Midway High School won first place instate in the 2007 H-E-B Pharmacy-UILCommunity Service Competition. Theschool was awarded for the CommunityService and Involvement (CSI) Day, onApril 21, sponsored by PALS. “We were really excited because wehad won second place last year,” GailWood, freshman career connectionsteacher and PALS advisor, said. “I wasdetermined to win.” Principal Sharron Zachry was alsohappy with the results. “I was full of pride because I knewhow hard they worked,” Zachry said. “Iwas thrilled.” On CSI Day, 200 students joined tovolunteer in seven different locations inWaco area, including the zoo, nursinghomes, Waco Community Development,Friends for Life, Camp Hope, MissionWaco and Caritas. Each student helpedfor four hours, adding up to almost 1,000hours of community service just thatmorning. Wood wrote the report on the CSI Dayand turned it for the contest. The reportconsisted of the information of the eventand the hours of community service. “There was no set format for thecontest,” Wood said, “but I tried to make

it catchy with CSI Day this year. Ihad written the report on only caritaslast year.” Zachry received the letter ofcongratulations from UniversityInterscholastic League (UIL), and itinformed that there would be a prizeof $1,000. “Hopefully it can be spent fortraining or retreat for PALS,” Woodsaid.

Within the freshman class there are alot of people with the same last name,and it isn’t a coincidence. There aremore sets of twins and triplets in theclass of 2011 than in any other classever: eight sets of twins and three sets oftriplets. The sophomore class has fivesets of twins, the junior class has one setof triplets and three sets of twins, and thesenior class has four sets of twins. Cindi Evans, in the student servicesoffice, was surprised when she saw the

information as she was working thissummer. “I’ve been here 16 years and I’venever seen this many,” she said. If you know a Bates, Salinas, orMotloch, there are three of each. If you know a Dossey, Eakin,Hannan, Musselman, Ramos, orWebb, chances are you’ve mistakenone for the other as many are identi-cal. The Bates, Salinas, and Motlochtriplets have all attended Midwaysince kindergarten, Bates at Hewittelementary, Salinas and Motloch at

South Bosque. Even though Brandon, Brittany, andBrianna Bates have been here sincekindergarten, some students still havetrouble keeping their names straight. “People get us confused all the time,”Brianna said. As children, Brianna, Brandon, andBrittany had to wear the same clothes. “I hated it,” Brianna said. Andrew, Jaclyn, and Matthew Salinaswere color-coded by their mom: An

Midway still struggles with segregation, discrimination

OPINION2

Emily ReederOpinion Editor

Although public schools were firstdesegregated in 1957, it’s still an issueschools struggle with 50 years later.While this discrimination is no longernecessarily about race, our ownschool struggles with the self-segrega-tion of students by many factors,including race, religion, political views,appearance, or class. It’s time forchange. Midway High School has certainlymade progress in the last 50 years.Today, our school has students fromall over the country and all over theworld, each with different familybackgrounds and a unique way oflooking at the world. While this couldbe the basis for an amazing experi-ence, we’ve hindered ourselves bydividing into categories or hidingwithin our own clique. We don’t even realize the effect ofour own discrimination until we

examine our own wayof life and groups offriends. It could bethings as small as whatcomments you maketoward other groups oryour own unjustifiedfear of students differ-ent from you. It couldbe by race, what churchsomeone goes to, whatbrand of clothes theyare wearing, or howmuch money they have.More and more, it seems like studentstaking advanced classes are separatingfrom those who are not. It’s a ridicu-lous system to judge people by, andeveryone is hurt by it. What is it that’s still holding us back?Ourselves. You can’t blame it on theadministrators, the teachers, or eventhe school. Every day, each studentmakes a choice to continue thisstandard. We’re all guilty of judgingpeople based on their appearance or

who they affiliate themselves withrather than finding out what kind ofperson they truly are. So today, make a change. Startsmall – begin a conversation withsomeone you wouldn’t normally talk toor make an effort to be more open-minded. Everyone is capable, and ifwe all make an effort, then MidwayHigh School could become an evenmore amazing place to be.

Describe a time that a sterotypehas been used against you.

The most used stereotype against mewould definitely be the “Midway

Kid” stereotype. Also known as the“I’m rich and I party.” That’s not meat all. We may have some of those

kids, but doesn’t everyone? It’s sadthat all I have do is say the name of

my school and peopleimmediately assume things.

The stands are quiet, the lights fromabove shine down on the field allaround. Butterflies flutter ing the pit ofthe court’s stomach as theannouncer’s voice fillsthe air. The 2007-2008homecoming queen,Mandy Tamez stepsforward to be crowned.

“I was shocked actu-ally; a lot of the girls onthe court are just amaz-ing,” Tamez said. “Ididn’t really know who would winreally.”

It may seem like there wouldn’t bea lot for Tamez to do to prepare forhomecoming night. But there areactually many things she had to do.

“Well it was my birthday, and thenwe had to make sure that our dresseswere in dress code and ready for thatnight and then the rehearsals,” shesaid.

“Then there was the whole gettingmy priorities figured out and finishingup last minute school work. It was apretty stressful day.”

As excited as Tamez is there are stillsome responsibilities that she takes onas queen. For one she has to returnnext year to crown the next homecom-ing queen. But Tamez mentioned someother things she would like to do.

“I just want to try to set a goodexample for everyone, and be a goodrole model. I want to be the sameperson and not try to be someone I’m

not.” Tamez said.A homecoming queen

is traditionally expectedto uphold a certainimage. Tamez said thatshe wants everyone tohave high expectationsof her so she can sethigh standards.

“People voted for me, so obviouslythey want me to try and be a goodperson and set those examples andstandards for everyone. And also to berespected by everyone and to be ableto return the same amount of respect,to just be kind and to be looked up to.”

Since being nominated Tamez hopesto show everyone that she can repre-sent them as their queen.

“Like I said, I just want to try and bea leader and not take advantage of thefact that it’s a really high honor,” shesaid. “I just want to treat everyoneequally.”

HOMECOMING CARNIVAL SUCCESS

Homecoming. This one wordcontains so much meaning. It entailsdress up days at school, the footballgame, mums, garters, the queen, and,of course, the carnival. The carnival is a longtime tradition atMidway. It is held on Thursday nightin the middle school parking lot. Thereare booths from most of the clubs andorganizations at the high school, and isserves as a way to bring in a littleextra money for the club. From 6 to 8 p.m. is the actualcarnival, where students and visitorscan try out the different booths. Afew regular booths include the CakeWalk by the National Honor Society,Sausages on a Stick by the FutureFarmers of America (FFA), theGerman Club sells German-typesnacks, the Spanish Club sells machos,and DCP does an auction, wherestudents are auctioned off. After the carnival, everyone movesover to Panther Stadium. There is ashort pep rally, where the cheerleaders

get the crowd going. After the cheer-leaders, the homecoming court isintroduced. The court moves off thefield and the band moves comes on andperforms the marching show for theyear. After the band sits down, a verypopular part of the carnival occurs: thefireworks. There were a few new ideas at thecarnival this year. The Panther Playersoffered Dance, Dance Revolution, andPanther Patrol and Blue Crew had sockwrestling. Although many people go to thecarnival, few pause to think about thework that goes into it. Those likeSharon West, Student Council Sponsor,put in a lot of effort. “It’ s a project that takes months toplan,” West said. “The hardest partwas the small details right beforehand.Once it got started, things movedsmoothly.” Students differ in their opinion onfavorite parts of the carnival. “My favorite part is that the band willget to perform and it’s just a lot of fun,”Kristin Crone, a freshman on ColorGuard, said.

Every year during homecoming week,students and teachers show their spirit bydressing up for each different themed day.Whether it was rockin’ out for 80s day orbeing a twin for a day, students andfaculty alike really get into the groove forthe week.
