No Books In School?
by Jason Ashburn
Statistics show that a typical elementary
textbook costs more than $100. Some developers have created the E-book. The E-book is
a modern, light-weight, and portable version
of those heavy textbooks. The bad thing
about textbooks is that they're made of paper, so they can get damaged pretty easily,
and in a few years the information in the
textbooks will be outdated. The good thing
about E-books is that they are modern, portable, small, strong, and light-weight.
The bad thing about E-books is that the battery in them has to be charged. Another
good thing is that E-books cost less than
textbooks. However, the average public
school's budget is not able to buy enough Ebooks for every student. Even in private
schools, they have to buy their own E-books.
A good thing about E-books is that the information can stay up to date. Most people say
that the schools could adopt E-books in a
more gradual way. I hope all of you are
ready for E-books, one day.

Viruses On Our Side
by Jason Ashburn
The notion of viruses fighting cancer was
always an idea but with new technology we
might actually may be able to do that. A cancer patient with blood-borne cancer got injected with a modified measles virus. The
patient went through complete remission. A
second patient was injected by a similar
modified measles virus, but the patient did
not go through as big as a recovery, but it
was proven that it did shrink the tumor. A
herpes virus is modified to attack brain tumors. How these viruses work is that the
measles virus goes for the immune system,
which is how it attacks the blood cancer. The
herpes virus settles down in the nervous system,
The Fashion
by Leah Duckett
Tellico Plains High School held a fashion
show on Tuesday, April 7th, including
dresses and outfits made by students at the
school. The bizarre yet marvelous performance was owned not only by the dresses and
models that sported them, but also by the
music. Although the dresses looked expensive, they were all made from recycled items
and simple fabrics. The finale was phenomenal, with Morgan Payne dancing around in
her dainty, fairy-like dress and being followed by Skylar Shell in her daunting dress
and intimidating wings. With an enchanted
forest theme, "The Fashion 2015" made a
magnificent impact on students, parents,
friends, and many important people that
attended.

Pranking Professor
by Deanna Belcher
How would you like to be in this classroom? On
April 1, 2015, Professor Mathew Weathers decided to pull a prank on his students. They
watched a video of himself explaining a trigonometry problem. They were in shock when
there teacher started interacting with the
video. He kept correcting and arguing with it!
Eventually, the video version of Professor
Weathers said," Why don't you come over here
and say that to my face?" Weathers then
"enters" the computer screen, has an argument
with his YouTube self, and gets "trapped" in
the video. If I could say one thing to Biola University in California on this day it would
be,"April fools!" Source: Yahoo News
Star Update

Play Sudoku
Sudoku is easy to play and the rules are simple. Fill in the blanks so that each row, each
column, and each of the nine 3x3 grids contain
one instance of each of the numbers 1 through
9.
Duke, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Kentucky battled it out in a great Final Four
tournament this year. There's no perfect season for Kentucky this year! With a great
game between Wisconsin and Kentucky,
Kentucky was sent home with a bad attitude
after getting beat by Wisconsin. Kentucky's
star player, Andrew Harrison, was locked
down by Frank Kaminsky, who played out of
position to guard Harrison. To start off, the
momentum was definitely on Wisconsin's
side. Kaminsky came out of the gate running
with 3 three pointers in a row to start off the
game. Now I'm going to let Logan give his
opinion on this game's highlight player,
since Kaminsky is his favorite player.
" I lost a lot of respect for Andrew Harrison after the game. He made vulgar responses to questions about Frank Kaminsky.
He was just mad because he's not on Kaminsky's level and frustrated after the perfect
season came to an end. Now let's get to the
daddy-o, Kaminsky. He's as tall as Durant,
can shoot like Curry, drives like Harden,
finishes like Westbrook, scores like Kobe,
and plays defense like Duncan."
Now for the other game, Duke vs Michigan
State. Duke skunked Michigan State 81-61.
Justin Winslow finished with Duke's team
high 19 points. The Spartans started out the
game winning within the first four minutes.
Duke was led by two star freshmen, a solid
senior, and trademark defense.
Now to what this was all about, the National
Championship, Duke vs Wisconsin. Duke
won by five 68-63. Though Kaminsky finished with 21 points, at the end Wisconsin
wasn't giving him the ball. I mean, if you
have a player of that caliber he needs the
ball. Duke's highest scorer, Jhalil Okafor
only had eleven points, but Duke didn't need
a high scorer because they had a lot of contributors. In the end, one player can't do it
all and that was proven in this year's National Championship.
