The winter season was very exciting for the Nighthawks. The Hanover High School winter sports’ teams worked hard all season and improved throughout. Our district was represented well throughout the season as well as in the post-season. So before we dive headlong into spring let’s take a look back at what transpired during the winter sports sea- son here at HPSD.

Girls’ Basketball Our varsity girls’ basketball team has put in much effort this year. They have had to battle through many obstacles, including a shortage of players. They were under the gun early this season. Not having a coaching staff in place since last school year the team was behind other area programs that had been honing their skills through the summer and fall months. The team was coached by first year head coach Jim Abbott. Many girls had to play both junior varsity and varsity this season. The girls fought hard in each game. The Hawkettes had two wins on the season, both coming against Fair- field. They won each of these games by more than ten points. They played well as a team and were able to beat the Lady Knights. The girls had a very young team, including mostly sophomores with a few seniors and juniors, as well. They also had a few freshmen playing either junior varsity or varsity. The girls were able to make the District Playoffs, however, they fell to Wyomissing in the first round. Seniors on the team included Ali Baublitz, Devon Barnes, Jen Brewington, and Karalee Nichols.

Wrestling The varsity wrestling team had a very young team under new head coach Neal Dut- terer and had a team record of 8-13. One of the Hawks high moments came when they defeated Delone Catholic, 37-35. This was a really intense match that the Hawks were able to come out on top in. A few wrestlers put up very impressive records. Tyler Yohe led the way this season with an overall record of 19-5 but fell one win short of qualifying for District 3 competition. Sophomores Zack Martin and Derek Wolford both finished third in Sectionals and advance to District 3 Champi- onships. Zack finished the season with a record of 18-9, while Derek finished with a team high 22 wins and a record of 22-6. They have many sophomores starting for the team, so in the years to come the future indeed looks bright for Hanover wrestling. Seniors on the team included Kevin Tomayo, Tyler Yohe, Billy Heltzel, and Brandon Wagaman.

Other Athletes Two independent athletes also put their skills on display representing Hanover. Junior Cody Shoemaker qualified, again, for the District 3 Bowling Championships, and finished in 14 th place overall. Freshman, Zach Miller, took his talent to the pool where he was one of only three freshmen to qualify for District competition in the 100m where he set a personal best time of 51.91 seconds.

It was truly an exciting winter for Nighthawk Nation, beating Delone a total of four times, winning championships, and qualifying for District competition, all while maintaining a tradition of class and respect. Thanks to all of our athletes, coaches, and fans for a memorable winter season, we can hardly wait to see what the spring may bring to Nighthawk Country.

Let’s Get Saving With Sarah!

Sarah Elizabeth Hammond, a junior here at Hanover High School, is an outgoing, fun loving, extremely spirited girl. Sarah is everywhere and anywhere when it comes to school functions and has a closet full of clothes for spirit week. One of her favor- ite accessories in that fashionable closet is a Hello Kitty ring that she got off of a cupcake. When asked what she does in her spare time she laughed and said, “What spare time?” Her activities include goal keeping on the varsity field hockey team, mid-distance in track and field, and indoor field hockey. Sarah is proud to announce that she has made 180 saves in field hockey, and by the end of the season next year, she has made it a goal to make 200 saves.

Over The Hill and From Missouri!

Billy Lee Hill, a junior here at HHS, is big into sports and knows what he wants to do with his life. Billy lived in Norwood, Missouri from the time he was born up until fifth grade. He moved here to Hanover with his family but has gone back and forth from Hanover to Missouri mainly over the years because his family got homesick. In Billy’s spare time, he likes to hang out with friends or his girlfriend. He also prac- tices after school for either football or basketball. He has been playing basketball for as long as he can re- member. He has been playing foot- ball since fifth grade, and he played baseball up until his freshman year. Since Billy is into sports, he doesn’t watch much TV, but he is interested in coun- try music, especially if it is by Jason Aldean. Billy wants to get into a local trade school for welding or get a scholarship for a sport and go to a four-year college. 11 Jolly, Jolly Jaide!

Love’s Absence The Bloom By Michael Daniel By Ashley Lawyer

So many in a room You were the sun So many chances to bloom, The moon and the stars

You were a comet The pressure rises inside your chest My Venus and Mars You see your loved one

And your heart leaps out of your chest, You were the universe

And I was a man This feeling is painful You took me in Yet sweet and free And our love began This is where we are supposed to be

My heart was gold The people stare And your love was sweet The other’s dance You promised we wont fold, This is your last chance My life complete For real romance

A beautiful girl Good luck to your love, So amazing and fun Tonight is the night, I would have never known Go make a beautiful sight. That you shot like a gun

Our days went by I grew to believe Without you I’d die And my heart with me

Though eventually it happened And I cried a sea I always had wondered If you thought of me

And now I sit here Did You Know? April is National I’m grateful and free Poetry Month! It has been You found love again But my heart’s…not with me since 1996! 14 Prediction Differences Amongst The Groundhogs By Meghan Royston As Groundhog Day rolled around on Tuesday, February 2, 2010, some groundhogs saw their shadows, but some did not. Though Punxsutawney Phil and Dover Doug saw their shadows and claim there is going to be six more weeks of this frigid weather, that wasn’t the case with other groundhogs. York’s Poor Richard and Mount Wolf’s Susque- hanna Sherman predicted that there will not be more of this winter weather. The groundhog from New York, Staten Island Chuck, failed to see his shadow and predicts that there will be beautiful flowers. Breaking that tie in the end, the conclusion was that there will not be six more weeks of winter.

On Monday, March 1, 2010, seniors Carley Muntz and Brittany Weckesser completed the re- quirements to graduate from the HACC Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) Training Program. These two aspiring nurses, along with students from South Western High School, were required to attend 104-hours of class work, plus a 4-day clinical at the Homewood at Plum Creek Retirement Community in Hanover. Upon successful completion of the necessary exam through the State of Pennsylvania, both students will be licensed Certified Nursing Assistants.

The purpose of this course is to provide the long-term care nurse aide trainee with a basic level of knowledge and skills needed to care for an elderly resident/client as set forth by the profession of nurs- ing and regulated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This program is offered in both the fall and spring to seniors at Hanover High School. Congratulations to Carley and Brittany on all of their hard work!

Intro To Manufacturing

On Wednesday, January 20th, Troy Schrum and Tyler Yohe, along with their "Band of Brothers" from South Western High School, impressed a record crowd of business leaders at a Hanover Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Troy and Tyler had recently completed the Introduction to Manufacturing course, offered through HACC-Gettysburg, during the fall semester to Hanover High School seniors. Both students displayed their knowledge and leadership- congratulations Troy and Tyler!

The Introduction to Manufacturing Program (ITM) is a collaboration between the Hanover Chamber, HACC-Gettysburg, local businesses and local schools. ITM educates students about to- day's business environment and career pathways that exist in manufacturing. The students com- plete 5-weeks of coursework, followed by 10-weeks of on-site learning within local businesses, fol- lowed by more coursework. Students earn high school credit and may choose to take the course for college credit as well.

Troy and Tyler would like to thank not only the Hanover Chamber and HACC, but also the following businesses for their participation in this program: Elsner Engineering Works, Leonhardt Manufactur- ing, McClarin Plastics, R.H.Sheppard, Snyder's of Hanover, SKF, and Utz Quality Foods, Inc. Birds of Play 17 By Chelsea Hatch

At the beginning of the year, a group of students from Mrs. Smith’s speech class were asked to come together with Mr. George Matthew in a production for elementary students throughout Hanover. These “Birds of Play” focused on two different stories that each taught a valuable lesson about being who you are. The Birds of Play went to Clearview, Hanover, and Washington Street Elementary schools to perform. After performing for them, each participating student went backstage with the elementary students and spoke to them about the performances and what they learned. All in all, the Birds of Play was a success. Both students and teachers were happy with the performances and would love to see them continue in the years come.
