JROTC students participate in annual Pass-in-Review Event at Lincoln High School part of military tradition By Emily VanBockern embers of the Army Jr. Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) classes at WHS participated in their annual Pass-in-Review Wednesday at Lincoln High School, an event culminating the year’s activities for the JROTC programs of the Sioux Falls Public School District. Members of the Marine Corps JROTC from Lincoln High School also participated in the event. The Pass-in-Review consists of the cadets presenting themselves on the football field of the hosting school, reminiscent of the days of soldiers-past mustering on a field of honor. A guest speaker—this year retiring Lincoln Principal Val Fox—also provides comments on the activities and involvement of the JROTC cadets and their addition to the culture of the schools and the district. This is followed by the cadets marching past the reviewing

There are only about 15 school days left until we are released from the halls of WHS and dive head-first into our long awaited summer vacations. Summer is a time to sit back, relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. Although all students look forward to a three-month long break, this is the last hoorah for the graduating class of 2017. This is also the time for an event worthy of Great American Tradition staHear me. . . tus—the senior trip! Po r t r a ye d through a plethMaham Shah ora of movies and television shows, senior trips are known as an exciting time to kick back and relax with friends, or to have the time of your lives. Some people have a misguided belief that this trip must be an extravagant and a luxurious trip to some random island. This is false! These trips can range from the Black Hills of South Dakota to regional destinations Minneapolis or Omaha to coasts like Florida or California or even somewhere out of the country! No matter the destination, it is the company that you surround yourself with that truly counts. This may be the last time your friends and you are in the same place at the same time, so take advantage of this summer and make it the best and most adventurous time you can! Use this opportunity to make memories with your friends that will be sure to last a lifetime. Senior Maham Shah will be taking a senior trip to Cancun in June.

Tesla begins taking solar roof orders By Samantha Masunaga and Ivan Penn Los Angeles Times (TNS) Tesla’s high-design solar roofs are moving a step closer to a housetop near you. Tesla Inc. is accepting orders for its electricity-generating roofs, with a Wednesday afternoon kickoff. Chief Executive Elon Musk teased the announcement on Twitter early Wednesday, saying deployment in the U.S. would begin this year and overseas delivery and installations would start in 2018.
Technology Watch He added that his company’s solar glass roofs could be purchased for homes nearly anywhere in the world. Homeowners will need to pay $1,000 to reserve a spot on the order list. A typical homeowner looking to replace a 3,000-squarefoot roof with the solar roof could expect to pay about $21.85 per square foot, Tesla said. That price doesn’t include tax credits and applies to a roof that is 35% covered with electricity-generating tiles. The roofs are a mix of non-generating tiles and solar tiles, which cost more, though both tiles look identical, Tesla said. Musk said during a call with reporters Wednesday that the roofs could be made up of as much as 70% active solar tiles, though most houses would have about 40%.
