75th Anniversary

By Brendan Everson n the 2010-2011 school year, Pattonville High School has seen the least amount of tardies since data started getting collected in the 2007-2008 school year. Through April, there have been 3,802 tardies recorded compared to 8,880 in the 2007-2008 school year. According to Assistant Principal Luke Lammers, that stark difference may be attributed to this year’s newly implemented policy ‘Walk and Talk.’ “From day one we have bombarded students and staff with ‘Walk and Talk’ and ‘Stay to the Right,’� Lammers said. When compared to the 2007-2008 school year, the year with the most recorded tardies, student tardies have dropped by 5,072 in 2010-2011. In 2010-2011, Pattonville began the Pirate Code designed to use data to identify student behaviors that needed improvement. Students were taught how to avoid tardies by

“walking and talking� and “staying to the right.� Students were recognized and rewarded for exhibiting positive behaviors related to getting to class on time. When data was first collected by Pattonville High School, teachers kept track of tardies and wrote referrals when students reached four tardies or more. Tardies began to decrease in the 2008-2009 school year when principals became responsible of tracking tardies. According to data released by Pattonville High School, “In 20082009, principals began screening for tardies and assigning disciplinary consequences once students reached four tardies to a given class.� That policy continued in the 20092010 school year. In 2009-2010, only 211 less tardies occurred. In an effort to reduce tardies even more, ‘Walk and Talk’ was created. The committee for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) focuses on teaching what is right before offenses happen instead of disciplining students after they do wrong.

The most obvious one is being unable to walk at the graduation ceremony. “Also, students will have to go to summer school or come back for another semester,â€? Principal Sara Keene said. “No matter what, they will have to delay their future endeavors.â€? It has been difficult to meet the requirements for graduation at Pattonville for some students due to earning all of their necessary credits. In fact, there are “required electivesâ€? that tend to mess with students schedules. Students are required to take Personal Finance, either Debate or Oral Communication, either Child Development or Parenting, and Health. “Starting freshman year, I wanted to take five core classes, along with French and band,â€? said senior Khalil Griffin. “In order to meet graduation requirements, I was forced to drop band and French this year to take my required electives.â€?

In addition, senior Casey Dial had her schedule disrupted when she was an exchange student in Germany. “As a result, I had to have my schedule changed after I got back,� said Dial. Once a teacher knows that a student is on the bubble, they will do everything they can to help students get caught up. “After spring break, we email counselors lists of all students who are at risk of failing,� English teacher Gay Ryan said. Usually the process involves the student’s parents. If the student is a Special School District student, their case managers are also contacted. “In addition, I always put an emphasis on final projects,� Ryan said. “They are often worth more points than other assignments in the semester, so they can bring grades from failing up to a D at least.� Bubble seniors have little time left to be able to graduate. Their best remaining chance at passing is to do well on the final exams which begin May 24. Y

s the school year draws to a close, many seniors are looking forward to graduation. However, in order for this to happen, students need 24 credits and 50 hours of community service. Some seniors are still short of meeting these benchmarks, which will delay their graduation. These students, referred to as being ‘on the bubble,’ are actually few in number. On average, there are 8 out of 400 seniors who fail to graduate each year. Most of the time, seniors end up on the bubble because they did not have enough credit going into Grading Period 6. “There is no exact percentage available because things change too much to take an accurate figure,� counselor Carolyn Niederkorn said. “A student that looks like he or she will fail is often able to turn it around thanks to end-of-the-year projects that are

he varsity girls’ soccer team might have thought it was greatly affected after graduating seven girls

and losing two starters from last year. But on May 17, the girls played the first round of Districts against Hazelwood Central. One goal the team accomplished for itself is winning the District title for the third year in a row. Head coach Tom Iffrig and the team set many goals at the beginning of the season and are working to accomplish them.

“We wanted to win conference, which we already have, win District champions and then make it back to the Final 4,� Iffrig said. Many of the girls who have returned this season bring their previous experience to the field which includes a State runner-up title in 2010. “The beginning of the season was a little rough for us. We’ve been losing games that we shouldn’t have been losing,� sophomore Erin Collier said. After losing so many key players, many of the girls had to step up this season. Juniors Kailey Utley and Mikala McGhee are two of the four team captains. “Kailey really helps us when we want our goals and when Mikala does her throw-ins she gets the ball where it needs to be,� Collier said. McGhee is known as a strong motivator. “Mikala is always giving everyone tips during the game and keeps every-

one upbeat and energetic,â€? junior Kacie Hulse said. The team has a strong bond. One of their greatest advantages is their communication with each other. “Those girls get along really well.

attonville varsity baseball finished the year with a record of 18-6 and was Suburban North Conference champs. With the title on the line, the Pirates had to win the game on May 5. “We had to win against Hazelwood Central to win in our conference,� senior Brad Ridings said. “That was a huge win for us.� This is the 17th Suburban North Conference title for Pattonville and the 8th championship since 2000. The season this year was a success with 14 seniors on the team and all players playing a huge part in making the season what it was. “The team worked well with each other,� head varsity baseball coach Mark Hahn said. “There were 14 seniors on the team that knew what it took to win games. All the players supported each other and pushed one another to succeed.� The win over Hazelwood Central put Pattonville in the District tournament. “The first District game [against Parkway Central] was my favorite game this year,� senior Jimmy Benoist said. “We won after 11 innings with a score of 3-2.�

After winning its first game, the Pirates advanced to the next round to play Francis Howell North. After a difficult and intense game, the boys ended up losing 4-2. “The team never gave up. They worked hard until they very end,� Hahn said. This was a good year for the Pattonville baseball organization. Next year, the team returns four

fter a season full of many injuries, varsity boys’ volleyball did not do as well as it hoped. The team pulled through until the end with its positive mindset though. “Dan Johnson was always encouraging,� senior Chris Guzdial said. “Even if we were down he still stayed positive to push us and bring us up.� Health was an issue for the volleyball team. During the season, “our team was pretty banged up. Most of the team got hurt in some way,� senior Dan Johnson said. But they did not let this affect their playing. Most of the athletes played through their injuries. Johnson and Guzdial both rolled their ankles. Senior Billy Schultz and junior Mark Bozada also had injuries throughout the season. This gave students like junior Quincy Usry a chance to step up and play on varsity during Districts. “I got to play a lot and I got along well with everyone, so it was pretty fun,� Usry said. This helped him determine a lot of what he needed to work on for next season. “I need to work on passing for sure,� Usry said. Usry is not the only one who is looking to improve for next season. “We need to start working better together as a team,� Guzdial said. The players all enjoyed playing with each other, but when it came to being on the court, they did not communicate very well. “The team has got to learn how to play till the end of the game, we can’t

just quit after 15 points,â€? Johnson said. Players will need to fill the voids left by this season’s leaders which include senior Max Browne and Johnson, Underclassmen Bozada and junior Sam Decker will take their roles next year and be the voice of the team. “Both Sam 6HQLRU 5\DQ 6KDHIIHU WDNHV WKH VHW IURP KLV WHDPPDWH and Mark are DQG VSLNHV WKH EDOO DJDLQVW WKH 3LUDWHV¡ RSSRQHQW 3KRWR very talkative FRXUWHV\ RI .HOOH\ 0H\HUV and good at communicating “Next season everyone is comwith the team,â€?

Pattonville School District has a rich history and its journalism program is no different. Starting with the Schola 75 years ago, the paper changed to the Chatter Box Newsletter, and then came back to the Schola. Eventually the title of the newspaper settled on The Pirate Press, a name the paper still faithfully uses decades later.

arped Tour. To some, it’s just another day in the humid St. Louis weather. But to others it is the focal point of our teen years. They brave heat, sunburn, and the fury of a thousand mosh-pits to see a show they hope to never forget. But, when your Warped schedule has a few holes in it, here are a few bands you should keep your eye out for. Put on your slipons and stretch out a little bit, because Big D and the Kids Table is exactly who you want to see if you are a diehard ska junkie. For those who aren’t familiar with the art of ska, it is a genre that consists mainly of upbeat guitar and horn sections. Big D and the Kids Table have mastered this delicate art, and deliver explosive shows and a vibe that remains unmatched by any ska band to this date. For the ska scene in St. Louis, this is heaven considering last year Big D and the Kids Table were on the Warped lineup, but simply didn’t play at St. Louis with a large portion of other ska bands following the same footsteps. Being a man of the ska scene, I feel obligated to introduce one of my personal favorites on the lineup: Less Than Jake. Now, what separates Less Than Jake from Big D and the Kids Table is pretty

simple. Less Than Jake has an explosive way of getting the kids to have fun. Instead of Big D and the Kids Table’s oft political lyrics and more serious lyrics, Less Than Jake provides quality music that you just have fun listening to. An example of this is the TV/EP, which includes covers of everything from the Scooby Doo theme song, the Toys R Us Kids song, to those catchy Freecreditreport. com commercial jingles! I’ve personally seen Less Than Jake on multiple occasions, and I believe it is safe to say that this is one band you want to go out of your way to see. If ska isn’t your groove, and maybe you’re feeling a little bit of hiphop, then check out MC Lars with Weerd Science. Now, MC Lars isn’t your typical rap artist. The factor that sets him apart from most rap artists is that he studied English at Stanford University and Oxford University. He later would move on to join the “nerd-core rap� scene with others such as MC Chris and MC Frontalot. MC Lars’ music is often sophisticated, humorous, and pretty catchy if you give it the shot it deserves. Remember, you can always view the Warped Tour lineup at vanswarpedtour.com. There will be tons of bands, merchandise tables, and good times to occupy your day. Don’t forget the sun-screen though, the only thing more powerful than the music is the unforgiving sun. ™

oul Surfer, which premiered on April 8, is a movie based on the true story of a girl named Bethany Hamilton. Hamilton started surfing when she was 3 years old and entered her first surf competition at age eight winning both the short and long board divisions. On Halloween morning in 2003, Hamilton, 13, was bitten

by a 14-foot tiger shark when she was surfing with her friends near Tunnels Beach. With immediate medical assistance, her life was saved after losing more than 60 percent of her blood but she lost her left arm. Since surfing was her passion, Hamilton had the motivation to get back in the water quickly. Just one month after the attack, she was back to surfing. Her goal was to become a professional surfer with only one arm and to win competitions. Just one year after the ac-

cident, Hamilton won her first National Title and turned pro in 2007. Throughout the whole movie, especially when Hamilton (Anna Sophia Robb) was recovering in the hospital, her family displays a very spiritual connection with God. The plot is very emotional but predictable at specific times. The actors portray the story well starring Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid as Hamilton’s parents and Carrie Underwood as her church counselor. The background music also provided a dramatic setting for the movie. Soul Sufer is rated PG for some material that may not be suitable for children. It features an intense sequence during Hamilton’s accident and some thematic material. In my opinion, the movie deserves a 9.5 out of a 10-point rating system The only main problem of the movie is that the plot is only suspenseful during the moment the shark bites Hamilton’s left arm. Other than that, the movie is great and portrays Hamilton’s life story very accurately. So swim and surf into the summer season with Soul Surfer. ™

oward the end of second semester, specifically the last few weeks of school, everyone gets agitated. Students are done, teachers are done, and everyone just wants school to be over. Naturally, people are going to get snippy with each other. I completely understand, I feel the same way. However, there is a fine line that shouldn’t be crossed. This line is being crossed increasingly. Teachers need to stop riding students. At the end of the year, I’d expect students to be annoying each other. This time around though, it is the teachers that are badgering the students. I have noticed that a lot of teachers are nagging on students. Teachers go on and on about how seniors are graduating and moving on to postsecondary education but when teachers start talking about how a student is failing and will not graduate during class, it is not right. Teachers need to be supporting and encouraging students to achieve passing grades; not embarrassing them in front of their peers. And the rumor-drama is worse than High School Musical. Students talking about other students is

whatever, but teachers talking about students in front of other students is not cool. At this time of year, students need more encouragement to help them get by. Seniors, especially, need help as ‘senioritis’ is in full swing. Every day I am infuriated by teachers that are not supportive. It’s one thing to joke and use sarcasm with students, but when humor is not involved, it’s childish. Many teachers are always dead serious. There aren’t any underlying winks or chuckles to indicate a joke. No, these teachers bite hard and don’t let go until they taste blood. Many underclass students are catching an early case of ‘senioritis’ around this time of the year, which is normal. However, these students need encouragement as well. Teachers are riding students about working harder and not slacking off. This is not the right approach. I understand tough love, but there’s a time for it, and now is not that time. Right now, students need to know that they can count on their teachers to help them make it. To me, it’s getting harder and harder to find those teachers. ™

efore I leave this school, I feel I should address something that is still an issue, even though it shouldn’t be. The goal is that I accomplish this without sounding like a Pirate Code video. High School is a unique and deeply transformative experience in the lives of almost all American teens. It takes a bunch of moody insecure human beings from all different walks of life, all of which are trying to figure out where they belong, and tosses them all into a confined building for hours on end, day after day. It sounds like a sick and twisted psychology experiment, and often that’s what it feels like. In some ways it’s fantastic for us. America is a melting pot and going to high school with a diverse and interesting population of kids is an amazing experience, one that makes most of us more accepting of others. Yet high school leads to an indulgence of one of the strongest human instincts - the forming of distinct, exclusive group identities. The band kids, the

sporty kids, the partiers, the art kids, the gifted kids, the anime kids; the list is an infinite one. Teenagers, and humans for that matter, have an unstoppable need to label themselves and others. When I was much younger, my best friend was my mom’s best friend’s son. That was back in the day, where that sweet wool of childhood innocence was over our eyes and we saw the world in a more pure way. We didn’t judge anyone - they were just another kid on the playground. Christopher Osbourne and I were close for years, until we were around 15 or 16. We lived a fair distance away, attended different schools, had vastly different groups of friends. Socially, we each ended up developing wildly different lifestyles. We slowly grew apart, as a lot of friends do. But we didn’t have to, and that’s what eats away at me the most. I judged him for his long hair and his gothic clothes and chains, he judged me for my preppy attire and the way I acted, even though both of us hadn’t really changed underneath.

The fact that I haven’t talked to Chris since I was 16 and won’t ever get another chance to is something I will never get over. Last October, I got a call from my mom when I was on my way home from work. At first nothing she said really registered. The truck came on so fast. He didn’t feel a thing. Chris was dead, sitting passenger in a car that no longer had a passenger side. The feeling was a strange hodgepodge of regret and loss and sadness and anger at myself with a nice mix of numbness to top it off. The worst part was we grew apart because neither of us were mature enough to look past the groups we identified with and now neither of us could say goodbye. The memorial was held the next night at a house I was unfamiliar with and filled with people I’d never met in my life. It struck me that Chris had a whole life, a whole family of friends that loved him. I felt out of place, an imposter. What right did I have to be there? None of his

friends had ever met me. I didn’t dress like them and I didn’t act like them. How could I claim to care about Chris Osbourne? Chris and his friends were what a lot of people would call social outcasts, yet at the memorial, I was the outcast. They were the kids most kids judge and make fun of to feel better about themselves. This was a group of kids who cared deeply for each other, and I realized that this was rare for Pattonville. At our high school, there tends to be a lot of fake relationships based on labels and superficial groups. I made my way to the bonfire in the back, where everyone began to circle. They had all written letters to Chris that they read aloud and tossed into the fire. As each of these kids threw their letters in the fire, I began to see each of these quirky teens as a unique human with memories and feelings, and I found myself casting away the judgment I had had when I first met them. I didn’t bring a letter, but I said what I wanted to. Afterward, I got to know Chris’ friends,

With November’s passing of Proposition K, a new football stadium will be built along with a natatorium on the campus of Pattonville High School. The construction will begin this summer with a groundbreaking scheduled for May 31 at 6:30 p.m. When all the football games are away, students will not feel comfortable at “homeâ€? games. Those games are not exactly at our home field. It is the little things that make Patton-

O

ville Pirate Nation. Another problem students will have with “home� football games is the distance required to travel. Every student has their route to the high school that is perfectly timed, and they know when exactly to leave from their initial location. The problem with moving home games is no one wants to drive where they are not welcomed. The atmosphere at every away stadium is different. Football players have adapted to the askew football field, along with its many ditches. Behind one of the goal posts is the track where future Pirates are found socializing and supporting the team. Getting told by the school resource officers and administrators to evacu-

ate the walking paths is somewhat of a right of passage to these students. Students remember pep rallies, football games and other events hosted at the stadium. They remember the cheering and the booing. It’s not just a place where games are held. It is a place that generations of Pirates have made memories. It has already been established that Homecoming 2011 will not be at Pattonville and that has already been discussed between administrators, but one thing that students are concerned about is Spirit Week. Usually, the Homecoming assembly is held at the football stadium. Next year, the assembly will be in the gym. This means the events usually held for students, like pie eating, will be changed.

´

and they got to know me. I saw something that night that changed the way I looked at everyone, especially at Pattonville. In his death, Chris taught me a lesson that I’ll never forget, and in the end he was a better friend than me for it. So whether it’s the kid rapping at the top of his lungs as he slowly swags down the hallway, or it’s the freshman with the backpack with the wheels who sprints down the hallway like a frightened squirrel, don’t be quick to judge. Laugh about it, befriend them; turn on the part of your brain that tries to relate, to understand. They’ve gone through a lot of what you have, and no doubt have some interesting stories to tell. You’re spending four years in this high school with all these strange people, and trust me, you’re better off spending it appreciating your peers than judging them. It’ll make people more like you, and you’ll be happier for it. ™

Another use of the football stadium is the track. The Pattonville track and field team warms up as an entire team at every practice. The track team will have to move their practices off the track and perhaps be practicing at a middle school. The completion date of the stadium is set for August 2012 which will mean that no events will be hosted at the stadium during the 2011-2012 school year. ™
