Talent Show: A High Note in November

By Destiny Rector
Every year, CHS takes an afternoon to display the talent it offers in the annual Talent Show. The Talent Show was put together by the Choral Department and the Student Congress and was held on November 20th in the gymnasium. The cost to attend was $3, and it was held following a shortened fourth block. There were many amazing acts this year with students from all different walks of life coming out to show the school what they have to offer.

With as many as 17 performances, this years talent show was a jaw-dropping experience. Some of the performers included Jade Smith, Kaleb Carlile, Jasmine Clemente, Nick Baker, and Miranda Malin. The winners of the Talent Show were Aaron Phillips, Nathan Nelms, John Phillip Nelms, Matt Billings, and Elias Vaden performing Tighten Up by The Black Keys.

By Sarah Nisbet

You’ve heard his voice every day, but who is he? Surprisingly, few students at CHS know that the Student Body President, John Gleason, is on the announcements every day at 8:00 and at the beginning of lunch. He is also in charge of the entire Student Congress, one of the busiest student organizations at Cookeville High School. With 44 members, the group is responsible for the Homecoming Week schedule and organizing activities throughout the year such as the Spring Week and Cav Walk.
