Jordan AJ 1 Mid Story by: Benjamin Escalante

Mr. Patrick Haxton Elected TCHS Teacher of the Month for the month of Octo-

ber.

Jordan AJ 1 Mid

To start off, this pair of shoes is amazing! I’m not just talk-ing about the style, I’m talk-ing about everything: the col-or, the weight, the thickness of the shoe, the comfort level, etc. Let’s start with the color. The color, in my opinion, is awesome. The way the white goes with the black...it’s just amazing. I especially like the gray and black dots on the bottom sole. Now, about the thickness of the shoe. On the original Air Force One, the bottom of the shoe was super thick and heavy. The AJ 1 Mid shoe is amazingly light compared to the original Air Force One. These shoes basi-cally go with every outfit you can think of. Also, these shoes are way more comfort-able than the original Air Force One because the sole inside the Air Force One was hard and had a really hard shell and most people had to get orthotics and the Jordan AJ 1 Mid is more comfy. Fi-nally, these shoes are $110.00. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. You can buy these shoes at footlocker.com or at nike.com.

TCHS Sushi Synopsis By Gracie Hickson

Many people say that teens are extremely picky and hard to please,

but one way to please a handful of the TCHS students is through

sushi. Sushi originated from Japan but is becoming popular all over

the world. Senior Allie Mattke, a very big fan of sushi, loves this

aberration from typical daily meals. Allie’s favorite place to get Su-

shi is Sake2Me and the dish she enjoys the most is a Shag Roll.

Sake2Me is located at 2306 Vine St, Hays, KS 67601. Senior Sybil

Giefer doesn’t get the privilege to enjoy Sushi very often; however

she enjoys the rare occasion of eating Sushi.

Sybil stated that she likes the unique texture

and taste of this Japenese originated food.

When asked what her favorite Sushi restau-

rant was Sybil stated, My favorite place (and

also the only place) I've gotten sushi is Dil-

lon's in Manhattan, KS.” The TCHS Sushi

poll recorded that 57.4% of our students

don’t like Sushi and 42.6% do.

Sassy Series Ranking of Thanksgiving foods By MaKaLa Wilson

1.Cranberry Sauce It’s cranberry sauce. Come on peo-ple. We all know it’s disgusting.

2.Yams Yams, a.k.a. orange potatoes. Please, someone. Just tell me why these even exist.

3.Stuffing

I don’t understand you if you eat this. It’s literally crouton slop.

4.Vegetable Platter

Okay. I can understand if you like vegetables. They’re nice to snack on. But, they aren’t the main, savory food at Thanksgiving. You don’t sali-vate and say, “OMG! I can’t wait to dig into the vegetable platter!” No.

5.Corn, Greenbeans, Peas, etc. More vegetables, but warm! Still though, not as savory as the main courses or desserts.

6.Baked Beans Um… More vegetables! But with… sauce of sorts. Sweet beans! They’re actually good.

7.Potato Salad

Wait. Wait. Wait. MORE VEGETA-BLES?! I mean, I personally love this dish because it’s made of NORMAL, white potatoes, but there are many more delicious goodies.

8.Ham

Smoked ham is pretty savory, but sometimes it doesn’t even appear at Thanksgiving. I think it has a good spot at #8.

9.Turkey Finally, the thing that ties this whole meal together. The turkey is actually worthy of salivation. It can be a bit dry though, so that’s a downer.

10.Dumplings

Okay, okay. Dumplings are mushy balls of egg and flour soaked in chicken noodle broth. I personally think that my grandma’s dumplings are delicious. They can be pretty filling.

11.Meatballs

Meatballs, also made by my grand-ma, have ketchup, onion, brown sug-ar, and some unknown seasonings. Now you may be thinking, “Ketchup and brown sugar?! EWWWW.” UM. YUM. I couldn’t care less about the onions, but whatever the sauce is made up of really compliments the beef.

12.Rolls If your family actually makes their rolls, unlike mine, these can be amazing. Soft, warm, savory, lightly buttered bread is a plus in my book.

13.Mashed Potatoes Okay, I know I was slightly com-plaining about all the vegetables, but mashed potatoes are definitely the best non-dessert. It also has to have homemade brown gravy because that’s the best gravy out there.

14.Pumpkin Pie

Dessert. Pumpkin pie may sound gross if you’ve never had it but let me tell you, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Pumpkin pie is spiced with just the right amount of flavors and it’s even better with a dollop of whipped cream. It’s not too sweet, but will definitely satisfy a sweet tooth if you’ve got one.

Fall Fashion By Ashlyn Schonthaler

There are so many different ways to dress up for Fall. Some people like getting cozy in leggings and a hoodie, others go full out in ripped jeans, sweatshirts, and boots. People also dress up in Fall colors like red, orange, yellow, brown, and other earthy colors. People like wearing flannel and velvet too. Many girls also wear and jacket, scarf, or a wool cardigan. They also wear long sleeves and heavier fabrics. Lots of people try to take pictures during Fall because it normally has the best set-ting, and you can take pictures in front of the trees while the leaves are changing. Some fitting hairstyles for Fall would be curled and down, up in a ponytail, in a braid, or a bun. Fall fashion normally starts coming out in July and starts ending in late November. Normally in the Fall, you want to be cozy and warm, but still look nice. Thankfully, there are plenty of cozy and fashionable choices for Fall.

How D-Day Could Have Gone Differently An opinion piece by Daniel Hale

On June 6, 1944, the invasion of Omaha Beach started. Before it started, plans had to be made. the U.S and the British could not agree on which date to attack. At first, they decided to attack on June 4, 1944, but then it started to rain and the ocean was rough, so they had to delay.Then another day went by and it was still raining and the ocean was still rough. Finally, the general came in and said it had cleared up.

Then on June 6th came the first wave of troops on Omaha Beach. While half of the troops were on Omaha Beach, the other half landed on the wrong beach! They landed on Utah Beach instead. The troops were confused, but the most experienced soldier said, “We start the war here.” It took months to plan the invasion. In my opinion, the invasion should have been different. America should have gone to Gold Beach with the British, because the British had Gold taken over in less than 3 hours. The Americans should have started from there, because it was not that hard to take Gold over. Once they started, they could have pushed more troops from Gold Beach to Omaha Beach. They could have saved more men had they pushed to Omaha Beach as well. They could have taken more land if they landed at Omaha as well. We could have gotten to Germany faster. If we had gone to Omaha Beach, the war would have ended sooner than it did. Photo credit: The National Archives

Coffee Corner

By Victoria Hober

Starbucks’ Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is definitely not my favorite. This drink was decent upon first trying it, but the taste left afterwards is disgusting! After drinking it, I felt sick to my stom-ach. This iced coffee bever-age has many delicious in-gredients, but combined did not have a good taste. It is a mix of a Starbucks espresso and steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and real pumpkin pie spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. A bottle of it is 270 calories. I found this drink at my local Heartland Food Grocery Store in WaKeeney, Kansas. This drink is for those with a sweet and spicy tooth, but anyone is welcome to try it. It cost $2.79 plus tax.

What Is TCHS Thankful For?

By Alexis Chapman Various TCHS students were asked what they are thankful for the upcom-

ing holiday seasons. Joey Fry, senior, replied with “I am thankful for all

the teachers who have helped me stay on track and always believed I can

achieve anything I set my mind to.” Sybil Giefer, senior, says that she is

most thankful for the three most important things in her life: “Faith, Fami-

ly, and Freedom.” Desiree Littlechild, junior, commented that she is

thankful for “All the sports and clubs we can choose from.” MaKaLa Wil-

son, sophomore, states that she is thankful for her friends and expresses

this by explaining how they have helped her throughout school and life.

Tori Hober, freshman, shows her excitement for “The amazing teachers,”

here at TCHS. As the TCHS students gather around a table for Thanksgiv-

ing, these are the things that they will be the most thankful for, along with

the precious memories they share with fellow students and families.
