Tatler Pumpkin Contest

By Lauren Trevor

It’s not quite the season for giving, but here at the Tatler we’re feeling generous, so we decided to host a little contest. Every year The Enquirer hosts a “create a turkey” contest. Using their template, anyone can customize their turkey and send it back in. Winners from each age group then receive a prize for their bodacious bird. For our contest, we instead are providing a pumpkin template which is a separate insert in your issue of the Tatler. To enter simply use the template to create your pumpkin and turn it into Ms. Brady in room number 20 with your name printed clearly. All submissions must be school appropriate to be eligible to win. This means no profanity, sexual content, drug use, etc. If you have questions as to whether or not your pumpkin is appropriate see Ms. Brady.  Submissions must be turned in by Monday the 24th. If you have any questions please contact Ms. Brady or a member of the Tatler staff and remember to be creative and have fun!

To help inspire you and provide an idea of what this contest entails, here are some examples from The Enquirer’s create-a-turkey contest:

New Library Hours!

By Isabella Cross

As you all probably heard, the library is now open after school until 5:15. This was started because the students in the Spanish IV class were asked to come up with ideas that would be beneficial to all the students in our school.

The students in this class took notice that some students don’t have resources such as computers or printers at their homes. Now with the library open later, students are able to have access to the computers after school. They also said that it is easier to concentrate on homework in the school environment rather than at home where there are many distractions.

These new hours are now a way for teachers to help students get caught up with missing work because whether or not students like it, teachers can require students to stay after school to complete assignments.

We are hoping to have tutoring available after school as well. We really hope that these new resources will be beneficial for all the students, and we really encourage every student to take advantage of this opportunity.

Cross Country Comes to a Close

By: Andrew Stookey

 It’s the end of the 2014 cross country season, and Lloyd ended it with a bang. Although neither the boys nor girls teams made it to state, they ran one heck of a race. 

The girls who ran at regionals on Novermber 1st at Idlewild were senior Kayley Westwood, juniors Micaela Marshall and Amanda Rogers, sophomores Jackie Oshon and Stella Homecilla, freshman Emily Burgheim, and 8th grader Charlotte Hauck. The girls finished 7th out of eight teams with 164 points, right behind Bishop Brossart at 159 points.

 The boys who ran were seniors Addison Bosley, Andrew Stookey, and TJ Bailey, juniors Tyler Breeden and Kyle Davis, sophomore Austin Robbins, and freshman Skyler Vornberger. The boys finished 6th out of twelve teams, with 135 points, right behind Newport Central Catholic at 129 points.

 Out of the teams, boys runners Addison Bosley, Tyler Breeden, and Austin Robbins made it to state at Lexington. Breeden finished 31st, Robbins 44th, and Bosley 52nd. Great job guys, and what a way to end the season!

Diversity at Lloyd

By: Mahfoudh Mohamed & Andrew Stookey

Lloyd is one of the most diverse high schools in Northern Kentucky, second to Holmes High School. We have a 25% minority toll with only 558 people. We have an excellent ESL program with kids learning English faster than ever. Our high minority number is helping us as we’ve received a bronze medal for being one of the top high schools in America.

Our diversity comes in many groups of people as well. We have a high number of African American enrolled students, with 13%. Our Hispanic, Asian, Hawaiian, and American Indian students make up the rest of our minority groups. 

With such a diverse student body, Lloyd has extremely good test scores. 10% of the students testing distinguished, and 50% being proficient, which places Lloyd up with some of the top high schools in the state. Lloyd also has on average more students proficient in English than the entire state does.

Lloyd is split fairly even, with 49% of students being male, and 51% female, and contains a total of 558 students, with a 15:1 student to teacher ratio. 

All in all, Lloyd is one of the most diverse, proficient high schools in Northern Kentucky, and even the state. With our wide range of student ethnicity, our high test scores, and the extraordinary student to teacher ratio, Lloyd is really one of the best schools in the area.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Grading Scale

By: Emily Phillips

Starbucks: A+
Like stepping into a bubbly girl`s wonderland. It contained just the right amount of pumpkin spice blend, maintaining its integrity while not being overbearing. Slightly expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Biggby: B-
Actually tastes like pumpkin. It’s incredibly rich, and better consumed in small quantities. Rather expensive, but it’s prepared with great care.

McDonald’s: C
Most of the flavoring settled at the bottom, resulting in a rather bland taste. It ended up tasting more like vanilla with nutmeg. Reasonable price compared to big name coffee shops.

Dunkin Donuts: D-
A latte that is almost indescribable (in a bad way). It has an odd pumpkin liquid sugar taste and was rather burnt. The only decent part was the foam. (The Tatler editor disapproves.)

Chef Singleton’s Kitchen

This week in Chef Singleton’s kitchen, my assistant Lauren Trevor and I were feeling a little experimental. Lauren suggested that we make garlic and green onion hamburgers, and that is exactly what we did. Personally, I think they turned out pretty well. Try some and decide for yourselves:

Recipe:
* 1lb hamburger
* 3 garlic cloves
* ½ cup to a cup of chives
* Pinch of salt
* 3-5 pinches of garlic salt
* A pinch of pepper
* Olive oil for skillet preparation
* Buns

Reviews:
“Delicious. Excellent hamburgers.”
“Pretty Tasty.”
“It was definitely a hamburger.”

Helping Hands and Giving Cans

By: Aryan Overstreet and Hayley Osborne

The weather is cooling, but our hearts aren`t. As we approach the holiday season, we should help those in need. Thanksgiving is only two weeks away, and as we are all excited about the delicious foods to come, we have to remember that there are many unfortunate families in our community.

So the Tatler staff will be hosting a canned food drive for those in need. Whichever fifth period class collects the most cans will have a Thanksgiving party courtesy of the Tatler. The party will be held on Tuesday the 25th, and it will consist of food, Thanksgiving fun, and more food.

Think about the families who would appreciate having a nice meal this Thanksgiving; one of the many things we take for granted. Help someone this holiday season by bringing in a can. Bring a can, create a smile, and give thanks

Get Them While You Can!!!

We now have the place for all you people who are interested in getting a yearbook this year, now is your chance. We have the website so you can do it all from the comfort of your own home!

Lloyd Wins a Bronze Medal

By: Mahfoudh Mohamed

If you’re not a frequent reader of U.S. News Education magazine, then you’ve probably missed that Lloyd was considered one of the best high schools in the country, and I repeat… in the country! Lloyd racked up a bronze medal last month.

As stated in the Erlanger City Newsletter “U.S. News chose only 4,707 Schools or 27 percent ‒ as the highest-ranking schools in the nation. Lloyd Memorial High School is on that list”.

Lloyd’s hard work has indeed paid off. Last year Lloyd had 47 students in Advanced Placement classes, with only AP U.S. History and AP Literature offered. This year Lloyd stepped up its game by adding three more AP classes. 181 kids are challenging themselves and taking AP classes this year.

Senior and current AP student Evan Franxman said, “Receiving a bronze medal looks great for the
school and it truly shows the hard work has paid off, and we look better than Dixie”.

IC3 teacher Laura Albrinck feels like the teachers had a great part in this accomplishment; “I feel like I helped with the career readiness of these students, and I am very proud” she added.

Teachers indeed do play a huge part in our accomplishment. 72% of Lloyd’s staff has a master's degree and 36% have earned Rank 1, the highest status in Kentucky. So it’s definitely not just a coincidence that our numbers have topped other Northern Kentucky high schools.

Get to Know Mr. McMillen

By Isabella Cross

Continuing with our introductions to the new teachers at our school, this edition will introduce you to Mr. McMillen. He is an English teacher here at Lloyd for both freshmen and seniors.

This is actually his 14th year teaching. He has taught twelve years at NKU, one year at Dixie, and this is his first year at Lloyd. He loves the environment that Lloyd has. His favorite part about Lloyd is the familiarity he is able to have with his students.

“Since Lloyd is small I am getting to know individual students, not just groups of classes.”

Mr. McMillen grew up in Kentucky, but moved to Plano, Texas in his teenage years. He then came back to Kentucky to obtain his degrees at both EKU and UK.

He is interested in English because of how much people can relate to literature.

“I like literature because we can see a small part of ourselves in the characters of great stories,” he explained.

One of McMillen’s hobbies outside of school includes being there for his two daughters. He coaches his daughters’ sports teams and said, “My girls’ hobbies have become my hobbies.”

We hope that Mr. McMillen has a great first year at Lloyd High School!

Sweet &Fruity vs. Chocolaty

By: Jordan Gentry

From Candy Corn to Butterfingers, Skittles to M&M’s, Twizzlers to Reese Cups, Lifesavers to Tootsie Rolls, and Nerds to Snickers, Halloween candy tops all. With so many options it’s very hard to choose between cravings for sweet and tangy or savory and delicious. As for some Lloyd students here are the results:

Sweet&Fruity                         Chocolaty

Extra Credit Project Teaches Preschoolers

By: Habsa Dia

“It’s wonderful that the older kids are getting involved with the preschoolers,” says preschool teacher Susan Dugan.

All four of Señora Donnell’s Spanish I classes had the opportunity to help the preschoolers with learning a new language. The extra credit project was creating a Spanish alphabet book.

“I thought it would be neat to make picture alphabet books for the children at the daycare,” says Spanish teacher Señora Donnell. Currently the preschoolers are learning letters and doing different activities to help prepare them for kindergarten.

“Right now is actually one of the best times [for them] to learn a new language,” Señora Donnell adds. After the freshmen completed their books, she had them laminated and took them to the teachers to choose the ones they wanted for their classrooms.

“I love it,” Ms. Dugan stated. These books will be the first at this location to introduce another language. Sister corporations have already started teaching Spanish since they have Hispanic parents with an interest in being a part of their classes. As for the preschool at the end of third hall, having the high schoolers help out is a real pleasure.

Is the World Coming to an End?!

By: James Viox

Can one single disease wipe out the entire world population? Ebola, an extremely contagious and deadly disease has been found in the United States. People have, on average, a 50/50 chance of dying from this disease. But what’s the probability of the dead coming back to life? Ebola is not only bringing our world to an end, but now it’s turning us into zombies? The deadly disease is now bringing their victims back to life. In a matter of a couple years we will be living in The Walking Dead (Ebola Edition).

Several people who have acquired Ebola, specifically in Africa, have come back to life momentarily after suffering death. Rumors have it that some of these people have uprooted out of their graves and are on the loose. They’re roaming anywhere and everywhere. So let’s just take that as no one is safe from the disease

Student of African descent, Mahfoudh Mohamed, Junior, states, “Ebola seems to be a very serious topic in America today, back home in Africa, Ebola has been extremely common.”

Mahfoudh also stated, “ I have known several people from my former village who have become victims to this disastrous disease, I would hate to see the same thing happen here.”

Mahfoudh has not been in contact with someone who has resurrected back from the dead, but he has heard of it and wouldn’t be surprised if it happened here in America.

People have believed Ebola will make its biggest strike the day before Halloween. So the day of Halloween the Ebola zombies will resurrect from the dead, making for one scary and realistic Halloween costume. So you might as well forget about Jason, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers because Ebola zombies are far more deadly and horrifying. It is also to be believed that the zombies have a strong craving for candy, so make sure to protect yourself, and your valuable loot of candy this Halloween.

Introducing AP

By Emily Phillips

This year has had some notable improvements to offer students willing to go above and beyond in education. Four new AP classes have been added to student schedules in order to provide and promote the option for early college credits. With this exciting news, teachers of these courses have given their information about the class, and themselves.

AP Statistics: Mrs. Gleason
With a seemingly analytical and realistic viewpoint, her goal for the class is to pass the AP exam. Lessons include “a cycle of teach, practice, review,” as said by Mrs. Gleason.
Biggest Fear: Snakes

AP Literature: Ms. Ludwig
In addition to passing the AP exam, she plans on teaching her students strategy and analytical skills. Classes will be discussion based. When asked if she had any secret plans for this year, Ms. Ludwig responded with, “If I told you, I would have to kill you.”
Biggest Fear: Getting attacked by mice in her classroom.

AP Environmental Science: Mrs. Pleiman
“The goal of APES is for students to understand the connection between how all parts of the living world interact with each other and humans,” as said by Mrs. Pleiman. Using a variety of methods, she prefers a more hands on approach, with tons of labs and activities.
Biggest Fear: Flying in an airplane (ask her for the story)

AP Physics: Mrs. Jump
In her sardonic, witty, and wonderful mind, Mrs. Jump states that, “The main goal of the course, as with any subject, is for the student to have an understanding of the material. In Physics, that understanding will come from labs and practice problems.” Her main method of teaching consists of note taking. Always have a pencil!”
Biggest Fear: That this will be published

Warning For Halloween

By: Lauren Trevor

Before you go out on Halloween to face off against all the monsters and ghouls, make sure you understand what you’re up against! Whether you’re planning on blending in with them or fending them off this Halloween, make sure you know how to recognize one!

One of the most well-known on the list of beasts is the Lycanthrope, or more commonly known as the werewolf. These monsters are known to be created by one of two ways, according to legend. The first is the one everyone knows, the classic transformation into a werewolf as a result of being bitten by one. The second is the less renowned werewolf curse. Ironically, however, this is how the original legend describes one becoming a werewolf.

In the earliest recorded appearance of this creature, a story by Ovid a Roman poet, the first werewolf was King Lycaon, who greatly angered the gods when he served them human meat at a banquet in their honour. As punishment, the gods cursed him and he began to take the shape of a wolf, a more fitting appearance to match his cannibalistic tendencies. In these original tales of the wolf-men, the full moon had nothing to do with the creatures, and in fact, they could change at will at any given time of day or night. As time progressed, however, the tale of the wolf-man evolved into what we know of today, and the legend differs from culture to culture. But in any version it’s true that these beasts are the fearsome kings of the night, so makes sure to stock up on dog treats and squirt bottles unless you’d like to be dinner this coming Halloween!

“Charm & Strange” Book Review

By: Sarah Barron

Everyone has their own secrets that lurk between the shadows. They seem to sneak inside of us. Some people even claim they have a beast living inside of them. Charm & Strange by Stephanie kuehn tells a story about a teenager named Win who is put in a boarding school. Win has several dirty secrets that he tucks away from the world. Win is very anti-social, but the most interesting aspect of all is that he claims there’s a werewolf living inside of him. The two friends he manages to accommodate end up bringing out the worst in him. The truth simply lies within the beholder.

While reading Charm & Strange it allowed me to dig in between the story and the point being portrayed. To me the bigger idea seemed to be that even some of the best people have secrets. We all hide in fear of knowing the absolute truth. Unfortunately it’s as though these secrets receive the best of us as individuals. It is our duty to keep life moving by simply one’s own decision whether or not to tell the truth. So often we are quick to judge others solely based on how they act or look when in reality there’s so much more to it than we could ever understand.

My personal experience with this book was incredible. I enjoyed the overall take of it, and the meaning I received within it. This book was a very simple, easy read. It was a true page turner. Every page would lead you flipping to the next keeping you focused and constantly waiting to know what would happen next. Charm & Strange is a romantic, suspense filled book. Everyone is always saying. “Never judge a book by its cover or even its title”. In this case, I 100% agree with that saying. When I first received the book to read I was weary I wouldn’t enjoy reading it because of the title and cover. As I read the summary I became more and more intrigued and interested in reading the book. With relief, I absolutely loved the book overall.

I would definitely recommend this book. Honestly almost anyone would enjoy the book because of all the topics mentioned. Charm & Strange not only talks about werewolves but also touches on back flashes of a summer romance. Therefore I would not gender base recommending this book. I strongly believe that anyone willing to read the book would be hooked in an instance. It is constructed well, easy to read, and simple to understand. Thus making it the perfect book for anyone to understand and enjoy at the same time.

Chef Singleton’s Kitchen

When you ask people what their favorite holiday is, the answer you receive most often is Christmas. I am not one of those people. I absolutely LOVE Halloween and have loved it ever since I was a kid. So, for this special extra-large Halloween edition of the Tatler, I made the staff a special Halloween treat. I call them, Krispie Candy Corns. Basically, they are your classic Rice Krispie Treats made to look like candy corn using food coloring. The recipe I found put a spin on the standard Rice Krispie treat by adding different flavors to the orange and yellow sections of the candy corn. Having lemon and orange zest added in with the Rice Krispie treats, however, did not sound very appealing to me, so I left it out. I will give you the original recipe though, so you can use it as you please.

Total Ingredients:
* 2 sticks butter
* 2 10-oz bags mini marshmallows
* 2-3 lemons
* Yellow food coloring
* 1 12-oz box Rice Krispie Cereal
* 2 oranges
* Red food coloring

For the yellow ring:
* 3 Tbsps. Butter
* 5 cups mini marshmallows
* 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
* 2 drops yellow food coloring ( I suggest more)
* 4 ½ cups Rice Krispie cereal

For the orange ring:
* 2 Tbsps. Butter
* 2 ½ cups mini marshmallows
* 1 Tbsp. orange zest (from 2 oranges)
* 2 drops yellow food coloring
* 2 drops red food coloring
* 3 ¼ cups Rice Krispie cereal

For white center:
* 2 Tbsp. butter
* 2 ½ cups mini marshmallows
* 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal

Directions:
Grease two 8 inch cake pans and two spatulas with butter or nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, start to make the yellow layer: Melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 5 cups miniature marshmallows; stir until melted. Stir in lemon zest and yellow food coloring. Place 4 ½ cups Rice Krispie cereal in a large bowl, then add marshmallow mixture and stir quickly with greased spatula until fully incorporated.
Divide yellow Rice Krispie mixture between two cake pans, and use your hands to create a ring around the inside of the cake pan about 1 ½ inches wide. Rub a bit of butter on your hands as necessary to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Work quickly, as the mixture becomes difficult to manipulate when it cools.
Wash saucepan and spatulas, then repeat the same process with ingredients for the orange ring, and then the white center.
Let sit for two hours (or overnight). Run a small knife around edges of pan and invert loaf onto cutting board. Cut the round in half and then in quarters, then cut each quarter in half.

Reviews:
“Scrumptious” – Isabella Cross
“Delicious” – James Viox
“Really good” – Mahfoudh Mohamed
“Very good” – Brent Christiansen
“Tasty and festive” – Emily Phillips
“Adorable and tasty” – Hayley Osborne
“Cute and delicious” – Aryan Overstreet

Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddy,
Come after you with claws or a machete.
Friday the 13th and Jeepers Creepers,
These movies turn the strongest into weepers.
Bats and Witches fly around the night,
 You won’t be safe if there’s no sunlight.
Vampires prowl on every street,
Your blood isn’t safe if you and one meet.
Killer Clowns are on the loose,
They’ll even frighten your pet moose.
Haunted Houses can’t even compare,
 This night is more frightening than your worst nightmare.
Ghosts are out on a tear,
They’ll steal your candy and not even care.
Overall, Halloween is just plain scary, and please kids don’t forget to drink your dairy.

Playoffs Beginning Means a New Season For The Juggs!

By: Brent Christiansen

The regular season has come to an end for the Lloyd Memorial football team, which means the Juggs are back at 0-0 and ready to show what they got. The team had a very exciting regular season, finishing at a very quality 7-2 record going into the big dance. The high powered offense scored at least 42 points in seven of their nine games, the points being scored by a host of different Juggernauts.

The team finished at third in one of the most competitive districts in the state, finishing at third due to heartbreaking losses to very good district opponents Newcath in week 5 and to Newport this past Friday.

This past week the Juggernauts suffered a loss to the Newport Wildcats at Newport, however they did put together many great drives and good stands of defense. From this loss the Juggs are even more motivated going into the playoffs and know what they need to work on to make a run to winning the state title.

Going into the playoffs Loyd has a bye week before going into their first round matchup against the second place finisher in the 2A District 5, which at this point looks to be against Carroll County, whom the team did not play during the regular season.

Nonetheless, the Juggernauts are ready to rally together and get things right before their first playoff bout which is on November 7th and will be an away game due to the fact the Juggernauts lost home field advantage after their loss on Friday.

Everybody get ready to cheer extra loud for the Juggernauts as they try to make their run for a state title…GO JUGGS!!!!
