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.
