David Eubanks, Staff Reporter A daughter and her mother make
dinner together has her brother gets home from riding bikes outside. The husband pulls up from work and gets a plate to eat. The family of four sit down in front of the TV to turn on Fox reality TV channel and wish they were the families on the screen. Too many people do this and it is a problem.
The first reality television show to air in America was a show called “An American Family.” The show aired in 1973 on PBS and was 12 episodes long. The series started a chain of many popular reality shows to come in the years ahead. Drama, relation-ships and mischief are just some of the main segments featured in a lot of the shows, and people love it.
Americans spend around 1/3 of
their time watching TV and 67% of that time is spent on reality shows. Now-a-days, people huddle around their TV to watch “Keeping up with the Kardashians” or “The Real House-wives.” Some people think their lives are entertaining enough and have to watch these kinds of shows to make it more interesting. The whole mental-ity behind this is simple: your life is boring, watch mine.
Reality TV can be fun and enter-taining, but too many people watch it to make their life seem more interest-ing, and that shouldn’t have to be the case. Anyone can go out and make their life interesting by doing some-thing they love or taking up a hobby. You don’t need reality TV shows when you can make your own reality.
Emily Glasgow, Staff Reporter Freshmen are overloaded with
homework during their first year of high school. The homework load in middle school is a lot less than in high school.
Upperclassmen have useful tips, in-formation and study habits that fresh-men can use to help with their pre-AP classes. The only upper-level class available to eighth graders is Algebra I. The underclassmen have the op-portunity to take pre-AP biology with Mrs. Clifton, and she gives students incentives to study more and gives study tips and helpful hints that might not be available with other teachers. Some teachers pack on homework and do not take into consideration that students may have after-school activities such as church functions, extracurricular practices, siblings to help take care of, chores or jobs.
Studies show that students receive three times as much homework than is recommended by National Educa-tion Association. Experts suggest that teachers should assign an hour and a half of homework a day to freshmen,
an hour and 40 minutes to sopho-mores, and hour and 50 minutes to juniors, and two hours to seniors.
Some may say that the teachers are coddling students by giving make-up tests, offer tutoring, incentives like mole/bacteria bucks or offering bonus points. Others say that middle school is too easy and high school teachers should not have to lower their stan-dards to accommodate for the slow pace the freshman have acquired. However, some students do learn at a slower pace and require teachers to tutor them to help the student catch up to the class.
Having too much homework the first year of high school can become stressful with trying to keep grades up and learning new material. Students stumble and freak out at a low grade and then teachers wonder why stu-dents are dropping out of upper level classes. Teachers should give fresh-man the chance to catch up to the speed of high school teaching before overloading them with homework.
High school homework outweighs middle school
Question: Do you joke about what your going to get for Christmas? If so, what is the joke about?
Answer: I gave my par-ents soaps and perfumes for Christmas joking with them by saying they stink.
Question: What is your favorite family Christmas tradition?
Answer: Playing games like Taboo or charades.
Question: What is the one thing that you wanted most as a five year old?
Answer: Roller skates!
Question: How do you open presents?
A n s wer : I op en t he wrapped ones on Christ-mas Eve then when “Santa” comes he doesn’t wrap the presents.
Principal Terry Everitt answers questions about hall lockers
Tristan’s Take:It would convenient if students could use the lockers. Having lockers
would allow students to have a storage solution for extra items required by their classes.
If we can’t use the lockers, removing them would make passing periods easier.
How long have the lockers at HHS been out of use?
“I am not really sure. I came back to HHS to teach and coach. We were not using them when I returned to HHS.”a
Q
What events caused the permanent closure of the lockers?
“After the attacks at Columbine High School, a movement begain to stop using lockers. I was not here at the time, but I can only assume it was a school safety measure.”
Qa
Is there a possibility of reopening the lockers for student use?
“That is not something that I have given much thought about. I am will-ing to study the issue. One of the reasons that schools stop using lockers was when the availability came of having a set of textbooks at home and a classroom set. In theory, there was no reason to have a locker. Many teachers now require binders and they make the backpacks heavy. I picked up my son’s backpack at home the other day and I couldn’t believe he carried that around all day. My greatest fear in using lockers is an increase in students being tardy to class. I was a student here at HHS from 1987-1991 and we used lockers but our classes were organized by grades. We now organize our halls by subject.”
Qa
Is there any possibility of removing the lockers to increase hall space or utilize wall space?
Hopefully one day we can have them removed if we are not going to use them. We have had some discussions in the past about removing the lockers. We keep coming back to a common theme which is the fear of the unknown. We are not exactly sure what is behind the lockers. When removing the lockers you will have to do some floor repair. Matching the flooring can be difficult. While removing the lockers seems easy, it has the possibility of running into an expensive project. No one wants them out more than me, but it is not the highest priority on my facility needs list.

“He told me that he had been scrolling through dif ferent interviews when he came across
mine and found it interesting,” Tipps said. “He asked me things about why I chose to interview my mom, how I picked what questions
to ask her how the experience affected m e a n d a b o u t t he Stor y Cor ps p r o g r a m i n genera l ,” T ipps said.

We have more time to exercise than here, but we can’t choose our classes. All of the stu-dents stay in one class-room and the teachers come and go.”
Before coming to Henderson, Zhao spent time in San Fransisco.
“While in San Fran-sisco, I once forgot my security card to my room and was locked outside,” Zhao said. “It was sort of scary, but luckily my friend saved me.”
Zhao experienced his
first American holidays here, including Thanks-giving and Christmas. He said that most people in China do not celebrate Christmas and instead participate in the Spring Festival, which cele-brates the Chinese New Year.
“I enjoyed Christmas,” Zhao said. “It is just like the celebration of the New Year in China. It gave me a good feeling of home.”
Among many new things Zhao has expe-rienced and done here,
he also plays the piano in the jazz band.
“At first I thought I would take music theory here, but instead I go to jazz band,” Zhao said. “Jazz band is a whole new thing for me, but I found lots of interests there. It’s one of my fa-vorite things about be-ing here.”
Zhao will leave at the end of the school year .
“Henderson has gave me a perfect time,” Zhao said. “I will miss it when I leave.”
“I hope to return to my country bilingual, even if it’s not easy to learn English,” Higuet said. “I also hope to return in my country with a new mindset, new knowledge, new meetings and new ideas.”
Justine enjoys the foreign exchange program and highly recommends it
for anyone who can to give it a try.“I am living an amazing experience,”
Higuet said. “I want to share this information so people can know that if they have the same opportunity as me, to participate in an exchange program, do it.”
Exchange Students
Emma Baker, Brady Robertson and Andrew Blackmon made the all-state band last weekend. Students who qualified for alternates in the band were Sam Brown, Ryan Higgs, Cori Dorsey, Zach Powell, Jakeb Copeland and Mitch Dorsey.
Fifteen band students placed high enough for area honors at all-region tryouts and auditioned for the all-state band Jan 9. The Henderson High School Band had 85 band students win a total of 53 chairs in the All-Region band.
“We had more kids qualify for all-state band auditions this year than any previous year,” band director Tommy Moore said. It felt really good.”
Other students who earned a chance to audition for the all-state band are Katherine Cisneros, Jennifer Galvan, Joy Williams, Shaddai Avila, Sahvannah Shavers and Mason Nicholson.
“It felt really good because I was not expecting it,” sophomore Brady Robertson said.

The boys soccer team will compete today and to-morrow at Lobo Stadium in Longview. The team has played three games this season so far, and one was a scrimmage. Teammates look forward to a good season.
“I’m looking forward to a successful season with my team,” junior Bryan Guevara said. “I hope to accomplish some great things and make it to the playoffs.”
They are preparing to come together as a team.
“My technique in practice is to always put in as much effort as I can,” Guevara said. “It will help make my team better as a whole.”
The boys team consists of: Justin Rojas, Michael Gonza-lez, Carlos Orta, Jorge Guz-man, Juan Guzman, Dustin Gray, Hector Salazar, Or-
lando Rodriguez, Julio Cer-vantes, Brett Schweng, Erick Elizondo, Jonathan Ramirez, Guillermo Gallegos, Sterling Florey, Skylar Brune, Sergio Gonzalez, Bryan Guevara, David Hinojosa and Braulio Ramirez. The head coach for the boys team is Evan Dean.
The Lady Lions soccer team wil l compete in a Hallsville tournament to-day and tomorrow. The team has played three games this season. Seniors of the team hope to make it far in their last year.
“This is my last year, so I will play my hardest and give it my all,” senior Hanna Harrison said. “I hope my team will work hard to en-dure and become a better player for the team also.”
When on the field the team comes together as one.
“It’s important for the team to stay connected on the field,” junior Kennedy Cox said. “We have to focus to be successful.”
The girls team consists of: Hellen Serrano, Jaqui Gonzalez, Ana Asencio, Liz-mar Cibrian, Maddie Eby, Chelsea Delarosa, Ramsey Belcher, Diana Ayala, Rox-anna Salas, Valerie Rodri-guez, Cari Rodriguez, Perla Perez, Susanna Rojas, Han-na Harrison, Kennedy Cox, Lili Greer, Jailene Castaneda and Andrea Elizondo. The head coach for the team is Randy Hammontree.
“I appreciate our coach,” senior Roxanna Salas said. “He shows and gives as much effort as the team does.”
Every sports team has traditions and superstitions that they believe in. The Henderson boys basket-ball team is no exception; whether its pull-ing pranks or just spending t ime together as a team.
Varsity boys basketball play-ers have chosen the mohawk as their signature haircut this sea-son. Its not just Henderson that does this; both college and NBA bas-ketball players cut their hair the same way.
“The hair is something that just happened,” senior Tre Boone said.
Even though several
teams cut their hair the same, each team has other personal traditions that they do. The team listens to music togther.
“ We t h i n k t h a t i f w e change our pre-game rout ine then it will lead to us not playing our best,” junior Tariq Gray said.
V a r s i t y team members are Gray, Kevin Tutt, La’ Kend-
rick Van Zandt, Tre Boone, Tyrek Blanton, Treylun Blan-ton, Travis Hawkins, Austin Lee, Leon Coleman, Keive Rose and Kameron Smiley.
The Lions start district play tonight against Rusk at 5 p.m.
