History of the “Enterprise”Captain Henry Miller Shreve, steamboat pilot of the

1800’s and namesake of our high school, is famous for hisefforts in opening the inland waterways of America. Not sofamous, however, is Shreve’s first steamboat, the“Enterprise,” and its role in American history.

Wary of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly over trade onthe Mississippi River, Shreve realized the necessity ofbuilding a superior steam vessel. As a result, Shreve formeda partnership with entrepreneur Daniel French to designsuch a boat. The result of their work was the steamboat“Enterprise.” On Dec. 1, 1814, she left on her maiden voy-age with 29-year-old Shreve as her captain.

This first voyage was no leisurely trip. A precious cargoof munitions and supplies was desperately needed byGeneral Andrew Jackson’s troops in New Orleans. The longtrip down the Mississippi River was a success, and, withintwo weeks, the cargo was safely delivered to Jackson’scamp. Shreve’s fearless attitude and the dependability ofthe “Enterprise” were crucial factors in the victory over theBritish at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.

Now, as the student newspaper of Captain Shreve HighSchool, The Enterprise strives to emulate the fearlessnessand dependability of Shreve and his ship in reporting thenews important to you, the students of Captain Shreve.

Summer break: Summer break: More than just a vacaMore than just a vacation tion

Summer break is a luxurymost students in the UnitedStates get every year. It givesa chance to take a few monthsto relax.

However, President Obamais proposing year-roundschooling for students so theycan compete with students indifferent countries.

Sure, year-round schoolsget more breaks, but none ofthose breaks is as long assummer vacation.

At year-round schools theremay not be enough time torepair broken school propertyor clean the floors.

Summer vacation, though,gives plenty of time to fix upthe school while students andteachers are gone.

Summer vacation gives stu-dents and faculty a time torelax and recharge for the nextschool year.

There is more time to goout of town and visit relativesthan it would be if there wasyear-round schools.

By the end of the year astudent’s brain is burned outand they are stressed. Summervacation is a time to relievestress, sleep whenever onewants, and not have to worryabout school work.

If school was year-roundgrades might start droppingeven with breaks that last afew weeks. Students would betoo tired to put in their normaleffort. Students need longbreaks

Teachers may even be moreon edge with students. When ateacher is unhappy the wholeclass is unhappy.

If someone was movingand they went to a year-roundschool they be leaving in themiddle of the year no matterwhat time of year they moved.With summer break there istime to adjust in one’s newhome and environment beforestarting school.

Students cannot go to sum-mer long camps becausethere’s no time. Which mightalso mean that they cannot seetheir friends as often.

Schools should stick withsummer vacation to keep themorale of students high andthe school running smoothly.

Cruises: Great wayto spend summer

by Hannah Brosius

Students are always tryingto think of the best vacationsto go on during the summer.

Some may prefer amuse-ment parks when others pre-fer cruises and the beach. Ifstudents are trying to decidefor the first time, though, itcan be very difficult.

The first vacation I canremember I had was when Iwent on a Disney Cruise.

My parents, my momespecially, loved anythingthat had to do with DisneyWorld.

I was really young when Iwent on it, but I do remembersome really amazing thingsabout it.

There were Disney char-acters like Goofy, MickeyMouse, and Cinderellaalways walking around theship.

Sometimesthe characterseven interactwith theguests. Thefirst sea dayStitch cameup to mewhen I was atthe buffettable andtried to steal a fry from me.

That may seem like achildish thing for teenagersto be excited about, but it wasreally funny.

The ship also had differentpools both inside and outsidewhere you could spend seadays at.

There was always a hugebuffet table every day withdifferent things to eat eachday too.

Best of all though wasthat almost everything on theship was free.

There was no need tostand in long lines waiting topay for things because every-thing is already payed for.

There are also cruises thatare not Disney related. Ifavor anything Disney relat-ed.

If you are not a big fan ofDisney but still love pretty

water and beaches, then I stillrecommend going on a cruisenot Disney orientated.

All cruises are relaxingand fun.

There are cruises that goto other places besides theCaribbean, such as Europe.

I have never been on acruise that has gone any-where besides the Caribbean,but I hope to do so sometimein the future. I have hearmany good things aboutcruises that go to Alaska andEurope. Alaska cruises arethe total opposite ofCaribbean cruises since youare not able to sun bathe orswim outside unless youwant to freeze.

Another of my favoritevacations was when I went toDisney World.

I think I have been to bothDisney World and Disney

Land equaltimes, but Iwould have tosay DisneyWorld is myfavorite.

E v e nthough all therides areamazing Iwould have tosay my

favorite ride would be SpaceMountain.

It is this roller coasterwhere I feel like I am inspace with stars all aroundme as I go through a tunnel. Icould go on that ride againand again.

It depends on what time ofthe year, but sometimes thelines can be very long andhave a wait for as long as twohours.

But sometimes people cango at a certain time of theyear and it feels like the parkis empty.

Of course there are still agood amount of people there,but I did not have to stand inany line for very long.

As long as I am doingsomething pertaining toDisney I am having a greatsummer.

Summer fashion trends for 2011

Snow cones:Staff reviews local stands

by Hannah Brosius

The hot summer is comingup fast and students are going tostart craving something cold toeat. Snow cones are a snack thatcan satisfy students’ cravings,but snow cones are sometimeshard to find and it can be a has-sle to try to find a good one.

The texture of the ice, con-venience of the location andtaste of the flavors are a few ofthe factors students might con-sider.

The Snow Shack is locatedon Captain Shreve Drive next toRollin’ in the Dough and acrossfrom the library. It is in a com-fortable little area where there isnot very much noise. Benchesare avaliable to customers to sitdown in the shade and enjoytheir snow cone. The priceswere the best as well. The SnowShack has a wide range of fla-vors including peach daiquiri,hurricane, strawberry cheese-cake, fireball and French vanil-la. The ice is crunchy but nottoo soft. They only take cashand no bills over 20.

Tim’s Southern Sno is locat-ed on Youree Drive. Unlike The

Snow Shack, it does not have aplace to sit down and is locatedon a busy street so it is noisier.It also is busier. But for thosewho prefer smooth ice insteadof crunchy ice, it may be thebetter choice. Tim’s SouthernSno has flavors such as weddingcake, birthday cake and peach.

Frigid Frog is located onYouree Drive across from LSUSand next to Saturdays. It is a lit-tle yellow shack and has many

different flavors such as mango,blizzard and necter. There is abench next to it, but nothingoverhead to protect you fromthe sun. The prices are alsomore expensive than The SnowShack and Tim’s Southern Sno.The ice is not as crunchy as atThe Snow Shack and not assmooth as Tim’s Southern Sno.They also do not take any billsover 20.

Pulling out the shorts onceagain and this time styling themup a bit! This season is all aboutcolor and print. Fashion hasbeen with us in different formssince the beginning of time. It’sinteresting how fashion from thepast can interfere with fashionin the present. As some peoplemay say, “fashion is just repeat-ed from the past.”

As the winter sales come toan end people start to get anexciting little peek at what willbe hitting the stores for summer.“I love to express myself, style,

and uniqueness during themonths of July-September,”said Chelsea Ellis, junior.

Summer makes shorts, tanks,and sandals come to mind! Mostpeople have their own way ofwearing summer clothes. Forexample, dressing a summeroutfit up with a hat, sunglasses,or a vest.

Snappin' is back. There hasbeen a talk about it for the pastcouple years, but 2011 is proba-bly the more official year ofsnapbacks being on the scenefor fashion kids and on theshelves of retail stores.

The 2011 summer trend alsoinclude cut-offs, dresses,rompers and much more forwomen. Cargos, camoflage,plaid shirts, denim and etc. willbe in most of the men’s summerwardrobe. “Having my legs outis the best thing about Summer,”said Alex Ingram, junior.

Another way to capture the

fashion for summer 2011 in amore conservative way is to letthe accessories do the work.Accessories is the easiest must-have fashion in the Summer.Mix and match clothes and jew-lery with bold colors.

“My accessiories are the fin-ishing touches to my summeroutfits,” Kaylie Mccollough,junior said.
