From the Editors

A

s the school year comes to a close, we can all agree that summer is the only thing on our minds.

With spring break, prom and graduation quickly approaching, school is just becoming more and more of a struggle. Having to stay positive about coming to school everyday is a struggle.

However, the recent Southern Interscholastic Press Association (SIPA) convention has refreshed us as a staff. After being able to bond as a staff and learn more about scholastic journalism over the course of the first weekend in March, we are ready to go out with a bang with this Spring issue.

Senioritis has officially hit us and we couldn’t be more excited to graduate, but lately we have been reflecting back on our time here at Dutch Fork. As seniors, we have seen and gone through a lot in the past four years. Luckily, we’ve had more positive than negative experiences. Coming into high school as scared freshmen, but leaving high

school as outgoing seniors who are editors of the school’s newspaper has been a huge change for both of us.

However, this is more of a time to reflect for us. Being seniors, we cannot believe we merely have a couple of months left as high school students.

These four years have gone by so fast, and we know many of our fellow seniors can agree.

We have seen our classmates grow and become exactly who they planned to be. Some athletes signed to play at the colleges of their dreams and other students have volunteered for national campaigns during the election season and have voted for the very first time.

This school year has been crazy, but it’s also been one of the best years of our lives. As the school year is wrapping up, we hope you will take time, too, to reflect on the school year and all that you have accomplished.

FIRST IN THE SOUTH

Students vote in South Carolina primaries Story and photo by Maddie Mason

Senior Abby Beauregard participates in a rally for Hillary Clinton before CNN’s Democratic Town Hall on February 23rd.

T

he South Carolina D e m o c r a t i c and Republican primaries took place in February. This year, many students had the chance to vote for the candidate that they believe will be the best fit as President of the United States.

Regardless of whether or not they could vote, many students decided to get involved with campaigns locally.

"I've been working as a fellow, which is basically an intern, on the Hillary Clinton campaign since June,” senior Abby Beauregard said. “My job entails phone banking, door-to-door canvassing, and doing whatever

needed to be done around the office.”

South Carolina’s primaries are open, which means that voters from either party can participate. However, one can only vote once and must have registered by the deadline, which was 31 days before the party’s primary in which they intended to vote.

"First and foremost, vote. Potential voters can register at scvotes.org, and it takes less than five minutes,” senior Carly McGregor said. “Voter turnout in South Carolina is pretty low, so help a friend register, too.

"It's important that people clearly understand

04 | www.foxfusion.org | NEWS

their options,” Carly said, “and vote for the candidate with whom their beliefs most closely align.”

If people don’t vote, there is no way for their voices and opinions to be heard by the government on a national level.

“When people don’t vote, the people who do vote have their voices respected,” social studies teacher Molly Dawson said.

“Historically if there are entire chunks of the population that are left out then all of the policies in government are skewed towards those who do vote.”

In addition to voting, students can get

involved in campaigns by taking action in the form of phone banking, canvassing, and registering people to vote.

“People can get involved by going to our national website, www. students4trump.com, and applying to join our coalition,” junior and South Carolina Students for Trump President Alex Chalgren said, “or they can go directly to a campaign office and see how they wish to use their services.”

Whether or not students decide to take action, it is important for all who are eligible to get out and vote, after

choosing their candidate wisely.

“I originally liked a lot of [republican nominee Ben Carson’s] standpoints such as the flat tax,” senior Kevin Gagnon said. “However, learning more about him and the stances of other candidates I realized I align more with other candidates.”

Researching a candidate could be as easy as browsing political and news websites or taking the non-partisan isidewith.com quiz. No matter how one decides to do it, getting informed is easy and makes a big difference when voters step into the booth.

Bernie SANDERS Received 26 percent of the vote and 14 delegates in the South Carolina primary

“I think it would be great if people would become educated and look at all the stances of candidates so they can then honestly tell people why they support their candidate,” senior Anna Wolverton said. “I think it's most important that everyone individually is knowledgeable.”

After doing research, two candidates that seem similar may have different stances on issues that directly matter to students.

"Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have similar platforms, but I support Bernie because he's been solid on his positions for much longer

than Hillary has," Carly said. "He's been fighting for racial equality and defending the LGBT community for decades, so I know his stances won't be swayed by what is considered popular to believe in."

No matter who wins at the end of the night, balancing school work and political involvement is no easy feat.

"Campaign work is exhausting but it's extremely rewarding when your candidate wins," Abby said, "Election night was an incredible experience and I feel so fortunate I was there to help witness history."

How do I register to vote?

Go online to scvotes.org and register there. You’ll need to have a driver’s license or official state ID and your Social Security number.

What’s a delegate?

A delegate in chosen by the party to represent an area at the national convention. To be a delegate, you must have voted in the primary. Check with the state parties for more information on how to become a delegate.

What’s a superdelegate?

For Democrats, a superdelegate is someone chosen on a local level by the national party instead of the local party.

Who should I vote for?

Movement struggles for validation Story and design by Abby Beauregard, Maddie Mason, Lindsay Long, and Robert Sawyer • photo by Robert Sawyer

A

fter the fatal shooting of Ferguson, Mo. teenager Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson, the Black Lives Matter campaign caught fire.

“I think most of the controversy is surrounding people who don’t understand it. Its meaning is completely lost on some people,” junior Zakiya Austin said. “It’s not glorifying black supremacy; it’s just giving the voice to those who have been silenced for years. It’s a positive thing.”

However, controversy has erupted over the movement’s focus on African American progress and not civil rights as a whole.

“I think it’s worth the attention, but some people take it too far and extend it to things that it shouldn’t be,” Nation Ford High School (S.C.) student Azaria Goodwin said.

There is controversy over whether or not the group should even exist. Some agree their call for action is justified and change is needed, while others refuse to recognize the issue of systemic racism in America.

“Even though I don’t necessarily agree with Black Lives [Matter], I am not opposed to that movement, and I believe that they are bringing it to national and international attention. Areas that need to be looked at, they are shining a light where it needs to be shone so people can be aware of things that are actually happening,” Stafford High School (Va.) newspaper adviser Sue Gill said. “And it wouldn’t happen if [the slogan] was ‘All Lives Matter’: you wouldn’t get that same focus.

I think that this is a good campaign for that

reason.”

Social media has enabled this modern civil rights movement to mobilize and allowed the movement to amass support in the form of activists and protesters nationwide calling for equality.

“I don’t think we ever would’ve heard of [the other side of the story], in that I don’t think the mainstream media would have covered it to the extent that it got covered because of social media. What social media has allowed us to do is go both ways. Before social media, [mainstream] media went one way, [where] the media decided what the stories were and you, the reader, decided whether you wanted to read it or not,” Midwestern State University professor Bradley Wilson said. “Now, you (the reader) can tell me (the media) what the story is. And that has absolutely changed the way the media functions (in a good way).”

The nationwide attention has seeped into mainstream media coverage and has been addressed at the highest levels by celebrities, government officials, and the greater population. The movement is now so powerful it commands the attention of presidential candidates and encourages a free expression of ideas to move the country towards racial equality.

“It would certainly be nice if the presidential candidates would just simply respond to the campaign instead of blowing smoke and doing whatever else they’re doing. Some of the presidential candidates, I won’t say all

It is 2016 and a presidential candidate for a major party in American politics refused to disavow a connection to the KKK. @deray

of them, say: ‘look, we just had our first African-American president, and look how bad the world is now because--you know?,’” Wilson said. “It had nothing to do with the fact that he is [African American] at all. It had everything to do with the political environment that we are living in today, and so [politicians] would do well to pay attention to that movement because it’s another symptom of how things aren’t working in America.”

The Black Lives Matter group has fallen victim to stigma and partisanship which prevents unification as people avoid rallying around a cause they feel is too polarizing.

“I think that the presidential candidates [should] stop looking at individual groups and start looking at people. These are human’s rights, not just black rights, not just white rights, not just transgender or whatever,” Gill said. “It’s people and if we started looking at people, and their rights, then how could it not be addressed?”

The movement has made a point of addressing a group of people who felt as though they had been left behind, and has validated their concerns, fears and endeavors.

“The Black Lives Matter campaign has been a vital part of my growing up and realizing that I’m not less because I’m black,” Zakiya said. “I am not ugly because I am black. I am not anything less because I am black. My melanin is something to be proud of. My roots and heritage are something to smile about. That’s what this campaign has done for me.”

“#blacklivesmatter the inspiration I have taken from black culture has given me purpose in my life and i’ll never take it for granted #soul @JamesArthur23

FIERCE mentorship

Program helps freshmen girls navigate high school Story by Zakiya Austin, Maddie Mason and Sarah Emily Rish • photos by Maddie Mason

Below: A guest speaker helps senior Avery Allen determine if her relationship is healthy. FIERCE’s guest speaker taught the girls how to cultivate healthy relationships. Group members listened intently in order to fully grasp the concept of relationships.

School counselor Teresa Farrel is shows two freshmen how to assess the relationships in their lives. Farell used lessons like this to teach both freshmen and seniors the ins and outs of high school.

C

oming into high school is a challenge for freshmen, but with the help of seniors those freshmen can be more prepared to deal with what high school has in store for them over the next four years.

“I think it’s so easy for young girls to fall into the little pitfalls of high school,” senior Prentiss Edmond said. “But if they had the experience of talking with senior girls about real issues of high school then I think it would help prevent the younger girls from making the mistakes that hinder the enjoyment of being in high school.”

Females: Intelligent, Educated, Responsible, Capable, and Empowered (FIERCE) is a mentoring program designed to benefit freshmen girls. Its aim is to prevent those girls from repeating mistakes that seniors may have made their first year of high school.

“I truly believe that the better support and interventions for freshmen will lead to higher academic achievement and increase social adjustment,” FIERCE program leader and school counselor Teresa Farell said.

There are various reasons why

seniors would want to join this program and become mentors to freshmen.

“I decided to become a mentor because I’m choosing to major in Psychology and I’d like to be a clinical psychologist,” senior Avery Allen said. “I figured this would be a great opportunity.”

Not only do seniors agree this program is beneficial, but the freshmen girls agree as well.

“I think it’s important for me

freshmen themselves.

“I think it would have been helpful to have this opportunity as a freshman because not all people feel comfortable or have someone to talk to about any issues they’re having with school,” senior Chantel Scoville said, “and as a young teenager, it really makes a difference if you know that you’re not the only one having those problems.”

Even though the girls are vir-

“I truly believe that the better support and interventions for freshman will lead to higher academic achievement and increase social adjustment.”

-School counselor Teresa Farell

to be in this program because it will help me with my grades and improve parts of my life and attitude that need my attention,” freshman Lauryn Allgood said.

Senior mentors say they wish this program would have been available to them when they were

tually strangers, the seniors in the program still want to instill the values their freshman counterparts will need to survive high school.

“I think this program will help my mentee because even though we just met the girls, we give them advice regarding their

social lives, social media, and positive ways they can show self respect and respect for others,” Prentiss said.

The program not only helps students build relationships with other students, but with teachers as well.

“This was relevant to me because freshmen girls needed to have a place where they could share their feelings and build their inner strength to gain confidence in themselves,” Farell said. “I collaborated with [Assistant Principal of Instruction Tamara] Turner and [Media Specialist Evelyn] Newman to create a ninth grade female mentoring group.”

Mentors have plans to help their mentees succeed while in high school by being not only a mentor, but a friend as well.

“I really just befriended my mentee and [will] help them learn [skills] and adapt to make them successful throughout high school such as study tips, organization, self-respect, healthy lifestyle and being independent,” senior Ali Myatich said. “Most importantly I want to help my mentee have a happy high school experience.”

Branching out to the future Students prepare for job force

with specialized courses Story by Zakiya Austin, Sarah Emily Rish and Maddie Mason photos by Maddie Mason

Science, technology, engineering and math, otherwise known as STEM, is a program offered at Dutch Fork for students who are willing to challenge themselves. “[I joined STEM] to challenge myself academically and be a part of a group that shares the same goals as I do,” senior Richard Zhao said.

The STEM program is a way for students to be challenged every day, in and out of the classroom.

“Before every STEM class, take a moment to take a deep breath, say a prayer and enter the classroom ready to be challenged and learn how to overcome the challenges you face,” senior George Case said.

All District Five hight schools have at least one magnet program. STEM is Dutch Fork’s.

STEM offers its participants an opportunity to be in a smaller learning community. Coming into the ninth grade, students are placed into STEM-based courses.

Its honors curriculum is differentiated to offer its students more hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences.

Students in the program are expected to work hard, but also have fun in the classroom as well.

“It is a good way to meet new people, acquire new study skills, and do more than you would in a regular classroom,” senior Cassarra Rhue said.

The goals STEM students share is one of the reasons why friendships have evolved from STEM. “STEM has allowed me to be in classes with other individuals that want to be challenged and want to challenge others to become the best that they can be in their respective fields,” George said.

Not only are the students a huge part of what makes the program special, but the teachers are as well, helping their students with as much as they can so they will be successful.

“STEM has helped me because the teachers help you as much as they can and always want the best for you,” junior Samantha Wei said. “Also being around others who have the same goals as you helps you stay focused in school and helps determine what you want to do in the future.”

Standardized test confusion causes stress

hen the state legislature made the HSAP irrelevant, they could not have known the downward spiral that would follow.

In order for states to qualify for federal education money, they must administer a standardized test. For years, the HSAP exit exam filled that gap.

However, two years ago when the state legislature got rid of the test, they were left scrambling to find a replacement. This is why current seniors had to take the ACT and WorkKeys tests, which were hastily sprung on them during their junior year.

This year juniors didn’t even have the luxury of knowing what test they would be forced to take until that test was less than a month away, and that is wrong.

Most juniors were not informed of the WorkKeys test until a week before, and even minutes before the test was given out, test takers

were still in confusion as to what they were even being tested on.

If students will be given a test that will go on their permanent records, they should be given advance notice and have time to prepare.

It causes unfair stress on students to find out weeks or days before that they must take a test that could potentially determine whether or not they go to college.

A number of internal problems were also brought about due to the confusion and rushed nature of the WorkKeys test.

Prompters were taught a week before what to do, and when the students were filling out information before the test, there was numerous bits of information that students nor prompters knew what to fill in.

The school was also put on a delayed bell schedule, which took time away from third and fourth blocks. An entire block of the school had to be shut down, relo-

cating hundreds of students and causing mass confusion. More “Where am I supposed to go?” questions were asked on the morning of WorkKeys than there are on the first days of school.

If the state legislature did not have a test to replace the HSAP, it should not have been replaced at all. But because of the everchanging standards at the district, state and national levels, today’s students are being forced into a culture of excessive testing that sends them into disarray.

Rankings and school funding (among other things) are given out based on test scores. How is it fair to put that much importance on a test that a student doesn’t even know they were taking until the week of?

If the school can’t ensure that the test is given properly and is not a negative disruption to nontesting students, they should not be forced to give the test at all.

The Story: South Carolina’s last-minute procurement of standardized tests for juniors causes unnecessary stress for students.

Our View: Testing creates undue burden on school, students and teachers.

School must back healthy practices More effort needs to be put into keeping students in school column by Abby Beauregard

ith the end of winter break and constant shifts in weather, flu season has lasted longer than usual this year.

You’ve probably noticed the symptoms: friends missing school, the sweet melody of coughing and sneezing during a lecture, having to let people back into class that just insist on leaving the class to blow their noses.

It seems like it’s here to stay, folks, and unless you do something about it, the germs are coming for you, too.

It cannot be stressed enough how important hand washing is to avoid getting sick. (Also getting enough sleep, but who has time for that?)

In theory, it seems simple enough.

Step One: Turn on the water. Wow, is that water freezing!

Would it kill the school to get some hot water?

Step Two: Go for the soap (only to find that there is no soap in either dispenser).

Step Three: Walk back to class drying hands on pants because, like the soap, the air coming out of the hand dryer is virtually nonexistent.

Step Four: Try to get hand sanitizer out of the dispenser (only to find that there isn’t any of that either). Must find someone’s Bath and Body Works stash in their backpack.

If the school wants to prevent students from getting sick

12 | www.foxfusion.org | OPINION

and missing valuable instruction time, it isn’t doing a very good job of it.

There are lots of simple steps they could be taking to control the spread of the disease but are simply falling short.

The custodial staff can do as much as possible to refill soap and sanitizer dispensers. But if they don’t have the funding to replace those things, it won’t happen.

Numerous teachers encourage their students to buy their own hand sanitizer or tissues and bring them into class for all students to use, but why should that burden and expense be put on the students?

What ever happened to refill-

ing the hand sanitizer dispensers that were installed in every classroom just a few short years ago? Sure, there were some kids who abused it and contributed to the rise of the “super germ” (and possibly killed a bunch of brain cells smelling it), but those sanitizer dispensers helped keep the school less germy.

Prioritizing refilling those (especially during colder months) would help curb the spread of germs and prevent so many students (and teachers) from getting sick.

It makes sense to spend the money on soap and sanitizer so students aren’t missing out on something much more priceless: instruction time.

School, District need better solution for make-up days

Why should students be given an exit exam before graduating from high school?

Mason Young freshman

Basically just to see how you’ve grown through all of your years of learning.

Kara Wheeler sophomore

So that they can prove they learned the stuff they needed to learn to graduate.

Michael Templeton junior

To make sure they know their stuff. To know what they’re doing and that they’re ready for college.

Maddie Kimmell senior

Just to test their knowledge and make sure they understood the material from the beginning of the year to the end.

column by Abby Beauregard, Haley Dixon, and Trey Martin There are few phrases students love more than “school canceled due to inclement weather.”

Whether it’s flooding, ice on roads, or those beloved snow days, students (and teachers) do not discriminate when it comes to getting an unexpected day off.

Sadly, missing school does not come without repercussions. In fact, missed school days have to be made up unless forgiven by the state legislature.

Which begs the question: why?

Students miss valuable instruction time when they’re out playing in the snow or (more realistically) only going outside long enough to take a couple of pictures to post on Tumblr because snow is like so #aesthetic.

In addition, there are a set number of days students must be in school to receive federal funding.

The short answer? They’re trying to torture us.

The real question comes in after we’ve returned to school. Students have worked hard to make up for that lost time, so why are school officials so set on tacking on extra days at the end of the school year?

Do they really think students are going to come or continue to learn?

Students tend to check out after Spring Break and sitting in a classroom in June after exams isn’t doing anyone any good. The damage has already been done.

Time students lose early in the school year can’t be made up at the end because what good does

class on June 4 do for a student who needed that time in January to help pass their AP exams?

Even regular exams, which school officials do have control over, don’t get pushed back.

While school officials delay time deciding whether or not the days should be made up, students and teachers are forced to rush through curriculum to meet these “set-in-stone” exam dates.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting students to be in school for the correct amount of time; students should be encouraged to get all the learning time they can.

However, when students are sitting in classrooms, bored out of their minds on a day they shouldn’t even have been there, it just causes frustration for themselves and for teachers who are forced to sit there and babysit.

Instead, students could be working at their summer jobs or participating in academic interests outside of school (or complaining about how hot it is on Twitter).

There are ways to utilize those make-up days in better ways.

Push back exams, have a second field day, or focus on topics that were glossed over in class in the rush to get through the entire curriculum.

However, if they’re going to continue to push for useless days to meet state standards, sometimes it’s best just to accept defeat.

Stop trying to make going to school well into June happen. It’s never going to happen.

The epitome of society’s downfall

Twitter Beefs

I

n January, the world was blown away by the Twitter fight between rappers Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.

The snarky and rude comments made by both cultural icons were prime time entertainment for Twitter users. While the jokes may be funny and entertaining at a celebrity level, the issue is also a problem at a more common level.

In the past decade, social media usage has risen tremendously each year, and the problem of altercations being solved online has risen with it.

The first and most obvious problem that arises from “Twitter fights,” or any type of fight on the web, is that it promotes cyberbullying. National campaigns have been launched to prevent cyberbullying as teen suicide rates rise.

When you post online (either through your own profile or anonymously), it is easier to say something you feel rather than saying it in person.

Any person with a phone these days knows that it is easier to text someone information than say it to their face or call them on the phone. It eliminates a pressure that you feel, so it is easier to say mean things over

14 | www.foxfusion.org | OPINION

text, Twitter, Facebook (or any type of online platform) than in person.

Confrontations online also get a lot of attention. Tweets between Kanye and Wiz got upwards of 60,000 retweets, but this also common for everyday people.

A fight can’t go by online without the whole school talking about it the next day. It is now a constant battle to see who can be the meanest or the most “savage” online, and this causes bullying, too. Society has taken a negative direction where we believe publicly calling out individuals on their flaws is amusing.

While posting mean or inappropriate comments online is at an all time high, so are the repercussions.

A large number of teens all across the country have been arrested for cyberbullying, and many are serving jail time. If the situation leads to the victim’s hurting themselves, the charges could even reach several years in prison.

But one thing that the world doesn’t know about these “Twitter fights” is that people you don’t know about are watching. An increasing number of employers are now

searching through employees’ social media pages to see what they post. Also, college admissions representatives are looking at applicants’ profiles to make sure they are accepting a deserving individual.

Lastly, Twitter fights are just plain dumb. What happened to the days of rappers settling things face-to-face? Tupac and Biggie would look at Kanye and Wiz and laugh. Rap has become the most popular genre in America according to Spotify, but the most we’ve gotten out of these Twitter beefs is two diss tracks from Drake. Yawn.

Twitter and other social media platforms have risen to the pinnacle of today’s society.

Not only do friends, family, and peers follow each other, they follow celebrities, too.

And while it might be funny to watch Drake drag Meek Mill or see Nicki Minaj fire shots at Taylor Swift, it is a serious situation when you bully individuals through Twitter.

That tweet you sent about someone may be funny now, but will it be funny when that person attempts to harm themselves or when you get rejected from your dream college or not hired by a business?

AP exam location change brings confusion to student body Administering AP exams on campus may affect scores Column by Trey Martin

F

or students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses, the month of May brings thoughts of studying and intense preparation for exams. After putting in long hours doing strenuous homework and studying for rigorous tests, all the pressure comes down to this one day.

For years, students have taken their exams at Shady Grove United Methodist Church, a small and tranquil area located within minutes of Dutch Fork. The church rents out its recreational gym to the school, and students sit in rows of desks, quietly taking their exams.

Recently, the school announced that AP exams would not be taking place at Shady Grove, but would be taken in the Dutch Fork gym instead.

Shady Grove offers a number of different benefits to both test takers and non-test takers.

First, it is away from campus.

Most AP exams begin at either 8 a.m. or noon, and students are instructed to arrive 30 minutes before the exam begins. Test takers arriving at 7:30 or 11:30 a.m. are not a disruption to the vacant Shady Grove, but it would be a disruption to Dutch Fork students in their normal classroom environments.

Secondly, Shady Grove is isolated from the school. Test takers and prompters are the only ones at the church, whereas at the high school, there is a plethora of non-test takers that are surrounding the gym. To try and preserve the quiet testing environment, the school will have to get faculty to patrol the

hallways around the gym.

There are also some other difficulties that will have to be sorted out. If the test is being taken in the gym, where will the students in gym class go during those days? The entire athletic wing would have to be locked down, and there are too many students just to stick in study hall. AP exams go on for two weeks, so there will be 10 total days missed for all of the gym students.

Research has also proven that a testing environment can affect scores, either positively or negatively. At Shady Grove, students are in a quiet gym with nothing hanging on the walls. At Dutch Fork, the walls are adorned with banners, advertisements, and don’t forget the enormous Silver Fox staring down at you.

The distracting environment could negatively impact the scores that many students rely on to attend college.

Of course, the school would not have made the change if there wasn’t at least one benefit coming: the change was made for financial reasons. Shady Grove does charge the school to rent out the gym, but it is a very modest and manageable amount.

While saving money is always a benefit, there are plenty of reasons to keep the exams at Shady Grove. The church is a sanctuary for students whose futures rely on the outcome of these exams, and if the school’s scores are lower this year than they have been in years past, the school should consider keeping the exams at Shady Grove next year.

District 5: encouraging success or leveling the playing field?

Middle school students may be more likely to attend high school other than one for which they’re zoned

D

utch Fork has consistently been ranked the best high school in District 5 and the top traditional public high school in South Carolina (according to test scores).

However, being best in the state apparently comes with a price.

Irmo, Chapin and even Spring Hill are being advertised more to the eighth graders than Dutch Fork is. Despite the promotional videos shown to the middle schoolers about each high school, Dutch Fork tends to be given the short end of the stick.

Along with this, none of the high schools are allowed to recruit rising freshmen to be in elective programs.

This may not seem like such a

Column by Haley Dixon big deal, but for several programs, the only thing keeping them active are the students coming in from the middle school.

This decision may have been made to even the playing field for the other high schools, as many students were coming to Dutch Fork for different programs while not as many were going off to Irmo and Chapin for what they have to offer.

The opening of Spring Hill High School resulted in even more competition for rising freshmen. When Spring Hill first opened as a magnet school, the District obviously wanted students enrolling in that school for their programs. And, initially, its “newness” was its best-selling factor.

Not to allow any of the high school programs go to the middle schools to recruit freshmen may seem like a pretty good theory: no school can get more students by recruiting if no schools are allowed to recruit.

However, this policy may end up hurting those students in the long run.

If an eighth grader is on the newspaper staff at their middle school, it would make sense for them to want to join the newspaper staff again in high school.

But if they know nothing about the class or program, how will they know if they really want to join it again?

They won’t.

New buildings might have amazing equipment and bright,

shiny new toys for their equally brand new school. However, quality equipment alone doesn’t guarranty a quality program.

If a middle schooler were to hear that a high school has nice and rather expensive equipment for something that they’re interested in, they will want to go to that school instead of the school that actually offers the type of education (in an established program) that they’re looking for.

The District’s decision to try to “level the playing field” takes away something that is important to the high school programs’ successes, but also potentially limits the futures of the middle schoolers. It is not a great idea.

Theater students stage production of The Crucible Story by Trey Rice, Chyna Wallace, and Malik Brazile • Photo by Robert Sawyer

W

ith the release of the most recent school production, The Crucible, Dutch Fork thespians have been honing their on-stage skills.

Theatre allows students to shine on stage through their roles. All of these roles are what allow students to improve by practicing on stage and learning how cooperate with their fellow actors.

“I’ve grown a lot in my dramatic acting due to my participation in The Crucible and learning to act more closely with my fellow cast mates,” junior Lyndsey Brown said.

Acting in school productions allows students to form new or stronger friendships.

It’s these friendships that help the actors in future productions by having experience with working together.

“My favorite part about doing The Crucible is the precious time I’ve been able to spend with my friends and the close bonds I’ve built,” junior Kianna Flemming said.

Theatre allows students to become used to acting and use their skills in the future to pursue careers in drama. For those not interested in pursuing a career in drama, theatre

can present an opportunity for students to just have fun doing something they enjoy.

“Working with the cast was my favorite part because everyone was easy to get along with and everyone was patient with one another,” senior Malik Walker said.

The actors say by participating in the play they learned to perform in ways they never have before.

“Learning to listen and taking constructive criticism are some of the things that I benefited from in the production,” Malik said, “because it made me perform better than ever before.”

This production has a darker and more serious tone than other school productions and proves that not every story has a happilyever-after.

“The Crucible is such an intense show,” Lyndsey said. “I’m used to doing upbeat and happy shows, but The Crucible doesn’t have a happy ending. It was a refreshing change.”

The darker tone allows actors to explore a new area of acting with a unique use of storytelling and drama.

“It is very dramatic and tense. It really al-

lows the actors to explore a different level of material in terms of storyline and characterization,” drama teacher Jessica Fichter said.

With this darker change in tone, there is also a slight increase in the difficulty of acting as actors require more concentration and understanding of the material and characters.

With Fichter’s help, Dutch Fork actors were able to overcome these obstacles.

“It is always beneficial to tackle something new and challenging,” Fichter said. “I think the students learned a lot about the physicality of characters in highly emotional situations and how to keep the pace of a drama moving and engaging for the audience.”

All the actors agree that being in the production has been a fun and interesting experience with a darker atmosphere. They each look say they forward to participating in other productions in the future.

“I would participate in another play. I’m practicing for my career. I want to be a theatre professor and I need all the experience I can get,” Kianna said. “Theatre kids are the best and it’s such a safe environment. It’s been a great influence on my life.”

Dancers shine on stag Story by Sarah Emily Rish, Sam Aaron and Haley Dixon • photo by Maddie Mason

tudents ranging from all levels of dance gathered to showcase their talent at the fall dance concert.

“I get excited at every single show because I get excited for my students,” dance teacher Ginny Haynes said. “It’s not really about me anymore because I stopped performing years ago, so with me not being a professional dancer I want [the students] to experience the stage and what that stage brings out in them.”

Dancers went through many intense practices to prepare for the concert.

“We have practice every week after school from 4-6 [p.m.] and we learn the finale dance the first two days and then the rest of the days we practice with costumes [and] lights,” senior Zarian Warren said. “And Thursday before the show we do a runthrough of the whole entire show exactly how we would do it that night and Friday night.”

The concert consisted of a wide variety of dances using a range of emotions and techniques.

“I think this was one of our better dance concerts because the middle school was in it and we had a wide variety of dances in it,” senior Elise Maglione said.

Over the years, the dance concert has improved for some students, and has made it even more enjoyable for the audience.

“I think [the dance concert has] gotten better every year,” Zaria said. “We have different types of styles that we put into the concert and new people come and you see a lot of new, creative things come together.”

There are still things that dancers can improve on for the next concert. “[I need to work on my] facial expressions because they make the dance, so you have to be able to match your expression to the expression of the dance,” junior Anyah Barber said.

For Haynes, this concert was a chance to see her dancers flourish as performers.

“I get really excited to see my dancers experience [performing in the concert],” Haynes said. “To see the new dancers that have never been on stage experience this for the first time and have that ‘yes’ moment.”

As a senior, Zaria said the dance concert has been a positive aspect of her high school career.

“It made my high school experience better,” Zaria said.

“Dance is my number one thing here to do, so I love it and it makes everything better.”

The dance concert allows all dancers to showcase their talents for their peers, too.

“I’m excited about performing with the Dazzlers. This is my first time on the team,” Lana said.

Through the preparation for this concert, students have gained more confidence to perform in front of others.

“I feel like people are becoming more open to dancing in front of people,” Lana said.

Whatever the reason may be for attending, the dancers have worked tirelessly, along with Haynes, to deliver an unforgettable performance to their audience.

“We review every day in class,” Anyah said. “We go over everything we need to and we break down things in class so everyone knows what they need to do.”

Selling out for the first time, the fall concert also included performances from the Dutch Fork Middle School dance team.

“The dancers were amazing and continue to get better each year. It was also really cool to have the middle school dance program join forces with us for the concert,” Haynes said.

There were many numbers the other dancers enjoyed as well as the audience.

“My favorite dance was ‘It Could Happen to You’ because the choreography was amazing and the performers really embodied their characters,” Elise said.

Haynes said she was impressed by the dancers’ performances and how the concert went as a whole.

“The expectations I placed on each level were accomplished and were successful during this concert,” Haynes said, “and I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Because Haynes is not a performer any more, she said she tries her best to prepare her students for the concerts the best that she can.

“I am not the one on stage performing, but I do my best to give them the tools to be successful on stage and walk away with a successful feeling,” Haynes said. “I tell my students all the time, ‘Shoot for the moon because even if you miss you’ll be among the stars.’”

The spring dance concert will be held May 5 and 6 in the auditorium.

The Dutch Fork student body is lucky to be so close to downtown Columbia. Columbia has tons of things to do, like hitting up new restaurants and recommending them to friends (so you sound like an experienced Soda City resident).

Prom blast

provides ultimate kick-off

to prom season

Story by Chyna Wallacce, Malik Brazile, and Trey Rice • photos by Maddie Mason

irls in dresses take the stage with boys in tuxedos, signaling the arrival of prom season. Students cheer on their peers who model on stage as they all get excited for prom.

“We have prom blast so we can advertise prom, and give people the wake up call that prom is soon,” sophomore Stephen Wise said.

While some students may focus on prom months before it arrives, there are also those who forget about it until the last minute.

Guys may have forgotten about renting their tuxedos and girls may not have found the perfect dress. “[We have prom blast] To help them realize how close prom is, and for them to realize what things they need to purchase,” junior board and prom sponsor Phyllis Richmond said. “The tuxedos need to be rented in time for the boys, and for the girls need to purchase their dresses.”

Some models aren’t new to the stage or standing in front of their friends modeling a suit or dress. Models who enjoyed participating in prom blast last year decided to do it again.

“I signed [up] because I wanted to model again since I did it last year and I really enjoyed it,” Stephen said.

Some models, however, were new to the stage and the attention. Those new models may have been nervous about getting on

22 | www.foxfusion.org | LIFE

stage and walking around the commons in formal wear.

“When it got closer and closer to prom blast I was getting nervous about walking out there,” junior Michelle Alvarez said, “but once I stepped on the stage and heard my friends supporting me I was comfortable.”

The junior board works hard to get tuxes and dresses donated from stores. These donations allow the models to promote the stores by w e a r i n g the store’s dresses and not having to provide their own attire.

“Some of the students get their own dresses sponsored, and then we have some sponsors looking for businesses that give us dresses to wear,” Richmond said.

During prom blast, vendors come and try to convince students to buy or rent their dresses or suits. Having the vendors at school helps the students by eliminating the need to search for their prom needs in the city or online. The vendors also get a lot more business than they may have otherwise had.

“I truly believe in networking within the

community, and it helps the community and also helps me in the same sense because I get the exposure,” Persona Custom Clothing Representative Stan Moss said. “People will be able to see the things that I’m doing and word of mouth is better than anything.”

Participants and vendors agree that prom blast was an appropriate way to kick off prom season and bring the student body together.

“It’s been such a good experience and it’s nice to see your school community come support one another,” Moss said.

To be a prom blast participant, the requirements are simple. Richmond encourages all students to join the event for the years ahead.

“Students can come to my room and get a permission slip. I promote it on the daily announcements and the scrolling announcements,” Richmond said.

Prom blast may inspire others to participate in prom if they haven’t before or haven’t been eligible to in past years.

“I think it definitely does [build participation] because it makes [students] want get fancy and go have fun with their friends,” junior Taylor Wiggins said. “It’s a one-time experience that they may never get again.”

Athletes finalize college destinations Student athletes sign to play sports at their future colleges story by Lydia Kicklighter• photo by Maddie Mason

S

igning Day for high school athletes is a day that can determine the rest of their career in sports. This year, six Dutch Fork seniors signed to their dream schools for various reasons.

“I chose to play soccer at Lander University because they offered me the most money (and that’s the most important reason),”senior Emily Jermstad said. “A lot stood out to me when choosing to go there. I love the sports complex and the size of the school.”

While one student chose based on scholarships, others chose based on their feelings while on campus, and that feeling of being “at home.” “[I chose Lander] because I love the soccer team, the coaches and facilities. Everything about the school made me feel at home,” senior Kelsey Guard said.

Senior TJ Shook said he felt the same about the University of South Carolina, where he has committed to play baseball.

Other students chose where

Branden Deans said.

Family also plays a big role in determing where athletes want to play.

“I have family up in Iowa

“I felt like my prospects for the futures would be infintely better an an Ivy League school” - senior Cole Douglas they knew they would be completely focused on their sport.

Student athletes know that if they have sports scholarships, they need to be focused on the sport to keep the scholarship.

“I have a few friends up there [at Erskine], and it’s small.

There’s not many distractions so I can focus on baseball,” senior

(grandparents and uncles), and being near them will help me transition into college,” senior Jonah Potts said. “[Loras College] is a smaller D3 school, but they’re ranked number one in the nation, so I know I can go up there and compete.”

Signing to an Ivy League school is quite the accomplish-

ment for senior Cole Douglas.

Even though Cole didn’t choose his father’s alma mater, Jack Douglas said he is still proud of his son.

“We talked and he felt that the Ivy League experience superseded any family traditions that we have, and I’m happy that he is starting his own path,” Douglas said, “and I’ll support him no matter what.”

Cole said athletics were not the only thing he looked for when choosing a college. To him, academics and education are equally as important, and that is one of the main reasons Cole chose Dartmouth.

“I felt like my prospects for the future would be infinitely better at an Ivy League school,” Cole said. “I wanted to make a name for myself while getting a top-of-the-line education.”

Grueling practices, intense training, victory await Dutch Fork runners

hile most students are sitting in their comfortable houses, the track athletes at Dutch Fork brace the cold weather in preparation for their upcoming season.

“Track is very painful,”sophomore Ben Norton said. “I say that because not many people want to go out and just run, they want to add a sport along with it like soccer or football, but no one runs as much as us.”

While the track coaches are preparing their athletes by conditioning them at practice, essential work is being done by the athletes at home.

“The real work is done away from the track,” track coach Barry Lindler said. “It’s done in the weight room, on the weekends, and how they take care of themselves away from practice.”

While the students are do-

ing work during conditioning on the track, they are also training themselves at home.

“At home I’m working out almost every day,” sophomore Allee Cobb said. “I’m running and lifting weights at the gym.”

The team always returns a good number of participants, and this year’s team includes seasoned veteran junior Avery Dominick.

“Whenever I run, it makes me feel like I am gaining something meaningful inside of me. Running gives me the opportunity to do that,” Avery said.

Avery is regarded as a leader of the team, and many of the athletes say they love his work ethic.

“I look up to Avery because he is the one that got me into running in the first place,” Ben said, “and he is a hard worker.”

While he knows he is a leader, Avery remains as humble as ever.

“As a leader on the team, I do my best to be an example of someone who is positive, hard working, and a good influence,” Avery said. “I want everyone who joins track to love the journey of which they are working towards.”

Avery is known around school for his love of running, as one of the top performers on both the track and cross country teams since he was in middle school.

“It gives me the opportunity to be proud of something I work hard for,” Avery said.

While track is a sport with a high participation rate, many students are uninformed on what the details of the track season include.

“We start conditioning in January, in February we practice every day, and our season starts at the end of February and goes through May,” Lindler said.

Both the coaches and the athletes have high expectations for not only the team, but as individuals as well.

“This season I’m expecting to decrease my mile time by a good amount and I want to work on my overall form,” Ben said.

The coaching staff also is looking forward to a good season with a great group of students.

“We’re always very excited about what a new season brings to us,” Lindler said. “If our athletes have stayed as focused as we hope they have, we should have a very productive season.”

While the workouts may be long and strenuous, the athletes do not use that as an excuse to distract them from their love of the sport.

“My favorite thing is the feeling of accomplishment after a good race,” Allee said. “You feel like all of your work has paid off.”

1,000 Ways To Become A Star

Story by Sam Aaron, Josh German and Lydia Kicklighter • Photo used with permission of Go Flash Win

O

n Tuesday, Jan. 12, Dutch fork star basketball player Jordan Davis was honored pregame for scoring 1,000 points in his career. Only a junior, Jordan has passed a milestone reached by very few in their full careers and only looks to improve before his time as a Silver Fox is over. “[Scoring 1,000 career points] ranks pretty high on my list of accomplishments because coming into high school it’s always been a goal of mine,” Jordan said. “I always wanted to break records and be remembered as one of the best players in school history and my coaches and teammates have helped me reach that.”

Leading to a jump in production this season, Jordan’s leadership ability and work ethic also contribute to his success, according to his teammates.

“Jordan is as good of a teammate as he is a player,” junior teammate Bryson Cannon said. “He is a hard worker and he helps the team win by not only just scoring but being an all around player and one of the leaders on the team. He knows he’s the go-to guy but still looks to create opportunities for his

teammates to help the team win.”

Averaging 22.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.1 steals per contest, Jordan’s special talent is being noticed by both fans and college coaches.

“Right now I have offers from South Alabama, VCU, East Carolina, Cincinnati and Presbyterian College,” Jordan said. “[I] really don’t have any front runners right now because my junior season just started and I have the rest of the school year and the whole summer to go before I will even be thinking about the next level. Right now I’m just thinking about school and winning as many games as we can.”

Jordan’s demeanor on and off the court has been noticed, as he serves as a role model that younger players can look up to.

“Jordan is a star player and he’s worked hard for everything he is getting,” B-team freshman player Chase Raymond said. “The way he gives 100 percent in everything that he does, from conditioning to practice to games, makes me want to do the same thing to be the best I can be as a player.”

Scoring is something Jordan does very well, and he models

his game after some of the game’s very best on the highest level.

“I don’t really have one player that I try to emulate.

I like to put a lot of players’ games into my own by using some of the moves they do,” Jordan said. “Some players that I look up to are Russell Westbrook and Klay Thompson because of their shooting ability and the way they get to the basket so effortlessly.”

Choosing two of the NBA’s best guards to model his game after has certainly helped Jordan become one of the best players in South Carolina.

“He’s a mismatch because he’s so quick and polished as a player,” Bryson said, “but he knows the game enough to recognize these mismatches and take advantage of them and put the ball in the basket.”

While being one of the best basketball players in Dutch Fork history is a great accomplishment, Jordan said he wants to make even more history before he hangs his sneakers up for good.

“I want to be a part of the first team to win a men’s basketball State Championship in school history,” Jordan said.

“That’s the ultimate goal for me.”

very sports team always has room for improvement. The same is true for the varsity boys’ lacrosse team, and they are living up to their high expectations with two wins right off the bat.

“We’ve proven ourselves to be a formidable opponent against teams around the state in scrimmages in the preseason,” senior Midfielder Andrew Herbst said. “We can take our region and should be able to make a strong run in the playoffs, with a good chance of going to state. We have a strong start after beating Chapin and a consistently good midlands team, A. C. Flora.”

This feat was accomplished because of the team’s persistence and drive to win that allowed them to make stronger strides this season in comparison to the past.

30 | www.foxfusion.org | SPORTS

“This team is unbelievably focused each and every time we hit the field no matter who the opponent is,” junior Midfielder Alex Johnson said. “We never back down and we never will give up until the last whistle blows.

That is why I believe this team is a playoff -caliber team, and not just a one-and-done.

We want to prove to the entire state that we are a force to be reckoned with.”

Especially in comparison to past years, this team is looking to be better than ever. Players believe they can achieve this because of their lack of wins in the past, so it’s pushing them to work harder to make their team better.

“This year we have a group of guys that are looking to have a breakout year. We are hyped up and ready to wreck some teams,” junior defense Jordan Young said.

The excitement to win and create a name for themselves is making for a riveting start to the season. And the season’s start is allowing for more wins and more chances to show the rest of the state what the team is made of.

“We are a threat to the Midlands because we are sick and tired of being the team everyone wants to play because they assume it’s an easy win,” Alex said. “We want to be the team that everyone is scared of and everyone marks on their calendar.”

Once the team creates a name for itself, the rest of the Midlands (and eventually the state) will look at them like a force to be reckoned with. The team is working to accomplish this goal by focusing more and more every practice and making each and every practice and game count.

Boys’ lacrosse teammates work together to achieve season goals “Everybody is focused and ready to put in work every day,” Andrew said. “We’re hungry for a great season and this year’s team wants to prove that Dutch Fork is more than just a mediocre Midlands team. We are prepared to do what we can to go as far as possible. That level of focus hasn’t been seen before in the program.”

This focus is what is going to get the team to State (which is their main goal every year).

It’s different because of all of the strong players who add different elements to the team.

“This year’s team is different from the past years because we’ve all had JV experience and we all share the same goal, and it’s State,” Alex said. “Our school pride is unmatched.

When we go down in a game we don’t roll over

and give up like the past years. Everyone digs deep and finds that extra gear and pushes on.”

With stronger players and a more focused team, everyone has their eyes on the prize.

This determination is what will get them farther and end with a better result than in years’ past.

“The reason this year’s team is better than past year’s teams is because this year the team is solid in every aspect. Our goalie, Matthew Poston, is fantastic and he stops almost everything that comes at him,” freshman attack man Drew Dewer said.

“We have two lines of strong defenders and multiple lines of midfielders that can make plays happen.

“We also have two lines of attackmen that

can make plays as well,” Drew said. “There isn’t much of a weak link on our team, which makes it hard for other teams to beat us.”

The closeness of the team is what makes them strong. Winning is just a bonus.

“I’ve been with Dutch Fork Lacrosse since day one, so I’ve never once thought about leaving the sport,” Alex said. “I have too much pride in what I do, and there is no better feeling than winning with your boys after a tough game. Also I wouldn’t want to lose with any other group of guys because we will always bring each other back up.”
