New Student Council Leader Texting in Class
by Riley Walz
Christian Hoyer
I wanted the cold hard facts about
By Devin Swager
Are you worried about
your school and what’s
going to happen to it?
Would you like to see
games during warrior
time? Well that is exactly
what our Student Council President wants to do
for us. Christian Hoyer
is our Student Council
President.
In an interview with
Christian he said “I haven’t been president long enough
to assume full presidential duties, but in time I will work
alongside the student council to arrange fun activities for
AHS.” One of the “fun activities” is to have games set up
during warrior time. So far this is the only information he
has given out.
texting in class so I went out and asked people if they texted in class. I interviewed Brice
Kasdorf, he works at subway he is sandwich
maker and he is Native American. His background is that he is Native American and he
likes to make money.
I asked him if phones should be allowed in school and he said “yes.” He told
me that he has used his phone in class many
of times and I have witnessed it. Brice thinks
that you should not have your phone taken
away for using it that is his own opinion.
He thinks you should be able to use
to because he likes to “hit people up”. Another reason he thinks they should be used
in school is because you can call someone in
case of an emergency. He said his opinion
would probably never change.
Brice is a big fan of tweeting and
snapchatting in class just like all kids are.
He likes to text in all classes. He doesn’t like
to text in Mr. Scheiffer’s class, but he never
gave a reason why. Brice is a proud owner
of a very nice Galaxy S 4.
To get a more accurate read on this
I went around the school asking if they texted in class or not and the results aren’t
too shocking. I asked 59 students the same
question of do you text in class, it was very
heavily one sided. A whopping 52 said that
they did text in class and only a smidge 7
said that they didn’t. If I were to ask the entire school and the numbers stayed around
the same that would mean that around 88%
of Amery High School texts while in class.
Speak
How often do you text
in class?
Ivan Chuy: “Dude, like 24/7”
Molly Marko: “I don’t text in
class.”
Coco Chick: “Like every
class.”
Hailey Streich: “Some of
my classes”
Jeremiah Stringer:“Never”
John Marquand: Pretty
Often
Student Opinions
Packers vs. Vikings
by Patrick Roling
The Green Bay Packers and
the Minnesota Vikings are one of the
biggest rivalries in history and our
school is loaded with die-hard fans for
both teams. We are all high-spirited
fans waiting for the day when we can
unleash our inner team spirit.
The way to help us with this
problem is having a Packer vs. Vikings day. The day would take place
the school day before the Green Bay
Packers and the Minnesota Vikings
play. They play two times per year so
that would equal two dress up days.
Students that favor their team would
dress up to support them before the
big game. Students look forward for
homecoming week and snow week to
dress up and show spirit.
We only dress up for a two
week the whole year so this could
bring some excitement between the
students and the teachers. Dress up
days in our school show our desire to
have fun. We lack enough fun days in
school and a Packers vs. Vikings dress
up competition is just what we need.
Both team supporters always state,
“Our team is better and our team has
more supporters.”
Now is a chance to prove the
other team wrong. The rivalry has
held since 1961 with the Packers leading the all-time series 55-49-1, a total
of 105 meeting. Now it’s time for our
generation to keep the rivalry spirits going!
Fantasy Football and You
Brendon Schultz
I play and enjoy fantasy football, so I went out and asked people
their opinions and ideas about fantasy football. I asked Elijah Newton
a couple of questions and sort made
an interview out of it. I asked him
if he had a job and he told me he
worked on a farm and his title was
“worker”.
His background includes playing
football, wrestling, and getting good
grades. He didn’t have any past jobs
and he’s overall, a good kid.
I asked him if he played fantasy football and how his team was
doing if he did play. He said that he
did play fantasy football and that he
only lost one game. I asked if he could
have any player and he said Jimmy
Graham and he said because he’s a
monster. I asked his opinion on Peyton Manning and he responded by
saying, he’s really good and he wants
him. I asked what he would do if
his team was all injured or just went
down the drain and he said he would
just pick up new players. I asked why
he plays fantasy football and he said
that it’s fun and that he gains bragging rights. He said he prefers fantasy football over fantasy baseball and
that his favorite player on his team
is Jimmy Graham. I asked if he regretted any draft choices he had and
he said that Montee Ball was a bust
and he thought that Drew Brees was
going to have a good game week 5
against Chicago. I asked Eli if he was
mad at anybody in his league and he
said he was mad at Riley Walz for being a smart (butt).
I also, went around surveying staff and students if they played
fantasy football and the turnout was
quite odd in my opinion. Guys of
Amery High School, you may want
to stop reading this if you don’t want
to know the cold, hard facts. The results showed that about 35 of those
surveyed did not play fantasy football and that only about 10 of those
surveyed DID play. I thought this was
very shocking but there is still some
hope, some male teachers DO play
fantasy football.
Summary is: most kids in the
school don’t play fantasy football,
some male teachers DO play, and Riley Walz is a smart (butt). Don’t worry kids there’s still some hope, no,
not everybody plays fantasy football
but, Mr. Doerfler does play fantasy
and that’s all that matters.
some male teachers DO play fantasy
football.

NFL’s New Rules
by Patrick Roling
The NFL used to be fun, entertaining,
and an everyday sellout game, until
the NFL started adding rule after rule.
Players and fans have agreed that it
isn’t even the same sport anymore
due to the rapid change of rules. Running backs can’t run with their head
down, which was taught to make it
safer for them. Defenders can’t hit up
high anymore which causes them to
hit lower in the legs which can create
new injuries.
Now, the NFL is pondering
whether or not to increase the number of playoff participants to 14 teams
instead of the already 12. This would
give your team a better chance of
making the playoffs but increase the
season so teams would have an increase in chance of receiving injuries.
A poll has been taken in the Amery
High School and the students have
spoken. A heavily favored vote of five
out of every six students wants to keep
the same number of NFL participants
to 12. The main reason being is that
teams who don’t even hold a record
over .500 , in other words having a
winning record, could make the playoffs and the students feel that it just
isn’t fair to the teams that deserve it.
But the result of this discussion is all
about how we fans feel about it. So…
How do you feel about it?
Stopping Bullying
by Terra Johnson
Although the prevention of
bullying is important, teaching children/teenagers how to stand up for
themselves and deal with bullies,of
ignoring the problem, can be a better
solution.
Signe Whitson, a writer for Psychology today, said, “While school
policies focus on zero-tolerance
and criminal penalties are wielded
for some of the most egregious
bullies, others know what coaches
have been saying for years: the best
offense is a good defense. Statistics
show that 58% of children admit to
telling an adult that they are being
bullied, which would mean that a
zero-tolerance for bullying policy
would not help a child who is too
scared to tell an adult. But if that
same child was taught how to stand
up for themselves, it might make
the bully think twice about bullying
the child.
Later in Whitson’s article
she says, “Kids can change their
own world by developing a set of
skills that makes bullying unrewarding.” Unfortunately, a lot of children
are taught that ignoring the bully or
telling on them will solve the problem, and although I agree the child
should tell an adult, the adult might
not always do something, or the
bully will continue. Ignoring the
bully could be the worst thing to do
because the tormentor might say
or do worse and worse things until
they get a reaction.
Therefore, I think that
schools or parents should teach
bully prevention and continue to
enforce the zero-tolerance policy.
Teaching the child to cope could
also improve their confidence,
knowing that they have the tools to
hopefully stop the bullying.
With teaching children
to cope, and enforcing the zerotolerance policy, schools and parents, have a better chance of stopping bullying, or at least changing
more kids’ lives. When children are
equipped with the knowledge or
how to prevent bullying, and knowing they have a safe place to turn
to, their chances of stopping a bully
are greatly improved.

Hunter Marko Championship
by Patrick
Roling
“Here we are
folks! Hunter
Marko (46-2),
representing
Amery Wisconsin, takes
on Taylor Elliott (37-2),
representing Prairie Du
Chien, for the
Wisconsin
State Wrestling Championship here
at the Madison Kohl Center! Both men are
set. And here… we….go!
After an early lead, Taylor started up
by two points ahead of Hunter Marko. Both
players were plenty nervous starting off
while the fans just waited for the first person to let the nerves settle in. That person
would be Hunter Marko.
Hunter returned with a four point
sweep until he would eventually put Taylor
Elliott in trouble and pin him. A match that
took three minutes and 49 seconds held
quite a lot of excitement not only for the
fans, but for the players as well.
Marko stated that, “This was one of
the most pressured moments in my life, this
being my biggest match of my career and
representing Amery.” Despite the nerves
and all of the pressure, Hunter made Amery
proud. Not just winning the state championship but to even get to this extraordinary
event is all about hard work and putting in
your best effort.
When the question came on how
much effort and practice that Hunter put
in to his wrestling career, I couldn’t believe
what my ears heard! “I practice every day,
about six times a week,” says Hunter. “Out
of those six days, three of them include me
going into the cities and working out there.
The workouts include lifting and running
around.” Six times a week and half going to
the cities every day for hours!
Amery has much to thank for Hunter Marko putting all of his time into representing Amery. “I would like to thank my
parents, friends, coaches, and the fans for
supporting me,” stated Hunter. “You guys
are the reason that I wrestle. I’m definitely
not at my peek. There is a lot of room for
improvement.
All I can do is work harder and put more
time in.” Dedication to the game he loves is what
got him where he is. Hunter Marko is an excellent
example of the saying, “If you believe in yourself
and put your time and effort in, your dreams can
come true.”
We in Amery would like to say thank you
to Hunter and praise him for his accomplishments. And we are all behind you as you take
on the path to defend your title!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. What is breast cancer?
“Breast Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of beast
cells.” -breastcancer.org
“The term “Breast Cancer” refers to the malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the
breast.” -breastcancer.org
Who can get breast cancer? Both Men and Women can get breast cancer. Breast cancer is more
common in women because when women undergo puberty their breast ducts begin to grow.
Breast Cancer is caused by genetic abnormality
or mistake in the genetic material. Only 5-10% of
cancers are from the abnormality inherited from
your mother and/or father. But 85-90% of Breast
Cancer is due to genetic abnormalities from the
aging process.
Breast cancer can be caused by several
different factors like:
•
In Women
•
It’s in your genes (if your mother, sister,
daughter has had breast cancer you are two to
three times more likely to develop the disease.)
•
Previously had ovaries cancer
•
Race
•
Age
•
Menstruating before 12 and stopping
after 55
•
First child after 30

iPhone vs. Android?
by Jocelyn Berding
Chances are you or someone you know has an iPhone or Android (or some sort of smartphone).
Society today basically relies on technology to connect with others. Back in the day, it used to be letters, and then we evolved and kept getting more
and more advanced in our ways of communication.
Today you can by a device, push a few buttons, and
within seconds be connected to the person on the
other end of the line.
Statistics say that if you’re to buy a phone,
you most likely want a smartphone. Just think
about it. A touch screen, apps, a better camera, a
slick design, it all adds up. But just which smartphone do you want? There’s so many! Well most
people choose the iPhone or a type of Android
processed phone. They are the leading brands for
smartphones.
One big difference is the hardware. Apple is
the only company that offers the iPhone; therefore
it has complete control over how the software and
hardware work together. Google Android, however, is offered to many phone makers (example:
Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG). With that being said,
Android may vary in many ways like the size of the
phone, the weight, different features, user experience, and the quality.
Regardless of the details, many people like
to choose half based on the look of the phone. It’s
all up to your personal preference. As for Amery
High School, the results were almost equal. 46% of
kids would prefer/had and Android and 54% of kids
would prefer/had an iPhone. That’s not to mention
the kids that had absolutely no preference!

Amery FFA
by Riley Walz
Amery high school’s FFA
invited the elementary students
over so the FFA could teach them
what FFA does and help them understand it. I got a change to talk
to Eli Newton and Kellie about
some of the things they talk about
individually to the kids. They
both told me that FFA is very fun
and that they encourage anyone
to join if they are thinking about
it because anyone is more than
welcome to! Now there are many
kids in FFA but due to short notice I only got the chance to talk
to Eli and Kellie Kjeseth who both
really like FFA.
What Eli did at food for
America is he talk about cheese
and how it’s made and how farming plays a role in it like how
cheese has milk from cows. He
also talked about hay bailers,
how you put hay in and big round
hay bales come out. Eli told me
that he thinks it’s good that the
younger kids come and learn
about FFA because one it’s good
to learn about farming and everyone around here should
know a little about it and I agree
with that. The second reason
he thinks it’s good is because
the kids get out of school and
how doesn’t like getting out of
school!?
Kellie got to take pictures for FFA (that lucky dog).
She walked around to all the
stations where all the other FFA
members were explaining their
topics. She got good pictures
of FFA members teaching the
younger kids about it. I bet they
turned out very nice!
All in all everyone that
is in FFA seems to really enjoy it
and they recommended that you
go out for it! This is Riley Walz
signing out! Stay classy Amery!

students make artwork such as
paintings, drawings, or even poetry, they have the chance to be put
into the creative corner to show
everybody the talent that these
people have. Most of the artwork can be

THE DAWG HOUSE
The Dawg House, we all know that its the name
of our fan section during sporting events. But Sonny Anderson, one of the head cheerleaders of our fan section,
says its more than that. “The Dawg House gives us an
identity. As soon as you come into our school you become a Warrior, so why not give yourself a new name
at a sporting event and become a Dawg? A lot of people
ask the question, why do you call yourselves the Dawg
House, it doesn’t make sense!..It doesn’t need to make
sense, as long as your having fun.Thats what matters.
