ear Eagles, We made it! Another school year in the books. Congratulations! Freshman, some of you are about to complete your first year of high school. It may have been tough to adapt to the whirlwind that is high school, but you did it! Sophomores, you are halfway through your high school career; enjoy these last two years, they go faster than you would believe. We would know. As for the juniors, you are about to finish the most trying year of high school, tears may have been shed and words may have been said but you did it and that is

enough. Last but not least, seniors; we finally did it. It may seem surreal that we will be graduating in a few days’ time, it felt like just yesterday we walked through these halls for the very first time. But here we are with a kaleidoscope of memories of the past four years. As we move on to the next chapter of our lives, we will keep these memories as a reminder of all the late-night football games, spontaneous ice cream adventures, and jokes that made us laugh until our bellies ached.

We may move on from high school, but we will forever be eagles. Â Go Eagles!

Money Over Qualification Recently, many Ivy League Schools have admitted students to their schools based off of parents’ money and fake college requistes, rather than authentic students’ college resumes.

By: Claire Decatur | Staff Writer In March 2019, over fifty people were charged in the massive college cheating scandal. They were charged with offenses such as bribing colleges to accept their kids and cheating or lying to get in. Two of the most talked about celebrities involved in the scandal are actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.

Lori Loughlin, who stars in Full House and When Calls the Heart, and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli were arrested March 13th and were released on a one mil-

lion dollar bond. They were being charged with bribing the University of Southern California with $500,000 to let their two daughters Isabella and Olivia Giannulli to be accepted. The two girls were deemed as recruits of the USC crew team even though they never participated in the sports.

Another celebrity couple involved in the

scandal is Real Housewives Star Felicity Huffman and her actor husband William H. Macy. They were thought to have donated $15,000 to Key Worldwide Foundation but in reality, used it to help their daughters cheat on the SAT. Their two daughters, Sofia and Georgia, got their tests corrected after taking the SAT to get 400 extra points. Huffman was arrested and released on a $250,000 bail and March 12st.

As the seniors are getting ready to graduate and head to college we

“The two girls were deemed as recruits of the USC crew team even though they never participated in the sports.”

Design by: Andrea Martin | May 2019 | News | Issue 7 | The Chronicle got some of their opinions to see what they thought of the college scandal.

Loughlin and Huffman could possibly have some jail time, depending on how the trial unfolds. “It’s very extreme for them to go to jail but I think the students getting kicked out and a hefty fine is good enough,” said senior Will Funk. Lori Loughlin has already been punished as she is no longer allowed to star in Fuller House and any new Hallmark movies or shows.

Some sources say that some of the children had no idea their parents bribed colleges or cheated on tests. “I would like to believe Olivia Jade didn’t know but it looks very suspicious that she’s saying she had no idea they paid the college,” said Teacher Dustin Pence.

Loughlin’s two daughters Olivia and Isabella are no longer enrolled in USC. The oldest and most popular daughter, Olivia Jade, has lost many sponsorships and friends. “If one of my friends cheated to get into college I would be very mad.

I would definitely stop being friends with them,” said senior Deprise Lons, Most people agree that bribing and cheating to get into college is wrong and unfair to the other students attending the school.

“I would never cheat to get into college,” said Funk. “I worked hard all these years to get into a good college when they just paid because they’re rich,” he adds.

Olathe Norths college admission counselor Brionna Taylor stated that, “I think it’s unfair because there are students who worked harder and couldn’t get in to those schools. Its cheating your way in.”

As of now we don’t know what will happen to Loughlin and Huffman. There is a possibility they could go to jail for up to forty years. Huffman owned up to her actions and said she would accept the consequences. Loughlin and her husband have been saying they didn’t know it was illegal and are still saying they are not guilty.

Staff Polls:

We asked our staff some their opinion about the college admissions scandal and these are their responses:

Should parents use their money to help ensure that their child has a college career, even if their child isn’t qualified to be admitted to a school?

2 said yes, 12 said no Is it fair to other students who applied to these Ivy League schools to be rejected and have spots filled by other students who aren’t qualified to go to that school?

100%

all 14 said no

believe the college admission system that is in place should be changed or altered so a scandal like this one doesn’t happen again.

Looking to the Future By: Hayley Adams | Staff Writer

F

or seniors, the end of the school year can be a daunting time, as they have to make some of the biggest decisions of their lives.

For students who are attending college, one of the biggest decisions is what you choose to major in. There are countless majors for many different careers, but which ones can secure a job in the future?

Many, especially adults, say that some college majors are rather pointless and have bleak career prospects. According to the World Economic Forum, sixty-five percent of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that currently don’t exist.

If one is interested in a field of study, but there are little jobs available for after college, is it really worth spending thousands of dollars on a degree?

According to the World Economic Forum, sixty-five percent of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that currently don’t exist. Seeing statistics like these can make it hard to decide what to major in, because how do you know jobs in that field will even exist in the future. Brionna Taylor is a guidance counselor at Olathe North who helps many seniors decide what they wish to major in and what they should consider when deciding what field to study. “It’s very important to think about what careers are available for your major and to make sure you’re passionate about what you’re studying and ready to work hard,” Taylor says.

Taylor went on to say that many popular majors are engineering, education,

and medicine. She added that picking a major can be stressful, but that many students change their major later on in college.

Although many at Olathe North are not completely certain about what their major will be, some students have already been accepted into their colleges and know what they will be majoring in.

Senior Carter Hicks has recently been accepted into the University of Kansas and will be majoring in Atmospheric Science, a less common field of study. He says that his ideal career to have after high school is to be working for the National Weather Service.

“I have a lot of friends who are worried about the future and available jobs, but most of them are excited about college.”

“I have a lot of friends who are worried about the future and available jobs, but most of them are excited about college.”says Hicks. He added that the stress gets to everyone when applying to college.

Nursing is a more popular major. Kaitlyn Rupe is a senior who was recently accepted to Pittsburgh State, and will major in nursing. Rupe says that

she wants to be a neonatal nurse or a labor and delivery nurse after college.

“In 10 years, I want to be working in a hospital and hopefully married with one or two kids,” says Rupe. She also said that she feels confident majoring in nursing, because it’s a field that’s always in demand.

Allison Emry is also an Olathe North senior, who will be attending cosmetology school after high school. “My family wasn’t supportive at first. I’ve wanted to go to cosmetology school my whole life but was always discouraged until I became very passionate about it and now that I have a group of supportive friends,” Emry says.

Emry also went on to say that she won’t be going to traditional college so she will not technically have a major, but rather a specialized program that caters towards her passions. She also says cosmetology offers many different types of jobs. Some of these jobs include hair styling, makeup artistry, nail polish technicians, or even directing a facility that offers a cosmetology related field.

Although these students are not too worried about career prospects, other less popular majors require students to think about what job they actually want in the future if their field is shrinking. Brian Beach is a current senior, who will be studying journalism and political science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

“My ideal career for after college is to find untold stories that need to be revealed and present them in a way worth listening to, whether it be about high school sports, local politics,

Design by: Molly Duke | May 2019 | Senior Issue | Issue 7 | The Chronicle or global poverty.” Beach continued to say that journalism is known for its bleak career prospects, and is not anywhere near as high in demand for jobs as the medical field is. Beach says that bleak career prospects don’t discourage, but rather motivates him to succeed.

Beach went on to state that, “If 10% of jobs disappear, I’d better make sure to be in that top 90% of my field, and that does not sound too discouraging.”

There are many other post-

high school paths students can take rather than attending a traditional university that can lead to secure jobs, such as Johnson County Community College, or JCCC. Autumn Mesmer is a senior who will be attending JCCC, and does not have a major picked out yet and will start by taking general-ed classes.

“Yes, I’ve thought about a degree in library science so I could be a librarian and then write books on the side, or being an elementary school teacher because

that job is so creative.” Mesmer continued that she is also interested in astronomy and possibly working for NASA one day, or becoming a travel blogger. She stated that she is going into college without a major so that she can keep her options open.

In the end, students pursue many different majors. There are usually job opportunities in every major, but many counselors say it’s still vital to research the jobs in their field and make sure it’s something you would actually want to do.

From the Source Q: Where will you be attending college?

A: “I’m going to JCCC but I don’t have a major

picked out yet. I’m undecided so I’m probably just going to start with general classes.”

Q: What’s your dream career?

A: “Definitely travel blogger. I just love traveling and I want to explore every country before the world ends in 11 years, if we don’t get our crap together.”

Autumn Mesmer

Q: What college will you be attending and what will your major be?

A: “Gannon University to major in nursing.”

Q: What is your ideal career after college?

A: “Neonatal nurse practitioner or pediatric oncology nurse.”

Q: Are you worried about career prospects for your major?

A: “I’m not worried about not being able to find a job, be-

cause there is always a need for nurses and it is a growing field.”

Q: What college will you be attending and what will your major be?

A: “The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, studying journalism and political science.”

Q: What is your ideal career to have after college?

A: “My ideal career for after college is to find untold stories that need to be revealed and present them in a way worth listening to.”

Stranger Things

Stranger Things is inspired by the works of horror author, Stephen King and takes place in Hawkins, Indiana where a nearby laboratory conducts secret experiments into the paranormal and supernatural. Accidentally opening a portal to an alternate dimension known as “the Upside Down”, the laboratory has created catastrophic problems for the rural town in Indiana. The last season ended with Eleven being reunited with her family. What a happy ending, right? Well, if it is then there won’t be any need for another season! Well, the third season, called Strangers Things 3, comes out on July 24th.

The Handmaid’s Tale

The Handmaid’s Tale is a Hulu TV show based off of Margaret Atwood’s book of the same name. It follows a woman called Offred after a rise of a totalitarian government, Gilead causes the degradation of women’s rights. The Handmaids are simply to be vessels for childbirth in this new, dystopian society. The show is about Offred and her peers struggling for the rights that they deserve. In the last episode of season two, June decides at the last second to stay behind and give up her daughter.

The Handmaid’s Tale will be returning for its third season on June 5th.

Bachelor in Paradise

Taking a vacation to a secluded “Paradise”, the old fan favorites and the old drama queens of past seasons are single and ready to mingle. Chock-full of cute, exasperating, and unnecessarily dramatic moments, Bachelor in Paradise is sure to be interesting, if anything. The new seasons airs on July 29th.

Black Mirror

Black Mirror is an occasionally disturbing show set in the near future. Each episode sports different characters, a different plot, and different theories as to what could be caused by the development in today’s technologies. The last episode of Season 4, left audiences intrigued because it tied together the numerous seemingly unrelated plots of past episodes. Even with the recent release of the choice-oriented Black Mirror movie called Bandersnatch, the anthologic TV show is set to air its new season sometime in 2019, no exact dates have been announced as of yet.

he Olathe North girls swim team started off their first practice in the pool on February 24 with a new season and a new coach Jose Zamora who they met earlier in the year. “He’s a great coach and the girls and I love to tease him,” said Junior Leah Heeran.

“I joined Swim because I couldn’t do track and I knew some of the girls on the team,” stated Senior Jessamine Harris.

She competes in the butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle. “My favorite part of practice is being with all the girls. When it gets hard we all push each other,” exclaimed Harris.

“My favorite part of practice is when we work on starts and turns,” said Conder. This is her 4th year on the team and she is one of the Junior Varsity team captains. She does the 100 breast, 500 free, 200 free and 50 free. “My favorite event is the 100 breast. It comes natural to me and it’s something I can consistently stick with and improve on,” said Conder.

The girls don’t just prepare in the

pool, they prepare in many other ways. “For big meets I’ll normally Carbonate the night before to give me long lasting energy and drink lots of water,” said Conder. Heeren and Conder both said they’ll shave their arms and legs to help them too.

The team is ready to welcome more girls and would love for more to join.

“It many not seem like it at the time but at the end of the season it’s all worth it,” said Heeren, “You wont regret joining at all.”
