VHS Student Dies in Tragic Car Accident
On November 13, 2002, Vienna High School lost a beloved
student and friend. Jennifer Lyn
Stachowiak passed away at 3:50
P.M. near Tunnel Hill as the result
of a car-truck collision.
Jenny was born on November
21, 1985, and resided near Tunnel
Hill. Jenny was a member of the
cheerleading squad her freshman
year and a member of the dance
team her sophomore year. Jenny
also played the clarinet in the
band.
She enjoyed shopping, repelling, hiking, bicycling, and
spending time with her family
and friends. Jenny worked as a
waitress at Dolly’s Restaurant.
As grief-stricken students
came to school following the accident, counselors were on hand to
talk with them. A remembrance
table was set up in the commons
for students to place items on,
and there were posters to sign that
were given to her family.
Mrs. Kreuter’s English III
class created a large poster with
pictures of Jenny and some pieces
of writing out of her writing journal. The poster was displayed at
the funeral home and then given
to her parents.
In the wake of her tragic death,
Junior class oficers and sponsors
felt they wanted to do something
special in Jenny’s memory. A
memorial scholarship has been
created and will be given to a
member of her class at graduation
in 2004. Anyone who would like
to contribute to the Jennifer Stachowiak Memorial fund may send
a check to Vienna High School,
noted Jenny’s Memorial.

questionnaire about.”

VHS takes Second in Fourth Annual Turkey Tournament
The Vienna Eagles won the
inal game of the Turkey Tournament in a spirited match with the
Meridian Bobcats. The 82-81 win
had the crowd out of their seats
and cheering wildly for their respective teams. The game ended
with a victory for Vienna, and the
crowd showing more enthusiasm
that has been seen in many, many
years in the Eagle gym.
With Meridian losing to Vienna, that created a 3-way tie in
the Round Robin event. Sesser’s
only loss was to Meridian, and
Vienna’s only loss was to Sesser.
According to tournament rules,
irst place goes to the team with
the best free throw percentage.
Although it was very close, Sesser
won the tournament with a free
throw percentage of 70.
Brandon Bundren was voted
the Tournament’s MVP, and was
also the top scorer in the tournament with 91 points. Other Eagle
high-scorers included Bryan Waters with 59 points for the tournament, followed closely by Tommy
Waters with 56. The only other
Vienna player to win Tourney
MVP in the four year history of
the Classic was Adam Schneider
2002-2003 Tournament MVP - Brandon Bundren. Also pictured

VHS Cheerleaders Win Bid to State Competition
The VHS Cheerleaders took
a 1st place win, and qualiied for
State competition at the ICCA
Regional Cheerleading Competition in Pinkneyville. Sixteen
squads competed in 5 different
categories, with VHS taking 1st in
the Small Varsity Division. State
competition is March 7, 8 & 9 in
Springield, IL.
This is the seventh year the
cheerleaders have competed at
the ICCA Regionals, but their irst
year to qualify for State. Coach
Tina Penrod said that this year’s
team had some big advantages.
“They had an awesome routine
choreographed by Candace Sherman and Kelly Aylesworth, tremendous experience and ability
and alot of heart. This squad is
by far the most positive I’ve ever
had.” She also attributes their
success to other factors, such as
showmanship, great stunting, and
most importantly, teamwork.
Sophomore cheerleader
Amanda Adamson is one of the
cheerleaders that will be competing in the State competition. “We
have alot of hard work to do, and
alot of potential to work with.
Hopefully, we’ll place at State.”
ICAA does not divide squads
by school size. Instead squads
are divided by squad size - small
varsity, 10 and under, medium
varsity, 11-15, and large varsity,
16 and over. At the State competition in Springield, the varsity
squad will be competing against
other small varsity squads.
The VHS JV squad came very
close to qualifying, but since they
did not qualify at Pinkneyville,
they will compete in another
Regional competition in January
or February in order to try to win
a bid for State.
A squad must score 348.5

how to get away if a man were to
come up behind you and grab you,
try to strangle you, try to lead you
away, grab you by the wrists, or
how to get away if he were to get
you to the ground. Girls were also
taught how to yell, kick, punch,
and hit properly. They were also
shown where and how to hit the
aggressor to get him to leave you
alone the quickest.
On the fourth day students
got to test out the techniques they
learned all week in simulation.
This is where the girls got to see
how successful they really could
be if they were put in the situation
where they had to defend themselves in a ight. For this part of
the training the girls tested their
skills on a trained instructor from
Blackburn college near St. Louis.
Mr. Anthony Solano, a certiied
RAD instructor, suited up and let
the girls give their best effort to
get away. “You girls did really
well, and I mean really well. I
am so proud of you,” Erin commented on how the girls did with
their simulation drills.
After the simulations were all
over, Erin and Mr. Solano sat the
girls down and explained a little
more about the RAD program.
Both the instructors were trained
and certiied in Washington D.C.
Mr. Solano talked about the
experience of wearing the suit
and how realistic it is. “It does
hurt,” Mr. Solano commented
about whether or not he could
feel the hits through the padding.
“So remember if you were to be
attacked you really would have
the advantage of surprise and the
know how to do something.”
A comment from Mr. Palmer
really covers the whole weeks
experience, “The girls worked
really hard. I think they enjoyed
it and learned a lot of important

Spanish Club
The Spanish Club has been
very busy this year working on
two letter writing campaigns in
connection with VHS’s role as a
pilot International High School.
One of the letters is addressed to
member of the legislature and encourages opening trade to Cuba.
The other is addressed to coffee
manufacturers and distributors
and is for the promotion of “Fair
Trade” products. The students
feel that these efforts are worthwhile and current, and are hopeful
for results.
Other activities being considered are the production of a
bilingual article for the school
newspaper, and in the spring,
organizing the Foreign Scholar
Bowl team for Foreign Language
Day.

Music Over the Last
10 Years
Movie Review:
The Ring
By Jacob Wells
By Jacob Wells
Without a doubt, one of the
most influential things in the
world today is music and the
artists who make it. They can
inluence our thoughts, feelings,
and even what we wear. When
someone is feeling depressed or
happy, they choose an artist and
a CD that they can relate to at
that very moment. As more and
more artists and trends become
popular with the often ickle fans,
increasing numbers of performers are being forced out of the
entertainment business, creating
a revolving door of entertainers.
Over the last ten years many
have come and gone. Some went
as quickly as they came, with the
ever present one hit wonders.
Who could forget the lone hits of
“Who Let the Dogs Out” by Baha
Men and the always remembered
“Macarena.”
On the other end of the spectrum are those who are legends
and will always be a part of society. That goes for all the different
types of music.
The Ring was a movie that
the previews didn’t really give
you an idea of what the movie
was about. The basic plot of the
movie was that whenever people
watch a certain video tape, within
a week they die. That was given
away right from the beginning.
However, there was a more to this
movie then suspected.
The Ring is about a woman
named Rachel, a respected journalist, whose niece just mysteriously died. After hearing about
this video that her niece and
several of her friends watched
while on weekend getaway at a
mountain resort, Rachel becomes
involved. Her curiosity peaks
when she inds out that the others
who watched this video also died
mysterious deaths.
Her
life becomes more complicated
when her small son tells her that
he sees things, kind of like in the
Sixth Sense, and that he knew his
In rock there is KISS, and the
great Nirvana, who still remain as
legends even in the death of lead
man Kurt Cobain. In pop, there
are Madonna and Janet Jackson.
R&B has Mary J Blige. And in
rap there are P. Diddy and JayZ.
With all of these artists one
thing remains the same. They
are always welcomed back by
fans when releasing a new CD or
embarking on a new tour.
Then there are those that
many consider to be legends in
the making as long as they work
wisely. And once again, this is
in every type of music. Rock
has Linkin Park, pop has Britney
Spears, and rap has Nelly. There
will always be those who try, but
few who succeed.
There will always be music
around influencing those who
listen. I can’t wait for the next ten

Rachel decides to find this
video--and she succeeds. After
viewing the video, she receives a
call that just has the cryptic message of “One week.” She decides
to do her own investigation into
the video. What she reveals is
the story of a twisted family and
of the little girl that they adopted
years ago, and all of the mayhem
that she caused before and after
her death.
The Ring is not what I expected. It is actually better. When
seeing the previews, it seems to
be another over-hyped movie
that teenagers are expected to go
see, and then be disappointed.
However, those expectations were
wrong. The movie actually has
a half way decent plot and story
line that makes sense. And when
you seem to be bored with certain
parts, then something will happen
and make you become interested
