Alex Igolkin – The Hoofprint https://www.hoofprint.net Buffalo High School's student-run news source Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:50:42 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 https://fkpd7a.a2cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/cropped-favicon-1-32x32.png Alex Igolkin – The Hoofprint https://www.hoofprint.net 32 32 Is it Art or Just a Book? https://www.hoofprint.net/is-it-art-or-just-a-book/2013/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-it-art-or-just-a-book Wed, 05 Jun 2013 17:50:42 +0000 https://www.hoofprint.net/?p=16213 The year is coming to an end, seniors are throwing graduation parties, juniors are ready to be seniors, and the new Tatanka yearbook is out. Every year students get their yearbooks, some only want to get them when they are seniors. Everybody is signing one another’s with weird signatures. Before everybody would write HABAS (Have a bad ass summer). Thinking it was so awesome. Now it is just a name and they tell you to have fun this summer.

There is both complaints and compliments to this year’s yearbook. One of the most common complaints so far is misquotes and grammar errors. One thing that needs to be remembered is that the yearbook was made by the students for the students.

“Lots of mistakes, but it was a good yearbook,” Junior Kaylee Knutson said.

No product is perfect. Everything has flaws. Imagine playing a game that’s perfect, no cheat codes, no glitches, not even a misprint? It wouldn’t be fun.

“I’m not going to admit that there could ever be a yearbook without mistakes. Every product has flaws. Expectations are so high, It’s flattering to see that people expect a perfect product from a group that has never made a yearbook before,” Journalism Teacher and Yearbook Adviser Ryan McCallum said.

Most people agree that the yearbook gets better every year.

“I think it’s amazing. Each year they are treating it less like a book and more and more like a project,” Senior Devon Bainey said.

Guidlines for Freshmen https://www.hoofprint.net/guidlines-for-freshmen/2013/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=guidlines-for-freshmen Tue, 21 May 2013 18:16:21 +0000 https://www.hoofprint.net/?p=15952

Everyone makes mistakes, but you don’t have to learn from your own! Most people would love to go back in time and change some of the things they did. Most people would go back to freshmen their freshman year and change some of the things they did. A lot of people want to help make it easier for freshmen by giving them some advice.

 

Everyone has made choices that they are not proud of. Thinking of what would be the better choice is hard, however it is important to put extra thought into your decisions.

 

”I would have made wiser choices,” said Sophomore Sammie Burandt.

Don’t go into High School thinking you have your friends picked out and the best friends by your side. Its about meeting new people and getting yourself out there. Sometimes your friends just don’t stay true to you. There is a lot of backstabbing and turning your back on those who you thought were your closest friends.

 

“Make sure you know your true friends because things happen,” said Freshmen Paul Bjork

 

Freshman classes are relatively easy starting classes, so starting with harder more advanced classes would be a better way to start. Also during your senior year you will not have to take harder classes and be able to take more electives.

 

“Take harder classes your freshman year,” said Junior Donnie Lind

Freshmen don’t know what to expect when they come to highschool for the first time. Watching tv doesn’t help when they show just the drama and violence at schools.

 

”It’s not like on TV, you don’t know what to expect,” said Junior Maverick Flesher
