MHS Student News November 2021
Year 2 of The Rocket!
Why the Rocket? We decided to pay homage to our original team name back before there was a Zenith or Panda. Way back then, our basketball team was the Rockets. I hope you enjoy it. If you have anything cool you think should be in our publication, let us know.

because I said I would
On Thursday, October 21st, we had a Because I Said I Would Day where everyone wore their t-shirts that they received last year. Because I Said I Would is all about making promises and keeping them, and we hope students are all inspired to keep their word.

Crystals by Annessa
Crystals are the current craze, Understandably too. Crystals can help bring balance to your life in any area you may need it. But before you rush to go buy some. It’s best if you do some research first. Knowing your crystal is a very important factor.
It’s necessary to research your crystal. Now you might ask yourself, What do I need to know, questions like what type of properties does your crystal have? For example, Amethyst is a very good beginner crystal. Why? Because it is a grounding crystal that helps calm you, It’s good for anxious people and people who can’t control their emotions well. What Crystals counteract your crystal? Many crystals will actually cancel each other out if their energies are too different. A good pairing is Rose quartz and carnelian, Rose quartz can help with self-love and Carnelian helps boost confidence Those crystals work well together. A bad pairing would be Amethyst and Carnelian. The reasoning for this is Amethyst calms you but the Carnelian would cancel that out, making both crystals useless together. How to recharge your crystal? There are multiple ways of recharging your crystal. Moonlight, Water, Sunlight, and even your own energy are different methods that could recharge your crystal. But it’s important to know which method could harm your crystal, and which method benefits your crystal the best. Finally, is your crystal water soluble? Knowing if your crystal is water-soluble is important cause some crystals need cleaning with water and others just need a cleansing. In order to cleanse your crystal, you need incense, The smoke will cleanse your crystal of bad energy. These are just a handful of questions that could get you on your crystal journey.

Anonymous Love Letter to Arianna S
Dearest Arianna
Every day I wake up, I wake up in agony, for you are not by my side. My pancakes taste stale, and my coffee is bitter without you. The rich amber colours in the trees fade into pale greys, and the icy wind blows right through me. To hold your soft hand would be greater than the riches of this world. Your sweet smile brings luminosity to my dark days and fills my cold heart with joy.
Call me back,

Anonymous Love Letter to Megan C.
Megan
Oh, my sweet Megan, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you… If the bright sun in the sky were to explode and destroy every fibre of this earth, leaving naught but tiny atoms, my love for you would not waiver. If a herd of ferocious wildebeest with hooves of steel and horns of brass trampled me into the ground, pulverizing my bones into dust, I would still find the strength to hold your dainty hand. If I had been starved for one hundred years and were presented with the most glorious feast known to man, I would gladly upturn the tables to make room for your mini cooper. If the one and only Chris Evans asked for my hand in marriage, I would spit in his face and recite my undying love for you.…
Love,

Anonymous Love Letter to Hailey S.
Hailey
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometimes too hot, the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Hello Gamers, this months Rocket we’ll be doing Titanfall 2.
Without spoiling too much,Titanfall 2 is a game that combines parkour and first person shooter aspects that fits well with most common gaming skills.
The IMC (Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation) is a mining company that is exploiting their riches and destroying homes.
Militia colonists start fighting back, sparking a civil war.
Cooper (you) and his titan BT-7274 must fight against ‘bad guys’ and robots while trying to survive. There is also a bit of time travel as you try to get back to the militia to help them fight against the IMCs secret weapon.
Be on the lookout
for next month's newsletter.

Magrath football comets players
The Comets had an amazing season this year including some of our very own Magrath players playing on the starting lines. If you have watched a game this year you might have recognized some of our very own students on the field. They had some amazing seniors on the team including Keston Henry, he hasn't played since grade 9 and made an incredible comeback this year. Tanner Morales was out for most of the seasons due to a knee injury but made an amazing appearance last game as our kicker. Brock Barnett played the first couple of games as their quarterback for the first time ever in his football career.
Here are some words from our very own Magrath players
