“The best part of [A Capella] choir is just hanging out with you friends.” Micah Torgerson “Choir is a great experience.” David Luehring
“Choir is pretty fun. We sing a lot, and then sing some more. We travel to many churches to sing, but the best part is all the awesome food we get.” Alex Zastrow
“The best part of choir is working with music, expanding our ways of praising God through song and having fun with your friends.” Hope Letko

the choir “gowns up” by dressing in the familiar blue A Capella robes. The A Capella choir sings throughout the first service. After the first service the church hosting the choir provides a breakfast. The choir then sings in the first half of the second service, before the sermon, and leaves around 11:15 AM. This week the A Capella choir will be performing at Immanuel Church in Hubbleton for the first service, and St. Mark in Richwood for the second service. The following Sunday the choir will be traveling to the Wisconsin Lutheran Chapel in Madison. Performing for churches is not the only thing the A Capella choir does though. Coming up in early November, Lakeside will be
hosting the WELS National Choral Festival. This festival is a gathering of choirs from Lutheran high schools all over the country. “There will be students and choirs coming to Lakeside from as far away as Seattle, Pheonix, and Nebraska, as well as many other schools.” Says director James Buege. Mr. Buege has been spending hours preparing for this upcoming choral festival by organizing concerts and places for choir members to stay while they are here. Friday November 8th there will be a Choral Festival Pops Concert where each school’s choir will prepare their own performance. The following Sunday will include a Sacred Concert with a more serious tone.

The A Capella choir is Lakeside’s most prestigious choir that consists of Juniors and Seniors. Contrary to the name the A Capella choir sings both acappella and with accompaniment. Here is a look into a typical Sunday for the choir and what is coming up. A typical Sunday for the A Capella choir usually includes singing at both the early service, 8:30 AM, and the late service, 10:30 AM. “I usually have the students arrive at a strange time like 7:27, it is much easier for them to remember.” Says director, James Buege. The choir warms up its vocal chords in the church before the service and then
Calling all doctors Is your new iPhone making you sick? staff reporter

There is much controversy about Apple's biggest update to their mobile operating system update since iOS 4, when it implemented things such as multitasking, home screen backgrounds, and notifications. There are many who feel that iOS 7 is something that was desperately needed, with an updated and much more modern looking GUI (Graphical User Interface) and many new features that have been lacking. There is also the other side of the story. Many people are complaining that iOS 7 does not run fast on their device, they liked the old iOS 6 better, there is no easy way to downgrade back to the older version, or it is making people sick. Soon after iOS 7 was released, complaints started rolling into Apple about freshly updated devices giving them dizziness, nausea, headaches, and eyestrain.

Why does this happen? A psychologist named Frederick Bonato from Montclair State University in New Jersey sums up one possible cause, “Seeing a three-dimensional space, on a phone you know is flat can trigger queasy feelings.” On the home screen of a device running iOS 7, the icons of the apps are moving constantly, ever so slightly, to create the illusion that the apps are not on the background, but in front of it in a three-dimensional environment. While this is a neat effect, that, in combination with a high contrast and Apple’s high-definition “Retina” display, causes some people’s brains to panic. There are several ways someone can fix this problem if suffering from some of these symptoms. Apple has included in the update a setting “Reduce Motion” under Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion to limit the motion of the icons. Also, make sure to take a 5 minute break for every 10 to 20 minutes spent on the device.
Many teens struggle to find a way to fit in. They all just want to be appreciated someway and somehow, to be popular, just like everyone else around them. One would think that being liked would mean just being one’s self, right? Well, according to today’s society, many would be wrong. What many people think they need to do to fit in are drugs, sex, drinking alcohol and other things against the Word of God. If someone thinks that fitting in is doing everything against God, turn around and think again immediately. If people think someone is crazy for following God, then one should not follow that person. Christ says in 1 Corinthians chapter 6:19,20, “You are not your own; you were bought at price. Therefore honor God with your body”. Christ’s Word says that your body is not your own. Respect it, take care of it as God would himself. You will always be number one to Him. You are always loved and appreciated by Him. Nobody here on hotel earth truly matters. People here will make fun of you or even turn you down, but turn to God. He will always be there for you.
The tradition lives on
A look in to Lakeside’s Homecoming and where it began staff reporter
Winter Petry
Homecoming is a well-known tradition practiced by most high schools throughout the country. This fun-filled event did not originate at a high school however, but rather at a college. Baylor College, the University of Illinois, and the University of Missouri all claim to have held the first homecoming, but the NCAA has accredited the University of Missouri with the true title. In 1911, the school’s athletic director asked alumni of the school to help commence the new location of their football field by “coming home” to catch the annual game against their University of Kansas rivals. Many colleges and high schools have ad-
opted this ritual and have customized it to fit their personality. Overtime, homecoming has evolved from an alumni-focused event to a more football-focused event, centering on decorations, activities, and a dance. A theme is usually decided each year for homecoming, just as Lakeside’s theme this year was “Monsters.” Everyone has different tastes and opinions, so pleasing the majority of students can become quite a task to accomplish while keeping peace and order at a school. While some people may be pleased and others not, homecoming will continue to be an exciting celebration that brings friends together to cheer their school’s team towards a victory.
The students speak: Favorite part of Homecoming 150 students enjoyed the theme; 170 did not 243 students attended the dance; 77 did not
