Granger, and Kearns High schools have finished a series of ‘Save Darfur’ concerts, held on three
nights, once at each of the schools. Talented students such as tap dancers, modern dancers, madrigals, and American Sign Language clubs all performed works dedicated to the people of Darfur. The goal was to make $2500. However they raised $10,000.

It is not just the thing that
sits up top your head. In fact, it can be used in shouting one’s personality.
The way you style your hair can be a significant part in self-expression. Nowadays, teens feel a need to break away from the “norm”, and how they style their hair one way of doing just that. “It shows personality,” says Mason Barney, sporting around flamboyant red hair. Though self expression is one huge factor in hairstyling, it’s not the only reason. In fact, one driving force in this stylish form of creativity is “art”. It’s one of the most modern forms of “art”, exclaiming peoples
own personal ideas and imagination, by cutting, dyeing, and styling the s e e m i n g l y boring mops
on our heads. “I want to capture the inner workings of my mind,” quotes Gentry Salm. Self-expression and art are
two very valid reasons, yes, but there is another, more common factor people style hair: Boredom. Getting bored is an easy task to manage, styling hair can be an enjoyable pass time. Not only does it tend to be fun, it can be the same for others as well. Connie Anderson proves this to be true, explaining she has dyed her hair all the colors of the rainbow, and then some. Connie states she started doing hair because “somebody screwed up while cutting my hair and I wanted to fix it.” This may have been the inspiration for her interest in hair, but today she most often does it out of boredom. She plans on using what she has learned to pursue a career in cosmetology. You too can be like Connie. If you are interested in a career in cosmetology, talk to Mr. Jenkel in the Career Center.

Mechanical pencils, they are not the most convenient things in the world. “The lead always breaks,” says Alex Wilkenson (10). Here is a list of pros and cons a b o u t mechanical pencils.
Whats your pencil flava!
Cons The squeaky •
noise they make when you write Their sharp, it hurts when you get stabbed by them
Runs out of lead quickly•
Constantly clicking them.•
And when you need it •most, there is no more lead. Conveniently inconvenient.
ProsThe eraser is amazing•
Keeps your paper looking •good
Stealing Sam’s favorite •mechanical pencil is funny, because she gets really angryThe grips are exciting•“You do not have to sharpen •them,” says Nick Speters (12)
Ultimately, it is your choice of pencil, whether it be mechanical or traditional. Remember to use #2 lead!
Dear Lancy, I am dating this big cry baby who gets angry too easily. But I would feel bad if I broke up with him because I already broke his heart once. I don’t really like him that way. What do I do?Sincerely, The heart breakerDear heart breaker,Honesty is the key in all relationships, friendship or romantic. You have hurt him before and you are scared to hurt him again because you still have feelings for him. Of course they are not “love” feelings anymore, but you still care for him as a friend or you wouldn’t be scared to just break up with him. Take it from me tell him the truth about how you feel. Be honest and tell him that you just don’t feel the same way anymore. Tell him that you really did not want to hurt him because you still care for him as your friend and that you do still want to be able to be friends when he’s ready! Even if he cries now it will hurt him more to find out how you felt from a friend.<3 Lancy
Lancy, Should I drop out? I’m stressed
Dear Lancy
out and see no point to school-careless drop outCareless,Don’t be careless, be smart! School is hard, but life as a drop out will be even harder! High school drop outs on average make under twenty $20K a year (an average of one thousand six hundred dollars a month) while those who graduate make closer to $30K. It may be the easier thing to do at the moment but in the future it will make life harder financially. I recommend talking to your teachers if you are stressed, they will understand and give you more time. But please don’t drop out. You will regret it. <3 Lancy

When you were 11 years old,
the activities that filled your day were probably playing with neighborhood kids,
riding your bike, and enjoying 5th grade. But here is another concept of an 11 year olds life: attending high school. Taking honors classes, studying for exams, and preparing for college. That’s exactly how it is for Darius Reed. Now Darius is a junior who attends Granger High after skipping six grades. The most common question asked by fellow students is: why? “I skipped a lot of grades because I felt like they were too easy. I was home schooled most of my years in elementary, but I went to part of 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade.” said Darius. Darius not only has skipped many grades, but he is also currently taking many honor classes here at Granger. “I am taking honors biology, honors
physics, honors world studies, and math 1010. For me, the work that I am doing at Granger is very easy, just like the work I should be doing in 5th grade at Pioneer Elementary.” So how was this amazing boy able to skip that many grades? “I had to test for a long time and take many tests and exams. I took 3 IQ tests, and my IQ is 147. I am a part of a group called MENSA, which is a group of people of all ages. We
do different kinds of activities like going to planetariums and museums. I really like being a part of MENSA.” Many students don’t even know what their IQ is right now, but the average is about a 100! For an 11 year old, that is definitely quite an achievement. We asked him what he does in his spare time, and he said “I love the mountains, riding my bike, rock climbing, and paragliding. I really like adventure. I am also involved in
scouts, because we get to do fun activities like build huts. Even though I go to high school, most of my friends are my age. My 5 brothers and sisters are my very good friends, too.” Granger High is lucky to have Darius come here, but many were wondering why exactly he chose to come to Granger as opposed to other high schools. “I was trying to decide between Cyprus and Granger, but I chose to come to Granger High School because I live just down the street, and it has the most concurrent enrollment classes.” While interviewing Darius, we noticed that he is taking many science- related classes. We asked him where he plans to attend college and what he wants to major in. “I would like to go to the University of Utah and major in astronomy, physics, or anything in the science field.” So “if you think your grade feels too easy for you” Darius recomends “My advice to other kids would be, you should try to skip that grade.”
Eleven years old and in eleventh grade
Some might say that
chivalry was a thing of the past like the midevil times with knights and jousters
but you might change your mind when you hear this story. One of our school staff from the counseling center Mrs. Victoria Lake had a little accident a few days ago outside on the stairs by the cafeteria. The students from our school helped her out and were very courteous when this happened. Here is Mrs. Lake’s story; One day after school she was
waiting for her husband to pick her up after school when her heel slipped off the edge of the stairs as she took a step and she tumbled all the way down to the bottom. At first the kids around her, just stared in shock, and they all crowded around her. Someone told the crowd to stand back and give her some air. They helped her up and asked her if she was ok. She said she was still in shock, so she did not answer them. She said “some students found her husband as he pulled up in his car and told him his wife had fallen,” so that he could help her.
She said she was fine after that and she thought it was really courteous of those students to act on the situation at the time as quickly as they did when she needed it. She said she just wanted to thank those students for all their help. So here is proof that chivalry is not a thing of the past at Granger High School.
Got chivilary? If you are not head cheerleader or are running for
homecoming queen, you are screwed. You will lose. Television and movies tell us so.
It seems that it is always the craziest, wealthiest, meanest girls in those shows tend to win the homecoming crown.
When asked to describe the typical homecoming queen, Mayra Landeros said “Preppy.” and “Well rounded.” Peter Gonzalez had said that the queen would have to be “Pretty”. I tried to picture the ‘typical’
The truth about the homecoming queen
Granger High homecoming crazyrichmean queen in my head. I couldn’t come up with someone who fit the bill. I guess that girls like that seem to be in short supply at Granger. I must investigate. I caught up with our own homecoming queen to see just how many sabotaging acts there are in the competition, surely one of the
oldest tricks in the book.
“Um, none” says Nichole Butters. Well, obviously only a loser could come up with an answer like that. “I was nominated in dance company.” Not a loser? This is so wrong! It must be her extremely rich parents that got her this far. “They are NOT (wealthy)” said Butters.
But how? How did she win? Was there any buttons or pins or muffins of cookies? “There was none of that, except Kolby Dudley wore a shirt that said ‘vote for

One thing she likes the most is how everyone here is friendly with each

“PTSA is a parent teacher student association which brings together parents, teachers and students in an
appropriate and beneficial way for our school.” says April, one of the PTSA members. Granger High School PTSA team put together a Car Show last month. The car show’s purpose was to raise awareness about the PTSA and also to raise money for it. It
was held on S a t u r d a y, September 13th 2008 at Granger P a r k . There were prizes for contestant w i n n e r s ,
games, food and inflatable slides. The contest had a wide variety of cars and contestants that entered the car show. (The car show

was judged by the PTSA) Mr. Lewis, the wild life biology teacher, entered his 1970’s Columbia blue Ford Mustang for “Best in show” and furthest driven division. Mr. Lewis says “he drove it 700 miles this summer for the car show.” His little blue Mustang won him the best in show award. One of the students, Zach Adams, entered his 1968 Red truck for “Best Truck” and his jeep Cherokee for “Dirtiest Car” division which won. Carlos Quijano entered his silver Eclipse for “Best Make”
and “Aleast I Have a Car” division. Senior Brandon Gallhager entered a 2003 Ford Focus for “Cleanest” and took the prize home for “Mom Bought Car.” Some other cars that showed up were a 2007 Pontiac Solsest which won the “People’s Choice Award” and a 2003-2004
BMW 3 series which was entered for “Best Import”, “Best In Show” and “Best Make”.
RJ Walker, from his school’s
Young Guns Car Club, entered his 1980 maroon Camero for “Best make” and “Best light show.” RJ Walker said the PTSA found him on the internet and asked him if he wanted to be in the car show. Unfortunately, not many people attended the Granger High School car show. Next year, more people should enter their cars or just come to the car show, because it was fun looking at all the great cars and participating.

to go to Washington D.C to protest war in Darfur at the National Mall.
Cyprus built a canvas tent of hope in which a small family could live. They decorated it with their hand prints and the phrase “Love everyone” In Arabic. It is not a luxurious mansion, or an apartment, but living in the security of a tent is a blessing for those who have been living under trees.
In school, students often attend assemblies about the misfortunes of others. Cash-poor students can feel useless because they have no money to donate. None of the students at “Save Darfur” felt useless. They used their talents to help.
The insignificant high school rivalries diminished as they stepped on the stage. It was no longer about the Lancers vs. the Pirates vs. the Cougars, or where football teams rank. It was about fellow human beings in Darfur who needed help.

Chelsea Pearson went looking for
her 2 year old nephew Conner only to find him lying at the very bottom of a 9 feet deep pool. “I
was in shock and had no idea what to do I was scared and nervous.” Said Chelsea.
What happened to little Conner? When Chelsea saw him lying at the bottom of the pool motionless she jumped in and pulled him out. Right away she gave him CPR. Chelsea had never used or done CPR on anyone before the only practice she had was what she learned in her health class. “When I heard him crying it was the best thing to hear!”

Chelsea resuscitated him before the paramedics got there. When they got there they lifeflighted Conner to the hospital and kept him for the night to be observed.
If Chelsea hadn’t learned CPR, the outcome of this incident may have been different. Chelsea deserves to be recognized for saving someone’s life. “I felt good I guess, to know that I did something like that.”

F o o t b a l l , there’s so
much more to football than just what people see. It’s two-a-days in102 degree weather,
practicing through the pain, conditioning every single day, eating, sleeping, and breathing football, trying to be better than the day before 24/7. “This season is going to be fantastic, the most fun I’ve had in years, the coaches are like fathers and brothers to me, their just amazing” Said Jose Corona 12th grade. The bond between the team and the coaches is incredible, their so much respect and love. It’s more than a friendship, they consider each other family. Many players are not even looking forward to senior year just because they’re going to miss being around each other and the coaches,
Dannee Hernandez 11th grade, believes it’s the best coaching staff ever, he’s not looking forward to leaving his senior year. “The Taylorsville game was amazing, it was my first high school game, I loved being under the lights” Said Tre Musgrow 11th grade. As you can tell it’s not just a game, it’s that feeling the boys get when they step onto the field and how it feels to be under them Friday night lights, hearing their school of over 1100 students screaming
and cheering for them, believing in them. This season started out great beginning with the Taylorsville victory, but then the rough part just began, many injuries have occurred this season some weren’t serious at all, but others have led to broken bones, and have ended the season for some. The team is really excited and pumped up for the season due to Granger’s new coaching staff and winning our very first game against Taylorsville. It’s hard to keep their heads up with the losses since then, the injuries, and the loss of a very amazing coach, but their doing it, for each other and for all the coaches. The seniors on the team are setting very good examples to the Juniors and Sophomores on how to be better and keep strong no matter what happens, not only in
football but life itself. How would it be to have to manage football, family, a social life, relationships, and grades? How does the team do it? “ Making grades is hard work because you’re always tired and too lazy to do your work”
Says Manu Samani 12th grade. The head coach Jonathan Matich is really looking forward to the seniors and having a years’
experience with the team already, he also says that he’s really proud of them and their behavior in the classroom and how they’ve become not only better players, but better students as well. “The leadership on the team is very strong, they really want to succeed” Jonathan Matich. Coach Matich provides a lot of time for the boys to make grades and he’s always open to help them out when they need it, he makes plenty of time for the boys, especially when it comes down to school work.“I like being captain, it takes a lot of leadership to guide the team” Says Manu Samani 12th grade.
More wins than ever
Athletes today have a
passion for playing there sports and they’ll defend there actions to the end.
Adriana Garcia plays for granger high girl’s soccer team but her injury is what makes her unique her ligaments in her right knee are torn yet she still plays soccer. “I have a passion for soccer and I love it” “My only regret is not being able to finish off the season and I’m a senior so it really sucks” Her passion for soccer keeps her playing through her dangerous injury yet she still runs and walks around today. Raziel Gonzales kick boxes/UFC styled fighting and his injury is a bruised bone on his calf. Every time he walks around its in pain yet
Playing for pain
Here’s a little secret, tennis is
awesome! Although some people think it’s not exactly a spectator sport Haley Peterjohn
says, “Tennis is more fun when you’re the one playing it.” And some other players like Danielle Lapatina agree on this statement as well. Most students who agree that tennis isn’t fun haven’t seen or watch tennis in action. Most students prefer to watch football games,
but the Tennis players aren’t d isappointed by the result.
O n e of the star players on the team Rachael Higginson has
played tennis for a long period of her high school year. She says, “Tennis is fun because it’s an individual sport, and my siblings before me have played Tennis as well.” Tennis just by watching it isn’t a very hard sport, but when you get on that field, its way more exciting then people think. Tennis players often prepare for a game by running and also of course exercising.

Although Gangers volleyball team
has a new coach this year, it didn’t stop them from owning East High School and
other fierce opponents who have challenged Granger in the past. This year with a new coach, the girls feel really good about their winnings, “I feel good about this year, all we need is more execution,” says Kalolina Samagi. The Volleyball players have been practicing a lot over the last couple of days and it paid off
when it came time to face East High School, as they fought them through and won. “This year is good, all we need to work on is more digging,” says star player Kalolina Samagi. “It’s very important to have school spirit in our games because it drives us more to do better,” says
Digging deep
Mahina Fa’amoe. School spirit is very important to the team because they feel the support from the crowd it is great and it helps them
concentrate better on the game. Granger students should attend these games to encourage Granger players to do better and win the games. “Coach Gardner is a great coach because she really is dedicated to the team and she devotes her time to us also.” Says Kalolina Samagi. The new Coach Mrs. Gardener joined our Volleyball
Team this year and has helped the team achieve their wins this year. The new coach has been great in training the girls for the games. It is a devoted team. The Volleyball girls think the crowd is doing an awesome job at supporting but their most important
Kolby Dudley on it” If the she isn’t like the media version of the homecoming queen then what is she like? “I love to dance, I love to sing… I love school. Its great and its fun.” It’s now easy to see that all those stereotypes of the homecoming queen is wrong. It’s not a sleazy and cruel election it’s brought up to be. It’s a bunch of good honest students, earning the crown. So if you get the opportunity to be homecoming royalty, there is no need to be afraid. Go for it. Who knows, that homecoming crown might just sit on your head next year.

concern is communication and intensity that improves their game play, “We need to communicate more and also improve on digging,” says Kalolina Samagi. So hear ye Granger High students, next time there’s a volleyball game, come on over and support the team, you may just end up helping them on their way to victory.
he still kick boxes after school at a sandy city gym. “It’s an adrenalin rush and in the end its worth it” he said “Because I Love It” Juan Banuelos football reinjured his knee from a previous injury during his sophomore year at granger. “I love the game and that’s why I risk even more injury from destroying my knee” an injury is not going to stop him from playing his sport. No injury is going to stop students form playing what they love because at granger high is very dedicated and very talented even, through bad times, and injuries they stick to there hopes and dreams and accomplish there goals.
