Archbishop Philip Matthew

Hannan passed away Thursday, Sep-

tember 29 at 3 a.m. in his sleep. He

spent his last days at the Chateau de

Notre Dame, a senior complex and

elder care facility. He was moved

there in June 2011 when he grew

increasingly frail due to serious

stokes and other medical issues.

held for the people of New Orleans

to pay their last respect.

High School. He then continued his

education at St. Charles College

when he decided he wanted to pur-

sue a career as a priest. Afterwards,

he went to Rome to continue study-

ing at North American College. He

was ordained a priest on December

8, 1939.

After his ordination, he not

only served his people, but joined

the United States Military to serve

his country. He served as a chaplain

to the

82nd Airborne

Division. He was

a paratrooper and

a minister to the

troops in World

War II. Because

he parachuted so

often while in the

Army, he was

nicknamed the

‟Jumping Padre.‟

.

Philip Hannan was as-

signed to New Orleans in 1965,

and served as Archbishop until

1998 at 75 years of age.

Archbishop Hannan was

98 years old the when he died. He

was an impeccable person, and his

death upset many people. Hannan

was a priest for71 years . OS-

Vdailytake.com describes him as

an “intelligent, dashing, daring,

engaging, and confident person.”

Archbishop Philip Hannan

will forever be a large part of the

history of New Orleans; and he

will always be a part of the Han-

nan Community.

The Opinion Page BULLYING By:Rachel Scallan

Bullying is a significant

problem and is steadily increas-

ing. Mean behavior among kids is

a universal problem. In a poll of

232 kids in kindergarten through

8th grade at a Connecticut ele-

mentary school, every child

claimed to have been the victim

of at least one schoolmate‟s or

sibling‟s meanness in the previ-

ous month. It is estimated that

160,000 children miss school

every day due to fear of attack or

intimidation by other students.

Bullying is a form of ag-

gressive behavior that is inten-

tional, hurtful, and/or threatening

and persistent. There are many

different types of bullying such as

direct bullying, verbal bullying,

indirect bullying, and cyber bully-

ing. Direct bullying includes

things such as hitting, shoving,

kicking, and shouldering. Verbal

bullying includes things such as

name calling, threats, and insults.

Indirect bullying is gossiping,

glares and dirty looks, intimida-

tion, humiliation, threatening ges-

tures, etc. Cyber bullying is nega-

tive text messages on cell phones,

e-mail, or voice-mail messages.

Although boys and girls

both can be bullies, there are

some differences. Boys use more

direct behaviors and may use

more physical aggression

than girls do. Boys usually use

more indirect bullying as their

verbal skills increase. Boys are

just as likely as girls to use so-

cial and emotional taunting.

Girls are aggressive, but

may use more indirect behaviors

to damage relationships and can

be sneaky and nasty. Girls also

seek to inflict psychological

pain on their victims, which

could have long-lasting effects.

Another difference is that girls

bully in groups more than boys

do.

According to the Ameri-

can Medical Association, 3.7

million youths engage in bully-

ing, and more than 3.2 million

are victims of “moderate” or

“serious” bullying each year.

Bullying occurs mainly in hid-

den areas and areas lacking adult

supervision. Why do students

being bullied, keep it a secret?

They are embarrassed or feel

shame because they feel no one

likes them or they feel shame

because they cannot stand up for

themselves.

Bullying should be

stopped. Bullying creates a fear-

ful school climate. Not only are

students being bullied, but other

students may worry they may

become victims. Bullying can

lead to many bad things such as

suicide and may encourage vic-

tims to join a cult, drug group,

or hate group to find acceptance

and a sense of belonging. Bully-

ing also

contributes to poor school attendance.

Bullying can lead to loneliness, low

self-esteem, depression and anxiety

disorders, eating disorders and other

long-lasting harmful emotional effects

in the adult years.

The victims of bullying aren‟t

the only ones that can be harmed. Bul-

lies are more likely to get into trouble,

smoke, drink, and fight. Sixty percent

of students that were bullies in grades

six to nine had at least one criminal

conviction by age 24 and 40 percent

had three or more arrests by that age.

Bullies may also grow up to abuse

their spouse, children, and coworkers.

Bullying is something that

should be stopped. Bullying could in-

crease if people don‟t do something

about it. It is a very bad thing that can

affect everyone.

Sports Football: Positive Season

By Zachary Castelluccio

This year, the Archbishop Hannan foot-

ball team has more wins than the team did in the

last two years.

The football team has made big changes

in this year‟s team, breaking a school record by

starting 5-0 for the first time. Although, the

Hawks fell short to Southern Lab, it was not a

blowout like last year‟s contest when they

played at Southern Lab to lose 56-7. This year

the Hawks showed what changes they have

made with a close score of 15-7. Despite the

loss against Southern Lab and Kentwood last

week, the Hawks still have the chance to do

something that Hannan hasn‟t seen in a long

time, make the playoffs.

The offense has been stellar this year,

averaging 34 points per game. Sophomore quar-

terback Korey Zeigler leads the team in passing

yards with 770 yards coming off of 56 comple-

tions and 98 attempts. He has thrown six touch-

downs and four interceptions on the season.

Starting sophomore running back Michael

Froeba leads the team in rushing with 718 yards,

chipping in eight touchdowns. Zeigler is a big

contribution to the Hawk running game, adding

543 yards with a team high of 10 touchdowns.

Leading sophomore receiver Jason Brooks has

34 receptions for 431 yards with four touch-

downs thus far in the season.

The game Thursday, October 20th was

unfortunately a loss. The team did as best they

could, but it still wasn‟t enough to win. The

team hopes to do better next week.

The defense has been excellent at turning the ball over

causing a total of 17 takeaways averaging 2.4 turnovers a game.

Junior Collin Becnel has 42 solo tackles (second most) with eight

assists and nine deflections. Leading the team in total tackles is

sophomore Jack Witte with 39 solo tackles and 16 assists.

Philip Kranz and Bruce Di-

Martino tackle Haynes Acad-

emy's quarterback. They hit

him in the back field and

Haynes lost a couple yards.

Hawks Volleyball By Collin Becnel

The Hawks Volleyball

team is having a good season

this year.

Coach Pujol is an

amazing coach and is a

big help to the team, but the

girls also have a great deal of talent.

In some of the games, they

just dominate the other teams. For example, whenever

Kassadi Monica sets the ball and Sydney Finch spikes

the ball, the other team cannot stop it.

The girls record this year is 18-8. Kassadi

Monica says that “the girls are going to do work for the

rest of the season and in the playoffs.” The Lady Hawks

are district champions for the third year in a row this

season.

When asked about what she does to prepare for a

game, Kassadi Monica says, “ I just warm up.”

If the girls plan on wining the district title and

going far into the playoffs, they are going to have to

play like they have been doing this entire season.

Cross Country By Collin Becnel

The Cross Country team for Hannan is working

hard.

They have had several meets and have done ex-

ceptionally well. Working hard on long distance runs

around the school‟s campus, they will do great in their

upcoming events or meets.

Ms. Bennett is their new coach this year and she

is doing a great job!

The volleyball

game took place at

AHHS gym. Hawks

played First Baptist, who

barely came out on top.

The volleyball game was

best three out of five. The

entire game, the crowd

was on the edge of their

seats. The first game, the

Hawks lost 22-25, the

second game, the Hawks

won 25-21. The last and

final game was the most

important, but the Hawks

lost 23-25.

On the same day, follow-

ing the volleyball‟s un-

fortunate loss, the foot-

ball team also had a dis-

appointing loss. The

Hawks played against

Varnado, who is one of

their toughest opponents.

Both teams played ex-

traordinary games, but it

was Varnado High

School that came out on

top with a 36-14 win.

We will miss our seniors

next year and we all wish

them well in their future

endeavors.

It‟s senior‟s night AHHS honors senior athletes at annual Senior Night

ASK VERNA

What came first, the chicken or the egg? -My personal belief is that God made the chicken before the egg. Take Adam and Eve for example, God made them first, then they had babies. I like to take the same approach on chickens. I remind you, this is no fact, just my personal opinion. I'm bad at math and have trouble asking questions because I get scared and don't want to be annoying. How do I fix this problem? -Never be scared to ask questions! Asking questions is the only way you can improve on something. However, if you really are scared to ask questions during class, you should consider going to see your teacher during their tutorial hours. This way you still get the help you need, just not in front of the whole class. Don't worry about being annoy-ing, because teachers like students who ask questions...this way they know you're trying! P.S. I'm TERRIBLE at math too, so I feel ya! Who is Verna? What grade? Hints? -Never, never, never.

I just got my first boyfriend and we’re to-gether a lot, but my friend is upset be-cause she thinks I'm ditching her for him. What do I do? -This is a tricky question because I have personally been on both sides of this pre-dicament. I know having a boyfriend can be really exciting at first, but your friend is probably feeling left out and forgotten. Re-member that friends should ALWAYS come first. Your boyfriend should understand that spending time with your friends is very im-portant. Also, a good solution to this problem is to try and figure out a way to hang out with them both at the same time...everyone wins! I would now like to end this answer in the form of a quote: "High school is not the time to find your groom, high school is a time to find your bridesmaids." What's your favorite subject, and why? -I love religion class because it is never bor-ing and I have such an interesting teacher. Class is always fun, and there is always new things to learn and think about. Plus, 100 years from now, it'll be the only class that matters! How low can you go? -THIS LOW.
