n August 20th, 2,033 students came through the doors of Southeast from summers of traveling, sports playing, and relaxing with friends . Some entered for the first time, others looked forward to another great year with friends and activities
Southeast started the school year under the direction of Dr. Patrick Hunter-Pirtle, formerly an associate principal, ta king Dr. Nancy Becker's place Dr Gary Czapla began his first year here as an associate-principal to ta ke Hunter-Pirtle's place. vVith the addition of Lincoln Southwest and Lincoln North Star High School, Southeast is looking forward to big changes in population and school structure . Plans for renovation have been approved, and within two years, portables will be a memory, the school will be air conditioned, and ninth graders will attend Southeast.
The Shield staff thought about all these new changes about to take place when orain storming for a theme We also thought about the importance of high school and what this time in our lives is all about : making discoveries, building relationships, and trying new things We wanted something original, traditional yet modern, a theme to remember 'livin' the Knight Life" was decided upon for many reasons . First of all, we want this year's book to not just be a documentat ion of our school year, but a book of how we lived at this point in time Along with attending Southeas~ comes a certain sense of pride, tradition, and spirit This year's yearboo k inv ites you to take a closer look at daily activities at Southeast, our outstanding academics, clubs and community projects, and excellence in sports . A yearboo k is not only meant to be a reference to your school picture or what sports you played; it represents memories made and subJects learned as we live it up in all aspects of our lives as Southeast Knights by Andrea Littrell

What would summer be without those great summer camps? It used to be that parents would send their unwil ling kids off to camps for a week or two of silence Now, however, Southeast students are rushing off to camps to improve on the things they love doing or Just to have a great time and create th ose unforgettable memories.
Members of the Southeast Marching Band attended a wee klong band camp on the UNL campus from July 17-2 1 According to senior Amanda Smith, the main focus of the camp was to "pra cti ce musi c and marching t o perform for the Shrine Parade "
That same week, the Shirettes attended camp Also held at the UNL campus, Universal Dance Association camp taught the girls how to beco me better dancers and also brought the squad very close together in only four days. "Camp is su ch a wonderful experience because we improved so much with the danc ing aspect of our squad, but we also really got to know ea ch other for the first time . It's a great bonding experience," said senior Ja ci Grimes
From June 19- 2 2 the three cheerleading squads competed and pra cti ced daily at a Cheer camp . Soph omore Cassie Henning said the squads learned "ho w to work together as a squad in t ough situations," li ke when the entire squad got trapp ed in the elevator when it got stu ck All three squads won Spirit Sti cks daily al ong with other numerous awards

A KNIGHT I
Students spend a royal evening dancing the night away at Homecom ing.
V/ith homecoming only ten days away, decorations had been planned, t-shirts had been ordered, cheerleaders and Shirettes were ready for the pep rally, and football players were pumped up for the game. Then on September 1 1, as Southeast students, teachers, and administrators stared at the television in dismay at the terrorist attacks on the United States, they realized their lives as Americans would be forever changed. Not even homecoming could go on as planned.
The administration immediately realized that the theme, ''Arabian Knights", would be controversial after the attacks by the terrorists. They worked with Student Council to create a new theme in less than tv o weeks . Student Council member, Laura Obrist commented, ''They were just trying to be c.areful. But it w.as upseting because we had .all been loo ing forward to our theme. '/eh.ad even began ma ing our big decoration, a genie in a bottle, but we were able to change it to .a Jester to fit the new theme. 1 Unfortunately, not all the changes could be made in time. The professional pictures ta en by The Picture Man cit the dcince still hcid "Arcibic:in Knights" printed .across the bottom. the new theme, 11A Knight In Came lot", under ay, the hallays were once c:igain filled ith tal of homecoming: where one was going to dinner, hat one was Vvec:iring, who one v, as going with Then Southeast encountered another challenge. The game as original! planned to t.a e place the day before the dance, on Thursday, September 20. However, the Nebras a Hus. ers had to reschedule their football game against Rice for Thursday because of the chaos
and uncertainty going on in the United States at the time. The Southeast game sheduled for the same night of the Husrer game had to be reschede ld for for 4:00pm on Friday before the dance. Even after hair appointments, dinner reservations, and the pep rally had to be rescheduled for Friday, students still continued to loo forward to the Homecoming activ it ies.
Homecoming finally arrived. On Thursday night, the football players got ready for the next day's g.ame. "V/e all went to Hy-Vee or Valentino's to eat as .a team .and go over scouting reports Some of the guys watched films And then the Shirettes came to our houses to wish us lucr and tuc us 1n," senior football playerJa e Gibbens s.aid .
Friday at school the hallways were cluttered with splashes of blac and gold and school spirit Football players and marching band members' loc ers were covered with glittering good luc signs, students wore their homecoming t -shirts, and the cheerle.aders and Shirettes wore the football players ' Jerseys to show their support for the team. Southeast cheered on the football pL3yers at the homecoming pep rally. Even Mayor Don V/esleyJQined the spirit,~ ishing the players good luc He attended the rally to introduce Southeast1s s ' ate par pro j ect At the game against Fremont students demonstrated more school spirit as they cheered on the nights.

As the weeks wore on, America tried to rebuild from one of the worst attacks in its history The Trade Center towers, symbols of American strengths ince 19 7 3, collapsed Just minutes after the planes flew into them. But where buildings were destroyed, American resolve was strengthened. Red, white, and blue flags began maJestically soar ing from cars, buildings, and houses. In Lincoln, Wyuka cemetery organized a flag waving on O Street in support of our co untry LSE students decked their cars with red, white, and blue paint Senior Vanessa Bro uillette painted an American flag on the back of her j eep. Brouillette said, "I realized that during this time of need Americans needed a positi ve reminder of how great America really is ."
Nowhere was American pride more prevalent than in February, when Salt Lake City, Utah hosted the XIX Winter Olympics American flag s flew high, and other nations flew the red, white and blue to support their neighbors. The American spirit lifted the U.S.A to 34 medals, by far their highest output in any

Olympic games in history
As the months wore on, attacks on suspected terrorists continued. Americans tried to return to their normal lives, but it was evident that the September 1 1th attacks had permanent!y affected people's lives Despite being forever changed, Americans displayed pride in themselves, in their leaders, and in their country As President George V Bush noted shortly after the attacks, "The resolve of our great nation is being tested But make no mistake : will show the world that we will pass this test " In the months following September 11th, Americans proved their leader right by displaying their pride in their country, and standing tal l in the face of adversity.

Last December/ in order to carry out their semester community service pro j ect, N.ation.al Honor Society memb~rs braved the chilling winter .air .as they r.ang bells for the ;Jcllvation Army outside of the Wells Fargo Bank downtown .and the K-Mart on 56th .and Highway 2. The students volunteered in groups of two .and rot.ated on two-hour shifts, contributing over 20 hours of time to the community'.
As the sun went down in the evening , the frigid nights presented .a ch.allenge to those who volunteered for the I.ate shifts. However, fellow volunteers provided hot chocol.ate in order to help the ringers fight the cold.
After the September 1 1th attacks, the heightened awareness of ch.arit.able c.auses was clearly evident. Wanting to choose a project which would indicate their commitment
to the community, members of the ,NHS community service committee selected the ringing bells for the Salvation Army
'We discussed what worked well for NHS chapters in previous years, and we agreed that bell-ringing would be a gre.at opportunity to get NHS members involved in the community/' explained NHS president Keith-Wysocki.
Senior Joe David was surprised at the of don.ations they received while ringing bells for just ci few hours
11The Southeast station collected so much money that we had to get .a new buc ket during th~ day," said D.avid. 11The

Tors · year 14 students graduated early, six of whom are juniors. Junior Chris Kipre said, "It is sometning Ive wanted to do since eighth grade. Yeah it was hard work, but in the end it paid off. 11
You might be thinking that 1s not fair, but anyone who is committed enough to go to summer school and get their • courses approved by the Lincoln Public Schools can do it also.
, -Kiple doesnt feel like -he missed out by graduatirig early. 111feel like lhave compacted all the fun of my Junior cind senior years into one; I got the best of both worlds. 11
The majority of students that -graducite early are not juniors but are seniors. Tanja Lovric is one such senior who graduated mid term. She said that by graduati~g early she can get c1 head start on her educ.at ion in college and her career.

Though there were many more joys to come . She fit perfectly into our family, her school and community Never once compl2 ining of school or activities and always w.anting to leJrn more of our American ways She loved her classes, being in the orchestra and of course, singing When asked if she would like to miss a day of school to travel to another city, she quickly responded, "NO, I love my school here!"
She .also loved her newly established American friends. Maggy's parents wanted her home after September 1 1th and her response was th.at "I need to be feeling what my American friends are feeling and take those feelings home, to Germany. It is import.ant that my American friends know that Germany is s.ad also."

We try to forget/ that it wont be the same. •
But the pain remains( thetears fall forth
Now moving on/ for .all ifs worth
From losing a friend/ we've gained in return.
Things do change, and from th.at we le.am

Drivers education is offered mainly for sophomores with learner's permits so they can get thier Provisional Operators Pe r mits when they turn 16 It is a quarter class . Two days a week are spent in class learning about driving laws and safety The rest of the time 1s study hall, unless it 1s your day to drive "My favorite thing was the opportunity to dri v e," said sophomo r e Andy Moellering
Graham Little, sophomore, said his favorite thing about drivers ed was, "study hall every other day and the drive time "

Mmmmm, the smell of .food lingering cir ound from the cooking clcisses ccin be whiffed while one is trciveling ciround D Hall.
Other than the thought of food, FCS als o relays to a student how to develop positive self concepts, interact effectively with others, use critical thinking, and prepare for their futures These classes also meet applied arts requirements
Classes offered at Southeast include the topics of child development, clothing, nutrition & food, housing, and human development These FCS classes can help a student in a future career in health & human services, arts & human ities, engineering & technology, and business & information systems. In the last few years , enrollment in these classes have skyrocketed.
Human Behavior, Families in Crisis, Infants & Toddlers, and Creative Clothing & Design teacher Rose Kastl believes that her classes teach students practical life skills that they will build on and use the rest of their lives
Junior Eliza Bachman from Cultural Food stated, "I like the food the best. The most exciting thing in the class is the food and the cultures behind the food. had the opportunity to learn how to make Chinese food and we also got to make cookies "
Senior Chelsea Mcllwain remarked on her experiences with Cultural Foods, "It's a good class to learn about d_ifferent goods and the wonderful test of different cultures "
Junior Emily Hadley also enJoyed the class, "I have been able to fulfill my requirement and I get to work with my friends Kandra (Tucker) and Collette (Beetz) Mrs. Goff is a great teacher and makes it really interesting "
Interior design is another class offered that allows students the chance to prepare for their futures Senior Jessica Lee stated that "I will get experience in the sub Ject (design) before going to college "

THE ART OF EXPRESSION
Very few activities in the world give people complete freedom. Art, however, is a release with no boundaries and no rules.
Students who participated in art classes said their proJects were releases. When they entered the huge art room, Iined with works in progress and filled with natural Iight, they were free to express their feelings in ways they didn't know possible .
Senior Haley Piper, a portfolio dr a wing student, explained, "Art classes are my sanctuary :n school. I can come here and do whatever I want What I do is not right or wrong, and it can't really be graded because it comes from me, not a text book "
With names such as 'Expressions of Compexity," Kristina Tuckers' drawing, it is easy to see that these talented students• eagerly used all the freedom they were given Tucker said she feels art is not only her release, but it's part of who she is. It's part of her entirety Many other students agreed They could not picture a day going
by without having the r elease that art allows them to feel Piper agreed , ''It soothes me I feel relaxed when I draw. I love art and feel most comforatble when I'm doing it "
Many students began taking art classes as a chance to express themselves, a chance to show the world who they are V/hen a person looks at a painting or picture, they can see the artist's soul; they can get a view of what the person was feeling and gain a better understanding of who the artist is
Others enrolled for a chance to simply see what they could create, to let their mind wonder and let their hands do the work Junior Corey Minchow said he en j oys art because "it's interesting to see what you can come up with "
But, no matter what reasons they have, everyone does art for fun. What
other class can you go to and get plain dirty? Where else do you have a chance to have something be completely your own, something that only you completely understand? else can you find every color of the rainbow, every shape known and every emotion possible? There is nowhere else students can have so much creative fun with all these artisy things
In junior Ashley Felkers' opinion, the best part of her art work comes at the end "I like finishing a piece and looking at it, feeling proud of what I've done and I love to see people's reactions to it "
Everything that an artist works on freedom, expression and creativity - - a ll come together in the end to create the perfect piece

SINGING THEIR HEARTS OUT
"! think that choirs are the best part of my life No matter how bad my day is going, l can walk into class and the music and people put a smile on my face!" Junior Chansonniere member Britney Osbern commented If it's one thing no other school has, it's eight choirs of spirited people singing their hearts out
The choirs sing at various places in the community such as retirement homes, V/ells Fargo ban , middle schools, and the country clubs This year, the all-girls varsity choir, Chansonniere, had the opportunity to sing at the National Cross Country Junior Olympics, singing the national anthem for over 5,000 people
"! love singing, and l feel like l benefit a lot from the interactions with other people in my choirs," senior co - president Cara Harwood said
The sophomore giris choir Belles Voix gives sophomores a place to go and bond with other students new to the schoo!.
"Singing has made school a lot better l have a lot of fun in class and have mer a lot of new friends sol know a lot more people in the halls that l wouldn't know without being involved in choir," Mandy Schnakenberg stated .
The sophomore swing choir, Knight Sounds, is made up of seven guys and seven girls who sing as well as dance Knight Sounds members must try out as ninth graders in the areas of s1ng1ng and dancing.
"lt makes some people really nervous, but l don't mind it so much anymore," sophomore Jamie Unger said "The auditions are not threatening or anything, and being 1n the group is well worth it!"
The mixed varsity choir, Ars Nova, appreciates the closeness of being 1n a smaller choir to become closer to everyone "My favorite thing about Ars Nova is the friends we make it's like a party everyday!" exclaimed junior Tara Erlandson
Students have to go through a try - out
process to become members of the select groups This process can become stressful. 'Trying out is very competitive and it can be nerve-wrac 1ng but every group at Southeast is great and l have a lot of pride knowing that l have been fortunate enough to be a part of LSE music groups," senior Ars Nova member Abby Tuttle said All choir members ali e agreed, "LSE choirs are number one!!

WHO'S UP FOR A LITTLE SING ALONG?
Vo ices of Southeast students resonated through the cramped M-hall, the small but tight music community at Southeast . Joey Hartman and Melissa Noonan's four vocal music groups, Bel Canto, Countesses and Noblemen, Court Choir and Chamber Choir epitomize talent fine tuned by tea chers. In between melodies, something else can be heard through the M - wing laughter
"My experiences in Court Choir are awes ome The people in the choir make it so mu ch fun and also the teacher It makes me happy coming to this class everyday, because it's a break from all the other stressful things in my day and you can Just forget about ev - • erythi ng and just focus on singing Even though sometimes it can be hard work, it really pays off. We do well in competitions and every other year we get to go on a trip which is really awesome," said Junior Jonathon Brunott .
'We were easily the coolest group of the year. Although she yelled a lot, we still got a lot done," said sophmore Zach Mutchie of Chamber Choir
"Even though we are such a large choir, we are still very close. Everyone cares a lot about the music and 'what they are doing." added Junior Laine Norton of Court Choir.
The singers who make up the madrigal choir Bel Canto donned their colorful medieval outfits and hc:aded to Kansas City for the annual Renassiance Festival, where they sang in front of huge crowds of people
"In Bel Canto we work really hard, but we have a lot of fun in and out of class. The
costumes are a pain to wear, but they fit the time period, and create a good feeling of ensemble," commented Junior Jill LeGrange.
The four choirs made trips to Lincoln's middle schools for additional performances and some great publicity . Many curren t vocal music performers can remember being enchanted by the choirs when they were in se venth, eighth and ninth grade.
"I was impressed with such the amazing sound that came from such a large group of people They worked together and made it sound great " Norton concluded

S1RIKE UP THE BAND
Whether a student has played an instrument since elementary school or they Just pic ked it up in high school, there are fun challenges and accomplishments when participating in instrumental music Being involved in a music group such as the Orchestra, Symphonic B and and Wind Ensemble gives students a chance to experience playing their instrument in a group, performing at important events and making new friends.
Michael Swartz led the orchestra, a group consisting of stringed instruments such as the violin and cello The orchestra tackled all kinds of pieces, from class ica l to modern favorites They performed for various Nebraska music edua cato rs at the Lied Center this year winning the NMEA (Nebraska Music Educators Asociation) Ensemble Award. Sophomore Laura Olson said that orchestra is a "good way to start the morning" and that 11t he people and the music are a great combination "
Wind Ensemb le played many modern
favorites, mixed in with classic orchestral music. The clarinet, oboe, tromobone, flute, and various percussion instruments highlight the group, which was led by R J Metteer and Dav id Young
Many of the same types of instruments that are found in Wind Ensemble could be found in the Symphonic Ba nd, also led by R J. Metteer. The symphonic band showcased many different musical styles Junior symphonic band member Ben Fernean enJoyed the 11 good music and bus trips" and also liked the 11 great friends" he made in the group Fernean noted that one of. the group's primary accomplishments was 11playing in the Holiday Bow l."
During first semester, Symphonic Band was the well known Marching Band that played at the vars Ity home football games. 11 I love
going to football games and basketball games with marching band and pep band," said senior Josh Maul
Music students are adamant about the importance that music plays in school Stephanie Kersten , a Junio r in symhonic band noted , "It 's important to have music progams in school All kids should be in at least on e music class "
Wh ether a student took tf1e class for friendships or because they wanted to keep on playing their instruments, many realize the importance of music in schools and want it to stay that way
- By Chari ie Stephan and Lindsay Placzek
This is classicl. Seniors (L to R) Susan Hanna, Justin Ma , and Katie Brestel practice their classical music in orchestra . Ma says he stays in orchestra because of his commitment to the group and the friendships he has made .
"The play was awesome," Schmidt remar ed "You really bond and get close to the other cast members " had to cram rehe arsals down into two weeks, so it got really stressf ul sometimes," com -
"It was crazy," added sophomore Jenny Atwood "V/e only practiced for a wee before state " At the stat e competition though, the Southeast team put in a strong perform:::ince won the Best Actor award, for which senior Justin Runge was also nominated Atwood was nominated for the Best Actress honor
"The best moment of the whole experience was right after the state competition," V/eiss remarked. "We knew we had performed so well."

During the school year, members of NHS participated in many projects in the community, including ringing bells for the Salvation Army during the holidays.
"The project has been successful in previous years, and it was a good way to get a lot of people involved," said senior Cara Harwood.
"The best part of this year was seeing everything come together so well," concluded President Keith Wysocki.

Thought provoking clubs help students "blast-off"
Computer Club, Math Club, Roundtable, Roe et Club, and Science Olympiad allow students to pursue their. academic interests while challenging their intelligence, creat1v1ty, and problem solving skills
For students interested 1n ta king what they've learned in science class to another level, Science Olympiad allows students to compete in competitions which challenge their abilities to problem solve and perform highly difficult and specialized tasks. These competitions include student - made water roeets, catapults, and other devices that perform tas s better and faster Students research one or two topics of interest for the competitions
Sponsor Mark James explained, "Those who succeed at the highest levels of competition are often given full scholarships to maJor universities "
Roe et Club grew out of the intense popularity of Science Olympiad's water rockets. The club does not compete in any formal competition, but the race is fierce between members to create water roe ets which produce parachutes at high altitudes and perform other specialized f un ctions
For those students who can't get enough of those mind - boggling problems on their math assignments, Math Club gives them the opportunity to solve all the difficult problems they want Club members practice their math skills and then go to competitions in which they solve math problems at speeds most students can only dream of.
Roundtable is a creative writing club that offers students interested in expand ing their writing skills a unique aud ience for their work During club days members participate in activities such as poetry readings where students can share their writing.
Computer Club allows its members to learn about computers and new technologies President Junior Austin Babb said, "Our sponsor, Mr Emry helps us out a lot and shows us new things about computers on club days "

It's club timel
Southeast students have taken their ability to start new clubs and run with the privilege In order to set up a new club at Southeast, a student must find a faculty sponsor and get the "ok"from the administration Once Skate Club, LaCrosse Club, Croquet Club, and Drum Club found an adviser, they were off and running , skating, drumming, croqueting, and lacrossing!
The wildly popular Skate Club showed thier stuff at the unveiling of the new skate park In addition they skated at the lighting of the downtown Christmas tree . "Our goals ar e to en Joy skating and teach that to others/' said Donna Mullen, the sponsor of skate club
Skate Club takes advantage of club day by setting up and skat ing on rails and boxes outside of the school.
Drum Club has a s imilar goal : "To promote drumming and percussion to all students/' said club sponsor Gene Lessman . Drum Club hopes to understand the relationship rhythm has w ith life, not Just in music Every club day is a Jam session for drum club, which helps students experience a variety of percussion instruments
The 200 1- 2002 school year brought the addition of the LaCrosse and Croquet clubs The self explanatory clubs hope to promote their sports Croquet and LaCrosse clubs have set goals to teach students about these sports that are not yet popular in the Midwest . It is a good place to start, since many of the currently sanctioned high school sports started as clubs. Who knows? Maybe one day Southeast will be able to add Lacrosse to its list of state championships

It starts during the sweltering June afternoons, and contillues illto the lB.lmy Octorer evenrngs. Day after day, Southeast cross country runners lace up their shoes and take to a four or five mile run if not more. They tred paths from Sheridan Blvd to Pioneers Par uphill and downhill sidewalk or dirt path, ram or shrne. These dedicatErl runners endure this "I like 1£ing a part of gruelrng task ill order to uphold the strong tradition of excellence that is automatically something larger than associated with the Southeast team at the any one p:rson" regrnnrng of every season
-Senior Isaac Jefferson
Entering the 2001 season some of the team's ex~tations were to "place second ill the state meet and keep each other motivated," commentErl sophomore Kyle Smith. Despite a disappoilltillg 8th place finish at the state meet, the team is still happy with what they accomplishErl during the year.
In addition to team aspirations, the cross country runners set illdividual goals. "I wantErl to improve three or four mrnutes from my rest time last year," senior James Flaherty said
The team gets motivated refore each meet with a pre-game ritual ill which, accordrng to senior Isaac Jefferson the team will "meet ill a circle... pray, and talk aoout what we want to get done." The team also gets a pre-meet ~ptalk from senior varsity captarns Bryan Easley and John Wright the day refore a meet.
The team faced several challenges this season Easley stated "I thought we wouldn't re very good this year. But a lot of ~ple stepJffi up." Even though the team's state meet finish was not what they had hoJffl for, the boys Cross Country team had an overall successful season by achieving their goals and overcomrng obstacles.

Long before the first school bell rings, the 5Duthe,ast girls cross country te.arn is out in the hrat of the summer, running their way to their goal of winning state. This • year's main goal was to win the gold but they also had other te.arn goals, such as "pack attacks" and just having fun
The tram accomplished their goals through tramwork encouragement and hard work Togetherness is a majar part of the team "Our te.arn is very close-knit and we are just like a family. We laugh and be silly, but we can also be serious and determined

We are in this together!" said junior Jill Rosno. The te.arn bonded a lot, especially during their te.arn nights and pre-meet "pumper-uppers," where the girls shared their goals so they could cheer rach other on later that night the entire te.arn enjoyed the traditonal pre-meet spaghetti feed.
This year's te.arn had many strengths, including their positive attitude and focus. 'We're really focused on what ·we need to do on the course, " said senior Cissie Ehrisman Focusing was also one of the things the girls improved on through the course of the se.ason
The te.arn needed their mental focus because, "Cross country needs all of your concentration," exp lained sophomore Maggie Blumer. Running is a very mental and physical sport.
Daily cross country practice va,_'ied a lot. Depending on the day, the runs ranged from three to eight miles, and sometimes they did mile repe,ats or tempo runs. 51>, what kept these girls going? According to junior Jenna Hetcko, "Water, encouragement, yelling, galloping, animal sounds and mental focus."

The girls and ooys gymnastics teams flipped through another season Their long hours of practice and team spirit helped them win many meets. 'The rest thing that happened this year was scoring our highest score ever, 137," said sophomore Jamison Miles.
The team memrers all agree that their strength is in gocxi teamwork, and reing supportive of each other. "We were completely a team" said senior Andrea Loomis.
leading the Knights once again was head coach Tammy fuker. Her enthusiasm helped them reach their goals this season
"Gyrrmastics is a great sport and awesome experience."
-Sophomore Jamison Miles
"Our goal for this season was to reach a team high in points at state, to get top three at state," senior Tami Trehearn said Miles feels that she accomplished a lot of her goals this season "I feel that I have gotten to know most of the people. I've made the effort so that's what counts," she explained.
The ooys gymnastics team defended their 2000 State Championship, taking the state title once again Senior Derric Wocxi and junior Dallas Jordan led the Knights. Wood repeated his all-around victory: champion of the rings, parallel mrs, vault, high bar, and pommell horse. Jordan added the highest score on the floor.
Gymnastics is a great spectator sport gymnasts can rend twist and throw their oodies in ways that are unimaginable to the eye. Spotters are necessary when practicing these stunts on high and narrow platforms
Gymnastics requires strength, flexibility, and strong will Nothing comes easy, it takes courage to keep going after a mistake or falling off during a routine. Due to funding, this was the last year that gymnastics was a part of the Southeast athletic program

"We wanted to improve everyday!" senior Lindsay Mehlhaff stated
Games gave the varsity team a chance to demonstrate their skills gained from the hard work and hours in the gym Prior to competition the girls pumped. themselves up with traditional cheers. In a circle outside the gym rhythmically clapping and kicking their hands and feet, each player did a unique move in the center and the rest of team mimicked.
The varsity girls were strengthened by their team unity! "We are like a family and I feel very close to all of my teammates," junior Jenna Sawyer explained.
The Varsity Volleyball team took team unity, spirit, and desire into the District tournament, where they defeated Omaha Marian in the first round and took on Lincoln Northeast in the finals The Knights put up a fight against top-ranked Northeast, losing the third and deciding game 13-15.

They became Division A-2 Champs, winning against Omaha Westside, 64 to 55
"After last year's loss in the first round of the state championships, our team 's main goal was to win state," said junior forvvard Bo Ruud
But this year they fell just a step short of that goal
After defe,ating Creighton Prep and Lincoln High, the team lost to Grand Island Senior forward Chase Goldenstein believed that state tournamen t this year provided "a gre,at group of competition no team stem out above the rest. Down the stretch Grand Island was able to execute their game plan best and take state. I had a ton offun in the tourney, it was a gre,at experience to play in that type of environment."
What dre; it take to play basketrnll? "Raw intensity, and competitiveness during the games" junior guard Nick Bahe believes. And when a team has these qulaities, Chase Goldstein explains, they are able to "come together as an entire team to pull out the win"

The Southeast boys completErl the season with a tenth place finish at the State Swim Meet. With only two state qualifiers returning, the boys exceeded pre-season expectations.

Prom: A day full of excitement; picking up tuxes, buying flowers, getting your hair done, followed by a night of fun: pictures, dinner and dancing.
Taking place at Pershing Auditorium, the dance floor was aglow with thousands of crystal clear lights, bringing the "A Starlit Knight" theme into reality. Clapperboards lined the walls and stars lay across the tables, creating an atomsphere fit for all the knights and ladies of Southeast.
"Prom night was so exciting," junior Evan Brittenham related, "it was definitely all I expected." The memorable parts of the evening were different for everyone, for juniors Cassie ldeus and Amber Kramer the highlight of their evening was "seeing everyone dressed up at the dance," while junior Amanda Mercer had fun "simply being out with a 11 my friends."
For many, the highlight of prom was the crowning of the king and queen. This year, Jeff Carr and Leigh Wagner took home these titles while Nick Bahe and Laine Norton were selected as prince and princess.
Post proms' change in location, to UN Ls' Cook Pavia Ilion, was a complete success, allowing students more options and more room to move around. Junior Tanner Miller thought post prom rocked! "The sumo wresting was the greatest , but the fake gambling was fun too!"
"At post prom, the hypnotist was fun. I loved the sumo wresting and the obstacle course, plus the music was much better then at prom," senior Megan Neill stated.

The boys track and field team faced many challenges throughout the 2002 season. Injuries and weather always pose a problem in the spring season, however, the Knights ran, hurdled, jumped, and vaulted past these obstacles with style. John Wright demonstrated this style as he held up a number one while crossing the finish line first in the half mile at the City track and field meet, which the news referred to as the "Knight Show." Southeast's JV and Varsity teams won the meet, a victory that marked the beginning of a string of meets
"Playing MarioKart at Corlan's is a relaxing activity before meets."
-senior John Wright leading up to state.
Coach Dave Nebel filled the shoes of Ted Larson as the boys head coach assisted by many specialized coaches in the field events, hurdles, sprints, and distance. "It was great when Coach Nebel had Pistol Pete come and give us a pep talk/' said senior Jameson DeBose.
It takes a lot of mental drive to compete in track and field. "The most challenging part is getting through the workouts," said junior jumper and hurdler Mike Railsback.
"Running 400s uphill at Holmes Lake is tough," stated senior Bryan Easley.
Each individual had traditions before their race, vault, jump, or throw. "I do perfect cartwheels as a warm up and cool down after Issac Jefferson says a prayer/' commented DeBose.
"Spaghetti Works is always a popular pre-meet gathering place/' said senior James Flaherty.
"Track is a fun activity with many proud and genuine traditions," concluded senior Dave Leung.
The most prominent tradition on the team and in Southeast athletics that the boys track and field team strives to uphold is excellence.

ROUNDING THE CURVE
The enduring spring sport that spans all borders: determined distance training, short spell-binding sprints, herculean hurdling, valiantly vaulting with a pole, gigantic jumping, and tenaciously throwing. Track has spanned the minds and lives of many athletes.

"The sesason has gone rea I ly wel I, a lot of new records have been set by individuals at meets." to break 11:30 in the two-mile."

Senior Kristin Ubben, a 400m sprinter, came Alison Jergenson back from an injury in her junior year and has constantly improved her PR this season with including a two seconds drop at the LPS Championships. "One of the things I wanted to do was to get a PR at every meet. I also cheered for the few events that rarely get cheered. I have been on the team for four years, and I'm really going to miss everyone," Ubben explained.
Senior pole vaulter Tami Trehear has set and achieved various goals this season. At the beginning of the year her goal was to vaulting 10'6" but has now turned her dreams higher towards 11 feet and to win state. According to Trehearn pre-meet activities that the girls team engaged in included "going out to eat for pasta before any meet. For Conference, Coach Moravec is having all of us all over for Jamaican food."
Track & Field helps students meet new people, have fun, and get a good workout. Casie Witte commented, "The best things about Track & Field are the coaches and other athletes that I work with everyday. We really form team unity and try to be consistent through the whole year and improve." Witte, a senior who competes in the long jump, high jump, 100m hurdles, and 300m hurdles, will carry the great memories of her experiences in track forever.

COMMITTED TO 5 U cc Es s .......... c --------j
Coming off of a state championship season in 2001, the Varsity boys soccer team was well aware of the standard they were expected to live up to. The team lost over half of their starters who graduated in 2001 including star goalie Cody Christline. In spite of obstacles, the team found a way to persevere, and beyond that, succeed. -
"Winning state was Theboyssuccessonthefieldwasdueinpart a big goal again this to their sticking together off the field, some o year. 11 them having played soccer with each other -Senior Josh Sims since even before high school. Green noted, "Some of my most tight-knit relationships have come through playing soccer." The team unity is due to the fact that, as junior Dan Miriovsky said, "We all have the same goal of wanting to win."
One of the primary motivators for the team was the stellar coaching staff, headed up by Linda Wilson and assisted by Cory Strope. Senior Josh Sims noted, "Wilson knows how to relate to all the guys on the team, she has earned our respect." Wilson was also the first female to win a boys varsity soccer state championship, when she coached her team to a victory over Millard West at the end of the 2001 season.
Captains; Green, Mike Hamburger, and Chris Hamburger set high goals for the team at the beginning of the year. Green noted that the team wanted to "step up our play from last year and hopefully take state." Others on the team set additional, personal goals. Junior Dan Miriovsky's goal for his first year on varsity was to "learn more about the game from the more experienced players on the team. With them, I learned a lot about how the game of soccer should be played." Miriovsky noted his excitement in aiming to fulfill the team mantra of "Playing perfectly everytime we step out on the field." The goals paid off, as the team found themselves ranked 5th in the nation among high school boys soccer teams early in the year.

TAKING THE SHOT
This year the lady Knights held no prisoners as they worked their way to the top. The team goals for this season were to play their best during every game and to make it to the state tournament, no matter what it took to get there. Despite hard times along the way, the team never forgot to have fun.

In order to achieve success, these 22 girls began getting motivated as soon as they got to school in the morning.

-Junior Me g an Mcc a rvill e
Getting pumped up meant "getting in a circle, singing a song, and praying" said senior Shelby Herbon. After singing, it was left to the individuals to do their own thing. "The defense huddles together and yells in order to get pumped" added Herbon.
Sophomore Liz Osterman said that she "screams and yells before each game" in order to help her to achieve her goal of becoming more vocal on the field.
Once the team prepared for competition, all they could do is put into action what they practiced everyday. Just before a game they would "talk about what needs to happen, and that way we have something to focus on" said sophomore Bessie Rapp. Bessie also said that before game s she "was nervous, but I just went out there, played hard, and it turned out OK."
Although the team unity, and preparation are what made soccer fun to play,junior Megan Mccarville said that her most memorable moment was when she managed to "score in the Omaha Skutt game" she said with a smile.
This year's girls varsity soccer team had a lot of success, and enjoyed themselves whether they were at a pregame dinner, chanting together, or enjoying a hard-fought victory. The team is losing seven seniors, but they are returning many players and look forward to a promising season next spring.

a lot of experience with many returning members from last year. Juniors Brady Bauer, John Campbell, and Tyler Raasch, and senior Brandon Lester, the only senior on the golf team this year, returned to help carry on the traditon of athletic excellence to their eight new teammates.
"They are an amazing group. They're young, but have the experience," explained coach Dan Wolf.
The boys started down the long fairway towards state with a winning streak at four tournaments and earning four titles. The team won the Grand Island Invite on March 28, with junior Brady Bauer receiving first. They won the Westside/Ralston Invitational on April 5 at Benson. Freshman Joe Kubick took home the first place honor. The golf team was the Lincoln Public Schools champion. Taking home individual 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places were Campbell, Kubick, and Lester, respectively.
The Capital City Invitational was their fifth tournament win of the season, which they won by five strokes. Bauer took 4th place and Campbell took 5th place individually. Added to this 5th place, Campbell finished first at the Beatrice Invite on Apri I 4, after being postponed by the spring weather on March 21, and second place finish at the Grand Island Invite.

SET SIGHTS HIGH
The Girls Va r si ty tennis team came out with determination this season. The tea m cons i sts of twelve girls, including Kara Basler, Kylie Fisher, Liz Garcia and Abby Wilson who have all been on the t eam since they were freshman.
"There ' s four seniors who have been on varsity for four years so we ' re real close and usually g et along. It brings the team together, " said senior Liz Ga rcia. Garcia who plays number one singles said practices ar e pretty laid back. But whatev er the team does { seems to work because the Knight's winning

tradition continues.
"We have a really young team this year but we still have a really deep team in terms of ability," said junior Megan Blosser. One of the biggest accomplishments for the Varsity team this year was their win at the Ralston Invitational, which has not been accomplished in recent history.
-Co ach Tim Tidball
Beside the i r achievements this year they were also prone to injuries. Senior Abby Wilson injured her shoulder and junior Pooja Bhadbhade was out the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
The Junior Varsity team also had an outstanding season. Aside from their team goal of being undefeated, ther e were personal goals that were obtained. Junior Laura Sprague said her personal goals were, "To win all my matches I play throughout the season and to ___J~:::~c-;--------7--1-7 improve my mental game and short game." _
One of their toughest opponents this season was Omaha Marian. "For good luck we throw a tennis ball into the Platte River before the Marian Meet, " said jun ior Kari Sufficool. Out of the eleven girls on the team , only five were returning JV players from last year's team. There are three who are exper iencing their first year of playing i:::=:t high school tenn i s.
The reserve team coached by Jesse Domsch followed in the footsteps of the upperclassman with their successful season. " My personal goa l s for the season were to go undefeated at meets and to make i t to city ," said sophomore reserve player Courtney Flesner. Only the top six on the team got to compete in the city meet. The Knight ' s showed off their school colors with their bright yellow tank tops and black shorts, as they took on the compet i tion around the city.

STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE
The Southeast Varsity Baseball team began the season with high expectations, hoping to play well all season and make a strong showing at districts and state. Junior shortstop Matt Coatman noted that the team "slumped at certain times," but they "broke through and started hitting the ball."
Although the team worked hard in practice every day, they still had time to be themselves and have fun. "We have so many inside jokes, it's unbelievable," senior catcher Tim Doi berg said.
Coatman added that at the Ralston tournament, "we put eyeblack on Mike Pease 's hat, so when he took it off, he had a black streak across his forehead."
"We're a really close-knit group. We've been playing baseball since we were eight."
-Tim Dolberg
The team agreed that one of their strongest aspects was their closeness and unity. "The pitchers and catchers get along pretty well," senior first baseman Kiel Bush commented. "We work together on the field." The sense of unity also showed itself when the team hung out outside of practice and prepared for games. The night before a game, the team would have pre-game dinners. On the day of the game, senior captains Jeff Christy and Alex Gordon would bring the team together in a huddle for encouraging words.
Overall, the Knights were proud of their season, especially a mid-season seven-game winning streak. "I knew we could do that well," Christy said of the seventh winning game. "It's just if we did that day or not."
Other highlights of the season including beating a team in Kansas as well as beating Millard South. "They've always had it against us," Dolberg said of Millard South. "[Brian] Knippelmeyer had a great game and struck out eleven players. We played Grade A baseball."
As the Knights geared up for districts, they were optimistic about the chance to play teams like Omaha Westside and cross-city rival Northeast. When asked about how he expected the team to do in upcoming games, Coatman confidently replied, "I think we have a good chance."

Ladies and gentlemen, hold on t c yer' hats as the Reserve and Junior Var___ sity Knights dominate the ba?eball diamond. This year, th JV baseball team showe how its done with thei r share of homeruns an double plays.
The key to th is season? "Defense. We ha to develop a strong defense, and everything else fell into place," said JV Junoir Alex Brown.
Just as unstopable were the Reserve team , clinching victories in several down-to-the-wire games.
"A few games were a little close, but we came through," said reserve sophmore Jared Bacus.
Proving that they play for the competition and fun , JV players had many humerous moments to recall from their season: from nonsensical Yog i Bera ' s quotes, to a team bat held together by tar, nails and duct tape. "It was all just a lot of good times," remembered JV sophmore Sam David. by Cameron Guenzel
"You need to give 100 010 the first half of the game , and if that's not enough, give the rest the second ha If."
