Many of you have probably noticed the bearded man at the beginning of first hall, but do you actually know him? After interviewing Tim Ferguson, one of the newest members of the science department, I have come to understand that he is just the type of quirky character that Lloyd needs. Musically talented, and an avid comic book collector, Mr. Ferguson is way more than meets the eye.
Starting out as a Skyline employee, Ferguson then advanced to tutoring and banking before landing a job at Conner High School.
“Working in food, in my opinion, should be a requirement for everyone. It teaches humility and how to deal with complaints,” explained Ferguson
Five years after dealing with Conner, he decided that Lloyd was the place for him. With no particular reason for becoming a Juggernaut, Ferguson has shared that he is quite content with our “unique” vibe and appreciates the friendliness and accessibility in which he receives.
“I LOVE what I teach (science). It’s such a great way to look at and understand the world around us.”-Ferguson
With such a passion for his career, Ferguson seems to have only one major complaint: grading papers.
“Not because of the quality of the work that I get, but because I find myself so busy preparing for lessons and actually teaching, student work stacks up and I get overwhelmed,” said Ferguson
This reminds us that teachers have just as a hard of a time as we do.
Outside of school, Ferguson is a part-time employee at his church, Immanuel United Methodist Church. He leads music on Sunday mornings, and he even helps out with the youth group on Sunday nights. I was also proud to learn that he collects/reads comics, sings, and plays numerous musical instruments including the guitar, banjo, and mandolin.
As an added bonus for my interview, I have been able to uncover the reason for his infamous beard.
“The beard is the result of necessity and laziness. Necessity because it keeps my face warm and laziness because I don’t have to shave. In previous years, I’d grow it out in the fall/winter and shave in the summer, but this summer I decided to keep it and see how long I can grow it before my wife makes me shave it. So far so good! I have noticed a lot of attention about my beard. As a person who has one, this has fascinated me. I get a lot of questions about it and I’m happy to answer them,” explained Ferguson.

Tough Loss Propels Lloyd Football Forward
By: Brent Christiansen
This past week, the Juggernauts suffered their first loss of the season after beginning the season a tremendous 4-0. The strong Lloyd team knocked off Gallatin County to push their winning streak to four on homecoming night before suffering their first loss of the season to an always strong Newport Central Catholic team.
The Lloyd team had an extremely strong showing against a large Gallatin County team, winning with a final score of 44-12. The Juggernauts were on a role offensively, giving the ball out to all its playmakers and pumping out big play after big play. Senior Hayden Molitor and Sophomore Lashunn Townsend each had long touchdowns in the first quarter, along with Sophomore running back Justin Durham pounding in one from close after another long run by Townsend. Junior wide receiver Charles Gaines had over 80 yards receiving, helping move the Juggernauts down the field through the air. History was also made this night in the kicking game when Senior kicker Sergio Gutierrez beat the field goal record by hammering in a staggering 49 yarder.
The next week verse Newcath did not quite go as planned for the Juggs. Despite great plays by some Lloyd playmakers, such as receivers Charles Gaines and Zack Riddle, mental mistakes killed Lloyd, with the game ending in a deceiving score of 28-0. The game was highly contested compared to past years and was a tough game for both teams.
Despite this loss the Juggs are still sitting at an outstanding 4-1 record. The team propelled by this loss and is eager to show what it can do in the remaining district matchups against Newport, Bishop Brossart, and Holy Cross, who they play this Friday for senior night. Come out and support Lloyd in this always entertaining game. GO JUGGS!!

IHOP Gives Gift of the Centuries
By: Alex Mahoney
Have you ever heard the age old question, pancakes or waffles? While others bicker over which is better, let’s all just agree that those who chose the buttermilk pancakes from the great land of IHOP are the greatest amongst all choices.
While some people would argue with me and say that the worst possible thing is pancakes, let alone ones from IHOP, we can all agree that they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Waffles have crevices in them that inverts inward for what? To hold the butter or syrup some people may like to use on them, it is completely and utterly disgusting. The pancakes have the fluff and fullness that a breakfast or to some a dinner food may have.
Waffles are just lies that you can easily poke holes through them and their stories, nothing about them is enjoyable, you get a crunch that can disgust you thoroughly if you’re looking for a fluffy, bite of a cloud. The pancakes have always been the right choice, nothing has ever been able to compete.
So let me ask you, would you rather take a bite from a stale cracker, or a bite from a heavenly cloud?

Artist Spotlight
By Lauren Trevor
This past September a number of talented artists participated in ComicCon. One of those artists is a current student of good ole Lloyd Memorial. Known by several different aliases, like Fox and Ink, senior Makenna Baughman has truly made a name for herself around Lloyd’s art world. Drawing for as long as she can remember, her art style has developed and become unique. She says that she first began drawing dinos, but today, she enjoys drawing fantasy, with a particular interest in the old folk lore of the werewolf. As for media, she says that she prefers digital artwork, but does paint and sculpt on occasion.
When asked if she planned to continue and create a career from her skills, she tells us that she would like to become a concept artist – an artist who designs and creates concepts of characters for movies, comics, et cetera.
“If you want to be an artist never give up and do get out of your comfort zone sometimes,” she advised aspiring artists.

Lounging Around!
By: Andrew Stookey
Are you sick of the dirty, loud cafeteria? Are you finally getting annoyed by the freshmen acting immature and clapping every time something happens, such as someone dropping their tray or a three second fight? Need a new, hip place to hang out with your friends during lunch? Well, I have good news for you!
The student lounge was created last year by students themselves, including yours truly. It features many exciting resources, and is sure to make your lunch period better! All it takes is a special requirement, such as being a fall athlete or being on the honor roll.
Are you a fan of sports? Because if you are, then the student lounge is for you! Ping pong tables and a foosball table for your entertainment! Want to just sit around like the lazy bum you are? There are couches and chairs, and for the true homeless experience of all, there are benches!
According to the students, the lounge is fabulous.
“It’s never crowded, and definitely fun. It’s a nice break from all the kids in the cafeteria,” says junior Jakob Turner.
Finally, the most important thing of all…… Are you ready? Microwaves! Yup, two of them. You can now cook Ramen at school and chill in an environment made for people of your higher status.
This is the student lounge, and remember, what happens in the lounge, stays in the lounge. Welcome home.

Goldstar vs. Skyline
By: Aryan Overstreet and Hayley Osbourne
Unless you`re Mrs. Lawson, you crave the taste for Cincinnati chili. There are many different factors that play into the perfect chili restaurant. The question of whether Skyline or Goldstar is better is constantly left lingering. Some of us are true advocates for one, but others ride the fence between the two. Some of deciding factors are:
Skyline`s runny, spicy chili, harder buns, and baby fries
along with
Goldstar`s sweeter chili, bigger fries, smiley face cookies, fresher cheese, and phenomenal milkshakes.
Feedback from our peers:
“It`s not even a question” a true skyline lover, Jesse McLean.
“Skyline shouldn`t even be in the picture” Anthony Wilson.
“That`s easy: Goldstar.” Stookey
“I`m not allowed to answer” younger Stookey.
“Skyline 3-ways, Goldstar conies” the fence rider, James Henry Viox X
“Chili supreme level (skyline)” Brent Michael Christensen I
“Skyline because I`ve never eaten at Goldstar” Habsa Dia
“Gold Star, once you really try it, it's hard to go back.” Anonymous
“The only reason I`m dating my boyfriend is because his parents own a Goldstar” Gwen Watson. #squad
Apparently the question will continue to linger in our minds. Personally we believe that everyone who prefers Skyline needs new taste buds, but that isn`t “none of our business”.

Seniors Go Out With a Bang on Senior Night!
By: Brent Christiansen
Another fall sports season is beginning to wrap up and that means saying goodbye to another group of senior Jugg’s, and this group was a good one. While the senior football class leaving was is one of the smallest in recent years, it is a quality group made up of several three year starters in Quarterback Hayden Molitor, Receiver Zack Riddle, Linemen Bryan Larkin and Brent Christiansen, and Kicker Sergio Gutierrez, along with first year players Trevor Butts, Desmond Harris, and Jaquan Evans, all influential to the team in their respective ways.
After a three year battle of losing senior nights, this year was a complete difference. The team, led by senior leadership, and underclassmen trying to get their senior teammates one last win, stomped out the Holy Cross Indians in what is usually a much closer contest, with the final score ending up 50 to 20. In the blowout Senior Quarterback led an energized Lloyd offensive attack racking up 194 yards, and 4 touchdowns, one of the touchdowns going to Senior Receiver Zack Riddle. Junior Receiver Charles Gaines, Sophomore Running Back/Receiver Lashunn Townsend, Junior Running Back Brad Creech, and Sophomore Running Back Justin Durham all also had good games, each posting a touchdown, which is just a testament to how bright the future is for the Juggs. Seniors Brent Christiansen and Bryan Larkin led the strong Juggernaut line, along with fellow lineman Andrew Wallace, Andrew Fields, Zack Clark, and Center Jakob Turner snapping.
This past Saturday the Juggs thrashed a Bishop Brossart team which came out surprisingly strong, ending with a final score of 49 to 28. Sophomore Running Back Justin Durham’s performance was the story of the day, ending with a final total of 234 rushing yards, and 4 touchdowns. His rushing efforts were simply unstoppable as the stat sheet shows. Junior D1-bound Receiver Charles Gaines also had a good day, giving a toss to Durham for one of the touchdowns, as well as having a tremendous catch for a touchdown.

One Last Home stand
By: James Viox
Last Thursday night The Lady Juggernauts took their home court one last time for the season. For most of the athletes on the volleyball team they will be able to encounter more home games in their future high school career, but for Payton Brown (Senior) this was her last go around.
Payton has played all 4 years for the Jugg’s and she was left a tough battle for her last home game against the Dixie Colonels. Not only are the colonels a very talented team, but this game was also a district game which rose the stakes even more. The Colonels came out red hot in the first set, but the Juggernauts were able to match up against them. Eventually the colonels were able to power past the Jugg’s and take the first set, but that didn’t hold them down. The Jugg’s were hungry after the first set defeat and came out ready to play in the second set. The Juggernauts needed only 4 more points to even the game at one set apiece, but slipped at the end and allowed the colonels to take another set. One more set remains and the Juggernauts were feeling defeat approaching quickly. The Colonels came out once again, but this time they were ready to end it. The Juggernauts tried their best, but Dixie’s Height and experience advantage was too much for the young Juggernaut team.
After the game, senior, Payton Brown states, “It’s been a long ride, but it was worth it. I love the game and couldn’t imagine not playing. I’m really going to miss my teammates and playing by them every game. They’ve really helped me improve my skills and we`re just a great group of encouraging and uplifting girls. It’s really bittersweet that I’m playing my last home game tonight, but I’m extremely grateful for the memories and experiences that I’ve made”.

Special Effects Look For Under $50
By Emily Phillips
Tired of using oatmeal to create a chunky, bloodlike wound for Halloween? Want something that looks more like the real deal? Most items for crafting a believable cut, wound, or gash can be found at local Halloween stores, home, or (my personal favorite place for materials) the Theatre House in Covington. Become a ghoul this holiday by following this guide to special effect stardom.
Materials (Price may vary with quality and quantity):
-Scar/Nose wax: $7-16
-Rigid Collodion (or just regular collodion): $8
-Paints (red, black, blue, etc.): $8
-Popsicle sticks: $3
-Q-tips: $1-2
-Fake blood: $5-7
-Paint brushes (small, childlike ones): $3
-Liquid latex: $3
Even if you haven’t heard of some of these materials, they are actually quite accessible. Many of these are, in fact, professionally used and will give you a stunning result. Now, time to piece it together.
1.) Use a Q-tip to apply a thin layer of liquid latex to the area you want your wound. This will allow the wax to stick better to the skin.
2.) Roll out a small portion of wax and mold it into the basic shape you want your wound to be. With your wax in place, use a popsicle stick to smooth down the edges. Leave the wax in the middle to be raised a little, as this will become your opening.
3.) Use the edge of the popsicle stick to etch into the wax, creating the wound. This will be the mold for your wound, in which you will paint later.
4.) **DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP** You must coat the entire wax piece with the rigid collodion in order to be able to paint it. The collodion solidifies the wax so that paint and fake blood may be placed onto it, otherwise your wound will be ruined.
5.) Now you can paint. Take a thin brush and use black paint to cover the innermost part of the wound. This will add depth. Then, add red paint to the wound until you create a result you’re happy with. You may add shades of blue, brown, green, and yellow to mimic bruising.
6.) Finally, use a different brush to add the fake blood. Make sure to appreciate the work you’ve done!

-Q-tips: $1-2
-Fake blood: $5-7
-Paint brushes (small, childlike ones): $3
-Liquid latex: $3
Even if you haven’t heard of some of these materials, they are actually quite accessible. Many of these are, in fact, professionally used and will give you a stunning result. Now, time to piece it together.
1.) Use a Q-tip to apply a thin layer of liquid latex to the area you want your wound. This will allow the wax to stick better to the skin.
2.) Roll out a small portion of wax and mold it into the basic shape you want your wound to be. With your wax in place, use a popsicle stick to smooth down the edges. Leave the wax in the middle to be raised a little, as this will become your opening.
3.) Use the edge of the popsicle stick to etch into the wax, creating the wound. This will be the mold for your wound, in which you will paint later.
4.) **DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP** You must coat the entire wax piece with the rigid collodion in order to be able to paint it. The collodion solidifies the wax so that paint and fake blood may be placed onto it, otherwise your wound will be ruined.
5.) Now you can paint. Take a thin brush and use black paint to cover the innermost part of the wound. This will add depth. Then, add red paint to the wound until you create a result you’re happy with. You may add shades of blue, brown, green, and yellow to mimic bruising.
6.) Finally, use a different brush to add the fake blood. Make sure to appreciate the work you’ve done!
Bacon: Menace to Society
By: Alex Mahoney
Bacon: one of the worst things a person can ever think to put into their body. It can give you two things, a good taste and a heart attack from the high cholesterol. It’s called “God’s Nectar”; yes, in the sense that you will soon be meeting him from eating it all your life.
They say bacon was created as the sacrifice for a Sun God, Leto, which could’ve been forbidden to normal people and actually save their lives. People love bacon, and in modern times you get stuck with it everywhere you go. You can get it in stores, restaurants, everywhere; there’s no escaping it.
Tempting as this treat is, it should never be accepted as it will lead you to the early grave which is what the true creator of bacon is, the Devil. He leads, tempts, and creates fighting all for one little piece of meat, but it’d never be known that it’s the real reason for fighting wars and conflicts.
What this would truly cause would be mayhem and disaster, this meat is the source of all evil, and we must not give in. So if you’re offered pieces of seemingly defenseless bacon, do the right thing, and say no.

What is bacon? Truly, in its most pure state, bacon
is a slice of meat cut from a pig, and then cured in salt brine. Bacon, or as
some people call it, “God’s Nectar”, is most commonly served as a breakfast
dish. It has recently gained so much fame in pop culture, which has led to
bacon becoming one of today’s most popular dishes.
Bacon
was invented by ancient Sumerians as a sacrifice to their Sun God, Uto, and was
forbidden to normal people. This is because bacon is considered to be the most holy
of all foods, and is reserved for God, not man. Today, however, it can be found
in mostly every restaurant, no matter what the genre of food.
Bacon’s
irresistible taste has tempted many a person into a lifelong love of its greasy,
fried-up goodness. Some cultures use bacon as a medicine to cure certain
diseases that have no remedy, as it is known as a cure for the incurable.
When
it comes down to it, bacon isn’t just a strip of meat. It isn’t just an artery
clogging, grease-slice piece of flesh. It is hope for the world, that one day,
all countries, races, ethnicities, religions, and diverse groups will come
together, and have peace over a piece: a piece, of bacon that is.
Tatler Mystery
By Isabella Cross
Weird things have been happening to the Tatler staff lately. It all started on the day that the mysterious letter showed up. All that was written was a peculiar message vowing to take revenge on the rest of the Tatler staff. Once everyone read the letter the accusations started flying. Everyone pointed their finger at another staff member; it was getting ridiculous. I, as one of the editor in chiefs, took it upon myself to be the detective and once and for all find an end to this mystery before our newspaper fell to shambles.
Here is all that I have gathered about the day of the crime:
It was the beginning of autumn. While everyone was too excited about the leaves changing colors and delicious pumpkin desserts, the suspect found the perfect time to act. The only logical time the
suspect would be able to sneak the letter into the class room would be during class change.
We concluded that whoever did it must have been a member off the staff. Here are the suspects and
their alibis:
James Viox- “I’m just as confused as everyone else.”
Habsa Dia- “I don’t have time for that LOL.”
Brent Christiansen- “I don’t know why I think Isabella has it out for me, I just think so.”
Andrew Stookey- “My handwriting definitely is not that nice.”
Sarah Singleton- “Hey, why did Isabella jump on this “detective” job so fast. I bet she did it.”
Emily Phillips- “I just got here I don’t even know these people.”
Aryan Overstreet-“Sarah seems sneaky to me. She seems to be the vengeful type.”
Jordan Gentry- “I`m late to class almost every day, so I think Mrs. Brady has it out for me.”
Alex Mahoney- “Why would I be seeking revenge on anyone?”
Lauren Trevor- “Habsa is always so quiet during that class. She was probably planning this out the
whole time.”
Sarah Barron- “I’m not even in the class at that time.”
Hayley Osborne- “Hey don’t look at me! Why would I do it?”
Isabella Cross- “It definitely wasn’t me. I saw the way Brent glared at me after the first edition of the
Tatler. It had to be because I put my name before his.”
Mrs. Brady- “I was in the bathroom during class change. How could I have done it?”
