough computers for people to go work on assignments. Games are fun, but

why don’t they just wait until they get home? One student at Hurricane High said, “I think they are annoying. When

I need to do homework or print something, there are never any computers, because of the gamers.” But Summer Cor-

nelius said, “I don’t mind them. They are very respectful and are having a good time! They move when they are

asked and as long as they stay respectful they are fine.” Some also play games, such as “Fun-Run” on there phone in

the lunchroom. They can become very loud and competitive but they are definitely enjoying themselves. One of these

gamers said, “After we finish lunch we have nothing else to do so why not play games with our friends. It is a lot

more fun when we are playing against each other at lunch instead of at home.” Everyone has different opinions, but

as long as they are being appropriate and respectful it shouldn’t be a problem!

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on

Volcano Erupts in Alaska

SeaWorld Entertainment announced Thursday that the killer

whales currently living at its facilities will be its last, as it will

stop breeding them immediately and phase out theatrical orca

shows. The move comes nearly three years after SeaWorld came

under pressure for its treatment of killer whales and their trainers

in the documentary Blackfish. The company had already an-

nounced plans to end killer whale shows at its San Diego park fol-

lowing regulatory scrutiny in California. SeaWorld will turn its

attention to "new, inspiring, natural orca encounters" with educa-

tional programs emphasizing enrichment, exercise and health

with its remaining killer whales, CEO Joel Manby said on a con-

ference call. The orca shows will end in San Diego in 2017, while

the San Antonio and Orlando parks will end the shows by 2019.

When asked how she felt about this decision, Mrs. Hall said, “I

have mixed emotions. Getting to see any wild animal up close and

personal is breathtaking. On the other hand, it's kind of sad that

they are kept in cages and aren't in their natural habitat. I don’t

think we should capture them for our own entertainment. Alt-

hough, if it is a rescue type thing where it won’t survive in the

wild, then I think it’s okay to save them.” The company has been

under heavy pressure from animal-rights activists, including Peo-

ple for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other watchdog

groups. There has been 3 deaths of trainers over the last 30 years.

It seems like being in captivity can build up, and cause some ag-

gression from the whales towards the trainers.

Hey there Delilah,

I am having a really hard time trying to stay on top of my homework and school

work. I am so distracted by hanging out with my friends and making high school

fun that I can’t focus. I don’t want to tell my friends I can’t hangout anymore. I

don’t know what to do or how to handle this situation?

-Freaked Out High School Student

Dear Freaked Out High School Student,

It is always great to have fun and hangout with your friends. Try making time spe-

cifically for your school work. If you balance school work and friends you can still

have time to hangout and make your high school years fun. Stay on top of your

work and don’t let yourself fall behind in school.

Hey there Delilah,

I really like this girl but she has been my best friend for years. I am scared that if I

tell her how I feel she will not want to have anything to do with me anymore.

Should I tell her how I feel, or should I keep it a secret and just keep being her friend?

-Best Friend Crush

Dear Best Friend Crush,

Tell her how you feel. It is better to tell her and see how it all works out rather than not telling her

and always wondering what would have happened if you would have. If she is your really close friend

the chance that she is not going to want anything to do with you is very slim. So just be yourself and

let her know how you feel.

Hey there Delilah,

Lately, I’ve noticed my salivary glands are incredibly overactive. It is the weirdest thing! It isn’t just

about food though. You’ve heard people say that they “are drooling over how attractive somebody is”...

well, I really do drool. It’s actually kind of painful, but my doctor says it isn’t anything to worry about.

The thing is, my peers are mocking me because of it. What do I do?

-Drooling Over Boys (literally)

Dear Drooling Over Boys,

First I just want to say I am very sorry you have this problem. If your peers are mocking and making

fun of you I think it is best to start hanging out with different people that love you for who you are. Or

maybe if you just explain to them what the problem is they will understand and stop making you feel

like it is a problem. About the pain part, Tylenol is a great pain medication that may help with that.
