The Battle of the Books: A Reading Competition
On Monday, December 4th my juniors walked into a classroom that was transformed into a café: desks were arranged into tables with checkered tablecloths, a fireplace was crackling on the whiteboard, and jazz lulled in the background. When students arrived, the looks on their faces were priceless and the excitement was contagious. High-interest books were scattered about each table, and each student’s seat was set with a menu. The occasion was our book tasting, where students “tasted” each of the nine books in order to find the best fit. Over the next five weeks, these students will participate in The Battle of the Books, which is a reading competition where students and their teams will battle about their literary knowledge.
The winners will not only be the recipient of a massive dose of pride, but they will be awarded an in-class ice cream Sundae bar and extra credit. At the end of the semester, teams will battle it out in an academic-team style competition that uses a buzzer system. I’m always impressed with student participation in this activity. There’s such a rush to knowing the answer and buzzing in fast enough, and I love watching the excitement and determination on their faces!

Advice for No Price
Dear Advice for no Price,
I'm failing half of my classes already. I don't know what to do any more because I can never get anything turned in on time. My mom is already mad at me, and I'm afraid of failing my freshman year. Please help me before I fail all of my classes.
-Needing Extra Credit
Dear Extra,
The best thing you can do is get your homework done and talk to your teachers. Tell your mom you are trying your best and are going to work harder in the future. Also if you're needing extra help go and get a tutor. It can never hurt to be prepared.
- Advice for No Price
Dear Advice for no Price,
My friend is having a hard time with her boyfriend not being truthful. He never responds to any of her text messages, and he never seems to have any interest in talking to her. We both think that he is cheating on her, but we don't have any proof. What should she do to make her feel secure in her relationship?
-Confused and Worried
Dear Confused,
Trust your gut feelings. If you think the guy is not trustworthy, then he's probably not telling you something important. Either your friend needs to have a good talk with her boyfriend, or she needs to break up with him. Next time she is having issues, she needs to talk it out with that person before having second thoughts.
-Advice for no Price
Dear Advice for no Price,
This girl won't leave me alone. She has been threatening my mom and won’t stop following me around. I'm starting to get totally creeped out. She also will not stop spreading nasty rumors about me. What do I do to make her leave me alone and stop all her drama?
-Can You Stop Bothering Me
Dear Stop,
Tell her to knock it off. If she wants to cause drama, tell her to go somewhere else because it’s weird and totally not your style of life. If this girl won't leave you alone, talk to an adult and let them know what is going on. If she’s threatening your mom, then she is going too far. If she threatens your parents again, talk to the cops or to her parents because I agree that she should not have the chance to be doing this.
-Advice for No Price
Dear Advice for No Price,
I'm having some problems with my teachers and friends. In some of my classes, I don’t agree with how this teacher is covering the subject matter. I feel like I should not be in the class because it makes me really uncomfortable. Within my friends, they all know how I feel within these classes, but they wont stop teasing me about it. What can I do to make myself feel comfortable and have my friends not tease me about it?
-Can You Just Not
Dear Not,
Within the fact of your teacher, you should talk to him before making drastic measures such as moving out of said class. You should tell your teacher that their style of teaching is making you uncomfortable. Within the friends issue, they most likely don't understand that their teasing makes you feel bad or upset. Talk to them and you will be able to figure things out with life. Just remember that everyone has problems with friends and teachers sometimes, so someone is probably feeling the same way as you at the moment.

Poetry: Let Me Be the Ocean
Let me be the Ocean.
Always unknown, frightening, the bare truth.
Then abandoned for not being an interesting factor.
I’d rather be the air, cherished of use
Falling into every crack and corner, I’d be everywhere
Wind - wavering within myself, I’d always feel free.
But I’m broken, I’ve fallen from the surface
I live but I feel unlively in the exposed madness of the cruelness in this world
To sway in the breezes of the sea would be forever lively
Carrying my meaning, my soul
Into the waves I wish I once was but know I will forever be.
I’d rather be the air
Always cherished and of great use
Rather than the overwhelming ocean
Drowning within the endless numbness of myself
Why am I not of great glory, and
Cherished of great use?
I’d rather be a wondrous breeze
Than a confusing body of chilling blue
If I could be the wind, strong and free
I’d rather be a wondrous breeze.

An Introduction to Our Newspaper
Dear Readers,
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and our newspaper club. I’m Caitlyn McIver, and I’m the newspaper advisor here at Frenchtown High School. Our paper is called The French Press. We meet during lunch on Fridays to discuss articles, editing, publication, distribution, and readership; however, students write the articles in their free time.
I am always so impressed with the individuals that come out for the club as they are high-achievers and avid writers and readers who bring so much to our school and to our community. This year, I am excited to have an energetic group of freshmen and sophomores who have some fantastic ideas. If you're a student and would like to get involved in the school's newspaper, please join us on Fridays during lunch in my classroom. All are welcome!
When it comes to students choosing what to write about, I tell them to pick something in which they are interested. The best writing always comes from what one knows and enjoys. In the French Press, you can expect to see student articles about sports, news, teachers, students, opinions and so much more. You’ll also see photographs, cartoons, and games that are created by students who have a passion for media arts.
Our goal is to publish, digitally and in-print, about every six weeks. Please look for us on the school’s web page, bathroom stalls, and various locations around the school and community. If you have an event or topic that you’d like The French Press to cover, please reach out to me at caitlynmciver@ftbroncs.org. As always, thanks for reading!
Best Regards,
Caitlyn McIver

Interviewers and article by: Aleah Knight and Tru Peters
Each week we ask four people three questions, and then the two of us record their answers in one article for your reading pleasure. So, without further ado…..
This Weeks Questions:
(1) What is your favorite food?
(2) What are you going to be for Halloween?
(3) Have you ever dyed your hair? If you have, what color did you dye it? If you haven't, what color would you want to dye it?
Mr. Faust was the first victim and this is what he had to say:
“Ummmmmmm, a quesadilla from the Tamarack.”
“I don't know”. . . .”Yah, I’ll be Tony the Tiger”. . . .”no the Frosted Flakes tiger.”
“No I haven't”. . . .”I would dye it silver gray, like a silver fox”
Ben Kolmer was the second chosen for this week and he said:
“[something not ordinarily eaten]!”
“I'm gonna be a person”
“I can’t say I have, but maybe I did in a previous life”....”hmmm, maybe.”
Mrs. McIver, our lovely newspaper adviser, was surveyed her answers were:
“A salad, a big one. Not a PATHETIC one. Or maybe, buffalo wings...oh, I got it, a buffalo wing salad from The Bridge.”
“Maybe I will be a fireman or firewomen” (yes! she scores point for equality for women).
“Yes, dark brown in college.”
Lilah Russell was the last lucky person to be questioned and she declared:
“Chicken enchiladas”
Her friend then said: “Oh ya, your moms enchiladas are so good.”
“Ha ha ha ha, ummm”....“Fine, little red riding hood.”
“No, I have [pure] hair”...”hmmm, I'd probably go dirty blond if anything” (proceeds to talk about what color she would dye her hair for the next couple minutes) “I would be a redhead.”
Thank you for reading this article in The French Press. Make sure to get the next issue to read the answers people have.
Dear Advice for No Price,
I want to ask a girl to homecoming, but I don’t know how. Some of my friends say I should just tell her, but I'm afraid of rejection. What do I do?
-Please Don't Reject Me
Dear Rejected,
The best thing you can do is to tell her how you feel. Rejection is bad but not knowing what she will reply with is worse. If she says no, then you have an opportunity to move on.

Dear Advice for No Price,
I don't know what to do with myself. I have no clubs or extracurricular activities, and I am super bored. All of my friends have something to do, but I don't. Please help me find something I'm interested in.
-Bored to Tears
Dear Tears,
Well, there are many clubs you can join, such as newspaper or speech and debate. Many of the fall sports are coming to an end, but you could think about joining winter sports.

World News Flash
By Jacob Kaneff
This month in the world, Ukraine has received its supposed first delivery of U.S. Abrams tanks, and crimes against humanity are being committed in Nagorno-Karabakh by its people, against its people. As for America, the government is 2 days from a partial shutdown, because a group of hardline conservatives and democrats are opposing a 30-day funding measure, also known as a CR (continuing resolution). This measure would cut overall spending to $1.47 trillion, which would mean a 30% cut in benefits for poor women and children and a 57% cut in spending for beating wildfires. An increased spending on defense and homeland security would result from this, but is it really worth it if we have to take from the well-being of the people in our country to achieve it?

Frenchtown's Rock Wall
Caitlyn McIver
Next time you walk into the elementary school’s gym, you may not recognize where you are as one of the walls has been transformed into an indoor rock climbing gym. The Colorado based company, El Dorado Climbing, designed and installed our traverse wall, auto belays, and rope routes! The traverse wall is a long section that allows climbers to cross from one end of the gym to the other. The auto belays are devices that allow climbers to climb on their own, up a vertical section of a wall. When a climber gets to the top, they simply let go of the wall and the machine slowly lowers them to the ground. The rope routes enable climbers to ascend vertical routes with a climbing partner who is pulling in the rope’s slack. Some of the routes are flat and straight up, while other sections are zigged-zagged with outcroppings. All of these exciting, new climbing routes have been designed for a variety of ages and experience levels. The fulfillment of the dream to bring the sport of climbing to the Frenchtown School District was made possible thanks to the determination of Mr. Devins, the support of the board, and the generous donations from our community members.
This past November, Mr. Joe Defulgentes and I took the intense, three day Climbing Wall Instructor Course through the University of Montana to become members of the American Mountain Guide Association, and we are super excited to teach students how to properly put on a harness, how to tie specific climbing knots, how to use the auto belays, and if you’re old enough, how to belay your peers. As someone who has climbed indoors and outdoors for the last ten years, I am so excited to be able to share the thrills and challenges of climbing with students. It truly is a sport you can do for many decades, all over the state and country. Keep an eye out for our “Introduction to Indoor Rock Climbing” classes, which will be offered in five-week sessions throughout the school year.
Viking Martial Arts
By Sybil Lynn
In 1999, the Belker family moved from North Dakota to Frenchtown Montana. The Belker family consisted of Eric, Ginger, Ashley, and Brittany. Eric Belker, Brittany and Ashley’s father, originally owned and ran a dojo in North Dakota. A massive flood in North Dakota caused the family to move to Montana. They bought two old buildings that were in the late 1800’s. In September of 1999, Eric and Ginger Belker opened Viking Martial Arts. Ginger and Brittany were raised in the dojo, learning important ideals such as competitive greatness, confidence, and loyalty. In 2016, Brittany and Koa Perbera purchased the dojo and fitness center from Eric and Ginger. When asked what her favorite part about the dojo was, Brittany Perbera said it was “the family that we get through the community and the kids. That is the reason we run the dojo”. VMA karate and the Frenchtown Fitness Center provide a safe environment for adults and children to have fun and be themselves. Be on the lookout for the upcoming karate tournament on April 9, 2022 at Frenchtown High School.
Global News
By Kimberly Diehl
Recently, attention has been on Ukraine, a country in East Europe with a population of over forty million people. Ukraine is currently being invaded by Russia. This invasion has displaced millions and is reported to have killed up to six hundred civilians, a result of a nearly decade-long border dispute between Russia and Ukraine. It has also complicated international politics involving NATO and its members, including the EU and the US.
It is important to understand the reasons behind the invasion and how this devastation has come about. The history of modern-day Ukraine can be traced back to the Cold War, which led to Ukraine becoming a sovereign nation in 1991. This led to support from the EU and the US as the people of Ukraine worked to build a democracy. However, Russia has a strict influence over Ukraine, since people in east Ukraine share a language and culture with Russia. Russia, under Putin's oligarchy, has been supporting rebel groups in south Ukraine, and even caused the independence of the Crimean peninsula, all to prevent NATO from bordering Russia completely and to gain access to ports.
The US and European Nations have been instrumental in Ukraine's politics and sovereignty, but the help they can provide is limited. While NATO can send troops to guard bordering members, its role in the invasion of Ukraine is limited to Economic and Humanitarian aid. This is because of the complex role of NATO, a trust of the world's European and North Atlantic military power formed because of the Cold War. NATO has granted membership to nations that were under the USSR and on the border of Russia, and temporary membership privileges have been expanded to Ukraine, but for fear of further Russian aggression, Ukraine is blocked from joining NATO and gaining allies from Europe and America. This is because if Ukraine, which has areas under Russian occupation, is a part of NATO, the agreement would call for an all-out war between all of the NATO nations and Russia. This would be a global conflict between the world's most powerful militaries, which are equipped with nuclear weapons.
The territorial fight between Russia and Ukraine has been underway since Ukraine's independence, and over the past decade it has killed possibly millions. However, the situation had escalated in the past months. Putin has declared, in his words, "A special military operation," and Russian troops have invaded all sides of Ukraine with the intent of occupation. Millions of Ukrainians have become refugees and hundreds have been killed. Sanctions put in place to reprimand Russia have the potential to cause global economic repercussions. While the causes and effects are unclear, Ukraine's sovereignty and peace are of the utmost importance, reminding the world of its biggest issues, what a modern-day world war would look like, and the fight for democracy and human rights everywhere.
Music in Film
By Jasmine Dana
The film industry and the music industry collide in a way that is unique to any other entertainment medium. Musicals use the musical component to provide characters' actions or words to move the story. For example, in the award-winning musical Hamilton, how boring would it be if Eliza didn’t have a whole song dedicated to her moving on from Alexander? The actions Eliza goes through during the song now hold the weight of feeling betrayed and heartbroken. Those same actions wouldn’t have held any deep meaning if Eliza had just set the letters aflame and walked off stage. Genres like horror and romance often use music the same way musicals do. Music is added in certain scenes to help the audience feel the suspense of a jump scare, or the suspense of letting the lover get on that plane. Music in films pushes the story to a deeper meaning than one can see. Music enhances the emotion expressed in a film, and it helps enhance a character arch. Although it might not always be the center of attention, the music in the background is making you more aware of the intent and feelings of a character.

The Cheapest Spring Break Vacation Locations
By Elena Garrard
The weather is getting warmer, and the sun is staying out later. That can only mean one thing: spring break is getting closer. If you are anything like me, you have been waiting for a break from school and an opportunity for an adventure. The high plane ticket prices might be holding you back from fulfilling your traveling dreams, but I have a solution for you. With Google Flights, I was able to find the three cheapest flights out of the Missoula Airport. First, you can get a nonstop, roundtrip flight to Las Vegas with Aligent for $93. Second, you can fly nonstop to Los Angeles with Aligent for $103. This flight is also roundtrip. Last, you can get a ticket to Seattle for $227 with Alaskan airlines. These flights can only be booked for these prices for a certain date, so check them out before it's too late! Good luck on your adventures!

Popularity: Are We Looking at It from the Right Angle?
Liv Peters
Popularity: everyone wants to be popular, but what does it even really mean to be popular? Well, if we are going off of the Oxford Languages Dictionary definition, popularity is the state or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people. However, this definition still leaves much up for interpretation, such as what being liked, admired or supported really means or what types of people one must associate with to be considered popular. As such, many different interpretations of popularity have developed, with the most common interpretation being that popularity means being included and invited to events in which handsome jocks, stunning women, and partying people are present.
Nevertheless, many of these people we strive to be around in order to gain our claim to fame are usually not making the best choices. In fact, it is not uncharacteristic of these sports people and crowd-pleasers to choose to prioritize their social reputation over their mental, emotional, and physical health, and consequently, as one begins to spend more time with these individuals, these bad habits inevitably begin to become his or her own. An innocent boy who has sworn off drugs and alcohol will choose to succumb to peer pressure and participate in underage drinking in the face of popular athletes, alluring girls, and other individuals that embody “life of the party” qualities. A hard working female student will neglect her weekend’s homework in fear of skipping out on a life changing social event with her popular “friends”. A modest teenage girl will show more skin than she is comfortable with and risk getting dress-coded just to get the attention of the captain of the football team, and an older brother responsible for picking up his siblings after school may even evade his familial responsibilities to smoke in the parking lot with the “cool kids.”
I don’t know about you, but personally, I disapprove of the habits society currently endorses under this interpretation of popularity. It is time this perception is overturned, and instead, replaced with one in which we revere those who work hard, abide by a moral code, and freely give their kindness and support to all regardless of “what’s in it for them.” Popularity shouldn’t be about getting invited to the most parties; it should be about having integrity and character, about being the person that everyone can rely upon for support in their times of triumph and in their times of trial. So, as the first quarter of the school year comes to a close, I implore you to ponder the question: Am I looking at popularity from the right angle? If not, well then, I suggest you start.
The Parental Paradox
Caitlyn McIver
I used to think teacher-tired was the deepest level of exhaustion a person could experience, that was of course, until I discovered new-mom tired. Hopefully I’m not jinxing myself, but surely I must have now reached the apex of my own bleariness. Where there used to be 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep, there’s now six fragmented ones--and that’s on a good night! Completing mundane tasks like vacuuming have taken on Olympic qualities, and all new-parents that run (forget about exercise) several errands, deserve the gold. Leisure time has morphed into rushing to finish things started weeks ago; significant outdoor recreation is on hold until 2023 as are vacations, unless I find time to take a shower, in which case, the shower is the vacation.
Nonetheless, all of these lifestyle changes aren’t a surprise as everyone’s heard the tired cliché “having a baby changes everything.” It seems frustratingly obvious, yet this phrase contains a hidden paradox: what is most changed by having a baby is one’s appreciation for his or her parents, but an individual can’t fully appreciate their parents until he or she has had a baby that doesn’t appreciate them.
I can now empathize with my mom and dad’s joys and sorrows as I reevaluate events in my life from their perspective, such as my first solo-international trip when I flew to South America for a month. After 20 hours of flights and layovers, I landed in Quito, Ecuador at 4am on New Years Eve, arriving at my hostel only to immediately go to sleep--too tired to text my parents that I had safely arrived. The next morning, I was enjoying breakfast on the rooftop with an impressive, international crowd when the owner bellowed into the sky “Is there a Kat-E-Lyn Ber-Cow-Its here? Your dad is on the phone.” I was belligerently mad; I felt violated by his need to check-in on me. As my dad asked about my well-being, I was curt and bewildered by how he’d found me as I had shared scant information.
Now, I look back on this event and think: what the heck was wrong with me? My dad set me up with an international cell phone to periodically check in so he and my mom could have some sense of peace, and I hadn’t even bothered to turn it on. Today, I understand how he found my hostel amongst the dozens, and how he assembled enough Spanish to track me down. It’s because good parents will do anything to make sure their babies are safe.
Perhaps parenting is a lot of sacrifice and silent suffering, but it’s also the most fulfilling of all human experiences. There’s nothing that parallels the joy of giving a child what it needs to grow, develop, and hopefully, flourish. I’m just now fully realizing all the ways in which I tortured my mom and dad with my wild ways and selfish choices, but I’m also understanding what compelled them to put up with me. This realization is ultimately what changes the way you see the world, and it’s how a baby changes everything.
