T.ate has already won the principal's approval.

Babies, B1nld.es , & While East's office staff is good at handling teens and tantrums, three of these women are learning how to handle real babiestheir own. Principal Sue Cassata, Special Ed Coordinator Natalie Wehry and Secretary Melanie Hansel all became new mothers last summer. Now, these new mothers are figuring out what it's like to balance a baby while also keeping high-school st~dents under control. One of these mothers shares her storie below. Cassata spent much of last year as principal pregnant. Her story of carrying her baby is unlike any other, and it proves that her baby boy was indeed a blessing. "Before I had a baby, whatever was going on at school was my life," said Cassata. "Now, there is a balance piece for those things. I need to balance my dedication for school with my love for my son." Most of Cassata's pregnancy went as planned; healthy baby, healthy mother. However, when Cassata was 20 weeks pregnant, she fell at school and broke her leg. "I don't know if actually being pregnant changed my school year as much as breaking my leg," Cassata said. "Because I was un-

Jovie looks just like her mother, Melanie Hansel.

h t know how to smile to Tate Cassata Charbonneau is sma~ enou~ o the principal, who happens to be his mom.

Books able to do the things I was able to do before I broke my leg, I had to rely on others, trust and gracefully accept help." Much of that help culminated on May 26, when doctors induced Cassata after becoming concerned about the health of her kidneys. At 6:07 P.M. that day, Tate Cassata Charbonneau was born, weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces. Cassata is working with the changes that came along with Tate. "Before I had Tate, I would take part in all school activities," she said. "But I can't take him to a musical because there is no guarantee he will be quiet. Sporting events are fine, though!" Cassata laughed. Thinking about her son's future, Cassata begins to cry. "There are things that intrigue me ... and frighten me," she said. "I want him to enjoy school, embrace learning, and, most of all, love the discovery piece. I want him to have his dad's love for music and math and develop my sense of spirit. So, will the principal's son attend East? "I don't want him to feel inferior or superior because I am his motherI want him to be his own person," she said. "I just want him to be happy and be around people who adore him."

Special Kvent Over the summer, East junior Hope Waggoner had an experience of a lifetime. She was one of the thousands of volunteers who helped at the Special Olympics USA National Games which came to Lincoln July 16-23. Hope worked in the craft tent and was also a "bouncer" at the VIP tent, which was a place for athletes to eat food, get some shade, watch the bands and trade their pins. Hope had many reasons for volunteering a week of her summer. "I knew it would be a really great experience/ she said. "I wanted to be there for all the athletes. They are all pretty great and worked really hard to get there." The most personal reason for volunteering, though, was Hope's older sister, Haley, who was playing tennis in the National Games. Being a part of the games became even more memorable when the Waggoner family was able to see Haley win a gold medal in tennis. "My favorite part was meeting Andy Roddick and staying in the dorms," Haley said. "I loved playing tennis everyday and spending time with my team. I will never forget winning a gold medal with my family and friends." Hope was amazed by the generosity and appreciation each athlete had for the volunteers. She was touched when a man gave her one of his trading pins, because usually, the pins were only for athletes to trade. "Everyone was so nice there and so welcoming," Hope said. "Even though we were there for them, they felt like they should be rewarding us."

A Day's Work During summer vacation, most high schoolers for the sun to shine before they made their way to the poo Rain or shine, though, East senior Ethan Ebito's alarm clock rang early each morning so that he could make 7 a.m. swim practice. He followed practice by riding his bike to Hillcrest Country Club's pool. There was no relaxing in lawn chairs or trips to the snack bar for him, though, just long shifts spent lifeguarding families, coaching swimmers, and power-washing dirt out from the carpet surrounding the pool. Ebito's summer days sound familiar to Sophia laquinta who spent many summer days at Prairie Life and Eastridge Pool since she started guarding two years ago. Even though laquinta originally applied because "i close, the hours wer •

The fall months are when Dress gets feedback from the freshmen and teachers abol.'.lt what worked and what didn't.

\A>rnt-or During the winter months, it's coast tim~ for Freshman-Day planning. Dress just takes a break from thinking about the day, knowing she'll be plenty busy in the spring.

S-prrng It's five months before the freshmen even show up, but Dress has "fresh men" on her brain. Now is the time to figure out what needs to get done for next fall's Freshman Day. She starts looking for prizes and other trinkets to hand out. It's also the time to figure out which activities work and which ones

should be dumped.

Planning really heats up in the summer months. Now's the time for Dress and other committee members to order everything from temporary tattoos to pens and folders. She's still looking for prizes, too. And the committee starts to sort out who is going to do what on Freshman Day. "It's nice the whole staff gets involved with freshman ·day," said Dress.

Words, Love, Travel Fighting cancer seems like a depressing battle, unless you're English teacher Andrea Kabourek. Kabourek was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2009 and underwent surgery and chemo a month later. Having a potentially fatal disease was a positive learning experience for her. "You learn how strong your relationships are," said Kabourek. She also realized how supportive the staff and students are at East. "Kids I've never had before ould come up to me in the hall and tell me they believed I could beat the cancer." Kabourek enjoyed shaving her head and having a bright fuschia mohawk before losing her hair to chemo. After starting treatments, Kabourek had different teachers draw designs with Sharpie markers on her head. "It was interesting to see people's reactions to my mohawk and the designs," she said. "It was like my very own sociological experiment." Fighting cancer had its benefits in the classroom as well. "I became more aware of everyone's needs," Kabourek said. "We all have problems and baggage." Kabourek still came to school even after her chemo treatments started. It helped students see her as something more than just a teacher: a human. "It gave kids the idea 1...- . . that you can fight anything." Those who know Kabourek know she's always been a risk taker, adventurer, and avid traveler. This teacher, who just last summer, was hang gliding over Turkey and climbing volcanoes in Hawaii, proved that fighting cancer was like traveling across uncharted lands. She approached her battle with the same careful planning and determined attitude that applies to teaching. "The world is a big classroom and we all have so much to learn."

Add Up Everyone can imagine a student's journey through high school, but a teacher's story is often left untold. Math Department Chair John Matzke's journey to East took 16 years to make, and included stops at Lincoln High and Southeast. For a Spartan newcomer, though, he's already familiar with the school. Matzke's children, Lori and Aaron are students at East and his wife Beth often subs here. Despite the familiar faces, though, there has already been plenty for him to learn this year. Along with teaching a new set of students and using new math books, Matzke, like the rest of East's teachers, had to learn to use the new Pinnacle Online grading system. Change can be challenging, but "w~rking with students is a highlight," said Matzke. "Students are generally here to learn and grow in understanding math." So how has it been as the new guy on the block, leading East's math department? "Being the department chair makes you more aware," said Matzke. "You have to be attentive to people's needs." Matzke enjoys working with both teachers and students, and being able to bring his own teaching style to a brand new bunch of teens, breaking up the class time and adding a touch of humor are ways he keeps the students interested. Even Matzke's mode of transportation sets him apart from others. Most days he bicycles to East before the sun is up, and parks his bike in the math office. It's no surprise then., to hear Matzke's advice to teens. "Jump on the train and enjoy the journey!" Mr. Matzke brings humor and a personal touch to his classes. This year, he taught Pre- College Math, Pre Cal, and Algebra.

Social .Studies

WaPo: Tears and Pioke t Lines To We-Pwn: (verb) a slang term meaning to conquer or gain ownership over a state or national We the People tournament. Example: Jonathan Stewart Feingold and Mr. Rippe's class We-Pwn. "I enjoy political debate, especially when there are tears and picket lines involved," Feingold said. This interest has led him through most of East's Social Studies classes from Civics D to AP GoPo/WePo, and everything in between. "No one can escape from politics unle3s you want to move to Montana's back woods," he said. "You might as well know what's going on in the capitol or D.C., becau~e it affects us a whole lot." Feingold's passion for heated debates led him to take WePo, a time-consuming and work-intensive class. Feingold hopes to qualify for WePo nationals and be given the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. with his classmates, seeking to "cause mayhem with Aaron Matzke." Beyond causing mayhem, Feingold is considering pursuing a career in the foreign service. "It is an opportunity to do interesting work in remote parts of the world," he said. "Also, ... the free airfare." Despite his interest in politics, though, Feingold said he will never be a politician because he "hates asking people for money."

Bug-eyed tor Sc1ence How do you hook a freshman on science? Dan Shafer keeps his students excited about science by creating fun projects that appeal to both boys and girls, such as the insect project. "You get to go outside and do something different from monotonous class lectures," said junior Jessica Qiu. Marcus Schmidt sees no shortage of motivation in his science classes, either. Schmidt, who has a class full of seniors in Advanced Chemistry, believes most of his students are interested in pursuing a career in the science field. "Most are highly motivated to begin with," said Schmidt. "I don't get any credit for how hard they work." Both Shafer and Schmidt modify their teaching styles to reach the different grade levels. Shafer said freshmen actually want to learn new things rather than just getting work done, like he sees in the older students. His freshmen want to have discussions so he tends to teach faster. Schmidt's senior class likes to be more independent, \Vhich is why he devotes second semester to independent study. Despite the differences in teaching styles, both introductory and upper-level science classes are hands on, which keeps their students· interested in science. While women are a minority in the science field, Shafer's wife, a nurse, comes to talk to his classes, which helps his female students see possible job opportunities in the science field. Schmidt says that he hasn't had to worry about keeping his female students interested in the classes. "The girls are usually more interested and generally have a better skill set, " said Schmidt.

Art

Art, by definition, is the quality, production, expression or realm of what is beautiful and appealing. Isn't it amazing that, even in high school, we get to take hold of what the idea of "art" is and make it our own? For freshman Sara Donovan, art is a fun class slipped in.between the required classes all freshmen have to take. "I'm taking 2-0/3-0 Design, and we're drawing pictures that work with lines. Later in the semester we get to work with metal," she said. As for how art in high school differs from art in middle school, she said "it's a lot more hands on." For seniors, on the other hand, art may lead to a major in college or simply act as a stress reliever in a hectic schedule. For senior Hayd~n Kaderly, art is the latter. He's been in art classes since his freshman year, moving from Beginning Drawing to Beginning Photography. For his senior year he's taking Photography Portfolio, a class that gives him the freedom to show himself as an artist. "Art becomes more individually driven as you get older," he said. "Teachers start letting you have the freedom to pursue more of what you want to do rather than structured assignments." His favorite things to photograph are nature, landscape and up-close shots of plants/bugs. "It's called macro photography," he said. The project he has most enjoyed is the self-portrait. "I combined a photograph of my face with a nature photo and brightened the shade to my face," he said. Art is not limited to just drawing and photography, however. "The possibilities are limitless. Go wherever you want to go, do whatever you want to do, and never let anyone or anything bring you down," said Kaderly.

As a 12 year old, East junior Tanner O'Dell found himself staying up late on summer nights to watch The Food Channel and cooking as much as he could . No one's amazing just starting out. For O'Dell, his earliest cooking ventures included lots of burned food. With each creation though, he learned something new. "It all depends on the way you make it," he said. "You couid try it one way and have it totally disgusting. But another way it can be amazing." Equally amazing was the experience of catering a meal for Nebraska's governor. "I was nervous at first but then I got used to all of it." said O'Dell. As his kitchen talents have increased, so has the attention. O ' Dell has gotten most of that attention from Facebook and Twitter. He has been published in two magazine articles. While O'Dell can't decide upon his favorite food, he can narrow it down to his favorite type of cooking. "I love grilling," he said. "When the weather is right I try to be outside grilling." O 'Dell credits the two FCS classes for helping him with food sanitation and getting into the LPS competitions. His interest in cooking not only opened doors to different kinds of cooking but also to new opportunities for being social and getting out there. Those opportunities have proven to be the perfect recipe for O'Dell's success. "Follow your passion," he said . "Do what you want to do."

P.E.

Brace yourself for this breaking news: John Gingery didn't want to be a high-school P.E. teacher. Coach? Yes. Teacher? No. He was offered a coaching position at UNL, but declined because he wanted to have a family. So, he decided to become a businessman. He made a lot of money but was unhappy, and, after a year, e realized that he was not in the right career. "God kinda hit me right between the eyes and said 'This is what you need to do'," said Gingery. He started teaching English and coaching at Wymore Southern High School, where he worked for four years before coming to East. Here he teaches Weight Training, Fitness for Life and Officiating. He also coaches football and track. ' Gingery's favorite part about being a P.E. teacher is watching students push themselves and improve. • "I love proving they can do something that they think they can't," he said. After coaching for 30 years, Gingery has many memories, but the most impacting experience was Brady Beran's football injury in 2004. That year was a journey in itself. After Brady's injury, Gingery had to focus on building his team back up from the bottom. With everyone's help, Brady went from barely moving his arms to benching 135 pounds by the end of that year. "It was great coaching that team. I think we won one game that year, but scores didn't matter," Gingery said. People looking from the outside may not have noticed how much those players had improved, but Gingery was proud. Where does Gingery plan to go from here? "When I'm done I'm gonna be an obscure hermit," he said. "When you coach and teach you know everyone, and sometimes it would be nice to be a little lonesome guppy."

It's the 011mb Most everyone can byst out a verse or two while driving in the car, but, to junior Ethan Walsh, music is more than a filler. It's a way of life. Walsh dove head first into music when he was 7 years old, starting with the guitar. "I wanted to play because of' Freaky Friday' and 'School of Rock'," he said. "It just looked so cool!" Along with playing guitar, Walsh started singing and playing piano at a very young age. He still.has recordings he made of himself when he was first starting off. "They're really terrible," he said. Walsh has come a long way since he first picked up the guitar. He now sings, plays guitar, piano, bass, drums, ukulele, and even writes his own songs. In his drive to improve, he's taken several East music classes including guitar classes, Express Show Choir, and Singers. He's also involved in barbershop quartet workshops outside of school. Walsh can't imagine doing anything but music for the rest of his life. He plans to major in it, either going into music education or vocal performance. He doesn't know where in life his passion will take him, but no matter where Walsh goes from here, he wants to take his music with him. "I just don't know what I would do without it."

There's always that one teacher that you remember, one teacher who influences you one way or the .other. For many East students, especially those with a love of all things automotive, Ron Suing is that one teacher. "I want my students to be the best at what they do. I want to let kids know this is the beginning of the road," he said. "I want them to be able to look in the mirror and know that they are the best at what they do," he sajd. He said he once had a high school student that read at a fifth-grade level whom he taught, in pai.t, by letting him read Hot Rod magazines. By the end of the year, the student was reading at his grade level. For Suing, there's more to Auto Tech than the basic nuts-and-bolts of the subject.· "I teach math, English and history all in one class and some people don't realize that, " he said. Most people, he said, are not aware of all the history that's in cars. Turns out, East is making some of its own history in this arena as well. For the first time in 20 years his classes have the opportunity to go to the Ford AAA Trouble-Shooting contest in Milford, where some participants will leave with a job offer from local Ford dealers. It's clear that like a well-tuned car, these classes are humming along.

Down to Business Critical thinking, ethical decision making and interpreting economic data are all in a day's work in the East Business Department. The department prides itself on providing students with real-world opportLJnities. With classes ranging from Marketing to Web Page Programming, the possibilities are truly endless. Just ask Matt Maw, the department's newest addition, who teaches a range of business classes and sponsors DECA. Maw, a UNL graduate and Peg Trumble's former student teacher, joined the business department with a forward-thinking attitude while acknowledging the department's legacy. "The skills you're going to learn rn a business class will carry over to college or directly into the workforce," said Maw. This real-life application keeps the students coming back for more business courses. While subjects like math and history have indirect links to most careers, business courses teach the specifics. "We're developing future leaders," said Maw. The Business Department has seen many of these developing leaders take cowses from Sports and Entertainment Marketing all the way to Advanced Marketing and AP MicroEconomics. "We've had a lot of successful students ·pass through East," said Peg Trumble, the Business Department chair. So whether it be working for an animation studio in California or starting and eventually selling a data gathering company for a hefty sum, the East Business Department can get you there.

Mr. Maw uses his iPad for for everything from attendence to PowerPoints. Few students were given the priyilege of touching t his coveted piece of technology.

With 41 years of teaching under her belt, Senora Susan Ptacek emerged from San Antonio, Texas with a cultural language background in Spanish and French from the University of San Antonio. , "Spanish is a destination," she said of her career choice. "It came easy to me." Like most high-school teachers, Senora Ptacek had to find a way to get her students excited to learn something new, let alone a different language. Unlike most teachers, though, she found her hook in soap operas. "I've always used soap operas," she said. "I started with educational operas first, but then I found "Rebelde". Rebelde ("rebel" in English) is a Mexican soap opera that aired from 2004 to 2006. Her students love the mischief and drama in the show. ~specially the music. Alley Foley is a Rebelde fanatic. "I own all the CD's, I love that show!" she said. Senora Ptacek's own Spanish -teaching road trip has taken her to some interesting places as a teacher. "I've learned that exploring pop culture, in a different language, helps better relate to youth," she said. She feels her greatest pride when former students go into Spanish as a career. Take Senora Miller, for example. An East High graduate who worked with Senora Ptacek as a practicum student, Miller went on to become an East High Spanish teacher herself. For Ptacek, then, it's the journey--both hers and her students' --that makes the job worthwhile. "I also enjoy working with students who, at the beginning don't like Spanish, and try to excite them," she said. "That's my favorite!" Muy bien!

Reid Newcomer works hard in class.

Social Bug Unlike most freshmen, when Reid Newcomer started at East four years ago, most of the seniors actually knew--and liked--him. He sat with the seniors at lunch, roamed the hallways with them, and "just loved talking with them." It's no surprise, then, what moments this special-education student has most enjoyed at East. Newcomer said he loved "hanging out with seniors when I was a freshman." Newcomer is one of those bubbly, outgoing students that everyone seems to know. The red head came to know other students through the various activities he participates in, including being the Varsity Basketball manager. "My friends told me to be the manager, and it was also my favorite sport," he said. He began managing the team when he was a freshman, and is still the manager as a senior. Jordan Newman, a varsity basketball player, said Newcomer has contributed a lot to the team. "Not only has he done basic things such as fill our water bottles and line up basketballs but he also makes us laugh," said Newman. "He is not like other sports managers-he makes it.fun." Like any other students, Newcomer has experienced numerous changes throughout high school. Not only have those changes affected him as an individual, but they have also had a great impact upon others, including the basketball players. · "Now that Reid is older, he is more confident," said Newman. "He stands up for himself and even tells jokes. He's great!"

The •Recognized American School Counselor Association Model Program" award given to East High School.

Counseling

The East High counselors have no problem mentioning their biggest achievement: the Recognized America School Counselor Association Model Program Award. East's Counseling Center is the first among Nebraska schools to receive it. "You can tell we're proud, " said Counseling Department Chair Brenda Leggiadro. Leggaiadro explained that in order to have a successful counseling center, the staff must be excited to see students succeed and work together for a common mission. This helped the East counseling center become nationally recognized. The journey to become recognized across the nation began about a year and a half ago. To earn this award, the Counseling Department had to prove that they fit the needs of their students. Throughout the years, the Counseling Center has provided students with many new l opportunities. The award isn 't the only thing F1ew that's impacted the Counseling Center this year. Pinnacle, the new online grade and attendance program, provides easier access to grades from anywhere and at anytime for both students and parents. Pinnacle's new e-mail system also gives parents a chance to sign up for detailed e-mail alerts based upon things like grades or attendance. On an average day, between 30 and 40 students come into the Counseling Center for schedule changes, college information, scholarships, GPAs, ACTs, personal guidance and more. "More students come in just for questions as well, " said Counseling Center Secretary Carol Cruickshank, pushing that daily number to over 50 on some days. "I like being around students. It's fun to see the growth and excitement that comes with change" said Leggiadro.

Turning the pages or literature From "To Kill a Mockingbird" to the "Harry Potter" novels, the library has seen a significant change in the literature that the students read. Ten years ago, students were reading vastly different genres of stories than they are today. So what sort of stories are teenagers reading today? What changed their interests and ideas of a good book, influencing authors to write and satisfy their needs? "Adolescent literature has changed the most," said East teacher •librarian Roxann Sattler. "It's spicier, more authentic and more sophisticated. Teen life has become more complicated." Teen literature has become more diverse as the students have changed over the years. The basic novels everyone knows so well today are not the only type of books offered at the library. Another popular style is taking over by storm: the graphic novels, also known as Manga, which are native to Japan. They are something like backwards-read comic books, which are often set in or influenced by Japanese culture. "'Fruit Basket' is my favorite," said senior Laura Meyer. Currently, Meyer is taking a break from reading Manga. "I prefer regular novels to Manga because you can imagine more instead of having it on the page for you." As much as East's collection of books has evolved to fit the interests of its students, the library also has seen many technological changes as well. Just as a teenager's taste in books has changed, so have the devices that they need and use. The library has tried to keep up with these. Following the construction changes, the East library was equipped with new computers. Sattler said that it is important to have up-to date material in the library so the students have every possible opportunity to succeed. The libraries are thrilled with the changes that have occurred in the library, as they "feel the process of using a library is important for everyone."

Private to Public

Story: Kirstyn Camp Photo: Ashley Manske

For freshmen Macie Carter and Riley Bretz, coming to East has been a big change. Ever since they were little, they had attended Lincoln Christian. There, their school days included attending chapel on Fridays and a regular Bible class every day. "Lincoln Christian was a great school but it did not have enough funding to offer differentiated classes," said Bretz. "I wanted to challenge myself, so I changed to public." Carter's reason for changing was because both of her brothers came to East so she felt that it would be a good place for her, too. Both of the girls have been friends since they were young, so they were glad when they had someone they could go to when they were still in the process of making new friends. While both liked going to Lincoln. Christian, d Macie Carter share their Freshman Riley Bretz an . I both also are happy at East, where they can experistories about going into a public schoo • ence more kids and classes. " At Lincoln Christian everyone knew everyone but at East, there is always an opportunity to make new friends," said Carter. As with all changes, though, there have been adjustments for them. "I really like this school, but I also really miss my friends that stayed," said Bretz. Another change that really struck them were their relationships with teachers. "At Lincoln Christian, my teachers and I were closer than the teachers here," said Bretz. "We talked more than the ones here do." While that may be true, they both feel that making this monumental change was for the best.

Brady Pramberg: ·Boy:. Genius

tt ts to teach Ms. Butler Sophomore genius Brady Pramberg a emp a lesson in AP Calculus D.

You may know him as the "smart kid in AP Cale D", but sophomore Brady Pram berg simply describes himself as responsible. The only sophomore in a senior-level math class, Pramberg looks like your average sophomore guy. His favorite class? History of Sport. "I love baseball," said Pramberg. "My favorite team is the Houst6n Astros and I hate the Yankees." This math whiz has set himself apart since second grade, when he began a differentiated math class. At Lefler Middle School he had a math tutor because he was beyond the math offerings of tha,t school.

Underneath all of that intellect, though, is a guy wh·o sounds·like a typical sophomore. "The best part of sophomore year is having all of my friends at the same school," Pram berg said. "The worst part is more homework." AP Cale Differentiated teacher Mary Butler said she has enjoyed having Pramberg in her class. "He has a quiet confidence, as well as an exceptional work ethic," she said. High school so far has been a "good challenge" for this future Engineering major. While people may someday see him on the front page of a business magazine, for now, Brady Pramberg is the "quiet genius" who otherwise seems no different than anyone else.

Living the life of a fashion model is a fantasy for most girls, but sophomore Emerie Gifford is living that dream. Gifford started modeling and doing modeling pageants over a year and a half ago. Her mom, R~bin Jones Gifford, is the owner and founder of Springboard Finishing and Modeling School. Through Springboard, Gifford has taken "Grace Under Pressure," etiquette classes that have helped her prepare for her new career. "You have to comfortable in front of people to be a model. You have to be yourself," she said. "Taking classes has given me a lot of confidence. " • On Gifford's most recent excursion to New York, she visited the famous Elite Model Management. "Elite is actually really interested in me," said the 5'7" Gifford, who acknowledged that she's a bit on the short and skinny side for a model. "They want to work with me and train me so I can book a bunch.of jobs." When Gifford was in New York, Elite management told her to stop playing volleyball; the constant workout made her more muscular than models te'nd to be. Gifford says she's willing to give up things for modeling, but she'll miss the sport. "I play volleyball for fun, but I definitely like modeling better," said Gifford. "I know this job won't last forever, and I wantto milk it for all it's worth." Sop omore Emerie Gi ord has found success bot on the runway and the volleyball court

Stressing the Positive

Left to right: Paige Leffers, Katie McCabe, Audrey Beedle, Lindsey Morgan.Jessie Horn

Sophomore Audrey Beedle's high-school experience has been an ongoing adventure. With all her extracurricular activities and a tough class load, she has a lot on her plate. "l•am prepared to be stressed out," she said. Outside of the classroom, she plays softball and cheers. Beedle plans to work hard to balance her time between sports, cheering and school. She also expects to be more focused this year, in part because she knows she is going to be busy. That means she'll need to'work harder to get the grades she wants. A busy school life hasn't always been part of Beedle's days. As a freshman last year, she started out just doing things for fun. As she got more outgoing and comfortable with sports and activities, though, she found she wanted to become more serious about getting involved.

What does being a junior in high school mean? Normally, it means driving for the first time, finally being an upperclassman , going out to lunch, harder classes and more freedom. Normally, being a junior doesn 't mean bringing a boom box to Westfield Mall, singing along to Hannah Montana songs in front of the food court and promptly being escorted out by police. Most juniors aren 't like Isaac Allen , though. Not only is he known for singing in malls, but every so often you can also catch him up on one of East's lunch tables, singing whatever song is on his mind. "Instead of doing something dangerous and risky, singing is a fun way to let loose and have fun without getting in trouble.-" he says. This singing sensation is also one of East's fastest 5K runners ever. Four days --~o -~n brain surgery, and all of a before Districts, though, that running career got put on hold, thanks to a movie in Psychology class. "We were watching a video on brain surgery, and all of a sudden everyth,ing went dark, " he said. "I woke up ten minutes later, and started walking around our class, only it felt like a dream. " Following the incident, East trainer Mac McQuiston gave Allen a concussion test, which he failed. "I couldn't run in districts because I failed that concussion test," he said. " I was mad, but there wasn 't anything I could do, and I knew it wouldn 't really affect my running at State." Anything else besides singing in public places, and running Allen is passionate about? "My religion, my family, my friends, and my girlfriend. Oh , and Curtiss Dlouhy. He's a sexy beast. "

No Pain, No Gain

Story: Cassy Swartz Photos: Ashley Manske Layout: Alex Albers

Junior Breck Ostrander knows, first hand, that every journey includes some challenges. Ostrander has had her fair share of challenges but she's learned to overcome them _ with a positive attitude and smile on her face. When she was 9, Ostrander experienced intense pain in her legs. After several MRls, she was diagnosed with Legg-calve-perthes disease, a rare disease in which a blood clot causes the femur to die. When it grows back, the bone is painfully misshaped. "It just makes me appreciate the little things more," said Ostrander. "Every time I run, I appreciate the moment." To her doctor's surprise, Ostrander didn't let her disease affect her love for soccer. Her dream is to continue to play soccer with the Varsity Soccer team this year. "I really hope I get to play this season," Ostrander said. Despite three intensive surgeries and three months out of school for recovery, Ostrander keeps her high-school plans alive. "I've done my best to keep up with school.," Ostrander said. She even has managed to maintain honor-roll grades through the process. Ostrander faces another surgery next year and an eventual hip replace ment. Although none of Ostrander's surgeries are fit into her hectic high school life, she has found happiness in overcoming the worst. Every journey has its stories and Ostrander has found herself one worth telling.

Year Abroad Shannen Lambdin is no ordinary junior. She has seized every opportunity that could spice up her high school experience, even if that opportunity meant traveling half a world away. Lambdin spent what would have been her junior year studying abroad in Taiwan. "The food was amazing, there was hardly any homework, I met a ton of new people and the teachers were awesome," Lambdin said. • Seems like every high school student's dream: take a year off and explore t'he world! Yet there was one drawback: Lambdin left as a junior, so she returned as a junior. She is now one year behind her normal graduating class. "It really doesn't bother me much," said Lambdin. "I have a lot of junior friends and Taiwan was totally worth it." The experience was so worth it that she hopes to go back to Taiwan some day. "I 'm not sure if I will return to study, but I will definitely visit," Lambdin said. "I have family and friends there, and I really wantto keep up those relatio·nships. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing." LEFT: Labmin and her friends try out some traditional Taiwan outfits. RIGHT: Lambin and a friend pose for a picture during school.

eeK MzaN It was a match made in heaven. Well , in AP U.S. History. "We both love America and we both love root beer, " said senior Ander Christensen. "It was meant to be. " Last year, Christensen and fellow APUSH classmate Jason Bassett used root beer to spice up their school year. Each Wednesday they would drink a root beer in Mr. Rippe's class and celebrate America in AP U.S. History. It soon became known as Root Beer Wednesday. Bassett and Christensen are surely proud of their 'invention. ' It makes Wednesday "the best day of the school week. " • Somewhere along the line, Dr. Pepper, which owns AW Root Beer, took notice of their obsession. Christensen and Bassett began sending the company photos and videos .of their Wednesday celebrations. The company responded by sending the·guys coupons for free root beer. Christensen now works for Dr. Pepper. "The job is fun and easy, " he said, "and root beer is the quintessential drink of America."

Take the heat of summer, add five stages, mix in 85,000 people, put it all in Manchester, Tennessee, and you 've got one serious road trip. Music festivals have always been a popular roadtrip dream for high -school students. For seniors Rachel Hohlen and Daniel Baquet, attending the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival was a dream come true. "It was the best! " Hohlen said. She could never imagine her'parents letting her go as•a freshman or even as a sophomore, but as a senior, she finally earned that right. Hohlen went to Bonnaroo with Baquet and former East student Greyson Ostrander. "We joked around for some time saying how cool it would be to go and then , all of a sudden , we had tickets," Hohlen said . • Performers included Jay-Z, The Flaming Lips, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Attendees had tough but great choices to make. "The best part was having five stages that were just a 5-minute walk from .each other, said Baquet. "There was also really great food. " Baquet and Hohlen ended up meeting lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, an experience neither will forget. "It was an exhausting four days, but it was probably the best four day I've ever had, " Banquet said.

Adventure: It's Out There Most people expect to find themselves when they go to col lege. East English teacher Scott Gealy, though, had to leave college to have the adven tures he wanted. " I'd always been eager to get out and travel ," he said. " I read books about people finding themselves, and wanted to do the same. " By his junior year, he made the decision to leave college and travel. " I wasn't sure what I was doing. I just hoped for an adventure, " he said. His parents, though didn t share his enthusiasm . "My mom was terrified, " he said. They eventually realized I was adu lt, and cou ld make my own decisions ." A fami liar face and the prom ise of good pay brought Gealy to Ketchikar Alaska, where he worked on commercial fish ing boats. "Our crew worked crazy hours on the fishing boats. We worked anytime it was daylight, " he said. Daylight in Alaska can last anywhere from 24-36 hours, making for some long work days. Two years and two more stops later--including Portland, Oregon , and Taos, New Mexico --Gealy returned to Nebraska Wesleyan to finish his Eng lisr degree. So, is the travel bug still there for Gealy? Gealy reading to his English class.

" Probably not, he said . "It wasn t very idealistic. That's the great th ing about being young though. The th ings you do don t have to be idealistic.

Girls Golf

Winning her second State golf title on a beautiful October day was the highlight ofJackie O'Doherty's senior year. With the help of new Girls Golf coach Brian Bullington, Jackie enjoyed her season more this year than last. "This year was less pressure, but I still wanted to be competitive," she said. That desire to be competitive helped her overcome an earlyseason injury. A torn rib muscle kept Jackie out of tournaments for a most of the season, so she was just able to work on her short game. "For not knowingJackie prior to this season, I was not only impressed with her tremendous talent, but also her ability to handle her injury," said Coach Bullington. The evolution ofJackie from last year to this was her mental toughness. "She was able to block out the pain, as well as the competition," Bullignton said. Jackie found role models this past summer in the UNL Girl's Golf team. That mental toughness and accepting a bad stroke showed Jackie was growing into a mature athlete. Preparing for state, mostly on the road, the team traveled throughout the season. For Jackie, those roadtrips had a real family'feel because her younger sister, Elizabeth, was on the team as well. Elizabeth played an important role in Jackie's success. "Talking helps relax her," said freshman Elizabeth O'Doherty. Hoping to one day prepare for her own state title, Elizabeth laughed and admitted that "we're sometimes competitive. We golf a lot at Firethorn." Both O'Dohertys learned to swing and putt from their dad, David O'Doherty. Both very humble, the O'Dohertys were ready to golf. "As a team we learned to adjust from Jackie's significant injury, our roles changed, and they not only grew as golfers, but as students. It was a great learning experience," said Coach Bullington.

When it comes to high school sports, there can ~any definitions of "success" Maybe success means meeting new people and getting closer to your teammates. Maybe it means working as a team and having good sportsmanship. Or just maybe, it means setting a goal and achieving it. This fall season, East's Varsity Girls Softball team did all three of these. "My favorite part of the season was our game against Southwest. We went into 10 innings and won," said senior center fielder Stacey Herbel. Winning wasn't the only thing that these girls wanted to get out of their season, though. "The thing I'll miss the most is just being with the girls. We make everything fun· -bus rides, pasta feeds, practices, everything," said Herbel. Sophomore right fielder Audrey Beedle agreed that there was more to the season thaA what happened on the field. "Bus rides and pasta feeds are especially fun," she said. And what bus ride would be complete without a theme song? "Alyse (Menghini) always gets a certain song stuck in our head. on a bus ride up and that song sticks with us all day," Beedle recalled. Another thing that stuck with Audrey was playing on a team with her sister, Rikki, a freshman. "It's been interesting," said Audrey. "Being on the same team has made things easier because our practices are at the same time now." Her sister, Rikki, also has enjoyed the experience. "It's been different, but fun," said her sister, Rikki, aJV shortstop. "We've never been on the same team before," said Rikki. For Reserve center fielder lmani Wilson, a freshman, she had never even imagined herself being on a softball team before last summer. "One of the coaches saw me playing basketball this past summer and asked if I would try out for softball in the fall," she said. "I was like 'why not'?" What about other girls who are thinking about giving the sport a swing? Even though East's girls softball teams are young, there is certainly a lot of talent. There will be a lot to watch for in the next few years for these talented ladies. "The main piece of advice I have for younger players is to put in time and effort. Hard work always pays off," said Herbel.

Before switching to defense, the Varsity team huddles around the pitcher's mound.

tennis teams embarked on a road trip that, for some, was unforgettable. Junior number one singles player, Court Clar , finisked his season third in the state. Along with the successful finish, he also gained valuable leadership skills. "I accepted more responsibility this year," he said. "The previous years I was the youngest on the team, and now being one of the older ones. I started to become a leader on the team." Senior Varsity player Jonathan Hermanson also had a leadership role on thi~ year's team. "It was my first year on Varsity, so I tried hard to set a good example for th younger ones on the team," he said. Hermanson also has some advice for the y0unger players at East: "Play all year round." These words come from experience, because durin junior year, he took a break from tennis during the season. Jackson Lauer, the only other senior on the Varsity squad, said that his tennis experiences have become "more competitive" since playing on Reserves as a freshman, th working his way up to the varsity level as a senior. That evolution is a common theme a the team members. Sophomore JV player, Nate Meter, started off his tennis career on Res than working his way up to JV this year. "I drastically improved a lot," Meter said. Meter credits his success to the coaches. He mainly focuses on singles, but can also play doubles on the team as we !ook forward to improving and becoming a better tennis player at East." Meters about what he looks forward to most in the up oming years. •• Freshman varsity player Hunter Dunlap looks forward many thin~ on the team.

We learn from our classmates everyday so it's an environment that people want to work in," said freshman and new Council member, Ben Massey. • Student Council is more of a road trip in which the whole school is invited to come along. It's a ride that starts long before the first day of school in the Fall. "Last Spring we elected our officers and then this summer six Student Council members and I went to a summer leadership workshop to strengthen our council," said council President Annie McKeighan. "Since then, we've been working non-stop to get the events organized and ready for the year." • Planning is no small thing for this group, which sponsored six major events and nine fundraisers this year. And this is not a group of students that settles for what has worked in the past. "Every year we carry on with our traditional events such as Snatraps and Make-A-Wish fundraisers, but each year we add new projects such as singing valentines and HERO." said McKeighan. Each of those events is a road trip in itself and requires someone behind the wheel who is a steady, dependable driver. At East, that driver is Student Council sponsor Michaela Schleicher. "Mrs. Schleicher' s first year was also my first year, and I think we've both grown a lot since then," said McKeighan. "Schleicher' s pretty much the backbone of Student Council and we wouldn't be able to do half the stuff we do without her."

The theme of the year the rise and fall of rome is deminstated troughout the show starting with colorguard members fighting with other band members.

Marching Band

Marching to a d1tterent beat A baritone player, Paul Safarik's musical journey started in fifth grade and has progressed ever since. He is a part of East's 165-member Marching Band. He also has Down Syndrome. Overcoming challenges is difficult for everyone, but Paul is a real inspiration. He doesn't let his disability take away his passion for everything from band to basketball. While his road has had its ups and downs, he just keeps tooting his horn. "He loves music," said his mom, Deborah Safarik. "If he could have every instrument in his bedroom he would be good with that." The success of his Marching Band journey is aboutthe stepping stones he uses to be part of the band. Hard work comes with the territory in this group, but for Safarik and .the rest of the band, the experience is well worth it. "I love the marching and playing so I can jam!" said Safarik. Safarik combines an independent streak with reliance upon his musicai family to keep him on his toes in Marching Band. As a family, they memorize every note and every marching step to help keep alive East's legacy as a marchihg-band powerhouse. "He dt:!monstrates that effort Gan accompli_sh a lot,'"' said Marching Bana Director om Thorpe. Come performance time, that long journey of freezing mornings, rich tradition and the endless repetition of upbeat tempos and formatio,is is worth it as Safarik and his 165 Marching-Band friends inha e for the first note. The sea of students begins chanting: "Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Blue a'iid White." It all makes marching band a priceless experience t~rough the years for Safarik, hitting every step and every note along the way of thjs ever so winding road called life.

JV/ Varsity Cheer

JV Cheerleaders perform at the Homecoming Pep Rally.

Just ask Varsity Cheerleading captain Lainie Jessen, a senior who won the Top All-American Award for the second year in a row at cheer camp last summer. After the camp in Okoboji, Iowa, Jessen was asked to join the staff of the National Cheerleaders Association; truly an honor. "It was a dream come true," said Jessen. "I've always looked up to the NCA staff and the opportunity would be a great way to share my love of cheerleading with other~." The NCA tryout was a road trip in itself. "I have to send in three recomn:1endations and a video with an introduction, jumps, an original cheer that I choreographed, two stunts, and standing and running tumbling," Jessen smiled. "Not too bad." JV Cheerleader Sarni Veys, just a sophomore, also knows how much work it takes to succeed at cheer camp. "My favorite part is the evaluations because East usually does really well," said Veys. East Varsity and JV left camp with several awards. Both teams earned two Technical Excellence awards, the Herkie Tearn award, four spirit sticks and six blue ribbons. Varsity also won the Performance Competition. East also brought home five All-American cheerleaders, including Amsley Senkbeil, Megan Mihulka, Katie Walls,Julianne Ham and Lainie Jessen. In spite of all the work, cheer camp arranged for a little fun for the girls, as well. "I really like all of the extra things we get to do at camp like going to the amusement park and swimming," said Veys. "The girls made me go on my first real roller coaster during camp," said Jessen. "I cried. A lot."

Freshman & Reserve Cheers

For people sitting in the stands, cheering is a group of girls dancing around in little outfits. For freshmen Payton Boyes and sophomore Kourtney Noble, though, cheering is a way of life. Boyes discovered cheerleading thr.ough her brother's babysitter. For Noble, it was her friends' doing. Both cheer at East, as well as with other groups. . Boyes has been in club cheer for three years while Noble has been in competitive cheering with the Cheer and Dance Express since she was in seventh grade. Even though both of these girls have had experience cheering, cheer camp was a whole new experience. "Camp was kind of stressful but it was really fun even though I really didn't know anybody," said Boyes. This is Noble's first year as an East cheerleader. She also swims for East, which keeps her extra busy in the winter. Even with the stress of swimming, she still had a blast growing as a new cheerleader. "I wanted to be supportive of my school so I decided to try it out," said Noble. For both of these girls it is all about the fun and being able to pump up the crowd during football games. They enjoy what they do and they have learned a lot from being on the team.

For the last few years, the Spartan football team has been a work in progress. Junior Aaron Bohl compressed much of that work into a dense season, playing for both the JV and Varsity teams. Playing time in both levels of games proved beneficial to Bohl, who would like to play football in college. After gaining experience in the Varsity le el, though, "JV games seem a lot slower," Bohl said. Bohl, like many other football players, started the program as a freshman, and has moved his way up through the different levels of teams. Playing on all four teams has allowed Bohl to develop friendships with all of the. coaches. "Our coaches have taught me lots of fundamentals and have taught us to play a better game," he said. Those coaches also emphasized off-season training, requiring players to lift weights and condition in the summer. "If you put in the work during the summer, you'll see results in the fall," said Bohl. Football practices and workouts start early in the summer, about a week after school gets out. The players lift weights, run and do drills together to build team unity. The team often goes to a team camp in the summer to play some games and see what they need to improve on. During the school year, practices are everyday, ranging from two to three hours. On top of football practices, athletes must stay on top of school work in order to be eligible to compete. "Ifs a sport that teaches you a lot of leadership and toughness. It teaches you how to bounce back from tough times in your life and come back stronger," said Bohl. "Football teaches you how to be a team player, both on and oWthe field."

Making Gains Football is a sport of teamwork and capability. For some, like Freshman middle linebacker Mike True and Reserve quarterback and safety Brett Nelson, football is practically life itself. True has been playing the game since he first played Midget football in fourth grade. His friends convinced him to try football. Once he got started, he realized that he loves it and plans on playing through high school. Teammates are one of the reasons why. "We all get along," said True. That helps, considering the players are spending most of their time together during the season. Nelson, a sophomore, has been playing ever since he was little. His dad and grandpa were a very big influence on him, considering they both played football on the college level. He enjoyed the progress the team made throughout the season. "The best experience this season would be seeing improvement and making records," said Nelson. Both True and Nelson said their coaches were great. "They know we are new and they don't push us so hard," said True. "They let us ease into it and get used to what we need to do.'' Nelson also appreciated his coaches' role on the team. • "Our coaches are always encouraging," he said. "They are never down on us or pushing us." These guys have enough inner drive that they push themselves, and in football that is a good quality to have.

Finding 'their 'true Colors The Color_Guard after a fantastic half-time performance.

Flag corp is defined as a sport that's a form of dance theatre. Senior Color Guard captai·n Tracey Prentice couldn't agree more. "My favorite part of Color Guard is competing and performing, since I have a background in theatre," Prentice said. Color Guard and the Marching Band work together in competitions, their flags and props creating a more appealing show for the audience. Equally eye catching has been the squad's newest member. As the Color Guard's only male member, sopho~ more Austin Koch said he's really enjoying color guard. "Tracey made me tryout and there are lots of fun people on the squad," said Koch. "Plus, there are a lot of pretty ladies." Koch doesn't want his gender to get in the way of the Color Guard's goals, though. "This isn't about making Color Guard male versus female," he said. "It's about what makes the band look good," said Koch. Healthy relationships all around have made it a good year for the Color Guard and Marching Band alike. "The band actually likes us this year. The leadership has really changed, we are really looking to change the reputation Color Guard has had in the past," said Prentice.

The Voice or the Spartans Some call him the voice of the Spartans. Ask speech coach and football announcer Matt Davis, though, and he'll say he is more the voice of reason than anything else. For a man known for his opinions and his booming voice, the school district expects Davis to "maintain a professional demeanor" in the announcer's booth. That explains the low, monotone "Touchdown Spartans" whenever Davis announces an East score. It's not that he doesn't favor East - he does - it's because the district has him on a tight leash.

"Fourth and about a half mile," is one of Davis' most memorable announcer-booth comments. He still manages to add a little color from time to time, though. "Fourth and about a half mile," is one of his most memorable announcer-booth comments. Another occured when East played Benson and a Benson player was injured. "There's an injured Bunny on the field," Davis announced. In his own high-school days, Davis was quite the jock himself. Weighing in at 155 he was on the football and wrestling teams in high school. Davis almost coached football when he came to East but choose speech instead. Considering all the state championships the speech team has enjoyed, it seems he made the right choice.

. Matt Davis, wondering why the one rainy game this year is the game the coaches wanted to talk to him the coaches were in rain ponchos.

Oh, Yeahl Varsity Volleyball Coach Mike Wiese's second year was a great building year for the girls. "Coach Wiese is really good about making us work together as a team and focus on our own individual goals and what we can do to reach them," said Varsity middle Paige Worley, a junior. For Varsity middle Claire Holmquist, season highlights focused on the players as much as the competition. "We all get along with each other and are goofballs. We feed off of, each other's energy," said Holmquist, a junior. _That energy was evident when East beat Pius, a game both Holmquist and Worley loved. East came back from losing the first two sets to winning the next three. "We worked really well as a team and just went into the match thinking that we had nothing to lose and went all out," said Worley. c Beating a rival was a highlight of the JV season, as well, when the team knocked o~ Southwest. "We focused a lot more during the warm-ups of that game and I guess it all paid off," said freshman JV setter Haley Bucknell. Under JV Coach Sara Newlon, each player .got feedback that helped her play better. Another reason this team clicked is that the girls really enjoyed each other, even on long bus rides. • "They are just like one giant party," said JV middle ~ori Matzke. She said her teammates were easy to get along with off the court, which made it easy to play with them during games. For a successful team, then, the journey is as important as the destination.

One Memorable Journey Every team has a journey, and for East's youngest volleyball players, that journey is always a memorable one. They entered the season playing high-school volleyball for the first time and gave the Spartans a name to be feared. ""The four freshmen on our team contributed a lot to our success," said sophomore Reserve player Emily Linafelter, whose team finished 13-3. Working together and keeping alive their traditions helped the Reserves succeed this season. Before each match, the Spartans shook their opponents' hands, then gathered in a circle in the middle of their side of the court with their right feet in the middle, never their left. They then had a pep talk, ending with the traditional "Spartans Who" cheer. This ritual always pumped up the team. That kind of pride and spirit also was present on the Freshmen Volleyball team. "The season was super fun," said Marit Koszoweski. "We improved a lot." Some of that improvement came on the road. ''We didn't ever go very far out of Lincoln but every time we did we made our mark," she said. The team closed its season in Beatrice, finishing with nine wins. One of the biggest wins came against rival Southwest. "It was a really awesome accomplishment for us," said Koszoweski. Although both teams were serious on the court, off the court they certainly had fun. "Oh, the bus rides are something I'll always remember," laughed Linafelter. "We do the usual girly things like singing to the songs on the radio, braiding each other's hair, and finding a lot to laugh and talk about." Sounds like a journey worth taking.

There is a crucial leadership aspect that comes along with being a senior in both the classroom and on a team. Balancing classwork, colleges and workouts is truly a challenge for student athletes. One such student, Eric Mattson, is a senior who has ran cross country throughout his high school career. "Four years is not a long time so you've got to make the best of it," said Mattson. Mattson began running in 7th grade at Lux Middle School. He is currently on the Junior Varsity team and has grown as both a runner and as an individual throughout cross country. "Running was just one of the things I knew I was going to do," Mattson said. Instead of just becoming a better runner, Mattson said that there were "other forms of maturity that came along with running." While focusing on your individual goals, it is crucial that a senior looks after younger runners. The leadership role that is awarded to a senior in Cross Country gives a runner a sense of importance and leads the team to success. "I would say our biggest accomplishment as a team was both girls and boys taking City," Mattson said. "We have had tremendous success with our Varsity team and we have a very strong upper Junior Varsity team. The runners are the core of the success." After running for East high for four years, Mattson said he's "sad it's over, but I'm proud that I made it all four years. Sticking with it is important because you really gain a sense of accomplishment."

a team.

No Fear Cross Country has always been one of those sports that everyone cringes at. It is difficult to understand why some people decide to go through the torture, yet it is even more appalling whe n you see a senior who has participated for all four years. But to these senior Cross Country run ners, the sport is more than just running. It's about the team and the love of personal competition - it's about running with a purpose. "I loved every race because I had a focus/' said senior runner Skyler Tenopir. "My race was for God." Tenopir began running in middle school when she participated in track, however she never saw herself running Cross Country. "I hated long distances," Tenopir said. "When I ran track, I only did the sprints. I think the only reason I went out for cross country my freshmen year was because my friends dragged me into it!" Little did Tenopir know, she would end up as one of the best runners on the Varsity team.

116

"I started out my freshman year as one of the slowest on the Junior Varsity team," Tenopir stated. "But through the years I worked my way up the ladder. As time passed pressure actually went down because I began to love every second of running the race." Tenopir bettered her time by 10 minutes throughout her four Cross Country seasons - a true success to a runner. Now a senior, Tenopir is known to the Cross Country girls as "mom" for her role of tending to the younger runners. "Coach Skiles called me 'Mother Hen'," Tenopir laughed. "And I love being mom. I guide our prayers before a meet so I can teach the girls that when you run you need to have a focal point and run every race for God." Four years of running Cross Country has certainly shaped Tenopir into an amazing runner. "We are all stronger than we think," sbe • said. "We just need to have the courage to find out what we are capable of."

Skyler Tenopir,Jackie Osenbaugh, Grace laquinta, and Sarah Dweikat step ahead of the competition as the gun goes off.

Sarah Dweikat gives a big kick at the end to finish the race strong.

Homecoming

Rules, defined, are prescribed guides for conduct or action. In other words, something for high-school students to avoid or to break. Judging by the turnout of this year's Homecoming dance, though, rules may not be so bad after all. "I think it's the best dance we've had in years," said Mann, after helping implement a district-wide set of rules to address dirty dancing. In past dances, Mann noticed that people who didn't want to dance inappropriately just wouldn't dance at all. Groups of uncomfortable onlookers would just stand and watch. "I felt so bad for them," Mann said. This year, the high-school associate principals met to establish new dance-floor rules. This was the first year those rules went into affect. East's administrative team approached the new rules with a sense of purpose and humor, donning head lamps at the dance. Mann was very pleased with this year's Homecoming dance. His reasons were that more kids were dancing, the grinding was at a minimum, more tickets were sold than 1h the past, and (bonus!) no kids had to be sent home for inappropriate dancing. Mann was convinced that the new rules wouldn't affect

future ticket sales, saying kids were more happy than unhappy with the new rules. Of course, Mann couldn't get through the whole night without receiving any complaints. "This is so lame," some kids said to him. Given those comments were made when a Miley Cyrus song was playing, they may have been talking about the music, not the rules. After Homecoming, those same students told Mann that they ended up loving the dance. "These kids are having a blast," Mann said, perched on the bleachers, looking down on a dance floor of happy dancers. Although there was a Miley Cyrus song played, Mr. Mann is not at fault. He and a few others worked very hard on putting the playlist together, but every song played was student-requested. Mr. Mann's job was to make sure that every song was appropriate for the dance. :we want a safe place for kids to have fun. Our big Varsity Cheerleaders and Apollonaires play Tug-of-War at the Homecoming hope is that kids just enjoy the dances and just have fun being Pep Rally. it's a win for the cheerleaders! with each other".

Wars

A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, at least according to East High's intramural football teams. Anyone can join, and all it takes to make a team is a group of at least seven students. Then it's time for war. This fall, about 60 warriors from all grades competed once or twice a week in games lasting about 45 minutes. With no required practices or warm-ups, the format is a popular one. This year was Junior Corey Labenz's first time participating in the games with his friends. "It was a great season," Labenz said. "Everyone had a really good time."

Athletes from all sports joined in, whether just for the entertainment, or for staying active between seasons. While Labenz admits his team took the games pretty seriously, for others, it was just "fun competition." The most memorable moment, Lab~nz recalls, was the Hail Mary pass that Senoir Mike Rilett caught from junior quarterbackjack Sunderman, which proved to be the winning catch for his team. "I don't have any least favorite moments from intramurals," Labenz said. "It was fun, entertaining, and competitive."

Not All About the Winning In many ways, Laurie Witters-Churchill is a miracle worker. Beyond the magic she works in her Special-Education classroom, she also happens to be a whiz on the basketball court. " I really like Ms. Churchill," said Special Olympian Sorina Anderson. "She is really nice and I really like working with her." In past basketball seasons, Witters-Churchill had the help of her loving family, but now that her kids are off to college, that help has dwindled away. Now she relies not only on herself but on the team's families, as well. But it is not just the coaches that are working hard. "The players are running up and down the court for an entire ho.L,Jr, and they love it." said Churchill, smiling at Sorina Anderson. Like most athletes, the players enjoy scrimmaging agaiost each otherto sharpen their skills. Those scrimmages have paid

off. "There are some not-so-greats but they all have improved," said Churchill. The team has a loyal following of cheerleaders, teachers, other basketbail players and the Lunch Bunch crew, but there is always r om for more fans of this unique team. "East's team is a very special group not just because we are that cool but because we are one of the few teams that are high-school groups," said Witters-Churchill. "Most of the other teams are from the community." And what does she get out of the experience? "It is not about winning. It is about having fun," she said. - "Yeah, it is great to win--1 myself am a little competitive-but that is not the main reason we're here." Watch one of their games and you'll know exactly what she means.

Musical

Love, music, and man-eating plants. This year's fall mL ~ cal couldn't have been more eccentric. "Little Shop of Horrors' revolves around a flower shop on Skid row, where geeky Sey ( Krelborn (played by junior Jackson Fisher), discovers an odd pl that requires human blood to sur:vive. Along with co-worker A (senior Anna Schoettger), whom Seymour is helplessly in love a,nd flower-shop owner Mushnik (senior Mike Carraher), Seym( ,r is faced with the challenges of new-found fame, love and a murde ,us vegetable. • The cast's road trip to the stage was an exciting yet s times a stressful one. "It was very exciting to be part of the lead, even thougl r you do a bad job, you mess up everything," said Fisher, who ha long history with theatre performances. That past experience n him know how to get ready for this fall's musical. In early preparation for this role, he made sure to mem< ize his lines and the music, along with watching the movie version ~he musical to get a feel of his character and the overall play. "We're very prepared," Fisher said on the day of the o 1ing. "I'm~ little neryous, but it's not that bad." As opening night approached, rehearsals became mor stressful and challenging as the cast started to bring all the elem( ts of the musical together. One of those elements was the lighting, which set the mood and created the atmosphere for the musical. Senior Amy Fischer helped administer the lights this year. "It was the first time I've done it," said Fischer. "The lig g is a big process, and it became progressively more difficult as the musical drew closer." So what did the audience think about the casts' performance that night? Seeing the reaction of various students throu out the school, it is obvious that the play was a great success. "The play was really well done. I'm impressed," junior Al Albers said. From acting to singing to lighting, that long road to op · ing night ended in a successful run for the cast.

Totally Changed If you're an avid Oracle reader, you may have noticed a few changes this year. With a new staff of aspiring journalists, it's no surprise the East newspaper has made a few adjustments. "The Oracle changes with the perspectives of different editors," said Editor-inChief Sam Karas, who helped lead the Oracle's transition to a quarterly, all-color magazine. "Seeing the newspaper from freshman year, it seemed more newsy - only opinion stories," said Karas. "This year, it's a total transformation, and magazine style," she said. Even the content sets this year's Oracle apart from other publications. "The newspaper is based more on the community outside of school, where as the yearbook is defined by the people that make the school," said Karas. As the season change, so do the themes, which ranged from "A Day in

the Life" to "Fighters." Another new element of the class is the online publication. Senior Amsley Senkbeil took on the new role of Online Editor. From posting a "photo of the day" to generating webonly stories and videos, it's a busy job, but one she loves. It's also something she hopes has a long future at East. "I hope that the Oracle still thrives and the online publication isn't put on the back burner," said Senkbeil. With all the hard work put into both the magazine and online pub, its highly unlikely the Oracle won't thrive. The magazine style seems popular this year with more readers excited to read it. Surely it's frustrating for teachers when their students are wrapped up in the new issue. However, that's just a sign that the Oracle is a renovated hit. The new version is here to stay.

When most of us think of swimmi we imagine long summer days, keeping cool and relaxing. But for the East's Gir Swim Team, it's a winter sport--and it's • not for the faint of heart. Senior swim , Sophia laquinta's typical winter day incl two rigorous practices, the first from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., and picking up again for hours after school. All that time toget • has its benefits, though. "There's a closeness this year," sai laquinta. "Even though you swim indivi events, it's all for the team". laquinta made her swimming deb at the age of nine, when she swam for t ~ summer recreational league. When the portunity to swim for East came up fres man year, she rose to the challenge, anc paid off. "Along with coaching, support fro the team, and practices, my technique's Junior Haley Bydalek, hugs her freshman sister, Lauren, bcfore a race.

improved," said laquinta. Along with her hard work, she's been able to successfully "hold up the swimming tradition of East High." Also included in that tradition is diving, a subject junior Katie Walls knows well. Walls first hit the board as a 7 year old, diving for Hillcrest Country C:lub, and has stuck with it ever since. Like laquinta, Walls' techniques have only gotten better during er time on the East team. "I have more time to work with my coach when I struggle,'' Walls said, whose freshmen season included qualifying for State in her second-to-last meet, something she still considers a highlight Also like her teammate laquinta, Walls is grateful for the bonding that takes place on the team. With practices running Mondays through Saturdays, two hours a day, there's certainly plenty of time to bond. As for the future, that's an unanswered question for oth athletes. While laquinta may swim for a university next year, Walls wants to take it one year at a time. "We'll just see how senior year goes," she said.

Diving In For 21 years, East's successful swimming program has had one consistent secret weapon--Coach Greg "Flem" Fleming. "Dude, I love Flem," said senior swimmer Sam Steinberger. "He's awesome and is always cracking jokes." Beyond the fun and games, though, Flem knows how to coach. "He is the perfect balance of fun and discipline." First-year diver DJ. McGerr credits the coach for helping him succeed in a sport that's new to him. "Without Fleming, I would have never became as good as I am now," said the senior diver. It's not often a traditional powerhouse like East gets a newcomer to the sport. "It's kinda weird being the newbie on the team as a senior, but yet at the same time being the oldest," said McGerr. However, he said he has managed to blend in well with the team. "They are so fun to hang out with and we all get along really well," he said. Even the freshmen were stepping up this year, filling some of the spots of swimmers who'd graduated. Freestyler Hayden Pinkman was one of those freshmen who stepped it up. and liked what he found. "I look forward to swimming at East for the next four years," he said.

Junior Isaac laquinta takes of off the starting block during a meet.

No doubt, some of Pinkman's favorite memories in the next four years will be like Steinbeger's and take place outside of the pool "My favorite memory was probably the all-nighter that the mhad before the girls Millard North Invite," said Steinbeger. That combination of fun and success, along with Coach Fleming, may be the real reasons behind East's success in the pool.

The Fast Lana For most people, bowling means a Friday night game with friends. But for a select few Spartans, it's more than just an occasional hobby--it's a competition. Junior bowler Sam Kazda sums up league bowling in one word: "Intense." Kazda's bowling debut was in 5th grade, when her neighbor suggested they start a league of their own. "I started getting really good really fast," said Kazda, "So I've kind of just stuck with it." Dedication is key to league bowling. Practices run Mondays and Wednesdays, with matches on Saturdays and tournaments on Sundays. So, what keeps the bowlers' spirits up, amid all that work? "The adrenaline rush you get during competition," according to Kazda. "I like win ning tournaments." Kazda's biggest game ended with a score of 267. The Spartan Girls rocked at the biggest tournament of the year, getting 3rd at State. Because bowling takes up a large part of Kazda's life, she's glad her best friend Junior bowler Shelby Clark is also the bowling league with her. "I don't have a lot of time for anything but bowling," she said, "But at least she's in it too." For Kazda, the East league is just the beginning. She intends on improving over time and keeping bowling strong in her future. Her ultimate goals include a scholarship to bowl at UNL.

over, Lots ~f people see ice hockey as a dangerous sport, but not sophomore Micah Summerlin. She's been playing since she was in the third grade. "My uncle get my dad and brother into it and then got me into it," she said. The fact that most hockey players are guys didn't stop her love of playing the sport. Her teammates are glad they have a player like her. "It's pretty cool having her on the team," said Hockey teammate Jakob Works. "She is really good at making passes to players and skating with the puck." When other teams face the Spartans, players tend to go right for Summerlin, thinking she might be an easy target. "We have to protect her because they try to get her roughed up and us rilled up," said Works. Summerlin's never gotten hurt, though. "We wear a lot of pads so when we do get hit it doesn't hurt as much," she said. Summerlin really enjoys playing the sport and getting to spend the extra time with her dad, who is also the coach for the East Hockey team. "It makes it a lot easier and we get to spend time with each other ," she said. Even Micah's mom Terri Summerlin was happy for her daughter to play hockey. "I was really excited when she first wanted to play. I thought it would beagreatfitfor her," said Mrs. Summerlin. "Now I get a little nervous about her playing because she is playi11g with some really big guys, but I'm still excited to see her piay." • As for Micah, whatever the conditions on the ice, she will never turn her back; she is always moving forward.

With new faces and new leadership, the Varsity Boy's Bask ball squad adapted to a new game plan this season. Two nail-biting wins helped end a mid-season losing streak for the Spartans. Especially memorable was a last-second basket from senior Spencer Quir that pushed East to a 77-75 victory over the Omaha North Vikings. While the Spartans struggled at times this season, it also had their share of highlights. Senior starter Jon Needels had a career hig~ in East's first win of the season against the North Star Gators. Needels' 29 points helped the Spartans upset North Star 59-51. "lt wasn't all me," said Needels. "Quinn and Newman had 15 offensive rebounds, which gave me opportunities to shoot. It's all about teamwork." Sometimes, teamwork starts at home. Austin Sankey's brother Drew, who graduated in 2009, was a member of the last Spartan squad to make a State tournament appearance. "It was cool to watch my brother play in front of so many people," recalled Sankey. "I hope I get to experience that." One thing that helped some of the Spartans was their exper ence in other sports. A·multiple-sport athlete, Needels believes skills used in one sport are also effective in other sports. "Baseball gives you hand-eye coordination. You have to be shape for football and basketball," he said. "It makes you a better all around athlete, and working hard on the field makes it easier to wor' hard in school." Sophomore JV player Tim Kubert can relate to Needels. Having a key role in the soccer state championship last Spring, Kube feels that basketball and soccer help each other out. "Bigger fields in soccer help you see the court in basketball. Basketball gets you in shape so you're not struggling at the beginnir, of the season," he said. All three players see themselves playing sports in the future. even if it's not basketball. But for now, the boys are focused on the road ahead.

A good attitude is a very good thing. Just ask Fres man Basketball player Tyler Janssen. "I'm not the best player, but I tried out and ended 'f making it," he said. Janssen isn't new to the sport, though. His basketbail experience started six years ago because of his older brothe Austin 's love for the sport. Family also influenced Reserve Ryan Schrad, a fres man whose dad played in high school. Schrad also gained experience playing summer club ball for Club Sting, something he's done for 8 years. Schrad's favorite part of the season was having fun at practice. "It seems that at practice we are always laughing and having fun," he said. Janssen loves the action of the sport. His most vivid memory of this season was the game against Southwest. East was down by eight with less than a minute left in the game. The Spartans came back and won by two. Both players said they love it when fans cheered th{ team on. "It is important to know that there are people out ir the stand," said Schrad. "It makes us feel that we are not ju playing the game for us, but for other people as well. "

Swinging From

Team to Team A freshman athlete's dream often is to simply make a sports team at East - not to make two. Swinging for both the Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball teams was a dream come true for freshmen Sydney Svoboda and lmani Wilson. "I've been playing as ·long as I can remember," said Wilson. So has Svoboda, who started playing YMCA basketball in 2nd grade. Still, it can be be intimidating to play at the high -school level. "At first, I was really scared to play," said Svoboda. Yet, as time moved on, both girls became more comfortable with the older girls and their efforts were valued. As swingers, a night of double headers can get tiring but they have been well trained to handle the stress, thanks to the help of their team-_ mates. "The girls have really stepped up to the challenge of being on two teams," said JV player Sam Sostad, a junior. That effort is appreciated on the Varsity level, as well. "They are doing really amazing and have a great attitude during games and practice," said senior Varsity player Mary Jo Gawrick. Stepping up isn't unique to the younger players, though. Everyone on the teams has stepped up, including swinger sophomore Nicole Raatz. "On Junior Varsity, I'm more of a leader for the girls but I'm still new to Varsity," said Raatz. These two teams shared more than a desire to win this year. They also shared the players who sought to make that happen.

Fast on their reet East Girls Basketball has a lot to look forward to in the years to come. Both the Freshman and Reserve teams put in winning seasons, a sign of good things to come for the program. "Our Freshmen team is undefeated, so it's a pretty cool way to start off our first basketball season at East,'' said Freshman player Rikki Beedle. The Freshman players were excited to bring East so many victories and to define themselves as a team of talent and hard work. Especially memorable were wins against rivals Southwest and North Star. "We love winning, but it's extra exciting when we beat our rivals" said Beedle. Part of a Spartan basketball player's journey is to excel and reach the next level the following year. But getting there isn't always easy. "Almost every day's tryout was three ~nd a half hours long.

It was crazy." said Reserve Briley Moates, a sophomore. Making the Reserve team is only the first step, though. The practices are filled with intensity but that hard work shows in their teamwork. No wonder the Reserv~ team motto is, "Hav the will to prepare to win." Team bonding was important to the girls not just on the court but off it as well. "Our bus rides together are always fun," said sophornor Sydney Novak. "We ride with the boys so they probably think e'r loud and crazy!" Both teams made their own traditions for the years to .) me. They spend every Saturday morning after practice at their favc,rite breakfast joint, Village Inn, and before every home game they 1ave a pasta feed and even celebrated a secret Santa together. These teams demonstrate that perseverance, hard , rk. and team work can lead to a memorable season and a promi 19 future.

Show Choir

Filled with Glee Blame it on the hit show "Glee" if you must, but there's no denying the journey East's Show Choirs are on these days. Senior Ty Wahl started his journey on Express, the Varsity Show Choir, four years ago. As a member of the Freshman Choir, Wahl was askec to join the Show Choir, which was lacking testosterone at the time. The jo. came with many responsibilities, something that appealed to Wahl. "I like being able to have a say in the way things go and the ability ~) motivate everyone," said Wahl. Elegance, the Women's Show Choir, also was motivated this year. Senior Mariah Bopp can atest to that. "I personally hope that we get first in the Women's Division again this year," said Bopp. "The feeling after you get after you perform is one of the best parts so you can just imagine the feeling after you win." Senior Dance Captain Caitlin Phelps, loves all of the feelings that come with Express. When asked what the best part was she just smiled anc paused for a minute before stating that there were so many good things it L hard for her to choose. "If I had to pick it would be all of the close friends I have in the Sho , Choir," she said. "It's so great to have such a tight group of friends who aH share the same interest and love what we do." This year's journey took a new turn when Express was asked to compete in Nationals in Branson, Missouri, for the first time. "We are really looking forward to going to Nationals," said Wahl. "Now all we can do is work on doing better than the day before. The;re's n going backwards for us, only forward," said Wahl. Phelps knows exactly what Wahl is talking about. "I just can't wait to get up ther:e and give it my all and leave everything I hav up on the stage," she said.

groove.

A Jazz_y It all starts in the fifth grade when your music teacher calls you in to try out a bunch of different instruments. There's the flute, the oboe, clarinet, all the usual suspects. East seniors Katie Sell on and Megan Bell both fell in love with the saxophone that year. "I chose the saxophone because my brother played it," said Sellon. "At that time I thought he was cool, so I wanted to be just like him." The love of playing the saxophone encouraged the two girls to try out for East's Jazz Band, an excellent alternative for musicians who want to try a new kind of music. But this is not a group that just anyone can join - you have to be especially talented to make the cut. "My auditioning experience was a little weird," said Bell. "While I was playing, it turned out that the director had the trumpet music in front of him, so he couldn't tell if I was

hitting the notes right or not." With a shortage of saxophone players, Sellon did not have to audition. "I'm really glad I decided to join, though," said Sellon. "Megan is one of my best friends, and it's fun to be able to play with her." Jazz Band is not all fun and games, though. The students in the band work very hard. "Sometimes it's time consuming, with the practices and everything," said Bell. "We have two competitions at UNO and KU in February alone." Despite all the work, both girls are glad a decision they made in fifth grade is still a good one. "If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing," said Sellon.

Snatraps

SNATRAPS 2011

Mash-ups, piano-jamming, clogging, and poetry slamming. This year's Snatrap.s was nothing short of unbelievable, as the spotlight shown on the Spartans for the annual talent show. Junior Shae Brening had a chance to show off her vocal skills in her mash-up of "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul and "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera. "It's neat when you find really cool songs and combine them in a mash-up." Brening said. lt wasn't the mash up so much as it was family tradition that brought Brening to the Snatraps stage this year. "My sister has been a part of Snatraps before, so I thought it'd be a good idea try it out this year." Thanks to plenty of practices, Brening had a good attitude going into the show. "I'm not really nervous," Brening said the day before the talent show. " I've performed in front of audiences before. But if I mess up, I know my friends are out there for me." In some groups, friends took the stage together, supporting each other as part of an act. Junior Eajan Hsu played the violin for fellow juniors Kate Janike, Sunny Davis, and Brittany Gondringer as they sang their version of "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri. The 2011 SNATRAPS MC's, junior Jae~ Sunderman "Kate asked me to play for their song," said and senior Connor Cullighan entertain the crowd Hsu, "so I thought it'd a good opportunity to show wi th slam poetry in between acts. everyone what the music department can bring to the table." Despite all the practices, playir;ig her instrument turned out to be a challenging role to play. "The song doesn't actually have a violin part in the original," Hsu said. "I kind of had to make it up to fit it." Everything fell into place for the talent show, which drew a packed house. "There was a lot of musical talent out there," said sophomore audience member Conner Dwinell said. "I wasn't aware of the skills students have here at East, so it was really cool to see that part of them for a change."

Every year is full of changes and this year was no exception. This year's yearbook staff has found every Spartan student's story through the unforgettable years of 2010-2011. With only three returnees, Yearbook was filled with new faces and lots of learning curves. "We picked up r,)any new travelers this year," said Yearbook adviser Jane Holt. With almost an entirely new staff, the making of the yearbook was a fun experience. Following the staff's first deadline, staff newcomers gained confidence to help them capture each students' journey. "It's really cool because you feel like you're involved in all the school's activities. You get to put in all of your hard work and publish it for everyone," said senior Taylor Ficek. Like all yearbook classes, the journey begins the previous year when students applied for the Yearbook Staff. Applicants are asked to suggest an original theme that would tie into the yearbook. "They have to give us some original theme ideas, and once we came across the journey theme we just knew it was the perfect fit," said senior Yearbook Editor Sara Lipson. The theme of a journey fit perfectly into a yearbook: everyone has a story to tell and along with a story is the beginning of the trip, the road blocks to overcome and, of course, the final destination. "Seeing the journey that each student has taken really makes the story of the school year come to life," said Lipson.

(No) Strings Attao e For most of us, third grade is just like any other year in elementary school. But for senior Darrin Um, it marked the start of his development as a musician. His instrument of choice? "I picked the violin," Lim said, "because that's what everyone else chose back in elementary school." Although violin has been a consistent component of his life ever since, his style of play has evolved. "Ten years is a long time to be playing," Lim said, "So I've been able to refine my technique with practice and hard work." Practicing occurs around once or twice a week for a couple of hours. Although it's grueling work improving his skills, the end result is well worth it. "Practicing takes quit a bit of concentration," said Lim, "It becomes very tiring after a while, but my favorite part of violin is when I finally get everything down perfect." That's not the only aspect of playing for East orchestra. For seven years now, Lim has worked on his violin talent with Orchestra instructor Mr. Whitman. According to Lim, "Whitman is a very silly person. Sometimes he'll say the wrong words when he's trying to talk. He does strange things a lot, but it makes it all pretty fun." As a senior this year at East, Lim is starting"to map out his plans on what he wants after high school. "I don't think I'm going to do any particular musicrelated past-times," Said Lim. "But I think I'll stick with playing the violin."

Gone with the · Winds

Seniors Renee Donner and Abby Newhouse play clarinet at a Wind Ensemble practice.

Alto saxophone: $250.00. Members: 33. Audition time: 7 minutes. Inside jokes: priceless. . East students are well aware of the school's elite Marching Band but few know much about the equally prestigious Wind Ensemble. It's a collection of some of East's most talented musicians, many of whom play for the Marching Band as well. "Wind ensemble gives you the chance to focus on your music in a smaller group," said senior Tuba player, Cabe Harwood. He said the two groups have different focuses, as well. "Marching Band is playing to be heard whereas Wind Ensemble lets you see the dynamics of music," he said. Another difference is that students have to try out to be in Wind Ensemble. "In Wind Ensemble you have a tryout, and you're given harder music," said alto saxophonist Lindy Pearson, a sophomore. The friendships built in the band room are ones that can't be easily broken. Whether it's assembling your instrument everyday, or sitting next to your favorite section leader, these musicians know how to make light of these repetitive practices. . "What I like most about Wind Ensemble is the people," said junior Alto Sax, Miranda Karsting. "It's really exciting to play with people who love playing music as much as you do." This small group of musicians focus intensely on their music but also manage to find the time for some inside jokes. But as any band student at East knows, what's said in the band room stays in the band room. Story: Rachel Didii.r & Cassie Swartz Photos: Laurel Woodring Layout: McKenna Parris
