May 17, 2012 • Bailey Burchett
Coming into high school, I was so nervous. I went to Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic School before coming to Shawnee Heights, so it was a very scary adjustment going from a private school to a public school. I did attend a public school from kindergarten-fourth grade, then attending Most Pure Heart... Read more »

May 16, 2012 • Kassanrda Hogan
Every other Spring Break my family and I go on a cruise. I’ve been on two cruises my whole life. My first one was seventh grade Spring Break and my second was my freshman year Spring Break. Next year I will be going on my third cruise. Each year my family goes on a boat larger than the one before,... Read more »
Camping and canoeing
May 16, 2012 • Matt Fowler
I go canoeing every year with my family and some friends during the summer. Canoeing is really fun and is good exercise. We go canoeing on a river in Missouri, and it’s really nice. It’s a six hour drive, but the drive up never seems that long. Going canoeing is a lot of fun. Every year when... Read more »

Team bonding
May 8, 2012 • Jake Weigel
Tennis started off with a bang, with practice starting before Spring Break then continuing to heat up after. We practiced five days a week for two hours every day; the team as a whole improved a lot. Everyone had a desire to get better, and we worked hard doing drills and playing in challenge matches.... Read more »
Can’t fire a cannon from a canoe
May 8, 2012 • Chris Orton
Not all high school students gain the privilege of going to city and league, but the one’s that do need to perform at the highest level they possibly can. City is where all the local Topeka teams come with their best singles and doubles players and compete to see who the best is. League on the other... Read more »
Silver and golf
May 8, 2012 • Tre Ingram
With the weather warming, the feelings of spring sports are flooding through the school. The sport of my choosing is golf. Through the winter I have been practicing and refining my golf game, but with limited time due to playing basketball. One of my teammates, senior Ronnie McHenry, has also been playing... Read more »
More frigid than Artic Ocean
May 4, 2012 • Chris Orton
The Polar Plunge is one of the coldest moments one would ever experience when in the water. Some may even say that it is as cold as the Arctic Ocean. “Standing with my bare feet buried in the freezing sand, I could only imagine what the water was going to feel like, but knowing it was for a good cause...

Basketball
May 2, 2012 • Angelo Cordero
Recently basketball for Shawnee Heights High School ended, and it was a great, but very short season. All the memories, wins, loses: it was still a great year with all my teammates and coaches. I look forward to, hopefully, doing it again next year. ... Read more »
