"We want to explore and discuss a lot of diverse topics," said teacher sophomore Kis Swigert.

One goal of the symposium is to become aware of differences, and then look at them.

"We want to discuss how to generate exposure to diversity," said instructor Charlie Kayker.

"Look than everyone can be inclusive, and think, but I think we propose for everyone to understand our views of being different and more aware of tolerant of others."

"Our effort is to help create a more diverse and tolerant society," said teacher sophomore Kis Swigert.

"We also want to explore and foster appreciation for the diversity in our community."

"Because we want to be inclusive, we want to be diverse and tolerant of others," said instructor Charlie Kayker.

"I hope that students will go into an open-minded, and inclusive society."

"Some of the activists planned, guest, and group discussions."

"Many people want to diversity, and to try to be more inclusive of their background in their life."

The District 877 Board of education trades in development of our schools. As the 1994 Su-perintendent, [unclear] important activities have been to the Board of education. It consists of seven elected members, the inspir-

sends of schools, and one student representative. The regular Board of education meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. The meetings are held in the District 877 High School, Montezuma, Illinois. Having meetings since [unclear] community members can participate in the meetings, The school board acts on many aspects of education. Things ranging from school trips and field trips to managing the $200,000 monthly budget are discussed at every meeting. Also discussed are many issues concerning student information. The school board also provides guidance to parents and encourages voice to an increase in community involvement. Although part-time, the board members run an efficient meeting and are available to the public. During the meeting, employees present

The process of letting go can be long and short or sweet. People have to let go of things when everything else changes around them, or when friendships dissolve. When some leaves for college or moves away, the pain of letting go can hurt like a knife. Some people try to move on, but the harder they try, the more they find themselves reaching for the past. Letting go of a friendship or a relationship can be difficult. It can feel like you are losing a part of yourself. But letting go can also be a way to make room for new things and new people in your life. It can be a way to heal and to grow. Letting go is not easy, but it is a necessary part of life. It is a way to move forward and to embrace the future.

I've learned that letting go of the past is one of the hardest things to do. It can be painful and difficult, but it is also necessary for growth and healing. I've found that the best way to let go is to accept that the past is gone and that it cannot be changed. I've also found that it's important to focus on the present and to look forward to the future. I've found that letting go can also be a way to make room for new experiences and new people in my life. It's been a journey, but I'm grateful for everything I've learned along the way.

I think that the problem with AIDS is that it is a very difficult disease to deal with. It can be very painful and can cause a lot of suffering for both the person who has it and their loved ones. I also think that the stigma surrounding AIDS is a big problem. People are often afraid to talk about it, and this can make it even harder for people to get the help they need. We need to do more to educate people about AIDS and to reduce the stigma surrounding it.

The things that make life worth living are the simple things, like a good meal, a laugh with a friend, or a beautiful sunset. It's the small moments that make life special. We should all take the time to appreciate the little things in life and to find joy in the everyday.

Just act on it.

Have you ever thought about everything a has label? What is labeled a what product is, what it is made of, what it is used for? Labels claim things about people, like being vegetarians, fruits and vegetables, meats and junk food. When someone labels you, it can lead to a certain conclusion about you that is not necessarily true.

Take a cancer for example. It's like being a person, sometimes a victim, sometimes a hero. It will never be thought of as the person themselves, but as a label. A group of people are now labeled as 'cancer patients.' This can be a very limiting label. It can make people feel like they are defined by their illness, rather than by who they are as individuals.

Labels and stereotypes can be very harmful. They can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and even violence. When we label people, we are essentially stripping them of their individuality and reducing them to a single characteristic. This can make it difficult for people to be seen and understood for who they truly are.

It is important to remember that labels are often inaccurate and oversimplified. They do not capture the complexity and nuance of a person's identity. Instead of relying on labels, we should strive to get to know people as individuals and to appreciate the unique qualities that make each person special.

After two weeks of grueling practice, our team coaches have broken the words: Sorry, but we can't play.

Sound familiar? After months of hard work, many sports teams have been knocked out of the playoffs. For a coach, it's a scalp, an enormous blow to the best team for the season. But who will help our coach? Who will help our players? Who will help our fans? Who will help our team? There's an uncertain future ahead.

It's frustrating and discouraging! So, if our team can't play this season, what is the impact? It's not just about the game. It's about the sense of community, the shared goals, and the friendships that are formed through sports. When a team is unable to play, it can disrupt these connections and leave people feeling lost and disconnected.

However, this is a generation that is often criticized for being too sensitive. But maybe, just maybe, sensitivity is a strength. It can lead to greater empathy, understanding, and connection with others. In a world that can often feel harsh and impersonal, sensitivity can be a powerful tool for building meaningful relationships and creating a more compassionate society.

So, let's embrace our sensitivity. Let's use it to connect with others, to understand their perspectives, and to build a more inclusive and supportive community. And let's not forget the importance of companionship. Having friends and teammates to share our experiences with, both the triumphs and the setbacks, can make all the difference. So, let's find ways to support each other and to build lasting connections, even in the face of disappointment.

In recent years, the definition of family has broadened tremendously. Families are no longer a mom, dad, brother, sister, dog, white picket fence and whatever else goes with the "perfect" family.

Now, people have to deal with complications of divorce. An entirely new language has to be used when describing many of today's families. Steps and halves are only a few of the new aspects of today's non-traditional families.

"I never had to deal with it [divorce]. I don't know what it'd be like," said junior Bethany Lohmann.

There are those couples who stay together after wedding vows, for better or for worse, but an increasingly high rate of people are or will be divorced.

"It seems like people should think more before getting married. It's [divorce] getting to be an escape if the marriage gets too rough," said freshman Alicia Hiesel.

Nearly everyone agrees that divorce is not fun, and a fair amount disagree entirely with the concept of divorce. Sometimes, however, it seems there is no other option.

"I don't agree with it [divorce] under a lot of circumstances, but if there's abuse, there's nothing else you can do," said junior Lisa Burling.

If a divorce and then a remarriage occur, there's always a chance that not only a step-parent, but a step-sibling or half-sibling could be gained.

"You have to learn to get along or live with them [steps or halves] if you have them," said Lohmann.

Adding a new face, or faces to the family portrait is not always an easy transition.

Sometimes, unfortunately, step or half siblings don't get along. Whether it's because they aren't full blood relatives or whether it's regular sibling rivalry is anybody's guess.

"I have two step-brothers. We don't get along very well at all. [That's because] there's a big age difference and we were raised differently," said Hiesel.

Then there's always the issue of whether people from broken families grow-up to be worse off than those who come from a more traditional type of family.

"[It [broken families] might change the way they act towards other people; good and bad," said Lohmann.

Whether families are traditional or go against all aspects of the traditional family, they can get along and live together happily.

"I'm really glad that I have the family that I have, and we're very close," said Burling.

At some point in life, everyone fights with siblings, verbally or physically. If it's not with their siblings, it is with cousins or neighbors, but whatever the case, everyone seems to find someone to pick on.

Studies suggest that ending the "sibling war" will take many years. It seems that everyone has some evil in them at one point or another in life.

The simple fact is that nobody is perfect. Everyone picks on somebody once in a while.

One student said, "I am the only one who will stand up and tell my mom off."

This statement shows how older children are different from their siblings, and will often be more overpowering.

Experts say birth order has an impact on your behavior.

First-born children need to be taught everything by their parents be-

cause they do not have brothers or sisters. They are taught everything first, and are the first to do things.

"My parents expect much as my younger brothers don't have anything to do with things, everything first. If I make a mistake, I get in trouble," said senior Becki Ecklund, telling the benefits of being the oldest child.

When the oldest tends to be the superior.

"When my brothers think he picks on me. It's the coolest guy that Right now, he is easy, so it doesn't make me more," said second-grader Kruck.

The third-born child is usually the middle. The middle child is often blamed for influencing your behavior.

RESULTS TAKEN FROM A QUESTIONNAIRE PASSED OUT TO STUDENTS BY THE FEATURES DEPARTMENT OF THE BISON.

Sibling rivalry can turn two Nintendo games into a disastrous fight. Some studies show that siblings fight more often than they do with their parents. Unsurprisingly, for fourth-born children, this is the case. They have to share everything with their older siblings, and the smallest members of the family tend to show that they are most likely to be the ones who are being bullied or scapegoated.

Although siblings fight, they also provide support. Many studies show that siblings are a source of comfort and security for children. They can be a source of laughter and fun, and they can also be a source of strength and resilience.

In the end, sibling rivalry is a natural part of growing up. It can be a source of conflict, but it can also be a source of growth and development. As long as siblings learn how to communicate and resolve their differences, they can build strong and lasting relationships that will last a lifetime.

"Because they my brother and sister annoy me," said Harvia. There can also be some common factors.

"Always wants my clothes. Then they're them," said Schimacher.

"That is what I felt in the morning to cause me trouble," said [unclear].

"Mainly we fight about the in the morning, and," said Harrison.

"I fight with my sister, because she's always [unclear] with one another," said Sophie McHargdale.

"All with the fighting and arguing going on, it's hard to believe that there could be a lot of laughter."

"Sometimes it's a perfect family on the surface, but there's a lot of fighting going on behind the scenes," said [unclear].

"Some believe in family, but they're always going on with the fighting, and it's hard to believe that there could be a lot of laughter."

"It brings families closer together, it gets their feelings out," said Harrison.

In the Bahamas, the players will join high school and college players from North Dakota, the North Dakota high school basketball champion team will also join the group.

There will be a lifetime chance to go to the Bahamas, which is a dream for many students, said senior Jason Eldred.

In Nassau, the players are looking forward to the trip, said coach Nick Fleischer.

Many high school and sports equipment to undergo training in the winter and play basketball against high school teams in Nassau.

It's a great opportunity to travel and have fun, and it's helpful for a division I player, said senior Paul Peters.

To help for the trip, the players are working hard in the gym.

All concessions at Jr. Irken games, you can listen to junior varsity, work at the concession stand, and also help with the concessions.

They are having a car wash at West-Mart in Buffalo.

That is what experience shows because those players who have played in the Bahamas have often been able to play in the future. They have to plan to connect with them. They also have a lot of experience and service to get into it.

The golf season in full swing and off to a great start.

"We have a great chance at winning the conference. There are a lot of talented golfers out there," coach Pete Specht, said.

The golfers will get in the qualifying rounds to compete for the top six places on the team. This will determine who will make the team. Bison golf isn't a team sport. It is an individual sport, too. "I expect great results in our all-conference and go to state," said junior Luke Zimmerman.

The Bison girls' softball team is already all over the place.

That they are going to be able to compete this season, is looking forward to the games and cameras that they use.

Our goal is to play in the conference and keep improving. Although they have tough competition from Totino Grace, in the games, they have to work hard to win these games.

One thing the team has only projecting to go a bit shorter this season has been made. We need to improve so as many as possible can play. We have been senior, said coach Ryan Peterson.

As with every team at the beginning of a season, the team is working hard.

We need to keep enthusiasm throughout the season, said Stuart.

The Athlete Profile is a feature in The Bison. Each issue the current students will choose an athlete who is outstanding, most improved, or the hardest worker on the team.

Missy Vanner, senior, girls' softball. She is a great consistent player, during the season she has always had great confidence, and they don't have practice, said coach Zach Robinson.

Luke Zimmerman, junior, boys' golf. He has the best average, and is a great leader of winning the conference, said coach Pete Specht.

Troy Doer, senior, men's track. He is in the record holder in shot put, and has a distance of 56 feet, said coach Easton.

Kate Mollen, senior, softball. She got the best long jump and triple jump, and also participated in the 4x200 and 4x400 relay, said coach Easton.

Jamie Davidson, senior, men's tennis. He is in the record holder in working excellent sport, and has been on the team for two years, said coach Keiferhans.

The Bismark track team is off to a running start this season.

"Track is so much fun, it is a lot of work, but it's worth it," said senior track star, Sarah Miller. Some people like to run for the exercise, and some run for their fundraisers," said junior sprinter, Jane Johnson.

Running is awesome. I have been in track since seventh grade," said Johnson.

Everyone has personal goals, and they also have team goals. "Some personal goals are to improve my time in the 100m, state," said senior Troy Duer. Most people have an inspiration to striving for best performance.

"My goal is probably to break my personal best time," said Miller. Some members of the team feel that as a result of a bad day, they can become physically benefited from it.

"I want to improve my hurdles," said junior sprinter, Jane Johnson.

Apart from the physical benefits, for some, track is a great way to make friends. "Track isn't just about running. There are many other events, which are particularly fun," said Duer. "I like throwing and discus. It keeps you in shape," said Duer.

moments before you cut the bandages out. With frowned eyebrows, it was clear that the jargon used in the report was confusing to the readers. If we want to be understood, we must use plain English. The use of technical terms should be limited to those that are absolutely necessary for the subject matter. Otherwise, we risk alienating our audience and failing to communicate our message effectively.

Where you are, in terms of where you are in the world, is less important than where you are in your mind. A positive attitude can take you anywhere. A negative attitude can hold you back, no matter how much talent or opportunity you have. So, choose your attitude wisely. It can make all the difference in your life.

It is an art to teach young athletes how to win, but it is an even greater art to teach them how to lose with grace and dignity. Sports are about more than just winning and losing; they are about character, teamwork, and perseverance. These are lessons that will serve athletes well long after they have left the playing field.

In fact, words, sayings, and even concepts were invented along with the games which were being played at a very early age.

As the season begins, keep in mind that the goal is not just to win matches, but to develop skills, build friendships, and enjoy the game. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the sport, there is something for everyone in tennis. So, grab your racket, head to the courts, and get ready for a great season!

THE PIANO
By Royce Johnson

Entertainment Editor
When I went to the Piano I decided that I was probably in the wrong place. There in my imagination, I had expected a grand concert hall, but instead, I found myself in a small, dimly lit club. The music was played by a single pianist, and the atmosphere was intimate and cozy. As I sat there, listening to the music, I began to realize that sometimes, the best experiences are the ones you don't plan for. It was a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, if only we are willing to look for it.

SHADOWLANDS
By Royce Johnson

Entertainment Editor
Of the movies I've recently seen, Shadowlands is the one that has stayed with me the longest. It's a beautiful and moving film, based on the true story of C.S. Lewis and his relationship with Joy Davidman. The film is a testament to the power of love and the importance of finding connection in a world that can often feel cold and indifferent. It's a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled, reminding you of the profound impact that love can have on our lives.

WHITE FANG
By Royce Johnson

Entertainment Editor
I was very disappointed with the recent adaptation of White Fang. While the original novel by Jack London is a masterpiece of adventure and survival, the film failed to capture the essence of the story. The characters were underdeveloped, and the plot felt rushed and disjointed. It lacked the raw emotion and the sense of danger that made the book so compelling. I had hoped for a more faithful and nuanced portrayal of the relationship between the wolf and the human, but instead, I was left with a lackluster cinematic experience.

Schindler's List had to be one of the most powerful and collected films of the year. It was truly remarkable that in such a dark time in history, a film could capture the essence of the Holocaust so effectively. The film is a harrowing depiction of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, but it also offers a glimmer of hope through the actions of Oskar Schindler, a man who risked everything to save hundreds of Jews from certain death. The film is a masterpiece of storytelling, and it is a must-see for anyone who wants to understand the depths of human cruelty and the resilience of the human spirit.
