Dear Fix It,

One of my best friends is dating my older brother, and now she is ditching me for him… what should I do to keep our friendship alive?
Please Help,
Oh, brother

Dear Oh, Brother:
Well, I would talk to your friend and tell her how you feel, and also talk to your brother because he loves and cares about you and he doesn’t want you to feel hurt. Make a time where you can have "friend time" so that you keep can keep your friendship alive.

Dear Fix It,

I am completely lost in life right now. I am overwhelmed with school, family, friends, and my boyfriend. I don’t have time for all of them, what should I do to mange my time better?
-Out of Time-

Dear Out of Time,
First off I would get a planner for yourself. That might help you manage your time better. Talk to your family and friends and see if they have any suggestions. Maybe set up certain dates and times for you to study, have fun, and be with your family. Who knows maybe you could hang out with your boyfriend and you friends and family at the same time.
~Fix it~


If you have any questions you can leave them in the Trojan Times box in the office next to Mrs. Rodgers.

   Booths, money, dances, business, sales, networking, and uniforms. Put this all together and what do you get? Virtual Enterprise California State Trade Fair, the largest VE trade fair in the nation and fifth largest in the world. It was here that Quincy High School’s own Custom Cruisers made their debut in the California Virtual Enterprise business world. From November 29th to December 1st this first year team made just under $90,000 in virtual sales, and took a place in the top ten catalog sales competition.
   Quincy High’s Virtual Enterprise class is home to the Custom Cruisers company. Led by Chief Executive Officer Melodie Bennett, this ordinary classroom has been shaped into an automobile customization and parts company. Each of the company employees played an important role in the success of the company in the trade fair. This energetic, innovative group of kids includes; Melodie Bennett, Josh Carroll, William Diekmann, Evan Franklin, Melissa Hughes, Cailin Johnson-Smart, Jenna Kuipers, Christina Robbins, Josh Wilken, and our very own rotary exchange student from Austria, Anna Zauchner.
   As part of Virtual Enterprise, the students attend trade fairs, such as the one in Bakersfield, where they can promote their virtual business and compete with other virtual enterprise employees. One hundred forty companies and more than 1,000 employees competed and sold products just as real businesses would; in a professional and competitive manner.
   "The Custom Cruisers staff made me proud, from the moment we left QHS to the moment we returned." Says advisor Terrie Redkey. Our team was well organized and first-class throughout the three-day event. The company entered in the website and placed in the top ten (out of 54) in the catalog sales competition. Artistic value, creativity, clarity, organization, and ease of ordering were all part of the grading system
   The Virtual Enterprise class prepares students for the working world in many, many ways. The students learn to become effective communicators, understand business related career paths, demonstrate cooperative working skills across gender and cultural groups, exhibit positive self-skills, gain many important thinking and problem solving skills, and many more skills essential to the business world.
   For more information on the Custom Cruisers, check out their website at www.quincytrojan.com/custom_cruisers. In addition, the Virtual Enterprise team is looking for two more responsible and hard working Junior or Senior students to join the team. See Mrs. Redkey if you are interested.
