The Paw PrintA & E

It’s safe to say that most teenagers like music and often stumble upon unheard artists. The next big musician star that teenagers discover everywhere could be a 15 year old soulful teenager who’s been playing music since he was five.

Ray Goren recently released his EP “Songs For You” featuring four original songs and one cover of the famous song “Light My Fire.” Not only can he sing but he also plays the guitar and piano, both featured prominently in all his songs.

“Songs For You” isn’t Goren’s first EP though.

Ray Goren: good but takes some getting use to

Drumline starts with new members, ends with a team

Students can hear their drums throughout the hallways, at the foot-ball and basketball games, and out on the marching band field, drumline is easily recognized by most students.

Seven of the eight drumline members were new to drumline this year, but that doesn’t stop them from working hard to produce great music.

“The hard thing about having so many new peo-ple was that they were all inexperienced [in drum-line],” said Greer Garlick, Drumline captain. “Hav-ing to teach them how to march, read music, mark time, all that fun stuff was a little hard. But now they’ve got it!”

The size of drumline does not stop the team from enjoying the music they produce and their passion to play.

“If I wasn’t in football, I’d

probably be on drumline because

that’s the next coolest thing,” -Jacob Baird

“I just really love to play the drums,” said Sophomore Josh Allen, member of drumline. “It’s my life.”

Drumline puts in a lot of time to perfect their technique and skills, and hard work and dedication are a key factor in success as a team. They practice every A day during the designated marching

band period, both as a team and with the march-ing band. In addition to class time, they attend early morning practic-es everyday starting at 6:00 a.m. that go for an hour and a half, and that doesn’t include personal practice time for each member.

“My favorite part of playing the drums is the fun,” said Sophomore Max Lenzy, drumline member. “It’s fun to experiment with new sounds [and] equipment.”

Although the drum-line competes with the marching band and col-orguard, they are scored separately, but they also add to marching bands score in competitions.

“My favorite part about being on drumline is just performing in front of people.” Garlick said. “It’s really nerve racking, but once you get up there and start playing, everyone starts getting into it.”

Many students easily recognize drumline as they line the stage during assemblies. As they walk on stage, drums in tow students cheer for the popular Fremont’s Funky Fragments-a popular song played at assem-blies.

He can’t even legally drive and he’s already released three EPs. His lat-est has the songs “Those Days,” “Down & Out,” “Song For Me,” and “It’s On You” plus the cover.

Fair warning to anybody going to give Goren a try: he takes some getting use to. His voice, instruments, and lyrics are very soulful with touches of gospel music thrown in - very different from today’s pop dominated music in-dustry. I wasn’t expecting Goren’s voice to be so mature and wasn’t sure if I liked him at first. Once I listened to the whole EP and walked away for awhile, I found myself humming the tune of one of his songs. I came

back to listen again and Goren’s whole persona grew on me. While he’s not my favorite artist, I can see him going even farther than he already has and many people enjoying his music.

I wouldn’t recom-mend Goren to every-body - only those that like soulful, jazzy, gospel music. The best way to describe Goren is a slightly deeper-voiced Michael Bublé. There is one song from his EP that I would definitely recommend to everyone though. “Song For Me” is a self-empowerment song all about being yourself (think “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten or “Masterpiece” by Jes-sie J). “I don’t care what they say, I’ma do my own way” is one lyric that shows the message be-hind the song. “Song For Me” is a great confidence booster and for some reason, makes me what to strut down the street snapping my fingers.

The Paw Print A & EThe spirit of Dickens Festival

By: Anna WilsonJournalist

The Ghost of Christmas Past, portrayed by Nathan Saunders, is frightened at the sight of a camera with the belief that it will steal his soul.

In 1997, when the choirs were looking for a fundraiser, Dickens Festival was suggested. Though it began as a fundraiser, it turned into something more, a tradition. A tradition that students have had fun participating in for 18 years.

Dickens festival con-sists of a big dinner with characters from Charles Dickens books, portrayed by the Legacy Chamber Choir, who interact with

the guests as they eat. The evening begins with wassail hour, where the guests are served wassail, a hot fruit drink, and finger sandwiches. The guests are then invited into the commons and the feast begins.

“I play Robert Cratchit [character from A Christmas Carol],” Junior Kaden Kartchner said. “He is a very nice, pleasant, caring dad… We had to do character analysis, I read A Christ-mas Carol, and have been practicing a british accent.”

OGDEN- When the Silver Pups had an inadequate amount of chaperones to accompa-ny the children, due to a shortage of available teachers, the early child-

hood education class was quick to save the day.

Each student was assigned to a Silver Pup and had a one-on-one ex-perience with the children through-out the day. The Silver Pups were excited to go bowling and explore the treehouse museum in downtown Ogden.

“I think it went really well, everyone did what they were supposed to do and had fun,” said Christi-na Chadwick, Silver Pups teacher.

The museum featured

all hands-on exhibits and areas for the children to play and experiment.

“It went great, I really liked to watch the kids

run around and play,” said Senior JayCee Taylor, teacher’s aid.

“My Favorite was the T-Rex, I was hiding from him in the dinosaur eggs, and then I got

to build my own king castle.” Silver pup Dante exclaimed.

“I fell asleep because climbing the stairs made me tired,” said Silver Pup Flynlee.

“I loved making food for my customers in the restaurant upstairs,” said

Choir students have been preparing for weeks to portray their charac-ters. On the night of Dickens Festival they must not break character, which is harder than it may seem.

Often times family or friends will say the exact thing that almost makes the actor break character but they must try their hardest not to.

Later in the evening the choir students put on a concert for the attend-ing guests. Traditionally, they sing “Silent Night,” and perform other

Christmas songs.“The spirit of Dick-

ens, you can’t get that specific feeling anywhere else unless you’re at Dickens,” said Junior Nathan Saunders, who portrays the Ghost of Christmas past. “Seeing how the characters in-teract as well as listening to the choirs sing, and the food, oh I love the food.”

Dancing together as oneDanze Co. and Special

Needs students dance in

Christmas assembly

By: Shaunee BranzJournalist

As an unique way of teaching Danze Co. the value of friendship, dance teacher Mrs. Thor-pe combined her class and the special needs class together to create a dance for the Kash for Kids assembly. Howev-er, members of Danze Co. learned more than

friendship.“The purpose is to be

intertwining the special needs kids with dancing and helping them learn how to dance,” said Senior Maddi Knight, Danze Co. member.

“They love it. It’s one of their favorite things to do,” said Senior Mekena Philips, Danze Co. mem-ber. “It makes us grow closer to them, which is really awesome because lots of people don’t think of that.”

Members of Danze Co. came up with a sim-ple stomp-clap routine that they taught to the special needs students.

“They just come to our class [during fourth period] and we practice,” said Senior Karissa Slater,

one of the captains of Danze Co. She loves dancing with them.

Danze Co. members also act as cheerleaders for the special needs students.

“They’re not used to [dancing]. Some of them have never even stepped foot in the dance room at the school so they get frustrated and feel like they want to quit,” Philips said. “Us, as Danze Co. members, have to keep encourag-ing them and tell them they’re doing good, because they are. The things they are capable of [are] amazing!”

Danze Co. and the special needs class has put hours of effort into this dance. The special

needs students practice in other classes as well.

the festive madness.If you like staying

indoors…have a movie marathon.

There are many classic holiday movies that are great for binge watching and getting in the Christ-mas spirit. If you already have the movies, this is a super cheap holiday ac-tivity to do. If you don’t, most places have them during the season, cost-ing $5 - $10 per movie. Inviting friends over can make it even more fun.

If you like dates...go ice skating.

Ice skating is a perfect date idea for the winter. It provides an excuse to

hold hands, and it’s funny to watch your date try to do an impressive trick. George S. Eccles Ice Center, The Ice Sheet, Syracuse City Ice Rink, Ice Skating at Station Park, and South Davis Ice Rink are all popular

rinks in Utah and will all cost less than $10 per person to skate.

If you like the out-doors...see christmas light displays.

Another classic christ-mas activity is going to see Christmas lights. Sev-

eral places are free while others cost upwards of $20. Also, there’s light displays that are walk-through while others are drive-through, for those who don’t want to brave the cold weather. Many of the christmas light

displays serve hot choc-olate and snacks. Going around a neighborhood can also be a great way to see christmas lights as more and more people set up elaborate displays.

Coloring: not just for the kids

Think of a coloring book. A child’s hastily drawn scribbles, colors outside the lines, and crayons spread out along the page comes to mind. But, imagine a coloring book designed for adults.

The website Imgur is bringing its community together by asking them to submit drawings for the 40-page spiral bound coloring book.

“The artwork can be any style you like but should take time to color it in,” states Andrew Kochie in an online de-scription. “Your original artwork should be Imgur

related somehow but in any style you choose. Bananas, Cats, Safes, Me-mes, Giraffes…[etc].”

All proceeds earned from the book will go to a benefit organization called DigDeep. The organization digs wells to help people in underde-veloped areas to get fresh uncontaminated water.

“Personally, I wouldn’t buy this [Imgur Coloring Book],” said Mrs. Mon-tierth, art teacher. “But, I know a lot of people who would.”

Imgur’s approach with their new coloring book, gives adults to express their creativity in a new way.

“We have a few spe-

cial guest illustrators that will be included in the coloring book,” Kochie said.

The book will be available in December for $15 on their website (Scan QR Code for more information).

Christmas wrapping paper made easy

It’s stressful enough to buy gifts for everyone on a christmas list. Then, add on the weight of wrapping every gift, and Christmas cheer becomes a little less cheerful. Rip-ping paper, tape getting stuck in a bad place, and running out of wrapping supplies are all common mishaps. Here are a few tips on how to make christmas wrapping easy and enjoyable.

Not only is buying gifts expensive, but wrapping paper, ribbon, and bows can add up to a hefty amount also. A cheap alternative to tra-ditional wrapping paper is using brown paper. Brown paper normally costs less per foot than wrapping paper - $0.18 per foot for brown paper


versus $0.60 per foot for wrapping paper at Target. It also gives limitless pos-sibilities for decorations. Washi tape, dollar store ornaments, stickers, and yarn are all quick, and cheap ways to decorate brown wrapping.

The gift is often more exciting to a child than the wrapping, but there

are several awesome ways to wrap presents for kids to make it more interest-ing. If the child loves an-imals, it’s great to shape the present into their favorite creature. Paint on the animal’s features or use stamps. Anoth-er idea is to print off stamps and address labels from the North Pole and glue them onto the pres-ent. Kids will love their own personal package from the North Pole. A last idea for children is to include small toys on the outside of the gift. Waiting to open presents is extremely hard for most kids, so giving them a toy on the outside to play with, is a brilliant idea. Cars, stickers, and crayons are good ideas to add and can all be found at the dollar store.

down first, then put the colors on and added lots of layers.” However, the piece wasn’t entered it into the competitions because Teel was less than happy with the end result.

Junior Kayla Snarr did a colorful acrylic painting of the old State Capitol building at night.

“I wanted to do something unique,” Snarr said. “Most people do day, I did night. Most people do regular colors, so I did different colors. Everyone does the State Capitol, I did the State House, which was the old capitol building.”

Snarr submitted her project online for the state competition. Her project, along with the others student works entered, will be judged by two art critics and a state Senator. The winners of this competition will receive an award and a possible scholarship.

Junior Emma Poulson created her project using newspaper, glue, paint, and pen. Poulson chose a reference photo looking up at the front of the building because she “liked the angle and it made it look bigger. The front is more interesting.”

Poulson also used bright colors added birds as a symbol of hope and freedom.

Snarr and Poulson are entering the regional competition in addition to the state competition. This requires them to matt or frame their work and submit the actual piece rather than a pic-ture of it to be judged.

Poulson, like many other artists, is happy with her work and be-lieves it turned out better than she planned.

“I like it a lot,” Poul-son said. “It’s a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be.”

Ronni BairdKayDee Nelson Marissa BarnesAlicia Anderson Jerra Fowers Kenzie Larreau

Love the editors,

take advantage of singing the tradi-tional song every assembly as the opportunity of a lifetime.

However, the past couple assem-blies have ended on, an awkward note. When won-derful and inspiring assemblies end, some stand in con-fusion, some run

to the stage, while others sit around wondering if they should sing our school song or if they should sim-ply shuffle out like migrating penguins. Singing the school song shouldn’t be something we “have” to do, but something we “want” to do.

The importance of the school song will never fade. High school isn’t a forever stage in our lives, and when the time comes, we all want to have ex-periences without regrets.

Those students that stay after because they want to sing the school

song should not be scoffed at or chas-tised because they are following Silver Wolf tradition, they should be followed. The school song reminds us why we love Fremont. We should leave the auditorium with our heads held high, and pride for the school that shapes us.

We appreciate the hard work the officers, teachers, administration, and all others put forth for our assemblies. We encourage the student body to continue showing a respect for the assemblies and the effort put into them.

Editor,School excused

absences should excuse a student from in class par-ticipation points during the period of the excused absence. They may not affect attendance but they do affect our grades.

While it seems a simple solution to excuse students from class par-ticipation points if they attend an extracurricu-lar activity, it is a much more complicated issue when considering the tie between consistent at-tendance and a student’s educational success.

First, it is important to remember that these activities are considered “extra”-curricular, mean-ing outside the regular curriculum, work, or responsibilities. Indi-viduals who choose to participate in extra-cur-ricular activities should understand that there is an “extra” level of time and work involved in these activities, and that interest and commitment should not exclude them from work their teachers deem important.

Another consideration is that there are twenty departments, 90 teachers, and over 200 courses offered at Fremont. There are a wide variety

Administrator’s responseof teachers, curriculum, expectations, and require-ments in such a large school. The work teach-ers expect their students to complete is critical to students’ learning of the curriculum, whether it is a ten-page essay or par-ticipation in an activity.

Currently, Fremont has over 32 clubs/groups, and at least seventeen sports. That is a lot of students who are involved in extracurric-ular activities. The hope is that ALL students will find an interest in something beyond academics to enjoy at Fremont, and that stu-dents will continue doing well in their courses by taking advantage of the makeup policies in place at Fremont. With that being said, school-ex-cused absences do allow students to participate in school activities without penalty to attendance or grades; however, the work missed needs to be completed. Students

should and are given the opportunity to make up the work so that they are able “represent” their school in a variety of extracurricular activities that are scheduled during the school day. Always remember the quote by Booker T. Washington, “Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.”

I hope this helps make some sense of how and why students need to complete assignments when they are absent for school-excused activities. Fremont Administration

Why? The students were participating in school activities, representing our school, in addition, the absence was recog-nized, encouraged, and excused by the school.

Many academic subjects, athletic, and musical extracurricular activities are available to our student body. When I was a new student at this school the administra-tion and many members of the faculty and staff encouraged me to get involved in extracurricu-lar activities. Extracurric-ular activities offer many opportunities to grow and learn and are valued at this school in so many ways. Often times these activities are extensions

of the curriculum and offer valuable life expe-rience.

One would ask why do these valuable activ-ities count against our academic standing in the classroom? I believe that school excused activities should be viewed as acceptable class par-ticipation. Our school always encourages the students to get involved in its different clubs and other opportunities and I support this view com-pletely. I would like to respectively encourage all of our wonderful teach-ers to accept legitimate school excused absences in exchange for class participation points.

it’s more of getting my scene right and being excited to perform.”

When actors get nervous before going on stage, it helps to take a moment for themselves to relax and get ready to perform.

“Sometimes it’s best to hang out by yourself for a minute while everyone else is doing their stuff and just calm down,” Junior Jake Hogan said.

Performing live is something that all stu-dents involved in the play have learned to love.

“It’s one of the best things in the world per-forming in front of a live audience,” Peterson said. “It’s almost like an addic-tion to me now because

I love it so much. I go out there and just leave everything on stage.”

The drama depart-ment and the stage crew had been working on Big Fish for a while, and it was exciting when they reached performance week.

“We get to deliver to the audience what we have rehearsed and the relationships that we’ve built between each oth-er,” Hogan said.

The production is about working hard and sharing it with the audience.

“The applause is so rewarding,” Peterson said. “We’ve worked so hard for this moment and we finally got there.”

“We’re the fun part of the show,” said Olyvia Mayer

“We’re the visual

aspect,” said Madi Sines, captain of the colorguard team.

These four girls are

more than just the front of the marching band, but a team that loves what they do.

“When the band gets a great visual score, we play a big part in that score,” said Paige Hock.

Col-orguard captures the audience. It takes talent and hard work to be able to do the rou-tines that they do.

“If you do a really high toss and catch it just right, every one will hold their breath,” said Olyvia Mayer.

When Jones is looking for inspirations, he likes to focus on people’s excellence, whether it’s biology or even under-standing astrology in stars. He likes to “pull” inspiration from people.

Davis found some-thing he was passionate about, and went with what he loved to do. He shows that even with rough past, it doesn’t have to affect future passion.

Davis said, “You hear all the time ‘you are the future’ all the time but the sense of having a voice in that — not just being told you’re the future by adults — but having a voice to speak what that future will be now. Now you have that opportunity more than ever.”

way for him “to show students they have a principal who cares about them.”

“I thought it was kind of strange that he has a drawer full of socks,” Senior Kena Phillips said. “Usually people would give you something like candy for doing some-thing well, but we got socks. I did like it though because I like socks.”

Although socks seem strange, it is definitely something unforgetta-ble. Dr. Belnap said he “wanted to give some-thing that students would find unique and always remember.”

When Dr. Belnap was in High School, he also was the recipient of socks.

“I had a high school coach, years ago, that when we did something well he would give us socks,” Dr. Belnap said. “Sometimes he’d just give us one sock and he’d say, ‘that’s pretty good’ and ‘if you do some-thing good again I’ll give you the other sock’. It’s something that I’ve never forgotten.”

There are all different kinds of colorful socks for students, and Dr. Belnap said “there’s no criteria to get socks, it’s

just people who repre-sent what’s great about Fremont.”

Dr. Belnap said sometimes it is “students who have accomplished something exceptional”, and other times it “may not be the exceptional student, but a student who has shown improve-ment.”

Members of clubs have received socks from Dr. Belnap. Giving out socks is his way for him “to thank the students for their hard work.”

Se-nior Jacob Franc explains that his routine for getting ready for a dance is simply, “Showering, making sure I’m smelling nice, and putting on the clothes. Not much to it really.”

“I shower and then get all my fancy clothes on,” said Senior Alex

Remy. “Then I usually do a little fashion show for my mom and sister so that they can adjust

ShadeBye FeliciaThe phrase “Bye

Felicia” originates from the 1995 movie “Friday”. The phrase is used when an individual, or a group of people don’t like the specific person who is about to leave a room. It is meant to be a disre-spectful way of saying goodbye. “I use it if something is awkward,” Senior Blakely Rheese said.” Sometimes I use it when I don’t want to talk with someone anymore.” When it comes down to it, it’s just throwing shade.

in the Dixie Six competi-tion. A highlight of those few weekends is the “Cowboy Prom” where members competing from all over Utah, Wy-oming, Arizona, Nevada, and other surrounding states come together for a night and celebrate with

dancing. There is no day date, due to the members competing in the rodeo, but that night they get ready, either in their hotel rooms or trailers, for the big dance.

There are several events in rodeo, includ-ing rough stock, when

the person tries to stay on bull for at least eight seconds before getting bucked off. Barrel racing is when the individual guides the horse through a path around barrels. Another is pole racing when the member weaves in and out of six poles on horseback. In addition there are the timed events including roping calves, team roping, and breakaway roping.

A lot of credit for the success of a rodeo mem-ber can be accredited to their horse.

“You have a best friend in your horse. The relationship is unexplain-able,” said Sandberg. “You learn things from horses that you could never learn from any other sport. They are some of the best teachers alive.”

TSA is common-ly referred to as the engineering or computer science club. There are several state and national competitions throughout the year which include: engineering, leadership, and literature.

Rewards for the com-petitions are usually cash prizes. If any students, members or not, are interested in compet-ing, they can talk to Dr. Paskett to see if there

“There are compe-

The Fremont Debate Program is sadly unrec-ognized, but the students involved work hard to argue well.

For a recent debate tournament at View-mont High School, ten students were at Fremont at by 6:45 on a Saturday morning. Mr. Murphy, the debate coach, took a quick headcount, then they were off to the bus for a ride to the Viking Clash Tournament.

The students can compete in a number events, all with a wide range of times and

requisites. From differ-ent types of debates to speaking contests, the students are learning skills that will be used for life.

“It’s a good oppor-tunity for me, because I personally would like to be an attorney when I’m older, so it’s a good thing for me to see what it’s like on the logical side of things,” said Tony Bodily, first-year debater.

Debate President Josie Phipps says that debate gives her the chance to understand other peo-ple’s stances on popular topics, and gives her the opportunity to express her own views.

“You just feel the uni-ty within the debate pro-

gram, and I wish more and more kids would do it,” Junior Ryker Hill said. “Debate is a sport… And I try my best to support everything, I try my best to go to sporting events, and I try my best to support my school. I think [debate] needs to be recognized more.”

As for the team bonding? Bodily said, “I personally love our team. We can all take a joke but be serious at the same time. I like Murphy be-cause he’s a really relaxed coach… But he can also help you and improve your game.”

Girls also love blankets or a new book to curl up with. One of the newest book releases is called “All Fall Down” by Ally Carter.

For the boys, t-shirts, socks, cologne, or just about anything involving sports would make them happy. Ties are also a great gift. Places like Kohls or Seagull Book have ties on sale around the holidays. Guys will also appreciate just about

anything they can eat.

The swim team ‘dives’ into city county At the swim

team’s city/county meet last Friday, both teams took 1st place for the third year in a

row.


Tight suits, goggles, rubber caps, and chlo-rine, not your typical at-tire for weekend happen-ings. But these elements lead the swim team to

success last Friday at their city/county meet.

The swim team has won city/county for three years in a row. Along with this, many of the swimmers broke multiple records held by Fremont.

“I think we just have a great overall boys and girls team, we have our top swimmers, but we also have the ones in between that really pull our team together well,” said senior Jacob Jahn. “We don’t just have a few great swimmers, but an overall great team.”

The girls 200 meter medley relay, 200 and 400 yard freestyle relay all took first. Olyvia Mayer won in the 200 yard freestyle and 100 yard butterfly. Kyree Suther-land also took first in the 200 yard IM and 100 yard backstroke. Lizzie Drake won the 100 yard freestyle. Then there was a clean sweep in the women’s 100 yard IM by Gatlyn Spencer, Bailey Price, Natalia Parrado, and Shae Taylor all taking top four.

Josh Provost took first in the 50 yard freestyle

and 100 yard butterfly. Austin Stucki won the 100 yard IM.

“It’s good to see all the different swimmers from our area, there so many people,” said senior Randee Thurgood. “Be-cause it’s city county it’s swimmers that all come from our area.”

Along with winning city/county three years in a row, both teams won by almost 300 points, which is no easy accomplish-ment.

This football sea-son had its highs and lows. Some Fridays left students with excitement and enthusiasm, while a few fell short of expecta-tions. However, our boys never stopped giving 110% at the games.

Not only are these players learning different skills in football, they are learning life lessons that they can use even after they leave high school.

Stratford also mentioned how being a senior changed his moti-vation because he didn’t want to let any of his teammates down, and he wanted to work as hard as he possibly could so he would be able to leave not only the football field, but also his senior year with no regrets.

During the first game, while Jacob Baird was stretching, he traced his initials on the 12 yard line with his finger. This was a spur of the moment decision for him but could have been the start of his own tradition

before he graduates. “Life is a lot like foot-

ball,” Baird said.“You need to be able to work with others and be there for each other at all times.”

Even on the disap-pointing nights Saxton Morby still looked on the bright side and knew that he always had his team-mates by his side going through the same things he was going through.

“I’ve learned this season the importance of teamwork and being united as a team to come together and fight through adversity,” Morby said.“When things get hard, keep pushing through it.”

definitely not the typical courses the team is used to,” said Sophomore Brookelyn Jones.

The Foot Locker race course was a 5K with rolling hills on the last mile, not what the team was used to.

“It was probably one of the most diffi-cult courses I’ve been on,” said Junior Preston Taylor. “It was definitely challenging and it made you push yourself past your limits.”

Though the course was not the same format as the team was used to, the members were still sure to have a good time while they enjoyed sunny California.

“My favorite part of the trip was going to the ocean with the team,” said Junior Ryann Combe. “We all went out to sea and dove through some giant waves.

Another favorite part is when we all found out Sauvageau was staying in room 666...That speaks for itself.”

Local schools such as Weber, Syracuse, and Bonneville also competed in the race, putting some Fremont team mem-bers on the same bus as Weber and also Syracuse. Cross Country became a common bond between rivalry schools.

“Foot Locker was a fun experience for me and next year we hope to see more people with us,” said Taylor.

Wrestling is generally a guy-dominant sport, and few girls have a desire to wrestle. How-ever, Sophomore Kayla Ramirez decided to join the wrestling team, de-spite the fact that she has never wrestled before.

“At first I was kind of teasing with people saying that I was going to be on a wrestling team,”

Ramirez said.Ramirez heard that

people doubted she could be on the wrestling team because she was a girl. To prove she could do it, Ramirez joined the wrestling team.

“I take judgement and doubt kind of to heart, so I like to prove people wrong,” Ramirez said.

During practices held after school, Ramirez found that the male members of the team felt a little awk-ward about wrestling her be-cause they normally wrestle only guys.

“I don’t blame them, ‘cause they’re used to being able to ‘grab’ and

they can’t necessarily do that,” Ramirez said. “In here, I am one of the guys so [they] don’t [need to] worry about that.”

Both the coaches and students on the team accept her. Practices help Ramirez learn about wrestling because the coaches and wrestlers help her with anything she needs, and show her what wrestling is all about.

“It’s all about mental before physical. It’s 90% mental [and] 10% physi-cal,” she learned.

opinion on how to properly

break up with

someone.

Breaking up is like puking, it’s terrible when it’s happening but feels great once it’s over.

Some high school students don’t get the experience of having a high school sweetheart but that doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. High school relationships can be short and sweet.

“My longest rela-

tionship was 3 days in 7th grade,” said Senior Jessica Ursem.

Breaking up replaces that sweet with sour. It’s awkward, uncomfortable

and usually never easy. What happens afterwards can depend on the way you break up.

“Breaking up in person is the most

respectful,” Senior Zach Clawson said. “Texting definitely is not.”

Part of a relationship is liking and respecting the person. This is why

many people feel that texting is one of the worst ways to break up. Get some courage and tell them how you feel in person and don’t risk

losing a friendship over a bad break up.

“Relationships are not worth it in high school,” said Senior Gavin Stoker, “after high school [it’s] definitely worth it”.

“Do not text them and calling isn’t even good,” Ursem said. “If someone was going to break up with me I would rather have them come talk to me in person”.

Most high school students can agree that breaking up over text is not the best option. Yet when they are faced with the uncomfortable situation, most of the time they will get caught sending a text rather than breaking up in person.

FFA trap shoot was a good way to bond with friends and family on a Saturday morning and participate in a friendly competition that also helped raise money. On November 14, FFA members and other people in the community participated in a trap shoot held at the Giorda-no Family dairy.

Fundraiser for students in need

Since 1980, the Christmas Tree Jubilee, held at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center, has raised millions of dollars to support children in Weber County.

This Weber School District Christmas proj-ect allows different busi-nesses and schools in the community to decorate and donate Christmas trees. Decorated trees are then sold, and the money earned helps support kids in Weber County, particularly those with special needs.

The Ogden Eccles Conference Center is open to the public each year during Thanksgiving week.

“I think it’s a great opportunity that we have to go and give service to the community,” Junior Nathan Saunders said. “Any money that they get goes straight to the kids.”

Along with seeing the beautiful Christmas trees,

there is also live enter-tainment.

“My mom is on the Weber School District Board of Education,” Junior Michael Saunders said. “We have gone there every year. We got involved with it and decided to sign up and learn a few songs to play.”

Michael Saunders’ group included Senior

Cameron Swaner, Juniors Nathan Saunders and Cort Dixon, and Sopho-more Todd Burton.

“It helps out the kids,” Michael Saunders said. “Performing brings in more people because they come to see you per-form. The more people they have there the better chance there is of raising more money.”

allows women to per-form combat

roles

Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that all U.S. military com-bat positions will be open to women.

According to CNN, Carter said that women will be able to “drive

tanks, give orders, lead infantry soldiers into combat” and perform many other duties that were once only avail-able to men. Women must qualify and meet the physically rigorous standards to fulfill these positions.

This decision has been in the works for some time but the Ma-rine Corps is opposed to it, saying that all-male squads are most ideal because they are more effective. CNN says Marine General and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Dunford, was given time

to agree with the decision but has not changed his mind.

“We are a joint force, and I’ve decided to make a decision that applies to the entire force,” Carter said.

Even though Dunford disagrees with Carter’s decision, he plans to see that it is “properly imple-mented.”

The New York Times mentioned that the deci-sion opens about 220,000 different jobs to women and that the decision will be made effective by the beginning of January.

SALT LAKE CITY- Only four days after the horrific terrorist attacks in France, an Air France plane headed to Paris was diverted to the Salt Lake City airport after threats

of a bomb. The plan originally took off from Los Angeles Internation-al Airport, but at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, SLC Airport was notified of the bomb threat. Air France Flight 65, carrying 497 passengers, landed in Salt Lake City about half an hour after the airport was notified. All passen-gers were evacuated from the plane to a “safe area away from the terminals” said Bianca Shreeve, airport spokeswoman. FBI agents and police conducted an investiga-tion but no bomb was found. They also inter-viewed all the passengers. Around 10:30 p.m. the plane was cleared and the flight continued to

Paris at 12:01 a.m. The FBI is still investigating on why the bomb threat was called in directly to

the flight. Another Air France flight headed to Paris from Dulles In-ternational Airport, was

diverted around the same time on Tuesday to Hal-ifax, Nova Scotia - also due to a bomb threat.

FBI does not know if the same person called in both threats.

Now that the cold weather is here, it’s easy for most people to grab a blanket to keep warm. For those that can’t grab a blanket, the next few months can be horrible. Spanish Club helped less-en the pain for those in need by making blankets for Project Linus.

blankets to anyone, most-ly children and teens, that can’t afford to buy their own. The organization’s name comes from the Charlie Brown Character, Linus, who is always seen with his blanket. All the blankets made, stay in Utah. About 25 members from the Spanish Club met after school to cut and tie over 40 fleece blankets, staying almost two hours until each blanket was done. The project was sponsored by Mr. Sampson, the Span-ish Club advisor, and his mother, Sandi Sampson.

It’s a typical image, that of a spirit head bobbing above students heads on game day. A simple, but necessary factor to get the student section wild with spirit, helping the team in the battle for a win.

types of service proj-ects,” said Mr. Sampson. “I thought [Project Li-nus] sounded awesome.”

While mother and son organized the process, the members worked together on the blankets to make sure they were done right.

“A lot of time when people go into shelters, they don’t have some-thing that’s their own,” said Sandi Sampson. “Ownership is so im-portant...the blankets they can take with them anywhere they go.”

While laughing and smiling, members were also making a difference.

Several Spanish Club members and advisor Mr. Sampson, pose with their finished blankets.

Though it took awhile to finish, everyone had fun.

“I think the project is cute and I like that we’re helping people,” said Maddyson Macari, Presi-dent of Spanish Club.

Several other mem-bers also felt good about helping adults and chil-dren in need by a simple act of kindness.

“It’s good to help the community and anything

that makes a difference in people’s life,” said Maddison Wadsworth, Officer of Spanish Club. “The more people that help, the better.”

female. “I knew there was

a boy one and decided that we needed a girl one,” said Senior Bailee Gibson.

Surprisingly, there has been a mix of reactions from students toward the female head. Some people love it and have told Gibson how cool they think it is. They love taking pictures and kissing the female head. But Gibson also recalls students booing at the head and even going as far as threatening to destroy it.

“I think that’s because it’s different and not tradition,” Gibson said, “But I think that we need to be making new tradi-

tions [at] Fremont.”“Her [Lady] head is

cute,” said Senior Nate Owens. “I don't sense a rivalry or anything like that though. We both have school spirit and love our school, that's all there is to it.”

It seems there is no greater time than the present to welcome change. Winding through high school in an era where acceptance of everyone and individuali-ty is demanded, a female spirit head may be the perfect addition to Fre-mont. Not only for good luck at games and team spirit, but as a symbol of

what Fremont stands for. A loving student section with leaders of all kind.

“I do think it is a cool new tradition to add to the school and I hope it

helps all the teams here at Fremont win and bring more school spirit to the

crowds at the games,” said Junior Kenzee Talbot.

There has been no reported romance be-tween the male and spirit head. But who knows what the future holds. Their legacy isn’t over yet. Bailee Gibson plans to pass down the Female Spirit Head at the end of the year.

International German Olympics Winners

By: Lauren PearceJournalist

Junior Alex Charters won the first level of the International German Olympics this fall by demonstrating fluency in the German language.

“I was really surprised and excited for a new travel experience,” Char-ters said.

Founded and spon-

When students advance to the next level, they are required to participate in additional individual competitions. Once selected, the six winners will leave for a trip to Germany in December.

Last year’s winner, Senior Calder Lake, also advanced to the highest level and was one of 39 Americans to be selected that year.

“The German culture is incredible,” said Lake, with a smile. “[The ex-perience] was incredible. Take German, the culture is unique and amazing.”

When the students arrive in Germany, they will stay with a host family and attend a high school. They will also get an opportunity to visit and explore many parts of the country.

Waffle Love

Fremont High Park-ing Lot- Thick creamy batter gently cooked until the dough is just right, topped with various fruits and spreads, and handed out fresh and warm on a paper plate. Not only does it smell like heaven, but the sight is beautiful. The feeling of falling into a dreamy

daze as the glorious food hits taste buds is overwhelming. Instanta-neously, fall deep in love, waffle love.

Students spent their whole lunches outside, in twenty six degree weather, to get a bite of Waffle Love waffles. This legendary waffle truck made their way to Plain City and treated many students with their won-derful waffles.

“I go all the time, and I follow them everywhere they go.” said Emma Beesley, a Waffle Love enthusiast.

Josie Phipps didn’t mind standing in the long cold line.

“Everybody needs a

waffle,” she said.For a lot of students,

Waffle Love is a recurring experience. For a few, it’s their first time.

Sam Stratford said this was his first time trying Waffle Love, and before he got his waffle, he commented that it was not worth standing in line.

Phipps, now a two-time Waffle Love mem-ber cheerfully said, “I [got a waffle] last year. I decided to stand outside in the freezing cold.”

The pileup of stu-dents says more about the food than anything else does; Fremont loves Waffle Love. With twelve waffles on the menu,

there is a unique love for everyone.
