Do not worry

Recently a number of Lakeside students participated in the annual American Mathematics Competiton. The competition consisted of a test taken by the individual students administered here at the school. Todd Hackbarth, math teacher and coach headed the competition here. Students who received high enough scores advance on to the next level competition. Unfortunately no Lakeside students advanced further, but a few students received some high scores. In grades 11 and 12, Micah Torgerson and Nora Raube tied for highest in their grades, each having a score of 79.5 out of 150. The second highest students out of these grades was Hannah Tracy with a score of 73.5. The top three scores in this group make up the grades 11 and 12 team score which was 232.5. In grades 9 and 10, Eli Lipasti had the highest score, reaching 85.5, while Josh Higgins came in second with a score of 66. Colton Hatcher took third with a score of 61.5. The team score for the lower grades was 213. Overall every student taking the test scored an average of 54.7 in the upper grades while the lower grades scored an average of 45.

This past Saturday, a large number of students from Lakeside congregated at Lodi High School to participate in a variety musical events ranging from clarinet duets to brass choirs to Lakeside’s own Swing Choir and Jazz Band in the annual Wisconsin State Music Association Festival. While all of the band and piano students are required to participate in at least one event, many prefer to enter two or more various categories and enjoy themselves immensely.
The majority of Lakeside contestants did well on their events, with final awards of firsts and seconds, but in keeping with the consensus that the judges were much stricter than in past years, only five events made it past this first level of competition to go on to state. The final medal count for the school, excluding the piano competition held at LPS, is five state-bound starred firsts, six first-place class A events, ten second-place class A, twelve first-place class B, two second-place class B, six first-place class C, and one second-place class
Forensics continues to district staff reporter
Adam Poyner
Monday afternoon, the forensics team travelled to Johnson Creek to compete in the sub-district meet. The meet was originally scheduled for last Monday, but was cancelled due to bad weather. Participants in the sub-district meet do not compete against each other as in normal invitationals, but instead perform in order to advance to the district level and eventually the state level. While there were no ribbons or medals awarded at this meet, three members of the team received perfect scores in all three rounds. These speakers were Sarah Hochmuth in Storytelling, Kaitlyn Sage in Far-
rago, and Jordan Gaal in Special Occasion. Four speakers received perfect scores in two out of three rounds. These speakers were Amanda Kehl in Public Address, Adam Poyner in Moments in History, Becca Doering in Solo Acting Humorous, and Mallory Reimer in Prose. In the past four years the Forensics team has advanced 99 out of 100 participants to the State level. Lakeside is one out of only four schools to accomplish this feat. All twenty five team members will advance to the district meet this year at DeForest on March 3, 2014. The next step after district is the state meet at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
C, with a grand total of 155 medals to be awarded to all participants. Those talented musicians who are headed off to the state competition include the Percussion Ensemble, Hannah Varney with her marimba solo, and Courtney Dorn’s vocal solo, as well as two other entries. The state competition will be held on Saturday, April 26 at UW Whitewater, individual sites and performance times still to be announced, and all Lakeside students are encouraged to come and cheer on their classmates as they go for the gold.
Do you worry? Can you tell if your worry is just concern, or if it is a bad type of worry? Here are some things that could tell you which one it is: Do you always think about the worst possible outcome when an idea pops into your head? Does your mind sometimes panic? Do you remember striking memories of everything that went wrong in your past? Do you remember all of the bad things that happen to your friends? If you think about any of these things, you do not have to anymore. Jesus said to His friends, “Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life” (Matthew 6:25). Jesus reassures us that His Father, and our Heavenly Father, knows all of our needs. He will provide them all at the right time. With that being said, you can relax and stop worrying! If God takes care of the animals in his creation and even the plants, how much more will he take care of someone with a soul?
Google advance internet to fiber fast speeds staff reporter
Colton Hatcher
The Internet is a great tool and source of entertainment, but slow Internet speeds can be very frustrating. How great would it be if web pages would load in milliseconds, large file downloads would be almost instantaneous, and crisp high-definition video could be streamed without any buffering! Google has released a service that does just that, called Google Fiber, with speeds about 100 times faster than the average Internet speed. To make this service even better, Google also provides over 200 live TV channels, all for roughly the same price as a current TV and Internet provider. They can make these speeds a reality through the use of fiber optic cables to transmit

data, as compared to the current technology which uses a cable to transmit information, as well as some more fancy-pants patented Google stuff. Now of course, everyone would want to sign up for this service, but there is one minor catch. As of right now, Fiber is only available in a select few American cities, including Palo Alto, California, or Kansas City, Kansas. Google is slowly adding more cities to the list, but it will be many years before it is available or more rural areas, and by that time, this Internet speed will probably already be the standard. Although it may be a little bit too good to be true, Google Fiber is definitely a neat technology that would be great to see in the future.
