Julie Hoover, Hugo High School’s home economics and career teacher, recently told us about a trip that she and a few students attended. The competition is titled, STAR events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) in which members are recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation.
STAR events offer individual skill development and application of learning through the following activities: Cooperative — when teams work to accomplish specific goals; Individualized — an individual member works alone to accomplish specific goals; Competitive — individual or team performance measured by an established set of criteria. On Tuesday, Feb. 2, Hugo FCCLA went to regionals for STAR events in Ada.
Tricia Santillan placed third in interpersonal communications, her focus topic was spreading awareness and prevention for teen suicide. Other FCCLA members who attended the STAR events National Programs in Action were Julie Pearl and Monica Dominguez. |

“The Bucket List” was a great movie about things you want to accomplish before you die. Students certainly aren’t focused on dying, but most of them do have people they want to meet or events to experience in their future.
I interviewed a few students at Hugo High School and here are a few of their responses: Places to go: Austrailia, Vermont in the fall, Montana and the French countryside. Career: Become a novelist or anesthesiologist. Events to experience: Broadway play, a symphony and the winter Olympics. People to meet: Beyonce, James Paterson and the president.
As you can see, here at Hoof Prints, we all have goals and events that we want to enjoy in our lifetime.

High schools have always focused on preparing students for jobs, adulthood and college. The bond between the student and the school usually breaks upon graduation and the two likely never see much of each other again. However, the bond gets stronger in some cases. That’s definitely the case with Charlie Bob Wibben.
Wibben’s high school career was filled with football. Wibben played football all four years of high school. He said that his coach for most of high school was Gary Smith.
“Football practice lasted about three hours every day, and we did everything,” Wibben said.
Wibben played cornerback and halfback most of the time.
After graduating from Hugo High School in 1989, Wibben went on to get his Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Most alumni you can find back in Hugo on special occasions like homecoming or class reunions, but Wibben is at nearly all Hugo School events. Since the 1998-99 school year, Wibben has recorded every single football game for the Buffaloes, that’s about 120 games. Wibben was also the president of the Booster Club for six years.
It’s not just football where Wibben devotes his time, he also keeps books for the Hugo High basketball teams; a job he’s had for six years. During halftime of every game Wibben comes into the locker room with the stats from the first half and also comments on foul trouble for the opposing team.
He is a great contributor to Hugo Schools. He volunteers and does many different jobs for the school, but it is that he attends so many events that is so amazing.
“I enjoy serving Hugo; and anything I can do to help kids, I’ll do it,” Wibben said. |

Apple has always been known for creating magical and revolutionized products, and the iPad is just that. Steve Jobs believes the iPad to be in a category of its own, separate from smart phones and laptops.
The iPad is a tablet. Tablets are touch controlled computers. With the iPad you can do just as much as a laptop but with a more enjoyable experience.
The iPad’s design is very sleek and light weight. It’s half an inch thick and weighs only 1.5 pounds. Its size is 9.56 inches in height and 7.47 inches wide. With its sleek design, you can hold the iPad as if holding a book or notebook. The touch screen is as intuitive as can be. You click and drag in the same way a mouse is moved on a computer.
The iPad has all of the features of the iPod touch, which includes music, videos, games, etc. The Apple App Store is also fully compatible with the iPad with more than 140,000 applications. New applications are being made right now to be specifically for the iPad, taking full advantage of its 9.7-inch screen.
With the creation of the iPad comes a new application called iBooks. This application allows users to download and read eBooks, which are computer versions of real books.
The iPad contains Apple’s new innovative hardware chip called the A4. The A4 chip is a processor custom made by Apple and greatly improves performance.
The iPad includes six versions, all with different prices. There are 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions with either Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G. The prices range from $499 to $829.
Apple’s iPad is a great new product and will be released soon. |

In the olden days, radio was king. The whole family would gather around one radio to hear the broadcast of a favorite show. Friends would come and the anticipated broadcast would be shared and then talked about for days.
Well times have changed, radio isn’t as widespread as it was before. There are many subjects of discussion that never reach the radio. This is where podcasting comes in. Unlike radio, podcasting is over the Internet. Anyone can obtain a podcast channel whether bought or obtained from a free podcasting service.
A podcast can be done over any topic of your choice, but your choice will determine the amount of listeners. Podcasts can be done at any time, but having a scheduled time will be more ideal. A scheduled time of podcasting will be favored by listeners and will allow for expansion. Podcasts can be done over a variety of things such as discussions over video games, family life or news.
Podcasts can also be used to teach others. “How To’s” are a very popular topic for podcasts. Many listeners want to gain skills ranging anywhere from software programs to advanced level code writing for computers. “How To’s” don’t have to be limited to just computer-related skills. A podcast could be about teaching cooking.
There are many gamers that like to discuss video games, but there might not be anyone around that shares their intersts. Podcasts solve this problem. Many podcasts, like radio shows, take in callers who want to ask questions or just a part of the discussion. The type of podcast and its presentaion is determined by the host or hosts of the podcast.
So if you would like to make your own “radio show,” you could create a podcast on your topic of choice, and then wait for listeners to pile in excited to hear something new from you.
