Students busy showing pride for their community screen monitors and stuff to allow people to view the information," Green 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 three have been writing stories and tak- ing pictures of different events around by Jake Osterhout FEATURES EDITOR 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.

The articles from Lone Tree are by Jake Osterhout FEATURES EDITOR 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," Sopho- more Nick Petsel 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." -- Junior Melissa Loan "To learn to not talk in class until called upon," -- Senior Jacob Mills The Lone Tree Lion's Pride Staff News Editor. ..........................
