Mr.

World Religion recently studied Hinduism and Buddhism in class, and much like those two religions, Jainism originated in India and shares many of the traits and practices of those faiths. Mr. Mehta related his own experiences within the Jain faith and discussed some of the more traditional beliefs and practices. Students asked great, though-provoking questions that led to wonderful discussions throughout his visit.

Parking Pass Information - Important!
|
 Just a friendly reminder to have student parking passes visible on the car they bring to school (If they use multiple cars, make sure it's on the one they bring to school). We have been experiencing students taking parking spots without a pass so the police will be checking.
Also, there are still passes available for the 2016-2017 school year. The North Lot $100 (big lot attached to the school) has 7 passes left and the East Lot $50 (smaller one across the street) lot has about 20 left.

Click
here to see the list of Senior Pictures Received
.
The deadline is TODAY!
Senior Picture Requirements:
- Senior pictures are due JANUARY 6, 2017. If you have a photo that you would still like to submit after January 6, a $25 fee will occur.
- If a senior picture is not submitted, the Life Touch ID photograph will be used.
- Please email one digital file of your photograph to yearbook@huhs.org. It must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi. If you cannot send a digital file, we can digitize it, but this will reduce the quality from the original. Please name your file with your last name, _ , then your first name (example: doe_john.jpg). File types can be .jpg or .tiff
- Photos must be vertical color prints, with no props, no pets, no hats, and have a simple background. Dress needs to be school appropriate. Remember, the pictures in our yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should show just the head and shoulders. We want to maximize your face size.
- Many local photographers have these deadlines and may the send the photo for you if you ask. Please understand that your photographer will need probably 6 weeks or more to get photos done. This means you should have your pictures taken by the middle of November to get them done with enough time to spare.
- We cannot accept prints from a Laser or inkjet home computer printer.
Any students who do not turn in senior pictures will have their HUHS school picture published in the yearbook.
If you have any questions, contact me, Ms. Jana Danay, yearbook adviser, at either
yearbook@huhs.org or
jana.danay@huhs.org

Some News from Activities & Athletics
|
Player of the Year - Christian Tyrpak
|
 Do more. Be smarter.
Those were the words, in essence, Hartford Union's coaches told senior forward Cristian Tyrpak as the 2016 season - his senior year - began.
Tyrpak netted 30 goals in three varsity seasons previously, so scoring more was not an issue. He netted 21 as a senior, to close with 51.
His goal total stands third in school history behind James Weber (173) and Colin O'Brien (64), while his 61 points ranks seventh on the school's list.
However, the staff asked for a mindset change.
Tyrpak admittedly always wanted to score, always wanted the ball at his feet. Since the game first beckoned him to the pitch, the four-year varsity player wanted to be the one fans cheered after a goal was scored.
Longtime Orioles coach Jack De Selm attempted to rein in Tyrpak, in a sense. It was easy at first - he wasn't the offensive focal point as a freshman and sophomore, and scored just 10 goals between 2014-15.
He then added four assists to a junior-year 20 goals. Yet they
wanted more.
"My coach put me into a couple different roles (in 2016) where he knew teams would be man-marking me, double-teaming me," Tyrpak said. "So he would have me pull them away."
Stop trying to go 1-on-2, or even 1-on-3. Be a dummy, draw the defense out. Be a playmaker, but in a different sense.
"One of his objectives was to win as many games as possible, including conference," De Selm said. "We knew that if we played him in certain positions, it would open up the necessary spacing for others to fill the gap and have the ball fed to them."
The Orioles reached the Division 1 regional championship
and won 13 matches (13-41) for the second consecutive season. Tyrpak's effort as a senior included six assists - the most he's had in a season - and raised his career total to 10.
He was named first-team All-Wisconsin Little Ten, put on the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association All-State list as a "Best of the Rest" list honoree, and voted Daily News All-County Boys Soccer Player of the Year.

Player of the Year - Ryan Zuern
|
Having played three years on the varsity football team at Hartford Union, Ryan Zuern rewrote a little of the history books.
Zuern recalls what it was like as an underclassmen playing on varsity.
"I remember that sophomore year, I had some of the best teammates," Zuern said. "They took me in and mentored me pretty good. They made me feel comfortable, which allowed me to do what I did."
What he did was rush for 4,529 yards for the Orioles - an average of 151 per game - and amassed 46 touchdowns.
"The first weekend they called me up (to varsity), I was second string and I was like, 'I'm fine with this,'" Zuern said. "Then I was first string and the pressure was building. I took it day-by-day, and every game I focused on getting better and making less mistakes."
When his number was called, he was ready.
"You have to rely on your training," Zuern said. "You workout all summer and you have to rely on
that whatever you put in is what you'll get out. I realized that I'd be getting the ball more and I knew I had to do something with it. I had the feeling of not wanting to let anybody down."
Zuern fell 43 yards short of breaking Charlie Weissman's alltime school record for rushing yards - 4,571. Weissman also used to have the record for most rushing yards in a game for the Orioles (317).
That was until the final game of the regular season in October when Zuern ran all over rival Slinger. He rushed for 350 yards on 35 carries.
"I'm glad he's graduating," Slinger coach Bill Jacklin joked.
"He's a special back," he added. "You usually either have a power
back, or one that's fast and elusive. He's a combination of both. That's what makes him so unique."

Girls Basketball beats West Bend East
|
A 10-minute scoring drought by West Bend East on Wednesday allowed Hartford Union to take control.
The Orioles went on a 13-0 run during that span and built a 24-point lead. It culminated in a 54-31 Wisconsin Little Ten Conference victory for them - the first of the season.
"The girls did a great job being patient and making things happen," Hartford coach Chris Shelsta said. "They were looking for a good shot and each other. That's what broke down East's defense; we were able to move the ball and attack."
Hartford (3-8, 1-4) had a 28-17 lead at the break.
"The score didn't matter. It was 0-0," Shelsta said. "We have to be able to put two
halves together and not focus on just one. That's been a challenge for us. We played one good half, then we don't come out strong. Tonight we came out strong."

Wrestling Slinger Match Highlights
|
HARTFORD - Slinger has been where Hartford Union is: An inexperienced lineup going up against a tough rival.
For many years as Wisconsin Little Ten Conference foes, Hartford won the duals with Slinger.
"We have a lineup full of firstyear starters," Hartford coach
Steve Best said. "Slinger has some tough kids. We got beat by a team that's better than us."
A few years ago, Slinger was a team with youth and inexperience, looking for as many points as possible throughout matches. Hartford is in that position now.
"We made plenty of mistakes, as rookies do, but we gave it what we had," Best said. "Slinger deserved to win because they were the better team. That's how the sport works."
Hartford freshman Jalen Spuhler recorded a pin in 5:04 at 113 pounds. Danny Driessen earned a pin at 132 (3:46) and Kobi Kirsch recorded a pin in 5:03 at 145 pounds. Quinn Meinerz also won in a 5-1 dec. over Casey Osterberg.
