Study Tips
With exams right around the corner, many
nights will be spent studying. Sometimes, knowing
where to start and how to proceed can be the hard-
est part. One thing is to give yourself enough time
to study. Do not try to make yourself study all of
the material in one night. Giving yourself enough
time to study allows yourself to process the infor-
mation and understand it better. Another tip is to be
sure that your study space is organized.
Make sure that you are comfortable and
have enough space to see all of your material. Also
be sure to keep distractions to a minimum. Silence
your phone, turn off the TV, and keep video games
until you are all done. A third tip is to study and
practice on old tests, quizzes and exams. Try and
answer the questions without looking at the an-
swers. After you have solved the problem, check
the answer. When studying, make sure you take
breaks. Do not try to keep working when you get
distracted as you then do not store the information
properly. A break helps you refocus your mind on
your work, allowing you to work faster. If you feel
like you cannot take a break from studying, at least
switch up which subject you are working on.
Another thing you should do when you are
studying is to write out your answers. This helps the
answer stick better in your head and again, better
understand why that is the answer. You should also
be sure to study in a group, or at least with a part-
ner. This helps you not get as bored with your stud-
ying and it helps you understand something or learn
a different way to remember the answer. Although
all these tips may not work for everyone, I hope
that some of them are helpful for you.

Central Lake
Trojan Timez May—June 2018
Beautifying the grounds
The beginning
of May brings
sunshine and
flowers, but this
beauty is tainted
by dead plants,
fallen sticks, dead
leaves and trash.
To help fix the
appearance of the
school, Central
Lake hosted its
first school wide
Beautification
Day on Friday,
May 11th during
fifth hour.
As fifth hour
rolled around,
students all met
at their semi-
nars. Each seminar class had their own areas to clean up.
Cleaning the school yards consisted of picking up sticks,
raking the yard, spreading mulch and picking up trash.
Cleaning up the yards wasn’t only a student activity as
the seminar teachers aided in the event and led their
classes.
See Beautification pg. 14
Eighth grade Chicago bound
Tess Perkins and Sadie Newton beautify
the grounds simply by being present!
Central Lake’s eighth grade getting ready to board
the train from Kalamazoo to Chicago.
A train ride, The Wizard of Oz, and many
big city sights and sounds were some of the high-
lights of much planning and organizing. With new
sponsors and different means of fundraising, the 8th-
grade class returned to the windy city again in 2018.
This year’s class, the graduating class of 2022, had
their chance to get out and explore. Mrs. Fernandez
organized the excursion with the help of many par-
ents and community members. The students raised
funds all year with can drives, food fundraisers, and
physical labor.

Opiate epidemic assembly
On Monday, May 4th, Central Lake middle and high
school students attended an assembly on opiate addiction, and
were educated by panel of speakers including Woody Nitchman,
an addict in recovery, Robin Sommer, a mother of a son who
was lost because of an opiate overdose, prosecuting attorney,
James Rossiter., and Officer Morris and Chief Scott Barrett.
P.A. James Rossiter started the assembly by explaining
really what this whole epidemic is and why it’s so serious. He
explained that it has even happened in our small town of Central
Lake. Then, he introduced a very emotional video, “Chasing the Dragon.” This video shows real people that
have lived through addiction of opiates, and sadly, family members of people who have not lived through it. It
was a very eye opening video.
Woody Nitchman talked about how he grew up around the Central Lake area and started smoking at
the age of 13. He then progressed to trying opiates and injecting. He was found behind a bar barely breathing.
Once they got him to the hospital he found out he had a spinal stroke and no longer can use his hands or his
arms from the elbow down.
Next, Robin Sommer told a very touching story about her son Damien Smith. Damien started smoking
weed at a young age and he also progressed to using other drugs. As a mother, Mrs. Sommer turned her son into
the police, because that was the safest thing for him. He then went six months clean and was found in a locked
bathroom dead. Robin says she gave him CPR praying that she wouldn’t
lose her son. Damien was pronounced dead soon after the medics arrived.
That is a very touching story because we all have families, and
just imagine if that was your mom that found you behind the bathroom
door. Dead. Imagine how heartbroken she would be.
Mr. Rossiter ended the assembly by explaining the good Samari-
tan rule. This rule basically is saying that you will not be prosecuted if
you are helping someone who is addicted to opiates even though you’re
not turning them into the law.
This is a very serious problem that is happening all around us
and we need to do everything we can to stop it.
You don’t want to be next.

Nutty national holidays Have you ever heard of wacky national holidays like Donut Day, Girlfriends Day or Frappé Day? The
first thing I ask myself when I hear these “national holidays” is; where do they come from? None of these holi-
days are actually federally declared. They are usually made up by an individual or company, they don’t need
any official paper to okay it. Companies usually independently declare these holidays to promote their product.
Congress actually stopped passing legislation for special holidays a while back but today mayors, cities, towns
and states can declare their own. You too can declare a day as a national holiday, you just need enough people
recognize the day to celebrate it.
On June 6th is the unofficial holiday of the Drive-In Movie Theatre. This day celebrates the anniver-
sary of the first drive in movie theatre opened by Richard Hollingshead in 1933. He first opened the theatre
showing the British
comedy “Wives Be-
ware” in Camden,
New Jersey. The price
was just 25 cents per
car and per person,
today that totals to
$4.70 per ticket. In
today's market the
average cost is $9 for
an adult ticket and $7
for a child.
His idea for
the drive-in theatre
first came about when
he realized his mother
was too big for indoor
movie theatre seats.
To make his mother
feel better about never
being able to go the theatre, he put a projector on the hood of his car, and tied up two white bed sheets in his
yard. That is how the first “Drive-In” theatre came about.
There are only about 348 movie theatres open in the US today. As technology advances people find it
more reasonable to see the latest movie in the comfort of a theatre, IMAX theatre, or just in their own homes.
The closest drive-in theatre near us is the Cherry Bowl in Honor which is about an hour and twenty
minutes away.

Chicago from pg. 1
Students rolled out of Central Lake aerly on
May 9th, starting their trip to Chicago Illinois.
The trip was packed full of fun events and ac-
tivities for the kids to do.
The kid's departed from school at 5:30
am Wednesday morning. From there they drove
to Kalamazoo MI, to the Amtrak Station. They
then took a train to Chicago Union station.
They arrived at 12 pm and dropped their bags
off at the hotel and walked to the Navy Pier to
eat lunch and shop. Dinner was reserved at the
Rainforest Cafe they got to check out the foun-
tain, Garrett Popcorn Company or the trol-
ley. When the crew arrived back at the
hotel, they got to enjoy swimming and
relaxing.
Thursday morning breakfast was
at the motel, followed be a trip the Field
Museum and Shedd aquarium. Shopping
and swimming were after and dinner was a
deep dish pizza. A performance of The
Wizard of Oz was enjoyed by all that
night.
Friday morning after breakfast
the kids got to go to Millenium Park and
this was the last event before the kids
started to pack up and head back to the
school.
Mrs. Fernandez’s offered many
thoughts about the trip: “ I was very excit-
ed to take over the Chicago trip this year.
The kids did an awesome job of fundrais-
ing and we thank the community for their
support as well. Watching the kids navigate the city was definitely a highlight. They had individual bus pass-
es and learned how to watch for their bus & watch for where to get off. We also took the train into the city
which was a new experience for all of our students. My highlight of the trip was not an individual stop that
we made, but was watching the kids learn, explore, and enjoy Shedd aquarium, The field museum, the Wiz-
ard of Oz at the Chicago theater, navy pier, and so much more. It’s also fun to watch the kids bond and ma-
ture throughout this experience” -Mitch Hood and Gaby Fernandez

A letter to incoming freshman
Dear Incoming Freshman,
High school can be extremely intimidating, and not knowing what to expect as a freshman may seem
scary. It is full of ups and downs.
There may be some things that will be helpful to know as you start your high school career that I wish
I would have known. Do not take things so seriously, mistakes are not the end of the world. You only get to go
through high school once, so try to enjoy it.
Letting people define you is another big mistake. If you feel like you need to live up to everyone else’s
standards, you may not find the things that you truly enjoy. Do not allow your friends to change you. Break
away from them if they don't accept you for you. People will change and so will your friends. They may move
away, or you might just drift apart. That is all part of high school. It will be tough but you will find new friends
who you can spend time with and have similar interests.
Find the things that you enjoy doing to help you fill your time and bring you to new people. If it is
reading, writing, drawing or playing a sport, spend time doing it. It will help you calm your mind and relieve
your stress. Do not let other people tell you that the things you enjoy doing are pointless, they have a place in
your life and that is all that matters. Do not not do something for fear of being bad at it. Take each opportunity,
no matter how difficult, as a chance to grow and as a chance to try something new. Be adventurous and step out
of your comfort zone.
Try a new sport or par-
ticipate in organizing an
event for your school or
community.
High school
will be a learning expe-
rience, but everyone has
been there, you are not
the only one. Class of
2022, enjoy high school.

Cancer: For the crab this month is show-
ing that health is all good until the 22nd,
After that you need to take breaks from
time to time. Your career will be slow this
month; you will be too busy to spend time
with your loved ones Speaking of loved
ones; your love life will be highly complex
this month. Your professional ambitions
may be slower because of the stress going
on elsewhere.
Leo: For the lion this month states
it’s natural that you are looking for harmo-
ny and peace in the family environment.
You will also aim for enhancement of psy-
chological strength in September 2017. It
also says that you will have many opportu-
nities for forming romantic relationships
this month. It’s a period of assertion and independence.
Virgo: For the maiden this month says that you’ll exper ience a your energy being restored, and It' s a
strong time for you to have personal confidence. It’s all about self expression; what kind of impression you
make on others, and beginning new personal projects. You are more self-centered than usual, and this is quite
natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far.
Libra: For the scales this month has energetic Mars enter ing into your soul sector from the 5th on, You' ll
be doing some thinking of your goals, needs, and desires. It's not the most energetic of periods in your life, but
you find more comfort in private moments and require a little more rest than usual.
Scorpio: For the scorpion this month shows that you need to get out in order for you to grow and im-
prove spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance continue to expand and grow within you and and
that creates it in your life. Matters from the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the
attitudes that serve you well.
Sagittarius: For the anchor this month has your responsibilities, and life plan goals come into focus.
You're getting ready for an ambitious and accomplished period, although all of these matters do have a strong
social element to them. You have very creative, dynamic energy within you, more as the month advances
Capricorn: For the seagoat this month life is picking up pace for you in a an enjoyable way. Production
has been good for you, and now you're participating more than observing. You'll find that moving outside of
your normal bounds and routines improves your opportunity.

Star Sayings
Aquarius: For the water bearer this month should be br inging in good feelings around and within you.
It’s exactly the right time for you to go get ahead with things you’ve been needing to catch up on or do. Your
personal relationships will be rich because of your positivity and sociability. Your life is becoming very posi-
tive and you're finally figuring out what you need, even though what you needed has been right in front of you
the whole time.
Pisces: For the fish this month predicts that your health will need more attention and your social life
could be affecting it. To help your health, or keep it up to date, start maintaining harmony with your partner-
ships in life. Whether with friends or family, start doing a little more. You will have no problem in finding ro-
mantic associates possibly this month. You have a great period ahead to figure everything out in your life.
Aries: For the ram this month could be an emotional one with their future being the main focus of it.
Your work environment will be crazy planetary influences, which will be useful in meeting your career goals.
Proper exercise and diet control will help your fitness along with meditation. You can totally use your emotion-
al side as a strength to accomplish your objectives this month.
Taurus: For the bull this month pre-
dicts a month spent with family and plan-
ning your future career goals. Taureans
seeking employment will be quite success-
ful due to beneficial aspects of planets.
This is also a good month to start a busi-
ness, but do not expect any immediate
returns. Mars is forcing you to be inde-
pendent and aggressive. You should use
your skills to overcome certain things in
your life this month.
Gemini: For the twin this month tells
that planetary strength is situated and you
are not not dominant. You can spend your
energies on improving your emotional side
which in turn will help your professional
prospects in the future. You’ve been talk-
ing more smack than you usually do lately.

New way of ending things As the school year is wrapping up, students are anxious for summer to begin. But, we remember the sen-
iors who have recently left, having suffered from senioritis since the beginning of school.
This year, things were a little different when it came to graduation ceremonies. But, different didn’t mean
bad, in fact, most of the new things that were started this graduation season were great and fun changes.
The class of 2018 was the first graduating class from Central Lake to be able to decorate their graduation
caps, thanks to Mrs. Weaver. Each student was given a little over a week to take their cap home and decorate it
according to each person's personal interests and personalities.
Graduation this year was also split up into two ceremonies, graduation and recognition. This was done in
order to shorten the actual graduation ceremony, but it also served to be able to highlight more of the classes stu-
dents and their accomplishments.
There was also a
special “extra” ceremony
for the students on their last
day of school. At the end of
the day an assembly was
held in order to recognize
and send off the class of
2018. After the assembly,
the graduates went to the
elementary school to say
goodbye to the younger
kids.
This year was also
the first year that the gradu-
ates didn’t have to do a spe-
cial walk during the cere-
monies. Instead of a stop-
and-go, wedding style,
walk, Mrs. Weaver opted
for students to just walk
slowly so as to not look or
feel as silly.
There were definitely a lot of things that changed this year, but it made things flow smoother and work
well. Congratulations to the class of 2018 and good luck to the rest of the students as you continue your schooling.

Advice for next year's seniors
There' are many important tips to a successful senior year. Right at the beginning of the school year is
when it all starts. You have to fill out the FAFSA, start applying to colleges, fill out scholarships, and still do
your homework. It's a very stressful road, but at the end of your senior year, all of your plans will come togeth-
er. You’ll have all your classes for college scheduled out for the fall or you'll have a great job lined up. Whatev-
er your plans/goals are will happen before you know it. During the first couple weeks Jostens will be coming into the class to give you a booklet that has all
the senior clothings, rings, caps & gowns, tassels, and open house announcements. They give you about a week
to get everything figured out with your parents. I suggest doing it right away because I remember doing it at 10
at night with my mom the day before it was due, she wasn’t very happy. First things first is to get the FAFSA filled out as fast as you can. It's really simple, all you need to do
is go through a series of questions and have your parents fill out a little part. If you have any problems Mrs. Spy
has a parents night to answer all your questions and help you fill it out. After you get the FAFSA filled out you should start applying to colleges as soon as you can, even col-
leges your not sure if you want to go to or not. I applied to about 7-10 colleges even though I can only go to one
at a time. Most colleges have free application month which means if you apply to that college during that month
then theres no application fee which is nice. Around December & January is when the yearbooks will be on sale. I highly recommend getting one.
For your last year of high school you’rre going to want to be able to look back at those pictures and remember
your high school days. There's going to be a great yearbook staff who will make a great yearbook for you to
remember your last year. Mrs. Spy will do a great job getting all the community scholarships out to you a couple months in ad-
vance. There’s so many way to get free money for college. Colleges have them online that you can fill out.
There's community scholarships, and even more throughout the area. Take advantage of that and get as many
scholarships done as you can, it will pay off later. If you know where your for sure going to college, fill out
their scholarship applications as well. Don't be like me a keep putting them off till last minute. By the time you fill out all your scholarships and applied to colleges, you'll have an open house to
worry about. You have to figure out a place to do it at, what kind of food to have, what type of decorations you
want and invitations. Get your invitations done as soon as possible, then you have time to find addresses and get
them mailed before your open house. Also, a really important tip is to keep about an 83% for your semester two grade. If you meet that goal
you don’t have to take your semester two exams. So that means do your homework on time and pay attention. It
pays off not having to take an end of the year exam. Lastly, you’re going to want to sign up for orientation to whatever college you plan on going to. The
sooner you can get signed up for classes the higher probability you will have getting into that class. I'm going to
NMC and I just went on May 9th to sign up for classes. That was the very first signing up for classes they had
and I'm already on the waitlist for some of my classes. Seats fill up really fast and you want to make sure you
get a seat.

Maximum Ride books, a great read
By: James Patterson
Maximum Ride, Nudge, Iggy, Angel, Gazzy, and the Erasers
are all the main characters of the books. These books are
about adventures within the fantasy world. Nudge, Iggy,
Angel, Gazzy, and the Erasers go through many dangerous
hardships and face many fears. Being chased by the Erasers
was hard enough on them.. But, having to relocate was hard-
er each time. They are strong yet weak in their ways of life.
Max is the leader of the gang even though she is only four-
teen years old. They all try to defend each other almost like a
wolf pack.
These books are interesting because they literally keep you
guessing. The adventures of these books is so strong it’ll
make you keep wanting more. They are more of a high
school level book than a middle school book. These books
are worth reading if you have passion for adventures.
I can’t tell you more than what I have already said cause it
will ruin the books so read them to find out. And they are all
worth Accelerated Reader points!
My favorite parts of the book are the adventures because
something risky always happens... like one of the group
members being taken by the Erasers. The trill is worth the
thrill.

Beautification from pg. 1
Not everything we had to beautify was small.
Mrs. Kinery’s group of middle schoolers explored the
rubble of an old house, finding an assortment of cinder
blocks, pipes, rocks, an old tire rim and a garden hose.
Not every groups’ areas were unkempt, noticeably the
two groups working in the front yard, which encom-
passed little trash and most of the work needed was rak-
ing and mulch spreading.
Beautification day did not just happen on its
own but was organized by Mrs. Yost, the National Hon-
or Society Advisor, and she deserves a huge thanks for putting it all together. Being the first school wide beauti-
fication, there was some flaws, such as the lack of equipment provided, but next year it will no doubt be a
smoother experience. More thanks can be given to the whole National Honor Socie-
ty’s members for leading each group and putting in more work after everybody else
went to sixth hour.
In the end, Beautification Day is a day that has every student helping out in
cleaning up the school and make the community look better as a whole. The day was
an overall success and will be improved in the future to help next year’s day be more
organized and put together.

When you walk outside at night and look up
what do you see? Do you see just a bunch of stars or
do you see the constellations that the stars make up?
Do you know all the constellations or just parts like the
big dipper and Orion’s belt? Do you know the stories
they hold?
Many people just see the stars and occasional-
ly they see the big dipper or Orion’s belt, but there is a
lot more up there and a different story for each constel-
lation.
There are 88 named constellations that are
more visible depending on the time of the year. The
constellations are visible year round, but the month
that astronomers give to them as the visible time is
when they are usually brightest at a certain time. For
example, Orion is best seen in January at 9:00pm but if
you want to see it in February you could still see it just
as well at 10:00pm or in December at 8:00pm. Astron-
omers say for every hour before nine that you are look-
ing you should subtract ½ a month and for every hour
after 9 add ½ a month.
Each constellations has many different stories
behind it. Some can have two or three stories just
about individual stars that make them up. One famous
constellation is Orion.
Orion’s story is not a happy one. According
to Greek mythology, Orion was a hunter killed when
he stepped on Scorpius, a scorpion. When the gods
heard of his death they felt sorry for him so they gave
him his own constellation along with his two dogs,
Canis Major and Canis Minor, and the animals they
hunted, Lepus, the rabbit, and Taurus, the bull.
Orion is famous for the three bright stars that
form his belt. These stars create a straight line across
the sky. The brightest star in the constellation, Betel-
geuse is above the belt and forms Orion's “shoulder”.
In Arabic Betelgeuse translates to “The armpit of the
central one.” This shows that the constellation was
known throughout many cultures.
There are so many constellations with their
own unique stories. They are all formed by asterisms
and individual stars. The stars in the sky as individuals
do not have much significance but together as a whole,
they make up a story.

Guide to greatness with the PSAT and the SAT
A few months ago, the 9th and 10th graders took the PSAT while the 11th graders took the actual
SAT. These tests take a long time to finish and within that time, you must complete sections of various
subjects such as history, science, math and language. To help you with these exhausting tests, I have piled
together some tips and tricks to help you prepare for the SAT and how your score will impact your way to
college.
One of the biggest factors while taking the PSAT and SAT is the time limit to each section. This
deterring limitation placed upon the student seems like a huge pressure being put on you but the main way
to combat this restriction is by simply not worrying about it. I know the time limits make it seem you have
little time to do the section but don’t rush. But don’t get me wrong, time is still the main limiting factor.
One more tip I can give to students getting ready for the SAT or PSAT is that basic studying of
math formulas or practice how to properly use a comma or other tips for proper grammar. Being prepared
for the PSAT and SAT can be as simple as studying extra tips and tricks to read and examine questions in
a thorough and quick manner. More help I can give is by helping your odds when you guess. Let’s not
deny it, everyone guesses on the tests; either one time or most of the time, but the help I can give is that
when guessing, choose the answer that can be backed up by information given in the article.
The last thing I want to bring up is what you should do with your SAT and PSAT scores. When
you receive your scores, a major helper is College Board, a website that helps students find their ideal
college and assists them into being prepared for that college. When you find your results on the website,
each section will have lists of your strengths and weaknesses in the respective subject. When going on
College Board, you will most likely have already made a profile but if you didn’t or you can’t remember,
you can always ask Mrs.Spyhalski for help.
From proper guessing to not focusing on time, the SAT and PSAT has a lot of tips and tricks you
can find on the internet and, with College Board, you can be on your road to success to your favorite col-
lege.

High school flies by
High school, the best days of our lives. Did
you ever think about how fast it goes by?
Just think, one day you’ll be waking up for
your last first day of high school. One day you’ll be
showing up for your last sports season. One last set
of exams. One day you’ll be walking downtown
with your friends for lunch one last time. One last
time listening to Mr Barry tell one of his many stories, or having Mr Platte try and hand you a newspaper. One
last day of seeing Mr Beasley's bright self. One last dance. One last Friday night lights. One last class wars. One
last day of high school.
One day you’re going to wake up and realize how little time you have left. You’ll sit there and wonder
why in the world you didn’t want to go to that practice or why you had an attitude in that game. You’re going to
wonder why you let so many things get to you. I know it sounds crazy, but it’ll hit you. When that last day fi-
nally comes, you’re going to wish you could go back and change so many things.
So, to the underclassmen and middle schoolers, don’t take the time you have for granted. ALWAYS
give it your best in every single thing you do. Whether it’s school or sports, you need to, “Empty the tank,” as
Mr. Gordon would say. That last time is coming, and it’s coming up fast.
High school flies by, so make memories and always remember that you’re going to miss this when it’s
gone.

2018 girls track team
This year’s track season had a late start due to weather conditions in April. Even though the sea-
son wasn’t as long, the athletes made the best of it. This year there are three seniors to recognize: Kaelon-
nie Schluckbier, Matilda Perkins, and Cybil Ritchie. These three girls contribute to the team tremendous-
ly. Kaelonnie and Cybil participate in three or the four relays and Matilda does hurdle events and the long
jump. Cybil also throws discus.
In track, you are allowed to participate up to four events in a meet. Each meet can be different
with what place they medal to. It usually depends on how many schools attend the meet. Individual
events, medal higher than team events do. For example, a 100M dash will medal higher than a 100M re-
lay.
This year, Kendra Grafenauer had achieved being First Team All Conference in High Jump.
The 1600M Relay,
800M Relay, and
400M Relay got
All Region as well.
With the small
numbers of girls
this year, their
outcome at the end
showed a lot of
progress since the
first practice.
