Make Good Art

Art Club
By Jozlyn Bew Make good art.  It’s what Neil Gaiman hails.  And it’s the code that Ms. Hadley and the Federal Hocking Art Club has been adhering to for the past year, whether it’s pulling gifts together for Ukraine refugees, creating for the Governor’s Art Show, or just sketching cartoons in the classroom.  The somewhat (sadly) delayed Art Club year began with work for the FH Drama Club, who was performing A Christmas Carol for their winter show.

Community Supports Ukraine

Community Supports Ukraine

News
By Michael Nelson While we sit safe in our homes, Ukrainians have been displaced or forced from theirs’. The majority of survivors have chosen to seek refuge in surrounding countries. This mass exodus is a result of the Russian military’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

As of April 6, 2022, 6.5 million citizens have been displaced from their own homes to seek refuge in other parts of Ukraine-also being forced to leave their homes.

Alumni Spotlight
I am graduating from Ohio University's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. I started college undecided but changed my major at the end of my second year.

The Return of Community Service Day

The Return of Community Service Day

Around the School, News
By Joey Sampson What is Community Service day? Community Service day is, well, pretty self explanatory. The whole school goes around the community of Athens County and we give back to the community. Some of you might not know what community service day is because our school hasn't done it in almost 3 years because of Covid, and now we are finally going out to serve our community once again. Community service day might sound really boring or like a chore, but it's not as boring as it might sound. You might just think you would go around and pick…

They, She, He, or Xe?

They, She, He, or Xe?

Diverse Voices
By Jozlyn Bew Sexuality and gender identity has been a long debated subject tossed around in many ways, positive and negative. It’s gotten to the point where most are aware of the ever growing number of identities, names, and sexualities. However, people who aren’t as familiar with the LGBT+ community have had questions about the premise. How do I ask about pronouns? Are they too young to know what they are? Am I? Someone came out to me with a term I don’t understand. What does it mean?  Questions like these are more common than some may think. I will…
