Sophomore football team downs Yankton 33-12Sophomore FootballBy Reagan Stenzel and Trey DeCroock

The sophomore football team traveled to Yankton on Monday and pulled out a victo-ry over the Bucks 33-12, despite a few penalties and mistakes.

On offense, the Warriors were led by sophomore Sean Oromo with 137 yards rush-ing and on a touchdown pass from freshman Seth Benson to sophomore Ethan McKinney.

On defense, sophomores Josh Garry and Dominick Warmbein led the team in tackles.

Coach Steve Kennedy said the team will work hard in practice.

“We will need a better effort to compete with an undefeated Watertown team on Thursday at WHS,” Kennedy said. “I have huge expectations for this team. We need to step-up and be true to the Warrior tradi-tion.”

Freshman Will Farniok agreed the team has a lot to do.

“The team played well, but there’s always room for improvement,” Farniok said.SoftballBy Shannon VanErmen and Mariah Madsen

Warrior drama students and any stu-dents interested in having a good time will present the first show of the

school year soon.Auditions for “The Emperor’s New Clothes”

will be held at 3:15 p.m. today in the auditori-um. No previous stage experience is needed, and all students are welcome to attend the auditions.

For anyone interested in backstage and tech work, sign-up will also be done during the same audition times today.

“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is a Danish folktale written by Hans Christian Andersen, originally published in the 1830’s. With up to 35 cast members needed, play director Fred

Reiner said he is looking for as many new faces as possible to participate in the show.

“‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ is a children’s play, and would be a great introduction play for people who are new to theater,” Reiner said. “We’re looking for people who don’t necessarily have experience, but have an interest in theater.”

Reiner stressed that this is one of possibly only 16 chances high school students will have to be in a show during their time at WHS, so all interested students, freshman through senior, are encouraged to come today and find out what theater is all about in a fun show with a flexible rehearsal schedule.

The show will open Oct. 23 in the WHS auditorium.

‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ promises fun for many

By Andy HeckAlmost every year, a new internet sensation sweeps

through the halls of WHS. From “Tebowing” to planking and “Don’t drop that

thun thun thun,” most are just harmless fun. This year, however, the Instagrams and Twitters of students have been filled with more then just fun, as videos of the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Ice Bucket Challenge have taken over social media.

The challenge consists of dumping an ice cold bucket of water on ones head, or giving a nominal donation to the ALS association to avoid the chilly shower. ALS, com-monly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control volun-tary muscle movement. Even if the challenge is completed,

contestants still usually donate to the good cause.

Contestants usually video their challenge as well, and in their videos announce who they were nominated by and then nominate two to three other people or groups who have 24 hours to post their own video of their own challenge. The huge success of the campaign has raised an estimated $100 million for the ALS foundation and catapulted a little-known disease into the center of attention.

ALS affects around 30,000 people in America. Famous cases of ALS include physicist Stephen Hawking and gui-tarist Jason Becker, both of whom have miraculously lived for many years with the disease.

The Ice Bucket Challenge, which began it’s viral status in early July, has been completed by the likes of Matt Damon, Weird Al Yankovic and former president George W. Bush, along with many groups at WHS. The WHS

drumline, boys and girls soccer and cross country teams and football team and coaching staff are a few of the groups that have participated in the challenge.

“On top of raising awareness for ALS, it was a lot of fun, and a great team bonding experience,” said senior girls soccer captain Hayley Durland (center of picture, above) of the challenge.

Students interested in similar charity events that are fun and for a good cause should check out the South Dakota Special Olympics Polar Plunge in April.

History.com (MCT)Frances Folsom

Cleveland, the wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to a daughter, Esther, in the White House on Sept. 9, 1893.

On June 2, 1886, in an intimate ceremony held in the Blue Room of the White House, President Grover Cleveland married Frances Folsom, the daughter of Cleveland’s late law partner and friend, Oscar Folsom. Fewer than 40 people were present to wit-ness the 49-year-old president exchange vows with Frances, who at 21 years of age became the youngest first lady in U.S. history.

The new Mrs. Cleveland, who replaced Cleveland’s sister Rose Elizabeth as White House hostess, won immedi-ate popularity for her good looks and unaf-fected charm. After the president’s defeat in his 1888 reelection bid, the Clevelands lived in New York City, where their first child, Ruth, was born in 1891. In 1892, in an event unprecedented in U.S. political history, the out-of-office Cleveland was elected president again. Frances Cleveland returned to Washington and resumed her duties as first lady as if she had been gone but a day.

On this day in 1893, the first family saw the addition of a second child. Esther was the first child of a president to be born in the White House.

When Grover Cleveland left the presi-dency in 1897, his wife had become one of the most popular first ladies in history. In 1908, she was at his side when he died at their home in Princeton, New Jersey.
