Obeying their owners all day Friday were twenty Sell-A-Seniors. They were running around for owner, they dressed in wacky costumes, they blared music, serenaded lunch crowds, and danced their way into the heart of the school getting the student body even more excited for homecoming. Sell-A-

Seniors have been a homecoming tradition for almost a decade. Several seniors are chosen and they volunteer to sell themselves to the student body as a fundraiser to help sponsor various events each year. This year the money is going towards Challenge Day which will be held in February. Owners not only had a senior at their beck-and-call for one day, but were also challenged to costume their senior up in blue and white. The best spirited senior earned a This year Sault High received a new freshman and sophomore free lunch for their creative efforts. This year’s winner was Ann Cunningham English teacher. Mr. Livingston Garland was born in Howell, Michigan and her owner Chelsea Zenker then later moved to Lansing, Michigan between his eighth and ninth grade year. As an only child Mr. Garland states that he enjoys the

attention from his parents, but would enjoy having a twin with his same likes. He decided to become a teacher, because he believed the degree was marketable. There are few professions that an undergraduate degree in the actual profession is required, teaching is one of them. While completing his student teaching in Katmandu, Nepal Mr. Garland decided to participate in a 10k through the Himalayan Mountains. The

participants were instructed to follow a trail of yellow dots on the ground,

which marked off the course, but Mr. Garland accidentally lost the dots and followed a path through the mountain instead. He realized he was lost when he came across a herd of about 20 yaks. After deciding to turn around and try to locate the dots again, he encountered some of his

friend who were also competing in the 10k. They were in last, he had Students took their blue and white clad bodies to the parade, football been in second.

he went on a spring break trip to Paris, France with his high school French club, he was 17 at the time. The group traveled around the city for a while sightseeing and doing many homestays. When it was time to

leave all of the students were on the plane except for Mr. Garland and a group leader, Mr. Garland gave his ticket to the woman who was taking

them only to be told his ticket was for three days in the future. The leader was able to call the travel agent and get the flight changed to the next day, but the leader’s ticket could not be changed so the leader

gave Mr. Garland 30 Euros and left for Michigan. He decided not to waste his extra day in Paris, so he took a taxi to the Louvre and spent all day in the museum, then slept in the airport. Mr. Garland brings many

more unique experiences and excellent knowledge to our school. Everyone appreciated the fan base on hand to cheer the Blue Devils to Victory! Rowdy Crowd banner waver Chad Piffer lead the charge. Junior Ben LaCrosse literally pushes past a Gladstone Brave as he made his way down the field.
