Rougeau, president of the College, presided over the celebratory event, bestowing the honorary degrees, and greeting each graduate as they crossed the stage. In his remarks, Welch said the social mission of Holy Cross—that achievements should be shared and used for the betterment of others—left an indelible mark on him. Welch also assured graduates that they are capable of facing the great odds of today to accomplish great things for the future. “You are strong and ready. Your shared experience at Holy Cross has made you so,” said Welch. “The Holy Cross commitment to intellectual and open inquiry and using our talents for good is something this institution has preserved and passed on to one generation after another since 1843. This experience and commitment will make you the builders of tomorrow.” About Holy Cross - The College of the Holy Cross, in Worcester, Mass., is among the nation’s leading liberal arts institutions.

Behind the Scenes at Green Haus Art Co. By Scarlett Hyatt, Maryanne Hale, & Eliza Harris, Student Reporters Scarlett: As we walk in, we are in awe of all the art and scenery around us. There are painted landscapes, instruments made from scrap metal, and photographs of animals, birds, and other landscapes. Here we meet Kristin Carver, who tells us about what kind of art there is in this gallery in Huntsville, Utah. There are a couple of people working at the art gallery. All of them are working very hard on their art pieces. We were very inspired by all their artwork. Eliza: A little more about Kristin is that she is a resident artist at Green Haus and does printing. While we were there, she gave us a tour of her print shop and taught us a lot of cool things about printing. Before this experience, we thought the only meaning of printing is when you use a computer to print a copy of something. After the tour, we learned that printing is a process where you make original, handmade artwork that is drawn, carved, and inked. She showed us the complicated steps to printmaking and let us tell you, it’s a lot of work but also so much fun! Scarlett: Now, we go upstairs, where we meet Mark B. Goodson, a fabulous oil painter. I think my favorite of his paintings were his dolls. There were lots of pictures around the walls of his studio. Lots of them you could hardly believe that they were not just photographs. They looked so real! They were so cool. Maryanne: Next, we got to meet Jessica Franzen, who owns the gallery, along with her husband Paul. She told us all about the meaning of Green Haus Art Co. and told us their motto: “Grow with art!” We all learned that it is a community gathering place. She said, “Everyone is welcome to come, gather, grow, and learn.” When we asked her why they wanted to open an art gallery, she said they wanted there to be more things for visitors and locals to do in Huntsville and they both love art. Maryanne: Another artist that works at the gallery is Madi McQueen. She is a metalsmith, which means she gets to make all sorts of fun jewelry and art. One thing we loved about this visit is they told us that they will be holding all sorts of different types of art classes. Such as printing, metal working, oil painting, pottery, and maybe even more. This got us all very excited! All: In conclusion, the Green Haus Art Co. is an exciting and creative place for our community to enjoy and visit. The Green Haus Art Co. held their grand opening party on May 19 and May 2. It included a charcuterie board and live art demos. We love Green Haus Art Co. Stop by for a visit! Their address is 7345 E. 200 S., Huntsville, Utah. Contact them at admin@greenhausartco.org or 385-438-2783.

I did beekeeping and STEM teamwork. The point is, CFOV is amazing! By Cosette Newhall, Valley Elementary 5th-grade student How organizations help Ogden Valley be a better place to live. Imagine if there were no volunteers to volunteer for fun activities at your school? Would you like that? In my opinion I would prefer to have volunteers to do fun activities in my class. There are a lot of nonprofits in the world that help pay for something to help people for certain things. There are 16 different types of organizations in the valley. They are helpful to many people. Like SSEF (Snowbasin Safety Education Foundation), which helps young skiers at Snowbasin ski better in the categories of all mountains skiing, alpine racing, and freestyle. To begin with, all the things that help the Valley improve are amazing and there are 16 of them! An example of one that can really help someone in danger is Great Basin K9 search and rescue. This organization, at no cost, helps look for people who are lost. The article, “Our Nonprofits,” clearly states “Our mission is to train K9 SAR teams and certify them to the highest standards in order to provide K9 SAR services, at no cost, to public safety organizations in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Nevada.” This organization helps hikers, bikers, horseback.riders, and family members to have someone to call to look for you if you ever need help or get lost on the trail with no fee! Finally, I think CFOV has some awesome nonprofit organizations that help so much! Like my favorite, Valley Elementary and Snowcrest PTO, which helps pay for activities by raising a few fundraisers a year. One of my favorite activities is STEM Day. You go to three classes of your MIGHT cont. from page 3 was set with the delivery of 1,450 tons of supplies within a 24-hour time period. The British Commonwealth assisted with their “Operation Plane Fare.” As noted in Chris Wallace’s book Character: Profiles in Presidential Courage, “Against all odds, the underdogs [the Allies] began to triumph.” In May 1949, Stalin capitulated. On May 12, the lights went on in the Western section of How CFOV Bene昀椀ts Ogden Valley and Its Residents By Scarlett Hyatt, Valley Elementary 6th-grade student I have just learned what CFOV does for Ogden Valley, and it is pretty cool. People donate money to CFOV and then CFOV gives it to nonprofit organizations in the valley to make Ogden Valley a better place to live. One of their mottos is “Live here. Give here. Play here.” CFOV donates money to Trails Foundation of Northern Utah, Wolf Creek Foundation, Snowcrest PTSO, Ogden Valley Adaptive Sports, Great Basin K9 Search and Rescue, Ogden Valley Pickle Ball and Tennis, Ogden Avalanche, Mountain Arts and Music, and many more. I use the trails all the time. My family usually either bikes or walks, and we can do it safely because the trails are all paved and not super bumpy. I also notice many other people using them, too. The trails are amazing for a walk. I also like playing pickle ball and tennis. They are really fun. It’s outside, it’s with other people, and our valley is a beautiful place. I love the arts and music. I play the cello, piano, and ukulele. And it is not just playing the instruments, it’s dancing to them. I have been dancing my entire life. I love to paint as well. Painting is really fun to do. How great it is to have an organization that encourages all of these things and more. My favorite organization is Ogden Valley Adaptive sports. I think it is incredibly caring that an organization helps special needs. I would like to help CFOV in any way because I care about Ogden Valley as they do. Berlin, roadblocks were lifted, and trains, once again, rode the rails between West Germany and West Berlin, and West Germany became an independent nation. In 1989, the East German government collapsed and the wall between East and West came down. And, finally, on June 18, 1994, an American garrison made a last parade through the streets of Berlin while an old twin-engine C-47, that had once carried supplies to the city, flew over the crowd in final victory.
