to map out the galaxy and also

proves that it is a spiral with

arms that revolves around a

galactic center.

Mrs. Richardson has been

doing this trip for six

years now. Though there

have been many memo-

rable experiences, the

most memorable was

when the students made

forts out of bunk beds

last year. However, Mrs.

Richardson’s favorite

part of the trip is watch-

ing the students as they

see the GBT for the very

first time. She ended our

interview by saying

these are the two

best days of the

year, so be sure to

take IB Physics and

have a great time.

It is common knowledge

that we live in a spiral gal-

axy with arms that revolve

around a galactic center that

is thicker than the rest of the

disc. The question is…how

do we know? It’s not as if

anyone has been outside our

galaxy to look back and

view its shape. So just how

is it that astronomers have

come up with the shape? To

find the answer to this ques-

tion, IB Physics students

travel to NRAO at Green-

bank every spring.

IB Physics students meet

with an astronomer who

teaches them

about how

to read a

galactic map

and how to

use a forty

foot tele-

scope. The

students use

this tele-

scope to

take read-

ings. But

what is it

they’re tak-

ing read-

ings of?

Nothing,

other than

the most

abundant

resource in

the universe,

hydrogen.

The reason

for this is that

hydrogen’s

frequency is

1420.4 MHZ,

so that’s

where we’d

expect to see

a peak. How-

ever, the

peak isn’t

always at 1420.4 MHZ

because the hydrogen has

been blue shifted, pulled in

towards us, or red shifted,

pulled away. This helps us

Andrea Cabbagestalk, Harpist by Kylie Joins

Seven professional harp-

ists exist in the state of West

Virginia, and we at SC are

blessed to have one of the

seven among us. Andrea Cab-

bagestalk is one of the exclu-

sive few, and she has been

observing classes at SCHS, in

Mrs. Dow and Mrs. Bailey’s

rooms. Ms. Cabbagestalk is

studying to be a teacher and

will bring a fresh new per-

spective to the classes.

Ms. Cabbagestalk began

playing the piano at age three.

At ten, she picked up the

harp. Ms. Cabbagestalk faith-

fully pursued playing the harp

into high school, when, as a

junior, she transferred to

Interlochen Arts Academy

in Michigan. There she

studied practicing for hours

each day, alongside stu-

dents from143 countries

and 48 U.S. states.

Ms. Cabbagestalk now

plays at weddings and

other such gatherings. She

has played in the West Vir-

ginia Youth Symphony,

among other prestigious

ensembles. Now that she is

observing and teaching

classes, Mrs. Cabbagestalk

has decided to instruct with

a somewhat nonstandard

approach. One of her

Letters About Literature, a

writing competition spon-

sored each year by the West

Virginia Center for the

Book, the Center for the

Book in the Library of Con-

gress, and Target Stores,

Inc., announced student win-

ners on March 18, 2011.

We are pleased to an-

nounce that the following

SCHS students are winners:

Kaylee Stanley, Jon Elmore,

Jillian Kendall, Harry Koval,

Derek Nelson, Rachel Wil-

liams, Shelby Combs, Abbie

Kaiser, Kalie Knecht, Molly

Pictured above front to back are the

Letters About Literature winners from SCHS: Molly Mottesheard, Kalie Knecht,

Kenneth Redillas, Kaylee Stanley, Rachel

Williams, Shelby Combs, Jon Elmore, Derek Nelson, Jillian Kendall, Harry

Koval, and Abbie Kaiser

Mottesheard, and Kenneth

Redillas. South Charleston

High School had the second

largest group of winners in the

state of West Virginia.

Winners will attend an

awards ceremony at the Cul-

ture Center Theater on April

14, at 2 PM with a reception

following in the West Virginia

Library Commission Reading

Room. Fran Cannon-Slayton,

author of When the Whistle

Blows, will be the featured

speaker.

We offer our congratulations

to the students and encourage

them to continue writing.

The church style service

requires seniors to wear

cap and gown, parents

should wear formal cloth-

ing appropriate for church

service and the SCHS

Chorale Performers will

wear orange choir robes.

The chorale will be under the

direction of Mr. David Stern,

and they will perform in

honor of all South Charles-

ton High School graduating

seniors.

Graduation is a big day for

seniors and Baccalaureate hon-

ors graduating seniors. South

Charleston High School’s ser-

vice will take place on May

25, 2011, at First Church of the

Nazarene off the Dunbar

Bridge at 7 p.m.

strongest beliefs is that all

people, especially students,

should have an opportunity

to appreciate the arts and all

types of music. With that in

mind, she intends to use her

harp in teaching.

In fact, on the 21st , she

brought her harp into school

to Mrs. Dow and Mrs. Bai-

ley’s classes. She played as

an inspirational background

for creative writing assign-

ments, such as writing po-

etry and sketching. Mrs.

Dow submitted the poems

as competition pieces, and

we are awaiting news of

winners.

South Charleston High

School’s Archery team re-

cently participated in a tour-

nament on March

26,2011, at Veterans

Memorial Auditorium in

Huntington. Eight boys

and four girls from our

school attended with our

highest place being Sam

McMinn, 16th place,

with 273 out of 300

points. The other mem-

bers of the team in-

cluded: Oak Milam,

scoring 234 points; Tim

Ervine, 261; Tristan Brow,

249;Trystan Lee, 214; Alan

Rhodes, 231;Jeffery Harris,

219; Andy Noel, 206; Eliza-

beth Spina, 250; Ceirra Brace,

158; Kelsey Grubb, 230;

Mary Witten, 119.

The shooters had six

rounds, each shooting five

arrows every round. The first

three rounds were shot at a

distance of 10 meters and the

next three rounds were

moved back to 15

meters. The shooters

all enjoyed the tour-

nament even though

it lasted for many

hours. Throughout

the whole event there

were about 30,000

arrows shot by ap-

proximately 650 stu-

dents.

Our novice archery

team did a great job consid-

ering this is our first year of

participation. Congratula-

tions to our team!

the scale is one to six. Band director

Mr. Richardson was overall very

pleased with the results. Shikeal

Harris, a member of the band,

voiced the group’s sentiments. “We

worked extremely hard and put a lot

of hard work and dedication [into

it].” Their hard work paid off, be-

cause the band improved from last

year, which is always their goal.

The band students were very proud

of their improvement. For their rat-

Black Eagles’ BEST By Mary Mason, Lisa Cibrik, Holly Thompson

Corporal Punnishment Survey by Jessiffa Preast and Devon Harmon

A Putnam County delegate wants lawmakers to reconsider the state's ban on paddling in schools. Known as corporal

punishment, the state outlawed the practice of physically reprimanding students in 1994, but Delegate Brian Savilla, R-

Putnam, would like to see that ban repealed. The bill calls for the teacher administering the punishment to be of the

same gender as the student being punished. The punishment would have to be supervised by a teacher or administrator

of the opposite gender. However, mothers interviewed at Mountain View Elementary School in Scott Depot firmly

object. We wanted to know what you guys think. Should this law be passed, or should things stay the same? The

results are in! We sent out 124 total surveys and had 84 come back with results. Out of those surveyed, 37% of 9th

graders, 31% of 10th graders, 6% of 11th grader’s, 6% of 12th graders, and 6% of teachers participated in the survey.

14% did not mark their grade level. 10% of the people surveyed said YES, 87% said NO, and 3% said that they did-

n’t care what happened as far as corporal punishment is concerned. The overwhelming majority felt that the law

should not be reconsidered, and the ban on corporal punishment should stay in place. Thanks to those who answered

our survey. You’re the best!

Eagles Around the World

By: Lisa Cibrik,

Michele Carena, also known as Cai, is a fifteen -year-old

freshman, who moved here from Turnin, Italy. Cai likes it in the

U.S. because he feels he fits in here better than in Italy. When

asked about the differences between here and Italy, he said, "Italy

is more cultural and has more architecture.” His favorite part about

West Virginia is coming to South Charleston High School and

gaining a lot of friends. Cai’s favorite activity is playing basketball,

which he plays on the varsity SCHS basketball team. The reason

he came to the U.S. was because he wants to go to a good college

here; his mother likes it here too. Cai stated, “I may go back to

Italy after college, but I’d prefer to stay here now.”

Every year since 2007, the SCHS Race for the Cure Team has won the award for the largest school-based

team. The team’s goal this year is to be 250 members strong and to help find a cure for breast cancer. Last

year’s team had 232 members. Anybody may sign up for the team, and this includes relatives and friends.

The race is on May 7th at the state capitol on the river side and the race starts at 8:00 a.m. If you join

online, make sure to sign up to be on the South Charleston High School team.

The race is one to three miles long, and you have the option of walking or running. You don’t even have

to race if you join the team. You can just sign up and get credit for being on the team. If you register for

the team and you’re a teacher’s aide or taking community service for Mr. Stern, you are excused from a ten

hour homework project and a full page journal. However, you must be present at the race to receive your

two hundred point credit!

Race for the Cure is an excellent team to join because you could help so many cancer patients by doing

so. This race will affect so many lives, so do not wait to join the team! It’s $15 to register if you’re a stu-

dent and under eighteen years of age. The deadline to register as a team is April 15, 2011. See Mrs. Kim in

the office or go to komenwv.org if you wish to join.

Race for the Cure By Quintin Baker and Marie Adigwe

Mr. Toler, art teacher at South Charleston High School, will unfortunately be retiring this year. Mr.

Toler has been teaching since 1973. He started at Gauley Bridge High School, went to Horace Mann

Junior High, and eventually came to South Charleston High School. Even though he teaches art classes

now, that’s not how he started out. When he

came to South Charleston High School, he

started as a track coach. Mr. Toler has had

many interesting experiences at SCHS.

During his career here he took students

climbing at Seneca Rocks and for eighteen

years he took students down to the ever-

glades. Mr. Toler also owned fourteen ca-

noes and used to build kayaks. Two kayaks

he built hang from the rafters in the art room.

For awhile Mr. Toler did a team building

exercise where he would take students to the

Road Side Pitt in Pocahontas County. He

would lower the students into a cavern there,

and they would have to help each other in

order to get out. Mr. Toler also helped build

the ropes and fitness course which used to be

at the back of the school. He also helped to

build the ROTC building in the back of the school.

Mr. Toler has contributed much to our school, and

given the most precious gifts of all to his many students

which are time and talent. He is a treasure and will be greatly missed by many at SCHS.

Senior Tribute By Ashley Pondexter,

May 27th, 2011. The

day we’ve waited on for

twelve long years.

We’ve gained friends,

lost them, and figured

out who our real ones

are. Faced the trials

and tribulations that

all high schooler’s are

faced with and over-

came it all. High school

graduation is one of

the most important

times of life. It repre-

sents the ending of

childhood and finally

walking into adult-

hood. This is a time of

both extreme happi-

ness and sadness for

others. To some it

represents gaining in-

dependence and

branching out on your

own two feet. To others

the thought of life end-

ing as you know it is

very scary. No matter

how you look at it, the

end is approaching

very quickly. In the

last four years we’ve

gained memories that

we’ll keep forever with

people we’ll never for-

get. South Charleston

has done its best to

prepare us for college

and to be productive

citizens in society.

College or trade,

whichever we decide

to do, once we leave

these doors for the

last time we’ve been

given the keys we

need for our future.

South Charleston has

taught us things more

valuable than just an

education, and I'm

sure we’ll never forget

any of it. This is the

Senior Class of 2011.

Seniors’ Corner… by Ashley Pondexter and Mikael Huffman

P A G E 1 1 V O L U M E I I I I S S U E I

Senior year can be a

very stressful time for

students. Between deal-

ing with maintaining

grades, applying to col-

leges, after school jobs

and extracurricular ac-

tivities, it can be very dif-

ficult to balance it all. But

this year’s seniors have

some advice for juniors

on how to deal with the

difficult times of the year.

Senior and

track runner

Josh Coats

says, “Go to

bed early and

no procrastina-

tion.“ Alexa

Morgan who balances

school , an afterschool

job, and basketball says,

“Apply for college early;

don’t wait until your senior

year to decide where

you’re going to go. Cayla

Rader said, “Take your

ACT before the start of senior

year and go to afterschool tu-

toring with Ms. Meadows or

Ms. Taylor.” Lastly , Danny

Dickerson said the most impor-

tant advice of all …. “Don’t

catch senioritis!”

Every year you can see the stress that weighs down on seniors when they are making choices, such as

where to go to college. Juniors will be going through the same difficulties next year when they start their

journey to graduation. Help is what they will need to take much of this stress away. If you are a junior and

are beginning to think about what your future plans are, then College Summit is for you. College Summit is

a four day camp during the summer at either Marshall, Fairmont, or West Virginia State University. College

Summit takes you through the process of getting prepared for college such as how to fill out a good applica-

tion or FASFA. Not only is this an educational trip, you get to meet new people and do activities that help

you learn more about yourself and what you may want for your future. At the end of your journey you will

be a Peer Leader and can pass the information on to the next group of upcoming seniors.

Letters to attend College Summit were sent in the mail with the application inside. If you have not re-

ceived this, then you need to see Mrs. Miller for an application. After applying you should receive a packet

for whichever workshop you choose to attend. Also, in your packet you will be asked to write an essay on

why you think you should be a future peer leader, and you must have a current peer leader sign the peer

leader sheet in your application. Turn in all applications to Mrs. Miller by March 21. If you have any further

questions about College Summit or how to apply, look for the seniors with the shirts that read College Sum-

mit on the front.
