MASCOT MINDSET. Noil the Lion looks beyond North Campus, creating a sense of pride by asserting dominance over the school. He waved to cars driving past his domain. “The most meaningful part of LT is realizing that the people around you can change your life without you even knowing it,” Noil roared.

BEHIND BEHIND

Students share their pre-race thoughts and actions

With a calm mind and clear thoughts, Toulios ’27 zones in on her race. Through the tough indoor season, she uses the support of her teammates to push through. She takes all of her jewelry off and puts in her lucky hair tie in order to feel fully prepared in time for her race.

“Most people never saw how close our team actually was although it is a mostly individual sport,” Toulios said.

After the nerves running through her body all day, Jane Weber ’28 walked up to the line calm minded and ready to win. She worked hard throughout the season, attending practices when she was exhausted and pushing through mental blocks. The encouraging environment that surrounded her all season kept her going and made the hard practices worth it.

“I pushed through it by just working even harder and I knew that growth and getting better took time,” Weber said.

3. TAKE OFF. Jane Weber ’28 takes off at the sound of the gun. Weber sprinted and started as the first leg of the 4x1 relay and got a strong start for her team. “I love running the 4x1 because when I am the first leg, I feel like I run faster because I have the pressure on me,” Weber said.

4. GOT HOPS. Kennedy Campbell ’26 runs down the long jump runway, getting ready to leap into the sand pit. Campbell sprinted to try to reach her personal best at the girls’ conference tournament. “I have been on the track team for 4 years, and I absolutely love it,” Campbell said. Photo by L. Brown

5. SPEED. Dylan LeDonne ’27 jumps over the hurdle in his 300 meter hurdle race. LeDonne got enough speed to safely make it over the hurdle to be able to finish his race. “I like doing hurdles because it’s something different in track that isn’t just running,” LeDonne said.

pentathlon, he gives it his all during practice. Starting with a dynamic warm up of walking and running a lap. Also, he does some stretches before jumping into stations to prepare for upcoming meets.

“I got to race in 5 events,” Nogueda-Nunez said. “The 100 and 800 meter run, high jump, shot put, and running high jump.”

There were many student helpers, in the spring they chose to come and be a coach for the team. Lisa Baron ’26 had been coaching since her sophomore year after she received an email looking for coaches.

“Once I received that email, I signed up to participate right away, and I’ve been doing it every year since then,” Baron said.

While there were many events

Students practice hard for upcoming meets

in each meet, every athlete got to at least compete in shot put and a running event as well, Macayla Gainer ’28 quickly decided that running was her favorite event.

“I loved to run because I was super fast,” Gainer said. “I also got to hear all my friends cheering.”

As many of the students’ abilities varied, accommodations were needed to make every event as accessible as possible. For example, in shot put there were three different ball sizes ranging from a tennis ball to a real shot put ball, according to Baron.

“The students I worked with needed a lot of adaptations throughout the meets,” Baron said. “I loved having the ability to help them and make sure they could all enjoy their experiences.”

Members experiment with dance styles

After months of rehearsals and preparation, the dance company finally took the stage for opening night. Following the performance, Maddie Dienes ’26 sat with the rest of the company at dinner as they celebrated their hard work and prepared for two more performances.

“After the first performance, it was tradition for the company to go to Aurelio’s,” Dienes said. Members practiced every day after school in preparation for the show. Around 50 dancers auditioned for the company and went through multiple rounds of tryouts before rehearsals officially began at the end of February, Reese Morgan ’27

“The tryouts were two days long. The first day was everyone and the second day was callbacks,” Morgan said.

Throughout the season, dancers spent hours learning choreography, cleaning routines, and preparing for the performances. The dances were choreographed and taught by different members of the company, the show to featured a wide variety of styles, Parker Ninesling ’27

“We had a lot of variation, but there was some overlap because we had so many dances. There were a few jazz dances and a few contemporary dances”

IN STEP STEP IN

As Teyana Magajne ’26 observes the floor, she is excited for the day of watching senior alumni and local elderly showcasing their dance skills in the new cafeteria. The band starts to play louder, and more people take the floor alongside their dates to enjoy the timeless routines that they performed many years ago.

“Their main advice was to find something you actually enjoy doing because you’ll be doing it forever,” Magajne said.

One of the few boys at the event, Matej Naunov ’28, was a member of the student council, and collected the papers left out on tables so that seniors could write their advice. Although the letters wouldn’t be read until the next meeting, they usually had a lot of great advice.

“The thing for me that made the

night special were the students who showed up and showed the alumni how much we really cared. We danced with them, and overall, we all got something out of the experience,” Naunov said.

Mia Markovic ’29 volunteered for the first time, and the night ended up meaning more to the seniors, and her, than she thought. The dancing didn’t feel awkward and she got to hear their stories.

“I think what made the night special was that it gave them a chance to have fun, meet people, and feel included, especially since they had prom so many years ago and it was heartwarming to be able to experience it again. You could tell it really meant a lot to them, which made it special for us too,” Markovic said.

Students dedicate their time to art

With art being a large part of her life, Danielle Schau ’27 loves seeing all of the art, and has made it a tradition to stop by and admire it all. However, this year she participated herself, winning one of the Dixon Law Awards.

“Art was a big part of my life because even when I was not actively drawing, I was always looking for inspiration,” Schau said. “This year, I submitted a mixed media drawing inspired by the phrase ‘Do no evil.’ It was part of a series, but it was my favorite because of the composition.”

Francesca Cooper ’26 won the Dixon Scholarship Award this year. She dedicated a large amount of time to her art. This was her fourth year participating in the show, but she had loved to go to see everyone else’s work as well, not only her own.

“The art show was very important to me because it was a big opportunity to present my art to others,” Cooper said. “Through working consistently and bettering my craft, I was able to be awarded the scholarship. Art was a big part of my life, as most things I did were very creative, and I was planning to major in the arts.”

After having gone every year throughout high school, Sylwia Siebiesiuk valued her artwork from her Junior and Senior year the most, she had been in AP those years, and was able to create her best work then.

“I think it was important for people to see the art that others had created. I sketched and painted a lot, which allowed me to express my creativity in different ways, and my favorite part of going was looking at the other cool stuff other people have made,” Siebiesiuk said.

As Jada Johnson ’27 ensures precise arm movements and demonstrates unforgettable high leg kicks, she helps the team tell a memorable story during their tenth year anniversary of their home performance, “Step into the Lions Den.” The various obstacles that occur behind the scenes during their long day establish an incredibly close-knit team bond, according to Johnson.

“Not having enough water bottles or snacks led to exhaustion at the end of the day, but [we] were still able to go onto the stage and demonstrate an amazing performance to close out our tenth annual competition,” Johnson said.

While coaching her 26th year of Steppers, Tamiaka Killins helped incorporate a dive step into their routine, which is something that no other team in the nation does. They also brought a distinctive rhythm to the routine through

blindfolded steps, transitions, and ripple effects, according to Killins.

“The team and assistant coaches this year surprised me with a huge recognition with gifts. I was so appreciative and so happy,” Killins said.

The team formed an unbreakable bond throughout their time creating this performance by working together as a unit rather than as individual members. Their practices allowed them to evolve not only in their routines as whole, but as individuals, allowing them to create new ideas for every competition as a team, according to Allison Dudley ’27.

“You can practice a step all you want at home to perfect yourself, but it’ll all be nothing if you don’t also practice with the team, since perfection in step came from each other. It was like our motto, ‘One Sound, One Beat,’” said Dudley.

PLANS SUMMER PLANS

Students share their plans for the summer

“I will be nannying for a family all summer. I will also be going to Texas to see my cousins and grandma in the middle of June. Whenever I am not nannying I am hoping to be at my lakehouse. Then I am going to Colorado for soccer nationals in the beginning of July. ”

Hannah Herchenroether ’28

“First I’m going to Serbia to visit my friends and family. I am going to celebrate my 18th birthday there because it’s a big part of Serbian culture. Then I’m going to Montenegro with my mom and brother on vacation. After my best friend and I are going to France, and I’m going with my other friend to Turkey. After all that I am going to relax at the beach in Montenegro, as well as in France and Turkey, I will explore Paris, Istanbul, and Antalya with my friends too.”

Stefan Majstorovic ’26

“I will be a lifeguard at the Western Springs Service Club and teach swim lessons to kids. We teach them a variety of things at multiple different levels.

Kelly ’26

“I have a friend I met named Orla, who lives in Scotland, while playing video games several years ago. We gradually became super close friends. We have sent each other mail and check in with each other often. I will finally meet my dear friend in person when I visit Edinburgh for two weeks in the summer. Orla and I are excited to see one of our favorite bands together, My Chemical Romance, in Glasgow when I visit. While I’m in Scotland, I plan to tour and enjoy the new environment, and also spend lots of time finally hanging out with my long distance friend in person.”

“I am participating in Salt Creek Ballet’s summer intensive program in June. We take different dance classes (ballet, contemporary, and modern) and learn various dances every weekday from 8:30-3:30. We usually perform them for friends and family sometime in July; however, I’m visiting my grandparents in Wisconsin so I will not be preforming. I’m also working at Maureen Claffy art academy in Hinsdale. We teach kids K-5 different art techniques and help them with their art projects.”

“First I’m staffing a camp for a National Youth Leadership group. It is called Scouting Americas Pathway to Adventure Council, and it’s five days of teaching the different aspects and skills to leadership. Then I am doing the Owasippe camp which is six days where Scouts get to earn merit badges, learn new skills, and try new experiences. We also play camp games and learn what scouting is all about. It will be my sixth year going and second year volunteering. After that I’m going on a canoe trip in Canada which will consist of fishing, swimming, and even sightseeing.”

OUT AND GOWN

As Grace Liston ’26 concludes her final semester of high school, emotions are high. Whether it is excitement for college, senioritis, or nostalgia for the last 4 years of memories, the bittersweet mixture of feelings makes her cherish her last few weeks with the people and friends she has become close with during high school.

“I was very excited for the next chapter of my life but it was really sad leaving all the friends I had met,” Liston said.

Seniors endured the emotional turbulence that came with second semester as well as a lack of motivation, according to Lindsey Dunneback ’26. During second semester, it became extremely difficult to keep going to school since many were already accepted into college.

“I did not really want to go to school

anymore, but I knew I still had to finish out the year strong even though I was basically already done,” Dunneback said.

The seniors not only reflected on the past, but also looked ahead to the future, according to Brooke Manley ’26. Though it was sad the year was ending, many were excited to start at college in the fall.

“I was excited to get to meet so many new people to make friends and also find a new place to call home,” Manley said.

Graduates were not only excited to meet new people at college, but also excited to pursue new careers and opportunities, according to Aileen Blake ’26.

“I was most excited to take classes in topics I was really interested in and to be able to live on my own,” Blake said.

Reflecting on her time with Tab, Lauren Mariduena ’26 recognizes just how special it was. She realizes that she cannot take everything from Tab with her as she moves on in her life.

“I was going to miss the people,” Mariduena said. “Everyone on tab was so close and I think the reason our yearbook was so successful was because of the bonds we all made and how enjoyable it was to work together to create it.”

But even though the seniors would miss things, it didn’t mean that the seniors had to feel sad about leaving Tab, because they could still look back fondly on their time producing the book, according to Tess Mulvenna ’26

“My favorite memory was the Beyond The Blue theme reveal becaue a lot of work went into

producing the theme and we were excited to share it with the staff,” Mulvenna said.

Besides the memories that came from producing the book, the seniors also left with many recollections of the good times they all spent together, according to Maddie Wood ’26.

“I loved sitting in a big circle with all my friends in the Tab room, just laughing and talking about whatever was on our mind,” Wood said.

Not only did the seniors leave Tab with good memories, but they also left with valuable lessons learned, according to Erin Busby ’26.

“The best thing I learned was that the effort you put into something really does show,” Busby said.

“I went to clubs multiple times and doing that just got so much coverage and made the book better.”

Students reflect on their time in Minneapolis

When Luke Edwards ’27 arrived at Minnehaha Falls, he laid his eyes on the long-awaited waterfall. He expresses with joy that it is the best thing he has seen in his life. The atmosphere surrounding him helps boost the morale of his fellow tabbies, according to Edwards.

“I was just in a silly, goofy mood the whole trip. I was messing around with everyone on the trip and had a lot of funny moments,” Edwards said.

During her session, Peyton Carmody ’26 found joy in seeing all of the junior tabbies cheering her on while she presented with her partner Tess Mulvenna ’26 Throughout the trip, she valued bonding with the younger tabbies.

“I connected with all the juniors because, as an EIC, I was working all of the time during the school year and wasn’t able to talk as much, but we were really able to connect through different activities like going to the baseball game and going to Minnehaha Falls,” Carmody said.

At the Twins Game, Claire Collins ’26 loved seeing everyone dancing on the Jumbotron. With the field in the background, she had a huge smile when she took photos with all of her friends

“We all sat in the lobby and talked, and went to a random session with people you wouldn’t have normally talked with,” Collins said.
