Two VHS students run for School Board
By Julie Farmer
Two VHS students
were recent candidates for
seats on the Vienna High
School Board of Education.
VHS seniors Larissa
Berning and Zach Garrett
were running in the April 5
election.
Both Berning and
Garrett are involved in
band, choir, and Madrigal at
VHS. They will be graduating on May 20, 2005.
Larissa Berning ran for
a four year term against
Stephen Colson, Kevin
Langston, Ben Adams,
Jerry Mount, Steve
Widowski, Billy Fairless,
Mitch Garrett, Dan Field,
Jarrett Johnson, Scott
Obourn, and John Summers.
Zach Garrett ran for the
two year term against
Norma Martin and Tammy
Morris.
Though neither student
won a seat in the election,
Berning had postitive things
to say afterward. “I
enjoyed the experience of
being involved in the
election. Even though I
didn’t get elected, I still feel
that people will see that I am
interested in being involved
in politics. I hope more
students get involved with
government.”
Larissa hopes to be
involved in more of our
local government in the
future. In the meantime, she
plans to go to Shawnee
College and is considering
studying music education.
Those elected to the
school board for a four year
term include: Jerry Mount,
John Summers, Scott
Obourn, and Billy Fairless.

On Thursday March
25, the jazz band had the
opportunity to entertain a
meeting in Metropolis that
included every Rotary Club
member from Marion to
Cairo.
This was the first time
that anyone in this 19 member band had the chance to
play these type of songs in
front of a group of people
this large.
Norma Martin was elected
to a two year term.
The newly elected
school board members will
be seated at the conclusion
of the April board meeting.
They will be joining current
board members Brenda
McKenzie and Morris Mott.
Zach Garrett and Larissa Berning both ran in the School Board election on April 5, 2005.
VHS Jazz Band Entertains local Rotary Clubs
For months now, the
brand new VHS Jazz band
nicknamed, “Colonel Bernal
and the Jive Turkeys,” have
been pain stakingly practicing several well known jazz
songs over and over in the
band room.
They have been practicing every Friday since December of 2004, awaiting
any “gig” that will come their
way.

“I was extremely nervous because it felt to me
that we hadn’t been practicing for very long at all, but
when we got there, there
was such a nice atmosphere
that it made me forget about
being nervous. I think that
we did a very nice job, and
I can’t wait until our next
show,” said Julie Farmer, a
junior jazz member.
The band will still be

April 30, when they hold the
Jazz Band Concert in the
VHS commons area.
Do not worry about attending the concert if you
did not already know about
it because the last all 160
tickets were sold on March
20th.
Band Director Jarod
Shumaker said, “I was very
pleased with the bands performance on Thursday. I
guess they proved that they
were worth 160 tickets. I’m
really looking forward to the
concert, and I hope everyone enjoys it.”
Mr. Shumaker has been
a teacher here at VHS for
the past 5 years.
Since he has been here
he has established a Concert
choir, Madrigal, Show

On March 29, 2005, Mr.
Hight’s Biology II class participated
in the 2005 Insect Expo held at
SCC.

responsible for maintaining a station
in which young students from area
schools attended.

valuable community service hours for
themselves.
The insect stations manned by
VHS students were: “To Build a
Bug”, “Stamp Out Bugs”, “Butter-
fly Building”, “Pool Taxonomy”,
“Spiders Web”, and the “Waggle
Dance.” The Expo was fun and
educational for all.
There were around 1,500 to
2,000 young students in attendance.

outcome and said, “I was honored
to “bee” a part of the Expo at
Shawnee Community College. My
students did an excellent job with
their stations and I was very proud.”

Five VHS athletes receive All-Conference honors
By Kaylah Butler
Five of VHS’s own students
were recently chosen to become
members of the All-Conference
basketball teams from our area.
The Eagle’s were in
competition with eight other school’s
players from Meridian, Goreville,
Shawnee, Century, Dongola, Egyptian, Joppa, and Cobden.
The five basketball players from
VHS were senior Corey
Huckelberry, juniors Garrett Davis
and Kendy Dunning, and sophomores Lacie Endrizzi and Tori
Webb.
Coach Ross Hill, athletic
director at VHS, was very proud of
all five of the athletes, “I think it is a
very prestigious honor, and they
should all be very proud of them-
selves for their
accomplishments. To have three out of the
five first team girls from Vienna
showcases all of the talent that
we are so lucky to have here at
VHS.”
“The boys also worked very
hard and had a great season. Corey
and Garrett were the perfect candidates, they are both very tal-
ented athletes,” said Coach Hill.
Tori Webb brought in the most
votes from the girl’s conference
coaches and said, “We all worked
really hard to achieve this great
accomplishment. I am very happy
that this many people were chosen from our teams. I believe that
we really did deserve it.”

Aaron Chamness advances to state
By Kristin Hunter
The WYSE team went to
sectionals, held at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois,
on Tuesday, March 15th, 2005.
Aaron Chamness placed second in the math section, and will be
going onto state.
State will be held on Wednesday, April 13th, 2005, at the University of Illinois,
UrbanaChampaign, Illinois.
Aaron was very excited about
doing so well at sectionals and said,
“This makes up for the Math Counts
competition when I wasn’t able to
attend. I’m really excited about
going to state and hope I do well.”
Mr. Giffin, coach of the WYSE
team, said, “I think it’s impressive
how well Aaron has done, beating
out all the
seniors and juniors
when he is just a sophomore.
The other WYSE coach, Mr.
Jones, was also very happy with
how well Aaron has done.
He said, “Aaron’s advancement
to the state finals is a tremendous
accomplishment. He has
separated himself as one of the most
gifted math students in the state and
no matter what happens, the community of Vienna should feel a great
deal of pride at his remarkable
achievement.”
Aaron has done a great job so
far, even though he is a
sophomore, and will do great at state.

at sectionals.

By Tori Webb
Vienna High School Beta Club

charge of the fundraiser “ Pennies
for Patients,” were Beta sponsors
Mrs. Joan Clayton and Mrs.
Brenda Krueter. The fundraiser
was held during the week of February 28.
Each day, individual classes
donated pennies and other spare
change for the fundraiser. The class
that raised the most money received
a pizza party, courtesy of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Overall, the school did extremely well. With all of the students and teachers working together, the Beta Club raised
$810.21. Beta Club sponsor Mrs.
Clayton said, “ Thanks to the generous students and teachers of
VHS, the fund raiser was a huge
success. We appreciate everyone’s
support and enthusiasm.”
Mr. David Hill’s second block
class raised the most money with a
weekly total of an amazing $329.
Beta Club officer Taylor Ames
said, “The fundraiser went very
well. We raised a lot of money and

Cochran’s class, raising $144.57.
In third place was Mrs. Krueter’s
class, with $59.85.
Beta Club sponsor Mrs.
Krueter proudly said, “The students

young people suffering with leukemia and lypmphoma. Hats off to
the Beta Club for being self-directed
and taking care of what had to be
done.”
The fundraiser was held in
honor of Joshua Wood, a VHS student and Beta Club member, who
has suffered with leukemia, but is
currently in remission.

than $800.
Meet the VHS track team
By Kaylah Butler
The VHS Track team has
already been off to a good start
with several track meets already
under their belts. Rain delays have
caused the team to miss several
of their track meets.
The track team is at its
highest number this year, with athletes from Vienna and Goreville
working together as a truly
talented team. The students get
along as if they went to the same
school, instead of from schools
that rival each other every basketball season.
The Vienna girl’s track team
has been down in numbers at most
track meets because most of the
girls are active in other
demanding extracurricular activities
around the school, such as softball and
dance. Because of this, the girl’s
track team has not been able to run
in many relays, but Shoshannah
Richerson and Kendy Dunning have
both been placing exceptionally well
in their individual events.
Even with the weather and absences, the girl’s and boy’s seasons
both look very promising both individually and as a whole team.
Coaches Bob Belcher and
Jennifer Stokes are pushing the team
really hard and are excited for the
results to show.
Everyone is encouraged to come
out to the track meets and really cheer
the team on.

Lucian also spoke of the
persecution of Christians in Romania before the communist dictator
was overthrown. While he was able
to be in town, Lucian also spoke
with several churches and offered his
testimonies.
Aften Brown, one of the students lucky enough to see his presentation, said, “I had no idea it was
so rough living under a communist
dictator. We really take our freedoms for granted.”
Lucian met some VHS students
last year at the International High
School Conference held at the
business district of Chicago.
“I am so glad that our paths
crossed at the conference,” said
Mrs. Bremer, the trip chaperone.
“Lucian was a blessing, and he reinforced how much we aren’t thankful for in our country.”
Brandy Morgan, a freshmen at
Vienna High School had this to say,
“Lucian’s speech was very insightful and made me appreciate things
even more.”
Lucian Bogden is currently attending University of Illinois at Chicago where he is studying to teach
high school math.

Intramurals end with student victory
By Kristin Hunter
The Regulators played the
teachers on March 11th for the final
game of the intramural tournament.
After an exciting game the Regulators beat the teachers 58 to 56.
It was a close game, even
though teachers and students were
both buying points for their team.
When the timer went off at the end
of the game, the teachers and students were tied. The students put in
ten more dollars and that raised their
score from 56 to 58 making them
the winners.
The referees, Garrett Davis and
Brock Ackmann, did an excellent
job and were fair to everyone.
Anthony Steinmetz, player for
the Regulators said, “Man, I was
wanting to win so badly and I am
crazed that my team pulled through.
Good job guys!”
The money raised from the game
is all donated to the Relay for Life
fund. The amount raised that day
was $145.34. The teachers had
$79.97 in their jar and the students
had $65.37 in their jar.
The Regulators, teachers, and refs: (Back row from left to right) Ms. Stokes, Mr. Harner, Mr. D. Hill, Mr. Haddick, and Mr. Jones (Front row from left
to right) Brock Ackmann, Anthony Steinmetz, Dustin Vinson, Mr. R. Hill, Cody Baity, Jacob Horn, Cody Logsdon, and Garrett Davis.

VHS hosts American Red Cross blood drive
By Brittni Throgmorton
The American Red Cross came
to VHS on March 4th to give students the opportunity to help others
by donating blood.
Students and faculty came in
throughout the day to donate blood.
The only requirements to give blood
are that you must feel well that day,
weigh 110 pounds, and have a
parent’s consent if you are 16. A
total of 60 students and faculty came
to give blood. Dustin Vinson, a senior who donated blood, stated,
“Giving blood is a great way for students to help people in need with
no cost to them. They can save a
life by giving an hour of their time
and a unit of their blood ”
A goal was set for this blood
drive to collect 45 units of blood. A

the students and faculty of VHS
came through and gave blood during a time of an extreme shortage of
blood. I was also very proud that
we exceeded our goal of 45 units of
blood.”

For the past month, Mrs.
Clayton’s Information Processing II
class has been working on full length
videos.
The Information II class began
with the plan that the plot of their
video was to be up to them and that
there was no limit on the videos running time.
In the class, the students learned
about filming digital and analog
video, uploading video footage and
using Windows Movie Maker to edit
footage, and add music.
The videos were premiered on
March 14th. The movies ranged
from a mock documentary to a horror spoof.
One of the movies spoofed
was by Anthony Steinmetz and
Dustin Vinson’s and was entitled, “Dude...There’s an
Alien”. The other videos included a Michael Moore type
documentary spoof, a graduation remembrance video,
“Faces”, and an “epic” story
about a bully who meets his
match.
At the end of the project,
the Info II students were quite
proud of their work and Angela
Funk, who worked on the
graduation remembrance video
commented, “It was pretty fun
and it kept me busy.”
David Yandell and Josh Wood work industriously on finishing their projects for
Mrs. Clayton’s Video Editing class.
Working on his ‘Idea’ video, Brock Watson rolls through the credits on
his video for class.
Josh Wood and Tara Street work together on the groups Graduation Remembrance Video.

Ms.
Taylor’s Seniors write children’s books for class
By Kara Street
In Ms. Taylor’s class, students
have been reading stories from the
Jacobean Era, including a selection
from the Bible and a fragment of the
story Paradise Lost which was written by John Milton.
On Wednesday March 9th, Ms.
Taylor assigned the class a project
to be completed by the end of the
class period. The project was to
make a children’s book and the only
requirement was that they must stick
to the facts from the stories.
Ideas for the project ranged from
the disobedience of man and the fall
of the angels.
Two of the more “unconventional” stories based on the fall of
the angels and Adam and Eve’s disobedience were by Isaac Taylor
and Aaris Miller. Aaris Miller’s
book was entitled Adam and Steve
and Isaac’s was The Transformation of Lucifer.
Once the project was finished,
most of the English IV students felt
that this project was a breath of
fresh air for the class. Josh Wood
commented that, “It was a new and
exciting twist on the classic childrens
novel.”
Josh Wood, Holly Gearing, Haven Hostmeyer, and Clara Kahoun prepare for work
on their book.
Zeb Miller works on his take of the classical story of the temptation of man in his version
aptly named The Sly Serpent.

Grayson Summers, Cody Baity, Larissa Berning, Bernal Frederick Thompson III,
and Emily Sloan prepare for their projects.
Ashley Bowling and Nikki Smith look on as Jessica Moran works rampantly on her version of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.
