High school sees change in staff By Anthony Carrillo
Shark Scene Staff Writer
As the 2017-18 school year approached, St. Lou-is High School made a few staff changes. In the office, Mr. Koczenasz moved to the middle school over the summer, after working in the high school for the past 2016-17 school year.
Adding to that, Mrs. March came from working in the middle school of-
fice, to the high school’s. She then commented on the transition from middle school to high school say-ing, “I don’t have to help people with their lockers, and I also get to order lunches for students. The similar things are that the staff makes me feel wel-come and at home.”
Mr. Miller, who graduat-ed from St. Louis High School in 2008, is teach-ing Study Skills, Lan-
guage Arts, and helping with Mr. Morey’s first hour Algebra class.
He said, "After being away for almost ten years, having the chance to come back to SLHS has remind-ed how awesome it is to be a Shark.”
Mr. Maxwell, also known as Coach Maxwell, joined the high staff to help kids with guidance through the school year.

Frankenmuth course proves tough
XC with strong showing in
first TVC race in Saginaw By Brittney Roberson
Sharks Scene Staff Writer
Both cross country teams competed in their first TVC race Sept. 12, at Imerman park in Sagi-naw. The guys finished second right behind Itha-ca. Coming in fourth for the boys was Cologio Alighire with a time 18:22 with Austyn Rhines fin-ishing sixth at 18:31.
Jeffery Blackwell came in eighth with a time of 18:43. According to Alighire, “I felt I ran very well for the amount of competition. There was-n’t very many teams so there wasn’t anyone to run with.”
On the girls side, they finished fourth against six teams. Brooklyn Filipiak finished fourth at 22:32,
Zoe Dickman came ran a 24:20 finishing 14th and Brittney Roberson fin-ished 17th with a time of 24:37. The weather was humid and hotter than last week so runners struggled with the weather change. Cameron Murphy said, “It was so hot, I passed out. Other than that though, the meet went very well.”

The St. Louis cross country team ran a hot meet on Friday, Sep. 15, at the MSU Spartan Invi-tational in Lansing. The Sharks ran in the Division three and four races at the competition. The boys’ and girls’ Varsity teams and boys’ JV team ran, but there was no girls’ JV team at this meet. The boys’ Varsity took 11th place out of 35 teams, while the girls’ Varsity placed 25th out of 34. Taryn Mroczek said, “It was a really hot day and I think that really took a toll on all of us.”
The Sharks’ top Varsity boy was Cologio Alighire, who dominated the course despite the heat, and ran a time of 18:08.0 while tak-ing 33rd place. Next was Austyn Rhines (18:14.4)
in 37th place and Dakota Courter (19:12.9) in 78th.
The Varsity girls also ran well this meet. Brook-lyn Filipak came to com-pete with a time of 22:21.9, being fast enough to earn her 38th place. Next was Zoe Dickman (24:34.1) in 108th and Brittney Roberson (24:54.6), who came in at 119th place. The JV boys took 38th place out of 44 teams in their race. Their first runner was Austin Aldrich (22:21.5), who placed 300th, and the sec-ond runner, Alex Davis (22:22.2), was less than a second behind Austin and took 302nd place. Junior Joe Nash stated, “I think we ran pretty well for be-ing one of hundreds of schools there.” St. Louis will be back in action at the Al Kayner Delta Invi-tational Saturday, Sept. 23.

St. Louis girls golf competed in the Patriot Cup in Frankenmuth Sept. 11, 2017, and a TVC Jambo-ree Sept. 13, 2017. In Frankenmuth Monday, they took 12th out of 20 teams.
Leading the squad was Modestie Hitchcock with a 96 on 18 holes. The following Wednesday, the La-dy Sharks competed at the TVC Jamboree in Valley Lutheran fin-ishing 2nd.
The top golfers at the meet were Hitchcock and Allison Taipalus ty-ing for third with a 50, a 48 for Olivia Anderson, and Alexis Beeson shot a personal best of 43.
The team scored a 191 putting the girls 20 strokes behind shepherd.
Starr Hansen said, “Do I feel con-fident about winning the TVC con-ference? No, not after this week. As a team we haven't been taking things seriously and we are plenty of strokes behind Shepherd. With hardly any TVC outings left, it will be very hard to catch back up to them. Otherwise, I am 100% confi-dent that we are going to make it to state this year and my teammates feel the same way. We have been working hard and that has been our number one goal this season.”

The JV volleyball team play against Pinconning Sept. 13, in Pinconning. The Sharks lost both games 18-25 and 21-25. “We didn’t use much communication so we did-n’t play as good as we should” says Alexandra Pawlitz.
“I look forward to the tournament Saturday. Hopefully, we will im-prove,” says Chloe O’boyle.
“I believe that we played our hardest last weekend but in the end we lost. We are proud of what we ac-
complished,” said Natalia Garza
The JV volleyball team also played in an Alma invitational Sept. 16, in Alma. The team finished third losing the semi finals “I was surprised when we won against the number one team and we played great,” says Jenny Brown.
“ We played rough but now we know to try hard-er next time” said Kassi-dy Acker.
The team showed great improvement and the team will be back in action Wednesday at Saint Louis high school.

Varsity Sharks triumph over Dawgs
JV Sharks go beast mode on STC By Jake Davis
Sharks Scene Staff Writer
The JV football team
took on the Bulldawgs
from St. Charles Thurs-
day, Sept. 14. Improve-
ments had to be made
from last week as they
took a devastating loss to
Ithaca. The first quarter
was back and forth with
the Sharks and Dawgs ex-
changing punts. During
the second quarter, the
Sharks put the first points
on the board but couldn’t
contain on the kickoff and
allowed St. Charles to run
it back for a touchdown.
After that, St. Charles
couldn’t stop the JV of-
fense as they dominated
for the rest of the game
and only allowed touch-
downs on deep passes,
which kept the Dawgs in
the game. The final score
of the game was 53-30.
Jordan Lowe said, “It was
nice playing together as a
team again after our loss
to Ithaca. We played for
each other which allowed
us to put up a lot of points
on the board.”
Trae Garcia agreed with
Lowe, saying, “After they
scored on us, we wouldn’t
put our heads down. We
lifted each other back up
and did everything we
could to answer back on
offense.” Garcia was the
offensive star of the game,
rushing for over 100 yards
with a handful of touch-
downs. The JV team will
continue this road stretch
for another week, playing
Thursday at Michigan Lu-
theran Seminary.

The Saint Louis Varsity football team was back in action this past Friday at Wheeler Field as they took on the Bulldawgs of Saint Charles.
The bad blood that flows between these two teams has turned this game into somewhat of a rivalry in the past few years. It surely showed Friday as both teams battled for the rights to the red and black colors.
The Sharks struck first with Sen-ior Running Back Dylan Weller plunging into the end zone to cap off a 63 yard drive. However, the Bulldawg offense responded early in the second quarter with a seven-yard touchdown pass to bring the game within a point.
Senior Dylan Weller would come through again for the Sharks later in the second quarter with a one yard touchdown run to give the Sharks a 14-6 lead. Saint Charles was able to find the end zone once again, this
time on a trick play, to even up the score at 14-14 just before half time.
The Saint Louis defense was in lockdown from this point on as Saint Charles would fail to see the red zone again. The struggling Shark offense managed to produce a six-yard touchdown run by Junior Marcus Long late in the third quar-ter. This would turn out to be the
score that iced the game as Saint Louis went on to win 21-14.
The defensive play of Saint Louis was a major factor in this win. The Sharks were able to force three turnovers including two fum-bles and one interception.
Senior Jake Davis was credited with one fumble recovery and the one interception along with 8 total tackles. Senior Jayce Kuehnlein lead the team with 14 tackles and one sack. When asked what his thoughts were on his dominant de-fensive play he responded by say-ing, “I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.” He credits this to the defensive scheme that the coaches had set up for the game.
On the offensive side of the ball, Senior Dylan Weller had 113 rush-ing yards and two touchdowns.
The Varsity Football team plays again this Friday at Wheeler Field versus Michigan Lutheran Semi-nary at 7:00.

SLHS homecoming
By Cologio Alighire
Shark Scene Staff Writer
Spirit week is a Monday to Friday event that many of our high school stu-dents participate, and dress up in an array differ-ent wacky outfits each day. For example, last
year's spirit week fea-tured: 70s day, jocks vs nerds, superhero day, camouflage vs fake an in-jury, and the signature black and red Friday. A large majority of students and faculty enjoy this week of lighthearted fes-
tivities, such as science teacher Mrs. Dubridge, who says, “I think spirit week is awesome, and I always participate.”
Senior Dakota Courter said, “Normally I don't participate because I have
no interest in the outfits and dressing up. Black and red Friday is an ex-ception. ” I too only par-ticipate in black and red day and believe that showing school pride, es-pecially at a time such as homecoming, is im-portant. I’d prefer to do without the needless addi-tional and unnecessary days that come with it. I feel as though those are simply a waste of time and should not be en-dorsed by the school. That being said, if the student body wishes to participate in a “dress up day” they should absolutely be al-lowed just not be mandat-ed by the school.
Which is the best product?
By Joseph Smith
Shark Scene Staff Writer
There’s the age old question of is Apple or Android better? I have an Apple device, so in my opinion I prefer Apple because it’s more sim-plistic to use.
It also has top of the line technol-ogy, which makes the phone very fast. Additionally, it’s easy to trans-fer data from one phone to the other with the cloud so there is little has-sle photos, videos, etc.
Senior Dylan McCloskey says, “ I
feel as if I used Android when I was 13, and that Apple is the father to Android and is better in all ways.”
I strongly agree with this state-ment because Apple does feel like it’s the superior brand, and is better in all ways. But, senior Wyatt Koutz Says, “I prefer Android be-cause it was my first phone, and I have just stuck with it since.” All Android supporters just don’t un-derstand the greatness of Apple, and that is why they support An-droid.

2016 was filled with some appalling, yet funny, makeup trends, and 2017 is looking just as promis-ing. In previous years, the beauty industry definitely has had lots of hits and misses when it comes to trends. According to SLHS freshman, Macie Salladay, “I think trends are great for people to ex-press themselves, but it's still good to be original,”.
How does something become a trend though? Most trends are started on
social media, but one that really stands out was the “100 layer” trend of 2016. This trend started in June of 2016 by Youtuber Cris-tian Rotenberg, of Simply Nailogical, when she painted 116 layers of nail polish onto her nails that she named “Polish moun-tain.” It was a 12-hour process that many people would like to call point-less, but she ended up making millions on it. The trend went viral. Everyone wanted to see what they could cover themselves with 100 lay-ers of. “ I think it's a waste of time,” says freshman
Ethan Wilson.
Whether it was pointless or not, it's definitely something that will be re-membered in years to come. The crazy trend of 2017 so far is the “feathered eyebrow.” It’s accomplished by applying glue or some other kind of hair gel to your eyebrows, then taking an eyebrow brush and spreading the hairs out.
No one really knows how this trend started, but people seeing it through the public eye aren't really into it. It is easily the most hated trend of 2017.

Men’s fashion vs. women’s fashion
By Jayce Kuehnlein
Shark Scene Staff Writer
Students accessorize themselves daily here at SLHS to help tie their out-fits together. Recently the new fashion fad is wear-ing chokers. A choker is a necklace that is form fit-ting to the neck. It is a new fashion sense that can tie together any outfit.
When asked on her opinion of chokers, SLHS senior, Alayna Corder said, “I think they’re su-per cute and stylish. They’re actually really comfortable to wear and
feel like any other type of accessory.”
Guys, on the other hand, do not often wear chokers, since it is a little bit more on the feminine side.
There are guys in the high school who wear gold chains which is, in a sense, the male substitute of the choker. Gold chains have been a men's fashion item for ages, but chains come in all kinds of dif-ferent shapes and sizes.
When asked about his chain, senior, Dylan McCloskey said, “My chain was a gift to me from my deceased great
grandma, and it has senti-mental value.”
Chains are a growing item in men’s fashion, because they go with any outfit. They are most commonly seen around the necks of music artists and also baseball players. However, chains are not limited to them. Chains can be seen being worn around our school and others.
Men’s and women’s fashion have many differ-ences. However, there are some similarities amongst them, and neck attire is just one of them.

From Finland: Oliver Koskela By Faith Best
Shark Scene Staff Writer
Oliver is from Vantaa, Finland; he
is staying with the Oswald’s. When
asked about the difference between
the school back home and SLHS he
said that our school is a lot smaller
than the one in Finland, and there
are at least 1200+ students there.
When inquired about what is the
weirdest thing that he has experi-
enced while he has been here, he
replied that there has not been any.
His favorite American food is hot
dogs. He said that they do have hot
dogs in Finland, but the ones in
America are much better. He does
not have a favorite subject because
he likes them all.
When inquired about what his
initial thoughts were about coming
to SLHS were he thought that the
school would be quieter then in his
other school and that he has learned
to live surrounded by noise.
When asked about what he misses
the most about home he said that it
was his bike because he loves to
cycle. His hobbies include cycling,
calisthenics, which is bodyweight
training. He is currently a member
of the football team here.

What he misses most
about home is the food,
specifically he misses
sushi. One of his hobbies
and a favored sport that
he partakes in baseball;
he really enjoys hitting
the ball. He said that the
weirdest thing in Michi-
gan is the communica-

not talk to the people
around them but in the
U.S. they do it all the
time. He also thinks that
the culture here is really
interesting and is excited

Leo Bodin from St. Jorioz, France By Holli Rivard
Shark Scene Editor
Leo is from St. Jorioz, France, and he is staying with the Pierce family. We asked him what he missed most about back home and he said that he misses his family the most out of everything that he left behind him.
For Leo, his initial thought on coming here to go to school as an ex-change was that he was very excited. Coming to a foreign place with not having many friends can
be a difficult thing to do, so he was hoping people would be welcoming.
The first people that he met when he got here was, obviously, his host family, and then their family friends.
We asked him what he found most different about France and America and he told us that back home in France, he and his fami-ly eat dinner in a very for-mal setting and here, he finds it very different, be-cause you just “take some-thing from the fridge.”
Leo’s favorite American food is a burger and he also informed us that his favorite sport is basket-ball.
One place that he wants to visit while he is in America is New York. We wanted to know what are some of them things that he does for fun and he said that he enjoys playing basketball, playing the guitar, and skiing.
There’s so much more to know about Leo than these basic facts, so go say hello and make him feel welcomed!

Saga is from Stock-
holm, Sweden and she is
living with the Hansen
family while she is here.
We asked her what her
initial thought was on
coming to America to be
an exchange student and
she told us how excited
she was.
We asked Saga what
one of the weirdest things
about America was and
she responded with, “The
weirdest thing about
America, in my opinion,
is the free refills on drinks
at restaurants.” I guess
that we, as Americans
don’t realize what all we
have and don’t have to
pay extra for. Speaking
of restaurants, Saga’s fa-
vorite American food is a
burger. We asked her
what her favorite sport
was and she said that she
enjoys playing soccer on
her free time. One thing
that she is really looking
forward to while she is
her is Halloween. She
says that
Halloween is her favorite
holiday.
Although she is very
excited for the school year
here, she misses her
friends and family back
home, as anyone would. It
can’t be easy to to put
everything on pause back
home and start a journey
in a completely different
country where you know
nobody.
The place that she wants
to go to the most while
she is in America is Ha-
waii.
She informed us that
she would rather go to the
mountains than the beach
any day. As previously
stated, coming to a coun-
try you’ve never been to
before must be hard, so it
would be nice to have a
friend. She told us that the
first person that intro-
duced herself to Saga,
other than her host family,
was Kaja, another one of
SLHS foreign exchange
students.
Overall, there is a lot to
know about Saga. If you
find that you would like
to get to know her more,
go introduce yourself to

Song becomes hit overnight By Terri Heyder
Shark Scene Staff Writer
Taylor Swift’s new song “Look
what you made me do” is becoming
more and more popular. According
to a Clarisse Loughrey report, “This
new song has just broke YouTube
records. The views have reached
nearly 73 million in only three
days. The song has been streamed
23 million times!”
What captures even more atten-
tion is that it has been downloaded
245,900 times in only three days.
The song has a lot more beat and
excitement added, which in return,
gets people moving to it. Though
the words may seem more morbid
than expected for pop radio sta-
tions, it’s not bad at all. Because of
many rumors and her changing her
genre, Swift has become less popu-
lar. This song has seemed to bring
her back into popularity. In the mu-
sic video, she has the multiple “old”
hers, and a new one of herself, they
represent her old self (ves) and
what people thought her to be, plus
what she depicted herself as in her
past music videos. A lot of students
at Saint Louis High School seem to
like it a lot even though most
claimed to not like her, or her mu-
sic. The background on this song is
rumored to be about many possible
issues and drama she encountered
during her music career, including
the feud with Kanye West, the dra-
ma with her ex boyfriend, and the
one dollar she won in a recent law-
suit against a DJ.

The Flash includes some tear inducing drama, heart-quickening action, mild comedy, science fiction, and romance. Throughout the show (which has now been renewed for a fourth sea-son), there is a series of heart wrenching twists and turns, with betrayal and new found love that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Flash also includes a few crossover episodes with other shows such as Super-girl, The Arrow, and Leg-ends of Tomorrow in which Barry and the Star Labs team join forces with former friends to defeat a greater foe that just one team can’t vanquish. Not only is the storyline impressive, but the CGI (Computer Generated Images) is quite impressive too. From simple running scenes to evil gorillas and black holes, the CGI re-
mains realistic and quite astonishing. Through it all The Flash is a action, drama filled rollercoaster of a show that you won’t be able to stay away from.

Majora’s Mask is one
of the many games of
the Legend of Zelda se-
ries.
The city of Termina is
endangered by the
dreaded skull kid, who
stole Majora’s mask, a
mask embedded with
dark and powerful mag-
ic.
The skull kid threat-
ened to send the moon
crashing into the earth.
The hero, Link, must
save Termina from total
annihilation.
With the help of vari-
ous masks you receive
along the way, Link
may save the world in
three days.
As you progress
through the game, you
earn various masks that
help you on your adven-
ture. The first mask you
earn is the Deku Scrub
mask. In this form, you
are able to skip on water
for a short time, shoot
bubbles, hide in Deku
flowers scattered
throughout Termina and
the areas surrounding it.
Later in the story, you
can earn other masks
similar to this with dif-
ferent abilities that are
helpful. With masks and
different songs you
learn along the way.
This adventure is one of
a kind.

SL Sharks love Cancun
By Isabel Larson
Shark Scene Staff Writer
Cancun is a Mexican grill restau-
rant that people visit to eat a nice
meal. There are many different lo-
cations in which there is a Cancun.
Some of these locations are
Okemos, St. Johns, Lansing, and
Alma, which is the closest. Cancun
opens at 11:00 am and closes at
10:00 pm.
Many people would say that Can-
cun has amazing service and that
the food is absolutely tasty! They
have many different yummy foods
to choose from, such as fajitas,
chimichangas, tacos, enchiladas,
burritos, and much more. Cologio
Alighire, who is a St. Louis student
and an employee at Cancun, says,
“Even though I am around the food
all the time due to work, it sure
does not get old because it is just so
good!” Cancun is so delicious that
they are always very busy, and it’s
always a packed restaurant full of
those who love Cancun food.
Though a lot of people love the
dishes, they are not a huge fan re-
garding the prices. Most would say
that Cancun is kind of on the pricey
side. The dinner meals are on the
pricey side, but the lunch menu is
not too expensive. Overall, Cancun
is a great place to eat if you want
some tasty food!

lunch.
The Blue Shamrock
serves many different en-

you obviously have to be
21 or older to purchase
them. The restaurant pro-
vides a great environment;

asked about their opinion

like The Blue Shamrock.
