Within the next
couple of weeks the junior
class will be running for
next year’s Executive
Council. There is a series
of things that each student
has to do and perform in
order to run for Exec. It
will really put their
strengths and creative ide-
as to the test as they pre-
pare for one of the most
amazing experiences they
will have. They will learn
how to work with others,
serve, and truly come to
love the school and every-
one in it. The Exec Coun-
cil wants to make this a
great experience for the
newcomers and wants to
be able to help them as
much as they can.
President Morgan
Penrod said, “My advice
is to be yourself. Put your-
self out there, meet new
people, and work super
hard.” The secretary Nata-
lia Lance said, “Just go
for it. I was super shy and
I was so afraid to try out,
but I just did it. And it has
been the best experience!”
The Exec council is so
excited for the upcoming
class and all that they are
yet to experience. The So-
cial VP, Summer Stratton
said, “I am so excited to
see what next year's exec
will bring to the school.
This definitely has been
the hardest thing I have
ever done, but the most
rewarding. I can’t imagine
what my life would be
like without it, and it has
made me such a better
person. I love serving the
school and all the stu-
dents.”
So even if the stu-
dents are scared or don’t
think they are good
enough, go out and do it!
They’ll never know what
will happen or come of it.
No matter what the stu-
dents will grow from the
experience and be proud
of themselves for trying
something they never
thought they would be-
fore. The Exec Council
wants to encourage every-
one to try out and get in-
volved. And to wish eve-
ryone that will be running
good luck! They know
you will all do great.

Student Life Upcoming Cheer Tryouts
By Annie Rahde
Cheer tryouts are coming up right around the corner! To start off, they begin March 28th at 3:30
in the main gym. Cheer involves a lot of dedication and commitment. For those who don’t know, cheer-
leading is a yearlong sport. Cheerleading involves cheering for volleyball, football, girls basketball and
boys basketball. School spirit is a must in the cheerleading world! A lot of time is spent on cheerleading
and they do so much to support our team’s/school. Requirements for cheer tryouts include learning a
dance and performing it, learning a cheer and performing it, and making up your own cheer. Tumbling
isn’t required but it helps to make it on the team! “I think girls should do cheer so they can support the
school and teams. I also think it’s really fun and you get really close with the girls!” says senior cheer-
leader Lexxus Dennett. More details about cheerleading tryouts will be posted around the halls and be
available in the front office when the time gets closer!
Broadway Magic
By Tyler Mitchell
Right before spring break, Hurricane High School put on the fundraiser, Broadway Magic. For
those of you who don't know, Broadway Magic is a show that the community puts on to raise money for
Grad Night. There were lots of high school acts that showed the ways of Broadway, and we were so
lucky to see a little bit of each of the live action plays. Noah Humphrey from the Senior group said, “I
loved participating in the dance and it showed what hard work it takes to work, like you are on Broad-
way.” Between the classes, each class had their own individual dance.
Which class had the best dance? Sophomores did a blast from the past. They all dressed up look-
ing like they were from the 70's. They definitely got a gold star for their dress choice. Juniors did a rock
and roll themed dance. They had the best dance out of the highschoolers dances and had a lot of fun pop
to their dance. They ended the dance with Ethan Roberts doing the splits in the air, which really spread
cheers across the audience. The seniors had a great dance too, being dressed in the roaring 20’s age, and
they were very energetic and looked like they were having a good time. All in all, every class rocked
the house and ended Broadway Magic with a bang.

Student Life
1-There's a bat swatter in the library. The librarians and custodians generally try to safely remove them
first, but the bat swatter is a last resort to get bats out of the library.
2-There's a "secret" staircase for staff use only in the library. It's not much of a secret, and kids use it
every once in a while to go downstairs, but you have to have a key to go up the stairs.
3-Several teachers have candy drawers. The list includes Mr. Prince, Mrs. Eves, the librarians... but
don't expect any of them to offer it to you; it's their stash, after all.
4-Have you ever noticed the biggest E at our school? Has anyone else noticed that the windows near
the main entrance look like a giant E? (The windows for Mr. Jones’ room, the computer lab, and room
114.)
5-At least one Sophomore has a locker on the 2nd floor. You know how Seniors have lockers on the
1st floor, Juniors have them on the 2nd floor, and the poor Sophies have them on the 3rd floor? Well, one
of said Sophies has a locker on the 2nd floor because Rebbie was feeling nice.
6-The room being used as a Preschool used to be the Exec. room. The room currently holding a bunch
of 4 and 5 year olds was once where the Exec. Council met and stored items (such as food and that dum-
my they punched during last year's auditions).
7-Cullimore and Mr. Hill have been teaching here the longest. The earliest yearbook we found them in
was 1986. They taught Mrs. Eves and Coach C!
8-Jody's wife is a substitute Seminary teacher. I don't know if she is
this year since she's been studying, but she's subbed for one of my Semi-
nary teachers before.
9-We’re literally right on top of the old football field. Before the
school was remodeled, the football field was in the same place the first
through third floors are today. We also used to have a pool at the high
school, but now the swim team has to go to one of the public pools.
10-If you ever want to thank the man who hired Jody Rich as our
principal, his name is Rob Goulding. Past-Principal Rob Goulding
hired Jody and is the reason he's here today.

The H-Town Football Grind
Peyton Robbings
We are considered the
blue-collar school of Region 9. Is
that an issue? I think
not. Hurricane’s culture is ex-
tremely strong. We are a hard-
working, ground and pound type
of people. The football team is
always on a grind, we get up ear-
ly to condition on the field, and
stay up late watching film and
learning plays. We eat, sleep,
and breathe football. If there is a
home game, the whole town
shuts down to support our team.
This town is unified as one, and
that's what makes hurricane the
best town in Utah.
Hurricane’s football team
is already grinding. Tyler Moore,
Hurricane’s wing, has been go-
ing to the gym 5 days a week for
3 months straight, and he doesn't
plan on stopping. Tyler’s grind
has been paying off. He played
varsity as a Junior, and will more
than likely start as a Senior. Then
there is Jaron Cordova, Hurri-
cane’s Running Back. This kid
never stops. His morning starts at
5AM He gets up and works out
with his personal trainer. He
comes to school and
works out with coach Miller on
B days. After school, he works
out on the field with Jarom Hea-
ley. Then after his workout with
Jarom, he goes home and works
out on his own for an hour to an
hour and a half. Jaron Cordova's
work ethic is the best in Region
9. No one is working harder than
him. Once he has his mind set on
something, he won't stop until he
achieves it.
Hannemann Keaunui is
also an uprising star. He is cur-
rently a freshman, but has al-
ready dressed varsity, and was
our punt returner until he got in-
jured. Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday he grinds at 6am before
school with his mom, and then
on tuesday and thursday, he does
footwork and agility. He also
drinks 3 protein shakes a day.
Our football team this year has a
lot of promise based off of how
everyone is grinding.
With a record of 2-6, the
juniors are trying to turn it
around with hard work and dedi-
cation. They are showing a lot of
promise with all of this time they
are putting in to better them-
selves. It wouldn't surprise me if
Hurricane is one of the best
teams in region 9 for football
next year just based off of the
juniors work ethic. The HHS Football Team

Trending New National Monument
By Ericka Zitting
One of President Obama’s last Executive Orders was to add 2 new national monuments to the
United States list: one in Nevada and one right here in Utah. This new monument park is The Bears Ears
National monument. It is 1.35 million acres in the four corners region. Many Republicans are very upset
about this last order because it adds more federal rule and control of the land. When I asked a conserva-
tive, they said, “I do not appreciate this last order because I do not believe I need to people trying to in-
vade my land and turn it into a tourist mess, also less government the better.”
But when I asked someone with more liberal views, they said, “I think it is great! It brings more
attention to the area for more to enjoy plus it brings money to Utah.” Whether you are for or against the
new monument, is it here to stay. Many I asked did not even know where is was, so for such a beautiful
area, maybe a little more recognition is what it needs.

Current Events It’s Finally Spring Break
By Hannah Walker
Spring break is just around the corner! It starts March 10th and goes until March 20th. Some of us
may plan on just staying inside, watching netflix, and eating all day. But you can only do that for so long
before you go stir crazy!
Make sure to go outside and get your natural vitamin D-3 from the sun. Some fun spring break ideas are:
~Go to Zion! Grab a buddy or two and hike away. It’s fun to go into the wilderness and explore.
~Go on a spontaneous adventure with your friends or even by yourself! Just make sure someone knows
where you are. It can be fun to get away and get some fresh air.
~Spend some time with your family. Go to the grocery store with your mom or go to the hardware store
with your dad. Spend some quality time with your siblings.
~Learn something new! It doesn’t have to be hard, just do something you wouldn’t have thought of doing.
There are hundreds of other ideas out there, but those are some pretty basic ones. Have fun this spring
break!
Zion National Park has some breathtaking views.

Current Events Are You Thirsty?
By Hunter Schiffman
“Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.” (Derek Zoolander).
Here at HHS, we do live in the desert, and what do you need to survive in the desert? Water. We took
the liberty of personally ranking most of the water fountains here in HHS, and the results were rather
expected.
Make sure to go to the For the Love of Music dance to support our music department!
