BIANCA GARCIA – Hoof Prints Staff Baccalaureate has been going on for years; it is practically a tradition. A baccalaureate service has always been held on the Sunday before graduation to honor the graduating class.

KAYLA STACY – Hoof Prints Staff Standing in her front yard as Lindsey Smith teaches her to do backhand springs, Brenda Cordero decides she wants to be a cheerleader. It was in second grade when her attention turned towards this sport. “When I was little, I liked to watch all the girls in the skirts,” Brenda said. “I knew I wanted to learn all the moves and how to tumble.” [...] KAYLA STACY – Hoof Prints Staff She wakes up at 6. She attends school until 3:15. She drives home to change only to leave again. She hesitantly heads to work. If she’s lucky she’ll get off between 11 p.m. and midnight. Afterwards, she heads home to clean. She will get in bed anywhere between 1 and 3 a.m. For Jessica Gray, this routine seems like it may never end.

The question is whether or not you tell them the truth and crush their dreams about his existence or go along with the lie that has been imposed on them ever since they were born.

Instead of changing the celebration of Halloween to Saturday, why can’t society just keep it on Sunday? Ever since I can remember, every time Halloween was on a Sunday I always celebrated it on that day. [...] BIANCA GARCIA – Hoof Prints Staff Seriously, is it really that hard to follow dress code? Recently, Mr. Rose addressed us about the student handbook. Everyone seemed to be fine with the rules, until the information about dress code came about. The rules have changed some, but it’s nothing drastic. Students are making a big deal out of nothing. In my opinion the rules over dress code are fine and easy to follow. [...] KAYLA STACY – Hoof Prints Staff Around lunch time on a Thursday during football season, 13 year old Blake Davis sat inside an athletic training room the size of a locker room. There were several 2×7 ft. long desks where Davis watched athletic training students do their pre-practice treatments. Feeling overwhelmed Davis knew right then he wanted to be an athletic trainer. [...] MADISON FINCH – Hoof Prints Staff Everyone has had something stolen from them at one time or another. I know this problem can’t be completely stopped, but I do believe it can be helped. By having locks on lockers, students would be able to keep any personal item in their lockers at all times. [...] KAYLA STACY – Hoof Prints Staff On Thursday, Jan. 14, the Lady Mustangs played Riverside Rebels. By the end of the first half, Mustangs were up by 10. The game didn’t get crazy until the second half. In the second half, Hayley Parker was actually bit by a Rebel. “We were tied up for a [...] Senior rings an important tradition KAYLA STACY – Hoof Prints Staff Senior rings have been around for a very long time. For at least 20 years, Balfour has been selling class rings at the school. It’s the one thing most students look forward to as they become juniors, and the one thing parents dread. [...] |
