But there are also some going into the military for many different reasons. Some join for the benefits and others join just because they don’t know what they want to do. When we signed u,p we had to travel to Eureka. Most who signed up were at the end of our junior year, while others had to wait for the beginning of this year. Based on the branch you signed up with, you would have to go to a MEPS, Military Entrance Processing Station.</span></div>

Some want to join Marines while others want to join the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, or Air Force. There are only four seniors that are joining the Army this year so far, while there are currently five juniors actively trying to go and enlist when they are able to. The jobs that are taken by Fortuna High seniors currently are Combat Medic, Ranger Contract, Underwater Demolitions Diver, and Direct Fire Infantry. We all leave at different times and go to different places to do our training. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">The Ag. Dept. is currently fixing up their greenhouse. Last year, some students powerwashed the panels to remove the dirt and to see how worn they were.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="144e041c144b741f_144e03beabf7a17b__GoBack"></a> So after seeing how broken they are, the greenhouse was stripped to its metal frame and cleared of some very pesky wasps.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">There is just one slight hiccup in repairing the greenhouse. It needs corrugated clear panels. March 19, some panels were found and only a short walk from the school. So now the steps now needed are to save the money needed and rebuild the greenhouse.</span></div>

The Daffodil Show at the River Lodge will take place on
March 22-23. Everyone in the floral class will take a design to the River Lodge
on Friday the 21 from 3:15 to 4:30 to go set up because the judging will take

“I am so excited,” said Mrs. Kleiner<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>.
There will be judges scoring the daffodil design. There is going to be
different stages, and if you get an honorable mention that is the lowest ribbon
that you can get. You can also enter a mini design so that you can get 10 extra
credit points for the floral class. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before we had the technology we have today, everything people did involved physical movement. Everyone couldn’t just go into a store and buy food for their families to eat. People had to farm and grow all of their crops. It involved a ton of labor. People had to plow the fields, water the plants, pick the weeds, and harvest the plants. Now we have technology to most of that work. There are tractors to plow the fields, water systems to irrigate the plants, and herbicides to kill unwanted plants. Today, due to technology, a lot of people are not getting the sufficient amount of physical activities to stay healthy.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most of public schools today, have a mandatory P.E. class, but due to the economy, it’s starting to get rid of in some schools. They believe since it’s not an academic class, it is the easiest to get rid of. According to Allgov.com only one third of California’s students are considered physically fit in 2013. The say it is due to the budget cuts for physical education.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some people think physical education isn’t necessary. Carmen Jordan doesn’t think it should be necessary’s he says that, “Students could spend that time doing more important things, such as getting ready for the ACT or taking a college prep class.” She also says that, “the most unnecessary mandatory class.” They also argue saying that physical education isn’t working because more people are getting overweight even with the program. I disagree with her though.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are way more pros than cons to having mandatory Physical Education. It teaches students about being healthy and gives you a daily exercise. Rob Garcia says that,” A class (P.E.) that is meant to teach students the importance of maintaining good personal health and pass along healthy habits on exercising and eating -- just like those commercials and shows you see on TV, except now you’re actually accomplishing something!” I agree with Rob Garcia. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

It keeps us in good shape and active unlike all other classes where all we do is sitting in a desk. I can’t imagine how many more people out of shape we would have on top of the many we already do. I think most of the students enjoy Physical Education.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I disagree with people who oppose Physical Education. They say that it takes time from other academic classes. I believe a Physical Education is just as important because a person’s health is just as important as other classes. If a person isn’t healthy, what’s the use of having them full of knowledge? I think if we keep physical education a requirement just like academic classes, we’d get the best results. We would have healthy and educated people in the future.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you can see, I believe physical education is a very important class to keep. I don’t think we should have them removed from schools. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898500774986778966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084783703396063014.post-5270135146317039142013-12-03T21:59:00.000-08:002013-12-16T09:00:02.059-08:00Husky football starts strong<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Simmons also said that the defense was very strong and put Ferndale in the dirt and didn’t allow any big plays for them to succeed on. Patrick Daly was a sacking machine says Simmons. He recorded four sacks in the game and created big problems for the Wildcats.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On May 25, 2013 of last school year, Lindsey Bugbee happily married Ryan Kleiner. The beautiful wedding took place at Ferndale Church of the Assumption, after everyone met at the River Lodge to celebrate with a lovely reception. Approximately 350 people showed up to the celebration of their love. The coordinated wedding theme was aqua, pink, and lots and lots of burlap. Kleiner says, “It was a perfect day.” </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898500774986778966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084783703396063014.post-50525858099645940342013-12-03T21:27:00.000-08:002013-12-03T21:30:19.945-08:00Halstead teaches new Green Technology class<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Every Thursday the Green Technology class taught by Mrs. Halstead, 6th period, in room F5 recycles everything in the school. With the money we get from recycling we are putting it together to fundraise a trip to the Green Technology Convention in Sacramento, California. Also, we are going to be doing interesting projects such as: make your own fuel cell car, building Alka-Seltzer rockets as well as taking online classes with the topic of Green Technology.</span></span><br />

After interviewing five people who are currently attending Fortuna High School, we realized the list of activities was drastically low. Finding that “hanging out with friends” is the most common for high school students. </span></div>

There are a plethora of activities students can partake in, in the Eel River. For example, you can go on adventurous hikes with your friends. Another activity the Eel offers is bird watching, whaling, and canoeing. You can also go biking in one of our many parks. The list of activities goes on and on. Even visiting our beautiful redwoods or taking a trip to our national parks. The Eel River has much to offer everybody and their personal interests. </span></div>
