Greta Smith & Sofia Ruvalcaba

Here in Morgan, we have many different people with countless personalities and preferences. But have you ever thought, “ they would make a good comedian!” or, “They are very forgetful sometimes…”? 

Well, now we have a fun and new idea: Morgan's Most Likely! 

This month, you can click on the link to fill out the form. First, you click a category your friend might belong to (please don't enter yourself; it's more fun this way!), then enter their first and last name and grade. When the results come in, we will interview the people who were picked most and add them to the next Morgan Insider! 

Get excited, Morgan!! Here is a little information about each category to show what kind of person we’re looking for.

MOST LIKELY TO BE A COMEDIAN

This is really straightforward, looking for comedic relief, please. They MUST be goofy, and they’ve definitely had random conversations that require much context.

MOST LIKELY TO BE PRESIDENT

This person must be one of two things: able to get the popular vote because everyone loves them, or the most organized and ready to run the country. You make what you will of that.

MOST LIKELY TO GO DUMPSTER DIVING

This person will not be afraid of moldy banana peels and Twinkie wrappers with ketchup on them. Also, be very determined to retrieve whatever they want from the trash can.

MOST LIKELY TO CORRECT GRAMMAR WHILE TEXTING

You need to be either a smart nerd or someone who loves annoying whoever they are texting like a human autocorrect.

MOST LIKELY TO FORGET EVERY SCHOOL SUPPLY THEY OWN AT HOME

This is an oddly specific description of someone who would either do this completely on purpose, or they are just a human Dory. Both are questionable.

MOST LIKELY TO BE A FASHION DESIGNER

This needs to be someone who has serious style who could make it to the red carpet. Probably look fire even when going to school!

MOST LIKELY TO NOT STUDY, BUT STILL ACE A TEST

 You need to 100% have a memory of steel. Or you found a four-leaf clover. You know, potato potatoh.

MOST LIKELY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH STRANGERS

If this is you, you know who you are. You find someone fine in a random aisle in Fred Meyer, you're not gonna stop talking about them for the rest of the day. It's a “minor” hobby.

*Please note that whoever is submitted to this will be asked if this is ok with them before we put anything up. Please don't submit someone if they don't want to be put in. Keep it kind.*

Think you know the Morgan building like the back of your hand? In the link below, there are some zoomed-in photos taken in random places around the school. 

Can you guess where they were taken? 

The answers will be revealed in the next Morgan Insider issue! The person who submits the most correct answers will also get featured in the next issue! 

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together on high speed until the mixture is light and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat on high speed until combined.

3. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

4. Split the dough in half. Place each half on a piece of floured parchment paper. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough so that it is about ¼ inch thick. If it seems a bit too sticky, add a little bit more flour.

5. Lightly dust one of the rolled-out halves with flour. Place the other half(still on the parchment paper) on top of the first half. Tightly cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days

6. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats

7. Carefully remove the top piece of dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. Repeat until all the dough is cut. Arrange the cookies 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.

8. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are very lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling rack before decorating.

Tegen Moran & Hailey Thomassen

We all know that shoes go in and out of style, so if you're looking for new shoes, then here are some ideas so you come back from spring break with style.

1. Nike Shox: The 2000s-inspired, spring-loaded sneaker is expected to dominate 2026, making a massive comeback.

2. Adidas Gazelle Lo-Pro: Slim, low-profile silhouettes like the Gazelle and Tokyo are leading the trend away from chunky sneakers towards more refined, retro looks.

3. Puma Speedcat OG: A top contender for the year, this sleek motorsport-inspired sneaker is highly sought after by trend-conscious teens.

4. Adidas Samba: Maintaining its high popularity from previous years, the Samba continues to be a go-to everyday shoe for versatility.

5. Birkenstock Cloggs: Renowned for their anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed that molds to the wearer's feet over time, offering superior comfort and arch support.

The History of April Fool's Day

Bridger Thompson

As you know, April Fool's Day is celebrated worldwide on April 1st. A day of harmless pranks (mostly) and fun jokes. How did this holiday begin, though? Some of the answers may surprise you.

The April Fools

The most popular theory regarding the beginning of April Fool's Day regards the “April fools.” In the 1850s, France decided to switch to the modern calendar; for context, the new year was celebrated in April under the previous calendar. However, the modern calendar states that the new year is celebrated in January. Unfortunately for some, they either chose or did not know, and they continued to celebrate the new year in April. These individuals were quickly dubbed the “April fools”, and thus began the holiday. As the theory goes, eventually everybody celebrated in January, but the tradition of April Fools continued, to manifest as lighthearted pranks.

March Festivals 

This theory relates to the grand costume festivals held in ancient Rome around the end of March. The people would dress as high-ranking officials or wear strange costumes, and then go mock or play jokes on their friends. These festivals were seen as a way to break the monotony of life, plus even nature played a part; in fact, it is theorized that the reason this festival started is because of the chaotic and unpredictable weather of the season.

Scottish folklore

Another common theory involves the Scottish national animal. In Scotland, the unicorn is the national animal, and it may have started the tradition of pranks. Allegedly, the unicorn symbolizes power, innocence, and an untamed spirit. In the 1400’s, Scotland allegedly attempted to incorporate this animal into a holiday to further separate from the British (who they had just recently gained their independence from). Thus began the tradition of lighthearted pranks, though their attempt to separate themselves from Britain failed, as soon almost every English-speaking nation adopted it.

The April Fish

Another France-based idea comes with children and fish. Allegedly, April was a time when fish were very easily caught, and in celebration of nature's goodwill, people played pranks. The most common was when children stuck pictures of fish on their friends' and parents' backs. Called  Poisson d’Avril, it is believed that this tradition is what eventually transformed into April Fool's Day.

In conclusion, April fools has a lot of origins, and maybe more than one might be true. Unfortunately, one of these isn’t; I purposely made one of these theories false. Can you guess which one? Try to guess in the poll below!
