History, Impact, Spirit

This is how we connect to the past

Established in 1955! That is when Lincoln Southeast changed history forever When Principal Brent Toalson finished high school at Southeast in 1982, when the grade levels on ly ranged from 10th-12th. Some of the things he did to show Kni ght Pride when he went here was part icipating in school act iviti es and even s.

Toalson now says, "For me, Southeast has always had really strong school spirit; we are into supporting our fellow classmates .·

Toalson then started teaching Social Studies from 1991-2007 and was also a Student Council sponsor. Toalson said, "I think students show Kni ght Pride ever yda y when they are respectful to one another and make the school safe to wh ere students fee l comfortab le and safe at school ."

"I bleed Black and Gold!" said Er ik Witt, the Associate Principal of Southeast High School He has been a Knight since he beg inning ; he w ent to Southeast from 1994-1997, coached football here from 2001-2003, and has been serving as an Associate Principal since 2005. He sa id some of the w a ys he showed Southeast spirit was by dressing up and go in g to spor ing events and supporting friends. He w as on a "OF A · type of organ izat ion but they were not offic ial, Witt says, "I think when I was in school, going to schoo l activ iti es w as the thing to do not be on social media all the time, we went to hang out with friends for Friday night football games."

When LSE was the College Vi e w Academy and wh en they w ere picking the colors the students came up with "The Bruisers " and the colors were go ing o be black and blue. Dr Hazel made the decisi on that it was a lit.ti e irrati onal and she came up with he colors gold and black instead. The Mascot who w as named after the coach who really helped shape the athletics at LSE; W a lli e McNaught-which is how w e got our nickname for our mascot, W a lli e Mcknigh

' Showing up, going to classes, w or kin g to the best of their ab ili ty, also contr ibut ing to the LSE commun ity as a whol e, because w e be li eve our goal isn't jus help ing students graduate, it's helping them to become better people," said Witt.

Us Knights we strive to be leaders said Moses Sorilla 12. According o Sor"lla going o school act ivities and supporting teams! Sor"lla shows school spiri by participat"ng in things like spir i Vvee For instance, Sorilla wore short-shorts for USA day , and dressed up all the other days for spirit week . Being respectful 1s one of the many ways Sor ilia says he shows school spir it everyday ' It is important to shoVv school spiri because it connects us as a huge body we come together to show spir it,'

#Knight Pride

Students come together to cheer on the athletes of Southeast

"And thats another Southeast .FIRST DOWN!! The Lincoln Southeast student section, also known as the OF A or Dedicated Fan Association , chants and cheers for the fall sports for the 2015-2016 school year.

"The OF A is mainly made up of any of the seniors who want to be involved but we like to have the whole school incorporated: says president of the DFA Luke Johnson (12).

The student section is full of students who are their supporting their fellow classmates.

We try to be involved with all of the sports , but it can be really hard with students schedules, so we try to mainly get to all of the big ones like the football games volleyball games, and basketball games. But we have quite a few people that go to the other events. We try to go to as much as we can , The OF A co-president Sam Pollock (12) , informs about what the DFA is involved in.

The OF A is backed by the staff and administration of Southeast, but is also sponsored by Director of Basketball Operations, Jared Jansen.

"He helps us get things approved, and he gets a lot of our activities set up II states Johnson.

As many people may know LSE is big on tradition. Pollock told a little about what traditions that the DFA

keeps up with.

"We run flags out at the football games, the tarp is a huge tradition, and our first (football) game of the year is usually a blackout to whiteout II said Johnson.

The tarp has been a big tradition at Lincoln Southeast. It started out as a big black tarp that the senior OF A members would paint before the games and events.

This year is the first year that Lincoln Southeast bought a new tarp that will not be re-painted for the games.

Keeping up with tradition may not always be the most interesting thing to do, but like Johnson said, 11 You just cant mess with tradition ."

Make sure you are on the lookout for the Lincoln Southeast OF A all year long! I don 't think you 'll miss 'em. They 're the ones thatll be at all the events loud and proud supporting all of their friends and classmates during the 2015-16 fall, winter and spring sports.

New Technology

Chromebooks come together with The Career Academy

No need to worry about all of those papers and textbooks. Next school year every student will get a Chromebook for the whole school year. The students and staff are excited, and a little nervous about what to expect.

The one question every student is asking is, will having

Chromebooks lessen the amount of stuff in my backpack? You would think the answer is yes but only time will tell if having Chromebooks really will. Already there are a lot of math, foreign language etc. textbooks which can have online access to , via your teacher.

"Some good things that will come out of getting Chromebooks would be that students will get more adapt to technology and gives teachers a chance to branch out and do new activities ," explained Emily Cole (11)_

Cole was in The Career Academy (TCA) and all students got Chromebooks. Cole talked about how a lot of their assignments are turned in through google classroom , but she knows that there are some students who would rather have their assignments turned in on paper.

"My guess is that they will be used more for learning because from what I know my friend goes to Zoo School and has a Chromebook and LPS already restricts it quite a bit. So there wouldn't be much opportunity for students to be distracted by the laptops," said Carter Svehla (9).

Svehla explained that some of the good things about getting

Is it Charged?

Cas ey Kingsley (10), in Mrs.Kellision's seventh period World History class said, ·1 think that students using th e Chromebooks will use them for learning and I think that most of the students will be focused in class when using them."

Chromebooks is that students backpacks wouldn 't be as bulky and heavy. Students also wouldn't need to use their lockers as much giving students more time to get to classes.

To me there are too many 'What-ifs ' about computers that you can name. What if your Chromebook breaks all of a sudden. What will you do at home if you're having trouble with your

_ Chromebook explained Casey Kingsley (10).

Kingsley is in Mrs. Kellison's World History class , and had a chance to try out the Chromebooks this year. Kingsley talked about how she thinks that LPS is giving school Chromebooks is to have the district become more modern.

Kingsley went on to explain "I think it will be easier for students to plagiarize since everyone will have access to computers. "

This school year some of the teachers in the building are getting a class set of Chromebooks to test out some things that would work for their dos; and cur;iculum.

Some of the teachers who are testing them out include: Mrs. Danielson, Mr. Nebel Mrs. Kellison Mrs. Gehr , Mrs. Kruger Mrs. Van Zandt , and Mrs. Tangen. This meant that students will also get a little taste into what some of the expectations will be with getting Chromebooks.

Trends and S1yles

Lincoln Southeast might as well be a fashion show with everything hats new hip in, or trendy We all have that •what 1s that moment with fashion.

Do you really know whats in? If I asked you if you knew what jorts were would you say Oh yeah, jean shorts like Drew Stream 9)?

Or would your answer be more like Kamryn Medbery (l ll-" Are they some type of shoes?

Sometimes that answer may not always be correct. This years fashion trends confuse a lot of people

One student Jack Bunde (9) was left puzzled when he found out that Chacos were not in fad •chocola e tacos but a funky hipster shoe the a lot of people wear for comfort.

Many different fashion trends in America you wouldn t see in other countries or vise versa. When talking with one of our foreign exchange studen s Ayumi Ishikawa ll) I discovered that Croes are a huge hit ·n Japan. I also was informed tho the Birkenstocks you see

What are those.

I I

on everyones feet "only shoes that you would see on old men in Japan said Ishikawa.

Here it is a very simple fashion and comfy In Japan people wear tights and skirts and fashionable dresses all year round. The nice dresses for homecoming and prom are dresses that you could buy in Japan, but there 1s no place or event to ever wear hem besides a wedding • Ishikawa explained.

Its not surprising o find out how much female students know about male fashion , bur not many male students know about female fashion.

When seeing if some boys know what a T-shir dress was their answers were pretty spot on. Will Stacy (12) was bewildered when. the idea ~f a t-shirt dress was a thing. Is tho what the whole long shirts covering the shorts is? Stacy asked.

Not all females are a fan of the shirt over the shorts look. Emily Iverson (l l) describes it as a college girl look.

Students at Southeast have the hottest kicks, whether its the all so popular Vans to the amazing seasonal shoes like the very in-style Chacos Bir ens oc s. or yoga sandals.

Devon Coulson (12) describes these fun styles as ·shabby· as she spar s her trendy socks hat add an extra kick to her kicks.

(Below) Comfy Hipster. Emily lverson's (11) unique fashion sets her apart from others, describing her fashion as individualized. She also expands on the idea of how people should be able to wear what they want when they want. 'They shouldn't have to worry about what everyone is wearing; be yourself,' said Iverson.

Hair and Now

Southeast students show this year's hair trends

The party knot and the party pony seem to have been the hair trend for females this year.

Abby Hall (lO) describes the party pony as "Putting your hair in a half ponytail at the crown of your head. "

While the party knot is similar, positioning a bun in the middle of the back of your head, but only putting it half up.

"It's cute and simple, not boring and different from any other hairstyle out there. " Lizzy Lavin (10) explains her reasoning for wearing the party knot and why she believes it's a hair trend.

Both Hall and Lavin have gotten inspiration from social media sites such as Pinterest and have seen it in women 's fashion magazines Hall recalls, "I'm pretty sure I' ve seen one of the Kardashians wear it. "

Lavin theorized , "It (the

party knot) will last because it's so simple and unique. " While Hall argues, "The party pony will stay, but the knot will not. " The party knot may be on the more trendy and shorter lasting side than the party knot.

Both hairstyles have been seen around the school this year. Lavin and Hall both disclose that they see at least a range from five to fifteen individuals wearing it throughout the halls. Whether you wear the party knot or party bun, we have seen it pop up frequently throughout the year. The two hair trends are very prevalent to this school year.

Ale x Bruner (12) swears by his long hair, man braid, and man bun, "Hecks yea! It's going to last until I go bald! " he e xclaims.

Bruner has been sporting his long hair and bold hairstyles for as long as he can remember.

This past year , there has been a new trend in hairstyle for guys. The trends include the man bun, the many pony, and simply long hair, popularly referred to as "the flow. "

To further explain these hairstyles, the man bun is simply a bun, but for guys who have longer hair Similarly, the man braid works the same.

Some people ask where this hair trend started. Bruner declares, "I started it. I was the original OG. of long hair."

On the other hand, we see the long hair hairstyle in movies like "Thor · worn by Thor himself. Other male celebrities who have longer hair include Jared Leto !actor), and Zlatan lbrahimovie (Swedish soccer player )

The man bun and man bra id is worn for various reasons, whether its for style or for other purposes

Bruner claims he wears the man bra id for football games

"so my hair doesn 't get tangled in my helmet. "

Ja x Vanek (l ]), another avid man bun and long hair sporter disclosed that he wears the man bun "basically every day ." He likes his long hair and feels confident about it because he "gets good feedback. "

There are other male students at Southeast who contribute to the trend. Some of these students are Brock Olson (l 2 ), Devon McClain (11 ), Jordan Pond (12 ), and many other faces around the school.

When questioned whether the man bun, man braid, and/ or long hair for guys is a trend and a lasting trend, both Bruner and Vanek say yes.

Bruner states, "You gotta keep the hippie ages coming through still. Gotta keep it alive. " and Vanek assured, "People will always grow their hair out ."

On the opposing end we interviewed Syrus Bomberger (12), who formerly had long hair. He argues, "The trend will not last and will most likely go away ."

So, whether you approve, believe, or wear these male ha ir trends, we can see them everywhere at our school.

Triple Threat

Multiples cross paths at Southeast

Southeast High School has always been unique. In the senior class alone we have four sets of triplets: The Brittenhams: Abby Noah and Michael; The Dicksons: Brady , Jake , and Cody· The Stacys: Will Ben and Jack; and the Johnsons: Sierra Ian , and Riley.

In the 2013 Shield Yearbook, a story covered the four sets of triplets in the freshmen class. Now , as seniors the triplets are focused on the memories of senior year , and the future after high school.

"I feel like we almost hang out more with each other now that we re seniors than when we were freshmen. I feel like when we were freshmen we were trying harder to get away from each other " Ben Stacy (12) stated, when asked to reflect on how he and his brot~ers, Will and Jack compare to their younger selves.

While there may have been some changes from freshman to senior year some things don't change. Noah and Michael Brittenham (12) proved they are more alike than they admit by supplying almost identical answers. When asked what's unique about being a triplet at LSE , Michael said, "Nothing really , because there 's four sets. " Noah echoed "Well there 's four sets. "

(Right) Why so ser ious? The Stacys, (L to R), Ben,Jack, and Will, (12) mean business for their senior pictures. The Stacys haven't spent a lot of time together

Going to school with two other siblings makes it just a matter c time until you have class together. Ive had classes with Riley I like i because we help each other later on," Sierra said (l 2).

The last time the Stacys all had class was kindergarten whi le th Brittenhams experienced class together for the first time this year. First semester all three were in the same Pop Culture class.

As seniors the triplets are looking toward to after graduation. Each senior plans on going to college , but where they end up is unique to each one.

"We plan on bowling in college. Me and Riley may stick together but Ian might not bowl because he wants to focus on teer stuff " Sierra said.

For the other triplets the future is a little less clear but still exciting. "We II probably go to different colleges so I obviously won see them as much. It'll probably be w~ird because I've seen them everyday since I was little. We 'll all go to college I don t know where yet but we II figure it out " Ben Stacy said.

Three Times the Char·m

Southeast has its very own newspaper stars.

Before their first day of kindergarten the Britten hams were featured in the Lincoln Journal Star. This fall, before their last first day of school, a follow up article was written about the triplets beginning their senior year.

The article compared the now seniors to their kindergarten selves. Some things had changed (Michael doesn't wear Yu-Gi-Oh shirts anymore) but the triplets still do tease each other.

The special article reminds Southeast how lucky we are to have so many multiples.

GO (to college) KNIGHTS

Southeast students meet college campuses

Every year juniors and seniors across the nation take time to visit colleges and see what they have to offer. Every person goes in expecting something new, but walks out with a different perspective of the school.

Morgan Heil !12) has visited two colleges , UNL and Kansas State. She goes on the visits for the free meal and to get all of her questions answered.

While a visit to a campus it is stressful for some, Heil said, "My only worry is that I will forget to ask a question and make it home and then remember what I wanted to ask. "

The campus visits are about the school showing all of the facilities it has the programs it offers and prove why they should stand out more than the other schools.

Corbyn Westphal (l]) also has been on two visits. He has gone to see UNL and Nebraska Wesleyan. He would like to play football in college if he can get a scholarship in addition to getting a degree in Geology.

When looking at a school, he likes to tour campus, eat a meal, meet people that go and teach there and look at the sport programs and meet coaches.

Some people would like to go to college near home so they can go home on the weekends to do laundry or just see their parents but other kids want to go way far away from where they live because they like the feeling of independence.

From High school To College

Knights travel beyond Nebraska after High School

For many, college seems to be an obvious choice after high school, with college-bound seniors scattering throughout the country in pursuit of a higher education in various fields , with some staying close to home and other stretching far and wide throughout the country.

One student who is travelling out of state for school is Nerissa Moravec (12).

''I'm going to the University of Central Florida to play volleyball and to learn and continue my academic journey," she said.

Maddie Whitehead (12) is another student going out of state, but is staying much closer to home, going to Kansas State where she will be studying marketing.

"I chose to go out of state because I wanted to do something different and get a different perspective," Whitehead explained.

Caitlynn Croner (12) is someone who opted to instead stay in-state in order to be closer to family and friends , and decided to go to ebraska Wesleyan.

"I really like that its a smaller , close-knit school ," Croner said.

Sam Morris (12) is planning on playing Basketball at The University of ebraska Kearney and studying science.

Its far enough where I can be on my own but close enough so I can stay with my family • reported Morris.

While some students are simply going for academic interests a good porhon of students are also parhcipahng in sports and other activities at their college. Morris who

is playing basketball at UNK and Croner, who is going to cheer for Wesleyan, as well as Moravec, who is going to play volleyball at UCF are all students participating in athletics in college.

Moravec says that she 's excited "to just continue to be able to play a sport that I love at a high level and meet new people," as well as ' getting to travel around the country with my teammates , and to different countries too. "

Whatever it is that students are planning to do with their college career , there are many paths open to them and each one holds a different story.

Heart to Serve

Athletic training intersects with athletics

Its easily 45 to 50 hours a week for me during the fall. " says Julie Buck, head athletic trainer , "On the average day either Spencer or I come in for lunch hour treatments starting at 11:30 am, we email coaches about injured athletes, get coolers ready for the games, call parents, email parents. At 2:10 pm injured student athletes start coming in for treatment. Around 3:00 pm we get really busy with treatments before practice, and again after practice. So much of what we do is ed cation on exercising, how to take care of yourself and rehab ," informs Buck.

Our athletic training staff this year consists of seven student athletic traine rs: Katie Squier (11), Alexis Sandman (10), Katlyn Miller (10), Terri Ann Isaacson (11), Victoria Molina (11), Harrison Hall (9), and Devon Coulson (12). There are two full time athletic trainers: Julie Buck, and Spencer Fetch.

Buck has been Southeast's head athletic trainer for 27 years, as of the 2015 fall football season. For the first time in history, we 've added a second full time athletic trainer this year Spencer Fetch.

"We're able to treat way more athletes now that we have

( Right) Super Woman! Ju lie Buck looks on at vars ity footba ll pract ice ready to treat any i nj ur ies that may occur. So much of what w e do is, education on ex ercising, how to take care of yourself and rehab,· said Buck

two full time athletic trainers," Buck claims.

The Lincoln Southeast athletic training room is in use all year round by our student athletes. The fall sports season is the busiest for the athletic trainers.

"In the month of September we were seeing 50 to 60 student athletes during lunch a day and we were totaling 140 to 160 a day " Buck explains.

The most common treatment for athletes are ice bags after practice. The majority of the materials used to treat student athletes are reused. They spend $5,000 to $6,000 a year on treatment materials, this includes different types of tape, bandages, cups, bags, paper towels etc.

Student athletic trainers are required to serve 10 hours a week in order to receive an athletic training letter at the end of the year. The minimum of 10 hours is easily exceeded for Squier , "Last tear I w9uld spend 15 to 20 hours a week working in athletic training. "

Squier has planned her whole schedule around athletic training and plans on attending Nebraska Wesleyan University or University of Nebraska Lincoln for athletic training in her future

Election Knight

Academics and politics come together

As the new year approaches and the 2016 presidential e lections approach, the students at Lincoln Southeast have began to voice their own opinions on the candidates running this year.

The outsider politicians running are skyrocketing the polls because people want someone other than an establishment politician. They want someone different," exclaimed Dallas Jones Jr. (11).

And different is what we are getting. We have Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump , Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorino, and Sen. Bernie Sanders are just a few of the more well-known candidates in the polls.

Some of the seniors this year will be getting the chance to register to vote, so they will be able to partake in voting during the 2016 election.

Adam Riley (12) talks about his thoughts on seniors voting , "Well first off, I don't think we should even be old enough to vote. We go from asking if we can go to the bathroom, to choosing who 's going to lead us. "

Meanwhile, Jones' response came from a different point of view. "Every vote does count. Your vote could be the deciding factor, and your vote counts 60% more for every person that doesn 't vote: said Jones.

"I am going to register to vote right when I turn 18, because I'm very passionate about politics and choosing who will be the best for our country ," said Emily Johnson (12) as she talks about her strong interest in politics.

Students at Lincoln Southeast have differing views on the student populations education on the elections and the candidates

Johnson said, "To some extent we have talked about the elections, yes, in Government and Politics we talk about current

events every Friday, so we talk about who 's polling the most ."

Riley didn 't have much to say when asked, "Umm, sort of. We 've talked a lot about what's his face Oh yeah, Donald Trump. "

"Whats his face " seems to be the most talked about thus far intc the election process. Everyone always has something to say about Trump 's ideas about illegal immigrants and his containment theories.

Jones had quite a bit to say about Trump and his plans for his presidency, "His ideas of containment are a little bit interesting. He 's an interesting guy I think , Donald Trump likes to state the overview c what he wants to do, but he doesn't get into why he wants to do it. You'II kinda have to vote for Trump to know what he 's actually gains; to do."

Riley and Johnson were on the same page about what they thought of Trump and his presidential plans. "I feel like his ideas are way too e xtreme ," said Riley.

Johnson brought up how she thinks his plans are not very serious. "I think he's turning it into a reality show, and he 's just doing it to be loud," continued Riley.

Many people have different views about the election and who is running this year Johnson brought up her thoughts on whether teachers should be discussing more about what is happening

"I think theres a thin line between educating us and putting their beliefs upon us. It's important for them to give us all of the perspectives, but in an unbiased way ," explained Johnson.

It will be interesting to see what is going to happen with all of this when the 2016 elections roll around. We may not know what is going to happen, but the students at Southeast will make sure that their voices and vot es will be heard.

Like Johnson said "I think I need to do my part and support. "

Fire in the Hole

Girls ' golf comes together as team, plays as individuals

With two state qualifiers this year , it's hard to overlook the individuals that make up Southeast girls' golf. This fall, Maddie Whitehead (12) and Brooke Romjue (12) traveled to North Platte to represent Southeast in the State Tournament.

Girls ' golf came a long way in the few short months that made up their season.

"There were a lot of girls who had never played golf before and they made their way up to the higher ranks of JV, and they kept with it," said Katie Whitehead, (9) who worked her way from JV to Varsity.

' I performed really well at one tournament, and placed 2nd place out of 11 schools--which was a big accomplishment ," Maddie Whitehead (12) recalled one of her proudest moments in the last season.

But the improvements didn 't come without some struggles.

"The hardest part is getting your swing down correctly, because it takes forever ," Miriya Pinkerman (_9) added.

"The sport itself, it's pretty frustrating ," Katie said.

Maddie added, "The hardest part is mental game. You have to keep yourself calm after a rough hole, and if you do that, you can rebound. "

"You can 't blame other people for what you shoot and how you score. Which is nice because you can work on yourself ," Maddie said. The girls grew individually but supported each other as a team.

Now the girls vieV:, their team as close friends.

Pinkerman said, "I think we 've grown closer and that we 're better friends now. "

The friendships created by the team came as a great surprise to Katie, too. "The coaches are super nice and they really help you, and everyone on the team is just super nice. "

Pinkerman has two favorite memories that • she recalled, "I got a 106 on an 18-hole. During our last tournament , we made a pyramid which is fun. "

The memories that resulted from the past season reflect the team 's growth as individuals and as a team.

(Far Right) Fore ! Abby Peterson (10) tees off as her teammates look on. The team bonded during their many hours traveling to different courses. "All the girls are really nice, and it goes by a lot faster than you think it will,· said Katie Wh it ehead (9).

(Right) Focus! Makayla Crawford (10) eyes her ball as she puts it into the hole. JV golf played in several tournaments this season.

"You have to keep yourself calm after a rough whole, and if you do that, you can rebound,· says Maddie Whitehead (12).

The Grit Iron

Knights encounter tough opponents

While this year hasn 't been the best for the Varsity Football team , that doesn 't mean that it's been all bad. The team has also had some really great moments, and has stayed positive despite the hardships this season

"We kept working hard in practice, and still made it fun despite not getting the outcome we wanted, " said Brady Dickson (12).

As a result of their hard work during practice, the team has had several really great moments. During the third quarter of the Southwest game, Martiez Prather (12) ran possibly the best play of the season.

'We played Southwest and I had an 85-yard kick return for a touchdown. It felt good because we were down by a field goal, and it put us up by four ," Prather explained.

With such an outstanding play in the first game, it can be hard for others to compare. However, there definitely were other e xcellent plays this season , particularly on defense

"I was playing defense and it was against East, I had a really good hit on a running back I saw a gap open, and just shot the gap and went for it," said Grady Greenwood (lll.

"In our North Platte game, our defense pulled in for a clutch and stopped North Platte's offensive, and, it won us the game," Greenwood also recalled.

Despite the difficulties faced by the Varsity Football team this year, they used it as a chance to improve for the year to come.

Crossing Paths

Successful season for Lady Knights

When you think about Girls Cross Country your mind might snap to groups of girls running next to the roads after school or following a white line through trees but there is much more to Girls Cross Country.

For each person the ideal day for a PR (personal record) is different. For Nora Furr (10), she runs better if there isn 't a lot of wind, the temperature is in the 60's and the sun is not out

For the hour or so leading up to the start of the race you will catch people doing an old ritual to get them mentally focused before a race.

Natalie Reed (]O) spends the moments leading up to the gun going off listening to music and talking about the course, other teams and strategy with teammates.

Some people take more extreme measures to ensure they will drop time like Elsa Forsberg (12) who wears the same socks to every meet "I wear the same socks but I wash them " said Forsberg.

While running or preparing to run the 3.1 mile races it might be easy for people to lose their focus one way or another.

"While I am running a race it breaks my focus to look at the ground, said Allie

(Right) Go for gold! Elsa Forsberg (12) receives a medal at the award ceremonies after running in the State meet. Forsberg placed 4th over all on the girl's side.

Rauner (lll. In the last season she has run in five meets and dropped a minute off of her time.

Each person running has a personal favorite course either for the lay of the race route or the scenery. Running that course might help them focus on the race or just put their mind at ease as they run to beat their time.

"My favorite course is Walnut Grove in Omaha ," said Furr, "There is more sKade along the way and I like going out of Lincoln for meets. "

The Lady Knights had a very successful season with the team finishing 4th in Districts and on the individual level Forsberg placed 4th in the State meet.

"I used to run the mile in gym class and decided that I wanted to try cross country ," said Forsberg.

The returning runners for next· season are more than excited to get back to work. Even if it means saying goodbye to some of the senior runners that they have looked up to.

Reloaded

From Prash to PBA

The season was full of ups and downs. Many outsiders thought the season was going to be a "rebuilding season ," but no one on the Varsity volleyball team thought of it that way. They thought it as a new season with many things to improve on and to learn from.

This year they tried some new things, they watched film for the first time and tried a new defense. Most of the team thinks that the new things that they are implementing into their game has helped them with winning and improving on their personal game and skills.

"We 've only watched film once this year. We only watch film if we've played the same team already, and we watch them to see which shots are open and what we can improve on ," explained Jocelyn Anderson (12).

As expected everyone wants to make state and win , but to get to State you have to do well in Districts. To prepare for Districts, Varsity has been watching film , doing a new defense, working on blocking, etc.

"We are doing a lot of defensive stuff, working on blocking and hitting, and working on our connection with our setters so we can be ready ," said Melanie Brecka (10)

The support of the student body is very important to the success of Varsity. The team thrives on energy and loves when people come to support and watch them. When students come to support their fellow classmates they are doing so much, they are making the team want to win. Even if a student comes and doesn 't think that the team doesn 't notice, they are wrong.

"It helps a lot when people come to support us, and it sucks when

people decide to go to another sport because volleyball is the best girls sport there is. We need to have a great environment in order to play to win. We feed off the energy of the crowd and it helps c lot, and when no one is there it hurts and there 's no energy. " explained Jocelyn Anderson (12).

"I like it It's nice to see support from other people at school. " said Elizabeth Gifford (12)

"I don 't like playing in a really quiet gym I like it when it's loud. Your adrenaline gets going , and then it makes it more fun. " said Alaetra Long (lll.

Love At First Spike

JV, Reserve, and Freshman Volleyball Teams Converge

In fall 2015 of this school year the Freshmen, Reserve, and JV volleyball teams had been hard at work preparing for every game of the season This past year 's season, they had teams that intersected together to form strong and special qualities

A specia l th ing about our volleyball team is, "The e xperience of being apart of something and the bond we have," e xplains Gabrielle Lacher (JO) from the Reserve team Lauren Reis (9 ) from the Freshman team says that shes never been on a team before where, "Everybody just helps everybody and its a team effort ."

Something that Peyton Rhode (10) from the JV team says is a b ig factor into how well you play is encouraging others She tells, "With the younger girls on our squad we try to keep encouraging them even if they make mistakes and keep their confidence up."

Lacher says that on the reserve team, "Positivity really brings us together, but sometimes frustration from a fellow teammate is what pushes us to win. " Lacher believes that the balance of teammates who are positive and others who are more serious, often bring them to victory

Reis agrees with the theory in that the different personalities help them to win She claims, "A mix of those things (personalities) helps us get things done."

While there are many positive aspects of the Freshmen, Reserve, and JV volleyball teams, there can be some things that are tougher than the general Southeast student would expect.

Reis tells that she has to give up dance classes and often rela xation time doesn 't come until the weekends for her.

Rhode has similar issues and explains, "During the season its hard to fit things in, but it's worth it. "

While there are sacr ifices to be made throughout each season , the players find inspiration and motivators to push to the end. Lacher responded, "Potentially getting a college scholarship is a big motivator for me.·

Rhode finds inspiration through her family and her long lasting commitment to the sport. She informed, "My parents always help and push me in volleyball I've been do ing it since I was a little kid. "

Some of these motivators may help the girls deal with a unique part of volleyball. This is the mental aspect. Lacher discloses, "It's a complete mind game. If you get in your head, there is so much that can go wrong. "

Reis agrees "Everybody thinks volleyball is easy and it's not that easy. It's a fast paced game and you don 't really have time to sit and think about what you 're going to do next."

Despite the mental and other hard aspects of volleyball there are good things to come out of it Reis, Lacher, and Rhode agree that intersecting personalities and other skills within games and practices is the glue that holds their teams together.

(Far Left) Se rves up! The ball flies through the air as Madison Renn (10) anticipates the ball to reach the other side of the net. "Positivity really brings us together, but sometimes frustration from a fellow teammate is what pushes us to win,· Gabrielle Lacher (10) tells.

A Shared Vision

During the players' interviews, they were asked some simple questions about the aspects of volleyball. Ironically, all of the players answered these questions almost identically. Th is is a good example of how our vo ll eyball teams at our school , intersect and although on different teams , work to form one complete unit

Q: What is the hardest thing in volleyball?

~: Conditioning

Q: What is your least favorite part of volleyball?

: Making mistakes.

Q: What are sacrifices you have to make for volleyball?

~: Have to give up other activities in order to be at games and practices.

All About Chemistry

Girls' basketball team dynamics evolve over time

Southeast's Varsity Girls ' team looked really different this year. The team brought on many ne w members, in addition to returning players like junior Karsin Underwood.

This new team required leadership from returners, and a lot of time spent working on team chemistry.

"People like (McKenzie) Beach (11) and Jocey Uocelyn Anderson] (l l) really try to lead us in practice and then , Karsin (Underwood) shes been on Varsity for three years so she just knows what to do in the games,' said returning player Alaetra Long (11)_

Senior Bailey Cowling was new to Southeast this year , and new to the team as a senior so she relied on her returning teammates "If Graham is late to practice, or if she needs to make an announcement to the whole team , but isn 't around all of us at one time, the returning people will volunteer to lead practice when she isn 't there or let everyone know if a time has been changed for something ," Cowling said.

Playing on the varsity basketball team is fun , but playing with your friends makes all the difference.

''I've made a lot of friends and a lot of them I play with , I've been best friends with since we were little and we've been

Don 't sweat it!

on the same team , so it's really fun ," Underwood said.

Basketball season can span as long as four months, and that leaves a lot of time for bonding at practices, games team dinners, and bus rides. "The girls bre my favorite part), it's such a long season we get super close," Long said.

This season came with its fair share of stress too. "It affects the overall aura of the team because it makes us all more careful " Cowling said, 'like in one of the very first practices Alex sprained her ankle but it wasn 't that bad cause she was only out for like a week maybe, but everyone else was a lot less physical with each other and made sure nobody else got hurt. ' ·

"In the past couple weeks Coach has made the practice a lot more intense, so we went from being a marginal team to being a team that can compete against any team in the state," said Long.

With the girls close relationship and great sportsmanship they make a great team.

What started out as just getting involved in the school, turned into a passion for Chuol, who also helped manage football in the fall. "I just get involved and do a lot of stuff, I was going to do it with Franni last year, but Franni couldn ' t do it last year and Graham said I should do it myself so I did and I ended up really liking it and I did it again this year, " said Chuol.

Being a student manager takes a lot of time and responsibility. "I take film for the team and Graham will use that to give to other teams and she can give it away to like other schools to watch it and they can look over to see like what our techniques are and so I'll do that for every game,

Varsity's journey to reach state

Ever y team can have their strengths and w ea kn esses

The team 's strengths and w ea kn esses can be more than just ph ysi ca l, they can be mental as well.

"One of our strengths is def initel y leadership since we have returning senior starters. One of our weaknesses is mental stability and keep ing it in our head, " said Trevor Dockum (1 2 ).

Ale x Euse (11) explained how he thinks that the teams strengths include their defense and their athleticism Euse also went on to e xplain that one of the team 's weaknesses is sometimes their offens ive shooting.

This year, Varsity 's best game of the season has been aga inst Omaha W est Side. W est Side is a ranked basketball team , and Southeast has beat them twice this season.

"Our first game aga inst West Side was the best because they w ere a ranked team, and we didn 't kno w how w e would do, but w e came out and beat them," said Euse

Day stated that their games against West Side have been the best because it caused an upset that w e beat a ranked team twice.

Dockum also stated that W est Side was their best game, "Our second game against West Side was our best because that w as the second time that w e beat them on their home court. They were a top ten team and

I is proven that wh en ath letes do multiple sports the skills from one can help with another Also, wh en athletes do multiple sports they have less of a risk to injur e themselves. There is less of a risk because an ath lete will go through more movements that wh at they w ould if they did only one sport.

For instance, in baseball, an athlete goes through different arm movements than what they w ould in basketball. Dockum plays football and he exp lained that playing football helps him to stay competitive

And One

Southeast Freshman, Reserve, and JV basketball connect to the hoop

Transitioning from middle school to high school sports can be a hard for some, but others embrace it with open minds.

The workload in high school is so much more, and the practices are much more intense for the athletes. If there isn 't practice that night there is usually a game.

"You need to work on time management definitely. With practices being everyday, and games on top of that time management is a big part of sports ," said Jackson Bunde (9).

On top of games and practices, players are already preparing for their next year on the team. Basketball doesn 't just consist of conditioning during the season it also consists of conditioning and practicing during the summer and offseasons.

''I've been going to the gym everyday and working on my game. I work on my weaknesses first then my strengths later, said Beau Panzer (]O).

Not only do you have to worry about academics when you are apart of a team but you also have to know if anybody had to change positions.

"Yeah, before I came to Southeast I was a post and then changed to a guard," shared Panzer (lO).

With new seasons come some new coaches whether they have ever taught or coached before or not. A new team to coach can be a hard but working with an experienced coaching staff can make that first year a more smooth and easy transition for them.

It was a little different at first I ve been coaching at Lincoln East for the last six years so most of the players here I ve coached against which they remind me about every once in awhile. I also played at Lincoln East so Southeast was always our rival. I never thought I would ever coach at Southeast but I'm so glad to have this opportunity. I really like working

with Coach Smith, as he is a great coach to learn from and he has made the transition very easy ," explained Coach Jesse Bouwens

"My first year at LSE has been a blast both on and off the court. As I reflect on basketball specifically , I wish the season didn't fly by so fast. I enjoy being with the team and believe they are improving every day in practice. Our cecord does not indicate the strides we have made as a team , but I know the team as well as myself, is striving to put a win streak together to finish the season and play our best basketball of the year down the stretch and into the city tournament " said Coach Jonah Bradley.

Having a new team under his belt, Bouwens accepts his challenges with an open mind.

"No real setbacks, but at the JV level we get about a three week break between games so I think we may have been a little rusty the first game between games. You never want to lose a game but I think that the loss to East was good for us and we will learn a lot from that game," added Bouwens.

Along with new coaches comes some new coaching techniques and new plays.

"Since some of the Junior Varsity players also play Varsity , both teams practice together. This is the first year not running my own practices, but I enjoy collaborating with Coach Smith and getting to work with the Varsity players as well. My coaching philosophy matches really well with Coach Smiths, so it's actually been an easy transition. I can teach things I m more comfortable with and Coach Smith has even allowed me to make adjustments to his system that he has ran for years. It is also nice to work with a coaching staff that is very supportive and helpful said Coach Bouwens

More than a team

Student Managers Victoria Molina (11) and Katlyn Miller (10) are the Boys Basketball Student Managers this year and put in more hours than any spectator can dream of.

'It's really fun, it has opened up my friend circle and it's fun to be apart of the team,· said Molina.

"It feels more intense being down there with the team compared to the stands,· said Mil er.

The managers attend almost every game and do whatever the coaches need. They also assist the players during the game to take a little bit of the stress off of them.

Swim First, Breathe Later

Building a tradition one stroke at a time

In the 2015-16 swimming season at LSE the swimmers have encountered many changes. For example, the swimmers got a new coach and of course new members.

Despite the new changes the swim team always finds a way to make the sport competitive yet fun.

Having a new coach is always a big adjustment to a team but to the swimmers they found this coach better at handling certain situations· Alexa Goldenstein (12) stated.

Not only was the coach good at taking care of business , he also, "brought a better attitude and helped the team come together as one," Cody McNeese (12) expressed.

Having a good attitude about a sport is crucial as well as bringing a team closer together. Being on a sports team is a special privilege, but the swimmers also have to keep up with good academics as well as achieving their goals.

"My goals are to get good grades and get into college ," Dexter Drbal (12) stated.

A few other swimmers had different goals in mind.

I've achieved some of my personal goals but I'm waiting until Conference and State to really push for personal best and see where it can take me later on in the road " McNeese mentioned.

Obviously different sports come with different personalities that intersect to form a good team but the swim team is more different than you might think.

Usually in a high school sport you have your boys team and your girls team and they practice separately. Swim team works a little different.

Its co-ed there are boys and girls swimming in one lane during practice. Swim team is such a variety of people and when we all come together you would never expect to be friends with some of the people you actually became friends with," McNeese added.

There is a lot that people don t know about LSE swimmers including all the work and early hour practices. "There is a lot of practice and hard work that you have to do • Drbal added.

In addition to having fun , the swimmers also like to set good examples for the underclassmen. ' I really want to show younger kids how hard work can pay

off " said McNeese

Every sport comes with its fair share of good and bad memories. The swim team has many good team and personal memories that make the team special.

"My favorite memory from this year was senior night. I enjoyed all my races and it was very laid back, McNeese said.

There are many different sports at our school and swimming is a great option. Not only did they have to make an adjustment to the new coach, they also come together in a very special way.

Early morning practices and hard work really do pay off. Many different personalities are intersected into one team and it makes the team very special and forms many good memories as well.

Diving From New Heights

Overcoming and surmounting all

With only five divers on the diving team at our high school many students may not know much about this special and hardworking team. The team members have broken through mental barriers and achieved many season goals, and with that the diving team has proven themselves to be very diligent.

A freshman diver Mary Rose Kaup explains how the aspect of a small team can be beneficial. She points out "I think part of it is that its not a very big sport at our school and being one of five people in the school who can do that feels really special and rare

Kaup finds that with such a small team , they can build closer relationships and experience a multitude of special moments. Kaup describes a time when they all took a rood trip to a meet "We all went to the Ralston Relay in a van , since it's just the four of us. Me Alexa Anna , and Marissa. " Kaup continues explaining that they watched the movie Tangled and bonded during the car ride

"You know we had a good time and the relay itself was really fun • Kaup added. Their experience seemed to be positive and the close knit group contributed to that aspect.

Another diver , Marissa Wekesser (12) also comments on how close the girls really are "Everyone is super high energy, jumping around, and encouraging each other ."

' We're all really trying to work for the good of the team ," exclaims W ekesser.

Although the girls try their best to maintain positive vibes throughout th e ir meets and workouts, there can be mental barriers that get in the way of that. Diving requires a lot of mental strength.

Wekesser admitted "Its more of a mental obstacle hon physical despite that there are very physical aspects to it.

Kaup also acknowledged the fact that there are many mental barriers that you need to face , "When you 're overcoming mental barriers in diving , its really difficult ."

Kaup explained, "You get frustrated and sometimes physically sick but when you get that dive its the best feeling in the world. I guess part of it is the adrenaline and the sense of accomplishment that comes with that."

Aside from these bumps in the road , the team still perseveres and tries to achieve their goals Kaup reported one of her personal goals. 'Ever since I started diving I ve wanted o learn a double front flip (Left) Make A Splash! An LSE diver competes in t he LSE v LHS and Fr emo nt tr iangu lar meet on Jan uary 28. ' Sometimes, you just have to throw it and go for it. If you make a mistake you j ust have to li ve with it • Mar issa Wekesser (12) sa id

I learned that this year and I m competing with it in the invitational she said.

Wekesser counteracts, "I didn t really go into this season with many goals because this is my first year in diving, but I definitely exceeded my own expectations, which I think is a win personally.

Wekesser achieves her goals through personal success. She clarifies, "I want to be the best and you can 't be the best without a lot of hard work. "

With these insights into the diving team we can conclude that they are small but mighty. They work hard and prove to the school that even with such a precise and difficult sport, they will overcome together

Go, Fight, Win

Intertwining the needs of the sport with the needs of the Wrestler

Wrestling is a sport that many know little about, let alone the conditioning and the training required for it. Knowing how to lose your water weight is vital in this sport as well as eating or not eating , right to maintain your weight. Mason Miller (9) has been in wrestling since he was in sixth grade and has experienced the difficulty of balancing eating right and exercise.

[ I ] don't eat anything bad, but if you're cutting weight you usually don't eat or drink water" said Miller.

However, not all wrestlers experiences are the some when dieting. Some may find dieting the easiest thing to do and it would have little, or no affect on their schooling. Others may have a harder time concentrating on their school work.

"[Dieting] probably [affected me] my freshman year but not really anymore since I'm not cutting weight "said Jonathan Killingsworth (12), who has lost seven pounds this year.

Though the wrestler diet is hard. training is harder. Training consists of running , lifting weights, and practicing wrestling techniques which last about two hours every practice. Sometimes they even lose more than two pounds at practice. Not only is the season hard enough there is summer conditioning and preseoson conditioning. Also there is lifting to warm up for the winter season.

"Wrest ling practice is ten times harder than football practice," said Miller.

Killingsworth was state champion last year in his weight class and hod to win four matches to win. Even though this is a very special title Killingsworth mentioned that he didn t think much of it because he now has new goals and new things to achieve. He soys that hydration is very important when it comes to practice especially for weigh-ins where the wrestler is weighed and has to determine how much they need to lose before they reach their ideal weight. Running is also impor ant so the wrestler is able to go the full six

minutes, go 100% not get tired , and is able to fight the whole time. It also gets the wrestler in shape.

"If you 're hydrated it's really easy to sweat out ," said Moses Sorillo (12).

The equipment for the wrestlers is minimal , but necessary for the sport to be enjoyed without injury. Wrestlers require singlets and headgear, however the mouth gu?rds are optional. Skin tight clothing is essential for wrestling so you and your opponent don't get tangled in the fabric. If the wrestlers don 't wear the headgear that protects the ears they could damage the ear and may even break the cartilage in their ear resulting in something they call 'cauliflower ear.

School isn't exactly easy for wrestlers either. There are times that wrestling member will be excused from class to attend a meet either for a· full day, or for half a day.

Wrestling isn't just something to do in your free time; it also teaches the athletes other things like respect helps with school, and just makes them more well-rounded people. It makes you physically, mentally, and emotionally tough.

"[Wrestling] teaches me; I have to do my best in everything and gives me the work ethic that I need for school and to help me get the grades that I do " said Killingsworth.

Even though practice is every evening on the weekdays and some weekends , it doesn t take away too much from their social lives. They still have the weekend evenings and nights and they make time to hang out with friends , but Miller soys the main focus is wrestling during the season.·

(Above) Family first. Anthony Erb (12) being escorted by his mom, at senior night honoring the seniors and their parents. It was the last time he was going to be wrestling so it was emotional. "It was a really good four years. It was a good thing to put my mind to. I enjoyed it." said Erb.

(Right) Shake it up. Michael Gunther (12) is wishing his senior teammates good luck. He had just pinned his opponent in 20 seconds. ·1 ended up loving wrestling more than football," said Gunther

Pushing Through

Abigale Ahrens (10) is the only fem ale wrestler for second semester. Though this is rare it doesn ' t stop Ahrens from participating in this sport.

"Sometimes it's really hard, because the boys, they try extra hard to pin you and make you want to lose, and then there are those people that don't want to see you in the sport," said Ahrens.

Ahrens doesn 't pay much attent ion to the attention that she receives for being in a male dom inanted sport. Why should anything hinder what she loves to do?

"I enjoy sports so much I kind of get over it," said Ahrens.

Being the only girl on the the team she has to compete with the boys a lot. Which means wrestling with them at practice.

"I know some boys feel pretty awkward wrestling with me. I'm just

so used to it that I don't even care anymore. At first it was weird, but now it's not," said Ahrens,

Though in some cases Ahrens feels she is being treated differently she is glad that she's able to say that she is able to participate in the sport.

"Its you against another person. Its your whole body strength against another person,· said Ahrens.

Ahrens encourages other girls to participate in the sport, but gives a cautious warning that its not for everyone.

"I know so many girls that have tried it, but ended up quitting. You have to know that its not only about your body strength, but also your heart and mental strength. Its a mental sport. You have to encourage yourself. There are times where you are going to want to quit. You basically have to tell yourself 'No. I' m in it and I'm gonna finish it, ' " she said.

Beyond the Sidelines

Cheer leaders immerse themse lves into the community

The cheerleaders at Southeast do much more than just cheering at athletic events. They work hard most of the year , even during summer break.

"We make locker posters put up streamers, and decorate commons to promote school spirit and get people e xcited for events," said Sophia Misle-Crants (10).

"I think that decorating the school and making signs helps get peoples attention for upcoming games so hopefully they will come and cheer on Southeast 's teams," Lauren Campbell (10) said.

Outside of school they fundraise with carwashes and they host a kiddie clinic where children can come and learn some cheers and then perform at a football game

"We go to the Breast Cancer awareness walk in October which is really rewarding and one of my favorite things we do," Misle-Crants said..

' We sometimes do car washes , or volunteer at F street Rec Center We go to the Backpack Extra Mile walk as well " Rehn Loftus (12) added.

In the summer, the first year cheerleaders practice everyday at 7 a.m. and the returning cheerleaders come to practice at 7 a.m. once a week.

"We learn and practice cheers so we 're ready for fall sports," explained Misle-Crants.

7 a.m. practices help us bond because it's so early," Loftus said.

They also attend a cheer camp during the summer to get outside help and instruction. Camp

helps them get close to each other because they are spending so much time together there.

"We work very hard, we learn a ton of different cheers chants and even a couple dances We also work on our flexibility and jumps. My favorite part about camp is getting to know my squad and working together with them to learn all of the material " Campbell said.

Through all the things that the cheer squads do, they become closer to each other which is important.

"The closer we get the better our routines are ," Loftus said.

"Anything we do together helps us become closer , we learn something new about each other everyday. Its important for us to be close because we 're together all the time , so we need to have good friendships ~ith each· other in order for things to go smoothly and that way w e work together better ," explained Campbell.

Being on a cheer squad doesn't just involve going to games and cheering for athletic events. They play an important role in helping the school get excited for games. They also help the community outside Southeast. Cheer helps them to form strong bonds and friendships that will last for a long time.

The Art show has been around for four years. Though it has not bee n around very long, it has given many students an opportunity to showcase their artwork to their peers and family. This is senior Taylor Blanchard's seventh year in the art show, and she has submitted pi eces of her work. "I'm looking forward to someone buying my paintings,· said Blanchard.

Melody Jones started the art show believing that it boasted the confidence of the students in the art program. "They're very proud when they see their piece up and other people looking at it, and we talk to th em about that,· said Mrs. Jones.

Usually, the show is an hour and a half, but this year the art department has decided to extend it to two hours. 'In the beginning its really full then it gets really slow. This is the longest we've had it," said Mrs. Jones.

Students are able to sell pieces at the art show and decide whether to

keep or donate the money they earn from the show. Others are also able to purchase student's art. "People buy art from students for many reasons. They may know the person and want something from that student, or they might really like the image. Usually there's some connection,· said Mrs. Jones.

At the same time as the art show, the empty bowls show also takes place, where the money goes to the Food Bank of Lincoln. Sometimes the students that earn money from the art show will donate it to the Food Bank as well.

·one of the reasons that we do this is because it meets the LPS standard of present. The standard says that each student presents their artwork in some sort of location. Throughout the year we place stuff in the showcase, but we can only get a certain amount in, but this makes sure all art students get to present a piece of artwork • said Mrs. Jones.

Busy in the World of Business

Connecting today's youth with the future

When thought about in the context of our school business is related to three headings: FBLA DECA, and the dreadful interview fair you were or will attend your junior year. However our business department consists of much more. One important • component to it is marketing.

Marketing , even in our society , is widely unacknowledged. Many people turn an oblivious eye to what they come into contact with on any given day but understanding its relevance and purpose is beneficial to producing more socially aware citizens.

"It lets people get to know your brand, " said Jake Brandt (12).

Josiah Brown (12) added "It singles out your market and allows you to appeal to what a certain genre would like."

Brandt Brown, and Hannah Allgood (12) all agreed that advertisings main purpose is to spread awareness and bring attention to products and services being offered.

In our school alone we 're constantly surrounded by advertisements. On the walk to third period we can see dozens of posters down any given hallway. In addition we are crowded amongst students sporting vario_us logos and displaying an array of messages. As we settle down for class the announcements start rolling· if you listen various ads are strung in through the notices.

Advertising has obviously spread to many more platforms though. There are countless social media accounts for the various departments clubs, and organizations throughout our school. Most companies have at least one form of social media

Microsoft and Facebook ore the three leading corporations in America with the largest influences on social media.

"Right now social media is really big especially among young adults, so having younger people in marketing will be helpful to target people in different ways Allgood inferred.

Social media is easily manipulated towards an individuals interests based on their profile, what they post about and what they like and share. With new apps popping up every couple of weeks , who knows what the next craze will be. Whatever it may be, marketers will be ready to contrive it to their benefit. The world of marketing will indeed be much different than it is now. When asked about what changes she thought would occur Allgood hesitated.

"Dear god she laughed the world 's changing so much right now. I don t even know where technology is going to be in 10 years from now, and technology has a huge impact on how we live our lives.

Its true; there are many intangible forces influences our everyday lives, which is why we must keep a level head, able to critically think on it's own.

"Knowing what a business wants to get out of their advertising can help make you more aware of the purpose behind it so then you won't fall into their traps concluded Allgood.

Maintaining a strong conscious and staying up to date with local and global happenings will aid in making economic decisions in the future.

What is the significance of advertising in the society we live in now?

"Ads draw brand awareness and if effective, sales which then drives the economy, helps businesses thrive.·

"It promotes materialism.''

"It has become the backbone of tour society. We r un on advertisements and sel ling and without them, we wo uldn't know what to do with our lives.·

·we are heavily influenced to be consumers.·

"Advertising keeps society in a state of thinking that they need things or that we need to be a certain way."

"It helps us to come up with ideas and get a new perspective.·

Sew Much More

FCS : more than cook ing and sewing

Have you ever taken a Family and Consumer Science class before? If not you might be led to think that all they do is sew and cook food. By taking time to look into the department you will find there is much more being taught to the students

Britney Wojtasek (9 ) is currently taking creative clothing design.

"They teach you what you can do as you grow and mature how to ra ise a family and how to treat other people " said Wojtasek.

The FCS classes try and teach the students life skills in a hands-on manner. One of the projects in creative clothing design is making a blanket out of old t-shirts from home. The interactive aspect is what sets these classes apart from other classes , where you don 't have the opportunity to do more engaging projects.

Nikolai Jaramillo-Ramirez (10) is taking Culinary Foundations class that FCS teacher Lana Harrison is teaching. He decided to take the class because he wanted to learn how to make food. The class has made an assortment of meals including pepperoni pizza and cheesy garlic bread.

Students are prov ided with a wide array of classes to ta~e Academ ics

including learning about teen issues. working with pre-school to grade school ki ds, and even interior design.

Elizabeth Hansen (10) is in Interior Design and she is enjoying it. "I like having Mrs. Goff she is really laid back and it it is fun to be in her class ." said Hansen. She also likes picki ng the different fabrics and tiles for each room during the projects.

This year the district added two new classes to the Family and Consumer Science program: Lifespan Development and FACS overview.

Department Chair, Lori Goff has been teaching FCS classes at Southeast for about 20 years and enjoys watching her students complete the different projects for her classes.

For Interior Design their final project is to participate in a contest hosted by the Homebuilders Assoc iation where they make a floor plan for a house and choose samples of the different things they would decorate the house with.

The projects are judged by interior designers and Southeast consisten ly comes in the top three almost every year.

Life Lessons in Literature

Connecting Classroom Ideas to Real Life

When students think about English classes the first things that come to their mind are probably reading books and writing essays. What they may not think of are all of the interesting things their teachers do to make class more exciting.

"Ms. Krivda is very open to all ideas she does not criticize anyone , and she accepts all answers ," explained Ally Hall (10).

Hall went on to explain that something she will never forget about her English class is the fishbowl discussions she had.

"I think something that I have learned this year that will help me in the real world would be critical thinking and how it is important to think deep about things ," said Hall.

"Mrs. Kruger lets us have a lot of class discussions. She also assigns projects where she gives us a broad topic and we choose what we want to do like write about it," said Maria Kohel (10).

Kohel has learned how to share her opinions in a considerate way , through Mrs. Kruger 's classroom discussions

"I think that our class is a lot different from other classes because from what I hear about other classes my class writes a lot more. We write about weird topics like Star Wars and aliens abducting us, and we have poems of the day which is kinda cool because we get to interpret them ," said Peyton Rhode (10).

According to Rhode , Mr. Segrist's class is really exciting and interesting. When they read in class, everyone gets a part to ad out, which stimulates the class. One of the most unforgettable moments from his class is when everyone had to address a current event speaking to how severe it is and what can be done to change or fix it. The class debated on the top five students picked by Segrist and the winner was given a gift card.

"Another project that I am passionate about is our random ad of kindness project that I am able to conned with The Pearl second semester for 10th graders. This allows students to make a difference for others and in turn reap the rewards that come with knowing his Students have surprised me with the amount of commitment they put into this project and the end results reflect that," explained English teacher Julie Kruger.

Kruger explained that she is excited to see what her second semester 9D students will create during their Romeo and

*Law and Literature

Juliet unit. Which all 9D classes will rewrite and videotape their own interpretation of the play. Kruger - also explained that in the past students have made versions ranging from the Hunger Games to the video taking place in a hig~ school.

"The collaboration of students to pull this production off is a learning experience in itself. It is quite a treat to see what all classes produce," added Kruger.

'Tm always excited to learn new things, no matter how small, so I hope to instill that same excitement in students. Also, this year I have a couple students who show up every morning and put a silly or funny joke on the board. It may not be much but it starts each day with levity that is sometimes just what we all need ," explained English teacher , Sara. Danielson.

Danielson went on to explain that in her English 9 class her and her students did cultural explorations. The class pretended they were anthropologists from a different planet analyzing current song lyrics to see what they said about the values and beliefs of Earth people.

"Turns out based on the Billboard Top 100 our cultural • messages are narrow and materialistic " said Danielson.

Adding to the Curriculum

From the classroom to the real world

Most math classes you would go into would all look very similar: students glancing between the teacher and their notebook as they carefully copy down the correct numbers and diagrams-which isn 't very exciting. However, math teachers are beginning to change their usual teaching methods by adding fun activities and demonstrations into the curriculum.

Math teacher , Carol Goans and her statistic classes did a gummy bear lab

"They had to create a gummy bear launcher to see which one would launch the gummy bears the farthest ," said Mrs. Goans.

She hopes that in class activities will help the students to see actual results and be able to apply learned skills for the test. Mrs. Goans also calls on students in class and walks around to make sure they are getting the notes down and understanding the material.

Sherry West , another Math teacher and Math Department Chair, also does some different activities to help her studen s learn.

"Singing songs to learn formulas , using bodies to show transformations in graphs playing games • said Mrs. West are a few examples.

Math teacher, Kristin Johnson says "I try to use cooperative group activities to help students be able to discuss math concepts and to get help from each other I use the computer application called Desmos as a graphing calculator to demonstrate what particular functions look like.

Academics

In her Differentiated Geomtry class Mrs. Johnson brought in Principal, Brent Toalson and Associate Principal Erik Witt in to discuss security camera placement within the school.

Math teacher, Julianne Spry explains, "In Algebra Block (which is a 2 period class), I will have stations around the room for them to complete. This keeps most students engaged and up and moving around. "

She also mixes in games like Jeopardy, TIC TAC TOE, and Kahoot as well as using whiteboards.

Math teachers are getting more creative in how they are teaching their students.

For senior Bailey Cowling , math has always been one of her favorite subjects. She is a student athlete and misses days of class often.

"Teachers have always been willing to help me learn the material I miss either after class or after school ," Cowling said.

Her AP Statistics class , taught by Mrs. Goans, does lots of different things to apply what they are learning to their lives.

"We took a survey that asked us questions like how tall are you how many pairs of shoes do you own and some other questions. to create a spreadsheet • Cowling said.

Southeast Math teachers are thinking of new ways to help their students learn and apply math concepts better.

Behind the Curtain

Backstage crews and directors convene for production

Tucked away behind the stage in the Jennifer L. DorseyHowley Performing Arts Center is a group of hardworking students and faculty. They work hours on end perfecting and creating their work to make productions look easy and simple to the audience Who are they? They are the Performing Arts behind the scenes crew members.

Whether its the tech crew run crew , set crew , lighting crew prop masters, box off ice sound head, stage managers and other crew members the LSE Performing Arts department does it all They are the people working to make the • spectacular productions happen at our school.

"I do hair and makeup and costumes crew " explains Franni Dimon (12) Dimon has been apart of several productions and has had a few years of experience with behind the scenes work.

Another behind the scenes contributor Nora Furr (10), tells about her duties "I mostly just do after school tech stuff, I did some bo x office [duties ], and I helped with the one act costumes this year " said Furr

When attending a play or other productions, many people don 't realize , or consider , what actually happens behind stage and prior to a performance to make it all come together. Some of the crew members e xplain what truly goes into building a show.

For example, Furr e xplains a time when she had to create a prop for the one act play "For the one ad I helped make the bed and it took over an hour just to make one bed post ," Furr stressed. She continues "Sometimes you see a prop and think that it looks so simple, but it really could have taken hours to make it."

Dimon gave another example of why a production wouldn t be able to happen or have the full effect without all of the crew members. She tells 'like the lighting crew , you wouldn 't be able to get the feel or emotion from the scenes if it weren t for them. ·

Lucy Collins (l]) another behind the scenes crew member concurs We try to make the sets come alive as much as possible ." Collins also finds that its not only the student crew members but also the adults involved in their work.

Carol Svobda , Director has been apart of LSE Performing Arts for years and has a lot of experience. Heather Hillhouse Tech Director has had years of experience as well.

In fact Svobda and Hillhouse are so important to the production of any performing arts show that the crew and cast would be lost without them. Furr verifies "Without them [directorsl wed just be a bunch of kids trying to do something

but not succeeding. "

Dimon agrees, They make the image in their head become something on stage. I don 't know how they do it but they explain things in such a way and they get it so accurate to what they want. "

Collins can 't help but continue to agree with how vital the directors are. "Carol is just a mastermind of theatre and she has been doing it for a long time now and knows what's up: she smiled.

The one thing that the crew members feel the directors help most with is not only allowing the show to happen , but making it meaningful to everyone involved including the audience. "We all understand the message of the show because of them [directors]. Wed just be acting and doing our other jobs, rather than getting intellectual moments from it," Dimon concluded.

Another very important aspect of behind the scenes work is the flexibility needed for a show and all of its aspects. More often than not, things go wrong or not as what was initially planned.

"For example during Grapes of Wrath (2015 Fall Play) the truck broke down and we had to have an extended intermission by like thirty minutes, but we fixed it and we dealt with it. You just have to be on your feet and be there to fix it," Collins acknowledged.

Collins concluded, you always have to be on your feet when you 're apart of theatre because anything can go wrong when you re up there [on stage]. '

So whether things go right or wrong people behind stage as well as the cast and directors are working to make it seem like its all going right. This is the challenge but the beauty of performing arts and members at our school do a wonderful job with all of it

Active Participation Training for Life

Whether its in a gym class, at a game, practice, we ve all been in Prosch Gym. Its the intersection of Physical Education here at Southeast whether we play a huge game of capture the pin with all gym classes or just take a lap around the track. Prosch and the other gyms aren't just where all the Physical Education classes take place. Southeast has a broad range of different Physical Education classes, from the required Health and Fitness for Life classes. to Dance 101 Aerobics and Lifetime Sports.

Health class isn t your typical health class. "I like the involvement of the class, it's very hands on I have Mr. Smith. He's a really good instructor and he makes sure everyone is comfortable " Emma Lanik (]OJ explained.

This health class teaches you things in a whole other meaning. "We just got done with our mental illness unit, so knowing the statistics of how many people are affected by mental illnesses really kind of shocks you ," Lanik said.

Students think that taking a gym class is a way to get out of school work and paperwork and that is a commonsense class, but when you think of it, Physical Education classes help you detect and learn what your body's limits are and helps you push beyond them. They also help you study your body. Fitness and health helps you learn healthy life skills.

Fitness for Life isn't like a PE class from middle school. It's learning about your body and your limits while your having fun with your friends. Some people think you have to be active to "be good" in a PE class or "be active.·

Great stretches for your body!

Briley Graf ( 9) shows some stretches to help you warm-up for your physical activities. There are more ways to stretch, and to the right are just a selected few.

Lyndon Gauchat (9) disagrees, "No I don t think that would apply to anybody, if you enjoy just having fun and somewhat an interest in sports, it'd be fun to do."

First year Southeast Physical Education teacher, Football , and Freshman Girls' Basketball coach Dustin Deterding expresses this.

"Its about discovering a passion for fitness and desire to learn more about a particular game or type of exercise," he said.

• All of the Physical Education teachers here at Southeast are also coaches for one of our many athletic activities. But it seems that the players may not work the same whether they're playing a game of basketball in their Physical Education classes or at their athletic practice.

Kara Graham, Girls' Basketball coach and Physical Education teacher indicates •players seem to work harder as players than they do in physical education. When it comes to academics, it just depends on the player. One of my roles as a coach is to get girls to understand that academics comes first and will get them much farther in life than athletics."

Although Graham wants her players to be better in the game, she also wants them to better in school.

So while doing warm -ups just remember: the way you help your body now in one of our many Southeast Physical Education classes will better you in the future in the one place thats helped you better as an individual, Southeast.

Its Own "Culture" of People

The intersection of scie nce and culture

When science and culture come together, it becomes its own ecosystem. The teachers use the cultural backgrounds that they come from to help the students succeed in the classroom.

Science teacher , Carol Moravec teaches Anatomy and Physiology, along with Medical Terminology, and, Biology.

"I am from Jamaica and I have lived in the U.S. for almost 30 years. During that time, I have learned to adapt to the American culture without losing the experiences that I have grown up with.My Jamaican culture has a big impact on who I am today " said Mrs. Moravec.

When it comes to sharing her culture throughout the classroom , said Moravec, "Sometimes I share food , stories about growing up in Jamaica spices , customs and sometimes language."

"I do not teach my culture , but my students are always exposed to some facet of my culture. Your culture is a collection of your experiences and customs and so students are going to get a part of that in the classroom ," explained Mrs. Moravec.

Some people wonder if being exposed to another culture is helpful in certain ways. Does it help the students become more interested and engaged in what's happening in the classroom?

"In some situations it may help. Some students are not afraid of exploring differ~nt things , while others may see different as bad and so they may have a hard time adjusting. However, teaching with the awareness of the diversity of your classroom is very important. When students can see themselves in what you are teaching they tend to buy into it more, especially if they are not from the dominant culture," explained Mrs. Moravec.

She also explains how she thinks culture plays a role throughout the classroom: "Having a great understanding of my own culture has helped me to respect all students. Students do not want to be invisible and so I do think adding components of different cultures in your lesson can help some students be more engaged in the lesson or subject matter. ·

Many of the science classes and the teachers in the Science department like using hands-on experiments while teaching their objectives.

Bradley Niimi , who teaches Geoscience and Chemistry , said "My current philosophy of teaching includes the application of kinesthetic learning. •

The Science department is well known for its experiments, and projects that students do to help them absorb more information, along with being able to have fun with it.

"I reflect on and review lessons for the opportunity to incorporate an activity that will reinforce or add to the students understanding of the lesson objective," said Mr. Niimi.

Along with experimental projects, many of the Biology classes from semester one attended field trips to the Platte River State Park during the first semester of the year.

"Going on field trips gives students a chance to explore science beyond the classroom. Field trips give them a chance to see other scientists and science in action ," said Mrs. Moravec.

"It can make biology come alive for the students. On the field trip they are experiencing the subject and not just talking about. The information becomes more applicable and will therefore create a more heightened awareness for learning the subject matter," explained Mrs. Moravec

"Students love to touch things and so having them go out there gives them that endless opportunity to explore and ask questions," said Mrs. Moravec.

Seems that hands-on is very well liked throughout the science department, and of course it is. What's a science class without experimenting?

Mrs. Moravec explains a little more about what she thinks about hands on teaching and experimenting.

"I do believe in hands-on learning, however, I don't reaHy think its better. I personally believe in "minds on" and "hands on". If students see hands on as a learning opportunity, then the full benefits of learning will be afforded. A good mixture of each is very important in science. I love to see students engaged in laboratory activities. "

Just like all teachers throughout Southeast the science teachers work so hard to make sure their students are as successful as possible. Mrs. Moravec does a great way of summarizing this for US.

"Planning hands on activities are hard work but I love to see when my students are excited about what they are learning, " said Mrs. Moravec.

One Lap of Sunlight and Fresh Air

This year, as many of the students are sitting in their classrooms, they can look out the windows during their period 5 class and get a glance of many of the science teachers taking a daily walk around the school.

"We walk to get sunlight and fresh air. Otherwise, in the winter especially, we may go all day with no daylight. Some of the science rooms have no windows and when you arrive in the dark and leave in the dark, it can really affect one's mental state," explained science teacher Frankie Petersen.

Mrs. Petersen tells a little about her and all of her colleagues that walk around the school, "Krug, Haugarud, Karel, and Paulsen go regularly. Paulsen has been doing this for ages.~

She tells that these are some of the teachers that she walks with around Southeast. Many students want to know what they're going to do when the weather gets colder. Mrs. Petersen explained, "When it gets cold, I plan to bundle up, move faster. If the climate keeps heating up, we will have fewer cold days each year. Climate change: bad for humanity, good for walking season in Nebraska.~

It was really interesting to hear about how the science teachers like to regularly go on walks even when the climate is constantly changing in Nebraska. What a great way to get some good exercise, fresh air, and spend time with your colleagues and friends!

History in the Making

Soc ia l Studies teachers intersect current events and history

For Social Studies teacher Noa Craft the importance of current events is simple: "Citizenship

Kyle Beacom agrees "Ki ds need to know important and relevant news.

"I hope that the current events we go over in class help to engage students in the world they live in today and the class they are taking. When students are invested in their world and in their class they want to make that world a better place and they want to be successful in class Social Studies teacher Sasha Reeks stated.

The key to discussing current events in Social Studies classes i to keep them relevant to the classroom. Both Jaci Kellison. Social Studies teacher, and Mr. Beacom attempt to connect current events to past historical events to study parallels.

"There ore also several times during the year, when we ore studying topics like the Industrial Revolution in which I give students the opportunity to search for and find their own current events and relate them to what we ore studying ," Mrs. Kellison said

To encourage student involvement Mrs. Reeks and Mr. Craft play a weekly current event game, where students play for bonus points.

"The Merit Point game keeps kids involved and makes sure they ore reading actually important news " Mr. Craft said.

"Some of these questions are fun and others ore more serious in nature and usually

students are very good about realizing which events ore more serious than others and should be discussed with a little more respect ," Mrs. Reeks added.

The teachers are able to look back and see history in the making. Mr. Craft still has the newspaper headlines the day after President Obama's election

'' My class watched his inauguration on TV," Mr Craft said of the monumental day in U.S. history.

Mrs. Reeks remembers an important learning moment during her first year of teaching where a Kurdish refugee shared stories of his life in Iraq.

"Through his story it opened the classes eyes to what people in war-torn countries are going through and it was one of the best learning experiences I have seen take place in a classroom because it was an experience that I hope stuck with every student in that class Mrs. Reeks said.

Providing well-rounded information is also an important port of teaching .Social Stwdies.

Mr. Craft uses multiple sources and provides his opinion when prompted, while Mr. Beacom pulls information from newspapers and lets the students talk.

Social studies classes are not just about history, they 're about history in the making.

We are t he ch ampions! First semester AP Government & Politics students smile after winning first place in the We The People competition January 5. Southeast won first place and beat long time champion, Lincoln East. 'The Spartans showed up prepared, but they weren't ready for the Kn ight Pride,· competitor Emily Johnson (12) said.

Putting the Social in Social Studies

What could be better than teaching at Lincoln Southeast High School?

"Teaching with your friends makes it fun to come to work. I love my job because I enjoy what I do, but I love my job more because I get to work with some really

awesome and caring people on a day-to day basis," Mrs. Reeks said.

But the fun goes beyond the halls of Southeast. The staff has plenty of activities that span the whole school year: bowling and softball league, poker nights, birthday celebrations, cooking contests, golfing or supporting staff at coaching events.

The friendships are beneficial for both teachers and the students. From a professional perspective, it makes planning and

collaboration with other teachers a lot more fun, and the lessons we come up with are more engaging than if we were on our own," said Mrs. Kellison. "You also have a lot of people to help you out if your kid gets

sick in the middle of the night and you need a last

minute substitute or a class cover."

The connections are endless inside and outside of Southeast: Social Studies teacher Kirk Svendsen and Mr. Craft hang out at their daughters' gymnastics class, and Mrs. Reeks and Mr. Craft are even neighbors.

A Knight out (from top , clockwise) Mr Wardyn , Mr Markham, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Kellison Mrs. Reeks and Mr. Craft pose for a picture during a night out. Going out to eat is just one of many activities the social studies teachers enjoy outside of school. 'The whole Soc ial Studies depatrment is pretty tight • Mrs. Reeks said.

The Social Studies teachers are thankful to be teaching at Southeast but even more thankful to be in good company. "It makes the tough times easier, and the good times better Mr. Beacom said.

Prizes by Patrol

KNIGHT

Pr ide awarded with a spec ial vis it

This year KNIGHT Pride awards have been given out to several students at our school. Some students ore awarded the •mystery prize " which involves a visit from a very special group of students called Prize Patrol.

The sponsor of Prize Patrol teacher Deborah Grandjean, tells us the Prize Patrol students are enrolled in her basic elective core class. "In this class students develop social communication skills ," explains Mrs. Grandjean.

The group has specific duties that they must carry out while delivering prizes to the KNIGHT Pride winners. A Prize Patrol member Will Dirrim (9), explains his duties, "My job is to go to classrooms and knock on the doors."

Matthias Lindburg (1ll, another member, describes one of his jobs. "I tell them (the prize recipient) congratulations ," he exclaims.

Mrs. Grandjean also explains some tasks that her students ore required to carry out. She mentions a time where a student did something they haven 't always been comfortable doing.

"I asked if one of them was willing to knock on the door and announce Prize Patrol to the classroom. One of my kiddos said they would do it. We practiced him doing that and just to see him practice, go in the classroom , and give the prize you could see he was proud to do that. For me that was really rewarding ," smiles Mrs. Grandjean.

Mrs. Grandjean finds that Prize Patrol is rewarding and fun , not only to her students, but her as well. She finds that the most rewording thing for her and her students is watching the students grow in communication skills.

"To see that our students get the opportunity to practice talking to people that they might not know , they don t typically get many opportunities like that ," she said.

Students Lindburg and Dirrim both agree that they love seeing the reaction of students when they give out the prizes The two agreed, "We love seeing their smiles and laughs. "

Most of the time the prizes include pencils pens sticky notes and other important school supplies A great award for hard working Southeast students Dirrim also explains that he knows what he is doing is "good for him " -referring to the fun he has and things

Cultures Emerge

I Connecting the classroom with the real world

"We don 't think about where our language comes from or why it is the way it is, we just speak it. You have to go through it and live it to learn what the language is really all about " said Teresa Barta , a Spanish teacher at Lincoln Southeast.

She had always had a passion for language and its inhibitors while growing up in Spain, but it wasn 't until she was 24, when she was faced with one of the biggest challenges of her life which was moving to the United States.

Here she was forced to learn a language foreign to her just to function during everyday life in her new home. It was then when her passion for learning the "ins" and "outs" of language and culture grew stronger. She made the decision to go back to school and became a Spanish teacher.

"Its much more than just conjugating verbs. When you take a foreign language class , it makes you think about more than just your tiny world,·' said Department Chair and French teacher , Kristen Tangen.

Maggie English(]]) will be experiencing the French culture and have the opportunity to use her French language skills soon, as she is planning on visiting France with her family in a couple months.

''I'm going to France in February with my family and I'm super stoked about it! I know I'll probably pick up on a few things and I'll be able to speak as well , Im looking forward to the experience," said English

We have many bilingual students at LSE, such as Alex Sokolov (11J. Alex moved from Russia to the U.S. with his family when he was just a kid.

"My dad received a job here and he took it. He, my mom , myself and my older brother moved here after that," said Sokolov. Alex is in his fourth year of French this school year and aspires to visit France someday to see and experience the culture first hand.

"Theres so much more to a language and culture than what's in a book " said Senora Barta.

All teachers in the World Language department can agree to that.

"Somebody can be really book smart and that's great, but if you don 't have the interest in the culture/language and desire to travel in order to use it and experience it, then you re just going to become one of those people who has taken the course and forgotten everything afterwards said Barta.

World Language courses are an amazing opportunity for students to step outside of their comfort zone, their normal, and cross paths with different people and cultures in a new respected perspective. That is an on-going goal for the World Language teachers at Southeast.

"I think its good for people to meet people from other cultures It opens up your mind and way of thinking " said

Waving hello to a new language! Students doing an act ivity in their third year French class. Activities and teachers getting involved really help stu de nts learn. 'I want to say it comes easy [learning the language] but you obviously have to put in effort to learn it,' said

Le arni ng in Action

Emma Lauterbach (10) is a third yea r French student here at Southeast. Even though most of her friends are in panish, this didn't stop her from choos ing French as her language.

'"I wanted to try something besides Spanish because thats kind of what everyone had been choosing,'' said Lauterbach.

Other than the language, students learn a lot about the culture of the language, the schools in the country and the countries that speak the language.

"I really like the culture and learning about it, and it's a really pretty anguage,., added Lauterbach.

You have to put in effort to learn the language, but a good eacher eally makes or breaks if you understand the mater ial.

~, have Madame Dimon and she makes it really fun. She' s really nice and it's not boring. We do different activities and she always gets involved," said Lauterbach.

Even though Lauterbach is not in any. there's a Frenc h club at Southeast anyone can join which can help you even more to further understand the language. There are even pportunities to visit other countries.

Someday I eventually want to go to Paris and use the language. I really like the culture and learning about the anguage," said Lauterbach.

Vocal Goes Local

Southeast Vocal Mus ic reaches out to the community

"Going up onto the stage was pretty much like stepping into outer space with a rock band " explained Greyson McCown (12), about what it was like to sing with the group Foreigner at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Ars Nova , Southeast's vocal jazz choir , won the "Sing With Foreigner " contest when they submitted their version of "Cold as Ice".

The concert that was held at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday , October 11 , 2015 was Greyson 's favorite memory from his years participating in Lincoln

"We had 14 Ars Nova performances alone in 12 days this Christmas season; we just want to get our voices heard. "

The Vocal Music program was also involved in a flash mob downtown at the Railyard.

"It was a good way to get the word out about United Way , and helping people around the world, explained Brayden Renner (11)_

United Ways main mission is to create equal opportunities for everyone around the world. Their focus is on education, income, and health, which they Southeast Vocal Music.

"There are a lot of things that add up to be fun , but if I were to pick one though , it would be singing with Foreigner on stage. That was a lot of fun" said McCown.

"Going up onto the stage was pretty much like stepping into outer space with a rock band. 11 Greyson Mccown (12)

"It was super awesome, I've never been in front of 13 ,000 or however many people who were in the arena, but it was electrifying! There were phone lights everywhere. I felt like I was in a giant fish lens looking out at everybody," explained Michael Rhian (12), also a member of the vocal group Ars Nova.

Lincoln Southeast is a place where we love to be heard all around the community , no matter what it is for. Vocal Music here at Southeast is very involved with the community.

"We actually do quite a bit of community performances. We pride ourselves in that ," said Rhian

"There is a reason we don 't have a show choir here at Southeast. Its because Ms. Noonan is very avid about how choir shouldn 't be about competition. You shouldn 't be singing because you could win something, you should be singing because of the intrinsic reward. "

Rhian couldn 't have described it any better. He also said,

believe are the building blocks for a good quality of life and a strong community.

"The looks on people 's faces were pretty funny , they were not expecting like 70 high school kids to bust out in song and dance so that was really entertaining ,"

explained Rhjan.

Many of the people involved with Vocal Music plan to stay involved with music even after they graduate.

"I would want to join like a vocal music group of some sort while I'm in college," explained Renner.

Rhian mentioned how he plans to stay with music after high school , "I am going to be a Music Education [major] at the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. Go bears!!

"I learned that no matter what , you just have to let whatever happens, happen. You know? I also learned that hard work does pay off, you just have to give it time because sometimes , time is all you need, " said Rhian.

All eight choirs at Southeast get to participate in community performances,· explained Mach.

Joyce uses her Voice

Joyce Bonte (11), is one of the many foreign exchange students spending the year at Lincoln Southeast during the 2015- 2016 school year. Bonte is involved with the Vocal Music department at Southeast.

''I've always loved to sing and since I didn 't have a choir this was the perfect opportunity to join.· said Bonte. She said hat she was in a music class at her school in the Netherlands, but they don 't have choirs there.

I have learned a lot! I learned to listen how to sight read better and I have learned what it s like to be in a choir because I had never had that experience before. I would recommend that everyone join a vocal music group at LSE. It is a great experience for everyone and a great way to make friends said Bonte

Open to Interpretation

Forensics connects multiple voic es

Forensics students are any where from drama students, student athletes, journalism students art students, and many other students from all over the school. One place they all connect is E217 every Monday when the forensics team holds their weekly meetings. Coming together as one, they realize that you don't have to be a football player who only hangs out with football players. You don 't have to be a theater student that can only connect with someone on stage. There are students that realize that there can be more than one place that you can conned with people.

Lincoln Southeast Forensics consists of speech and debate. "A good environment for everybody to realize their unique personalities. It gives a place for kids to know people they wouldn 't otherwise get to know ," said Southeast assistant speech coach and English teacher Kelsey Lorimer. Aidan Cummins (11) is using speech as practice. He discusses his passion for acting and ho~ speech is a good "buff activity". Speech helps him interpret, he often takes scripts from a movie for example sometimes acting out multiple characters. Speech helps with accents and dialog. Cummins conveys , "Speech helps me present things in class with ease and confidentially, even if I .don't know what I'm doing In the future speech will help me be able to present in front of crowds with no problems. "

Tournaments are also a place where

2015-2016 Speech Team

LSE forensics students learn to conned with other people including other teams. These tournaments consist of three preliminary rounds and an award ceremony at the end. These tournaments take place at different schools. Most every school has its own day to host a tournament.

So no matter where the LSE Forensics students compete there always with each other learning how to grow as not only speakers, but students and friends.

Ben Friend (l ]) has been recognized by multiple people and places for his pottery skills. But another side to Ben is he does speech for a number of reasons. From getting to hang out with people that you usually woutdn't get to hang out with, to improving his social skills.

"Communication skills are skills you will use the rest of your life whether that is verbal or non-verbal," said Friend.

Abram Turner(]]) has been on the speech and debate team both since his brother, Viktor, encouraged him to do debate. He has won many competitions and placed highly in lots of others. "Speech and debate have made me more confident. I don 't care what others think about me," said Turner.

Southeast's publications

Southeast's publications department contains three different forms of writing , The Clarion, The Shield and From The Depths. When you think about those you might just lump them into the same category , each doing similar things to the others but in reality they are all very different.

The Shield, more commonly known as the yearbook is a very popular publication. Not only when you get it , but also when you look back at it in the future after high school. This project is an all year class that students can take during fifth period. The only prerequisite is that you must to have taken photojournalism.

Abby Brittenham (12) has been on the Shield staff since sophomore year when the advisor, Amanda Krivda, asked her to join This year _ she is the Editor In Chief.

"The yearbook is difficult because we have to pick what events to cover," said Brittenham.

From the Depths is a magazine composed of short f idion, poetry, photography, and artwork submitted from the student body. They are always looking

for new and interesting literary pieces to publish The literary magazine won a superior rating in 2015. They were competing against other magazines across the nation.

Olivia Miller Jl2) has been on the staff for the literary magazine since her junior year when she was asked to join.

"The literary magazine isn 't fact, " said Miller, "So its based off what we find interesting in the student body ."

Samandre Miley (12) joined the literary magazine around the same time as Miller did. "We have pieces submjtted, it just comes to us. " said Miley.

The Clarion is our school 's newspaper and a big part of the publications department.

"It's really fun bonding with the newspaper team ," said Madison Vanak (12).

So the next time that you pick up an edition of the Clarion, From the Depths or the yearbook just know how _different they are from short term stories, to entire years to pieces made in the heads of your fellow Knights.

Future Collaboration

The Counseling Center > Schedule Changes

At the beginning of eighth period until four o 'clock College Club meets the first and third Tuesday of every month , which is twice as many times as last year.

last year we only did College Club once a month and we increased it because we thought it was important to get more students there and participating to get some extra assistance for their post secondary planning " said Kelley Winter coordinator of College Club and Southeast counselor.

This year , a Junior Varsity College Club was started for 9th and 10th graders. Their meetings fall on club day during school.

'We bought them all a book called "21 To Do ' Lists for High School "-it's basically a countdown to college book " said Winter.

JV students prepare themselves for more preparations and finalizations they'll make later on in high school. Students already in the second half of their high school career can get on the computers and apply to college, apply for scholarships , and update their resume. Whatever they need help with, the counselors are always there to assist. College club started two years ago when Southeast was awarded a grant from Education Ouest.

"The grant is $20,000 each year for four years. I had to go to a meeting and become eligible to write the grant and then two years ago, I wrote it and contacted Education Ouest and said Southeast is really interested in doing this. They only gave it to three Class A schools and there were maybe 16-18 schools that got the grant [in total;] it's very limited. Lincoln High and us were the two schools that got it for Lincoln. We could [then] start spending the money to help students have more access to college and that's what the grant does," informed Winter.

$20,000 is a lot right? Where does it all go?

' We give them t-shirts and we have giveaways just to make it fun and a lot of our money goes to food ," Winter laughed.

With food provided during each club meeting, that statement isn 't too far-fetched but there are more worthwhile things the money is being put forward to.

' In addition to having snacks for people and opening up the computer lab, we also take students on college visits. We buy students ' lunch when we go and we go on a charter bus so it's more comfortable. This year in the fall , we attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney , the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the University of Nebraska at Omaha , Wayne State, Southeast Community College in Milford, and Nebraska Wesleyan. I think it's great that students get exposed to different college campuses," told Winter.

Planning for all of the college visits is a time consuming and strenuous task that Wint er saves for the summertime, where she 'll have the most time to carefully plan out the school year ahead.

'It takes a lot of coordinating with the colleges because they're very busy, so we have to find a time that works for them. Then I have to get all the permission forms ready and advertise it. We use a lot of social media, so we put things on Twitter, Facebook, and lnstagram to let students know when things are available to them. " said Wint er

In addition to scheduling , she also coordinates chaperones for these events, whether it be counselors or teachers. Mrs. Winter has also gotten the staff involved by asking them to wear college apparel and to talk about their experiences to students

Snacks and Scholarships. Spencer Stream (12) attaches his transcript for the Susan Thompson Buffet scholarship application after school at a college club meeting. The scholarship is for students planning to stay in state and go to a public school. ·1 try to go as often as I can I knew they would be able to help with college applications and scholarships. I don't think I would've been able to complete the Buffet application without going to college club,· said Stream.

especially if they were a first generation college goer so students can relate and be inspired.

"We want to create a college culture-and when we talk about college we 're not just talking four year public or private schools-we're talking about students that are going on to get a two year degree, students who are going on to the military who are going to get an internship or apprenticeship. Any kind of degree or furthering your education is important," remarked Winter.

To support that belief, the counseling center has a college enrollment goal just like they have a graduation goal.

"When we applied for the grant our college going rate was 7 6%. Our goal is to increase that by 10% in 4 years, and this year we 're at 78%," informed Winter.

While we still have room to increase our percentage in the next two years , College Club has seen much success, especially during a four-day "apply to College " event in October at the media center this year.

' We encouraged all seniors that had not submitted college applications to come up to the media center where w e were all day, so students could just come in and hammer out their applications," explained Winter.

More than 150 students applied to 35-40 different colleges in and outside of Nebraska, and that's from those four days alone. Over 225 students in all have applied to college through college club.

"We would say congratulations and best of luck. We would love it if our students contacted us, telling us about what they're doing and their success stories. W e always just want to wish them w e ll' smiled Winter.

Go (to college) Knights!

Writing for the Money. Hoegh's

Alex Gonzales (12) types up her essay for the Susan Thompson Buffet scholarship. Upon receiving the scholarship, she could receive paid full tuition plus books and fees. 'I needed help on my essay and she [Mrs. Meuting] gave me advice on what to add,· said Gonzales.

Emily Hoegh, former counselor at Park Middle School for the past two years, is learning to be a Knight and a high school counselor, since it's her first year as both.

"My team is an amazing group of counselors to work with. My team has rallied behind me to help me learn all the things I need to know as a high school counselor. They've been awesome at answering all my questions and letting me bug them everyday all day long with things I don't know," smiled Hoegh.

Along with a constructive support system, Ms. Hoegh has been welcomed by our school's pride, which is the coolest in her opinion.

"I was excited for a different change and Southeast just has a certain pride about the school; students and teachers love it here and parents are very excited about what's going on here. The

tips for College

Bound Knights

-Ask questions

-If you don't now. it's okay

-Go in open minded

-Know what your strengths/passions are

-Take risks

-Try something new

"It was really weird getting told that I was getting switched counselors my senior year, but she's very helpful and kind; I appreciated her help. She wrote me a letter of recommendation, she helped me in finding GPAs and getting transcripts sent in, and she helped me through my application process because I was applying to so many schools that it got confusing," said Griffith.

Without Ms. Hoegh and the counseling center, Griffith would've been on her own amidst a pile of application papers to the five different schools she applied to.

"I feel this year, and I don't know if it's just because I'm a senior and I'm paying attention more," she quickly added," [but it seems] they've added a lot more help. It's just been very organized and I would rather not try to figure it out myself and ask for help instead of messing something up. I mean it's their job and they know what they re doing. They can make things a lot more clear. It's better to not be humble about it and think you can figure it out; you have one shot to try to fulfill what you can."

So you think you want to go to college? biggest thing was post secondary planning with kidsthose things really interested me. In middle school, I get to talk to them about their future, but I don't really get to help them see it through," said Hoegh.

"The role we play is advocating Have you considered what you'll major in, the for students best needs in all ideal location, scholarship and grant

One of the biggest differences she's noted is the amount of time that she spends changing schedules. In middle school, students are more on a set course, aspects and being a support for applications?- the list goes on and on, but al l students" don't fret. The counseling center has you covered.

whereas in high school, there's so many options and so much fiexibility, which only makes it harder on the counselors.

"I think the rest of the counseling department feels this way too- that there's a lot to do with scheduling and we miss out on more of the stuff we love to do, which is working with students. A lot of counselors like to work with that personal/social piece. We like to work more one-on-one with kids, with less computer/office time," admitted Hoegh.

Ms. Hoegh is most excited to watch the seniors graduate this year; it's one of the most fulfilling aspects of being a counselor. She knows she'll be so proud of each and every Knight, especially those who were able to summon the academic and physical strength to meet the requirements in time after maybe what was a close call.

"I love working one-on-one with students on personal and social things; that's my passion: problem solving," gushed Hoegh. Many students have gotten to work closely with Hoegh regarding both private and public matters. In regards to the public matter, Taylor Griffith (12) has received a lot of college help from her.

"Unfortunately, I feel like high schoolers view the counseling center as a place to get your schedule changed. As a department, we're working really hard to let kids know what's going on academic wise with post secondary planning, community opportunities, and scholarships. Our hope is that this is a place where kids come to get individualized help; we can do so much more than changing a schedule. The role we play is advocating for students' best needs in all aspects and being a support for all students," concluded Hoegh.

As a student herself, Griffith feels that her peers don't take well enough advantage of the counseling center.

"I feel like a lot of kids only go to the counseling center for classroom and scheduling changes " agreed Griffith, "and thats how I was for a really long time but they have a lot of resources. There's a lot more than just schedule changes. The counseling center is a place to help you through your time at Southeast and to help you through your future."

Take it from Griffith and don t be afraid to stop in the counseling center is full of friendly faces more than willing to help you out with whatever you may need.

I Social Media

I I Clubs bring together Med ia Center and commun ity

,----,-~- The Media Center, as we all know, is I the place where you go if you want to check out a book, or perhaps more commonly, use a computer lab. However, something that some might not know is that the Media Center serves as the home for two clubs, A Little Knight Reading and Knight Vision , whose club activities go far beyond Southeast.

Earlier in the year, A Little Knight Reading put on a book drive, where students were encouraged to bring in and donate their gently-used books. It was organized by two students, Jasmyn Nash (11) and Jadyn Pohlman (ll) and ended up collecting over 400 books for those in need

"We ran it for about two weeks , and then donated the books to Saratoga, the People 's City Mission, and Cedars [home for children]," Nash e xplained.

A Little Knight Reading also has two times that it meets, during school on club days and after school one day out of every month, with students attending one, the other, or both

However, the after school session is somewhat unique in that residents of The Preserve, a retirement home, come in and discuss the books with the students. And at the end of every year, they have a celebration

"At the end of the year, we'll go over to The Preserve, and have ice cream , and play Wii bowling , and have a sort of a celebration," e xplained Sheila Schumacher, the club sponsor, "that's been really wonderful, and the intergenerational piece has just been great. "

Knight Vision by its very nature often goes beyond the school, recording and streaming varsity sports games And for newer members that might need to brush up on their skills , Kni ght Vision does a yearly visit to HuskerVision which is responsible for all of the video during Husker Football games. In fact, a former member of Knight Vision was offered a job dur ing a previous

visit and now works at HuskerVision.

"We went to HuskerVision last year as a tour , and they were asking all sorts of programs, and this one particular young man, every time they asked what programs they use and if anyone was familiar with them , his hand always went up all the time, and they said 'y ou need to contact us, we want you to be a part of HuskerVision next year' ," said Julie Nelson, Knig~t Vision club sponsor.

Knight Vision also took a trip to Papillion this Basketball season , where they met with Papillion 's video production club.

"They invited us to come up there and have dinner with them , and then we met with them and kind of talked about some of their roles ," Ms. Nelson e xplained, "our girls and our guys were playing basketball at Papillion, so we filmed with them to do our up~treaming, but we did it with some of their equipment as well as some of our own. "

These two clubs , with their activities reaching beyond the media center , make it a truly social place to be.

Morale Support

Support staff finds joy in helping students make a difference

Sief Mahagoub is one of the four Campus Supervisors here at Southeast. According to him, being a part of the support staff means that they are the first line of response and relay things.

"We 're like first responders, always there to help first ," said Mahagoub.

Mahagoub believes that he makes a positive impact on the students, by doing things like singing to students, making them laugh, and being there for students when they need someone to talk to and share their stories with. The impact that he has on the students is what keeps him going.

"Telling me their stories motivates me to come back and keep helping them everyday," said Mahagoub as he stood with a grin of his face.

The reason Mahagoub believes it's important to have support staff in place is to help students stay on track.

' I am much happier because I am impacting students lives and helping them for the better," said Mahagoub

The main off ice is the part of the school that makes everything run; this includes many secretaries.

Nicol woody is one of the people who helps to keep everything running in the main office. Woody said, "Students are generally polite and friendly. They make my job pleasant and that translates into accuracy. "

Woody, a secretary in the main office, would agree with Mahagoub in that students teach her to do her job better. Woody says that this job has affected her personally because she thinks about the kids outside of school and hope that they 're doing well.

' If the kids are in a bad mood, I can be a smiling face in their day," said Woody.

This is one of the many ways she believes her attitude affects the atmosphere of the school

Sara Bennett , the treatment nurse in the nurse's office, said, "Trying to maintain a positive attitude is important for all of us as Southeast.·

According to Bennett, she believes she has

impacted the school by providing the reassurance that a nurse is always available if needed.

Bennett said, "I learn so much from being a part of a diverse student and population. "

This is one way the job of being a nurse has affected her personally. The students help Bennett do her job better by helping her to remember that each students situation is unique and how she handles the situation needs to be the most beneficial to each students specific needs.

"LSE is a welcoming community and a fun place to work, " said Bennett, "I enjoy nursing and high school age groups most of all. "

• Southeast has a wonderful team of supporters and at the end of the day they will always be there to help in anyway possible. The support staff is a big part of keeping the school running and what would any school be without them?

A Little Knight Reading

Sheila Schumacher in the Media Center has a club called A Little Knight Reading during second period.

Cassandra Nash (9) says , "I read books that I didn't ever see myself reading and I actually enjoy them. "

They read a book and when the club meets they discuss the book and talk about what they read. They also recommend books for other people in the group, as well as , peers outside the group. Nash recommends this club for anyone that loves to read.

Drama Club is in the Auditorium during with Mrs. Svoboda during second period. It's for anyone who loves theater and wants to get involved in production

"It's a chance for us to discuss about the theater here at LSE and elsewhere in Nebraska," said Hunter Sieckmeyer (12).

They went to see A Gentleman 's Guide to Love and Murder , Newsies at the Orpheum theater in Omaha. "We discuss how to stay involved in theater whether it's on stage, in a production, or doing technical work. We also do things like theater games and improv," said Sieckmeyer. He says the drama club is a great group and says it's like one big community.

German -Club

Drama Clu

German Club goes beyond the German language by also exploring German culture.

"We learn more about the cultural influences of Germany than the actual language itself; we learn about culture and history," said Eve Buettner (10)

The club br ings together students who are either current German students or interested in German culture to study and discuss culture.

"We have a lot of fun, and we just hang out Buettner said.

Pitch Club

Pitch derives from the British game, All Fours. Pitch is a tricktaking game where each player is dealt six cards. Each player ca n bid on the value of his or her hand and plays to take tricks and get points.

"I like Pitch [Club] because my grandma got me into Pitch. I lik e going , I have some friends in the club," Smith said.

Psychology Club

Psychology is a class offered here at Southeast, but Psychology Club offers students the opportun ity to learn even more about the human brain.

"We listen to speakers in d ifferent areas of psy cholog y. We talk about different aspects of psychology,' Brianna Knu dson (1 2 ) e xplains

The club br ings in e xperts from the commun ity to discuss their kn ow ledge of psychology The students a lso participate in different act iviti es that demonstrate areas of psycholog y.

The Knights Strike Back

Three strikes and you 'r e IN

At Parkway Lanes , the Southeast bowling team congregates to practice weekly and every weekend they participate in a meet or tournament just as any sport would; yet theres still controversy over whether bowling should be considered a hobby, game, or sport.

·you can have your own opinion , but bowling takes a lot more than you might think Bowling is just as likely to make you sweat as tennis is ," countered Colin Green (11).

But of course, sweating and the amount of sweat produced aren 't the only determining factors for what makes a sport a sport.

"A lot of people say it's not a sport and I guess its kind of controversial but it is on TV. Thats what I always say [to counter] that there 's professional bowling ' added Sierra Johnson (12).

Not only is bowling professional but it can be enjoyed recreationally throughout the years.

"It's lifetime, you can do it until you're 90 said Johnson.

One of the reasons people of any age can bowl is because it isn't very physically demanding

"I t takes a lot of mental skill some physical skill too but the main part is the mental [aspect]," said Green

With the underestimated amount of focus a bowler needs, a suitable environment is one with fewer distractions.

"It's a smaller sport, so there 's less peop le and you really work as a team and int eract with everybody " said Green.

While bowling for leisure is on a person to person bas is competi tive bowling takes the total number of points earned from each team versus one another. As the bowler steps up to the lane alone, the weight of the rest of the team lies on their shoulders-but that pressure only makes them stronger

"We started off pretty good and we really carr ied that

momentum and grew stronger as a team," said Green.

A sol id foundation built steady stairs to success.

We both [boys and girls] made our goal to make the finals-that was our first goal and sadly we got second, but at least we made it. We got on TV too , which was our second goal ," shared Johnson

Just like the professionals Johnson refers back to when she, along with the rest of her team, were broadcasted for others to see. However , theres a slight difference in the kind of recognition they receive.

Since Ive been bowling I've noticed more of a disconnection between Southeast and what we re doing and us in general ," acknowledged Green

With the obvious lack of a bowling alley at the school, its eas y to feel cut off--especially when participating in a sport outs ide of the mainstream.

Once we bowl with the other teams it feels like its high school but it feels like a club sport [otherwise]" said Johnson

To be able to compete against schools from other districts and across the state the bowlers must train their minds and bodies.

"We usually take up six lanes and then people who come in can bowl. We specifically work on varying lane conditions. After a lot of peop le bowl on the lanes and they don t get oiled for a while the oi l has gotten trapped on the balls so theres less oil and it changes the lane conditions," explained Green

Because theres only so much to do in preparation for the state of their lanes , they practice other skills to better themselves.

"We do balance drills and one step and then we work on 7 /1 0 pin sparing " said Johnson.

All this practice took them to finals at State--look at them roll!

Closing

For seni ors, th e ir new connections a t Southeast came t o a close. As they embar k on their new journey to col lege, or workin g their dream job, they will remember a ll t e faces they sa w and he people t ey met. These connections last a lif et im e for gradua t es.

The ir ne w journe y might be scary, but with the ad vi ce and skill s taught to us b y teach ers, admin istrators, or fe llow students will help us th ro ug h our rough patches. W e may not cross paths with as many people as w e used to, but w e will a lwa y s remember the moments shared in the lunchroom, the long walk up to C-Lot, heading down the cro wd ed hallways to the pep rallies in Prosch, or the jo kes told rushing down to F-Hall.

As our fight song says, "W e will show you th at w e 're behind y ou a ll the way ." Our teachers pushed us to do our best w or k poss ibl e, and our friends stuck w ith us through anything These memories and connections made at Southeas t will last a lifetime

The int ersec ti on is the focus in th is picture to show that e v en though Southeast is in the past for seniors, they will a lw a ys have the connections th a t they made.

Leav ing the building for the last tim e will be hard, but know ing that everything will sti ll be there makes the transition to our next journe y a littl e bit easier. As w e go out and make new connections we will always rem e mber those made at Southeast.
