SUB SHORTAGE CAUSES HEADACHES FOR TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATION BY MOLLY WILSON (‘20) n any given day, students might notice their English teacher covering a math class or history teacher covering a science class. Due to a substitute teacher shortage, it is hard to find subs to cover multiple shifts, and classroom teachers often give up their prepperiods to cover classes. According to assistant principal Scott Carpenter, Granville uses an automated online system that contacts the district-approved subs when teachers apply for days off. In Ohio, substitute teachers must obtain a license, which warrants a bachelor’s degree. However, the degree does not have to be in education. Finding subs is not a problem when teachers apply for a day off prior to needing off. However, last minute requests for time off by teachers can leave their classes without coverage by a substitute teacher. This results in other teachers giving up their planning periods to cover this class. “But sometimes the last minute request is unavoidable, like when they had to spend a long night in the emergency room,” Carpenter said. Often with these last minute absences,substitute teachers are not available to pick

up the job. Carpenter is responsible for making sure every class is covered each morning. He sends out an email messages to teachers when subs are not available asking them to help cover for colleagues. “Our staff is incredible when it comes to covering other teachers! They almost always pitch in to get everything covered,” Carpenter said This position does not go unpaid; when teachers give up their prep period to help cover a class they are paid $19.20. Intervention specialist Ryan Schwaiger often covers classes and enjoys making a little extra money each month. “The extra money is somewhat helpful,

of course,” Schwaiger said. “What motivates me the most is the notion of helping fellow teachers who may, at some point, help me.” However, due to the late notice of these absences, some teachers would prefer not to cover classes. “I don’t mind too much as long as I am not scheduled to collaborate with colleagues, or have special eduaction paperwork to work on,” Schwaiger said. Freshman English teacher No’el Fortner explains that for her, it is difficult to give up her first period planning period to cover classes because she uses the time to plan her entire day of teaching. “I would probably be more inclined to cover classes, but my planning period is first period and I am usually using it to plan my whole day,” Fortner said. The availability of subs is not only related to teachers putting in for days off with late notice: the economy is also a factor, according to Carpenter. “Sub availability is definitely tied to the economy,” Carpenter said. “The unemployment rate is really low currently which means people needing to sub is less prevalent. The better the economy, the fewer subs available.” Lack of benefits for subs and recent retirements due to benefit plans, many school districts are at their lowest levels of subs in decades, according to a report by the School Superintendents Association. Subsitutes are paid $90 a day at Granville. A few years ago, the district increased the subsitute pay rate in order to entice more subsitutes to work for Granville schools.

TEACHER RECOVERING AFTER BASKETBALL INJURY BY MOLLY WILSON (‘20) ealth and sports med teacher Karly Worrall took a hard fall in the seniors vs. faculty basketball game on Friday, Jan 11. Worrall went up to contest a students’ shot. When she was landing, her feet went out from underof her and she landed on her left forearm, according to school nurse Ann Varrasso. She broke her arm in two places and had emergency surgery on Saturday, Jan. 12. Varrasso scrambled onto the court, along with athletic trainer Steve Rose, to treat Worrall. Multiple teachers also stepped up and tried to shield students from seeing her broken arm. The game was stopped and the students were instructed to exit the gym immediately in order to make room for EMS. “Normally in that situation we would splint or stabilize it, elevate, and ice it. But with so many people in the gym we waited for EMS,” Varrasso said.

Behind the Walls

The “systems upon systems” that take place throughout this vast building in order to keep the school running smoothly everyday. BLUEPRINTS PHOTO/JOSIE DECARO

BY JOSIE DECARO (‘19) ehind the walls of the high school are the operations to keep the school running functionally. Maintenance and custodians do a lot to make sure that the school is in perfect shape for the students each day. There is a lot that students don't know about the operations that take place behind closed doors. Small closet doors in hallways, when opened, lead to a long flight of stairs of fascinating and technological hard drives to the heating and cooling of building.

Rooms

In the boiler room in the upper West Wing, there is a mass number of old computers being stored; technically, it is illegal to use a boiler room for storage, said Dan Brock, head of maintenance. Good news, though: the specific system to the boiler room is not connected and disabled, which includes the gas line. Since everything is shut off in the room and disconnected, the high school can get away with storing objects in that room. There is also a video surveillance room that is on the second floor all the way at the end of the hallway, which is not technically “public knowledge.” But there's no way the small TV in Scott Carpenter's office is the only surveillance throughout the whole school. Brock commented that there are units throughout the whole building. “There are hundreds of cameras throughout the building that can be accessed remotely,” he said. Many teachers throughout the school struggle with either having a too cold or too hot of a temperature in the room. The temperature control for each room is controlled through Brock’s phone, where he can see any temperature of any room throughout the whole district. When asked why he even comes into the rooms to change the temperature on the thermostat, he claimed with much humor, “It’s to make them feel better.” Note to teac:ers: Don’t make the head of maintenance mad because he can turn your room temperature to Antarctica without anyone knowing. Brock was very considerate to explain the electronic and voltage usage throughout the school. Brock explained that every classroom has “filters on them so we can actually control how much voltage is going through them in a circuit.” Brock also 6

stated a that the school has “systems upon systems.” It takes quite a bit of knowledge in order to know how to control every aspect that the school needs to run. “In the lower West Wing, we do have a Chamber of Secrets room that some are curious about but it’s just a storage room that was given a name,” said Kevin Kinser, the head custodian of the high school.

Problematic Places

The custodians in our school work very hard with long hours, cleaning up the messes that the student body makes. It takes a lot of dedication to do what the custodians do; it is important to encourage the students to have respect for their belongings and the schools belongings and to help the custodians out a little everyday by cleaning up or picking up messes made. Kinser stated that the hardest place within the school to keep clean is the Commons. “For myself on dayshift I would say keeping the Commons cleaned up during lunches so it’s not a total mess for the next lunch group,” he said. Kinser and other custodians have to work fast in order to clean the commons area so that the students can enjoy their meal in cleanliness one period after another. “Sometimes there isn’t much of a break in between lunch groups to be successful at this. This is one reason why we rely on students to not leave a mess behind as much as possible,” Kinser stated. Along with the Commons, the athletic areas throughout the school such as the gym are hard to maintain. Kinser commented about the difficulties of keeping the athletic areas in tacked, “The athletic areas can also be problematic to maintain as much as you would like just due to the amount of use and finding a time to get in those areas when it’s not being used,” he said. Kinser also commented that there is not specific “problematic area” within the high school. Throughout the whole school depending on the day, different problems may arise in different areas.

At the top of these stairs is located the systems for the controlling heating and cooling throughout that specific area of the school. There are many of these rooms all over the school that control different areas throughout the school.

JUULS ARE DANGEROUS BLUEPRINTS STAFF UULs have become a major problem in the high school with no quick end to the trend in the near future. A student recently told the BluePrints staff, “You can’t really go into the bathroom without seeing a JUULing tournament.” This creates a major problem for the future as big tobacco companies sink their hooks into another generation being addicted to tobacco. The unknown aspect of vaping in general makes these device all the more dangerous because scientists can’t tell you what the wet smoke will do to your body. Although the government is cracking down on loose laws regarding the sales of vaping, the epidemic is continuing to grow. Another reason that kids are getting into the world of e cigarettes are the flavors with regular tobacco the smell and taste is a turnoff for kids but with odorless and tasty pod like strawberry mango and mint, kids are more attracted to the idea of picking one up. Peer pressure is also a major problem concerning JUULs. Students who would have never touched a cigarette are vaping because they view it as a safer and healthier option than smoking. But this isn’t true, and we encourage students to say no when offered because it’s just not worth it. We, as a staff, encourage students to stop JUULing and keep it out of our

BluePrints

school. The addiction continues to grow into younger generation with kids picking up nicotine at younger ages. How long will it be until the doctors say JUULing is the next cause of cancer? The original use of e-cigarettes was for people who needed a way to quit. And this way to help people has been corrupted into a epidemic of students and peer pressure. In fact, in a random polling of students throughout a normal school day, 10 out of 10 students said they had seen or heard of students JUULing during the school day said that they indeed had. The JUUL problem has even extended into the actual classroom, creating an unwanted distraction for teachers and staff, which takes time away from teaching. We believe that with all of the negitive affects,students should avoid the product. We discourage JUULing on and off school property. Those who fine themselves already addicted should seek assistance immediately to prevent futher damages to their body.

ABOUT JASON:

BY JASON REDING (‘19) Standardized testing is just a system of determining whether a student is above or below what is considered average. The recommended scores are derived from various students’ tests, which can be deemed an unreliable measure of student achievement. Schools pride themselves on their standardized test scores, but mostly all improvements made are temporary. These improvements can be affected by simple things like change in curriculum, a non-straightforward question, or even test-takers’ sleep the previous night. The objective scores are inaccurate because they can be so easily affected. Standardized testing forces children to

stare at screens for multiple hours at many sessions at a time. Although they already have problems with staring at smartphones for hours anyway, they have to spend more time on screens even though they do not need to. The blue light that screens produce can generate strain on the eyes after long periods of time, causing students to look away and lose focus. Lastly, standardized testing can be arbitrary to non-native English speakers and children with mild learning disabilities. The terminology used within the questions are meant to confuse students into choosing the wrong conclusion to test their achievement In both of these circumstances the test-taker can lose focus or just simply give up.

Standardized tests are just another gray area in the education system. Some argue that they are beneficial, but they are just another inconvenience to students.

ABOUT ANDY:

Loves all things sports, especially Michigan teams Has a great interest in academics. His mother is math teacher at the high school Watches and plays sports in his free time Considers himself politically conservative

BY ANDY HOBEN (‘20) Admittedly, the standardized testing system is not perfect; however, it is essential in order to decipher the aptitude and knowledge of students in such a large country and to create a baseline of academic achievement for students across all demographics and areas. Standardized tests are made to calculate how much information a student can handle and how they can display this knowledge in a pressurized yet controlled situation. This is a very important part of a students upbringing and holds them accountable for their development. One aspect of this testing that makes it preferable to other methods of evaluation is the objectivity it uses to grade students. Grading systems can varying greatly across different schools and even within them,

making it difficult to truly compare student performance. Standardized testing lessens this problem by providing a summative assessment that can be administered to students based on the curriculum they have covered and rate them without the variable influence of teachers and schools. The other element that makes standardized testing indispensible is the comparability it fosters in the grading system that allows students throughout the country to be given the same questions on the same day and see how they perform. This makes it immeasurably more convenient for different programs, colleges, and other application-dependent organizations to get a read on what the students level of performance is in a pressure situation and how they can retain information.

While standardized testing may cause unwanted stress by students, it is an important part of the school system. Without it, comparing and holding students accountable for their learning would be impossible.

STUDENT VIEWS ON THE NEWS

Have you thanked your bus driver lately? School bus driver Dale Simpson was involved in a collision with a driver during the release of the elementary school. Dale reacted in a safe and orderly way, stopping the bus from crashing and causing harm to the students on board. Information from the police chief said that the crash could have ended much worse if Simpson had not reacted in the way that he did. Simpson is just one of many bus drivers who pass through our lives everyday and go unthanked for the hard work that they do. Senior Jason Reding offers his take on one group of unsung heroes of our district: the bus drivers. BY JASON REDING (‘19) he Granville Exempted Village School District is known for many things: grades, sports and the wonderful small town we are located in. But something many people never think about are the hardworking men and women who drive students to games, field trips and back and forth to school each and every day. The district’s buses travel up to 1500 miles every day, and the bus drivers are the first and last people to see us during the school day. Dale Simpson is one of these people. Dale, who drives bus number 2 for the district, was involved in a collision with a vehicle in between the school dismissal for the elementary and intermediate buildings in December. His quick thinking prevented the accident from being much worse. Superintendent Jeff Brown wrote in an email to the staff: “Dale Simpson, our bus 2 driver, literally saved students’ lives today, He was able to regain control of the bus after being hit. Chief Curtis said that his driving prevented the bus from rolling over. The bus was full at the time. Please join me in thanking Dale and all of our drivers for a job well done today and everyday!” We do not thank our bus drivers often enough for getting us safely to school, something that many of us take for granted. Additionally, school bus drivers build close relationships with us knowing what is happening in the our lives. For example, a bus driver that I had in intermediate school bonded with me over our love for

animals, and we would talk about it every day. This bus driver eventually moved to a different route, but not before leaving me a National Geographic Encyclopedia. Another student grew so close with his bus driver that she made him a pillowcase with his name on it for his birthday. Bus drivers need to have these relationships with students in order to keep the bus under control and a safe area for us to be. We should be thankful for these select few entrusted to deal with us on a daily basis and we should think about this the next time we step on the bus. It is important to thank these people every chance you get. Keep in mind that bus drivers need to act constantly as disciplinarians and leaders as they control the swarms of students. It is nessecary for them to have a lot of training because driving is a dangerous thing in the first place and then you add 30 screaming kids on top of that.When the bus drivers make kids move to the front of the bus, it is for the general saftey of the students. This is an important aspect of their job because they have to focus on the road and drive a massive machine safely while also getting us on and off of the bus in a orderly time fashion so we get home at a reasonable time. We applaud Dale and all the drivers on a job well done this year and every other year. And as a student body, we thank them for putting up with us.

“My bus driver gave me a Christmas present.”

ANDY’S CONSPIRACY SERIES BY ANDY HOBEN (‘20) uly 20, 1969 is a day that has been and will be one of the most important days in the history of the world. It is the day of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission, a breakthrough feat for mankind, as it showed that reaching the stars was possible. However, what if I told you that the original moon landing did not happen at all? These are main points of contention in regards to the moon landing possibly being fake. The photographs are fake: One of the main points that moon landing conspiracy theorists contend is that the images from the moon landing are obviously studio-manufactured and doctored to make it seem as though a moon landing occurred. These people point out that there are visible cross-hairs in the imaging and that some of the lighting is impossible for where the photo was supposedly taken. The flag moved in space: Another main gripe of moon landing truthers hold on to is that the American flag that the astronauts placed on the surface of the moon swayed as if it was in the wind; however, the flag was placed on the moon and therefore in a vacuum where no wind should be present, meaning that the images of the flag were taken on Earth. The US had to create hoax to bolster foreign presence: The United States was a part of two major conflicts during this time, and some people believe that it seems very convenient that the US would suddenly create this technology during this time. The moon landing pushed America ahead in the space race and their standing in the Cold War involving Russia. The US was also involved in Vietnam at this time and conspiracy theorists contend that the moon landings were meant to distract a disgruntled American public. Do I endorse these theories? No. Most of the imaging arguments can be debunked simply by the fact that most of the “doctored” parts of the images were actually common photography practices at the time, and came as a result of some editing for picture clarity, not to create fake images. The flag actually did not move in space; it was already somewhat crunched from its storage on the flight and did not rustle in any sort of space wind after it was placed on the surface, proven by videos taken on the mission. Also, while it may seem like the termination of NASA manned moon missions coincided with the end of the Vietnam War and near the end of the Space Race, in actuality the flight program’s budget decrease was due to the war occuring, not the other way around. In short, while the moon landing and the moon itself have many mysteries, one thing is for certain: the moon landings happened.

STAR SPOTLIGHT: Chloë Mulford BY MOLLY WILSON (‘20) ver the course of four seasons with the girls’ basketball team, Chloë Mulford proved herself as an influential and key member of the team. She is a two-time varsity captain of the team and three-time basketball letterman. “Chloë has grown from an emotional young freshman, into a mentally and physically strong team leader who always brings her best on a daily basis,” girls’ basketball coach Eric Steele said. Chloë looked at schools with strong educational reputations such as Johns Hopkins, Vassar and Dickinson where she could play basketball, but she decided that these schools were not the right fit. “The schools were expensive and Division III schools are unable to provide players with academic scholarships,” Mulford said. Chloë Mulford scores on As her reverse layup against Licking Heights. (PHOTO goal of COURTESY OF JENNIFER playing HILAMAN) college basketball came to an end, a different goal began. Mulford’s dad read an article about the rowing program at Ohio State University and encouraged Chloë to fill out a recruiting questionnaire. “I thought ‘why not?’ So I did,” Mulford said. Despite her inexperience in rowing Mulford was offered a position on the novice rowing roster. “Her toughness and versatility led her into the opportunity to row at OSU and I am both excited for her and extremely proud of her,” Steele said. Mulford is excited to continue competing in college and is looking forward to be apart of something that comes with such a good reputation. “I have always been an athlete and a lot of my identity is rooted in the fact that I am an athlete,” Mulford said.

Clemson has surpassed Alabama as football’s dynasty As anyone who has watched college football in the last five years knows, Clemson and Alabama have been heads and shoulders above the rest in just about every way, each making the College Football Playoff in every year except one and meeting up in the national championship game four times, splitting the matchups 2-2. However, though Alabama has had just about as dominant a run as any team across any sport over the course of the last ten years, winning five national championships, the championship game this January showed that it is now the Clemson Tigers’ turn to reign atop the college football throne. They thrashed the Crimson Tide, winning by a score of 44-14, while being led by two freshman, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and receiver Justyn Ross, showing that this success for Clemson will not let up anytime soon.

Michigan, not Duke, is college basketball’s true #1

Duke University is and has been the flashiest, most polarizing team over the last few decades of college basketball, winning national championships and producing a plethora of first-round picks under legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. Their current squad is one of their most talented yet, led by freshman Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish, all of whom are projected top-5 picks in the 2019 draft; however, there is one team in college basketball who just might be even BETTER than this loaded squad. That would be Michigan, led by the revered offensive genius John Beilein, who is 17-0 and just behind Duke in the polls at #2 in the country, but has the championship experience and depth to take on just about any other team come tournament time and pick them apart. Led by the tough game of junior guard Zavier Simpson, look for the Wolverines to make another deep March run and challenge Duke for the top team in the country.

HOBIE’S HOT TAKES BY ANDY HOBEN (‘20)

James Harden is bad for the game of basketball

The reigning MVP and leading scorer in the league, affectionately called “The Beard” because of his propensity for large facial hair, the lefty slasher and sharpshooter that is taking the NBA by storm: James Harden, the Houston Rockets star, is both a blessing and a curse for basketball. While his strengths are plentiful and obvious, his detractors are also apparent and may have an more far-reaching impact on the game overall. Harden has essentially found every bend or break in the rules of basketball and used it to his advantage. His game is predicated on blatant travels on his way to the basket or to double (or triple) step-back jumpers, getting touchy and/or non-existent foul calls that have led to him being the most prolific free-throw shooter of all time, and most of all playing a type of defense that can only be described as “Hardenesque,” which isn’t a good thing. Harden may be one of the NBA’s best ever, but at times he uses his talent in a way that only will create bad habits and a false sense of production to those watching.

The Blue Aces boys’ team is the best in the last decade

While there has been a lot of talent to come through Granville in recent years under coach Adam Teeters, one thing that has eluded the Blue Aces for the last decade has been a district final appearance, as Cory Becher and Miles Clark’s 2009 squad was the last team to even make that round of the playoffs (Granville has not won districts outright since 1985). However, this 2018-19 Granville squad may have what it takes to reach the promised land. Equipped with senior leadership down low in Ben Blanchard and Cam Crouch, as well as the athletic defensive prowess of junior Brody Bitters and the sharpshooting of Brody Ley, the real key for Aces may be the backcourt. Juniors Jake Stone and Dominic Varrasso each have their own games; Stone is more of a rangy pull-up player while Varrasso is a slasher and tough finisher in the paint. However, for Granville to hang with the big boys in Division II, their guard defense must be superb, and the juniors manning the backcourt for the Aces are up to the challenge. Also key for the Aces will be the bench play of sophomores Jaden Rudder and Will Skerbetz, who have been entrusted with igniting the offense in key spots throughout the season.

FIELD OF DREAMS: COMMUNITY HOPES FOR A NEW STADIUM BY ANDY HOBEN (‘20) f you take a look around the schools in central Ohio, you will see a wide variety of building and facility quality depending on the amount of money to spend on new amenities and upkeep. One feature of a school that generally portrays its ability and priority to spend money on facilities is if it has a football stadium with synthetic turf because of the fact that these said expenditures cost millions of dollars. For example, in the Licking County League alone there are four schools currently with football stadiums, with a fifth, Heath, planning on building one in 2019. Granville, typically a very high achieving school both academically and athletically and one that has the highest average income of any school district in the county, still does not have a football stadium. The grass playing surface that the Blue Aces football program plays on up to five times a week across various age levels takes a constant beating during the season and, if the football season is particularly wet because of rain, the field can become completely unplayable by season’s end, something that actually happened during the 2018 season and forced the football team to move their home playoff game to White Field in Newark. In short, Granville’s football field and stadium, which infamously still has wooden stands, is outdated compared to other teams in the district, and this has caused many players, fans, and coaches alike to be wishful of a new football facility in the coming years.

Granville coach Justin Buttermore comes from Tri-Valley, a school that installed turf and renovated their facilities within the last 15 years while he was head coach there. He is one of the proponents of a new stadium at Granville, something that he believes is necessary for the Blue Aces to keep up with the other teams in the area not only in football, but also across every sport that would be able to play on this durable and multi-use surface. “At Tri-Valley, we did a turf project. Our old field was grass and was always heavily damaged because it sat down, kind of like our field at Granville does, so when you got bad weather the rain sat there for a long time,” Buttermore said. He says that it was an all-hands on deck effort. “I think it was community based,” Buttermore said. “I think a lot of people saw that our facilities were not what our players deserved, and we saw an opportunity for improvement. We were having some success, so we had an opportunity to approach some private donors, but ultimately it was the brainchild of our booster club.” While the future turf and stadium facility projects could be done separately, Buttermore doesn’t think Granville should settle for just fixing the field, given the shape of our outdated wooden stands. “I think the bottom line is that it needs to be a full stadium project,” Buttermore said. “Our stands need redone, our track isn’t in the best shape. I think if we are going to make improvements, it should be

in all areas.” In a potential stadium, there is a lot of room for cool new features that would greatly improve the practice and game day experiences of the players, fans and coaches. “I think it only makes sense to upgrade your locker room facilities as well,” Buttermore said. “I would say doing the stadium with locker rooms attached would be my option to build in to the project.” “I would like to see a nice turf surface to play on, I think that would be the biggest thing for me,” junior football player Bo Buttermore said. “We had to move our playoff game this year because we didn’t want the muddy field to dictate the outcome, and if we had our own it wouldn’t be a problem.” “We need new stands,” varsity placeholder Mitch Kunar said. “This program is bringing in a new crowd of eager fans, and just for the parents, too, because they make everything happen.” “I think a new stadium would help for every sport, like soccer, who also plays in the fall,” Granville midfielder Owen Pirieu explained. “In soccer, if our field is in bad shape then we have to play on the football field anyway, and it’s a different type of surface, so having turf would be ideal.” Even from a spectator’s perspective, the positives that a new stadium would bring are very apparent. “You have to take all things into consideration in my opinion, like storage, and a new track,” study hall teacher and longtime Granville resident Tiera Cramer said. “I think one thing that would be great is to be able to stand all the way around the stadium, because I know that a lot of people like to stand and that is difficult right now. Another thing is restroom access, because as of right now the one women’s restroom that is supposed to handle the home and away fans only has two stalls, and I think that is a big issue.” “All in all, I think it really just comes down to safety and convenience,” lacrosse player Ethan Ramsey said. “The stands are really shaky, and the field is torn apart and is a pain to repair and play on.” “I think a new stadium would be a great way for the community to come together and do something that would actually be useful for everyone, and also bring excitement to the players.”

BLUE ACE WINTER SPORTS REPORT

BY BLUEPRINTS STAFF BOYS’ BASKETBALL Boys’ varsity basketball starts off the season with a record of 7-2. The first loss of the season was against Chillicothe, 38-40. The boys continued on with a five-win streak and then lost against Groveport-Madison only by one point (40-39). “Great effort to pull out the victory on the road,” said head coach Adam Teeters after a win against Licking Heights with the score of 66-44. Granville then secured a huge double-overtime home victory against Johnstown, made possible by a game-tying buzzer beater by junior Brody Ley to send the game to overtime. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball season is still ongoing, with their next game being against Licking Valley at home on January 26. So far, their record is ten wins and two losses, with one significant loss against Lakewood. One notable player on the team is post Chloe Mulford, who, in her best game, scored a total of 22 points. The season will come to a close in February. BOWLING 14

UPSTREAM PADDLE Junior Faith Blankemeyer shares her adventures on a six week canoe trip

BY SARAH CARPENTER (‘20) ome people may go the entirety of their lives without seeing the Northern Lights, bald eagles or moose; however, junior Faith Blankemeyer was able to view all of this and more within the short time span of six weeks. During the summer of 2018, Blankemeyer had the opportunity to go on an adventure that was unlike any other: a six-week, 1,000 mile long canoe trip. The trip started at Pickle Lake, a small lake in Ontario, Canada, and went all the way north to Peauanuck, Canada. They travled this far north in hopes that they would be able to view spectacular sights. In order to reach their destination as quickly as possible, Blankemeyer stated that they ran on specific schedules. “In the morning, the staff would wake us up at six, and immediately you have to get out of your sleeping bags,” stated Blankemeyer. “This was one of the hardest parts of the day. After a night of gathering up your heat into a thin layer of blankets, you would have to get out into the cold of the morning.” The next tasks that were on the schedule were preparing for the long journey ahead, which include packing all belongings as tightly as possible and then “tumping” them. “‘Tumping’ is the act of tying two duffels together with a long leather strap, into different types of knots,” Blankemeyer explained. After all of the prep work, the actual journey in the canoes began. “The next step is paddling your canoe down the river. You learn to enjoy the feeling of your paddle dipping seamlessly into the water, and pulling up to propel the canoe forward. After doing it so much, it becomes a second nature.”

Faith’s Tips for Surviving the Wilderness Tip 1: If you stumble across a bear, start to clap and it will go away. Tip 2: Always pick out a campsite that has moss, it’s the best place to sleep. Tip 3: Don’t wear a hat while portaging, you’ll regret it. Tip 4: Bring extra food like Cliff Bars or some type of desert from the night before in your backpack. It’ll be your saving grace.

During her traveling, Blankemeyer had the chance to experience Canadian wildlife first-hand. “We saw around 350 eagles, two bears and seven moose,” Blankemeyer recalled. “It was amazing because these are animals you typically would never see except in a zoo.” Blankemeyer was also able to view many spectacular scenes during her voyage north. One sight that stands out is the limestone cliffs in Peauanuck. “When we reached the long-awaited limestone cliffs, we stopped to take pictures and admire the heights and beauty that they had to offer,” Blankemeyer stated. Though the journey held some spectacular sights, it did have its share of struggles and hardships to overcome. “My worst memory from the trip was probably swimming in skeg,” Blankemeyer said. “After a hard day of portaging, we were disgustingly smelly so the staff made us take a bath in the pond that our camp was next to. However, that pond was only skeg. Basically no water, at all. Skeg is basically animal dung, decomposing plant and dead animals mixed into a thick mud.” After enduring all of the hardships, Blankemeyer said that

seeing the Northern Lights truly made the trip worth it. “Long tails of Northern Lights danced and twirled above us,” Blankemeyer recalled. “Nothing can compare to this experience. Once I saw the long line of glittering lights, my breath was taken away.” Through all the challenges and struggles, as well as the high points of the trip, Blankemeyer states that every single thing she did on the trip was memorable, and that it was one of the best experiences of her life. “I learned my strength in my physical body and mentally how much the body can stretch. There were incredibly difficult times but in the end, it was a satisfying feeling to know that I could do a trip like that by myself.”

“Once I saw the long line of glittering lights, my breath was taken away.”

MUSIC DEPARTMENT BY THE NUMBERS BY MICAH ORGAN (‘19) he arts are an important aspect to Granville High School. Between the music department, the drama department and the visual arts department, the arts are abundant and thriving at GHS. The most visible arts department, at least during the recently-finished holiday season, is the music department. Out of all of the arts departments, the music department has the most branches within it. Therefore, for the students who are not involved in the music department, it can seem like a thoroughly confusing and almost scary concept. The purpose of this handy guide is to break down the music department into easy-to-understand numbers. music students in total.

These students have to split their time between whichever music programs they are involved in during inschool rehearsals and go to any performances for both of their music groups. students who have music-related independent studies. There are a few students here at GHS who choose to pursue school-related musical endeavors outside of regular music classes or extracurriculars. While there are only a few students who fall into this category, independent studies take up a lot of time, especially in addition to music lessons that take place in extracurriculars or regular classes. For independent studies, students have to take on extra assignments and do extra performances outside of the school day. For example, senior Emily Cromwell has independent studies “in Music Composition, and in Music Education.” Her Music Education independent study involves “helping teach orchestra to the intermediate schoolers.”
