It is known as the Outstanding Young “Root Word[s] of the Week”. The ostensible arbitrariness of the initiative has left students curious, indifferent, or sometimes dubious.

SARAH continued fron page 1

Sarah has remained exceptionally well rounded throughout high school. She is a member of the TV Studio and Leo Club, and the secretary of Student Council and The National Honor Society. Her favorite classes include Publications and AP English with Mrs. Texter. Sarah also spends her time volunteering at her church and the Hamburg Library. Instead of becoming overwhelmed or stressed with such a busy schedule, Sarah has decided to tackle life one day at a time and go with the flow. She can not only attribute her success in high school to her impressive organizational and time management skills, but also to her parents and Mrs. McCarthy for always encouraging her to do her best. Sarah explains that her mother is a very inspirational figure in her life because of the fact that even though she has MS, she refuses to let it affect her. Sarah defines success as “doing what you love, because if you’re happy, you’re successful.” This mantra is very evident in Sarah’s life. She hopes to attend Hofstra University and double major in journalism and dance. In ten years she sees herself living in New York writing for a newspaper or magazine. Sarah loves attending school at Hamburg. Some of her favorite memories include football games, pep rallies, and the lockdown during her freshman year when she was able to watch Phineas and Ferb in Mrs. Palerino’s room. Sarah’s friends describe her as passionate, caring, hardworking, driven and kind.

These figures equal the consumption of about 45 slices of pizza per person to the person they are talking with. Just like the new IPhone 6, the watch also features a in the U.S. each year.

It has kept the same things, and just enhanced them a little bit. Another feature is called Quick type, the person can type a word and then on the bottom a screen will pop up to try and match the word that the person is typing. Over all I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the new IPhone. There are tons of cool features like the finger print security. In IOS 8 has tons of new features likea Healthkit, Quicktype, and iCloud drive. For people that have the newest IPhones, IPads, or IPods, they will have a lot of exciting new things to explore.

This season, the team hopes to perform just as well, even with the loss of a large senior class last year. The face of a soccer team is often its goalie or keeper. Hamburg’s keeper is Bailey Berger. Bailey is a lifelong athlete, having played soccer for more than 12 years. He has played some phenomenal games, keeping the team from losing some key games.

Hinata says that school in Japan started at 8:30 am, so it is much earlier here for her to get up, which was an adjustment for her. Back home, she went to an all-girls private school in middle school, so coming to a mixed public school was kind of scary to her, especially since her Japanese high school required them to wear a uniform. The classes that she Kyra Neff: Art Student in the spotlight had while living in Kyoto, Japan were similar to the classes in America, except that she says they did not have elective courses such as drawing and baking like Hamburg High Brea Lesher – 9 does. Even though she likes living in America and experiencing new things, she says that what she misses most is Natto, which is a traditional Japanese dish made from soybeans. Drawing has been a second nature to Hinata’s first American food was a hotdog, and since trying that, she has learned that Kyra since she was just a little girl.

Mr. Zimmerman states, “The school the field of carpentry. really hasn’t changed that much. The biggest difference is that we didn’t have the A few things that technology.” As technology is not always everyone’s best friend, it is an improvement. Mason does not like is One of the best improvements in technology at the high school is not the laptops, how little spare time it but is the Promethean boards. “I think that the Promethean boards are much allows him to have. As better than the chalk boards, I believe it helps with the student’s education.” well as attending BCTC, Speaking of education, of course it was important in earlier years and is still he also has to complete important today, however Mr. Zimmerman as well as his fellow classmates were his normal high school exempt from the Keystones because they were not mandated when he was in school. homework and focus “I wouldn’t ever say that school is harder now. We just didn’t have all the testing that on soccer. Attending you guys have,” said Mr. Zimmerman. He also admits that times were just different BCTC means that he which means different disciplinary issues and how they were all handled. has his core classes Cell phones and earbuds did not exist 25 years ago. They were only starting to then leaves which come out. Therefore there was no reason for the teachers to worry about giving out gives him no study halls detentions to the students caught with cell phones or other electronics. Also 25 years which would be beneficial in his circumstances. With how little time he has, Mason is still ago, as detentions, in school suspensions and out of school suspension did exist, managing to get all his work done. and so did corporal punishment. Corporal punishment is when kids are physically punishment by whippings, hair pulling, and paddling. Mr. Zimmerman recalls seeing a girl being pulled by her hair down the hall way because she gave the teacher attitude. Now corporal punishments are illegal because it is viewed as child abuse. Mr. Zimmerman played sports all throughout high school. He was involved in soccer, football, basketball and baseball. Mr. Zimmerman was able to play soccer and football during the fall because he was a kicker for football while the soccer season was ongoing. Once soccer was over, he was the defensive back for the football team. Since Mr. Zimmerman was so involved in sports, he did not do much else. Other than sports, Mr. Zimmerman focused his time on homework and his family. During high school, Mr. Zimmerman knew that he wanted to be a fighter pilot, but he also knew he did not have the grades for it. To be accepted as a fighter pilot, straight A’s are needed, and while Mr. Zimmerman did not have straight A’s. He did get A’s and B’s on his report card. Since Mr. Zimmerman knew that he was ineligible to be a fighter pilot, after (he graduated from Hamburg Area High in 1990) he went to college and majored in prelaw and political science, and in his junior year, realized that what he was majoring in was not his calling. He later was recruited into the Air Force where he served his term and when he was released, he went on a trip to Gettysburg and realized that he wanted to teach history. Mr. Zimmerman then went to Kutztown University to finish his teaching degree and was hired at Hamburg Area High School as a Civics teacher. “When I first started at Hamburg there were a number of teachers who were still teaching from when I was a student. At first it was odd and uncomfortable, but I got used to it. Mr. Bickleman, Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Weiss are the only remaining teachers from my days. They are a group of great guys and I am very proud to work alongside them,” said Mr. Zimmerman.
