Southwest High 2012 Yearbook

Student Life >m 0 :i,. m z: --1 rt,

We are Southwest. When people hear our name some may think rich, snobby, stuck up and any other down-hearted name they can think of.

But here's the scoop; our school is not snobby but spirited. Roam our halls, and you will find dedicated students, athletes, musicians, actors, speakers and more, with cheerleaders yelling with every breath as our band

oves the crowd with every po'i'Dtial beat. Maybe we are a little conceited, but that's only because we believe • our sports teams, our clubs, our organizations and our academics. We have had ten years of building, block by block. Ten years of ex 41Wsive work to define who we are today. We may have been ·sjudged by some but as true Silver Hawks, we know that we lis1fBN with pride. motional and encouraging speakers have filled our hearts with inspiration, from Rohan Murphy to the Blue Angels leading us to continued success.

Oh, and we now have a sister school named Senshu Matsudo in Japan. y being able to exchange students, ideas, culture and eventually acuity, this sisterhood agreement has helped brig4IW our learning experience.

All the way from the fall of 2002 to the spring of 2012, our school has grown bigger and better and the years will not be forgot'IU. Story/spread by Taylor Scharper

Southwest Fan Federation: the spirit behind our student section.

Senior OeWayne Taylor, president, said, ~school spirit does more than show that we like attending a certain school, it shows that . we realize it's more than just about us, but

recognizing others." While a lack of spirit and participation cancelled send offs for the year, students participated in numerous assemblies, including for the school's 10-year anniversary. Not only did we have lives in school, but our student body was

also very involved out. side our walls. Every aspect of our lives, including school events, jobs, volunteering, family, friends, youth groups and everything we did helped define us to be Hawks that soared.

Viva las Vegas

Dancing, excitement, themes and spirit week all describe the exhilarating event of homecoming .

Homecoming is the first exciting event that Southwest puts on. Earlier than ever, the Sept. 2 event gave every student a chance to branch out and meet new people and to have fun dancing with their friends. It was also an exciting celebration for the new season of football, with it only being the second game of the season.

Freshman had a chance to meet new people and create a solid group of friends. As for seniors, it was the first "last hoorah" of their high school INNING The upperclassmen journey.

1eer as they win the dance off at Mo re than just a dance, it

Sanburg/Talon girls, to get their hair done, buy

a new pai r of shoes, or to buy a new dress, or for the boys, buy a new tie

The majority of people, when asked what they were most excited for answered taking pictures and eating before the dance with their friends .

Sophomore Laura Haniszewski, said, "I bought three different dresses so that I would have some options."

However junior Jackson Bauer said, "I only bought a tie "

Along with getting ready for the dance, homecoming is also a big chunk of change. It might be more expensive for girls to prepare for than boys because girls get dresses, shoes, and sometimes their nails and hair done. Whereas for guys, the most they might buy is a new tie or shirt.

Junior Malory Dahl said, "I spent around $85 for a dress and shoes."

As for freshman Yahsmin Gorji, "I bought a dress and shoes and it cost around $130."

Students were also able to bring dates from other schools while last year that was not allowed Tickets were $5 which was the same as in the past years. However, the wristbands were still issued to monitor dancing behavior.

The week of Homecoming is full of excitement and creativeness. It's a chance for the entire student body to participate and show school spirit! The dance theme was "Viva Las Vegas " The cheerleaders and dance team sponsored the week's events

e fall musical, "Big ok Southwest by storm performances Sept. 29, Oct. l.

sed on Mark Twain's ures of Huckleberry ritten in 1884, the · picts Huck Finn (senior ill) helping his friend ior Dewayne Taylor) slavery in the south. eir journey takes them e Ohio River as they fear, friendship and eedom.

ong their way they o jail breakouts, men im to be a Duke (senior n Drake) and a King

(senior Fred Vogel). The two join Huck and Jim on their way down the river They experience adventure after adventure together on their journey.

The choice to do "Big River" as the fall play was a successful one It was directed by Bob Henrichs.

"I really like the choice to do "Big River," Drake said. "Mr . Bob usually chooses the fall shows because they contain some powerful message that we get to relay to the audience."

Senior Daniel Peters (Pap, Sheriff Bell) said, "I like "Big River'' because it is from the famous Mark Twain novel."

Like other great perfor-

"Imahces, "Big River" didn't just happen. It took many hours of rehearsal.

Junior Will Reber (Tom Sawyer) said, "If I did the math right, we practiced almost 30 hours a week once dress rehearsals started."

Sophomore Michelle Ingle (Miss Watson) agreed. "We're pretty much in theatre from after school until 10 p.m. everyday," she said.

Those who saw the play said it was a great experience.

''The musical was a great show. It was really interesting and funny," said senior Kelsey Boesiger.

What has a head, a tail, ; brown, and has no legs? A 1enny! You guessed it; we're Jlking about money Earning , saving it, and spending it.

High school is when most tudents get their first job. Vhether it's working at Hy-Vee ir even babysitting, you can 1chieve a feeling of success ·om earning money and then aving the money you earn. Saving your money can 1e tough though .

"I'm awful at saving my noney," said sophomore ~achel Burress. ''The second I 1et money I go shopping and spend it "

The majority of the students said the best way to save money is to deposit it into a bank account.

"I put my money in a bank account and then just try to forget about it," said junior Angela Lorenz.

Now, what would you do if you had all the money in the world? Would you save it like other students try to do, donate it to charities, or spend it on a new fancy car?

"I would buy a new house for my family and donate to cancer research," said senior

Mallory Waller.

While some students work at local restaurants or stores, other students make money investing.

Senior Kaleb Young has made an investment in his parents' business by selling protein to customers. He has been very successful.

"My high school counselor asked me what I was going to major in, and I said I didn't know because I'm an entrepreneur and already make more money than my teachers l'm known at school as 'the guy with the black

BMW,"' he said.

Many high school scholars are earning money, saving money, and spending money. If money was flowing out of the market into the hands of our young generation, many people would make the conscious decision to donate it to significant charities or put it in the bank right away.

Sophomore Sean Nordgren and his friends enjoy indulging a nice big burrito at Chipotle directly after fourth block.

Fast, fun and tasty . Where are Southwest students' favorite places to eat, whether it's for a quick lunch, dinner before a dance, or maybe just something sweet?

Many students enjoyed eating at nearby restaurants. Favorites included Noodle's and Company, Chipotle, Red Robin, and the new Crave. But, in the short 30 minutes students get to eat during lunch, upperclassmen wanted something fast.

perclassmen with the privilege to go off campus to eat lunch chose to stay.

Another great time to fill your belly, and have a blast with your friends, was before a dance. Freshman Braxton Tonniges looked forward to a big plate of Shogun before he and his friends danced it up! ''The best part about it is watching them cook the food in front of you," Tonniges said.

But what about when you want something sweet?

places to go for some hing fancy were Lazlo's an Shogun

Maybe it's the macaroni, or the huge Rice Krispie bars, but whatever it is, many students love the taste of Noodles & Company. Photo by Kaylyn

Junior Mercedez Alford loved a quick stop at Taco Bell while junior Brooks Carveth's favorite place to go was Jimmy John's. Most students wished they had a few more minutes to eat lunch. It would provide more time to talk with friends, and eat the food. Many up-

Sophomores Conor Behrens and Jaidin Stonacek adored Cherry on Top. ''There's so many different options, and it tastes so good," Behrens said.

Students also loved to go out with friends, family and their boyfriend/girlfriend on the weekend. The most popular

On average, mo t students said they went ut to eat two to three times a week. That can be a tad pri y, spending about $25- 0, wher as if they were eating at schoo they'd be spending m re around $15-20. If mo ey matters, maybe eating lu ch at school isn't so bad aft r all. From the lunch ooms mashed potatoes, to immy John's yummy subs, f od weirdly brought stude ts together. It was a gre t way to spend time with one nother, to gossip or socialize, while stil satisfying your stoma h.

Sophomore Addison Byers said, "I like Roos because they go with every outfit."

On the other end of the spectrum is sophomore Jamie Brown. She said, ''They look like first aid packs ."

Senior Halle Swann agrees with Brown saying, "I will never get one."

It's what gets us into school, pays for our lunch, and irritates us all. Yes, our lanyards. Seeing our school pictures for the first time is always exciting, but most of us almost imme diately change our lanyards.

Some choose to support their favorite team. Junior Easton Edmond shows off one of his favorite college football teams, the Huskers. (middle)

Others just want to add some sparkle to their outfits, like sophomore Ashlee Meader . (left)

Meanwhile some students get creative and make their own, like junior Wednesday Stamper (right). Stamper personalized her lanyard by making it out of colorful string.

Southwest is full of different people, and with different people comes completely different senses of style Whether you would describe yourself as fashionable, like sophomore Raeann Bronder; inconsistent, like senior Halle Swann; great, like sophomore Kansas Naquin; or sporty, like freshman Abby Meader, we all have our own unique ways of how to dress.

Every morning you choose what you are going to wear that day. This is what can set you apart from others, as far

as looks go. To a lot of people this can be a very important task. To others throwing on a sweatshirt with a pair of shorts sounds more appealing.

Whether you prefer to be casually dressed, or you are trying to find the perfect outfit for the day, in the few minutes you take to dress yourself you are deciding what many people will think of you.

There are also a few things that our styles share-trends . Trends fade in and out all the time. Last year at this time you couldn't walk through the hall without

seeing several wrists full of Silly Bands. Now you'd be lucky to even see one ·

A few years ago you probably couldn't imagine putting a feather in your hair, lying face down in a crazy place and taking a picture of it, wearing a fanny pack across your shoulder, or picking up ice cream by the actual ice cream itself.

Trends and styles definitely do come and go Who knows what crazy things we will be wearing and doing next year. Story/spread by Jessi Horan

Plank ing is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual location Your hands must touch the sides of your body and having a photograph taken and posted on the internet is an important part of Planking People plank to find the most unusual and original locations in which to plank The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank Below senior Haley Janssen demonstrates how to plank Photos by Jessi Horan/ Talon

Many students have started to join in on this silly phenomenon. It's easy to do and can be funny as well. Although planking is the most popular pose, there are a number of different poses that students participate in as well. Some include owling, teapotting, coning, horse manning, tebowing and many more to come Above seniors Shelby Anderson (left) and Erica Trautman (middle) demonstrate owling.

Ten years ago Sept. 11, 2011 a devastating attack on our country changed us all for the rest of our lives .

On that Tuesday morning terrorists from the Islamic militant group Al-Qaeda formed a series of four coordinated suicide attacks on the New York and Washington, D C. area.

The hijackers crashed two American Airline planes -into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. The fourth jet crashed into a field near Shan Ville, Pennsylvania after the passengers ried to take control of the plane before it could reach the intended target in D.C.

Both of the towers collapsed within two hours leaving only a massive pile of rubble . Nearly 3,000 people

died that day in the attacks, including four originally from Nebraska . To commemorate tho day, Lincoln was fortunate enough to host the 2011 Guardians of Freedom Air Show th t included an aerobatics jet pe rmance by the Blue Angels. The Angels include six pilots that eath fly an F/A-18 Hornet In more than 70 shows at 34 locaflPA throughout the Unite ates each year.

ot only did the Blue Angels come to Lincoln, they also visited our high school for a short presentation. One of the men that presented the show was Major Brent Stevens. Stevens' life long dream of becoming a pilot came true when he became the third Blue Angels pilot.

"Someone once told me if you had all the money in the world what would you do

with it," said Stevens who also advises students to find something that inspires the . Sev I odents attending Southwest have found inspiration through JROTC.

"For the past two years I have been volunteering with the Air Force JROTC program and I really enjoy it a lot," said junior Samantha Vallabhbhai.

"I was already interested in going into the military after college, and after being involved with the program I decided that I wanted to join the program officially to be a part of the corp. of cadets."

After high school if students still want to pursue a military career they can go into the ROTC program The course is a college program that is offered at m re than 1000 campuses across the country and is an opportunity to pay for school through scholarships.

The cour n and women become strong leaders in the Air Faro i and unlike other colleges, this program guarantees a position in the Air Force after graduation.

"In the program itself I hope to become a develope c citizen of character dedicate< to serving their nation and community. After I am completed with this program, I hope to go to the Air Force Academy," said Caleb Ullman, one of the students w t ) is planning on attending th program.

The most memorable way Southwest honored e 11 was the football game against Uncoln East. A sea patriotic students attended ti 1e game decked out in red, w ,te, blue and black to spell out U.S.A. at half time.

Do you spend your time Nith a group of people that share your same interests, Dr learn about the things you ove and want to help those n your community?

Youth groups, sports, !>Couts, FCA, and other clubs re just a few things that .SW students fill their time Mth. Not only do students ove these activities, but they 1elp to influence their lives )Utside of Southwest.

"I like the people nvolved," said sophomore :onnor Blankenau about the nembers in his youth group, ;ports team and theater :lub.

Students find things they love. They can be passionate about what they do and go after their dreams

Senior Daniel Hanson is involved in his church children's ministry, safe place and FCA.

"I belong to these to learn more about God, and also to help others," Hanson said. "I love being involved in impacting people's lives in a positive way."

Not only do students help their community, many students travel to other states and even countries to help.

Senior Shelby Anderson

has traveled to Honduras at least once a year since she was 12. She helps lead vacation Bible school and reads Bible stories to the children while the rest of their team helps to build houses around the community.

"I went for the first time when I was 12 because my mom wanted me to go," Anderson said. "But now it's the only thing I look forward to every year. It has changed my entire life."

Boys and Girls State was another way students got involved. Senior Alex Hinton was one of the eight students to attend this summer

"Its about the importance of being a good citizen and understanding what that entails. It's about understanding our state's unique system of government," Hinton said

"I didn't really know anything nor did I have a lot of interest in government, " said senior Laine Sanburg, "but after attending Girls State I definitely enjoy politics more."

Students get involved with so many other things that helps them to grow into the people they are becoming by the activities that define them. Story/spread by Nicole Ullman

We use the Internet for everything, whether it's doing our homework, connec =in with friends, or speaking our minds. With it we are led to a world outside our rec Ir while also rediscovering our own. As a generation growing up with technology, YI have tailored a short list of sites that most feel they truly couldn't live without.

There's really no comparison to this wonderful search engine. Some people use Bing, there's maybe a couple Yahoo-ers, but Google out beats them all. It has branched into several different sectors of the Internet allowing them

We've come a long way from the 16 inch records our parents won't let go of. These days we can update our music libraries in seconds and be jammin' to the latest tunes. iTunes allows everyone to find the kind of music they love, whether it be rock, pop, jazz, dubstep, rap, or even classical. The accessibility of it all lets students discover styles previously unknown and personalize their playlists.

It's a free microblog that allows users to share photos, audio, quote, links and text. Sophomore Siara Swiggart says she uses it "to see what type of things people blog." Its freedom for expression is what makes this website so popular.

Microblogging ... to the extreme. In 140 characters, students can express their emotion, stress level or what they had for lunch. However, being able to follow our favorite celebs makes Twitter truly entertaining. When asked what her favorite thing about Twitter was, junior Taylor Rohde said, "I only follow like 100 people, but I love creeping on Justin Beiber!" It's completely open database colorfully portrays human life that is both entertaining and gasp-worthy.

According to its Facebook page. "Skype is doing things together, whenever you're apart."

Yes, a catchy slogan, but so true! With Skype, students can chat with old friends that have moved away, relatives in other states or even a neighbor down the street. It provides a setting for more face-to-face conversation, without having to be in the same room, making it more appealing to students than ordinary calling and texting.

This is every English student's best friend Anne Frank or John Steinbeck, Jane Austen or Leo Tolstoy, SparkNotes has the perfected the summary and literary knowledge that you need. Features like No Fear Shakespeare and AP Test Prep make studying less of a chore and acing classes a breeze Elaine Caster (AP Lang and AP Lit. teacher) thinks of SparkNotes as a "handy site that should be read as a study guide but [believes] if you just read SparkNotes you truly miss out on literature and how it works." So, students can't survive on SparkNotes, but we can certainly use it to help us along.

"Technology is

It's beginning to feel like a thing of the past, but 10 years ago it was the best form of Internet communication out there. The a double edged sword. On one hand, it has made it easy to keep in touch with old friends, and to coordinate times to get together. On the other hand, it has somewhat hindered our ability to have real-life relationships."

It a picture is worth a thousand words, then YouTube is worth a y million. It has Justin Bieber's, 0U Rebecca Black's, h~terical babies, informational how-tos, scandalous music videos and so much more It's a video sharing website generated completely by users, permitting students to see people from places near and far away .

role of E-Mail in society has minimally depleted with so many other communications to choose from, but still it remains Students use servers such as g-mail, AOL, MSN, and much more to contact teachers, employers, and occasionally friends. It' s fast and effici'?nt, still fitting in to our expansive world of technology.

It's the social networking site that has everyone talking. Sure it may be controversial, but the instant access into all our friends' lives is what has made Facebook so popular. We update our status, download new pictures, creep on crushes and check notifications . It's like McDonald's: ya gotta love it!

The on line encyclopedia we couldn't live without. Destined for greatness, Wikipedia began in March of 2000, with articles written completely by volunteers and in hundreds of different languages. Although some people question its validity, Laurie Logsdon, Southwest's media specialist says, "Wikipedia does connect on content and value. The content provides a ready list of potential resources in the bibliography; the value is in the immediacy and ability to find a fast answer to your query." So, we should use it as a source for sources, and maybe take a peek at the articles too.

The production depicts the memories of an adult Ralph (senior Fred Vogel) as he recalls his most memorable Christmas as a child. He remembers how he wanted nothing more than the Red Ryder BB gun.

"We're doing great," said Ben Heiliger, junior. "Everyone is working hard and doing their best."

Starting in seventh the team has moved their way up to finish fourth in state. Keifer led the team at state with a 10th place finish. The team

won three meets including city and had two runner-up finishes.

"The runners as people and students are great kids and I am proud to be their coach," said head coach Ryan Salem Cross country meant running long distances over natural terrain, be it muddy, rocky, grassy and uneven courses

Practices were brutal, consisting of every day after school for two hours, and 7 a m. Saturday mornings. With the varsity team members running 40 to 50 miles a week, no wonder it's considered one of the most demanding sports in the world.

This group of 31, combined made a team consisting of hardworking, tough go-getting girls

Girls cross-country won city and fourth overall at state. Many of the girls broke their personal records.

Senior Mary Hillis said , "Last year my PR was 15 :03. This year I broke 15 for my overall PR." Along with breaking her PR Hillis also broke a school record getting her best time at 14:43.

All three girls led the team to the district championship by placing in the top three spots.

Many had been doing cross-country for a while . Senior Hayley Hamm said,

"I have been doing crosscountry since eight grade

The junior varsity team also had an impressive season winning several tournaments. Danson noted they "did very well."

Being on the course was only part of the team's connection. The varsity and junior varsity team said they were just one big family. The team had nothing but great things to say about each other.

2011 Hawks' varsity volleyball team kicked off the season with a win against The North Star Navigators.

Last year Southwest's team lost eight seniors, four of which started. This year's team became very dedicated and determined to make up for their loss, and fill in the new starters successfully.

It may have been hard to recover from but even with a brand new line up, Southwest managed to beat the number two seed in the state Omaha Burke at the Spartan Double Dual Tournament.

They also took the title for conference champions by Fall Sports

beating Grand Island in an intense five sets.

"Our connection reflects over onto the volleyball court

And I love how we can act ourselves around each other," said senior middle hitter Sarni Nelson.

Every night before a game the girls joined together for a team dinner. Whether they went to Noodle's and Company or someone's house, they made sure to have a fun night together before a game day

Another tradition this team had was to blast the music in the locker room before a game.

Although the season started out rough, with the first game being a 17-12 loss to Southeast, the Hawks picked themselves up and dusted themselves off.

Senior Brandon Reilly said, "The loss was hard, but it was only the first game of the season and it's meaningless now "

Keeping that in mind the Hawks shut out North Platte, Lincoln East and Fremont. The team managed to get themselves through districts undefeated. As district champs with only one loss, they earned the number two seat at state

The Hawks hosted Bellevue West for first round of

playoffs, beating them, 35 - 13

In quarter finals, they played Papillion - La Vista, and lost 4034, in a game that seesawed back and forth They finished with a 9- 2 record . While several players faced minor injuries during the season, senior Keegan Sheridan and junior Eric Oltman were both out for much of it, Sheridan had a·broken leg and Oltman, a torn ACL.

"Even though I broke my leg, I was there every game, cheering my team on, I wanted to be there for them," Sheridan said.

Although the season is over, the players will never

Whether they have been playing for two months, like freshman Zach Schneider, or for nine years, like junior Alex Embree, football is football and there was only one way to play. No matter what team, excellence was the goal. The JV football team finished with a 4- l record "We had three teams cancel their games with us. We beat Grand Island 15-14 and Southeast 17-14," JV coach Kevin Schrad said The reserve team

ended with a 5-3 record and freshman finished 5- l. The memories made will last a lifetime.

According to freshman team member Alec Sovereign, "My best memory of the season was when I busted my shoulder hitting someone our first game against Lincoln High."

Reserve team member

Corey Williams said, "It's fun to work hard with your teammates and then get the win on game day."

There's nothing like the accomplished feeling you get

after a win.

"It was a tremend c us joy being able to see th 1ise guys go out there and 10w their skill and passion fr r the game," said coach Ter r , Be~

"Winning two of th , la three games was nice, )Ut • was mostly due to the h arni experiences that we en · lur~ throughout the season We had 65 players on the rs-,ster it was pretty hard to de .elo~ that many players. But hal l what made the second 1alf the season so sweet," B~rks said.

"We are literally going to the BOB (Devaney)!" realized senior Gentry Carveth after the team played a great district game, upsetting Bellevue East.

Becoming district champions and qualifying for state was the biggest highlight of the season

The Hawks faced Southeast in the first round, and lost 54-45. Hitting six three pointers and scoring a 22 points was sophomore McKenna Dodd. Overall the team was successful and finished being ranked seventh in state with a 17-8 record.

Throughout the season the girls beat high ranked

teams, like Lincoln Northeast (52-39).

_ Another impressive win was against Omaha Burke where the team was down by 11 in the fourth quarter and came back to win by 2

"With a final score of 6260 that was an obstacle we • had to face," said sophomore McKenna Dodd . According to senior Megan Haugerud, <;mother obstacle the team faced was proving themselves

A reason why the team was so successful was because they had great team chemistry and they started to play for each other and not just individually

Thinking about getting involved? These out of the ordinary sports may suit your interests! Anywhere from shooting guns to skating on the ice, you can find a sport to fit your interests.

Trap team got a three week head start this year due to the nice weather.

Over the years the trap team has won over one thousand awards. Just a select few are in the trophy cases in the school, however most are at the Isaac Walton trap home where the students practice their shooting

"I have been doing trap for three years," said freshman Skyler Berringer. Junior Morgan Mavis has been doing

trap for six years.

The trap team was especially large this year, "just shy 80 members!" said coach Dick Mavis

Joining intramurals? All you needed to do was come to the weight room from 3-5 p.m after school to participate. They usually do games of three on three, but they need more people.

In bowling, the JV girls team placed second in the Links tournament at state.

"Every JV girls member received a certificate and a trophy for the team" said sophomore Dana Okazaki. There were about 24 members overall.

Bowling is a non-school

sponsored sport, and ti ey Iara would greatly appreci 2 a teacher to sponsor the r l.

"The bowling tea w fun. We practiced a lot ,nd well, but not as good a we could have," said junio t Jor Wetzel.

This year's hockey did have enough players tc. mo a full team so the Sout r Ne players got split onto t Southeast and East te rn 1s

Many teachers have ed to technology,

such as clickers. Clickers allow teachers to see how many people got the question right and who needs more practice.

Teacher Matt James uses karate to teach sine, cosine and tangent. Spanish teacher Nila Jaco boson plays the guitar. Both change up the methods of learning.

Math what a joke, right? Everyone knows that it's just numbers after numbers. Then you start to add in crazy theorems that someone came up with hundreds of years ago to play with your brain.

But when you think about it, math can be much more technical than any other department.

Students use many different sites such as Geogabra and Wolfram Alpha in order to help them with their homework and better understand each lesson. In class teachers use items like elmos, clickers, calculators and projectors

"I think technology in math is good. We tell teens to go look something up in the book and they don't want to or they can't find it, but if we tell them to go online and Google the equation or type the problem into a graphing website such as Geogabra~ they really like it That's because they are more technically ad-

vanced," teacher Shukria Gharzai said Elmos and projectors play a huge part in math classes today. They can show students things faster than sitting there and explaining it to the one by one.

"Elmos are a great way to show how to use calculators ... you can put it under the Elmo and it automatically projects it up onto the projector screen," teacher Tiffany Powers said.

Technology in math is not the only thing that makes math classes fun

"My favorite math class was Geometry with Mrs. Bushhousen because she is a great teacher and she always had a way of making the class fun," senior Keegan Sheridan said.

To senior Hailey Batterton, what makes a math class good is"having it with your friends so you can study and do your homework with them."

The Meaning Behind the Words

English has been in the curriculum since the very first day of elementary school. However, many things have changed over the years. Not only did the grammar and spelling become more difficult but the cou rses also bec;ame more diverse.

Now, besides the regular English 9 and 10, Southwest also offers AP Language and Composition, Creative Writing, Sports Literature, and Holocaust Literature, among others, to help Hawks soar to their highest potential.

"English is a great class and necessary for education," junior Ryan Carstensen said. "I like how I can present new ideas and there isn't just one right answer in English."

This year the department decided to change the order of curriculum.

Juniors will take Composition/ Advanced Composition starting next year before continuing with literature classes.

One book many students also read was "The Hunger Games" as either a free choice book or as part of a class.

Junior Cassie Rinne said, "'The Hunger Games' is a sick book It's adventure is intense and suspenseful."

While the English department relies on less money from the continuing budget decline, they are determined to keep growing and supporting Southwest's 10-year events.

"I enjoy seeing my students grow with their literacies I also enjoy eating lunch with the other English teachers," department chair Terry Abrahams said. Story/spread by Natalie Beard and Diamond Shouse

From setting off rockets in Astronomy to doing experiments in Chemistry, Silver Hawks knew their science.

"I truly enjoy providing authentic experiences within science." said teacher Charles Bittle.

Beginning with Physical Science and Geoscience, freshmen did everything from learning about different matters, their consistencies, and how they react with one another to studying the planets, including earth and what it's made up of.

Traveling into the world of Biology, sophomores learned how to take care of plants and animals, using a course long study called "Alive and Satisfied."

Students learned how organisms grow and produce, using an animal of their choice and some kind of plant. They also learned how cells work and

got to know more about the genes in the human body.

As for junior year, students usually end up in Chemistry. They did lots of experiments, learned a lot about how the periodic table works, and usually had a lot of reading.

Going for the last round of science credits, some classes included Advanced Chemistry, Zoology, Physics, and Astronomy where students got more in depth and learn more about certain subjects.

Other classes included Intro to Health occupations, Medical terminology, and Anatomy and Physiology.

Students in these courses learned more about medical science and got a taste of what being a doctor would be like.

Have you ever wondered how this country got to where it is now? What about our government? What about the world?

You can easily find answers to these questions and more, by taking a social studies class. Sophomore Annaliese Saathoffs favorite social studies class is AP World History. Students focus on what the world has gone through over the past 2000 years.

"I took AP World because I really like history and I thought it would be a nice challenge," Saathoff sa id.

Civics is one of the most interesting social studies classes that's required as a freshman. You learn about the constitution and the amendments, but Civics has many fun projects throughout the term.

"My favorite project was where we made superhero posters," said freshman Davis Peterson In this project you would trace your body onto a large sheet of paper

''This is my favorite game that we have played," said junior Angela Lorenz.

Social Studies couldn't be taught without the teachers. Teacher Leslie Mann has been teaching at Southwest for four years

"My favorite class to teach is U.S. History," Mann said. "I find it the most interesting out of all the subjects I teach." Mann also teaches World History, Relationships and Teen Issues.

Exp1 ·

From Spanish to French and Japanese to German, Southwest offers students a variety of language classes. Some students decide to only take one language while others tried two or three.

Spanish 1-4, AP Spanish, Conversational Spanish, French 1-4, German 1-4, and Japanese 1-2 were offered.

Not offered this year because of budget cuts was Latin.

Freshman Keenan Shea said, "I decided to take Spanish because I wanted to learn a second language "

Many students decided to take a language class in high school because they know it will give them a head start in college. Also, knowing a second language can be helpful in getting a job and experiencing a new culture.

"It's fun to be able to communicate with others in a different language rather than just lish," said senior Emma-

jane Gruhl. "I've taken both Spanish and French classes in high school, and I can't wait for the opportunity to use them when I travel abroad."

Another language class offered was Japanese.

"I decided to take Japanese because I thought it would be unique and an educational experience," senior Jordan Brooks said.

Over the summer, Japanese students had the opportunity to meet their pen pals from our sister school when they came to visit LSW. Students from both schools were able to learn more about each other's country and ways of living through writing each other letters.

As you can see, many students sign up for language classes to prepare themselves for the future, to learn about different cultures and to have fun.

Whatever your reason for taking P.E, the bottom line is the classes include physical activity that is good for you. Everything from water games and team sports, to weight training and others are offered.

"My favorite game that I have played is volleyball," said senior Chris Hubbard. He took tearn sports taught by Andrew Sherman. The class plays a variety of different games such as volleyball and new games like mat ball.

FCS students learn skills to help them function in the world. Whether it is learning to sew or how to cook or how to deal with relationships, FCS is an important class to have.

"I took Intro to FCS because it sounded like fun," said freshman Vanessa Kavan. Her class was taught by teacher Jolene Schlemmer

The first thing the class made was a wheat bag. A wheat bag is like an ice

n' hot patch except that this is a natural therapeutic heating pad that provides fast relief from everyday problems. They also learned how to work the sewing machine. Another class that we offer is Infants and Toddlers and in that class you learned how to take care of babies or toddlers. Also sometimes they will go to day care centers and just play with the toddlers.

"I took Infants and Toddlers because I love babies," said senior Lexis Mccaslin. Her class was taught by teacher Jolene Schlemmer.

Different classes in FCS offer the applied arts credits needed to graduate. Culinary Skills, Cultural Foods, and Creative Clothing and Design also were offered.

Both P.E and FCS classes were popular with students and good for them too.

"I come to the library to do scholarship stuff or get time to read," said senior Gina Sanchez. One special thing about the media center is that it has all 10 senior class photos on display.

The counseling center is right across from the media center.

Business classes are very beneficial r preparing students headed to the caeer world after high school.

Junior McKenzie Balfany commented on her Business Management class. "My favorite project was coming up with my own business because I got to see what it would be like if I actually did produce my business in the future. "

Teacher Tony Kobza teaches all of the Marketing classes, which includes Marketing, Promotional Marketing and Sports Entertainment.

"I love teaching these classes because it gives me an opportunity to see what kind of ideas and plans students have," said Kobza. "I believe regardless of what profession students are looking at going into, they will need some type of business knowledge."

For Career Education, it is its last year in the district. Career Ed was a class to prepare you for life after high school.

The new class to replace it next year is called Take Charge, and it will incorporate personal finance.

Industrial Technology includes classes ranging from Intro to Woods to Advanced Cabinetry. These classes help students prepare for careers in Engineering, Architecture, Construction and Manufacturing. "I enjoy seeing the pride on students' faces when they complete their project and get to take them home," said teacher Kevin Hennecke.

Regarding his CAD class, freshman Dylan Wilkinson said, "I really enjoy this class because of all the cool things we get to build on the computer."

"I like how Mr. Free is really laid back and just becomes your friend, but is a really good teacher at the same time," senior Christian Hale said about his CADD experience . Story/spread by Morgan Swartz and Bailey Peterson

Pottery, Drawing, Jewelry, Theatre, Technical Theatre, Show Choir, Orchestra, and Photography are just a few of the many arts and fine arts classes that Southwest has to offer.

With sci many options students are bound to find a way to express themselves through the arts Creating something out of nothing, and expressing yourself is what the arts is all about.

Senior Rachel Dowd took jewelry and said, "I had the opportunity to be creative with many of my projects One of my favorite pieces was a ring that I made out of wire."

"Swing Night is one of my favorite parts of being in orchestra," said sophomore Tiffany Truong. Truong has been in orchestra for eight years and plays the Viola Orchestra is a good option if you

like playing instruments, but don't want to be in band.

Teacher Willie Sapp, Southwest's pottery teacher, has been teaching pottery since 1975.

"I love pottery because it feeds my passion. I actually have a slight addiction to pottery and being creative," said Sapp. Pottery is usually something new to students After taking the class many are ready to break out the clay again

"It was really fun and a good stress reliever," said junior Audrey Berck. Berck took Advanced Pottery and hopes to continue pottery after high school.

With so many great classes to choose from, signing up for one of them could reveal a part of yourself that you never knew was there. Story and spread by Jessi Horan/Talon

didn't know what to expect but then Taylor Scharper came up to me and started talking to me. I felt welcomed.''

Senior Trey Wayne was in an explorer program for law enforcement.

"We do hands on things like practice trafficstops,handcuff-

ing, searches of a person, building searches, and domestic violence practicals," he said

Going into high school can be a really scary thing for most freshmen. But for some, transitioning into it can be a lot easier considering they have an older sibling that has b en there, done that. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SEE YOUR SIBLING IN THE HALL?

Kenna : "We smile and say, 'HEY GI~ !"'

Noah: "He sometimes acknowledges me, and says, 'What's yp?!"'

Abby: "He pushes his friends into me, and says 'Hi."'

Walk into the wrong bathroom

Being in the same class, going to the same church, and playing on the same

team, Taylor Boesiger and Maddie Ober were bound to be best friends

Now sophomores in high school the girls are just as close as they were back in first ~rade Looking back on some of those memories Boesiger said, "We have lots of fu nn y stones I remember when we used to keep pet rocks in our desks back in elementary sch ool :

Ober added, "Whenever it would rain we would go and play in the sewer outsid e of my house and catch tadpoles "

Every day would be something new. The girls recall "hiding out" in their church and pretending to be different people in a different world

The ~est friends still love to be together. 'Boesiger said, "We are always watching ; , ovies and eating Sometimes we will paint together, and after about 10 years we are still pla ying soccer."

"We are pretty much the same exact person. We share everything, and practicall y live together. And usually we go on each other's family vacations," said Ober.

"A tradition of ours is to call each other on our birthdays at around 4 a.m. to be th f' first to wish each other happy birthday," Boesiger shared The two girls look forward to th,=: ir high school years together. Story by Jessi Horan/Talon

Being next-door neighbors can sometimes be tough You may get sick of them, or annoyed

But things are different for sophomores Amanda Olberding and Trevella Lawson. Olberding and Lawson have been friends since they were two, growing up on the same street, and going to the same elementary, middle and high schools.

"A tradition that we have is in the summer, we walk to each other's houses and watch the same television show all day. Some people think it's stupid, but we have a lot of fun and sometimes find a new favorite show," said Olberding.

"My favorite memory with Amanda is when we went to South Dakota with her family for vacation," said Lawson.

After 13 years of living side by side, carpooling, and hanging out almost every day the girls have remained just as close. Lawson and Olberding, love to laugh with one another. "We're completely opposite people, but we still laugh at the same exact things that no one else seems to think is funny," stated Lawson.

"And that's why she is my best friend," Olberding added Story by Kaylyn Fem/Talon

Noah Burke and Griffin Day have been best fri for about nine years now It all started back in the rst grade

Abbi Pleiss has been 16 since July 21. Everyday she took her eighth grade brother to school, and at least two of her friends. Above is a picture from second term of Pleiss taking her friend Michaela Dreeszen home . "It doesn't bother me having to drive people home. I guess I'm just used to it. The first few months of being 16 my parents helped pay for gas, but as soon as I got my job, it became my duty." When asked about decoration of her car, Pleiss replied, "I have a hula girl on my dash board, rhinestones everywhere, and a flower steering wheel cover "

On Dec. 8, Mallory Bastin was anxiously waiting fo r her 16th birthday on Dec. 10. "This whole week has been so slow; it just continues to drag on. I got my Ii cense yesterday so that the second I am 16 I can h in my car and go. It's going to be nice to not have to rely on my parents everyday. I'll end up giving all of my friends rides ... but that should be fun.The best part is going to be freedom!# On her 16th birthday, Bastin received a dark grey Jeep Grand Cherokee and loved the rush behind the wheel.

Tara Brookhouser isn't as lucky as ither sophomores. Brookhouser has to 1ait until Sept. 16 of 2012 to turn 16. "I t te that I can't drive until next year be 1U se I have to get rides from my paren t·

After enduring four years of high school Southwest seniors took their last year of school to prepare for their future. Fall was a major cru nch time to take ACT prep classes and tests Students • were also encouraged to apply for as many colleges and scholarships as possible during this time

Many seniors plan to attend the University of Nebraska while others decided to start a new life and leave the state for college Most students planning to go out of state would have typically received academic or sports scholarships.

Despite the fact that many of the seniors are eager to leave high school many of them will miss it. "I'm going to miss all of my friends, the faculty and the high school football games," said senior Kennedy Naquin. Southwest has been preparing the seniors since their freshman year and now it is each student's turn to decide what happens next Story by Lexi Reeder

Haley Janssen: "I plan on attending Drake and studying elementary education and Spanish with an emphasis on Billingual Bicultural Education "

Nick Small: " I want to go to the University of Nebraska and I'm not sure exactly what I want to do but most likely business."

For example, as of March 1 gas prices have jumped to $3.67 per gallon. By the summer of 2012, it may reach $5 per gallon.

More talk was centered around the new Arena being built to

"I think that in the long run, the Arena will be more beneficial than it is costly," senior Jimmy Vo said.

Costs associated with the development of the arena will be about $340 million.

Trials and Tribulations

A note about the Index:

We apologize for any omissions or mistakes. Our yearbook company introduced a new index program this year . It was to recognize any two words next to each other as a name to be indexed It did this and we had to delete a lot of items noted as names It also picked up every yearbook or newspaper person's name who worked on a spread or took a picture We tried to delete those references as well, but know we probably missed some.

The new program also did not recognize other actual names, like Griffin Day (sorry, Griffin) We tried to go through to be sure to put at least the people section page number by the names, but we didn't always know where else a person might have been pictured in the book. Consequently, the places you are named or pictured may not show up in the index For this, we apologize

ideas With this being our 10 year anniversary we simply knew it would revolve around that. However we had no idea in what way . Going through a list of ideas, led us to "Bigger and Better."

Looking back on the past was great, but we wanted the Silver Hawk future to be "Bigger and Better." We wanted the book to have its own creativity and personality, along with reviewing what has happened in the past.

The opening pages included a spread based on every year's yearbook leading to this year. Classmates researched the top 10 events from that year and then combined different information into the stories. Thus, we had an overview of the past.

·Because each year was different and the school evolved with change, so did our book. We utilized design elements to represent the theme throughout the book, like the BIG TEN Each section editor was also encouraged to add their own personal touch to the section to make it stand out as "Bigger and Better "

The Talon used Adobe lnDesign CS3 for layouts and Adobe Photoshop CS3 to edit our photos Theme fonts included Arial Black, AWPCJAMES and AWPCIMPACT. Other fonts included : AWPCFUTURA.

With school ending May 25, deadlines were difficult to reach. The book with suppl ement had to be entirely done by April 25. Therefore we could not include pro m or any end of the year event Knowing how close each deadline was, I want to apologize ahead of time for an y · mistakes that were made. Please know we tried our best and are truly sorry if we missed something

We, as the Talon, want to thank Walsworth rep. Mike Diffenderfer for coming to our rescue with every question about the book. And we thank the students, administration, staff and coaches of Southwest for returning interviews and helping this book become successful. Of course this book would not even be close to done without our adviser, Dianne Kuppig. Thank you for how much hard work you put into editing, re-pdfing spreads, making corrections and your endless guidance during this year.

The hardest part of the book was trying to get enough photos to truly make this book "Bigger and Better." We want to personally thank Callam Sports Photography, Celeste Labedz, Tiffany Truong, Ericka Lyons, Jake Sedivy, Travis Brady, Rob Wilkins and Terry Rush, as well as any others that submitted photos for our use.

again!

Thank you so much

Love, Your Editor, Taylor Sc

Students come and go through the years but some staff members have been here all 10 years. Not being here through the years makes it difficult to know what Southwest was like in the past. Some original staff members were asked their favorite memories to help enlighten us about the "fun" times in the past.

Silver Hawk

Beneath a high blue sky circles the Silver Hawk. Keen eye. Sharp talon. Inclusive wing. Diurnal, majestic, it knows when to swoop, how then both to lose and to win.

With eyes keen as the hawk's eye may we learn from history how, with grace and courage, to greet the future with eye keen as the hawk's eye.

Above us a high blue sky drops finally to meet the green, green earth. Bello, father sky. Bello, mother earth. Bello, horizon, you lovely and far-flung offspring.

With talons sharp as the hawk's talon may we take from others this caution: not to inflict, but to touch, with talons sharp as the hawk's talon.

Around us yawns the beauty of the four cardinal directions, we students, today and tomorrow, breathing the air our hawk gyres and glides in.

With winds inclusive as the hawk's wind may we learn from the sky this lesson of freedom: how to soar with wings inclusive as the hawk's wing.
