Mr. Robert Henninger’s Social Studies classes have made a working prairie schooner made with authentic rough sawn lumber, metal rimmed oak wheels from an Amish craftsman, canvas covered, filled with items the pioneers would have taken on the 6 month treacherous trip. Items such as an oak barrel, trunks, sacks of grain and flower, old pots, lanterns, and feather beds. We will take this wagon up and down hills, across a stream on campus, simulating the Oregon Trail dressed in long dresses, bonnets, flannel shirts and appropriate western hats. They will stop and pan for gold, wash clothes with a washboard, sing around a campfire and saw wood with a two handled saw. If a passing car hears the strains of “Oh Susanna”, it’s us learning the life on a wagon train on the Oregon Trail.
This has never been done before and is an exact replica. The size material and function is the same as 150 years ago. This should be fun and educational and a great photo opportunity.

The principal, Mr. Timothy Rankin, of McDowell High School, announced today that Timothy R. Barthelmes, Caleb P. Kelly, Robert J. Mingey and Christopher P. Shoup have been named Commended Students in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2009 competition for National Merit Scholarships, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2009 competition by taking the 2007 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Recognition of academically talented students and the key role played by schools in their development is essential to the pursuit of educational excellence in our nation,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “The young people named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding academic potential by their strong performance in this highly competitive program. We hope that this recognition will enhance their educational opportunities and that they will continue to diligently pursue their professional goals.
