This past week all of the freshman, sophomores, and juniors made their schedules for the upcoming 2014-15 school year. The students had experienced different conflicts, frustrations, and excitement. Usually each grade is split up into different groups and called down throughout the day from the loudspeakers that typically give announcements. However, this year was different…

Man of La Mancha Preview
Man of La Mancha has it all – laughs, action, singing, music, romance, dancing horses, an idealistic man who is a poet and tax collector. What is not to be excited about? Avonworth High School’s spring musical Man of la Mancha opens Friday, April 4th at 7:30 PM. The show is a play within a…
Opening the Temporal Zipper | Humor
Students today encountered many issues in regards to tardiness in their classes. As a matter of fact, most students were showing up late to classes by an hour and ten minutes! “How is this possible?” you ask. Avonworth High School is stuck in an interdimensional time paradox. Perhaps you noticed people with third eyes? Or…
Foster the People | ‘Supermodel’ Review
Three years ago, Foster the People stormed the radio waves with their single, “Pumped up Kicks.” Love it or hate it, the song put their name out there and brought them to the forefront of the music scene. The rest of their first album, Torches, rocked a synth-driven, alternative sound. On Tuesday, March 18, Foster…
An Interview With Steven Drain
Whenever the Westboro Baptist Church has been discussed in my high school classes, I have found them – as do many people – mystifying, hypocritical, and perplexing. Everything about them was bewildering to me: their pickets at the funerals of deceased soldiers, their picket at the funerals of the children and teachers killed by Adam…
Home
I’m home, and being home feels strange. It feels strange because it feels like nothing has changed. I feel like I have just finished an incredibly moving book, but no one else understands the emotions I feel or the experience I’ve had. I have had trouble expressing how my experience was because people always ask,…
Music Review by Cole Pokropowicz: “The Bones of What You Believe” by Chvrches
The actual music is unable to stand out as well. While it does make you want to dance, that effect is short lived. It comes in with such a rush, harmonizing with Lauren’s vocals, but then it just stays there. Nothing fuels it on its own. When the vocals are absent, the electronic beats are…
Passion for Fashion
Last week was one of the most tiring weeks of my life. On Saturday, March 8, the Cheyenne River Youth Project held an event called Passion for Fashion. At the event, middle school and high school girls pick out prom dresses, get their hair, makeup, and nails done, get a spa treatment, and choose accessories…
A Day in the Life of Amelia
I have been in Eagle Butte for over six weeks and I realized that I haven’t talked about what I do daily. Most days we have some sort of schedule, but sometimes when we have events we work strange hours and do different things than we normally would. I am supposed to be at…
Read Across America | Avonews Edition
Today is Read Across America Day, and, in honor of the occasion, students in Mr. Tuffiash’s Journalism 2 class browsed through old copies of The Avonews dating back to 1925. Of course, back then, it wasn’t called The Avonews, and Avonworth wasn’t even a school. Nonetheless, the origins of our school’s paper go back to…
