ACT
Tomorrow an ACT test will be offered to students from Manhattan High and surrounding schools. MHS offers several opportunities for students to prepare for the test, the most popular being a preparatory class taught by Mrs. Duvane. Each student who takes the class receives a book of 3 retired practice tests and a handful of tips for taking the test. “I took Mrs. Duvane’s ACT class and have also been doing practice problems from the book every night. I think the practice tests are the most helpful,” junior Ilana Budenosky said. A combination of 38 sophomores and juniors took the prep class to prepare for tomorrow’s test. The class costs students $75.

PROM ROYALTY
Prom Royalty was announced Monday, with a total of 12 juniors for Prince and Princess and 12 seniors for King and Queen. Candidates were selected from a list of several students from each class that met the criteria. In order to be on the nominee list, a student must have at least a 3.5 GPA. Each class could only vote for students from the same class. “I’m excited to be considered,” junior Tyler Hoyt, who is a candidate for Princess, said.

NHS NEW MEMBERS The Manhattan High National Honor Society recently wrapped up the application process for new membership. Open to students in at least 10th grade with a grade point average at or above 3.5, the process consisted of a written application of the applicant’s leadership ability, commitment to community and school service, strong character and solid scholarship record. “I wanted to help volunteer,” sophomore Adarsh Singh, one of the students selected for admission to NHS, said. “And it looks good on a college application.” Of the numerous eligible applicants, 62 candidates were chosen for membership. Letters notifying those students of the decision were mailed earlier this week. The induction ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. on April 25 at MHSW.

GROWING PAINS AN INCREASING BIRTH RATE MAY NECESSITATE LONG-RANGE EXPANSION Cole Anneberg news editor Manhattan High School could be at capacity in the near future due to an increase in the birth rate in Riley County. Recent reports from USD 383 show that the kindergarten classes for the last few years have been gradually increasing from year to year. “We’ve seen a general birth rate increase in Riley County,” associate superintendent Bob Seymour said. “If you anticipate that those youngsters will stay here, then you could assume that there will be some addi-

tional students enrolled.” Along with an increased birth rate in the county, an increase of population at Fort Riley is also causing larger classes. In fact, about 25 percent of USD 383 students are connected to the military, according to USD 383. “So much of it depends on what happens at Fort Riley. Pretty recently more folks have been coming in, and any change may affect the enrollment,” Seymour said. The report from last fall shows that 540 students are currently enrolled in the kindergarten class -- up by about 100 students since 2006.
“Our kindergarten class has been large for the last two years, and we’ve seen that those large numbers have been retained into first and second grade,” Seymour said. The current design of Manhattan High School can comfortably fit about 1,540 students of grades 10-12 -- or an average of 510 students per class. However, if those high enrollment numbers of the lower grades continue to move up to the secondary level, then an additional high school may be needed. “As the younger students flow through the system we may need some additional space.

Science Olympiad takes third Kaitlin Wichmann staff writer After months of practice and prep, the hard work of the Science Olympiad team paid off as they took third place overall for large schools at State. The team arrived on Friday and spent the night in Wichita before beginning the competition early Saturday morning. The team consists of 15 people and is lead by Mr. Nelson and Mr. Lamb. Each member of the team can compete in up to 4 events. Manhattan High tied for fourth place with Olathe East High School in Division C and 3rd overall for larger schools. Manhattan placed first in
several sub divisions, including Chemistry Lab, Helicopters and Optics. “Overall I thought we did good and were really prepared,” junior Nick Donohue said. “For the tough competition there was, we did amazing.” Donohue competed in three events, including Disease Detectives, Microbe Mission, and Fermi Questions. “My favorite event I competed in was Microbe Mission,” Donohue said. “It was a general view about microbiology and we took multiple tests over six different stations.” Donohue worked alongside junior Austin Canady to earn third place. “All of the people did pretty
well,” Canady said. Canady also did well in Forestry, taking second place along with Grishma Pradhan. Several alternatives were also able to attend and gain experience. Junior Anna Brokesh has had a pleasant experience being an alternate for the Science Olympiad. “I enjoy [science olympiad],” Brokesh said. “I get to watch how Science Olympiad works and how all the events go under less pressure than just doing it and I get to learn from experienced members who’ve taken the tests or built things before.” Though she didn’t compete, Brokesh still had her hands full
at State. “I helped by handing out event cards that the competitors needed,” Brokesh said. “I helped them study the night before, brought them
equipments for the events, and just did a bunch of stuff like that. Also we recorded important things about their events that the team might need to know in the future.”

would improve their pet’s quality of life or prolong their pain. There is also an important difference between people and pets in that people who are sick understand why they are undergoing painful treatment to get better but pets don’t. This decision has a powerful impact in considering how a treatment can improve their pet’s quality of life. People owe their pets basic veterinary care, but many should consider all aspects of treatment and not just pay because they cannot face the tough emotional challenge of making that hard decision to euthanize. The amount of money put into save one dog can save many other animals who can’t even find a home much less an owner who cares enough to consider expensive treatments like these.

Blue and gold macaws are known for their ability to be great companions. They enjoy attention, head scratching and cuddling. They are also known for their ability to learn tricks and words. Even Winston Churchill owned a blue and gold macaw. Having exotic animals around has been a great experience for me. By exotic, I don’t mean lions and tigers and bears...oh my! I mean something other than a dog or cat, something strikingly unusual and different. I think people should consider bringing exotic animals into their homes more often. You might be surprised by the companionship and joy you receive from your exotic friend.

Fifth season of ‘Mad Men’ Tensions run high Twelve Angry Jurors Cast earns critic’s approval Ben Shields staff writer DVR-ists beware. This article contains spoilers. It’s too early in season five of “Mad Men” to determine whether or not it is finally experiencing growing pains. The latest episode contained one of the most ridiculous “Mad Men” plotlines ever, a fever-induced dream initially presented as reality by Don Draper in which he strangled an ex-lover who had snuck into his home. It was cheap and manipulative of Matthew Weiner and the rest of “Mad Men’s” writers to set it up this way, though it did have significance to the show. The dream represented Don’s efforts to get rid of his past, a consistent theme of season five so far. But this show should not feel like “Basic Instinct.” The episode served as major character development for Don, Peggy and Ginsburg (the new Jewish employee of Sterling-CooperDraper-Pryce), however, and had great moments. One lackluster episode from the best drama on television is no reason to gripe. This season is setting itself up to be possibly the most interesting one of the series. Roger Sterling is a hoot as usual, though his tragic flaw of coasting through life is starting to come back to haunt him, with the assistance of Pete Campbell. It’s fascinating that Pete is the adult one now considering that at the beginning of the show, Don hated him for being such a child. Sterling, still my personal favorite char-
acter, complained in the season premiere about the changes occurring in the office. “When are things just going to get back to normal?” he moaned. That’s the thing: with the Civil Rights movement and the rise of bands like The Rolling Stones, it’s time for his generation to step aside now. This is the new normal. After running an ad intended to be humorous, SCDP has found themselves being forced to hire black employees. It’s a very “Mad Men”-ish twist that they integrated their office only because of a little joke. Now Don’s new secretary, Dawn, is a black woman. Her name is

Last season, one would assume that he would hold onto Megan as long as possible in order to remain “perfect.” But the new Don doesn’t even seem to care about that sort of thing. That’s over now. He doesn’t even come to work on time anymore. It’s hard for us as viewers not to hate Megan (does anyone else feel guilty for it?), so Don has to be going nuts living with her. Only time will tell.

He should probably stick to what he’s used to writing about, such as his home state and large plotturning thunder storms. The book has everything it needs to be as great as “The Notebook”. However, I think Sparks did not take the time to evolve this book and make it as good as it could be. I wish I could sit here and say that it was a great read, because I truly respect Sparks as a romance novelist.

One Direction changes boy band image Cole Anneberg news editor One Direction’s debut album, “Up All Night,” stocked with power-pop-rock tracks, is taking the former British X-Factor contestants to great places. “Up All Night” doesn’t suffer from the same shift in club-influence that other mainstream boy bands have been affected by. “One Thing,” my personal favorite from the album, has the typical, cliche lyrics anybody would expect to hear from any boy band. Yet One Direction surprised me with its members’ impressive vocals. An increasingly popular track, “What Makes You Beautiful,” has the usual ‘charming’ lyrics like other musicians in this type of pop music. But the amazing vocal talent the boys have makes them sound like something we haven’t heard before, washing out that bad taste us ‘90s kids still have in our mouths from ‘NSync’s reign. On a few tracks, the boys get lazy on their lyrics like “Cause I can love you more than this, yeah, When he lays you down, I might just die inside.” But even when they take a predictable turn, they remain cohesive and crowd-pleasing. I know what you’re thinking, “Who needs another boy band,” but believe me, these guys are doing great things with their new album. I’m glad to see that One Direction is transforming the boy band into something our generations can finally respect. What really makes this band unique are the different personalities that the band brings together. Zayn Malik, one of the bands prominently featured singers, has that smooth, calm and in-control vibe that teenage girls everywhere go crazy for. Niall Horan is by far my favorite member of the band. He rarely takes the vocal spotlight, but his playful, adorable and boyish vibe ties the band’s personality together. The remaining guys, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, tend to sound and present themselves the same. continued on page 6

The Manhattan High School football teams began work on the 2012 season by electing captains. The new captains are Juniors Cameron Garwood, Wiatt Charleston, Logan Clark and Jacob Holloway. "I tell the kids beginning their freshman year that its a process that leads up to their senior year," Head football coach Joe Schartz said. "The guys that were chosen have proven themselves trustworthy to their teammates." Through out the season players begin to notice other players for their leadership ability and trust and will ultimately chose who they want to lead the team for the upcoming season. Once the season ends, players will then decide which players will lead the team for the upcoming season. “I’m proud to be elected,” Clark said. “It’s a real honor.” The players who were elected captains will now take on some new responsibilities and the first thing that all the captains aim to do is keep the group motivated through-out the season. "We have to keep the group tight," Holloway said. "We can't let ourselves stray away and lead by example." Last seasons captains were Seniors Joe Ballard, Trey Francis, Logan Mahan and Brooks Debord. A captains job is to lead and teach others to follow in their footsteps when they graduate. Now a new era of Indians will take the field in August next season. "I learned a lot," Charleston said. "Just how they act. They're the first ones to practice and the last ones to leave." The captains have been chosen, now the Tribe will begin work on the up coming season in hopes to return to the post season. “Well we work year round in the weight room,” Schartz said. “Its a long process to build a team and we’ve begun that process.” After 27 straight regular season wins the Tribe will look to extend that winning streak next season and begin defense of their crown as Centennial league champions.
Exceptional performances leads to qualifying Cole Anneberg news editor The girls swim team did exceptionally well at last Thursday’s meet in Salina, with many of the girls moving closer to qualifying for State. “We have a really strong bunch of girls,” swim coach Jerry Carpenter said. “A lot of them are just at the edge of being State qualifiers.” One of those swimmers is senior Keziah McNair, who along with sophomores Emma Bartlet, Sammi Greiger and Emily Kady swam the 200 yard free relay, earning a time of 2:02.99 -- eight seconds away from qualifying. “I got my best time so far and my goal is to qualify,” McNair said. “I’m going for it.” Another swimmer that is close to qualifying is sophomore Pilar Dritz. Dritz got first in the 200 yard Individual Medley at the
meet with a time of 2:18.45, as well as getting second in the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:06.22, a mere second away from qualifying. “I’ve already qualified in the 200 yard Individual Medley, but I’m just one second away in the butterfly,” Dritz said. “I think if I swam it one more time I could get it.” Carpenter is just as confident that Dritz will qualify in the next meet. “She’s a highly talented swimmer,” Carpenter said. “She was just outside of the top eight at state last year, and it’s highly likely that she will be a finalist this year.” Dritz, an active swimmer for 10 years now, plans to continue swimming to get her personal bests. “I like challenges and swimming is very challenging,” Dritz said. “I enjoy being in the water
and I know I will keep swimming.” The rest of the team has been working just as hard to swim their best for the remainder of the season, such as first year swimmer, senior Jordyn Stephens. Stephens places first in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 36.84. “I only docked a second off of my time, but the best part was that I learned to control my nerves. I was really nervous at my first meet. I’m giving it my all and the support from the rest of the girls is helping me too,” Stephens said. Senior Elisabeth Richt agreed stating “We cheer for who ever is in the water all the time. When you’re swimming you really can hear all the support from your teammates and coaches.”
Tennis takes home meet
"When it came to what we messed up on most (Varsity) Coach Scott Mall would say it was base running, but I thing we just had some miscommunication on the field. Everyone is really good at it we just messed up," Devlin said. Tonight the Indians play Hayden at home, a school that the girls expect to produce a much closer game. "This year they have a new freshman pitcher that is supposed to be amazing. It's going to be tough coming off such an easy win then have to go in and play a team like Hayden this week and Shawnee Heights and Seaman next week. We're in the meat of our schedule now and last year Hayden beat us, we split with Shawnee, and lost to Seaman," Bridegam said. Even though the girls will be up against difficult teams Bridegam has full-faith in her team. "We're working on fine-tuning our game and have a really good softball IQ," she said.

The boys Varsity tennis team competed in their only home meet this past Tuesday, following a second place win the week before at Washburn. This time the team took first, beating out Marysville, Junction City, and Highland Park. The team won 11 out of the 12 games, dropping only one game in the #2 doubles. Senior Kenton Hallowell led the team in #1 singles and ended up only playing two matches, after there was a default due to injury. Junior Jake Seaton played #2 singles and never lost one game, resulting in a 24-0 game count. Juniors Riley Ratliff and Dustin Hayes paired up to win three straight matches as the #1 doubles pair.

Tuesday was a successful day for the Manhattan Indian Varsity baseball players, as the team swept the field in a victory against Highland Park. The team played a double header at home, with a final score of 7-1 in the first game, and 5-2 in the second. Despite scoring more runs in the first game, senior Derek Francis thought the team performed better in the second game. "We had a lot more energy in the second game," Francis said. Francis pitched for the start of the first game, with senior Craig Berry coming in as a relief. "We came out flat," Francis said, "The defense wasn't up to the level that it has been all year." continued on page 6

I swallow it, and suddenly I taste ammonium hydroxide. Round One goes to McDonald’s. Round Two I start this time with the Burger King nugget. Though it’s an improvement over last time (the inside is a bit juicer), it’s not doing it for me. It looks like another win for McDonald’s is seconds away.

Student creates Deployment upsets regular lifestyle peer support group Some kids who currently attend Manhattan High lack a strong support group or just someone to talk to. Junior Nick Dyer is starting a support group for MHS students who seek support and a place to vent to others who will listen and provide advice. “The idea is to support the average teenager and help them navigate through the difficult waters of high school,” Dyer said. “It’s a confidential group and if you’re in it no one outside of the group will know.” Dyer said the point of this group is to provide a family-like atmosphere for students who seek it. He believes that starting this kind of group could help cut back on anger issues, stop depression among teens and make people feel wanted and accepted among their peers. This group is not just for kids with big problems or illnesses of some sort, it’s also for kids who just want to talk about things with peers instead of parents. Counselor Tony Wichmann said
a group like this can play a positive role in the high school experience by providing insight into individual student situations. “A group like this would provide the opportunity to be proactive to a situation,” he said. He has seen similar programs at other schools and has found that advice from peers can be very helpful and positive, whether it uses trained or untrained peer counselors. For those students who want to help others, Wichmann offers some advice. It’s important to be a solid listener, he said. “Don’t interject too many thoughts of your own into it,” Wichmann said. “Students are looking for more of a release than advice.” Dyer looks forward to using his experiences to help other MHS students. “You don’t have to have big problems to be in it,” Dyer said. “You just need to be a teenager. Everyone has to have support sometimes and it’s nice to have a group that’s understanding.” The group is currently deciding when it’s first meeting will be. Gigi Cohen, MHS counselor, is helping to sponsor the group.

Senior Ivy Calvert agrees that the dynamic of the household changes, especially since her father is the only male in her immediate family. “Our house is run completely different when he’s gone. It’s almost like having a single parent and there aren’t any boys around,” Calvert said. “When he’s on deployment sometimes my mom can’t make it to my events or awards because I also have a younger sister.” “I never get used to him leaving,” Goff said. “It’s also really hard on the rest of the family when a parent leaves for deployment.”
