Recently, CFHS counselor Susan Langan received the honor of being Iowa School Counselor of the Year.

“To receive this award is very humbling, and I am very grateful to be able to serve as a great counselor. I couldn’t have done it without the support of the high school,” Langan said. “Many have a misinterpreta-tion on what a school counsel-or actually is. It isn’t just talking to students about college. Our job is nonstop running every-where helping students and representing Cedar Falls High School. But, I’m always glad to be here working.”

Langan has been a counsel-or at Cedar Falls for 22 years, and during her time, she has helped and impacted many lives.

She is well known for her persistent smile. In the hall-ways, she greets students at any moment she has and is al-ways the one willing to step up and help anyone out to make their day.

Senior Matt Turcotte, said, “Mrs. Langan shows love and enthusiasm every day towards our school.”

Langan makes the transi-tion from junior high to high

school a comfortable transi-tion. Senior Durrell Jackson said, “She is fun to be around and always has a positive atti-tude. Sophomore year she was always helping me transition into high school.”

Many faculty at Cedar Falls are grateful for her works as well. Erin Gardner, another CFHS counselor, said, “Mrs. Langan definitely brings pas-sion as she loves her job as a school counselor. I have learned a lot from her since I began my career here. Mrs. Langan lives, eats and breathes school counseling. I have not meet anyone more passionate about their career.”

The CFHS annual food drive has finally come to an end with the results of 18,674 pounds of food being provided by our own staff and student body. All of the food collected will be sent to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank to help feed over 22,000 families in need.

The food bank was able to receive 34,346 pounds of food total from all the schools com-peting against each other. Ce-dar Falls High School collected around 54 percent of the food and gained 1st place in the food drive competition, win-ning $1,000 in doing so.

Guidance Counselor Erin Gardner, who helps run stu-dent senate, said she was more

than satisfied with how much food was collected. “I think we did awesome,” she said. “We collected lots of peanut but-ter, lots of fruit and lots of cans of meat, which are things that are necessities. People can get food like cans of green beans and corn at the store, but that

won’t necessarily fill them up, so they need things that have more protein and are a little more expensive at the store. We’ll be able to provide the families with those kinds of food.”

Gardner said she believes that we got as many pounds of food as we did because of how much we worked hard on promoting it. “It just wasn’t the high school. It was all of us working together,” she said. “We were able to get all of the schools in our district to help us, and we are so thankful.”

Even with the strong lead in the contest, Cedar Falls High school didn’t manage to reach the 20,000 pound goal origi-

nally planned. Nonetheless, the school is planning to ex-tend the goal to an even larger number for next year’s food drive in order to collect those 20,000 pounds of food.

Shortly before the end of the food drive, student senate had its own event where mem-bers went door-to-door in their neighborhoods on Halloween to trick-or-treat for food cans to help add to the CFHS col-lection. Senior Drew Stensland was one of the participants of the trick-or-treating event and said, “The results seemed very encouraging. Although we weren’t able to reach our goal of 20,000 pounds of food, it was still a huge outpouring of

support from the community.” Stensland also made a point

on why this food drive was so important for us to participate in. “People all over our com-munity go hungry every day, and we have to work to make sure these people get the food they so desperately need,” Stensland said. “Some people don’t realize how important it is. The people who use the Food Bank could be your neighbor or a friend of yours from school. It isn’t just an issue somewhere else. It is an issue that we need to confront, and one that we have helped to confront with our work on the food drive .“

CF wraps up food drive with over 18,000 pounds“We were able to get all of the schools in our district to help us, and we are so thankful.”

All of us are going to be out of high school at one point or another, which means that we should all take some time on considering what exactly we want to do after we graduate. For many of us, it’s attending university or college. However, stu-dents making the decision to continue their educations should expect a huge amount of pressure from both the schools and the adults around them.

For starters, the average tuition to go to an in state college in 2014 is about $8,893, which pales in comparison to the av-erage tuition of $30,094 to attend a private college. It would take working 19 hours a week at minimum wage for a year in order to pay for this school tuition at a state school. That does not include room, board, books or money for the other con-cerns of life.

Many adults may not un-derstand just how tired stu-dents feel about paying for their tuition since back in 1970s, the average tuition for an undergraduate school was about $2,350, meaning that teenagers back then had to work for a significantly less amount of time to pay for school. Yet adults still seem to criticize this generation of teenagers as lazy.

Another stressful part about the college process is decid-ing what to major in or what career to have when finished with school. Several students already know what they want to do for their futures, but the same thing definitely can’t be said for others.

Deciding what to do for the rest of life is obviously a pro-cess that takes time for many, and rushing teenagers while they try to decide only makes the process more difficult for them. They might feel so rushed that they’ll end up picking a career pathway that they don’t really enjoy because they didn’t consider their interests.

All we’re asking from some adults is to go a little easier on us when we’re applying for colleges. We’re just about to enter a whole new chapter of our lives, and it’s not the easiest thing in the world to adjust to.

We’d definitely appreciate some support and sympathy from you, but in the end, this is something that we should all be able to handle on our own like the adults we are growing into.

ANDERSON By Editor-in-Chief Austin

We see the big picture; just give us time to paint it

Many adults may not under-stand just how tired students feel ...

The score was 45-7, an ab-solute blowout. Backups were in and even die hard Carolina Panther fans were turning their TVs off as their beloved foot-ball team was getting crushed at the mercy of the Philadelphia Eagles on national television on “Monday Night Football.”

So who in his right mind would choose to watch the fi-nal quarter of this absolutely gut wrenching, abysmal, de-pressing Panther offense try to score against an Eagle defense that collected nine sacks, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions, including one re-turned for a touchdown?

Me.I laid in my bed in disbe-

lief on Sunday night staring at my iPhone as the voices of Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth uttered commentary in the background as they desperate-ly tried to come up with some-thing to say as the Bears and Packers Sunday night game was finishing with a score of 55-14.

Coming into the week I was so confident with my team, a six win and three loss team tied for first place in the division. The opponent was a 3-6 team that seemed to give up on his season. I felt puzzled, lost and let down as I gazed upon my screen. My fantasy football team wasn’t just losing to a guy who’s lethargic game plan had two players on bye weeks in his starting lineup, meaning they wouldn’t even play. I was get-ting blown out.

After the fantasy football gossip seeped through the hallways on Monday morning, I chalked this one up as a loss as I was down by 32 even though I still had the Eagles defense and special teams to play. My high-est scorer of the day had scored 18 points, so I didn’t put much faith in getting 33 more for the win.

I got home late on Monday night and was scrolling through my Twitter feed when I saw that the Eagles had just returned a Cam Newton interception for a touchdown. I optimistically checked the score just in case

there was any chance of come-back and couldn’t believe my eyes. I was down just one point 103-102. Moments later Darren Sproles returned a punt for a touchdown, and I had just done the improbable. I was winning.

I had a four point lead slashed down to one after a Newton to Kelvin Benjamin touchdown early in the fourth.

After an Eagles punt, the Panthers got the ball with seven minutes left. They were down 45-14, but my eyes were glued to the TV, hoping and even praying for one more defen-sive stop. Newton sat back in shotgun formation on third and 19. One more stop and I would win the game. Benjamin broke open across the middle of the field, caught the pass in the endzone and broke my heart; 40 yards through the air, his second score of the night. My one point lead turned into a one point loss, and I was dev-astated.

Many of the estimated 30 million fantasy football play-ers in the United States won or lost their game on that garbage time touchdown against back-ups. But that’s fantasy football.

The NFL is driven by money. The average NFL team is worth $1.4 billion, and with 32 NFL teams, that adds up to a league worth $45 billion. Millions are handed out to players, and tick-ets cost hundreds. For the 30th straight year, the NFL is the most popular sport in America, and a lot of that has to do with fantasy football.

How can a simple hobby have an effect on a multi-billion dollar industry like the NFL?

Fantasy football is all about scoring. Now with an entire channel dedicated to watch-ing teams score, NFL Redzone, fans have much easier access to

watch their fantasy players rack up touchdowns.

The NFL has also made the actual game more scoring ori-entated with rule changes that benefit the fantasy football player. Statistics have evolved to find any potential insight a player can have to help win the game.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is actually a fan of fantasy football and likes how it helps the league. “Even if your team isn’t playing well, you’re still following your fan-tasy league or you’re following the Red Zone or your mobile device,” Goodell said in an interview to a New York radio station. “So it has created more interest for a longer period of time.”

Fantasy football has changed the game, but now fantasy football might be un-dergoing a change. Normally fantasy leagues would draft before the season started, and that would be your team for the remainder of that season. Now with the emergence of daily games where you are able to choose your team for one select day, the fantasy realm is beginning to evolve. After the NHL partnered with DraftKings, a daily game website, the NBA partnered with a competitor, FanDuel.

While betting on fantasy sports is illegal in Iowa and four other states, there are players across the country who have struck it rich thanks to this “hobby.”

While the world of fantasy sports may be a fake collection of players, the millions of dol-lars in revenue produced are thriving and as real as it gets.

AHRENHOLZ By Copy Editor Annebeth

This fall, the high school is slowly starting to advance a new way of teaching math. Some of the teachers in the math department have started using a new method called flipped math.

It is exactly what it sounds like, “flipped.” Instead of learning the lessons in a tra-ditional class with a teacher teaching each lesson and stu-dents doing the homework on their own time, students in the flipped math classes learn the lesson by watching videos, usually at home, and then do the homework and ask ques-tions in class the next day. It is a new way of going about learning, and so far students and teachers are having mixed feelings on it.

Kristine Urbanek is one of the teachers who has started teaching a flipped math class. The flipped math class that she teaches is Honors Algebra 2 with Trig. She said she’s still determining if she likes it bet-ter than regular math. “It de-pends on the day,” she said.

Urbanek said that one perk to this new type of class is that all students get to work at their own paces. “I think I get to be a little more individual-ized. I don’t know if it is more productive at this point, but the information that I get from each student is better for me from my point of view. I think each student gets to see it at their own pace.”

Junior Maddy Wright sees this benefit of the class. “I en-joy it a lot more than regular math because if I’m confused about a certain part of the topic, I can rewatch the videos

In a new algebra class, math teacher Rich Strike is able to team with special needs teacher Kara Strike to individually instruct each student, and math teacher Ethan Wiechmann is able to quickly provide feedback to each student’s progress as every student moves an individual pace.

as much as I want, and it personally helps me understand math a lot better.”

As of right now Urbanek said she thinks it is 50/50 if students like the class or not, and she isn’t sure if it will be-come more common within other math classes. “It is a video-based class, and I don’t think it applies to every class.”

Rich Strike’s Al-gebra 1 class is also trying out self-paced math, and so far he seems to really like it. However, Strike emphasized that his class is not purely a flipped class.

“The idea started from flipped math, but that’s not what it is at all. It’s almost like a flipped class, but everything is done in class. You watch the videos and then work on the worksheets and ask questions. They can ask questions, and we can answer them,” Strike said.

There is a minimum pace that students have to meet to pass, but many students can work ahead if they are able to learn at a faster pace. Some students will complete the whole Algebra 1 course, when this was a originally an algebra fundamentals class. There are also three teachers available in the classroom offering in-dividual help to the students: Strike, math teacher Ethan

Weichman and special needs teacher Kara Hulse.

Teachers from other de-partments are showing inter-est in this new way of teaching and could start offering more self-paced classrooms. But it doesn’t work for all subjects. Also, no changes will be made right away.

“I think the program needs to go a couple more years to see if it is a true reflection of our students’ learning. That won’t be done until some re-search has been proved. We want to make sure it’s help-ing our students learn,” Hulse

said.So far, Strike is a big fan.

“This program has made my year because I have always struggled with this class be-cause I get such a wide range of students. With a wide range of students, you get stuck; some are going way too slow, and some are going way too fast. I really enjoy it because we have a chance to help each individual student with exactly what they strug-gle with,” Strike said.

Students also have an op-timistic perspective on the fundamentals class.

“I think that it’s more pro-ductive than regular math because if you don’t get something, you can slow down more if you’re not get-ting something more than in a regular math class if you’re not getting something,” sopho-more Kaylee Olsen said.

Sophomore Taylor Allen agreed. “I like it a lot better because it’s self-paced, and you don’t have to keep up with the rest of the class. It’s easier.”

After a successful season last year, the speech team is looking to have another suc-cessful campaign with the large group musical theater per-forming three very well known shows.

Last season, the team had 12 kids go to State, which is the highest competition for speech.

Junior Sydney Coloff en-joyed her time on the team last season and went to State.

“My group, group mime, made it to State, and so did a lot of other groups, so I think that we did well,” Coloff said.

“I love speech. I’ve been in it for three years, and I always have fun.”

Sophomore Aliya Rabune agreed with Coloff.

“Last season was awesome, and everyone succeeded in their own way,” Rabune said.

The main goals for the team are very different from what one may expect.

Assistant coach Natalie Lourens said this season she hopes to have her students trust themselves and the risks that the coaches ask them to take.

“I think young people today

are so afraid of making fools of themselves or too concerned about what others think, and, in my opinion, it is the biggest thing holding our young per-formers back,” Lourens said. “I hope to help our students gain that confidence that I saw last year.”

Coloff said she hopes this season is similar to last season.

“Since I made it to State last year, I’d like to go again,” Col-off said. “But more importantly, I want to have fun and meet new people.”

Lourens also said she hopes that her students get a better

feel for the music this season.“If you don’t believe what

you’re singing and if you don’t believe the musicality that is paving a road under you, your points will not come across to your audience,” Lourens said. “I want all my students to fall in love with what they’re singing.”

Coloff is amped for the up-coming season.

“I’m excited to see what this year will bring and to get to know everyone else in speech,” Coloff said. “We lost a lot of amazing seniors last year, but there are a lot of new students this year as well, and

Speech team warming up for another successful season

ALAM By Online Editor Zuhayr

I think we’ll have success at State.”

Rabune said that speech has touched her life in many positive aspects.

“Speech is a great way to meet new people and get involved. It has changed my life in many positive aspects,” Rabune said. “The thing about speech is that no one cares if you act super goofy and weird, which makes it a whole lot easier to show your true talent and be proud of it and not be ashamed.”

Junior Meghan Hackett was a crucial part for the women’s swim team collect-ing a third place finish at the state swim meet in Marshal-town on Nov. 7 and 8. She swam the fly on the school record breaking 200 medley relay, which is under con-sideration for All-American, meaning it could be one of the 100 fastest times in the country. Indivudally, she also broke the school record in the 100 fly. She is planning to swim in college but hasn’t made a decision on where.

With multiple records being broken and a top three finish, would you consider this a successful season?

Yeah, for sure. We just really worked together great this year and really did it for the team and not ourselves.

What’s the best part about being coached by the legendary Coach Mar-cussen?

He’s a really good coach. He understands us and how to get us working together and working as a team.

With already being a school record holder, what are you hoping for next season?

I still have the 200 IM record that I’m looking at, but it’s kind of a weight off my chest that I broke the records this year, so I don’t have to worry about it next year.

AHRENHOLZ By Copy Editor Annebeth

Besides being good at writ-ing proofs or solving quadratic functions, many of the math teachers at the high school have no anxiety about facing another test that they have in common: a passion for running.

Whether it be running a few miles a week or running a 100-mile race, this department is filled with teachers who love to race down the path. To Joe Brown, running is more than just a hobby. It’s a passion, a love and a challenge he puts himself up to.

Brown ran two years of cross country in high school, swam in college and restarted his running career one year out of college when a buddy of his pursued him for help on train-ing for a race. They trained to-gether for six months for a mar-athon, which then ended up being canceled. They signed up for a second marathon, which also got canceled.

At this time they both read a book called “Tales of an All Night Runner.” After reading this book, Brown’s friend imme-diately signed up for a 50-mile race. Not wanting his friend to run this alone, Brown quickly followed and signed up as well.

About half way through the 50-mile race, Brown’s calf cramped up, but he said his buddy kept him going and he finished the race. “After that it was just a sense of accomplish-ment that kept me going until I found the next challenge,” Brown said.

Brown’s biggest accom-plishment yet is finishing a 100-mile race last April. In training for the 100 miler, he ran a 68-mile Georgia death race only three weeks before on the Ap-palachian Trail.

But his push for the 100-mile race came at a cost. “As soon as I got done, I could not get across the room without

help,” Brown said. He ended up on a cot for five-six hours, with medics trying to get him rehydrated. At one point he tried to stand up and blacked out right in the middle of ev-erything.

But he slowly re-gained every-thing, and eight hours after the race, he was with it enough, and he went to his hotel room. For him, getting through the race was as much mental as physical, if not more. “I was lying down on my bed in my hotel room and could not lift my leg enough to prop it up. I couldn’t mentally do it. During the 19 and a half hours of the race, I didn’t have a problem with moving any part of my body, but when it was time for my body to take over because my mind didn’t have a goal to accomplish, I couldn’t do it. That is what I physically put my body through.”

Another big accomplish-ment for Brown was complet-ing a 209-mile relay, which is usually accomplished with a team of 12. But instead of split-ting up the 209 mile run with a team of 12, Brown competed in a team of three, so he and only two other runners split up the whole 209 miles.

His interest in running has opened to the door to many new relationships. “The run-ning community in the ultra running is very unique. I have done relays with people I have met from it,” Brown said.

Brown has met many friends and running compan-

ions through his journeys, but he isn’t the only teacher on lower floor of the west wing that enjoys running. His math teaching neighbors Kristine Urbanek, Briana Goodenbour and Ethan Weichman have all enjoyed some running in their lives, usually of shorter, quicker distances. Others such as Rich Strike and Shari Neese have pushed themselves to run mar-athons. “I mostly do it to stay in shape and for some ‘me’ time,” Neese said.

Dirk Homewood ran pro-fesionally and in the Olympic trials and currently coaches the track and field team at the high school.

Another big runner from the ranks of the math department is Anna Staudinger, who enjoys running half marathons. She ran cross country in high school but said she never really took it se-riously or was very good at it, but towards the end of college, she picked up running again as a way to exercise. “The more I started running, the more I loved it,” she said.

Staudinger said she loves running because it helps her stay in shape and is a good stress reliever. “If I have a bad day, I will usually go run it off. Even if it’s just running a few

sprints in front of my house to burn off steam.”

Her biggest accomplish-ment yet is running two back to back half marathons. She com-pleted a half in Kansas City on a Saturday morning, and then a half in Des Moines the follow-ing Sunday morning. Her time in the Des Moines race was her third fastest time ever. As of now, Staudinger is training for the Living History Farms race on Nov. 22 with special needs teacher Kara Hulse.

Staudinger loves running for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons she has such a strong passion for it is because of her health. She was born with a heart condition, causing her to have surgery on her heart three times. The doc-tors originally told her that she would have to have another surgery around the age of 20, but with her being as healthy as she is, she has had no need for a surgery yet. “Running has kept my heart healthy, and I have been doing better than my doctors ever expected,” Staudinger said.

For the math teachers, per-haps the biggest attraction to tying on their running shoes is just the thrill of pushing past the limits.

“I love running, and I love the feeling of accomplishment after you finish a big race or training run,” Staudinger said.

Brown described running as a personal challenge that he puts out for himself to ac-complish. “In our society, there is no struggle. We all have houses, clothing, food. There is no sense of having to work for something; there is no chal-lenge. Back then there was a challenge. Now there is none. This is my version of finding that challenge,” Brown said.

The CF Tiger swimmers competed hard and fast for every single race and soon enough, proudly held the team title of third at the state meet in Marshalltown on Nov. 7 and 8.

¨I was really excited to swim my last meet with some of the best people I know,¨ senior Brittany Moffat said. While it was a bittersweet moment for her and a few others, for some the meet was just a grand jump in the pool.

¨It was just so much fun,¨ ju-nior Kailie Valentine said.

For the overall meet stats, each swimmer had been ranked accordingly for each event they’ve swum. In the 200 medley relay, the group made up of Samantha Hall, Natalie Shimp, Meghan Hackett and Madison Hall was able to place second in that event. The indi-vidual 200 freestyle that Mof-fat swam gained her a posi-tion in third. In the individual 200 IM Olivia Clark, a fresh-man straight from Peet Junior High, was able to place eighth. Along with Clark were Hackett,

who earned 11th place, and Jade Jacobs, who placed 12th. Madison Hall earned 10th place in the 50 freestyle.

With Kelly Olsen diving a total of eleven dives, she was able to place 26th overall. The event for the 100 fly finished with Hackett, who was able to land in ninth place. Both Kath-erine Wikner and Valentine swam in the event also, tak-ing the 19th and 23th spots. In the 100 freestyle, Madison Hall gained 13th. The 500 free-style with Moffat earned her

a position in third place. The 200 freestyle relay with Clark, Shimp, Madison Hall and Mof-fat finished in fifth place. In the individual 100 backstroke, Samantha Hall finished off the race in 15th. For the 100 breaststroke, Shimp finished in 13th and Clark in 19th. The last event of the 400 freestyle relay with the four girls Hack-ett, Clark, Martee Grainger and Moffat ended in fifth place.

Math teachers Joe Brown and Anna Staudinger are just two of the math teachers passionate about running.
