Debate team attends region competition
BY TESSA HOLLIS
Waking up at 5 a.m. on a Saturday morning is never fun, but this
time for the debate team, it was definitely worth it.
The team boarded the bus at 6:30 a.m. to head off for their final
debate region competition. The debaters made a stop for breakfast,
where they shared good times and great memories. Then they were
off to Gainesville College for competition.
The affirmative team consisted of Nicole Cavanagh and Kelli Burroughs.
The negative team was made up of Ashley Shubert and Tessa Hollis.
Jenni Nation served as the alternate.
After two rounds of rigorous debating, Madison County placed
third. Congratulations to all participants.
MCHS celebrates National FCCLA Week
The Madison County High Chapter of Famiy,
Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) will join thousands
of FCCLA members across the nation in celebrating National FCCLA
Week during the week of Feb. 13-19.
This national event celebrates the only youth organization that
has the home and family as its focus. This year's theme is: FCCLA:
Gateway to the Future.
This theme illustrates the organization's goal to improve the
family, home, community, and workplace through leadership skills,
life skills and community service.
To celebrate the week, daily activities have been planned for
local FCCLA members. On Sunday, local churches are asked to recognize
their FCCLA members. Monday has been designated as "School
Project Day"; members will conduct a school service project
by organizing and delivering the Valentine's Day flowers for
their school.
Tuesday's celebration is "Chapter Fun Day." Members
will recognize each other's birthdays with a party after school,
complete with cake, ice cream, party hats and balloons. Wednesday
is "Career Day."
The chapter is continuing its career emphasis with a visit from
a representative from ABAC. Thursday members will travel to Atlanta
for "FCCLA Day at the Capitol." They will meet with
the local representative and senator. Friday has been named "FCCLA
Day" as members are encouraged to wear their chapter T-shirt.
National FCCLA Week is a week of exciting activities that build
leadership skills, life skills and provide opportunities for
community service.
Candi Morris, President of the MCHS Chapter, says, "FCCLA
Week is a busy one for our members, but it is worth all of the
time and effort!"
'Wall of Love' erected at MCHS
BY SARA DUCEATT
Cupid's arrow struck again, only this time it was on the high
school cafeteria lobby's wall. Y-Club continued a tradition from
last year by selling paper hearts to go on 'The Wall of Love."
This was an opportunity to show someone's love for their valentine
with a red heart, let the whole school know about a good friendship
with a white heart or even have the courage to tell everyone
that you have a crush with a pink heart. The money earned from
the large hearts for a dollar each and the small hearts for 50
cents went toward the World Service/Home Extension Pledge for
the Y-Club.
Dear Roger and Rory,
My boyfriend wants to get his tongue pierced, though I protest
it and have begged him not to. How can I get him to understand
my views and how it can be dangerous to his well-being?
Sincerely,
Opposed to Holes
Dear Opposed,
Piercing can be very dangerous. Many diseases can be transmitted
via needles that are used to pierce. If all precautions are taken
in preparation, some incidents may still happen which may cause
serious injury. Sure, there are several thousand piercings done
every year in which no problems arise, but bad things do happen.
You can get such dangerous diseases as the HIV virus if a needle
is not properly sterilized. It is your boyfriend's decision whether
or not to get the piercing. But do what you can to get him to
understand your perspective.
Sincerely,
Roger and Rory Raider
