Student Class Hall Decor

Cowboys Going Up Against Scots

Jackson Jenkins and Kaden Allen • September 21, 2023

Ready for the big game?

We’re starting the homecoming week with halls decorated by some of the student body and Class Officers of each student class. Most halls mention the Ben Lomond High School football team which is the team the Cowboys are taking on Friday, September 15th. There’s a lot of energy and momentum towards the football team and how they play Friday.

The Freshman hall has the perspective of new students coming in from the middle school. Our Freshman President, Mason Hancock, said “The theme was student section chants and our rivals Ben Lomond, and their Scottish ancestry.” Their hall placed 3rd out of 4 different class halls.

The Sophomore class has something a little similar. They went with a little more aggressive route with quotes like, “Bury Ben Lomond” and “Slice the bagpipes” referring back to the Scots of Ben Lomond. Their hall placed first place.

Juniors went for a more home-oriented outlook, thinking more about Grantsville and encouraging the Cowboys. The junior president Abby Johnson said, “We wanted to cheer on our cowboys rather than focusing on the other team.” But she didn’t let too much slack, there are still some little sayings about Ben Lomond. They placed last.

Senior president Brylee Davis feels this is the best our hall has ever looked. “We have a small hall so it was a little easier to decorate,” said Brylee. Seniors wanted to cheer on the Cowboys and let them know they needed to win the game.

This life of a musician is fulfilling, it is what makes him as a person, it is the reason he gets out of bed, music is the reason he feels content, music is the reason he is the person he is now. Jackson jenkins is a senior at Grantsville High School, he is a part of the school marching band as well as his own band with some of the school faculty. He is a very accomplished musician and has the instruments to prove it. Jackson shreds, his live for guitar and the sharp feeling that he gets when he plays it comes back to when he was a little kid playing at the school of rock, a school specifically for the most gifted musicians, he plays his heart to the floor every day, and he doesn't stop because he feels there would be somethings missing The goals that he has for his music are nothing short of challenging, Jackson has been shredding every day for the past 8 years for at least an hour. He says he gets caught up in the moment of playing the guitar so much that it is usually more than an hour. When he is playing music he says it is like he's speaking another language, he feels like he is creating something new and better than he has before every time he plays. The sense of accomplishment he feels every time he even puts a finger on his guitar that is always kept nice and clean for the next time he wants to make the music language that he is creating.

He is always on a new adventure. On some kind of quest to do something challenging. He wakes up and seeks a new thrill. Kaden is a teenager here at Grantsville High School. He dresses with clothes he finds from different places and different sources. Everything has its story. Each item has its own tale. Like the Ocean Earth hat he wears. He attained the hat while in Australia. It’s been skydiving. Kaden has been to every corner of the world. He’s been to Australia to skydive and sail. Uruguay to hike on great trails. Africa to go on safaris, visit villages, gorilla trekking, needing to hike into jungles. He feels that doing these adventures fulfills his life and gives him meaning to his life. No matter what he has energy on these adventures, he says, “The energy just happens so I can keep on doing what I need to.” It’s a thrill everyday for Kaden Allen. Going from place to place, continent to continent. He travels onward and forward.
