Student Opinion Section
Friday the Thirteenth Spooks Students
By Rebecca Morgan
With the new year comes new people, new
opportunities, and of course a new calendar. Look
closely and you’ll see that this year we have been
blessed with not one, but two, Friday the Thirteenths.
Why is this day considered so special and
terrifying? How did it start? Is there any reasoning
behind it?
As for the last question, no one really
knows. Friday and thirteen are both traditionally
unlucky things, but it’s hard to tell when the two
coming together become a bad omen. Some sources,
such as The Telegraph website, claim the superstition
started in the Middle Ages, with biblical origins, but
it’s very likely that modern fear of the date began in
1907 with the publishing of Thomas W. Lawson’s
novel Friday the Thirteenth. Today, entire horror
franchises are built on this idea of Friday the 13th
being the most unlucky, but is there any basis for
this?
Surprisingly, yeah there is. According to
Livescience.com, the risk of getting in a car accident
increases by up to 52 percent. However, the data
itself is true, but the entire experiment was conducted
as a joke (because apparently this is what scientists
spend their time on). Scientists have stated that people being superstitious likely influences their behavior, so the bad luck of Friday the 13th is likely all in
our heads.
So how do Caseville students feel about the
day?
Many aren’t bothered by it at all.
Eagle Vision Staff:
Mariah Bolda, Anastasia Gibbard, Olivia Grates, Brandon Lecznar, Madison Miller, Rebecca Morgan, Sidney
Popp, Aleigha Powell, and Elizabeth Robinson.
Adviser: Mrs. Kathleen Tighe
“It’s just another day. I’m not superstitious
whatsoever,” said senior Ethan Robinson.
Senior Cole Wooster agreed, saying “It’s
just a regular day. I don’t get it.”
Some students just really have no opinion.
“Honestly, I don’t care,” freshman Kaylee
Bilicki said.
Others disagree pretty strongly. “I think
it’s scary as heck, and that’s when all the horror
movies come out, and there’s so many based on it
too,” freshman Rayne Avalos said. “It makes it
really hard to not be scared with that kind of stuff
surrounding you.”
When asked if anything unlucky had happened to her on a Friday the Thirteenth, sophomore
Timarie Kildow replied with, “My birth. My life
seems pretty unlucky so I’d say it’s pretty unlucky. I think if people think it’s unlucky it will
become unlucky.”
Sophomore Terry Jimpkoski, another student with a birthday falling on the 13th, had a differing perspective, saying that it was “good luck”
because of the fact that it coincides with his birthday. “I watch scary movies on that day, just to celebrate it, but nothing much really happens.”
Certain students opinions depend on where
they grew up.
Senior Francesco Torlai said, “We have a
different one. In Italy, it’s Friday the 17th, but I
don’t really believe in it. The 13th is actually a
lucky day in Italy.”
The faculty chimed in with their opinions
too.
“I had a teacher tell me once when I was in
school that he missed a ship while he was in the
Navy that took off on the thirteenth. That same
ship got torpedoed on the thirteenth of a different
month, so I tend to stay away from those things,”
Dean of Students Mr. Robert Gulash said.
English teacher Mrs. Kathleen Tighe said,
“No, I do not believe in it, because they’re just superstitions and Friday the 13th is no different than
Friday the 14th or Friday the 15th.”
No matter your opinion, it’s easy to get
caught up in the little superstitions in life and forget
what really matters: buying a school yearbook from
Mrs. Tighe for only $45.

Robotics Club Claims First
By Brandon Lecznar
The Caseville Vex Robotics club is new to Caseville students, but inexperience doesn’t appear to be a
problem for the club members. In fact, the club recently
participated in their first competition where they had tremendous success and claimed first place.
Caseville Robotics attended the competition with
two teams, A and B, each presenting their own robot.
The event was hosted at the Huron Area Technological
Center in Bad
Axe on December
3. Caseville’s
team A included
senior Ethan Robinson, sophomore
Benedikt Dobberstein, and junior Brandon Lecznar. Team B included juniors
Elizabeth Robinson and Mason
Lackie.
Both
teams were
coached by Mr.
Dru Leppek.
In total,
eighteen teams
attended the competition which began with 27 qualifying
matches to place teams for the finals. Each match consisted of two teams against two other teams in a battle
for points. Points are scored by how many large jacks
and bean bags are on either side of a fence separating the
teams of two when time runs out. The goal is to have as
few objects on your side as possible.
In the qualifying matches, Caseville’s team A
placed eighth and the B team placed thirteenth. For the
finals, the top six teams picked two other teams to join
them in their matches in the attempt for first.
Caseville’s team A ended up as the fifth picking
team because some of the other top teams joined together. Team B was picked up by the number one seed team.
Team A ended up placing fourth in the finals, but team B
went all the way to win first.
Now Caseville Robotics will attend the state
competition hosted at Michigan State University in
February.
For many teams, it was their first year participating in a Vex Robotics competition. This was due
to a grant that was provided to the Thumb area
schools.
“Vex is a fairly new program and as long as
we continue to work hard, I think we will continue to
succeed,” said senior Ethan Robinson.
Club members were pleasantly surprised by
the excitement and rush of
competition.
“There was a lot of
energy and people that were
really excited about what
they were doing. It was one
of the most exciting competitions in any sport that I’ve
ever been to,” said Ethan.
It made everything
even better when they took
first place so soon after just
picking up the program.
“We didn’t know
what to expect so it was a
great surprise to take first
place,” commented junior
Mason Lackie.
Club members also
saw the competition as a
way to get ideas for future creations.
Mason continued, “With the state competition coming up, we have a lot to think about. Seeing
which designs worked will help guide the design for
our next robot.”
Overall, club members are excited and optimistic for the state competition but know that the
competition will only get tougher.
Coach Mr. Leppek stated, “It is going to be a
lot tougher competition. We have a lot of work to do
to create a competitive robot.”
Junior Elizabeth Robinson also commented,
“I think States will be a lot of fun and I hope we can
be competitive with hard work.”
With their victory, Caseville Robotics has
gained valuable experience that they hope will guide
them for future competitions.

To Swear or Not To Swear
By Madison Miller
Swearing seems to be a very controversial topic in
and out of schools. To some it’s just words and to others it’s
a whole new ball game.
Many articles report that people young and old who
swear a lot are lazy, have a limited vocabulary, and lack self
-control. Other articles, however, maintain that swearing is
actually a sign of intelligence and has nothing to do with the
limitations of ones personal vocabulary.
Quite a bit of research shows that people who swear
are more likely to have high IQ’s and are more fluent speakers in their everyday life.
So what reason do we have for this type of language?
“I think people swear to express emotions. For most
people it’s a part of their everyday language and they don’t
see it as “bad words.” Sometimes it gets excessive just because some people's sentences consist of every other word
being a swear word,” said sophomore Chance Shippey.
“It’s not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.
I think it’s just a part of everyday language,” said junior
Rachel Kessler.
Sometimes swearing is used to express emotions or
substitute words. Other times people do it just because they
can.
“They’re just words and unless they’re used offensively towards someone, they can be used to release your
anger. Also, people who swear are statistically more honest.
And it makes you sound cooler,” said sophomore
Timarie Kildow.
Sophomore Michael Kelly added, “It releases
anger and it makes you feel better because it’s a way
to express your emotions. It’s like when you get hurt
you swear to make yourself feel better.”
Adults seem to agree that swearing is used
too much from people of all ages and that it needs to
be cut down.
“I think swearing is used way too often with
people in and out of school, myself included. Many
people nowadays don’t even realize that they’re
swearing because they’re so used it hearing it and
speaking it,” said Dean of Students Mr. Robert Gulash.
Administrative Assistant Mrs. Lisa Karl added, “Swearing is a bad habit to kick among all ages. I
think everyone is so used to hearing it and saying it
that they don’t realize it’s swearing. Sometimes I
hear these things in the hallway and I yell ‘Hey, you
can’t say that!’ and they go ‘What?’ because they
don’t even realize that they’re saying it.”
So what do you think? Do swear words mean
you aren’t as smart? Or do they mean you’re even
smarter than others? Are swear words really bad
words or are they just a normal part of everyday language?
New Year Means a New Beginning
By Anastasia Gibbard
Happy New Year! New Years is the time to break
bad habits or start good ones. New Year’s first celebration
was 4,000 years ago. Julius Caesar was the first to declare
January first the New Year's holiday.
New Years is a time to set new goals for yourself.
Senior Dorian Leese said, “My goals for 2017 are
to maintain a good relationship with my girlfriend, move
down to Detroit and get deeper in the music scene, but
definitely not better myself.”
Freshman Jessica Nugent said, “I want to gain
better friends, have my grades go up, and lose things that
distract me.”
Freshman Steven Wilkins said, “I want to shoot a
really big deer, and I want to lose my house because
there's too much taxes.”
Freshman Bayley McIlhargie said, “I want to gain
getting more chicken.”
Junior Mason Lackie said, “I want to drop
my procrastination, and want to gain more muscle
and a good SAT score.”
Sophomore Kaylin Ewald said, “I want to be
better as a person, work on my attitude, just work on
myself. Some losses I want are all the negativity out
of my life, and less bad things to happen to me.”
Mr. Michael Shilakes said, “I want to gain
being more accepting of myself.”
Every New Years there are traditions people
may do, like watching the ball drop with family at
home, going to New York to watch the ball drop,
having parties with friends and even family.

Valentines Day Sucks
By Olivia Grates
While some people go to dinner, buy flowers at
the last second, and send candy to their significant other,
others sit home eating ice cream and watching Dirty
Dancing and Pretty Woman for the eighth time in a row.
Many relationships ride on this one day that is supposed
to signify the bond and love between two people.
But what about the people who will not be showered with kisses and ‘I love you” texts? What about the
people who don't have someone to buy them massive
stuffed animals and ridiculous amounts of chocolate? For
them, Valentine’s Day sucks.
On any given Valentine's Day, it seems single
people pretend like it doesn’t exist. Many do absolutely
nothing special on the holiday.
“It's really just another regular day. The day after
I sometimes go buy chocolate,” commented sophomore
Kaylin Ewald.
The day of love also brings about the age-old
question of: does love at first sight exist? Nine of the 10
people who were interviewed firmly believed that to love
someone you must first get to know them. The tenth per-

son had a different look at the situation.
“Of course love at first sight exists! The
first time I saw my dog, Diesel, I fell in love,” remarked junior Kylie Bilkie.
For many teenagers, love is foreign aspect,
only being talked about in old books and rarely
seen in their age range. Many girls grow up with
the idea that someone named Prince Charming will
be the love of their life. When they get older, that
idea drastically changes.
“When you can laugh with someone, and
you're not worried about being yourself, everything
just feels right. That’s how you know you're in
love,” commented freshman Mary Lohr.
Unlike single men and women, couples in
relationships seemed to have a certain twinkle in
their eye when talking about their significant other.
“You know that you are in love when you
look at each other, and your chest starts to get tight
and you feel like you're going to explode. Every
word that you wanted to say seems to vanish,” remarked junior Joe Ales, lovingly.
Joseph Ales and Carly Simmons, one of
the very rare long-lasting couples in school,
seemed to have Valentines still in the works.
“I've never really spent Valentine's Day
with anyone, but this year, Joe and I, we are actually going to do something,” said junior Carly Simmons.
Some people enjoy being single, like
Kaden Geilhart, a freshman who said that “ being
single is awesome.” Kaden enjoys knowing that he
doesn’t have to worry about Valentine's Day because he is too busy worrying about “the perks of
being single.”
Other high schoolers have great hatred
when it comes to being single.
“It sucks because when all your friends
have boyfriends, and then they go and hang out
with them instead of you,” remarked Kylie Bilkie.
Whether you hate the holiday or not, Valentine's Day is still one of the most anticipated days
of the year as people rush around to find the perfect
gift for their special someone. It is still a day that is
meant to be spent with those you love, and if you're
like me and hold a special place in your heart for
Patrick Swayze, then it's also okay to sit home, eat
too much ice cream and pretend he is your very
own Prince Charming.

Students Advise Their Younger Selves
By Mariah Bolda
After going through trials, experiencing big moments, and fighting failures, we learn lessons that would
have been beneficial to our younger selves.
Everyone explains to teenagers that after we make
our own mistakes we learn from them. Students at Caseville
confessed what they have personally learned from their
high school years.
As a senior, many of the students can quickly look
back at freshman year and reflect on the moments they wish
they can change.
“I would tell myself to have decided what I want in
life earlier, so then I wouldn’t have made the mistakes as I
did,” commented senior Noah Kessler.
Although we often wish we could go back and tell
ourselves to do things differently, the trials, big moments,
and failures we experienced caused us to be who we are at
this time. Without all those experiences, one’s life would
look different.
Senior Dorian Leese, who recognized how events
are all correlated together, explained that he would tell himself “to do the same exact things over again.”
A favorite topic that came up through reflecting on
their high school years was the amount of effort they put -or didn’t put -- into their schooling, athletics, and relationships.
“I would tell myself that I need to focus more on
school. Not caring isn’t cool,” explained sophomore Madison Miller.
“Simply, work harder at everything,” commented
junior Carly Simmons.
“Focus more on your studies rather than your
friends because later in life you will regret the decisions
you made with those friends,” explained senior Jonah Ruth.
As students go further into their education, they
learn that to succeed there needs to be a lot of extra work.
Some, who want to excel at everything they can, have experienced first-hand that all the effort put in take away the
amount of time they get to relax.
“Get some sleep while you still can. You’ll miss it,
I promise,” commented junior Sidney Popp.
“I would say read more books, play fewer video
games, and make more friends,” said sophomore Terry
Jimpkoski.
Through all of the trials, some people manage to
become someone they are not.
If she was able to turn back time, junior Rachel Kessler explained she would remind herself to “stay humble” and avoid those types of incidents.
Senior Cassidy McClelland explained that
“because most people at that age want to change who
they are to fit in, I would tell myself don’t be afraid
to be yourself .”
Although we cannot go back and give ourselves this advice, a first-year student might look up
to us, and then we can provide them with this advice
that took us so long to figure out ourselves.
Internet Influences
Students
By Sidney Popp
The internet has changed its users in
many ways, both positive and negative. Our
country has been home to many races, ethnicities, and religions, and has become more diverse
through the acceptance of different sexualities,
genders, and sexes… This is partially due to the
internet. People are able to communicate with
others, and discover new ideologies with the help
of numerous social media platforms.
Additionally, many people have a renewed self-confidence from the anonymity of the
internet. Those are good things, but there are also
negative aspects of the internet-- our students
have experienced a definite obsession with the
internet, and some have become a lot more introverted because of it.
Caseville’s high school students have
been using a variety of social media platforms
that have a huge effect on the development of
their personalities and ideologies. It’s important
that we celebrate our generation’s growing
awareness and diversity, as well as acknowledge
the downfalls of being glued to our phones all
day.
Caseville’s most used social media platforms are Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.

Internet Influences Students, continued from Page 6
“I use Instagram the most because I like a lot of the fashion that is on there. It also has a lot of memes,”
said sophomore Madison Miller. “I think the app has made me focus on what I look like, and I take care of myself
more.”
Many users of Instagram have claimed to have had a self-confidence boost, as it runs on compliments of
people and their life experiences.
“I care about how I look more,” said sophomore Kiersten Arntz. “Getting compliments from people on
Instagram has definitely made me act nicer.”
Many students claim that the internet has helped them channel emotions, and treat others equally.
Sophomore Dalton Shippey has a Youtube account, and uses it to “learn new things about almost anything.”
He also claims that the website has helped him, “Relax and treat other people good.”
Another major platform Caseville students use is Twitter, which was primarily made for social networking in business and personal relationships. Students find sanctuary in personal accounts, where they can post
whatever they want anonymously.
Junior Olivia Grates said, “I use Twitter all the time. I’m more open on there than I would be on other
platforms, or in real life, because none of my family is on there following me. I feel free to vocalize my opinions.”
This generation enjoys the anonymity of the internet and because only a small group of students use Tumblr, it is arguably the most anonymous internet platform in Caseville. Students agree that Tumblr can be the most
and least intellectual of the social media platforms, depending on who you’re following.
Sophomore Becca Morgan said, “Tumblr has made me more conscious of how I treat other people. There
are millions of different viewpoints on Tumblr-- different races, sexualities, religions all communicating with
each other… I’ve definitely adopted an ideology that’s less exclusive.”
In general, social media has presented a vast assortment of opinions and knowledge that leaves our students with a lot to think about.
“I’m definitely more in tune to what is going on in the world,” claimed freshman Jessica Nugent.
The internet has presented people the opportunity to connect with others from all over the world, which
gives young people a chance to understand different cultures-- what could be bad about the internet when it does
such great things for the younger generation’s development?
“People are more inclined to text. Also, students tend to Google things instead of actually doing the research themselves,” said history teacher Mr. Kevin Parker.
The internet has effectively broken people's communication skills, in
that they’re more willing to communicate in writing than verbally. Students
have even confessed that they’re aware of how much time they spend on their
social media platforms, instead of talking to people in real life.
Freshman Bailey McIlhargie admits, “I’m on my phone all the time.”
People being glued to their phones has taken away from social interaction, and driven people to introversion.
“I’m more quiet now,” confesses sophomore Olivia Speare.
The internet has done great things for our world-- this generation is
more accepting of the many forms of diversity, and definitely more outgoing
(at least, in a virtual sense). Students definitely gain something from the internet, but consider this: are they gaining more from experiencing life through
the internet than they are by putting their phones down and enjoying life in
person?

Are Curfews Really Necessary?
By Elizabeth Robinson
As teenagers, we do not have all the rights of full
adulthood yet. We have certain restrictions that are
placed on us.
One such restriction is the curfew, placed by the
government or parents. The town of Caseville has a curfew for minors under the age of 17. They should not be
in public between 11:00 pm and 5 am,
although there are some exceptions.
When it comes to parents,
time and flexibility varies from student to student. Are curfews important
to have at all?
Math teacher Mr. Dru Leppek
certainly thinks so. When his children
were in high school, he gave them a
curfew of 11 pm. He said, “I think
that curfews are important for minors
to have, but should change when you
become an adult. Curfews are important for kids to have because part
of growing up is learning routine, and
curfews nudge kids into a routine.”
One reason parents use curfews is to know that
their children will be home safe. If their children are late,
then parents will know to worry.
Sophomore Dallas Matatall, who has a curfew of
7:30, believes it is important to have a curfew “because
parents won't know where you are if you’re out past curfew.”
Sleep has a direct connection with learning.
When somebody does not sleep very long during the
night, it definitely has an effect on the day after. This is
another reason some parents place curfews.
Junior Kylie Bilkie said curfews are helpful
“because then less people will be sleeping in class.” She
said about her own curfew, “on the weekends, it’s 10:30
or 11, but on weekdays it’s 9:30.”
Freshman Bailey McIlhargie agrees with Kylie.
She said teenagers should have a curfew “if it's a school
night, so you have enough energy to get through the day
and not be sleeping in class.”
Some students believe that it depends on
the situation.
Junior Kevon Taylor does not have a curfew. However he thinks students should have a curfew, “if they're going to parties... so they don’t stay
out until three o’clock in the morning then have to
go to school the next day.”
Kevon also believes that
students should not have curfews
when it comes to sports.
Not all of the students think that curfews should be in place.
Senior Noah Kessler said he
does not think that curfews are effective “because if you don't let kids do
what they want, they’ll go against
you and that causes problems.” Then
he added, “I don’t have a curfew.”
Sophomore Kiersten Arntz
believes that curfews are not all that
important. She said, “They can be
(necessary) if they’re reasonable, but as long as you
keep your parents up to date on where you are, it
should be fine.”
Some believe that curfews should be a punishment, not an everyday rule.
Junior Joe Ales does not have a curfew because “as long as my dad knows where I am and
what I’m doing, he doesn’t care. The only reason
you’d have a curfew is if your parents didn’t trust
you. If they have a curfew, it is for a reason.”
Sophomore Terry Jimpkoski also believes
that curfews should not be the standard. He said that
curfews should be enforced “for some students: the
ones who drink and stay up all night.”
Although students disagree about the necessity of curfews, parents will continue to choose
what they think is best for their child.

Caseville Welcomes New Teacher
By Elizabeth Robinson
Change can be scary, although sometimes it
is for the better. Students returned from winter break
to discover a big change in the science classroom -- a
new teacher!
Claiming the high school science room, Ms.
Sarah Jordan teaches physics, honors physics, life
skills, biology, and physical science.
Ms. Jordan is originally from this area and knows it
well. “I graduated from Lakers,” she said.
After graduating from high school, Ms. Jordan went to Michigan State University and received
degrees in environmental geosciences and environmental economics and policy. Her original plan was
not to teach; she wanted to work for an environmental cleanup firm.
Ms. Jordan said, “A lot of people told me in
high school to go into teaching, but I didn’t believe
them. Then while looking for a job, I was subbing
and coaching different science groups. I really enjoyed that and knew teaching was for me.”
After her revelation, she went to Saginaw
Valley State University to get a degree in integrated
science so she could teach.
Teaching at Caseville is not her first job. Ms.
Jordan said, “I worked as a part time parapro at Bad
Axe High School. I was in charge of the online classes. I was there for four-and-a-half years.”
New Year’s, continued from Page 4
Junior Mason Lackie said, “I usually
gather with family from Detroit and we watch
the ball drop.”
Sophomore Kaylin Ewald said, “I like
to be with family. That's the right way to start
the New Year.”
It's your time to make yourself better
by having new gains and losses for your new
year. It's time to open the blank book and put
your own words on it. The first chapter begins
on New Years.
Ms. Jordan has very high hopes for the rest of
the year. She said her goal is to “present science in a
very diverse way to get many students excited about
it.” She is really looking forward to “getting to know
everyone and making science as fun as possible.”
Moving to a new place can be scary, but Ms.
Jordan said the people in Caseville have been “really
nice. Very welcoming.” She also said the students are
“a good group of kids.”
Ms. Jordan said her favorite thing in all of
Caseville is “the doughnuts at Walts. The maple topping. That’s where it’s at.”
Ms. Jordan enjoys many activities outside of
school. “I really like cooking and baking,” she said.
Students can look forward to exciting times in
science classes with their new teacher.
