iMovie Released in Drama and Theater

By: Rachael Kellen

Second Senior High Knowledge Bowl Meet

Last semester’s Drama and Theater class

completed their very entertaining iMovie, CGB Idol, a parody of the very popular TV show Ameri-can Idol. In CGB Idol, everyone in the class, along

with a few guest stars, performed a song. If you want

to see the iMovie, ask students Sam Bauer, Kenedi

Stotesberry, Morgan Nordly, Jordan Bauer and

Cormick Combellick. Their teacher, Mrs. Hynnek,

has a copy too.

You’ll have to watch to see who ends up be-

coming the CGB Idol! This was a great project for

the class to get to learn more about making movies.

They said the hardest part was picking the songs

and actually putting all the scenes together.

CGB’s Annual Spelling Bee

The Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley School Spelling Bee was held

Thursday, January 22, 2015. All the students in grades seven and eight

took a written test prior to the bee to see who would be competing this

year. The ten contestants that made it to the spelling bee were Emma

Botker, Elizabeth Davis, Saige Ochsendorf, DeonDré Sigler and Mac-

kenzie Wills from the eighth grade; and Jacob Fischer, Trace Nieters,

Sharina Reyes, Alex Sigler and Mataiah Turner

from the seventh grade. DeonDré was absent the

day of the spelling bee.

The winner of this year’s spelling bee was Sharina Reyes

with the final word: disentangle. Second place was a tie between

Emma Botker and Elizabeth Davis. Emma and Elizabeth re-

ceived medals donated by the Graceville Women’s Organiza-

tion, and Sharina received a dictionary donated by Clinton

State Bank and a trophy donated by the Graceville Women’s Organization.

Sharina will advance to this year’s Region

Quote

By: Morgan Nordly

Jacey is this week’s special senior! Jacey is just happy that she has made it this far, and happy to be al-

most done with high school! She is planning on going to college for Education with a major in English!

I am best known for . . . Being nice and friendly, and always being peppy!

I will miss . . . some friends and teachers and Carol’s cooking

I wont miss . . . the drama and the little kid

immaturity

What are your plans after high school?. . . To

take care of my child! Then I plan on doing

online school and hopefully going to college!

My advice for underclassmen is . . . Don't let

people get to you; before you know it you’re

out of here and won’t see anyone from here

again!

Always borrow

money from a

pessimist. He

won’t expect it

back.

— Oscar Wilde

This week’s movie is The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. It is coming to theaters a week

from tomorrow. It is a sequel to the SpongeBob Squarepants movie that came out ten years ago. If that

doesn’t make you feel old, I don’t know what will!

The storyline in this movie is that SpongeBob,

Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Plankton and Mr. Crabs have

to leave Bikini Bottom and go to the real world to get

back a stolen recipe.

When they are there, they get tangled up with a

pirate and have to fight

him to get the recipe

back, but the pirate has a

book and whatever gets

written in the book will

come true!

That leaves a big

mystery to whether or not

they will get the recipe

back, let alone even

make it back to Bikini

Bottom.
