This issue is one of our last of the 2020-21 school year, and we’re focusing a lot on moving into the future.

We take a look at how clubs and sports are starting up (with adjustments) this spring, answer some COVID vaccine FAQs, and give some advice on how to have a productive summer with classes both online and at school.

There’s also a look ahead at what to watch on June 22nd- English teacher Sandy Olive will be appearing on Jeopardy with guest host Savannah Guthrie- and one look back, at LHS’s drive-in prom/senior event on April 22nd.

I also want to take a second to note that this will be my last issue as Pilot EIC. I’ve had a great two years with two incredible staffs, and I’m very excited to pass the torch to Elaine Ottens for the 67th volume of the Pilot. All of us on staff wish everyone good luck in the last few weeks of school and a great summer!

This is also the Pilot’s last issue to ever be published from Room 129, which will soon be demolished as part of the ongoing construction of the new LHS.

The Prom

An Inside Look at the Most Memorable Night Elaine Ottens Junior Editor

It has been said for years that prom is a senior’s most memorable high school experience. Thanks to precautions for COVID-19, however, the night was much different, for better or for worse. Now a movie at the Skyview Drive-in, Prom 2021 changed the game.

A photo of the Skyview drive-in from local NPR affiliate KBIA. Students at Lindbergh’s drive-in event watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, pictured on the sign.

On March 10, prom director Joshua Piontek (English Department) sent out a survey to all seniors asking for their opinion on what kind of prom they wished to have out of the options given to them. While the students had to keep in mind there would be no food and masks were required, they were given the option to go to a drive-in movie theater or have a field prom. Seniors were not to be discouraged by these limits, however.

“Kids are allowed to bring their own food, they’re allowed to get food from the concession stand and have their own kind of dinner at the event, but just instead of there being a dance, there’s going to be a movie and that’s going to be the event; but there is still going to be a prom court and all that fun stuff,” Piontek said.

This wasn’t an easy decision for Piontek, either. Not only were his options limited, he had to take it up to the administration for the safest choice, and also had to make sure the seniors were not to be disappointed.

“It was really, really hard, like it was a really, really hard decision. I’ve been doing prom for probably like seven years, eight years maybe, even, and I’ve organized it, I’ve run it and everything. Cancelling it last year was really, really hard; I was really sad and upset, and cancelling it and pushing it back and pushing back, and this year, I just knew that I wanted- that we wanted to do something for the senior class, since so much has been taken away from them, you know?” Piontek said.

People reminisce on last year’s prom, and how the upperclassmen were disappointed at the loss of their senior prom. Lindbergh alumna Sarah Moehlmann (Class of 2020) puts in how she remembers feeling at that time.

“I was really upset because I spent so much money on a dress and wanted to have this memory of my senior year that everyone has, but I got over it very quickly,” she said.

This year, many feared the same thing would happen to them, or that the prom wouldn’t be as special as they were hoping it would be.

“I have a feeling that this prom is going to be fine but not nearly the same effect as a normal prom and there’s going to be a lot of restrictions,” Joe Hayes (12) said.

Their disappointment was not ignored by Piontek as he planned the event.

“I know that there are students out there who are disappointed, that it is not at the Union Station, that it is not a big thing, that it is not the whole kind of major event that they had kind of been imagining or picturing or thinking about. I think the biggest obstacle is really just kind of getting the message out there that this can still be a great time and can be a great thing, and make memories…

I think it’s going to be a lot of fun, it’s just going to look different than it has in the past, but I’m really optimistic about the whole thing. I think it’s going to be great,” Piontek said.

Some students were optimistic about the change of plans, despite initial negative feelings.

“Yes. I am very upset. I didn’t get to go last year because of COVID, and since it’s a drive in, I feel awkward wearing a big prom dress. So, it won’t feel normal whatsoever. I think it’ll be a fun night for seniors though. I feel like Lindbergh is doing all they can to make it a perfect night!” Autumn Smith (12) said.

Senior students stated that they were unsure of going to the prom because it didn’t seem too intriguing.

Knowing this, Piontek stated where he stood before the event.

“I’m a firm believer that anything can be fun as long as you have the right attitude. If you go into something thinking it’s going to be awful, it’s going to be awful. If you go into something thinking it’s going to be great, it’s going to be great,” Piontek said.

WHO IS SANDY OLIVE? LHS teacher to appear on Jeopardy Abigail Wagner

S

Editor-in-Chief

andy Olive (English Department) and Jeopardy go way back.

“When I was in high school, I would go home from school and call a friend of mine, Meg, and we would play against each other over the phone,” Olive said. Today she’s back at a high school, working out of a closet-size library tech room doubling as a classroom- she’s an ARC-only English teacher who just recently returned to campus.

At some point, the phone games ended, and Olive began trying to become a real competitor. When she first became an avid watcher, Jeopardy only auditioned during one three-day window each year. The preliminary test was offered at a different time each day to accommodate different schedules. In more recent years, the show has moved to making the test available online at all times, offering trivia aficionados unlimited opportunities to try out.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve taken that test,” Olive said. She’s qualified for the next step of the process, in-person regional auditions, two times. For the first, she traveled to Kansas City for two rounds of trials, starting with a written test taken in a hotel ballroom.

“If you pass, they keep you there, and if you fail, they send you home. So you traveled all this way just to take a test and then leave,” she said.

This year, COVID drastically changed the process. Olive took the written test over Zoom, and was invited to stay for the second round of auditions, a mock game of Jeopardy. Contestants were expected to hold up pens throughout the game, and click them if they wanted to “ring in” and offer an answer. After Feature that round of auditions, casting decisions are made.

“I got a text from one of the producers saying he wanted to discuss my application with me. And when we spoke on the phone, he told me I was going to be on the show. I actually told him ‘No I’m not,’” Olive recalls.

In most cases, Olive would have had a chance of not appearing on the show. Before the pandemic, Jeopardy invited both contestants and alternates to Los Angeles for the taping, but COVID has forced them to take all of their alternates from Southern California to prevent unnecessary airline travel.

Olive was informed in late February that she would finally be appearing on Jeopardy, with her taping date coincidentally falling over Lindbergh’s spring break. She studied with a tool familiar to most LHS students- quizlet.com flashcards.

“I used some world capital flashcards, because I knew that was my big weakness. And then, of course, there were no world capital questions while I was on the show, but I studied a lot for that part because I knew that it was something if I got any question at all, I would be likely to get it wrong,” she remembers.

Soon enough, Olive was traveling to L.A. for the taping. That, too, was changed by the pandemic.

She had to be tested for the virus using a rapid PCR test on the day she left, and again with the same type of test once arriving at in California after a long flight.

“The cheapest flight was through American, and on the way there I flew from St. Louis to Charlotte and then all the way across the country to L.A. because that was just the cheapest flight,” Olive said.

Jeopardy does not cover any of contestants’ travel or housing expenses, except for airfare if they are the champion and need to return for the next week’s taping. Olive paid for an AirBnB close to the studio, and for her tickets to and from Los Angeles.

Filming for a week of Jeopardy episodes occurs all in one tightly-scheduled day. Olive and her fellow contestants arrived at the studio at 7 a.m., and waited in the parking garage for some time.

“It’s hard to know what the difference is between COVID times and normal times. That may just be the way they do it to save money all the time, or this may have just been like, ‘COVID time, we want to keep you outside,’” she said.

Once all the contestants arrived, Jeopardy officials took them inside for a lecture about the process and what to expect during gameplay. They also revealed the name of the host for that weekJeopardy is using interim hosts after Alex Trebek, the show’s host for 37 years, died of pancreatic cancer in

November 2020.

After the lecture, the contestants rehearsed a game of Jeopardy in order to practice using the buzzer.

“They basically played through one entire episode, switching people out periodically. So some of us only did the very beginning of the show, most people did the middle, and then one group did the end,” Olive said.

As soon as the rehearsal was over, filming began. Olive describes the process as “very rigorous and above-board”, with a lawyer present to ensure the game is fair. That lawyer picks two numbers which correspond to contestants out of a hat, and those contestants compete against the previous week’s champion. Olive was chosen for the second game of the day, so her episode will air on a Tuesday.

Olive went in to her competition without a strategy, but quickly developed one as the questions began.

“I decided I wasn’t going to ring in unless I knew the answer for real. A lot of times, people ring in and guess, and then they lose money, and they lose confidence. It’s easy to just backslide into freaking out, because you’re in the negative, and you’re losing Jeopardy, and oh my gosh,” she said.

Olive can’t reveal the outcome of her episode, which will air June 22nd, but she can say that her experience on the show was a positive one.

“It was just so surreal and bizarre that I actually got to be there. I got to be on the stage. I got to be in the studio, and watching how it all happens, and just being able to experience this thing that I’ve worked toward. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do forever, and just being able to live that out, I think that was the best part,” she said.

Looking back on her years of work, her drastically changed audition process, and the opportunity she had to finally achieve a lifelong goal, Olive credits her Jeopardy appearance to a combination of hard work and chance.

“I think that if you really want something, you have to keeping working toward it at every opportunity. A lot of life is luck. And you have to be ready for luck to happen,” she said.

SAFE SPORTS How LHS is playing games this spring

Audrey Branding Spring sports are one of the most important parts of the school year for lots of students, athletes and coaches across the country. Spring sports give students and teachers a break from school and give everyone a chance to enjoy playing their favorite sport or activity.

In fall 2020, many states, including Missouri, and counties, including St. Louis County, decided to shut down youth sports due to the risk of close contact that comes along with most school sports. Due to the low amount of adults vaccinated at the time and the high cases across the country, Sam Page, the St. Louis county executive, decided to put numerous restrictions in place for fall sports, including no competitions and a maximum of 30 athletes allowed at practices.

According to KMOV, Page said, “The positive rate between 15 and 19 years old is near 20%, whereas all other age groups the rate is near 6%.” This news caused a huge uproar by students, athletes, coaches and parents.

According KMOV, a parent of a high school student said, “He had a hard time getting out of bed this morning and all of his friends did. They were all texting before their feet hit the floor and the wind was just knocked out of their sails.”

This was the reaction of many athletes and parents that heard the hard news.

Many things have changed since fall 2020.

For example, lots of teachers and parents have gotten vaccinated. In February, Sam Page announced some new changes to the restrictions for youth sports and adult sports. According to KSDK, Page said, “Tournaments can return for both adult and youth sport leagues, however there will still be restrictions on the limit of people in one place at a time and interacting with people.”

This is a huge change compared to last fall.

However, the county’s COVID-19 restrictions still mandates masks for the fans and if the competition or practice is inside, the players must wear masks as well. There is also a limit placed on the number of spectators at games.

Spring sports officially began in late March. But as of March 15th, Lindbergh announced they would follow current Covid-19 guidelines, meaning spectators returned to game. Other guidelines being followed included masks being worn at all times, social distancing requirements and only two family members allowed per athlete for indoor games and competition.

Students have had to adjust to the new regulations, but appreciate the opportunity to play.

quarantined and they couldn’t play for a bit, which wasn’t the best. Also, for inside practices we have to wear masks and that is not fun because it gets very hot. It is good that we have unlimited crowds, though. Overall, this soccer season would obviously be better without COVID-19, but I still think it is very fun and we are making the most of it,” Cecilia Schwartz (9) said.

Lindbergh High School teams are also allowed to travel to different schools for tournaments as long as they follow that county’s COVID-19 guidelines.

“Like most sports and activities, COVID- 19 has affected the way we approach our sport. Golf is unique since there is very little contact among players and teammates and no sharing of equipment is allowed during matches. The few changes that have affected golf are: Leaving the flagstick in when putting, no trading scorecards at the beginning of a tournament or match, no signing of scorecards at the conclusion of an event, and replacing masks at the end of the event,” Mike Tyler (Golf Coach) said.

Regarding the post season tournaments, Lindbergh will make decisions when the time comes so they can pay attention to the number of cases and amount of athletes and students quarantined at the time.

According to the MSHSAA, “We have contacted the Missouri Health Department and at this time, there are no restrictions or requirements to stop activities with large groups of people. We are developing contingency plans for the possible effects of school closures on the state playoffs, your spring sport practices and/or contests, and are monitoring COVID-19 developments closely.”

This is important because the MSHSAA regulates Missouri high schools’ ability to hold sporting events and play spring sports.

The CDC said regarding school sports in spring of 2021, “Schools should continue to collaborate, share information, and review plans with local health officials to help protect the whole school community, including those with special health needs.”

Despite changes, Lindbergh’s coaches and athletes are excited to return to somewhat normal play.

“Last spring was terrible for everyone to miss the entire season, and it is a good feeling to see all of them in action this spring. It has not been ideal and it’s far from normal, but being involved in something is an important part of high school especially this year. [I’m] happy to see our kids get to compete!” Scott Luczak (Athletic Director) said.

Summer School Make the most out of summer 2021

Mallory Broom Fourth quarter has nearly every student eying the clock until summer vacation, with a variety of goals, plans and expectations. Many students are excited to move on and leave this past school year behind.

“This year was so weird. But hopefully this summer will be better.” Lauren Bond (10) said.

Lauren plans on working as a lifeguard and relaxing in her spare time once school is out. Since she has already gotten the credits she needs during previous summers, she can make the most out of her schedule for the following school year.

“I went to Grandview and got my gym, health, and PFM credit all online. We were traveling a bit last summer, so it was easier to do Grandview and have my counselor transfer the credits over at the end rather than having to physically attend summer school at Lindbergh which a few of my other friends did,” Bond said.

For more information on taking online classes outside of Lindbergh, use this link to register before July 5th, 2021.

A student can sign up for up to two credit’s worth of classes for one summer and the final deadline for all work is July 23rd, leaving them with some extra time to enjoy the rest of break. However, keep in mind that the classes aren’t pass or fail grades: students choosing Grandview’s program will get a letter grade just like in normal classes. While online classes for Grandview will start June 1st one can start their classes anytime after that date. Students can sign up to gain new credits or for credit recovery if needed. The program is completely free, can be done at an individualized pace, and without leaving the house. Some students may choose to complete the courses they’ve chosen in a short span of a few weeks, while others may prefer to listen to the recommended due dates and pacing model their teacher provides.

But if students are looking to gain their summer credits from Lindbergh High School directly, they still have plenty of options! At Lindbergh, summer school will be from June 14th to July 22nd from Monday to Thursday.

Registrations for this summer are open starting March 8th through this Google form.

“Many students and families are convinced that you have to take summer classes to fit all of your graduation requirements in, but that is not true! Summer school gives our students an opportunity to catch up or get ahead on credits,” Benjamin Smith (Counseling Department) said.

Staff Writer

Every class will be held in-person, except for Driver’s Ed, which students can take online. If a student takes two classes, their school day will be from 7:45am1:15pm, but if students only take one class they will be at LHS from 10:00am to 1:15 pm. For anyone who doesn’t want to take their summer classes in-person, but still wants them to be through Lindbergh, online Personal Finance, P.E and Health are also available to sign up for.

“Before my first year at Lindbergh, I went to school during the summer to get my P.E credit, so I had room for electives I wanted, like orchestra. I was worried about getting lost since the school was so big, but at the end of the summer I knew my way around the school and was glad I had gotten my credit out of the way. But it takes up a lot of your summer and requires that time in order to pass the class,” Sydney Studer (10) added.

Regardless of whether or not students enroll in an online course, most students will have to work on their required English homework, which is accessible using this link, and which can be found in the chart below. A lot has changed this year in the summer reading requirements.

“It’s pretty much ‘read what you want’ except for the upper-level AP classes,” Matthew Griner (English Department Chair) said.

Take Your Shot: A COVID Vaccine Q&A I’m concerned about vaccine safety.

Abigail Wagner

I’ve had COVID. Should I get the shot?

Yes. Re-infection has happened, although it’s rare. If you currently are quarantining because you’ve tested positive for the virus, the CDC says you should wait to get the shot until your symptoms subside.

This vaccine got created really fast. Is it safe?

Yes. The vaccine was able to be created so quickly because the technology for it already existed.

(Ask a biology teacher about mRNA vaccines if you’re interested!) Each of the companies that created the vaccine went through the normal phases of vaccine development and safety trials, just more quickly. More than 100 million Americans have already received at least one dose of the vaccine. With all these doses administered, only .0005 percent of people have developed severe negative side effects, according to the CDC.

I heard people died after getting the vaccine. Should that concern me?

You may have heard that 2,794 people have died after receiving the COVID vaccine. The CDC has reviewed information in each of these cases and determined that vaccination was not a contributing factor in any of the deaths. These people died after receiving the vaccine, but medical evidence suggests that the shot was not what caused their deaths.

Will I have side effects after getting the vaccine?

According to the CDC, you may experience some minor side effects, especially after your second shot. These can include a headache, muscle aches, fever, chills, and fatigue- common symptoms of COVID-19, but much less severe. These side effects are a good sign, and show that your immune system is learning how to fight COVID. If you experience these symptoms, the CDC says it’s OK to take Tylenol to help deal with them. You should recover within 1-2 days.

Editor-in-Chief

Do I really need the COVID vaccine?

Why do high schoolers specifically need to be told about the COVID vaccine?

There’s no data on high schoolers’ opinions on the vaccine, but according to a March poll from STAT-Harris, members of Gen Z are fairly unlikely to get the shot. This poll found that 21% of Gen Z does not ever plan to get vaccinated against the virus, and another 34% said they would “wait a while and see” before taking the shot.

Will the vaccine protect me from COVID? And why should I care about that?

Yes. The vaccine will definitely protect you from COVID. The Pfizer vaccine, which is the only one most high schoolers are eligible for, is 91.3% effective against illness, and 100% effective against serious illness, according to the company’s website. It’s true that young people rarely get severe cases of COVID-19, but it has happened. Even cases that don’t require hospitalization can cause high fevers, loss of taste and smell, and a strong cough.

I’m still not too concerned about getting sick. Are there any other reasons to get the shot?

Yes. Even if you’re not worried about getting COVID yourself, the shot will help you protect the people around you who are more vulnerable to severe illness. That could include your parents, grandparents, and friends with pre-existing health concerns. And the more people who get the vaccine, the closer society gets to a level of immunity that will allow us to return to normal life- including LHS events like school dances, pep assemblies, concerts, and sporting events.

Should I get the vaccine if I know someone more vulnerable who hasn’t yet?

Yes. You’ll be helping to protect them and everyone else around you. If you can find a vaccine appointment and schedule it, think of your dose as one that might not have helped anybody if you didn’t take it, since unused doses of some brands have to be thrown away if they have been taken out of the freezer.

Where can I get my shot?

I’m over 16, but under 18.

Am I eligible for a vaccine?

Can I even get vaccinated? I thought the shot was only available for older people.

Yes, younger people can now be vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine has been available to anyone 16 and up in Missouri since April 9th, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

I’m not 18 yet. Can I get vaccinated?

Yes, with your parent or guardian’s permission, if you’re 16 or older. Anyone 16 and up is eligible to take the Pfizer vaccine. You’ll have to make sure that this is the vaccine being offered where you choose to take your shot- not the Moderna brand.

I’m not 16 yet. Will I be able to be vaccinated before I turn 16?

Opinion May

Probably yes, also with the Pfizer vaccine. Pfizer recently completed its trials on adolescents ages 12-15, and filed for approval with the FDA. According to NBC News, the vaccine actually protected this group better than adults, with none of the kids in the trial contracting COVID after the vaccine, compared to about 5% of vaccinated adults.

You can sign up for any community events offering the Pfizer vaccine, since that’s the only one you’re eligible for. You can also search at local pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. These vaccine opportunities will allow you to make sure you’re receiving the Pfizer vaccine. Your parent or guardian will need to help you make your appointment.

I’m 18.

You can go anywhere 16-year-olds can to find a vaccine, along with any community events offering the Moderna vaccine. As long as you have access to your medical information, you can schedule your own appointment.

How much does the vaccine cost?

The vaccine is completely free to everyone, whether or not you’re insured.

Continuing Clubs Kendall Conboy Staff Writer

The 2020-2021 school year has been a difficult year for clubs and organizations around the high school.

Whether that be due to the reduced number of students in the building because of the ARC program or social distancing protocols, clubs have continued to organize and in some circumstances, gather safely.

Recruitment for most clubs, especially amongst underclassmen, starts at the beginning of the school year early in August. This year was especially unique with the high school starting first semester in an all virtual format.

“In a non-pandemic situation, we have a club/sports/ activity fair during [freshman] orientation. We also provide the freshmen with a list of clubs/organizations/sports along with their contact information. The activity fair is especially effective because the freshmen get to meet students who are in the clubs and discuss the activities the clubs are involved in,” Karen Kershaw (Math Department), sponsor of Link Crew said. Kershaw mentioned that the hardest part of being the sponsor of Link Crew during this challenging Covid-19 school year was that no typical freshman orientation was held.

Rezek also said that CHADS has begun to meet in person again in Phase 1, and had recently just hosted their first drive-in movie as a replacement for their annual Destress Day to adjust to the Covid-19 guidelines.

Other clubs, like Future Business Leaders of America, also have had to adjust to Covid guidelines, but have had a successful year nonetheless. For the sponsor of FBLA, Judy Girard (Business Department), one of the most difficult parts of sponsoring FBLA this year was the lack of recruitment.

“We could not reach as many students as we normally do through freshman orientation, selling or promoting during the lunch periods, after school meetings, curriculum night & recruiting events,” Girard said.

The club has had biweekly Monday morning Zoom meetings with officers to update and brainstorm about upcoming meetings, service projects, and social gatherings.

“Quarterly socials were the most different- our social VP’s had to really think outside the box. They were held on Friday nights with 20 plus members joining us on Zoom to hang out,” Girard said.

“We planned for a normal FBLA has had to come up with orientation. Then we planned for a creative ways to continue to prepare modified in person orientation with students for successful careers in business social distancing. We did provide tours by hosting speakers via Zoom, as well to freshmen as we headed to phase 2, as fun social events including trivia and but it was just a tour.
