Making friends, saving souls
yearbook editor
Maria Manteufel
Every year a student receives a yearbook. Most students look at it and remember the memories that happened over the year and others do not care. The yearbook is a great way to preserve all of the different memories that students experience over the years. But most people do not realize what goes on behind the scenes to create the yearbook. Creating the yearbook is a hard and long process. The editors have to sit down and come up with a general idea for the theme of the yearbook. Past themes have included clichés and following the path. This year’s theme is still a well-kept secret. After a theme is picked the cover is designed and the editors have to decide which groups get which pages. Then the yearbook editors must recruit people who want to design pages for the yearbook. These people sign up for pages that they want to design. Deadlines start to approach almost immediately at the beginning of the school year. If some of the deadlines for the yearbook are not met there can be problems. People have to get their pages done on time. The editors have to make sure that everyone gets their pages done on time. Once everything is done the yearbook is sent to be published and printed. Yearbook can be hard work but it is all worth it in the end. mantemr4@llhs.org

“Friends of China” (FOC) is a Christian missionary organization in China. Members travel over to China to teach in the schools and serve pastors for them-but this is not the only mission work these volunteers do. Most of the teachers do not even teach in private schools, in fact, there is only one “Friends of China run school in China. The rest of the teachers teach in public schools and do not teach about God and His saving word. The Chinese government does not like mission work and anything having to do with God, so they prohibit Christianity. “Friend’s of China holds many church services in the homes and apartments of the pastors.
The few church buildings in China are only allowed because the government has control over them and therefore does not worry about them. The one “Friends of China” private school, in Shanghai, is under the radar. The school does not look like a school, it appears more to be a business complex. People can talk about God on the streets, just not around policeman or other government officials. They also must be careful not to push religious words in emails, so the members use codes such as writing “prayers” as “sreyarp” or “church” as “ch_rch” to avoid government detection. One might ask, “If they cannot teach about God or use advertisements of any kind, then how do
they do mission work?” The answer is, by making friendships. One of the FOC pamphlets says on the front, “Building eternal friendships in China,” because that is exactly what they do. Members of “Friends of China” meet people, become friends with them, and then invite them to a Bible study. After they attend the Bible study, the members invite them to another study or even church. Soon enough, the Chinese residents are getting baptized and calling themselves Children of God. Then these new Christians start to talk to their other friends and invite them to studies and outreach events, like KTV (a karaoke night hosted by “Friends of China”). draegma5@llhs.org
Fans: the homefield advantage staff reporter
David Luehring
What is a fan? Is it the man who paints his face green and spikes his hair. Or is it the man who runs around the block screaming after his team wins the championship. Fandom comes in many shapes and sizes. Soccer fans in Europe may be the biggest and craziest. They have big groups called “ultra.” The “ultra” are so extreme, that many games end in brawls between mega fan sections. The rowdy nature of an “ultra” cannot be matched by anything in the USA. The closest American relative of the “ultra” is the student sections of college basketball. Student sections are the homefield advantage. Raucous fans load the bleachers in an attempt to
When I went to visit my sister in China over Christmas break, I went to two church services, one Bible study, and a karaoke night. The “Friends of China” program had many more people attend the karaoke than expected, which was awesome to see! All of the “Friends of China” teachers managed to receive many phone numbers and later arranged some dinner dates with some of the local Chinese residents. I talked to a guy at the karaoke night named James. He said that he loves going to church and talking about God. He also said that the Gospel message makes his heart warm. I also got to see the Shanghai pastor’s adopted daughter, Katrina, get confirmed. She started crying because she was so happy. These were very uplifting events that I will never forget. Along with strengthening the faith of the Chinese it also strengthened my faith. The faith of the new Christians in China is so strong and these people truly value their faith. It really made me realize how much we, as people who have grown up with God’s Word, take it for granted.

Lakeside fans show their spirit fill the opponent with fear and instill confidence in their team. According to fannation.com, it works. Only 34% of road teams win in D-1 college basketball. In a winter sport season filled with prosperity. Lakeside Lutheran basketball teams have a combined 25 wins and two losses going into the week. Both teams are ranked in the top ten
with “jumbo heads.” in Wisconsin Sports Network. On top of that the Lakeside Dance team on its way to State. In great times it is easy to be a fan. As the postseason approaches the Lakeside fan section is called upon to give Lakeside Lutheran teams the home field advantage.

The problem with communication Girl vs Guy Locker editorial staff
Adam Poyner
M
ost students, and really all young people nowadays, have cell phones. These handy devices make communication easy and fast. Whether it is via text, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or any of the numerous other social media apps and sites, teens are always talking on the go. Yet all this instant technological communication may have its downside. A Lakeside mother and business owner stated, “Young people do not know how to communicate face-to-face and are losing that important aspect of life.” When looking for a job at the high school level, good communication skills and an outgoing personality make a person more likely to be hired because these are important aspects of professional customer service. This is also true in social situations. Whether it be at a party, on a first date, a first day of a new job or any other potentially awkward encounter, one does not want to be that person standing alone in the corner, texting his or her friend.

Not unlike most student, Nora Stake and Adam Poyner would rather text than talk. However, texting does have its good qualities. It is much easier and more convenient to text in public than talk on the phone, and it is much less annoying than leaving voicemails. A Lakeside junior voiced, “In a school like Lakeside where we live all over, texting is a great way to communicate.” Texting someone who is sitting right next to you is
one of the biggest indicators of cell phone addiction: if one is that socially inept, it may be time for an intervention. Students should be grateful to reap the benefits of quick and easy messaging to stay connected to friends. But one should also be wary of the consequences of too much texting and focus on improving one’s social and communication skills.
“Make him pay for the whole meal, if we have one.” “Let him meet my father, who has a gun collection.”

Reality television shows lower viewing standards around the world

O
ver the past decade reality shows have become an invasive species appearing on every TV channel known to man. They have taken the form of everything, from game show competitions to people who make duck calls, and to an obnoxious little toddler who competes in beauty pageants and likes to “redneckoginize” everything. No talent is needed for a reality show either. All that is needed is are camera, fame-hungry people desperate to be on TV, drama that is real or not real, and a TV network crazy enough to air the show, and Ta-Da! A hit reality show. What gets these shows so much popularity? How can these people become famous for doing absolutely nothing? Take the Kardashians for example. Did anyone care what they did before they got a reality show? What did they do before they got a reality show? It does not help when big news broadcasters talk about these shows or praise the people just because they are on TV, whether or not they are doing the right thing. But here is the real question: Why? Why watch this stuff? Are people’s lives so boring that they need these things for entertainment? Maybe some like watching this

stuff because it makes them feel better about themselves. Watching people whose lives are train wrecks could be a way of saying, “My life is better compared to theirs.” Not all reality shows are amazingly bad. Some game shows with trivia questions are good for the mind. Not all people on TV are fame hungry. Some people just really like making duck calls, or making fashion, or singing in front of an audience; even the walls of Lakeside can testify to that. Maybe instead of getting rid of all reality shows, the TV corpora-
tions could limit how many there are. They could bring back more TV shows with original writing and good acting. Not only that, but the TV corporations should make shows that are of a good quality and that are appropriate for all ages in a family. Those people on reality shows only have 15 minutes of fame. It will only be a matter of time before someone else comes along and takes their place on a new reality television show. photo courtesy of popmatters.com

Meriel Christian has and will always have the heart of an athlete, especially that of a dancer. This year, as captain of the dance team, she is leading her team to the state championship. Meriel’s dance career originated from her thriving gymnastics background, and took off when she started dancing for Lakeside as the only freshman on the team. She has been captain of the dance team for three years and is the only dancer with seven seasons of Lakeside dance under her belt. Every song heard during performances can be accredited to Meriel for her skill of arranging music. Much of the team’s outstanding choreography is thanks to her handiwork. Outside of dance, Meriel loves managing the baseball team, spending time with her family, and expressing herself through art.

Mackenzie Traver Dance. What does one think of when you hear the word? Some people think of a school dance, or having fun dancing with a friend. When dancers hear this word they think of learning a new routine in three days, sweating, being sore, costumes, and drilling a routine until it is perfect, and most of all, they think of the competitions they work for all year. They have had three competitions and have one more. The dance team had regionals last Saturday at Watertown High School. Many teams there competing in all different sections and divisions. A team could perform two sec-
tions so the two routines would either be pom, jazz, hip hop, or kick. The Lakeside dancers performing their competition jazz and pom. Lakeside got third in pom beating out five teams. Lakeside will be going to be going to La Crosse in their competition pom routine this Saturday. This will be their second time going to State. The last time the dance team went to State would be when Meriel Christian, one of the captains, was a freshmen on the team and the assistant coach Amy Ziegler was a senior. They will be performing at 9:44 a.m. and they hope to see everyone there supporting and cheering them on.
Lady Warriors conquer Columbus
The Winter Olympics this year will be held in Sochi, Russia. In this year’s Olympics the United States hockey team has announced, to no one’s surprise, that it will be going for the gold. Back in Vancouver, in 2010, the game was almost guaranteed to the U.S. until the hockey puck was shot through a players legs into the home team’s goal, giving Canada the gold medal. The U.S. is back now to avenge its close game in Vancouver four years ago. The XXII Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia will begin on Friday, February 7th and end on Sunday, February 23rd.

Gavin Loescher Last Thursday, the Warrior wrestlers hosted Lake Mills, earning a win on the season with a final team score of 49-30. Thursday night was Senior Night for the wrestlers and all three of the seniors took home wins: Gavin Loescher (138) with a pin in 4:58, Andrew Graumann (170) with a bye, and James Beeson (195) with a bye. The rest of the matches were majority byes from Clark Thiele (120), Brandon Swenson (220), Dalton Egli (285). Of the five matches wrestled, the Warriors won three of them: Kyle Burger over Peyton Littaritz 8-6 (126), Gavin Loescher (138), and Isaac Birch over Alana
@llwarriortimes
Quackenbush 13-2 (160). After the win, junior Dalton Egli said, “Anytime you can beat a rival, it’s a great thing, and the locker room after was insane!” On Friday the Warriors hosted Cambridge. Unfortunately, the wrestlers were not able to keep a winning streak going. Cambridge won 60-18. Clark Thiele won by decision over Noah Jacobson 15-7 (120), Gavin Loescher pinned Casey Griesmer in 3:26 (138), Brandon Swenson won by decision over Miguel Mares 6-4 (220), and Dalton Egli received a bye (285). Tonight the Warriors will go to Marshall, and tomorrow the varsity will be at the Deerfield Invitational.

Sam Anthon scores against Columbus in a monumental win. sports reporter
Sydney Cody The Lady Warriors continued their season with a big win at Columbus on Saturday, January 25th. It’s a pretty big deal to win in Columbus’s gym. It was also a little more difficult with the weird routine and afternoon game but the team came together and pulled out another win. The Lady Warriors continued to push the desired pace of the game so the Cardinals could not keep up. Many players contributed to the success of the team. Whether it was passing, good defense, or scoring, it
was a team effort. The first quarter was full of good defense and some shots that would not fall, but a continuous pace up and down the floor was evident. The second quarter was full of intensity and the pace could still be seen. After halftime, the Warriors went on a run and were playing good solid basketball. The fourth quarter was the shot to finish the game and put the Cardinals away to continue the Warriors’ winning record. The Lady Warriors play their next game tonight at Luther Prep in Watertown.

You asked
what? I have absolutely no money, what do I do now? If a student is short on funds it may be time to look into a part-time job. If a job is out of the question someone can always look for some yard work to do for neighbor that may result in payment.

Someone going out to dinner with his friends might find himself short of cash to pay. Never fear though! One simple word can solve anyone’s money problems: mooch. Just borrow from friends!

Dr. Ryan Stone is on her first space shuttle mission as an engineer. Her commander in chief is the veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky. When they were on a normal spacewalk, things went terribly wrong. Debris went flying at horrific speeds toward their shuttle, completely destroying it. Dr. Stone was on the end of the shuttle when the debris hit, and was stuck to it, not able to get to safety. Ryan was whipped into space attached to part of the shuttle. After the debris was gone, it was discovered that her and Matt were the only two survivors. Once Matt had safely secured Ryan, he tried to think up a plan to get back to earth. This plan involved getting to a different space station and using one of their escape crafts to get home. It was not an easy task trying to get there though. To make time pass though, they told each other stories, and come to find out, Ryan was a mom. She had a daughter that had died when she hit her head. Matt knew that he had to get her home safely so that she could live on with her life. This summary is of the movie Gravity. This movie was awarded best motion picture of the year. If I would have to rank this movie out of 5, I would give it a 4.5. Gravity was a great movie, but it did have one scene that would not be appropriate for younger kids.
