A Not So Hairy Situation
By Madison Conklin, The Paw Print, Bolton HS
In December, the Arlington Trappers hosted their annual Toys for
Tots fun shoot. The 8th annual event was held at the Memphis Sport
Shooting Association (MSSA) and had 40 shooters participate and
donated over 200 toys. This year the team was joined by shooters from
other teams and adults that are members at MSSA (). Partial ants were
from Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington, Rosemark, and Fayette County. For
each new unwrapped toy that was donated, the shooter could
participate in up to five events. New friendships were made, laughs
shared, and memories made.

Tuesday
night,
November 26th, in Bolton’s
Stage Light Theater Mr.
White, a drama teacher at
Bolton, “shaved goodbye” to
his luscious locks.
Donovan Hughes, junior,
made a bet with White that if
they sold out one of the show
nights of the school play,
“Inherit the Wind,” he would
shave his head.
“Inherit The Wind,” is a
play that fictionalizes the
1925 Scopes “Monkey” trial.
Hughes’ played Defense
Attorney, Henry Drummond,
and was confident in the
plays succession of a sold out
performance.
“The bet not only gave
me hope to destroy the lion
mane that was his hair, but it
also made the cast work
harder to make the show
fantastic and sell out,” said
Hughes.
On Monday night,
student night, for the first
time since 2008 they sold out
in the theater. This
performance was the first sold
out show Bolton has had
since their 2008 show “High
School Musical.”
White held true to his
word. After the standing
ovation from the crowd
Tuesday, Hughes made an
announcement that White
would be having his head
shaved by the Cosmetology
teacher at Bolton, Mrs.
Campbell.
So right there on the set,
Campbell began to cut away
at White’s hair, while the
drama students began to
make hair puns towards him.
He was “shaved from that
‘hairy situation’,” said
Hughes as Campbell took out
her equipment and began to
shave away at White’s hair.
Hair fell to the stage as
White’s cheeks turned bright
pink and audience members
snapped pictures of the event.
All in all, it was a “hair
raising,” experience for not
only the crowd, but the cast
too.
Upcoming for the Bolton
Stage Light Theater is a busy
spring. The Theater will be
putting on their spring
musical, “Beauty and The
Beast,” showing February
27th through March 4th. The
show will start at 7pm
Thursday-Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday, including a
2pm matinee on Sunday.
Breaking Barriers
By Emily Oare, The Paw Print, Bolton HS
The battle of the sexes
has been brought to Bolton.
This year BHS has
received multiple new
athletes in sports that were
previously considered meant
for the opposite sex.
Junior Cooper Henke has
been cheering competitively
for two years and decided to
bring his talents to Bolton on
the varsity football cheer
squad.
Senior
Percy
McClelland, has also joined
forces with the varsity
football cheer.
McClelland previously
played safety on Bolton’s
football team for the past
three years and decided to
peruse cheer rather than
continuing football. One
might say that this sport is for
girls but these two men
expressed the compliments
and encouragement they
receive daily for being guys
in a girl oriented sport. “Most
people think that it’s fun and
cool, and its fun to be able to
help the girls learn new
things,” Henke said.
McClelland spoke about
the support he gets from his
friends and the Bolton
student body.
Varsity
Football player, junior,
Donell Johnson said, “Percy
didn’t leave us [the team], he
still supports us and excites
the team and crowd.”
Cheer is not the only
t ea m r e c ei vi n g n ew
members. Junior Cierra
Green, has joined both the
football and the wrestling
team. She is a defensive
lineman for the football team.
Green continues to play hard
and keeps up with the teams
without a problem.
Senior Joey McCaskey, a
former BHS football player
said “It [football] is a
competitive sport and if
you’re not as big and strong
as the next person they wont
want to put you in the
position.”
A l t h o u gh f o o t b a l l
coaches declined an
interview, the wrestling head
coach Rod Galvin said,
“She’s the first girl I’ve
coached in wrestling and I’m
really excited to have her.”
The trap team has also
been gaining more girls on
the team, and is expecting to
receive possibly two more
girls to the mainly male sport.
Junior Lawrence Cooper,
said “It is different and very
interesting having both boys
and girls compete on the
same team.”
Senior Austin Ainsworth,
spoke about his feelings that
girls can compete just as well
as boys at trap even though
trap is mostly male. He said
he feels that girls always can
bring something interesting to
the table.
The golf team has been
added to the list of teams of
having someone daring
enough to ignore the
predominate number of the
opposite sexes and excel on
the team.
Junior Teresa Baker, has
joined the BHS golf team and
has been a medalist in four
matches so far. Coach Philip
Encalade, said, “Teresa is
extremely dedicated and will
be great at anything that she
sets her mind to.”
Despite the unfair
assumptions placed on these
sports, all of these strong
athletes continue to excel and
are determined to break
through those barriers. Bolton
is blessed to have such an
amazing group of strong
athletes that continue to
compete their way to the top.
