ast is used to having clubs run by students and

teachers, but recently there has been a new addition amongst these groups.

The FCA, or Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is an after school group who meets once or twice a month. Christian athletes can join to share their faith with fellow students.

The mission of the FCA is to present coaches and athletes with the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, and to serve him in their relationships and the fellowship of the church.

The vision the FCA

has is to impact the world through the influence of coaches and athletes.

Sophomore Katelynn Cox, who is on the FCA leadership team, was one of the students who started the FCA at East.

“Me and Maggie Long knew people from church camp and they had FCAs at their school, so we wanted to start one here,“ Cox said.

Monday April 15 was the most recent FCA huddle, where around 25 to 30 students attended.

“We had pancakes and eggs, played fun games, and listened to a great sermon from guest speaker

Joel Swanson,” senior Abbey Mendenhall said.

At every meeting there is a new speaker who gives a different sermon. Guest Speakers have included

Coach Jamel Crawford, Ric Powell, Joel Swanson, and a few others.

T h e r e have been many posters around East

promoting FCA huddles, as well as promotions through Facebook and Twitter.

If you’re looking for a way to share your faith with fellow students, keep your eyes and ears open for further information on future FCA events.

knew I wanted to find something where I could make a difference, trans-forming this school is the biggest challenge, by far, of my career,” Thomp-son said in an interview.

The school started mak-ing drastic changes when the new principal, teachers, and higher expectations were brought to John Mc-D o n o g h . Test scores have gone up, violence has gone down, and the stu-dents now know that their teachers truly care about them being successful.

In 2011 the Walker por-tables right down the street

ights, disrespectful students, angry com-munity members, and

even shootings are some of the things you might see if you tune in to the Oprah Winfrey Network on Satur-day nights at 8 p.m. Black Board wars is a new real-ity television show about a newly transformed charter school John McDonogh High School. Before the school was turned into a charter school they had fail-ing academic performance, and a history of violence.

Watching Principal Mar-vin Thompson guide these students in the right direc-tion, and put all of his time in energy into this school is very inspiring. “I always

from East was turned into a charter school. A former DMPS charter school em-ployee described a charter school as a school that exists because the public sector has difficulty being efficient and standardized. He said a charter school is much like a hybrid between public and

p r i v a t e s c h o o l s . They can r e c e i v e f u n d i n g t h r o u g h

the state, like public schools as well as private funding from other do-nors like private schools.”

Some of the students who went to the charter school had to transfer to East

when the school closed in 2012. “My experience at the charter school was very dif-ferent than East. Most of the classes were very easy, and it seemed like a hang out more than school. In the end, I’m very glad I am now going to East,” sopho-more Joseph Leach said.

The former employee said the charter school failed because there were a lot of big expectations that could not be met un-der the public school um-brella. Also, the school was only given two years to op-erate and was riddled with other issues that detracted from teaching students. It can take several years to get a school up and run-

ning to peak performance and the start up for many charters takes 3-5 years.

Any student who chooses to attend a charter school is welcome; there are no regulations for who can at-tend. Many Americans think that more charter schools should be spread around the country, and others think they are not help-ing students in any way.

Whether you are for or against charter schools, you should all tune into the Oprah Winfrey Network and watch a school turn its bad reputation around.

“I loved my biology teacher; I loved my biol-ogy class,” Frommelt said about teaching science.

Even as she moved on to col-lege at UNI, she still had an im-mense amount of fascination for the subject. In addition to science, math and art were fa-vorites of hers as well. Howev-er, in the end science won and

or the past 18 years, East High School has allowed this Nebras-ka-born woman to

express her love for science through teaching students. Whether it be Botany, AP Biol-ogy, or Zoology, she has been making her classes interesting and exciting in every way she can. From cracking a simple joke here and there to con-vincing her students that she really is a nerd, Mrs. Frommelt makes class simply unique.You could say she was destined to be a science teacher from the

she became a teacher, starting out at Weeks Middle School where she taught for two years.

“I enjoy the subject mat-ter the best; it never gets bor-ing,” Frommelt said when asked what her favorite part about teaching was. “I like to make my classes half-way enjoyable and exciting.”

Part of the reason Frommelt is an effective teacher is due to the fact that she connects with high school students. Former students can consent that Frommelt is an excep-tional and enjoyable teach-

er, even a favorite to some.“Mrs. Frommelt treats her

students like family, like her own kids,” Amber Hager, for-mer East student said, “Years later, I still remember her.”

Within minutes of meet-ing Mrs. Frommelt, most people are able to realize her passion for science but don’t know much else about her until taking the time to get to know her. To read more of Mrs. Frommelt’s story visit easthighpublica-tions.com

een moms; often portrayed in the media as irrespon-

sible, and stupid from the mistake. Where girls come from divided and unsup-portive families with unsta-ble relationships with their parents and partner. Usually known as the whores of the school that were too dumb to care if they got pregnant.

East junior Michelle Nouchanthavong is not only an East Scroll staff member, former model, spunky fashionista, animal enthusiast, or standout edu-cated scholar, but also a lov-ing, supportive teen mom.

The soft and quiet junior had everything going for her; she had many oppor-tunities, until the moment she discovered she was pregnant. Nouchanthavong, who was very timid about

the whole situation tried hiding her pregnancy for the whole nine months from friends and family, wearing baggy sweats and hoodies most of the time early in the school year. Once she start-ed showing, she was forced to confess to her parents.

“I texted my mom while we were both at home. I hid it for so long because she would probably want me to abort it and I didn’t want that. She didn’t talk to me for a whole week after that,” Nouchanthavong said.

Throughout all the views on teen pregnancy, Nouch-anthavong believes she breaks the stereotypes; overcoming the obstacles easier than she thought. Her thoughts on teen moms were completely different after she became one herself. “At first I thought ‘Oh,

they’re just girls who don’t watch out for themselves. I would never be in their position.’”

Now that she is a teen mom, her per-spective has dras-tically changed.

“I know it’s not a good look on myself being a teen mom now, but I have to stand up for that. I made a stupid decision and I was smart enough to know better. I felt ashamed of myself, but I don’t regret anything now. Karsen (her son) is the world to me, every-thing about him matters,” Nouchanthavong said.

Unlike many teen par-ents, Nouchanthavong and her boyfriend, junior Kal-vin Leauang have managed to maintain a strong two

months old and they both are attending school regularly here at East, also holding jobs. Now that they are parents, Nouchan-thavong and Leauang have realized with a child comes many responsibilities.

2igh School relationships hardly ever last, let alone middle school relationships. Aneglo Arreloa and Kaylee Hilario-

Bahena are an exception to the rule, and have been dating since fifth grade, and still going strong. They will both be graduat-ing this year, but they believe that they will continue to grow and the end of high school will not be the end of their relationship.

Hstory/Darian Delaney After seven years, couple remains hand in hand

You guys are the longest lasting couple at East. Why do you think you guys have lasted and other couples haven’t?

Kaylee: We have known each other since second grade and grew up together. We really understand each other.

Aneglo: I’m truly myself around her and I don’t try to act like someone I’m not. It’s hard to find someone you feel comfortable with at such a young age, so we just got lucky.

Do you think you will be able to hold the relationship that you have held for so long?

Kaylee: I moved away for two years and we still dated, so I don’t think distance will ever be an issue.

Aneglo: There have been so many challenges that we have gone through, and we have overcome all of those challenges so I think we can make it work.

What do you think will be the hardest part of maintaining your relationship after high school?

Kaylee: Finding time to spend together with our busy schedules.

he past four years have impacted the lives of not only the graduating seniors at East, but the entire world. From small successes to large tragedies, the class

of 2013 has witnessed it all. Graduates are entering a world that has drastically changed from where it was four years ago. The United States has re-elected the first black president and has eliminated a global enemy with the death of Osama Bin Laden. East has also come a long way, welcoming two new principals and implementing challenges and policies to increase attendance. East has had success in athletics and academics. The softball team won the state championship in 2011 and in April East was named one of the top 50 AP schools in Iowa. Through it all, people and communities have created or maintained meaningful relationships.

My body, itting in the chair with sweat streaming down your face, you

are both afraid but excited at the same time. Your heart

pumps once you hear the ‘zzzzz’ of the needle. As the needle gets closer you begin to shake. The needle penetrates

your skin and you try not to yelp in pain. You didn’t think it would feel this way when you said, “I want a tattoo.”

This scenario is etched into the brains

of teenagers daring enough to get tattoos.

Over time tattoos have become popular on kids at younger and younger ages. Although some of the tattoos they get don’t make sense.

“Some teenagers want to get little stupid things. I think teenagers should get

something sentimental; something that has a story,” junior Cindy Vela said.

Do teenagers get tattoos for good reasons, or is there something more to it? Dalton Lyons explains the tattoo he has on his arm and the reasoning behind it, “I’ve had two relatives die of breast cancer. The ribbon represents the breast cancer, and the anchor represents strength.”

There are individuals that judge people with tattoos before they understand the reasoning behind them.

“Someone who can be covered in tattoos and piercings can be a lot nicer than someone with nothing. It’s don’t judge a book by its cover, basically,” Vela said.

The reason teenagers with tattoos may be looked down on is because of discrimination against tattoos in general. The

tattoos you have are a part of you, and you shouldn’t be discriminated against just because of the way you look.

“Tattoos are just a way to express yourself. Just be yourself,” junior Skiler Vanhouang said.

Expressing yourself through tattoos can be similar to expressing yourself through art, music, or even the clothes you wear. In a normal day you don’t see someone discriminating against another person because of what they drew on a piece of paper, or what music they listen to. Students live among teenagers strong enough to wear their hearts on their sleeves. They took the chance to show themselves to the world. Will you take the chance?

teubenville drew international attention after two members of the

football team were recorded and photographed raping a sixteen year old girl on Aug. 11, 2012. Several teenagers who witnessed the rape took photos and put them on social media, causing uproar around the world.

The victim testified in court that she had way too much to drink that night and doesn’t remember the six hour period in which the rape occurred. She woke up the next morning in a house that she didn’t recognize and no memory of the events of the night before.

Out of 300 people including peers and classmates who tweeted, retweeted, and put pictures on instagram of the intoxicated teenager…not one of them

reported anything to the police. 50 percent of East High students say they would report something illegal that they saw on the internet.

“If I saw an inappropriate picture online I would report it to the police or to the school. No one should take pictures, let alone put them on the internet where the whole world can see. I would do the right thing and make sure the pictures were taken off social network sites,” junior Kayla Christine said.

Some members of the community blame the victim for her own rape, and casting a negative light on the football team. The support was overwhelming for the two football players, and

“Eat right, or you’re in trouble. You have to exercise which includes walking for about 30 minutes a day, and doing other produc-tive exercises. Surround yourself with good people that work out and do things that could help you stay in shape.” –Willer, softball coach, PE Teacher

In order to be a healthy person you have to have the right mentality. You have to actually want to be fit and in shape. Not only do you have to do physical things in staying in shape but you have to be able to use mental and social skills as well.

“Go through with the plan. If you follow through with staying fit, you’re going to get results. Work on your cardio and eat right.” – Coach Schoon, weightlifting, football coach, track coach

“I stay involved in sports all year round and have a daily workout plan I do. I try to do something active for at least 45 minutes a day and watch my diet. Eating right and being healthy is significant as an athlete.” – Christina Syhavong, 12

When it comes to being healthy and fit it’s the little things you do every day that can make a difference. Drink lots of water, get lots of rest, eat healthy, and exercise as much as you can. Your body doesn’t depend on itself; it also depends on you and your will-ingness to stay fit and healthy.

as they were drafted into the NFL on Apr. 25-28. The NFL draft was held in Radio City Music Hall. Your team’s future depend on how well they draft. Here are the biggest winners and los-ers of the 2013 NFL draft. The biggest winners of the draft are the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Cincin-nati Bengals, and the St. Louis Rams. These teams drafted the best because they covered all their areas of need and drafted the best players available. The Minnesota Vikings managed to get three first round picks on great players and that is always going to be a great draft. One of the biggest los-ers however was the Chicago Bears who reached for an offensive lineman in the first round, in which they could of easily got in the second round in-stead of picking up one of the great players that were still there for the tak-ing. In the next rounds they drafted two linebackers to solidify an already top ranked defense and ignored a very shaky offense that lacks talent other than Brandon Marshall.
