'13rooke Berens (11) went to Sharptop Cove in Jasper, Georgia for a Younglife camp with her younglife group for nine days in the summer. She got to go ziplining, swimming in a pool, lake, and hot tub, and got to go on a giant swing. "They harness you up and pull you up really high in the air, then you pull the string and fly down and across in the air," commented Berens. They also got to hold onto a rope and then swing and jump into the lake. At the camp, they participated in cabin competitions where all of the cabins competed against each other in events. She also hiked a mountain while on her vacation. "My favorite part was cabin time. We shared our feelings and thoughts about life with eachother and talked about faith," explained Berens. She got to go with four of her friends and two of her leaders which both graduated from Southeast. A naka Wamstad- Evans (9) got to go to multiple places during her break. For three weeks she was at a girl's camp in Minnesota and they also went to Canada for ten days in June. While in Canada her group went down rapids, hiked, and boated. "We crashed our boat and lost most of our food but people helped us," admitted Wamstad~Evans. Her favorite part was laughing with her friends about how they swamped and submarined.

A step in the right directi on. Miya Higgins (9) and Kaitlyn Darby (9) follow their Student Council guides throughout the hallways with the other new coming freshmen. • "At Southeast all I thought about was how big the school was, but it wasn't very hard to get used to it when classes started,• told Darby. Although, some thought the big school as more of a challenge, others were not as excited to start the year. "I was both nervous and excited the first day. I was excited for high school up until I got here, then I started to get nervous.• announced Higgins.

Stomping grounds. Step Chain performs while the freshmen enjoy their first pep rally of the year. "I honesty think that every time we perform there is always some sort of pressure, but we want to make a good impression and give a good performance, so it's always fun," stated Khiana Bllzek (12).

A picture is worth a thousand ~ words. Student Council members Madi Greene (10) and Finley Peterson (11) perform a skit through lnstagram pictures to explain what Knight Pride is all about with other members. "We normally do some sort of skit to creatively tell the freshman what Knight Pride is. We try to include the "it thing" for that year within the skits and this year it was social media.• mentioned Peterson.

Marching through the door. "I was actually fine on my first day of freshman year, I was in band so I already new people and had friends to talk to, explained Seth Burk (12).

Fun and games. "I was a little bit nervous to start high school. I was really excited for the bowling and swimming, and volly ball here," stated Megan Culhou n (10).

Listen and Learn! The freshmen learn the rules of the building while still having fun at the same time. "We spent time in the auditorium learning about rules and expectations, but it was really fun and funny. My favorite part about it was when they called a kid up on stage and they pretended to take his phone, it was really funny ," shared Adrianna Kersey(9).

oi:hvt? Freshman catch wa llflo we r fever as they adjust to life at a new school

Standing at attention. Students gather in the auditorium to hear a presentation on knight pride and the rules of the school. "There was a guy presenting and speaking about cell phone use in schools, and he saw me on my phone so he made me go on the stage to use me as a demonstration. He took my phone and asked the crowed if anyone wanted a free phone, so i grabbed my phone back and ran off the stage,• remembered Ferrod

,-,--{ he new freshman in the building catch wallflower fever as they adjust to life at a new school. "I was pretty nervous and a tiny bit excited. Overall , I was just a little overwhelmed at the size of the school , because I went to a smaller middle school," told Rachel Odabasi (9). The first day can always be a little confusing for the new coming freshman, especially when they were used to being the top dog in middle school. "rt was a little awkward, because no one wants to be thought of as the annoying freshman," exclaimed Matea Jerkovic (9). However, not everyone will act different, some recognized that at the end of the day it's just another school. "I was really talkative my first day, I was trying to make a lot of friends that day," remembered Maliq Coleman (9). Besides the usual first day jitters , many students were nervous about all of the differences between high school and middle schoo l. For some it could be the difference of choosing your classes, to getting to bring food into class. "The major difference between middle school and high school is that we have a lot more freedom in high school. Like the upperclassmen get to leave and go out for lunch, in middle school we were never allowed to do that," mentioned Emma York (9). Besides all of the nervous energy, a few students were able to manage their first day with a little help. "I prepared for high school by talking to my sister, she told me what to expect and what it would be like. It really helped a lot," recalled Odabasi. At the end of they day most of the tense energy had faded away , and were replaced with excitement for the next day. "I was still really excited at the end of the day, because I realized that everyone was way more nicer than I thought they were going to be. I was so excited that all of my nervousness went away." laughed Jerkovic. First days are always filled with nervous energy, but are soon replaced with the excitement of a new beginning ... the beginning of being a Knight.

Students throw their styles back to the 90 's \he 90's were a time filled with loads of denim,. chokers, and high tops, and man, are they making a comeback! 90's fashion trends can be seen daily, walking the halls of Southeast. Students rock high-waisted jeans, velvet chokers, and converse. 1think something interesting about fashion nowadays is that we are incorporating different eras of fashion into our current styles," Lizzy Lavin (12) mentioned. Typically, groups of friends have the same personalities, which leads them to have the same sense of style, and to dress alike. "My group of friends do dress alike and I feel like this is a common thing that happened around every high school," Jolee Little (10) mentioned. There are so many different places to shop these days. Sometimes this can overwhelm people, but for others it opens more doors of places they enjoy shopping at. . "I like to shop at forever 21," Ally Hall (11) voiced. Even if students don't fully throw it back to the 90's, it seems as if many students at least participate in -the trend. 11

"I do participate, but I mostly wear high waisted mom jeans," Hall committed. • The new 90's trend allows people to mix their own personalities within the trend, to create fun, fresh outfits. "I am a more casual person. I don't really like to dress up; I like my outfits to be breathable outfits," Hall added. Shoes are also a big statement for many people. For most people it can either make or break their outfit. "I personally love vans," stated Layla Schiltz (9). In any high school people can be judged on how they dress. Some students simply are don't care, and many feel like that it is empowering to see other people to be so confident. "I feel like my style is very outgoing and outside of the box," Little mentioned. Lots of places that people shop at are more high end, but some people have a more vintage style and they like to thrift shop. "I love to thrift shop," Lavin voiced. Spread by Mad dy Vinson

Now loading ... Fortnite continues to be successful after providing a beta mode free to players that was released on Sept. 26. There are so many different versions of this game, and that's why so many students love it. Students would even play Battle Royale if it wasn't free. 1would totally pay for the game, because it's the only game I play right now, explained McEwen. 11

Students stay up da y and knight to play new game ----{ he new video game , Fortnite, is all the rage right now, and no wonder. Its a game that can be accessed on all gaming •

consoles, and also through an app on any smartphone for free! There was an estimated 45 billion people that played Fortnite or have at least once and Southeast students are no exception. The objective? Avoid a worldwide storm that hits and takes out 98% of the population , and turns them all into zombies. The storyline isn't what students are raving about though. Its the games Battle Royale thats the most popular component. "What I like most about Fornite, is that I am able to play with my friends, " stated Isaac Appleget (10). With the option to choose, solo, duet, or squad , gamers are able to pick to play with friends or try to take out the other 99 players by themselves. "When you 're playing Battle Royale , you have to keep guessing where everyohe is and it sometimes can be unexpected," shared Shelby Gunther (11 ). Students are so obsessed with Fortnite, that even teachers are struggling to keep students' eyes away from their phones. Even during Southeasts last pep rally, Appleget had a small audience watching him play. "I couldn't lose with everyone watching me," said Appleget. So with all eyes on him , Appleget focused until he finally took first place in Battle Royale. With a 23 kill rate it wasn't a surprise • that he did. Friends around him recorded the win and posted it on Twitter later that day. "We got 72 retweets and 132 likes from the video ," laughed Appleget. So how much time do students play this game you might ask? "How many hours a day I play is disgusting ," informed Carter Ligenza (9),"I usually play at least two hours a day and I am now on Level 50." Tayten Crouch (9) also spent many hours during the school year playing Fortnite. "I will play for about 3 hours a day and I am on Level 52," mentioned Crouch. There are many different reasons why students like the game. "It keeps you guessing and its unexpected in its own way," spilled Gunther. Jemaul McEwen (9) also chimed in on why he likes the game so much. "My Cousin had it and started playing it. I got a PlayS tation 4 for my birthday and then I downloaded it because it was free. When you start getting closer to being the last player you keep.wanting to play it again and again until you win. And then when you do win, you want to keep getting more wins. It's very addicting," McEwen shared. What are the best ways to win the game you may ask now? "The best strategy to win the game is to be in a party, so in a sq uad and stay concentrated , so you can hear win enemies and the surroundings near you . The best weapon is definitely the Scar [a rifle] to use against other players." announced McEwen . Fortnite is not the only version of the game there is. Another version is called Pubg that is only played the Xbox. "I have played Pubg on the Xb9x, but I like PS4 more than the Xbox," notified Crouch. Even though Fortnite has been established since September, it seems that it won't be going anywhere any time soon, especially with summer break around the corner. The fact that you can play the game on the go, also plays a huge role with the fact that the game is favored. Spread by Tylie Kunc Courtesy Photos

► Victory Royale! Fortnite

can be played with a maximum of four players, or solo. Although the game is free, with just a few dollars players can purchase unique 'skins' and axes for their avatar.

Talk about it. A scene was being acted by the MCs over a comedy corner. The act was done by Henry Zander (12) and Pickering. "The comedy corner was a sad monologue, and was discussing that he couldn't do the monologue here, because it was too sad," stated Pickering .

.A. A strange discussion.The cast was performing a skit about an Spanish tradition The act was in a class room setting discussing a Spanish tradition. "The teacher was teaching about an Spanish tradition, and how you have to eat a fruit in 12 seconds, going into the next act New Years day." Brook Pickering (12)

.A. Pew. This act was leading into " Radio Killed the Video Star" Pickering wasn't the only person in this scene, Shannon Sullivan (12) "I really enjoyed this scene, because the next act was such a fun group song," shared Sullivan.

Hernandez came from a background of many musicians. "My mom, dad, and older sister have a musical background," told Hernandez. A reason to participate in singing is because there are so many different styles to sing in. "My style of music isn't the normal, I like singing in an acoustic style," verbalized Hernandez. There is a flexibility when it comes to music for everyone, and a variety of instruments and styles of different music. "My mom, dad, and older sister all sing. All the instruments I play were self taught along with singing," explained Hernandez. • You don't have to take any special classes to be in the Nite of Knights. "I started choir junior year and still am participating, I've done Court Choir and Ars Nova," said Emma Lauterbach (12) Music genres can inspire students into deciding whether or not to perform. "There aren't specific singers that inspire me, but I like R&B, some classic rock, and indie music," stated Lauterbach. All in all, I think that the Nite of Knights is an amazing way to experience your own talents and make friends. You get to express who you are, and show it to your school. Each and every students get to do something they love, and have a voice for themselves. Spread by Tylie Kunc _1_ __,e .... 0 OS bY. Madd

Southeast students travel ab roa d .....r--

{ raveling is an adventure that everyone looks forward to. "I think its really exciting to see other places and cultures you never seen before," replied Alix Gifford (9). Traveling with friends and family, or even by yourself, is very good for your mental health. The bonus part is its also fun! Traveling can come in many different forms. Some travel for a nice family vacation, others travel strictly for business trips, and some just need to escape from the realities surrounding them, and relax! R easons why students love traveling are very clear. Students love traveling because they get to take a break from their lives and get relief from their big stresses. Students from Southeast have traveled to many different places this year, near and far. Many students traveled out of the state this year, and there were even some students that went outside the country! "Traveling is great because it gets you away from your normal routing and you can get some relaxing time," declared Karis Gifford (9). A dapting to another country can be very different, fun, and rewarding. Students get to learn about other people and how they live their daily lives in a completely different culture. "There are different languages spoken but it is an English colony, so English is spoken in Zambia and a lot of their houses shops and malls are A-mericanize, just because of the English influence. But there are different ways of living there ," Olivia Hitchcock-Willis (12) puts forth. V erities of New house, new weather, and a new time zone can be hard to adjust to at first; but eventually you get used to it, before you have to return to the United States atmosphere. Comparing the United States culture to other countries is very interesting.

"One culture difference over there [Cancun, Mexico] was they had these special dances for special songs and it's ki_nd of cool to know which dance goes with which song and how to dance on," explained Jolee Little (9). E xploring other countries is a great opportunity for someone to have. There are many different cultures aside from the United States. Some differences are in food, clothing, traditions, holidays, currencies, languages, behavior, and so many more. Something that is normal for us to do day to day, could be completely unknown for someone in another country. "They are not that different from us," Little added on, "They are just like us in many ways aside from language and food but other than that, the rest is the same." . One of the differences in cultures is that the language is different. "It's hard to get used to the languages over there but since they speak Spanish. It helped me towards my Spanish classes," Little proclaimed. l-earning different cultures can change someone's lifestyle overtime. "I really love traveling so much," said Julie Gifford (9), "you get to see how different people act in different places and you get to see different places and you get to see different cultures and try different things." Traveling is a good way to get rid of stress get a away from life and just relax. If students get the chance to get out the country, the odds are they will probably say yes.

Student Council members push to . be be tte r leaders for Knights W hen some knights think about Student Council they might think that they are the people who plan Homecoming and sell merchandise during lunch but what they might not know is that they do a lot. Southeast Student Council has 32 members and five of them hold officer positions. "My position requires me to oversee everything, day-to-day lead meetings, and delegate committee work," voiced Student Council President Kyle Krueger (12). To be an effective officer, students must be able to build off of previous experiences. "My past years on Council have thought she how to cope with failure better, and I've also learned that a leader isn't someone who is in charge," told Vice President Emalyn Kruse (12). For Averie Frye (11 ), who is the Historian her position requires her to take pictures of Council members, to make a slideshow at the end of the year. "My favorite part about Council is eating doughnuts and having committee worktime," added Frye. For Wyatt Tiangco (11) Council's Treasurer, Tiangco is in charge of all of the budgeting for Student Council. He enjoys helping people outside of Council. "My favorite part about being on Council is feeling as though I did a service in my community," responded Tiangco. Pharna Chuol (12) is the Secretary on Council she is in charge of attendance and making sure Council members are where they need to be. ''The hardest part about my position is having to know where everyone is at all times and communicating with Council members," told Chuol. For Michelle Stewart the student council sponsor she looks for certain qualities in a leader. "I look for students who are reliable, responsible, and dependable," voiced Stewart. For Krueger, his previous years on Council have helped him become a better leader. "[Freshmen year] was mainly observing and watching, and [sophomore and junior year] was taking on work myself, and getting knowledge about previous presidents," explained Krueger. For Kruse one of her biggest challenges was having to be authoritative. "The biggest part about my position is having to deal with people are upset by authority," added Kruse What some students might not know about Student Council is the amount of work they do outside of school. "We do a lot of volunteer work with middle schools as well as elementary schools throughout the year," declared Frye. Additionally, some students might not know what Student Councils events actually cost them. "What my position requires of me is having to keep track of the budgets within committees and specific costs in general," told Tiangco. Student Council is as big part of our school and community but it's not as easy to manage as some students might think, each Student Council member is apart of apart of a hardworking and always growing team.

~n~~~f F or most members of Student Council they attend a week long camp in Wayne, Nebraska called Launch Leadership. "Launch is a fun learning environment, to learn and build leadership skills, as well as meet new friends," told Elizabeth Herbin (9). Launch helps high schoolers connect with different types of leadership skills through various team building activities with groups called Co-Ops. "My favorite activity I did with my Co-Op was the sinking boat one because we [as a Co-Op] had to chose one person to survive [the rest would die] to tell our families we didn't make it," responded Spencer Allgood (11 ).

Every year, Launch hosts two summer workshops in June and July for grades 6-12, and every staff member is a volunteer! "I enjoyed eating lunch with my Co-Op because we talk about our individual takeaways from each activity," added Herbin. Launch is unique because every year there are new activities that are set in place so every year is a completely different experiences, but there are a couple traditional activities that repeat every year. "Boundry Breakers is an event that is an hour and a half long, you sit down with your Co-Op and your leaders ask guestions that are deep, it's completely private, and everything stays within your Co-Op," voiced Allgood.

The stars shine bri gh t on homecoming night I t·s one of the biggest nights of the year, it's homecoming. The theme this year was 'Day and Knight', and the stars shined bright for our king and queen. '!I decided to run for homecoming court because it was my senior year and I've always dreamt of being in top 1o, so I decided to give it a shot and it worked," told Fidan lbrahimova (12). lbrahimova became homecoming queen alongside homecoming king Bryson Williams (12). ''When I found out I won I thought it was pretty cool, I was so excited, and my parents freaked out," Williams added. What some students may not know about royalty is that it takes a lot of planning. "In royalty committee we organize nominations, create bio sheets, pick out the crowns and sashes, _plus so much more," commented Tinsae Tessema (12). In addition, the homecoming court does a lot of work as well. _ ''When I was running for homecoming queen I advertised it on social media, I would say 'if you screenshot this picture and vote for me for homecoming queen I'll give you free Chipotle but it kind of got out of hand," added lbrahimova. Tesse ma also commented about how backwards her royalty experience was, "I thought it was really weird being on the royalty committee this year because of the fact that I was prom queen last year, but it was so cool doing the behind the scenes work." But for Lizzy Lavin (12) she enjoyed running for homecoming queen because of the memories. "What I loved most about running for homecoming queen was walking during the pep rally because I loved hearing my friends and l's accomplishments over the years," told Lavin. For Williams he didn't plan on running for homecoming king. "I hadn' t thought about running for homecoming king until someone brought.it up to me, I thought it would be fun, and it was. I got to walk with my friend Lizzy Lavin at the pep rally and I thought that was pretty cool," responded Williams. From crown s and sashes to walking at pep rallies the homecoming court was what shined the most at homecoming.

is •ife Students share promposals April showers bring May flowers, but also a wide variety of creative promposals. The "prom~posal" idea has been around since prom was invented, and has only gotten more and more extravagant each year with the help of social media. From Sundt Cakes to flashy posters, it's become difficult to top this yearly trend. • Asking somebody to prom isn't the most calming thing to do. For some reason, it can come with a lot of stress and uncertainty. However, giving a promposal can be an exciting venture into the high school experience. Finley Peterson (11) was nervous, but excited to be asked by Jaxson Johnson (12) to prom. Johnson came to her dance studio and surprised her with a sign and flowers. . "As I was walking outside of dance [class], he opened the door for me and he was standing there with a sign and flowers," Peterson commented. Some students went for the classic "sign and flowers", while others went for s6mething a little more unconventional. Brook Pickering (12) decided to use magic in order to impress his future prom date. Kerstin Leaf (12) was just playing a game with her friends when she was asked to prom. "He asked me on a magic card while we were playing a game of magic. When I picked up the cards I noticed there was one that he had made that asked if I would go to prom with him," Leaf explained. Speaking of extravagance, Calen Olsen (11) decided to ask Jadyn Nachtman (11) with a little bit of cheer. In the video, Nachtman is visibly surprised and excited by Olsen's promposal. • "My sister's cheer team got together and they held up signs asking her to prom. It took a lot of planning, but it was really exciting," Olsen described. Bringing a little bit of humor into a promposal can make it so much more special and entertaining. Thomas Reinke (11) made his prom date, Jillian Dlouhy (11 ), laugh with his creative promposal. "I had a poster with some soccer puns and then I got ·her coffee and a soccer ball with prom written on it," Reinke explained. Although giving a promposal can be nerve-wracking , it also has the ability to create great memories. Promposals are meant to be fun and they're a great chance to display individual creativity. Take it as a time to ask a friend , date, group of friends or what have you. Going to prom is a memorable experience and the promposal can only make it better.

LifeJ i· ·~ ~ ~ ~ Wha t is your favo rite high school memory? "Traveling to marching band competitions and hanging out with my friends on the bus," said Cara Lechtenberger. •My first high school soccer game win because It was a new experience for me since I didn't plafmy freshman year,• explained John Ernest Adable. "Freshman year my squad and I, were cheering for a volleyball game at southwest and Finley, one of the girls on the squad, tried to do a jump and a kick at the same time while we were spiriting, and she ended up falling on her butt dunng the game. We laughed about that for the rest of the year," Nyallppe Dak stated. "One time, at cross country practice we were finally coming back from hard workout. We practice in the fitness room down by the wrestling room, and if you are outside, you can walk up and look in. Well, there had been two girts standing at the window above us watching us stretch, making us feel really awkward. In attempt to get them to go away we kept shooing them and making faces at them. Then, one of my teammates decided to scare the off. So on the count of three without warning the whole cross country team dropped on the ground and laid there and didn't move. Needless to say. they didn't leave, but we all laughed," chirped Katie Nelson.

► '"My favorite high school

memory was singing the solo In "Fun, Fun, Fun,"

the Singing Knights Girls song. All of the guys were supposed to sing that part, but Mrs. Moore decided that It should be a solo and it should be ME that Is the one who sings It. That's the only solo I've ever sung," Jared Buehler gushed.

6 u1~& unexpected What is some advice someone told you before coming to high school? "Some advice I wish I knew would have to be that being a freshman is truly hard. You have a lot more homework and you have to keep up with it. It's a lot of responsibility," commented Nolan Fuelberth. "I wasn't aware that we are allowed to keep our backpacks and bring them to class, so I wish someone told me about that," stated Caroline Haws.

"If I were to have someone give me advice about high school, I would want them to tell me to be prepared for the amount of homework you'll have. And to actually pay attention in class so you can do your homework and not fail the tests in the classes you have,• said Mya Lawson.

A "I wish someone told me to stay organized because it helps me know where something is when I really need it, explained Zackariah Belmudez. 11

"1 wish I was told how time consuming homework can actually be. Sometimes homework can take up a good amount of my time," informed Kenelsha Dean.

( o win each game, go to the playoffs, and partake in the state championship are just a few goals of a football team. But for a lot of athletes, there's a bigger goal that they try to achieve; that goal would be to play football in college. "I've wanted to play college football for 8 years," commented

Bryson Williams (12). But with the hard work, time and effort how would someone

be motivated to play a sport and balance schoof work? "I want to play college football because of the love for the sport and it helps with education," answered Kevin Tran 1121, who mentioned football is his favorite sport. But Tran didn't just fall in love with the sport. He has been wanting to play since the first time he started playing, in sixth grade.

He mentioned that if he could go anywhere he would go to University of Nebraska because it's his hometown and his friends are are already here, but he does have an offer from the University of Nebraska Kearney. For Beau Panzer (12) he has only been wanting to play college football since a freshman in high school. He has gotten an offer from Simpson college to play. "Playing college football helps pay for school, and I want to play because of the love for football and I don't want to give it up," mentioned Panzer. Panzer wasn't alone in trying to find a school to play for. His coaches helped get SGhools to look at him. Gottula helped me by getting coaches interested in me and talked to coaches that he knew," Panzer explained. Panzer also advised that if your someone who wants to play a college sport, that if you have film send it to coaches and don't skip years of playing. Knowing that he was going to college to play football, Williams didn't have to change much of his performance because he gives his all everyday anyways. "Honestly, I didn't really change too much, I always pl9y as hard as I can," commented Williams. Spread by Claire Strong Courtesy Photos

lif~ One of the most exerting ~ about being on a football team is celebrating ochievements as . a team. "One of the best moments of OU" season is when we were ahead of Pius 17-13 in the fouth quarter,· told footboll coach Joshua Severin "We got the ball back with about 5 minutes left in the game and got a few first downs and managed the dock. This allowed us keep the ball for the rest of the game, n.n out the clock, and beat o really good Pius team,· added Severin.

ui~ re.,... t· /V\otiva 10n JV, Reserve, and Freshman Football stay focus this season

1he Freshman football team finished the season undefeated at 8-0. Freshman teams are always an interesting story because there are a lot of different gr0t4)5 of players coming together to form the team," recalled Freshmen coach Troy Bergt. We get players from different midget teams/ programs and some players that haven't played football a whole lot and we have to come together ond be a team," added Bergt "The players did a really good job of that this ye and that led them to having good success on the fiel Ifs always good to see players accept their roles on team and that helps the overall success of the team," told Bergt, "It's Lnfortunate, but nqt all players can be starters and we had a lot of kids understand that whi also knowing that they are an important part of the team." 'We had great scout teams this year and those players don't get enough credit for the job they do and how crucial it is in helping the team. The cooching . staff also did a great job of preparing the team for what they were going to face week to week," Bergt ended.

When someone thinks about football the first things they might think of are touchdowns, wi~s and lo~ses, or even a student section. But • what if we remove all of that, what is left? The players, and what do the players have that makes the games special? Motivation.

"My parents motivate me to play well in football because they want me to be successful in what I do," told Reserve football player Jack. or

Doty (10). For most football players, it's what you do off the field that makes a bigger impact on them. "Something that plays into the way I play football is DECA, because I've learned about business and that will help me with the football industry," JV football player Max Overton (11) declared. Aside from regular football practices some players like Riley Mills (9) have trainers. "I have a trainer who helps me stay fit, eat right, and just staying healthy in general, it helps me push myself more and stay motivated," responded Mills. Some of the players motivation comes from being in the game for so long. "My dad signed me up for football when I was young, I've grown up watching football as well, and that's why I love it so much," Doty pointed out. Not to mention some players find their motivation through other activities that they do. "I can see my football side coming out with certain things, sometimes I get more aggressive, and I get really hype," Overton joked. For some players they can see their motivation through other sports that they do outside of football. "I see my motivation come out when I box because it involves strength and helps me stay fit,'' Mills noted. they Throughout anything our So~theast football players do _ always strive to stay _ motivated and get better.

Breaking D 9~ ( u l/Jo4{ Boys cross country team overcome many challenges, without slowing do wn their pa ce M any people view cross country as nothing more than just running. However, for the· boys cross country team, • that is the farthest thing from the truth. "The hardest part about cross country is having the right mentality when racing. It is very much an individual sport so it's hard to get support when you are racing," shared Canyon Skare (11 ). For some students on the team having the mental strength to keep going is a challenge of itself, but that is not the only challenge that they have had to face this year. "I had two knee surgeries over the summer. I had to work really hard to get back and be ready for the season, and I managed to make it on varsity," commented Avery Watts (11 ). Even though some may view cross country as an individual sport, the team as a whole had to work together this year to overcome a major obstacle, graduation. "We had six of our top ten runners graduate last year, it was a huge obstacle that we had to overcome as a team. Overall, our team wasn't the best this year, but we did pretty good for having a newer team," mentioned Watts. Even with a newer team, and the struggle to get back in shape for running, the entire team remembers the HAC meet and all that happened. While the team prepared and started the race, the sky turned dark and poured down rain. "It was really muddy, for myself though it did not impact me as much. In fact, it was actually my best record," remembered Jaden Randall (9). For some students, the rain brought more than muddy tracks and wet clothes. . "Weather makes us closer as a team . It's always a bonding time when you have to do something together that none of you want to do," recalled Eric Maw (10). Throughout the season the boys cross country team has broken down the wall and overcame challenges like, weather, graduation, and even surgeries. But they overcame all of their difficulties together, as a team. "My favorite part about cross country is the people that I get to meet, there are people on the team that I normally wouldn't talk to. You get a lot of friends here," told Will Turner (12). Cross country is more than just a sport about running, it is about dedication, commitment, and pushing yourself, so that you can overcome any challenge that is in your way.

"One of the struggles I went through was when I'd get home around 9pm to 10pm due to cross country and play practice and had to get homework done the next day," commented Carlie Thompson (11 ). Homework was one of the biggest struggles the team has faced alongside practices. "Time management was a big struggle because of the long practices and homework," exclaimed Taylor Washburn (10).They may face struggles both personal and as a team, but they always overcome them in the end. "I overcame my struggle with homework by utilizing my weekends and late nights of working," retorted Thompson. Not only do they overcome their struggles, but they change from their experiences.

give this match their all. It was this kind of intensity and concentration that led the varsity boys tennis team to take fourth at state this season. "We have been improving each year and it was satisfying to know that our hard work had paid off in the end of the season after putting so much time and effort into our team this year," explained Spencer Allgood (11 ). This season was quite a success for the team because they placed better than the year before. Each year they get better and better, learning from their mistakes. Throughout the season the boys hopes got higher as they got better and closer to states. "At the start of the season I thought we would do the same as last year but as the season went on my hopes got higher," commented Jack Bergmeyer (11 ). The varsity boys team worked hard and stayed focused throughout the season. They made sure to practice and get on the court as much as they could and try to do better for their next game. Most of them try to get on the court and practice throughout every season. "I tried to do my best as much as I could and [coach] Salem always helped • push us to work harder; he encouraged us a lot," informed Grant Roscoe (12). Not only does Salem encourage them but they encourage each other. Being a close team really helped them accomplish their goal this year of getting in the top five at state. The boys made sure to stay close through the season, so that they could work hard while playing a match but still enjoy it and have fun. They stayed close by having team dinners and hanging out outside of school whenever it was possible for them. "My favorite part of playing tennis at Southeast would be my team, we hangout all the time and it helps us still have fun on the court," claimed Allgood. The varsity boys team didn't only get far in state, they also became far as a unity. Spread by Jalysa Kratke Courtesy Photos Go, fight, win! Keeping each other

Injuries are our best

,t~6 \his season got a little stressful for the boys varsity tennis team. They had quite the bit of injuries towards the end of the season making it difficult at state. "This season was great and a ton of fun, but the injuries definitely hindered our 11 performance at state, commented Grant Roscoe. Jack Bergmeyer broke his jaw a week before playing at state. Roscoe dislocated his shoulder at the Semi-Finals match at state which caused his partner, Milo Ciotti (11 ), and him to forfeit the match. "Next season I hope we can stay healthy and try our hardest not to get injured, especially before a big match," explained B_ergmeyer. Although the injuries effected playing at states a lot, they pulled together and encourage one another to put 110% into their • matches.

Senior g o lfe r 'putts' team in a g o o d p la c e "Abby Peterson (12) is always positive and encouraging, she makes me want to be a better player," smiled Natalee Gann (11 ). Peterson is the captain of the girls golf team and she seemed to have had a positive effect on all the other girls on it. She was the only senior on their team this season, this effected her quite a bit. "It sucks that I'll be the only person leaving this year, all the girls looked up to me and I won't able to be there in the same way next year as I was this year," informed Peterson. Although there were some stressful parts about being a senior, for Peterson, there were a lot more positives. Peterson always tried to keep her head held high and look on the bright side of everything, she always helped her team to do the same as well. Her team hopes to continue her positive mindset next year when Peterson isn't here. "Abby is fantastic, she is always positive and she made our practices lighter when we were all down and having a hard time," complimented Katie Whitehead (11 ). As a captain, Peterson always remembered to keep the other girls feelings in mind. Before making a decision she tried to make sure that all the girls opinions were heard. She also tried her hardest to make it fun for not only herself but her team. The girls liked to have fun on and off the green. They enjoyed going to practice everyday to spend time with each other and they enjoyed having team dinners. This helped them build trust within the team and in sports trust is a huge deal. "I would say the greatest part about golf is the people I play with, we all have a really good connection," commented Gann. The girls are not only involved with each other in the sport but in each others everyday lives. They all have each other's back and regardless how they play on the course, they are still a team no matter what. She took care of the team by letting them know she was always there for them. Peterson has helped the girls find their strengths and weaknesses, then she helped them try and improve on their weaknesses. "A leader is someone you can look up to and Abby fits into that position perfectly because she just always knows what to say at the right time," stated Grace Nelson (9). Peterson has impacted these girls a lot. She has not only helped them improve to be better players, but she has also made sure everyone is welcomed and doesn't feel pressured to do well and just relax. Since the first day Nelson joined the team, Peterson has made sure that she has felt comfortable and has made sure she wasn't left out of the group since she was new at the time. "We didn't play that well at the districts but I ·was so proud of my team because we kept our heads high and we all knew that each one of us did the best we could," explained Peterson. Peterson has accomplished a lot as a captain, not just as a leader but as a player. Peterson improved on her short game and cutting down on her strokes. She also medaled at Conference and at the City Meet. They ended the season off well, thanks to Peterson's leadership at their side. Spread by Jalysa Kratke

Johanna Graff has been teaching for 14-15 years, 10 years at southeast. This is her first year ever coaching. Graff played in high school and college so she decided to coach the girls golf team here at Southeast. "My favorite part about coaching the girls is getting to know the girts personally and not just in school ways," commented Graff Graff loves teaching and coaching. She loves getting to be able to work with the students. Graff is very inspired by students perspective on the world and how they see things. "I love getting to learn how my students grasp onto learning new things," smiled Graff. One thing that really stuck out and she will always remember is how supportive and welcoming her team was. Each player was very kind to each other ancf worked really well as a team. _ "I won't just remember this year because it was my first year coaching but I will 11 remember how much the girls improved on their golf skills and how close we all were, explained Graff. Graff plans on continuing coaching the girls golf team. She enjoys getting to help young, athletes not only become better players but being better and stronger girls in their everyday lives.

{ his was a very special season for the four seniors, Peyton Rhode, Cassidy Plooster, Maddie Renn and Melanie Brecka. Thes four have played together since 7th grade at Nebraska One and got to spend their senior year of high school on the court together too. "Ifs been so much fun getting to play my last high school season with my four best friends because we know exactly what the other is thinking so we work very well on the 11 court, Brecka expressed. Plooster transferred from Pius over the summer to put them all at the same school. This was a great way to go out for all the seniors and made their last year of high school really special. "Spending the last year playing with them has been one of the best things that could've happened. We trust each other on the court and know how each other work and playing your favorite sport with some of you favorite people is never not a great thing," Plooster exclaimed. They won't be completely separated Brecka and Renn will both be going to UMKC to continue their volleyball careers. Plooster and Rhode both are going to Nebraska Wesleyan where Rhode will be on the dance team and Plooster will play volleyball for Coach Cain. Photos by Vanessa Thomas and Tracey West po s

The teams both wore alternate pink uniforms and auctioned off items to people who went to the game. "This year it meant a lot to us and we raised more money and raffled off more items," Shelby Gunther (11) stated. Together they raised over $1,000 which went directly to the Saint Elizabeth's Hospital. Every home run the team hit, money went back to the fund the teams were raising. "One girl on the team, Kate, said she was going to hit a home run specifically for that," Yessi Galvan (12) exclaimed.

Hoop-Dee-Dao Varsity Boys Basketball ta k e on the season w it h three seniors I-e av e everything you have on the court. That's the senior mentality of this year's basketball season. This year the Varsity boys basketball team has only three seniors, compared to the nine seniors on the team last season. This was a huge adjustment for the whole team to take on, as well as a learning curve for the underclassmen. "It was ju.st different. Usually teams have six or seven seniors. Having three, we just had a really young team. It was difficult to get the chemistry going, but later on in the year we knew each other better," Beau Panzer (12) explained. With only three seniors they were tasked with taking on extra r~sponsibility and leadership roles with in the team. "I think Beau, Ja ck Elbracht, and Jack Strong did a good job playing with the team and leading us," Isaac Gifford (10) told. With having such a young team, most players were focused on doing better in the future, and already planning ahead for next season. However, this is the seniors last season for high school basketball, which changed how they played. "Knowing it was my last season, was something I really tried to think about throughout the season. Any time people complained, or sometime practices were tough, and people didn't want to go to practice: you have a headache, you have school work to do. Everytime I thought about that I would also think that this is m y last opportunity to do this, ju st try to cherish your last time on the court. I thought about how lucky I was. There was a lot of people who would want to be playing varsity basketball, that don't get that opportunity. I tried to really enjoy every minute of it, accept it was my last season, but appreciate it at the same time," Jack Elbracht (12) stated.

This years basketball season may have not gone as expected, but the team is already preparing for next year, ;th help from the three seniors. "We didn't expect to do as bad as we did, but I think the seniors helped out the younger guys to get better for next y iar; they have a really bright future," Panzer voiced. Even when games get tough, the boys could always ex r-:, }Ct the student section to cheer them on. Sometime the cheerir J student section even makes the early morning practices, ar i late night bus rides all worth it. "Personally I love the student section, especially when i1 Jet~ loud. I remember the game the game we played [against] E st, we had a huge student section. That game was crazy. It we a lot of fun to play in, and a great environment. You know, th f season becomes a grind, and basketball takes up all your t 1 1e. So, to have that energy from the student section is really ni, ~." Elbracht spoke. Next season ou r varsity boys will start with a fresh reco r and a goal of winning state in mind. Hard work and dedicat1 1 will always be present no matter how many seniors are on 'r 3 team. "Work your tail off. Basketball isn't an easy sport, you ha 3 tc really work hard to be good at it," Gifford concluded. Our seniors have sure worked their tails off this season , 1d provided the younger players a great foundation for season ahead. Spread by Maddie Elbracht Courtesy Photos

, . , Hoops they did it again. During the Norfolk game on Feb. 2, coach Bradley calls a timeout and tells the team what they need to work on. The team tried to win as many games as they could, and had hopes of winning the city championship. "Our goal was to win city, and that didn't happen. I think it was a learning experience this year; we were a young team with a lot of talent," Gifford explained. Photo by Maddie Elbracht

, . , Take it to the net. Michael Anderson (11) takes a drive to the hoop during the Dec. 22nd game against the Islanders. Anderson is a returning varsity player and has seen many changes from last season, compared to this season, including many less senior players and a new head coach. "When you're in a big gym with a lot of fans, and the crowd is going wild, some of the younger players froze up. It's just the maturity level of the game, and the physicality just hurt us, not having older players there. I don't really think of is that different. I'm still going to do what I do on the court; it doesn't matter who the coach is. It just matters how close you are with your coach; that's what's different about it," Anderson stated.

nit t ~ cf JV, Reserve, and Freshman Basketball train for the season 1-et's buckshot it! In basketball it takes a lot of training to be able to be on and apart of the team. The students go through a lot of exercises and training throughout the year, whether on their own or apart of a different sport. Being on another sports team can help them get into shape for tryouts and make it easier for them to get on the team. "I was apart of cross country before being on the basketball team. It helped me with endurance and made my jumper consistent," remarked Corey Krueger (9). Running and doing weights helps strengthen their muscles to be able to do trick shots with basketballs and helps better their skill. "We have to run and do weights," commented Jayden Hunt (10). Running keeps them fit and agile throughout the year. They have to condition themselves to be ready for when the season starts. "We have open gym all summer long for training and conditioning that we have to do before the season starts " ' exclaimed Barrett France (9). Not only do they have to train during the season, but they also have to train when the season is up. They even have favorite workouts they do throughout the season. "My favorite workout is the box runs," retorted Hunt. Box runs help build strength in lhe hamstrings to help better their skill of basketball. There are also a bunch of drills that they do to train such

as shooting drills, warm-up drill~, competitive drills, and so many .others to help get them into shape for games. "I love to do the shooting drills such as pressure jump shots," added Lukas Boehm (11 ). There are a various amount of workouts such as rebounding, which can improve their balance, reduce their body fat, protect their joints, and strengthen their muscles and bones. "My favorite workout is rebounding," claimed France. He trains five times a week, Monday through Friday. Although, some of them train ranging from five to three times a week for around two to two and a half hours each day. Before games they usually train for one and a half hours. In the training they have required workouts they do to keep in shape. "Running everyday is a required workout," explained Hunt. Workouts are required for tryouts. to be on the team and to keep being on the team. • They do lifting all summer long and they also have summ er basketball to be able to make it onto the team. "Lifting is a recommended workout towards the end of the summer and is required to make the team," recounted France. They have to start basketball three weeks before games and have one hour to thirty minute practices Saturday mornings. Despite having to train for long grueling hours many times a week they enjoy every minute of it. Spread by Evangelia Lengel Photos by Maddie Elbracht

o th ~ -· Take it_ t_ Varsity Girls Basketball overcome exp~ ons 1.3asketball seaon is known as one of the longest and most exhausting sports of high school athletics. It takes a lot of time, dedication, and heart. The Varsity girls basketball team was no exception. They worked hard and overcame the odds. Most students thought they wouldn't win many games, but they proved them wrong and won a • total of nine. "The most important thing is to stick with it. It's a really long season so it gets tiring. My four years were worth it. It just helps you develop good bonds. [It] makes you a team player which is something you carry with you throughout life," advised Maddie Renn (12). Another challenge of the season was that there were only two returning Varisty players, and only one was a senior. The other returner, a junior, was Cassie Nash . "It was kind of hard adjusting without the rest of them. Last year, my role was a lot smaller and this year it changed jurastically and so I had to adjust to that," explained Nash. Nash had to play a lot more than usual this year since the players who used to play her position graduated last year. . "Karsin Underwood [who graduated last year] played my position last year so on the court I had to trust myself knowing she wasn't there. Also, off the court as well I had to be an example for younger levels," stated Nash. Since there were only two varsity returners, most of the team was new to this level of basketball. The team had to get to know each other and bond in order to play as a team . "[My· relationship with my tea~] was really good. I didn't really know a lot of them closely before the season but I got to get to know them really well and make a lot of close friends," told Renn.

Since Renn is a senior, her mentality about the game was different than the rest. Renn is going to college to play volleyball, so this was her last season of basketball ever. "I thought of every time I go out on the floor as the last. It made me play harder and take it all in compared to any other seasons. It was more emotional because everything is ending. It was also my last sport at Southeast,,,.explained Renn. Renn was also sidelined during the last part of the season. Tragically, she was injured during the second to last game against Fremont and wasn't able to compete with her team. "[The biggest challenge for me] was after the Fremont game when I tore my ACL. I've never been sidelined or injured before so I had to help my team in different ways instead of being on the court," told Renn, "I told them things on defense that they can't see as much, being a big communicator from the sidelines, being po~itive. People get frusturated easiJy so being a leader in that way." Despite one of the key players being injured, the girls never gave up. "[We overcame] games that we were expected to lose like Southwest [Southeast · won 34-28]. The team came together and played hard and never really gave up. Only having two returners we had to overcome the rollercoaster that was the season and fight through it all ," mentioned Nash. The group of girls fought hard throughout the season to make the two seniors have the best season they possibly could and proving wrong the ones who had doubts about them.

They had made it to the finals, and they had successfully made it to this championship. They were in it to win it. "At the beginning of the season we lost by 40 points against them," Hailey Mohler (9), a member of the Freshman girls basketball team comments. "Either way we were proud of how far we got." The team lost by 8 points, but it was a giant step up for the girls. Their goals and accomplishments to play with integrity and persevere had been redeemed. "Even though we lost more games than we wanted to, we were still in it to win it," Hailey smiled. "We try not to let our losses get us down too much." The Reserve girls basketball team also battled the Silverhawks on the court, and it '!'as their last game of the season. If they had won this game, they would have made it to districts. The girls main priority was to keep up the positivity, and encourage the other girls to stay strong throughout the game and give all they had. ◄ All about teamwork.

"I want my teammates to view me as a leader," Ashley Cole (10), who played in her second year in the Reserve girls basketball team, stated. "I also want them to see me as a fun and positive person as well." Their positivity and good attitude ultimately dominated the court. Even if they lost by one point, the team continued to glow with optimism. It was maoe evident in the stands, and to their school as a whole. "I feel like my leadership skills have really improved because I'm a returning player from last year," Ashley reminisced. "I want my teammates and anyone who wants to go out for basketball to always try their hardest, and give their best effort." Despite the JV teams ups and downs the girls pushed everything negative out of their heads and played through the season, and focused on working together. "I was one of the captains of the JV team this year," shared Claire Euses (11 ). "I tried to make sure that everyone was having fun other than worrying and stressing about basketball."

"Take your mark! Go!" yelled Brett Foster (11 ). This season has been harder than usual because of the massive lack of upperclassman leadership. Through this whole season many different students have stepped up in the role as a team leader. "I look up to little Brett because he is a good person and a person I would like to be motivated in the pool and in life like him," said Aaron Fusion (11 ). Through all the thousands of yards and meets the season throws at these athletes they always find time to unwind and have a little fun when they can. "I always had fun spitting freestyles on the bus ride back home after a long meet," voiced Ferrod Fleming (9). The boys swim team always warms up by themselves before a swim meet. Usually condensed down to two lanes. "The best part of a swim meet is the ride home because we get to sleep and eat food," explained Cooper McClure (10).

After the season ends the most important thing to do is to look forward to the next one. The team leaders are already thinking of new ways to improve for next winter. "As a team I will be pushing for us to all make good decisions in and out of season," promised Foster. Swimming is unique because it is both an individual and team sport at the same time. This makes the athletes find the balance between themselves and the people around them. "It is all about focusing on personal goals but at the same thinking about the team and keeping the others on track with their goals," expressed Caden Bennet-Bice (12). This might not be the boys fastest year, but the young taler is promising to make the following years something to look forward to. "I see this team in a year or two coming out as a very good group with lots of unity," predicted Chase Hanger (10). Spread by Paul Lohnes Courtesy Photos

Girls Swimming and Diving overcome their challenges A lot of the girls on the swimming and diving team put in a lot of time a,nd work to make their weaknesses become their strengths. Just like any other athletes, they have room to improve, so they worked for it. "Some advice I would give someone who is just starting to do swimming and diving is you aren't going to be the best right . away but don't give up because you will eventually get better," stated Elizabeth Herbin (9). Swimming and diving is a sport where it can be scary and risky. It takes a lot of practice and mental control. The swimmers and divers just focused on doing their best and sometimes they just needed to put things in perspective. "It's okay if others talk behind my back about how I'm not good at swimming because it makes me a better person, and I use that as my motivation to do better," explained Hannah Johnson (11 ). Even though swimming and diving can be frustrating and painful , it's also thrilling if the swimmers and divers allow themselves to try new and nerve-racking things. They just practice as much as they can so they can improve. "My experience keeps me motivated, I learn from my mistakes of my past meets and use that to improve on," commented Rose Kaup (11 ). When swimming and diving isn't in season at Southeast, the girls keep practicing in their neighborhood pool or anywhere they can, and some even do some weight training. Johnson didn't start as soon as the other but she put in e).(tra time and work even when others were doubting her. She just used them as her motivation to get better. "One of the challenges I faced was that I wasn't as 'experienced' as others because I started swimming my freshman year, three years ago, but I just put in a lot of extra time and practice," mentioned Johnson. No matter the challenges the girls swimming and diving team face with practice and hard work they overcome it as best as they can. Spread by Jalysa Kratke Courtesy Photos

Four years, forty-eight months, two hundred and eight weeks of practice all comes down to one final event, state wrestling. Dawson Effie (12) as been a part of the Southeast wrestling team for all 4 ears of high school, but on his final year he made it to state. "It's [state] very intense there, and all of your emotions run high. When we first walked into the area on the first day another team member lost his ·match and just ran out of the room to scream, remembered Effie. With the pressure risings, sometimes its best to get out of your head and stick to what you know. "Right before a match I like to run through my moves that I know I'm good at, and see which ones will work against them, told Effie. As Effie's High school career comes to an end he leaves his season on a high, with one final qualification to state. 11

Unified Bowling place in State F or the past two years, Unified Bowling has been an exciting sanctioned sport in Lincoln Public Schools. Students get the privilege to bowl alongside their peers in the Special Education department and have a fun time competing. This year, the team won Districts and moved on to the State tournament. The athletes were beaming with pride when they found out they were advancing to state, and they even got to miss a day of school for it. The tournament took place at Sun Valley Lanes and many teams from all across Nebraska participated. LSE competed against LHS for most of the day, who ended up taking home the first place trophy. "It was really special to be there and see all the teams come together to celebrate everyone," Lily Hefner (10) expressed. Along with going to state, the team got the chance to bowl on television. The tournament was broadcasted online and through Allo TV. Some students were nervous, but it made the experience even more exciting. "I love to be on TV, bowling was really fun," Will Dirrim (11) added. He enjoyed getting as many strikes as possible and plans on bowling again next year. Practices and matches are held in baker format, which means a different bowler goes for each frame. This gives each bowler the chance to go many times throughout each game and practice. "My favorite part about bowling was just having fun. The bright lights for TV were a little scary but it was fun," Vesente Arsiaga (11) described. Unified Bowling is a great time for students to come together and celebrate each other with high-fives and loud cheers. It's a place for good fun, competition and inclusivity, and it will be around for many years to come. The LSE team was very proud to earn seventh place at State.

Striking Friendships ... i6 Ir/~ JV and Varsity Bowling create life long bonds ....-:-

{ here are many opportunities for fun and involvement at Southeast, and bowling is one of them. With practices, traveling, and tournaments, bowling serves as a great catalyst for competition. Over the years, the LSE bowling team has been consistently successful, making it to state several times and winning twice. This year the team has, once again, demonstrated its Knight skills. From Gering, NE to Sioux Falls, SD, the team has gone on some dedicated trips to compete. The traveling comes with great connection among the bowlers and even some exciting accomplishments. Team captain, Michael Duey (12), earned first place all tournament team in South Dakota with a 279 game. "Bowling is a family sport and it was nice to end the season on a good note," Duey explained. Along with highlighting achievements, bowling has the power to make friends become family. Austen Wurm (12), team captain of the girl's team, is grateful for the relationships she has developed since being apart of bowling. "We've worked really well as a team, it's been an awesome group of girls," Wurm highlighted. This year specifically, many people have become new members of the bo.wling team. Bowling is special in that it is an all inclusive sport, and anyone can join no matter the skill level. Foster Bell (10) was excited to be apart of something new and develop new skills. "I've only been bowling for a year, but it's been some of the best experiences of my life to be honest. It's given me a way to escape from my problems," Bell articulated. Bri Rodgers (12) has also been very thankful for the experiences bowling has given her. "At first some of the girls just told me to join, but it turned out to be really fun and I got to meet many new great people," Rodgers noted. Bowling has the potential to change lives through close relationships, coaching and clean competition. LSE Bowling can be a great chance for students to get involved and make lifelong friends. As head coach, Jerry Schilke, always tells the team, "Do the best you can and bowl one shot at a time."

When someone thinks of a sport the first thing that pops into someone's head is probably football, soccer, or basketball. Along with these more commonly known sports is Trap Shooting also known as Target Shooting. This sport is much different from the sports most people think of. . "Trap is a team aspect sport in terms of scoring but it's much more individualized in how you shoot because it is you against everyone else," Eric Vander Woude (12) exclaimed. During· this event, students must fire at a clay disc which moves around 40 miles per hour, and is supposed to simulate a bird flying in the air. Trap Shooting requires accuracy and lots of concentration. "Trap is one thing everyone can do, you don't have to be fast or have special skills to be good at it," stated Ethan Klausen (10). The trap team has 17 students total, one student for Palmyra High School, and four students from Irving Middle School. The team practices a couple times per week at Izaak Walton's, a trap shooting range, and has meets at least once every week. Southeast trap is one of fifteen teams in the Central Division of the Eastern Cornhusker Trapshooting Conference (ECTC). Many students who participate in trap for Southeast also compete outside of school through a trap club. "Along with the Southeast team I compete in a summer and fall league at Izaak Walton," added Dana Clements (11 ). Trap is a very unique sport_and unlike most sports other people play, it is individualized but the team scores and works together to accomplish . their goals. Spread by Lexi Long

v-""117\~ Co mp eti tio n Ch ee r wins Sta te Sideline tw o years in a row i/laki ng locker signs, promoting school spirit, and pumping up our knights are just a few duties of our Southeast cheerleaders. More importantly, they train like all other athletes, commit their time and energy for a full year, and even compete at the State level. "Some people think we don't have to work as hard. We condition and work just as hard as a basketball team, or a soccer team," Sydney Mitchell (10) stated. Cheerleaders conditioning isn't just jumping and jogging either. They participate in sprints and stay in shape anyway they can. Along with their normal cheer practices, the competition cheer team has two hour practices after school, three days a week. All the hard work cheerleaders have put into competition has definitely paid off. Our compelition cheer team placed first in the State Sideline Competition for the second year in a row! "Competition Chee r is a lot different from normal cheer you see at games. The competition we won is Sideline. [Sideline] has a time limit of one minute, no stunting, and you can tumble. So, it's something you would put on the side of a game," Varsity Captain Livija Shaeffer (12) explained. With all the hard work and dedication cheerleaders put into their sport, it can be disheartening when they hear misconceptions about the 'typical cheerleader' stereotype. "I think it's a common misconception that cheerleaders are maybe dumb , or they have no athletic ability. Some people are more athletic than others, but our coaches make us condition, just like athletes. We have to follow the Code of Conduct, just like athletes do: It's just a common misconception that cheerleaders don't do much, but really cheerleading takes a lot of time and effort. Winning a State Championship isn't just about looking cute and jumping around," Varsity Captain Sophia Misle (12) chirped. Many students fail to realize how much time and effort cheer takes. Along with the two hour competition cheer practices, regular cheer has practice during 8th period each school day. Cheerleaders also make locker signs for every Southeast athlete, Pep-Rally banners, good luck signs , and decorate our school with occasional streamers to promote school spirit and Knight Pride. "People don't know how much time and effort we put into things. Cheer is also a full year activity. We don't really leave each other ever," Shaeffer laughed, "Physical effort goes in to it too. We do a lot of conditioning daily: we have to be able to lift people off the ground for a certain amount of time, we run. It just a lot more of the physical things than people think. We have to fill out an athletic form, just like any other athletic student." Some may undermine the tremendous success of our Competition Cheer team, but to them it is their numb er one priority. "We really do work super hard. It may seem like an easy job, but we really take it seriously. It's a sport in our ey.es," Mitchell told. It takes a lot to be a good cheerleader, including, good work ethic, and being role model who represents our school well. "I think a good cheerleader is someone who can represent their school in a positive way, and be a good role model. They should have a lot of school spirit and enthusiasm, and enjoys athletic events. Just stay true to yourself and respect yourself, your teammates, your coaches, and your school. Realize your uniform is not just an outfit, but a symbol of what Knight Pride is," Misle expressed.

The Shirettes show their flerceness ,,-,( he Southeast Shirettes have a goal not unlike any other dance team. That goal is competing well at their State and Regional competitions. "Our game plan going into state was to lay it all down on the court. We worked really hard, and this was the moment that all the work would pay off/' explained Finley Petersen (11 ). The team was determined to do well so they had to work as a team to accomplish their goals. "My favorite part was performing with my team and being proud of all the work we did and what we left on the stage," commented Taylor Jacobsen (11 ). They knew they had competition, so they had to work to challenge themselves to do better than the other teams. "Millard North and East were the top contenders and our goal was to do the •best with our dances and perform in the best we coufd," added Peyton Rhode (12). But the _team wasn't just thinking about their individual goals, they had to think about each other too. "We bonded and stuck together, my team stuck by me," stated Nevaeh Madlock (11 ). The team ended up getting 12th at

State and 4th at Regionals. To get pumped up for nerve racking performances, the team has a few preperformance rituals that they do. "We always have a team dinner before each ,game, but we also say a little chant before each performance," told Petersen. Even though the Shirettes make their performances lo_o k easy, the routines are harder than they may seem. "It takes a while at the beginning but after awhile it wasn't as hard to remember," commented Rhode. Jacobsen added to that by saying, "You just have to make sure you practice so you remember what you are performing." Students may wonder how the girls on the team balance dancing with everything else in their life. But they are always able to doit. "Balancing activities can definitely be challenging but working with all of my coaches and teachers to make my schedule work is helpful," explained Petersen. Though the team might not have gotten the place they wanted at State, they still put in time, effort, and hard work to compete to their best ability. Spread by Claire Strong Courtesy Photos

Spirit Squads

Stepping up to . e .•. We have three spirit squads at Southeast, but one of the more unique ones is the Step Chain team . Step performs at pep rallies, basketball games, and attends some competitions. "I wanted to join the team because it seemed interesting and something different," commented Mason Guerrrero (10), who is a second year member. This year, there are many new team members, which makes the team different, but in a good way. "It's interesting. It's a lot like being on my dance team . It doesn't feel like work, it doesn't feel like a chore , I enjoy coming to practice," explained Jacob Montey (11) who is a first year team member. Southeast is the only high school in Lincoln with a step or drill team, so that makes this team unique. "Not a lot of people do step, so it's cool to say I can do something that others don't do," added Montey. Most people who try out, do it because they saw the team perform at a pep rally or other performance, and it interests them. "Step is really fun and I've always liked step my freshman and sophmore year and it's nice to be able to see it from an outsider perspective and now participate, " exclaimed Hana Pham (11). Since there are eight seniors this year, the underclassman members will have to step up in their role next year and take on some more responsibilities. " I will have to work harder, and try to make up some steps," added Hailey Mohler (9f But the seniors this year have made an impact on the current members.

"Lizzy, Tyana, and Emma are all really positive," commented Moh ler. The seniors help with teaching and helping others learn the routin es, but members also have to take time to teach themselves outside of practice. "Muscle memory is important. If I'm standing and not doing anyth ing I find myself practicing," explained Pham. One of the most exciting and fun things that the step chain team does is compete at competitions. On February 10th the team competed at a UNL competition with a variety of competitors, even some that go to UNL. "We got there at one for rehersal until three, then we had a team lunch and then rehearsed from four o'clock until five thirty. After that we checked in and waited for the competition to start at six," told Tyanna McDowell (12). They were the last performance in the first half of the competition. The team went backstage two performaces before they . _ "After everything, they did an audience vote for their favorite. They had a live stream of the votes and we had over 140 and • won ," explained McDowell. • On top of winning audience favorite, they also won second _ overall in the competiti_on . Step Chain also performed at UNL in the fall, and a competition in Omaha on April 14. "The performance was really exciting and we all knew we did a really good job. We were really confident," added McDowell. Spread by Claire Strong Courtesy Photos Step Chain

Finding ways to get involved with the community and your school can be difficult. There are so many options out there, .but where can students start? Hannah Cass, a senior here at . Southeast High School took matter into her own hands this year to get not only herself involved, but other students in Lincoln as well, through art. Cass is president of Mayor's club which is an organization put together by the youth of Lincoln to take action on issues of the city. Each semester students involved in this club partake in a project over the "Mayor's agenda" that the students themselves are interested in and also something that the Mayor supports. They mostly focus on what they can do to further help out the community, and face important issues that is brought upon the city as well. "I thought that we should do a more fun project this time," Cass claimed. One issue that stood out to her was the painted alley in the Haymarket area of Lincoln "People were mad that [the city] wasted a lot of money painting the alley by lvanna Cone, and kind of redoing it. Everybody I know goes down there and loves that place, . and we love hanging out downtown, so we wanted to do something to show our support, and show that that's not true." Cass, and other students here at Southeast came together and decided to put together an art festival that took place in the painted alleyway downtown. They called it the "Gallery Alley," an art walk developed by students, where kids from LPS schools could display their artwork, and people of the Lincoln community were invited to come and admire their talents and abilities. This was a great opportunity for students to take action on a big city issue, and really get themselves immersed in an important project that can benefit the city and students as well.

,o 01ce Giving youth a voice through art "I got to work with the district office to organize all the art chairs to set up everything, and I got to work with bands around the city. I even learned how to set up agendas." Cass explained. In order to make this even possible, there was a lot of steps they had to take. They worked with important representatives of the city, local businesses, and they got in touch with local bands to provide music for guests who were interested in coming . They even got interviewed by a few news sources. Cass was even given the Pay It Forward grant from LSE to go towards the festival. The Pay It Forward grant is given to students who are interested in doing projects that involve community service during their senior year. Students are to submit an application with a plan to partner with teacher advisors from LSE and local businesses. The winning project that is picked is awarded $500 to get it completed. "We want kids learning to go beyond the walls of school. You can learn a lot in school, but if you can find things that you can apply outside of these walls, it makes the learning more relevant and impactful, so I definitely encourage kids to apply for it," Principle Brent Toalson encouraged. Planning this event took Cass and members of Mayor's Club almost six months to plan, but all that

organizing and time was worthwhile. "I love the fact that we had . our students involved in leadership, and learning community service," Principle Brent Toalson added."! think the _kids learned a lot about how much work it really takes to . organize an event. It's one thing to have an idea, but it's another thing to carry it out." The event ended up being a huge success. Many students presented their artwork, and many people showed up to appreciate it. They even threw in a photo and henna booth. "When I was down there at the event, it was really great to see a lot of kids showcasing their talents, and also the people from the community that were able to come out and support what they were doing," Toalson commented. It's people like Hannah Cass who inspire other people to get more involved in their community and take action to get others as involved as well. This event helped artists express themselves through their passions, and also make an impact on the city as a whole. Spread by Abby Blankenbiller

DEC A and FBLA prepare students for their u W hen club sign-up week rolls around, students can count on DECA and FBLA to recruit every student they can to join their club. As business clubs, DECA and FBLA both know how to market their clubs to students very well. "FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America and it's a business club that prepares you for your life aft~r high school and it teaches you skills that you need after high school and for the rest of your life," FBLA President, Grace Hendricks (12) stated. Many students get DECA and FBLA confused. Both of the clubs are very similar, but there are a few key differences. "DECA is more than just a marketing club. What I get from DECA is not only a way to network and meet new people, but also a way to grow your leadership skills and mature yourself academically. The ways you learn from DECA can be very vital to your success," Collin Summers (11) voiced. According to Hendricks, FBLA is more technology based, and has more community service opportunities. DECA is more marketing based, and aims to give students all the skills they need in the business world. "DECA members are kids that really stick out and go the extra mile, and that put themselves out there", Summers pronounced. Many students complain that high school doesn't prepare them for the real world. Then when they get out of high school, it is becomes a huge reality check. Both DECA and FBLA help students be more prepared for when they leave high school. "Any student who is in a leadership club or a sport, and they take on a leadership role - it puts you a step ahead of the regular student. When I talk to kids in college they really see how far ahead they are, once they get out of high school. It really helps with problem solving skills, time management, working with other people, seeing something fail or not go as planned, and then dealing with that," FBLA advisor, Lindsey Tillinghast spoke. FBLA and DECA can do more than just help "business students". These clubs strive to help every student they can, and give students useful soft skills. Soft skills are transferable skills that will be helpful where ever you work, and are not job specific. "FBLA isn't just about business. It gives you soft skills that you will need in any line of work," Hendricks voiced. DECA and FBLA also provide their members with plenty of helpful resources. These resources come in handy now, as well as later in their futures. "DECA provides so many resources, such as an academic club where there is lots of socializing. You can

meet a lot of new people. DECA also provides travel opportunities. They are a lot of fun, but you are also learning on these trips, usually about some type of business. We have socials with our chapter where you can grow and bond with ti ,J people around you," Summers explained. DECA also provides their members with fundraisers to participate in throughout the year, to help pay for competition and trips. "Many students have said they miss our old Southeast lanyards, so during locker check out days in the summer, DECA sold Southeast lanyards as a fundraiser. It went really well and we will definitely sell more next year!" President of DECA, Maddie Elbracht (11 ), exclaimed. The resources DECA and FBLA provide are a huge asset to their members. The advisors, Jessica Thompson and Tillinghast, are to thank. "A$ advisors we create the big picture, and then help the officers and students see the big picture. Then we assign roles, and hold the students accountable That's the hardest part. You sometimes get officers with really good intentions, but they sometimes need a little extra push, just like all students. I always say I'd rather you learn it now than later. I can give you a little oudge nqw, and they can learn from that experience and be far better off down the road," Tillinghast noted. All of the members in DECA and FBLA see the value of being in these clubs. "I think it is really great to be in DECA, because I have a much bigger network of people that encourage me, and that I can reach out to . I can count on my advisor and other officers to always be there. I also feel like I am getting great real life experience that others might not get the opportunity to have, and I get to grow my leadership skills too," Elbracht proclaimed. DECA and FBLA are both great clubs that focus on business and leadership. They are great resume builders, an< clubs to get involved in. • "Students get the other opportunity to be with other kids that are passionate about building their leadership skills and helping others, as well as bettering themselves. This club is great for any kind of major you want to go into. Business is ou main focus, but it is a good foundation regardless of what career your going into," Tillinghast remarked. With all the resources these clubs give students, you w· I never be left saying that high school didn't prepare yo for th real world. Spread by Maddy Vinson and Maddie Elbrach Courtesy Photos

A"1oool'( good time The words "FBLA" and "blood drive" go hand in hand. FBLA takes the blood drive very seriously and even plan a year in advance for it. FBLA hosts two blood drives a year - one in the fall and one on the spring of each school year. "We do two drives a year and we generally have 100 slots to fill, and we have had no problem filling all of those slots," Tillinghast informed. M ny students are more than willing to participate in the blood drive. "We usually have about 10 - 20 [students] that show up with forms tha day of, in addition to the 100 [students] that have pre-reserved a spot," Tillinghast stated.

The blood drive is a great cause, and every drop of blood counts! The more blood Southeast can donate, the bigger impact we can make. ''The day of the drive some people will get deferred. So then •those walk ins a helpful too, because they replace some of those people that had reserved spots," Tillinghast spoke. Each blood drive FBLA typically received around 80 pints of blood. "Southeast has a really good reputation because we consistently fill all of our spots and students are very helpful. Any time I go to the blood bank just to donate normally, by my~elf, I talk to people that work there. They all know Southeast and they know we have so many kids that show up and donate. So that is a really good reflection of our students," Tillinghast explained.

◄ Calling all DECA members!

DECA officers set up a booth for 8th grade night and talked to potential new members, while flashing the DECA logo. Officers showed what DECA has to offer as well as selling knight lanyards. "It so great to meet enthusiastic freshman ready to be involved," Morgan

Ml!rphy (11) expressed.

◄ Gateway to your future. The FBLA chapter traveled to Saint Louis, MO this fall. They went sight seeing around Saint Louis, and made a stop at The Gateway Arch. "We made great connections with other chapters and built our leadership skills through workshops and speakers," Nina Peci (11) voiced.

It's all business. DECA members have the opportunity to attend CRLC (Central Region Leadership Conference) each year. CRLC offers influential speakers, leadership workshops, travel opportunities, and great ways to network. "My favorite part about CRLC was getting to spend time with those in my chapter and getting to meet a lot of new people," Summers stated.

Cooking U Students learn of the skills it takes to work in a restaurant O rder up! This is the first year that food prep and presentation class is doing KP kitchen. KP kitchen is where students get to experience first hand how to run and operate a restaurant. "Food prep and presentation was insightful to me because it showed me different cooking methods and how to better understand instructions from a cookbook," commented Alexander Bryant (10). The class teaches students many different things such as how to run and budget a restaurant to further a career in culinary. "The class applies to the real world because it helped with the business aspects of cooking ," exclaimed Alexeus McKeithen (12). Not only is the class helpful with cooking , but it also applies to much more. Such as business. "It shows how to manage time well and manage the budgeting and processing aspects," claimed McKeithen. "I believe that it will kind of apply to the real world because not everyone is going to go home and be like "I need my paring knife to cut this". They're just going to use a knife and cut the food ," retorted Ari Lanham (1 0). The class will apply to the real world for some students.

OV -j English teachers express themselves through music 'l?eing in a garage band is a typical stereotype for high schoolers, however things aren't so typical at Southeast. Instead of the kids hitting the notes and tuning their guitars, it is the English teachers who are stepping up on stage. Music doesn't care how .old you are, or what genre you like to play, all that matters is that you're doing what you love. "I was a part of many of my school s music groups like marching band and choir, but my real love was writing original rock and roll songs," recalled English teacher Samuel Segrist. While at night their inner rock stars come out, during the day they teach in tempo. "The number one way that my music has helped me teach is how to hold the audience's attention. I have to be able to read the crowd, like on a stage if they don·t look too into what were playing, I might have to mix songs up and change how we're doing things to get them engaged," explained Segrist. However, not all teachers are into the classics, some prefer a more creative genre. "I got into music because my cousin was in a metal band. After heari_ng them play, I was really into their music so I asked them if they wanted to make a band with me. I'm still playing with them, my cousin, Marchelle, and me," stated English teacher Eric Holt. As music fills the hallways after school ends, other teachers find joy by digging into the past through a more solid sense of art. AP Art History is the newest class added into the art department, although it is not an art teacher who fell in love with the old paintings. "The class is a college level course that studies the history of the world through paintings, sculptures, and architecture. The reason I want to bring this to Southeast is because I studied it in grad school and I want to use my knowledge to my • advantage and teach it to the students who are also interested in art and English like I am," shared English teacher Greg Spangler, "My favorite subject to teach is 19th century paintings, they started my love for art history." Although music may not be every teachers passion, they are all rock stars at teaching English. And they don·t just make students write those papers just for fun, they are actually teaching them how to grow up and be ready for the real world. "If my students could remember one thing from me, it would be to always strive for something, to look at reality in as many different ways as possible," commented Spangler. For some students writing isn't their strong suit, but a few students will tough it out just to be with their favorite teacher. "I picked this class [English 1OD] instead of regular English 1O because of Spangler. I just wanted to be with my favorite teacher, the class is just so unique because everyone gets along and he knows how to make everyone laugh," exclaimed Michelle Simnitt (10). As easy as it looks, being a teacher is hard work. Not only do they have to grade essays, they also are busy developing relationships with their students. "Its essential to build personal relationships with the students, because they can't learn if you don't care about them. They don't want to just be spoon fed education they want to have connections and relationships," told English teacher Kim Anthony, "I want my students to remember the saying "where have you been and where are you going". I want them to know that they don't have to be a product of their environment if they don't want to be." Know matter how busy their lives get, whether it's playing in a band, or even just making connections with the students, the English teachers always put LSE first and strive help all of the students write their own story. 1

On stage passion thrives in theatre U nderneath the beautiful fluorescent lighting of the Jennifer L. Dorsey-Howley Performing Arts Center, with the spotlight shining brightly on the smiling cast as they take their final bows after another successful performance, a story is told through acting, talent is uncovered, and passion overflows. The LSE performing arts department knows very well how captivating it is to be able to stand in front of a large crowd of people and impress your community and fellow classmates that attend shows. Treyson Rassfeld (12) has been involved in theater since his first role in the Grapes of Wrath, when his choir teacher pushed him to be apart of the ensemble of singing car salesmen. This opened many doors for him, and soon he developed a love for performing arts. "Theatre has pushed me to get out of my bubble, and to step out of my normal square I would be in. The friends that I've made there have definitely encouraged me to do that," Rassfeld mentioned. This year Rassfeld took one of the lead roles in The Seussical , and is extremely grateful to teachers and students for pushing him to step out of his comfort zone. "I did run crew my freshman year, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world ," Rassfeld added, "my best friend and I ended up memorizing the whole musical. It's really cool to see these people I looked up to throughout the year go through with the performance, and it's crazy to look back on that, because here I am my senior year, and I'm one of the lead roles!" Behind the scenes of showbiz, the members of the tech crew are buzzing to make sure everything stays in line, and the show goes on without a hint of technical difficulties. With communication being key, everything can stay in line, and the show can go on.

They are a creative crew of people who help provide the performance the crowd comes for. Taking place backstage is the creation of the life of the performance: costume and makeup. Backstage is like a whole different world, full of different outfits and props to give the performance an abundance of liveliness. "I do a lot of costumes and makeup as well as acting," stated Helen How~rd (11 ).* Howard was apart of the one act play in the fall of 2017, which was Crimes at the Old Brewery.

For some people like Herbin they know how the class works. "I have danced for a really long time so it's not very hard for me to get into the class," determined Herbin. This must have played a role in signing up for the class, because it was something she did in her freetime already. "We learn a bunch of different dances and how to properly do them," told Schlueter. • Dance 101 teaches students how to do the proper form, as well as being able to have a good time, and enjoy themselves. "I'm probably the worst dancer ever, so it's good to know how to dance properly," chuckled Schlueter. But for people like Nelson it's what they are looking forward to in the class. "I am looking forward to learning different styles of dance and being able to have fun while doing it," told Nelson. But for some people like Schlueter this isn't her first time taking the class, "I've taken this class before, and I really like making new pals with everyone in the class while we dance," Schlueter stated. Some students might not know what actually happens in Dance 101 , on a daily basis. "We start off with a short.warm-up, after that we review what we did the day before, then we add onto that," says Nelson. With many different dance classes it's hard to know what actually goes on in the class, especially reading the name of the class.

This was while students were talking about what they had done to get their hours completed. "Completing hours is great exposure to some of the paths students may want to take, " Svendsen explained.

Going PVi Social Studies ( here are many classes offered at Lincoln Southeast that have the ability to positively change ----your life forever. It has been a known fact for many years that all seniors are required to complete 20 hours of community service in Government and Politics class, also known as GOPO. Not many people actually consider the true benefits of completing these hours but depending on how they are accomplished, it can carry great change throughout the community. "It has the potential to perhaps be the most meaningful thing that kids can do in high school. Teachers in Lincoln Public Schools are trying to do more to find meaning through this experience," explained social studies teacher David Nebel. Students like Kreyton Freauf (12) are making their experiences meaningful by volunteering at Cedars, the Germans from Russia Museum, and doing compliancy c_ hecks with police officers. "Doing GOPO hours gets you ready for the real world and teaches responsibility," added Freauf. Social studies teacher, Kirk Svendsen agrees with Freauf in that completing hours can help prepare students for the future. "I think it does a good job of showing students opportunities in the community. I also think it gives students an idea, before they leave high school, of some of the things they may want to do with their lives to impact the future," added Svendsen. Another student, Austen Wurm (12) donated blood, coached kids at the YMCA, and helped out at the Blood Drive for Future Business Leaders of America. At the YMCA, Wurm helped teach kids how to bowl and get involved with new activities. The food drive allowed the entire school to help our local community by pushing donations for the City Mission. "My favorite part of volunteering was coaching kids because they were happy to learn and it was nice seeing them succeed," pronounced Wurm. But not all kids see the great benefit that this requirement holds. Some pick easy tasks that don't h-ave a direct impact on the community. "It's always been a struggle with Lincoln Public Schools to make sure that kids don't view this as just a hoop to jump through. We're trying to do more to make it more meaningful. It's a challenge because we've got large numbers of people who are going to have to get this done. Teachers in LPS are trying to do more to help kids find meaning through this experience and try to help them choose experiences that will have the greatest impact on them . And if we can do that, we can do certainly a lot of good in our society," voiced Nebel. In r·eality, completing these h<?urs can make not just a difference in LSE students, but on others and the community. "I think this is important to understand that this is really a great opportunity. It puts LPS students in the position, a good one, you get to go out and understand your community a little bit better than you did before. You're going to be able to go out and make connections that you otherwise wouldn't make. And hopefully with the right type of experience you're going to develop an understanding of the challenges the people in society face that you may not h~ve otherwise known," commented Nebel. Some juniors were also able to take this class and complete their volunteering hours. Only juniors set to graduate early can do this, however, and-Cerrissa Lozano (11) is a perfect example. "I took it in place of economics so I could get those credits to graduate. I really want to get a head start on my life because I already have my plan of where I want to go. For my hours, I worked .at Husker games and I helped out at a dance studio that is a non-profit organization. AU of the profits that we made from the big show they put on went to The Salvation Army," Lozano expressed. It is always important to give back to the community and make the world a better place to live in. Doing GOPO hours may seem tedious at times, but it really ·does create change and push further service experiences. When the requirement comes along·, try to choose something that impacts others. If students get the chance to go out in the community and make a difference, they should take the opportunity and proudly carry it with them. Spread by Claire Strong and Spencer Swearingen

A long with the Project Unify game some teachers also participated in a game. The ..J teams were announced at the Spring Pep Rally on March 20th where students had the chance to cheer for some of their favorite teachers as they were being called out to the court. "I participated in the game last year and had a blast," stated Greg Spangler, "I played reserve basketball in high school and it is always fun to see what moves I can remember." Teachers all had a lot of fun getting to watch the Project Unify game before theirs, getting to play in their game, and also the competitive banter leading up to the game. "I was surprised at Mr. Bradley's skills, I didn't know he could shoot a basketball as well as he did last night and all those 3pointers he made," exclaimed Brent Ailes, "I knew he was really good underwater basket weaving, but I didn't know he could shoot so well!" Many students enjoyed the morning announcements in the days leading up to the game. The turnout for the game was great and many students, parents, and teachers who did not participate in the game were there to support. "The game will provide some fun stories for us to share through the years. I was also very happy about how many people attended the game and how much money was raised for a great cause," added Josh Severin, "Events like this make me proud to be a graduate of Lincoln Southeast." The teacher basketball game was a chance for teachers to help support Project Unify. Along with getting to support the Project Unify game students had the chance to see their teachers participate in a friendly basketball game.

Man-to-man Before the teacher's basketball game we also hosted a Project Unify game in honor of Mrs. Babcock. The Project Unify and Dunks for Dollars games were played in honor of Mrs. Babcock who selfless decided to donate the money raised to the Special Olympics. "Sandra is a person of great character, and is extremely selfless, I believe having the money raised going to Special Olympics suits Sandra perfectly," exclaimed Clare, "it was a cool event to have, and even cooler to have her there!"

i?efore the teacher's basketball game the Project Unify team played a game. This game was in honor of one of the Special Education teacher, Mrs. Babcock. All of the money raised for this event was for Mrs. Babcock who decided to put the money towards the Special Olympics. "We wanted to honor Babcock due to her tireless efforts to have students with disabilities included in the school," stated Colin Clare," Sandra has worked so hard to get inclusion up at LSE, and we wanted to thank her for her efforts. She has continued to work from home to make sure inclusion is still happening." Mrs. Babcock is a Special Education teacher who helps students everyday and impacts the whole school even though some students don't realize it. Recently she found out she has cancer and has had to leave school in order to carry out the treatments. She has been gone since Thanksgiving so many students and staff workers have missed her. While she has been gone she hasn't missed a beat and has continued to work from home. Mrs. Babcock was able to make it to the game to support the Project Unify game and all the students who played in it. "It was fun to see Mrs. Babcock and play har.d and have fun," exclaimed William Dirrim (11 ). The students who participated in the Project Unify game were all really excited and some students even practiced for the game. "My dad and I went to Zeman and passed together/ added Wyatt Gifford (12). The students all had so much fun and had the chance to see the teacher they all enjoy.

W ith high school comes many possibilities, especially through our varying world language options. Although taking a world language class is not required for graduation, it is in students best interest to take one because most colleges require at least two years in order to be accepted. Learning a n_ew language has many benefits as well, including an increase in cognitive understanding, better communication skills, and academic success. "When you learn another language, you also learn the culture of the people and you basically make the world a friendlier place. You get to see life through somebody else's eyes," expressed Spanish teacher Teresa Barta. The world language department at Lincoln Southeast is packed full of great teachers and students working toward the same goal; spreading understanding of languages and cultures around the world. Students like Vincent Ronker (12) is apart of this group that takes pride in learning about other languages and cultures. "You get to learn something different that isn't taught out as much. It isn't just the language, it's also about the culture," added Ronker. Ronker is in German class which is taught by KeHeen Browning. Like French and Spanish, German is proving to be even more valuable than we may realize. "There is a huge push in Germany to learn English, so there is an exchange between the two countries a lot. Germany is one of the powerhouse countries in Europe currently and being able to understand more of the culture and how they interact with other countries helps us be more useful in diplomacy between English and German speaking countries," Browning explained. It may not be easy to see how learning another language can impact your life in high school, but you really never know when it can come in handy. Students like Frida Aguilera De La Torre (12) are utilizing their world language options in order to expand the understanding they already have of a language and its cultural background. "I was born in Mexico and coming here I lost some of my Spanish vocabulary since I've been so used to speaking English at school and work. Spanish speakers has definitely expanded my vocab and made my Spanish better than it was in the beginning," Aguilera De La Torre commented . • French teacher Kristen Tangen sees the great reward that .comes with being a language teacher. Tangen, along with the entire world language department, do a great service to students by spreading cultural open-mindedness and language • understanding. "I love talking about culture and making cultural connections with my students, going to France with them and tak_ing French out ·into the community. I love learning about, not just French culture, but also culture around the world and being able to share that with my students," highlighted Tangen. World language classes are great opportunities for students to better their cognition, but also to become more aware of cultures all around the world. The LSE world language department is very effective in accomplishing that goaL Whether it's through German, French or Spanish, language is a great chance to become more in touch with the rest of the world.

C&N is a swing choir, they do both dancing and singing, and are actually the only swing choir in Lincoln. "What we do is so different and so unique than anything else done in Lincoln that I don't think you really could compare us to something.else," informed Treyson Rassfield (12). There are about 14 singers in C&N and they all stay close which helps them perform because they are more comfortable, the , even call each other family. They motivate and help each other when needed, which helped them be able to place first. When b 1~ together they get energized and sometimes a little out of focus but they always manage to pull each other back to what they love singing. "This choir is a place where when we are together singing, I can forget all my problems in the outside world and it's kind of jut sigh of relief from any stress I have," stated Kevin Tran (12). Right after they performed at The Annual Show Choir Festival, C&N had another show and winning first really motivated then i1 was a very lively performance. The concert that was performed after reflected how good they felt and truly built up their confiden, e. C&N really felt like all their hard work had paid off. "I remember when we were told we won first so vividly, we were sitting in the practice room and our director, Sam Rickert, c& rn in with the trophies. We all were kind of shocked but not even a minute after we were all jumping again, screaming," explained A t Monismith (11 ). Rickert prepared them for their performance at The Annual Show Choir Festival by practicing an hour, five out of seven days •)r three weeks. As their director, Rickert was very happy with their work and he knew their hard-work paid off. Rickets proudest moment as their director was getting to watch them grow together as friends and musically. C&N may had to face some challenges but all their hard work got them to where they are now. Placing first was a very big surprise for c&N because a good handful of them didn't think they would place at all because they are a swing choir.

Practice. Orchestra meets every day during second period. In this time they tune their instruments, practice different techniques with their scales, and finally practice the songs they plan on playing in concerts. "I joined orchestra because I did it in elementary school and middle school and I had some upperclassmen friends in it," replied Catherine Wedin (11 ).

Ov-~v-()L- Ol.Ate,;ol h · DT ~ C 001 Along with getting to perform for Southeast, many students also perform in a competitive orchestra like the Lincoln Youth . Symphony, honors ensembles, and summer camps. LVS pr_ actices every Tuesday and has a performance about every quarter. "It is a lot of fun and we get to play more challenging pieces," exclaimed Brett Foster (11 ). All Lincoln schools have the chance to audition for this orchestra and have to try out for the first two years and then do not have to audition again. The big difference between the Southeast Orchestra and LVS is that they play more difficult music for

LYS. "Not only do we play more challenging music but you have more skilled people around you, so not only are you surrounded by players who are more experienced, you can also learn from peers sitting next to you," stated Bare. . There are also various honor ensembles that students can tryout for throughout the year. Colleges and Universities and summer camps hold auditions as well where students can audition for honor orchestra festivals. Students attend rehearsal for one or two days and finish with a concert directed by a guest conductor from outside the community. Finally there is NM~A All State Orchestra in the fall. This is highly selective and competitive audition process. Students who pass the audition process are invited to join the All State Orchestra which rehearses three days and finishes with a concert. Guest conductors are usually brought in from around the country. Courtesy Photo

e Stepping out and speaking up A popular complaint that comes from students after they graduate from high school is that they "haven't really learned anything worthwhile," or "have no real world applications." When students have this outlook on their high school experience, it causes them to not be as open to step out of their comfort zone. In many classes, public speaking is not applied to the curriculum, or used in any sense. Public speaking is vital in most jobs in the world today, but developing confidence in public speaking requires practice. A way to practice, and push out of the comfort zone is to join speech and debate here at LSE. One student that can vouch for this statement is Aaron Bolton (11 ). Bolton has had plenty of experience as a debater and has been involved in multiple events. He is the solo captain of the type of debate style called Lincoln Douglas. "I was originally incredibly introverted, and always stuttering. But with speech and debate, where you're constantly working on how I present, and articulate what I'm saying, I started to develop better public speaking skills." Bolton stated. Gaining confidence in public speaking boosts self-esteem and work ethic. Communication is what holds up our society, and we use it to make connections with one another, and motivate change and influence others. "The more you participate in public speaking, the more not only extroverted and charismatic your speaking tone gets, but also the more clear and developed it becomes." Bolton explained. Not only does it provide students with practice in public speaking, but with speech and debate comes great relationships, and bonds with the people you work with. ~am Pr~vince (11) gets the opportunity to be involved in both speech and debate activities. "What speech and debate means to

me is the relationships you get to form in both," he added. "The best thing about being in both is getting to meet some of the best, most intelligent kindest people in the world. I haven't done any other activity that allows me to meet so many kinds of people, and allows me to create the relationships that I do," Province emphasized. Being in speech and debate also allows students to influence other with their words, and gives a voice in personal opinions. Being able to share beliefs in a formal way through a school activity can be important, and also looks great on college applications. "You're able to get in front of large crowds of people and not feel that anxiety" commented Ariana Leybold (12), one of the two seniors involved in speech and debate. "You're able to also respectfully disagree with people, and I think that's a great skill to have in life because you are able to talk to people about issues that you may disagree with, but you still get your point across in a way that's not disrespectful to that person." Speech and debate provides a multitude of opportunities to help become a step ahead of everyone else so early in life, and many students have gained so much from the opportunities that come with it, through public speaking practice, forming unbreakable bonds, and voicing opinions. These will last the present students involved a long time, as well as the next generation of students with interest in speech and debate for the future.

Both the Speech and Debate's team have been extremely eventful and successful. In debate, there is three different events which are Congress, Public Forum, and Lincoln Douglass. Speech has about 1O or 12 different events involved, and about half of them are acting. There is group acting, individual acting, there is humorous performances, poetry, and persuasive and informative speeches. Most students find events that are fit for them, and go one from there.

th Rules

From the Depths is re-writing the rules of publications. In publications, there are many times where journalist have to be careful about how they state something, or what opinions they voice. Many students feel they have no place to let their voice be heard on the topics that matter most to them. Until now, at least. • This year From the Depths has come under a new administrator, and they are truly letting students be heard. Students work will no longer be censored. "We get a lot of submissions that we have to censor, because the best pieces of work are the ones that people put a lot of emotion, genuine emotion, into. So, this year our team is really trying to encourage kids to not feel like they can't submit work because it might be ce!lcored. We are trying to encourage administration to see why it is important to keep work uncensored because when you censor work it kinda stops being genuine. We aren't going to publish it if we have to censor it. But when you take out all the works that have to be censored that magazine isn't genuine anymore, and starts to feel empty," Peci claims. In the past, students who submit to From the Depths have a chance of their work not making it into the final product due to reasons about what they are writing about. However, that won't be the case any longer. Students have the freedom of speech they have been yearning for.

Students create art for Stoneman Douglas High School -Southeast Knights have joined many of the high schools across the country in the healing process for students who were affected of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14 where 17 students and staff were killec On Feb. 26, Stoneman Douglas students would arrive back to school, with rndividually made hearts with messages of encouragement and hope written on them posted throughout the building; a project that Stoneman's art teacher started.

Media Tech, Nicol Woody, led the project and helped encouraged students to participate in making hearts for Stoneman. "I heard about it through Dan Ruth, an art teacher at LSE. His curriculum specialist at the District told him about it. Dan asked i I'd like to do the project in Knight House." announced Woody. "Knight House had two days to get them done so they could get sent off in time. We asked all trie kids in Knight House, if they . wanted to make one and we would ask students that just walked into the library if they wanted to make one.

"Making hearts felt like the right thing to do. I have a friend that lives close to the school so I made some hearts for him to harn them out to his friends that go to the school. Their [Stoneman students] reaction will be that they will feel good inside and will knm that people care about them and they don't have to worry as much and can be more calm when they come back to school," proclaimed Trinity Brown (9).

Knight house helps me get the work I need done, announced Seth Ahrends (9).

"What I really am fascinated about Knight House is the mix of students. It is cool in my opinion how there are some people here to study and do homework, some to play games and hang out with friend, and some who are here that are waiting for their ride," stated Woody. 202

Behind Secretaries push to ma ke So b e tt e r place ? tudents may know them as the people who write out passes and make announcements, but do students really know what skills our school secretary actually have? They help students, teachers, and even administrators get the word out. However most students don 't know what happens beyond the desk. "I ass ist with staff, students and parents, and answer phone calls," told front desk secretary Deborah Keith . What some students might not know is that there are different secretaries working different positions. "I dec ided to become a sec retary/technic ian because I was in the right time and the right place, also because I get to work directly with kids ," added secretary Mimi Potter. One th ing Keith loves about her job is her surroundings. "My favorite part about my job is working with students," added Keith. . Some students might not know how much a secretary does of our school and our students "I input attendance , work with the TeamMate program, and support administrators as needed," exclaim ed Potter. Potter even publishes the Knightl1fe newsletter! "Every morning I also put all of the printed mail for all of the teachers in their mailboxes in the office," voiced Keith. What some students might not know is how much our secretaries h~lp students out. "The nurses and my counselor worked together to create a permanent pass that I could have with me everyday, so that if I was sensitive to noise or light I could leave class when I was having a hard time or a few minutes before the bell rang , so I could leave before everyone else did ," told Jenny Tran (12). Tran also added that whi le she had a concussion the secretaries helped give her tutor recomme ndations if she didn't understand a particular lesson. Some students might see all of the hustle and bustle of the main office but what they might not see is how the secretary's keep it und er con trol. "There is ALWAYS something going on in the office, someone stopping to visit, som eone needing to get a pass, it changes eve ryday," told Potter What some students don 't rea lize is that the secretary's' help prevent students from getting caught in an ID sweep. "I print off ID's for students, as well as take pictures of the new students when they come to Southeast ," added Keith . Keith also helps out parents in anyway she can. "I request homework for students and set up for parent-teacher conferences," exclaimed Keith. There are so many more things the secretary's have to do to make the school day run smoothly. And although it's just the tip of the iceberg when to comes to what they can do, one thing is for certain we would be lost without their help. Spread by Maggie Stoltenberg Cleane

Southeast has been named cleanest campus three years in a row . We were the cleanest campus from 2011 to 2013! "There is always something going on in office," told Potter.

Being a secretary doesn't just mean you just sit down all day, it means being comfortable to get the job done. Some secretaries have desks that can rise so they aren't just sitting all day . "I print off ID's and also take pictures of new students ," added Keith.

Without the efforts of the Southeast office staff, administration, staff and faculty, as w ell as students in this building, the yearbook you have in your hands would not have been a success. Each spread was created using Online Design. This book is brought to you by Walsworth Publishing Company, our Walsworth Representative, Gre g Adams, our Customer Service Representative, Michelle Brosemer, and an artist from the Walsworth Art Department, who helped us d~sign the cover art. The Shield is a student publication. Only one editi on was printed, therefore, w e apologize for any mistakes that w ere made during this educational process.

Studen t Life Editor

explanation Life is. This is a phrase that can resonate differently within each and every one of us; that's exactly why the Shield yearbook staff chose it as our theme. Southeast is a very diverse high school, with so ts to look at. For some of us, life might be •sports, ac~demics, theater, and for others it could be something completely different. Your life will never be the same as the next person's, and that

many different asp

is wha t makes this book so unique. However, we all do have one thing in common. A big part of all of our lives is Southeast High School. For some of us the best four years of our lives will be spent here. Gre at memories will be made, friendships will last a life time, and opportunities will be waiting. The Shield staff truly tried to capture what life is for a wi variety of students here at Southeast. We hope you can get a sense of wha t life is like for your fellow Knights th-oughout this book. While producing this yearbook, we took a huge step out of our comfort zone. In the past, we typically stuck with ou- school colors: gold, black and white. l\bw , we hove incorporated a large variety of bright colors, which has livened ~ OLr bookl We also decided to use a h,, font· that odds that extra special touch to each spread. lastly we went beyo nd the traditional jolsnalism look by creating a whole

The Shield staff hopes y~ enjoy this l::xx>ft as much as we dd

Letter from the Dear Shield Staff, WOW, we did it! I can't believe w e created such qn amazing, yearbook. This year we took a huge leap in terms of our color pallet, fonts, layouts, and angles. We pretty much took a huge risk with this yearbook, but boy has it paid off! At the beginning of the year I w anted to do something we have never done before; that was my goal. We decided to move away from our school colors of ·black, gold, and white, and onto this beautiful pastel display. W e also decided to incorporate a third font, instead of our typical two fonts. I really think this '/ t.M. ! Mt' adds a ton of character to our book! I'll admit that all these changes from years of tradition was a very daunting task to take on, and at times I second guessed myself with the decision to be so extravagant with this book. I cannot thank everyone on this staff enough for reassuring me that this will be the best book yet. This staff has amazed me in what you can do, and the many talents you hold. I want to quickly address any mistakes that were made within this book. As much as every editor looks at the final spread, some mistakes just slip through. We are a student lead publications team, and this fs a huge learning process for each staff member. I know we w ould also like to apologize for any event that was left out of the yearbook. Due to deadlines, we simply couldn't fit everything in. However, I am so proud of the Shield Staff and how much coverage w e put into this book! Thank you staff for writing such amazing stories that covered close to every event that took place in the Southeast community. Thank you for designing spreads that w ere compelling to look at, and had fun design elements to them. Thank you for taking pictures each week of student life. Without your stories, design, and pictures, this yearbook would be nothing. I am so proud to have my name on this yearbook, and getting to say that I helped create it. We should all be proud of the class time, long hours at home, early mornings, and Saturday workshops that went into creating this amazing book. With all of this hard work we were able to create a book that we can look back at for a lifetime. I would like to personally thank our yearbook adviser, Mrs. Allaire-Ilic, for all the dedication she has put into our yearbook class, and the countless hours she has spent on this yearbook. Thank you for providing us with all the resources we could ever need, as well as the pizza for Saturday workshops! We couldn't ask for a better, more passionate adviser to look up to. I also want to thank Greg Adams, our Walsworth Representative, for the visits he made to our yearbook class throughout the year, and for all the questions Michelle Brosemer answered with a smile! Lastly, I want to soy a huge thank you torny Shield Staff. Did I already say that? You guys have helped create such a different, and fun yearbook. You should all be so proud of our final product and every single contribution you made! It truly means so much to me, and I cannot thank you enough for all of your dedication. I can't wait to see what we can all achieve next year! Thank you so much for letting me be your Editor-in-Chief

Str on g voices sp ak out against sexual assault -Since the Harvey Weinstein incident, more survivors have been coming out to tell their experience with sexual assault and harassment. Celebrities worldwide have been speaking up about their experiences with the Time's Up movement, and are making it clear that this behavior will not be tolerated in our society any longer. In previous years, victims of assault faced fierce repercussions for standing up for themselves after going through sexual assault or harassment. Now, those same people are the ones leading the MeToo movement, and paving the way for other survivors to come forward and be supported and ultimately end sexual violence. On Jan. 7, many women and men from the television, music, fashion industry arrived at the 75th Annual Golden Globe awards in all black - signifying their support to these movements and their intolerance to gender prejudice in Hollywood. The rise and large support of these movements have allowed an open conversation about not only sexual assault and harassment, but also about domestic abuse, gender prejudices, and mental health .

As the opposing team rushes towards the Varsity goalie, Rediger, he stops the ball from going into the goal, preventing his team from losing. "When they are shooting, I'm just looking for gaps and holes that they can shoot the ball through and put myself in a position that I could stop them relatively easily," explained Rediger.

inning certainly isn't everything, but Southeast's girls soccer players _do a pretty good job at it. So far in the season, Varsity has only lost one game, making their record 7-1. Junior Varsity has been winning most of their games as well, with a record of 4-1. Reserve is undefeated with no goals scored against them. "The season is going better than we thought. I think a lot of people expected us to have a rough season, because we lost a lot of seniors last year. Within our team, we knew it was going to be a good season, and I think our second game when we beat Millard South gave us that momentum," Varsity player Schuyler Reise (10) stated. Any athlete loves their game through the wins and the losses, but winning is always more fun! Although Southeast's teams have been on a winning streak, they don't let it get to them. They try to stay humble, and play each game to its full potential. "It feels amazing [to win games]. You just feel like you are on the top of the world, cloud nine. You get over joyed, very happy, and it's just a feeling you can't explain," JV player Jadyn Nachtman (11) described. A great team is made up of great leaders and great coaches. This year Varsity has 1O seniors, who take on extra responsibility to guide their team to victory. "We've been having a really great season; we have some really great leaders! It's going a lot better than last year. We lost to Southwest but we are really confident wtth where we are, going forward ," Elora Maxwell (12), Varsity player, explained. Reserve is sure making a bold statement with being undefeated so far, and having zero goals scored against them! They are also coining the term "mercy rule." In soccer if you score 1O more points than your opponent, the game ends, due to the "mercy rule." Reserve has used this rule multiple times this season.

"We are doing really good. Three out of-four games we have played have ended either before half time, or right after half time because of the mercy rule. Lincoln High was a really memorable game because we got the mercy rule before half time, and I feel like we did really good [during] that game," Reserve player Janae Bunstock (9) spoke. Winning doesn't come easily. The girls have to work hard and train to be where they are. Dedication and passion for soccer truly shines through. "Enjoy it! No matter what team your placed on, find yo ur role on that team. Do that role to the best of your ability, weather that be on the bench, you need to be screaming 110%, or if yo ur playing out on the field, you need to play 110%. No matter how many minutes you get, enjoy the experience, en jo y working hard, enjoy every single hard practice," Maxwell told. Being on Varsity is a big deal, and a great honor. Being on Varsity starter as a sophomore is an even bigger deal! "[Being a sophomore on the team] is no different than being a senior , junior, or freshman on the team. I'm lucky I get minutes , and when you're out on -the field I don't think age really matters because your all there for on·e purpose," Reise exclaimed. While winning is the end goal, the players try not to stress too much: It's better if they ju st stay relaxed and play the game how they know best. "Try not to stress. Remember th at you're playing for the sport, you love the sport. Just do yo ur best and work hard," Bunstock said. Soccer may be an underrated sport at Southeast but th e girls soccer teams are sure proving otherwise. Spread by Maddie Elbracht Molly M ar (11) throws in a ball during the Northstar game. JV played them on March 21 at Spirit Park. "I've been playing since I was little, it's just the sport I've been most investing it. I find it very rew~rding," Mar stated.

Carrie Wehrman (9) passes th e ball during the game against Northstar, on March 21. Wehrman recalls it being a muddy game , and wiping out right when she got in! "I like playing for my team and trying to win . First of all, its fun ·to win, and its also fun to say you helped your team and you all worked together," Wehrman expressed. Kelsey Burkey (12) heads to goal on April 1O, against North Platte; while most games are played Seacrest field, this game ·was played at Spirit Park. Burkey is committed to play soccer in college at Missouri Western State University. "I'm a super competitive person. We all have the willingness to win, and [the team] plays for each other. It's realizing that soccer isn't an individual sport, it's a team sport, it's playing for something bigger than yourself," Burkey explained.

Field events dominate th e spotlight this season W hen most people think of track and field, they usually just think of the runners, but a big part of the sport is the field events. Not as many people watch these events, but they are still just as important as sprinters. Field events include throwing (shot put and discus), high jump, long jump, and pole vault. "[I wanted to do shot put] because I've been doing it since middle school," commented Jhanna McCullough (11 ). McCullough has been throwing since 7th grade and her farthest throw is 36 feet 8 inches. She got second place at the first two meets and first place at the third meet. But McCullough had to put in work to achieve these successes. "Working out, technique, and confidence. Lifting mainly and lots of leg strength," is wh at McCullough does to get better . Dawson Effie (12) has participated in track since his freshman year. His main event is discus and his longest throw is 102.5 feet. "[Before a meet I like to] stretch out my shoulders. It helps because the longer you keep your arm back, the father you will throw," explained Effie. Effie was inspired his freshman year when he helped out at a meet and got to watch the discus competition. "That was kind of cool to me to see how far certain people could get," Effie recalled. Since Effie has been throwing since his freshman year, he has gotten a lot of help from the coaches. "When you first start, the y help with the big movements. Now that I'm a senior, they twe ak minor movements, that if I change I can get a couple more inches. Th ey work on power and flexibility," explained Effie. Another field event that is very technical is high jump.

McCoullough throws the shot put at a meet. This meet was at Fremont High School. "My longest throw was 36 feet 4 inches with an 8 pound ball," told McCoullough.

Em ma Reimann (11) jumps over the hurdle. This was in the 300 meter hurdle race at Fremont High School. "I try to stay focused on myself rather than the competition ," stated Reimann.

Three of Southeast's distance runners run in sync next to each other, during the one mile distance race . "Keep your eyes up and try to catch everyone you can. That's the best way to race ," advised Dustin Seifert (12).

"The most challenging part of high jumping is the form. When you kick your legs up at the end," stated Taveon Thompson (9). But Thompson isn't new to track and field. In 8th grade he won 1st place in the city meet. His highest jump is 5 feet 8 inches. Some athletes on the team do multiple events. Sandra Leybold (10) competes in long jump and sprints. Sometimes when doing multiple events, it can be hard to bp.lance practicing each. "Sprinting is my main event, so I go there first, and I give it about ha lf the time we have for practice and then I go to long jump practice," explained Leybold. Leybold got 1st in the long jump and 3rd in the 100 meter sprint in her first meet this seasons. In the second meet, she won long jump again, got 2nd in the 100 meter sprint, 4th in the 200 meter sprint, and 4th in the 4 by 100 meter relay. But Leybold has to work hard to win like she does. "I set a goal for myself. Whatever technique I use for myself now I work on it but then I think of new techniques that I can also use to get better. When I don't get a good jump or the jump that I want, I discourage my·self. That makes me not jump well. I need to start thinking more positively," voiced Leybold. Even though these events aren't the most watched, they are still just as competitive as the running events and just as important, so if you're ever at a track meet, make sure you stop by an d.

1. ?~o4fIS... ·Ife Varsity Baseball sets goals fo r the season t?eing apart of the baseball team is a very rewarding experience. It gives athletes the opportunity to further their skills and make memories that will last a lifetime. For the past three years, Varsity baseball has come extremely close to winning the State Title. This year, they plan to break that streak and finally bring home what they've worked so hard for. As a senior, Nathan Trenhaile (12) is especially prepared to finish his high school baseball career on a high note. "I'm ready to win State. We've made it every year I've been here, but never won it, so we want to win," Trenhaile co mmented. Head coach, Montana Jones, is very proud of how far this team has come. "Every coach has a dream job and this is one of mine. This team is ready to fight until the end, it's been an honor getting to coach this group," Jones added. Varsity baseball has representation from multiple grade levels, which prepares younger students for the coming y~ ars when the current seniors graduate. Junior, Logan Van Treeck (11 ), is thankful for the opportunity to play a sport he loves wit h a great team. "It's pretty fun getting to hang out with the team, playing the sport we all love. Winning State is by far the biggest go al," Van Treeck explained. Their yearly goals are to win Districts, HAC, City, and of course the State Championship. It is clear that this team won't go down without a fight. Garrett Olson (12) is excited to see how the rest of his senior season pans out. "It's pretty sweet having one last ride as a senior and a leader. We've came up short the past few years at State, but this year we're going to break that streak," Olson expressed. Regardless of the result at the State Championship, the team deserves recognition for their hard work and constan t determination. "They put in a lot of hours in the offseason to prepare for the season and they're a really good crew to work with. They have intrinsic motivation, I'm very proud of them," assistant coach, Kyle Beacom, explained. With the State Title in reach and their motto , "selfless and relentless", the team is ready for anything. It's no secre t that this team has the ability to accomplish whatever they set their minds to. They model great sportsmanship and team unity. Ov ercoming adversity is always a difficult task, but this team is up to it. Spread by Spencer Swearingen Courtesy Photos

Taking •a Swin The boys o f baseball take a hit a t the n e w season 'l?efore the first game of their high school baseball c; re er against Pius, Coach Killion prepares the team with encouragement and key pointers to hype up the boys on the freshman baseball team. Ne Ne s are high, considering it's much different from their former middle school teams, but they are equally. excited to take a swing at a new season. "In our first game, we all came ou t really neNous, because it was the first high school game we ever played, but after the first couple of innings, we started having fun, and we ended up getting a really good win," told Hunter Dragoo (9). One of the most important things Dragoo wants to focus on this season is being a leader on the team, and someone the players can look up to and admire. "I want my teammates to view me as a leader because I feel like I'm a natural born leader. I want to be someone that they can look to and say that I'm someone they want to be like because I'm doing stuff right and I'm a kind of role model type person," retorted Dragoo. They have also learned to come together and work as a team instead of working as seperate parts of a team because there is no I in team. "At the beginning of the year our team wasn't looking too hot because we were rusty, but we learned to come together and work as a team and enjoy baseball instead of just going out there and playing," commented Dragoo. • Not only does each different level of baseball team have learned to work together, but re se Ne has had to go through some sacrifices along the way. "A sacrifice I've had to make is time due to the practices that take it up everyday. Game days are harder with juggling homework and baseball, but with practices we usually get out of there at like 6:00 pm if we go after school and sometimes before that," claimed Jake Rice (11 ). They also have goals they keep along with the sacrifices they make during and off the season. Each and every one of them has goals whether they are big or small. "Goals I personally made during the season are to get better. Coach preaches a lot about getting better everyday like practice with a purpose," explained Rice. Goals are apart of everyday life with people on and off the team, but the team also have highlights of their games throughout the season and they have best games they've played in. "The highlights were getting the strong, good team wins and the best game was against Lincoln High because they w~ren't very good. Not going down to their level and sticking with our game," added Rice. Highlights and games are important, but how their teammates view them is even more important when you're apart of a team that is counting on you to have their back no matter what. "I just want my teammates to respect me and not to have them judge me if I make a bad play. I'd like them to just pick me backup instead of tear me down and view me as an encouraging teammate," sighed Rice. Re se Ne had sacrifices as well as the JV team has. They 263

may not'be the same sacrifices as them, but they are sacrifices they have had to make just the same. "The sacrifices I've had to make is in homework and being away from my family quite a bit on road trips," affirmed Devin Trumbley (11 ). Grades are another thing that's very important if you want to be in baseball or any other sport in high school. "The coaches emphasize our grades. They have grade checks every Monday before the week starts, but they also understand that if you get home late from a game you might have to make up the work you couldn't finish another day," recalled Trumbley. Goals can make a team thrive to do better and work harder on what they need to as well as what they already know on and off the field. "My goals are to get better at what I need to such as pitching and hitting the ball more," replied Trumbley. They have better games than others, but the best game they've played this year is the game against our rivals Southwest. "The start of the game Devin made a diving catch in left field. Also, we won that game against our rivals," recounted Trumbley. They always need more people on the team no matter what and they have tips on how to get on the team as well. "My advice to others who plan or.i making the team is no matter if you make the play or not always hustle and have a positive attitude," voiced Trumbley. Taking a swing at life and the season is what these hard working players do every year no matter the outcome. "I take a swing by coming in knowing that I'm going to need to work hard at whatever I do to get more playing time on varsity," contributed Trumbley. These players worked hard in earning their places on the teams and they took a huge swing at life with a force never seen before. These players are the embodiment that hard work really does pay off in the end. Spread by Evangelia Lengel and Abby Blankenbiller

There are singles (one vs one player) and there are doubles (teams of two vs each other). Within a tennis match there are 6 - 8 singles going on, and 3 - 8 doubles. The first school to win any 5 matches wins the game overall. Now how dose one person win a game? Each game is scored starting at "love" or zero and go up to 40. Starting at love, the first point is 15, than 30, and 40. And then before you know it, it's game point!

{ enriis has changed quite a lot since .it was created in the 17th century. Almost everything has been altered; its name, the rules, even who can play the game. Although one thing has never changed;the players passion for the sport and community that the game provides. ''Tennis is definitely a lifetime sport and is good for everyone to play," Bella Deveny (9) mentioned. around a year now," Deveny stated. The Southeast tenn is teams have roughly 1O players. With a team this small, it allows the players to create personal bonds with their teammates and coach. "One of my favorite memories with the team is just the immediate comradery that we have. Most teams usually have to work on getting close to their teammates and creating those comfort levels, but this team was comfortable with each other from the beginning. It has been fun to see that ," commented Varsity coach Chris Salem. Most people like the sport .tennis because it is a very independent sport and they don 't have to rely on others to win the game. "I like tennis because it allows me to have more of a challenge, because it allows me to better myself," Fidan lbrahimova (12) voiced. Tennis is a lifetime sport, as people call it, but not everyone is a natu ral player. Some take private lessons, or even join other teams to prepare for the spring season. "Many people think that the coaches like teams who have taken private lessons to grow their skill level as a whole," Deveny voiced. Of course not every player starts out playing tennis, some stumble into it because they wanted to play another sport in the off season of another . But they stay and play because of the passion that the sport creates. "I joined tennis because I wanted to do an extra sport and to just get involved. I also thought that it would be a fun experience," Mya Nolan (10) mentioned. Many students play the same sports that their parents play or played, as for tennis it is a lifetime sport so it allows the student to play with someone that is other then their coach and that has different experiences. "My dad has traveled all over the world to play tennis, so i've been involved with tennis most of my life" lbrahimova Mentioned. For some, tennis is not just a sport to play while in school, it is their life. "How has tennis impacted my life? Tennis is my life, I spend more hours coaching than I do teaching. I coach boys tennis in the fall, girls tennis in. the spring, and I teach private lessons in the summer. Tennis is just what I do," told Satem. Besides the long practices and games, weather can make a great day into a bad day real fast. ''Last year we had one match where it was sup er windy and freezing outside, and th~n it started to rain. We had to just tough it out and wait for everyone to finish playing. That one was particularly fun1" laughed Nolan. Tennis may be a lifetime sport, but it doesn't take a lifetime to learn how to play. The Southeast girls tennis team has shown that it doesn't . matter whether you have been playing for years or have just started, all you need is passion and a racket.

pportunity On ly senior on the go lf team is off to college epping up to the tee box, taking a deep breath in, drawing the golf club back and delivering a hard swing. Hole-In-One! The boys golf team is a group of about 14 guys who all are in different grades. Ty Crandon (12) being the only senior on the team is planning to go to college for golf. "I've been playing since I was three years old, I started to play because my dad had played in college for two years and my mother just likes to play for fun as well. So just all round my family has an interest in golf," explained Crandon. Golf has life lessons that can be learned along the way, it has its ups and downs just like any other sport though. The boys all have a close bond with each other and like to have fun hanging out to keep that close bond. From team hangouts outside of school to practices. Of course when it comes to a match they try their best to stay focus and get the lowest scores. But when a team member doesn't do as well as they hoped they all try to motivate each other to keep their heads held high. "If my team and I are having a rough time we always try to talk to each other and be there for one another to keep each other motivate," mentioned Lukas Boehm (11 ). Some of the players have a stunning bond with the head coach, while others have a great bond with the assistant coach. But both coaches help to motivate their players to not only be a better golfer but to be a better student. "I have been playing for 2-3 weeks, and I haven't really played with the coach before then. I would say I have a better bond with the assistant coach. The assistant coach spends more one on one time, he is very relatable as well since he is in college," informed Jackson Reddick (11 ). Although golf is a sport that is relaxing and a place to make friends to many of the players at Southeast, for Crandon, it is a lifelong career that he is eager to embark on after this school year.

He focuses to make sure he accomplishes to get the best score. "No matter how hard you work it's always going to get difficult at times. You just got to work for it and practice as much as you can. It'll always work out in the end," explained Allgood.

Ben Christensen (11) uses his mean skills knowing this is what he has practiced for all season long. "Playing golf and juggling school can be difficult but it helps to teach me how to be responsible and handle time. I have to miss school . days for golf so I have to learn how to work out how to handle school work and practice golf," commented Boehm. . Despite the difficult weather they had to play rn, Jack Hesson (10) mentally prepares himself and discards his surroundings in order to play his best and stay focused on what's important. "I love being able to not only meet new people from Southeast but from other schools that enjoy the same interest as me " smiled Cole Donner (9). ' As the players around Jack Bergmeyer (11) stand silently, Bergmeyer makes a daring swing. He tunes out everyone around him and gets his mind into match-mode. "It can be tough to play under pressure and making sure you do well but if you just block out the background noise and take a deep breath then you'll do bettter," told Crandon. While keeping the perfect stance Christensen drives his club back into the air and hopes the ball drifts toward the hole. "Golf is a sport where you need a lot of focus and you can't let your emotions run wild and get to you while going for your hit because then it will mess up your swing," shared Tanner Gevelin,ger (9).
