Boy's Basketball

The boys basketball team had a game against Bloomsburg on Febuary 17th. They lost but didn't go down easily. Their top scorers included Lucas Meises with 12, Walker Day with 9 and Gino Cannon with 8. Lucas Meises also mastered rebounds with 6 followed by Ethan Culbert with 4 and Caleb Irvin with 3. All of these scorers are sophmores. The Lions went down hard but are prepared to come back next year for a victory. The crowd turnout wasn't big considering it was an away game but Coach Day is very proud of the performance his Lions gave him this season. Overall the Lions improved a lot over this season. In the process of rebuilding their team because they lost a senior last year, they learned what it means to work as a team and have won multiple games as a result. The fact is that they are a young team and have room to improve. Its exciting to see what future years will hold for them as they progress!

World's Fair


On February 15, 2011, the high school geography class held a World’s Fair in the school auditurium duing second period. All of the students came up to see the displays of many countries. The students had the chance to visit each display and ask questions about each country. Each display had two interesting facts to tell the students. Some displays had food to give to the students to help represent the countries better. Europe was the main continent displayed in the Fair, however South America and Central America were represented also. The reason the World’s Fair was held was to help both the presenting students and the rest of the school learn about our world. About a week before the Fair all of the students in the geography class had to research their own country and present that country in front of the class. The country that the student researched was the country they had to present in the World’s Fair. The school was pleased with the results of the Fair.

Drama

With less than a month away, the drama team is very busy. In order for the production of A Man Called Peter to be pulled off by April 8th, actors need to memorize all lines by March 23rd, the set needs to be completed, costumes need to be put together, and actors need to become their characters.

How’s all of this coming? Let’s start with the memorization of lines. In the last rehearsal, most of the supporting actors had the majority of their lines memorized. Some of the major characters have yet to memorize their lines totally. All of the drama team is very familiar with their script, but they still have some polishing to do.

The set is coming along well! There have been two Saturday set days where students have come in and along with Mr. Keith Knowlden and have built stage extensions so that the set may fit the stage. The walls have been painted and will be finished in upcoming days.

Costumes are still in the idea phase right now, as characters are trying to figure out what they would have worn. If you wish to help out with costuming, please tell Mr. Keith Knowlden.

As for getting into character, the actors are doing a very good job. This play is not an easy play to act, as it is a drama and not a comedy.

Don’t forget to put the dates for the play on your calendar, April 8th and 9th!
