Sixty-one juniors, two seniors to join honor society tonight Induction to feature two special guest speakers By Jared Gully, Jenson Amdahl, Isaiah Feterl, Maham Shah, Madi Forseth and Libby Nachtigal ational Honor Society (NHS) members at WHS will hold an induction ceremony for new members at 6 p.m. tonight in the auditorium. New junior and a few new senior inductees will receive their NHS honor certificates tonight. All senior members will get a rose and their NHS honor cords that they will wear during the graduation ceremony June 5. Faculty NHS leader Scott Guse said he is looking forward to honoring outstanding WHS students tonight. “Tonight is a celebration of amazing kids who found some amazing balance within the four pillars within the NHS traditions,” Guse explained. “The extraordinarily large group is symptomatic of (principal Jamie) Nold’s outstanding leadership over the past years. Not one of our seniors who were inducted last year failed to uphold their GPA, and the junior class is one of the biggest classes we have had.” Tonight’s event will also feature guest speakers state representative Matthew J. Wollmann, a former Marine and the second youngest person to serve in the state legislature, and Tony Fiegen, a South Dakota State alum and current University of South Dakota medical student.

“They have already accomplished so much in so little time,” Guse said of the speakers. “This highlights the message, ‘you can accomplish a lot in a short amount of time.’” Senior NHS member Jacob Skogstad is excited for tonight’s event. “I’m excited to receive the cord and I’m honored to be a part of the alumni!” NHS new inductees include seniors Alec Kray and Alexis Ramharter and juniors Owen Alvine, Alexander Barron, Sarah Bell, Jade Beolin, Kaitlyn Bulick, Morgan Carl, Annie Farmer, Josh Garry, Shayna Goens, Matthew Heeden, Zach Heupel, Ryan Koch, Lily Larsen, Erika Lehan, Johnathon Loofe, Jonah Nelson, Aaron Oakland, Krista Olson, Jacob Peterson, Sydney Raabe, Sydney Rodman, Allison Schenkel, Lincoln Shafer, Jenna Siganos, Jillian Stamp, Joel Swenson, Amie Uithoven, Seth VanderBraak, Madison Warner, Lucas Wienk, Lauren Zimbeck, Feven Aregay, Nolan Behr, Taylor Bonestroo, Noah Brown, Landon Carda, Ariana Ellis, Kaitlyn Fischer, Isaac Goeman, Feven Goitom, Carson Herbert, Kelsi Kearney, Zechava Kreiselman, Ryan Le, Abbygail Lint, Skylar Moen, Hailey Nold, Amber Obenauer, Cesar Palacios, Calvin Poderzay, Kadie Rozemboom, Liam Schneider, Maham Shah, Krishika Siwakoti, Morgan Small, Matt Stoel, Daria Turgeon, Emily VanBockern, Amy Walker, Jordan Weidner and Grace Wylie.
Tennis team defeats BV 6-3 indoors By Carter Keller and Erin Thompson
Boys Tennis
Varsity boys tennis team members had different playing conditions Monday as play with the Brandon Valley Lynx was moved indoors to the Huther Family Match Pointe facility by rain. The Warrior varsity won 6-3, playing 10-point pro-sets. Sub-varsity matches were cancelled. Coach Jillian Hurley said it was nice to be able to play the matches.
“It was good playing indoors because of outside conditions,” Hurley said. “But we had to adjust to playing inside.” The Warriors got singles wins from No. 1 junior Elliot Hartwig 10-1, No. 3 senior Carter Huber 10-7, No. 5 seventh grader Chris Harris 10-6 and No. 6 junior Ethan Hays 10-4. In doubles, Hartwig and freshman Tory Shafer won at No. 1 and Huber and Harris won at No. 2. Hurley was proud of how the day went, as a whole.
FOLLOW US, WARRIORS!
“I thought it went well,” she said. “It was a good match to test us.”
Baseball
Varsity and JV baseball games with O’Gorman at Harmodon were cancelled by rain Monday, but the freshman/sophomore team traveled to Mitchell for a pair of games with the Kernels. WHS won game one 7-5, and lost game two 10-0. The freshman/sophomore team is now scheduled to play a make-up doubleheader at 1 p.m. today in Harrisburg.

An inspiration to all...
Senior Caryn Hazard named Academic All-Star By Kendall McMahon One of WHS’s most outstanding members of the Class of 2016 has a strong love for dogs that started when she was young. As a result, senior Caryn Hazard is hoping to pursue her dream to become a veterinarian after graduation and help animals in need of her assistance. Hazard recently had the honor of being named an “Argus Leader Academic All-Star” by the Sioux Falls newspaper. She was highlighted in a special section of the paper April 24 along with 11 other high school students from around the region. The Argus Leader profile that accompanied her honor profiled Hazard as an involved student participating in activities including varsity volleyball, the Serve and Learn Student Association (SALSA) and chemistry club at WHS, as well as a volunteer Feature with Meals on Wheels and the South Dakota Special Olympics outside of WHS, all while obtaining a 4.06 GPA and on top of all that scoring a 30 on her ACT. Hazard plans to continue her schooling career by attending the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology next fall and majoring in chemical engineering as the first step to becoming the best animal doctor she can possibly be. It doesn’t stop there, however, she will also be playing for the Hardrockers Division II volleyball team. Hazard’s passion to help animals in need, participate in extracurricular activities, volunteer and take six advanced placement classes, along with her generally outstanding academic achievements, all led to her choice as an academic all star.

History.com (TNS) On May 10, 1869, the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads met in Promontory, Utah, and drove a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connected their railroads. This made transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S. history. No longer would western-bound travelers need to take the long and dangerous journey by wagon train, and the West would surely lose some of its wild charm with the new connection to the civilized East.

Since at least 1832, both Eastern and frontier statesmen realized a need to connect the two coasts. It was not until 1853, though, that Congress appropriated funds to survey several routes for the transcontinental railroad. The actual building of the railroad would have to wait even longer, as NorthSouth tensions prevented Congress from reaching an agreement on where the line would begin. Harsh winters, staggering summer heat, Indian raids and the lawless, rough-and-tumble conditions of newly settled western towns made conditions for the Union Pacific laborers–mainly Civil War veterans of Irish descent– miserable. The overwhelmingly immigrant Chinese work force of the Central Pacific also had its fair share of problems, including brutal 12-hour work days laying tracks over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. On more than one occasion, whole crews would be lost to avalanches, or mishaps with explosives would leave several dead. For all the adversity they suffered, the Union Pacific and Central Pacific workers were able to finish the railroad–laying nearly 2,000 miles of track–by 1869, ahead of schedule and under budget. Journeys that had taken months by wagon train or weeks by boat now took only days.
