HOMECOMING SPIRIT WEEK IS A BIG HIT
BY NAIAH SIRRINE STUDENT LIFE CO-EDITOR Homecoming at Corner Canyon was nothing short of insane! CC students really showed up, filling the entire gym! Just as they showed their spirit during the dance, the week prior was no different. Spirit week this year definitely topped many prior years. Each day had a different theme with so many students showing up in amazing fits to match! Monday was monochromatic, and a perfect way to start the week. Lily Afualo stated, “I love CC!! Spirit week is always so much fun!” Tuesday continued on with Twin Tuesday. This was a perfect opportunity to match with either your date or your friend! The fashion was immaculate. Many people took it to the max by dressing in matching onesies, while others had matching swim hoodies instead. Western Wednesday kicked things up with kids wearing cowboy hats and overalls. “I love dressing up! It just makes it so much fun when we all do it together.” Ruby recalled, in her cowgirl boots and howdy shirt. Thursday was an absolute favorite and a repeat of last year, Adam Sandler Day. Everyone came to school wearing oversized shorts and shirts, with sunglasses to match. “I think this is the biggest turnout of people dressing up i’ve ever seen!” Brandon said. The school spirit here is clearly |
Homecoming Nominees
King: Nick Gordon Daniel Su Ronan Spencer Cael Crosby Josh Townsend Owen Borg Queen: Ava Christensen Sammie Harkness Lauren Easton Katie Kessler Kenna Pupunu Isabella Salazar unmatched. Friday ended the week with our new spirit shirts. Corner Canyon is clearly stronger than ever. The dance itself was so fun for everyone who showed up. There was plenty of moshing, so many beautiful dresses, and a night that ended in the iconic chant “you wish you were a charger!!!!”
The 10th birthday of this school was well celebrated. This homecoming was such a fun start to the year, and there are so many other wonderful experiences to come! In fact, girls are already asking to the next dance, a whopping two months away! POSTED 9/15/22 |
Shop for Machining 15-inch Shells by Anna Airy commissioned WW1 art, 1918 of the Singer Manufacturing Company in Glasgow, Scotland.
Your Shell
By Spencer Harston ('23) In video games, movies, other media It seems like ammo is infinite. Maybe you’ll run out of reloads, but there’s always more back at the base. And if there isn’t, there’s always more on the way. On the way from a factory, thousands of miles away, where civilian workers sit and assemble thousands of little bullets every day. It’s not very personal. The sheer amount of output makes the task lose all meaning. Each bullet is just another metal pebble in a sea of ammunition. But not everyone is making .303 caliber rounds. There are bigger bullets. Maybe you work in the machine shop, building 15-inch shells. Each shell is massive, wider than your head, and as you toil and labor away, You have to wonder What will your shell accomplish? Maybe they’ll send it to a Howitzer on a beach Or maybe to a friendly battleship. Either way, your shell has one purpose: To destroy ships. If all goes well, your shell will be launched at an enemy ship, It will fly straight and true And it will explode Blasting a hole through their ship and killing dozens of humans. Potentially hundreds, if yours is that the shot that sinks their ship. Or maybe A measurement will be wrong The wind will be off And your shell will fly clear of the enemy ship To splash harmlessly into the water And sink to the bottom of the ocean.A |

Homecoming Assembly IGNITES SPIRIT
|
BY RUBY WINGET STUDENT LIFE CO-EDITOR
One of the best parts of Homecoming week is the assembly. On Tuesday September 13th Corner Canyon had the treat of getting to see our performing arts groups display their talents and also got to learn a little more about the Homecoming court nominees. To start off our assembly, the CCHS Chamber choir sang the National anthem. As always, they did an amazing job. Then the varsity dance company gave us an incredible performance that was full of life and energy. Following that, the CCHS cheer team took the stage. They did flips, stunts and cheers and got the whole crowd on their feet. Additionally, the student government representatives gave us a great fashion show and showed us how to dress up for the next spirit days. After all of these impeccable performances, the student body got to watch all the nominees videos and get to know them better. First up was Cael Crosby and Sammie Harkness. They vogued and danced their ways right into the student bodies hearts. Second, we had the opportunity to get to know Owen Borg and Katie Kessler. While their toothbrushes may be boring, their clip sure wasn't. It had all the action of the best sports films packed into a whirlwind 60 seconds. Following them, Kenna Pupunu and Josh Townsend came to the big screen. Their gender flipped short had the whole crowd on the edge of their seats. After them, Lauren Easton and Nick Gordon took on the theme of getting picked up. Their video was full of action and laughs as they tried to steal the crowns from last year's Prom king and queen. Next, the crowd has the chance to see Ava Christensen and Ronan Spencer have a dinner date in a Keeping Up With The Kardashians-style interview. Finally, returning Prom king Danial Su and Isabella Sally Salazar got to show their video. This was a hilarious pair to say the least. After the student body voted via QR code, Avery Hansen sang the Homecoming theme song “Forever Young”. She did an amazing job of closing out the assembly with a bang. POSTED 9/19/2022 |

A: “My own goals this year are to get the score I want on the ACT and feel more organized so I’m not stressed over school work. I also want to not let little life things distract me from the bigger things. I want to say hi and be nice to everyone. I especially want to be myself.” Q: What other extracurricular activities do you participate in? A: “Within the school activities I play lacrosse for the High School team.” Q: What are some of your favorite activities as a student? A: “I love Wednesday activities that happen every week at lunch. I also love charity month and all the things we do in that month as a school. I love sporting events and all the people that show up to support them.” Q: What are your responsibilities as Student Body President? A: “I have a ton of responsibilities. I make sure that the school is all treated well and that student government runs smoothly. I talk with my teachers, advisors, and DJ about ideas and concerns. All the activities you see go on run through me. I make sure it all goes smoothly. I work with the office ladies and the librarians with posters and advertising. I do a lot of little things as well.” Q: What is your favorite part of your job? A: “I love my student government family and being able to talk to everyone. I love love LOVE my job!

I’m also a people person and love talking to people so I knew SBO would be for me. Q: How did you guys come up with this year’s theme? A: “We were trying to come up with something that matched with the 10-year anniversary that we hit this year at Corner Canyon. We debated for a long time over what theme to do. In the end, “Stronger than ever” really stuck because it’s basically the first year that covid isn’t an issue to deal with. It’s just something that for a good comeback this year.” Q: What do you want students to know about you? A: “I want them to know that I’m a hard worker and a good listener. I love listening to music and watching sports. I love shoes and laughing.” Q: What is your advice for other students? A: “Don’t take High School for granted. It’s something you can never do twice. Have fun with it and don’t be afraid to be yourself. Don’t hide because you are worried about what people think. Make sure to make someone smile every day!” Posted 9/19/2022 |

Cellphones in class?
 Do they really help?
BY KENADY PARKIN CHRONY STAFF WRITER Do cellphones in the classroom have a positive or negative affect? Studies show that students that split their attention in the classroom by texting, checking social media, or watching videos perform worse than students who don't split their attention and focus only on what is being taught. Studies also show that allowing phones in the classroom harms the overall long-term learning retention of the students. According to a Rutgers University-New Brunswick study, the ease of finding information on the internet so easily is harming students ability to retain information long-term. Although, phones can be good, they can assist in better communication, keep people organized, allow easy execution of daily chores, ensure hassle -free travel, assist in emergencies, assist in academics and skill development. Phones are multi-functional and provide easy communication between family members, friends, and other students. They also provide useful information and applications for students. Phones can also be a good stress reliever to relax and take a break. Phones in the classroom are definitely a controversial subject. Teachers and students definitely have different opinions, but when it comes to different things they can be very helpful. When used in moderation and if you know when to use it and when to put it away they can be very helpful. When phones are used as tools instead of distractions they have the ability to help and further your learning and understanding of subjects that you are learning about. Phones can be helpful outside of the classroom also, when doing homework at home sometimes we forget how to do something or what we are supposed to be doing, having the ability to look up a video tutorial or look up how to do something can help us in the completion of homework and learning. Overall, phones are very convenient to have, only when used responsibly. POSTED 9/26/22 |
SURVEY SAYS...
Q: Do you think that phones are beneficial or harmful to you personally in the classroom? A: “Beneficial, because if you get bored you can look at it, or if you don't understand something you can look it up instead of interrupting the teacher ” -Tristan Lee A: “Beneficial, because i can text my friends and use photo math to help me understand or play crazy 8’s with my friends” -Gretel Kinnersley A: "Detrimental! No teacher can compete with cat videos, sports clips, selfies, and texts...I have a "cell phone day care" for phones so that students can focus on the lessons and interact face-to-face with each other." -Mrs. Bown
