said.
It will be located in Boone, Iowa,
and it will be dedicated to-the commu-
nities around the state that have taken
part in the project.
It will display all of the different
things that the communities have been
reporting on.
Pictures will be displayed and ar-
ticles to tell a story about the town and
school will accompany them. It will
pretty much be a museum to showcase
schools and communities throughout
Iowa.
"I have really enjoyed working on
the project and I have learned a lot
about our community by doing it," Se-
nior Ryan Pearson said.
Three students from our school,
Seniors Ryan Pearson, Alex Petsel, and
James Green have reporting on Lone
Tree and its events.
The group is led by Laura Wolfe.
Since the beginning of the year these

Undoubtedly many have heard
talk about the Hall of Pride either in
the hall or by the many announcements
that have been given to the students
that are involved with it.
Many find themselves wondering
what the Hall of Pride is in the first
place. The Hall of Pride is actually a
website dedicated to publicize differ-
ent communities and show pride in
them.
"I had never even heard of the
Hall of Pride until I started to work on
it," Senior James Green said.
The Hall of Pride is an organiza-
tion with a purpose to show pride for
the different communities around the
state.
Right now the Hall of Pride is only
a website but there are plans for the
future to build a building specifically
for the Hail of Pride. The program has
only been going for about a year or
tWO.
"I am pretty sure that there is go-
ing to be a huge building with touch
Lone Tree that are some that are some-
what unique to Lone Tree.
"I contribute brilliant articles and
masterful photography for the better-
ment of the website," Senior Alex
Petsel said.
They write about Lone Tree's his-
tory, student events, notable people,
and notable places around the town.
Such things that have been written
about are the Movie Night because it
is a unique thing that not many schools
or communities around that state do.
As most people know the Movie
Night is a night once a month when
the school is open to anyone from the
community and they cone come to the
school cafeteria and view a movie for
free. Different movies are shown to
coincide with a holiday that is near or
. for the time of year.
The Movie Night is sponsored by
the Lone Tree High School National
Honor Society and Student Senate.
Everyone around the state is able
to view all of the articles about Lone
Tree'. There are ai'ound 120 other
schools around the state that are tak-

Once again New Year's has come
and gone with the blink of an eye
Among the students at the Lone Tree
:High School hardly any of them had a
New Year's resolution when first
asked.
They came up with a resolution
when put on the spot.
"My New Year's resolution is to
be able to make up my mind quickly,"
Freshman Molly Weiland said.
Every year people make a big deal
about how with the new year comes a
fresh start and make themselves a New
Year's resolution.
They promise that in the new year
they will achieve the goal that they set
for themselves in the new year.
For the mosl part they are just
small things that they can change to
make themselves better or things that
they should stop doing because they
are wrong.
"I've never really thought about
it. I guess resolutions are good but I've
never really had a resolution," Fresh-
man Brittney Donlin said.
Among adults some to the most
popular things are to stop smoking or
to lose weight and year after year they
promise the same things but year after
year the things that they say they will
change never seem to change.
"Adults always make resolutions
to change their health and a lot of the
time they never complete the resolu-
tions," science teacher Matt Stier said.
For adults these goals are usually
more realistic and a little more seri-
ous.
They usually have the determina-
tion to do what they say they will do,
for the most part.
"Parents are always really serious
about their resolutions and they make
a big deal about doing what they want
to do," Junior Katie Woodiwiss said.
Students on the other hand are a
little bit more care free and don't care
about a whole lot of things that are re-
ally serious.
They figure that they are young
and have plenty of time to do those
things
when they
are older.
don't re-
ally care
about reso-
lutions.
I'm young.
I'm not
supposed
to worry
about
things like
that,"

said.
When
asked a
large ma-
jority of
the Lone
Tree High
School
students t
said that
they did not have one or were still
thinking about something that they
should do.
About 20 out of the 25 students
that were asked what their resolution
was, they replied by asking others what
they thought that they should do for a
resolution.
For the most part the resolutions
of the students had to do with matters
that were more wants and things that
would be cool to do or to have.
Most students had prepared a reso-
lution ahead of time.
"I want to be helpful to my morn
and to have my priorities on school,
athletics, and my family & friends,"
Freshman Chelsee Chamberlain said.
New Year's resolutions may be a
big deal to some, but to the popula-
tion of Lone Tree High School, stu-
dents would rather put their thought
into other matters that are more impor-
tant to a teen and the teen life.
"My New Year's resolution is to
get my homework done," Senior Joe
Hotka said.
"To get a job so I can
stop stealing money
from my parents."

"To learn to not talk in
class until called
upon,"
