Crimson Courier Autumn 2014

Welcome Back!

By: Jillian Korgeski

It’s hard to believe that summer is over, but even harder

to believe that the school year is already one quarter of

the way done! Going into the second quarter is the best

time of the year. The football playoffs start, basketball

season and other winter

sports are right around the

corner, and you already

went through the stress of

meeting teachers, taking

tests for the first time, and

just getting back in the

swing of things. Although

the year is going by

quickly already, make sure

you make the best of it! If

you haven’t attended a Bucks football game yet, you’re

in luck because they still have a few left. Also, when

basketball season comes, make sure that you get out to

the games to support your classmates. You will be able

hangout with your friends on a school night and be able

to participate in some of the craziest and rowdiest

student sections in Dunmore High School history. Not

only does our school have talented athletes, we also have

superb actors and actresses. Go support our drama club

and see their upcoming play, The Arabian Nights.

Whether you go to see other students in their

extracurricular activities or not, just have fun this year. It

is already a quarter of the way over, so don’t waste it and

regret your days at good ol’ DHS.

The Challenge Program

By: Rachel Beltran

Last year, students in 10th and 11

th grades were put to a

challenge. They were asked to be the best in attendance,

community service, academic excellence, academic

improvement, or STEM. Recently, five students from

each grade were selected and awarded a scholarship

from the Robert Y. Moffat Family Charitable Trust. The

senior students who were selected were: Maria Errico for

academic excellence, Jillian Korgeski for academic

improvement, Alyssa Lopatka for attendance, Jenna

Lopatka for community service, and Kyle Copeland for

STEM. The juniors that were selected were: Ryan

McGregor for academic excellence, Abby Ptasinski for

academic improvement, Meave King for attendance,

Maren Lindemuth for community service, and Casey

Genett for STEM. The students were then challenged to

excel in those

categories again,

along with the rest

of their grade.

Congratulations to

the students that

were recognized

and good luck to

all the grades that

were challenged by

The Challenge

Program.

Student Body Elections

By: Jillian Korgeski

Every year, when the school year starts, there is one

thing most seniors talk about- student body elections.

This year, the student body was lucky enough to have

five extremely talented and qualified contestants run for

the prestige role. The students gathered in the

gymnasium before school and listened attentively to all

of the candidates and considered what they had in mind

and who would do the best job for them. All of the

candidates gave convincing speeches that made the

election hard to decide who to vote for. The senior

students who bravely ran for the position of student body

president were Timmy Drewes, Matt Lukasik, Megan

McDonough, Joe Maceyko, and Jake Makowski. All

candidates had fun ideas for spirit week, creative ways to

raise money, and showed that they truly cared about the

student of DHS. The winner of the election and student

body president for the 2014-2015 school year was Jake

Makowski. Congratulations to Jake and all of the

candidates for giving DHS your attention and dedication

on making this year a great one!

Homecoming

By: Courtney Higgins

With the beginning of a new school year comes new classes

and teachers, football games, and of course, homecoming.

This year marked another successful Homecoming game for

the Bucks in which they easily defeated the Susquehanna

Sabers, but the most exciting part of the game was at halftime

when the 2014 Homecoming Queen was announced. During

school, the student body voted for one of the ten girls

nominated for Homecoming Queen. Nominees included

Moriah Bistran escorted by John Perry, Kylie Brazil escorted

by Ryan Bonin, Eva Cooper escorted by Kyle Copeland,

Jessica Edwards escorted by Jack Quinn, Casey Farris

escorted by Kory Klatt, Samantha Kaczmarek escorted by

Josh Goldman, Jillian Korgeski escorted by Joe Palko,

Brianna Lawless

escorted by James

McHale, Bridget

Miller escorted by

Kyle Yeager, and

Gabriella Summa

escorted by

Christopher Lowe.

Miss Buck,

Kayleigh Semion

and her escort, Liam McDonald crowned Brianna Lawless as

Homecoming Queen during halftime. Congratulations to all

the senior girls nominated and to Brianna Lawless for being

crowned Homecoming Queen!

Spirit Week

By: Maeve King

This October, Dunmore High School celebrated what is

widely regarded as the best five days of the school year, Spirit

Week. On Sunday, September 28th

, devoted members of each

class spent hours transforming their hallways into animated

movies: Finding Nemo for the freshmen, Toy Story for the

sophomores, The Spongebob Squarepants Movie for the

juniors, and Monsters Inc. for the seniors. The annual events,

such as Jeopardy, Minute to Win It, Family Feud, and

Anything Goes, took place throughout the week, and on

Friday, the senior class was declared the winner!

Keep Calm and March On

By: Maddie Loftus

Composed of over sixty-five musicians, ten managers, and

various directors and assistants, the Dunmore High School

Marching Band is one of the largest organizations in the

district. They march through the halls, they play at pep rallies,

and they perform their field show every Friday night

throughout football season. This year's show opens with "Car

Wash,” followed by "All Star,” "You've Got a Friend in Me,”

and "Some Nights,” and closes with "Happy.”

This year is a particularly unique year for the band, as it is

composed primarily of under classmen. Just about two thirds

of the band is made up of freshmen and sophomores. On top

of this, it is what

is referred to in

the band as a

"Disney year.”

Every four years,

the band takes a

trip to Disney

where they spend

a few days in the

park and march in

the Main Street

Parade. The band must film an audition tape in order to secure

their spot on Main Street. The tape, which was filmed on

September 25th

, was sent to Disney, and the band is currently

waiting for their response.

Good luck DHSMB!

Earth Club

By: Emily Russavage

It is that time of year again: every student, from freshmen to

seniors, decides which clubs to join. At meetings in the

cafeteria, everyone takes a seat, papers are passed out, and a

teacher calls us to attention. This September, the Earth Club

came together for its first meeting of the year. Mrs. Linda

Muracco, the teacher in charge of it all, wrote down the

candidates for officers, and members later filled out the

ballots. The officers of the Earth Club for the 2014-2015

school year were announced the same day as the meeting. The

President is Matt Muracco, the Vice President is Danny

Drewes, the Treasurer is Timmy Drewes, and the Secretary is

Rachel Beltran.

Shortly after officers were chosen, the biannual Earth Club

Cleanup was

organized. If you have

ever been in Mrs.

Muracco’s classroom,

then you have seen the

countless pictures

taken from past years’

cleanups, and it has

been successful every

year. On Saturday,

September 27th

, Earth

Club members met in

the Fidelity Bank parking lot. Gloves and vests were

distributed, and everyone went to work. Members picked up

garbage, going up one side of the highway to McDonald’s in

Dunmore, and then back down the other side of the highway,

returning to the Fidelity Bank. Thanks to these dedicated

Dunmore High School students, the borough of Dunmore is

much cleaner.

Football

By: Gabriella Summa

The Dunmore Bucks football team, headed by Coach Henzes,

is having a very successful year. The fourteen seniors have

been leading the team to multiple victories with their hard

work, persistence, and determination. Although they suffered a

loss in the season opener against Scranton Prep (26-0), the

Bucks have been battling their way back to the top by winning

games against Northwest (35-6), West Scranton (34-14),

Susquehanna (28-7), and Carbondale (54-17). The week four

game against Susquehanna marked the annual homecoming

game. Twelve senior girls and their escorts took the field at

half time for the ceremony. Brianna Lawless was voted the

2014-2015 homecoming queen. Congratulations Bri! During

week 6, Dunmore hosted its annual Kick Off for the Cure pink

out game against Honesdale. I hope you supported your Bucks

and the fight against breast cancer by heading out to the game

dressed in pink. The regular season is now coming to a close,

and on behalf of the student body I would like to wish the

boys good luck in playoffs!

Boys Soccer

By: Kathleen Klatt

Boys’ soccer is just one of the many sports Dunmore High

School has to offer. Coach Phillips is always there to push and

encourage the boys, and you can tell just by watching them

play! There are 14 seniors this year who are very vital to this

team. Those boys are Bailey Sleboda, Joey Capooci,

PJ Mandarano, Kory Klatt, Shandon Black, Joey Nemeth,

Ryan Bonin, Bob Judge, Kyle Copeland, Manny Aguilar, Ross

Scalese, Anthony Montaro, Danny Packer and Vladimir

Phillips. The captains of the boys’ soccer team are Bailey

Sleboda, Anthony Montaro, PJ Mandarano, and Bob Judge.

During their season so far, they won 4 games and lost 2

games. Dunmore’s biggest win was against Riverside, with a

score of 12 to 3. Just by watching the games, everyone could

tell that Dunmore has an equal offense and defense, which

puts the

team

above

the rest.

They

recently

defeated

Mid

Valley in

the first

round of

playoffs, but suffered a close loss

to Mountain View which terminated their season. I hope

everyone supported the boys, and congratulations to all of

them on a great season!

Girls Tennis

By: Gina Tallo

Led by Mrs. Jennifer Ondek and Miss Maura Dempsey, the

2014 girls’ tennis season came with good times and great

memories. After losing many of last year’s senior starters,

Casey Farris stepped up to be the team’s leader as captain. The

regular season brought many ups and downs, finishing with an

overall winning record. Contributing greatly to the success,

the team’s ace Nastatia Denunzio, a junior, had a very

successful year. Expectedly enough, Nastatia Denunzio was

the first singles starter, followed by the captain Casey Farris as

the second singles starter. The third starter is junior Allison

Aronica.

They say teamwork makes the dream work, which is true

when it comes to the doubles matches for the bucks. The first

doubles team consists of Caitlin McCafferty and Riley

McNally. Following them are Anna Chiaro and Alyssa

Bielinski. Although there were only a few of the players

mentioned, those not mentioned are also vital to the success of

the team. Overall, the girls’ tennis team had a season full of

triumph and exhilaration.

Girls Volleyball

By: Isabelle Cooper

The Dunmore Volleyball team was the dominant team in the

Lackawanna League. With a final 17-1 record for the regular

season, the Dunmore girls were hard to beat. This past

weeke

nd, the

team

played

in the

Wyomi

ng

Valley

West

tourna

ment

taking

home

the

gold.

Along with being victorious in this tournament, the girls spent

an exhausting twelve hour day playing in the Tunkhannock

tournament a few weeks prior. They beat many challenging

teams, including a state ranked team in the tournament’s

championship

match…is there

anything these girls

can’t do? District play

is now in full swing,

and they are ready to

take on the challenge.

The senior members

of the team are Jillian

Korgeski, Megan

McDonough, Eva

Cooper, Jessica

Edwards and Kylie

Brazil. They have all

shown great

leadership this year,

and will definitely be

missed next season. I

hope the student body will come to support DHSVB as the

season continues!

Girls Soccer

By: Maggie Scalzo

With a tied regular season record of 4-4, the Lady Bucks

soccer team advanced to the playoffs where they had a short

lived run, but an overall great season. They played Mid Valley

the first round and came out victorious. However their second

game against Lakeland was the opposite, and they ended up

losing 2-0. Despite that, the Lady Bucks had 3 people named

to second team all stars: Summer Czekaj, Elizabeth Nolen, and

Emily Pavlowski. Freshman Gillian Coar made first team All

Stars. Congratulations Gillian on such an incredible

accomplishme

nt! The team

was also lead

by their two

seniors Rachel

Beltran and

Maggie Scalzo,

and junior

Captain Abby

Ptanski. Even

though their

season fell

short, the Lady

Bucks never

gave up in any

of their games!

Congratulations girls!

Cross Country

By: Megan McDonough

Our cross country team may have finished with a 6-13 record,

but they never stopped fighting. They were led by captains

Danielle Higgins, Matt Murray and Celia Hartshorn. Junior

Matt Murray came in 1st place at the district meet with a

remarkable time of 17:35. He has qualified for states, and I

wish him the best of luck. The first Lady Buck runner to cross

the finish line at districts was sophomore Nicole Marzacco

with a time of 24:14. Unfortunately she missed the state meet

by three places, but she still has two more seasons to reach

that goal. Congratulations to all runners on a great season!

Golf

By: Megan McDonough

This year’s golf team finished with a winning record of 7-5-1,

losing the first round of playoffs to Forest City. The seniors

leading the team were Joe Palko, Jimmy McHale, Jenna

Lopatka and Carly Tallo. Jenna Lopatka qualified for districts

two years in a row,

being one of the

only female golfers

at DHS to

accomplish this feat.

You go girl! For the

boys, Joe Weber was

a standout player

who qualified for the

boys’ district match.

He was rewarded for

his accomplishments

by being named to

the Division 3 1st

team All-Stars.

Congratulations Joe, and all golf team members on an

incredible season!

Let’s Get SPOOKY

By: Mary Fergueson

Welcome, one and all, to the new SPOOKTACULAR

edition of the Crimson Courier! It’s a new school year

here at good ole’ Dunmore High and your school

newspaper has the scoop on what is going on. I, Mary

Ferguson, am this year’s Opinions editor, here to share

the wisdom and whimsy of my two staff writers. As

Halloween is fast approaching, we have accordingly

planned a frightfully fun article for your entertainment.

In this edition, we are talking about everything

Halloween-ie! Including the pumpkin obsession that

seems to take over America every time the leaves start to

change (“It’s the Great Pumpkin Latte, Charlie Brown!”)

and the scary, terrifying world of STRESS!!! (and

how to deal with it!) Yes, we have a good time planned

for you so sit back with a handful of Halloween candy

and ENJOY!!!!!!

The Essence of Autumn

By: Ryan Carey

Every horseman needs a head. Not just any head

will do, however. A topper of great stature and

symbolism is required. Sitting atop that great thundering

demon is the autumnal emblem of the blossoming

season. Sitting atop that great thundering demon is the

flowering flavor of the flamboyant fall. Sitting atop that

great thundering demon is a pumpkin, the essence of

autumn.

There is no more true representation of the

season than the pumpkin. It conveys a figure so

haunting, contains a zest so distinct. From the stretched

smirk of a jack-o’-lantern, to the flying fling of a

pumpkin sling, pumpkins are visually everywhere this

time of year. Equally affected is taste. Nearly every meal

you have can be doused with that superb pumpkin

flavor. Examples are countless: pumpkin pie, pumpkin

bread, pumpkin

coffee, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin ice-cream,

pumpkin chili, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin

doughnuts, and even pumpkin cookies! Yum!

Pumpkins display a complete model of the

autumnal season. They are the essence of autumn.

Every horseman needs a head, and everyone with a

head knows that pumpkins are the head of the

season!

Little Victories

By: Maria Errico

In the midst of this busy time of year, I think

we all get too stressed out, and sometimes we lose

our priorities and even ourselves. We tend to

consider things as black and white, wins and losses.

Just because we didn’t completely succeed at some

task we were given, doesn’t mean we’ve lost. It’s

just a stepping stone, a piece to learn from, and the

world is not going to end. (But if you’re like me,

and you like charts, and you think the world might

end, go ahead. Put your “loss” in the loss column.

But do me a favor. Put a win in the column as well.)

We fail to notice that we win at something every

day; it simply depends on our outlook.

I am guilty of having a poor outlook on

certain things. I constantly put my world into

categories, separated by wins and losses. But

normally, the losses outnumber the wins. I suppose

that’s because I don’t

always realize how much

I really am winning. So

my advice is this:

Consider what really is a

win and a loss, and try to

make the wins outnumber

the losses. If you can’t

come up with wins, you

are either searching too

hard, or you should make some up. If you are trying

to become a better sibling, you are winning. If you

helped out a friend, you are winning. If you simply

made someone laugh or smile, you are winning.

See, the world is full of wins. We just have to start

recognizing them.

2014 Fall Fashion

By: Jenna Kimmerle

The leaves on the trees are changing, pumpkin

coffee is back at Dunkin Donuts, and Roba’s is open

again for another

year. Along with fall,

comes colder

weather and fall

fashion. Here are the

latest trends for all of

your fall activities.

Orange is a very

popular color for this

season, but before

you say that color

looks bad on me, try

different shades to fit

your skin tone. Long

boxy jackets are

another trending

item. They would be

great to wear at cold

Friday night football games. Also, the sixties are making

a comeback. A-line dresses are very popular this year

and would be great for fall parties. Slouchy wide leg

pants are also very in style for this time of year and

besides looking great they are also very comfortable! Do

not forget to pair any of these items with a great pair of

riding boots to look fashionable and keep warm!

Miss Molly

Dear Miss Molly,

What are fun activities for my friends and me to do

during the fall nights?

Sincerely, I’m tired of the movies.

Dear I’m

tired of the

movies,

I understand

your

dilemma.

Why don’t

you and your

friends head

to Roba’s or Dracula’s Forest. A haunted hay ride or a

trip around the corn maze will surely solve those movie

blues.

Sincerely, Miss Molly

Crafts with Casey: Autumn Wreath Fall Edition

By: Casey Genett

Fall is such a wonderful season, especially in

Northeastern Pennsylvania. Who doesn’t love watching

the leaves change beautiful shades of red, orange, and

yellow, the fashion trends, the activities, and, just,

everything? In this edition of The Crimson Courier, I

hope you all learn how to make this homemade autumn

wreath.

What you need:

2 grapevine wreaths (1 small, 1 large)

Brown craft wire

A metal coat hanger

Wire cutter

Decorative berries

Decorative or real leaves

Pinecones

Hot glue or super glue

The first thing you should do is gather the

supplies (if you plan on using real leaves from the great

outdoors, you can find plenty of ways online on how to

preserve them). Then, put the small wreath inside of the

larger

one.

Bind

the

two

togeth

er and

attach

the

hanger

using

the

wire.

The

next

step is

to cut

small

pieces

of wire

to tie the berries to the wreath. Finally, tuck the leaf

stems into narrow openings in the wreath, and glue the

base (right above the stem) of the leaves and the

pinecones to the wreath. Now you can hang and show

off your new, gorgeous decoration anywhere you please!

What’s in My Oven?

By: Gina Bernotsky

Frosted Fun for Fall

Hello all! I’d like to share an amazingly tasty recipe

that’s a great treat for Autumn! One ingredient that

makes it best for the fall is pumpkin. Because pumpkins

typically grow

best in the fall,

this recipe for

about four dozen

frosted pumpkin

cookies is

perfect for the

season! The

recipe is as

follows:

Cookies:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar (and here’s a little

hint: spoon it out of the bag and into the measuring cup,

so that you can get the correct amount of this ingredient

in your recipe)

1 cup canned pumpkin (or if you would like to go

fresher or can’t seem to get your hands on a can of

pumpkin, you can use 15 oz of fresh pumpkin, or even

sweet potato!)

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups QUAKER oats (quick or old fashioned,

uncooked)

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (same rule about spooning the

flour into a measuring cup goes for this as it does for the

brown sugar)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or you can substitute ground

cinnamon)

¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Frosting:

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon milk

½ teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups powdered sugar ( again, spooning into the

measuring cup)

Yellow and red food coloring (optional, only to make the

frosting an orange color for fall)

To bake these, set preheat oven to 350 degrees. First beat

together the butter and sugars until creamy. Next, add

the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; beat well. Then, add the

combined oats, flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice,

and salt; mix well. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for

10 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for one

minute on cookie sheets, and then let cool completely on

a wire rack.

To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese, milk,

and vanilla until smooth. Next, gradually, beat in

powdered sugar until smooth. You can then add food

coloring if desired and frosting the cookies!

Enjoy!

Broadway News Update

By: Riley McNally

J. M. Barrie once said in his famous novel Peter Pan,

"second star to the right and straight on till morning."

Maybe now he would say second star to the right and

straight on till March. That's right! "Finding Neverland"

will be hitting the big Broadway stage starting its

previews in March; and opening to the public in April.

"Finding Neverland"

was adapted from the

2004 film about

Barrie and his play

"Peter Pan". Sources

state that Matthew

Morrison (Mr. Shoe

from gLee) was

being recruited to

play Barrie in the

musical. But, the cast

list remains a

mystery just like

Neverland. Finding

Neverland will be

playing in the Lunt-

Fontanne Theatre

and is scheduled to open on April 8, 2015. And as J.M.

Barrie once said, "never is an awfully long time." Well I

thank that lucky second star to the right that we don't

have to wait such a long time to see "Finding Neverland"

on Broadway.

Robin Williams and the Art of Comedy

by: Timothy Hopkins

As many people have heard by now, famed

comedian Robin Williams has passed away. Today, I

wanted to talk about his legacy, and what he did to

comedy.

His biggest influence on comedy had to have

been his

stand-up

routines.

The way he

could tell a

bad joke,

and then

tell about 4

other

hilarious

jokes right

off the bat is astounding. He also was a great voice-

actor. In his stand-up bits, he was such a funny

impersonator, and was greatly talented in that act.

Although he was enormously successful in

stand-up comedy, he was even bigger in the acting

business. Some of his best movies like Aladdin and The

Birdcage offer us some of his unique acting chops.

Besides being a comedic actor, he also was a talented

dramatic actor as

well. Dead Poets

Society and Good

Morning, Vietnam

are some of the best

movies of the past

few decades.

However, one movie

of his has managed to

truly stand the test of

time. Good Will

Hunting has some of the greatest performances of all

time. Particularly from Robin Williams. It truly shows

how much of a talent he is.

Robin Williams was, no, still is one of the

greatest entertainers of all time. From his stand-up bits to

his acting, Robin Williams will always be remembered

as a unique artist in his own right.

The Arabian Nights (One Thousand and One Nights)

By: Justine Lim

As the leaves

change, new

chapters in our

lives come. The

most exciting

part of the new

school year is

the upcoming

fall play! The

drama

department plays

a huge role in

our school with

raising funds

and entertaining

an audience! The

Fall play this

year is Arabian Nights by Gay Monteverde. The cast list

is very competitive this year since there are numerous

talented student in our school auditioning! Mr. & Mrs.

McGurl never seem to fail with making the plays as

fantastic as they can be!

The Arabian Nights

is a compilation of tales

from the Islamic Golden

Age created by various

authors over hundreds of

years. However, the story

centers on the sultan

Shahrayar and his wife,

Shahrazad. This play is the

perfect combination of

comedy and drama. People

of all ages would definitely

enjoy this lighthearted comedic Drama masterpiece!

The Sunday Times said The Arabian

Night is, "A magnificent, unexpurgated edition of the

greatest collection of folk tales in the world!" The

Drama department will surely put their 110% into

Arabian Nights as they always do! They never fail to

entertain a crowd. I definitely recommend seeing this

play!
