Homecoming

Jocularity!

The 2013 homecoming was

the best one Central Lake has had in

a long time. It all started with our

spirit week. Monday was Pajama

Day, Tuesday was Twin Day,

Wednesday was Hipster Day,

Thursday was Superhero Day, and

Friday was Orange and Blue Day.

The seniors finally landed in first

place with a score of 52%, there

was a tie between the eighth and

seventh graders for second and third

with 50%, the sixth graders came in

fourth with 48%, the juniors came

in fifth with 47%, the sophomores

came in sixth with 44%, the fresh-

man unfortunately came in last with

35%, and the teachers had 29% for

the week.

The next biggest thing that

happened was the powder puff

game. Seniors and sophomores vs.

juniors and freshmen. Both teams

played their hearts out to win the

game. We don’t have any stats for

this game as in who made how

many touchdowns or field goals but

we do know the final score, 22 to 21

juniors and freshmen. The seniors

and sophomores were winning in

fact by quite a bit but then lost it in

the second half due to “clock prob-

lems” and the juniors and freshmen

ended up winning.(continued on pg.

doesn’t always come easy!

Barry and King William Brockman. Congratulations!


Homecoming Continued

After school on Friday we had our

homecoming parade. We had all

the sports teams towards the front

of the line followed by our repre-

sentatives. For the freshmen class

we had Eddie Boh and Maddison

Barrett, the sophomores had Tyler

Hoffman and Alexys Michaels, the

juniors had Alan Szoka and Carris-

sa Boni, and then following them

were our queen and king represent-

atives. The couples we had were

Sam and Karisya, Jaynee and Wil-

liam, and Maura and George. Fol-

lowing them were the 9-12 grade

floats. The floats this year were

suppose to represent a T.V. show.

The freshmen had “The Voice”, the

sophomores had “Wipeout”, the

juniors had “Shark Week”, and the

seniors had “Duck Dynasty”. Fol-

lowing the floats were the band,

little football boys and the little

cheerleaders. As far as I could tell

everyone loved the parade.

Friday night at 7pm was our

homecoming football game. We

played the Jo-Burg Cardinals. Eve-

ryone was so pumped up for this

game and we cheered our boys on

until the last buzzer went off. At

half time we announced our repre-

sentatives, announced our king and

queen, and announced the winning

float. The winning float was in fact

the seniors! The juniors came in

second place, sophomores came in

third, and freshmen came in last.

Our homecoming king and queen

were Maura Barry and William

Brockman.

Saturday night was the homecom-

ing dance. After anticipation for it

all day, the middle schoolers dance

started at 6:00 PM. After much

dancing and music, it ended at 8:30

PM. The high school dance started

as the middle schoolers were leav-

ing at 8:30. The night was full of

dancing and music including songs

like, “What Does The Fox Say?” It

continued until the homecoming

king and queen were announced at

10:30. When they were announced

they had a special dance for the

two of them. Eventually everyone

else was able to join in and slow

dance. The dance finally ended at

11:00 PM and that finished off our

homecoming week.

Building Trades

Update

The Building Trades is one of the

subjects held by Central Lake

High School that is prone to at-

tract the mankind lurking in the

halls of this particular school.

Building trades may seem time

consuming; as it gulps the 5th and

6th hour; it is a very helpful and

generous way to learn how to

build using the brain and the mus-

cle. Building Trades has help pro-

vide various buildings through

various projects to the town. At

the meantime, they have more

than 2 projects up their sleeves,

starting with the making of a

shed. The shed is constructed for

the Elementary office secretary,

Tiffany Truscott. She will use this

particular shed for the purpose of

storing gardening tools and kit. It

will be put next to the Truscotts’s

garden, in their residence, which

is located within Central Lake.

Tiffany stated that the full pur-

pose of this gardening shed is to

store gardening things to avoid

unorganized placements of the

gardening tools in her husband’s

dog kennel as in what is happen-

ing at the moment because her

spouse is particularly unhappy

about the current location of Tif-

fany’s gardening things. Tiffany

provides the complete cost for

providing the materials needed to

build and she will be providing

food for the students and teacher.

The shed has been nicely built by

the Building Trades students un-

der mr. Johnson’s supervision and

the teacher, and has been finished

on Friday 10/04/13. Tiffany was

very happy at the sight of her

beautiful white gardening shed

that will soon be in use. Mrs.

Truscott quoted, “The Building

Trades students did an amazing

job at building this awesome

shed.” Once again, they have suc-

ceeded to help another Central

Lake townsfolk.

New School Lunch

Standards

If you take a look around

you, you may see kids you know,

or not, talk about the schools food.

You may be hearing them say the

schools food is bad. They might

say that they need better food. Kids

might even say that they won’t eat

the food anymore, but the next day

they do. Some kids will say things

just so they don’t get made fun of

or just so they can fit in, so they

will agree with almost anything,

including that they hate school

food even if they like it. Not many

people say they don’t have a prob-

lem with the schools food. I strong-

ly don’t mind the schools food. I

like some, if not all, of the food I

get from the school. The food

doesn’t bother me much at all.

Sure, some times the food can taste

different, but over all it’s good.

The new standards require

lunches each week to average from

550 to 650 calories for kids in ele-

mentary school, 600 to 700 calories

for those in middle school, and 750

to 850 calories for high school stu-

dents, according to USA Today.

Reading this information it says

that they are trying to make their

lunches’ healthier for the students.

So, if kids think they are

eating a bad lunch now, then they

don’t know what’s coming their

way.

Nick and Chad said they

would appreciate it if you were to

push in your chairs after your done

eating- Thank you

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Is humanity getting more

violent? Many people ponder this

question, and without hesitation

would most likely answer "yes".

However, that is not the case. Per-

sonally, after pondering the thought

myself, I came to the conclusion

that humanity is actually less vio-

lent than it has ever been. Well, to

clarify that, there is less death and

crimes than there has been com-

pared to history. As society has de-

veloped, so have our protective re-

sources and abilities to solve issues

more rationally. I think the main

reason why we believe that vio-

lence and crime rate is so high is

actually because of our ability to

access this information so easily,

such as on the television or com-

puter. As our technology has in-

creased, so has our understanding

of what is going on around the

world. We hear more about crimes

and violence so we feel as if things

are only getting worse, but really

they aren't. Based on the events in

history, things have never been this

peaceful.

Using history as a guide line,

you'll realize that in comparison

death rates have dropped. Accord-

ing to statistics by Steven Pinker, a

Harvard psychologist, violence has

dropped. When wars raged, 500 out

of 100,000 people died. Genocide

death rates per world population

were 1,400 times higher in 1942

than in 2008, and you can only im-

agine how much better it has got-

ten. Also, the U.S. rate of husbands

being killed by their wives has

dropped from 1.2 per 100,000 in

1976 to 0.2. For wives killed by

their husbands, the rate has gone

from 1.4 to 0.8 within the same

time period. Rape in the United

States has gone down 80 percent

since 1973. Plus, discrimination

and abuse crimes have also de-

clined.

Overall, violence hasn't increased;

we simply know more about the

crimes that occur around us. Even

terrorism has declined. This may

represent violence, but all it really

does is generate fear. I think that

just like the technology around us,

our society will improve and be-

come more advanced with time.

Violence will never cease to exist,

but maybe as time goes on things

will continue getting better. All we

can do

is work

hard

together

to gen-

erate a

better

society

and

world.

Help

others,

fix something that's broke, protect

each other, and be the best you can

be in order to better the world

around you.

What! Water Bottles

In Class?

Central Lake Schools have

made a recent addition to the stu-

dent handbook. Water bottles are

now allowed in class! When Mr.

Platte was asked how long it has

been since students have been able

to have water bottles in class, his

response was, “Since forever. For

the past 24 years at least!” Now

why after this long did they finally

allow water bottles?

Former graduate Makenna

Scott got the ball rolling when she

wrote an editorial in last years Tro-

jan Timez. Within the article, she

listed specific points of why we

should be able to have water bottles

in class. These points included

keeping hydrated, promoting a

healthy lifestyle since water is the

healthiest thing for you, and helping

stay awake and alert

in class. After our

superintendent Mr.

Williams read this

article, he realized

how true these

points were. Deci-

sions started being

made, and meetings

were being orga-

nized.

After thinking about the

positives and negatives about allow-

ing students to have water bottles in

class, the positives overruled the

negatives. Allowing water bottles in

class was added to the school hand-

book, with a couple rules of course.

The water bottles have to be clear

with a screw on top, so that you are

able to see the water and that there

are no spills.

--Delaney Buffman

Student Council Lead-

ership Meeting

The members of student

council attended a leadership con-

ference in East Jordon on Septem-

ber 25th. This was an all day event

talking about leadership skills and

ways to be affective in your com-

munity and school. Jeff Heethuis

from Jostens organized and funded

this conference. For this being East

Jordon’s first year hosting the lead-

ership conference it

was a big success,

and they plan to do

it again next year.

Jeff invited Scott

Greenberg, a moti-

vational speaker

from Los Angeles,

California to speak

with us.

Every year

Scott speaks to more than ten thou-

sand kids around the US. He talked

to the students about many things

that all of us struggle with every-

day, but don’t even realize. One

analysis Scott gave us was the idea

of hot air balloons and sandbags.

“Like hot air balloons, all of us are

engineered to soar to great heights.

Unfortunately, we ‘sandbag’ our-

selves by doing things, thinking

things and believing things that hold

us down. We burden ourselves with

insecurity, fear and negative self-

talk. Rarely do we perform at our

best – our true best.” Scott dis-

cussed our most common sandbags

and a way to cut them loose.

After discussing these sand-

bags for awhile, Scott split us into

small groups and gave us several

topics to discuss within our groups.

Most of theses topics consisted of

different things that take part in our

school. For example, we were asked

to discuss different techniques of

fundraising, community projects,

and school dances. This allowed us

to get to know some of the other

school’s leaders and maybe take

some of their ideas back to our

school.

After our lunch break, we

were welcomed back into the audi-

torium. Scott then asked us to stand

up if we pertained to any of the

groups at which he was going to

state. Some of these different

groups were, if you consid-

ered yourself male or fe-

male, athletic, artistic, Afri-

can American, White, Chi-

nese, republican, democrat-

ic, working class, upper

class, popular, a nerd, and

many more. Each group was

asked to comment about

what they wanted other peo-

ple to know about them. As

we got through the groups, we real-

ized that we aren’t the only ones

struggling with these different prob-

lems. All the students grew closer

and realized that they weren’t alone.

Everyone left with a new outlook.

We all have more control of

our lives than we actually realize.

There is a reward or a consequence

for every choice you make. This

program was to remind students

how to face difficult situations.

These difficult situations could be

stress, broken hearts, peer pressure,

and so much more. The choices that

you make in these situations will

have a great influence on the out-

come. Scott presented a series of

powerful messages that will hope-

fully encourage students to make

the best choices possible to improve

their lives.

Morgan Scott


Three Screen Assem-

bly: Decision Making

On September 30th Mr. Lawrenze

from the 3 Screen Associations vis-

ited the middle school to give a

presentation on decision making.

He presented the students with a

video, talking about other kids

around the USA with disabilities

and problems that kids face every-

day. Most of these sto-

ries were based on de-

cisions and choices

that the kids made.

Every person thought

that certain circum-

stances wouldn’t hap-

pen to them, but later

realized that what they

thought wasn’t what

actually happened.

One of the situations

were all drug related.

All the kids were from

the same town and

they all died within

two days, but their

deaths weren’t linked.

The only relation be-

tween them was that

they all overdosed on

pain killers. You

should never take pain

killers prescribed to a

different patient because you may

never know what they will do to

you. The lesson from this news sto-

ry is that your choices can affect

you and the people around you in

many ways. Another situation

talked about a boy who lost his

eyes due to cancer when he was

just a baby. They replaced his eyes

with glass eyes, but he could “still

see.” He would use all of his other

senses to get around. He used a

system of clicking to get around

and “feel objects.” The sound from

the click would bounce off an ob-

ject giving him a feel about what

was surrounding him. His mother

said that he could never use the fact

of him being blind for any situation

in life and that he needed to be

strong. He still wants to be like

everyone else and doesn’t want to

be treated with lesser rights. The

lesson in this situation is to always

make the best out of what you

have. Take the bad things in life

and turn them into positives. What

you do now will make a difference.

When you work toward a goal, you

will become stronger. The students

got valuable information from the

assembly and were happy that Mr.

Lawrenze could come in and pre-

sent. You as a person have the abil-

ity to make choices. The choices

you make define who you are as a

person. A lot of your choices will

have an affect on you and the peo-

ple around you. When you take a

moment to make good choices it

will help you make better choices

in the long run and define your

character.

From Pennsylvania to Northern

Michigan Mrs. Simon is the new Algebra one and geometry

teacher for Central Lake High School. She came to our

school from Western Pennsylvania because her husband

got a job in Charlevoix. She has a younger brother and

sister, and an older brother.

Before she

started teaching

she went to col-

lege at South Pitts-

burg for her Bach-

elors Degree.

Then, she went to

Slippery Rock

University in

Pennsylvania for

her Mathematics,

and lastly she went

to the University

of Albany for her Masters.

If she wasn’t a teacher, Mrs. Simon would like to

travel the world to see the different countries and cul-

tures. A few things she enjoys doing during her free time

is Scrap booking and walking her dog which is a black

lab hound mix. Her favorite sport is Hockey, and her fa-

vorite subject is obviously math.

Mrs. Simon fell in love with math when she was

taking algebra at her school. In the future, her goal is to

complete her bucket list before she has kids. For exam-

ple, she would like to go in a hot air balloon. This is just

a little bit about our new math teacher Mrs. Simon.

Teacher of the Month, Mr. Tyler

Every month we have athletes that are chosen

for athlete of the month to represent their sports. Why

not do the same for teachers? There are new and old

teachers that everyone loves. I have decided to give

credit to all the hard work the teachers do by selecting

one for teacher of the month.

Our first teacher is Mr. Tyler. He is one of the

new teachers here at Central Lake and he has taken

over our biology and physics program. Many of the

students love him because he’s a funny guy. I asked

some of his students what they thought of him and

these are the responses I got. “He’s a funny and classy

laid back teacher who really enjoys working with high

school students”. -William Brockman. “Mr. Tyler is a

cool cat.” -Jeff Joyce. He knows and teaches his stuff

really well and helps kids understand what they are

learning. His favorite subject is in fact biology. Guess

he picked a good class to teach. Mr. Tyler’s wife is

Ms. Maul. Some of you may know her as our health

occupations one and two teacher.

Activities that Mr. Tyler likes to do is hunt,

fish, snowboard, and snowmobile. No wonder all the

kids like him so much! That’s about half our school!

His favorite sport is college football. I asked him

what he would want to be if he wasn’t a teacher. His

answer was a DNR officer. He told me that he would

love that job because he would be outside all the time

and he would be able to drive a cool truck. His big-

gest inspiration is his mom because she was a teach-

er , this is what inspired him to become a teacher as

well.

-Kara Becker

How Healthy Are You?

Our very own health class gave stu-

dents a free checkup!

Not only was it good

practice for these

health students, but it

also gave their

‘patients’ an overlook

on their health status

at that point in time.

Throughout

this checkup, the

health students

checked four different

areas. Blood pressure,

which is pressure ex-

erted by the blood on

the walls of the arter-

ies. Respiration, the

act of breathing in and out. Pulse, the single beat of

the arteries or heart. Lastly, temperature, the degree of

heat in a living

body, usually about

98.6 degrees. After

people got this

done, you could

walk around the

room and see all the

students comparing

their results. As one

health student com-

mented, “This was

so we could get used

to practicing on live

patients, instead of

just our classmates.

It’s different having

to do this on people

other than the ones

you’re used to.” When Kara Becker was asked how

she felt about the experience, she said, “It was a good

experience. It was good because everyone is different,

so you really have to know what you’re doing.”

-Lexi Carpenter and Delaney Buffman


Halloween Ear Candy

“You better run, you better

hide” on the day where the door-

ways to the realm of the dead and a

home of the deities or spirits are

opened. The day where everything

feels and seems more spooky,

awakening your goosebumps.

Yes, All Hallows’ Eve is

coming up in the end of the month,

where people dress up and volun-

tarily want to look scarier. People

call it Halloween nowadays. There

will be spooky carved-out pumpkin

heads, various ‘bloody’ arches in

various colors, and tons of people

dressing up running here and there.

But, what good is halloween with-

out music that makes your hor-

mones react in a way where your

whole body just starts to shiver

with no reason, or music that just

makes you jump and burst out

dancing in a time where demons

are lurking? That may sound appal-

ing, but that’s the exciting part

about the 31st of October. There-

fore, the ones participating for hal-

loween should love to scare, and to

be scared.

If you feel that you are one

of those people that are planning on

what you are going to wear on Hal-

loween, or what kind of party

you’re going to throw, here are

some songs to provoke your sur-

vival mechanism, causing your en-

tity to quickly pull far away from

your physical being, triggering

your adrenaline, and reviving the

dark side of another’s dimension:

Halloween by The Dead Ken-

nedys:

You could immediately see how

this song is perfect for Halloween

just by looking at the title of this

80’s hard-

core punk.

There’s

nothing bet-

ter than

having a

song that

gets you

banging

your head while you’re trick or

treating. All the bass and drum

along the 3 minutes of the song re-

vives that lively part of the day of

dead.

Runnin’ with The Devil by Van

Halen:

70’s rock

song! It

goes perfect

with hal-

loween.

This partic-

ular song

triggers your masculine side and

shows your valiant personality,

having to go through Halloween.

This puts you among the cool

kids’s side. “Runnin’ with the devil

(Yes I am! Yeah!)”

Thriller

by Michael

Jackson:

This 80’s

pop rock

song is the

most fa-

mous song from all. Who doesn’t

know it? I guarantee 70% of the

world’s population have heard this

song before. The catchy beat, and

MJ’s high pitched voice just gets

you on your feet. It will fill your

thriller night with spook and funk.

Hells Bells by ACDC:

The hells

are going

to be

opened and

the bells

are going

to be rung.

The song

that makes you shiver by its special

effects placed at the beginning of

the song. The sound of bells. Call-

ing you to a dark place. But, once

the guitar starts to come in, that’s

when Halloween starts to feel bet-

ter and awesome. ACDC never

fails to make you happy. Rock on

Halloween!

In The Room Where You Sleep

by Dead Man’s Bones:

This partic-

ular new

song sung

by the

hearthrob-

bing Ryan

Gosling

and Zach

Shields might be different than the

others, but it is a treat to your ears

and a challenge to your bravery. It

has the most scariest album image

compared to the others. After being

the soundtrack of the scariest hor-

ror movie of the decade (The Con-

juring), this song went huge. “I saw

something sitting on your bed, I

saw something touching your head,

in the room where you sleep.”

Doesn’t that sound interesting?

And by that, this last song will def-

initely make your Halloween worth

it.

A Daily Pledge

Starting this school year we

students begin our day with the

pledge of allegiance. For most

students this has not been a

regular thing since the fifth

grade, so why have we started

doing this again? This is be-

cause a new state law has

passed that requires schools to

make time for the pledge. This

law had taken effect at the be-

ginning of this school year. A

second law requires schools to

display a United States flag in

each classroom. So why has

this new law been made in the

first place? This is because it is

believed that students should

be taught about our nation and

the knowledge that freedom is

not free. It is believed that stu-

dents should be given the op-

portunity to site the pledge

each day but are not required

to.

Trojans Football Report

Football season is officially

in full swing, and the Trojans are

looking forward to a good season,

after losing to Jo-Burg in their first

district game last year. With many

underclassmen up on varsity this

year, this is definitely one of the

youngest teams Trojan football has

seen in a long time. Now with five

games out of the way, the first half

of the season has gone by and the

Trojans are going to have to fight

for a playoff spot.

On September 6th the Tro-

jans, seeking their first win of the

season hosted the Atlanta Huskies.

Before the game coach Rob Heeke

talked about their strategy saying,

“We need to run the ball with au-

thority on the Offensive side of the

ball, and on the defensive side we

need to put pressure on their QB,

and try to shut down their passing

game.”

After both teams had to punt

their first possession, Central Lake

pined the Huskies deep in their own

territory, and on the second down

Gus Szoka broke through the line

and took down the Quarterback for

a safety. After that a short punt

gave the Trojans great field position

at the Atlanta thirty-five. After a

few plays Ben Hicks ran into the

end zone for an eight yard touch-

down run. The score after the first

quarter was Central Lake 10, Atlan-

ta 0.

In the second quarter Hicks

threw two interceptions, one of

which led to an Atlanta touchdown,

but they failed to get the two point

conversion. After a non-scoring

drive by each team a fifteen yard

penalty by Atlanta put the Trojans

in the red zone, and Ben ran it in

again for a fifteen yard touchdown.

However, we failed to get the two

point conversion after that touch-

down. At the half the score was

Central lake 16, Atlanta 6. Coach

Heeke said “We are doing a good

job limiting their receptions, but we

need to avoid the big play”.

The Trojans came out

strong to start the second half,

George Thayer had a 26 yard run

the first play of the half; however

they failed to score on that drive.

When Atlanta was in the red-zone

Will Brockman recovered a fumble

to get the

ball back,

and he

went on to

score after

a 34 yard

run by

George.

This put

them inside

the five

yard line.

The score

after 3 was

Central

Lake 22 Atlanta 6.

Will had another touchdown

run on the Trojan’s first possession

of the 4th quarter, but George

limped off the field after a success-

ful two point conversion, and

would not return. Atlanta then went

deep into Central Lake territory, but

Jack Dawson stopped the Atlanta

quarterback at the five to force a

turnover on downs. Dawson then

had a 55 yard reception, and was

taken down hard, but only came off

the field for one play. The Trojans

didn’t score on that drive, and At-

lanta had a touchdown on their

drive. The Trojans got the ball after

a failed squib kick at the Atlanta

45, and then took three knees to run

the clock out, final score Central

Lake 30 Atlanta 12.

Report Continued!

On the thirteenth the Tro-

jans traveled to Gaylord to take on

the snowbirds, and both teams were

looking for a good win.

It was a cold windy night,

and Central Lake came out looking

like they were going to run away

with the game, as George Thayer

and Luke Seaney both had long

rushing touchdowns in the first

four minutes. After Luke’s touch-

down, Sam Potter intercepted a

pass that the St. Mary’s receiver

bobbled. However, the Trojans

fumbled on that possession, which

then led to a St. Mary’s touchdown.

Central Lake scored during their

next possession, after a roughing

the punter penalty on the Snow-

birds gave the Trojans a first down.

The score after one was Central

Lake 22 Gaylord St. Mary’s 7.

The Snowbirds dominated

the 2nd quarter, scoring a touch-

down on the first play of the quar-

ter, and then recovered a squib kick

after their score. But the Trojans

forced a four and out after the

squib kick. Then with 5:10 to go in

the quarter Gus Szoka recovered a

fumble, which led to a George

Thayer 33 yard touchdown run.

After that St. Mary’s threw a long

touchdown pass with twenty-two

seconds to go. And then instead of

taking a knee the Trojans decided

to run one more play, and St.

Mary’s intercepted a pass, and re-

turned it 77 yards for a touchdown

to end the half. The score at

halftime was Central Lake 30, Gay-

lord St. Mary’s 28

St. Mary’s got the ball to

start the 3rd quarter, and they were

driving down the field when the

Trojans recovered a fumble. But

then the Trojans also fumbled and

gave St. Mary’s the ball with 9:10

to go in the third. And then on their

possession St. Mary’s fumbled

again, and gave the Trojans the ball

once again, the first three posses-

sions of the third quarter were a

fumble fest. After the second St.

Mary’s fumble Will Brockman ran

for a touchdown with 6:55 left in

the 3rd quarter. And then the snow-

birds scored a touchdown on their

possession, but missed the extra

point, which would later prove

costly. The score after three was

Central Lake 36 Gaylord St.

Mary’s 34.

We were in for an exciting

4th quarter, St. Mary got the ball to

start the quarter, and was going for

a 4th down conversion, when the

Trojans Corbin Newton jumped

offside, and gave St. Mary’s a first

down. St. Mary’s scored a touch-

down later in their drive to put

themselves up by five points. Later

in the quarter a short punt gave

Central Lake the ball with good

field position. George Thayer

scored his third touchdown of the

game with 1:35 left to go, and the

core was 42-41 Central Lake after a

failed two point conversion.

St. Mary’s then got the ball

at their 37, and went on a very dra-

matic drive. On first down the

snowbirds had a shot gain on a run

up the middle. Then on second

down Gus Szoka Batted down a

pass that was under thrown. On

third down the snowbirds complet-

ed a long pass that put them at the

Central Lake 28 yard line with a

new set of downs. They then

spiked the ball to stop the clock.

On second down the Snowbirds

threw an incomplete pass, and then

on third down their receiver

dropped a pass in the end zone, as

everyone on the Central Lake side

breath a big sigh of relief. Then

fourth down, the snowbirds

snapped the ball with twenty-one

seconds to go, and the quarterback

threw the ball into the end zone,

and it was caught… by the Trojans

Sam Potter (his second pic of the

game) he then ran the ball out of

the end zone, and slid to down him-

self somewhere around the ten yard

line. The Trojans then took a knee

to run the last seconds out, Final

score Central Lake 42, Gaylord St.

Mary’s 41. -Simon Spaulding

Homecoming 2013

Our homecoming game featured

many pre-game festivities including a

pep assembly, a parade of all the clas-

ses’ floats, and an entire spirit week of

many different themes. But it all came

down to seeing who would win the foot-

ball game between the Trojans, and the

visiting Jo-Burg Cardinals.

To start the first quarter the Tro-

jans punted on their first possession, Jo-

Burg then punted, but got the ball back

when the ball bounced off Ben Hicks’

leg, and the Cardinals recovered. After

the recovered punt Jo-Burg drove deep

into Central Lake territory, but didn’t

score. After that the Trojans were forced

to punt again on their next possession.

After they received the punt Jo-Burg

went on to score on a 16 yard touch-

down run to give them the games first

score. The Trojans then drove to the Jo-

Burg 25 yard line, but didn’t score, the

score after one was Jo-Burg 6, C L 0.

On the first drive of the second

quarter Jo-burg scored another touch

down to give them a two score ad-

vantage. But the Trojans came back

with a good drive, which was started by

a 25 yard run by Will Brockman. Will

went on to score a touchdown on the

drive as he dragged a defender into the

endzone. Jo-Burg then drove deep into

Trojan territory, but gave up the ball on

downs inside the 5 yard line. That didn’t

matter much though as on the very first

play of the Trojan drive the Cardinals

forced a safety. The score a t Halftime

was Jo-burg 14, Central Lake 6.

Jo-Burg got the ball to start the

second half, and punted on their first

possession, as did Central Lake. Then

on the next Jo-Burg possession, a ques-

tionable pass interference call on the

Trojans led to a Jo-Burg touchdown,

with a two point conversion.

Central Lake then had a turnover on

downs, on their next drive. The score

after three quarter’s of play was Jo-Burg

22, Central Lake 6.

The cardinals showed no signs

of giving up the lead in the fourth, cor-

ing a touchdown on the first play of the

quarter. Then on the Trojans first drive

they fumbled, and Jo-burg recovered.

The cardinals then drove deep into Cen-

tral Lake territory, but turned it over on

downs at the Trojan 15. On the follow-

ing drive the Trojans also turned it over

on downs, and then Jo-Burg punted with

just over a minute to go in the game. On

the following drive Sophomore Isaac

Mortensen came into the game at quar-

terback, and had a successful drive com-

pleting two passes, one of which was a

touchdown to Jack Dawson. The Cardi-

nals then recovered a squib kick to seal

the win. The final score was Jo-Burg 30,

Central Lake 12.

Cross Country Report

Heat rises. Breeze runs through the

field. Tensions amongst the audience

emerge. Shouts hurl across the air as people

cheer for their favorite. That is how it al-

ways feels at every cross-country meet.

Hundreds of students from various schools

enter the competition, sprinting towards the

finish line, trying to keep a pace that could

take them to victory. 4 cross-country meets

had rushed through September, leaving trails

of running shoes on the ground, resulting

winners with their triumphant victory.

Central Lake Trojans cross-

country team that is coached by ms. Bridget

McAvoy, has been stepping up since the

start of this season. Ms. McAvoy stated,

“This season, my team is doing an amazing

job at getting better and better even though

we are such a young team! Everybody moti-

vated each other and are doing their best at

what they enjoy doing.” The runners were

very much ready to better themselves one

race at a time, acting as a team, despite their

difference in age. Expanding their team,

even with the absence of a complete team in

every category, they still ran onwards to-

gether, through various races.

The first meet at the beginning of

the month in Charlevoix High School had

been canceled. It should have taken place on

the 09/07/13, on 9:30 am. This cancellation

has left the runners disappointed, their heads

turned downwards, for it would have been a

amusing ‘mud run’ if there had not been any

prolonged thunder and lightning on that cold

and rainy day.

The House on the Hill cross-

country race, which took place in Ellsworth,

was utterly flawless. 09/13/14 had begun

with warmth and sunshine, which lasted

throughout the day. The Varsity women 5k

run opened the race, heating the audience.

Followed by the Varsity men, the 2-mile

middle school run, which was mixed with

the open race. After 2 and half hours, the

awarding took place. Awarding was divided

into two divisions. In Varsity women, Cen-

tral Lake High School won 10th place of

class D, with Anastasia Bragg (4th place)

and Carissa Boni (11th). The 1st winning

team was Bellaire High School with team

total of 31 points, followed by Cedar Ville

High School and Gaylord St. Mary’s. Junior

Varsity was not awarded. As for the middle

school runners, they did an outstanding job,

all finishing below 20 minutes. Brett Dewey

led the pack by finishing the race in 13

minutes.

The next race on 09/21/13 was a

home meet, held by Central Lake High

School. To be exact, it was held in a beauti-

ful field that was turned into a ravishing

course at Old State road, which belongs to

Tom and Connie Klessel. The race started at

11:00 am and ended at 1:00 on a cloudy and

cold day. Bellaire, once again won the first

place as the winning team. Central Lake’s

Anastasia Bragg finished 3rd, being the first

of the pack to finish, followed later by

Carissa Boni, Tineka Witt, and Karisya

Adjie. Brett Dewey also once again leads

the middle school pack to the finish line,

with Joshua, Matilda Perkins, Jaynee Boni,

and Gaby Fernandez, each a couple of

minutes behind with incredible timings.

Boyne Falls High School race on

09/28/13 also without further due, resulted

outstanding results from Central Lake Tro-

jans. Anastasia Bragg finished 3rd at 21’37

and Carissa Boni finished 9th at 22’47. Brett

Dewey finished 15th at 14’00, Gaby Fernan-

dez at 16’07 and Matilda Perkins at 16’15.

The last cross country meet in

Mancelona High school on the 3rd this

month had to be cancelled once again,

caused by the presence of thunder and light-

ning. But overall, the Central Lake Trojans

cross-country runners did their best to try

and climb to the very top, with strength,

speed, determination, and team motivation.

Kudos to ms. Bridget McAvoy, for coaching

such a wonderful team this season.

Aries (March 21 -

April 20) This month you'll find some

private problems will take

place, and that's how you'll want to keep

them, private. However, things will be

very high powered, and you'll find your-

self being extremely well known and en-

couraged to get things done. You'll be on

task, on time, and extremely accom-

plished. But, be careful to not over work

yourself otherwise performance stress will

get to you.

Taurus (April 21 - May

21) Be ready to face the same old,

same old. Not much will be dif-

ferent from the typical things you deal

with. On the other hand, you'll seek assis-

tance for adventure. It's time to pay atten-

tion, but do not act. You'll want to be cau-

tious of doing anything long lasting. Keep

your awesome this month, and take care

of those you care about.

Gemini (May 22 - June

21) Set the stage and be ready to

perform! This month you can expect high

quality performance from yourself. How-

ever, relaxation will be more dominant,

along with an emphasis on group interac-

tions. So, be careful to not have skipped

anything or miss a crucial detail. But, no

pressure! By the end of your month, with

some planning, you'll be well organized

and prepared.

Cancer (June 22 - July

22) Success is in your reach. Prep

yourself in the morning and do

an outstanding job the rest of the day. Peo-

ple will notice. However, things at home

won't quite be the same. Family complica-

tions may arise, so you will have to evalu-

ate your primary issues. Overall, you'll

still find yourself accomplishing much

this month.

Leo (July 23 –Aug. 21) Social interaction with buddies

and new individuals will be the

key this month. You'll face

relationship endeavors, and

family distress. But, nearing the end of the

month everything will be improved. Look

forward to good fortune mostly; although

challenges may come they won’t stay.

Virgo (Aug. 22 – Sept.

23) Unfortunately you may face a

few conundrums this month.

You'll find yourself being uncertain in

many decisions regarding school, friends,

family, and even career (if you have a

job). Things will seem scrambled, so

you'll have to use your sound judgment to

keep things stable. Low power days will

arise, and slow movements with critical

thinking may be best. You'll pull through!

Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct.

23) Energy, effort, and effective-

ness will be the sum of your

month. You'll discover new connections

that open up many new possibilities for

yourself. Make sure to calm your thoughts

before bed and take good care of yourself.

You may find this month a little rocky

every now and then, but there will also be

great days with no problems. Keep push-

ing forward.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov.

22) Appreciate time this month.

Appreciate time with family

and friends. Take a chance

with life by doing something you normally

wouldn't do and you'll find yourself satis-

fied. You may encounter arguments with

close relatives, but you pull through.

You're a wonderful person after all!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 –

Dec. 22) Everything will be ideal this month.

Expect more achievements and effective-

ness in your efforts for school and rela-

tionships. If you dedicate yourself to the

things you need to do and the things you

love to do, then you'll have an enjoyable

month. Deepening connections will form

with people you know, and over all you

can withstand anything this October.

Capricorn (Dec. 23 – Jan.

20) Before you set off, make sure

you are welcomed in the activi-

ties you're thinking of joining. There could

be mix-ups and terminated activities this

month. Arranging complications aren't too

far out of your reach either. Things are

going to get complicated. Although, you'll

appreciate all the buddies who stand at

your side during this rough patch.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 –

Feb. 19) Try not to journey out to

much this month. You may

want to hold back on choices on tasks, and

you'll discover difficulties with self inflict-

ed problems. These will be challenging

times, but still keep your eye out rewards

and good times occasionally this October.

Pisces (Feb. 20- March 20) Interested in things this month

you'll find much change. Some

good and some bad. Try to con-

trol your eagerness. Although, in

the beginning of the month you

may face some rewarding times, so try to

be satisfied. Take good care of yourself.

MIRROR

The mirror is so cunning

Reflecting things you've seen

Face is the mirror to one's soul

Yet, reflection of your soul unseen.

What defines the face of society

The person or the glass

Is it the appearance in reflection

Or the heart you look past

Oh, mirror you mimic me

What I do you do too

Covering the flaws of myself

Is like painting the glass to you

Ask Annie

Q: Dear Annie,

I’m having a hard time balancing school

with sports, what should I do so I can balance

them better?

Sincerely, Exhausted

A: Dear Exhausted,

I am actually going through the same

thing, and what I do to keep up with my grades and

stay sporty is I use a planner and balance my time. I set

aside at least three hours a day for studying. They

don’t all have to be at once, because my practice is two

hours. I spend an hour after school studying, then take

a break and get other things done then go to practice,

when I get home around 7:30 I spend another two

hours studying. Grades are what are important. Free

time can come last.

Sincerely, Annie

Q: Dear Annie,

I’m kind of shy and I want to make more

friends, what should I do?

Sincerely, Shy Guy

A: Dear Shy Guy,

When I first started high school I wasn’t really

the most liked person. I went through some rough

times. I was really alone. What I did was I was nice to

absolutely everyone; I smiled as much as I could with-

out my face hurting, and I didn’t let people and drama

get to me. Just keep your head up and be yourself and

if the people you want to be your friends are meant to

be your friends then they will be.

Sincerely, Annie

Q: Dear Annie,

My grades are going down, what should I do to

get them back up?

Sincerely, Bad Grades

A: Dear Bad Grades,

STUDY, STUDY, STUDY! Studying in the

one thing that can help you get your grades back up.

Reread chapters, take notes, use flashcards. There are

so many ways that you can get your grades up all you

have to do is have the mind set to do it.

Sincerely, Annie
