The Stock Market Game By B. Edward Michaels

Since 1977, the Stock Market Game has given educators a way to improve the learning ex- perience in thousands of classrooms. Mr. Michael Bauer has been using the game for the past 19 years to enliven core academic subjects – including Math, Economics, and Language Arts. The program also teaches and enforces essential skills and concepts such as critical thinking, decision-,making, cooperation, communication, research, saving and investing. Students who participate in The Stock Market Game start with a virtual cash account of $100,000, striving to create the best performing portfolio using live trading simulations. They work together in teams, building a portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds, practicing lead- ership, organization, negotiation and cooperation. Students research, evaluate and trade stocks, bonds and mutual funds from the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX exchanges; earn interest on cash balances; pay interest if buying on margin and pay a commission on all trades. To determine why certain stocks behave the way they do, or why the broader market has moved up or down, they need to understand how the economy works, and to calculate the returns they need to do the math. This year, all of Mr. Bauer’s Economics classes played the game for a 10 week period from February 8 to April 16. Rachael Kuhn and Emily Rush placed 4 th in the Region (York, Lancas- ter schools) with $118,521; Matt Bossalina and Ben Connor were 7 th in the Region with $114,694; and Victoria Blizzard and Don Giannini were 9 th with $111,734. 177 teams competed in the Region and there were 4,567 teams competing in the state. The 1 st place team in the Region compiled $129,037 and the winning team in the State turned $100,00 into $151,705 in 10 weeks. Congratulations to all who placed! Super Sophomores!

What It’s Like To Travel With Christian

Christian Xavier Torres is a sophomore here at HHS; he just transferred here a few months ago. His favorite hobby is to write, and he has been writing since last year. Christian has also been writing a book titled The Beaten Path . He played baseball when he was in the first grade and the eighth grade. He says, “That was a very bad experience, because in first grade my nose was broken and in eighth grade I was hit in the hip and thigh with a ball.” Christian moved back and forth from Puerto Rico to Daytona Beach, Florida from fourth to eight grade. After living in Florida for three years, he moved to York for six months and then to Hano- ver. He says he has moved here from York because of, “bad grades and bad influences.” Christian’s favorite colors are black and red; he likes the color red because it means love and passion, but it can also represent war and anger. He likes black “just because.” His favorite band is , but his favorite song is “I’ll Meet You There” by Owl City. In the future Christian wants to be a commercial pilot and eventually do private piloting. He also wants to be an author and his dream is to travel around the world. Artsy Victoria

Victoria Caroline Temple, a sophomore here at HHS, is pretty much that all-around fun person. Her primary interest is art and it is her favorite class too. She has recently been accepted into the Na- tional Art Honor Society. Her least favorite subject is science. She said, “When am I ever go- ing to need it in the future?” Victoria would like to go to a local four-year college, and has interest in being an elementary school art teacher. She played field hockey in middle school for two years. Her favor- ite things to do to pass time are to hang out with friends and go shopping or head out to the movies. Her favorite singers include Kesha, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. Her favorite song is “Your Love is My Drug” by Kesha. 2010 PA Model Legislature 13 By Kayla Kelly

On April 15, 2010, 14 students from Hanover High School travelled to Harrisburg to participate in the 2010 PA Model Legislature. The PA Model Legislature is a simulation of the lawmaking process of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The 2010 Model was sponsored by the York County members of the Pennsylvania House of Repre- sentatives: Will Tallman, Seth Grove, Ron Miller, Keith Gillespie, Scott Perry, Stan Saylor and Eugene DePasquale. Most of York Counties 18 school districts were represented with contingents averaging about 12 students. Prior to the simulation, students chose a political party to represent, and one of seven committees to be a member. Booklets were distributed to each student outlining such things as House Rules, House language and procedure, and summaries of proposed legislation followed by the wording of the actual bill. Upon arrival, a group photograph was taken in the House chamber; then, students and representatives moved to com- mittee rooms to discuss, debate and vote on the various bills. A working lunch ensued where Democrat and Republican caucuses continued to discuss the potential legislation they planned to bring to the floor. The afternoon session was held on the floor of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives where students sat in representatives chairs and de- bated and voted on the proposed legislation based on the rules of the House. Overall, all of the participants learned a lot from this experience. The 14 students who went on the trip to Harrisburg included: Adam Caler, Dion Hart, Devon Barnes, Emily Rush, Zac Woodall, Mike Hoffman, James McCullough, Cody Louthian, Peyton Watson, Cassie Balek, Ashley Brown, Ashley Carr, Rachael Kuhn, and Kayla Kelly. At the model legislature, I was the Democratic Chairman of the Finance Committee. As a result, I led the committee meeting regarding discussion on all bills proposed by that committee. I also was responsible for discussing those bills in the Democratic Caucus during lunch. Participation at the legislature varied to some who were really involved to those who sat back and listened. This ex- perience I was told by the legislators who attended was very similar to actual legislative sessions. All in all, it was a rewarding experience.

Induction Ceremony April 30th, 2010 16 KEY CLUB UPDATE By Ashley Brown

National Make a Difference Day On Saturday April 24 th administration, faculty, and stu- dents helped to clean up around Hanover High School. Nearly 25 people including: Key Club members, Interact Club members, and National Honor Society members helped to paint curbs, clean up around the campus, and plant a new Weeping Cherry tree. The day of service to the high school took place from 8:30 to 11:30 am and was truly a success. Thank you to all volunteers for your hard work and dedication to making a difference here at Hanover High School.

Millersville Ropes Course Twenty students from the High School Key Club attended a challenge ropes course at Mil- lersville University on Friday, April 23 rd . Two teams took on team building activities such as the “Bridge is Out.” This activity encourages students to work together to get from one island to an- other with only two small boards. Teamwork and creativity led the groups to successfully complete the challenge. All of the activities required the students to work together to complete a mission. While some activities may have required more thought than others, every challenge was completed successfully by the end of the day. Overall the group made connections with each other and learned to work more efficiently in order to complete tasks.

Toy Drive 2010

The Hanover High School has been working hard to give back to the community. From April 5 th to 16 th , the Key Club received 350 toys, 289 books, and about 200 dollars. All toys and books will be donated to the Trinity Toy Workshop in Hanover. The toys and books will be given to needy children during the winter holidays. Students who donated one book and one toy will see “The Blind Side” as a reward. Thank you to all who contributed to this great cause. Health Care Reform 17 By Christian Torres

The Health Care Reform signed and passed March 23, 2010, will cost $940 billion dollars over ten years in an attempt to recover our economy. Hence, health coverage will expand to 32 million Americans that are currently uninsured. The uninsured and self-employed will be able to purchase insur- ance and so will families whose income is below poverty level. Small businesses will have separate exchanges to purchase cov- erage, taking effect in 2014. However, all this money that will be paying for the less fortu- nate will have to come out of someone’s pocket. Starting in 2012, families making over $250,000 per year will have a 3.8 percent tax investment in their income. Tanning salons will also be paying a 10 percent excise tax for the uninsured. Some of the most important components of the bill include:

• Medicare will be closing the “donut hole” by 2020, meaning seniors will not have to pay full cost for their prescription drugs after there are not covered.

• Starting in 2011, seniors already in the “donut hole” will receive a 50 percent cut on brand name drugs.

• Medicaid will expand their coverage to childless adult in 2014, and families of four below poverty level will be included.

• The federal government will be paying full cost for newly eligible individuals though 2016.

• Illegal immigrants will not be eligible for Medicaid.

• Six months after enactment, children cannot be denied coverage by insurance companies.

• In 2014, no one with a pre-existing condition can be denied for coverage.

• Insurance companies have to allow children to stay in their parent’s coverage until the age of 26.

An updated estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) states that this re- form will reduce the deficit by $143 billion the first ten years and a whopping $1.2 trillion dol- lars the second ten years. In the end, let’s hope that the taxes are paid, just like the new laws require. It will be in- teresting to see how this all unfolds. 18 A Day in The Life of an In-Schooler By Cassandra Balek

Tyler Yohe: Obtain a welding degree and work on cars By Doug Leese Uh Oh, We Had A Spill By Adam Caler 25 On April 20, 2010, a Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank, due to an explosion and fire on an offshore platform, and started leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico. At first, 42,000 gallons of oil was leaking daily. But over the course of eight days, 200,000 gallons of oil is leaking daily now. BP, British Petroleum, owns the damaged rig off the coast of Louisiana, and must pay for all of the damages which will be in the billions of dollars. The BP stock market value has fallen sharply due to the oil spill. As BP struggled to cap the three plugs to stop the oil from polluting the gulf, they started to make progress days later. On May 4, engineers succeeded in cutting off the flow from one of the three leaks, with submersible robots, by placing a valve over the leak. On May 8, they lowered a 98-ton, four-story structure called a containment dome to the sea floor that was placed over the leak, capture the oil, and funnel it up through a rig to the surface where a ship will be waiting to contain it. Unfortunately, this technique failed as did the new mini dome that was tried days later. They have inserted a tube into the pipe where the oil is leaking and are hoping to plug the excess leaking oil with concrete by May 21. Many environmental concerns are presented with this leak. The dangers that it poses on the sea-life and the surrounding states’ shorelines and fragile wetlands may be irreparable. Dead dolphins, birds, and other sea-life have already been washed up on shore as well as tarballs. There is also now the threat of the oil getting into the Loop Cur- rent and affecting Florida’s coasts and possibly the Atlantic coasts as well. The thousands who lose jobs in the fishing and tourist industries may be eligi- ble for unemployment benefits and federal assistance thanks to recent legislation. How can you help?

On the girls’ Orange and Black Survey: 28 Paper or Online Version? By Casey Louthian Recently, the students, faculty, and staff of Hanover High School were asked to partake in a sur- vey to determine which version of the school newspaper is preferred. It was refreshing to find out that, in our ever-changing world of technological advancements and instant information, Hanover High School would like to stay true to tradition and keep our newspaper in its current format– the paper ver- sion. Through this survey, we also found out that many people would be immensely displeased if we were to change the format of the newspaper from paper to online; many wouldn’t bother to read it at all. Even if both formats were available, overall, most wouldn’t read both. Many people like to see their names in print, which is another factor that puts people in favor of the paper version. Online is fine, but somehow it doesn’t give the same effect as the paper version does. When something is online, often times it is only there for a little while and then it is gone. With the in- print paper version, people can hang onto their work for a lifetime. Again, it is refreshing to know that we Hanoverians are quite content with maintaining tradition. Thank you to all who participated in this survey; we appreciate your time and honest opinions. Of the 397 returned surveys the results are as follows:

1. If The Orange and Black were an online ONLY paper, would you read it? 102 Yes 279 No

2. How would you feel if the newspaper were converted from a paper publication to one that could ONLY be viewed online? A. 169 Indifferent B. 41 Happy C. 130 Not Happy D. 40 Outraged

3. If you had to choose formats of newspapers, which would you prefer? 290 Paper Edition 107 Online Edition

4. If both paper edition and online edition were available, would you read both? 116 Yes 267 No

5. Do you ever keep a copy of The Orange and Black as a souvenir of your high school years? 172 Yes 223 No

How Would You Feel If The Orange and Black Were an Online Only Paper?

Last month, Hanover ’s poet laureate Kate Brady featured the winning poems from the first annual Hanover Poet Laureate Poetry Contest on her website. She visited high school Eng- lish classes during National Poetry Month. Winners in the high school category were Joshua Cartwright, Garin Greenholt, and Madison Hoff. Congratulations!

Hufnagle Park

The name was innocuous enough---Hufnagle Park Like a Saturday morning children ’s program It was apt for a while; families would picnic together Sun bounced off the steel beams, as if to invite climb- ing And climb we would---until mom called for dinner Perfect. Magic. Youth. But Time---

Time will always convict the innocent. Hanover’s Poet Laureate, Kate Brady I visited Hufnagle Park today Yes, children were still playing Now amidst bands of refuse The slapdash quagmire of a flooded creek 2nd place: Garin Greenholt And needles The Bus Stop Doctors always assert “No child can love a needle ” Shivering, my legs shook uneasy I’m not so sure anymore I swear I saw the real-life Raggedy Ann While the Wind Whirled Shooting up behind the monkey bars To the East, the Sun slowly Rose And so did the World And those beams---they weren ’t glowing today People came from every which way At Hufnagle Park. Filling the seats beside me No, no I was not alone that morning The Cold Cracked Bench was not empty The only noise I could hear Was the Shrill of that Shaking Stop Sign And the only feelings I felt Were locked in my mind I see these people everyday And every morning it’s the same The Newspapers Shake, and the Coffee Spills, But no one knows my Name It’s a Normal thing, this Bench and I We’re a reoccurring thing that just happens… The Faces may change, but it doesn’t Matter I’m still Here, and I’m still Laughing 3rd place: Madison Hoff 31

Handshake

An endless, pointless rage against all- a dirt infested, artillery congested excuse for money and rule.

With tedious hours and countless days- mindless plugs, meaningless hugs set on repeat for all to watch.

Where light never shines until silence mocks- bashing cries, determined lies between all borders of truth.

The Handshake at the end means Nothing.

On Monday, May 9, several Hanover High School students competed as finalists in the Fourteenth Annual Poetry Contest held at Reader’s Café. Finalists selected to read their poetry were Matthew Kline, Tommy Link, Wes Reichart, Alex Daubert, Nicole Sample, and Zach Thompson. Of these finalists, Nicole Sample’s poem “Anxiety Disorder in the Afternoon” placed second and Zach Thompson’s poem “A Few Simple Tasks” placed third. The English Department is proud that, once again, Hanover High’s poets received recognition for their writing talent.
