Everyone needs donuts
Everyone likes donuts no matter what age they are. A little sugar in the morning never hurts anybody. There are thousands of different shapes and sizes of donuts and flavors to choose from. So how couldn't someone like donuts? There has got to be a donut that sparks their taste buds.
Donuts are really something you can use to instantly brighten your day in the morning and guide you to have a great day. Mrs. Paopao said that her favorite kind of donuts are maple long johns with cream filling.
Ms. Mack, our freshman English teacher, and many others love a donut that Daylight Donuts make, called a peanut butter cup. It seems that the peanut butter cup is very popular in Chadron, but then again, there are so many kinds of donuts that there is a variety of favorites.
Thank goodness for Daylight Donuts because a good percentage of Chadron people meet there to drink coffee and gnaw on a donut or two. Donuts truly makes the world go around.
Promposals
As the years pass by, the common ways to ask your date to prom has become more and more extreme. "Promposals" of 2015 at Chadron High School have been very unique.
The art of creating a huge promposal for your special someone has become huge. "Go big or go alone" is a common saying many people use to ensure a great promposal. Many times people would just ask using a note or in person with a simple answer of yes or no. Today it has came to the extreme of flying a banner with a plane or even painting "Prom?" on different buildings. Either way it can be very unique.
At Chadron High School, Cody Ray was one who had a unique idea. Cody brought a box of donuts to school and asked his date by writing inside of the box, "I donut know what to say, Prom?"
Matt Kerner was able to grab the attention of Alison Gardener by attending dinner with her and placing "Prom?" inside of a fortune cookie. Alison claims "I was not expecting it. It was really sweet."
Vonsinh Sayaloune stood up on the tables in the commons, in front of a large portion of the school, and used Nike apparel to reel his date in. Vonsinh created a sign that said "Just Do It, Prom?" with a Nike tank top for his special date, Danielle Johnson. "I was very surprised, and honestly kind of embarrassed.""I had no idea this was coming," Danielle stated.
Destiny Rhoden was asked by Jarrod Briggs to go to prom with a fish tank. Jarrod purchased a fish and fish tank while he wrote on it, "Out of all the fish in the sea will you go to prom with me?"
Junior Kane Wellnitz asked his date by writing "Prom" on his chest at a wrestling dual. Kane surprised his date Alex Nobiling. "I never would have guessed this was going to take place," Alex said.
As you can see the variety that kids come up with differ greatly. The extent many people go to so their date feels special is crazy. The art of this will more than likely become even more popular before it becomes less known. The term promposals has been created by high school students and it is likely many parents don't even know the meaning. Promposals are a great way to show your affection for somebody else as well as show your creativity.

Spring Play
This month, the Chadron High students will be performing the play, "The Baker Street Irregulars." The play will be performaned on April 24th and 25th at 7pm and the 26th at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door. The play, a mystery and a comedy, can be enjoyed by all ages.
The story begins on the streets of London in 1897 and moves into the Wainwright Circus. With Sherlock Homles in the hospital, only a group of orphans known as the Irregulars can solve a murder in the circus. Despite their differences, the Irregulars must work together to save Sherlock Holmes and catch the culprit.
Mrs. Lanphear, director, says, "One of the best things about the play is the characters and how strong and interesting they are. It's fun to watch the Iregulars bond throughout the play." The Iregulars include the decerning Wiggins (Walt Mays), lady-like Pheobe (Shay Chambelin), questioning Quinn (Cassie Sloan), proud salesman Finnegan (Kyle Baumann) and rough around the edges Alaska (Colette Mahr). Additional characters include giggly acrobats, silly clowns, and hard working animal trainers. There are also characters like Hawker (Chace Franey) who could sell ice cubes to Eskimos and the mystical gypsy, Zolda (Emily Blaylock).
The Chadron High students have been working hard in practices. Alyssa Noble, playing Officer Pelham says, "Practices are fun, and I'm exited to portray a British Officer."
The cast consists of about twenty speaking parts and eight non-speaking parts. Joe Ritzen, a circus member with no lines says, "Practices are very energetic and get everyone ready to perform a great show.
Mrs. Lanphear, says, "We've had several practices where we've worked on foreign accents, which have been very productive. The students have fun playing roles of people from different countries." Every cast member has an accent, whether it be British, French, Cockney, Southern or Middle Eastern.

Cardinal Singers UNC Jazz Festival
It is hard to believe that the school year will soon be over! The Singers have some wonderful performances planned in the next few weeks. The Chadron High Cardinal Singers will be joining Greely, Colorado's Jazz Competition on Thursday, April 16th. There, the singers will be critiqued by judges and get to connect and listen to many other groups, high schools, and colleges. After school on Wednesday, April 15, the Cardinal Singers will be on their way and will stay overnight in Colorado. The next day the singers will perform at 11:30 a.m. "The UNC Jazz Festival is a very large event! There will be many opportunities for the Singers to listen to other high school groups as well as college groups. There are also wonderful workshops to attend and concerts to see," said director Wendy Mahr.
Another important date is April 22, where the singers will be competing against other schools around the Panhandle and getting critiqued by judges. On Thursday, April 30 is the Spring concert and Spaghetti Dinner Fund Raiser. "The Cardinal Singers will need to raise money to cover the cost of music and travel for the UNC Jazz Festival. We also need to have money in our account when the school year starts in the fall. That money is used to help cover the costs for competitions and music at the beginning of the year. I hope that having a fundraiser right before the concert will help us. The Singers will be helping with the dinner by serving and helping set up, states Mahr. The fundraiser will start at 5:15-6:30 p.m., while being followed by the 7:00 concert.
For the month of April, the Cardinal Singers are very busy. Not to mention, they have another week of singing for graduation in May. Best of wishes to Wendy and the Cardinal Singer group.

Easter in Germany
Easter is one of the most loved holidays in America, full of religious traditions and gatherings of friends and families. But did you know that in Germany, Easter is one of the most popular holidays also? In Germany, Easter marks new beginnings as it is intertwined with spring's gift of sunlight and growth after a cold winter.
This year at Chadron High School, we have the privilege of having two foreign exchange students, Liam Simon and Hendrik Gajewski. Both hail from Germany, and have a firsthand experience with all the traditions celebrated in Germany for Easter.
Although some families do not celebrate Easter Sunday in Germany, just as some do not here in the United States, Liam's family back home has specific reasons as to why they celebrate. "We celebrate Easter for my little brothers. They are excited for it, and it's a nice opportunity to be with my family,” said Liam.
As for Hendrik, he simply states, "We celebrate Easter for Jesus." In Hendrik's life, Easter is also an affair for the entire family. As a family tradition, Hendrik says, "We all head over to my grandparents."
Although in the United States it is ordinary for churches to be overflowing on Easter, Liam says, "It's not very common in Germany." What is common however is,"You get up early in the morning and your parents tell you that the Easter bunny was there over night, and he hid eggs and candy for you to find." Sound familiar?
On the contrary, Hendrik's family back home does not celebrate with the classic search of colorful eggs and sweet treats. "We receive little presents," he says.
As many know, food is a large component of what makes any holiday. In Germany, Liam said his family dines on pie and coffee, and usually some German pretzels. According to Hendrik, his family eats "whatever my grandma makes."
However, this year, the foreign exchange students might get a different perspective on Easter as they celebrate in the United States. Although Liam is not sure what his host family is doing this year, he says, "I know that we are dying Easter eggs." And as for Hendrik, his host family is "going to church, and then having dinner."
Scholatics Day
Friday, March 27, 2015, Chadron High School, and other high schools from around the area, participated in the Chadron State College Scholastics Day. Numerous tests from subjects such as business, science, health, and education, are administered by college professors, and a number of students, ranging from two to seventy, participate.
The senior winners of each test are awarded with a full tuition scholarship from Chadron State College for one year. Students who place in the top three are awarded with a certificate of recognition, as well as a medal. The top 25% of students are recognized on the Chadron State College webpage.
In the 2015 competition, Chadron High School had 31 students place in the top 25%, and 11 students place in the top three places in their tests. These students included: Walt Mays, Alea Brierly, Jackson Dickerson, Jayden Garrett (in two tests), Mikaela Hastings, Hunter Hawk, Joe Matt, Greg McCallum, Alexandria Nobiling, and Andrew Smith.
Guidance counselor, Loni Watson, expressed her pride in her Chadron High students by saying, "I am so very proud of the students that competed in the Scholastics Contest at Chadron State. We had 10 people place in the top three of their tests; that is incredible. Chadron High has a bunch of smarties!"
