Lots of people have phones to communicate, but there are different brands of phones. There are iPhones, which some people prefer, and Androids, which other people really like.
According to Diamond Little Thunder, who has a Samsung J3, she kind of likes Androids better because they have "more storage than iPhones." But the downsides of some Androids is "not being able to use the apps effectively," said Mrs. Williamson, the Chadron High secretary.
iPhones are much different than Androids. Some people would much rather prefer iPhones over Androids. They are less complicated to use, and they are "fast," stated Norah Winckler, a Chadron High freshman. But one major downfall of iPhones is that "they are terribly expensive," said Chadron High nurse Jenni Pyle.
There are so many phones ranging from iPhones to Androids that help us in our daily lives. But, those phones can also be very expensive. According to Mrs. Williamson, "Androids are less expensive than iPhones."
Some people don't know the prices of today's smartphones. Jenni Pily, a Chadron High nurse, stated that she has no guess as to what the prices of Androids and iPhones are.

Cardinlas win Valentine volleyball tournament
The Chadron volleyball team traveled to Valentine for a tournament on Saturday, October 19th. They played Cozad, Ainsworth, Valentine and Gordon-Rushville winning all four matches. Bringing their record to 24-5.
The team beat all four teams in two or three sets. They beat Cozad in two, 25-11, 25-18, Ainsworth with two, 25-13, 25-15, GRHS with two, 25-15, 25-11. But the Valentine game took the the girls three sets to take the win, 25-19, 18-25, and 25-13.
The Cardinals had new competition except for Gordon-Rushville who they have faced before and defeated them. According to Coach Blakelee Hoffman GRHS is struggling more in October than they did in September to get a win.
Coach Hoffman said the team had a great day and some players may have stood out more than others, but overall they all contributed and played consistent.
With Cozad being a 1-24 team the girls did not play down to their level, said Hoffman. Most of those matches are very slow paced but the girls stayed consistent with their serve/pass game. The Valentine game was a lot tougher for the girls, but they ended up taking the win. The second set was won by Valentine when they got an early lead on the Cardinals.
Coach Hoffman said, "I was happy with how some of the younger girls played." The young girls had an opportunity to play a higher game than they're used to (their playing time was against Ainsworth and Cozad). The only weakness they had was when Valentine took that second set from them but that didn't take their momentum away, said Hoffman.
Coach Hoffman said, "This is a major lull in our schedule, especially with Hot Springs the following Monday. If anything, its good for our girls to rest their bodies and really prepare for Alliance and Sub-Districts."

Favorite subjects for Chadron High
There are several different subjects and classes in school. There's art, math, science, English, and P.E. Chadron High, has a huge variety of classes, and people are wondering which class is the best one.
Many of the students say that art is their favorite, because you can be creative, and you have a lot of freedom in that class. For some students there are a lot of rules in class. However, because of the amount of freedom you get in that class, there's more of a variety of things to do in that class.
The amount of freedom you get in art isn't the only reason people generally like it. They also like it because of the teacher, Mr. Hencey. Daimond Little Thunder said that he's "nice, patient, and smart." Elizabeth Harrison said he's fun.
Art isn't the only loved class, there's also, math. Some like it because it comes easily to them, and others because it's challenging.
Another of the liked classes is companion animals. If you like animals then this is the class for you. Some like it because they have more than 15 animals, and they would like to know more about them. Brianna Larsen said it's her favorite because, "I like animals." The things you do in this class, are learning about different cat and dog breeds, learning about horses, and other animals. Basically any animal that humans consider pets are taught about.
Another of the liked classes is P.E. P.E stands for physical education, and people generally like it because you're not just sitting there and learning; you get to move around and play games, like dodge ball. Leah Weber likes it because, "I can release my energy." She also likes it because she gets to lift, run, and do what she wants.
However, there are lots of reasons as to why people are taking and not taking those classes. Some take the classes because they just want to get the credit for the class, while having fun, and others can't take it because it won't fit in their busy schedule.
Trig rocket lab to take off
Mr. Bradley's Trig classes have been working on their rocket lab for about a week now at Chadron High School.
This lab consists of building a rocket, then launching it. Mr. Bradley said he does this lab "to give students practical experience in Trig."
The goal of this lab is to "Calculate the height of the rocket and the angle of descent of the rockets which can be used to tell how fast the wind is blowing up in the sky," said Bradley.
The rockets are constructed by the students with the help of a kit with all the pieces in it and instructions. Mr. Bradley said that if the rockets aren't built right, then they won't launch correctly.
The rocket lab is worth 300 points according to Maddi Pelton and Kelton Burbach. Mr. Bradley said, "There are three different sections I grade on; construction, launching and recording data, and the lab write-up."
According to Maddi, "The construction is worth 50 points, the launch is for 100 points, and the lab write up is worth 150 points."
Maddi and Kelton both said that the rockets should be launched next week sometime. Mr. Bradley said that the weather really determines when the rockets can be launched. "If the wind is blowing 50-60% are lost, and on a clear day with no wind, we might lose 1-2 rockets" said Mr. Bradley.
Mr. Bradley has not had many failures with this lab. "I have only had 2 rockets over my 35 years of doing this lab that have not launched. If you follow the instructions right, you will pass and your rocket will launch."

The FFA Haunted House at Chadron High School
The Future Farmers of America (FFA) club will put on a haunted house at the Chadron High School on October 26 from 7 to 10 p.m.
The price to get in is $5 per person per time that they go through. The money made for the haunted house is going towards funding FFA members who go to state in Lincoln in the spring.
FFA member, Cloey Murdock, says that she is not allowed to say the theme. She does say that attendee's can expect the haunted house to be "better than last year's."
The recommended age that the haunted house is appropriate for on the flyer is 8 and up, but Murdock says, "If your kid isn't allowed to watch horror movies, I don't know if they should go to the haunted house." If little kids do come, the worker that leads the groups tells the scarers to be less scary before the little kids go in.

The format of the haunted house is going to be different from last year's, as the members are not allowed to have it in the commons because people are going to be setting up for the A.C.T. This year, the haunted house will start at the west entrance of the auditorium, circle around the school, and end at the east entrance of the auditorium.

Chadron High knows anime
More than 1 million people on earth watch anime. Anime is one of the most popular genres of animation out there. Most people would think that because of where Chadron is, that they won't know what anime is. However, there's more people that know about it than one would think.
Several people at Chadron High know about anime, but maybe not exactly what it is. A bunch of students said its, just Tv shows, or manga (a backwards comic book) but turned into a cartoon, or just a cartoon. Anime, is similar to what they said, but it’s actually a Japanese animation show.
What people generally like about it is the fact that it's, entertaining, there’s a lot of options of shows, the main character of an anime really stand out, and the fact that it’s got some great humor.
Things people generally don’t like about it is that fact that some “characters attitudes aren’t realistic” as Eva Hare pointed out. Other reasons people don’t like it is that the English actors don’t sound very good, or they don’t fit the characters they were assigned.
Some of the anime shows that people picked as their favorite were, Ouran High School Host Club, Pokemon, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Sword Art Online. Elizabeth Faye Harrison said that Ouran High School Host Club was her favorite because “it’s funny but sad,” and only the people who have watched it would understand.
However, there are some people out there that got into anime for a different reason. Some people got into it because they have a sibling who watches it with them. Elizabeth watches it with her siblings.
Anime can be entertaining, but some people don’t like it. There are lots of different anime out there, so give them a try.

The Interact Club helps History in Action Day
The Chadron High School Interact Club, a volunteer group dedicated "to making Chadron a better place" helped out at History in Action Day on September 29, 2019 at the Dawes County Museum.
History in Action Day is an event that's held by the Dawes County Museum that shows how life was lived in the 1800's. Students' jobs included quartering apples, churning butter, working at a concession stand, which served free drinks, cookies, and homemade ice cream, and making apple cider. The Dawes County Museum has old toys, dolls, hair salon machines, a schoolhouse, and a 1800's style country house.
Grace Sorenson, a senior and president of the Interact Club said, "We try to help the community in any way possible to make Chadron a better place. The Dawes County Museum has been a great asset to Chadron for many years." Sorenson says the Interact Club was, "just helping a part of Chadron."
The Interact Club has been volunteering at this event for four years and they plan on volunteering for many years to come, said Roger Wess, a member of the Rotary Club, which sponsors Interact Clubs for high schools.
"The goals for Interact are to develop leadership skills and active participation in community and international organization," Wess said. "Rotary Clubs sponsor Interact Clubs for high school students to prepare them to be community leaders as adults in their churches, civic clubs, community development projects, as well as state, federal, and international activities." He said that Rotary Clubs want to prepare to solve problems, not complain, and History in Action Day is "a good opportunity to work with adults, many quite elderly, to provide a hands-on experience with life as it was lived many years ago." Wess said that students, "often has to make decisions about helping children and others get the most benefit from their afternoon at Dawes County. Interact Students provided a service to our community."

"Rotary Clubs sponsor Interact Clubs for high school students to prepare them to be community leaders as adults in their churches, civic clubs, community development projects, as well as state, federal, and international activities." He said that Rotary Clubs want to prepare to solve problems, not complain, and History in Action Day is "a good opportunity to work with adults, many quite elderly, to provide a hands-on experience with life as it was lived many years ago." Wess said that students, "often has to make decisions about helping children and others get the most benefit from their afternoon at Dawes County. Interact Students provided a service to our community."

Mr. Bach said that the Alliance meet was the coldest meet that they had attended of the season, and the wind chill made it feel a lot colder.
Smith said that the weather affected her performance by freezing her hands which made it harder to swing. Mr. Bach said, "I think playing in cold weather is always difficult. The thing about it is all the girls have to fight through the same weather."
Mr. Bach was very happy with the team's performance and said they have improved every meet.

Upward Bound fall college trip
On September 19-21, Heather Barry and Maggie Smith-Bruehlman took 6 Upward Bound students to visit the University of Denver, Johnson and Wales University, and Metro State University, all Denver colleges.
Heather Barry, Chadron and Alliance Upward Bound Academic Advisor, said, "The Upward Bound (UB) Program assists high school students in developing the academic skills and motivation needed to successfully complete high school and enter a college upon graduation. Students receive educational, cultural and social experiences that will help prepare them to enter and succeed in college."
The first school the students were taken to was Johnson and Wales University which was founded in 1914 and has four campuses in the United States: Providence, Rhode Island; North Miami, Florida; Denver, Colorado, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, students were told that they allow their students to bring a pet with them from home, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish.
The second school students toured was The University of Denver. This university is located near the Rocky Mountains and has over 300 academic programs and has 12,000 graduate and undergraduate students. This was Riley Ambrose's favorite college, and he is considering going to Johnson and Wales University or the University of Denver. At the University of Denver, students witnessed a mariachi band playing for the national Hispanic heritage month.
Metro State University has students that come from every background and experience. Their average student is 25 years old, half their students are transfer students and another half are first-generation college students. At this campus, students were shown an old shopping mall that was transformed into their student center. They also have overtaken a brewery that is still in operation.
Students were also taken to see the Broadway musical Miss Saigon. This musical is about a male American GI, named Chris, and a Vietnamese orphan, named Kim who fall in love. Riley Ambrose said, "The musical was long and interesting. It had a good storyline and an amazing ending."

FBLA Fall Leadership Conference
Chadron High FBLA students and sponsors attended the Fall Leadership Conference on September 24 in Hastings, NE. This annual event is comprised of FBLA officers from across the state and is a day for students to build leaderships skills.
Mrs. Renae Noble, Chadron FBLA sponsor, took three students to Hastings with her. They were Jameson Margetts, Alex Elliott, and Kelton Burbach. This was the boys' first Fall Leadership Conference, but Mrs. Noble has been attending the annual conference for roughly 20 years.
This year's conference was unique because of its location. According to Mrs. Noble, the Fall Leadership Conference is typically held in Kearney, but due to flooding, it had to be relocated to Hastings. "This year's convention didn't run as smoothly as it did in past years," Mrs. Noble said. "But that was no fault of FBLA."
Both students and advisers attended sessions throughout the day. At the adviser session, Mrs. Noble learned about upcoming changes for Nebraska FBLA. The State Leadership Conference in the spring will be held in Kearney, not Omaha like it used to be. With the knowledge she gained from Fall Leadership Conference, Mrs. Noble plans to use Monday night work nights to prepare students for state.
Jameson Margetts described two of the sessions he attended. The first was a reporter workshop which helped him "strengthen his role as a local chapter officer." He also attended an executive committees workshop that taught him how to get involved with FBLA on a state level.
The most valuable thing Jameson learned was fun, inventive ways to recruit new members to FBLA. He hopes to bring back what he learned at Fall Leadership Conference to improve Chadron's chapter.
Jameson said he chose to attend Fall Leadership Conference because he "wanted to learn more about this great organization [FBLA] and discover new ways to help our chapter improve."
He recommends future FBLA officers attend Fall Leadership Conference because it introduces officers to the state level of FBLA and gives them new ideas to involve their chapter and themselves in FBLA.

Chadron High volleyball defeats Scottsbluff Bearcats
The Chadron High School volleyball team defeated the Scottsbluff Bearcats Thursday, September 26, 2019 in Scottsbluff.
The Cardinals took the Bearcats to 4 sets with the scores of 25-14, 22-25, 25-19, and 25-20. This was the third time Chadron has played Scottsbluff. The first match up was at the Fall Jamboree that did not count against the teams record. Senior, Allie Ferguson, led the Cardinals in kills with 14. Senior, Shea Bailey, led in digs with 19. And senior, Tyleigh Strotheide, led in assists with 34.
Head coach, Blakelee Hoffman, said she wanted to enter this game with the same consistency the team has been playing up to this point in the season. Chadron knew Scottsbluff would be scrappy on defense, but would be able to put up a solid block. In practice the Cardinals specifically worked on staying aggressive with attacks to either tool the block or hit around it said Hoffman.
The Cardinals had some strengths and weaknesses during this game. Hoffman said her team passed the ball very well, but had too many service errors. Chadron had more service errors in this match alone compared to all the other matches they have played.
After the match, Hoffman said, "I was initially frustrated with how we played and knowing it should have been over in three sets. But, giving it a lot more thought, after playing at such a fast pace at the Gothenburg tournament last weekend, then facing Scottsbluff, whose offense is so much slower, I really think we were thrown off with the pace of the game."
Thursday, October 3, the Chadron Cardinals will be facing the 17-2 Gordon-Rushville Mustangs. The Cardinals will need to play tough defense from the start and spread out their offense says Hoffman. Friday and Saturday the Cardinals head to Scottsbluff for the annual Twin Cities Invite. At this tournament they will see teams from Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota giving them good competition. Hoffman says, "I hope we will go into that tournament with the same confidence and high level of play that we brought to Gothenburg."

The Most Popular Nintendo Game Comes to Phones
On September 25th, 2019, Nintendo released the most famous game ever played since the 1990s. You guessed it, the most famous game Nintendo has created is Mario Kart. Back in 1991, Nintendo released Super Mario Kart for the SNES. Most people have played that version for a long time, but since technology has gotten more convenient, Nintendo is creating more games for mobile phones. The gameplay for Mario Kart Tour is challenging. There are two ways to play. One way is by tilting your phone left and right to steer. Or, if you like games where you can use your finger, you could also slide your finger left and right to steer. The drifting controls are easy. You just simply tap your finger and slide it towards the right and you will create a mini-turbo. Sometimes, you can get an ultra mini-turbo that will make you extra fast.
Students in Chadron High are starting to take a liking to the game. Allie Ferguson and Emajen Goings thought that the game was cool and fun. Allie said, "I was excited because I haven't played the game since I was little, on my DS."
Emajen stated that it wasn't what she hoped for. Anika Burke said that she didn't like the gameplay and that she thought that it was complicated.
All three students agreed that it might be popular.
