By Nathan Rietz Varsity boys golf team members took third place, shooting a 608, in Round 2 of the City Meet Tuesday at Elmwood Golf Course. O’Gorman won the round with a 595 and leads by 12 after two rounds. Senior Will Grevlos and Michael Statz of O’Gorman were co-medalists Tuesday, each shooting a 71. Grevlos leads Bryce Hammer of O’Gorman by seven shots after two rounds. The third and final round of the
City Meet is Tuesday at Willow Run. Coach Nick Bortnem hopes the Warriors can continue to see success. “We are in the hunt,” Bortnem said. “We’re really close with Roosevelt right now. O’Gorman has a decent lead, but we’re capable of shooting a low number. We need to be a little more consistent with our scores. We just have to put in the time at practice to focus on the little things we need to do to get better. I think we can finish the year strong.”
Teachers dress-down for good cause While roaming the halls of WHS today, you may realize that staff members are dressed a bit differently. That is because today is the first day of the staff “Dress-Down” days. Staff members are encouraged to participate in monthly dress-down days as a fundraiser for senior cap and gown scholarships. This way seniors Hear me. . . in need are able to graduate in style without it being a financial Katelyn Smith burden. Dressdown days also are a great way for our awesome Warrior staff to come together and boost morale. I know that I am one that loves wearing comfy clothes to school, so I encourage teachers to help those in need while wearing their favorite relaxing clothing. It’s a win-
win situation for everyone. Staff members pay only $1 per dress down day to participate. Today’s theme is “Dress Like a PE Teacher,” so don’t be surprised when you show up to class and your teacher is dressed the way you would on a lazy day. Other dress-down themes this semester include “Warrior Wear Day” in September, “Conferences are Done, I am Tired!” in October, “I’m stuffed! Turkey Pants Day” following Thanksgiving and “Snow Day!” prior to holiday break. “Playoff Time! Football Fan Day” will take place in January, “Be My Valentine” to celebrate the season of love, “March Madness!” in March, “Alma Mater Monday” in April and finally “Bring on Summer!” I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see my teachers all dressed up for the themes, and that means all of you! This fun event is organized by senior class adviser Jamie Van Sloten. Senior Katelyn Smith is participating today, even though she is not a teacher!
98% of graduates pursue graduate studies or find employment in their chosen fields within six months of graduation.

Forecasting reduces deaths By Matt Pearce, Molly HennessyFiske and Evan Halper Los Angeles Times (TNS) NAPLES, Fla. — During a hurricane in 1900, a storm surge rose out of the Gulf of Mexico and annihilated Galveston, Texas, killing about 8,000 men, women and children.
Your green world In 1935, at least 408 people died when another cyclone slammed into the Florida Keys, many of them World War I veterans working on construction projects. And in 1957, Hurricane Audrey’s storm surges crashed into the coasts of Texas and Louisiana, killing 390 people. Hurricane Irma, which slammed into Florida over the weekend, was in a similar league as those storms in its sheer power, and the number of people living in vulnerable areas has only grown. So how has the number of deaths — in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as of Monday night — remained in single digits? The answer is the modern science of hurricane monitoring and preparation, which has saved countless lives as forecasting, satellite monitoring and government planning have dramatically improved in recent decades. “The number of people killed in hurricanes halves about every 25 years, in spite of the fact that coastal populations have been increasing, because of what we’re doing with forecasting,” said Hugh Willoughby, a professor of meteorology at Florida International University in Miami.
