THE End of the year IS HERE!

BY SAM LLOYD
MIND AND BODY EDITOR
  After all that’s gone on this school year, can you believe that it’s all coming to an end. With roughly 5 weeks to go most students can’t wait for it to be over. Yet, there's still so much to do before we can be let out for the summer. We still have final testing, prom, sports games and so much more. With all of this stuff that we still have got to do in such little time it can be a little hard to not get stressed. This is especially true when we take final testing and state testing into consideration. The most stressful tests of the year where you are tested to see just how much you’ve learned throughout the school year. These tests have the ability to make or break your grade if you haven’t been doing very well. One student who wished to remain anonymous said, “I hate final tests. They’re so stressful and I feel like I'm gonna forget everything.” It’s not just the students who are stressed and wish the year to be over. Teachers are also wishing for the year to end. The end of the year means that teachers have to grade much more for students who are desperate to turn in their late work. 

One teacher commented that grades tend to pile up as we get closer to the end of the year. Grades aren’t everything though, with prom coming up many people are more concerned about whether or not they would be going. The last dance of the year and for the seniors, the last dance of their high school experience. Speaking of seniors, the end of the year means graduation and moving on to college and/or moving on with their lives. One senior said, “Yeah, the next step is college and it’s gonna be really different.” It’s a big step moving on from the simplicity of high school and being under the care of your parents. Going out on your own is hard for a lot of people. Yet it’s a part of life and for those of us who won’t be graduating we get to enjoy our summer and do another year.

​Morp is almost here!

BY VEE WITZEL
HEADLINE NEWS EDITOR
Only one more week until the next dance: Morp! The opposite of prom, this dance is meant to be anything but formal. It’s also girls ask, instead of boys ask like prom is. This year, the theme for morp is glow-in-the-dark, though one student body officer who is helping to plan the dance said that many people are interpreting it as ¨rave¨ themed. Either way works and will look good with the black lights!
    One popular trend for this dance is to go shopping at Savers or another thrift store and, with your date or with friends, to buy outfits for each other. While this is popular every year for the morp dance, it would be an especially fun challenge to find good-looking neon clothes. This could be a fun activity to do during the week (I happen to know that Savers specifically restocks their supplies every Monday, so Tuesday could be the way to go if you want to get the cream of the crop) or even as your day activity on the day of the dance, which is on Saturday of next week.
    Students especially like the fact that morp is a non-formal dance. All non-formal dances seem to be popular among those who don’t like the stress, expectations, and cost of the more fancy dances, but morp is the most popular of them all because it exists solely to be a casual dance. Daniela Fisk, sophomore, says that she’s ¨really excited for morp because it’s not super formal so it’s something fun you can just go to with friends.¨ She also mentioned how nice it is that they don’t have to get reservations to a nicer restaurant if they don’t want to, and how convenient it is that tickets are cheaper.
    Don’t miss out on morp next weekend, because it’s the last casual dance we have all year. After this, underclassmen will only have prom left, and seniors will also have the senior dinner dance. This dance is seeming like it’ll be one for the books, so we’ll see you there chargers!

Virtual Learning: Love it or hate it?

BY SAM LLOYD
MIND AND BODY EDITOR
It lets them sleep in, stay home, not have to socialize with other students or teachers, they can eat what they enjoy and so many other things. Teachers seem to be enjoying it too. ​  When the pandemic started in 2020, would you have guessed that your life would drastically change? For students, the big one is how our school systems have been changed. For many students, the pandemic has caused school to close down, masks have been required and virtual learning has been instituted. That last one has been particularly controversial. 
​
POSTED 2/28

Some people believe that virtual learning is great. A lot of teachers and students alike would much rather be in school than online. They think that it is much more valuable to be in class and learn face to face rather than listening to someone from the other side of a screen.Seems like a dream doesn’t it? Many CCHS students think so. One sophomore here at CCHS, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I love it. I get all my work done in like an hour and then I get to go do other things all day.” It’s not just students that seem to love the new form of learning. One teacher we asked said that it helped them to get more work done especially in terms of grading. 
​Looks like people love virtual learning but not everyone’s got the same mindset. ​

 Some think that virtual learning isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Many students don’t even care if they have to learn online, they just miss the social factor of school. They miss their friends and being around people other than their family. It’s not just the social factor that gets students to hate virtual learning. Many students tend to have a much harder time focusing on their work when they’re in their own home. One anonymous student said, “When I’m at home the work I need to do tends to be a lot harder. I can’t focus and I get distracted and next thing I know, it’s Monday again” Many students seem to face this same problem but they are working to adapt to it. So, should we get rid of virtual learning and be in school all the time or should we keep virtual learning?

So you want to ask someone to the dance?

BY JANICA STOCKING
EDITORIALS EDITOR
  Asking someone to a dance can be an incredibly hard thing for some high schoolers to do. Even if you are asking out a friend, there can still be a certain amount of nervousness you feel. However, this is not a new discovery, people have been nervous about asking people to dances since dances were created. It takes a lot of bravery to ask someone. While most people are able to eventually overcome their fear of asking someone out, there are many people who struggle to do so or cannot overcome it (as a teenager). In a publication by the American Psychological Association, women were found to fear rejection more and be more sensitive to rejection than men. Several related studies have shown similar results. 
    Additionally, women are more likely to experience social anxiety or anthropophobia, which according to Healthline, is an uncontrollable fear of rejection.  Women are also more likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder than a man is.While there are more men than women in the world, the ratio worldwide is much more balanced than that of our school. At Corner Canyon, approximately 53% of students are males. ​

With only 47% of students being female, girls have fewer fish in the sea to choose from. With the compounding stressors that adolescence brings, along with mental health issues, and all sorts of other awkward situations teenagers find themselves in, girls are likely to feel a lot of stress and anxiety surrounding the basic act of asking someone to a dance. 
    The next school dance that’s coming up is the Sweethearts Dance. Despite all of the nerves and the circumstances, you should still go to Sweethearts. Dances are an opportunity to improve your social skills and overcome any fears of rejection that you may have. It is also an opportunity to have a fun night with your friends. There’s still time to go to Sweethearts, even if you end up just going with friends! Tickets are on sale at the office for $20 per couple. At the door, it’s $25 per couple or $15 per single person.

College Applications: this isn't the end

BY NATALIA HERRERA
STUDENT LIFE EDITOR
As we are approaching the new spring, many of our seniors are coming across the most exciting part about applying to college: getting to know if you got in or not and choosing which school to go to. As Creed Gardiner remarks “it’s simultaneously a very nerve wracking and exciting time, this is where your decisions count for reals and it’s easy to make the wrong choice.” Nevertheless, this process has been long and rigorous, so it’s more than appropriate to celebrate your success! This week I followed up with some of our very own seniors to better understand the application process, both the highs and lows.
  Many colleges follow the same sort of procedure, which includes having the applicant fill out forms of your personal information (such as your name, address and demographics). This seemed to be the least popular part of the application, compared to the personal essay segment, which was confirmed by Emma Bodell who especially hated filling in all of the forms. 

POSTED 2/6

 Grace Farnsworth says that this is because it gives the applicant an opportunity to talk about themselves and their passions. Being able to do so without seeming absorbed or boring because that’s the very purpose of the essay portion, to try to show colleges why they should choose you and what distinguishes you from the crowd. 
​  There are some essay prompts more interesting than others, such as the prompt Creed Gardiener was given to insert a series of images of things that appeal to him (which he choose to include Flintstones Gummies, a Lego Hogwarts house and the front cover of the novel Life of Pi by Yann Martel, as shown below).

In the end, the seemingly universal piece of advice our seniors have for underclassmen is to start preparing now, or at least as soon as possible.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES are slipping through your fingers!

Although the burden of college applications has passed for many of our seniors it is not over yet, as deadlines for scholarship opportunities are coming up. In case you haven’t come across these, here are some scholarships residents of Utah can apply for to help move forward on their chosen path:

• The JUMP$TART Coalition Financial Literacy Scholarship: This is a scholarship that is still available to apply to, the deadline being April 15th for their Winter 2022 scholarship. They partner with America First Credit Union, and offer as many as six scholarships, which award Utah's high school seniors as much as $1,250.
• Utah Jiffy Lube Teen Driver Scholarship: The deadline for this year is April 18th, which is coming up but there’s still time! The three finalists will be awarded $1,500. This is for Utah teens who either are currently enrolled in Driver’s Ed or have their permit/license.
  ​​  These are just two examples so don’t fret if none of these fit for you, but make sure to check in with your school of choice to see if they have any scholarships available/

Why You Might Want to Try Skiing

BY VEE WITZEL
HEADLINE NEWS EDITOR
​
    Winter break may be over, but ski and snowboard season sure isn’t. From Brighton to Snowbird, several Corner Canyon students have been spending a lot of time up in the canyons these last few weeks, even despite the terrible weather that we’ve been having. If you are an avid skier or snowboarder, you’ve probably witnessed the icy and slippery roads that get worse the further up you go, and the hours of traffic winding on every mile of the canyon every afternoon. That’s just how you know that us Utahns are dedicated to our mountain time. 
    Charger students are no exception to this rule. Whether you go every day or once a season, a lot of chargers use the mountains as a hobby. Some even go enough to have favorite paths or trails to ski on. Kate Cavin, senior, is one such student. She says, “I don’t get to go skiing a lot but my favorite resort is Brighton, followed by Alta. Pacific Highway is always a fun run to cruise down.”
    Liz Vance, senior, shares Kate’s love of Brighton and says that “I love skiing and have been doing it since I was 2. Brighton ski resort has been like my second home and I love every inch of it.” Brighton, on top of their more advanced runs and lifts, also happens to have a lot of courses that are great for beginners. If you haven’t ever been and you’d like to try, it might be just the place to start. Liz adds that, “When you are the only person in a powder field and it’s just quiet while you glide over the snow, it feels like flying, and it’s one of the best feelings in the whole world.” Who could pass up experiencing that, right?

Oh how the dating game has changed

BY VEE WITZEL
​HEADLINE NEWS EDITOR

​   “Would you like to go out on a date with me?” said the romantic main character that doesn’t exist anymore from an 80s movie. Our generation is very good at dating. But we are not very good at going on dates, nor are we as good at romantic gestures. So much of our relationships now happen online. Responding to stories on instagram, texting goodnight and goodmorning to each other, sending fun selfies on snapchat or fun videos on tiktok… And I’m not here to bash our generation for doing this. I think it’s amazing the relationships we’ve been able to cultivate so intimately in such a different way than any humans have ever done before. I am, however, advocating that we don’t do away with all of the in-person stuff entirely.

Kate Cavin, senior, has noticed the trend of no one going on dates as well, and posted a poll on her instagram story asking people if they'd like to go out on more dates. The answer was a resounding yes. “I posted this because I was frustrated with our generation’s dating culture...I figured this poll would be a good way to gauge if my peers felt the same way and would be a good way to take action to change our dating culture for the better,” says Kate.

It’s true that not many people go on dates now. When was the last time you were asked out on a date by someone you weren’t already in a relationship with? Mr. Hansen, who has very strong opinions on the dating culture of today, disagrees and says that “I don’t think dating in high school was EVER really a big thing. It’s in college where the dating has now stopped.”

Regardless, today the only casual dates people go on are for school dances. They go in a group of friends, or maybe with just their date, but it’s a lot of fun and people find activities and nice restaurants to visit. So why don’t we do that on any other days besides the dance? If we like someone or even if we’re just good friends and want to go out and do something fun, why DON’T we ask them out anymore? We know from Kate’s survey that people want to, it’s just become a little bit less socially accepted. So, as the wise Kate said, let’s change the culture for the better, and make dates socially accepted again.

What's In a Name

BY STEPHANIE GUZMAN-DE LA HOZ
​STAFF WRITER

 “It is through our names that we first place ourselves in the world. Our names, being the gift of others, must be made our own.” 

    ​What does our name mean and how does it make up our identity? How do we perceive our name? Is it just something that sticks with us no matter what? Do we even pay attention to it? I mean we hear it on a daily basis. First name here, first name there, what’s your first name. When we introduce ourselves the first thing we usually say is what our names are. So what do your names mean? How do they make up your identity? I asked a few people in our school what they think of their names!
    “Luke means light. And guess what my last name means! ‘Four stones’. That is so stupid! But I definitely try to see the light in life…. Sometimes,” Luke Featherston says.
​    “My first name is Emma, it means universal. And then my middle name Beverly means dweller at the beaver meadow. Johnson means son of John. That was disappointing. But I mean I'm very happy that it is universal. I just- what does ‘dweller at the beaver meadow mean?!” Emma Johnson questions. I guess it will be a mystery unsolved. 

---

    “Meleana means Mary who gave birth to Jesus or marrying someone-one of those. Tausala is my middle name, I don’t know if my grandma was making a joke or making fun of me but she said it means CHAIR! It’s such a pretty name but it means chair!! I like my name because it is unique!” Meleana Fager.
     “My name means valour and bravery. My middle name means happy. My last name means I am the descendant of a french sculptor. I changed my first name so I don’t think it really has a -meaning. I just changed it to make it more adrogenous. But -oh! My first name says it means ``free-loving individual!” Vee Witzel.
     And as for me, Stephanie means crown. My last name is so very long. But I love it, it has an imprint on people! So how does your name make you, you? Anna Hotvedt says “Well it just makes me feel me. Like I have something that’s just me. Like I’m Anna. Anna Kristina Hotvedt. That’s me! You hear that name and that’s ME!” And I think everyone can agree a name is part of who you are, it’s what completes you. So next time someone says who you are, just say your name. 
You learn something everyday.

senior sunRise

BY SOPHIE MADSEN
TRENDING EDITOR

     Ups and downs and turnarounds from our past senior sunrise. Now you may be thinking the downs are from the sad seniors graduating, but no. Senior Sunrise is known by every student in the nation. The event for the graduating seniors to go watch the sunrise with their class, but what is happening the night before? Many kids stay out all night with their friends and sleep on their school field. Which is exactly what most kids did on September 9th, the night before the beautiful moments with their graduating class. 

    Corner Canyon seniors snuck onto the field to hangout with their friends and sleep there. At first the night was fun, chill most of them would say. Everyone was talking, listening to music, playing games, laughing, and so much more. Many observations were made as kids stayed there.         
    Unfortunately we saw many kids under the      influence with weed and alcohol. This caused chaos and brought many students fear that their exciting night would come to an end with some many careless decisions. As the night went on, lots of them began to get bored. So here came the milk crates.
    ​The milk crate challenge is where you stack up milk crates and try to climb as far as you can. We had many students participate and one got hurt. The student has been reported to be okay, and got the cut treated. Many students began to leave because the night grew into a bore. 

    As many left, many came. The noise grew louder which then led to cops being called. Everyone was forced off the field and was forced to go home. Seniors came back later to watch the sunrise.
    With the night that they had all just experienced, they finally came together and felt the love all the way through. With many excited to see what this year had in store, the ending brought many together. The sadness still reigns over the night as it might have been the last sunrise for many years to come.
Till next time Chargers.
    As this is a learning experience for many, we are hoping that we will get to see the sunset at the end of the year. 

'Til Next Time Chargers

the next step in growing up

BY KAILENE MEINERS
​STUDENT LIFE EDITOR

I know you, yes you, want money.  High school entails driving, dancing, socializing with friends and all around gaining experiences, but how are you going to gain all that?  Money!  Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure can help, hence why many students around this age begin to search for a job.  High school in itself already feels like a job, with the strict schedule and deadlines, it can be a little overwhelming adding a real job on top of that.  That’s why at this age even more than others, while it is important to to get a job with a pay you are okay with, the environment can be a really big factor as well.  ​

One opportunity out there is cold stone.  With a starting pay of $8.50 (plus tips) you can get yourself some free ice cream along with your pay.  Taylor Dotson, a student working there, got the job because she “wanted money and job experience.”  Now that she’s there she wants everyone to know that they should apply because “It’s really fun and chill, all of the coworkers are fun, and it’s flexible.”

"Working teaches important life skills, such as having to deal with issues or problems that arise." Click here to learn more

The next job I’m going to highlight is all star.  Elliot Uffens has let us know that at all star not only will you have a starting pay of $9 plus tips, but you also get yourself discounted food, free bowling and free laser tag!

Right around the corner we have megaplex theatres.  The starting pay here is $9.50 plus you can see yourself new movies before they’re released in addition to discounted tickets and concessions.  Kaidan Aboroa says that it’s important to have a job because “You’re gonna need a job in life sooner or later, so why not learn to handle that responsibility early?”  Getting a job at this age will help you have an easier transition after high school.  Starting now will help you save money, gain new experiences, news friends, and skills you will forever use.

TODAY'S Looks: A TRIP back in time

BY ALAINA MAST
​ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

    From circular sunglasses to skater tees, arguably, the best fashion trends from anywhere between the 60s to the early 2000s are coming back. Fashion pieces from when our parents were born in the 60s and 70s, to when our siblings or us were born in the 90s and 2000s, are rising into the modern construct.
     Why has fashion, as well as other trends, gone back in time lately? In a 2019 interview with Insider, Byrd, a New York based clothing line, mentioned that elite groups like celebrities and designers from the mid and late 90s are a big influence to why clothing styles are going back to different eras.

In the late '90s, you had this widespread emergence of TV shows that talked about style...For example, with shows like 'Fashion Police' on E!, celebrities [became] not just talent, but they also became fashion icons.

The 60s
The 60s, right before the African-American and LGBTQ+ movement had quite a few more conservative pieces. In the 60s, they had fashion trends including the miniskirt, suits for women, oversized sunglasses and white boots. 
The 70s and 80s
The 70s and 80s were the era to be alive according to our parents. There was everything ranging from 25 cents for a loaf of bread to the best new bands and albums. Fashions varied from nylon, neon colors, corduroy, bell bottoms, high waisted jeans and perms. Trends like these, the types of fashion pieces that are trying to make a comeback today.

The 90s
The 90s easily were the clothes and fashion that is the most popular now. The 90s had many well-liked shows that almost everyone watched, like ‘FRIENDS’ or ‘Sinfield’ that had a variety of different clothing. Acid-washed shirts and jeans, skater tees, band tees, mom jeans, bucket hats and cargo pants are just a few examples of the clothes that teenagers and young-adults are wearing now.

The 2000s
    The early 2000s was when current high school students were born and grew up, so the fact that the fashion is trying to come back makes sense.The early 2000s was filled with low-rise jeans, wide belts, or frankly belts in general, tube tops and wearing leggings as pants.
    In the future it is safe to say that fashion will continue to be recycled throughout the decades. According to a ‘Forbes’ article, the market for second-hand clothing and fashion is expected to rise to $64 million by 2024. Just imagine, in the next 10 to 20 years, the teenagers will be wearing sweat suits or white ‘Fila’ shoes.

Hello Assembly gets 2021-2022 off to a grand start

BY KAILENE MEINERS
STUDENT LIFE EDITOR
      
     One of the biggest differences during the 2020-2021 school year was the lack of in-person assemblies.  This year’s hello assembly was the closest to normality we have gotten to one since the pandemic first hit.       Our school’s hello assembly is a clever way to introduce student gov, as well as promote some of our beautiful programs.  Kicking off with choir singing the national anthem, we then get to experience the dance and cheer teams showing off their hard work.   
     My personal favorite, however, has got to be the hello video.  This year was truly the funniest and most creative I’ve ever seen.  The videography skills, in the beginning, are some of the best I’ve seen, and the creativity introducing our SBOs to the full house theme song definitely sold it for me. 
     Towards the end of the assembly our theme for the year was also announced.  For the following year we will be living our school lives according to this year’s “Take the Reins” theme, a fun way to encourage us to truly control our once in a lifetime high school experience!  You may be wondering though, why explain what went down during the hello assembly when it seems as though everyone would’ve been there. 
     Though their fun-filled mini-events on stage for us to watch may seem like they’d be for everyone, assemblies are definitely not well-loved by everyone.  They can be repetitive, arguably pointless, and all-around a waste of time.  Many students choose to not attend assemblies, or simply zone out during them.  The controversy of assemblies is bigger than you might think, I was surprised to find out how evened out the opinions in favor and not in favor of the assembly were.
