Funds have been used to There's only one reason students would dance alone in front of a crowd of a thousand people, and that is for the title of the first ever Salem Hills High School Mascot, Those who tried out did not do so lightly. In the application, there were many things required of the hopeful mascots. First, they must have no attendance deficiencies, and good citizenship. They are also required to attend every sporting event, endure the sometimes grueling conditions of being on their feet for the entire event, and must at all costs get the crowd involved in the game. Sue Ann Kawecki, an athletic writer, states that as a mascot, "You singlehandedly have the power to make or break the crowd's involvement in a game." At the pep assembly which occurred at the high school on Jan.- 20, two hopeful mascots, identity concealed Mascot A and Mascot B, performed a one minute dance set to music in the intent of winning the vote of their fellow students. Students were then required to go online to vote for their favorite dancer. After two weeks of voting and waiting, it has been announced that mascot A (left) will be the official mascot with mascot B (right) as a backup. Look out for the newest addition to the Salem Hills high school spirit at the next sporting event. Who is the person under the costume?

The walls needed a clean up after many years of random things being slapped on them. The actual wall was tiled with a light blue tile. "Blue tile?" The students asked, 'This needs to be changed!" Senior council students decided that the wall needed to be painted with the school color gray. The council worked together by taking down old wall signs, washing the walls, taping it and finally painting it. It took three days to put on the'primer and two coats of paint. ."I think the gray looks very good, and gives the foyer an updated Dons look!" - Carlos Garcia Justin Roberts who headed up the project is working with his council to organize the wall signs Courtesy photo / Samuel Egbert, SHHS NEW MASCOT: It was announced that Mascot A, left, will be the official mascot with Mascot B, right, as a backup.

My first internship was at Payson Family Pet Hospital during first semester, and the other is currently at Sports Therapy in Springville. I have had the opportunity to practice my business skills and people skills, as I have had to go into a new environment with new people. Before and during the internship I know that I am representing my school, my reputation, and even my family. Knowing these things I have to remember and apply all the lessons I have had on presenting myself in a business manner and how to talk, communicate, and work with others. Students thinking about doing an internship, but don't think they have -.£ Caitlin Boden had lessons like that, or if they have they tuned them out like everyone else in the classroom, should not let that stop them. Mrs. Thomas, who coordinates and teaches about internships, knows how to help students remember or learn how to apply good See SH INTERN • B3 ! . ' - |
