On the other hand, the 190 Republican votes were divided between five candidates. Since we have taken the survey, however, several candidates have dropped out of the race. At the time of our election, however, the results were as PANTHERETTE This Article is soo Lit Olivia Roth ‘17 I do not understand today’s language. When scrolling down my always captivating and intellectual Facebook news feed or clicking through Snapchat stories that are never vapid, I find myself encountering a strange, cryptic language. I discover phrases such as “It’s lit” and wonder if they are partying or battling a fire: who knows? Furthermore, what classifies a time as “Lit”? Growing up, the only lit objects I knew about came with the title of “Literary Book.” Example of the colloquial usage of Lit: “Yo my home dawg, that party was sooo lit last night. A total rager.” Not only may lit refer to a totally tubular time, I have re- cently been informed that lit acts as an abbreviation for “Literally.” Example: “OMG, that is lit me! Isn’t that adorbs?” Another perplexing word is “Turnt.” I believe turnt is an ad- jective, but I am not entirely sure. Example: “Sup boi, we r so turnt!” However, I believe it may also be used as a verb. Example: I was turntin’ up so hardcore last night. One night at work, a coworker approached me with a ques- tion that confuses me to this day: “Yo Olivia, what’s good?” How does one respond to that? Do I explain everything not-bad in my life? Was he just simply asking “What’s up?” But then again, even “What’s up” is confusing. What exactly is “up”? Regardless of the exact meaning of his question, my ultimate response was “Jerry, I don’t speak that lan- guage. How are you?” Today’s colloquial expressions are an entirely new language. Some other phrases I enjoy are “Bruh you are are phat,” “Dangg that cheeseburger costs an arm and a leg,” “Fo dizzle mah nizzle,”“Yo homie G, you da boss,” and “You the real OG.” In any case whatever the latest meme is affecting the vernacular, I just don’t think I will able to keep up.

BUCKS AND THE PRINTING PRESS FOR THE PUBLISHING OF OUR NEWSPAPER! Mrs. Williamson Mitchell Moyer ‘19 Mrs. Williamson is one of the many teachers you see hustling around the hallways of our high school. She helps many students learn every day. Mrs. Williamson never thought that she would end up as a teacher. However, after she graduated from high school, she went to a community college for business, but she fell in love with learning. “I can’t exactly tell you what changed, but I found myself wish- ing I was the instructor more than the student!” What made you want to become a teacher? “I never envisioned that I would be a teacher. I was not a great student, and I really struggled to succeed. After high school, I went to a community college for business and quickly fell in love with learning. I can’t exactly tell you what changed, but I found myself wishing I was the instructor more than the student! I ended up following through with my degree in business and worked for a year in marketing before I made the [scary] decision to go back to school and change careers. It was a hard decision and it took a lot of time and dedication, but I can honestly say that I have never looked back.” What subject do you teach and why? “I am a learning support teacher, so my job changes every year. This year I am working more in study support and job skills training.” Where did you go to school? “I graduated from Minisink Valley High School in 2001 - Go Warriors!” She also obtained the following degrees: Associates Degree in Business Administration from Suny Orange Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Marist College Certification in Elementary Education from West Chester University Certification in Special Education from Immaculata University” How many years have you taught at SV? “I have been with SV since 2009. I started out subbing at all three schools, and was then hired as a building sub for the middle school. I started at the high school full-time as a learning support teacher in 2013.” A Little More Information: Mrs. Williamson currently lives in the Gilbertsville area, within the Boyertown School District. She resides with her husband, John, a computer and business teacher at Upper Perkiomen High School, and her two young sons, Wes ,who is four and Owen who is already one. When asked about her attitude and philosophy about life, Mrs. Williamson explained that she is a strong believer in positive thinking: “You are the only person who has control of how you feel, perceive life, and behave towards others. When you approach obstacles in a positive way, life becomes more enjoyable; bumps in the road become less over- whelming, and you will find a network of people who add joy to your life. PAGE 3 PANTHERETTE Where Are They Now? Bailey Miller ‘17 Schuylkill Valley is the birthplace of many great minds. It is a small school that is filled with opportunity, and because of that students gain an experience that allows them to feel confident about their future. Recently, Pantherette decided to find out what some of our past graduates lives are up to in their post SV lives. Claire Spencer ‘15 is currently at Kutztown University studying to become an elementary school teacher. She is a founding sister of the newest sorority on campus, Delta Phi Epsilon. Her sorority works with organizations such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. She works for the campus in the Connections Freshman Orientation Program. Amanda Jacoby ‘15 started working at the Ashley Furniture as the first female router operator right after graduation. She has just bought her first home and plans to open her own floriculture business on the side since she went to BCTC for horticulture. Kyle Latshaw ’15 is currently at Penn State Berks as a secondary Education and Mathematics major. He plans to transfer to University Park in the near future. As for goals, Kyle wants to be a math teacher and is hoping he will pass Calculus III and Matrices. Rachael Borden ’15 is an English Education major at Messiah College. She is involved in Cross Country, Track and Field, and is a bible study leader. She hopes to make the Dean's List throughout college, something she had achieved for the first semester.

Every year for her “kid” birthday party, she asks for donations for a charity instead of birthday gifts. She has do- nated food and supplies to her local humane society and a local wildlife rescue organiza- tion. Last year she chose DFD for her charity! Her family was thrilled when she asked for dog toys and treats on her party in- vitations. After the party, they boxed up the goodies and mailed them to us for the dogs in training. We excitedly opened the box of toys and treats, and the dogs were thrilled with them! It is especially heartwarming to see someone this young who is so generous and anxious to help. Katie is obviously a dog lover, and we are very grateful for her special help. Her dona- tions help the dogs succeed in training and go on to fulfill their mission in life. Thank you McLoughlin Bulldogs! Thank you to the McLoughlin Bulldogs, Team 81, from McLoughlin Middle School in Medford, Oregon. They sent us a box of toys and treats for our dogs, along with a holiday card that included some of the following special notes from the kids: “Thank you for what you do.

The daffodils, beaten down yesterday, stand tall and proud once again and the bird song is deafening - surely now the wettest, windiest winter ever is behind us and our spirits can soar with the rising sun. A very happy task at this time of year is that of choosing our Young Volunteer of the Year 2015. We have 480 young volunteers, 151 of them are helping us as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award. With great difficulty, we drew up a shortlist of eight and with even more difficulty a winner emerged - Zara Werner from Kent, her view appears later in the newsletter but from our prospective she stood out. Zara has been walking for us for over four years for three different owners. Her current charges are Candy (8) Westie, and Toffee (6), Yorkie whose mum, Maureen Sharp , is absolutely delighted at Zara's award. Maureen says that Zara's twice weekly walks with Candy and Toffee have enabled her to keep her two beloved dogs which mean the world to her. She says the dogs adore Zara and she has come to look upon Zara as a surrogate granddaughter. Maureen is so proud of Zara for completing her Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award as well as receiving our own accolade.
