going out in style

Fashion is a very unique thing, it's a way you can say something about yourself without saying anything. To some fashion is just something that comes together without any thought, but to others it's an express ion. Through certain individuals you can tell a whole lot just by their attire. Just by walking through the halls of Southeast High Schoo l you see so many different styles. Style is one way students can differentiate themselves and stand out.

"I am ... retro."

Foster Peterson (12) has a style that's clashed between retro and modern . He does a lot of shopp ing at Play-do 's closet , Black Market , Mishka , Penny Lane and Rip-n-D ip. ' Hav in g my own sty le is ju st an extension of who I am ," he sa id as he was exp la inin g the im portance of his style . Peterson 's style is in sp ired by skateboard in g trends .

Sen iors seem to have a lot offun with style and be more comfortable wearing things they wouldn ' t as a younger teen. Throughout high school students seem to develop more of their own style and learn what their style is. Unfortunetly seniors can ' t stay seniors forever they hav e to leave high school at some point, and it's a good thing they are going out in style

Can you picture it? Standing there, eyes closed body clenched. The anticipation just building up until suddenly, you're completely numb. Some of the people who participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge know exactly how this feels.

Many students here at Southeast joined in on the new trend that swept all across the world on social media.

"The water was really cold, but it was really interesting because that feeling when the water hits your body, you just kind of freeze and become numb. The sensation is suppose to demonstrate how it feels to have ALS and I think that just gives people an idea of how bad it really is," said Hailey Bunde (11).

"Even though it was super cold, it felt good to be apart of something that was raising awareness for a good cause," exclaimed Kaitlin Maxwell (11).

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised quite a bit of controversy on a few topics. Were people really donating or just doing it for the -fun of it? Were the donations really going to the right place?

"I, myself, am for the challenge for personal reasons. I know what it is like to have a close relation to someone with a neuromuscular disorder, stated Brent Toalson.

"I was for the challenge because I believe that any publicity that raises awareness for things like this is good publicity," mentioned Max Kiely (12)

For being such a serious and fairly common disease there are few people that actually know what ALS is.

"Before ALS became popular I knew

of it as Lou Gehrig's disease and that the nerves stopped working. After it kind of blew up all over social media, I decided to do some research on it and learned that it slowly causes the body to stop working and can kill you " said Grady Greenwood (10).

"I only knew it as Lou Gehrig's disease. I was eurious as to what the significance of an ice bucket was to the disease so I looked it up and saw that it was because for a split second you feel what it feels like to have Lou Gehrig's disease and it's really overpowering, mentioned Dane Chromzak (12).

Early in the fall members of our DFA went around at every lunch asking for donations for ALS, anything from a couple dollars to the loose change in your purse,. pocket backpack etc. Southeast alone from just walking around asking people for donations raised $550. With every dollar donated, students were able to nominate a teacher to do their own Ice Bucket Challenge at the very first Varsity football game. The DFA sponsor,Jeff Smith, promised to match up to $500 and our very own Student Council donated $100

Out of the millions of people that participated in the challenge, a few stuck out to many people.

"My good friend Keenan did the challenge in a very creative way. He looked at the camera and announced that he was doing the Ice Cream Bucket challenge. When his friends corrected him saying it was the Ice Bucket Challenge, not the Ice Cream Bucket Challenge, he had this really shocked look on

Brrr ! (Left to Right) Zach Wojtowicz, Dane Chromzak (12) and Max Kiely (12) preparing to get buckets of ice cold water dumped on their heads during the first Varsity football game of th e year. The two DFA presidents worked together to get the crowd fired up with a chant. Within seconds all the fans were up out of their seats chanting ALS loud enough to make it roar through the field. ''The experience was a lot of fun to do and it's always fun to get the crowd pumped up," said Chromzak.

his face and then his buddy dumped a huge bucket of melted ice cream on him. I thought it was pretty funny and a different twist on the challenge," said Jeff Rutledge.

"My favorite was the one I did personally with my sister. She had been making fun of me the entire the time I was doing mine, so when we went to tape hers, I tried to pour as slowly as possible so that she was drenched and tried to drag it out as long as I could," exclaimed Zach Wojtowicz.

The ones that really caught people's attention were those done by celebrities. -

"I really liked the Zac Brown Band's. All the members of the band lined up one next to the other sitting in chairs and had a fire truck behind them. They had taken the hose off and the fire truck slowly drove behinc them letting the water gush out onto their backs. Right after the truck had passed them a tractor drove up behind and dumped a ton of water on top of them. It was really creative and it just looked like they were having a really fun time promoting awareness," said Chromzak.

"My favorite was Charlie Sheen's. He built up all this anticipation to dump the bucket on his head and instead of ice water dumping on his head, a bunch of money did. He went on to talk about how the importance of the challenge was to donate and help researchers, not just for the fun of it," said Bunde.

did you know?

ALS , Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , or as many people know it as Lou Gehrig 's Disease , is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. ALS cannot be cured , but the progression can be slowed down with medication. ALS is a very tragic disease that causes people diagnosed with it to slowly lose function of their body Eventua lly the disease will take

over the body and can slowly suffocate those who have ALS.

With not only the help of our own students and staff here at Lincoln Southeast , but the help of people all over the world , ALS has received over 100 million dollars in donations to ALS research. This research can be used to help find more ways to fight the disease and even help to find a cure

Southeast has set a precedent of charity. Southeast has for many years, been among the top three donor schoo ls i n the distr ict through its campa igns for the Food Bank, fin ishing second th is year.

When asked to expla in the success , Student Counc il member Cole Sch i nstock (12) rep li ed simp ly , "We have the peop le, we have-the resources ."

Wh ile proud of the accomplishment , Zoe Nash (12) , co -coord inator of the food dr ive , has even higher goa ls

Nash remembered her t ime coord i nat ing the food dr ive fond ly. She found eve n the beh indthe -scenes work was fun, r eca lli ng an inc ident- -with uproar ious laughter--when she chased roll ing donation barre ls down the hallway before school.

For some students, the food dr ive was j ust another way to help.

" I li ke to g ive back, " exp lained Tay lor Gr iffith (11), " every day I th ink to myse lf how lucky I am. I have food , and a home , and a fam ily. "

Gr iffith encouraged her classmates to get invo lved i n the char ity

"Why not donate? A can is 50 (t It ' s suc h a simp le th ing We have it so much eas ier than so ma ny peop le. " Gr iffith po inted out the fun side of donati r g as we ll , " You can make an event out of it get so rr e friends and tr ick or treat for cans. "

When asked if she be li eved that events Iii e the food dr ive inspired a change in herse lf or her pee rs Gr iffith saw it differently.

" I think I saw a different side of them that w always there I saw the concern they had always had f 1> r the subj ect. "

Gr iffith attr ibuted her i nvo lvement in tf e campa ign to the culture of Linco ln Publ ic Schoo 1;, citing early exposure to the Backpack Program ar d othe r si mil ar char ity programs.

" In LPS , they ra ise us on serv ice They tea ch us to look at it differently , not to j udge. "

Both Nash and Gr iffith emphasized that t ~e key to getting involved i n the food dr ive, and serv ice n genera l, was human izing the issue

Phones. It seems that almost everyone has one, but what led them to get that particular one? Do they have iOS or Andro id? Or do they have a W indows phone? And what is their favorite part of their phone?

If you spend a few minutes looking around the school, you will see that the vast majority of people own iPhones. Br ianna Gr iffin (11) is among those with iPhones, owning a 4S.

She said that she chose the 4S because, "that is the phone my whole family got."

The second most popular phone manufacturer you see if you look around is Samsung , with most people going with the Ga laxy S lin e of phones, including the S3 and S4. Whitney Gray (12) is one of the students owning a phone made by Samsung, Spec ifically the Ga laxy S.

1976/2165 we are ... digital

She says, "I have Andro id, but all my friends have iOS. A lot of them say that they think Android is better. "

Whether you have iOS or Android , there are many features that improv e the user exper ience For example, Andro id users have the option of pl1tting widgets on their home screens, instead of just having a long list of apps.

Gray said that she really likes, "voic e commands, because it just makes things a lot simpler. "

Griffin also likes voice commands saying, "if you're busy and can't text, you can tell it what to do. It's really handy."

Another handy th in g with phones is the relatively new trend of smartwatches, such as the Moto 360, Pebble Steel , and the Apple Watch. Smart Watches allow you to check your texts, ema il, and control your music all

from your wrist. You can also tell the time, considering the fact that it is still a watch. Desp ite the fact that they haven't quite caught on yet, both Griffin and Gray believe that they will in the future, "b ecause people like to have the latest technology, " Sa) Gray

Gr iffin said she thought they would catch on because, "i t would be a new way to connect to your phone without having to actually get it out."

Students each have their own reaso for picking out their phone, as well as what le them to choose eith er iOs or Andro id. And while smart watches may not be popular righ1 now, students recognize the possibility that they could become the next b ig thing.

Luke Kellinson and Jaclyn Kel lin son met through mutual friends in 1997 when they were in 8th grade. They kept in touch throughout high school and college and began dating when Jaclyn lived in Kansas City. Luke proposed to Jaclyn in 2008 when she moved back here to teach at North Star. After Jaclyn started working at Southeast , Luke went back to school to get his teaching certification and applied for a teach in g posit ion at Southeast.

-At school, we do our best to put our students first. It's tough to turn that off at home. It helps to have an adorable two year old to loosen us up a bit," explained Luke.

"Home life 100% revolves around our two year old son, Quincy," added Jaclyn.

"My favorite part about work ing together is having someone to share the successes and cha ll enges of your day with who truly understands what your day was li ke, " mentioned Jaclyn.

This year there are 540 freshmen. Southeast has 579 seniors. Elizabeth Geren (12) didn't start high school at Southeast , but now as a senior she is excited for what is to come of her future.

" You see we 'r e not j ust older as a senior, a lot can change since you started high school four years ago, " she said.

We get in volved, we meet new people , and have completely different experiences Some seniors can ' t wait to graduate and be done , while others say time has gone too fast. Our freshmen may be super exc ited to start getting invo lv ed and meet new people, but not everyone is. Everyone has their own high school experiences.

Our upperclassmen get the opportunity to go to prom leave for lunch, and most i mportantly A-lot parking spots. Unfortunately, our freshmen have to wait a couple years before it ' s their turn.

Wh il e they wa it they don ' t have to worry about the ACT or how many credits they still need. Salma Gomez (12) is inv o lved in Asian Caucus, Latino Caucus , and Queen ' s Court at Southeast.

" Do as much as you can because time goes by really fast " she recommended.

Along with most sen iors, Gomez can ' t wait to go to

beginner

prom and of course get her diploma. Fortunately, she does not have to wait much longer classes can be hard but with a littl e work it can be accomplished.

" To stay on top of school I plan on coming in after school and getting he lp when I need it," said Gabb ie Dickson( ~

There may be a difference between our seniors and freshmen, but we are still all in the same place. We will all get a chance to be in vo lved and to leave for lunch, to letter, and got prom.

Eventually most of us will graduate and start somethi r new. You never know what will happen until you try. As we get older things will change and so will we.

Eventually we will all get a chance to have our own lifetime experiences. We will learn new things and make more friends. Every Student will have ups and downs but no matter what we will always be Kn ights

We are one school and we are all one of a kind. It doesn ' t matter what grade we are in we are all d ifferent and tha1 what makes us unique.

Even though they had to play through the rough, the bus rides were always a par-tee. The rides were times when the team would ref1ect , give advice, share emotions and support each other.

" It was a learning experience, " says Emily Whipple (12) as she ref1ects on the season.

As all the new students were welcomed into Lincoln Southeast there were many opportunities to join activities. Girls Golf is one of them. Emily Iverson (10) Joined LSE from South Dakota and has always been into golf.

" Even though I' m not the best," she says, "th~ team helped me through everything. As a team we pushed our effort every single time we stepped on the green."

The season was full of new faces as seniors left and new members joined the team. This year there are three 12th graders on the team and they ' re all sad to leave.

Fun, craz.y, productive, and amaz ing were just a few of the words used to descr ibe th is softball season. Productivity came in many forms th is season, espec ially with accomplishments.

"My greatest accomplishment was getting two home runs," exp lain ed Jasmyn Nash (10).

"One of my greatest accomplishments this season was having the opportunity to play and new base and perform better at that new base, " said Tegin Dubbs (9).

This season was full of great games and memories for all three teams.

There were so many great games this year as well.

"I loved the Grand Island game because it was a close game until the end when we won, and I hit a home run ," exp lained Hailey Davis (12).

Softball has aspects that people may not know , like the hard work all the players put in and the amount of teamwork there is.

"You need to put yourself aside

to be there for your teammates, " says Dubbs (9).

Also , softball was said to be much more difficult than you may imagine it would be. There is a lot of extra hard work and condit ioning put in not only dur ing the season, but in the off season as well.

"I would defin itely work harder in practice so we could have went to state, " explained Dav is (12).

"I wouldn 't change anything because I had a great season. There was no fighting, we were all really happy. I just really had an enjoyable time with the g irls ," stated Emma Roberts (10).

One key to a good sports season, is having a good time with your teammates and enjoying yourself.

Freshman football came with many outstanding memories this season, the biggest ones being that the team went undefeated and being declared city champs.

" One of the most nerveracking games this season was the game against Southwest it was the deciding game to see who would be city champs and we played a lot of our friends that we'd gone to school with in the past," said Shea Koolen (9).

Freshman football not only had the perfect season, but they also had three shutouts this year as well.

Reserve football had a lot of team chemistry and celebrations this season. A lot of favorite memories were building friendships and becoming more of a family than the beginning of the season.

"F ootbal I season has positively impacted my work ethic and my friendships w ith my teammates, " said Nathan Hoffman (10).

The JV season has been full excitement and many memories.

" There 's no better feeling than hitting someone hard," adds Dominic Gallardo (11).

This season was also full of intensity and close games.

" The most intense game for me was Millard North. I was scared going into the game because their notorious for a good football program, but we came out of the game with a win," said Andrew Hansen (11).

There are misconceptions about football as well.

"When you're playing for your own glory, things don't work out, " added Brad

McClintick (11).

Football isn't just a fall sport either, it takes year long hard work, dedication, and team work. There really is no off-season in football. It also impacts other aspects of everyday life too. It helps them grow within their friendships and it keeps them motivated to work hard in school so they ' re able to play.

" Football taught me self discipline and to care for my peers, on and off the field," said Gal lardo (11).

This year at Southeast, there was a first. On the freshman football team, there were two female football players. This may be rare at some schools, but this is what sets Southeast apart from other schools and makes them unique.

" I decided to play football because I had already played it for a wh il e. Also, I had grown up in a neighborhood full of boys and there was really nothing else to do, " said Alexa Thompson (9).

Being that there were only two females on the football team, it came with some hardships. " I think it would be so much easier if more girls played compared to just boys on the team," added Makayla Sutton (9).

Football isn't just a sport made for boys , anyone can play what they love. "Just don ' t let anything stop you from doing what you want, " said Thompson (9).

With this year's volleyball season coming to a clos e, many of the players had pos it iv e things to say. W hen asked about how she would describe the season, usin g only one word, Car ly Sheppard (12) said that it was successfu l. Another player, Greta So lomon (11) said that the season was "g r9 " which is more than just "g r 8. " T he other g irls on the team also had a lot to say on what made the season memorable.

Ner issa Mo rav ec (11) sa id that her mo st memorable moment was, "on e game where the coach said that we needed more energy, so we started obnoxious ly cheering and diving to the ground whenever we mad e a point. "

Another memorable moment that the team shared was whenever they had a pre -game dance party , or DP. Accord ing to Megan Dobbs (10), some of the ir favorite mu sic to dance to is by the Cheeta h Girl s Moravec also called the season, " Che eta hlicious," which she exp lain ed to mean, " playing as a unit and lovin g each other with sass. "

O utsid e of just playing volleyball , another memorable th i ng that the team did together was their team dinners - which happ ened quite often. They also volunte er ed for the Cap ital Humane Soc iety to raise mon ey.

Alex is Deets (12) sa id that her favorite part of voll ey ball is, " play in g with my best fr iends

and I've gone to school with most of them since 6th g rad e."

So lomon als o agreed with Deets , saying that her favor ite part was also playing with her teammates. Everyone els e said they felt the same, with Dobbs saying that she also r ea lly li ked the competitiveness. Moravec said that she also really li ked , " the feeling of succeeding as a team."

As for when they started playing volleyball , pretty much everyo ne started during elementary school. Both Dobb s and Sheppard started because their fam ily also played. Deets started play ing during 3rd grade , when her mom signed her up for the YMCA spirit leag ue Moravec started during 3rd grade as well, when she was taught how to play by one of her fr iends.

" My mom made me in 5t h g rad e, I didn ' t want to , but here I am, " said So lomon on how she got started in to playing volleyball.

W ith everybody starting pliying at a young age, and how close they are to each other , it's no wonder this season was as successful as it was. T hey made it to the state tournament and beat North Star , and lost to Mar ian in the las t round.

Intensity is something that adds competition to volleyball. Intensity during sets is showing the drive to win each set and win the match overall. This can also include passion, which our players don't lack at all.

Kaley Knoll (11) says, "One of the most intense sets this year was the entire Southwest game. It was back and forth the entire time game. We had to get a lead and finish strong."

City rivalries have also played a big role in the season. Playing city teams is more intense than an out of city team because you've come to know a lot of the different players throughout the city and it makes for better competition. There may even be games played where friends play against each other.

Kaylee Prenosil (11) adds, "I love playing with such a good group of girls and trying to win each game to the best of our abilities even if it's a tough game or we're down. I'm always trying to encourage the team so that we're always playing our best."

Teamwork is also a major part of volleyball. The team spends almost everyday together after school practicing to get better and better each

week to try and improve their record.

Serena Ventura (10) says, "My favorite part of being on the team is being able to get to know more people and to get closer with a group of girls that I may have never gotten to know very well."

Teamwork also includes staying together, even if it may be difficult.

Gabby Lacher (9) adds, "My favorite part about being on the team is getting so many new experiences that I could have otherwise missed out on. Also, sticking together as a team, especially through wins and losses which can be tough."

Experiencing high school volleyball is also a unique experience, not everyone gets to have this experience. Which is what the title expresses, 39/2165 represents the 39 freshman, reserve, and JV volleyball players out of Southeast as a whole.

Machenzie Pierson (9) says, "The best part is being able to play and experience high school volleyball as a whole, not many people can say that."

Throngs of wet-haired teenagers stood , fe~t at the edge of the pool, screaming encourageme nt, t heir chests heaving und er black swimwear, each time a head breached the surface of the li ght blue water , stopping abruptly when the swim caps were once again submerged. The cheering gave a strange rhythm to the event , punctuat in g the humid air with shrill cries of " Go !"

" Do llars to donuts, we 'r e the most honorabl e team in Lincoln," said Abram Turner (10) , imitating his coach with a smile

" Honor " is the name of the game for Southeast swimming. Regardless of the score , they're competing with honor This honor shows in the way they treat their opponents and the ir teammates.

The dynamics of the team play a hug e rol e in the decis i on of whether or not knights will continue the exhuasting workout schedu le.

" We ' decorate ' each others ' cars , stuff lik e that, " explained Parker Durham (12)

D urham en j oys the light er moments that bring the team together. " I like the team stuff, shaving kids ' heads ." Turner also enjoys team activities that g ive time to r elax before and after practice.

" B ubbl e blast ," Turner said with a gr in, " my favorite

memory is t he bubble blast. We clog all of the floor drains, let the water f ill about six inches , pour some bubble bath in, and then slide through. "

But sw immin g isn ' t the only sport making waves at Southeast. D iv ers share the poo l with the swimmers , creat in g a proximity that occasionally creates a good -n atured rivalry

" It ' s certainly an int erest in g relationship ," exp lain ed d iv er Mckins ey Leaf (12).

" It might not be as athletically v igorous ," Leaf said , comparing her practice to the swim team ' s, " but it ' s still hard."

At the end of the day , though , both teams ce lebrate the each others ' victories. The scores are added together, so a good dive may help cushion for a less-than -stellar heat o f swimming.

The size of the team and the fr eq uency of the practices creates a bond between the teammates , making the ex haustin g exe rcis e worthwhile.

Despite the rigor of the practices, most swimmers do en j oy the workouts. Sw i mm in g has become second nature to them. The time they spend in the water is time spent w ith some of their closest friends doing wh?-t they love to do.

Southeast ' s Girls Varsity basketball team works very hard throughout their season.

"The most memorable game of my season was against Lincoln High. I just felt like I came ready to play with lots of energy," said Jocelyn Anderson (11).

Any game could be memorable but winning in the last few seconds is something to remember.

" Our first two games were pretty memorable because we were supposed to lose but we ended up winning one. Another memorable game was against Papillion-La-Vista because we won by a last second shot," said Alexis Deets (12).

The girls on the team have to be able to rely on each other while on the court. They are also really close friends off the court.

"I would describe my team as energetic, because I never see anyone not laughing," Anderson answered.

These girls are all really close. The girls have fun together on and off the court.

" They 'r e funny but when it comes to game

"I started in 2nd grade. My dad played and my whole family is athletic so I guess it was just natural," Deets said.

"I started when I was 5 because I saw my older brother playing and wanted I to do it," said Beamon.

Pregame in basketball could be just as important as the game is to the players. They need to get in their zone to perform as well as they would like to during the game. Pregame rituals could just be superstition, but players follow them down to a point to ensure for a better game.

"I always drink a strawberry or grape energy Crysta l Light I never change up the flavors. I also wash my hands so that they're clean, it gets rid of all the oils from the day and it feels better on the ball " explained Brady McDo nald (11).

"On game days, I go in at seven in the morning and shoot around. Before the game, I eat just about anything to get me ready," said Noah Kulhanek (11).

During the game also gets intense for the players. Keeping focused is is one key factor in being successful. Players also have their definitions of success. Success can come in many forms that aren't always winning. Improving is a form of success that can sometimes be overlooked when asked to define success. Success was also defined as dedication.

"Th e most important part of basketball

is dedication, the want to play, wanting to be out on the court playing with your friends," said Jace Anderson (12).

F ri endsh ips come along with basketball, too. Most of the team has known each other for a while and hav e been hanging out during the off season. They also hold team dinners throughout the season that are always popular with the team.

" Brayden's team dinner was the best, there was singing in front of a Chr istmas tree," said Kulh9-nek.

The team also goes to movies together and just hangs out when not at practice, but also has fun while at practice and during the school day.

" Somet im es we like to give each other high fives or wink at each other in the hallways during school," added McDonald.

The team has learn ed that positivity is one thing to cherish during the season

"I just try and have fun with all the guys because high school basketball goes r ea lly fast," explained Sa m Mo rris (11).

In terms of sports, peer pressure can be a good th ing.

" When I was five or six , I started because al l my fr iends started to join and it seemed like a fun experience, " admitted Dan iel Hundley (10)

On the other hand,Jack Strong (9) , fell in love w ith the game from the start. The quickness of the game was what got him started.

"I loved how there ' s a whole lot of action and speed, " commented Strong.

Hundley and Strong are both on JV together and like any team , there are strengths and weaknesses to be had

" Our strengths are shooting and talking to one another , communication. Our weaknesses are transit ion defense ," d isclosed Hundley.

Si nce the beginning of the season, there have been ser ious team improvements and accompl ishments.

" At the beginning, we d idn ' t try as much We ' re starting to come together as a team now East was probably the best game we ' ve had this year. We did lose , 52 -50; w ith one second left, they got a quick shot in. Our team p layed the ir hardest all the way down unt il the last second. They didn ' t give up ," confessed Hundley.

But to make those team improvements , you have to focus on yourself first.

" [My goal was] to be a good team player and not just focus on myse lf ," spoke Strong.

Hund ley also set goals for himself too.

" One of my goals I set was to be over 40% in 3 po i nt shoot ing. I haven ' t gotten there yet , I' m at 38% so

Somet i mes it ' s hard to find motivat ion within yourse lf , so you find inspiration in others to kick start your own.

" Lebron James has always insp ired me because of his great work ethic he puts in on and off the court ," explained Strong.

But Junior Vars ity players aren ' t the on ly ones who need insp iration, Reserve and Freshmen p layers need it too. Motivators for these basketball players can come in many d ifferent forms.

" My fam ily insp ires me because I want to make them proud, " explained Josh Marcelino (10).

Th is year , the Reserve team went undefeated wh i ch is a h~ge accomplishment for them Of course the players had a huge part in ach ieving th is, but they wouldn ' t be where they're at now if it wasn ' t for their coaches.

" Don ' t be scared of mak ing mistakes and j ust go out there and react, " Marcelino ' s coach told him.

Along with inspiration and help from the coaches , the teammates push each other as we ll.

" At practice we get on each other if we ' re not work ing hard enough " mentioned Marf eli no Ded icat ion and determ inat ion is what keeps these boys shoot ing for the stars.

Too many people, wrestling seems lik e one of the least -pl eas in g things to do with your free time. All the sweat, the injuries, and the early morning matches sound very unappealing.

Op inions can change, espec ially after talking to guys on the team here at Southeast , who put a lot of work into being a Southeast Kn ight wrestler.

Each and every person has a different reason to be a wrestler.

Ba il ey Pick ering (12) says, "I joined the team four years ago to get better at football and be a better athlete all around."

"I decided to wrestle this year to get better at baseball and hang out with my friends."

Ty Maxson (9) said.

Whatever the reason,

there are some pieces to wrestling that aren't very fun to go through, but there are some amazing pieces that you won 't be able to feel by doing anything els e.

" When I win, I feel like I m on the top of the wor ld," says Pickering.

Jonathan Kil lin gsworth (11) has felt that incredible feeling eighteen times so far this season. Kill in gsworth has won 36 matches and lost 1 this season, being nearly undefeated.

"I plan to rebound my loss at State ," Killingsworth said about his single loss.

Killingsworth also told said, "I started wrestling ten years ago because my brother was wrestling and my parents encouraged me to do it. "

Maxson says, " Be in g on

the JV wrestling team is really fun because of the traveling I get to do, and just wrestling in genera l."

Pre-match rituals are very important to the wrestlers.

Maxon added about pre-match rituals, " We always put our singlets on backwards."

It doesn 't matter if you've just started wrestling, or you've been wrestling for ten years, the Knights will make you fee l like apart of the team

When you th ink of what sports Southeast students play, chances are there are only a few that come to mind. Though there are st ill many other sports that students part icipate in. Logan Taylor (12) , for example, plays Hockey for the Junior Stars.

Taylor says that he got interested in it because , " there ' s no other sport like it."

Another act ivity that students take part in is power lifting, where competitors get three tr ies to lift as much as they can on a squat , bench, and deadl ift. One power lifter is M ike Hoppe (12).

Hoppe ' s interest in power lifti ng was sparked , " when I went to Oh io to see Stan Efferd ing. He ' s an international power lifter and really strong. That was two years ago. "

Another relat ively unknown sport that Southeast has a team for is Bowl ing. One person on the team is Sierra Joh nson (11)

Johnson became i nterested in Bow ling because , " my dad owns a pro shop, and he taught me and my brot her when we were younger. "

Yet another compet it ive sport sponsored by Southeast is Trap shoot ing. One student on the team is Ky le Bubb (11) , who has been p lay ing since he was in 7th grade.

Bubb got interested in Trap because , " I liked shoot ing guns , so I j ust thought it wou ld be fun to try it out. "

Likely the least forma li zed sport that Southeast has a team for is Ult imate wh ich meets Sunday n ights with the number of attendees varying greatly week to week. One person who decided to hop onto the Ultimate.train was John Ebers ( 12).

He decided to start coming because , " I was inv ited one day by Peters , so I showed up and played. Since I was a cross country runner , I was pretty good. "

Each with their unique reasons for start ing their respective sports, severa l students partic ipate in sports other than the most popular ones.

Fear , anxiety, anticipation, excitement, these are a few words that describe the emot ions our Shirettes feel before a performance. During a performance, those emotions disappear and it's all about having fun doing something they love.

"My favorite place to perform would have to be in Prasch. Of course , I get super nervous before going out to perform, but once I get out on that floor and start to dance the nerves go away and I start to lose myself in my dance. It ' s also the best place, in my opinion to perform because it's home base for us. We perform in front of our friends and teachers, it's comfortable and the team feeds off the energy from the crowd, " mentioned Sophia Longoria (11).

So who are the Shirettes? Well, obviously, the Southeast dance t-eam, but if you were to ask the dancers , they would say otherwise.

" We are more than a group of dancers, we are a team. We work together , we help each other out , and we laugh together. I always look forward to seeing ideas from these talented girls, " said Nell Piper (11).

" We are a group of really close friends. I've met some of my best friends through Shirettes and have enjoyed becoming close with new girls each year ," added Alex Hergenrader (12).

" We are a face for Southeast spirit. We represent our school in so many places," Shelby Tuder (12) commented.

Jaclyn Kel lison balances teaching social studies as we ll as coaching the Shirettes here at Southeast.

" My favorite memory would have to be from last year. The Shirettes received 2nd place at our state compet ition. There are several Omaha schools that have dominated the competition for many years , but the girls worked really hard and performed their dance better than ever. Seeing the girls work really hard, try their best, and then be rewarded and acknowledged for the ir

accomplishments is a great experience " added Kellison.

Being a Sh ir ette isn't as easy as it may seem. Our dancers have to work all year round and perform in many different competitions along w it 1 volunteering and partic ipating in Kiddie Clinic.

" There are a lot of challenges when it comes to being a Shirette. It s frustrating when some g irl s don t pull their weight and it slows down the process for everyone else," sa id Jennie Hammel (10).

" The rules that we have to follow can be pretty challenging. We h: ve many restrictions on the dance moves that we can do. Certain dances ha1, to be what we cal l Porn ', wh ich are the dances we dance to w ith the ba ne ," Hannah Allgood (11) stated.

Sometimes people may forget that the Shirettes put in a lot of wo k to do what they do. It ' s more than just dancing; it's like the ir job. They s~ ~nd year round doing it, they sweat, they cry, they get frustrated, but they st ic , with it because it's what they love to do.

"I want people , especially underclassmen, to know that being a p a t of Shirettes is like being part of a family. We want people to try out , we le ve getting new people on our dance team. When new people join, it brings ew talent and that ' s what we look for," explained Longoria.

" We work really hard and put in so many hours to create these d a ces which we choreograph ourselves. We try to throw in cool tr icks, but I th i k sometimes people -forget the effort that we put in," said Piper.

"The Shirettes practice and perform year round. It is a huge time comm itment for the girls and they work really hard. They are "on seaso n almost every day of the year, " added Kellison.

The Sh irettes sit with all the kids as they cheer on the Varsity boys basketball team The kids had such a fun time that after the perfo rm ance and kept talking about how much fun it was to be just lik e a Shirette. "After we walked out of the gym , o ne of the girls came up to me and told me how she wanted to dance aga in because she loved dancing. It's such a memorab le moment for the kids ," added McManaman

Eve ry year our Shirettes put together a big performance with kids in preschool through 5t h g rad e to perform during half t im e at the Va rsity boys basketball game. T his year the girls did a Froze n theme and danced to a remix·of "Let it go."

" We separated into six groups and each group had around 15 to 20 kids. I had a group of 16 in my preschool gro up. T his y ea r Kidd ie C linic was very d iffere nt because we had over 110 children. My favorite part is how excited the g irls get to hang out with all the Sh ir ettes. It really boosts our spirits as a team and makes us f ee l good," explained Meredith McMa naman (12).

Fly ers are sent to elementary schools inviting anyone who wants to join the Sh ir ettes for one performance with no dance expe rienc e needed. The practice started for them at 9am on January 17th and end ed at noon. Late r that even in g , they all reunited again in the commons right before the game " Thro ughout the thre e ho urs we had for pract ic e, we taught the dance, played games , had snacks and ju st had a ton of fun. And th is year we had a theme that eve ry kid was exc ited about which can be challenging to figure out ," mentioned Shelby Tuder (12).

"I t was d ifferent for me this year because I was pa ir ed up with an underclassmen Sh ir ette so I was able to teach her along with the Kiddi e C linic g irl s. It was a really coo l learning expe ri enc e for me," said Ne ll Pi per (11).

Befo re and during the p erformance the emot ions and nerv es were at an all t im e high. 110 kids gett ing ready to perform in front the Prasch stands full of people and the Varsity boys basketball team.

To pull off something this big the Shir ettes r ea lly needed to come together as a team to make sure everyt hin g ran smoothly and the ch il dren had fun.

" We had a lot on our hands and we all need ed to work as a team to get the job done. The seniors always choreograph the dance. Afte r it's choreographed, we teach it to the team to mak e sure eve ry one knows how to do the dance and how to teach it in a way that is easy for the kids to do as well. There is a ton of planning that goes in to it as well. We have to prepare the design and order T-shirts , design fly ers, plan games and activities to do with the kids when we aren ' t teach in g the dance or practicing, get the word out about Kiddi e C linic and figure out ways to make it fun for t he kids, exclaim ed To ri Webe r (12).

"I t was really challeng ing to get the girls quiet and focused.

Southeast offers a large variety of art classes Every student takes an art class at one time during high school.

The business department has been working non-stop to prepare students for the jungle out there, otherwise known as our capitalist economy. Learning to stay afloat out in the job market is only one of the many life skills that business classes have to offer.

As a junior, the Take Charge class is required and prepares students for more responsibilities that come along with growing up, such as filling out W2 tax forms, how to handle bank accounts, and how to plan budgets.

Some students enjoy having monetary responsibility, so they decided to join either FBLA, short for Future Bus iness Leaders of Ame rica or DECA , short for D istributiv e Ed ucation C lubs of Amer ica. Here they can compete in categories such as marketing, business- math/ calculations, agriculture business, and in terv iew.

FBLA and DECA require dedication and concentration, so you have to be ready. A huge part of this preparation is the bi-annual interview fair.

" The interview fair gives students the opportunity to experience a real life in terv iew and the perception that goes into preparing for it," exp lained business teacher Lindsay Tillinghast.

Wh il e it may not be life or death, according to FBLA V ic e President Tay lor Hendricks (11), business can be "cut throat ," meani r s that the competition is fierce and int ense.

"Professional ism is a big thing for competition. This skill is o t just transferrable to school or everyday life, but to a job after college l s well," Hendricks exp lain ed as she talked about how FBLA helps prep ~ e her for the real world.

People generally are excited about tak i ng Industrial Tech classes for the hands on aspect of it, but others may not know exactly what Industrial Tech is all about.

"Industrial Technology is learn ing new th ings by applying and using real life applications ; from knowing how to do wood working all the way to problem solv ing engineering, " informed Industrial Tech teacher , Jane Edwards.

Edwards herself was in engineering for seven and a half years, which turned out to be the backbone of her teaching career

" Teaching was always in the back of my mind and people kept telling me to become a teacher and I finally decided to give it a shot. I' ve been at Southeast ever since ," sm il ed Edwards.

Eng ineer ing is a very respectable

career path that more and more students are following i n.

" It' s not like the other classes. It opens up my hor izons for my college career, " commented Miranda Braham, 10

" I want to be an engineer and taking this class helps me get into it, " said Josh Clyne, 12.

Braham and Clyne both informed us that they had each taken three Industrial Tech classes.

" The class I'm in now goes more in depth than other classes I' ve taken ," confessed Braham.

•

" The difference between my middle school Industrial Tech class and this class now is that you ' re getting better resources, you ' re more active and you learn more instead of j ust doing projects. I love this class, " explained

Clyne

During their time in the ir class , Braham and C lyne both made some memorable projects.

Broham ' s favorite project was building a car on the computer.

" It was something different th a not a lot of people do," she mentioned. Clyne ' s favor ite was when he built a des k )p organizer. "It allowed me to be creative ,· Ie recalled.

Elective English classes are a great way to experience English from a whole new perspective. Southeast 's Eng lish Elect ives include: Holocaust Lit, Pop Cu ltur e, Creative Writing, Advanced Creat iv e Writing, Yearbook, Newspaper, Photojournalism and Law and Literature. These classes can give a whole new perspective on English.

Will Fleig (12) says, "I like the historical aspect of Holocaust Lit, it's interesting to learn about World War II from stories and from individuals."

Creative Writing also allows for a lot of freedom within the assignments. This class has structure within the assignments, but you ' re free to be creative and make something completely unique to you, making your work one of a kind.

"I love being able to work on a wide variety of things and be creative, it's not all essays, I get to write lyrics and poems," says Co lten We lch (12).

Creative Writing comes with many benefits as well as being a fun class to take.

" A benefit is learning how to come up with new ideas more frequently, also there's a lot more freedom in what to write," adds Taylor M itchell (11).

Pop C ulture is another great class

Say it loud! Foster Coll in s (11 ), Stacey Waite , coach , and Reagan Monk (11) practice a group performace for Louder Than A Bo mb.

that Southeast offers. It's a mix of Eng lish and media through music, lit erature , and the int ernet.

"In most Eng lish class es, you can focus on SOME issu es that are happenin g outside of school. But , in Pop C ulture, you can specifically focus on the issu es around you, r eflect on them, and discuss them with your classmates " says Ellie Carpenter (12).

So uth east 's Slam Poetry club, Louder Than A Bomb , meets Fr idays to have practices for_various competitions they may be participating in. At this particular practice, Reagan M onk (11), Foster Col lins (11) and coach Stacey Wa it e practice a group performance.

Group performances take a lot of practice and effort to perfect. Firstly, the lin es need to be assigned to each member of the group, then they may ne ed to practice the lines rep eated as one whole group. It tak es time to get everyone to start at the same t im e and to stay on the same beat during their performance.

Louder Than A Bomb is just another outlet to be creative in the form of Eng lish, specifically poetry.

Our counselors here at Southeast don ' t recommend that students sk ip taking a math class the ir senior year.

" C ounselors encourage all students to take advantage of all the courses that are available to-them whi le attending Southeast. We really encourage our seniors to continue in the core subject areas so they are adequately prepared for college or the work force. Math is an area where if you don ' t use it, you lose it. Taking a year off (senior year) can set them back in their next journey once they graduate ," said ReeAnna Armagost.

" I' m tak in g AP math classes so I can take the AP exam at the end of the year. It would be nice to hav e some college credits completed when I enter co ll ege next year ," excla imed Richerson.

October 9, 2014 the curtain went up and the theatre opened for the first performance from the LSE theatre, The Diviners. A play originally written by Jim Leonard. Sett ing us back to the 1930's, The Diviners is about a Buddy , a young man, who is afraid of water and C.C. Showers, an ex-preacher, who is just trying to help him overcome his fear. Buddy was played by Matt Stephens and C.C. Showers by John Golden.

Next up on the Performing Arts calendar was The Tempest. One of the last plays written by William Shakespeare.

The King with his son and all of his men are on a ship heading home when a tempest occurs. Meanwhile , they don ' t know that their old friend Prospero is on the island and that he has a plan. During the play M iranda, prospero ' s daughter , meets

actors

Ferdinand , the king ' s son, and they fall in love

Nora Larson (11) played M iranda in the Southeast production. Larson has been other performances here at southeast such as Fiddler On the Roof and The Diviners Her favorite part about The Tempest and acting in general, is looking inside the character and making that character her own.

Our actors have a great reputation of working hard and having fun during rehearsals. Naturally, as it is Shakespeare ' s play, it took a lot of work and practice to know their part. After rriany rehearsals and late nights our actors were ready for the spotlight.

Sometimes it ' s hard for students to get excited about gym and to part icipate in class So teachers have to find a way for their students to partic ipate. The teachers try to incorporate many different act ivit ies within their classes in order to allow all of their students to be successful and enjoy the activ ities.

There are also a variety of options in the department so students can choose a class that fits their interests.

" Att itudes are contag i ous whether positive or negative ," says Heather Leader, PE teacher.

The teachers try to encourage and show enthusiasm to get their students exc ited. Teachers also ask for student feedback and t.hey also like to get new ideas for their students.

Nate Myers, one of many science t each ers at Lincoln South east High School, sh oots off bottle rockets w ith his fifth per iod class . The class has been working on their rockets for weeks. Before they started work on their rockets , they had to make a good parachute for the ir rocket.

Their rockets were made out of two-liter pop bottles , some students even put w ings on their rocket to guide them through the air. To make the parachute for their rocket , they used string , tape , and a thin material such as trash bags .

When the students were finished with their bottle rockets , they tested them out on the Southeast track.

Before the rockets are launched , they guessed on how full to fill their bottle rockets with water and then after launched them. The air pressure forces the water out at high speeds propelling the rockets upwards Once every student has gone once , the students who want to try aga in to get more he ight ref ill the ir rockets and try aga in . The rockets are t imed from the moment it is launched until to the moment when the parachute is released The clock keeps tick ing during the hang t ime of the parachute till the moment the rocket hits the ground

The students are then graded on the average time of their rockets.

The students overa ll had a fun and enjoyable experience It gave them a chance to be creative in mak ing the ir rockets It was espec ially fun for them to launch them and see how well the ir model worked.

Tancicia Palmer is a 10th grade master of science. She always enjoyed watching movies in Geosc ience and she also enjoyed it because her friends were in the class with her. One thing sh~ really enjoyed was launching rockets in Phys ical Sc ience because it pushed her to use her imagination and the skills she has learned.

"Science has impacted me in a positive way and I think that most of my success came from my teachers who were so helpful to me. The easiest part of class was taking note and as a result I passed one of my weekly quizzes which is one of my biggest accomplishments in Sc ience, " mentioned Palmer.

One of Hannah Windle's (12) favorite Science classes is Life Sc ience. Of all the exper im ent done in Life Science , one of her favorites was roasting marshmallows her freshman year.

"My teachers helped me learn more effic iently by making sure that I was taking good notes and making it easy to learn by giving me a comfortable env ir onment to learn in. I was extremely proud of myself when I got an ' A' on my plant and animal exp ir ement, " said Windle.

Social Studies classes provide more than names and dates. You find out things that the news doesn't tell you.

"In my Civics class I was surprised to learn that there ' s a lot of things that the government doesn t tell you," exclaimed Taylor Teichroew (9).

Rachel Geren is one of the seventeen students in the recycling program and demonstrates good citizenship by helping reduce the amount of trash generated by the school.

" Be ing in the recycling program really helps me get to know the individuals in the program and teaches me responsibility," explained Geren (12).

"I got involved when I told my teacher that I needed a class to help me de-stress from the rest of the school day. She suggested joining the recycling team and it has helped me ever since," remarked Geren who has been involved in the program for three years now.

"The r ecyc ling program helps the students become more independent, " said Geren. The program is run mainly by two hardworking teachers.

" I coordinate the program and supervise/evaluate the students. I teach the basic elements of work skills (following directions,

getting along with co-workers, asking for help if needed). The students learn to sort, increase their rate of work, problem solve, and work on basic conversation skills," inform ed Sandra Babcock

Babcock is the Spec ial Educat ion Department Cha ir and, along with Annette Hurt, is in charge of the recycling program.

" We recycle the ent ire school every week. We do a different area and floor of the school each day," added Babcock

The seventeen students are responsible for different days to help with r ecycl ing and are also responsible for different areas of the school.

"Throughout the school day people are too busy to do all of the recycling by themselves," remarked Gabe Stricker (10).

Since the program has started it has dramatically improved our schools' environmental footprint.

Vocal Mus ic is very important at Southeast , And if you disagree with that someone is going to give you treble.

Many people are involved in the vocal music program at Southeast , and anyone can tell you that it is so much more that singing.

"I t has made me much more positive, " said Cooper Crea l ( 11) , "I will forever have so many amazing memories. "

At Southeast Vocal M usic is different.

C real explains that, " There is something for everyone here. We don ' t have a show choir lik e most other schools. It lets us focus on more music education rather than being better than other choirs."

Accord ing to Cr ea l the memories that he has made is the best part.

" My favorite memory is the spring concert last year. It was the last time all my friends and I were in the same choir, and the performance was amazing," Crea l said.

"The Choirs here have changed my life."

Sin g ing for Southeast has some non-musical benefits too.

" It ' s helped to boost my confidence as a performer, which is a quality that has helped me in every aspect of my life. It also fosters a really close relationship in each choir, and thats always neat," exp lain s A idan Gagner (12).

Gagner says that you gain friends both in your own choir, and through the whole Vocal M usic program.

"Jh e big concerts always br ing a whole bunch of people from all over the school together. Normally they wouldn ' t be hanging out, but when they are performing with and for each other , everyone is incredibly supportive and friendly ," said G agner.

Gagner thinks that the friendships made are just as important as the music.

" Lots of great friendships are born from LSE choirs," he said.

" Mus ic classes give me that time in my day when I can sit down and do something that actually interests me, " explained Cooper Creal (11) , who plays the clarinet for the Marching Band and Wind Ensemble along with singing in Countesse s and Noblemen.

Creal plays in the band because music is his passion.

" When you hear a song or a beautiful chord and it gives you that 'wow ' feeling insid e, that feeling is something that can ' t be replaced or replicated. "

For most students, the camaradarie of the band and the love of the music keeps them involved.

Emma Lyness (12) has played the cello in the Orchestra for four years and the xylophone in Marching Band and Symphonic Ba nd for two years. Lyness loves the cello because of its unique and expressive sound.

Sam Chr istensen (12) , who has played percussion for various bands throughout high school , most appreciates the friends he's made in band.

"I've always enjoyed walking around and talking to friends at jazz festivals, specifically Gree ley," he said.

Chr ist ensen has played bass drum in March ing Band , and the drum set for Jazz Band and Basketba ll Band.

" Drum set, " Chr istensen said without hesitation when asked

his favorite instrum ent , "i ts more challenging and fun to play than bass drum. "

C hristensen, who has competed with Southeast in the NSBA Marching Band Compet ition, the UNO Jazz Festival , and the Gree ley Jazz Fest ival , prefers playing jazz to marching band tunes, " I'm allowed to improvise and play more express iv ely. "

Kat hryn Shelbu rne (12) put it plainly , " band is my life."

She lburne has played fiute since the third grade and has been involved March ing Band , Orchestra, Wind Ensemble , and Symphonic Band as well as vocal music.

She lburne also played piccolo last year for the marching band and enjoyed the experience.

" I loved that I could actua ll y hear myself," she said.

Shelburne prefers play ing for Marching Band because it allows her to convey the messages of the music both aurally and visually. " We make music with the instrum ents , but we also make music with the pictures formed by our bodies on the field. "

Shelburne has been involved with music all of her life and appreciates the camaraderie of band. " It gives me a chance to be a part of something bigger. "

At Southeast, our Forens ics Department consists of the speech and debate teams. Co ntrary to what might be popular belief, they are two separate teams. Speech focuses on presentation, interpretat ion and recreation while debate, on the other hand, focuses on being persuasive and convincing.

Tommy Bender is the speech coach and Sam Segrist is the debate coach. This year , Ke lsey Lorimer is the assistant speech coach, and it's her first year doing so.

" (Being assistant coach) Has been a blast! The kids are fantastic; there ' s a wide variety of them, so I' ve gotten to know lots of different students. It takes a lot of t im e, but it's worth it in my opinion," said Lorimer.

The students on the speech team reciprocate the feelings. Since Bender tabs a lot, meaning he's away , Lorimer has filled in and is more than an assistant coach in the eyes of the speech team.

" She 's added a lot of energy to the team. Since it's her first year, she relates more with us. She gives us advice, like when we ' re being too rigid," confided Jake Moore , Speech Capta in, (12). Lorimer learned to give great advice, amongst other things, from her mentor, Bender.

"I'v e learned how to give critiques in a tactful way because if you don ' t give students things to work on, there won ' t be any growth and we won't be any better as a team. I' ve also learned how to put up with their (the students) sarcasm and how to pull really good

Let 's ta lk about it! Seniors Alec Christensen and Kylee Yakel discuss future debate tournaments with sophomores Anna Jungck and Jessica Guo

pranks ," chuckled Lorimer.

She's taken a lot from her experience as being an assistant speech coach, but it wasn't always in her plan to be one.

" I went to college to be a theatre teacher and was overwhelmed with all the theatre classes so I ended up changing my major to language arts so it includ ed speech and I fell in lov e with people who do speech. They ' re some of the most accepting people because such a wide variety of people do speech. They ' re very open-minded and can get along with anybody. I fell in love with speech when I was in college ," confessed Lorimer.

Fortunately for us, she changed her major. W ith her on the team, she and the students have created some special memor ies. Moo re and Lorimer both agreed that their tournament at M illard North was a memorable one.

" We went to a meet at M illard North and we rode the bus, and when we got back, we went to C hipotle and had dinner there and it was fun to relax and eat really good burritos, " smiled Lorimer.

" M illard North was a huge tournament for us, people got their national qualifying bids," excla imed Moo r e.

Another memorable tournament was at Raymond Centra l.

" We got 3rd overall as a team , which is awesome. We had 10 breaks into finals, " bragged Lorimer. " We brought in a bus and it was a huge event ," explained Moore.

Through their practices and their tournaments, the speech team has bonded and grown as a whole.

"This year our speech team is r ea lly larg e, which is new for Southeast , so this year we went to Raymond Central and placed third which was a great experience in terms of team pride, " boasted Moore.

The debate team is also is a fun group of people who have created a lot of memor ies this year. One of the most unique memor ies for them was the overnight tournament to Norfolk.

" We went on an overnight tournament to Norfolk and we went on a Friday night because our tournaments are on Saturdays , and on that Saturday there was a snowstorm so LPS wouldn't let the other schools drive to the tournament. We were already there so we went anyways and there was a smaller pool of competitors, so that was kinda cool, " chimed Kylee Yake l, Public Forum captain , senior.

Anyth ing could happen at a tournament, but it's a great thing to be a part of.

" Debate is a really good event. Yo u learn a lot of really good life skills; you learn how to th ink cr itically and how to write better. It just helps you with everything. Debate is really a skill, not just an event ," concluded Yake l.

There ' s no debate that LSE ' s Speech and Debate is the best.

The publications department includ es yearbook, newspaper, and the literary magazine. The newspap er releases a paper every quarter. It includes important recent events issu es , etc.

The staff meets at the beginning of each new quarter to decide what they want to put in the newspaper.

" We ' re hoping to implem ent a ' student opinion or student voice ' section where our readers can write in to let us know what they want to read about," said Brianne Keller, the newspaper adv iser.

The newspaper ' s goal this year was to make the newspaper something the students looked forward to reading.·

The yearbook staff works all year to create a book that covers all things school related from that year: sports, clubs , people, classes, etc.

" Memor ies. The yearbook is all about recapping what has happen ed in that year. Whether it be making it to state, Prom Roya lty, trends, major events. etc. We try our hardest to put everything into 200 some pages so that years later down the road, people can look back and remember what happened at Lincoln Southeast High Schoo l in 2014-2015 ," El li Rath (12) sa id.

So much hard work and effort is put into the yearbook. It ' can be difficult.

The counseling center is filled with a variety of different job types: from counselor, to attendance technician, or administrators. Every student goes through experiences related with the counseling center, and the workers there affect students, but the students also affect the workers.

"I just love my job, I like where I work and the people I work with," Marti Mueting, a counselor, states.

"I felt like counseling was a calling, like it was the right place for me. " Mueting adds.

Jesi Dewitt, an attendance technician for Southeast High Schoo l says,

"I knew I wanted to work with families and I enjoy working with teenagers specifically. This was a job that allowed me to advocate and support them during such an important milestone. "

Dewitt has been working in attendance since 2000, and joined the Southeast High School community in 2006.

Southeast 's Media Center is a lively, and resourceful place to be. Students can do things such as complete school work on projects, find a great book to read, or hang out during free time.

There is also a staff that is helpful, and informativ e One of the staff members is Jeanelle Brester , the Med ia Center Secretary. Her favorite part about being a secretary is the students she says,

"I learn so much from the students they help me expand my knowledge of society."

Brester said she wanted to be a teacher, but decided not to because she was starting a family and wanted to spend more t im e at home with them. By the time she was ready to start work in g again she was happy to already be in the school system.

Also, a fun fact, Brester believes that on average she about 800 kids come in the library everyday.

On the other hand, Shei la Schumacher , Librarian, believes that between 400 and 800 students come in the library on average every day.

Schumacher has been a librarian for eighteen years, and was an elementary teacher

for eleven years. She was ready to move up to a different grade leve l she said, "I was ready for more of a challenge."

One question she hears on a daily basis is, "What book should I read?" or "can you help me?"

Her favorite part about being a librarian she said is that, "no two days are the same and that it's fun, we get to do a variety of things and it's exc it ing," she said.

Some of the ways a librarian at Southeast gets to know the over 2100 students are building relationships with students because throughout the years, Schumacher has come in contact with roughly 36,000 kids.

She said, " See ing the transformation for freshman to seniors and how they have grown up and matured is just amazing."

She says that the most popular genr<;s of books are realistic fiction, and mysteries. Be ing in the media center means you can do school work, hang out with friends and read. So after it is all said and done even though its a busy, busy place it's a resourceful and helpful place to be.

There are five groups of staff members that fall under the catergory of support staff. There are the custodians, the school nurses, the cafeteria workers, secretaries and campus security.

There are several staff members that work behind the scenes at Southeast, but many may not know what their favorite parts of their jobs are, or some suprising things they do as a part of their job.

Mike Reed, custodian, says that his favorite part of his job is, "working with kids. "

Sief Mahagoub, one of the campus supervisors, Joan Creger the nurse, and Gretchen Molina , nutrition services, all agreed and said that they too enjoyed working with students.

But with any job, there is bound to be something that could be surprising.

Mol ina says that people could be surprised by , " how many lunches we serve. Four years ago we served 700 a day, now it ' s 1,100 per day. "

Something about Reed ' s job that could be surprising is that he used to wear a pedometer, and averaged about 15 miles every day.

Another important thing about all the staff is what they do every day.

Connie Campfield, the baker for the cafeteria reported that, " I make all the bread here , aside from the buns. They ' re all homemade and

Joan Creger , the school nurse is hard at work on her computer. She said that the hardest part of her job was when she had to adapt to the new computer system. "It's frustrating at times , but it's getting better, " reported Creger.

done in a timely fashion. "

Creger reported that every day, " I see students as needed for health issues and first aid and make sure we ' re organized. "

Amy Proffitt, the payroll secretary prepares for all substitute teachers in the building, as well as purchases materials and does the payroll and accounting for the whole building.

She also said that, "it's stressful trying to find coverages-when there aren't any subs. "

It ' s always important to remember that sometimes, people's jobs aren't always easy and straight forward.

•

Molina reported that, " it ' s always fun when an oven breaks," and that, " when a register goes down, 95% of the time we can get it back up. "

She also said it ' s hard, "when we have a snowday."

Reed said that it ' s always hard, " having to deal with employee redirection when they ' re not doing what they're supposed to do "

It's apparent that the staff members that work behind the scenes all have something about their job that they can say is their favorite, though they aren ' t without problems and difficult times, with some surprising facts as well.

Signing Day is an important day for athletes playing in college. Signing Day is to solidify that all of their hard work has paid off and that they are ready to move on the next level in academics and in athletics.

A lot of support from families and coaches is needed throughout the course of the players season and off season. Coaches help the players get to the level needed to play a college sport , and families show support by going to games and helping in any way they can.

"Signing day is to recognize athletes accomplishments and everyone who helped them get there ," explained Javier Fa ' ali ' i (12).

Many students at Lincoln Southeast

High school are involved in track each year. Either they get involved to get in shape or to compete in events at track meets.

Being involved in track the athletes are a lot more independent, which is different than being invo lved in any other sport. Although a lot of track is about individual efforts , everyone participating in track still comes together as a team, supporting each other at track meets and pushing one another during workouts and practice.

" It is very self-motivated, it's not really a team sport, it's just about how much work you want to put in to it," Taylor Roscoe (12) acknowledged.

Roscoe started track her freshman year just for softball conditioning and ended up really enjoying it, she now does long jump, the 100 meter, the 200 meter and the

4xl00

" Track is supporting others for what they decide to do , and being determined and actually doing it," Bret Reetz (12) explained while describing track.

Reetz has also been involved in track since freshman year. He now does the 400 meter and the 4xl00.

There are many track meets throughout the season, eitner out of town or in town at a local school. There are many different events to participate in for sprints , hurdles and distance.

Students are able to join track without having to try out or without having any prior experience. Track is all about pushing yourself and seeing where your own self motivation can take you

we are ... lovin' it

Love is on the mind of most high schoolers, but these girls think of it in a entirely different way. In tennis, 'lov e' is a word used in the place of zero or nil. "love represents when one player has zero points. An example scoring would be 15 - "lov e," 30" love," 40 - "lov e", and then game point , if your opponent doesn ' t score. Which is a lot different than just playing tennis for fun.
