Sophomore Zach Panzer didn't like the I.D. tag, "because it gets in the way and is a hassle to bring to school everyday." Students who forgot to bring their 1.0. tags to school or who lost them had to pay $1 for a temporary I.D. tag or $3 for a new I.D. tag.

On the other hand, a change students liked was the new cell phone policy. Students could talk on their cell phones during passing time and during lunch.

Junior Tia Aspegren likes the "freedom and responsibility" of the cell phone policy. This was a big • change from years where administrators didn't even want students to bring their phones to school.

So even though Southeast continues to change, its tradition and identity are still firmly in place

THE OUT TO LUNCH 6'uno£

Sneaking out the hard way_ Two unidentified students ~Tieak out to lunch during second lunch. Many students tried getting out so they could go to same of the local fast food restaurants.

By Maddie Erickson

When a junior or a senior walked out the lunch room doa s, escaping into a half-hour of freedom, y sophomores began to think, 'Wow they're lucky-- they get to go out to lunch " Then they may start to wonder, " 1it , I can drive, why can't I go out to lunch?" Well, many students were confused on this subject However, sometir s they were so confused they found themselves sneaking out to lunch.

"I sneak out to lunch all the time. Its pretty easy sometimes, but it can be difficult," said an unident11 ~d sophomore.

Even though many sophomores did it, many didn't know the consequences that would have occurre if they were caught. Most of the time detection would mean a detention , but, if caught more than once there re more serious steps taken to make sure it did not happen again .

In some students minds, though , they believed going out to lunch was a privilege They thought that 1e rules of going out had been broken to many times and that the administration should to make new restrictio to the way students go out to lunch. In response, this year, along with the new ID tags, underclassmen were iden ti" ~d by the infamous black bar on the bottom. As a result, it was much more difficult for sophomores to elude '1e administration.

While getting out to lunch was often like reenacting a scene from "Mission Impossible," the sweet allu r( of fast food was too much to ig nore So, as long as the sun rises and sets sophomores will go out to lunch.

Varstty. The top of the high school sport world. Mostly, 1he prestigious positions on one of these teams went to

and seniors. But, occasionally an underclassman with enough skill and commitment could reach the top team. This ye select number of sophomores defied the odds and became members of the varsity squad in their respective sports.

How did it feel to make a varstty team as a sophomore? Maddie Graham (basketball) stated, "Ifs rewarding, kno that you're up there with the big dogs and ifs a lot of fun because you get to meet a lot more people on your team an n other teams."

Jaydee Jurgensen (basketball) said, "It feels good knowing other people worked hard to get to the point where I now." And getting to that point was no easy task. It took hard work and could cut into extra time and weekends. Brooke Balogh (swimming) remarked being on a varstty sport took a lot of time, so she had to learn to use her time wisely and occasionally choose not to go out with her friends so when she needed to do your homework or go to practice.

But being on varstty wasn't just hard work and time consuming. It was also fun. Graham said that her favorite pa about being on varsity was" the team dinners, and knowing that everyone is there to improve their skills and get better."

Story and l)hotO by Maddie Etlckson

Congratulations! You gracludted from being a freshman. The bad news? You are still an underclassman. While you aren't quite able to say "move!" to anybody in the hallway yet, it is a step up from being a freshman. That may be considered unfair, however, that is the way it is when you get to high school. Seniority rules and the seniors know it.

Next time somebody tries to act cool in the hallway and they're only a sophmore ydu might want to set them straight and tell them they have two more years to go. But, there are some good things to being a sophomore. Sophomores don't get picked on as much as freshmen. Don't worry though, you're on your way to being a junior-- a true upperclassman!

Remember that first time walking through the high school doors as a freshman? What were your first thoughts? Or better yet, fears?

"Classes are a little harder, and I think in high school there 's a lot more pressure to do well because your grades count for a lot more than they did in middle school," explained freshman Sarah Lamphere .

"I was a little nervous about trying

Among the other things that were the most terrifying about coming to high school were wondering what other people think, getting enough credits to graduate, and not fitting in

"Not knowing where I was going was definitely my worst fear," said freshman Liz Kester, "Meeting new people and having harder classes was frightening, too "

Elliot Nobbman and Ross Reynolds both agreed with Kester but they were also afraid of getting pummeled. Not only did they have fears of getting annihilated by upperclassmen, Reynolds jokingly exclaimed, "girl cooties!"

When asked if anything about school still makes them nervous they simply replied "grades." Grades count for a lot more then they did in middle school and especially elementary school. Although Reynolds seemed to think high school is a lot easier and more fun because he is older and middle school wasn't that great.

"High school is way better then middle school <;md elementary school because there is way more freedom," stated Nobbman.

As the year went on everything wasn't as stressful as most freshmen thought it would be Even with all the construction, students ad justed to the changes very well and ga ined confidence navigating through the hallways in such a big school.

FRESHMA N ~J rJ cir..r

By Em ily McCoy

Congratulations! You have graduated from the obscurity that is middle school and moved onto high school and all of its glory. Finally your maturity will be rewarded , as you will stand among the elite

Well, au contraire! For you freshmen swimming in the big sea, there is one thing to keep in mind: "high school " is another word for "hierarchy." Before you have the right to walk down the hall with your head held high, there are a few guidelines that the senior class has considerately suggested for you:

First, eye contact is a privilege, not a right. In many cases, your best bet is to entirely divert your eyes while walking down the hallway. The good news is that the halls were brilliantly designed to be void of any obstacles However, this does lead to the next point.

Second, treat upperclassmen as thorny, poisonous , fiery entities with whom all contact should be avoided. When you are in the general proximity of an upperclassman (which you should sense, rather than visually see, keeping rule number one in mind), you must instantly cease all movement and stand silently . You can earn bonus points here by smashing yourself against a locker and staying as far out of the way as possible ... (continued on page l 07)

FIRST CHANCE tci..rCgicinoe

(continu e d from page l 05)

By Emily McCoy

Third, it has become apparent that the concept of "respect' was not at all taught during your middle school days. If by chance, you are privileged enough to be sought out by an upperclassman, always refer to them by "Sir" or "Ma'am ." Additionally , spend sometime thinking of all the possible names that yours could be confused with As an example, if your name is Terry, you are to respond to: Mary, Carrie, Larry, Barry, and even Joe. Seniors have too much responsibility to be burdened by insignificancies such as your identity

Finally, these are only the powers that are enumerated. You are also responsible for adhering to the whim of upperclassmen. Be grateful for the proclamation of these laws; you have been given the gift of knowledge. Don't fret, however Your day is just dawning, and there are better things to come Junior year and upperclassmen glory is only two years away

HALLWAY CrouOte;J

You hear the bell ring at the end of your class. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to reach your next class with minimal damage to your body , and m ind. You accept the mission in order to further your academic achievement. As you leap from your chair , an upperclassmen pushes you back into your seat . Minor setback but you push onward. You are now running through the hall as fast as your feet will carry you As you turn the corner an administrator stops you for running in the halls. Great timing on their part because you also don't have your ID

tag on. You shell out a dollar to buy a temporary ID and proceed on your way as the warning bell rings. You arE ;till in F-Hall while your next class is at the end of G-Hall. You wait until the administrator is out of sight and then you

to run again. You dodge around other students who are sprinting to their classes as well. You fall down the stairs ~

start to limp to your classroom. You dive into the classroom as the final bell rings. Status : minimal damage to

and mind. Mission accomplished Now you just have to survive until the end of the day

Here is a riddle : everyone is or was one and one wants to be one Yes , you know I'm talk ing ab 0t • being a freshman

The bottom of the food chain , the freshi e and the ones that always get made fun o f by t til upperclassman But, soon enough the ir day will com E and how w ill they act?

Will they keep the cycle of upperclassman ma ki fun of underclassman when they become old enoug r O r, will t hey defy the laws set by previous generat ions c students before them and break the cycle?

Some freshmen asserted that they wou ld end t cycle of underclassmen cruelty . Othe rs were adam ar about cont inu ing the trad ition Whateve r the case , o thing was un iversally true : f reshmen year was fun wh i it lasted and even better to leave beh ind!
