Plaid the new fadEarly last year junior Jake Stacey

started to wear plaid shorts after see-ing them in many stores around the mall. “Nobody wore them last year when I started to wear plaid, but now just about everyone wears plaid shorts,” Stacey said.

Plaid is a Scots language word that means blanket type of design that was started in Scotland and Britain, and it was worn on the shoulders of Scot-tish Highlanders. The earlier form of a kilt was the belted plaid that was worn around the waist with a belt and usually cast over the shoulders.

This outfit was worn over a shirt and served as an all-weather outfit that could be used as a blanket or a bedroll for sleeping outside. But now girls have shirts, shorts and skirts available in plaid. And boys often wear plaid shirts and shorts.

Junior Alli Barthol, for example, has two pairs of plaid shorts and a plaid skirt that she got from American Eagle a few years ago. “I started wearing plaid in eighth grade,” she said. “I wear it because all of the cool kids wear plaid.”

Barthol also said she likes when guys wear plaid and thinks it is sexy.

In the 1990s plaid clothing started becom-ing popular along with f lannel, but it wasn’t until a few years ago when this fad hit Dexter. Now plaid shorts are sold in almost every clothing store with many different styles of plaid along with many different colors.

Stacey said he gets his plaid shorts from either Pac Sun or American Eagle,

and he said has about eight or nine pairs of them.

Junior Alex Bercu also wears plaid shorts, and he said he got all four of his

shorts from American Eagle because he likes them the best out of all of the brands. “I wear plaid shorts because they are stylish, and I’m always stylish,” Bercu said. “I started wear-ing them last year when I saw them in American Eagle, and now I wear them all the time.”

Bercu also said plaid shorts are great for golf-ing, and he always wears

them when he plays. Plaid shorts have become very popular among high school students lately, and the trend seems to be growing rapidly. They can be worn with just about any clothes, and many students say they are perfect for playing golf and hanging out in the sun.

Some are interested in learning about a subject not offered at Dexter High School. Others have already exhausted every class in their chosen field. For whatever reason, about a dozen DHS students dual-enroll at local colleges each year.

Senior James Priestley, for example, has taken technology, humanities and math-ematics courses at Eastern Michigan Uni-versity, along with calculus at Washtenaw Community College. “Dual-enrolling en-ables students to enhance their education beyond the standard limitations of high school,” he said. “By dual-enrolling, I am able to take math and history courses that are not offered at DHS or do not fit into my schedule.”

Guidance counselor Gerry Holmes said being able to take different classes is one of the biggest advantages of dual-enroll-ment. “Students are able to take courses that we don’t offer here, and we’ll pay for

them,” she said. “If a student wants to take an evening course or a weekend course, they can.”

On the other hand, Holmes said stu-dents should only dual-enroll if they have exhausted the curriculum at DHS. “They shouldn’t take it as a replacement course to avoid a teacher here,” she said. “We won’t pay for it if it’s the same.”

Priestley agreed. “Underclassmen can’t dual-enroll because of the necessity for one to provide one’s own transporta-tion,” he said. “Also, WCC won’t allow you to attend until you’re a sophomore. EMU doesn’t until you’re a junior.”

And for students planning to transfer dual-enrollment credits to their college of choice, there is something else to keep in mind. “Some colleges will not accept transfer credit,” Holmes said. “At the Uni-versity of Michigan, if you use it for your 22 credits to graduate at DHS, you can’t use it for U of M.”

Also, it is impossible for dual-enroll-ing students to be sure that they will get a

high-quality teacher. Priestley said he did at EMU. “Two of my EMU professors had doctorates, so they were more than well-qualified,” he said. “Classes were very formal, and teachers exceeded standard expectations.”

Priestley said he learned from materials that would never be introduced in a high school setting. “One of my professors had the class read and watch graphic materials as a way of revealing the world as it is,” he said. “We saw a video of what the nuclear bombs did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

However, he had less positive experi-ences at WCC. “If I had only attended lec-tures without reading the text,” Priestley said, “I would have failed to grasp any of the basic concepts of the class.”

In short, he found his classes to be very different than the ones at DHS. “One of my teachers made references to the Sargasso Sea in a futile attempt to explain vector fields,” he said. “And another tended to fa-vor awarding extra credit to maintaining a competent teaching style.”

Having always had a passion for the environment and wanting to protect it, sci-

ence teacher Katie McKinley found it perfect to become adviser of the Environmental club

this year, and she said she is proud she helped the school become a Green School

According McKinley, there are 10 tasks suggested by the state in order to become a Michigan Certifi ed Green School. “We did a fundraiser through the company ‘We Add Up’ in which we sold organic T-shirts to help stop

global warming,” she said. Through selling the T-shirts the

club raised a total of $1,444. However, of the money

raised, accord-ing to

McKinley, the Environmental Club got to keep $288.

“Of the $288 we used $100 to donate towards the Green School program, $100 to the World Wildlife Federation to adopt a blue whale and also a polar bear and $88 towards the Children’s Eternal Rain forest,” she said.

However, those are not the only steps the Environmental Club took to becoming a Green School. “We also volunteered to help at the Department of Natural Resources, where se-niors Felicity Burke and Laura Wolfe and sophomores Sarah Adler and Nick Hart helped

out,” McKinley said. “While there, we collected seeds of na-

tive wildfl owers to help preserve native plant species found in prairies

that have been replaced by invasive exotic species that were not originally

part of the prairie ecosystem.”And Burke found the experience a valuable one.

“It was really a sweet thing to do,” she said. “It only took a couple hours to do, and the seeds were really easy to pick and overall the whole experience was relaxing.”

Also, to help achieve Green School status, en-vironmental club hosted two guest speakers. Kim LeClair from U of M’s career service spoke to the club members about science careers and education needed to get into those type of careers.

According to Burke an other activity that took place was taking recyclable items, such as old used ink cartridges old cell phones and iPods throughout the schools and donating them to the program “Car-tridges for Kids”.

“I think that recycling these items is important to Dexter, because people don’t realize how many cartridges the school really goes through. And the school gets the money back for these things which can be used for another cause,” Burke said.

Through recycling items, hosting guest speakers, selling organic T-shirts and many more activities the Environmental Club was able to achieve Green School status. “I think the Green School for DHS is a huge deal,” Burke said. “But we have to prove why we deserve it every year, so we have to keep the effort

going. Dexter is a growing town, and now we can be proud that both the middle school and high

school are green schools.”

DHS the standard for GREEN When the district-wide Parent Teacher Organization

collapsed two years ago, the high school was left with no way to raise money. This is how the new Parent Teacher Student Group formed.

The Parent Teacher Student Group began two years ago, as a way to get students more involved in the school. “The PTSG organization which replaced the PTO collapsed,” PTSG adviser Deborah Marsh said. According to Marsh, the PTO was a district-wide organization, and the PTSG is for the high school only, but the lack of participation has hindered the group.

“People at the high school still wanted an organization to help enrich the basic function because of their great ideas,” Marsh said. “The only real difference (between the PTO and the PTSG) is the name. We wanted to make sure the kids felt welcome to join so we changed the name.”

And Marsh said it is important students get involved with the PTSG. “They (students) can get involved by coming to meetings and participating in activities,” Marsh said. “They can benefit because everything we’re trying to do is intended to make the experience at DHS better for them.”

Junior Jasmine Injejekian is one of the three students in the PTSG. She agreed to join after Marsh asked her to. Injejekian agrees with Marsh that the lack of participation is key to the organizations shortcomings. “It could be a really good organization, but because of the low student participation, it is not at the level it should be,” she said.

One thing that the PTSG is working on is a Career Day for students. “It is intended to introduce them to a variety of career choices,” Marsh said. “We’re hoping for all different businesses in town to send a person to present as well as people who live in our community who have interesting jobs.”

The Career Day will be May 30, during the first three hours of the school day from 8- 10:30 a.m. According to Marsh, there will be 55-60 individuals from a wide variety of careers present. “The more diversity we have present to our students, the more they’ll understand what kinds of jobs are out there,” Marsh said. “Our hope is for this to become a biannual event so that students are exposed to as many careers as possible linked directly with what they are studying in class.”

According to Marsh, even if a student does not see a presentation they wish to, they still have the opportunity to get that career information.

“They’ll have a handout, so that if a student heard that a particular career was being discussed, but wasn’t in that class, a student can pick up a form from that presenter for more information,” she said.

Marsh is also in the midst of other projects with the PTSG. “We are working on getting a district-wide directory made,” Marsh said. According to Marsh, the PTSG has also organized an Earth Day Clean Up of the school grounds.

Marsh said the success of the PTSG is solely based on the participation it receives. “We’re in out infant stages of an organization,” she said. “We really need more parents, teachers and students who are willing to organize and help out.

Since I was old enough to remember, I have been a Dexter student. I’ve been in this district since I started school in the fall of 1994. I’m what we like to call a “lifer” or a “K-12er.”

I went to Cornerstone the year it opened. I ran the Turkey Trot at Bates. I played on Wylie Wonderworld. I attended seventh grade camp while at Mill Creek, and for the last four years I’ve spent my days in big ol’ DHS.

I’ve been in this district for countless ordeals. I’ve been through bomb threats, teachers getting fi red for sexual relations with students, girl fi ghts, someone taking a deuce in the elevator, a janitor stealing things from students. The list goes on.

Everything I recollect in my life can somehow be brought back to Dexter schools. The worst moment of my life?

Having to watch the hockey team from the bench while I was suspended during the playoffs and watch our rival Chelsea score the game-winning goal in overtime.

And the best of my life? That next year against that same rival in the playoffs in overtime. But I was playing and scored this time. But today, when

I leave here, it will never be the same. Something I’ve become so accustomed to my entire life will be done.

This is often referred to as “The next chapter in your life.” Well, if my life is anything like my school work, the last four years of which consisted of forgetting to read the fi rst chapter and reading Spark Notes instead, I’m in trouble for the next few chapters.

Though I’m excited for the next phase in my life, a sense of fear still lingers in the back of my mind about whether I’d rather stay in high school. Not that I want to be here forever, but I’ve got it pretty good.

I wake up and go to second hour because I’m tough and don’t have a fi rst hour. Then I go to choir and sing (Yeah, that’s right, son, I’m in choir.) Then I go to AP Gov that consists of discussing the Tigers and last night’s “Colbert Report.”

After that I go to lunch, which since were on the topic, I’d like to give a shout out to all my girls down in the cafeteria. You as much as anyone have made my experience in Dexter schools nothing short of phenomenal.

You have made some of the most incredible stromboli, chicken sandwiches, cheesy taco mac and cheeseburger pizzas I have ever had, never without its signature ingredient. A little slice of love.

The rest of my day usually consists of listening to music in Intro to Media Lit and dominating the athletic scene in Lifetime Fitness. This is what I have to do every day, and I’m happy to say, though, I don’t mind getting up every morning.

The question still runs through my mind if I’m actually ready for the real

world. And not that fake stuff you see on MTV. Anyone with a sexual organ and tolerance of alcohol could be on that show. And I think I am.

High school doesn’t make immature students into mature ones. But the teachers do. The teachers I have had in the past four years have gone above and beyond. They’ve not only taught me the stuff any literate person could read in a textbook but have actually treated me like a human being while making class fun and interesting.

I came into this school thinking I was a hardass freshmen because I hung out with upperclassmen and had already kissed a girl. I leave DHS and believe I’m a somewhat intelligent person in society.

I’ve heard that with being a senior a considerable amount of wisdom is automatically placed on your shoulders. And now I’m going to spread some of this knowledge with a few tips on how to survive high school for you incoming freshmen and even you underclassmen who are trying to fi nd your way.

1. Become friends with teachers, para pros, administration or anyone with a employee ID badge. I did this and not only has it helped me get out of trouble, but I’ve found there are some really nice people that work in this school district.

2. Don’t think you’re tough. OK, we all know you have a girlfriend that is so hot that you make out with and you wear a fl at bill hat. I’m really not impressed.

3. Enjoy it. I’ve heard this 1,000 times and thought it was stupid every time I heard it, but it really does fl y by. Have a good one folks.

“I think we’re trouble makers, but the good kind that everyone likes and will remember.”

“I think we came into the school as the rowdiest class, and we should leave the same way.”

-Sarah Burke

“We’re a class who really wants to have fun and not be too serious.”

-Mary Ann Vu

It’s impossible to define the class of 2008. No single word can sum up the intricacies of every students’ personality or categorize what we’ve accomplished in the last 13 years.

As Assistant Superintendent Mary Marshall, former principal at Wylie, said, “The class of 2008 is one of those that had a healthy variety of students, rather than a large group of students who all tried to look or act the same.”

But if we are all so different, so unique, what is our signifying quality? How will we be remembered when we are gone to college and for the rest of our lives?

Will we be remembered as the smart class? Doubtful. Not to say we don’t have our share of academic aficionados. But it’s hard to argue that we are, as a whole,

smarter than any other graduating class.Will we be remembered as the athletic

class? Maybe, but how deserving we are of the title is debatable. True, during our four years at DHS, seven state title banners have been added in the gym. But none of those can be written off as the sole accomplishment of one grade, rather as the accumulation of multiple grade’s talents and dedication.

Will we be remembered as troublemakers? Though it’s not a glamorous title, it may be as fitting as any other. After all we have had our mischievous moments. (A certain seventh grade lock in where a stink bomb was let

off in the gym comes to mind.) But for the most part our acts of devilry have been innocent in nature.

Still we have no clear place, no distinction of who we are. But perhaps that’s because we can’t measure ourselves against the accomplishments of others. We can only gauge who we are

against who we were. And disagree if you may, but who we were was nothing to be proud of.

Prior to entering high school, we lacked direction. Select individuals may have had a clue as to what was going on, but as a group we were clueless.

Now as we leave DHS for the last time as students, it’s hard to argue that we don’t know what we’re doing.

What changed in the four short years we spent at DHS is a mystery. Maybe the teachers finally pounded something into our heads. Maybe it was a natural maturation. Maybe it was the aliens. But something definitely changed and changed for the better.

So how do you define the class of 2008? One word that could describe us is decent. Not as in mediocre or average, but like a decent person.

We’re sure to make our mistakes, plenty of them in fact, but we will always be trying to right them.

Our maturity has skyrocketed over the last year. According to Principal Kit Moran a sense of the light at the end of the tunnel often brings out the best in seniors.

“I see it in seniors, a maturity,” Moran said. “They’ve got that ‘I just want to get out of here’ thing going on and then it turns to ‘what do I do now?’”

It may sound tacky and generic, but we’re ready. We’re ready to tackle whatever is in store for us.

There’s a good chance we’ll fall on our faces a couple times. Actually, it’s a certainty we will. But we’ll be OK.

Then what is our claim to fame? Why are we special? For now, at least, we aren’t. Our legacy is that we don’t have one.

But if the changes we’ve made in the last 10 years are any indication, we’ll definitely leave our mark some day.

It’s been real ‘08

Class of ‘08 carries legacy

Moving to Dexter from Marion, Indiana during the last three weeks of his junior year was hard for senior Andrew McGriff.

“I made it in time for three weeks of my junior year at Dexter and stayed here all summer,” McGriff said. “It’s hard. You basically have to make a new life for yourself. It was scary, and I though it was going to suck, but it turned out alright.”

Although the move was difficult, McGriff said he did make a new life for himself and feels he has fit in fine.

“It was sh---y at first,” McGriff said about the move. “But then I started to meet people through sports and other activities. Football and baseball have allowed me to meet new people and make new friends.”

Even though McGriff said he likes Dexter and the people he has met, he can’t help but miss the people of his hometown.

“Sometimes I wish I went back to Indiana to go through my senior year with my friends there,” he said. “It is just different having to go through

my senior year here in a new place that I am still getting used to.”

Senior David Cooper also moved to Dexter around March 17 last year from Neuqua Valley High School in Illinois and had to start over like McGriff.

Although Cooper lived in Dexter in 1998 when he was in second grade, he said is was still different moving back.

“I had not seen anyone since second grade so it was still hard coming back to Dexter,” Cooper said. “Everyone was so different and changed. It was difficult at first but it was no biggie.”

Like McGriff, Cooper said he met a lot of new people through football.

“Football was a great opportunity for me to meet new people and make new friends,” he said.

And while Cooper said he does miss his old school and his friends he likes Dexter more.

“Everyone is different in Dexter,” he said. “People are more down-to-earth and chill. At my old school everyone was very wealthy and uptight. Everyone is relaxed here and I like that.”

-whi le at GRADUAT ION-1. Graduate. This kind of goes without saying, but every year some kids forget they have to pass their classes to graduate. This year don’t be part of the proud few. Pass all your classes.

2. Make sure your gown fi ts. Nothing says, “I’m ready to go out into the world and make my mark,” like a gown that is fi ve sizes too small.

3. Smile when you receive your diploma. You don’t want to have to look back at a picture of you looking pissed off while you receive your diploma. You’re done with high school. You should be happy. So smile.

4. Go to college. Unless you plan to pursue a career in burger fl ipping, college is a necessity. Whether it be a community college or an Ivy League institution, college has become a must for graduating seniors.

5. Throw a graduation party. Even if graduation isn’t a big deal for you, throwing a party for the occasion is a great way to rake in the dough. Call every obscure relative you can and invite them. The more the merrier.

1. Forget to show up. After the last 13 years of education and the countless hours you have spent in school, what’s another two hours? Make your parents happy and show to the cer-emony. You might even want to shower beforehand.

2. Trip on the stage. Pretend to be coordinated and don’t end up being the one kid who trips on stage while receiving their diploma.

3. Allow your parents or friends to bring an air-horn or other obnoxious, noise making device. They aren’t cool or funny. They wont make up for the fact you graduated with the lowest pos-sible number of credits

4. Put something stupid on your cap. Whether it be lights or an oversized sticker, chances are when you look back at it years from, you will probably regret it.

5. Show up drunk. If you do this, you most likely have a problem with alcohol. Chances are as you vomit on stage, you will deeply regret drinking beforehand.
