BATTLE OF THE SEXES

On February 15th our school had a volleyball game where senior girls face the senior boys.  It’s an event to help raise money for our DECA club. The girls have won almost every year, but the boys finally squeaked out a W this year!

PI DAY!

March 14 (3/14) is Pi Day, a celebration of the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — one of the most beautiful and confounding numbers in mathematics. It’s technically written as 3.14159, or 3.14 for short, but Pi is an “irrational and transcendental number” whose decimals “continue infinitely without repetition or pattern,” according to PiDay.org, the holiday’s official website.

Dakota Clevidence wins WIAA Athlete Award

Each week throughout the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Administration recognizes varsity athletes who exhibited an outstanding performance for the previous week.

One of this weeks winners is HHS baseball’s own Dakota Clevidence (SR) who went 4-4 with three homeruns and nine RBIs, as the Timberwolves beat Columbia River 17-12 in a non-league game on 3/9. He scored three times and had a double!

Each winner of the WIAA State Athlete of the Week Award will receive a letter of recognition from the WIAA Executive Director, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week T-Shirt and certificate.

Congratulations Dakota!

MOUNTAIN AIRE by Mr. E

The writers’s grandfather, Donald Cline, in backyard on California Ave. in Oak Ridge, TN.

 

I pull through Stubb Stewart State Park’s Dairy Creek West campground and I see no one. I see what looks to be a parking lot for recreational vehicles.

Cyclone. Avalanche. Raptor. Hornet. Voltage. Hurricane. Outlaw. Outback. Razorback. Komfort. Mountain Aire. Chateau. Bullet. Cougar. Arctic Fox. Road Warrior. Thor. Aerolite. Denali. Fun Finder.

Thor has a three-legged stand out front, holding a large DirectTv® satellite. The tripod is pinned to the ground with yellow hi-vis twine tied to orange plastic stakes. Why is Mountain Aire’s “aire” spelled with an “e,” I wonder? And why is Aerolite missing the “g” and the “h” that are normally present in “light”? Does “lite” feel “lighter” without them? Yes, I realize—it actually does.

 

But then, is a liteweight trailer better than a heavy one? I consider cyclones and hurricanes and avalanches and raptors and outlaws. I’d be inclined towards something heavy, I think. Read more

STRAWBERRIES by Lynsey Gates

He had finally left the house, I was alone. It felt great to be alone.  Trapped in my room all the time wasn’t fun.

It was always dark and cold, no heat. My floor was cement with a thin layer of carpet on top. My bed was a thin mattress.

I never knew when my uncle was going to turn into a different person. Some days, he was just angry and took it all out on me. I didn’t always live with him. I used to have a family who loved me and cared for me. When I was 6, my mom and dad got in a car crash. My mom went into a coma and never woke up, and my dad died when the truck hit the car. Read more
