With trips to Utah, California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Minnesota, senior Caleb Petersen's summer was full of adventure. While in California, Petersen learned to surf at Laguna Beach and took part in a family hiking trip. Surfing wasn't the only time Petersen spent in the water. While in Arizona, Petersen's family hit up Lake Powell for a day of jet skiing, which he described as "crazy awesome." In Utah, Petersen's family members took turns driving 100 miles per hour on the Salt Flats in Bonneville. Petersen was a camp counselor in Colorado, where he also spent time rock climbing.

Petersen and several other Southwest students, including senior Chase Florom, traveled to Minnesota to sing with a group named "Esprit De Corps." They sang in churches and rehabilitation centers. "It was cool to see that God can work through us in ways we didn't even e=---.--.... know," Florom said.

"We had our mission trip in Lincoln to show that you don't need to go overseas to make a difference. There's plenty of people in our own community that we can serve," said Petersen.

PUTTING IN WORK. What better way to spend your summer than feeding into Nebraska's biggest stereotype? This is exactly what junior Liz Uebele decided to do with her time this summer.

By 5 a.m.; Uebele was ready to head off to Schernikau Farm for a long morning of detasseling. She worked from July 4 to Aug. 3. "Every kid should detassel because it helps you learn the value of a dollar, and it gives you a good work ethic," said Uebele. Uebele (right) is pictured sitting on a bus during her free time with friends from her detasseling group. She took a break from cornfields and made her way to the tennis courts at Northwestern Missouri State Camp.

"We mostly worked on drills, but we also had tournament days," said Uebele. She won

by consolation in the singles tournament. To top off her summer, Uebele took a road

trip with senior Bailey Rangel to watch junior Kailey Hill and freshman Elliot Hill's father get married. "It was a ton of fun to road trip by ourselves. I'm pretty sure the only thing that kept us going was Starbucks," said Rangel. "The cupcakes at the wedding were unbelievable, so it made it extra worth it," said Uebele.

Like the cell phone was of the late twentieth century, social networking is of the early twenty- first. Our obsession. The one thing that we will remember most from our high school careers. Whether yoL r favorite social networking site is Facebook, Twitter or lnstagram, many of us use them all day everyday. Sophomore Kinzee Hillis said her favorite social networking site is "lnstagram, because I like to see what exciting things people are up to." The trend of social media began with MySpace. Then Facebook took center stage. In the last few years, Twitter, Tumblr, lnstagram and Pinterest have climbed to the top. "My • favorite thing about social networking sites is that you can upload pictures and stay in contact with friends , even though I hate all the fake accounts," junior Ethan Escamilla said. While sophomore Devon Comstock said, "My least favorite thing about social networking sites is the random things that are posted."

Particularly on lnstagram, there are different trends for each day of the week. Below are some of the different trends for each day of the week and what they mean.

#MancandyMonday On Monday, users post pictures of attractive guys on lnstagram. These guys are either celebrities or other guys they know. Senior Phillip Pendergrass said, "I like being connected through social networking sites with friends and family but I do not like it when people are mean or rude on social networking sites."

Pictured: Phillip Pendergrass

#Transformation Tuesday Tuesdays are filled with baby pictures and up to date pictures, showing how much each person has changed in the past few years. Junior Nick Rung said that his favorite social networking site is Twitter. "I check different social networking sites about five times a day." Rung said. Pictured: Nick Rung

#WomancandyWednesday Same as #MancandyMonday but on Wednesday, lnstagram explodes with pictures of hot women. "I spend about three hours each day on social networking sites , using my phone and computer ," sophomore Katelin Ausdemore said. Pictured: Katelin Ausdemore

"#ThrowbackThursday is my favorite trend on lnstagram. I like to see pictures of people from when they were kids and when they were younger," sophomore Neely Fisher said. Much like Tuesdays, on Thursdays users of lnstagram throw it back to when they were younger or even a few weeks ago, showing how much they have changed. Pictured: Junior Owen Koepke

#SelfieSunday On Sunday, much of lnstagram is filled with selfies. These selfies can be either of just yourself, which most of them are, or of you and someone else. These photos are usually taken at arms length from a phone. Senior Joe Whittle said, "I use Twitter, Facebook, lnstagram, Vine, Tumblr, and Pinterest." Pictured: Sophomore Erika Etzelmiller, who has over 3,000 followers on lnstagram.

DEGREES OF SEPARATION

In a school of over 1,800, most students don't know everyone, but some are linked together even if they don't know it. Degrees of separation is used to show bonds and connections between people that may be unexpected.

An example of "degrees of separation" would be junior Cooper Christiancy, who was in Speech with senior Connor Blankenau, who was a Drum Major with senior Justin Mescher.

At Southwest people could join clubs and sports to meet a

variety of people in different grades. There were many different opportunities for students to get involved at school that got them connected with peers.

The students above were linked through relations and activities they were a part of. These connections started with our new principal, Mr. McDermott, and connected back to him through 17 students.

Five students from around the world had the privilege of becoming Silver Hawks at the beginning of this school year.

Coming from places that had a whole different lifestyle, these students had to make some adjustments.

Most of the students missed being away from home. Adjusting to their new host families was a challenge.

"I really miss my mum," said junior Vilde Sterten, who was from Norway.

Their families weren't the only thing these students missed.

"I miss chocolate, some food and being able to walk everywhere" said junior Charlotta Borglin from Sweden.

Coming to America, these students learned about the differences the U.S. culture had to offer.

"All of these resources, we don't have them in Spain. The society is so much more developed," said junior Facundo

TUDENTS

Cacace Fontalva.

Some students found that what many Americans consider "normal," they considered to be unusual.

''The first time I saw a drive-thru bank I didn't know what it was. All I saw was a giant tube taking a check. We don't have them in Sweden," said Borglin.

While lifestyles may have been different, the students found the people of America to be very welcoming.

''The people are really nice," senior Aitana Pena Dominguez said.

Slowly but surely with the help of staff, peers and their host families, these students adjusted and learned how life works in a different country.

With their shared experiences, they will be able to go back to their countries and share all of their fun memories with friends and family.

"YES IA A, T RE IS A SANT C AU

Silver Hawk Theatre presented "Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus," for their winter production. The story was based on a teleplay by Val DeCrowl and Andrew J. Fenady.

The play focused around a letter written over 100 years ago by 8-year-old Viginia O'Hanlon, who was played by sophomore Abigail Stine. The letter was sent to the editor of "The New York Sun" asking if there was a Santa Claus. O'Hanlon wrote to the editor , Frank Church, played by junior Grant Schirmer , who was a depressed man after losing his wife and baby the previous year on Christmas Eve.Together the performers and production staff made the audience enter New York City during 1897.

The cast and crew had many memorable moments together. Many of them considered themselves to be a family. They spent an abundance of time together rehearsing and perfecting the play for the audience.

Along with the performers, the crew was also part of the stage family. Led by Stage Manager,

senior Nolan Vogel, Director Mr. Bob Henrichs, and Theatre Tech Mr. Scott Engel, the cast and crew worked hard and had fun teasing each other.

"During auditions Trey Merwick said a line wrong and Scott and Bob have harrassed him ever since," said sophomore Connor Cars on.

"I find every moment fun. We all became a huge family during a show. It's like trying to choose one memorable moment from years of living with your own family," said sophomore Rhiannon Ling, who played Andrea Borland.

"In one scene, I had to buy a newspaper, but for some reason I always ended up with the wrong one, so the other people I talked to in the scene always joked that I was 'from the future,"' said senior Madeline Stuart.

Throughout rehearsals and final productions the cast had many laughs. In the end, they came together to make a successful production. Most cast members enjoyed spreading the Christmas cheer throughout the audience and crew.

HAWKS SHOW THEIR SPIRIT

Student Fan Federation (SFF) began as a way to show school spirit and to support fellow students at all athletic events.

As the year went on, SFF became less about being a group and more about students showing character as individuals who showed up to cheer on fellow classmates. SFF was no longer a club, but instead small groups of fans coming together to paint up, yell and jump around as they watched their friends compete at various sporting events

"During the season, the Girls Golf team didn't get a lot of support, but when we had people cheering us on at State, it helped us do much better," said junior Megan Mueting.

One common thread that brought fans out to support their teams was breast cancer awareness. Silver Hawks could be seen at football, basketball and soccer games sporting their bright pink attire in honor of those fighting or who have fought breast cancer.

"Breast cancer awareness is really important. It's cool to see sports teams pull people together for a good cause," said senior Alyssa Meyer.

By showing school spirit the entire year, or choosing to attend a single event , Hawk spirit was in full swing.

HAWKS PUSH THROUGH

Like the hills they ran on, the Boys Cross Country team had many ups and downs throughout the season.

"Throughout the rough spots, our team continued to better itself and grow closer together," said senior Seth Vandergriend.

Senior Tyler Schuster added that the team's biggest accomplishment was, "Coming together as a team and finding ways to improve."

For the third consecutive year, the Hawks claimed the title of City Champions, with a team score of 35. Winning the City Tournament led the team to a school record.

Seniors Noah Burke and Reid Shubert agreed that winning the City Tournament was the highlight of their season.

The team also had four second place wins including the Titan Classic, the Lincoln High Invite, the

HAC Conference and the District Championship.

The boys became more than just teammates after hours of running together.

"We became one entity, 'IT.' IT is love , IT is life," said Burke.

Besides running, the team bonded over bowls of noodles at their pasta feeds before meets, as well as gathering one last time before races to pray as a team.

"We huddled up and said the Husker prayer right before our race ," added sophomore Carter Knopik.

"What I will remember about cross country when I am much older, is not the meets, or even the running, what I will remember is my' teammates and all the fun we had at pract ices and meets," said Vandergriend.

no I so 1n HAWKS BRING HOME A STATE TITLE

Running until you have no more. Taking your last few strides until you reach the finish line. Trying as hard as you can at every practice. Cross Country is not easy, but the Hawks made it look that way this season, coming back to the Nest as State Champions.

"I always try and catch the next person, and push as hard as I can up the hills ," said senior Sara Steinauer.

When most people think about cross country , they see it as an individual sport. But to the Silver Hawks, that ' s not the case.

"We're like one big family; all of the girls are so sweet," said sophomore Kinzee Hillis.

The Girls Cross Country team was the farthest thing from individuals

"Before every race we have a team dinner and do our cheer. It's a great way to get pumped up and bond as a team," junior Hannah Wolkenhauer said.

The team sang the song, "Go Bananas" right before they ran; they said it threw off the other

teams and loosened them up.

In order for the Hawks to place first in nine meets, they each had to perform commendably at every race.

Senior Anna Hurlbut set the meet record at the Titan Classic, helping the Hawks take first place.

"The best part of this year is that every girl, Varsity and JV, did her best everyday and gave everything she had. It's not very often that you get to be part of team like this one," Hurlbut said.

Both JV and Varsity had a very successful season. JV put in hard work to get better every single day and competed with determination at each race. Varsity won every meet, and placed second at conference.

After a long hard season, the Hawks brought home a State Title with five girls placing in the top 30. Hurlbut finished in 4th, Berzonsky in 5th, Wolkenhauer in 17th, Augustyn in 23rd and Burke in 25th.

Photo by Molly Meister/Talon

HAWKS WORKED HARD THIS SEASON

"1, 2, 3 One Love." You could hear the Junior Varsity team chant this after every practice and game. The team said that they recited the cheer because it symbolized their passion for their sport and how they played as a team.

"We shout it because we all love Softball and that's why we're here," said junior Keely Anderson.

Practicing day in and out, rain or shine, the JV and Reserve Softball teams came a long way. Sweating away the pain and not looking back, they had two remarkable seasons.

Along the way, there were many memories made.

"My most memorable moment was when we were playing Grand Island. It was really fun and even though we weren't doing very well we all stayed positive and had a good time," said sophomore Dyan Alwin, who played on both the JV and Reserve teams.

While some people had team memories, others had an individual moment that stuck out.

"Something I'll remember was when I played third base. It was my first time at that position, so I think of that as a success to be able to play in a new position," said sophomore Alex Grabast.

Although the players had some rough times, they also had some big wins. JV ended as regular season City Champs, participated in the Papillion JV Tournament , in which they team won 4-1 , and participated in the finals of the City Tournament.

Junior Varsity finished the year with a record of 16-7, and Reserve finished 6-11.

"I feel that Softball is more of a team sport. Everyone has to be supportive of each other because it doesn't work if not everyone is together. I love the atmosphere of Softball," said junior Brooke Brestel, a catcher on the JV team.

The team made some great memories that they will always look back on, but one thing that the girls will always remember is their ability to play as a team "1, 2, 3 One Love."

HAWKS GIVE IT THEIR A LL

The Girls Varsity Softball team gave it their all this season, with several underdog victories and other major wins.

"We did a lot better than anyone would have ever expected," said senior Samantha Nelson.

"At the beginning of the season, we weren't even rated as a contender, and going into state we were ranked fourth, so that was pretty cool, " added senior Megan Hartman.

The highlight of many of the players' season was getting two victories against their rival , Southeast.

A 2-1 win against Papillion LaVista, at the time ranked number one , was another one of the team's highlights. The Hawks were the only team to defeat Papillion all season

As the season carried on, the Hawks continued to prove themselves by winning Districts and making their way to the State Tournament.

The team had great chem istry on the field, and when they stepped off the diamond it was just as strong.

"We really had each other ' s backs. This season was the most fun I' ve had plalying on a Softball team, " said Hartman.

The girls' time off the dirt included team dinners and senior Trina Nelson painting a lot of nails.

"We bonded really well, " said sen ior Brittany Gill.

One of the team ' s best bonding experiences happened in an unexpected place. After a win against Beatrice , a storm hit and the team had to go into lockdown at a local Walmart ; they played games , including hide-andgo-seek , and ate ice cream.

"It was actually super fun, and very memorable," said senior Grace Gustafson.

The team accomplished a lot over the season and stretched their limits. The Hawks final record was 25-8.

GIRLS GOLF BECOMES A FAMILY

This year the girls golf team became closer than ever; they became a family. The girls spent almost every day together during the season by having long practices, team dinners and tournaments.

"We have made what everyone calls an individual _ sport into a team effort," senior and team captain Ellie Wiltfong said.

With many of the girls returning, they were able to come together as a team, and with the support of their teammates, the girls were able to overcome their fears on the course.

"I remember the first Varsity tournament we had. Lydia (Jons) was so nervous and anxious. With everyone ' s encouragement and advice she ended up doing great," said senior Alexa Kasi.

The Varsity team placed first in the LPS Championship, ending with a par of 84 on a par of 72 course.

As the season progressed , both Junior Varsity and varsity continued to improve their scores.

They were seeded third in the state leading up to districts. Placing second in the Heartland Athletic Conference , they worked their way up to first at districts.

"We really had to focus at practice and not get frustrated if we had a bad shot. We definitely improved from last season ," Kasi said.

Freshman Lidia Jons had a great experience her first year on the team finishing with some of the best scores.

"I was honored to be one of the few freshmen to ever make Varsity. I was really nervous at the beginning but the girls made me feel like I was a part of the team."

As the season came to an end, the team had achieved a great deal of success and formed an unbreakable bond.

"It saddens me to think about leaving. Golf is what I will miss most about high school. I made a lot of friends from being on the team the last four years and I'm going to miss each and every one of them," Wiltfong said.

The girls had an outstanding season and ended the season as state runner-up with a par of 371. Senior Alexa Kasi had the best individual score on the team finishing with 91. Four out of the five girls on the team placed in the top 25 out of 69 girls in the state tournament.

Having a strong team bond is what got the team to state. The players' positive attitudes and hard work compelled the team to do their best this season.

"I'm so proud of the girls. I loved watching them grow as golfers and as people," said coach Jim Danson.

HAWKS STRIVE TO BE ON TOP

Through hard work and lots of practice , the volleyball teams came out on top this season with impressive records to show for it. The JV team ended with a 15-7 record , the Reserve team ended with 11-6 and Freshman with 12-7.

Even though these girls made winning look easy, they went through countless hours of practice to improve as a team Not only did they devote their time after school to volleyball , but they also spent multiple weekends at tournaments and Saturday practices.

" My favorite moment from the season was beating Southeast in the City Championship ," said freshman Hailey Beck , an outside h itter on the Reserve team.

The Freshman team also won their City Tournament , and JV took th ird

The teams made memories and built friendships on and off the court this season.

" My favor ite part about playing volleyball was the comradery between the players and teams, " said

freshman Makenna Widholm, a middle hitter on the Reserve team.

"I liked meeting new people and learning to play together as a team ," said freshman Sarah Berry, a middle hitter on the Freshman team.

With so much time spent together, the teams had many bonding experiences.

" My team really bonded during bus rides and team dinners ," said sophomore Missy Crew , a member of the JV team. "We also danced before games in the locker rooms."

"We got a lot closer during bus rides and also mak i ng team signs together, " said Brianna Oehm , a freshman on the Reserve team.

Through wins and losses, the volleyball teams not only improved into stronger teams , but became closer friends.

"At the beginning there were a lot of clusters of players , but by the end we all connected and really acted great as a team ," Crew said.

GIRLS ON FIREf UNITED AS ONE

With seven returning starters and three returning Varsity players, the Hawks had an advantage from the beginning.

The Varsity Volleyball team started off strong by defeating Lincoln North Star in three sets. The team continued to have success and finished with a record of 25-9.

The Hawks progressed over the season becoming City Champions, Conference Champions and District Champions. The Hawks were also runner up at the LPS Classic and the Westside Invitational.

The girls defeated the number three seed, and school rival, the Lincoln Southeast Knights. The Hawks lost the first and third set but didn't give up and got the victory in five sets with an ace block by senior Kaylyn Fern and sophomore Madison Kelle.

"Beating Southeast was one of my favorite memories of the season, especially the dog pile in the middle of the court after the game," Kelle said.

Having chemistry on the court was just as important off the court. Team dinners were a tradition

for the girls, along with blasting music in the locker room and singing, "Take A Bow" by Rihanna.

"I love doing our cheer before games," junior Sydney Anderson said.

These rituals had a huge impact on the team.

"We're not really teammates; we are more like sisters," junior Keeley Kroeker said.

After sweeping Bellevue West in the District Championship, the Hawks proceeded on to the State Tournament.

At State they took on the number two seed, Omaha Marian. The Hawks barely lost the first and second set, but won the third. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the fourth set.

Although the outcome of State was not what they wanted, the girls had nothing to hang their heads about as they had taken a set from the State Champions.

As the season came to an end, the Lincoln Journal Star ranked the Varsity Volleyball team t~ird in the state.

HAWKS GO UNDEFEATED ALL SEASON

Losing their first set to Southeast, number one doubles seniors C.J. Sjulin and Justin Brinkman were determined to come from behind and take the victory. Sjulin and Brinkman quickly came back securing a 6-3 victory in the second set.

With the game tied at one set each, the two teams battled for the third and final set. In the third set, Sjulin and Brinkman dominated their opponents winning 6-3 and receiving the gold medal at state.

This year's team claimed the title by two points over Creighton Prep.

Junior Jon Meyer got fourth playing number one singles, and junior Alex Woodward got second playing numb(3r two singles. Number two doubles duo, juniors Max Ferguson and Cameron Spurrier, finished second as well.

"The most memorable moment this season, for me, was winning my quarterfinals match at state because I was cramping up and I did not think I would be able to finish it. My teammates really supported me and it was crazy," junior Jon Meyer said.

Th e team also got first in the Heartland Athletic Conference Tournament. Junior Jon Meyer (num-

ber one singles) and seniors Justin Brinkman and C.J. Sjulin (number one doubles) all got first in their respective matches.

The Hawks started strong in their regular season, with Varsity having a record of 11-0, and JV and Reserve having records of 10-1 and 10-2.

Last year's number one doubles, seniors C.J. Sjulin and Justin Brinkman, proved to be a powerhouse once again this year starting their season off with only two losses in the regular season and carrying that momentum to state.

Even though most of tennis happened on the court, players took away memories that will last a lifetime.

"My favorite moment this season was when I hit the winning shot, with the ball upper cutting my opponent," Sophomore Akshat Saraf said.

This season was very successful for all three divisions of tennis. Varsity went undefeated and got first at state, Junior Jarsity got first at the JV LPS Tournament, and Reserve got second at the Reserve LPS Tournament.

HAWKS P U T IN

"My favorite part of Southwest Football is getting to play with my teammates as we represent our school," sophomore Jared Jesske said.

Football takes a lot of hard work. Practicing play by play until they're right, and working on defensive and offensive skills until they are perfect. That's exactly what the JV, Reserve and Freshman Football teams did this year.

Some players dreaded conditioning and running in practice. Even though many of the football players say that the worst part about football was the conditioning, most agreed that getting a big win made all of the hard work worth it.

Throughout practices and gamedays, the players never failed to put in good effort. All three teams had many big games this season.

JV had a big win against the Norfolk Panthers 3428 in overtime, Reserve beat our rivalry school, the Lincoln Southeast Knights, 17-14 and the Freshman team beat the Grand Island Islanders 35-20 for their biggest win of the season.

GOOD EFFOR T -

Throughout the season, all three squads had an even split of 12 and 12 for wins and losses respectively.

Each team had their own way of celebrating their victories. One of the ways that seemed the most popular was singing as a team.

"After we get a win, we sing 'Hail to the Victors' as a team to celebrate," said freshman Max McGui re.

The players didn't just share traditions when they won a game, they had several other team activies as well, like team dinners.

"We have team dinners at school on gamedays before each game. We also have team nights two days before the game," said junior Mitch Parker.

While these traditions seemed like a constant part of the season each week, they ended up as memories in the blink of an eye.

"My favorite memory throughout high school Football is that you get close to your friends t~rough playing the game," said junior Mitchell Conklin.

no ex us HAWKS BEAT LONG TIME RIVAL

The fall season brought many challenges to the Varsity Football team. One obstacle to overcome was their lack of experienced returning starters. However, the Hawks worked together to welcome new players to the team and overcame adversity.

Finding a new quarterback was one particular problem the Hawks faced this season; the answer was junior Chase Gobel. Gobel brought talent to the team that helped them overcome the odds.

"The best part about being the Varsity quarterback was getting to be with all the guys and beating Southeast ," said Gobel.

The highlight of the season for many was snapping a four year losing streak to Lincoln Southeast. The Hawks

out played the Knights to secure a 13-1 O win in overtime.

Senior Mitchell Johnson recovered a fumble and the winning field goal was scored by senior Ryan Lindahl.

"The ball just hopped right into my hands ," said Johnson .

Overall, the Hawks played a great season and accomplished many goals , including securing a spot in the State playoffs. They came up short in the first round against Omaha Westside losing 35-6

Whether it was integrating new·players or taking down a long time rival , the Hawks had a great season and finished strong.

IBOYS FINISH AS RUNNER-UP

In swimming, there is a term called "outside smoke," used to describe the swimmer in the outside lanes, the underdog, who unexpectedly wins the race. This swimmer slang couldn't be more relevant to the Southwest Boys Swim and Dive teams and their success throughout the season.

Four years ago, the Boys Swim team wasn't a blip on the state's radar for competition, but this year they overcame the odds and finished the season as State Runner-ups, beating the third place finishers by almost 80 points. This was the first time in school history that the Boys Swim team had finished second.

Their State team consisted of eight swimmers: Nolan Reid, Ben Morris, Drew Linder, Nick Dionisopoulos, Vlad Blazhievskiy , Carter Lyons, Griffin Day and Noah Burke, all of which finished in the top 10 in one or more events and participated in breaking one or more school records.

All previous school records were broken except for the 100-yard backstroke.

Junior Vlad Blazhievskiy won the 500-yard freestyle for the second year in a row with a time of 4:39.21. Carter Lyons placed second in the 200-yard IM with a time of 1:53.70. Nick Dionisopoulos finished third in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 58.58, and freshman Ben Morris placed sixth in the 100-yard butterfly at 53.12. All

of these times were new school records.

The team's success was about more than the State team, however. This year, the boys experienced their largest team ever with over 35 swimmers participating. Together, they took the title as City Champions for the second consecutive year and finished the season with a perfect record.

Throughout the season, the boys team had a trait that made them stand out from the rest: togetherness.

"The best part about our team was the friendships that were made, and the closeness of the team. Coming together as a group and everyone supporting one another every step of the way is what made our team so awesome," said junior Drew Linder.

With close ties to the girls team, everyone put in effort to keep old traditions alive while also making new ones. These ranged from having the girls bleach the boys' hair, the all-guys sleepover, getting pedicures and hanging out almost every weekend.

"We are all each others' best friends despite who we swim for outside of the season, and I feel like that gives us a bond that other teams don't have," said senior Noah Burke.

LADY HAW·KS WIN FIRST STATE TITLE

There ' s a new swim tradition at Southwest victory! The girls dominated their competition all season with a combination of enormous talent , unparalleled dedication and endless team spirit. Everything from the countless practice sets to the early morning weight training led to the team ' s first State title.

The girls' performance at State was nothing short of amazing with five first place finishes in all three relays as well as the 200-yard IM and 100-yard breaststroke. The 200-yard free relay consisting of Olivia Calegan, Dannie Dilsaver , Emma Vertin and Aimee Fischer went 1:35.73 and the 400-yard free relay consisting of Dannie Dilsaver , Abby Lunzmann , Aimee Fischer and Sophia Nelson went 3: 32.84 , beating previous school records while finishing first.

Eight of 11 school records were broken by the girls this year as well as one State and one Heartland Athletic Conference record shattered by freshman Dannie Dilsaver.

However , wasn 't specific swimmers that got the team to where they wanted to be. It was all the little things that built the team with swim sisters , sleep overs , team shorts , bleaching the guys ' hair , team shirts and all-girl hangouts. This team started strong and finished even stronger and closer than before .

" I wouldn 't trade the past four years of swimming at Southwest for anything. I will always remember the early morning practices , the dance parties in the locker room and all of the team hangouts, " said senior Sophia Nelson. " I have met some of the greatest people because of swimming. "

The entire team worked countless hours before and after school, in and out of the pool, to reach their goals by the end of the season. They were even able to capture their first Heartland Athletic Conference title and continued their streak as City Champions along the way. The State team consisted of 13 girls and the Conference team included over 20

"Winning the State meet just shows how hard we have worked for it the whole season, " said freshman Olivia Calegan. " Everybody was a part of the team ' s success. "

The seniors of the team couldn 't have asked for a better way to end their high school career.

" Ending senior year by getting to jump into the water with my coaches after we had won the State t itle and broken school history is a memory I will cherish forever, " said Nelson.

no backing down HAWKS COME TOGETHER AS ONE FAMILY

With hard work and determination, Freshman, Reserv e, and Junior Varsity completed the season with many memories.

Although the Hawks had tough schedules, they did not let their records define them. The teams practiced harder and continued to work together. This season became more about the players growing as individuals rather than their records.

"I think our record fails to show how good of a team we are. This group of players has a great chance of being something special in the future, " said Freshman Coach Marco Pedroza.

Despite, a 5-7 record, many of the players said they had tons of funny memories, both with their teammates and coaches.

"One funny story was when Bryce Zimmeman's pants fell down in the middle of the game," said freshman Carter Siedel.

Not only did the teams have laughs, they also had serious moments together.

"We came together as a squad when Carter's mom was diagnosed with cancer, and we got a win against Southeast for her," said freshman Bryce Zimmerman.

The Freshman team also talked to Pedroza about letting their Student Manager, D'Andre Brown, play with them after all the hard work he put in throughout

the season. Brown ended up playing in their last game against Southeast and scored a basket with a minute left. The Hawks won, 37-27

The Reserve team finished 3-10. Their first win was against Papillion LaVista. They faced many obstacles during that game Assistant Coach Chris Turley got a technical foul and some spectators were ejected. Down by 15 points, the team came back to win in overtime.

That wasn ' t the only game where the team was hot.

"The Lincoln High game, we came out on fire We hit nine three pointers in the game and got to the free throw line 33 times. The kids executed the game plan the whole game ," said Coach Ben Lynch.

The Junior Varsity team ended their season 5-16. They made it to the semi finals of the City Championship , but lost to Lincoln East.

" I enjoyed seeing my improvement and others improve, " said junior Connor Raatz.

Off the court , the team also had team dinners and went to Nebraska basketball games together.

All three teams were not defined by their records. Throughout the season, they grew as individuals and as teams. Overall , the Hawks ' seasons became a learning exper ience about themselves.

DON ~T STOP THE HAWKS

After a rough start to the season with three losses, junior Davis Peterson helped the Hawks by scoring 19 points to defeat Bellevue East.

The Hawks went into a slump and lost the next seven games Despite the losses, they came ready to play against Millard North. Senior Avery Prai scored a total of 17 points that game while senior Griffin Thomas scored 15.

Throughout the year, the team had other wins including victories over Grand Island and Northeast.

"This group of guys has been very resilient as the season went on. We had to build experience early and now we are learning how to win," said Coach Duane Baack.

Many of the players on this year's team were

previous JV players. As the season progressed, the players continued to play hard. Many of the games ended with close scores.

Senior Jonathan Freese enjoyed the season because it felt like they were "becoming a family." The boys had many bonding moments, like team dinners and going to a Minnesota Timberwolves NBA game.

"We try to have as much fun as we can. One day at practice we all played soccer together," said senior David Kaltenberger.

Overall the team went 4-19. The Hawks season came to an end losing to Omaha Central in a District game, 52-37.

HAWKS END WITH WINNING RECORDS

Freshman, Reserve and JV Girls Basketball had excellent seasons: All three teams finished out the year with winning records.

Having a record of 9-3, the Freshman team showed that our school has a bright future and upcoming star players.

The Reserve team had a record of 10-3 and was runner-up in the City Championship against Northeast after a triple overtime loss.

When it came to the famous Southeast/Southwest rivalry, the Freshman team beat LSE 41-33 and the Reserve team won, 32-29.

"My goal was for us, as a team, to work really hard and have fun in games. I wanted to leave the season a better player and have a good team record," said junior Keely Anderson, who played on JV.

JV's close win of 43-41 over North Star helped

them to a record of 14- 7.

"From the start it was a great season. We had an amazing group of girls who all worked hard as a team. They put in every ounce of effort they had to help our team to a winning record, I'm so proud," said JV Coach Nicole Kubik.

Win or lose, team bonding was extremely important to each team this season.

"My favorite memories are all of the bus rides, especially after a team win," said sophomore Maddie Dodd.

"I enjoyed all the inside jokes with the team," said freshman Tessah Clarence.

From close call wins to the bus rides home, this season was one the players will never forget.

"Many memories were made that I will cherish for a lifetime," Kubik said.

HAWKS WORK TO REBUILD

With only two returning starters and a schedule full of teams in the top 10, the Girls Varsity Basketball team had an uphill battle to fight.

"Ove.r half of the girls on our team had never been on Varsity before. Because there were so many new players, we had to create a new dynamic. It was really just a new beginning," said senior McKenna Dodd, one of the returners.

The challenge of finding a rhythm proved to be no problem for the girls.

One of the Hawks' biggest wins was against Norfolk. The game went into double overtime, with four starters fouling out. The Hawks came through with a 72-68 win.

Another major win was against the school's biggest rival. After losing to Southeast in the HAC Tournamnet, the Hawks got their revenge in a regular season game. The Hawks were down by 17 at half-time, but pulled through with a huge come back ending the game with a 37-31 victory.

The Hawks proved themselves on the court to be a strong threat to their opponents. The Hawks finished the season with a record of 1510.

Not only did the team create a strong bond on the court, they shared a special connection off of it too. One of the team's favorite memories was singing karaoke on their bus ride to Norfolk.

"My best memory was playing "heads up" on the bus. I love everyone on my team, and I wouldn't trade them for anything," said sophomore Taylor Els.

The team also spent many nights together bonding over food at team dinners.

"This season has been different from the past because everyone on the team was willing to work hard for each other, and everyone was willing to do what was best for the team and not be individuals," said senior Marysa Wilkinson.

HAWKS COMPETE AS A FAMILY

"We wrestle for each other, like a family," said junior Jackson Knorr.

Throughout the season, team members worked as a team, displaying hard work and dedication. Head coach Aaron Finley pushed each and every wrestler to their full potential.

"Finley is able to motivate the team when we are broken down. He also expects the best out of us, no exceptions," junior Preston Schulte said.

Finley ' s high expectations helped motivate the team to achieve their goals, many being to qualify for State. Ten out of 14 wrestlers qualified for State this year.

Freshman Dillon Holsteen stepped up for his team when junior Conrad Harker's season ended due to injury. In order to help his team gain team points to qualify for State Duals, Holsteen - only weighing 195 pounds - agreed to take on the challenge of wrestling in the 285 pound weight

class.

"I was proud Finley asked me to help the team, and I was ready to gain a 'few' pounds ," Holsteen said. "When I qualified for State, coach Finley literally jumped into my arms."

This season wasn 't only about the team's record, but also wrestling for more than v ictories. For Senior Night, the team participated in "Takedown for the Troops" to raise money for the Disabled War Veterans. They won the dual against Southeast and raised over $3,000.

For the seniors and the entire team, this year ended on a positive note and helped build character.

"I have improved so much in the four years I have been here at LSW, and I am very proud of my career," said Senior T J Burbach.

Being a cheerleader isn 't just about making signs and doing kicks ; it ' s about boosting school spirit. From football to basketball , home and away , the cheerleaders are always there to pump up students and to support Southwest players.

" My favorite thing about high school Cheer is cheering on all of my friends and classmates at sporting events, " said freshman Hannah Davis.

This year the Varsity Cheer squad joined forces with SFF to help decorate the school for football games. Every week the cheerleaders decorated Southwest hallways according to the theme for the game.

The Varsity Cheer squad was also in charge of choosing the theme of the annual Homecoming

dance. This year ' s theme was "Wild Wild Southwest."

A tradition that all cheerleaders look forward to is attending camp. This year the teams traveled to Okoboji , Iowa for the UCA Cheer Camp in June.

Throughout the year the Vars ity, JV , Reserve and Freshman Cheer squads practiced for a competition in Council Bluffs, Iowa against other high school cheer squads. The Varsity and Reserve squads took third place , JV earned second place and the Freshman squad received the first place award in their division.

Members of the Varsity squad , along with members from Freshman , Reserve , and JV squads , competed at State in Grand Island and received third place

EMERALDS DANCE HARD ALL SEASON

A large part of being an Emerald was, of course, dancing. However, there was a lot more to being on the LSW Dance team than just dancing. The Emeralds were required to choreograph all of their dances, plan events (such as the Emeralds car wash and Dancing with the Emeralds), attend LSW Varsity sporting events, dance and cheer at all pep rallies and promote school spirit at all times.

The Emeralds participated in the second annual "Dancing with the Emeralds" event that took place in the fall. The girls paired up with a male partner and

performed a duet with their partner competing for first place and other unique awards. This year, senior Taylor Boesiger won the first place prize , senior Kelsey Hillman snagged the award for "most entertaining" and junior Liza Piccoli won the award for best choreography.

The Emeralds took their dance called, "I'm Legit," to State Dance on Feb. 22 where they competed in the hiphop and jazz categories. They placed fourth in jazz and seventh in the hip-hop category.

TRIATHLON. Senior Rebekah

Whittle has been participating in triathlons for three years now.

Whittle won the 2013 Regionals for her age group last summer. "My favorite part about triathlons is that it's three sports wrapped up in one race, but that ' s also one of the hardest parts because you're training for three different sports and trying to master all of them," said Whittle. Whittle is excited to continue triathlons at Colorado State next year, as it was just passed to be an NCAA sport in the Fall of 2014.

BUILDING SUCCESS IN ENGLISH •

Beginning all the way back in kindergarten, we learned to read, write and use grammar. English is necessary for all aspects of life.

With over 16 teachers in the department and numerous classes to choose from, English classes were all over Southwest.

While most English classes were required, there were optional ones that students chose to take. From freshman to junior year, most students took the required classes, then senior year there was room for more flexibility.

Senior Makaria Kirianov took Shakespeare this year, which concentrated on reading and analyzing Shakespeare writing.

"I enjoyed Shakespeare. I believe there are many interesting classes that Southwest offers," Kirianov said.

Senior Alyssa Richtarik also took Shake-

speare along with Fanasty Literature this year.

"I took Shakespeare because I had never read Shakespeare before, but I took Fanasty Literature because I love fanasty books."

Unlike other subjects, there were many aspects of English that contributed to the overall class. English classes incorporated writing, reading, grammar and sometimes, public speaking.

"My least favorite part of English is talking in front of the class, because I am shy," freshman Coral Schmeichel said.

Sophomore year, students focused on poetry as one of their units. Students spent many hours and wrote various poems each week. At the end of this unit they did a poetry slam against a few students from each English class.

CORRECT CALCULATIONS APPLIED IN MATH

In order to graduate, every student must have 30 credits of mathematics. This year, there were many options to complete those credits.

Overall there were 11 classes that were taught by 13 different teachers. Out of the 11 classes, five were weighted. Many of the weighted classes also had an AP test students could take in order to get college credits. A majority

of teachers recommended that students took as many mathematics courses as they could during high school.

Teachers applied new ways to teach math with technology. Many used the ELMOS and iPads to futher explain their lessons. Students also gained access to teachers' lessons and sample problems through their websites.

"With so much technology in today's society, it is important for people to be able to problem solve. Mathematics classes will help students become better problem solvers," Geometry and Calculus teacher Mr. Jeff Devries said.

In class, teachers also tried to find projects to relate their lessons to everyday life. In Mrs. Tiffany Powers' Advanced Algebra class students had a linear programming project. This project helped students learn how to make financial decisions to maximize their profit.

Now, with so much technology in life, math is becoming more important. Students at LSW took advantage of the knowledge they could gain from their high school math classes.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Algebra is a course that is required for graduation. It lasts two terms and is also offered in middle school.

Geometry is a graduation requirement. It deals with shapes and proof formulas. Geometry can also be taken as a differentiated or plus class depending on the learning speed of a student.

Advanced Algebra goes more in depth about what students learn in Algebra. This class is recommended by most colleges and students must take Geometry before enrolling into it. It is also a graduation requirement.

AP Statistics is a college level class. Students can get college credits by dual enrolling or taking the AP test. AP Statistics deals with data graphically and numerically.

Pre-College Math goes more in-depth than College Algebra would. It also covers an Intro to College Trigonometry and Statistics. In order to enroll in this class students must com.:. plete Advanced Algebra with a "C" or higher.

Pre-Calculus is a combination of an intro to both College Trigonometry and Algebra.

AP Calculus has the same syllabus as the Calculus course at UNL. Students can get college credit through many different ways such as SCC dual enrollment or taking the AP exam.

THE INTERESTING WORLD OF SCIENCE

With so many classes to choose from, Silver Hawks discovered science in many forms.

Freshmen could choose from Physical Science or Geoscience, learning everything from velocity and Newton's Law to studying planets and what they're made of.

"I really like studying rocks and oceanography. I also like going to class because Mr. Monroe cracks a lot of jokes, and I like the environment of the classroom," said senior Austin O'Brien, who took Geoscience.

After Physical Science and Geoscience, students moved on to take Biology. A big part of this class was the 'Alive and Satisfied' project. Students were able to choose an animal of their choice, study its living conditions and share their projects with an elementary school classroom. Students also got to learn about ecology and genetics.

The next step in science for students was Chemistry. They did a lot of experiments, learned about how a periodic table works and also learned about the different elements.

For junior Margaret Gies, Chemistry was one of her least favorite classes.

"Chemistry is okay; the only thing I like in Chemistry is my teacher, Mr. Geist," Gies said. "I plan on -taking Physics next year."

After Chemistry, students had a wider selection of science classes to choose from. Some classes offered were Environmental Studies, Zoology, Physics, Astronomy, Intro to Health Occupations, Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology and Genetics.

"What I liked the most about Environmental Studies was when we went kayaking and when we did projects with solar energy," said senior Elizabeth Peterson.

Senior Sheena Nakagawa chose to take Genetics.

"I really liked when we got to learn a lot about diseases and DNA. We also got to learn more about statistics and bioethics which was my favorite part of class," Nakagawa said.

From shooting off rockets in Astronomy to modeling muscles on a "maniken" in Anatomy and Physiology, students had a wide range of opportunities when it came to expanding their knowledge in the field of science.

STUDENTS .UNCOVER HISTORICAL TRUTHS

Through daily note taking and nightly reading assignments , the students in Social Studies classes learned about everything from the building of the United States Government to the collapse of the Roman Empire.

These classes were quite unlike others in the way they were taught as well as the curriculum that they followed.

In order to show how a government works, Mr. Dennis Hershberger' s Civics class elected a government modeled after our own U.S. Government , including a Senate and a President.

In AP World History classes , students analyzed copies of documents , including letters by Cortez the Conquistador and excerpts from a book written by Chr istopher Columbus.

"The documents teach you a lot and help people with the DBQs ," sophomore Keegan Walker said.

DBQ ' s or Documen t Based Essay Questions were a rather difficult part of the tests that were designed to help prepare students for college. In these tests , students had to write a short essay tying various historical documents of a given prompt together in order to make connections between different sources

Social ·Studies teachers liked to put humor and games into the courses to help capture the attention of the students.

Mr. Thomas Nettleton liked to play the Ule game with his students (a fast-paced mind game) In Dr. Ted Lar-

son ' s AP World History class , he showed videos pertaining to the lesson and made the class answer questions afterward.

While the teachers tried to keep classes happy and upbeat , sometimes the topics they covered were a bit grim.

Holocaust History discussed the terrible atrocities that occurred during and shortly before World War II.

"The most interesting thing I learned about in class was The Black Death, " said sophomore Tyler Shada, who took World History.

One of the things that students realized while taking Social Studies c lasses was that they were a part of a greater historical world.

" I liked learning about how amazing the world was before I was born ," said Sophomore Jordan Pollack.

Some students organized study groups to catch up in class. Others read the book in advance to get an advantage. The reading and homework were not always fun , but they helped students who did them regularly.

Despite the daunting challenge of these classes, students were able to rise to the occasion and open their minds to the world of knowledge spread before them.

BRINGING CULTURES TO CLASSROO~S

Southwest's Language department provided more than just translations of different languages. Not only did students learn foreign languages, they also learned about the unique cultures of the countries where the languages were spoken.

The Southwest language classes provided a variety of languages such as Spanish, French, German and Japanese. Each language had different levels of classes for students including: Japanese 1-4, French 1-4, Spanish 1-4, Advanced Placement Spanish, Conversational Spanish and German 1-4.

Senior Samantha Fruh took advantage of the variety of classes provided at Southwest by taking both German and Japanese all four years.

"I wanted to learn both of the languages because I have friends in Japan and Germany, and I would love to be able to speak to them in their languages," said Fruh. "Language classes are important because not only can they expand your horizons, but they can also help people in the job industry and help them get employed in the future."

Language classes were very different in comparison to

other classes Southwest provided throughout the year. They exposed students to the lives and lang uages of people outside of the United States.

Teachers used various techniques to bring cultures to the classrooms. Celebrating foreign holidays, eating foriegn food, reading foreign books and playing foreign games were all ways students became immersed in new cultures.

Some language classes had food days so they could get a taste of the foreign culture's food. Mrs. Nila Jacobson's AP Spanish class had a "food day" every Friday, and the students experienced making the food themselves.

No matter which language class students took, they were able to learn the language and get a better understanding of where it originated from.

"Language classes expose students to new cultures and experiences to give them a better understanding of where the language comes from and how it is used," said German teacher Mr. Finley.

HAWKS COLOR OUTS IDE THE LINES

Learning to express yourself is a big part of growing up. One way students expressed themselves in a unique way was through art. At Southwest there were a variety of art classes available for students to partake in. Whether it be pottery, drawing, painting or even making jewelry , everyone at Southwest had the opportunity to be creative in and out of the classroom.

Senior Griffin Day found a way to incorporate art into his life. He started out taking a variety of photography classes at Southwest and went with it from there.

"After taking classes at school I realized that I had a knack for photography so my Junior year I bought a Nikon 05100 and just began shooting."

Day began his photography career by taking pictures of himself so he could get the hang of it before bringing his skills to the public. He then started taking senior pictures for some of his fellow classmates and has even taken some family photos.

"I love photography because I love giving people something that they can look back on and so they can see themselves being happy. "

One of the most popular class options at Southwest this year was pottery. There were three different pottery classes available for students to take: Beginning Pottery , Pottery Tech-

niques and Pottery Styles.

In Beginning Pottery, students had a stricter schedule , starting off with constructing a small pinch pot and then working up to more advanced projects such as a slab box. Pottery Techniques is a class for people that want to continue working on their skills but still need a little guidance. Pottery Styles had a much more relaxed curriculum. Students enrolled in Pottery Styles were allowed to make types of projects that interested . them.

Sophomore Bailey Morris took Beginning Photography this year and fell in love with the art.

"My favorite project was the still life project FOCUS.

because it was fun to experiment with the lights

and it was a hands on experience." Morris said.

Morris plans to take more photography classes at Southwest in the future.

"There really is a class for everyone," said senior Katelynn Charrion. "My favorite art class was Pottery Techniques because I made a slam mold plate and I put an anchor and a sailor wheel on it. I just really like how it turned out. "

Art became a creative outlet for many students at Southwest. There was no limit to what the Hawks could create.

LEARNING BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL TECH

Students walked down the hallway at Southwest knowing they would be able to smell the fresh wood being cut from the machines in Industrial Technology.

Whether you want to be a carpenter when you grow up or you just need technology credits to graduate high school, students had many reasons for taking business and industrial technology classes.

"I took Digital Media because I like working with computers," junior Trae Koziol said.

Unlike Koziol, senior Schyler Johnson said she took Digital Media because she needed technology credits to graduate.

In different Industrial Technology classes students could build anything from a table to a full-size bed.

"My favorite part of Furniture Construction Design was when I started to build my coffee table," sophomore Victor Linchenko said.

These classes helped students increase handeye coordination and gain more knowledge in the world of woodworking.

Freshmen who were interested in taking Industrial Technology classes were required to take Intro to Woodworking. Sophomores, juniors and seniors were allowed to take intermediate and advanced classes.

In advanced classes students were allowed to build whatever their imaginations allowed.

However, there were times when student projects could also be overwhelming.

"The worst part of Industrial Technology classes was that it was easy to mess up," senior Jared Dickey said.

In the area of business, classes ranged anywhere from Computer Apps to Keyboarding to Accounting. These classes taught certain skills that students needed to know to get them on the right path to choosing a career.

One big change to the business curriculum this year was the addition of the Take Charge class. Instead of taking Career Education sophomore year, students were required to enroll in Take Charge their junior year. This class taught' students life skills for when they become adults.

Another important class in the technology department was Keyboarding. Keyboarding taught various typing skills and basic document formatting.

Freshman year, students took Computer Applications in order to earn technology credits. Computer Applications taught students how to use Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. Business and Industrial Tech were among the most important classes in high school because they taught students skills that they could use in the real world and for the rest of their lives.

PE A~D FCS CLASSES PROVIDED FUTURE PREPARATIO~

The majority of the students in Culinary classes not only learned how to cook but also had fun while doing it.

"I took Culinary Skills because I needed an applied art credit. It sounded like fun and I really enjoy it," said senior Nathan Duff.

Creative clothing was another FCS class that was offered where students were able to make clothing and handbags throughout the term.

" I took Creative Clothing because I'm looking to go into buying and selling clothes and I've always enjoyed creating my own clothes, " senior Amy Keys said.

One benefit of FCS and P.E. classes were the team skills they taught to students. While students took Culinary Skills , they worked in a group to make their food. As for P E. classes, students worked together to learn the rules and regulations of the games they played.

Other classes like Human Behavior showed students

ohow to work within relationships. These classes helped prepare students for family life and building future relationships. Some human behavior classes included Relationships and Families and Crisis.

"In Families and Crisis we take the time to talk about all the terrible, unimaginable things that families could face ," said FCS teacher Mrs.Tracy Way.

Students were also required to take a health class. Freshman year , most students took Fitness for Life where students learned about nutrition and had hands on activities in the gym.

Classes covered a broad spectrum of cateogories. Together they helped students prepare for their futures and provided a course on how to live a healthy life and form healthy relationships.

NEW FACES BRING NEW CHANGES

At Southwest, the offices are the backbone of this establishment. Whether it's the safety of our school or the health of each student and staff member, each office contributes to r:nake sure each day runs smoothly.

There were new faces in many of the offices this year. In the Main Office, we gained a new Principal, Mr. Hugh McDermott. McDermott was the principal at Irving Middle School prior to coming to Southwest. We also gained another member of the Salem family as Mrs. Sarah Salem filled the open Associate Principal position. Former Social Studies teacher Mr. Travis Brady also joined Administration with the title of Testing Coordinator.

In the Athletic Office, we gained Mr. Mark Armstrong as our new Activities and Athletics Director. Armstrong ended an 18 year position at Kearney High School prior to coming to Southwest.

This year, social media made a big impact on the offices. The Athletic Office made good use of it by live tweeting a majority of our athletic events. The tweets provided students and parents with an update on how our student athletes were doing at events they weren't able to attend.

The Athletic Office wasn't the only office to break into social media this year. The school itself made its Twitter debut on Jan. 3rd. Not only did we have a Twitter account, but Facebook page as well. Both accounts shared pictures, as well as informed students, parents and staff members on what was going on here at LSW. Whether it was new faces we saw around school or new images found on social media, the changes that were made are sure to bring success in the years to come at Southwest.

STUDENTS SEEK HELP FROM SOUTHWEST RESOURCES

As student$ walked through the doors of Southwest they found themselves surrounded by numerous resources.

From the Media Center to the Counseling Center , students were exposed to helpful hands and handy tools.

These resources helped students with studying, research, college guidance and planning for the future. Resources also made students lives easier and more functional.

The Media Center provided useful resources for all students, whether they were in need of a computer to type up a research paper, help finding a good book to read or looking for a place to just hangout.

"We love to have students come in and spend time here in the Media Center," school librarian Ms. Laurie Logsdon said.

Many students found the Media Center resourceful when they had pass blocks and stacks of homework to do.

Senior Letura ldigima had a pass block for her fourth block during first term and spent her free time in the Media Center.

"I think the Media Center is the best place to get work done. I have to pick up my little brother after school, so it's convenient to stop in the Library during my pass block to get my homework done before I pick him up and go home," ldigma said.

The Counseling Center provided more than just schedules and schedule changes. They gave college guidance to all students and also provided personal and social support for those who needed it.

"I'd say we are resourceful because we give students information on post high school options," counselor Mr. Tim Ernst said.

E-Learning is another resource that provided classes online for students. Some students prefered using online classes over the typical classroom experience.

"E-Learning gives you a chance to work at your own pace," junior Jalen Roundtree said.

All of these resources provided to students throughout the year gave them support, useful tools, a learning experience and guidance for the future.

SPEE.CH AND DEBATE TOP THE CHARTS

Southwest Speech and Debate had a successful season this year. Whether it was competing within the state or traveling to California and Minnesota for tournaments, Southwest Forensics once again performed at its nationally acclaimed level.

The Southwest Speech team won nine tournament championships throughout the season while Debate received second place thrice in the season, as well as a sweepstakes award.

After Speech won the District Team Championship, 13 students qualified for the State Tournament. At State Debate, Southwest was represented among six state finalists in various events.

Speech and Debate displayed their efforts and growth throughout the season. Although many competitions brought tension among the teammates, they agreed that the season was worthwhile.

"Getting up early can be difficult but it's definitely worth it," said senior Robin Sarik.

The Forensics season consisted of more than tournaments and competitions this year. Aside from the successes, the most memorable part of the sea-

son was the friendships formed and the memories shared between the teams.

"Getting to know the novices and becoming closer as a team was my favorite part of speech this year," said senior Erin Lukin.

Along with bonding, the success of the teams brought them closer to their coaches, Matt and Toni Heimes.

"I will miss my coach Mr. Heimes the most. He has definitely been the most influential individual in my life. His work ethic is amongst the top in this building and yet he remains the most humble, said senior Justin Wiley

To fund their ventures both statewide and nationally, Southwest Forensics hosted a triathlon, along with various fundraisers throughout the year to cover the expenses of one of Southwest's largest teams.

Overall, being involved in Forensics at Southwest proved to be a rewarding accomplishment; it was an outstanding season.

HAWKS MARCH TO A GREAT SEASON

From getting a two at their first competition to getting another two at State, the Silver Hawk Marching Band accomplished a lot this season.

While State was a big accomplishment to many, it was a big disappointment to others.

"State was one of our best performances; however, we still got a two which was heart breaking," said sophomore Qismat Niazi.

The Marching Band kicked off their season with summer practices. This helped them to reach their full potential. They also practiced at 7:15 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday mornings when school started. All of this led to a successful season.

"My least favorite part about Marching Band is the practices. They're awful, but they really helped us," said sophomore Paige Young.

Marching Band had a great year overall and created some memories that will last a lifetime.

"The most memorable thing that happened this season was right after we marched at the State competition. Getting ready to take our picture, our band director came over to us and told us that no matter what the judges said, he knew that was the best we ever marched in a show," said senior Kylie Haseloh.

Traditions during the year kept the Marching Band together as a team.

"Each section has their own tradition. Since I'm a trumpet I usually partake in the trumpets chant 'Grandma's House,"' said senior Connor Blankenau. Story/Spread by Nicole Hoffman

no vocas HAWKS PLAY ~us,c WITH DEDICATION

Instrumental music plays a big role at Southwest. From in Lincoln all the way to London, Band and Orchestra accomplished quite a lot this year.

Back in December, some of our Hawks made their way across the ocean to London, England. The music department travelled to participate and perform in the New Year's Day Parade. The Marching Band marched in the parade while others performed at other various venues.

For many, the trip was one of the most memorable events Band and Orchestra were involved in this year.

Along with the trip to London, the LSW Band and Orchestra organized a concert for each term. Each concert had pieces performed by Orchestra, Freshman Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble along with concerts for the Jazz bands. Members of Band, Jazz Band and Orchestra all got to showcase their talents in each of the quarterly concerts.

To many of the students, the music program was not only a fantasic hobby, but a large part of their lives.

"It's amazing. I love music and enjoy band very much. The people and teachers are like a family," said sophomore Wyatt Jorgensen.

Along with that close-knit feeling of being a part of the Southwest music team came traditions and other little habits.

"Every summer, band camp is a lot of fun. There's a tradition of dressing up on different themed days. Some of my favorites included Pirates vs. Ninjas Day, Superhero Day, and of course, Switch Day," said freshman Elizabeth Gao.

Band camp wasn't the only time members of the music program dressed up together.

"The first week of school, we dressed up with our sections and the band. It was really fun for everyone," said freshman Bradyn Dose.

Members of Band and Orchestra all worked hard and had fun bonding and preparing for concerts and events this year. Overall, it was a great year for the instrumental music team at Southwest.

HAWKS HfT ALL THE HfGH NOTES

Here at Southwest some of the most talked about activities are those that took place in the infamous "E-Wing". Whether it was the upcoming choir concert or the new song Resonance was working on, there was always something to talk about.

Students at Southwest had a variety of options to choose from when it came to vocal music. Freshmen were required to start their music education in Freshmen Choir. From there, students were placed in JV Concert, Chamber or Varsity Concert Choir. Female students also had the option of auditioning for the Women's Choir.

All choirs practiced their material during the school day. Music students typically had a "skinny" schedule which placed them in music for a half block and a core class for the other half of the block. This allowed them to meet their required course load as well as participate in choir.

Students could also audition for one of two show choirs. Ambience, Southwest's Prep Show Choir, met during Block 1 while the Varsity Show Choir group , Resonance, met during Block 3. Both groups also had mandatory practice after school every Tuesday.

Show Choir season kicked off in January. They

have a tradition of making an appearance at Midwest Cup, UNL's Show Choir Competition held at the Lied Center in downtown Lincoln. Ambience brought home a runner up trophy while Resonance came home sixth. The Westside Competition of Excellence at Millard West High School in Omaha was also a success. Ambience placed first in the Prep Division and Resonance placed third and received awards for best ballad and best costumes.

In February, Southwest hosted the 8th Annual Southwest Showdown. They hosted 19 groups of performers from all over the Midwest. While Resonance and Ambience were not allowed to compete, each group performed at the awards presentation.

Both teams also traveled to Urbandale, Iowa in February to compete in the Urbandale Show Choir Invitational. Resonance placed fifth overall.

In March, both groups, along with Varsity Concert Choir and Chamber Choir , finished off their season with a first time performance in the National FAME Competition in Chicago where Resonance brought home first place and a bid to Nationals.

Regardless of the choir they participated in, Southwest Silver Hawks knew how to belt it out.

Dream jobs of today's sophomores

"Probably a psychologist or something else in the psychology field. I find how people act and think interesting."

-Kaitlyn Wilson

"My dream job would be a graphic designer or an artist. It's really enjoyable and it would allow me to be creative."

- Lauren Bowman

"I'm not sure what job I'd like to have when I'm older, I just hope that it's something I enjoy . Good pay would be a definite bonus though."

-Taylor Pursley

TRANS fTION ING

Sophomore year is full of transitions: no longer a newbie to high school, the process of learning to drive and some people are even starting new jobs. Being a teenager, the choices for work are mostly limited. But if you could pick any job in the world, what would it be?

"I'd like to be a published author because I really enjoy writing."

-Lucy Horne

"Something in the medical field that has to do with technology. Mainly because I think it'd be cool to help people."

thank you!

The Talon Staff used Adobe lnDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 to edit each spread and photo. Theme fonts included AWPCAvantGuard, AWPCMineru and AWPCHelvetica.

Unfortunately, the Talon Staff could not include the outcome of spring sports and other year-end events due to deadline restrictions. However, some of those events can be found in the 16-page supplement in the back of the book.

Our staff would also like to thank everyone who helped make this yearbook possible. We would especially like to thank our Walsworth representatives, Mike Diffenderfer and Michelle Brosemer, for helping us make our yearbook the best it could be. We would also like to thank our administration for taking the time to help us edit each and every page in the book.

Although we wish we could have captured every Southwest event on our cameras , we were unable to do so. Therefore, we would also like to give a special thank you to Ron Batterton, Lori Mescher and Rob Wilkins, as well as everyone else that submitted photos for our use.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU: Our biggest gratification goes to our adviser, Miss Brandi Benson. This was Miss Benson ' s first year as a yearbook/newspaper adviser as well as a teacher. Benson did an outstanding job keeping all of us in line as well as editing our spreads and helping produce our best annual yet. The one thing that made this year special was, not only producing an outstanding yearbook, but also having an adviser be one of our friends. Whether it was yearbook related or not, Benson provided us with support and someone to talk to, and for that we cannot thank her enough!

Thanks again to everyone who made this publication possible!

Yours truly, Talon Staff 2014

a little note

As a first-year adviser , I could not have been more honored to \ rk with the staff members that I did this year. This yearbook was tru ly eated for our students by our students. This year ' s Talon Staff was incr e ( ly "TALON-ted" in all aspects of journalism and knowledge of what it )k to create a solid yearbook.

Our staff consisted of 18 students representing over 1,800 stu d , 200 staff members in our school. While we initially started with ed it each section, the yearbook became a group effort with each pers o ing and contributing. This group was nothing shy of amazing , and proud of the publication they produced. I have been so lucky to w e such an exceptional group of individuals , and I cannot say enoug h the time and effort these students put into this publication.

I would like to thank all of our yearbook staff this year, and I w o 1 like to give recognition to Molly Meister, who was our cover desig n I could not have asked for a better first year as a publications a This year ' s staff made my job look easy They created something ' one to look back on for years to come.

These students were a unique group that helped to make my fir one that I will never fo'rget. From Kaylyn revealing her email nam e "Walla Walla Bing Bang" to the disgusted look on everyone's fac e f they were handed back a spread covered with red edit marks tha t "No do better," this group took things in stride and worked harde r their spreads stronger

Whether I was telling Jessi to stop stealing post-it notes or wat c Molly's face drop as I told her we had to realphabetize senior ads , was one that I will never forget.

It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of LSW this y e hope that we have created a book that makes you all feel the sa mE
