KHS Senior Dips Skulls and Other Items By: Stinger Staff
KHS senior Mason Reherman will someday be wearing an OHP uniform, patrolling the roads
and highways of our great state. However, while finishing up his final year of high school, Mason
has taken something he saw in a YouTube video to the next level as a budding business venture.
Hydrographic dipping describes the process of coating items with thin sheets of colored plastic
using water and special chemicals. Hydro Film sheets are printed by various manufacturers and can
be ordered from internet sites. The sheets range in price from $8 to $94, depending on the size and
pattern. Mason's interest in the process started with what he called "Redneck" Hydrodipping," in a
video on YouTube. He wanted to try it to see if it worked. Several dipped skulls later, a friend of
Mason's father saw his work and asked if he could dip some skulls and car parts for him.
To date, Mason has dipped skulls from
cows, coyotes, deer and goats. No human
skulls yet. He's getting read to dip a longhorn
skull and can do just about any animal, as
long as his dipping tank is big enough.
Big items are fine, but his bread and
butter business comes from dipping smaller
items. Case in point, he displayed pictures of
a Yeti cooler cup dipped in real-flame and a
cell phone case in green camo.
Car parts to be dipped include
dashes and interior parts, exterior
emblems and trim pieces. He's also
started taking orders for dipped fire-
arms, including shotguns, rifles and
handguns.
Mason charges based on size of
item, and how detailed the item is
He works out of his Grandfathers
"dip" shack located outside the city
limits.
Students interested in having
something dipped (cell phone cases
for example), contact Mason in Mr.
Kaya's class during 7th period. He's
also on Facebook.

Stinger Fashion: Prom Dresses
By: Alma Atondo/ls
This week’s Stinger Fashion features Mrs. Leffingwells’s
prom dresses. Mrs. Leffingwell’s prom dresses are prom dresses
that girls have donated or gave away for a good cause. These
prom dresses are located in Mrs. Leffingwell’s office. These
dresses are beautiful, honestly. You can borrow them for prom in
case, you do not have a prom dress yet, for this school year’s
prom. See pictures of the dresses on Page 4 of this issue.
1. The first prom dress is a black dress with a strap on only one
side. It has gold and silver jewels on the chest area and on the left
side of the ribs. It’s pretty long, in case, you want a long dress,
and its a bit close to the body, or tight fitting.
2. The second prom dress is a black strapless dress. It has glitter
looking stuff on it. It has the glitter from the chest all the way to
around your waist. It’s not as long in length. It looks pretty,
though.
3. The third prom dress is a gold one strap dress. it has jewels on
the strap. It kind of has a gold/yellow/tan color.
4. Last but not least, there’s a purple/blue dress. This dress has a
spaghetti strap on one side. It has jewels going down on the left
side. The jewels are different shapes and sizes. They’re pretty
shiny, if you ask me.
If you plan on going to prom this April 9 and still do not have
your prom dress, come by Mrs. leffingwell’s office and check
them out and see if you like them. Remember Prom is right
around the corner so hurry and go check them out.
The dresses look amazing and you can wear them for free.
Check out the pics on Page 4 or go see Mrs. Leffingwell.

Senior Profile: Alma Padilla
By: Andrea Jimenez/ss
Let me introduce you to one of this year’s graduating seniors, Al-
ma Padilla. Alma Noemi Padilla is the daughter of Rigoberto and Adela
Padilla. She has two brothers, Kris and Jr. (13), and three sisters, Christina
(29), Jessica (27), and Michelle (24). Gallerita, as she is also known as, was
born in the state of Oklahoma on May 15, 1998.
Her parents are originally from the beautiful state of Jalisco in
Mexico. This is also where she considers her second home to be at. As a
matter of fact, she sees herself living in Mexico in a near future, especially
after a recent visit with her family to celebrate La Virgen de la Candelaria in
Acatic for two weeks last month (see story in last weeks issue).
Outside of school, Alma loves watching the Lion King or listening
to music. A song she loves to listen to is EL Rengo del Gallo Jiro. She loves
listening and dancing along to banda, cumbias, zapateado, tamborazo, and
many more. Gallerita is definitely the life of the party and the type of girl
you would love to have around. Alma drives her cool silver Ford truck to
Braum’s, where she is currently employed. Before getting to work, she
chills out to La Zeta on the radio.
At work, Alma can certainly make some mean sundaes and is a
pleasure to work with. When it comes to relaxation she prefers to play a
little game of Mario Cart on her Wii or watch La Querida del Centauro on
Telemundo. Her hobbies include going to horse races and rodeos. Making
Alma happy is really easy. Simply take her shopping to Charlotte Russe or
Rue 21 and make her some chiles rellenos for dinner.
Alma has participated in the wonderful sport of futbol, or soccer,
through out high school. She loves Mrs. Hobza’s FACS class and considers
her to be one of her favorite teachers. Mr. Kaya has also made her list of
favorites, describing him as a funny and outgoing teacher. He will definitely
be missed after graduation. Blanca, Briana, and Andrea will also be missed.
They are three of her best friends here at KHS.
“Gallerita” isn’t really sure what she will be up to after high
school but will for sure be making history somehow. Her advice to under-
classmen is “Don’t get in my way,” and some words to her fellow senior
classmates are “We made it!”

Library changes in KHS By: Lisa Baxter/ls
Ms. Johnson has decided to better the organiza-
tion of the library. When I talked to her on February 17th,
2016 she said that she hopes it will be done by spring.
There is a good chance everything in the li-
brary will change. There will be signs to tell us where
the books are and what genre they are.
They will also be color coded. Johnson has her
library aides organize the books in a way that it is easy
to find a book of a specific genre. (e.x. Thriller, Mystery,
etc.)
This unique organization tactic will hopefully
enable students to better find and read books of their
choice. This will also allow pupils to expand their usual
genre choices.
Not only is Ms. Johnson reorganizing the li-
brary, but she is also doing a little bit of Spring Clean-
ing. As she goes through the books with the help of her
library aides, they gather the books that they chose to
retire. After all of the books that are being retired are
gathered, they will be donated.
Now you will also be able to read books simi-
lar to the ones you love. Next time you’re in the library
here at KHS, it will, hopefully, be much easier to find
the book you’ve been dying to read.
Parental Lock: Good
or Bad?
Opinion By: Michael Sutton/ls
Recently, fellow Stinger Reporter Rob-
bie Haynes wanted to do an article over Chuck
Tingle and was stopped due to parental lock.
There are many things, like YouTube,
that have their educational possibilities, but there
are also many terrible things on the internet and
are blocked for a reason.
At the beginning of the year, they went
over how they could see who went to what web-
site, so we needed to make sure not to let anyone
use your login. However, with this in effect why
even have the parental block to begin with?
If you can see where people go, then you
can see if they go somewhere they are not sup-
posed to. If the Principal was to take them off,
then places, like YouTube, and other sites would
be so much easier to access.
With these sites and other ones able to
be used for school work, it would make it a lot
easier to find sources for essays and other assign-
ments.
There is not downside to lifting the lock
on computers, we are/should be old enough to
know what’s right or wrong, and if not, we can
see who was on what and punish them according-
ly.

Heart Breaks
Opinion by: Alma Atondo/ls
People get their hearts broken every day.
The wrong love hurts. Humans do not understand
that getting their heart broken slowly kills you inside.
You do not realize that people are hurt or suffering.
Sometimes, the people that smile the most,
are the ones that are hurt the most. They are the ones
that need your help. You never really know what is
going on in someone’s life. Artists make a lot of
heart broken songs just because of how many people
suffer from a broken heart.
Heart breaks do not only come once in a
while. You can get a heart broken when you have
high hopes and dreams about something one minute,
and in just a flash, you are let down. All that you had
wished for comes crashing down, so you have noth-
ing else to look forward to in the morning.
The one person who made your life worth
living for is gone and leaves you with nothing but
memories.
There are no signs of caring, or sympathy
and you just a memory of their face. You can do
nothing but watch them walk away, and no matter
how much you ask for them to return, they continue
walking.
They no longer belong to you, and you are
left answering your own questions about what went
wrong. Now that they are gone, you realized that you
are right back where you started.
Your heart is broken.
Peyote Ceremony
By: Janelle Hawk/ls
Last weekend, we had a meeting for my grandma Joyce. Friday evening
we went down to Concho. My grandma was cooking to feed us before we went in.
She didn’t go in with us because she had to stay up all night cooking to feed us in
the morning.
We went in late on Friday. When I had entered, everybody was sitting
around the teepee. I sat by my mom, because this was my first time going in. Before
we started, we had to talk about what was going on. They then gave my grandma
Joyce some peyote to take.
My grandpa is one of the main chiefs in our tribe, so he had to do every-
thing. He explained to us why it was so important to pray. He said some things in
life aren’t always going to go the right way, so you have to pray that things get bet-
ter. He then finally told us that we had to sing 21 songs all night. We started to pray
then passed the medicine around. We had fire in the middle, so when we took the
medicine it would make us see the way to the good things in life. We stayed up all
night praying and singing.
When morning came we went outside and
sang until the morning star had risen up. After that, we
went back in and then got to come out of the teepee.
My mom had to carry water, and then my mom, some
family members, and I carried in food. Once we got
done eating, we went in our community building to
eat.
That night was something I have never ex-
perienced before, and I hope I can do it again some-
time. My Native-American culture is full of wonder-
ful and fascinating traditions and I look forward to
growing up and learning more about it all.

Oklahoma Stu-
dent’s Facebook
Post Goes Viral By: Stinger Staff
The following was posted on a
Chickasha, Oklahoma high school students
Facebook page. It has gone viral, bringing
attention to the issue of bullying in high
schools. The Editors of The Stinger are dedi-
cating two pages of this issue to publishing
the post in its entirety.
———————————-
I haven’t posted about this because
I didn’t want to be “one of those people”
posting about personal problems on social
media. But I can’t not talk about this any-
more. I want to help bring awareness to the
situation and help people to realize the affect
their words have on others.
Since my freshman year of high
school I have had a group of girls who have
tormented me. They would stand on chairs in
restaurants to take pictures of me during
lunch, flip me off, call me very rude names,
and cuss at me in the hallway, and they even
came to my house one night and vandalized
my car.
There was a rumor going around
that year that I killed myself. And then peo-
ple were posting on social media “good I
hope she did”. The group of girls got sus-
pended that year and when asked why they
were tormenting me their response was “I
don’t even know her, I just don’t like her”. I
didn’t feel safe anywhere. I was scared of
what would happen next.
This year the drama started again.
When my dad was in the hospital for a pul-
monary embolism that 9/10 people die from,
they tweeted and texted me saying I was
being a “Victim” about my dad. They made
me feel like I didn’t have a right to be scared
or sad about anything going on.
They post on social media about
my voice, my laugh, when I wear makeup,
when I don’t wear makeup, about my lips,
my hair, anything and everything you can
imagine. And with group dynamics- when a
couple people start hating, it turns into wild-
fire and becomes a huge group of people all
hating on one person.
As the group of girls walk past me
at school they give me death stares and laugh
at me and continue to call me rude names
and cuss at me. They have started Twitter
conversations with 10+ people tweeting
about how much they hate me and all the
things that are wrong with me. It doesn’t just
last for an hour or a day- it’s lasts for multi-
ple days.
There is even a group text called
“The Baylee Haters” where all they do is
pick me apart and hate on me. I can’t even sit
in the student section at school sporting
events because these bullies and their friends
yell rude things at me. I am afraid to be alone
at my own school.
Some of the girls have texted me
saying I deserve all the bullying BECAUSE I
wasn’t a support to my Pom team Septem-
ber-November. Well, I had 6 major knee
surgeries at once and physically couldn’t
walk, then when I could walk I had physical
therapy 3 days a week for two or more hours
a day in Norman.
And the other two days of the
school week I had to go home and watch my
dad since he was 24 hour care while my
mom went to pick up my sister from school.
(All of this was approved and okay with my
pom coach). The girls moms have even told
my mom that I deserve the hate because their
daughter has physical therapy too but she
still shows up to pom.
Well, she has a sprained ankle and
can go to PT in Chickasha for 15 minutes.
But I have to see a specialist in the city.
When I got into wrestling home-
coming they started saying “how did she get
in homecoming” “still pissed Baylee is in
homecoming but I can’t be in it with my
boyfriend” and the tweets would get 30 plus
favorites. They would also tell people not to
vote for me.
And worst of all… When my dad
was in the hospice house, they texted me
saying they hope my dad dies. My mom and
I couldn’t even be on our phones to tell loved
ones where we were or give updates because
our phones were being blow up with hate and
heartless comments.
Then my dad passed away 3 days
later… Two days after he passed was wres-
tling homecoming, I didn’t want to go be-
cause dad had just passed but he would’ve
been very upset with me if I hadn’t gone.. So
I went.
I didn’t want sympathy, I didn’t
want anyone to feel sorry for me. All I want-
ed was some respect, peace, and quiet. But of
course that didn’t happen. They then started
telling people they hoped I don’t win because
of “sympathy votes”.
Today- Just a couple of hours ago, I
posted the details for my dads funeral on
Twitter because I have friends and family
who wanted the information. Within 3
minutes of me posting the info- one of the
girls subtweeted me and said “nobody cares”.
Nobody cares? Nobody cares that a
human being died? That a husband, uncle,
friend, and DAD, died? Truly, my heart
breaks for the girls and boys who have put
me through so much these past three years. I
have been very good at sucking it up and
pushing forward even with all the hate.
But to say that no one cares that A
DAD died is just sickening to me. They have
to be so miserable with their life that they
feel the need to hate on someone so much.
The saddest part is that they think it is cool to
bully.
f you don’t have anything nice to
say, don’t say anything at all. And for those
of you who favorite and retweet negative
posts about someone- you too are a bully.
You NEVER know someone’s breaking
point. So why even push the limit?
Parents, I beg you- please teach
your children to be sensitive to others. If they
don’t like someone then they don’t have to
be around them but DON’T harass them and
make their life miserable. Hold your children
accountable.
People bully because they know
they can get away with it without any conse-
quence. So hold your kids accountable and
teach them to treat others the way they want
to be treated. For instance, if your child
doesn’t want someone to say they hope their
parent dies and that they’re happy once he
Continued on Page

does. Then teach your children not to say it to others.
Peers, if you see anyone being bullied- don’t fall into the immaturity of the bully. Stand up for the bullied. If enough people start
defending the bullied then it won’t be as fun for the bully to bully.
Bullies keep going because their friends think “it’s funny” and it makes the bully feel cool because all of the attention is on them.
I can tell you personally it is very lonely being bullied because people don’t want to stand up for you because they’re afraid of the person
who is bullying or that then they will start getting bullied as well.
I do not want sympathy for anything that has happened in my life because I truly believe that everything happens for a reason.
Maybe I have gone through all of this so that I could share my story with you today and bring awareness to adults and teens about the affect
of bullies. The school system and society makes the bullied feel so alone and wrong for even being bullied. When in reality it is not the
fault of the bullied. The one who is wrong is the bully. No matter what “reason” you have for bullying someone- it is INVALID. And DO
NOT EVER tell someone they deserve to be bullied.
Because they don’t. No one does. Have compassion for others and remember- if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say
anything at all.
Please share this to raise awareness Thank you & God bless.
Baylee Ogle
My Family Tree By: Teresa Rangel/ss
Have you ever gone into the deepest
depths of your train of thoughts and ques-
tioned your existence? Where did I come
from? How did I come to be? I initially took
this challenge on my freshmen year by asking
my mother’s maternal cousin if we had any
Native American roots, just out of curiosity
for the school, but I never took the incentive.
Who really cares?
I was the heavy procrastinator my
freshman year. All I cared about at the time
was the inner magical world I had created in
the abyss of my mind with rainbows and sparkly glitter everywhere along with
my best friend Clairanda. Well, last year during December, I decided to actually
look at those emails I had gotten of my second cousin and I regret nothing, be-
cause that is when I submerged myself in learning more about the majestic leg-
end I am.
It all started around Christmas bread when books wouldn’t fill in for
the crevices of my ever absorbing brain. I grabbed my Toshiba, my chamomile
tea, crossed my legs, and put the computer on my lap. I went to my treasure map
and started navigating my way through the ancient water of the gene pool. (I
tried using ancestry.com and the trial wasn’t worth it! My family records aren’t
from North America continental soil they’re mostly European.) I went to Gene-
alogia de Mexico online and found a list of free records! That was really awe-
some!
My cousin told me to search the name of our oldest recorded ancestor
on my mothers side and all of them obviously conquistadors, royalty, viceroys
of Mexico with connections to King Ferdinand the Catholic (He was the one
who sent the expedition to the Americas funding Cristobal Colon.), and the Ican
Princess Quispe Sisa!
But let’s start to work our way up here! We can’t start from the top and
make our way to the bottom. So, this article is just a teaser of what I am. I will
be posting articles here and there periodically whenever I can.
T.I.M.E. Opinion By: Clairanda Porter/ls
Time slips by like a snake in liquid dirt. You
try to hold on, but your efforts are wasted like a party
girl. You tell yourself that you will enjoy the time you
have, but it goes by so fast that it is hard to tell that you
had it in the first place.
Every moment you have could be tainted by a
flutter here or there; it is never certain that moments will
become memories.
Time is what makes our life structured. With-
out time we would not have the flow that we call life.
We have a love hate relationship with time for the sim-
ple reason that it goes by too fast or too slow.
When we wish we could freeze time, to stay in
a moment, time goes by in fast motion. When we wish
we could time travel to the future, everything goes by in
the slowest motion possible.
As there are few things certain in our short
existence, death and time passing are those few. Time
may pass, but the feeling of time is never set in stone.
Time could be an acronym for, Trust-In-Manifested-
Emotions. As said before, without time our world would
be completely different.
Without emotions our world would be flip
upside down; no war, no love, no motivation to live. Our
very life is built upon time passing and the emotions that
we scrape up as we drag our fleshly bodies through it.
If you get anything from this article then take
from it that emotions are needed, and okay.

Senior Profile:
Briana Marquez By: Alma Padilla/ls

of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, our soon to be graduating
senior, Briana Marquez, was born.
Briana is the child of Antonio and Glafira
Marquez. She is the 3rd of 4 unique children: Su-
sana 26, Armando 24, and Yesenia 14. Briana or as
they call her, “Bri” is involved in wrestling as a
manager and also plays soccer for KHS.
Bri’s favorite subject is English.
Mrs.Hobza is known for being her favorite teacher
because of her kindness and great personality.
Briana plans on going to college to major
for Special Education. In the future she see’s herself
in college and maybe with a fiance. Her favorite
movie is, The Longest Ride because of the hunk that
stars in it.
Briana’s favorite type of music is Country

ly and friends are some of her hobbies. When it

She is really exited for graduation her ad-
vice to underclassmen is, “Dont wait untill the last
minute to do something.” The thing she will most
miss about KHS is definitely not the food, but her
friends and all the memories that were made here.
Her last words to her fellow seniors class-
mates are “We made it”.

Crushes
vs Obsessions Opinion by: Lisa Baxter/ls
There IS a difference between having a crush
and an obsession. A crush is when you like
someone, and an obsession is when you stalk
the person you are obsessed with and know
everything about them. See, they are not the
same, so here are some things I’m going to be
talking to you people about:
CRUSH
1. You smile/blush when you see them.
2. You blush if they talk to you.
3. You’re nervous around them.
OBSESSION
1. Thinking you like the person you are ob-
sessing over.
2. Stalking them.
3. Finding out where the person lives.
4. Knowing the persons number when it was-
n’t given to you from them.
5. Spending all your time thinking about
them.
6. You spy on the persons friends list.
7. You’ve read all the persons social media
posts.
8. Always dreaming on having a baby with
the person.
9. You think you see them everywhere.
10. You put your name with their last name.
11. You feel extreme hatred for the people
they are with.
12. You create imaginary conversations.
13. You think they are better than everyone
else.
14. You keep pictures of them.
15. You’re always reminded of them.
16. You dress extremely nice for them all the
time.

The Death of Ben Stiller’s Career By: Martin Padilla/kk
First off, I had no idea that Ben Stiller was capable of delivering such trash in a mov-
ie. I mean, I read a lot of reviews for this telling me how bad it was, but I had no idea it was
going to be this bad. I could tell you that this is a big steaming pile of dog poo, but that
would be offensive to dog poo.
From the minute it started I knew it was going to be bad, Justin Bieber was in it for
pete’s sake. I don’t know what was funnier about it, the characters or the plot line. It dragged
on and on and it honestly did not feel at all like I was watching Zoolander. The first Zoolan-
der is hilarious! It’s a good comedy and yes, it’s a little stupid, but it was enjoyable, funny,
and it was original! I feel like Ben Stiller wanted to make a sequel so badly he decided to do
everything on it.
He literally directed, wrote the screenplay, and starred in it.
The only thing I liked about this movie was that Mugatu’s character came back, even
then it was still terrible movie. It was like he was the only actor in the film that could have
made it go by faster and he doesn’t even appear until about a half hour before it ends. I know
sequels are usually never better than the original but this one really proves it. I would rather
slam my tongue in a car door than watch this horrid movie ever again. I expected so much
out of this movie after seeing the first one, but the jokes were dry, the characters were dull,
the plot was almost exactly the same as the first. To top it off Penelope Cruz is in it.
Did I mention Benedict Cumberbatch is in this? Yes, that’s right, this award winning
actor is in what is possibly the worst movie of 2016 so far. And his character is so weird,
freaky even. He looks like the kind of woman that introduces herself with “I’m a vegan”.
Overall this movie is complete garbage. I would say that you should wait for the
dollar rental at Redbox but one dollar is a little outrageous for a movie as stupid and
pointless as this, which is why I give it a D. Although it was terrible, unfortunately I have
seen worse. Don’t waste your money on this.
Flashback -The Best
Game of 2010
Opinion by: Nick Bradford/ss
The best game of 2010, in my op-
tions, is Rockstar’s Red Dead Repetition.
Almost everyone has played this game or at
least heard of it. The game takes place back
in the 20th century when it was lawless and
there were outlaws everywhere.
A follow up to the game Red Dead
Revolver, the game is about former outlaw
John Marston as he tries to save his family
by chasing his former friends and gang by
hunting them and killing them across the
American frontier to find them.
To help you find them you will
meet so new friends like the marshals, some
farmers and the leader of the Mexican Rev.
Then you have some old friends like the
U.S. army and two agents that are keeping
your family until you do what they ask of
you.
The game is an open world envi-
ronment for players to explore. There is a lot
you can do in the game. You can hunt and
sell skins to people, rob people, and kill
people. You can play blackjack, poker, have
a drink, and explore the frontier like you
want to.
The game allows you to go down
your own path. In the eyes of the law you
can be a hero or be an outlaw again by kill-
ing people. Sometimes you kill someone
and the law will put a bounty on you for a
lot of money.
If this happens you can see a lot of
bounty hunters after you. You can tame
horses and get the deed for them so you can
buy and own them.
The game is a lot of fun. It has a
great story behind the game and you will
have a lot of fun playing the game. I wish
they would make another one or put it on
Xbox One or PS4 because the game has
great graphics on it but it might need a little
bit more.
I would really like to see what it
would look like on Xbox One or PS4, but
other then that it was a good game. The end-
ing of the game is bad and if I wrote the
game ending I would have made it better.
