Samantha Owens was overtaken with excitement and disbelief when she was announced winner of the Miss GHS pageant. Miss GHS 2008 products and a cash prize of $100. I asked Miss GHS a few questions about her experience; she told me that she and her friends only competed to support prom and she had no idea that she would ever win. She said her goal as Miss GHS is to get stereotyped students to be more involved. She said that being involved in things such as the drama program can make shy students more outgoing. Her favorite moment of the entire experience was when her escort made her laugh on stage, and it made everyone laugh backstage. I asked her if she could give any advice to future contestants. She said, “Just go for it and don’t think that you can’t win because of age, popularity, or anything else. She says, “Just have fun and don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.” By Bryan Stafford Last year Giles High School brought back the tradition of the Miss GHS pageant that had not been held for several years and the event turned into a success. This year sponsors Babette Martin, Tiffany Matlock, and Erin Burton got together to organize the event yet again and make it even better than last years. This year’s competition featured much entertainment including the Giles Country Dance Academy Competition Teams, the Giles County Storm All-Star Cheerleaders, and a performance by Giles High School’s own Dewayne “Dwelvis” Sanders. The competition showcased 22 contestants competing for this year’s crown. The girls were each given an interview prior to the actual competition which went towards fifty percent of their overall score. The other fifty percent is divided into two twenty-five percent categories based on their casual and evening wear that they modeled during the competition. After a night of excitement it all came down to five finalists. The five finalists were Kristen Lucas, Astleigh Hobbs, Samantha Owens, Amber Lee, and Elizabeth Loveday. After the five finalists were chosen they were all asked a question that they had previously been asked during their interview. After all the questions had been asked, the judges went to tally up the scores and came back with the three winners. In the end Samantha Owens was crowned Miss GHS 2008 by last year’s winner, Katy Allamong. She was also awarded with several cosmetic Second runner up Amber Lee and 1 st runner up Astleigh Hobbs were presented with gift packages.

Honosky The absentee system is something we’re all familiar with. You bring a note from home and/or the doctor to the teacher responsible for your grade level, they sign a little slip of paper, and then you are responsible for having that slip signed throughout the day. A waste of time? To some, but to others, it is a helpful reminder to get your assignments, or to get a little extra help from the teacher if you’ve missed a day or two or six. A downside, however, is that they’re very hard to remember; most of the time these little slips end up as soggy bits of paper in the next wash. Another part of the system is the check out early slips and the check in late slips. These apply basically to the same system, however, instead of getting all your teachers’ signatures, you are only required the names of the teachers whose classes you will miss or have missed. These slips can be obtained either in the morning along with the absentee slips, the bookstore, or the main office. You either turn these into the office or let a teacher turn it in for you, the same as your absentees. These little pieces of paper may be an annoyance, but they really are for a good purpose. The absentees, check-in, and check-out slips are a helpful reminder to get your assignments and check in with the teacher, and it also helps the staff keep track of where you are, in case of emergency or other reasons. So the next time you think, “Oh, why do I have to bother with this?” Just remember that little rectangle could be the difference between an passing grade and a failing grade. 10
