History of Halloween By: Kimber Lee

The beloved holiday of candy and costumes wasn’t always about cavities and favorite charac-

ters. Halloween is basically a shortened version of ‘All Hallows Eve’ which takes place the

evening of ‘All Hallows Day’ [November 1]. Go figure, right? All Hallows Day was a day of

festivities, feasts, honoring the dead, and scaring away death. On All Hallows Eve, folks

would set carved pumpkins in front of their door, so when death came to claim the home

owners, it would be frightened of their jack-o-lanterns and leave them alone.

The tradition of trick-or-treating comes from Ye Olde England. The British had their

own version of All Hallows Eve, called ‘All Souls Day’. On All Souls Day, there was a

‘parade’ of poor/homeless people who would go from door to door begging for food. Fami-

lies would give the poor folks a rice patty type pastry called ‘Soul Cakes’, but only if the

poor family would pray for the deceased loved ones of their benefactor.

Dressing up in costumes wasn’t always a fashion show. On All Hallows Eve people could-

n’t just stay inside hoping that their jack-o-lanterns scared away death, so when they had to

leave their homes, they would wear a mask so that if they ran into death, it wouldn’t recog-

nize them.

In early Halloween history, there was a big emphasis on marriage. People believed that if

they peeled and apple and threw the apple peels over their left shoulder, the peels would

land in the shape a the first initial of their future spouse. There were many other customs

that the single people of appropriate age [girls, mostly] would perform to try and find their

future spouse.

Looking for Halloween

costume ideas? Look no

further. A consumer

report has estimated

that the country will

spend 2.5 Billion on

costumes this year.

However, there is no

need to spend money.

Here are some inexpen-

sive ideas for a phenom-

enal Halloween cos-

tume. “The Bed Bug” -

Leave your PJs on and

use a headband to make

antennas. “The Ceiling

Fan” Make some small

flags out of paper that say “Go Ceiling.” “The Nerd” - Wear a

plaid shirt tucked into your best looking floods with some

glasses and a couple pens in your pocket. “Facebook” - Wear

white and blue, and paint “book” on your face. “Life” - Paint

the word “life” on your shirt and have a basket of lemons

that you give to people. Some people already have good ideas.

The Corn Maze Too old to Trick-or-Treat

Do you, students of Hurricane High School, feel you are too

old to Trick-Or-Treat? If so, here are some other activities

you can do to keep your Halloween fun and exciting. If you

like dark and scary, you could go to the haunted corn maze in

Washington or even a haunted house. If that doesn’t sound

like fun, you could go see a scary movie like “Paranormal

Activity: the Ghost Dimension,” “Insidious Chapter 3,” or

“The Visit.” Another thing that is always fun, is going to a

party. Matthew Arscott. a senior here at Hurricane high

said, “I will be spending my Halloween crashing a dope par-

ty.” There are many parties going on in St. George, including

one right out of St. George past the Gorge, starting at

8:00pm. If you don’t like being

scared or going to parties, another

option could be to just hang out

with friends and have a good time.

I am sure all of these would make

your Halloween one to remember.

Make sure to have a fun and safe

Halloween.

Each year, Staheli Family Farm puts on a grand

festival. Every October through Halloween, they

recreate a Halloween filled environment. The ac-

tivities include a corn maze, a petting Zoo,

swings, a mini theater, and other activities for

family and friends. The corn maze is one of the

main attractions. Known as, "The Field of

Screams" it is only for ages 12 and up because

monsters chase you, zombies sneak up on you,

and things scream at you. Though nerve racking,

it is an extremely fun, and daring adventure! Sta-

heli Family

Farm has

been running

since 1898.

That’s a total

of 117 years!

Y o u a r e

bound to have

a great time.

Do you want to get run over or very lost in the mid-

dle of the night? Then, make sure you’re safe on

Halloween. If you are planning on trick-or-treating,

go out with a group of friends. Never go alone and

stay on the sidewalks. If you’re wearing a costume

that’s hard to see in the dark, it’s suggested to wear

some kind of reflective tape so cars can see you,

and you can avoid an accident. Take a flashlight or

glow sticks so you and others around you can see

better. Stick to familiar neighborhoods where you

know where you’re going. Take a cell phone in case

of emergencies and be home at a reasonable time.

Be mindful of the little kids around you. They are

there to have fun on Halloween as well, and they

really look up to the “big” kids, so be nice and

friendly to them.

If you are driving

on Halloween,

keep your eyes

open and be

aware for chil-

dren that may be

in the street.

So, remember to

have a safe and

fun Halloween.

Four teams compete, only one will walk away as champions.

Each boys’ Peach Fuzz team had 6-8 players. There were two

senior teams, one junior team, and one sophomore team. The

first senior team, was known as The Liberators; the second

called themselves, the Senioritas. The juniors were named Fue-

go, and last but not least the sophomore team, was known as the

Avengers.

For those of you that don’t know about Peach Fuzz, it is a lot like

men's volleyball. Peach Fuzz is where each grade creates a team

that they want to play with. Then they set up a time to practice

before they actually play. Afterwards, the teams get together to

compete against each other.

After plenty of practice and smack talk, the games finally began.

Every team played to 21 for the first game. At first, The Libera-

tors went against the Senoritas, and Fuego against the

Avengers. It was a hard fought game for both teams as they com-

peted to advance to the next round. In the end, the Avengers

beat out the team they were facing, and the Liberators defeated

the Senioritas. The winners went on to face each other in the

championship. Justin

Thomas said, “I felt

that we played good

and I didn’t really

care about the score

so I had a good time.”

In the end, the Liber-

ators won with a

small lead, but took

home the trophy that

they well deserved.

PAGE 3 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2

Hurricane High is presenting El Cheapo on No-

vember the 14th. This great event will start at

8:00 P.M. in the auxiliary gym. Tickets will be

five dollars per couple and you can purchase

them in the front office at the high school. Every-

one should attend this dance because it is not

only cheap, but anyone can ask anyone. Here is

the catch! Whoever gets asked has to pay. So

there is no reason for you not to be there! So get

off your lazy derrière and get out there and ask

someone. The cheapest date will be awarded a

prize at the end of the dance. So make sure you

keep your dates as cheap as possible. After all,

who wants to pay for someone else’s future

spouse. If you end up without a date for whatever

reason, come anyway! You can buy a personal

ticket for three dollars at the door. Allan Madsen,

a senior here at Hurricane High explained,

“What sets El Cheapo apart from other dances is

that you do not have to spend so much to have a

good time!”

What Would You Do if Bats

Were in the School?

By: Jazmyn McMahon

Bats have been getting into the school and it’s no

secret anymore. The majority of the bats have been

in the library. However, on October 19, 2015 a bat

happened to wander into the gym during the annual

Peach Fuzz volleyball game. Mrs. Eves said that

about two weeks previous to the peach fuzz game,

there was another bat in the gym during her aerobic

class. Which means this is no fluke.

When asked about how the bats might be getting in,

Cora Downard said, "I thinks the bats are getting

into the school by coming in the doors when they are

being opened and closed but also they may be find-

ing spots in the roof that they can come in through.”

Many of us believe this to be true. In fact, the librar-

ian said, “We believe they enter through a grating in

the roof above the computer area.” She later went on

to say, “Last year, we killed 4 bats

in the library. So far this year,

we've only seen one bat, but haven't

been able to catch/kill it. We're

used to seeing them now, and we

have an official "bat swatter" that

we use to smash them. In the be-

ginning, we were a little freaked

out, but now we simply grab the

swatter and get rid of them. Sad...

but true.”

The first round of playoffs start this

week for region 9 and along with

grabbing the intense win over the

Snow Canyon Warriors, our own

Hurricane Tigers clinched the 3rd

seed and a home game for the first

round of playoffs. This win was a

huge success for the Tigers who

came back in the 4th quarter to win

it. As the Tigers advance, they will

play 6th ranked Park City.

This may also seem like

deja-vu to some of the Hur-

ricane players who last year

played against the same

Park City team in the

playoffs. Kyler Blackmore

says, “The Road to Rice-

Eccles started way before

the playoffs started, we

have had that as our goal

since the beginning. But as practic-

es come in playoff week the atti-

tude is amped up and we are hun-

gry for more, we are bringing the

‘PAIN’ to fight for our chance to

play in Rice Eccles Stadium.” As

you can see, our Tigers are hungry

and ready for the Road to Rice-

Eccles.

Many believe that running is horrible, deathly, and overall just the

worst thing to ever do. The few who do cross country must be very

brave, crazy, but most likely both. Kody Watts says “Crazy? I am

insane to run, but it is one of the best things ever so I love it.” Mak-

ing it to state is a great achievement because many do not have the

opportunity or privilege to qualify. Kauri Smith- who passed out

near the end of the race- was still able to get up and finish, qualify-

ing for state! When asked how she felt at the moment, she knew

she was going to state she replied “I have always wanted to be able

to go to state, and the moment I found out was just amazing, I

thought I had lost it all when I fell but that pushed me even harder

and I found myself getting that qualifying time.” Coach Kidd-

Thomas is very excited for next year because her team is practical-

ly full of sophomores, juniors, and even a varsity runner as a

Freshmen! She says “This was a great year to get the younger kids

more prepared and ready for next year, I am very excited to have

most of my team back next

year.” Also, don’t forget to

give a big shout out to: Kody

Watts, Isaiah Kinikini, Elias

Kinikini, Christian Arm-

strong, Jesse Barraclough,

Tim Amodt, and Kauri

Smith for all making it and

competing at state!

On October 8th through October 11th,

eight members of Hurricane High

School’s Chamber Choir were a part of

the Utah All-State Choir in Salt Lake

City. This is quite an accomplishment

because only about 700 students are

invited to attend the event. On Thurs-

day morning, students from Hurri-

cane, Pine View, and Dixie piled into

a bus and were transported to north-

ern Utah. With over 16 hours of re-

hearsal, the gifted singers’ effort paid

off in the final performance, which

was held in the Salt Lake Tabernacle.

Caleb Furse said, “I don't think I'll

ever forget the final blasts of

those songs that echoed

throughout the tabernacle.” In

the words of Sarah Mangum:

“I learned how to be confident

about myself and my talent. I

was there for a reason, and

only I can hold myself back.”

All in all, the trip was a great

experience. The conductor was

determined to shape us into

experienced singers; and we all

came back with valuable

knowledge on how to better

our voices.

structure of languages.” Mr.

Mildenhall said “ Everyone in

the department knows his/her

stuff, works hard, and works as

a team. It's the top English de-

partment in the school district

and among the best in the state.

Oh yeah, and they're funny, es-

pecially when students aren't

around!”

Hurricane High school's English de-

partment is ranked number one in the

Washington County School District and

is among one of the best schools in the

state according to the 2014-15 Sage

testing results. Teachers were asked

when they are most satisfied, favorite

part, and how long they have been

teaching. Mrs. Browning said that “She

is most satisfied with her students

When they truly seem to be enjoying

Cullimore stated “The literature that I

English Department

former art student from HHS said, "The

black light display is really cool to go walk

through. Making a black light piece is also

really cool because the colors change in the

black light." Every piece in the black light

show is unique and eye catching with their

bright glowing colors. New this year, is that

the piece voted “Best of Show” will win a

cash prize! So for anyone who hasn’t seen

the black light show before, make sure to

head up to the third floor at the end of next

week and check it out!

Every October, Mr. Jones and the HHS

Art Department put together a Black

Light Art Show on the third floor of Hur-

ricane High School. The students from

his art classes get to create any picture

or project they want and have it dis-

played for the entire school under the

black lights. Some draw zombies, some

make patterned sculptures, and some

create pictures that change when they

are in normal light. Brayden Peterson, a

recliners, Durangos, and dessert! There

is a check-in office where you will buy

your ticket and order your food. You

then can order durangos and it will be

served to you. There will then be an

intermission halfway through the film,

where your trash is cleaned up and a

dessert is served. The tickets

are $15 apiece, with an addi-

tional charge for food and

dessert. So come on in and

check it out! On another note,

there are some great upcom-

ing movies! The wait is near-

ly over for the fourth and fi-

nal instalment in the Hunger

Games series. “ Mocking Jay

part 2” comes out November

20th! May the odds be ever in

your favor! Some other mov-

ies are; The peanuts movie

Frankenstein, Spectre (The new James

Bond), and the long awaited Star Wars:

The Force Awakens! This movie has

all you Star Wars fans, December 18 is

the day to look forward to. So, this holi-

day season is going to be a good one at

Coral Cliffs Cinema 8. So go on over to

the theater, and make this holiday sea-

son a good one!

Remember When your Tamagotchi

pet ruled your life? Or when your

favorite expression was “Ya nas-

about when the most insulting lines

scariest show was Danny Phan-

tom?

Well, you’re not alone. Hurricane

High School is crawling with stu-

dents who vividly remember the

days when Disney Channel was

actually good, and when movies

seemed a lot more innocent than

they really are. So next time you

are in the mood to watch Emper-

or’s New Groove, don’t be embar-

rassed to quote Kronk with all of

the gusto he deserves. And if

you’re ever needing help with your

tamagotchi, don’t ask me. I killed

4-year-old Shot and Killed in Road Rage

PAGE 7 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2

Current Events

On Tuesday, October 20, 4-year-old Lily Garcia was shot in a

road rage incident. Policeman Chief, Gorden Eden, stated

that the man, Tony Torrez, confessed to the shooting on

Wednesday and was then taken into custody. Torrez, 32, con-

fessed that he opened fire on a red pick-up after the two vehi-

cles cut each other off on interstate I-40 in Albuquerque, New

Mexico. The red pick-up was occupied by Lily and her father.

Lily was shot but her father was unharmed. Torrez had been

previously arrested for aggravated battery, domestic violence,

and a violent incident involving a gun. Torrez now faces

charges of murder, assault, child abuse and others. His sen-

tence has not yet been specified at this time.

Many high school students have trouble when it comes to studying. It’s much easier to finish a Netflix marathon than to buckle down and read your textbook. But studying isn’t as hard as people make it sound. There is an abundance of strategies that are effective, easy, and will save your grades. Make a schedule. Set aside some time for a study session every day- but not too long. You wouldn’t want your brain to get fried. Take breaks. Study for 10-20 minutes at a time, taking a few minutes to rest in between. (Again, fried brains can’t func-tion very well.) Have incentives. It’s always nice to have a little prize at the end of working hard; so for every chapter read, page completed, line learned, etc, have something planned for afterwards. Ex-ample: One math problem = 1 gummy bear. Develop memory tricks. Have some-

one quiz you with flash cards. Use acrostics, such as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (Parentheses, expo-nents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) for the order of operations. Take notes and rewrite them. Writing something down a few times can engrain it in your mind. Ask questions. If you don’t understand something, talk to your teacher. In order to study a topic, you have to have at least a basic understanding of it. And most importantly: Sleep! No, not during a study session. But a big reason students today can’t focus while studying is that they’re still drowsy from the day before. Be sure to get enough rest at night to keep your-self functioning so you can focus properly. Bonus: 30 minute naps are known for giving you energy, so if you’re exhausted by the time you get home from school, take a half-hour nap, then study.

Late Tuesday night, police responded to a

report of a stabbing in the St. George area of

Dixie Downs. Police received a call reporting

an assault in progress at around 9:45 P.M.

and when police officials first arrived on the

scene, the victim had been stabbed twice-

once in the groin and then again in the

stomach. The victim is currently in stable

condition. The North Carolina man who as-

saulted the victim has been arrested on

charges of aggravated assault, in connection

with the stabbing.
