Prom 2013: A Night to Remember
By: Briana Woodworth
Prom is something that everyone gets excited for and it takes a lot of prepping. The juniors had to invite,
order and decorate everything for that one special night while the seniors sat back and enjoyed their last high
school dance.
This year’s theme was The Great Gatsby and the entire City Hall was done up like the 1920’s. There were
two chocolate fountains, one milk chocolate and the other white with many assorted fruits and pretzels to dip
into them. The juniors also made up a bar where Mr. Northerns and Mr. Duell served up drinks (nonalcoholic of
course) such as Skyscrapers, Russian Tea and Charger Punch. There were lights everywhere and cardboard cut
outs of different people from that era. There was even a chandelier above the dance floor created from an old
timpani head.
Prom queen, Jessica Munoz said, “The decorations were awesome. I had a lot of fun. It was so intensely awesome that I won Prom queen.”
At 7:45 the grand march started. It started with seniors and their dates and then the juniors with their dates.
After the grand march, the seniors lined up for the crowning of the king and queen. Mrs. Simoneau was the announcer for the evening. The candidates were, Mark Evans, Jessica Munoz, Ruben Flores, Mats Kaiser and Regan
Unruh. The prom king and queen were Ruben Flores and Jessica Munoz! They had the first dance of the night and
then the rest of the senior class joined in. After that the parents were asked to leave and the dance started. The
dance went from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
After the dance, the juniors had to stay and clean up a little bit and everyone and their dates had to change
and get to the school by 11:45, so they could make their way to the Raz in Hutchinson for after prom. Once they
got there, they could eat, play the
Wii, or play casino games. Once
everyone was done, the students
went back to the school for prizes.
The seniors all got a gift that was at
least $100 and then they also got
smaller prizes. Around 5 a.m. the
students were released to go home
and finally go to sleep.
A big thank you goes out to all of
the parents, sponsors and anyone
and everyone that helped with Prom
and After-Prom.

Seniors have a blast NHS helps package
while in Kansas City food with Numana
By Jessica Munoz
By Emily Leonard
The weekend of April 13th was the senior trip. The seniors went to Kansas
City.
The seniors woke up pretty early Saturday morning, because the class was
scheduled to leave at 6:30 a.m. As tired faces roamed the parking lot, bags
were checked and students spoke about how tired they were and how excited
they were for the trip. Three hours and one bathroom stop later, the group
finally arriving in Kansas City. The first stop was Worlds of Fun.
After being at World of Fun from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the class
enjoyed Outback Steakhouse for dinner, and an amazing waiter. The class has
some fun, including joking around with the waiter, playing the “phone game”,
and watching Mark Evans and Tommy Seymour guzzle down a good 15 pops
put together.
To top off the evening, Mrs. Zehr forgot to put the credit card in the reciept
book and we left the Steakhouse. Luckily, Mr. Bruton had done a second
check by the table and noticed a bill with no payment. He then came out and
ask Mrs. Zehr if she paid. Oops, she forgot in all the chaos. Come to find
out, the senior class almost dined-and-dashed on a nearly $400 ticket. After
going back and paying the bill and many blonde jokes later, the class went back
to the hotel for a nice swim.
The next day, the senior class explored the Legends mall. After a couple
hours of shopping and walking around, the class ate lunch at the famous Dave
and Busters. Food was eaten, games were won, and toys were bought. Dave
and Busters is an adult version of Chuck E. Cheese. The seniors acted like
kids again when they bragged and yelled about games they won.
After the excitement at Dave and Busters, the class left Kansas City. But
the fun didn’t stop there. The girls’ van played exciting word games, while the
boys’ van just relaxed after a long weekend.
“It was a fun experience and I’m glad I got to spend it with my classmates,”
said Regan Unruh.

On April 9th the members of the National
Honor Society, Ruben Flores, Jessica Munoz,
Gentry Roberts, and Briana Woodworth, along
with the advisor, Mr. Duell, traveled to Kansas
Wesleyan University in Salina. The group
stopped and ate at Spangles before heading over
to the University to help an organization called
Numana with a hunger project.
Mr. Duell said, “I really enjoyed it because
you seldom have an opportunity to do so much
good for people in just two hours.”
Numana is an organization that packages
one cup rice, half cup soy, fourth cup of beans,
and a packet of vitamins, all in a 12 ounce bag.
This little bag contains six servings and only
220 calories. These are delivered to people in
need who then boil the contents of the bag all
together to eat.
Ruben Flores said, “It was a fun experience
helping kids and people around the world that
are starving. I would do it again if I could.”
In just two hours, the National Honor Society
alone packaged around 500 bags, however with
everyone else’s help that was there too there
were approximately 5,000 bags packaged by the
time they left. The company goal for the day
was 80,000 bags and they packaged 90,000 bags.

Unruh ready for
graduation day
By: Briana Woodworth
Regan Unruh is one of the twelve
seniors at Burrton High. Regan has
been going to Burrton School since
she was in preschool and is ready
to see the world outside of Burrton
High.
She is going to miss all of the
people she sees every day and all of
the inside jokes she and her friends
make at the lunch table such as:
*CRAB HANDS!* and many others.
Regan’s favorite high school
memory is when she and Briana
Woodworth had to make a dance
using only volleyball moves and
they decided to dance to the
song “Can’t Touch This.” Regan’s
favorite teacher is Mr. Jensen and
her favorite class is government
and Mrs. Toews’ English class. Her
least favorite class is any math
class.
Next year Regan plans on attending Fort Hays State University.

Kaiser will miss Burrton
By: Emily Leonard
Foreign exchange student Mats Kaiser
is one of the 12 seniors that are going to
graduate this May. Mats came to us from
Germany and is living with host parents Bob
and Kim Ryan.
Mats’ favorite sport is soccer, and he
played it while he lived in Germany. Burrton
High School doesn’t have soccer, but that
doesn’t mean he didn’t do any sports. Mats
participated in cross countr y, basketball, and
track.
Mats’ least favorite subject is English,
and his favorites are weights, histor y,
and science. His favorite teachers are Mr.
Hoopes, Mr. Jensen, and Mr. Duell. “Quitters
never win, and winners never quit” is Mats’
favorite quote.
Mats says that he’ll have to go back to
Germany to finish school, and he’ll probably
have to go to college there. Mats said if he’s
able to, he would definitely come back to
America to go to college. In ten years, he
sees himself with a girlfriend, a good job
and a big house.
Mats is going to miss his close friends
and the welcoming people here in Burrton.
He’s going to miss playing basketball at the
local courts, and his host family, the Ryan’s.

Young love may be worse than what
meets the eye
By: Gentry Roberts
Dating is at the forefront of
many young minds. Beginning
at the time children start
socializing, relationships
of some kind are an area of
interest. Even Kindergarteners
may refer to another student
as his or her “boyfriend” or
“girlfriend.” This is usually
just harmless fun, but when
young people begin to think
that pairing up is a necessary
practice for a teenager, many
other issues can occur.
It has become such a
social stigma to be accepted
when one is in a relationship.
Teenage boys and girls alike
feel the need to be accepted.
This expectation can lead to
codependence and abusive
relationships in the future.
Teenagers need to use their
high school years to develop
their own personality and
values.
“For one, people can think
it is okay to get too intimate
and end up having babies. If
they get attached too young
and break up they can get
depressed and even lose
friends over it.” Said Dakotah
Baumann.
Many more young people
that one would expect are
participants in or victims of
verbal and emotional abusive
relationship. Young brains lack
important communication
and compromise skills.
Attempting to maintain a
serious relationship without
proper knowledge on how to
communicate can lead to many
hurt feelings and eventually
cause self-esteem and selfimage issues.

Jokes are fun and games
unless someone gets hurt
By: Gentry Roberts
Along with flowers and sunshine, April brings
its share of jokes. April Fools’ Day is a long
standing tradition around the world. The exact
origin of April Fools’ is unknown. There are some
theories, though.
One theory is that the first day of the New
Year used to fall on April 1st when Pope Gregory
XIII ordered the new Gregorian calendar to
replace the old Julian one. The first day moved
to January first. Many people did not want to
adjust and some tricked and fooled them in order
to mock their traditional values. The hole in this
theory is that many European countries did not
adopt this calendar until years after April Fools’
Day was established in their country.
One explanation of the holiday was a joke
itself. A professor at Boston University said that
a group of jesters claimed they could rule the
country better than their leader, Constantine.
Constantine allowed one of his jesters to rule the
country for one day. The jester proclaimed that
there should be absurdity throughout the land.
The tradition stuck. However, the professor later
claimed that this was all a tall tale.
Most likely, considering many countries and
cultures world wide celebrate a similar day, the
tom foolery is brought about by the lighthearted
feelings that come from winter fading to spring.
A couple of Burrton students put on their
own pranks and fell for some too. The popular
website YouTube made a video informing its
users that every YouTube video would be
reviewed and only the best would remain on the
site. Ali Roberts fell for this joke.
“I saw a video that YouTube posted saying
that YouTube was deleting all but one video. My
brother showed me and I fell for it until I saw
what day it was. It was funny.” She commented.
Tommy Seymour played a cruel joke on his
mother. “I told my mom I got into a car wreck.
She yelled at me.”
Whether your jokes are light hearted or
someone is offended, try to take part in the
enjoyable event that arrives every year.

Wichita State
Shocks Kansas
By: Brianna Robinson
Many people in Burrton usually root for
their favorite basketball team of either K-State
or Kansas University; but this year fans all
over Kansas were rooting for a lesser known
team, the Wichita State Shockers.
Seventh
grader Haddie
Kent said, “It
was shocking.
I can’t believe
that such an
unlikely team
made it that far.
I’m originally
a Kansas fan, but once Wichita started climbing to the top, I hopped on the Wichita State
bandwagon.”
After some crazy victories the Shockers
made history and for the first time since 1965
they played in the National Semi-Finals. The
Shockers went into this game as a No. 9 seed
and a 30-9 record facing a No. 1 seeded team
that had a 38-2 record. Throughout most of
the game Wichita dominated Louisville dropping bucket after bucket, leading by as much
as 12 points. Unfortunately the Shockers just
couldn’t keep the lead and with less than five
minutes left, the Louisville Cardinals won the
game 72-68.
Junior Bailey Terry said, “Some very unfair fouls were called against Wichita. I was
screaming at my TV the whole game; I just
couldn’t keep my composure. I was very mad
that they lost the game, but over all it is an
amazing thing to me that the Shockers even
made it that far. Now, no matter what, I’m a
fan of the Wichita State Shockers.”

By: Brianna Robinson
By: Bailey Terry
Small schools get a bad reputation by some.
Some think you won’t go very far and there are
not a lot of opporutnities out there, but they
are wrong. Small schools have just as many opportunities if not more than some of the bigger
schools. No, you may not get into that Division
I school for sports like you want, but it doesn’t
mean your dream has to stop. If you work hard
in high school, earn your way onto a small college or a JuCo and then earn your way up to a D1
school it is possible.
Nathan Harper said, “I think that going to a
community college is not a bad idea. It is a lot
cheaper to start out. Also, I believe that working
hard can get you somewhere in sports.”
Having graduated from Burrton, you wouldn’t
expect to go to a big university to play a sport
right away. But, if you work hard enough you
might. Community colleges are great schools to
get picks up by for sports. They allow you to hone
your skills and have a better opportunity at the
next level. But it isn’t just about sports. You can
leave Burrton with a great education and a plan
to be anything you want. Students have went on
to be doctors, lawyers, Air Force intelligence officers, pilots, and much more.
Trae Lane said, “I have cross country and track
We have all met someone who needs something in
their life, whether it’s something minor or something
major. Scientist have made a breakthrough for many
of those that need something major: like a kidney.
Sophomore Zach Hardin said, “I think that’s pretty
cool that they can reproduce a human organ, especially a kidney because those are very complex.”
It’s reported that over 7,000 people are in need of
a kidney transplant. Now, with the technology that
some scientist has discovered they have transported
and grown a kidney that may one day be possible for
humans to have in their own body. When they stuck
this laboratory grown kidney into an animal the kidney was able to filter the animal’s blood and produce
urine, the main functions of a kidney. Also this complex human made organ can be used to restore healthy
tissue in a human organ that is already present in their
body.
Junior Chanteau Byrd said, “That brings hope to
me that they can make kidneys because my mom is on
the waiting list and now maybe she won’t have to wait
much longer.”

Gun laws may not be a good thing
By: Bailey Terry
I believe that being able to own a gun is a big thing and a right people should have. People should be able
to have a conceal and carry license, but they need to do a background check so we aren’t just giving guns to
anybody. Guns should be used for self-defense reasons, protection and hunting only and not just to have one.
Many states are trying to ban the conceal and carry right and guns in general, but everyone has their own opinions and should have their own rights according to our consititution.
Taylor Gottschalk said, “I would not be a very happy person if guns were banned in Kansas. It would cost my
family a lot of money. Personally, I would find a way to get a gun and still go hunting somehow.”
Banning guns outright would cause a lot more problems. A lot of families in Burrton hunt deer or birds, which
saves some a lot of money without having to buy meat all the time. I also think that crime would go up rather
than down if we took all guns away. Simply because those people that want a gun to kill somone are going to
find a way to get a gun no matter what, but then the people who need them to protect themselves have nothing
becasue they followed the law. It would change how and why crimes were committed. Trying to implement these
types of laws does not make President Obama a very popular guy. Yes, there have been some tragic incidents
involving guns, but take a look at the person behind the
gun, not the gun itself.

Growing up around hunting, it would be a big deal
not to have our guns anymore. I feel like I would not be symptoms of clinical depression. They may also
