The student body is tired. They are tired of being late. They are tired of drag-ging in school. Most of all, the student body is tired of be-ing tired. All of us feel that we don’t get enough sleep and that’s why we need to have school start at a later time. Scientific studies have shown that a teen’s sleep clock kicks in at about 11 p.m. and shuts off at about 8a.m. School starts at 7:25 a.m. This means that we are technically asleep for about an hour while we are at school. While we try our best to stay awake by taking caffeine pills, energy drinks, or going to sleep earlier, they just don’t work because our brain is still asleep. Sleep is important in a teen’s life and not getting enough causes side effects. Besides having slow reaction time and being “brain dead,” there are far more serious consequences of not getting enough sleep. Students lacking sleep tend to be more depressed be-
cause they can’t seem to func-tion right and it puts them down. They have difficult re-lating to peers and adults be-cause they seem to lose inter-est in the world around them. Students lacking sleep also tend to use alcohol and drugs because they are used to dis-tancing themselves from the world and are comfortable with it. If students had a choice to go to school early or sleep in, most students would sleep in. Sleep deprivation is one of the leading causes of tardiness and truancies. This could seriously hin-der a school from doing its job to educate us and it has shown this in the past. Sleep deprived students have lowered grades, don’t attend school as often, and eventually drop-out. Two school districts in Minneapolis wanted to solve this problem. They started school at 8:30 a.m. instead of 7:20 a.m. each morning. Par-ents and students did not like this. They stated that it didn’t
Defenseless We’ve all experienced abuse at some point in our lives: emotionally, physically, or mentally. No one likes to experience that. But enough of us, I’m aiming for the animals. Whether you like them or not, they deserve respect. It doesn’t matter if they’re stray on the street or your house pet, abusing animals damages them mentally and physi-cally, and in some cases it may even take their lives. Animals are used for so many things now-a-days. They’re used from the meat on their bones to the fur on their backs, but cor-rect me if I’m wrong, they earn the right to live on this green earth just like anyone else. If you love animals, that’s great! But there are parts of the world where people treat them like nothing. For instance, in Tokyo they capture little puppies and kill them for their fur. I don’t know about you, but it’s wrong to kill living things just for the thrill of money.
You also have to look on the downside of things. Yes, some animals are dangerous and aren’t the friendliest creatures ever. We have a natural instinct to stay away for safety. It’s common sense. I’m sure you know of or have seen a dangerous animal attempting to hurt someone. That tells everyone to be aware of their actions….enough said. I figured this article wasn’t enough to get my point across to you readers out there so I expanded my resources; I interviewed a vet-erinary doctor. Mr. Jacob Woods works here in West Valley at a local Vet hospital. Had he ever had an animal patient who was abused? “Yes, a couple of times actually, there was an incident just last week. There was a full grown male Golden Retriever that had broken ribs (which was kicked several times) and one broken hind leg. It was obvious that this poor dog was beaten. He was beaten by the owner
leave enough time for life out of school. By the end of the year, schools in the district reported a reduction in dropout rates, less depressed students, and high grades. A survey made by Edina school reported that parents and students actually preferred the change in sched-ule by the end of the year. We could do the same thing here. We could start school at 8:25 a.m. instead of 7:25 a.m. to help us function better. If we did this, I would
bet that we would see the same effects here as were seen in Minneapolis. We could have a reduction in drop-out rates, less depressed students, and an increase in grades. The fact is, students are creating a “sleep debt.” By doing this we are not able to function at our full potential in school. Unless we change this, our school will still just be sleeping during first period.
who at the time was intoxicated. The neighbor found the dog in the front yard, and brought it straight over here. Now the dog has a cast on his hind leg, and bandaged ribs. Thanks to the neighbor the dog’s life was saved. Well, the dog was taken to the Humane Society and put up for adoption. Surprisingly enough, the dog found an owner the same day, which was the neighbor who found him. Now the dog is on its way to recovery and has found a new home.” Aww…don’t you love happy endings? But not all animals have someone come to their rescue. Do you see how bad animals have it? Animals get abused for so many reasons, and they don’t even deserve it. This takes me to my conclusion, to encourage others to STOP animal abuse. Believe it or not, they play a big part in all of our lives…

Here’s how they feel now that it’s all over: Katie Rubio said, “I sort of knew what would happen, I knew from when I read the others in fourth grade. The ending came out how I thought. It put you on the edge, made you want to read more. As you’re reading you can imagine the things that you read. Also, I read the sev-enth one in three days, and I don’t think I’d change anything. Don’t read the ending first though.” Mr. Cousins simply said, “It is fine the way it is!”Did they make any predic-tions on the book? “Yeah, I was always predicting things,” Mr. Cousins replied, “I always
thought that Snape was a vampire, because he likes dank, dark environments. I knew who R. A. B. was, and that Kreacher had a part to play in the sense of destroying the Horcrux-es.” “I thought that Dumbledore wasn’t dead. I kind of skipped ahead and read the end first. Very proud of myself for read-ing the book!” said Ms. Judy adding, “I wish there were seven more books on Harry Potter!” This seven-hundred-and-fifty-nine page book is in stores everywhere. In this seventh installment there was life with the birth of a baby, death while life went on, and the world of Harry Potter closed. If you haven’t read Harry Potter #7 or any of the others, read all before reading the seventh one for yourself.

“Rachel Joy Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America – Rachel’s Challenge.” –rachelschallenge.com We got the opportunity this year as well as last year to be able to have the Rachel’s Challenge program come to our school. Rachel Scott was such an amazing person, and she had a powerful story to share with the world. “Rachel lived a life filled with kindness and compassion, and because of it, she’s changed the world.” –Craig Scott, Rachel’s Brother. The students at the assembly watched intently as video footage of the Columbine tragedy and clips from Rachel’s life were playing. Nicole Nowlen was
the guest speaker and shared her story as well. She was shot, but was lucky enough to survive to tell about it. Rachel has touched the lives of so many people around the world. Before she died, she wrote a paper for her English class called “My Ethics, My Codes of Life”. In her essay, she said “I have this theory that if one person
October 2007 Volume L, Issue I1
can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” She lived her life by this theory, and that is why so many people cherished her during her lifetime.
There are five things that make up Rachel’s Challenge:
1. Eliminate prejudice by looking for the best in
others.
2. Dare to dream- set goals –keep a journal.
3. Choose your influences- input equals output.
4. Use kind words- small acts of kindness = huge
impact.
5. Start a chain reaction of kindness with family and
friends.
Many students at granger signed a banner that read “I accept Rachel’s Challenge!” If we work hard to go the extra mile and start a chain reaction of kindness, it will be worth it in the end. “Don’t let your character change color with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true color.”-Rachel Scott.

We all are a little cramped in this building, what would be the fastest and safest way out in a fire or a disaster of any kind? This is a question that has the Principal and Vice Prin-cipals stumped as well. Mr. Murdock experi-enced one a real lock down. About two years ago he was teaching computer tech at Dixie High. The school was locked down and all the stu-dents assumed it was just a drill. Word got out that there
was a bank robbery near by and the robber could be run-ning around outside. Luck-ily nobody was running around at the same time and nobody got hurt. Some students might be wondering what the new batons are for. They’re a signal to principals to give an accurate account of how many students are account-ed for. They are new and experimental but I have a feeling they are going to be quite useful.
Please follow the teachers during the fire drills. “I fear for the stu-dents; I want everyone to be safe, ” Mr. Murdock said. I’m sure all of the teachers here at granger have those intentions too. You never know when there’s a real situation or it’s just a drill so take every drill serious-ly. There are going to be a few adjustments to how the principals want to evacuate. I know most students think of a fire drill as an easy time
out from class but as I said you never could be sure about a drill or a real situa-tion.

Girls with Spirit! Most girls didn’t know what was coming as they set off to Utah’s Girls’ State. They quickly learned as they arrived there. Along with hundreds of girls from around the state, seven Granger High girls attended: Katie Bullock, Deja Connell, Sara Farnsworth, Andrea Partner, Heather Sundblom, Ellice Tan, and Mele Tu’anoe. Each started with their own reasons for attending, but all came home with a new respect for their contry. Ellice said, “The most important lesson I learned at Girls’ State was to support the country, to be loyal and patriotic.” Many teens don’t care about the country, government, or politics, but at Girls’ State, they learned to care. Deja reiterated this when talking about caring for the country before and after Girls’ State, “I didn’t care beyond my life, but now I care more.” Jill Stevens was a speaker at Girls’ State who encouraged the girls to gain support of their country. She was a soldier who went to Afghanistan after the attack on the World Trade Canter. Her stories helped Ellice “…gain appreciation, respect, and gratitude for the soldiers…” Jill shared how she was able to communicate with the native children through the language barrier. She sang for them and they were astounded (as it isn’t part of their culture). She played games and taught them the sign for “I love you.” As she was leaving for the last time, she looked back on
the city she had often visited; the children were waving and signing “I love you.” It was a sight she would never forget. Attendees of Girls’ State understood the good things the soldiers were doing for the country they were serving in. Governor Huntsman also came to speak. He gave the girls five goals:
1. Dream. Find your passion and pursue it.
2. Find a good role model.
3. Exercise attributes of the human soul.
(Integrity, compassion, courage, etc.)
4. Find something to love greater than yourself.
5. Have a commitment to service.
These same goals are extended to the students of Granger. Governor Huntsman was Sara’s favorite speaker. This experience at Girls’ State has made her consider a career in Political Science. Girls’ State had a mock government. There were cites with mayors, auditors, city councils, state representatives, and judges. For counties there were county commissioners,

attorneys, treasurers, assessors, clerks, recorders, and sheriffs. The State had a Governor, Lt. Governor, attorney general, state auditor, state treasurer, justices, and nation senators. They learned about parliamentary procedure, and had mock House and Senate meetings. Katie said it was actually fun. Girls’ State wasn’t only meetings, but many late nights filled with making campaign materials, bonding, and fun. It may have been hard to wake
up so early, but the girls felt it was worth it. They were able to become close to the other girls in their city. The cities were named after previous Governors. Like Walker, Maw, Matheson, Rampton, etc. One thing the cities did was make a song for the song fest to represent their city. Singing was something done a lot at Girls’ State. They even had a song for the boys around campus, (whom they
weren’t allowed to talk to). Overall, the girls encourage anyone who wants to go, or is even curious, to find some information. Granger’s own Susan Atkin was the director last year, so if any junior girls are interested, talk to her in room 204. It would be an experience which would change you forever.

While most students were preparing for Back to School (and hurrying to have their last summer fun), Granger High’s Dance Company gathered together at 7:00 a.m. for their annual Dance Camp August 17 and 18. When you hear “Dance Camp”, you might instantly picture a dance team pitching tents and taking hikes. That’s not exactly how it was. We went downtown for two days and took different dance classes from the Ririe Woodbury Dance Company. Even though we stayed in a hotel, we still worked hard. There were 5 classes a day, each an hour long. Laurie Carlson said, “I liked the dance classes this year because they helped us understand different styles of dancing and rhythm.” The Ririe Woodbury Dance Company teaches different types of dance each year to expand our knowledge of current styles in dancing. “This year I liked the Technique, Jazz, and Yoga classes. They helped us learn new ways to stretch and strengthen ourselves as
Lancer Dancer Camper
dancers,” said Kylee Merehew. “It is so important for the team to spend time together for a few days because it helps us bond as a team, work together, and progress to new levels of dancing.” T r a v e l i n g downtown to Salt Lake City was definitely important for our team because it not only improved our dancing skills, but it also helped us become closer friends and make new memories. So what do
you get when you take 20 dancers, a water fountain at the Gateway, and great music? You get a full on dance party! This is a tradition for our team and definitely a favorite activity. Even though we all got soaking wet, we had a great time playing in the water fountain. Though I do wonder what other people were thinking when they saw 20 high school teenagers acting like 4 year olds and playing hands up stands up in the water… Before we headed back to the hotel, Adeena told us that it would be better if we
October 2007 Volume L, Issue I1
walked around City Park instead of through it. But when we got there, we were all still in our wet clothes, so we decided that it would be a lot faster to cut through it instead of around. “It was really scary because the whole way through the park, all these bums came up to us and were talking to us,” said Kylee Merehew. I guess that was our mini lesson: always listen to Adeena, even if it means walking longer in wet clothes! Here’s a question: If you tape 20 dancers together and put them into an elevator,
Nichole Butters
would they all fit? And if they could, would the elevator move? We got the opportunity to experience this first hand. We played a game where the whole Dance Company was taped together. One person was out of the circle to tell us different tasks to do. There were two rules: we couldn’t break the tape, and we had to have our eyes closed the whole time. This game was fun (except when your feet got stepped on by everyone) and it taught us to trust each
other by listening to the girl instructing us. Laurie Carlson led us, and told us to walk to the elevator, get in, go to the fourth floor, and then come back. So there we were, all in our pajamas and waddling our way to the elevator with our eyes closed. We could barely fit in, and we realized that our total weight was more than the maximum for the elevator. It wouldn’t move up or down. The alarm went off by accident, so we decided it was time to get out and try a new challenge. We all had a great time this year and made many
fond memories. Even though being on Dance Company takes a lot of energy and hard work, I think everybody would agree that it is a positive experience. So, next time you hear Granger High’s Dance Company is performing, come out and support us! (Football halftime on October 18th) We were definitely satisfied with this year’s trip, and we all look forward to having a great 2007/08 school year!

Movies! Movies! Movies! What can I say about movies? Nothing much except they’re just great to watch! I’m going to fill you in on some movies on the verge of coming out or are a little bit farther away but have high expectations. There are a couple of different genres that I choose to focus on so everyone with different tastes can get come info. A comedy Starring Jack Black called Be Kind Rewind will be released Jan 25th of 2008, directed by Michel Gondry. It’s about a man(Jack Black) who becomes brain washed and unintentionally destroys every tape in his best friend’s store. In order to satisfy the store’s most loyal customer, (an aging women with signs of dementia), the two men set out to remake the lost films, which include Back To The Future, The Lion King, and Robocop. Sounds hilarious right? A romantic Comedy, Good Luck Chuck, is also coming out. I’ve heard rumors from a friend who’s seen an
early sneak peak that“It’s just a typical romantic comedy, too easy to predict.” That’s still not a strong enough reason too prevent me from seeing it. Why? I’m a huge Jessica fan! I wonder if some guys can figure out why. “A movie we must see, Denny,” said John Lee, an anxious fan. Well if you’re a fan like either of us are, don’t just let any rumor stop you from seeing a great looking movie hitting the big screens Sept 21st 2007! I’m action hungry and won’t get fed for a while. There are going to be some action flicks coming out but not hitting the big screens for another 6 months to a year. Jon Favreau has something stirring up for us. The great Iron Man is going to be an adventurous, action packed, great, big screen, bursting movie! Now I know you can already tell I can’t wait for this one to come out. When the time comes, remember don’t miss out on this great flick starring Robert Downey Jr. Now I would like to
get the attention of my Halo fans. There has been a rumor that Halo is coming out with a movie. I researched and it is true! This Halo movie is announced to come out in 2009. I know that seems like a long way away but the wait is worth waiting for. I don’t really have much info on this, but I sure will keep you updated! So, if you have a lot of time on your hands and you
and your friends have nothing to do but sit around, catch a movie. A movie can take you into adventurous, hilarious, sad, or romantic worlds. I hope gave you some great ideas on what to do on the weekends.
