“We all struggled with our spares,” Bowie said. “But I think otherwise we did well supporting each other. I can’t wait to see what state brings for us.” The boys varsity fell to West Central 35-15 with the high game and high series coming from senior Cameron Peterson with scores of 232 and 576. The girls junior varsity did not compete, due to West Central not having a full JV team. Freshman Brooklyn Peterson had the high game and series with 192 and 406. The JV boys won 22-3 and were led by freshman Jadyn Schumacher with a high game
of 219. Freshman Collin Lax had the high series of 548. Coach Troy Duffy thought the year was a good one, overall. “It was a bit of a disappointing end to the season,” Duffy said. “But it was a very good season with lots of great things and improvements made. I’m very proud of all the bowlers and their hard work through the year. I’m already looking forward to state on Friday. I think we have a great chance at winning both the boys and the girls divisions.” Next up is the state tournament Friday at Empire Bowl beginning at 9 a.m.

Field trip to medical school turns out to be educational This Tuesday morning was unlike any Tuesday morning I have ever experienced as my fellow Warriors from anatomy and physiology and I ventured out to Vermillion to tour the anatomy cadaver lab at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. As a future ‘Yote, I was excited about seeing “my” school, but wasn’t so thrilled about seeing or smelling the corpses. The trip started off with a Hear me. . . scavenger adventure in the nursing stimulation, with students Caroline Point trying to diagnose what was wrong with the human figure. It was really interesting to see where future nurses can practice working with patients and how the realistic mannequins talked to help it be more like a real-life situation. We then took a tour around the campus to get an inside scoop of what it’s like to be a student there. Next, my group explored the Gross Anatomy Cadaver Lab. Now, I was extremely nervous for this because I didn’t know how I would react to the dead bodies. I made sure to take extra precautions to not pass out in the lab, having a big breakfast that morning and mentally preparing myself for it. Surprisingly, though, it wasn’t that bad—I even touched some of the body parts they passed around. Overall, the experience made me understand the human body in a new way and appreciate those who made the decision to donate their bodies to science for our, and our future doctors’, medical education. Their thoughtfulness is appreciated. Senior Caroline Point wants to donate her body to science someday.

Massive robots build Boeing 777X By Dominic Gates The Seattle Times (TNS) EVERETT, Wash. — Inside a new building just west of Paine Field in this Seattle-area city, a team of young engineers recently gave outsiders the first glimpse at a technological advance critical to the future of airplane making in the Puget Sound region.
Technology Watch Robotic heads zipped along at great speed, whirling and repositioning at the end of each run, as their business end — which glowed like a line of fire — laid down thin strips of carbon fiber infused with epoxy resin. The manufacturing machines giving this dazzling performance, designed and built by Electroimpact, will be used to fabricate the giant composite wings of Boeing’s next jet, the 777X. Think of these machines as 30-foottall, 3-D printers, each costing tens of millions of dollars. Precisely placing layer upon layer of carbon-fiber strips infused with epoxy resin, one of these socalled Automated Fiber Placement machines builds up the 777X’s composite wing skin, producing a single piece 110 feet long and 20 feet across at the widest end near the fuselage. For initial, low-rate production, Boeing will need just two of each machine. But at peak production sometime in the 2020s, there could be half a dozen or more of each lined up inside the vast 777X wing facility.
