Bear River's “Student Dress and Grooming Code” states that the minimum length for shorts, skirts and dresses are expected to be no more than four inches above the knees. Bare midsections or bare backs are not allowed, and any clothing that promotes drugs, alcohol, tobacco, pornography, inappropriate language or cults are not allowed. Layla Walker, a junior student at Bear River High believes that we shouldn’t have a dress code because people should be allowed expression. If it’s hot, teenagers should have the ability to wear something that will allow them to be comfortable. What could be improved? Layla says that if she could change anything about the dress code, she would make bandanas allowed again. Another Bear River student, who wishes to stay anonymous, feels that the current dress code is “relaxed and lenient”, and that they feel they can express themselves through their outfits at school. They don’t have any complaints against the dress code and feel that it’s fine the way it is. In the article, “The Art of Self-Expression: How Fashion Can Speak Volumes About You” it says, “It speaks volumes about who we are as individuals, with fashion being a vehicle for self-expression and connection to the external world.” This being said students can still have their individual style while following the school dress code.

Parking in Bear River High School is a critical part of our day. It's important because it's what starts your day and if you don’t get a good parking spot then that means you have to walk further. At Bear River if you want to have a parking spot you have to go into the office and pick the spot you want. There are three different parking lots. There is the Natatorium parking lot and that is free, then there is the big parking lot. The big parking lot is $5 a trimester so it's $15 a year and then the last parking lot is senior parking and that is behind the school. Senior parking is $20 for the year. Although it is more expensive, it is closer to the school so the seniors don’t have to walk as far as you do for the other parking lots. When you pay for your parking spot you get a sticker that you are supposed to put on/in your car that shows that you have that parking spot. Parking spots can definitely be frustrating because there are kids that think that they can park wherever they want, and when someone is in your spot you don’t have anywhere to park so then you either have to go park on the side of the road if there is a spot or just take someone else's spot. Kiya White, senior at Bear River High School, parks in the Natatorium and so she's in the free parking lot and the past two weeks someone keeps parking in her spot then she has nowhere to park so she has to find somewhere else to park. Kiya goes to bridgerland for the first half of the day and when she comes back for 4th hour she has nowhere to park because someone is parked in her spot. Kiya likes that we have assigned parking spots because it makes it easier to get back to school and not have to worry about having to find a parking spot. Kiya just wishes that people would just respect the assigned spots. Article written by Isabelle Gibbs, Blake Hall, & Aspen Hill Lilly P. listening to music during Stage Tech Music, The Coping MechanismMusic is a big part of teenagers' lives. For Lilly Pederson and Morgan Ravsten, it is a part of their personality and who they are as a whole.
Lilly always has at least one headphone in at all times. Stress and anxiety are big parts of Lilly’s life, and she claims music is her first coping mechanism. “I always listen to [music] when I’m sad.” Most of the time, no matter what Lilly is feeling, she listens to Alternative Indie. Lilly says, “[Alternative Indie] makes me feel more mellow and grounded.” Music helps her calm down and feel more peaceful. With that, Morgan Ravsten has a very different perspective on music. Morgan is a really big K-pop fan and likes many groups. She enjoys this type of music so much that she goes to concerts to support her favorite groups. Morgan suffers from anxiety and depression, and uses music to cope. She often listens to different artists depending on how she feels. “When [I’m] feeling anxious, definitely Stray Kids. When I’m happy, any K-pop group. And when I’m sad, definitely The Rose,” she says. There are times when people are rude to Morgan. She expresses how the music helps when dealing with these situations. “The lyrics of the song, they’re very meaningful and it’s like, that’s true and not these people.” Music helps Morgan, and many other people, to feel validated and secure in their emotions. According to NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants), they have the “results from a study identifying how and why music holds so much meaning for today’s teens.” The study claims that “music helps teens release or control emotions and helps them cope with difficult situations such as peer pressure,...pressures of study and family, [and] the dynamics of friendships and social life.” This study also shows that music can serve as a release as well and members of fandoms find friendships that could be hard to make in the real world. Music makes people feel things, whether it’s to feel good, secure, sad, or deepen a feeling that is already being felt. Music brings things to teens, people in general, that helps them cope and find security in their lives. It’s time to go out and find your music and share it with the world. Article written by: Lilly Topham Audrey M. (on the left) and Reese J.(on the right) smiling for the camera. *SPOILER WARNING: Avatar: The Way of Water Spoilers Movies show many themes and emotions, and everyone at least once in their lives has that special connection with a movie, TV show, or maybe a short film. Audrey Marble and Reese Johnson share some experiences connecting them to the movie, Avatar: The Way of Water. In Avatar: The Way of Water, Jake and Neytiri lose their oldest son, Neteyam, to getting shot on the enemy warship. Jake responds in shock while Neytiri explodes in anger. Audrey who lost one of her friends to suicide, says, “Its brought plenty of emotions. There's been a lot of guilt and sadness and just missing him and regret.” Audrey admitted to feeling all sorts of emotions; sad, numb, guilty, and mad, both when her friend died, and when she watched the movie. Feeling a mix of what Jake and Ney’tiri felt, Audrey connects herself to these parents who lost their eldest son. Another aspect of the film Audrey connected with was the way the movie illustrated the traditions that were being broken. Jake is not originally Na’vi, leaving Jake and Neytiri very different from the rest of the Na’vi. Audrey’s family is different from the rest of her relatives. “When my dad left the family business, there was a lot of tension and rift between everyone else.” Reese has also found she could relate to many aspects of the movie. In Avatar, the Na’vi are forced out of their home for the second time due to the Sky People. The Sky People and the Na’vi don’t take the time to get to know and understand each other. When Reese moved from Pennsylvania to Utah in the middle of her seventh grade year, she felt like an outcast for being new and finding the wrong group of friends at first. “If these people don’t know who you are right away, it makes it really hard for you to get in with groups of people because they don’t know you.” Most of the time, people don't understand other's clear intentions at first. Another element Reese connects to is Jake and Neytiri's rules. In the beginning of the movie, we see Jake being upset at Neteyam and Lo’ak for not obeying his orders to just survey and keep watch. The two brothers are not really sure as to why their father won’t let them help and fight. Reese mentions how she misses out on events and experiences due to her parents' rules. “Especially with my parents, they’ll make rules but then they don’t ever explain to me why we have these specific boundaries, and so I’m like, I can’t do that, and then I miss out on experiences and stuff. But I think it’s something all parents do.” For anyone wanting to see this amazing cinemat movie, it is in theaters now! Other people have made their own connections and maybe you can too!

Picture taken from google Many teenagers perceived themselves as too slender or overweight. For teenage girls ages 12 to 17, anywhere between 95 pounds to 120 pounds is amazing! For boys of the same age, 85 pounds to 130 pounds is perfect. Even though this is what is considered fit, it all depends on height. “However, women with the same BMI but different body weights and heights can differ significantly with regard to their weight gain” (Neonatol, Relationship between Weight and Body).The taller a person is, the more weight is needed to provide the correct amount of nutrients. Many students at Bear River High School enjoy working out in their own ways.
Abram Dow, a student at Bear River High School, enjoys spending most of his free time at the gym. “I started lifting and going to the gym heavily about five months ago.” Dow said. He wanted to be able to get stronger and work on his own body image. “Fitness is super important to me. I want to be able to look and feel my best.” Dow also mentioned that he goes to the gym for about an hour and a half to two hours a day. Even though this is how long he goes for, he said it is very important to pace yourself and make sure you aren’t overworking your body. He recommends starting at half an hour to forty-five minutes. Eugene Wilcox, a gym teacher at Bear River, talked about how important fitness is to him as well. He loves being able to help kids be active and feel their absolute best at all times. “ I think everybody should try and exercise at least once a week. It makes you feel good and can help strengthen your immune system.” Wilcox said. He also talked about how he believes it is easier for teenagers to get fit and stay that way. “They just seem to have a lot more time than adults.” When asked what his favorite way to exercise was, Wilcox made it very clear that it was not running. “It’s definitely the best way to do it, but I hate it.” he said. Fitness is an important thing for everyone because it helps with physical and mental health. Astrology chart A glance at the sky on a clear night could show you how your day will go, at least that’s what astrology says. Astrology is a belief that the position of celestial bodies, such as planets, the moon, the earth, the sun, and the stars, can determine a lot about one's life.
The five main aspects in Astrology are conjunction (when 2 planets on your chart align), sextile (when two or more planets are 60 degrees apart), square (conflict between two planets), trine (being a favorable person to the celestial bodies), and opposition (when two sides are across the wheel from one another.) Serenity Nish, a student at Bear River High School, said “I got really into Astrology because of my grandmother. She always loved the stars. “Nish talked about the differences between everything in the chart. Beginning with the elements of the signs and how the seasons affect each sign differently. “ I know a lot more about water and Earth signs. I should do more research but I’m mainly water and Earth. “ Nish also mentions that there are a lot of issues with Astrology within the community. “ I’ve also been interested in Astrology more than most, I mean you talk about it and it feels like everyone is just judging you.” Nish goes on to say that there is no scientific proof against Astrology, therefore there should be no judgment. “My advice for everyone who is interested in learning about Astrology is to definitely learn your own chart first. Know what works around you and what planets can affect it.” Nish said when asked about advice for highschool students that are curious about Astrology . Nish also talked about Mercury Retrograde. Her definition of it was “Something that happens three times a year. I don’t know a whole lot about it, but I do know that it can bring out a lot of different emotions, and it can be different for everybody. It happens at the end of January, end of August, and mid October.” Mercury retrograde is when the planet Mercury is appearing to move backwards, this is not actually the case. Mercury is just in a slow state of its normal movement. In Astrology, Mercury retrograde is known as a time to work on yourself and focus on what you want. Mercury Retrograde is known for causing emotional distress and hardship. The zodiac signs (Aries, Cancer, Gemini, Leo, Sagitarius, Aquarius, Libra, Capricorn, Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus, and Picses.) have a huge connection to Astrology. When figuring out your zodiac, you must know where and when you were born. This information is used to figure out how the stars were aligned on that specific date. The star formation is what determines your sign. To learn your zodiac sign, refer to the chart below. Taken from google photos You may not ask yourself why Ralph from Disney's Wreck-It-Ralph acts so peculiar. Well, if you didn’t before you sure are now. Ralph is dealing with behavioral and social-cultural dilemmas. Ralph is Impulsive, has chronic emptiness, is afraid of abandonment, has intense anger, and much more. It can be seen that at the start of the movie he is unable to accept himself and the role that he plays. But as the story progresses he learns that he's "a bad guy but that doesn't make him a bad guy."(Zangief) As I mentioned before Ralph is very impulsive: he lets his emotions get in the way of his rational thoughts, pushing him toward decisions that don’t make sense and virtually have no logic. He is trying to be accepted for what he thinks others want him to be. This pushes him to “jump games” to try and become “a hero.”
Another big element would be chronic emptiness. At the beginning of the movie when we meet Ralph he looks like he has completely given up. His job doesn't bring him the same joy that it use to. Everyone hates him simply due to the fact that he's a "villain". "Man, it sure must be nice to be the good guy," he says. By the end of the movie, Ralph finds a way to accept and love himself. Whereas at the start the only thing he feels is empty. As I just mentioned Ralph has an unstable self-image. Ralph lets himself be defined by the means of his environment, that he is trash just because he lives in a dump, or that he's a "villain" just because people labeled him as such. A big problem that Ralph runs into is a lack of self-confidence. Ralph lets himself change from moment to moment based on many elements, specifically how others treat him. Ralph's mood jumps constantly; he's sad, he’s happy, he’s angry, he’s scared. I quickly lost count of how many different times his emotions jumped randomly. His biggest emotion is anger. As his name is “Wreck-It-Ralph”, he destroys stuff for a living. We see him smash all sorts of things from cakes to giant bugs to the landscape around him. Ralph often loses his temper over even small things. He lets his anger control him. Ralph is a character with many problems but by the end of the movie, he learns how to cope with most of them. This problem is not exclusive to Ralph, it’s something many people suffer from every day. But it is something that can be handled as Ralph has shown. It’s a solvable problem if you know you have a problem. Article written by: Tessa Reisner (In our last article, we talked about the effects of PTSD and how one may develop PTSD. As a reminder, this article contains sensitive content. A trigger warning is advised to those who are reading.) Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder that affects millions of people in the world. To be diagnosed with anorexia, certain symptoms will manifest. These symptoms include a refusal to maintain healthy body weight, an irrational fear of weight gain, disturbance in body weight and shape, and amenorrhea (the loss of the menstrual cycle). In Bear River High School it is estimated that five to six percent of students suffer from some type of eating disorder. Ben Wiley, a counselor at Bear River, says that there is a recognized problem throughout the school. Wiley also said, “Everyone thinks that an eating disorder has to do completely, 100%, with body image. Often times it doesn’t.” He continued by explaining that it has a lot to do with having control over our own lives. Teenagers don’t have a lot of control over their lives. Parents pay the bills, work, and even control where teenagers go. An eating disorder could be seen as a way to control some part of an uncontrollable life. The impact which anorexia has on a person is huge. But it may also affect those around them. Clinical depression is often found side by side with an eating disorder, which can cause rapid mood swings, shyness, and even social withdrawal. Symptoms to look for include: the thinning of bones, brittle hair and nails, jaundice (yellow-pigmented skin), mild anemia, and a drop in internal temperature, to list a few. Along with anorexia, which is a mental disorder, is bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a psychological disorder that affects the chemical balance inside one's brain. Mental Health UK lists the types of bipolar as Bipolar type one, Bipolar type two, Cyclothmania, Mixed bipolar state, and Rapid cycling bipolar. All of these have different criteria in order to be diagnosed. Bipolar takes its toll on an estimated 2.3 million Americans, many of which go unmedicated and undiagnosed. Wiley also mentions that it is crucial for students who think they may be suffering from Bipolar to talk with their parents or guardians. Mental health is a huge issue all over the world, and it’s very important for everyone to receive the help they need. Wiley said, “[Bipolar is] like a rollercoaster…Constant ups and downs.” These “ups” can be a spurt of happiness or even an episode of mania. Mania is an elevated state of mood in which one has rapid thoughts, hyperactivity without sleep, overflowing self-esteem, and even the loss of touch with reality. Many diagnosed individuals describe a manic episode as a feeling of invincibility. Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder may include: heavy mood swings, delusion, lack of thoughts or excessive thoughts, and impulsivity, to list a couple. Getting help is always the number one priority with any mental illness. Many of us are feeling unbalanced and unsure. If you or a loved one needs help, please reach out to those around you.

(*This article is about a very sensitive topic, and the information was gathered with utmost care. This article may cause triggers.*) Losing loved ones, the loss of limb or body parts, sexual assault, everyone has gone through something traumatic. Officer Gailey, a police officer and a teacher at Bear River High School said,“As first responders we see things no one should have to see.” Post-traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD is a real problem that no one can get away from. Even though we know about its effects and ways to treat it, PTSD still takes its toll on the lives of first responders, veterans, and even students who have experienced something traumatic. PTSD can affect anyone for so many different reasons. Brandon Webecke experiences PTSD when he drives. Here is his story: Two years ago, on I-15, heading home from a concert, my mom and I saw a car swerve, a flash of something, and then another car run off the road. We stopped to help because my mom is an EMT. The driver wasn’t moving. He appeared lifeless; he had been shot in the head. Next to the man was his college-age son. I tried to calm the son down as my mom gave medical attention to stop the bleeding. We waited until the cops and ambulance got there. We had no idea where the shooter went and if he would come back to finish the job. After that day, I can't get rid of the sight of the man slumped over in the driver's seat, or his son trying to wake him. PTSD happens unexpectedly, you can’t plan for it. Traumas that can lead to PTSD may include: violent assaults, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, fires or natural disasters, automobile accidents, senseless acts of violence, and other shocking events. Students can experience a wide range of traumatic events that can affect them in many harsh ways. Some traumas can affect students individually. Other traumatic events can affect an entire school. PTSD-like symptoms can begin at different times depending on the person. It can range anywhere from right after the trauma, to weeks or months after it. Students with PTSD may show the following: they may seem irritable, anxious, cranky, or angry. They may seem detached or depressed, they might have problems paying attention or concentrating, or problems sleeping. The horrors people have to go through, from first responders to students can leave a lasting impact on them for the rest of their life. Dave Parnell, a retired firefighter from Detroit once said, “I wish my head could forget what my eyes have seen.” If you suspect that you or someone close to you is going through something like this, talk to a mental health professional. Written By: Brandon Webecke By Brennan Jensen Artwork by Brennan Jensen Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) started as an indie horror game developed and produced by Scott Cawthon. Scott had never before made a horror game, and most of the games he made never made that much traction. But after he released the first FNAF title that all changed, the game skyrocketed in sales. People were intrigued with the concept and the storyline, along with the horror and overall feel of the game. Soon Five Nights at Freddy’s would be a staple in the horror genre of video games.
Scott would make seven games, releasing a game every year, even a teaser for a Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. He would soon collaborate with Steel WoolTM to make three releases with an official team who could make FNAF in a way that previously wasn't possible: a Virtual Reality (VR) title, making it more up-close and personal. An Augmented Reality (AR) game would soon follow. The most recent, FNAF: Security Breach, brings Five Nights at Freddy’s into the ‘80s, and adds free-roam. Although it pleased fans to finally see this game, it would come to have its controversies. Although it was years in development, when fans began to play the new title, some were disappointed. The game seemed to have content that was unfinished. It had glitches that were game-breaking or immersion-breaking. Although it had a lot of glitches, the glitches somehow made up for its non-scary aspects and made it fun, which is where the next point starts. Fans seemed to find that the new game wasn't as scary as previous titles: with it’s bright and luminous environment, removing the dark elements of the previous games that made the other games much more terrifying. “It’s more by the chance of the jumpscare,” said Mickell Germer, a fan. She implied that though the jumpscares made you “jump”, that was the only scary aspect of the game. Does the game live up to the franchise? Germer responded, “I think it’s a good step for the game to be honest. ‘Does it live up?’ Honestly, I think so, it definitely didn’t take a path none of us could foresee, but it’s definitely one we all really enjoyed. Although, in a way, it’s like a separate game from the rest.” It seems that although the game has its glitches, more fans seemed to enjoy it. Despite how it turned out, fans have their complaints and it overall was very different from the previous games. But maybe a change of pace for this game is exactly what this franchise needs. The first game will always be, to most fans, the best game with its horror and it’s unique style. Future games may never live up. But fans both old and new are all enjoying the new titles for the series, even after Scott’s retirement. By Dane Black Jaxon DeCoursey, showing off his love of the game. Pokemon is the number one franchise in the world and they just released a new game, Pokemon Legends Arceus. Fans are finding that the more recent Pokemon games have been incredibly lacking and I am glad that this game changes the formula.
Pokemon has always had a standard formula that hasn’t changed much since 1996: it's always been battle trainers, catch Pokemon and become the champion of the region. This new game does away with becoming the champion and focuses more on catching the Pokemon and filling out a large encyclopedia of Pokemon called the Pokedex. The game changed the catching mechanics from being turn-based to being closer to that of a third person shooter. It’s way more interactive and engaging than the old formula. They also changed to combat in the game. It’s more dynamic and real time rather than turn based. They added new mechanics to it, one of the improvements being the new speed mechanic; a player could go two maybe three turns before the opponent attacks. Jaxon DeCoursey, a long time fan of Pokemon believes “This is the best Pokemon game of all time. It has one of the best stories.” Hayden Howell however has a very different opinion. ”The older games were just more interesting. The world is just too empty. It’s just a Pokemon game, their stories are never good.” Hayden may have a point that most Pokemon game stories are bland and not as expansive as other games. For gameplay Hayden stated that he generally likes what he calls the “slog of the older games”. He finds the new mechanics to be “innovative but not what the series should go with.” Jaxon on the other hand loves the flow of gameplay. The story is pretty average but more interesting than the last two games. The story starts in the land of Hisui, a strange portal has opened and it has caused sacred Pokemon to become enraged and start attacking the people. The player's purpose is to fill out the Pokedex and calm the enraged beasts. It’s interesting how two people who have been long-time fans of Pokemon have very different opinions. Jaxon says that everyone should play this game and this is how Pokemon should be from now on, while Hayden says that this should be a one time experiment and everything should go back to the way it was from the beginning. I agree with Jaxon, the new game is making great strides to change the formula. This is what I hope the new standard for Pokemon will be. I give this game a rating of five-out-of-five. By: Madisen Child Welcome back to the seventh installment of “This Day In History,” where we feature a prominent event, birth, and death from one day spanning all of human history. Today, we are focused on May 12.
Death: The American Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, gave rise to a lot of famous war veterans. One such veteran was J.E.B. Stuart, a Confederate general. Stuart was born as James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart in Virginia. He was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel of the Virginia Infantry in May 1861 and fought for three years. Stuart fought in nine battles before dying at the battle of Yellow Tavern in 1864. He was shot by Union private, 44-year-old John A. Huff. The bullet hit him in the left side, went through his stomach, and exited his back just an inch away from his spine. Though he was shot on May 11, he would survive until 7:38 p.m. on May 12, where he died at the home of Dr. Charles Brewer, his brother-in-law. Event: Music has come a long way throughout history, especially with the technology we have now. For many, surround sound is a common part of their musical or cinematic experience. However, the world’s first surround sound concert wouldn’t be played until 1967. Pink Floyd, a rock band formed in 1965, would become the first band to play in surround sound at a concert called “Games for May.” Christopher Hunt, the music promoter who approached the band, called the event “Space age relaxation for the climax of spring -- electronic compositions, colour and image projections, girls and THE PINK FLOYD." This concert would be played at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in the South Bank performing-arts district of London, where the band originated. Before now, the venue had only been used for classical music. Birth: Tony Hawk, as famous as he is, is notorious for not being recognized. Plenty of his tweets picture stories of him being approached by people not-totally-sure if he’s actually Tony Hawk. It makes for a funny ongoing joke online. Hawk was born Anthony Frank Hawk on May 12, 1968 to Nancy and Frank Hawk. He is the youngest child with two older sisters, named Pat and Lenore, and an older brother named Steve. He was born in San Diego, California. Hawk would grow up to become a famous skateboarder, even being featured in his own video game called Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in 1999. One of his most recent appearances was his role in the third season of “The Masked Singer.” By: Tom Kuchar People running to get to their cars! People falling over each other to cross the street! You would think they were outrunning a tsunami or a flash flood. No, these are students on their way to lunch from Bear River High School.
Bear River High School has three main parking lots available to students. Senior parking is available at a price and provides students with their own assigned parking space. The other two parking lots are free public parking, but are first come, first serve. The issue with parking in these free spaces is arguably the lack of supervision and organization. Students scramble to leave for lunch before others. Trucks line up three in a row attempting to leave through the same exit. Students constantly fear for damage to their vehicles and pedestrians. In reaction to this parking lot mess, the school has graciously provided a crossing guard before and after school to protect pedestrians. Students who park in public parking all have similar opinions on the parking lot. Avery Jaskowski, a student who was in an accident leaving the parking lot, said, “It’s so crammed. People can't see around the corners. It's super packed and there's a lot of blind spots in the parking lot.” While the crossing guard may address part of the issue, many feel more should be done. One suggestion would be to have an adult outside on the main exit to help regulate traffic and let students know when it is their turn to go. This would prevent students cutting each other off and theoretically prevent accidents in the future, creating a safer and more functional parking for students. By: Enoch Whitaker Welcome to the fifth edition of New Music Friday, where I will be reviewing the most notable releases from last Friday. This includes albums, EPs, and singles from a variety of musical genres. After listening to each project a couple times, I will give my personal thoughts and opinions on it, then a score out of 10. This week I will be reviewing “ROADRUNNER,” the latest album from Hip-Hop/R&B collective Brockhampton, and “Shy Away,” a single by alternative band, Twenty-One Pilots.
To kick off this issue of New Music Friday, we have the latest album from Brockhampton, “ROADRUNNER.” This is the first album from Texas based collective in over two years, with the last album being titled “Ginger.” I was very excited to see what Brockhampton would do on this record because, over their last couple albums, they have slowly gotten less experimental and gone more in a basic direction. I got my answer for my question almost immediately as the opening track “BUZZCUT” has a very experimental beat and “in your face” sound. The heavy bass slowly fades away the longer you listen and it seems to unravel itself into a beautiful outro. The next song that catches my attention the most is “Bankroll” featuring A$AP Rocky. It also has fantastic production and the featuring is top tier from A$AP. Further down the album you find “The Light,” another very enjoyable listen. It features an instrumental layered with synths that I can’t help thinking that Sir Elton John played it himself. There are more songs I did enjoy on this record but those were just the most notable to me. I personally was really pleased with what Brockhampton did with this album sonically. They did have many great songs on this album and were better than most of their other records from the past. I still have this album on repeat and will for the coming days or even weeks. Overall, I am feeling an eight out of ten on “ROADRUNNER” and would definitely recommend it for a listen. The other release from last Friday that I will be reviewing as previously mentioned is “Shy Away” by Twenty-One Pilots. This is the first new piece of music from Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn in just about a year, and it serves as a teaser track to their upcoming Sixth Studio Album, “Scaled and Icy.” This track wasn’t what I was expecting from the duo. Twenty-One Pilots is no stranger to changing up their styles and they have often dipped their toes into about every single genre of music there is. I have listened to some of their previous works, but this seems to be a little differential with some similarities. It is the same guitar band that we have seen in the past with the same drum hits but more of an indie sound. Tyler Joseph's voice seems to fit this type of sound great and the two of them seem really comfortable on it. There’s not too much to say about this track as it is pretty basic and nothing too crazy, but that is what makes it so good. Overall, I am feeling a seven out of ten on “Shy Away” and I would recommend it. This week we had a lot of highs when it comes to new music being released. From Brockhampton’s fantastic new album to the indie highs of “Shy Away”, there was plenty of great music released last Friday. I would like to thank you for reading the latest edition of New Music Friday and I hope to see you next time. By: Madisen Child Welcome back to the sixth installment of “This Day In History,” where we feature a prominent event, birth, and death from one day spanning all of human history. Today, we are focused on April 28.
Event: Billy the Kid was an infamous criminal in the “Wild West” era of American history. He was born William Henry McCarty in 1859, though his exact date of birth is disputed. McCarty was orphaned at age 15 after his mother died of tuberculosis and his father abandoned him. His crimes started only a year later when he was caught stealing laundry from Sarah Brown, who had let him stay with her in exchange for work. From then on, his crimes only escalated. He quickly gained a reputation as an outlaw, including an alleged 21 murders. It was today, in 1881, that McCarty escaped from Lincoln County Jail in London, New Mexico. He had been incarcerated for the murder of a sheriff during the Lincoln County War. Unfortunately for the young desperado, Sheriff Pat Garrett would catch up with him at Fort Sumner on July 14 that same year and he’d be shot to death. Death: Italy often gets overlooked for their role as an Axis Power in World War II. The Nazis of Germany and America’s personal grudge with Japan after Pearl Harbor left little room for them in the eyes of history, it seems. However, Italy was suffering with its own problems during the war. Benito Mussolini was the Fascist dictator of Italy that worked alongside Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo. After Allied troops invaded Italy in April 1945, Mussolini and his mistress escaped to Switzerland with the intention to go to Spain. Two days after their escape, they were stopped, identified, and arrested. The next day, April 28, they were shot to death with fifteen other members of the Italian Social Republic. Their bodies were kicked, spit on, hung upside down from an Esso gas station roof, and stoned by civilians. Birth: Terry Pratchett was an English humorist, satirist, and author who wrote over 41 novels. One well-known novel is his collaboration with Neil Gaiman, “Good Omens: the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” known mostly as just “Good Omens.” The story is a comedy about the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley attempting to sabotage the apocalypse, as well as a “Switched at Birth” esque subplot involving the Antichrist and a normal human child. The book has since been turned into a TV series, released in 2019. Pratchett was born as Sir Terrence David John Pratchett on April 28, 1948. He was born to David and Eileen Pratchett in Beaconsfield, England as their only child. Pratchett would grow up to be an extremely gifted individual. His story “The Hades Business” would become his first commercially published story when he was only 15. By: Enoch Whitaker Welcome to the fourth edition of New Music Friday, where I will be reviewing the most notable releases from last Friday. This includes albums, EPs, and singles from a variety of musical genres. After listening to each project a couple times, I will give my personal thoughts and opinions on it, then a score out of 10. This week I will be reviewing “El Dorado,” the latest album from Califronia Rapper/Singer 24kGoldn, and “Montero,” a single by Georgia Native, Lil Nas X.
To start off this week's edition of New Music Friday, we have the debut album of rising artist 24kGoldn. The album is titled “El Dorado” and has a run time of just under 40 minutes. To give some insight into his past, the Califronia songwriter first blew up a year ago with his first two viral singles: “Valentino” and “City of Angels.” Shortly after, he then dropped his first mixtape titled “Dropped Outta College” which was nothing short of average with him showing great potential. Listening to his latest single releases from the past couple months have left me excitedly waiting for this album to come out. Sadly though, I did not find this album to be what I was hoping to hear. On “El Dorado” it feels like 24kGoldn is confused on what he wants to be, musically speaking. A week or two back, the California artist self proclaimed that he was better than “more than half of the rappers in the game.” With that bold statement one would think that this album would be a very rap-centered album, but that isn't true. Pulling up the album on Apple Music and Spotify, it is listed under the “Pop” genre. I would have no problem with that if it actually was the case. Just about a half of these songs are way more rap than they are pop. In my opinion, 24kGoldn is a much better popstar than he will ever be a rapper, and I mainly enjoy the pop songs on the album. 24kGoldn seems to be trying to entertain both audiences and it makes this album worse than if he just stuck with one sound. I’d like to sum up this album with an old saying: “If you hunt two rabbits at once, you end up losing both.” Overall, I am feeling a solid five on “El Dorado” by 24kGoldn. The second review for this week is “Montero” by Lil Nas X. The Georgia artist first blew up with his 2019 record breaking single “Old Town Road.” Since then, he has released one EP and several singles, all to high critical acclaim. To give some history about this song, it was first teased in June 2020, going by the name “Call Me By Your Name.” The song seems to take inspiration from the 2017 romance film going by the same name. It wasn’t until a couple weeks ago that he told his audience that one, he would be releasing the song soon and two, that the new title would be “Montero,” which is also the artist's first name. Now it is time to talk about the actual song itself, which to no surprise, Lil Nas X delivers again. The track starts off with some angelic harp-like cords that set the foundation of the instrumental. The instrumental then continues to layer itself with some potent guitars and drums. The singing on the track by Lil Nas is not anything spectacular and seems to be sub-par at some points, but it doesn’t really affect the track in a negative way at all. The lyrics are set up in a very simple way with an intro, a chorus, a verse, a chorus, and then the song is over. That is what is most commonly found in music these days and it can seem a little repetitive. Despite those couple of complaints, I still really enjoy this single. Lil Nas X seems really confident and comfortable on this song, and in my opinion it was well worth the wait. I am feeling a strong eight on “Montero” by Lil Nas X. This week we had a lot of highs and lows when it comes to new music being released. From 24kGoldn’s underwhelming album to the flying highs of “Montero”, there was plenty of great music released last Friday. I would like to thank you for reading the latest edition of New Music Friday and I hope to see you next time. By: Madisen Child Welcome back to the fifth installment “This Day In History,” where we feature a prominent event, birth, and death from one day spanning all of human history. Today, we are focused on April 14.
Death: George Fridric Handel was a famous German composer active in the early to mid 1700s. Handel is responsible for composing The Messiah, a two and a half hour long biblical chorus. The most famous portion, or at least most recognizable, is the Hallelujah chorus. This chorus has been played in many movies, usually in comedic settings during triumphant moments. A little known fact about this chorus has to do with the old tradition of standing as it is sung. The story goes that King George II stood during this part of the song, most likely to stretch his legs. Since he was the king, the rest of the audience followed. The rest was history. Handel died in London at 74 years old. He died of a stroke and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Event: Detective fiction, such as the stories of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, is a widespread genre. Although Sherlock may be the most well known detective, he definitely wasn’t the first. In 1841, Edgar Allen Poe published a book called “Murders in the Rue Morgue.” It featured a detective named Dupin who investigated the murders of two women, Madame L’Espanaye and her daughter. “Murders in the Rue Morgue” and the adventures of Dupin isn’t a long series. In fact it’s only classified as a short story. With this story, Poe paved the way for a new brand of fiction. Since then, it’s only grown. Birth: Robert Carlyle is a Scottish actor who started work in 1990 and is still active today. Carlyle was born in 1961 to Elizabeth and Joseph Carlyle in Glasgow, United Kingdom. He has featured in many movies and TV shows over the years, some more recognizable than others. One such show is Once Upon a Time, which ran from 2011 to 2018. It is a dramatic fantasy series about fairytale characters from all kinds of stories. Carlyle plays Rumpelstiltskin, also known as Mr. Gold. Gold has a knack for throwing a wrench, or maybe a dagger in his case, into other people’s plans for his own gain. Some hate him for it while others love him for it. Either way, many will agree that Robert Carlyle does an excellent job portraying Mr. Gold as well as his other characters. By: Enoch Whitaker Welcome to the third edition of New Music Friday, where I will be reviewing the most notable releases from last Friday. This includes albums, EPs, and singles from a variety of musical genres. After listening to each project a couple times, I will give my personal thoughts and opinions on it, then a score out of 10. This week I will be reviewing “Scary Hours 2,” the latest collection of songs from Canadian Rapper Drake, and “Feels,” a single by rising American popstar Khalid, and WATTS.
To start off, we have three new songs from one of the world's biggest artists: Drake. This is the second “Scary Hours” project with the first one being released just about three years ago in 2018. The whole concept of the “Scary Hours” series is to tease a bigger and grander upcoming album. The last time a “Scary Hours” album was released it contained two songs with a run time of just under eight minutes. Those two songs would later be featured on Drake’s next album, “Scorpion,” which was released about five months later. This time around we were gifted with three songs with a run time of just under thirteen minutes. Just like the last “Scary Hours,” these songs will most likely be featured on Drake’s highly anticipated upcoming album, “Certified Lover Boy.” The first song on this compilation of singles is “What’s Next,” a song with a hyper electronic synth based instrumental. Drake seems to just bounce and flow extremely well over this beat for the entirety of the two minutes and fifty eight seconds. This was a fantastic opening track and really sets the stage for the other two songs. The next song is titled “Wants and Needs” and includes a feature from Atlanta Rapper, Lil Baby. This song is a lot more mellow and has an interesting instrumentation with distorted synths providing the main melody. This track did not seem very special to me if I am being honest, just more of what we have already heard from Drake. The last track is titled “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” and contains a feature from Floridan Rapper, Rick Ross. This track is pretty long with a run time of six minutes. Despite its long run time, I did enjoy this one a lot. The feature from Rick Ross is excellent and the instrumental compliments both his and Drake’s voices pretty well. Unlike the other two songs where Drake is very braggadocious, he actually opens up about himself, his life, and his past. This makes the song very chill and is a great way to end the collection of songs in my opinion. From the highs of “What’s Next” to the chill vibes of “Lemon Pepper Freestyle,” I can say that this was an enjoyable listening experience. I would definitely recommend this and I am feeling a seven out of ten on Drake’s “Scary Hours” The next and final thing that I will be reviewing this week is a brand new single from American singer Khalid and a rising artist WATTS. This is the first song both artists have put out since last year and I’m happy to say that they’re both starting out on the right foot. This track titled “Feels” is an R&B track with an outstanding instrumental full of synth piano chords, gentle drum hits, and soft but heavy bass. This creates an aura of upbeat and calm vibes around the listener. Going into the song, I did not know how WATTS’ and Khalid’s voices would work with each other because they are pretty similar in style. I was worried that they would awkwardly compete and try to outperform each other, but my worries were soon put to rest. Both of their voices seem to grace each other and they often find themselves harmonizing together. Nothing crazy or something we haven’t heard is found on this song, but it works for the better I feel. This song is a great example of what I want and expect from artists such as these. I thoroughly enjoyed this track and I find myself coming back to it time and time again. “Feels” by WATTS and Khalid is a fantastic song with excellent production and vocals. I am feeling a strong eight on “Feels” and would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for something new to listen to. This week we had a lot of highs when it comes to new music being released. From Drake’s strong raps to the sweet melodies of WATTS and Khalid, there was plenty of great music released last Friday. I would like to thank you for reading the latest edition of New Music Friday and I hope to see you next time. By: Madisen Child Welcome back to the fourth installment “This Day In History,” where we feature a prominent event, birth, and death from one day spanning all of human history. Today, we are focused on March 26.
Death: Ludwig Van Beethoven, a household name when it comes to classical music, was a German composer known for songs like Für Elise and Moonlight Sonata. Most of his songs, although the titles aren’t as well known, are very popular in Western Media. For example, Symphony No. 5 may be used in suspenseful, dramatic scenes with it’s iconic opening motif that can’t exactly be described in words. It is well known that Beethoven was deaf. One story states that, at the opening of Symphony No. 9, he had to be physically turned around to see his applauding audience. What many may not know is that Beethoven also suffered from liver disease. He succumbed to the disease at age 56 on March 26, 1827. Reports state that over 20,000 people attended his funeral. Birth: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” is a well known opening phrase to middle and high school English literature. “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost was written in 1915. Frost, the author of this poem, was born on March 26, 1874, making him 41 years old when the poem was written. Frost was born to Isabelle Moodie and William Prescott Frost Jr. in San Francisco, California. He had one sister, Jeanie, who was born in 1885. Frost’s life was no walk in the park; his father died of Tuberculosis in 1885, his mother died of cancer in 1900, and Jeanie had to be committed to a mental hospital in 1920. Frost grew up to make something of himself and become a classroom classic despite all these hardships. Event: Cremation, the act of burning a body to ashes, has been around for tens of thousands of years. However, Catholics of the 1800s and earlier didn’t favor cremation because of their beliefs of the afterlife. This practice was usually reserved for heretics, usually done before they died. The Victorians of Great Britain saw cremation as a more sanitary method of disposing of bodies. Previously, a doctor named William Price was arrested for attempting to cremate his baby boy. He claimed he was a Druidic priest, a notable role in Irish folklore, and wanted to cremate his son along with his own Druidic rituals. He was eventually tried and let go. The Cremation Society, formed by the physician to Queen Victoria, took this as a green light to start cremations. The first legal and official cremation in the UK was a woman named Janet Pickersgill on March 26, 1885. Today, cremation is a perfectly common, perfectly legal practice all over the world. By: Phoebe Warner Many, including students and teachers, believe phones in school are a problem. With constant notifications and access to apps, students can get distracted easily with cell phones.
One student, Allsion Dunhill, agrees that cell phones are a distraction. She says that school could function better if cell phone use was limited. Students can’t always limit their own use responsibly, so she feels that the use of phone boxes or “cell phone jails” is a way to accomplish this. Dunhill believes that students’ grades would be better if cell phones were put away during class. She explained this saying, “...there would be no distractions and the students could focus on what is happening in the present instead of answering their friends’ messages.” Dunhill argues that students are too attached to their phones and, as a result, lose out on important information that not only helps in a course but in life. Dunhill said, “...some of the things [teachers] teach us are important to our daily lives.” It’s not just about math or English and these skills we miss out on could help us with future learning and jobs. Many teachers also agree that classrooms would be more functional if phones were kept away. Students could pay better attention to what is being taught and they would have a better understanding of the topic. It’s difficult on the teachers when students can’t or don’t interact with them because they find more interest in whatever’s on their phones. Teachers are also frustrated when students don’t seem to see the connection between their lack of focus and low grades. In the end, Dunhill suggests that teachers “Take the phones away [from students] and put them in a cell phone jail at the beginning of class and don’t let the students have them back until the end of class.” While this perspective may not be popular among her fellow students, Dunhill believes that cell phones are distracting and should be put away during all hours of school. By: Meadow Mellon As American as apple pie is, it has a surprisingly un-American history. Apple pie’s origins began in Europe, so how did it become one of America's classics? The fact is that apples weren’t even native to North America until Columbus brought them from Europe along with cinnamon and nutmeg. “Apple pie was brought along by the culinary influences of France,” says Overdeep from Southern Living. “There were also influences from the Ottoman Empire and the Netherlands,” says Rossi Anastopoulo from 52. In colonial times, apples were actually referred to as winter bananas or melt-in-the-mouth.
The early settlers of Jamestown brought along European apple seeds and cuttings with them. The only native apple at the time was the crab apple, which was said to be a poor excuse for malus domestica or the domestic apple tree. The first apples were intended to make cider and not made to eat because they were so tart. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, “They [the settlers] usually only used apples to make cider. It was more preferable to water and easier to produce than beer.” Later, due to cross pollination, there were over 14,000 varieties of apples, but only some of those varieties were fit to be made into apple pie. The phrase “as American as apple pie” came much later. “[Apple pie] became a staple of America...during World War II when soldiers were asked why they were going to war, they would say ‘apple pie and Mom,’” says Travel Mamas. Apple pie represents America, but not because it originated here. The mixtures of cultures that brought apple pie to America is why it is representative. Southern Living says, “Just like apples, we are transplants.” This is the history of a staple for American dessert. It is amazing that this wonderful food came from a mixture of so many different cultures. By: Enoch Whitaker Welcome to the second edition of New Music Friday, where I will be reviewing the most notable releases from last Friday. This includes Albums, EPs, and Singles from a variety of musical genres. After listening to each project a couple times, I will give my personal thoughts and opinions on it, then a score out of 10. This week we will be reviewing “Tyron,” the latest album from rising British rapper Slowthai, and “3,2,1,” a single by rising American popstar 24kGoldn.
To start off, I will be reviewing “Tyron,” the latest collection of songs from one of Britain's most polarizing musicians, Slowthai. This is his second commercial release after his debut album “Nothing Great About Britain” that came out in 2019. The British rapper had an interesting start to last year with his controversial performance at the NME awards. His performance was filled with many political statements and derogatory gestures, and left me wondering where his career could possibly go facing all of the backlash. Despite all of the controversy, Slowthai delivered an album full of personality and passion. This record has a total of 14 tracks and interestingly enough has two “sides.” The two “sides” provide a switch in musical direction halfway through the album. The first “side” of the album provides listeners with the Slowthai that fans have learned to love with song titles stylized in all capital letters. It’s full of tough, raw, and grimey song production with strong rhymes and flows from the British rapper. The most standout track on the first “side” is “MAZZA” featuring A$AP Rocky. This track is incredibly produced with many different layers to the instrumental. The main synth chords are complemented by the heavy hitting bass and rapid rim dum hits. On the second “side,” however, Slowthai opens up about his struggles growing up and with depression with songs stylized in all lower case letters. For me, this is where Slowthai shines the brightest. With smooth and beautiful instrumentals and samples, Slowthai gives you a short glimpse into his mind. The track “push” is easily one of the best songs that has come out so far this year. Featuring Deb Never, the song starts out with her melodically singing a chorus with a long acoustic guitar. After around 30 seconds Slowthai comes in and the song starts to build around him. It eventually continues to build up to a climax and then slowly drops around the vocals from Deb Never. I frequently find myself coming back to this album time and time again. It shows Slowthai at his highest highs and at his most vulnerable moments. I loved the idea of having the two “sides” to the album and it made the record so much more memorable. This album is a serious contender for my personal favorite album that has come out in the last year. I can say with confidence that this record feels like a strong nine out of ten. The next track I will be reviewing is “3,2,1” by rising popstar, 24kGoldn. In early 2020, the American singer struck gold by releasing his multi-platinum single “Valentino.” The track went viral, and 24kGoldn seems that he could not take a wrong step by following that single up with his first mixtape “DROPPED OUTTA COLLEGE.” Now a year after initially hitting the mainstream, he has announced his debut album, “El Dorado'' with a single “3,2,1” being released last Friday, February 22. After listening to this song many, many times through, all I can say is that I have mixed feelings about this song. While this song has great production and lyrics, this is nothing really new for 24kGoldn. I wasn’t impressed or surprised with the song itself because this is the same type of song that 24kGoldn has been releasing over the course of the last year. I feel like the American singer took the “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” approach with this track because it sounds good, but fails to stand out. This song also feels very repetitive as if all of the lyrics are the chorus because they all get repeated many times over. There are some things I do love about this track though, such as the use of the electric guitar on a mainly pop song. Not many artists are able to incorporate that into their pop style music and this is a perfect example on how to do it. Overall, this is a good preview of an album that I am excitedly anticipating and I am feeling a strong six out of ten on this single. This week we had a lot of fun and enjoyable music released. From Slowthai’s hard and gritty production to the sweet melodies of 24kGoldn, there was plenty of great music released last Friday. I would like to thank you for reading the latest edition of New Music Friday and I hope to see you next week. By: Madisen Child Welcome back to the third installment “This Day In History,” where we feature a prominent event, birth, and death from one day spanning all of human history. This week is focused on February 26, just two days before the end of the month.
Birth: In 1802, one of the greatest and most well-known French writers, Victor Hugo, was born in Besançon, France. Hugo is responsible for writing Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Both works have since inspired musicals of the same names and a Disney rendition of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame in 1996. Hugo was born to Sophie Trébuchet, a painter, and Joseph Leopold Sigisbert Hugo, a general in the Napoleonic wars. He had two older brothers named Abel and Eugène. Abel was four years older and Eugène was two years older. Hugo showed an interest in writing poetry at a young age, even winning a poetry contest held by the Académie Française when he was 15 years old! Even now, Hugo is regarded as the greatest poet in French Romanticism, the style he wrote in. Death: “Paul Revere’s Ride ” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a well known poem written in 1860. During the American War of Independence, Paul Revere rode across the country to alert Americans of the oncoming British attack. What most people don’t know is that Revere wasn’t the only one who rode that night. One of these others was Sybil Ludington, a woman from New York. She was only 16 years old on the night of the attack. Although longer than Revere’s famous, “The British are coming,” Ludington has a quote of her own that she yelled that night. “The British are burning Danbury! Muster at Ludington's Mill!” She actually rode farther and warned more people than Revere! In 1836, 61 years after the fact, Ludington died in Catskill, New York at age 77. Event: Ever since President Theodore Roosevelt signed it into law in the early 1900s, US Presidents have held the right to reserve spots of land as national parks. One such area of land is Grand Teton National Park, located in Idaho. Grand Teton was established as a National Park in 1929 by President Calvin Coolidge. Grand Teton boasts many recreational activities, such as rafting down the Snake River, hiking, fishing, and boating. The park took decades to establish. The original order was one of Coolidge’s last acts as president in order to protect the Teton Mountain Range. As time went on, more presidents added to the park until it became the scenic, beautiful place it is today. By: Jordann Witt How does strict parenting affect children? First of all, it deprives children of opportunities and it limits self discipline and responsibility. There are lifetime effects due to strict parenting, like lack of self control or becoming mature at a very young age, which means losing childhood and sometimes having behavioral problems. Strict parenting has different variations. At Bear River High, a few students were polled to ask if they had strict parents. Surprisingly, most said they did and they had several things in common with one another, like major discipline, phones taken away for no reason, yelling for no reason, and unreasonable expectations.
One student who was polled wished to stay anonymous. She explained that she has unreasonable punishments like taking away all freedom, no more having and going out with friends, no more working, and no more phone. On one occasion she was late walking into the house. Her parents then installed a ring doorbell to see why she was late and what time she entered the house. Her grandpa even took extreme measures to install a sensory system to indicate when a window or door has been opened. One time she opened the window to get fresh air and her grandpa ran in yelling asking why the window was open. This strict environment has a huge impact on her life. She feels like she's in a prison and can't do anything without fear of having everything taken away. Emma Stanworth said her parents weren't too terribly strict unless she didn't get her stuff done. If she didn't, her parents would take away everything. Which may seem a little too much, but everyone has their own opinion. It can cause issues later in life like the feeling of constantly needing to get everything done, or stuff is going to be taken away. According to Morgen E. Peck, a psychologist with Scientific American, a “new research suggests that parents who stoke their children with harsh scolding may also be saddling them with anxieties that last a lifetime.” Strict parents come in all varieties because we all have different views of what's strict and what's not. Some think that if parents take away phones, then they are strict, but some kids have it much harder like cameras and sensory systems and even tracking devices on our phones and on our cars. Having strict parents can affect us later in life. The feeling of fear causes you to feel like you're forgetting something, so you feel as though you're going to get yelled at. Sometimes it causes clinginess or emotional deprivation with people. Some kids never get the emotional love they need as a kid, so they seek it as an adult. Strict parenting can have long term effects on people. Even though the effects of strict parenting aren't always visible, it does have long lasting, negative effects. |
