The Inner City
Educational League (ICE
League) is an athletic
organization for young
athletes in seventh and
eighth grade, and it is now
be introduced at the high
school level. The required
GPA for the students is a 2.5
throughout the course of the
league. There are eight teams
in the league and the players
must participate in the draft
scheduled for February 7.
The goal for the participants
Mr. Tom Lyon, ICE League Commissioner
is to keep their grades
important, for school to come first so they can continue to play in the league. Another
goal is to be on time to every practice and to show good sportsmanship throughout the
season. The ICE League is a positive way to keep students involved in a healthy lifestyle
and to keep their education in check, along with good behavior. Not only does the ICE
League help young athletes in furthering their athletic careers in high school, but also
teaches them discipline and good behavior that they will carry with them throughout their
high school years and into adulthood. The ICE League is a great organization for young
athletes to learn and stay motivated to strive for their best in school, and to also strive to
be the best athletes they can be. The ICE League is also a way to spread positivity to the
players on and off the fields.
The Graduation Stretch
Story by: Mrs. Melissa DeWitt, Guest Writer
life after high school. Find your passion
and figure out how to make that happen. It
is that simple.
Well, most of us have survived
the first 3 months of school. Seniors
are thinking, “Just a semester left until
freedom.” Juniors are thinking, “Just a
semester left until I am a senior!” But
the freshmen and sophomores are often
thinking, “I have plenty of time before I
need to think about graduating and what’s
next.” But it is important for everyone to
remember that EVERY DAY COUNTS!
All too often, when students find
themselves in my office, we are having a
hard conversation about choices that they
have made. Those conversations frequently
turn to, “What is next for you after high
school? What do you need to accomplish to
get there? Are you on track?” It is common
for a student to respond, “I don’t know yet.
I will figure it out later.” Whether you are
looking at college, vocational ed., or diving
right into the workforce, knowing where you
are headed is the only way to know the path
needed to get there!
Freshmen: Oh freshmen! The clock has
started. You are probably thinking that you
have plenty of time. YOU DON’T! I am
the proud mother of a senior, myself. As a
mom, I kept saying to him as a freshman,
push hard. These grades matter. And
as a senior applying to college and for
scholarships, he continues to say, if only
I could do my freshman year over! If you
are college bound, know that every B, C,
or heaven forbid, D or F is impacting your
chances of getting into college. I am not
saying that B’s and C’s will keep you out
of college, but I am saying that they will
add up! Do not settle for passing, strive for
excellence.
Now is also the time to start
building your resume. Get involved in
clubs, take part in sports, volunteer. You
need to begin to set yourself apart. Colleges
and scholarship committees are looking for
students that went the extra mile and were
involved. Be that kid, and start now!
Maybe college isn’t your plan, YOU
STILL NEED TO GRADUATE! Pass your
classes. Look at job shadowing in careers
that interest you. Maybe you are more
interested in a military career. Have you
explored JROTC? Explore your options for
Sophomores: Well, you still think you have
all the time in the world. WRONG! Like a
game of chess, you should be positioning
yourself for success. Is your GPA up? Did
you push yourself on the PSAT? Did you
know that the PSAT is the first look that
colleges have at who you are? How is that
resume going? Are you still getting involved
in activities? No, then start! This would be
a great time to start researching colleges.
Everything I mentioned for freshmen, yep,
that still applies!
Still not thinking about college,
YOU STILL NEED TO GRADUATE! Pass
your classes. It is still that simple. If you
are struggling to make that happen, ask for
help. There are opportunities after school
to get help. We are all here for you to make
that happen.
Juniors: This is a pivotal year. Remember
that chess analogy? Well you are coming
in for the strike. You will apply to college
in one year. No more, “I will bring up my
GPA next year.” This year will be the final
set of grades that colleges see for most of
you. Have you taken the SAT and ACT? If
not, do it NOW! Talk to your counselor if
you need help paying for the test. There are
some options out there for many students.
Take it early and often. You should start
visiting colleges and fall in love. I would
encourage you to continue building that
resume.
Are you still not planning to go to
college? That is ok, too. But you still need
a plan. Talk to your counselor about your
path for graduation. Are you on track?
There are many vocational ed. programs
that you might be interested in. The MACC
is a hidden jewel in Delaware County that
can help prepare many students for life
after high school.
Seniors: All paths lead to senior year. You
should be able to look back with pride
at what you have accomplished here at
Muncie Central. Are you ready for what lies
ahead? We hope you are. Don’t take your
foot off the gas and coast. Remember, this
is just the stepping stone for the rest of your
life. You will either launch into college, or
maybe you won’t. Scholarships and college
applications will fill your nights. Be excited
about that because now is the time to look
back at how amazing your four years have
been. Be proud of that. Even if it has been
bumpy, celebrate that you are nearing the
end and ready for a new beginning.

Broadway Musical Makes History
Through History
Story by: Maggie Connolly, Editor in Chief
The world of Broadway musicals has become increasingly
more popular over the last few years. With hits such as Wicked,
Newsies, Matilda and Aladdin sweeping the ticket booths, it seems
as though many of the more popular shows are those that have
been adapted from a fairytale, or even a popular children’s movie.
However, a new musical has hit the theatre district of New York
City. Hamilton: The Musical, has become one of the most beloved
musicals to date. The story follows founding father, Alexander
Hamilton, on his journey through both pre and post-Revolution
America. The twist? The musical’s score is hip hop.
Both the book and lyrics are written by Broadway star and
Wesleyan University graduate, Lin Manuel-Miranda. ManuelMiranda also debuts in the musical as none other than the fiery
Hamilton himself. Manuel-Miranda is well known for his Tonyaward winning musical, In the Heights, a musical with yet another
groundbreaking, hip-hop, soundtrack that follows the Latino
population living underneath the George Washington Bridge in
New York City. The inspiration for such a story came from ManuelMiranda’s time living in the Latino house at Wesleyan.
Some may be wondering where the inspiration for such
a unique and interesting idea stemmed from. Manuel-Miranda
realized, while reading a biography on Hamilton, that the man
embodied what he believes to be modern-day hip hop. He came
from ultimately nothing, trying to make a name for himself in 18th
century New York City, while making friends, foes and even a few
lovers along the way.
The concept itself seems a little crazy, it does not take much
to see that, but Manuel-Miranda made it work. In fact, he made
it work in front of the President Obama and the rest of the White
House during the Poetry Jam in May of 2009. Manuel was invited,
and for his performance, he chose to debut the opening number of
the musical. The idea baffled many of the audience members, but
once the lyrics and ingenious rhythms began to flow through the
hall, those in attendance had their eyes glued to the stage.
The musical went into previews in January of 2015, and
opened at the Richard Roger’s theatre in New York City on August
6th, 2015. Since its opening, Hamilton has received raving reviews
from countless critics and has grossed over ten million dollars in
ticket sales. The musical is one of the most difficult to get tickets
to, not to mention one of the most expensive. Sometimes, the
famous “Ham for Ham” programs outside of the theatre are the
best Hamilton fanatics can get, especially while the musical is so
popular.
The Diversity of the Holiday Season
Story by: Brayden Carson, Staff Writer
The final months of the year can be stressful. Many are thinking of ideas for gifts for many different holidays which are
celebrated at this time, whereas others are stressing over schoolwork and final exams. No matter what struggles one has, it is important
to realize the idea of diversity, especially in a time like the holiday season, where many cultural differences are shown. In a large
majority of public schools, that are not fully based on a religion but rather, education, Christmas is the main holiday exhibited; if not
the only holiday exhibited. However, we need to understand that not all people have the same belief. Everyone is entitled to their own
opinion and belief, and an open mind is needed. It is important to know that many practices and holidays are in action during this
season, for the United States is a multi-cultural country. During this time, some are fasting for Ramadan, while others are preparing for
Hanukkah. Others are putting up Christmas trees, and a wide variety of other religions are preparing for their own holiday or practice,
while some don’t practice any specific belief or religion at all. The people who don’t practice at all may have to find their own activities
to do in this time, however, that may be hard due to the public overwhelm for holidays. Maybe some people who do practice a certain
religion want to get away, and have a treat of their own that does not involve anything relating to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or any
other practice. What can they do?
Many say to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with family and relax. With final exams, hazardous roads and cold weather, it is
important to cherish the times. Do something that brings nostalgia, like have a snowball fight, or build a fort. Read a book, or catch up
on a TV series. Cook with friends and make delicious foods, then have movie marathons, or simply catch up on sleep during this cold yet
potentially cozy season if nested up in a warm blanket. With this being the cold and snowy season, many will ski, snowboard, ice skate,
or partake in any other winter sport. These are just a few of the many things one can do during this time. The possibilities are there,
even though may seem slim at times.
No matter what one believes, the season can be hectic, yet full of love and memories. Whether one practices heavily, or not at all,
it is important to show and spread peace and positivity; not only during the winter season, but during any season.
Band of the Month: Korn
Holiday Priorities
Story by: Ryen Cooper, Staff Writer
Korn, often stylized as Koßn, is a nu-metal band from
Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993. They released their first
album Koßn, in 1994 through Immortal and Epic Records, which
introduced fans to songs such as “Blind,” “Clown,” and “Shoots
and Ladders,” followed by Life is Peachy, which provided us with
songs like “Twist,” and “A.D.I.D.A.S.,” in 1996. The bands next two
albums Follow the Leader, released in 1998 with songs like “Freak
on a Leash,” and “Got the Life,” and Issues, released in 1999 with
songs “Falling Away From Me,” “Trash,” and “Make Me Bad”, both
debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 charts. In 2002,
Koßn released their first album in three years, Untouchables, to
moderate success. This album featured hits “Here to Stay,” “Alone
I Break,” and “Thoughtless.” The next year, they released Take
a Look in the Mirror, which introduced a change to their sound
that was not well received by anyone, including the band itself,
though it did provide the hits “Did My Time,” “Right Now,” and
“Y’all Want a Single.” In a 2013 interview, guitarist Brian “Head”
Welch cited Take a Look in the Mirror as “the worst record we
did.” In 2004, the bands label released a Greatest Hits collection,
but they would soon however sign to EMI and Virgin Records
and release their next album See You on the Other Side with fan
favorites “Coming Undone,” and “Twisted Transistor” in 2005.
That album would go on to be Koßn’s highest selling album in
years. In 2007, they released an album that did not have a title,
which has now infamously known as the Untitled Koßn Album
or Koßn II. This album is described as being a part of the bands
“middle-aged slump” and that it is rather “tired, bland and
outdated.” They soon signed to Roadrunner records and released
Korn III: Remember Who You Are with songs like “Let the Guilt Go,”
“Are You Ready to Live,” and “Oildale (Leave Me Alone)” in 2010.
In 2011, the band went in a totally different direction with The
Path of Totality, which took away the metal sound and replaced it
with dubstep. This album had fairly positive reviews, being called
“refreshing and new” by Rolling Stone and contained features
by Kill the Noise, Skrillex, among others and featured songs like
“Chaos Lives in Everything,” “Get Up” and “Narcissistic Cannibal.”
The band would once again change labels, this time to Prospect
Park and released The Paradigm Shift in 2013. This would go on
to be their best rated record in years, and highest charting since
See You on the Other Side in 2005. This album featured songs
such as “Never Never,” “Spike in My Veins” and “Hater.” Koßn is
currently working on their next album.
Story by: Emily Davis, Staff Writer
As busy teenagers and full-time high school students, we often
forget the importance of spending time with our friends and family. As the
end of the year approaches, for some of us it is holiday after holiday and we
see our family more often. Spending time with family during the holidays
is essential, especially family members who you rarely get to see, or family
that has traveled a long way to visit with you. Maybe it is just as simple as
talking to them at dinner, or during your free time, asking them how things
are. The importance of spending time with them is that you keep a healthy
relationship with your family. It could also be a way to take your mind off
of the stresses of school. Also, spending time with a friend you have grown
distant to in the past can also be a great way to reconnect during the season.
Possibly a long-time friend that you have not had time to reconnect with in
a while. More times than others, they will appreciate the fact that you are
willing to take time out of your busy schedule to spend time with them. It is
easy to fall into the trap of being extremely busy and having limited family
time during the end of the year. Just by taking a little time out of your day
to reach out to someone special in your life can make a difference.

Holiday Recipes

Mrs. Gill: Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls
You will need:
Dough
1 cup cottage cheese
¾ cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup oil
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons baking powder
4 ¼ cups flour plus extra for dusting
Filling
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cinnamon
½ cup butter
½ cup honey
1) To prepare the dough: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and puree until
smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, oil and milk and puree until smooth. Pour the
mixture into a large bowl and stir in the baking powder. Add 3 ½ cups of
the flour and stir until the mixture forms a dough. Using your hands, add
the remaining ¾ cup of flour a little at a time by sprinkling a little flour
over the dough and folding the dough over to mix it. Repeat this process
until the dough is smooth and not sticky. (You may not need all the flour.)
2) Spread a thin layer of flour on a flat surface and roll the dough into a
large rectangle, about 20 by 25 inches.
To prepare the filling: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small
bowl. Melt the butter and brush over the entire surface of the dough.
Drizzle the honey over the butter, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly
over the dough. Starting on the longer side, carefully roll up the dough as
tightly as possibly.
3) Lightly butter or spray the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch baking
pan.
4) Using a serrated knife, cut the roll into 1 ½ inch-thick slices with a
sawing motion. If you press down while cutting the dough it will smash
together and lose the “roll” effect. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan
and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until done. (To check for doneness, pull
up slightly on the center of one of the rolls in the middle of the pan. The
dough should pull apart. If it stretches, it needs to cook more.)
5) Remove the pan from the oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen
the cinnamon rolls, and invert the pan onto a serving platter.
Ms. Stader: Green Bean Casserole
You will need:
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ cup onion, diced
1 cup sour cream
3 cans French style green beans, drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup crumbled buttery round crackers
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Stir in flour until smooth, and cook for one minute. Stir in the
salt, sugar, onion, and sour cream. Add green beans, and stir to
coat.
3. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Spread
shredded cheese over the top. In a small bowl, toss together
cracker crumbs and remaining butter, and sprinkle over the
cheese.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is
golden and cheese is bubbly.
Mr. Saval: Fruit Cake
You will need:
4 egg whites
6 tablespoons water
2 cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup sliced strawberries
¾ cup sliced peaches
½ cup blueberries
2 cups whipped cream
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour
one 10 inch round cake pan.
2. Combine the egg whites and water in a large glass or metal
bowl. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks in a large bowl.
Continue to whip, while gradually adding sugar until egg whites
can stand in stiff peaks. Continue to whip on medium speed
while adding one egg yolk at a time. Combine the flour and
baking powder; fold gently into the batter. Pour the batter into
the prepared cake pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the
pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool
completely.
4. Stir the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl to dissolve
and set aside. In a medium saucepan,
beat together the
sweetened condensed milk and the egg yolks. Bring the mixture
to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the
cornstarch mixture. When the filling thickens, remove from
heat and set aside to cool.
5. Mix together the strawberries, peaches, and blueberries in a
medium bowl. Using a thread or a bread knife, slice the cooled
cake in half horizontally. Spread the mixed fruit across the
bottom half of the cake, pour any fruit juice over the berries to
moisten the cake. Spread the cream filling over the top of the
fruit. Top with the other half of the cake. Frost the cake with
whipped cream or your favorite white frosting.

Holiday Gift Guide
Story by: Mallory Loveall, Staff Writer
With the holidays coming soon, several people will begin to buy
gifts for their friends and family. Buying gifts can sometimes be a difficult task if you are not sure what they want, but with a simple guide to
assist you, it can be
significantly easier for
yourself. This guide
will hopefully help
those with a budget,
but want to get their
friends and family
something thoughtful
for the upcoming holidays.
Elementary
school: Most kids in
this age group have
developed a vivid
imagination at this
point. I suggest buying these kids something that is incomplete. For example, a
make your own story
kit would be perfect.
You can make one of
these at home, but
they are also available at any store. Another fun idea would be buying them art supplies
or maybe even a shirt they can create to help build their imagination.
Middle school: Children in this age group are usually interested in electronics. At this age, the kids usually begin to socialize more
often. Getting them a phone or an electronic would be a great gift for
middle schoolers. If they already have those items, I would suggest buying them a gift card for their favorite store.
High school: If you are buying for someone that is simplistic,
money would be a good idea for them. Most kids in high school enjoy
hanging out with their friends and like buying their own things. If the
person you are buying for enjoys gifts, candles or anything fragrant
would be an excellent option if you are on a budget. Jewelry would be a
great option as well.
College: Most young adults who attend college, go to college
outside of their hometown. If this is true with a sibling or your own
child, consider purchasing things that remind them of their home.
Student care packages have been popular throughout the years because
they are considered to be a thoughtful gift. If your sibling or child can
not come home for the holidays, this idea would be an excellent option.
Several colleges have forms you can fill out to have a package delivered,
but most people prefer to make
their own.
Adults: There are several different types of adults.
There are the adults that are
very simplistic. An adult like
this would truly enjoy receiving a homemade gift. If you
have not seen visited pinterest,
the website is full of ideas for
handmade gifts. Making something on your own will make
the person feel appreciated, and everyone likes being thought of. The
adults that are more tech savvy would enjoy a movie. The movie could
be either a movie they really like or a movie they haven’t seen. Gifting
movies have been a staple gift item in the past couple of years.
Hopefully, this gift guide gave you a slight idea on what you
want to buy for your family and friends and I hope everyone enjoys the
holidays this season.

Ugly Christmas
Sweaters On the
Rise
Story by: Hayley Baldridge, Staff Writer
Christmas season is here! Everyone knows what that means...
Now it is socially acceptable to wear ugly holiday clothing. Ugly Christmas sweaters are back in business! Whether you find them at your
local Goodwill or department store, they are always fun to wear. Ugly
Christmas sweaters are considered tacky and tasteless. Some people say
that ugly Christmas sweaters gained popularity from Bill Cosby when
he played Cliff Huxtable in The Cosby Show. He was seen wearing ugly
sweaters, not dissimilar to the ones we see and wear. Ugly Christmas
sweaters were very popular in the 80’s. When the 90’s rolled around,
the flare for them died down. When it became the early 2000’s, they
sparked back up into popularity and are still very popular today. You
can get these sweaters from what some people call “vintage shops”or
even Goodwill. They have even made it into more popular retail shops
also, such as H&M, Forever 21, etc.
A lot of people wear these sweaters because of nostalgia. It
reminds us as a society of what Christmas really is about and reminds
us of when we were younger. The United States also has a big fashion
industry. Everyone is always looking for new fashion and these ugly
Christmas sweaters have made the cut. A lot of people love them even
though they are hideous. The first ever ugly Christmas sweater party
was said to have been held in Vancouver, Canada in 2002. Now, people
have the ugly Christmas sweater parties all the time. If you are interested in purchasing one of the infamous sweaters, make sure you do
it sooner rather than later, that way you can snatch the good ones up!
Most people will agree that you will love it once you buy it!
