Pride, Class, Tradition

By Emily McPherson and Casey Crane

Pride, Class, and Tradition are the three words that sum up what Lincoln High represents. These three small words may not mean very much to some individuals, but to the school as a whole, they mean a great deal. For the past 126 years, along with the Links, "Pride, Class, and Tradition" has been Lincoln High' s motto. To students and faculty this means the right to be diverse, to be yourself, to have pride in Lincoln High, and to carry on the tradition of excellence.

We Know What You Did Last Summer

By Casey Crane and Emily McPherson

Students were involved in a variety of activities over the summer. Junior Phil Walter went white water rafting on the Arkansas River in the Rocky Mountains, and sophomore Christian Knapp went to his friend's cabin for a weekend during his summer vacation. "Going to the cabin is something thatI look forward to every summer," Knapp said.

Other students traveled to all comers of the world during their vacation. Sophomore Jacob Dupree went to London as part of a singing group called Bonae Cantores. "My trip to London opened my eyes to the European culture," he said.

Sophomore Benjamin Johnson traveled

to Canada with a group of friends to parti~ipate in the 1997 Waterford Crystal Handball World Championships. "Canada was really differentthanthe US. Especiallythemoney,'' he said.

Among students who vacationed in differentcountries was junior Erick Umana who went to El Salvador to visit his uncle. While some were traveling around the world, others were working hard. Junior Valerie Franssen worked at K-Mart for 30-35 hours a week during the summer months. "I worked a lot, but had a lot of money to spend on things that I really wanted," she said.

Senior Ross Peterson worked at Russwood Chrysler Plymouth during the summer to earn a little extra spending money.

"What was your most memorable time of the summer of 1997?"

(continued from page 6)

The summer of'97 was not only a time for students to enjoy a break from school, but for teachers, too. Some traveled to foreign countries while others stayed in the United States.

Drama and English teacher John Heineman traveled to Italy and Austria as a member of the First Plymouth Choir. Over a hundred people went including English teacher Julie Doerr. Lincoln High photography teacher George Sedlacek enjoyed a visit to W ashingto~ D.C, our nation's capitol. Randy Ernst accompanied his mother on a trip to Comisky Ballpark, in Chicago, to watch a Cubs vs. White Sox game. '1hate the Cubs," stated Ernst.

History teacher Jack Brestel and his wife, Lincoln High counselor, Ann Brestel took their family on a week-long camping trip to Lake Dillo~ Colorado in the

middle of the Rocky Mountains. While in Lake Dillo~ they also took day-long trips to Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain.

History teacher Susan Pierce ventured off to Great Britain for the twelfth time. She spent a week in London and took bus trips to Penzance, and to many other places, such as Dover, Oxford, Chester, Land's End, St. Ive's, Mousehole, and Cornwall. Pierce also . spent time in Cardiff, Wales, visiting her friend who lives there. While in Great Britian, Pierce saw the prestigious Windsor and Eton castles.

As you can now see, students are not the only people who enjoy their summer vacations. Teachers also like to enjoy the break from school to do some traveling, relaxing, and enjoying the time off from the hectic work weeks of the school year.

Our Permanent Decorations

By Katie Redfield

Walking down the halls of Lincoln High there is no escaping the abundant students whose choice of expressing themselves is punching holes in their body, and decorating themselves with elaborate designs in ink. Some students get sick to the stomach at the thought of piercings or tattoos, others find them appealing and are attracted to those who have them. The views on these body charms among students is as diverse as the students themselves. Lincoln High wouldn't be complete without students from a section of culture that promotes the permanent decorations on the body.

When asked why they chose where

their piercings or tattoos were, both sophomore Abby Shrader and senior Guadalupe Gress said they could hide it or it wasn't noticeable where they put it. Most of us, if we got a tattoo or piercing, would pick a spot that the general public wouldn't notice. Why is this? Is it because while we are trying to be rebellious, we also think about how we might be sorry about our decision later, like our parents like to think we will be?

In a society that supposedly promotes self expression we are often expected to hide who we are. Despite this setback people continue to express themselves in this way.

We Have Spirit, Yes We Do!

By Jamie Mcllvane and Beka Davis

Spirit Week was a time when everyone could whip out apparel from their wackywardrooe, and no one really cared what they looked like. Lincoln High kicked off Spirit Week on Monda:» September 22, and it rolled on through that Friday.

Lincoln High students rang in the week by wearing their favorite team logos and jerseys. Tuesday, students tumbled out of bed and came to school donning their pajamas, and everyone looked so comfortable as they yawned and drooled on their desks. It made napping in class much more like being at home in bed. Wednesday was Twins Day, where friends could dress alike.

Thursday, students got to dig deep into their closets to outfit tnemselves in radical 80s duds. Friday, we concluded the week showing our school spirit by wearing our school colors.

Some Spirit Week favorites were the Pep Rally, '1twas fun and peppy," commented junior Amber Stanard. "[It was .a] way that everyone was able to do something together," replied senior Paula Sandguist.

We also nad a rally to 'pep up' the school spirit for the Homecoming game. The rally included the introduction of homecoming royalty nominees.

There was a presentation of the Lincoln High Hall of Fame honorees, which was compri$ed of the individual recipients, the 1935 State Champion football team, and the 1980 State Cnampion girls basketball team- with our own Mr. Bill Meyers as the head coach.

We were 'wowed' by the performances given by the cheerleaders, the Pomalinks- performing to the theme song from Men In Black, and the "outstanding'' Mr. Bob Holbert. This year Links scnool spirit was through the roof.

Homecoming Festivities Invade LHS

by Maurice Shinall

This year's homecoming was the 'bomb', some would say. It started off with the pep rally, which was kicked off with the Hall of Fame, inductees. Then came the cheerleaders, and the pomalinks, who delivered the best performance many had seen.

The game was that Fridar night and, although we lost, you had to give the football players props. They did give the game a good effort, even though it was cut short by a black out on tne field. Unfortunately it didn't get everyone hyped up for the Homecoming dance like some people had hoped.

Some figured that the Homecoming dance wouldn't be fun, since we lost, but that changed as soon they got there. Though it started off slow, it got hyped up soon as everyone

started to get on the dance floor. The place just lit up like the Fourth of Ju1y. Junior Allison Teeters said, "It was fun, but they needed more slow songs, and the dance needed to be longer. "

Some of the students didn't like the rock music, but they still danced to it. It was the same with the rap music. Sophomore Richard Reese said, "I didn't like some of the rock or country music, but Wu-Tang and Boyz II Men was tight."

Prizes were handed out to many of our fellow students.

The dance ended around midnight. Many people then went to restaurants or parties. Others went driving around, or just went home to sleep. At least one thing is for sure, many came and supported the school. •

Just chillin' at the Crib

By Brooke Brestel

You're sitting at the kitchen table, trying to study for that huge biology test tomorrow. Your little brother is screaming, the T.V. is blaring, and the dog won't stop barking at your bunny slippers. You grab all of your stuff, and head for the peace and quiet of your own room.

Most LHS students spent most, if not all of their home time in their rooms.

"Other than school, I'm always there," junior Jared Hall said. Another LHS junior, Lucie Kettering said she spent ten hours everyday in her room to do her homework, sleep, and talk on the phone.

Junior Erica Toren, said she liked her room because, "I have a lot more privacy in my room than if I was in one of the family rooms."

For many LHS students their rooms were a popular hang-out with their friends. Sophomore Janet Eckerson's

room tends to be filled with four to five of her friends daily. "People just show up and we chill down there," she said. Since students spend so much time in their rooms, most agreed that it's more fun to jazz them up a bit. From weird colors of paint, to interesting furniture and collages, LHS students added their own personal flair to their bedrooms. Most students used pictures of their friends, candl~, and lights to accent their rooms.

Sophomore Tara Taylor used posters and drawings to dot her bare walls.

Hall went all out saying his room was, "Fly-looking with the grooves going on the wall with the black light sparkle."

So grab that can of paint, some old magazines, not to mention, mom's permission, and make that little comer of your house your own personal world.

Links Lend a Helping Hand

By Ryan Wiegert

Many students at LHS are devoting their spare time to volunteering. In fact, all LHS students are required to perform 20 hours of volunteering as part of their Citizenship Issues classes in order to graduate.

However, not all students volunteer simply for credits. Some students help others out of the kindness of their hearts, or because they empathize with the people they help. "[I volunteer] because I was in their [homeless peoples'] position once. I know how it feels, and anything I can do to help makes me happy," said junior Cherub Kress.

Students at Lincoln High who volunteer do so for a number of organizations, including Lincoln General Hospital, Crisis Pregnancy Center, Madonna Rehabili-

tation Center, and others.

But not all student volunteers at LHS volunteer outside of school. Lincoln High has a club called the Red Cross Club, which helps the community through the local branch of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross Oub organized one community service project per month.

Another organization that helps others is Teen Prevention Planners (TPP), which is a part of the Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs (LCAD ). The TPP organized drug- free and alcoholfree events for students, to provide an alternative to drugs. Several LHS students volunteered to be on TPP this year. The efforts of Lincoln High volunteers are helping to make things better in the city of Lincoln.

(Friends From Around the World)

How would you feel if you walked into a room and everyone was speaking a language you didn'tunderstana? Confused? Wnat if you had to live in that strange environment for a year?

Here at Lincoln High we have the chance to host six students from foreign countries. These six students left their families and friends behind to explore a new place with eager anticipation. •

There are many unexpected things that the students have encountered since they have traveled here. Junior Sarah Bude, from Berlin, Germany said, '1 thought American schools [were] stricter." '1t's bigger than I expected, but I'm glad that it is this way," junior Marcin Garncarek, from Poland stated.

None of the students chose to come to Nebraska as their host home, but Lincoln is where they ended up. Junior Camilla

Thom, from Norway explained, "The east and west coast is most tempting to exchange students like myself, but I wanted to do something different, see and go somewhere where nobody else usually wants to go to. My friends back home [were] expecting me to enter the ~ort, at my arrival, as a farmer girl [with] a farmer accent."

The students realized that there are many misconceptions about Americans that ~ople froin their countries have. ''They [Europeans] think that Americans eat a lot and it's the reason [that] they are all fat," junior Francois Raphenne, from Besangon, France said. At feast that is what people from France assumed.

Throughout all of their experiences, these foreign exchange students have learned a lot here at Lincoln High and we have also learned a lot from them as well.

ByShI!!!efJeld of Opportunity

The world of employment is a step up from being in diapers. When LHS teens had the chance to work, they felt like they were finally in charge of their lives. For many people, not just teens, a job symbolizes maturity and responsibility. Making money, wearing a uniform, and choosing hours all go along with working, and in service positions, it can mean putting up with rude or grouchy customers. Lincoln High students worked at fast food restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, and any place where work was available.

Junior Kendra Crosby stated, "Sometimes I like my job, but it's frustrating when we get busy and there are not enough people to help, and the customers get angry when we make a mistake."

Junior Robby Heller described his work environment as ''being relaxed." He

worked with a lot of his friends and that made it fun.

Many students balanced a busy schedule. They went home, did their homework, and went to their jobs after school, sometimes until 10 or 11:00 p.m. Most young adults worked an average of 10 to 20 hours a week during the school year, mostly on the weekends.

Sophomore Martha Fiedler enjoyed her job at Amigos because, she said that all of the employees at her job were really close and they tried to have as much fun as possible. They put baby pictures of the new employees on a back wall, and they had store parties and dressed up for customers on some evenings.

Most teens enjoyed working because it gave them the opportunity to be successful. It's also preparing them for the world ahead of them after High School.

So Much To Do, So Little Time

By Ryan Wiegert

As you've probably guessed, life wasn't all homework for LHS students. Besides jobs, the Links filled their time with a variety of things to do to keep from going crazy with boredom. Some favorite pastimes include shopping, hanging out with friends, watching TV, going to movies, talking on the phone, and many others.

One place LHS students seemed to like shopping is American Eagle Outfitters, located in Gateway mall. "I like American Eagle because they have clothes I like," said junior Nate Palmer. Of course, there are many other popular stores, such as Hot Topic, The Gap, The Buckle, Target, and Camelot.

When they aren't busy with school or work, television was a popular pas- _ time among students. Favorite shows include the X-Files, Melrose Place, The Simpsons, ER, and Chicago Hope. All types of sitcoms, including Seinfeld, Mad About You, and Grace Under Fire are also popular. Dramas like NYPD Blue and The Practice are just some of the show students enjoyed watching. And who could forget music? Links listened to a wide variety of music, including jazz, rap, country, ska, alternative, techno, heavy metal, oldies, and tons of others. With so much to do, it's a miracle that LHS students ever got around to doing their assignments.

Extreme students live on the edge

By Amy Irons

It was all around us, in the parks, on the sidewalks, and through tne streets. Almost everywhere you could hear the bump of the wheels going over the cracks in the road, the kick of the foot on the starter, and the roar of the crowd as they landed that perfect trick. It was loved by many but hated by most. Extreme Sports. It was bigger than ever before. The fever hit Lincoln High students as well. The most common sports participated in by students here were: rollerblading, skate boarding, and B:MX racing.

Wny do they do them? They love the rush and freedom, the pure adrenaline, and the feeling of knowing you can do something others are afraid to. But the sport is far from being accepted by society. Sophomore Beverly Hames thought others look upon skate board-

ing negatively. " Society looks at us as outcasts. The skateboard was accepted in the late '80s, but now it is being demonized by the city. We can't even skate downtown without getting harassed or getting a ticket," she said. As for getting in trouble, you couldn't do your sport without getting into it. You got tickets, campus supervisors yelled at you, and people just don't understand that they are putting you down.

One thfug that bothers some people is the small percentage of female extreme sporters. Some are discouraged to try, pius the sports are not considered "ladylike" things to do.

The good news is that females are starting to crush that stereotype and are grabbing their boards and oiling up their skates. Hyou've never tried an extreme sport, wnat are you waiting for? Get out there and do it!

This fall, the Class of 2000 left their sheltered little world of "middle school" behind and began their three years here at LHS. The transition may have been hard for some, but the Class of 2000 slowly and surely (as they often do) found their place as links in this ongoing chain of excellence.

The Class of 2000 will be the last class of this millenium to graduate, making this year's sophomore class unique and like no other before it.

You probably know a lot of sophomores who play basketbal or volleyball. But how many students do you know who play handball?

A group of sophomores , including Jacob Knapp , Christian Knapp, Travi Kulwicki, Benjamin Johnson , Casey Crane, and John McPherson play handball everyday at the YMCA. Handball is played similarly to racquet ball, but a smaller, harder ball is used, and th players use their hands instead of a racquet.

John McPherson (10) socks it to competition in handball. Photo ,

Reading Between the Lines

By Beka Davis

Students in English classes read many books and wrote often to broaden their learning skills and to appreciate different authors and cultures.

Some of the books that the Sophomore English classes read were Of Mice and Men, Death of a Salesman, Lord of the Flies, The Bean Trees, and Donald Duk. The American Literature classes read books such as; The Scarlet I.etter,Hucklebeny Finn, Walden, Their Eyes were Watching God, and Yellow Raft in Blue Water.

Individual Literature students read books of their choice and gave a report or did a project to illustrate what they learned from each book

The Multicultural Literature classes dug into books such as Lakota Woman, Always Running, and Rattle Bone. Movie Literature watched films and wrote reviews and critiques of what they thought

about the movies.

The Composition and Creative Writing classes sharpened their skills by writing short stories, reaction papers, poetry, essays and prose. Communications students mastered how to better articulate their thoughts and to speak in public.

The students in Vocabulary Building "increased their vocabularies by as many as 1,000 new words after studying the words' origins/' commented English teacher Judy Keller.

Speed Reading helped acquire the skills to breeze through novels with effortless ease.

Depending on the type of English class, each of the lessons or books were followed by an essay, comprehensive test, movie viewing, or discussion to see what the students grasped from each book or piece of writing.

The Numbers All Add Up

By Beka Davis

Math is not just a bunch of numbers; it is problem solving and working things out for yourself. Math can be fun, if you apply your knowledge to activities in the class and in real life.

Lincoln High School offers many dif~ ferent types of math classes, tailored to students' needs and ambitions. Many of these classes only meet graduation requirements, but others can earn college credit or advanced placement. Each individual student learns at their own pace and desires something different from their class.

Classes range from geometry to precalculus or calculus and from algebra to accounting. Pre-calculus students spent lots of time working with the unit circle and trigonometric functions.

Lincoln High offered a pre-calculus/ physics block for students who found inertia and calculatin initial velocity

to be their 'cup of tea'. Algebra "plugged and chugged" on many word problems in addition to graphing and probability. Students who took geometry, either in section 1 or 2, constructed many angles, calculated arc length on circles in 'standard position', and kept a list of conjectures.

Computer applications students became 'whizzes' on spreadsheet, database, and word-processing documents. Those who were in accounting may be doing our taxes someday. Accounting teacher, Bill Myers was once audited by one of his former accounting students. Who knows?!

All of the classes gave students a better knowledge of the ·concepts that will follow them later in life, whether the would admit it or not.

Science, Experimenting Our Way into the Future.

By Katie Redfield

Many students at Lincoln High enjoy exploring and experimenting, and that's why many like their science classes. Senior Nga Dinh talked about her Anatomy and Physiology class. "The fun won't start until 2nd semester when students are allowed to dissect the cat," she said.

Senior Stacy Hadley enjoyed Mark Shearer's Physics class. "Mr. Shearer does demonstrations and has little props to show how principles work. He tries to relate things to the way a high school student might see them," she said. When asked what was the most fun thing about her science class, Hadley said, "Watching Mr. Shearer do experiments using fire and hoping he

doesn't burn anything down, but atthe same time learning a lot."

Students are also aware of how the science classes they are taking now will help them in the future. Senior Melisa Santacroce is aware of the practical rewards of taking science classes, "I hope to major in biology in college," she said.

Senior Nathan Lefeber thinks of a deeper reason for taking his Geology class. "I can know more about the dirt around me," he said.

Even though you may not be strong in science, the teachers and the personal rewards you will receive from a science class may make it fun and worth while.

Social Studies More Than Just History

By Brooke Brestel

This year in Social Studies was a year full of changes. From new class names to a whole new curriculum. U.S. History, World Geography, Psychology, A.P. U.S. History, AMEX, and the ever famous Citizenship Issues are just some of the classes that filled our days with readings, study guides, and sometimes heated debates.

Most of the Sophomores took either U.S. History, A.P. U.S. History, or AMEX. U.S. History classes took up to 3 pages of notes a day, A.P. classes learned how to use their "interactive notebooks" and AMEX endured many essay tests and interest-

ing discussions.

Juniors' class choices varied more with taking World Geography, Psychology, and Economics, among others. Geography students had days filled with worksheets, while Psychology classes kept Dream Logs. Seniors had their hands full with fulfilling 20 volunteer hours for their Citizenship Issues requirement.

Although some classes were required, and some were not, LHS students learned more than just about history and society. Students learned lessons on life that they will remember for the future.

World Languages at LHS: Not Just Academics Anymore

By Ryan Wiegert

Because it's becoming more common to find people of different nationalities living and working together these days, communication is vital. As a school where people of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds abound, it only makes sense that a diverse number of languages are taught at LHS.

Lincoln High offers courses in Spanish, French, Chinese, and German. In addition, UNL has recently increased it's World Language requirement to four years instead of two, making language classes a must for high school students.

Lincoln High' s language classes are not

purely academic, however. The classes also teach the culture associated with the language.

In such a multicultural environment, . it's important to become familiar with the cultures of other nations. Mrs. Celine Robertson teaches her Chinese classes cultural lessons like simple steps of Kung Fu or traditional dances, while Mr. Terry Hanshew has a German pot luck dinner with traditional German dishes.

As the idea of multiculturalism continues to grow, the LHS World Language classes prepare students for the future.

ESL Students Face Challenges of Language and Culture

By: Maurice Shinall

Starting in a new school can be a scary experience for any student, but imagine going to a school where all of the classes are taught in a language that is different than your own.

For many Lincoln High ESL (English as a Second Language) students • this is the case, so they take additional classes to help them learn English as well as the customs and expectations of life in the United States.

Junior Ly Tran stated, "The ESL classes are most important for taking other classes."

Lincoln High has approximately 110 ESL students from about 14 different countries who speak 14 different languages.

{Left to Right) Natalia Kischun (12), KhadijahAl-Gha1.awi (11), AdwiyaAl-Waely (11), Senior Vera Kiforishina (12), Counselor Dick Patterson, and ESL Paraprofessional Laura McNemara visit the house built by the Lincoln High School construction class.

128 ESL

Students have had a variety of experiences both positive and negative. We asked ESL students if there was one thing they could change about America.

Sophomore Claudia Martinez responded, "I would change the discrimination towards people from different countries."

There are also good things that ESL students like about being here. Sophomore Hiep Vo commented, "I like that people who are 16 years old get to drive.

Right now I have my learner's permit."

What's the most important thing these students have learned here? Junior Jasmin Dogie said, "The most important thing is to learn English, and about American rules."

Speech and Debate Team Reaps Rewards of Hard Work

By Shelley Stevenson

Speech and Debate members are masters at work. This year LHS again offered a program for anyone who was willing to take risks and practice for many hours after school, and sometimes even on the weekends. Senior Jason Frye said that his most rewarding experience this year was "Getting on the mic at Omaha Central to play my harmonica and sing!!"

You may be wondering how an actual meet runs. Well, there are three rounds of competition in your event and then if you make finals you get to go to them. Usually people tend to spend between two to three days preparing for the mee ts. If you are

committed to working hard and staying after school to get help from the coaches, then you may have found the perfect activity.

Sophomore Abbie Dunn said, "Speech and Debate sounded like a - fun experience, so I tried out. My family encouraged me as well." Junior Evan Littrell enjoys being on the team. "I enjoy the atmosphere and also having your achievements recognized," he said. Littrell also placed second at Student Congress.

LHS Students Express Imagination in the Form of Art

By Sarah Waller

Students at Lincoln High can express themselves through art classes. There are a variety of art classes available for Lincoln High students. Some of these classes include Beginning Drawing~ Pottery, Photography, Jewelry and many more.

Sophomore Lindsey Spencer is in a pottery class. She stated "What I like the most about this class is being able to express your own ideas in pottery form without being criticized." Senior Scott Cunning expressed, "I like learning about the different media you learn to use."

Senior Alice Berger took Advanced Drawing because she wanted to increase the drawing skills that she already had. She feels that it is hard to make deadlines because it is hard to know how long it will take to finish things to your satisfaction.

Art can help you in the future as an occupation. Sophomore Meghan Stratman said that she would like to work in miniature model making for film and other art aspects of special effects. All students at Lini:oln High should take the opportunity of taking an art class.

Business Classes are Absolute Keys for the Future

By Shelley Stevenson

Many Lincoln High students took business classes this year to meet graduation requirements. They also took these classes because they wanted to experience business for the first time. Senior Niki Hilt de- . cided to take a business class because she needed graduation credits and she wanted some experience before she took off for college.

Many different c1assesiave been offered throughout the yea1 such as Accounting, Marketing, Economics, and Business Management. Junior Lucas Harrington was in Applied Economics and he enjoyed it. '1 liked the class and en joyed making

money!" he said. Business classes offered lots of unique opportunities this year, such as field trips, school activities for making money, and selling products to students many times throughout the year.

Many colleges require that students at least take one or two business classes before they enter a university, because the experience is necessary for life beyond high school and college.

By taking a business class in high school, you fulfill your requirement, and you learn key skills. Just remember, many exciting career paths in the field of Business are open to you.

"These classes are important so you can graduate and have a sucessful career."

"Business classes are important because they help you with reading and math skills. "

LHS Student Council Helps Community and School

By Emily McPherson

The 1997-1998 Lincoln High Student Council consisted of a group of students that participated in a variety of different activities throughout the school year. Lead by Bob Holbert, the Student Council did a lot for the school and the community. The council participated in the • AIDS Walk and also the Diabetes Walk, made locker signs for sport teams and the clubs, picked up litter by the parking lots, tried to install security cameras, and tried to get a ramp built that is accessible for all the students with physical disabilities.

Senior Kristin Sasso was the Health and Drug Awareness Committee chairperson, and was responsible for the canned food drive, red ribbons on cars,

and for homecoming. She said, ''The AIDS Walk and Diabetes Walk was my favorite project because it was a lot of fun and it was for a good cause."

Many friendships emerged from Student Council. The committee had to bring their ideas and motivations together in orde·r to be successful, which of course they were. Senior Rod Davio said, "We have had many hard times, but through it all I believe we have become closer as a council." After looking at the countless organizations and the projects they attended and put together, no one can say that the Student Council did not do their job.

Family and Consumer Science Classes Ofter Life Skills

By Jamie DeGarmo

To some Lincoln High students Family and Consumer Science classes are more than just run-of-themill classes. Senior Autumn Henderson said, "The class is more hands-on and it's easier to learn more information instead of from a · book."

There are many different classes to choose from. Human Development dealt with parenting, relationships, human behavior, and families and crises. This class taught about real life issues and situations. Child Development looked at child care for toddlers, infants and school-age kids. Students were always working with

kids in some way. The Student Parent Program had a total of 22 children in the daycare. If you had a child in the daycare you were required to take Infant Development Practicum. This class was supported by the surrounding communities and by gifts and grants. The Housing class taught interior design, independent living, and how to be a successful person in life.

Junior, Royce Fowler said, "I feel that I like the different topics in which we talk about. It is all very interesting, and I would recommend that everyone take this class." While learning many necessary skills for the future, everyone is having a lot of fun.

Hands-On Learning with the Computer and Tech Classes

By Dave Woitaszewski

The computer and tech classes at Lincoln High provide a challenging hands-on approach to learning the skills you will need in your future. "I've learned how to apply my drawing in to the construction of a precise scale model," senior Ben Cosier commented. Other classes deal more with the computer aspect, their main tool being the computers they work at. Senior Brandy Whitaker is interested in marketing. Business management and computers are a big part of that, especially the internet and presentation appearance," she said.

Some of the classes participate in competitions such as the Applied Engineering

and Design class. As part of their class each student designs a floor plan for a house and then they build a 1 / 4 scale model of their house to enter into the Home Builders Association of America contest. There they can win one hundred dollars if the house they made takes first place.

Other classes work on projects within the school, like the Desktop Publishing classes. They work on the copy and layout for the Links Newsletter. Each student writes 4 stories and then the top few are chosen for submission. All of the classes teach useful, real-life skills.

Learning with Lions, and Tigers and Bears ... Oh My!

By Shelley Stevenson and Beka Davis

Some Lincoln High students roamed the zoo every day. Sounds like all play and no work, doesn't it? Well, you're wrong on that. A new program that was offered this year for students allowed them to take their classes at the Folsom Children's Zoo.

Junior De Vee Amen decided to take Zoo School this year, because she "wanted to learn more about animals and science. I want to go into that kind of stuff after college."

Zoo School offers a variety of classes designed to help students prepare for college and for their jobs in the future. Many students agree that Zoo School is not for slackers.

Above: Nga Dinh (12) studies her part in a 1990s re-creation of an English play while Anne Watson, a Zoo School student from LSE, expresses her desire to change the script.

Rii:ht: Paul Brobst (11) takes advantage of not having a class and uses the time to study his math assignment.

Junior Ryan Wendling said. "You really need to be self-motivated, and you need to be able to keep yourself on task," he said.

Student's usually went to LHS for their first and second periods, then they went to the zoo for the rest of the day. Classes usually met two to three times per week, and they were in two or more hour blocks. As for their finals, they didn't have any; they had to turn in portfolios.

Zoo School was a great new program that was offered for students this year. So, you might consider enrolling next year, because it can really help you get a head-start on college!

Emerging Scholars Come Out Ahead

By Nicole Nevels

Among the new classes added to Lincoln High' s curriculum was Emerging Scholars, which was instructea by Carolynn Goodwin. This class was set up to help academically successful, college bound, students of color continue to excel in school and in the college application process.

These students who had a G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher could apply to b.e in the class as long as they were working towards bettering their G.P.A.s and met all other criteria. Ms. Goodwin, often overwhelmed by all of the barriers the students had to get past in the process, told the students, '7I really had no idea what I was getting myself into.'' This year the class was set up for seniors only a.uring first semester and juniors and sophomores second semester. All three grades met together on club days, so that those who diem' t have room in ilieir schedule could also benefit from and be involved

in the program. Sophomore Tamara Jones said that the program, ''helps people of color achieve goals."

As a result of the support system set up in the class, many students tutored each other. Sophomore Keshona Taylor liked, "interacting with other kids." The students researched colleges that they were interested in, filled out applications, wrote scholarship essays, and worked on projects to help fue upcoming emerging scholars. These proJects ranged from scholarship books to ideal four year plans for high school in order to fit in all the college prefaration classes.

~any o the students would recommend that others get involved in the program. Sophomore Phuong Le saicf, ''It gives ~ple an opportunity to find out more about college opportunities, and other things that they are concerned about."

Students Hop toit With Health and P.E. Classes

By Jamie Mcllvane and Shelly Stevenson

P.E. and Health are required classes but that dosen't mean they aren't fun. Lincoln High offers a variety of P.E. classes. You can swim, lift weights, tone your body, or play badminton.

P.E. helps you to get .into physical shape for now and after High school. "After participating in a P.E. class students should get an understanding that physical activity is more important to maintain or improve a healthy lifestyle," said Sam Sharpe P.E. teacher.

P.E. is not just about running, biking, swimming, and roping. Their are also game activities which include: basket-

ball, flag football, soccer, softball, tennis, floor hockey and volleyball just to name a few. After taking a P.E. class students should learn that there are many things they are capable of doing if they just try.

Health classes allow students to understand the responsibility they have for thier own personal health as well as the health of others. The reason why health is a required class is to encourage all students to aquire basic reponsibility for health-related knowledge and to protect their lives and the health of others.

SWAS: Two S'chools in One

By Brooke Brestel

There are many things tucked away in the nooks and crannies of this old building. But did you know that among all of the old books, desks, and piles of dust that there is another school within this school?

This is the first year that Lincoln High has offered School Within a School (SWAS), a program to assist students who have not been previously successful in traditional school settings. This year's program has taken off with flying colors.

School Within a School's mission is to, "provide a supplemental educational experience for stru lin students who show

academic promise despite their credit deficiencies and to help ensure that these students graduate from high school and become selfsufficient adults who are contributing members to our community."

To get in to SWAS, you must be at least 16 years old, and show the desire to obtain your diploma. You also need to fill out an application before you can be considered for admittance.

Although this was a learning year for SWAS, things went well. There is no doubt that in the coming years, SWAS will take its place in the pride, class, and tradition of Lincoln Hi h.

Football, A Way of Life

By Dave W oitaszewski

Football at Lincoln High is a lot of things, but to the players of this game it is even more.

To them it is a sense of pride, determination, unity, and attitude. It is the varying levels of intensity right before they charge on to the field for their first home game.

uFootball is a lot like life, when things get bad how do we react? Who is going to succeed and reach their goals, and who is going to give up and take what they get?" Senior Chad Mertens said about playing football for Lincoln High. '''It's the friendships gained after playing for four years with

For some, football at Lincoln High has become far more than just another sport; it is a way of life.

JV & Reserve Football Working your way up the ranks

By Dave Woitaszewski

Junior varsity and reserve football; it's not just a sport for these players. It is their chance to prove what they are made of and will dictate the rest of their high school football career. If they make the varsity cut as underclassmen, they will have achieved the rank of varsity.

When you make the team, you gain a sense of pride and respect. This respect is not just given out, it has to be earned with hard work, bec~use working hard on the field

People on the JV and Reserve teams have to work just as hard for the years to come so they can make the varsity team as a senior.

Softball is a game of strength, speed, and endurance. To be the coach of a softball team takes much more of these three attributes.

Sam Sharpe, coach of the Varsity Softball team, stated what he thought it took to have a good team.

"You need individuals who are willing to put the team first and themselves second. Also have the skills of the game developed for the level they want to compete."

team is looking forward to next season, where they can really show the other teams what Lincoln High School is made of.

One thing that every person who plays any sport has to be willing to risk is losing while trying to better themselves as a player.

If you love a sport it should not matter if you win or lose, just as long as you are out there doing the best you can with what you have.

Then, no matter what, you will always be a winner.

Junior Varsity and Reserve teams often get overlooked by fans of softball games. But keep your heads up girls, softball is swiftly becoming a popular sport. You have to be extremely committed to play any sport, because it constantly takes up your time. Many people get frustrated and quit.

Softball is a lot more than just hitting a ball and running for your life, it takes great concentration and skill to excel in the game.

One of the hardest things to accomplish in the game is getting along with your teammates and working together to be a winning team.

When you can do that you know you' re going to win.

Cross Country

Going the Distance

By Emily McPherson

The 1997-98 cross country team came together for yet another successful year. Coaches Bob White, Larry Smith, and Colleen Lecher all got the team in shape for the meets and competitions.

Practicing at least five days a week, and maybe more on weekends, the Lincoln High cross country team was a team to be reckoned with.

Most runners got a lot out of running. Sophomore Brandon Mernming said, ''I run to stay in shape for the upcoming soccer season." Sophomore Annie Funcke said, "I get self confidence and self satisfaction.';

In order to get ready for the meets they have to run anywhere from three to seven miles. That varies between

boys and girls. Many drills that they do to build endurance are wind sprints, surges, and hills.

This was senior Solomon Mengisteab' s first year running cross country, and his best time running 3.1 miles was 17:30 minutes.

Mengisteab said, "I want to keep in shape for track, and I like the competition. I wanted to prove to myself that I could run long distances."

The 1997-98 Lincoln High cross country team has had a successful year, with sophomore Benjamin Johnson and senior Steve Pomeroy participating in the State meet.

By Jamie Mcllvane

The girls golf team experienced their fare share of ups and downs throughout tfiis season. One of the team's accomplishments was that they had 14 golfers this year, which was the largest team ever.

Many of those golfers are just learning the game but have made a great amount of progress in a short period of time.

Two of them, sophomore Brooke Trevarrow and 1·unior Alicia Itzen, were ab e to play in some varsity tournaments. As a team tney did not make it to state. "We had a good, fun year, but I'm happy it's all over," replied senior Autumn.Henderson.

Senior Sarah Sasse won every tournament she played in, most by 10 or 12 strokes. Sasse was also district and state champion, winning the gold medal at state for the second year in a row. Henderson routinely finished in the top 10 of many tournaments this year. Autumn and Sarah formed the best 1-2 combination in the state.

"We did have several new golfers ... and we are very hopeful that these young, talented golfers will progress and return our team to state next year." commented coach Coach John Brady.

"I like the fact that not everyone can do it, and that it is so technically challenging."

Gymnastics

Gymnasts Soar to the Top of State Rankings

By Nicole Nevels

One of Lincoln High' s most accomplished teams gets the least recognition and has sparse meet attendance. 11ris year LHS' s girls gymnasts placed third in state competition, and the boys placed sixth. When asked how she felt the team did compared to the competition junior Amy Wolf simply said, ''We finished top three in state; enough said."

The team returned many experienced letter winners, including four seniors and several members who are involved in club gym.

SeniorMonicaRyanfelthe team gave 110% at each meet. ''We beat each team that was in the state competition at least once throughout the season, she said"

Senior Drew Ross said he got involved in the sport because, "it's competition within myself." Meanwhile

sophomore Abby Brink does gymnastics to keep in shape and to have fun. Junior Paul Schumacher liked that, "it's unusual and not everyone does it."

Senior Jenny Novak, who is also involved in I club gymnastics, likes competing in the sport because, "it has taught me a lot and has made me a better person." She added, ''Working out twice a day is hard on your body and hard to balance with school."

So whether you go to their meets or not, you have to respect all of the dedication and talent that each of these gymnasts has.

Lincoln High also had a great diving season. Junior aiver Erin Killman and Senior Shannon Murray were the two girl divers of tne season at Lmcoln High. Neither one of them qualified for state, but each of them won more meets than any other Lincoln High diver. "I would have reallyliked to have gone to state, but it was a good season, and the team really got along well with each other." replied Murray.

Links Wrestlers Take Shots at Opponents

By Beka Davis

The Lincoln High wrestling team stuck together this season to get the job done. Many of those who wrestled this year participated in other sports in the off season or spent time in the weight room. Dedication, consistently going to practices, and strength paid off. LHS sent eight wrestlers to the state meet.

Lincoln High ''lost a great senior class last year," said sophomore Trevor Hill. However, "the veteran wrestlers who have wrestled since they were kids came in to take

over,'' replied senior Mike Root. "The way the team has 'stepped up' this year [really helped]," he added.

There are many reasons why these athletes wrestle, and they put a lot of work into the sport. Senior Julio Barba commented, '1 like the one-on-one competition, and we were in good shape." '1 love wrestling, and [we] put in a lot of work," sophomore Ben Johnson said. Links wrestlers hope that they can gain depth and strength in preparation for next year.

By Maurice Shinall & Jamie Mcllvane

The Varsity Girls Basketball team had an outstanding year. They won 11 and only lost 8. They were District A2 runners up. With two seniors, five juniors, and the rest sophomores and freshmen, the Links were tough_to beat. The Links never gave up in the games, and when they were losing, it helped them come back to win.

The team has a positive outlook for next year, because they will be returning all but two players. Junior Nicole Mertens said, "I like playing basketball because I get to compete at a level I know I can perform well at. I have been learning to play ever since I was in third grade. It gives me a sense of acomplishment to know what I am good at." The team was a mere one point away from State.

Love of the Game Drives Team On

By Brooke Brestel

Why play basketball? You give up almost all of your free time after school for practices, your weekends are non-existent with Saturday night games and early morning practices, and you still have to find time for your ever-so-important school work So what is it about this game that makes fifteen guys want to give all of that up?

''Because I love the game of basketball," senior Bryan Buchanan stated.

In fact, almost all of the Lincoln High Varsity Boys Basketball Team said that the reason they went out for the team was because of their love for the game.

They showed this love by practicing almost every day after school, and on Saturdays.

''Practices involved a lot of transition drills and were very intense," senior Brent Ailes said. These practices helped them prepare for games with highly-rated teams.

Throughout all of the highs and lows of the season, including beating such highly rated teams like Omaha North, and the heartbreaking loss against Omaha Bryan in overtime at the district championships, the team stuck together and without a doubt, will be back in full effect for next year.

It looked like it was going to be a long season for Lincoln Hi~h' s JV and Reserve teams. JV s went 1-2 in their city games, while the Reserves were just struggling for a win.

'We played so oad against East that it was embarrassing,'' JV. player Christopher Payne said.

But the teams stuck it out until the end of the season, when they came alive. The Junior varsity team went into the City Tournament the third seed. They played Northeast again in the first round, and came out on top. After los!ll__g to Southeast previouslYt LHS beat them 52-50 in overtime to become the Cicy Champs. Their final record was an outstanding 15-4. •

Tennis: Gotta love it

By Brigette Hertlein

Tennis is not only a game of hitting a ball over a net with a racquet, but a group of friends that support each other.

Junior Drew Pierce explained, "I love the sport and I've played with the same guys since I was a freshman." Sophomore John Beecham was convinced by his aunt to go out for the team. Other players decided to play so they could get in shape for other upcoming sports.

Playing on a team can be humorous at times. "In districts, [senior] David Dinh served the ball into my back

"I was running for a lob that was over my head and I chased it, ran into the fence and my shoe got caught in the fence," explained sophomore Aroun Phaisan.

The players said that they were glad they played this year. Junior Ha Nguyen said, "I increased my endurance, made some new friends, and my skills are even better than before."

The teams all had a successful season and learned that the sport of tennis is not only a game, but a source of support.

LHS Drama Continues Tradition of Excellence

By Emily McPherson

When the lights dimmed, the sound system came on, actors took their places, and the curtain finally rose, you knew you were in for one heck of a show. For all the shows that the students saw at an assembly, or the public saw at night, the Lincoln High Drama Classes worked day and night. But, they all knew it would be fun. Senior Mary Churchill, who was in Advanced Acting, said, "You get to be someone you might have always wanted to be, but never can." She used "Cinderella" as an example.

Lincoln High had a variety of different classes that allowed students

to be involved in plays and shows, including Play/ Advanced Play Directing, Advanced Acting, Illusion Theatre, and Acting. Junior Jennifer Crawford, who was in Advanced Acting, and also Mummers, said, "Meeting new. people and being able to step away from reality to become someone else is the best part of being in drama." The drama classes performed in many different shows throughout the school year. They started the school year off with "The Dark of the Moon", and also "Antigone." Many friendships had emerged from drama, one's that would perhaps last a lifetime. But,

there is also a downside to bei n g drama. Sophomore Mike La ws or who was in and Acting class, s ai( "I hate journaling." Senior Am a nd Bergeron, who was in Acting an Advanced Acting, said, "The s t es "Dark of the Moon" created a h ug amount of stress that seeped in h ) tr rest of my life."

The classes also participat ed the Theatre-A-Thon, in which -hE performed on stage for twenty - :01 hours to raise money for chari t ' ·

Led and encouraged by din ct< John Heineman, the produc t or and cast were always able to e 1,te tain.

Lincoln High Bands Play A Different Tu11

By Emily McPherson

Lincoln High has a variety of bands that entertain not only the people playing in them, but the people who are listening to them. In fact, Lincoln High had five bands first semester, including Marching Band, Prep Jazz, Varsity Jazz, Orchestra, and Electronic Music Theory. Second semester the Marching Band was split into two separate bands, the Concert and Symphonic Band.

There are many reasons why students chose to be in a Lincoln High band. Sophomore Erin Champion, who is in concert band, said, "I wanted to be with my friends." While many friendships have emerged from band,

Junior Brooke Taylor, who is in a variety of bands, likes to work on a piece and see the results. She said, "When everyone works hard and the finished product comes out, it sounds so beautiful and you know your hard work has paid off."

Lincoln High' s Marching Band got to go to London on December 27- January 3, to participate in the Queen's New Year's Parade. Lincoln High Band director Terry Rush said, "I am really proud of the students, and all the hard work that they did for the past two years to prepare themselves for London." He added that the Lincoln High students were great ambassadors for Lincoln

High, the state of Nebraska, a1 United States.

A lot of students who went b don said they had a great time. Bhee Jay Arroyo liked the Top S clothing store in London. "Ever went crazy trying everything o said.

When they weren't practicing parade, the band members sightseeing at London Bridge, Bridge, Big Ben, Oxford Universi even to Shakespeare's home. J hard work that students did, it paid off. So when you hear an) . from Lincoln High, just remE you' re listening to a one of a kin

Pomalinks Show Superior Skills at Home & Abroat

By Jamie Mcllvane and Shelly Stevenson

The 97-98 Pomalinks worked hard bons. to give us good performances during football and basketball halftimes. The girls that were on the squad enjoyed dancing, performing, and lifting school spirit.

The Pomalinks are the Flagline who performed with the Marching Band and the dance team who performed during basketball season.

They competed in the Cornhusker State Games and received silver medals in the dance division.

The Pomalinks attended the Universal Dance Association camp this summer and brought home a superior team trophy, along with 43 superior individual squad member rib-

Our three senior members Cortney Brown, Brooke Kindler, and Jenny Philippi were selected as "All Stars" and were invited to Paris, France over Winter break.

The Pomalinks earned the right to compete in the National Competition at Disney World in December.

The entire fourteen-member squad had the honor of performing with the Lincoln High Marching Band in London England over Winter break this year.

"Having the crowd react positively to our routines and to be able to get into the games free!" was the thing Junior Brande Wikoff said was the

most enjoyable thing about bein Pomalink. The most rewarding ex rience for senior Brooke Kindler 1 "the trip to London England with band. It was an experience of a 1 time!" she said.

"I enjoy being a Pomalink beca it is a 1ot of fun and I get the chanc represent Lincoln High," said Sop more Toni Wilson.

The Pomalinks have members , involved in Student Council, Mt mers, Sophomore Select Choir, Yo Leadership Council, Swing Choir, r sical and other school activities ; clubs.

With all their activities, the Pomali still maintain high scholastic grade:

Cheerleaders Try to Raise School Spirit.

By Brooke Brestel

As our curriculum changes more and more to "multicultural education," we learn to get away from using stereotypes to label people. This applies to everyone. But one group at Lincoln High feels that they are repeatedly stereotyped as, "dumb, ditzy, air- headed girls who just jump around and look pretty," cheerleading .sponsor Cindy Hoehne said.

In their opinion, they are anything but that.

Every year, anyone who wants to be a cheerleader tries out in the spring. Tryouts are pretty basic according to Senior Varsity Cheerleader Miranda Moseman. Many others found tryouts to be incredibly nerve racking, as tryouts in anything are.

All three squads are required to fol-

low the athletic department's guidelines regarding grades, attendance, and eligibility, as all athletes are. But how many people actually think of cheerleaders as athletes?

Hoehne thinks that could change if the squads were allowed to "stunt", but according to LPS policy, the cheerleaders remain grounded.

"Let us stunt, show you our strength and athletic ability. If we could stunt, I guarantee you would see one of the best CO-ED squads in the state right here at LHS," Hoehne stated.

Aside from all of that, the cheerleaders continue to try to raise, what they say, is Lincoln High' s lac k of school spirit. Sophomore Reserve Cheerleader Leslie Ossian summed it up by saying, "Look at us, look at Southeast." But they

keep on trying. The cheerleaders are every home football, basketball, a 1 volleyball game, trying to keep ever one into the games.

Besides the negative response m 1 cheerleaders get from some teach e1 •staff and student body, there are m 21 reasons why the cheerleaders do w ~ they do.

At least they are trying to get invo b 1 with Lincoln High' s activities, reg ar less of what they do.

Even though they get some nega j ity from some of the school, junior E son Young feels that the best thing ar J being a cheerleader isn't necessarily tl cheering part.

"You get to meet a lot of diffe12 people and you always have some ) J there for you no matter what," she s d

Links Take Active Role In Their Communit~

By Nicole Nevels

Contrary to what many people believe, students do have better things to do than come home after school and watch talks shows. Many students are actively involved in their community.

This year there were countless Lincoln High Students who participated in numerous activities simply because they were fun or because they thought the cause was important. Students not only participated in events like the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Rally and March, but many Lincoln High students also got involved in planning the activities that were held throughout that day.

Some of Dr. King's speeches were delivered, Lincoln High' s Voices of Destiny gave an awesome performance, and some of Lincoln's leaders spoke, including Lela Shanks, UNL Chancellor James Moeser, and • Jesse Myles speaking as if he were Dr. King today. •

Another activity which many Lincoln students were active in the planning of, was the September Hispanic Festival, which brought authentic food, dance, music, and plenty of fun.

Those who enjoyed the Renaissance Era were able to participate in the weekend-long festivities of the Renaissance Festival in Bonner

Springs, Kansas. Another event t ] students got themselves involve d was the Asian New Year Celebra t i held at the University of Nebra ~: which also offered many cultural c portunities and activities.

Several members of the Lin n High Student Council participateJ the AIDS walk to help raise mone1 Aids research and to keep in sha p

If nothing else this dedication t o 1 community should show that Lim < High students are not so typical.

Community Activities

The Halls are Alive With the Sound of Musii

By Brigette Hertlein

"The thing I like most about singing is the way it makes me feel," senior Jenny Philippi ·said. "I could be having an awful day and I'll get to Concert Choir and it never fails, I always feel so much better," she explained "It's like my own home remedy for a bad day "

Music means many different things to different students at Lincoln High School, and there are five musical groups that allow these students to express themselves. LHS offers Concert Choir, Varsity Swing Choir, Voices of Destiny, Soundsations, and Sophomore Select.

Senior Concert Choir member Tara Mariska said, "Being part of such a welou of sin ers is what I like

about singing. Everyone is there to sing and take pride in what we sound like," she said.

Being involved in music groups is usually not only singing, but interacting with other students in the group and sometimes it is very entertaining. • "In Concert Choir one day, Mr. Skutchan lifted up his pant leg, put his leg on the piano and showed us his holiday socks," junior Kristy Howell said. ''Maran Kunkel did the same and almost broke the piano," she added.

Senior Voices of Destiny member Lamont Russell said, "Music is a part of my life. Without music, I don't know what I would do." Many music students felt this way, devoting numerous hours to rehearsal, and erfectin their

parts for their many performances school and out of school.

Voices of Destiny had the oppor nity to sing at the Lied Cente r j Corretta Scott King and at the Dr. M tin Luther King Jr. Youth Rally.

IIG ·Takes a Step in the Right Directio n

By Brooke Brestel and Emily McPherson

You're sitting at one of Lincoln High' s pep rallies, glad to have gotten out of class, but worried that it might run over into lunch. All of a sudden that worry is gone as you hear the announcer introduce the step chain, IIG. You automatically sit up, and prepare yourself for one heck of a show.

"Stepping", a rhythmic dance combination of clapping and stomping the feet, has been performed for centuries in the African culture, but IIG started when Lincoln High alumn Eddie Brown decided that the guy step chain, and the girl step chain that were once separated should come together as one. IIG was the result. Lincoln High was

the only high school in Lincoln that had a step chain. The group that traditionally consisted of African Americans came together to entertain others. The group performed at all sorts of places including, Irving, Goodrich, Lincoln Children's Museum, LNE' s "Bridging the Gap," anq of course their home school, Lincoln High. Junior Stacey Goodlett said, "I wanted to be in IIG because I liked the way it looked and wanted to be a part of it."

For one to be in IIG, one must have skill, and put in a lot of practice. Practices consisted of working on steps for upcoming performances ·and coming up with new ideas. Despite the fact that

members didn't always have a con s tent place to practice, they still enjoy having the chance to perform.

Junior Angela Abbott said, "I lo to entertain people and I love the • sponse from the crowd." Junior Ro ) Fowler said, 'We' ve come a long T through all our struggles, rules, L regulations. I feel that IIG is somethi that is very special to me, and I w ill everything possible to make sure 11 they succeed in all their goals an d , complishments."

IIG gave the performers a chanc express their feelings through steps r they gave the rest of the student bo ci: chance to watch in awe.

IIG members practiced in the hallways and anywhere else they could find. Practices led to their outstanding performances.

Trap Team Takes Aim at Unconventional Sp or

By Maurice Shinall

"Pull!" That word is what thirteen students from the Lincoln High School trap team have been saying for the past year.

When you think of sports, trap is usually not the first that comes to mind, but here a LHS, some students ventured out and tried something new.

There are different reasons members of the trap team decided to play the sport. "I enjoy shooting and wanted to expand my skills," sophomore Garrison Avery said.

Sophomore Jason Becker says he is on the trap team so he has some-

Bowling Champions Roll Over Opponents

By Maurice Shinall

"CHAMPS," is the best word to describe the Lincoln High bow ling teams this year. This season the boys and the girls teams both performed their best leading them both to all-city titles, and the boys to the state championship.

Senior Bhee Jay Arroyo credited winning state to the fact that, "we didn't have the problems that the other schools had, because everyone on the team knew their role." Junior Trina Journey said, "We made adjustments well between the different bowling centers."

For the most part, the Lincoln High bowling team went unnoticed, but in fact they were quite good. Both boys

and girls ranked number one in Lincoln. The boys took state, and the girls came in 4th. Even though they didn't win state, the girls worked really well as a team, improving their bowling skills to another level.

They met their goals for the season by becoming united as a team, and doing their best to win city and state tournaments. The team had many strong bowlers who averaged from 185-205, and were very consistent throughout the whole season.

The season started out slowly, but they towered over the competition throughout the rest of the year. Northeast proved to be their only competition. Junior Scott Boltz said, "We need

to work on alittle entusiasm, , working on our spares, and no t ~ ting so down when we mess up ."

Most of the team bowled in a le : on Saturday mornings, and mos t l family members or friends helped them pratice.

The girls had an excellent se a ~ They got first in city, and they w e r: well together, doing better than t: expected.

Junior Erin Davis said, "We W E n great bowlers and got along gre c ~worked really well togethe r , bowled as a team, and not as ind i ri als.

Colophon

The 1998 LINKS was printed on 80# Monarch Gloss paper and published by Walsworth Publishing Company of Marceline, Missouri. The cover was designed by Creative Services at Walsworth and was printed on White Linen in four color with grain applied. Cover copy was printed in Silver Matte Hot Foil. The board weight was 160 point with Smyth Sewing, and the cover was book rounded and backed. The Division Page photos were printed with Spot Color in 40% Desert Red, and the endsheets were printed on Series II Bright White.

{

Layout was done with Aldus PageMaker 5.0 desktop publishing using Power Macintosh computers. Copy was in 12 point, headlines were in various sizes, and captions were in 10 point. The fonts used were: Palatino, Times, and Helvetica, Chicago, Geneva, Script MT Bold, Klang MT, Gill Sans Condensed, Old English Text MT, Bodoni MT Ultra Bold, Arial MT Condensed Light, New York, Bookman, New Berolina MT, Lucidia Casual, and Zapf Chancery. Cover names were stamped in Silver 904.

The theme idea came from the LINKS staff (mostly Nicole's idea), and the folio design was created by Greg Keller on the Macintosh with Ofoto® , and Adobe Photoshop™. The Underclass photos were taken by Life Touch Studios. Yearbooks were sold for $35 in the fall and winter, and for $40 in the spring. Yearbooks contain 272 pages, and 1200 copies were printed.

In addition to an incredibly huge thanks to Mike Diffenderfer for his overwhelming help with the production of this book, the LINKS staff wishes to thank the following people for their support, contributions, hard work, and understanding: The parents of the LINKS staff for allowing their children to spend long hours after school and on weekends to meet deadlines, Lincoln High faculty, staff, and administration for their understanding when students were taken out of class for interviews and when LINKS students didn't quite make it to class on time, Cynt~a Wehland-Falk for the sports team photos, the Advocate staff for sharing space and allowing us to use photos, and special thanks to Mandy Bergeron, Robbyn Bums, Ryana Markey, and Shanna Fanning for helping with photos, printing, record keeping, and providing moral support.
