The Streak

Two finalist teams, Voorhees Regional High School and Hunterdon Central Regional High School, answer advanced trivia questions while competing for the championship of the Warren-Hunterdon Academic Meet at Voorhees Dec. 6. The Warren Hills Horizons Club finished seventh overall at the WHAM advanced trivia competition, where students are asked questions that relate to specific topics. The students for each school are divided into teams and a maximum of four members of each team compete against other teams. There are 30 questions in each round. If a team fails to answer a question in 30 seconds, or responds incorrectly, the other team has 15 seconds to answer. “Despite the fact that WHAM is a competition, students always go in with a positive attitude and have a great time working collaboratively,” said Warren Hills High School Librarian Margaret Devine. After completing three rounds, the total points for each team are added up, and the two teams with the most points compete in a final round on stage. Hunterdon Central won the final round after three tie-breakers, a new record. (Photo by Stephanie Dunlap)

Students write letters for the Write for Rights Campaign at the Human Rights Club library showcase Dec. 10 in recognition of International Human Rights Day. Pictured are (left to right) sophomore Chelsea Sawyer, junior Ashley Wyckoff, and freshmen Tess Errickson, Michelle Perna, and Jennifer Umana. The international Write for Rights Campaign, which began in 2010, sends millions of letters each December to support those whose rights have been violated and to pressure governments into reforming oppressive laws. I am a huge advocate for equality for all people, said sophomore Stephanie Dunlap, a member of the Human Rights Club. Seeing all these different cases and situations just really pushed me to join the club. (Photo by Samantha Bradley)

The combined Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, conducted by Band Director Jason Graf, perform at the Fall Concert on Dec. 4 in the Warren Hills Regional High School Auditorium. Band students had been preparing for the Fall Concert since early September, practicing selections such as Among the Clouds and Entry of the Gladiators. We had a snow day on Monday, so we missed that one day of being able to prepare, but everything came together, Graf said. The combined band especially sounded really great playing and the audience enjoyed it. Other upcoming performances involving the bands include the Prism Concert, scheduled for March 4, and the Spring Concert, scheduled for May 6. (Photo by Samantha Bradley)

For English Teacher Emily Kablis’ public speaking class this year, students were assigned to write and present a How-To Speech. For Sarah Chaplain, this meant bringing in her life-size horse statue to show her classmates how to tack up Western style. Chaplain and her father built the lifelike model along with three others, all of which are built to size. Each of her horses was designed with a certain magical creature in mind. The one she brought to class was a Threstral, but back at home, she also has a unicorn, Pegasus and water kelpie. Chaplain has been riding for practically her entire life, and she has her own, living horse, as well. Her father, an elevator mechanic, added features such as glowing eyes, moving heads, and flapping wings. It’s no wonder that Chaplain got an A on her speech. (Photo by Sarah Hale)

Warren Hills students celebrated at the Homecoming Dance quite differently this year. The dance was originally set to start at seven on Saturday October 26, when the Warren Hills football team came down with mononucleosis and had to cancel the Homecoming Football game scheduled for October 25, the dance was moved to replace the game. Before the dance, however, the usual announcement of king and queen was set before the dance, accompanied by the Marching Band field show. “Things happen, it was just one homecoming [and] it was good considering the circumstances.” said Ashley Desroisiers, a member of Student Council. Jake Smith and Paulina Georgoutsos were 2019 Homecoming King and Queen.
