Many know T.J. Meredith as the persistent UGA fan,

but at PHS everyone knows him as the kind-hearted

Hornet Senior. T.J. has been a vigorous member of

the FFA and FCA throughout his high school career.

He has also been involved in track and field his 10th

through 12th grade years at PHS. In his spare time,

he likes to hang out with friends and cheer on the

Dawgs. T.J. says the teacher that has inspired him

the most during his years at PHS is Dr. Boyd be-

cause he is simply an all-

around awesome teacher and

mentor. As far as after high

school, T.J. is still weighing his

options between joining the

military or getting a degree in

law enforcement or medicine.

Good luck, T.J.!

Busy senior Shawnee Fenton is known around The

Hornet’s Nest as a hardworking and compassionate

young lady. Shawnee has been a

member of the FFA, 4-H, Youth

Advisory Board, and Hornet

Tennis Team for her entire high

school career. Shawnee has also

showed swine and goats all four

years of high school. Shawnee was also a member of

the Lady Hornet Softball Team her 9th grade year. In

her spare time she likes to relax and hang out with

friends and family. Shawnee says the teacher that has

inspired her most during the course of high school is

Mrs. Whigham, because she always pushes her to her

fullest potential. After graduation, Shawnee plans on

going to college to major in Ag. Communication and

minor in Animal Science. Good luck, Shawnee!

This week’s PHS Twins of the Week are Sophomores, Talia and Tamia

Hallmon. When asked how it feels to be twins, both of them replied

they like it because they always have a friend and someone to talk to.

They feel that it is unique that their “birth” day was only one hour and

five minutes away from being on different days. Tamia is older than

her sister, Talia. They both love to show school spirit by being PHS

cheerleaders. During

their spare time, they

like to sit in their room,

listen to music, watch

TV, and talk to one

another. These two are

identical; the only way

people can distinguish

the difference between

them is that Talia has a

scar on her forehead. Since the girls love the twin life so much, they

do not get upset when people call them by the wrong name. We wish

you both the best as you journey through your PHS years!

This year’s drama class will be performing a play entitled: And They Dance Real Slow In Jackson. It is to be per-

formed in competition on October 26th. They will also be performing it for the school on October 24th.

Drama Twins of the Week

Meeting at the Pole

Each year, students in the Pelham City Schools meet

at 7:30 AM at the school’s flag pole to pray for the students and teachers in

the school system and for the nation’s safety.

Pageant Girl Takes it All, Y’all

Recently, PHS Senior Whitney Harrell competed in the Sumner, GA pageant. Whitney competed in a beauty and

modeling competition; she had to recite an on-stage introduction and was required to answer an on-stage question. The panel of

judges scored the contestants based on their poise, confidence, and accuracy in these categories. Out of all the contestants in the pageant, Whitney scored highest overall and

received the Supreme title! She also received awards for prettiest eyes, smile, and dress. Congratulations, Whitney!

This game will be available October 29, 2013; if

you have pre-ordered or plan to buy it, prepare to play this game of the week!

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) club is showing off their

spirit by having a dress down week at school, also known as FFA week. This has been a tradition at Pelham High School for many years. National FFA week is always the last week of February, but

PHS celebrates FFA Week before Nationals begin. Monday was the Camo and Muddy truck day; Tuesday was Sports day; Wednesday was Blue and Gold day; Thursday is Career Day, and Friday is

Award Day. The students who

participated and showed the most spirit will win an award on

Friday. If you are interested in joining FFA,

see Mr. Young.

Interesting Fact of the Week

A fresh new club is being formed at PHS called Best Buddies! Best

Buddies is a club that strives to break the

barriers between Special Education stu-

dents and non-Special Education students.

Each student who is a member of the club

will be paired with a Buddy; each student

and his Buddy will have weekly communication, whether it is via

phone call, letter, gift, or a face-to-face visit. The Best Buddies

club plans to have monthly meetings to plan holiday gatherings

with their Buddies. Best Buddies would like to change the social

exclusion of Special Education students in schools. See Mrs.

Beasley or Karly Fletcher to be a part of the change!
