This past weekend, Lakeside proudly sent multiple solo and group musical performances to compete at the WSMA State Solo-Ensemble Festival, hosted by UW Whitewater. The students who received a starred first rating on their performance at the Capitol Conference Solo-Ensemble Festival in Lodi back in February were blessed with the opportunity to execute their songs once again in a more critiqued and advanced setting. With a total of nine separate ensembles and solos from Lakeside performing at state, six of those received a first place rating while the remaining three received seconds. Performing a piano trio along with Moriah Hackbarth and Megan Rowoldt, Junior Maddie Dumke commented, “It’s always a privilege to play at state; it’s cool to see all the different kinds of musical talent there is.” When asked about their performance and second place rating, Maddie replied, “We played the best we could. It takes some work to keep all three of us in sync and pull it off.” This year the only section from the Lakeside band to advance on to state was the percussion section, performing an upbeat, tribal song. Those competing at WSMA State not only included musicians, but excellent singers as well. Seniors Tori Lober and Courtney Dorn both received firsts in their vocal performances, which display the same competitive level as instrumental acts. Although not as many of the school’s students and groups made it to the state competition this year as compared to last year, quite a few musicians and singers were still able to display their diverse musical talents. All the hard work students put towards furthering their abilities seems worth it when granted such an opportunity.

Lights, music, action! Last Friday and Saturday it was time, once again, for the Lakeside drama department to stage their annual theatrical production. The past several years have included such gems as “Icehouse Madrigals”, “My Fair Lady”, and “The Hound of the Baskervilles”. This year, however, with new directors and a new target audience, the production lightened up considerably with the interactive fairy tale, “The Clumsy Custard Horror Show”. With Jordan Gaal as the dashing, dancing hero, and Lea Parker as the lovely lady in distress, audience members of all ages followed the cast through
a fantastical tale of Worfles, Ice cream Clones, and hungry Turkey-spiders. Also a new twist, this year’s production directly involved the audience with such exercises as producing sound effects, rescuing our brave hero from certain doom, and casting one lucky young lady each performance as Jordan’s spited ex-girlfriend. Much fun was had by all, and audience participants earned prizes for their troubles: free scoops of un-clumsy custard from the Culver’s in Johnson Creek. With gratuitous participation from the tech club, student parents, makeup artists, and stage crew, the production was met with laughter
and merriment from theatergoers of all ages, a great success and large feather in the cap of all involved. Ty Mahnke, who played the evil prime minister, Malforce, commented, “As a first-time performer, it’s been difficult, but a wonderful time,” and fouryear senior Beth Grunewald, the equally sinister nursemaid Alphasia, “It was the greatest experience of my senior year. I got to talk to people I normally wouldn’t talk to, and I loved hearing people’s reactions.” At the end of the weekend, the entire cast and crew were exhausted but satisfied with a job well done.

Lakeside is filled to the brim with talented athletes, amazing musicians, accomplished speakers,and brilliant scholars. Among all of these successful individuals are another group of especially creative Lakeside students: the artists. This school has many students who express their creativity through some very amazing art. This past weekend guests and students of Lakeside had a chance to view the artwork of the senior art students. The senior art students also had the chance to display the artwork they have been working on for the past four years. The Senior Art Show featured everything from oil paintings, to pottery, to photography. The artists truly showed how talented they are through the amazing artwork that was displayed. Senior Mallory Reimer comments about her own artwork, “I started getting into art when I started at Lakeside and took my first real art class. Since then I’ve discovered that watercolor is my fa-

As a highschool student, life seems impossible. Goals seem unreachable, and success seems unattainable. It seems that everything we do fails. Why? “It’s like the world is working against me.” This is a line that mostly everyone has uttered at some point. Well, guess what? It is. The world is, in fact, working against all of us. The world is filled with sin, greed, and every sinful desire. Because of this, the devil creates evil within all of out plans and goals. As said in Jeremiah 29:11, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you, and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.’” So the only reason why things ever go wrong, is if our trust and heart is not fully in the LORD. We do not trust that God will make us succeed, so we turn to worldly help, which is most often filled with sin. The devil tells us that things are right, but what he tells us only hurts us. Often what God wants us to do, seems like the more difficult option, but we have to trust that he only wants good for us. God is never going to put something in our life only to hurt us. Why then, should we wonder why things go wrong? Things would never go wrong if we were trusting that the LORD has a plan for us. If we commit all that we have and all of our life to the LORD and his path, all of our plans will succeed. Success comes from the LORD God, and Him only. No where else can we find true happiness, success, or well-being.
