Hailey Rohrer will represent the
Do Something Club in the Fair Queen contest

As the end of the year rolls around, whether students like it or not, it is time to start thinking about the next school year. And what better to think about than the West Lampeter Fair. In the opinion of senior Hailey Rohrer, why not think about the Fair Queen Competition? While most students would cringe at the thought of public speaking, writing essays, and attending interviews, Rohrer is certainly the exception. She was quick to volunteer for the unique opportunity to represent her club, her faith, and her love for agriculture. 

“Why volunteer?” For Rohrer, this experience is not about the nerve-racking public speaking or tedious interviews. The West Lampeter Fair has been her second home for as long as she can remember and this competition is just another opportunity to be actively involved in the venerable institution's continued success.

Fair since a young age
Rohrer lives on her family farm where they have cows and dogs, but that is not the extent of her agricultural background. She is a former greased pig champion, a blue ribbon holder for her bunny, and an experienced art show winner. 

“It would be an honor to to represent [the community] and use [my] agricultural background to educate people,” she says in response to a question on what it would mean to be the Fair Queen. 

In addition to being an officer for Do Something Club, Rohrer is a member of the tennis team, Interact, Varsity Club, Stage Crew for the musical, and has previously played volleyball and participated in color guard. She is also an active member of her church and is working towards becoming a youth leader. Her future plans include becoming a marine biologist while studying in Florida.

Rohrer's overall excitement as the day rolls near is obvious. Her one wish? That she is asked to describe the fair in three words ... short and sweet. With her positive attitude and commitment to agriculture, her club, and the West Lampeter fair, there is no doubt that she is a strong candidate to represent Lampeter-Strasburg and the Do Something Club. So watch out for Hailey Rohrer because nothing stands in her way! Not even a greasy pig or a smelly cow.

Advice: How to get straight As

By -

Achieving straight As, or an unweighted GPA of 4.0, is the goal of many high school students. Getting straight As involves a lot of hard work, but it isn't impossible. Here is how I believe you can get all As. Do your homework. The number of students who do not do their homework shocks me. But doing your homework has many benefits and will help keep your grades up. Those five points you receive for a homework check matter, and when you get a 0 out of 5, it matters even more. Doing your homework also helps you learn the information, raising your test and quiz grades as well. Don't procrastinate. Procrastination is the downfall of many high school students who are capable of good grades. When you receive an assignment, do it ASAP. And when you are given the date of a test, start studying immediately instead of waiting and then cramming the night before. When you do this, you are likely to be less stressed, which increases the quality of the work you do. Don't put

Book Review Before school started, I went to Barnes & Noble to get a few books from my favorite author, S.E. (Susan Eloise) Hinton, to read as the year started. I got That was Then This is Now , Rumble Fish , (a third copy of) The Outsiders , and Tex .  I had already read The Outsiders at least nine times, I had finished That was Then This is Now , and I had just finished Rumble Fish , so I decided to pick up Tex and start reading. The author of these books writes them in the only way I can ever read books. First person point of view with a relatable narrator.  This one was told by the point of view of Texas (Tex) McCormick, a fourteen year old boy who is living with his brother Mason because they’re mom died when Tex was little and their dad walked out on them a few months back.Texas (Left) and Mason (Right) McCormick Texas believes that Pop (their dad) will be back soon, but Mason knows otherwise…or at least he thinks he does. Tex has a few close friends and is r

A Harmonious Evening to Remember: The Lampeter-Strasburg District Chorus Concert

On March 14th, 2024, Lampeter-Strasburg High School hosted the District Chorus Concert. Students from 4th to 12th grade performed captivating songs, and the auditorium was packed full of friends and family members who came to watch the performance.  Preparation for the concert was a long process, but a much needed one. No one knew how to sing the songs in the beginning, but after several rehearsals and time to fix the small details, they got to the level they performed at on the 14th.  The evening started off with the youngest singers of the night: the 4th and 5th graders. Their performance was followed by the Martin Meylin Madrigal singers and chorus, followed by the High School Madrigals and chorus. To end the evening, all groups joined on stage to perform “Ad Astra” together, a beautiful piece consisting of Latin and English lyrics. The song received a standing ovation from many members of the audience.  “I think it was a beautiful event,” stated James Appelgrijn, a junior in the Hi
