Peppin’ it up for Homecoming
By: Tori Priest, Raeann Hurst, Mikayla Coleman and
Courtney Huff
On Friday, January 4, 2013, the Fairfield
High School cheerleaders held the annual home-
coming pep rally. Students had an early release
from school to attend the event and participate in
the games.
The festivities kicked off with the cheer-
leaders involving the crowd in cheers and doing a
dance routine to the school fight song. Once the
crowd was settled, the fun started with a friendly
competition between grade levels. The first ac-
tivity was an obstacle course. After that, teams
participated in a pie eating contest, blindfold
makeup, mock homecoming and a karaoke con-
test.
The sophomores took first place after the
addition of the pep rally and homecoming week .
The Freshmen were second, juniors were third
and the seniors came in last place. Overall, every-
one had a great time. Congratulations to the soph-
omores!

night full of dancing and fun.

p.m. with dancing and an optional
photo opportunity by Downtown

dates. Later on in the night, the
Homecoming Court was an-
nounced. The Court, accompanied

Like It’s Hot.”
The night concluded at

last song “Don’t worry.” Thanks to

The Evolution of Basketball
By Alec Irvin and Brant Huff
How has professional basketball
changed over the years?
There is no doubt that basketball is
one of the most popular sports in
America. It is also easy to determine
that over many years, basketball has
evolved. The way the game was a
long time ago is not the same as the
game is today. There have been many
changes in the game of basketball,
some of them good and some of
them bad, from the uniforms the
players wear to the money they
make. The game of basketball in the
early days, when legends Jerry West
and Bill Walton used to play, was very
basic and fundamental.
Later on, towards the 80’s and 90’s,
an entirely new breed of players en-
tered the world of professional bas-
ketball. Players like Larry Bird, Magic
Johnson, and the most dominant
player of the era, Michael Jordan,
changed the game of basketball with
their outstanding athletic ability and
off the wall plays. The players of this
time weren’t given million dollar con-
tracts and didn’t have anything hand-
ed to them; to them, they had to
work hard to earn their contracts.
Today, the game of basketball is very
different than it was before. Players
like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant
have multi-million dollar contracts
given to them before they ever play in
an NBA game.
There is no question that the
players today work hard, but
they don’t have the team
chemistry and determination
to win like the players did just
25 years before. The players
today are all about themselves
and try to win a game with
only the best player on the
team. This is why you
hear a lot of news stories
about players who have
extraordinary stats in a
game, not about teams as
a whole winning games.
While basketball is still
one of the most popular
sports in America today,
the game isn’t the same as it
used to be. The game of bas-
ketball has changed in almost
every aspect, except the gen-
eral idea to get the ball in the
hoop. It can easily be said that
players today aren’t as dedi-
cated and determined to win
as the players used to be, and
it is probably true. While bas-
ketball is still a fun sport to
watch, it just isn’t like it used
to be in the past. It’s time to
bring back the throwbacks.

Avoiding two faced people?
•Don’t tell anyone your secrets if you have any doubt that
they can’t keep it.
•Don’t put any personal information on Facebook.
•Think before sending, posting, or texting someone,
especially if don’t you want anyone else to know about it.
Answers:
•If you answered yes to 3
of these questions, then
others may consider you
to be two-faced.
•If you answered no to 4
or 5 of these questions,
then you are a true friend.
Facing two-faced people
Have you ever told a friend one of your deepest secrets and they
promised they would never tell anyone? Later on you find out that eve-
ryone now knows. Two-faced people are those who swear they won’t tell
a soul, but then they go behind your back and tell someone else, maybe
even just one other person but the damage is done. Trust is difficult to
establish, and nearly impossible to rebuild.
When a friend becomes two-faced it is difficult to trust them any-
more. No one wants a friend that promises one thing then turns around
and does another. When a friend tells a secret in confidence, it should be
obvious not to tell others. A true friend always keeps their promise.
Don’t be two-faced people! It is time to start acting like true
friends. If you consider yourself to be two-faced, now is the time to
change your ways. Those who can keep a secret will not only be a great
friend, but will also find great friends.
Friend or Foe?
1. Have you ever acted concerned about someone just
to get information?
2. Have you ever repeated a secret someone asked
you not to tell?
3. Have you ever embellished someone’s words to
make the story seem more interesting?
4. Have you ever waited for someone to walk away to
talk behind their back?
5. Have you ever eavesdropped to gain juicy gossip?
Some ways to avoid being two faced:
•Don’t eavesdrop
•Keep secrets & promises
•Respect others’ thoughts, opinions and priva-
cy.
