A new source of revenue and entertainment could be coming to
Sanpete County; Mt. Pleasant City Council has set aside one acre of
land near the airport to build a skate plaza.
The idea came from Steve and Kathy Kunik from City Slickers
Sport Shop, located in Mt. Pleas-ant.
We want to give a place to kids where they can skate without
get-ting in trouble, said Kathy Kunik of Mt. Pleasant.
The skate plaza is designed to let skaters and other,
non-skating members of the community enjoy themselves. The plaza is
planned like a park but would accommodate skaters and could also be
used for many other things.
The main hope for the whole plaza is to provide a safe
environ-ment for entertainment and per-formance. Any skater that

North Sanpete High School will be a different place next year
because many teachers and other faculty members are leaving for
other job oppor-tunities.
The impact this change may have on the school is uncertain.Itll
work out, said Vice Principal Jim Bowles.Despite Bowles positive
outlook on the change, there are quite a few
drawbacks with the leaving of these teachers. The teachers
benefit person-ally, but there is no benefit for the school.
Replacements will have to be found for all the teachers leaving by
the end of the school year.
Qualities [they] brought to North Sanpete are hard to replace,
said Ja-son Strate, the future vice principal of NSHS. It will take
time and effort to get [them] back.
The teachers are leaving for reasons varying from retiring to
better job opportunities to changes in scenery.

During the 2008-2009 school year, NSH scheduling will attempt to
broaden the horizons of a Sanpete education. Changes, including a
new attendance policy, new teachers and several new classes will be
offered.
AP English Language and Literature:AP English will be taught by
Catherine Carney and will
be available to seniors starting in the fall of 2008. This is
worth college credit upon passing the AP exam at the end of the
year. This course will focus on the students ability to read and
analyze various text. Students will also have the op-portunity to
learn to write and respond to various genres of literature.
AP English Language and Composition :Benjamin Cox will be
instructing this class for juniors.
Students will have a chance to earn a college English credit if
the AP exam is passed at the end of the year. The course will focus
on composition; students will learn to write with pur-pose, appeal
to an audience and use appropriate tone/style.
Speech and Debate:Tanya Roundy will teach Speech and Debate,
which will
focus on communication skills and persuasion. The class will
compete in debate competitions. Students will learn how to research
arguments. This class will either be an elective or senior English
credit.
Calculus 1210:David Harris will be teaching this class through
Snow
College. Although calculus has been offered as an Ed. Net.
class, students will now be able to take it through the high
school, making it easier for teacher-student interaction. Al-gebra
1050 is a prerequisite for calculus 1210.
Foods II:Teresa Connelly, the current foods and nutrition
teacher
at NSH, will be offering a continuation to Foods I . Foods II
will focus on mean planning and understanding the prepara-tion of
food and good nutrition. It will allow students the opportunity to
learn about creating meals and the keys to smart shopping. They
will also learn more about cultural awareness and the diversity of
food.
Marketing:Ricky Stewart started teaching a marketing class
during
the 2007-2008 school year and will continue it through the
2008-2009 term. In marketing students will learn about pricing,
promoting, production and distribution.
Journalism:Benjamin Cox recently resurrected the NS Times.
Cur-
rently it is offered as a 0-hour course, but at the commenc-ment
of the 2008-2009 term the class will be offered during the regular
school day.
In this class students will have the opportunity to be a staff
writer and contribute through writing, photography and lay-ing out
the school paper.
Yearbook:The yearbook staff has been around for years but next
year
it will be turned over from Catherine Carney to Tina Mitch-ell,
a current business teacher. With more computers, the yearbook staff
will be able to get more done at a faster rate.
Classes may continue to be added before the commence-
ment of the 2008-2009 school year. With a large number of staff
members leaving at the end of the school year, the dis-trict is
working to hire for available positions. New teachers could mean
new classes.
It really depends on who they hire. They all [the teachers]
bring something different to the table, said ODee Hansen, NSH
guidance counselor.

NEW CLASSES AT NORTH SANPETE 2008-2009
BY JOHN ALLEN
Counselors office crowds at the beginning of the school year
will be a thing of the past when North San-pete High School adopts
the new online Class Choice registration system.
At North Sanpete many students change classes several times
before they decide which classes they want to take. Previously, to
change a class, students would have to go to the counselors office
with their parents and decide on a schedule with a counselor. This
has been very time-con-suming, as there are only two counselors for
hundreds of students.
Ive known of students and parents that would wait in line for
hours to change their schedule, said ODee Hansen, the senior and
sophomore counselor at North Sanpete.
With the ability to register for and change classes on-line,
students will have a much easier time getting their schedule set
for the next school year.
Students would see their schedule for the first time when they
came for registration, said Hansen. But with the new system they
have all summer to choose their classes.
The Class Choice program allows students greater op-portunities
to control their own schedules.
The Class Choice system works in conjunction with Power School,
an online system that allows students to
check their grades. Students will first request classes at their
yearly SEOP meeting with the counselor, and their schedules will be
created over the summer. Then, dur-ing school time , students will
be able to select and delete courses from their schedule by
accessing Class Choice online.
The Class Choice system wont show classes students cant take,
and it wont let students select classes that are already full, said
Hansen.
This relieves some stress on counselors since they wont have to
worry about students selecting classes not suited for them. A
display on the right-hand side of the Class Choice screen directly
shows students how the classes they select affect their graduation
requirements.
Another benefit of Class Choice is that it prepares students for
college where almost all class registration is done online, said
Hansen.
Class Choice helps high schools prepare students for college by
letting them use online registration with counselors.
Any time a student has special circumstances, we will work with
them, said Hansen. This way they can use the online registration
and also meet with the counselors if they need to.
Phoenix Learning Systems, the provider of Class Choice,
indicates that Class Choice will make registra-tion much easier for
faculty members and students.
It makes things a lot simpler, said Hansen.

3NEWS BRIEFSAttendance effortsThe proposed attendance-policy
chang-
es mentioned last edition will be put into effect for the
2008-2009 school year.
This policy will allow 15 absences, with contact for the
intervals before fifteen.
After five absences a letter will be sent home to the parent(s).
After ten unex-cused absences poor attendance must be mitigated or
corrective measures will be taken. After 15 absences a student can
be recommended to a juvenile court.
FBLA State ConventionThe NS chapter of FBLA recently at-
tended the state conference in Ogden. The event was held April
1-2, and members from across Utah competed in a business-related
contests. NSH members placed in seven competitions: Benjamin
McCulloch of Fountain Green placed ninth in Spread-sheet
applications; Parker Earl of Mt. Pleas-ant, Jared Jakins of
Fountain Green and Drew Kleven of Mt. Pleasant placed ninth in
Network Design; Brette Richmond of Mt. Pleasant placed seventh in
Web Design; Brittany Campbell of Mt. Pleasant and Re-bekah Larsen
of Fairview placed seventh in Emerging Business Issues; Campbell
placed third in Electronic Career Portfolio; Larsen placed third in
Economics and first in Personal Finance. Campbell and Larsen
qualified for the National competition. It will be held in Atlanta,
June 26-29.
Some just want to go home, according to Bowles. He holds nothing
against the teach-ers who want to leave because hes not going to
stop anyone from returning home.
If it wasnt for the fact that it was home for me I wouldnt be
going, said Richard Peter-son, a shop teacher at NS.
Although these teachers are planning on leaving North Sanpete,
they still have happy memories of their job.
Ive been very happy here, said Dr. Roy Ellefsen, who will be
retiring and taking a teaching job at Snow College.
Many of the teachers share Ellefsens view on the school and are
very sad about leaving, but not sad enough to make them stay.
The changes in store for next year are weighing on some students
minds.
Im nervous how next year is going to turn out, said Chante
Birch, a junior from Mt. Pleasant.
With the teachers leaving, many students are asking the same
questions as Birch and are wondering how they are going to manage
without the same class opportunities they have this year.
Whatever the reason or the cause, North Sanpete High School is
in for a difficult change that will have to be handled with
pa-tience.
BY CALEB ROSE The 2008-2009 school year will see many
new faces and some old faces in new places.Jason Strate, a
graduate of North Sanpete
High School class of 1990 and current teach-er of Multimedia I,
Multimedia II and Foun-dations of Technology, will hold the
position of vice principal this coming fall.
I look forward to doing my job and work-ing with Mr. Bowles,
said Strate. I want to see and help the staff keep generating good
students.
Upon graduating from North Sanpete, Strate attended Snow College
where he ob-tained his Associates Degree. Strate then at-tended USU
and received his Bachelors of
Sta, continued from page 1 +BTPO4USBUFOBNFE71GPS
Science (BS), and Masters of Science (MS). Strate then worked
for two years in the Da-
vis County School District. A job position at North Sanpete
Middle School opened, and he applied and was given the position of
the new TLC (Technology/Life/Careers) Tech-nology 1 teacher. He
taught there for three years before moving to the high school where
he currently teaches. He obtained his Admin-istrative License from
SUU, with which he could hold any administrative position in a K-12
setting.
Last summer I finished my internship; I earned the 24 credits I
needed to get my ad-ministrative license, and with that I applied
for the vice principal position here and the Mt. Pleasant
Elementary rincipal position,
said Strate. They gave me the vice principal position here.
Strate went into education as a career be-cause he had good role
models that influ-enced his life goals. He considers himself a
major people person.
Strate is looking forward to the coming school year and changes,
such as the new at-tendance policy.
Before, we didnt really have an atten-dance policy to work from,
but now the school district has developed one that will be very
effective, said Strate. What I want to do is get more kids involved
cause then they have a less chance of dropping out, they need
friends and need to be involved in sports and clubs to stay
focused.

to wear a helmet for safety and have an ID card. This is to
ensure the protection of those who enter the park.
The plans also include a roof for winter ac-tivities.
It would still be cold, yes, but at least they would have a
place to skate, said Kunik.
In addition to entertainment, the skate pla-za could help boost
the recreational economy and raise revenue for the valley.
We want to help out our valley and our economy, said Kunik.
Pro skateboarders would likely come for
Plaza, continued from page 1
competitions or to shoot films for companies. The plaza could be
used for concerts and can hold concessions or booths.
If you build it, pros will come, stated Kunik with a smile.
The plaza will cost $600,000 to $750,000 to construct. City
Slickers would like dona-tions. Donors will be rewarded for their
gen-erous contributions with a name-engraving on a wall in the
plaza or an etched colored block in the cement.
The plans are still in the works, but if ev-erything goes as
intended, Sanpete residents could have a new source of revenue
along with some fun.
Math CompetitionOn April 7, nine students traveled to a math
competition at Snow College.At the competition students took a
test
with 40 questions. Each right answer gave the students up to
four points, while each wrong anser deducted one point from the
students overall score. There were 160 points possible.
Schools were split into divisions, the NS division contained
nearly 300 stu-dents.NS sent Todd Johansen, Landon Carter, Hilary
Workman, Tauni Suther-land, John Allan, Tanner Allen, Cody
Sand-ers, Benjamin Everitt, and Diana Robison.
Senior Todd Johansen, the 2007-08 math Sterling Scholar,
received 2nd place at the competition.

Our View As seniors across the country apply for admission and
scholarships to higher-ed-ucation institutions, some are being
rejected and some are being accepted because of one factor that
should never matter: race. Affirmative action, according to the
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, refers to positive steps taken
to increase the representation of women and minorities in areas of
employment, education and business from which they have
historically been ex-cluded. Even though affirmative action is
meant to rectify past wrongs, it is committing even more of these
preferential crimesit is inadvertently sustaining what it is
fighting against: discrimination. Along with this major point,
affirmative action also has many other detrimental effects on the
areas it manipulates business environment, reputa-tion of workers,
etc. The theory of affirmative action was formed from good
intentions. It has been ar-gued that desirable diversity cant be
obtained in any other way; women and minorities need an advancea
pushto help them overcome years of unfair bias. Affirmative ac-tion
might have helped set right some of these wrongs at first, but now
the practice has gotten to the point of reverse discrimination.
Better-qualified men and Caucasians are being passed over in
college admissions on basis of race only, businesses are hiring to
fill a diversity quota, and this is wrong. On the other hand,
affirmative action can put a blemish on the accomplishments many
successful, driven women and minorities. Some skeptics may argue
that they made their way while holding the hand of a political
action committee or a policy that opened doors for them. This may
be absolutely false, but there will always be that little niggling
thought at the back of the mind of the skeptic. A person may be
perfectly competent in his or her area of expertise with no outside
help, but affirmative action in effect gives this cynical view some
substantiation. Affirmative action is wrong; it is a form of
injustice . Ability and determination should be the yardstick for
success of the journey, not skin color or gender.

I think the jazz band and the concert band deserve more
recog-nition. They have done very well at state for the first time
in three years, and nobody seems to know anything about it.
~Charlotte Larsen
New policy disagreement
I feel that the new attendance policy should be reconsidered.
Al-lowing students only 15 absences is going to be hard on all
students, especially if the excused absences count as well. If a
student becomes very sick or goes on a trip, it could become a trip
to juvenile court. Also, if tardies add up to an absence as well,
then keeping the absence count low will be even harder. I feel we
should be allowed more than 15 absences.
~Cathy Bench
Same old, same old
I am sick of seeing the same faces time and time again in the NS
Times. Why not notice all of the students? It seems like the same
Sterling Scholars and lame football players are in the paper every
time. Everyone has a talent. Why not notice others for a
change?
~Whitney Mckay
Block schedule
I feel that the block schedule at North Sanpete works really
well. It gives students more time to do homework by switching days.
It also makes it harder for students to sluff.

BY REBEKAH LARSEN
On April 15, fourteen of the best and brightest students of
North Sanpete competed in one of the most prestigious scholarship
programs available to Utah students: The KSL Sterling
Scholarship.
Richfield High School hosted this years central region
competition at the Sevier Valley Center. Over a hundred students
from Delta, Gunnison Valley, Juab, Manti, North Sevier, Richfield,
South Sevier, Millard, Piute and Wayne competed in several areas
for scholarship opportunities offered across the state.
Its a great program; Im glad I did it, said Scott Bentley, the
Science Sterling Scholar for North Sanpete. We met a lot of
well-qualified people competing.
North Sanpete had runners-up in three categories, and one winner
overall. Whitney Ison, Rebekah Larsen and Brittany Campbell were
all runners-up in the Dance, Business and Mar-keting Education and
English categories, respectively. Scott Bentley was named the 2008
Sci-ence Sterling Scholar for the Utah Central Region.
The Sterling Scholar program has been a part of North Sanpete
since 1972. Each year, stu-dents can apply to represent their high
school in one of 14 categories: English, Speech and Drama,
Mathematics, Social Science, Science, Foreign Language, Visual
Arts, Computer and Information Technology, Trade and Technical
Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, Business and Marketing
Education, Music, Dance and General Scholarship. Each nominee
usually has much experience in the particular area to which he or
she is chosen.
After school-level scholars are chosen, they must prepare for
the region competition, which is held in the spring of their senior
year. Scholars prepare portfolios detailing their involvement in
their categories, the community and school.
Its very time-consuming, said Nan Ault, the Sterling Scholar
advisor at North Sanpete. But its also a way to close the door on
high school. The best part is what the students learn about
themselvesthey get to collect and put it all in a book.
And many NSH scholars agree. The collections, prided on being
unlike scrapbooks, allow scholars the opportunity to shine in
citizenship, leadership and academics.
Even though I didnt win, Im glad I did a portfolioI can look at
what I did, said Tabitha Morin, the North Sanpete General
Scholarship Sterling Scholar 2008.
Scholars submit their portfolios for judging in the spring, and
the scholars then head to the hosting school for interviews.
Depending on the category, performances and presentations can be a
part of the interview.
A week after interviews, the Sterling Scholars from every school
in the region assemble for the presentation of awards. Region
Sterling Scholars and their runners-up are presented with
scholarships to schools across the state. Most scholars are given
full-tuition waivers to many of the secondary schools in
UtahUniversity of Utah, Brigham Young University, etc.and

runners-up receive half tuition. Cash prizes are also
awarded.Since North Sanpetes first year of participation in 1972,
the program has since become a
significant part of school history and tradition. Many of the
current staff at North Sanpete were Sterling Scholars in their high
school years; names and portraits of the current scholars are hung
at the entrance of the school.
The 2008-2009 North Sanpete Sterling Scholars have already been
named, and participants are excited for the upcoming year.
Ault is ready for the new crop of scholars, and feels they will
represent North Sanpete well.I am excited for everyone. They all
have good attitudestheyre very excited and enthu-
siastic.
Battle of the Sexes at NS: Dierences in many areas, but also
similarities
BY JEREMY ZABRISKIE AND KATIE CARPENTER
Over the course of history, the line between boy and girl has
begun to blur into androgyny.
Other than obvious anatomical differences, which have remained
unchanged, there are a number of other differences that are still
prev-alent in this andryogynistic era.
Such examples include learning differences and infantile
development.
Girls develop linguistic skills more quickly and readily than
their male counterparts, whereas boys develop better visuospatial
skills. This explains boys general acclima-tion to math and
science, and girls skill in pedantry.
Proof of this comes in the form of toddler examination. About
21percent of boys were able to build a bridge of blocks, whereas
only 8 percent of girls could do the same.
Also, boys and girls develop motor skills differently. Boys
develop motor skills more quickly while developing, as opposed to
girls
who develop more slowly, thus increasing their fine motor
skills.
Because of this, boys are better at physical activities,
whereas girls are better at handwriting, zipping jackets, and
doing all of those things that require intricate finger
maneu-vering.
Girls dont care as much about sports, and they cry a lot, said
Jayson Nielsen, sophomore, Ft. Green.
Also, girls tend to pay more attention to people, while boys
focus on mechanical things. This explains why girls play with
dolls, and boys play with trucks.
Other than biology and development, boys and girls differ
sociologically.
One study found that boys are generally ruder than girls, in
that they are more inclined to voice their opinion.
When given lemonade that was tainted with salt, boys were more
inclined to state their opinion, whereas girls would politely
lie.
On the other hand, it has been shown that girls are often subtle
when it comes to showing their discontent.
Boys are more violent, but girls are meaner to girls, and its
harder at school, said Jillian Coombs a junior from Fountain
Green.
So, even though times have changed and equality is in-stinctual,
there are still perceptible differences between boys and girls.

The NSH Student Library Advisory Board and the Mt. Pleasant
Public Library are team-ing up, once again, for the creation of a
summer reading program for Sanpete County.
The theme, Books for the Road: Travel the World and Beyond,
includes several genres that are both satisfying for the junior
high summer reading assignments and for the eagerness of the avid
reader. The genres include fantasy, science fiction and historical
fiction; three books per category have been selected.
The birth of Books for the Road, a community reading program now
on its second year, works to encourage reading among families and
individuals busy summer lives.
PHOTO BY NAN AULTThe 2008-2009 Student Library Advisroy Board
poses as they voice new goals and select new books for the school
year.
Books for the Road back and with new advisorsThe 2008 summer
theme begins each summer month with the introduction of a
far-off
fictional world. Each of the three months, starting in June, has
the potential of taking many community members on road trips to the
far corners of creativity. The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander,
Stealing Freedom by Elisa Carbone and Girl in Blue by Ann Rinaldi
are just a few of the selected books.
The North Sanpete Student Library Advisory Board consists of
students who are passion-ate about reading and the many benefits a
literary-centered life has to offer. Promoting read-ing, gathering
funds for their local libraries and generating creative
communication are the core aspects of their goals. Specifically,
the newly installed 2008-2009 advisors are working to bring an
author to North Sanpete High, promote reading during the 2008-2009
school year through various competitions and to purchase new pieces
for the high school library.
I think students forget what its like to actually hold a book,
sit down and read it, said Nan Ault, the Student Library Advisory
Board advisor. The advisors help remind students that reading is a
part of life, and its a skill that is necessary in college; they
help keep this a priority.
Comprised of various high school students, these enthusiasts
invite all to participate in a literary centered blog. This Readers
Blog encourages community members the opportunity to write about
their latest literary journeys. With high hopes of many
participants in the Readers Blog the collaborating parties hope to
invite several authors to participate.
As well as the monthly selected book, Books for the Road
supports the 7th, 8th and 9th grade school reading requirements.
Sanpete supporters hope to allow students the opportu-nity to enjoy
and accomplish without pain, the set summer assignment.
Because this is a summer program, the three novels are available
at the Mt. Pleasant public library. Due to the summer closing of
North Sanpete high schools library, the high school has allowed
their copies of the summer books available at the public library.
With these contributions the North Sanpete High library hopes to
provide as many copies possible for summer check-outs. Prizes and
incentives to meet set reading goals are allotted by the Mt.
Pleasant public library. Last summers prizes included gift
certificates and an ipod.
A community reading program, though on its second year in
Sanpete County, has been successful in larger surrounding counties.
The North Sanpete School District, student li-brary advisors, and
Mt. Pleasant public library hope to bring this popular reading
success to our local communities.

Only once during the school year at North Sanpete can students
paint toenails with their teeth, run around with grapefruit between
their legs and stuff their faces with flour on a stage.
Every spring, students at North Sanpete High School participate
in the Student Body Of-ficer elections; whether they campaign for
office, eat the breakfasts provided by nominees or cheer at the
election assembly at the end of campaign week. This year, April
14-18 was the week set aside for candidates to campaign.
Candidates for SBO must have a 3.0 GPA. All potential runners
are narrowed down to eight runners, four on the S team and four on
the N team. The S team for this year consisted of Allison Sego for
President, Taylor Ricks for Vice President, Valerie Demille for
Secretary and Landon Carter for Activities Agent. The N team
consisted of Ryan Aagard for President,
Chante Birch for Vice President, Cheyne Christensen for
Secretary, and Jared Bailey for Ac-tivities Agent. All nominees
were juniors.
After being nominatde and separated into teams, the candidates
then spent many rigorous hours after school campaigning for their
teams and themselves. This year, on the breakfast days, the S team
made pancakes and the N team made scones. At lunch the teams played
mu-sic and gave out suckers. The teams also set up video games,

When peering through the halls at North Sanpete, a variety of
fashion styles can be ob-served. Clothing, accessories, and
hairstyle all play a part in determining fashion, and each style
has a different historic background.
One of the most common styles at North Sanpete and in Utah is
the preppy fashion. Prep-py is a term that refers to old
preparatory schools in New England. These schools had strict dress
codes where polo shirts, skirts and khakis were required. This
style spread across the country and can still be seen in 2008. The
preppy style is now commonly identified with brands such as
Hollister, American Eagle and Old Navy. Preppy style started to
modernize when people started wearing sportswear with addition to
the standard polo. Why do fans like this style?
I like my own style because its comfy, and I like clothes that
fit my personality, said Ali Stallings, a junior from Mt. Pleasant
who wears such brands frequently.
Another common style in Sanpete is known as skater. It started
in the early 1950s at the coast of California with the advent of
the skateboard. Cheap baggy shorts and big, print t-shirts are
usually seen on wearers of this style. Today most professional
skateboarders wear what their sponsors have provided for them, and
many teens copy the pros style; the skater style is a utility
style, meant to make skating comfortable. Many students at North
Sanpete sport the skaters trend every day.
I dress the way I do because I like skateboard brands, said
Jorge Morales, a junior from Mt. Pleasant who wears skater
brands.
My style suites me and my personality. It expresses who I am,
said Manuel De Leon, a senior from Mt. Pleasant and also a wearer
of the skater style.
Some of the less common styles at North Sanpete are big in other
areas of the country. One such style, gothic, is a name for a
fashion that originated in an ancient Germanic tribe that was known
for predominant black hair and dress, with white faces and black
makeup. This style has evolved to include a few additions. The
black makeup and clothing still exist, but a mixture of darker reds
and blues have crept into outfits. A few students at North Sanpete
display this style, but it is not common.
Another fashion that isnt very common at North Sanpete is the
emo (emotional) style. This style didnt make its first appearance
until the late 1980s. Purposely uncut hair and stud belts with
tight shirts are common features of this style. Some have argued
that emo has peaked, but the style has been evolving and many are
still going strong with the traditional features.
Indie is an up-and-coming style that has recently been growing
more popular. Indie start-ed when small, alternative bands with
independent record labels began to attract more and more fans who
imitated their fashion styles. Indie is characterized by a lack of
print tee shirts, but a lot of vintage clothes or dresses with
older jewelry.
Many students appreciate the variation in fashion that can be
seen at North Sanpete. I think people should try something
different, said Michelle Atwood, a sophomore from
Fairview.Ashlee Mower, a junior from Fairview, feels style is
meant to please the wearer. I think that people dress the way they
do because it is the most comfortable, said Mower.Perhaps sophomore
Karen Crosland from Moroni sums it up best. I dont think much about
how people feel about the way I dress, but I hope they are com-
fortable and feel like themselves around me, said Crosland.
NEWS BRIEFSFFA State Convention
Spring Break has come and gone and while many students went to
warmer places to vaca-tion, 19 FFA members put on their blue and
gold and headed to Cedar City for the 2008 Utah FFA State
Convention.
Located on Southern Utah Universitys campus, members from across
the state gathered at the Sharwin Smith Center to attend various
leadership workshops. The state convention marks the end of NSHs
2007-2008 FFA year. Various honors were awarded and state officer
candidates were interviewed and elected. Members attended five
general sessions and a key-note session, which featured the
National FFA Advisor and member of the National Board of Education,
Dr. Larry Case.
This year North Sanpetes FFA chapter received a Superior Chapter
Award, which is need-ed to compete in any of the CDE (Career
Development Events).
This year four members, Brittany Black, Julian Kelso, Shawn
Brinkerhoff and Tanner Al-len earned their state degrees. A state
degree is the highest award a student can achieve on the state

team is currently in 2nd place in region.
BY SCOTT BENTLEYThe North Sanpete boys tennis
team rose to the occasion Thurs-day, April 24 as they returned
home from Delta with a decisive 5-0 vic-tory.
Senior Josh Benson, first singles from Fairview, looked to
rebound from two tough losses on Wednes-day against opponents in
Lehi and Manti. Benson played a flawless first set despite strong
winds, end-ing in a 6-0 win.
As the wind proved to being chal-lenging, Bensons opponent
adjust-ed accordingly and stole the second with a 6-3 victory.
Benson maintained his compo-sure as he blew through the final
set, 6-1.
The coaches had to fiddle with the varsity lineups once again
with Michael Lewis out because of an

After the disappointing set, Clark displayed a personal best in
the re-maining matches. Clark drove the second set into a
tie-breaker and was able to win 7-3.
Clark continued in Bensons win-ning stride finishing the evening
with a final 6-3 win.
Brian Anderson, a senior from Fairview, looked to maintain his

upon press release.
BY CHEYENNE SYME The Lady Hawks Varsity Softball battled hard to
jump
out of their rut, last Thursday. Unfortunately, luck was not on
their side.
The girls started out strong in the 1st inning with Shelby Earl
hitting a homerun, followed by Alisha Peckham who hit a double and
Erika Mays single giving the team some points.
Despite the Hawks attempt to combat the weather, the violent
winds tore at the players. The girls experienced sun, snow, extreme
cold and wind all in one game. Thanks to this cruel weather players
hands were numb and the ball was impossible to hold on to. Which
helped Carbon increase their points.
On the offensive side the pitchers Shelby Earl and Swa-zie
Holdaway were firing strikes as much as Carbon would allow.
Late in the game Coach Chad Larsen-Moroni gathered in the girls
and said. Come on, step it up and complete our goalsyou got to
fight for it.
Taking the challenge on themselves the girls cracked their bats
against the neon balls, sending them high and far into the air. For
what could have been doubles or triples, except Carbons mitts
seemed magnetized to the ball. Ev-erything the Hawks hit out into
the field Carbon caught.
The girls kept up the fight and refused to give up. Erika May
sent a double; Alisha Peckham did the same sending Erika home. Then
Amanda Poulson hit a homerun giving the Hawks some hope. Still
Carbon continued to snatch up possible homeruns. The final score
was Hawks 5 and Carbon 7.
In better conditions the Freshman-Sophomore, pulled out a
victory despite the weather. Hawks 8 Carbon 5. J.V. also triumphed
with 4 to 0.
Win, lose, sunshine or snow the girls kept trying, and gave it
all. They came and left that field true Lady Hawks.

NS offers girls golf for the first time, coach and players are
encouraged by improvement
BY CHAD MCKAYThis spring at North Sanpete High School, a new
sport joined the roster of baseball, soccer,
and track team, and that is the girls golf team. This will be
the first year at North Sanpete that they will be offering a girls
golf team. In addition to North Sanpete, Juan Diego and Delta have
also started girl-golf teams. The team began practicing on March
10, but had some difficulties because of the cold
weather. The usual driving range was covered in snow, so the
team went to Skyline Golf s driving range to practice. This spot
has since become the teams usual practice spot.
The girls golf s first match was at Delta on April 2. The team
scored a 225; individually, Malinda Sorensen hit 71, Raberta
Garlick hit 67, Percinda Anderson hit 72, Ashlee Mower hit 79,
Julie Holman hit 79, and Krista Hudson hit 81. Delta Scored a 176
and Juan Diego scored 215.
On April 23 the girls hosted Delta and Juan Diego at Skyline and
did very well there. Mal-inda Sorensen hit a 57, Raberta Garlick
hit 66, Percinda Anderson hit 62, Ashlee Mower hit 59, Julie Holman
hit 71, and Krista Hundson hit 72. Overall the team scored 187, and
Juan Diego and Delta scored 177 and 175 respectfully.
Todd Hansen of Moroni is the coach of this new team, and he is
very excited about this new sporting opportunity.
Girl sports do better than boy sports, so why shouldnt be
different? said Hansen. There are six girls on the golf team, and
they consider themselves the most improved
team. Starting out we had some of the worst scores, but now we
have improved a lot, said Ash-
lee Mower, a junior from Fairview.The team will be going to Juan
Diego on April 25 and to Delta on the 30th. State Golf will
be on May 14.

Track prepares for strong showing at region
BY CHANA THOMPSONFor the NSH track team, the season pushes
onward with success. The home track meet on April 15 ended with
freezing temperatures, but NS athletes per-
formed well in the adverse conditions.The home meet was a good
turn-out, but according to head track coach Scott Butler of
Fairview, the weather was colder than a mother-in-laws kiss.
Seven different schools attended and participated in the meet but
many left early due to
the bad weather. The schools that came consisted of Juan Diego,
Emery, Richfield, Carbon, North Sanpete, Wasatch Academy, and
Delta.
With region and state in sight, preparation is still a priority.
New coaches and training proves successful for NS track athletes.
Coach Butler says that exercise is increasing flex-ibility and
strength.
The track team is doing a lot of drills specific to running and
throwing mechanics. Hours and hours of practice running, jumping
and throwing have been statistically beneficial. The track members
times are dropping, and distance is increasing.
As coaches we try to convince the athletes that they can do what
we ask of them and we try to build their confidence, said Coach
Butler.
For the rest of the season, seniors Hayley Carr, Sylvia Bedford
and Katie Curtis continue to fulfill their role as leaders on the
team; pointing the way for younger athletes to follow.
Over the next four weeks we expect several of our school records
to be broken. From this point on we expect to see improvements, BIG
improvements from the athletes. We hope to
win Region but it will be a battle with Delta. We also expect to
qualify a lot of kids to state, said Butler.
Some of the accomplishments obtained by the NS track team
include having a very strong core of distance for the boys headed
up by Senior Shaun Russon.
They also have a lot of depth in all the girl events. The
freshmen girls and sophomores did really well at Provo against 3A,
4A and 5A schools. The track team has placed high in all the
invitationals that they have competed in.
Currently Jessica Lindow is ranked 3rd out of state in the
shotput and 6th in the discus. Also, junior distance star Stephanie
Honey continues to dominate our region in distance races.
The North Sanpete track coaches have high expectations for the
rest of this season and hopes that the athletes will perform to
their greatest ability.

Three 1s and State is in the air
A successful year with superiors at StateBY SARA LAFOLLETTE
On April 11-12, the State Drama competition at Emery High
brought students from across Utah to-gether to compete and several
of North Sanpetes dra-ma students came out on top.
Region drama competition took place on March 27 at Carbon High
School. Most of our NS competitors qualified for State, including
the one-act play, He Said, She Said, which placed first over-all.
Allison Phillips also received an award for best supporting
actress. The North Sanpete Drama club placed third overall.
State was much more competitive, with 16 schools competing at
Emery High, but North Sanpete stu-dents still did exceptionally
well.
It was awesome, said Tanya Roundy, the current drama teacher at
NS. I think [they] did a superb job. It was a very good
experience.
Roundy has reason to be pleased. The success this year was
substantial in comparison to some of the past years at state.
Haylie McFarland, a NS senior, has no-ticed the difference in
results.
We had a lot more straight superiors this year than
previous years, said McFarland.McFarland, partnered with Erin
Cowley, received a
superior rating at state and took third in region with their
scene from The Person I Once Was.
Students were given approximately a month and a half to prepare
their scenes, monologues, panto-mimes, the one-act play anda new
addition to the State competitionmusical exhibition pieces.
At state, the one-act play He Said, She Said received an
excellent rating. McFarland and Cowley received superiors, and
Dawnica Gull and Dominick Keifer received an overall excellent with
their scenes. Mat-thew Daley and Kjarsti Todd received superiors
with their pantomimes. Brigham Blackham, Laurel Bailey, Summer
Spaulding and Chad McKay received supe-riors for their monologues.
Blackham and Bailey did humorous monologues, while McKay and
Spaulding performed dramatic monologues. Robert Peel and Heather
Barker performed a duet for musical exhibi-tion, and Sara
LaFollette performed a solo. Both per-formances received
superiors.
See page 11, Drama
NSH Drama competed at the State Competition on April 11-12 at
Emery High. Several members received superior ratings. Dramas
closing ceremony will be on May 16 in the high school auditorium at
7 p.m.
BY SARA LAFOLLETTE
After twenty-eight years under the direction of Dr. Roy
Ellefsen, the North Sanpete choir has had its share of success. The
choir achieved excellent ratings once again at the Region Choir
Competition held at Emery High School on April 17.
On a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the highest, the NS choir
received 1s from all three of the judges. Such a fine choir!!
Ambitious program, and Thanks for a great performance are only a
few of the comments the judges gave the choir.
[Its the] best choir weve had in years, said Ellefsen. Its been
several years since NSH has received a state-wor-
thy score, and Ellefsen is pleased that this year turned the
tables.
Im retiring, said Ellefsen. Its nice to come out on top.Ellefsen
selected pieces designed to impress the judges, and
its apparent that they did. All of the pieces have foreign text,
are challenging to play
and require a great deal of focus to properly execute. They have
their individual difficulties as well.
Hanacpachapp Cussicuinin is sung in an ancient Incan lan-guage
and uses a rich and impressive blend of percussion in-struments. O
Fortuna demands that students reach high notes, with incredible
pace and intensity; and In Paradisum is chal-lenging for its soft,
angelic nature.
The choir competes at state on May 9. Regardless of regions
impressive results, Ellefsens expectations for state remain
neu-tral.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you dont, Ellefsen said. You dont
want to take too much of it personally.
The end-of-year concert is on May 14. All three of the choir
competition pieces will be performed, including solo and en-semble
pieces, and a few others the choir has prepared.

competition on May 9.

Drama, continued from page 10It was pretty good competition,
McFarland said, referring to state.
There were some really amazing scenes that were performed up
there. I think we did pretty well. There were a lot of winners.
Roundy has confidence in the future of the drama department. Ive
learned a lot from this year, and I plan to make it better next
year,
said Roundy. Some of the changes Roundy plans to implement into
the class are on a
level-based scale. She seeks to separate the students according
to experi-ence, hoping to tailor the classes according to the
students individual skill and familiarity levels.
The Drama clubs final event is the closing social, which will
take place on May 16 in the high school auditorium, where seniors
one acts will fol-low dinner at 7:00 p.m. accompanied by awards and
performances.
Seniors explore careers in EnglishBY JOHN ALLEN, KRISTINE BUSBY,
SARA LAFOLLETTE,
BRANDI PEAHL
As graduation draws near, North Sanpete High seniors are
considering what careers they would like to pursue.
One of the many career options that interest several stu-dents
revolve around the many avenues of writing. However, writing is a
difficult career to start and publishing work is challenging. It is
important for aspiring authors to establish a good literary
background.
I plan to major in creative writing, said Katie Healey, a senior
from Spring City. Healey hopes to become an au-thor and publish
novels for a living. Currently, she has writ-ten several poems and
is working on a few novels. However, she is aware of the difficult
publishing process, and knows that most writers see many obstacles
and work through struggles.
If I fail in writing I want to be an English teacher, said
Healey.
Because it is so difficult to be successful, many writers have a
back-up plan. Various writers find other employment to add to the
income they earn from writing.
Though Healey intends to make a career of writing, there are
other writers at NSHS who write simply for enjoyment. One such
writer is Allison Phillips, another senior from Spring City.
Right now I am writing for myself, said Phillips. Phillips takes
pleasure in writing lyrical poetry and is also
working on a novel. Though she mainly writes for herself, she is
also aware of
the publishing process.Ive been to writing conventions, said
Phillips. I know
that it can be difficult. Phillips is not overly concerned about
being published,
but she is not opposed to the idea.If somebody likes [my book],
then okay take it, said
Phillips. It is unlikely, though not unheard of, for an
unknown
young author to publish a bestselling book, but a few have done
it.
One such author that experienced success in the pub-lishing
world was 19-year-old Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. She
was essentially the first young author to publish a popular novel,
doing so within the challenges of 1818. A few others have followed
her example, such as Christopher Paolini who wrote the renowned
novel Eragon and its sequels..
However, these authors are an exception to the general
rule-of-thumb. Most authors, especially young ones, are al-most
ignored by publishers. It takes thousands of hours and many years
to do well in writing.
But another aspect of writing that publishers look for is style.
And for many writers style is what comes naturally. Phillips
appreciates the beauty of the words and uses a po-etic form of
prose. Her writing is carefully constructed to sound musical to the
ear. While Healey, on the other hand, uses writing as a way of
developing relationships, and under-stands the importance of good
characters.
The connections your character makes, make your char-acter, said
Healey. Often publishers will be drawn to a cer-tain prose by
characters and the way they are portrayed.
Healey and Phillips are both passionate writers, and un-derstand
the time and commitment it takes to produce a good piece of
literature.
Do you want to get your work published? Here are a few tips.Have
a completed manuscript. If someone in the publishing industry shown
interest in your work, youd better have it ready for them. Revise,
revise, revise, and edit, edit, edit. Your work must be as per-fect
as you can get it. Write query letters to publishers and agents
with examples of your writing.Dont expect to publish your first
novel. Keep hoping and keep work-ing.
