Each student had the opportunity to ask questions about Dougherty or his sculptures. For about an hour, the students got to help tidy up the sculpture and intertwine twigs into the sculpture.

Dougherty has made dozens of sculptures all over the world

his next one is planned for South Carolina.

His sculptures are created with dogwood, and he receives the branches from woods that need thinned out in the city or town he is working in.

Theron Wilson (’05) signed a year-long contract to play with the Super League in Simferopol, Ukraine.

Wilson talked about his new career and how he reached his goals though email conversations from half-way around the globe.

career but he credits himself for his determination and success.

While many people had given Wilson useful advice, he said he trusted himself to use the words of wisdom to his advantage.

“I don’t think I am the only one that made me who I am today, but I will say this. I was the one who chose to listen to those who were giving me great advice throughout my life to make it where I am at to this day,” he said.

“I could have chosen not to listen to those that were giving me advice and become something that I’m not today. So I semi (partially) think I self-made my success but

also know that it took a whole lot from others to help me along this path of success.”

Wilson says he does what he does for his family; they are a major reason for his drive.

The highlight of his basketball career was allowing his grandmother the opportunity to see him play collegiate basketball before her passing as well as signing a letter of intent to a Division 1 school and a professional contract.

“I never thought that basketball would take me this far, but I knew that it would teach me a whole lot about life and things to do and not

with hard work and dedication to this sport I knew if I followed that formula that it would pay off in the long run.”

Wilson has played basketball since he was 4 years old. He played varsity on the Highland Park state championship team in 2004, and the second place team in 2005.

Wilson set track records and played on the Scot soccer team as well.

at Seward County Community College in Liberal for two years

University in Peoria, Ill. and graduating in 2009 with a degree in communication-advertisement, with a minor in marketing.

Even though Wilson considers basketball fun and loves his career he does consider professional basketball work.

“Labor you are being paid for is work,” he said.

Right now he’s trying to adjust to living in a new country.

While playing basketball is a joy, Wilson has to deal with challenges such as language when playing for a team that speaks mostly Russian.

Some players speak what Wilson likes to refer to as “chops” which is understandable but broken English. Wilson is learning Russian, but he knows enough to get by.

There are entirely too many differences from home, but language is the biggest, he said.

Wilson hopes to get scouted and

USAIn the United States families gather around the kitchen and cook. Then they gather at the dinner table. On Dec. 24 they open one present and put up their stockings. Early in the morning of Dec. 25 the little kids wake up and run to the Christmas tree to open the rest of their presents.

Mexico In Mexico they celebrate the “posadas” in which is a religious ceremony in which they reenact the search for shelter by Jo-seph and Mary before the birth of Jesus. They go from house to house and carry

the end of the night they go to someone’s house and have a gathering where there is food and drinks and kids play around.

France

Puerto Rico In Puerto Rico they have Las Parrandas which is celebrated by going to one party after another at different people’s houses. There is music, food and dancing. The music includes instruments like

maracas and guirro. From Dec. 16 to Dec. 23 they have Aginaldo Masses where they go carol-ing and eat breakfast. The masses start at 5 a.m. A big holiday is Three Kings Day (Jan. 5) where children set out shoe boxes full of grass to feed the camels of the three Kings. They are left a gift in exchange.

In the Philippines they have a religious mass called “Misa de Gallo,” which continues for nine days Dec. 15 -24. Mass begins at four in the morning. It is said that if you attend all nine masses in a row on the last day you ask for something it will come true. People stay up all night and open presents at

all across the country.

In France they have the traditional carols and trees. One difference is children put out shoes instead of stockings. Like all countries they have presents. Now who brings the presents is a different story his name is Pere Noel which means Father Christmas. They also have traditional dishes, one of which is called a yule log. It is a chocolate cake with frosting.

In Columbia they have a Novena which is Dec. 16 to Dec. 24 where they have food music and mass. There is no Santa Clause there. It is the Nativity ( baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph) that brings the presents.

Mrs. Irma Labrador, ELL teacher, brings culture into the classroom by providing a project that opened up their view on the world.

Each student was required

and present a report of the culture in that country.

“ We were studying the unit Land and People. In that unit was the chapter about cultures. I had them research the country they picked or was assigned,” said Labrador.

On Nov. 12, Labrador, hosted the students

presentations. The variety of countries spread from all over the world, places such as Canada, Portugal, Puerto Rico, to Columbia.

Freshman Monica Gonzalez said, “I chose Columbia because I like how they dress and I wanted to learn more about their activities like their traditional dances. My favorite is Guabinas .”

Each student had to present their country in an oral presentation in front of the class and teacher. After presenting their projects, they went into the hall where other students got to look at

the project. “To make the project more

presentable and attractive I had my students dress up,” said Labrador.

The presenters had to dress up and represent the country. The females had to wear a dress and the males a suit or slacks and nice shirt. The students who watched in the hall had the opportunity to ask questions about the country and why it was chosen.

The main idea of this project was to improve their language skills by presenting orally.

“By researching, their

vocabulary improved because when you read you learn more and become more literate in the English language,” said Labrador

Many of the students enjoyed the project.

“The project gave us a chance to learn about new cultures besides our own,” said Freshmen Monica Morales.

They will have many more major projects coming soon. One of them is a how-to, which includes recipes from different countries.

Caleb Roberts is a student you can depend on to do what needs to be done. He comes to class ready to work and doesn’t waste time. Caleb takes the initiative to make sure his work is done correctly and is willing to help others around him if they need it. He is a pleasure to have in class.

Cody Wolf shows initiative both in and out of the classroom. He is helpful to his classmates as well as to others. He comes prepared everyday to begin class, and when he is given an assignment, he will begin working on it immediately and continue through until the bell rings. Cody also shows initiative by participating in class and by asking questions when he is not sure how to do something.

Trey Sanders is a student that leads the right way, by example. He is very attentive in the classroom, adds input and insight to discussions and is through in his endeavors. It is a pleasure to have Trey in the classroom, and we, as teachers, appreciate everything he does to help and provide guidance to others.

Jessica Ramsdell is quick to help others in need, provide guidance and to lead others in a given task. Jessica is a true example of a student that has initiative in getting what needs to be done completed.

Hoops Classic was held Dec. 3-5 bringing teams from six different states to compete.

The Runnin’ Scots were the number one seed going into the tournament, but faced stiff competition, and ended up taking third.

Nearly all of the teams in the tournament had 20 or more wins last season.

the Scots was against Abraham Lincoln High from Council Bluffs Iowa. The Scots defeated them easily 61 to 38.

The next game was not as easy. The Scots took

“I have high expecta-tions,” Ogles said. “The standards are already high so we have to get close to that. I feel we did well in the tournament.”

“We could of done bet-ter. We just had too many mistakes. That caused us the game,” he said.

The Runnin’ Scots have faced some challenges with changes to the team roster.

Just a few weeks before the tournament, senior starter Rico Richardson transferred to Chicago.

About the same time a newcomer, Shelton Baird, the son of the girls bas-ketball coach Bill Baird, arrived from Arkansas hoping to join the Scots.

He received a write-up in the Topeka Capi-tal Journal, where was

described as an “All-Class 7A basketball pick” who averaged 25.8 points last season at Springdale, Ark.

He was deemed ineligible to play during the tournament, however, and returned to Arkansas shortly afterward where he rejoined his former team.

With Richardson leav-ing this forces the team to bring out new leaders.

Senior Jalen Boyd (6-4), a Topeka High transfer is a new face on the team and has earned a starting spot on the varsity team.

He is joined by Topeka-West transfer Jharee Fisher (6-4) and sopho-more Damion Hunt (6-5)from Columbia, Mo.
