Roller Skating

and Roller Derby

by: Hailey Wild

Roller Skating is a fun sport. I go skating all weekend with my family and friends. It is hard, but if you keep trying you will get better. You can skate outside or at a roller rink inside. You should try it­­you might like it!

I will be on a Roller Derby team. Roller Derby is a sport that is very hard. You will fall, and you will be pushed into people, but it is fun! They are thinking about putting Roller Derby in the Olympics.

I love my cat BAYMAX!!!!!!!

by Katey Banks

Fashion is a statement. Sometimes those statements sound better than others. Each good statement you say makes you look better and feel better, and that is what fashion is to me. The beauty of fashion is that even if you don’t dress in “style” (according to others) it is something you can still love. I am a good example of this. I don’t always keep up with the trends every other girl is doing, but still I’m passionate for the topic. I love drawing dresses, hats, and overall outfits.

One type of fashion I love is the 50’s style. I love the fanned skirts, beautiful hats, and the lovely scarves the women of the 50’s wore. My favorite fashion icon of the time is Audrey Hepburn's look. She wore her elegant and sophisticated look perfectly and every outfit she wore was so classy. Even today, her amazing sense of style carries on.

I asked one of my fellow newspaper club members, Shayne Wassel, what she thinks about fashion. I asked her if she likes fashion. Shayne responded, “Kind of!” When I asked what her style was she said, “I like casual. I like sweatshirts.” Shayne also said that she liked tie dye clothing and her favorite store to shop at is Abercrombie.

As you can see, the style different girls wear may vary, but one thing that we all have in common is that we all use fashion. Whether it is one of the things we love or not, it’s is a thing we all can relate to.

Many students loved the photo booth at the dance!

A lot of students loved to dance last Friday night!

My cat Baymax is one of the friendliest cats you will ever meet. When you walk in the door he will go right up to you. He will give you a hug by putting his arms around

your neck.

HE’S FLUFFY :]

5 Nights At Freddy’s By: Shayne Wassell

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a famous horror game, made and tested by Scott Cawthon. There are 4 generations in the game. There’s also a place that is not mentioned in the game, but is part of the story in the game. The “threat” in this game is the animatronics (or robots) that appear in the game. This game was one of the top horror games in 2014­2015. The first game is set at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. The player is the Night Guard (also known as Mike Schmidt) of the pizzeria. The goal of the game is to survive 12 am to 6 am without being jump­scared by any of the animatronics that roam at night. The names of the animatronics are Freddy Fazbear (an animatronic bear, Bonnie The Bunny (animatronic bunny), Chica The Chicken (animatronic chicken), and Foxy The Pirate Fox (animatronic fox). The second game is located in The New And Improved Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. The player is still a night guard also (known as Jeremy Fitzgerald). The animatronics are all upgraded. The animatronics are Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Toy Foxy (Mangle), Balloon Boy, and The Marionette Puppet. This time there are no doors to close to keep the animatronics out. The player only has the camera, a flashlight, lights in the office, and an empty Freddy Fazbear mask. The old animatronics from the pizzeria before are all withered and broken. This is the game with a lot of hallucinations, like Shadow Bonnie, Balloon Girl,and Purple Freddy. The third game is a place called Fazbear’s Fright. The main animatronic is named Spring Trap. There are phantoms also like Phantom Foxy, Phantom Freddy, Phantom Chica, Phantom Mangle, Phantom Balloon Boy, and Phantom Marionette Puppet. Here the guard’s name is Kevin Rodney or Fritz Smith. There are no doors. There is only a camera and a screen that fixes sound devices, ventilation, and other. The panel basically reboots things like that. The fourth and final game takes place in a room. The little boy in the room is known as the Crying Child. The animatronics are now all nightmares or plushies, like Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare, Nightmare Bonnie, Chica,Mangle, Balloon Boy, and Marionette Puppet. The plushies are Plushie Fredbear, Chica, Freddy, Bonnie, and Foxy. There is also Plushtrap and Mangle as a toy.

Cage is the Rage by Caroline Ausema

We all know the fabulous, A-list Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage, but do you REALLY know Nick we all know and love? Nic has gotten teeth pulled, eaten cockroaches, and walked on hot coals to get into character, so obviously he’s willing to do whatever it takes to be the best actor ever. Not many believe it, but Nic dropped out of high school his sophomore year after passing his GED to pursue an acting career. This led to changing his name from Nicolas Kim Coppola to Nicolas Cage in order to separate his identity from his famous uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, a film director.

Fun Facts:

He and Michael Jackson were both married to Lisa Marie Presley. Nicolas has a large tattoo on his back of a lizard in a top hat (for his love of reptiles) After having an unsuccessful first role in a movie, Nic pursued a job selling popcorn in

movie theatres (no wonder he’s so rich).

He filed a lawsuit after being accused of “stealing a Chihuahua”. Nicolas Cage is a man of mysteries, and there’s so much more we don’t know. __________________________________________________________
