It’s about that time. The senior class of 2010 is getting ready to graduate. Along with graduation, comes the Baccalaureate.
For those who don’t know what that is, I will briefly tell you. It is a church service held the Sunday before graduation for all seniors and their family. A preacher and church will be chosen by the Ministerial Alliance, and seniors must wear their cap and gown. Hugo’s very own show choir will be there, singing. We all will be praying for success after graduation.
The service will be 7 p.m. May 16 at the First Assembly of God Church, located on the highway toward Paris.
Being a senior myself, I think this service will be a great way to get all the seniors together and celebrate becoming adults. I encourage all seniors and their families to go to his service and commemorate all the hard work we put into these last four years of school.
We all have come a long way, and I wish each and every senior good luck and a successful life.

Over the course of the school year, many items have been stolen.
The most recent theft occurred Friday, April 9, when the Hugo High School soccer team took a trip to Poteau. When the team returned, they soon found that items in their truck/car were stolen. This happened all in the HHS parking lot.
Do we need surveillance systems in our parking lot? Personally, I think we should have surveillance systems because it would make everyone feel peaceful. Knowing that their personal belongings are being watched over.
Earlier in the year, a person smashed in Ryan Debo’s truck. If we had a surveillance system. Many of these unfortunate events would not happen. |

We all love and need our vehicles. We need them to take us many places. Our vehicles may be high priced, fancy or just a family vehicle, but they all need to be insured.
Insurance coverage can vary from very little to almost fully covered, because there is no such thing as “full coverage.” The state of Oklahoma requires all registered vehicles to be covered with a minimum liability coverage limit of 25/50/25 which covers $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 for maximum per accident and $25,000 for property damage.
Other plans are comprehensive and cover vandalism, theft, fire and collision with a wild animal. Collision, another coverage, covers collision with anything other than a wild animal. These two together are considered full coverage but there is no such thing as real full coverage.
Gap coverage covers the difference of amount owed and the value of a vehicle in the event of a total loss.
The cost of teen insurance rates vary due to each teen’s behavior and whether they have had drivers education. The average costs for teenage girls’ liability insurance only for 6 months are $311. The same rate for a teenage boy is $465. This is because most teen boys have more tickets and accidents than teenage girls. Guys, we are paying more for the driving records of our predecessors. High testosterone levels in a car is not a good thing. |

Sen. Stanislawski introduced Senate Bill 421 in 2009. Under this bill, school districts will be allowed to award contracts for advertisements that will be displayed on the exterior of school buses.
Although started in 2009, this bill was not considered by the House Common Education Committee until April 7, 2010.
As with any bill, there are pros and cons. Selling advertisements would definitely add to a school district’s funding, but would that be worth the cost?
School buses are meant for student transportation, and safety is definitely a top priority. If school buses were to have advertisements, other drivers might be distracted by them.
Distractions while driving could cause wrecks to both other drivers as well as bus riders. Drivers should be focused on how they are driving and other drivers around them. While driving, one’s focus should not be on reading a moving advertisement.
If a driver were to focus on reading an advertisement, they would definitely miss what is happening around them.
All bills are meant to help in one way or another, but there is usually a cost. |

The journey of life is never predictable. As we age, we gather more information to help us on our future path. When we are young, we are guided and taugaht by adults who deeply care about our future.
Young people are a tremendous force of passion, hope and intellect to ensure that our world is headed in the right direction. Not all adults share that view of today’s youth. That is usually because they only see the media’s image of teens, or they do not have close relationships with positive kids. I consider my job one of the best, because I have the opportunity to work with positive, creative and intelligent teenagers every day.
This year, I was given the responsibility of teaching two journalism classes for the purpose of publishing a high school based newspaper. I was informed that this newspaper would be published weekly in the Hugo Daily News. We were asked to write stories about the other Hugo campuses and also sometimes community events. Stan Stamper and the Hugo Daily Staff met with myself and Principal Debbie Golden to brainstorm and discuss possibilities. It was a very positive and productive meeting that laid the groundwork for HoofPrints.
When the school year started, the enrolled journalism students and I were excited that we would be the first class at Hugo High School to ever have a weekly newspaper published in the Hugo Daily News. We set out the ground rules and immediately got busy gathering information and ideas for our first edition. The staff at Hugo Daily has helped us get the needed equipment and learn how to lay out our page. This process is intricate and required two staff members of Hugo Daily to spend many hours of class time with the journalism students. They taught us skills that will look impressive on a resume and also could lead to future employment with any newspaper. We would like to thank Stan, Amber and Brian for all their efforts and time devoted on our behalf.
I hope the readers of our page are impressed by the subject matter, the optimism and the research the students do weekly. I would love for the readers to e-mail us and give the students critiques and responses for some of your favorite stories throughout the year. We are making a scrapbook for the classes and would love to include these along with laminated versions of all our issues. Thank you for reading and supporting us during our introductory year. I hope this is a tradition that will last for many years to come.
