After reading Julius Caesar, Mrs. Jibben’s sopho-mores held a festival celebrating our cultural ancestors from the Apennine Peninsula! They brought food that originated from the area, wore togas, presented infor-mation relevant to the theme and decorated the class with large drawings of the Coliseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa, a Centurion, the Roman Empire’s flag and the Lat-in alphabet. The Plebs thought it was a blast!

Christmas School-Wide Fun By: Tyson Karsky

December 23, during 6th and 7th hours we are going to have some fun! We will be watching movies, playing board games and hav-ing activities in the gym, but needless to say, if you do not have your homework turned in you will be sitting in a study hall finishing it while the rest of us are enjoying ourselves! Mrs. Raguse and Coach Christensen are the people to contact with your good ideas. They are interested in appropriate holiday mov-ies you would like to watch, which games you would like to play (Carbles anyone?) and other thoughts you have about making this a great kickoff to our holiday break. Share your ideas and look for sign-up sheets soon.

“In the Heart of the Sea”

“In the Heart of the Sea” is based on the true story of the winter of 1820, when a whaling ship named the Essex was attacked by a monstrosity of a sperm whale. The attack stranded ninety men at sea, thou-sands of miles away from their homes in New England. As the captain and the rest of the crew tries to survive in the middle of the sea in the dead of winter, the captain’s first mate attempts to track down and kill the whale that destroyed the ship. This actual event is what inspired Herman Melville to write his famous book “Moby Dick.” The movie, starring Chris Hems-worth, will be released next Friday and is rated PG-13.

Senior or Sevie of the Week

This week’s Sevie of the week is Jakob Adelman who is look-ing forward to being able to play JH sports this year! His fa-

vorite thing about high school is playing Dodge Ball at lunch, but he misses having the same teacher for almost all of his classes. He very much likes playing sports—all of them—though if he had to choose a favorite it would be baseball, and naturally, his favorite class is gym! His goal is to not end up flipping burgers at McDonalds when he graduates. Jakob has 4 brothers, three older and one younger!
