HOSA Cadaver Lab

By: Addison Williams and Paisley Smith

This past Tuesday, our HOSA members got the opportunity to visit Utah State University’s Cadaver Lab. There, the students were able to see many different cadavers. They also shuffled through stations and saw how organs sit differently in certain bodies. Emma Bird, HOSA Vice President, said this about the trip, “My instructor was funny and hit me with a spinal cord. I liked seeing all the body parts and how they fit in the body.” At each station, there was a whiteboard with various information about each cadaver like their name, the condition they were in, and the surgeries that had been performed on them. Baylor Bean, a Senior HOSA member, said, “My favorite part was seeing others squirm at each station.” This was a great experience for our HOSA members that plan on going into the medical field.

By: Paisley Smith and Addison Williams

On April 6th, Brynlee Bastian and the Student Council put on Mr. MHS for Brynlee’s Senior Project. This year there were ten wonderful participants competing for the title and many category awards. Before the competition, two of the categories had already occurred. Each participant had a ten-minute interview with the judges and the young man with the highest grade point average was decided. Kolton Cox, the Overall Interview Winner, expressed his feelings after winning the award, “I was somewhat surprised. My favorite part of Mr. MHS was holding the last note in my song, “Stars” from
Les Miserable.”

At the competition, the participants started with a fabulous opening number that wowed the audience and judges. The two groups then did their six-minute fitness routine. Curtis Huckaby, Mr. MHS, explained his feelings after winning, “I felt absolutely ecstatic. I enjoyed the fitness routine the most because it was fun.” After both groups had completed fitness, each participant performed their ninety-second talent. Hayes Teeples, one of the 2nd Alternates and the Overall Talent winner, said this about his award, “It felt good. My favorite part of the whole experience was sharing my 2nd Alternate award with Jes Schow.” To finish off the judged portion of the night, the participants then answered a question on-stage in their Self-Expression routine. 

In the end, everyone went home with at least one award. Zach Richardson got Luscious Locks and a Spirit award. Adam Reiss earned the Best Smile award. Ryan Hubbard received Self-Expression Runner-Up and Macho Muscles. Hunter Wray was awarded the Overall Fitness award. Dylan Moss got Best Dressed and Overall Self-Expression.

By Aubree Palmer and Alex Christensen

Friday the 15th, the Malad Dragons had the opportunity to go and compete in Fruitland, Idaho. For their first game, Malad went head to head with New Plymouth. When asking Bryson Howe about his perspective throughout the game he enthusiastically replied, “I feel like we did pretty good! We got some good hits.” Walking away with an incredible win, scoring 9-6, Malad triumphantly entered their second game. Facing Fruitland for their final showdown, Mr. Howe recounted the feeling before the game as, “pretty good” and fervently stated “I felt like we could have beat them.” Fighting with all they had to keep Fruitland at bay, the efforts of Malad High School’s Varsity Baseball team unfortunately did not contribute to a win. Nevertheless, they still fought hard, and promoted true Dragon pride and perseverance.
