Gavin Ball - Reporter Staff Photo On Friday, November 14, the University of Tennessee Martin hosted the Young Writers Conference. At this conference, UTM had two sessions, and each session had five classes that the students chose from. Personally, for my first session, I chose the “Maybe I Could Play a Tune” workshop, taught by David Carithers,  in which students were encouraged to write creative lyrics and express themselves musically and in new ways. The speaker play

Chloe Bruce - Reporter On November 13, 14 and 15, 2025, DHS and DMS choir students participated in the 2025 All Northwest Honor Choirs. They practiced for many hours on Thursday and Friday, and their performances on Saturday exhibited the hard work they put into their rehearsals.    Students had to go through an audition process to be a part of the honor choir. On audition day, they had to sing one of five selections, consisting of three cuts of their six songs.     Studen

There was “no time” to do it before, or maybe there was, but your brain decided otherwise. Days turn into hours until the deadline is finally here. Of course, the assignment stays, and it is still 11:58 going on 11:59.     “In my brain, the due date is when it needs to be started, not when it should be turned in. Until the day of

Peyton Bohannon - Section Editor Whether it is curling up on the couch and sipping on a warm drink or watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving with your family, it is undeniable that the autumn season is many people’s favorite. The season of fall is upon us, and as the days get colder, it is easy to fall into a bit of a depression.     There are countless ways people can uplift themselves during this somewhat dreary time.    The first course of action is getting comfortable.

Alyssa Odle - Reporter Photos by Alyssa Odle As the days grow shorter and the air turns colder, many students notice a quiet change within themselves. It becomes harder to wake up in the morning, harder to focus, and harder to feel motivated for things that once came easily. It is not just you—and it is not just laziness. What you are feeling might be something known as seasonal depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Seasonal depression happens when shifts i

Chloe Bruce - Reporter File Photos Tommy the Trojan is the beloved mascot of Dyersburg High School. Despite his fame, he has been relatively absent from the sidelines for the past couple of years. That changed this year, though, with the introduction of seniors Preston Sollis and Durrell Hopkins as the Tommies of DHS. When asked about his experience as Tommy, Sollis explained his mixed feelings. “It feels exciting and frightful at the same time,” Sollis said. He empha

Sofia Roy - Reporter    Dyersburg High School's teachers deserve a lot of recognition for the hard work they do, one of those being Mrs. Angela Lee. Mrs. Lee is Dyersburg High School's only health science teacher, resulting in her teaching a multitude of classes in the health science department.     Mrs. Lee teaches anatomy and physiology, health science, medical therapeutics, nurse-ed, clinicals, and medical terminology. She is also the HOSA sponsor, and her classroom is loc

Sofia Roy - Reporter Photos by Sofia Roy  Last weekend, the High School Beta club hosted their first BETA BOOFEST. There was a spectacular turnout and they are very happy with the results.     For the past few weeks, the sponsors and BETA officers have been planning a fall event for the children in the community. At this event, the children were encouraged to dress up in their halloween costumes and participate in multiple games to earn tickets. When the kids had enough tick

Alyssa Odle - Reporter Photos by Alyssa Odle With Halloween creeping up, students at DHS have one big question to settle— what is the best candy out there? More than 200 students voted in a school-wide candy poll, and the results were pretty clear. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups took first place, grabbing about 25% of the votes. Statistically, one in four people picked them as their go-to treat, which is not that surprising — chocolate and peanut butter never miss. In s

Reporter - Lainee Robey Photos from Pinterest Being a Tennessee Volunteer is more than just embodying the role; it is also dressing the part. Every Saturday, the University of Tennessee Football team has a game, where everyone shows their Vol spirit in their own way. Depending on the game, there is a specific color theme. Some games are the classic checkerboard theme, where, depending on the seat section of a fan it determines what color they dress in. Other games are a
