EDITOR IN CHIEF Grandma Georgina : “You smell like peanuts. I love peanuts.” Willy Wonka : “Oh, thank you. You smell like... old people. And soap. I like it.” - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 2005 I also love peanuts. In fact, I made a timelapse of me stirring peanut butter for National Peanut Butter Day, which was celebrated on January 24th. I think whoever came up with the idea of national daily holidays knew that everyday people need something to look forward to, either that or fall into the pits of the American 9-5 monotony. We are in the wonderful month of April, which includes most notable holidays like April Fools, Easter, Passover, and um, another thing that Utah doesn’t really celebrate that is on the twentieth. If you find yourself ready to drop out, that's understandable. Though, maybe knowing these little holidays are coming up will give you some extra motivation. The day this article is being published, April 15th, we have some winners needing recognition. We have National That Sucks Day and fittingly Tax Day all in the same 24 hours! Some food holidays include National Crawfish, Banana, and Cheese Ball day on the 17th. Also, National Glazed Spiral Ham Day is today! Even National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day on the 20th, if you're still living in the Great Depression. Days that celebrate our domestication of animals include Pet Owners Independence Day on April 18th, National Cat Lady Day and National Dog Parent Appreciation Day for all the people who have obnoxious bumper stickers that say things like “Who saved who?” and so forth, and National Tabby Day. “My favorite national holiday is Denim Day because of the meaning behind it.” comments Emily Munoz, a CCHS junior. The meaning behind this day is to raise awareness about sexual assault and takes place on the last Wednesday of April, which this year is the 30th. “Rat day.” said plainly by CCHS junior Talmage Watson. There are plenty more upcoming holidays this month to suit your fancy, but some honorary mentions are National Pet CBD Day on the 21st, Save the Frogs Day on the 27th, National Cubicle Day on the 27th (I can hear the corporate raves already!), and Viral Video Day on the 29th. Don’t forget, Humorous Day and National Oklahoma City Bombing Commemoration Day are both on the 19th! So, if you’re feeling glad, mad, sad, chad, whatever, just know that everyday has a wonderful surprise for you to celebrate, and not only in April. I don’t know about you, but I’ll certainly be celebrating a few. POSTED 4/15/24 Student Body ElectionsBY LILY HERSCH
EDITOR IN CHIEF “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” - John Quincy Adams This is what I’m sure every student thought to themselves as they scanned the QR code to vote for a student that they were won over with through candy, popularity, or the funniest propaganda. To the students who didn't vote: “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.” - Dante Alighieri; think about that. If you haven’t already guessed, student body officer and class president elections happened only these past few weeks! Students were able to vote for students to represent them the following year. It was a tight competition: many a tootsie rolls, QR codes, and posters can still be seen scattered throughout the halls, like a post-apocalyptic blue and white fever dream. SBO elections officially began Tuesday, March 12th, and ended Tuesday, March 19th. Students received emails prompting them to vote, as well as candidates having booths during lunch periods. “The student elections this year, my first time running, were very fun. A lot of socializing, too much even for me. They were also a wee bit stressful, not because of the competition but because of the preparation. I really do wish everyone could win, like every candidate put in a lot of effort.” - says Zoë Soucy, who ran for future Junior Class Officer. Some honorable mentions of most distinct displays include a banana costume, a hotdog costume, Barbie themes for not one but TWO candidates, and a Mountain Dew theme. It is clear that these elections were based on the most prestigious campaigns and promises for our school, not humor or charisma. “I thought the whole process was a lot of fun! I got to talk to people that I wouldn’t normally talk to and be apart of fun activities! All in all I’m just happy I was apart of it and am so grateful for the student body at Corner Canyon! It’s gonna be a blast next year!” comments future Senior Class Officer Brayden Belote about his experience running. There were many great candidates, but alas, only a few can be chosen to represent Corner Canyon. If you ran and didn’t win, don't be too disappointed; you just need to step up your game next year. Some ideas include a mariachi band, free Nikes, Swig and Chick-fil-A gift cards, and more to perhaps attract a few more voters. All jokes aside, congratulations to our new student body officers and presidents for their hard work and academic involvement! CCHS is excited for the new benefits and ideas they will all bring to our school. Just a thought…if any could increase our student engagement with the CCC, I will personally engrave a golden brick with their name to place in the wall of the newspaper room. POSTED 3/27 |
