This year the Co2 cars made by the physic classes at Payson High School were not only the fastest, but also the most stylish. “I do the cars partially for fun and to review what we’ve done and it’s a hands on experience.” said Mr. Van Ausdal, a Physics and Chemistry teacher at PHS.
This year’s musical was Little Shop of Horrors. The cast did a great job being hobos, drunks, semi-sadists and a man-eating plant. “It’s really fun to be a hobo,” said Shaunese, one of the hobos. For those of you who didn’t see the musical, you missed a creepy performance about a plant taking over the world, and Justin Craig being playing a drunk.
PHS goes to state, again!

On Thursday February 17, the Lion’s Roar Newspaper staff attended the 2011 Deseret News and UVU Review Journalism Conference at Utah Valley University. The writers and editors attended several workshops and seminars. They gained plenty of new knowledge about newspaper layout and writing articles.
The NHS and Student Council hosted a Senior Citizen’s Valentine’s Dance at the city center on February 11th. It was very fun and a good experience for the NHS/Student Council members that went. “I thought it was fun, and a good experience for students to get to know a different generation and get to know the things they do and have fun with,” said the NHS advisor Mrs. Bensen.
As we all should know, Japan has been hit with a devastating earthquake and then a tsunami. Thousands have lost their lives, and thousands more are missing. Those who survived the horrendous natural disaster are without food, power, gas, and drinking water. To help with the relief effort Isaac Webber is teaming up with his sister, Sara Webber, and Southern Utah University, to raise money for the Japanese people. Isaac is hoping that PHS will contribute to the fund by raising $500 dollars worth of donations.

The PHS Paysetters have really shown us what they can do. On December 4th they had their first competition at Davis High School and did amazing. They placed 2nd in their military and kick routine, and 3rd in dance. Competing against the reigning state champs, our Paysetters were still able to place 2nd. Great job Drill Team! On December 11th they competed again at Northridge High School. Although they didn’t place, they worked really well as a team, and did a great job. .
