TRANSCRIPT
From the Super– Mr. Collins
The Wolverine
The final Budget numbers:
Valuation increased over 45
million., approximately 8 mil-
lion of which is valuation from
the Trans-Canada pipeline that
currently runs through our
District. Tax request increased
$417,000 and State Aid de-
creased $440,000; General
Fund Levy increased 1 cent to
96cents. In all of the other
funds the levies were reduced.
The final levy for the General
Fund; Special Building Fund,
Qualified Capital Fund and
Bond Fund were reduced 1.8
cents to $1.145 /$100 of valua-
tion or $1,145 for a $100,000
valued property.
The Board and Administration
continue to investigate strate-
gies and areas where we can
be more efficient and effective
with the money we receive.
Our ultimate goal continues to
be improving student achieve-
ment and citizenship by pro-
viding high quality educational
and activity experiences for
the young people we serve.
School is in it’s 5th week and
after the construction delays
and problems things are be-
ginning to feel “normal”. I
compliment the staff who had
to adjust to the fact that their
space, or room was not ready
at the beginning of the year
and they had to use make shift
spaces to work with their stu-
dents. Kurt Kiesel will have to
do so until the library is moved
during Christmas break.
As the construction was going
on I continued to be im-
pressed by the structure or
frame work of the high school
side of the building. For being
40 years old the “bones” of the
building are still very good.
The challenges we face are in
the aging systems, such as:
heating and cooling in the gym
and commons areas, phone
intercom and clock systems,
roofing, etc. We continue to
monitor and establish priori-
ties for repair, replacement
and improvement of the physi-
cal plant.
I have also been reviewing
data for the State of the Schools
report card that the Nebraska
Department of Education will
make available on their web-
site in October. In general, I
believe you will see improve-
ment in many of the areas
measured and reported. This
is supported in the elementary
grades by the fall testing re-
sults from our DIBEL’s assess-
ments.
The Board recently adopted
the 2011-2012 Budget. This
year was a bit more challeng-
ing than in the recent past as
we are receiving more than
$440,000 less in State Aid than
we did in 2010-2011. The im-
pact of this loss was somewhat
offset by a significant increase
in valuation. The State Aid
formula is often described as
complex and cumbersome,
making it difficult to predict
the District’s final allotment
with any certainty. It is my
opinion that the increase in
valuation we experienced this
year will decrease State Aid in
the years to come. In its sim-
plest form the Aid formula is
“Needs minus Resources
equals Equalization Aid”.
Since we have a stable student
and teacher population our
“needs” don’t change a lot.
Increases in valuation in-
crease our “resources” and
generally result in a loss of
equalization aid. Some Dis-
tricts in our State are experi-
encing a loss in student enroll-
ment (needs) and an increase
in valuation (resources) which
results in even more signifi-
cant reductions in Aid. I be-
lieve our District will continue
to see reductions in Aid and
potentially become a non-
equalized school. The silver
lining to this cloud is that we
get off what has historically
been the “State Aid roller
coaster”.

O c t o b e r n e w s
From the Counselor’s desk Wade Finley - 7-12 Counselor
In the following pages I hope you find useful
information and dates that will help you and
your student prepare for their future. Please
don’t hesitate to call me if you have any
questions. I look forward to working for you
and your children.
If college is in the plan for the fall of 2012,
plans should be made by seniors to take the
ACT, SAT or COMPASS no later than the
December test date. Many colleges require
the test information to qualify for freshmen
scholarship awards next spring. Students may test as
many times as they choose, the college will accept the
highest test score. Check on the institutions in which you
are interested for specifics about their testing require-
ments.
Scholarship information materials
are available in the Counseling
Office. Scholarships are available
in a variety of interest areas and for
a variety of students. But they do
not come to find the student.
Scholarship searching is hard
work, but in most cases pays dividends. Juniors may
want to acquaint themselves with the files in anticipation
of next year. The educational planning presentations in
the area are an excellent way in which to gather a great
deal of information from a variety of sources.
The Lincoln Area College Fair held at SCC-Lincoln of-
fers an opportunity to visit with 200 representatives in an
afternoon. It is held on Sunday, October 23, 2011 from
1:00 to 3:30 p.m. This is an informative activity for un-
derclassmen as well.
Another activity on the calendar is a
Financial Aid Planning Program to
be held on Monday, November 7,
2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the high
school commons.
A representative from Education-
Quest in Lincoln will be here to make a generic financial
aid presentation, and also to explain the
services provided by EducationQuest.
We are very fortunate in Nebraska to
have a facility which offers the counsel-
ing and informational services Education-
Quest does. An extra bonus is that the
services are all free of charge. If you are
interested in more information, please
stop by the Counseling Office or contact
EducationQuest at 1-800-303-3745 or at
www.educationquest.org.
Sophomores PLAN for the Future
W-C sophomores will take part in an exciting program
this fall offered by ACT. The program, called PLAN, in-
cludes academic tests, a survey of interest, and an as-
sessment of study skills knowledge. Students who partici-
pate in PLAN get a head start on career and educational
planning. PLAN results help them plan their remaining
two years of high school and set career and educational
goals for their life after high school.
The PLAN program will be available to
sophomores and will be offered on
Thursday, October 20, 2011. Students
will receive more information on PLAN.
PSAT/NMSQT: Wilber-Clatonia High
School juniors will take the PSAT/NMSQT testing pro-
gram this fall offered by SAT and the National Secondary
School Principal’s Association. Taking the PSAT will pro-
vide the juniors with insight into examination. Additionally,
taking the PSAT qualifies the student to participate in the
National Merit Scholarship Program.
The PSAT is a voluntary testing program. Each junior
choosing to participate may do so at their own expense
of $14.00. The test date is set for Wednesday, October
12, 2011. If there are questions, please contact the
Counseling Office.
The entire junior class will take the ASVAB (Armed Ser-
vices Vocational Aptitude Battery) on Tuesday, October
18, 2011. The ASVAB provides valuable career interest
information for the student. The information can be used
by the student to investigate suitable career choices for
themselves. The military administers and scores the test-
ing program and provides test results for interpretation.
COMPASS is the entrance test for community col-
leges and will be offered on the W-C campus once each
quarter. The testing session typically takes about 2 hours
and testing dates have been scheduled for Monday, Oc-
tober 10, 2011 starting at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday,
December 8, 2011 starting at 9:00 a.m. If you are inter-
ested please contact Mr. Finley in the Counseling Office.
EXPLORE is an assessment that will be used with
8th grade students this fall to assess their achievement in
Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. The
tool also includes an interest inventory that will help iden-
tify interests and skills that can be used in career explora-
tion activities. The assessment is created by the same
organization that has created the PLAN assessment used
with sophomores and the ACT used as juniors and sen-
iors to determine a student’s readiness for college.
Using the two years of results from the EXPLORE and
PLAN, students will help to determine academic growth
and prepare the students better for any post high school
plans. The EXPLORE will be administered to 8th grades
students on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 from 8:10
to 11:36 a.m. information and preparation activities will
be shared with the 8th grade prior to the administration of
the assessment.
CAREER EXPLORATION activities
are a regular part of the 7th, 8th and 9th
grade students’ schedules this year. The
students will meet with the counselor on
a regular basis to complete career explo-
ration activities to help identify interest
and skills that will lead to occupational
interests later in their school careers.
Early activities will help students identify specific interest
areas that may help identify career clusters of interest.
Investigation into specific careers will follow later in the
meetings. Students in 8th and 9th grades will also investi-
gate post high school options available to them. Plans will
be developed for selecting high school courses that will
help them to achieve later goals. Parents will be involved
in these plans and will be receiving information about
courses of study chosen and interest and career options
investigated by students.
NEBRASKA CAREER

SENIORS ARE MAKING
GRADUATION
PREPARATIONS
The senior class will be selecting class
colors in anticipation of graduation.
Sample announcements will be or-
dered and will be available for final se-
lection during the month of November.
Class memorabilia can also be ordered at the time of the
announcement selection. It is time to think about how
many announcements, thank you notes and open house
cards you will need. Seniors will bring home an order
packet about one week before the selection date for plan-
ning the items desired.
Seniors have also been measured for caps and gowns.
Committees for other senior activities have been formed
and will be organized for graduation. It may seem early,
but the preparations are time consuming. By beginning
early, a last minute flurry of activity can be avoided.
Graduation is Saturday, May 12, 2012
2:00 p.m. High School Gymnasium
CHECKOUT THE EVENTS
CALENDAR ON THE
SCC WEBSITE
Go to www.southeast.edu, and
click on the More Events choice to
learn about the upcoming events
at all SCC campuses. SCC is offering Campus Discovery
Days several times during the year for parents and stu-
dents to investigate each campus. These days along with
other events and activities, create a wonderful opportu-
nity to see what the campuses have to offer. Most col-
leges and universities have similar information on their
websites. Check out the institutions in which you are in-
terested.
SENIORS . . . have you visited your top colleges?
If you haven’t done so already, visit your top college
choices soon as application deadlines will start hitting
this fall. Follow these tips for a successful visit:
Contact the admissions office at least two weeks in
advance to schedule your visit. Make appointments
with an admissions representative, financial aid coun-
selor and a faculty member in the area of study that
interests you.
Check out the college website before your visit.
Most college sites have a section for prospective stu-
dents where you can learn about the school’s admis-
sions process, types of majors, student services and
employment opportunities. You might even be able to
schedule your visit online.
Visit while school is in session. You won’t get the
true flavor during breaks or finals week.
Get a feel for the campus. Hang out in the student
union, find coffee shops with wireless internet access,
eat in a restaurant close to campus or attend athletic or
cultural events.
Ask LOTS of questions. See the EducationQuest
College Prep Handbook or website for good questions
to ask.
Winning the Scholarship Game
Follow these tips to increase your
chances of earning scholarships.
$ Don’t pay for scholarship searches!
Use free search sites including Scholar-
shipQuest at www.educationquest.org that
lists over 1,600 state and local awards. Check out free
national sites such as FastWeb, SRN Express and
FastAid. Scholarship resources are also available at
your local library and at the EducationQuest offices in
Kearney, Lincoln and Omaha.
$ Visit your high school counselor weekly for infor-
mation about local scholarships.
$ Get organized. Place scholarship applications in
deadline order and prioritize each award. Local and
college-specific scholarships deserve top priority be-
cause you’re more likely to earn them.
$ Continually update your activities, honors and
volunteer or paid jobs using the Activities Resume at
www.educationquest.org.
$ Earn the best possible ACT/SAT scores by taking
the exams in the spring of your junior year and again in
the fall of your senior year.
$ Use quality references such as a teacher, coach or
counselor. Encourage them to write specific examples
of your leadership skills. Give them advanced notice
and a specific deadline.

hopes for the future and leadership abilities. Be sure to
tailor your essay to the question.

Regret City
I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of the year,
and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was
going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good
would come of it. This is my annual ―Guilt Trip‖.
I got tickets to fly there on ―WISH I HAD‖ airlines. It was an
extremely short flight. I got my ―baggage‖, which I could not
check. I chose to carry it myself all the way. It was loaded down
with a thousand memories of ―what might have been.‖ No one
greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City Interna-
tional Airport. I say international because people from all over
the world come to this dismal town.
As I checked into the ―Last Resort‖ Hotel, I noticed that they
would be hosting the year’s most important event—the annual
―Pity Party‖. I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion.
Many of the town’s leading citizens would be there.
First, there would be the ―Done‖ family; you know, ―Should
Have,‖ ―Would Have,‖ and ―Could Have‖. Then came the ―I
Had‖ Family. You probably know old ―Wish‖ and his clan. Of
course, the ―Opportunities‖ family: ―Missed and Lost‖, would be
present. The biggest family there would be the ―Yesterday’s‖.
There are far too many of them to count, but each one would
have a very sad story to share. Of course, ―Shattered Dreams‖
would surely make an appearance. ―It’s Their Fault‖ family
would regale us with stories (excuses) about how things had
failed in their life. Each story would be loudly applauded by the
―Don’t Blame Me‖ and ―I Couldn’t Help It‖ Committees.
To make a long story short, I went to this depressing party,
knowing full well there would be no real benefit in doing so.
And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about
all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it oc-
curred to me that this trip and subsequent ―pity parties‖ COULD
be cancelled by ME!
I started to realize that I did not have to be there. And I didn’t
have to be depressed. One thing kept going through my mind, I
CAN’T CHANGE YESTERDAY, BUT I DO HAVE THE POWER
TO MAKE TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY. I can be happy, joy-
ous, fulfilled, encouraged, as well as being encouraging.
Knowing this, I left Regret City immediately, and didn’t leave a
forwarding address. Am I sorry for mistakes I have made in the
past? YES! But there is no way to undo them.
So, if you’re planning a trip back to Regret City, please cancel all
those reservations now. Instead, take a trip to a nice place
called: ―Starting Again‖ . I like it so much that I made it my
permanent residence. My neighbors, the ―Been Forgiven‖ and
the ―We’re Saved‖ are so very helpful. By the way, you don’t
have to carry around the heavy baggage anymore either. That
load is lifted from your shoulders upon arrival. But don’t take
my word for it, find out for yourself.

Junior High Wrestling practice will begin Monday, October 17th
after school in the high school wrestling area. All 7th and 8th
grade boys are encouraged to participate in the sport. Practice
time will be from 3:45 until 5:30 p.m. with arrangements for rides
home following practice. Physicals are a must and participation
will need a physical on file. Equipment will be a t-shirt, shorts,
proper undergarment, socks, wrestling or gym shoes and a

ber 13th in the art room after school.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by
dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of
others’ opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to be-
come. Everything else is secondary.

FBLA will be starting our fall community service pro-
ject in October. This year the members decided to collect donations for the
Saline County Eldercare and food pantry. We are going to have a class
competition as to which class can bring the most items to donate. The ele-
mentary classes are also asked to participate if they want. With the com-
bined efforts of many classrooms, we are hoping to get many donations and
fill the pantry for the holidays and winter season.
Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in Hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and travelled by Came-
lot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had Myths. A Myth is a
female moth.
Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They wanted to kill him. Socrates died from an over-
dose of wedlock. After his death his career suffered a dramatic decline.
Eventually the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for long.
Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when
everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.

upon...positive or negative. It’s your
choice. Focus on what you have and
what’s right, not on what you don’t have
and what’s wrong..And say thank you
for what you have as often as possi-
ble...it will change your life!
