NEWS

AND A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

WY’EAST A HIGH SCHOOL? Here’s something you might not know: Wy’east used to be a high school! Wy’east High School started running in 1951 and converted into Wy’east Middle School in 1970. When this happened all the students were transferred to the new Hood River Valley High School. Now, as you all know we have our famous Wy’east hand clap. Back then we had a chant, and it went like this… “From mountains gorged by glaciers to Columbia surging main, lies a valley we love dearly and its fruited hills and plains. And between its flanking ramparts, tree cov- ered west and east, stands our school and all its glory. We hail your name Wy’east!” When it was a high school, the principal’s name was Ben Forsythe and the superintendent was George Corwin. If you want to see how the kids looked back then, check out http://www/videas.net/wyeast and you can learn more. If you didn’t know that Wy’east used to be a high school, now you do.

What Subjects In School Do Students Like Most?

Although there are several classes you might like in school, everyone has a favorite. Whether it’s because you like the subject, the teacher, or just what you’re doing in class at the time, you always have a favorite. You may even like more than one, and it’s sometimes hard to choose! Electives are always fun, but if you had to choose between your other classes what would be your favorite? I asked some people in Mr. Sacquety's journalism class and got some interesting answers and comments. I gave them the options of math, reading, language arts, social studies, science, Spanish, and PE. I lowered it down to the two favorites, science and social studies. Then, I surveyed again and ninety percent of the students said science over social studies. Here are some comments from the students.

Why do you prefer science? Emma Laney : “Because I think it’s more interesting and I like the way Mr. Danforth teaches.” Christina Telles: “ I think it’s pretty cool learning about science and having fun at the same time.” Jovan Ontiveros: “ Because it’s easy, and you don’t do as much as you do in social studies.”

SHORT STORIES

The Story of Mr. and Mrs. Wash Your Hands A long, long time ago (about a month ago) in the kingdom of Goodwill, there lay two castles of Wash Your Hands and Toiletries. The king of Wash Your Hands was named Sir Wash Your Hands and the queen of Toiletries was named Soap. The two king- doms deeply hated each other and wanted to destroy each other, but the wizards of each kingdom created a magical spell that made the king and queen love each other. They then got married, and for the king and queen’s honeymoon they visited Mr. Sacquety’s classroom. But they got stuck in his classroom, so they will never be able to leave the terrors of his classroom. When one of them leaves with a student, they see and feel the hor- rors of the real bathroom and getting plunged to death!

One has never tried it, while everyone else loves it, aside from the two that think Nutella is only okay. Nutella is made of chocolate and hazelnut. Lots of people eat it with toast or other foods, but then some prefer to eat it with utensils. Did you know that Nutella originated from Italy? If you love Nutella you have to go there!
