A big topic of discussion
has been the Michael Brown
Jr. case in Ferguson, Mo., a
suburb of St. Louis.
News reports have stated
WKDW�)HUJXVRQ�SROLFH�RIÀFHU�Darren Wilson shot and
killed an unarmed 18-year-
old African American man
Michael Brown Jr. after asking
him to move from the street
onto the sidewalk.
The incident led the town
to riot. There are different
versions circulating through
the media about what really
happened. Some say there was
an altercation between the two
where Brown tried to reach for
WKH�RIÀFHU·V�JXQ��2WKHUV�VD\�Brown was shot with his hands
in the air.
I could not imagine any
unarmed person trying to
DWWDFN�DQ�DUPHG�SROLFH�RIÀFHU�I strongly believe that the
RIÀFHU�ZDV�FRPSOHWHO\�ZURQJ��7KHUH�ZDV�QR�UHDVRQ�WR�ÀUH�DW�unarmed person. I think that
D�ÀVW�DOWHUFDWLRQ�ZRXOG�KDYH�been more acceptable than this.
There was no need to pull out a
weapon and kill!
According to statistics by
the United States Department
of Justice, white police
RIÀFHUV�VKRW�DQG�NLOOHG�$IULFDQ�American men at the rate of
two per week between the
years of 2005-2012.
As many remember, there
was the Trayvon Martin case
that happened back in 2012
that also struck a nerve all over
the media and country.
There was also Eric Garner,
Ezell Ford, and many more
whose cases did not get as
much attention as others. It
so happened that all these
men were unarmed as well as
Michael Brown.
My honest opinion is that
it was another race case, not
MXVW�EHFDXVH�,·P�DQ�$IULFDQ�American myself but because
of the statistics and that this is
happening repeatedly.
This is an emotional topic
for me, because it seems that
African American men are
the ones that are always being
targeted in these kinds of
issues. I feel they should have
the same kind of respect and
treatment as everyone else.
It seems to me that the
police overstep their rights
to a gun or feel they can do
anything they want because of
their “title.” I think it is time
the police quit getting away
with killing innocent people
because of the authority that
they have.

Ferguson shooting highlights race issue
“ It was really stupid for the
cop to shoot him. Cops need
more common sense about
suspects. This is like war on
black males. He needs to be
put in jail.”

American godson. They said

and won.”
“I feel it was pathetic that
a cop killed a man that had
family and friends who loved

Young Life Camp more than just for fun
Young Life is a Christian organization for
young people that helps them get a closer
relationship with God in a fun way. It also
helps them build a relationship with God
and understand Him in a way that they can
relate to. We asked a couple questions to
some students about the camp.

The vocal department is
bigger than ever this year.
They have expanded in
students and also added a new
class named Concert Choir.
It is the highest ranked choir
class and is auditioned.
In the past years, the vocal
department hasn’t been very
large. There has only been Scot
Singers and Mixed Chorus.
This year, there are 92 students
total in all three classes.
In order to pass through
auditions, you have to have a
good voice and must be able
work well with others.
This year, Director Patrick
Kintendo said that he plans
on reaching new voices, to
share music with the school
and the community, and most
importantly, participate in
concerts.
Junior Korynne McWilliams
said she’s been in choir since
her freshman year.
“We’re held to high
standards,” she said. “We
must have good grades and
be extremely responsible.
I’ve been elected president of
Concert Choir for this school
year.”
Concert choir sings more
classical and different language
music. Scot Singers, which is
also auditioned, is more glee,
pop music and dance. Mixed
chorus isn’t auditioned and is
for beginners.

New Year brings new changes
2QH�RI�WKH�ÀUVW�FKDQJHV�students noticed this year is the
lack of uniforms.
Highland Park has had
a uniform policy since fall
������EXW�DW�ÀUVW�LW�ZDV�MXVW�IRU�freshmen. The polo shirts were
introduced in 2010, but not all
of the grades wore them until
2012.
Getting rid of the polos has
made it mandatory to wear
school badges.
Most kids complain about
the badges but the teachers say,
“If we have to wear them so do
you.” Badges must be worn for
security purposes.
Highland Park has also
acquired a new program,
biomedical that is taught by
Gabe Dalton, the class is a
premed class taken after CNA.
A new club offered is
anime club, they meet every
Wednesday from 3:30- 5 p.m.
The school has 75 more
students enrolled than last year.
Ever since Highland Park has
stopped requiring students to
wear the uniforms the amount
of kids enrolled here has
grown.
Some students who left
Highland Park because they
had to wear the uniforms have
come back this year.
We have gained 16 new
teachers and two new
counselors this year. “We lost
as many as we gained,” said by
Dr. New.
New said she is looking
forward to the school year.
“You all have met and
exceeded my expectations.
Everybody gets along like a
family here.”

Paying It ForwardHomelessness has
always been a problem in America and, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness, 610,042 people are out on the streets every night; over 9 percent of them are veterans.
This week a student from Highland Park has decided to help make a difference with those in need.
Shaharra White, a senior, is putting together a food-drive, gathering clothing, and contacting barbers to come help the homeless and less fortunate.
Food will be given away, along with clothes and there will also be free haircuts for those in need.
The event will be held at Highland Park on October 23 from 5 to 6 p.m. White is looking for help gathering as much food and clothing from anyone that can help.
Fred Willer, in room 230, will take food and clothing donations.
“It’s more of a pay it forward movement. Give back to the community that gave to you,” said White.

When most people think about Highland Park they think of how many years they have attended. I started at the HP nursery in 1998.
My mom was a sophomore in high school when she had me. With my dad out of the SLFWXUH��P\�PRP�KDG�WR�ÀQG�a daycare that would be easy to drop me off and pick me up that was also affordable. That’s when she realized the school offered a daycare though at the time it wasn’t at the school, it was a reasonable distance.
The Highland Park United Methodist provided a space for parents who had nowhere to take their children starting in 1992. They also provided a parenting class in the last
two hours of the day to help the young teen parents get to know more about raising their children.
In 1998, the daycare moved here and I was almost 3 at this time. My mom and uncle came up with a plan that she would drop me off in the morning and my uncle would pick me up after class. I was one of 17 kids that graduated from the daycare in the class of 2000.
I am not the only one who ended up here for high school. 7KHUH�LV�D�JURXS�RI�DERXW�ÀYH�of us who go here Koryeene McWilliams, Stephaun Gales, Baileah Flynn, Erica Willige.

Started From The BottomBy Sophia Snepp
About one week into the school year, Dr. Bruce Babin the robotics instructor for the past three years, announced that he was leaving to take a professor job at K-State.
The industrial robotics class is one of a kind in the country. It was brought to the school through the $6 million improvement grant.
The move affected less then 20 students, who suddenly found themselves without a robotics and physics teacher.
At Babin’s farewell reception, Mr. Dustin Dick, who hired him, said it was GLIÀFXOW�WR�ÀQG�VRPHRQH�WR�ÀOO�WKDW�SRVLWLRQ��

Dr. Beryl New said,

Other staff members were sad to see Babin go.
“He raised the bar of what our kids believed they can do,” said Mrs. Teri Walton.
John Swift of the Kelly Center, said, “Dr Babin was an awesome guy. He took the time to visit with me, and we encouraged one another. We come from very different backgrounds but found a common ground, which is working with kids.”
For his parting words, Babin said, “It’s great to be a Scot! It’s been fun to be here and I’ll miss it a lot.”

caught Coach Sasha Wallace to see what
she had to say about the team.
Q: Does the team look better than last
year?
A: Yes, new attitudes and more effort.
Q: Do you have enough for a Fresh-
man/JV/Varsity?
A: Large variety in numbers, we have
about 45 girls come out this year.
Q: Who are your top returners?
A: Kloey Hartzell, Quinesha Jones,
Pejanae Inyard and Teresa Bayless
Q: Top newcomers?
A: Analisa Ramos and Dontajah Jones

Q: How does the team respond to the
heat waves in the gym?
A: Still working hard, lots of water
breaks but the effort is still the same.
Kloey Hartzell preparing to serve.
The boy’s soccer team started the season
out strongly with a 1-0 victory against
Eudora.
With team captains, Valente Carrillo,
Antonio Vega, and Cesar Guerra Garcia,
leading the team, the Scots were able to
close out the match with a game-winning
penalty kick scored by Garcia in overtime.
The team grew in size since last year.
Last year the team only had about 26
people and this year the team has 46
people.
Coach Jeremy Hall said that the biggest
obstacles for the team this year include
“getting frustrated because it’s a long
season and they’re facing tough teams. “
Hall hopes that the team, including team
stars Carrillo, Maikol Acosta Martinez,
and Robert Martin-Foster, will be able to
push through and come closer as a team.
Coach Hall’s main focus for this year is
“improving and moving forward.”
The Scots had a disappointing match
with an 8-0 loss against Washburn Rural.
The team will go on to face tough teams
throughout the year.
“I don’t care how [the season] ends, as
long as we know we tried our best,” said
Garcia. Cesar Garcia scoring the game winning goal in 2OT.
