First, students got name tags with a number. These numbers were organized to get groups together for later that day. There were team-building activities that were made in order to help Fre hmen bond with student coming from different middle schools in order to help with Lincoln Hig h's harmonious community. One of them was the balloon pop. Many students loved this game although it was quite challenging.

Fr~shman Zach Lane said, "I was really scared because I don't like balloons but I wanted to go up there, and it was really fun." to es gam p grou e som do and up get to got ers grad 9th the all done were ities activ the of t mo r Afte help them meet new tudents or friends. Then the Link Crew members gave their group a tour of the whole school. After that each group went to a clas room where they did more activhies. The day then went by and it was time for lunch. Everyone packed into the cafeteria to experience their first high chool lunch (after waiting in line for what seemed like hours of course).

After going through their schedules and finding their rooms, the day ended at Ted Sorensen Theatre with LHS Principal Mark Larson giving a welcome speech telling students how great our staff and hers teac High oln Linc the of all by on red chee were ent stud day, the of end the At is. l choo who clapped and gave words of encouragement as they filed out of the theatre, down the front steps, and out the front door to complete their first day of high school.

Orientation. "I remember how nervous I was on the first day my freshman year," Vivier said.

"And it was nice to have an easy day to transition. So, this year I decided to return the favor and hopefully inspire a freshmen to pay it forward in a few years!"

Sophomore Faith Steen also noted the impact that Link Crew has on some 9th graders every year. "I love Link Crew , because it gives freshmen a chance to bond with upperclassmen the first day, and get to know the school without feeling so overwhelmed!"

Senior Micah Oman said, "I just love showing kids what it's like to be at LHS - how we're one of the best schools in Lincoln."

The best part of it all was getting to put the rumors of high school to re t, Lara said. "Many of the students were so scared of freshman Fridays, but we told them it wasn't going to happen," she added. Being a member for the past two years, and now being a senior, this is omething she

School-Wide

at Festivus!

By Paige Brandt Take 2,000 high school students, and give them the afternoon off to eat, play, and have fun outside.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? But for the past 17 years, this is exactly what Lincoln High has done. Total number of referrals or incidents during that time? Zero.

This annual fall celebration (the only one of its kind in Lincoln) gives clubs and organizations a chance to raise some money, and it gives students and staff an opportunity to interact with each other in a relaxed atmosphere outside of the building and classrooms. It also provided students with the chance to challenge teachers and administrators to the traditional "feats of strength" and skill at the various big-ticket attractions.

Walking around the grounds to the southwest of the school building, you might have seen Principal Mark Larson jousting witq. jun ior Liam McChristian, or freshman Julian Murillo scrambling up the rock wall after English teacher Ruth Friedman. Sta ff members also participated as targets for the dunk tank.

C a rn iv a l N e v e r Disappoints

McChristian said, "My favorite moment was seeing [social studies teacher Lindsey Herting] fall in the dunk tank."

Sadly this time the student body did not win this competition therefore giving bragging rights to the faculty and staff. "Keep principaling as well as you joust," McChristian said, after Larson knocked him off · his feet, literally! McChristian is open to the idea of a rematch next year.

At the end of this day, clubs raised anywhere from $80 to over $500 for jus t their clubs. Debate coach Victoria Freman said, "Festivus is a wonderful thing.

The fundraising brainstorming sessions showed us jus t how well we think together and cooking together helped us learn how to work together extraordinarily well."

Some other clubs that are regulars include Student Council, which has "sold lemonade for as long as I've been here," Student Council sponsor Nicole Barnes said.

International Club, sponsored by German teacher Marissa Wanamaker, sold "cookies from the Cookie Company with different flags frosted on them."

Whatever your taste or desire or passion, the re' s something for you at Festivus, and the re' s always a way to get involved at Lincoln High.

Art project highlights stu de nts wi th exceptional skills,

e c n e e c x II E "The stories of grit, kindness and achievement I see every day at Lincoln High School inspired this project," Art teacher Yvonne Meyer said of her vision to highlight LHS students who embody positive qualities. And the Excellence Project was born.

"Ou r mascot, The Links, stands for Tradition, Diversity, Unity and E~cellence. All four represent us, but excellence is the common thread in this work," Meyer added.

She feels that everyone has talents and passions we can contribute to the greater good of our community.

In the fall of 2016, students and staff nominated around 170 students who they felt show character, service or contribution. From this group, 50 were chosen to roughly represent the diversity of Lincoln High according to gender and ethnicity.

Advanced Photography students then created the portraits during class in J.anuary and early February. Some people chose to bring props to tell their story or express some aspect of their personality.

"It was pretty amazing to watch this part of the process, as making an engaging portrait requires an ability to connect with someone while also attending to technical issues," Meyer explained.

1:he final phase of this part of The Excellence Project will be a group action with Inside Out, an international, collaborative art project that enables communities to tell their own stories in a visual way. Inside Out printed the portraits as 36"x53"posters.

These posters were then attached to a linked, modular sculpture made of four-foot

attitudes

circles with notches to be configured as a space allows. A sample of the sculpture was on display here but the complete sculpture will make its debut in May at Lincoln High School during Joy Nite.

"This project will culminate in a book and video that tell the creative process of students, stories of excellence in many forms and our belief that everyone can make a positive difference," Meyer said.

Diversity and Unity

Traditions @LHS that make us stronger As you enter Lincoln High, you are getting a glimpse of the world. As you walk the halls of Lincoln High school you are surrounded by the diversity and the members of many cultures that LHS has hosted for many years.

"Ou r diversity and our rich culture is what Lincoln High is known for and what makes us unique," principal Mark Larson said.

At this school you are getting the experience of learning first-hand about the many stories you hear from the news. You get to learn about all the different traditions and how various cultures interact that are around the world.

LHS carries a wide range of the many diverse traditions and cultures. Karen Club with their traditional food and drinks at Festivus as well as Viet Links and Las Razas Unidas shared their traditional foods. Ground Zero and Pomalinks represented hip-hop culture with their groves on the dance floor at many events.

LHS also has a group called Fork in the Road, which tarted last year. Members of the group have had huge contributions to the diversity here at LHS, spreading and listening to all the different types of stories that people share.

"Th e baseline function of Fork in the Road, is sharing experiences with people that you normally don 't hear from, people that you can just classify as international or classify as being ELL or being classified as whatever. But what do we really know from just that classification? So actively having a conversation or actively letting those people speak without interrupting them," sophomore Saadi Ali said. Tha t's when you learn the important things.

#WeBelong

By ThaDa Oo "We are all different from each other and learn from other experience by communicating," ophomore Kaw Nay Lee said. "Al o the cultures create curiosity because every year new people bring in new culture and that makes us want to learn more about it."

LHS has been involved with many things that have brought our diversity and cultures together such as culture festivals and very recent one called the Respect Campaign put on by Student Council.

"I guess the Respect Campaign is a really important time to just appreciate different cultures and different types of people that are here at Lincoln High, becau e it is such a diverse school. And sometimes it's just like our everyday thing and it's so special because this is the school we are in, but to other people it's not as normal so it's good to just recognize all of the diver ity that we have," junior Cameron Spangler said.

With the respect campaign, LHS also had a Cultural Clothing Day on January 13, 2017, where all the students here wore their traditional clothing to represent where each student comes from and to show the wide range of diversity that LHS has.

"It's great to have a culture day, because we get to show off our traditional clothes," enior Tin Win said.

Students here at LHS are not just students but dreamers that will become future doctors, teachers, police officers, and other professions that makes our society great from the diversity and culture that we carry.

From The Advocate: Given the current political climate across the country, The Advocate decided that they wanted the cover of their third issue to reflect what they think is the overall message/ climate/mood/atmosphere of Lincoln High - that feeling of belonging. It doesn't mean that we all always get along or that there are never any conflicts or problems. It does mean that whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever you background is, and wherever you're going, you belong here. You're welcome here. This is where you should be.

It doesn't mean giving up who you were before you came here, and it doesn't mean that you have to fit someone else's expectations of what you should look like or sound like or act like. It means appreciating the uniqueness of others and maybe

adding some of those characteristics to yourself. It means listening to, and respecting, a variety of opinions as well as sharing your own. It means expanding your concept of the world and our place in it.

The students pictured on the cover represent the diversity of our student body. There is a lot of uncertainty these days in many aspects of our lives, and there may be more to come, but we want all students at Lincoln High to feel that this is where they belong. The chain that is the symbol of our school is a constant reminder that we are stronger together and that we can weather any storm if we support each other. We are enriched by our diversity. It's what makes us who we are as a school and as a country.

Now, more than ever, we need to embrace that diversity, and see it for the incredible gift that it is.

Links dress up to show

By Rahma Abuzaho school pride!

Spirit Week has arrived and Homecoming is in the air.

Everyone is smiling, enjoying being silly on school days for once. Spirit Week is a week where people have emotional support for an upcoming event. In this case, the event is the Homecoming Dance and the Homecoming Game.

Counseling Secretary Julie Trembley, for instance, participated in Wacky Wednesday because, "It's fun to dress silly and goofy and not have to worry about work attire."

Junior Lateef Sandlin said that the reason why he engaged in Wacky Wednesday was, "I felt like being goofy and it'd be fm;my."

Junior Zion Perry added, "It's a great chance to be wearing some crazy stuff to school without being drilled by friends."

Lincoln High is all about diversity, and with Spirit Week, we get to see all sorts of marvelous personalities within an individual. It's fascinating to recognize all the unique differences. Principal Mark Larson said, "Honestly, the one (day) I didn 't participate in that I thought was the most creative was Artist day. I didn 't do that one, but I thought it was pretty cool seeing what everybody else dressed up like. It was a good conversation starter to learn who their favorite artists were and why they thought so."

With Spirit Week, it helps everyone to just smile at someone they don 't even talk to. "I think that 's a cool part about those dress up days," Larson added. "I think it exhibits a • certain sense of unity among the students and staff." Behind that is a connection without words being used and that 's wha t's loved in this school because that 's what Lincoln High is about.

Except for Multiples Day, some students didn 't even plan with anyone about what they would wear on what day. Some like Perry and Sandlin didn 't plan with friends to dress up.

"But they too showed up wearing some crazy outfits on Wacky Wednesday," Sandlin said.

Spirit Week is about understanding that school is not just school. It's a place where the learning environment could be interesting to learn in general. Senior Mikayla Parks is in Student Council and participated in all of Spirit Week. "I think it's important to have fun, and I thought this was a great way to dress up and have Lincoln High spirit," she said.

Recognizing the resent Phenomenal Athletes Honored in the Athletic Hall of Fame Established in 1983, The Lincoln High Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize some of the Links most incredible athletes and permanently record and recognize them for their greatest achievements. Over the course of 125 years it is estimated that over 10,640 letters have been awarded to all the exceptional athletes in Black and Red History. The preservation of all the rich tradition of Lincoln High is highly regarded.

In 1997, the Honor Team Award was added to the Athletic Hall of Fame, recognizing a particular sports team in Lincoln High history. This year's winners are the 1954-1955 State Championship Boys Basketball Team, who went on a perfect 17-0 season before the State tournament, and the 1914-1915 State Championship Boys Basketball Team,

Athletk Hall of Fame

who had a 16-1 record to repeat as State Champions.

In 2002 the Special Recognition Award was added to the Athletic Hall of Fame to recognize special contributions to Links Athletic or by s·omeone of a Links family, the winner this year being Aldis Augstums, who was already inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame. Since the Hall of Fame's creation in 1983, Aldis has donated all the printing for letterheads, banquet tickets and program books from hi family printing company "Augstums Printing Service" which he is now the owner off. In 2012, The Family Award was added to recognize accomplishments made by several members of the same family, to include one or more generations. This year's winner was

By Ian Hansen the Dean Family and were recognized for the togetherness that the family brought with them. The Dean Family wanted to emphasize this togetherness with their five boys (Clyde Kenneth, 1920, Robert Taylor,1922, John Cooper 1924, Guy Clifford Jr,. 1927 and James Donald, 1929) appropriately named the Dean Brothers and had them set the standards for all their sports.

The Dean Brothers all had a great amount of success throughout their athletic careers here at Lincoln.

They had accomplished all of their feats with their father's dream of togetherness and to encourage one another.

It was a good night for the Lincoln High Varsity Football Team, but some people were skeptical about the team' s chances of winning against the North Platte Bulldogs, a team that beat them every time they played them. The Links proved them wrong.

This was only our second Homecoming game that LHS won in the past 15 years.

The final score was 55-24, a big win for Lincoln High, but winning isn ' t always easy. You jus t have to play hard and work as a team to get the job done.

"It felt amazing to win , especially after losing by a game winning goal in overtime • last year," jun ior wide receiver Zion Perry explained.

The team learned a lot from this game.

Senior defensive end Max Streckfuss said ,"T he team really learned how good we are capable of being."

The energy from the sidelines was the greate st. This game wa s most definitely a team effort, they did everything they could to make sure they won and played well. The team really seemed to click and they worked

By Angelica Phillips really well together. They really worked well on turning nothing into something.

There were some things that went wrong that night, but the team knew exactly how to move on from it. The team kept building each other up, hyping each other up, giving each other compliments, and getting excited and/or cheering when the team got a good play. This team plays a big role in the school's Homecoming game history.

For the seniors it was a good game to end on. Senior right tackle Ian Han sen said , "It breaks my heart that this is my last Homecoming game, but I'm glad this is the one I ended on. " It took a lot to prepare for this game.

"We had to practice everyday and try our hardest to win this game," junior middle linebacker Jack Buchanan said.

"The whole team did a very nice job with this year's homecoming game. They tried their hardest to get along and worked together so they could win ," coach Mark Macke explained.

Lincoln High's Varsity Football players traded out their game-winning jerseys for stunning red carpet attire at about 8:00pm on Friday, September 23rd, 2016. The Homecoming Game ~tarted at 6 p.m., and the stands were full of Lincoln High pride. By the end of the 4th quarter, Lincoln High won the winning title by a score of 55-24. Students cheered in the stands throughout the night and didn't lose their excitement on their way into the South Gym. As soon as students got their wristbands, put away their belongings, and stepped foot into the South Gym, the party started, and DJ Melissa Patzel started playing popular music.

Before the night was over, the 2016 Homecoming Royalty were crowned. Homecoming Royalty this year was Freshmen Lord Tristian Swift and Lady Mandy Duffy, Sophomores Duke Carter Yost and Duchess Audrey Hitt, Junior Prince Jack Buchanan and Princess Lydia Bartek, and lastly Seniors King Harper Lundine-Wilmoth and Queen Julia Haack. As soon as they were crowned, the party resumed, and everybody had a blast.

"I enjoyed every minute of it," freshman Mandy Duffy said. "The students were kind to me, I saw everyone being included, and it was a special opportunity. I'm glad I participated in the dance of 2016." Freshman Tristian Swift had a very different response. "I thought to myself, 'Did they just sayTristian Smith? That's not my name. My name is Tristian Swift.' I was mad, but my favorite moment was walking with Naomi down the aisle. It was fun," Swift said.

The Homecoming Dance was full of fun memories, and some mishaps, but overall many enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

"I'd like to thank the academy ... oh and the LHS band," sophomore winner Audrey Hitt said.

"I was very surprised that I was nominated, and I was like 98% sure that I wouldn't actually win, so it was very surprising," explained'junior Lydia Bartek.

"Being with my girlfriend and dancing, and being able to win with my girlfriend felt good," Jack Buchanan explained early on.

"I felt really flattered and happy when Harper and I won royalty," senior Julia Haack explained. "It was such a great honor

Many students have different talents, interests, jobs, and skills. Some students excel at math, some at English, and some at sports. These students all excel at different things ranging from drawing to speaking different languages to comedy. and many other things. At Lincoln High, these students come together and show off their many talents while also teaching them to others.

Brynna Madison(9) Bowling 'The Junior Olympics went well for my first year being there . I tried my hardest, which is what counts. It was in Reno and it was my first year there so I didn't really know what to expect. We had four qualifying days. My best moment was being a leader. I taught the Lincoln High team some leadership skills, sportsmanship skills. My hardest moment would be staying collected and calm when I was bowling." Brynna Madison has been bowling for six years. She doesn't remember why she started doing it but loyes it. She got the chance to try out for the American Junior Olympics bowling team this year in Reno, Nevada. She can't wait to try and qualify next year .

Noelle Nielsen

Drawing "I like, not just drawing, but all art because I can express myself however I want to. So like if I'm sad I can do something sad and if I'm happy I can do something massive . 1don't know, it's like a really great tool for expression." Noelle won awards throughout middle and elementary school and after a six month break she reentered art and has begun drawing as well as painting and sculpting. She wants to have her own studio/library so that she can do what she wants to do and just "ruin the walls with it." She says that she might want to major in film during college.

Juggling I actually did it for Upward Bound and we had a talent show during the summer. So I just decided, one of my friends know how to juggle, so we did a juggling routine that year . When we presented it was, it was a fun time. Jamil Funnah, a senior, began juggling for the Upward Bound summer talent show. He and his friends worked hard and performed a juggling routine. Jamil said that the hardest part about it was when they were performing. They dropped one of the balls and had to act like it was a part of the show. He now juggles for fun with his friends.

Visual Art "I've always been a little nervous with words but when I draw and I create with my hands . It's just, it's more truthful to myself. Scotty began drawing when he was around six. He said that he began to take it seriously when he was about 12. He was honored that his drawing for the Slam Poetry was selected for their T-shirts. He doesn't plan on pursuing a career in the visual arts due to the careers being unpredictable and unstable.

Sign Language "My favorite song to perform is Fight Song by Rachel Platten. I started learning because I'm deaf. The hardest thing to overcome is that sign language isn't taught at Lincoln High." Jenna Fuller, a freshman, can speak sign language rather well. She has been learning for some years and performs songs . . In eighth grade, she preformed Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" in front of the entire eight grade for the talent show. She wants Lincoln High to start teaching sign language. She can't wait to continue beautifully performing songs for people.

Links host Dig gin g Pink Rally to raise money for breast cancer research &~ CkUa. Below: Some of Mr. Bargen 's former and current

By MacKenzie Pierson Overall, this year the Lincoln High volleyball program raised $8,251 towards breast cancer research. This year the volleyball program held a tournament instead of participating in one game. The JV and Varsity teams that attended the tournament included Omaha Westside, Millard South, Norfolk, and Bellevue East.

"This year we had a tournament which brought a lot more people to the event.

There was twice as many teams this year and that showed in the funds we raised. It was a great event and I hope it continues to be successful in the years to come at Lincoln High," senior Kaelin Wubbles said.

"The tournament was fun and laid back because of the atmosphere' of raising money for a good cause, which made it furi to play," senior Jorja Francis said.

At annual "Links Dig Pink" Varsity and Junior Varsity Volleyball teams went against Omaha Westside, Bellevue East, Millard South and Norfolk.

"The best part of the whole tournament was coming together as a team and raising money for a great cause. As the day went ~ As,a.e.! Right: Kaelin Wubbles (12) is gets ready to attack the ball to score another point for the Links.

on Varsity was very competitive and made a lot of improvements as a team," Coach Megan Christensen said.

The volleyball program also held a nonprofit car wash to raise additional money towards cancer research on September 18th. True Value on 27th and Highway 2 hosted and provided soap for the car wash. The car wash raised a lot of the final donation amount.

"My favorite part of the tournament was seeing all the hard work finally come together. We had been planning this event since the beginning of the season and it turned out great! We made over eight thousand dollars which went to help others.

I think we were all very proud of what we did for the organizations," Wubbles said.

On the day of the Digging Pink Rally there was also a silent auction and raffle held in the Johnson hallway. Players and parents reached out to local businesses for donations for the raffle and auction. Some of the donations came from Russ' s, Juice Stop, Wilderness Ridge, Lincoln Children's Zoo, and many others.

Raising mo ne y for the Make a Wish fou nd ati on in a un iqu e wa y

"At that moment I looked around and saw everyone just really paying attention and it was just really cool to see the whole Lincoln High community getting to be apart of that," LHS principal Mark Larson said.

On November 11th 2016 students and staff from Lincoln High gathered in the Johnson Gym for an amazing cause.

Twenty seve n teachers Split into two teams red and black to raise money for Make-A-Wish foundation. Make-A-Wish foundation is a organization that grants a wish to every child diagnosed with a life threatening medical condition. Along with the game being played by the teachers, Lincoln High had other activities going on throughout the game such as the Water bottle flipping challenge, mannequin challenge and performances from the Pomalinks and Ground Zero.

Black team held the lead for much of the game but red team did end up taking the victory at the end of the night.

English teacher Rodney Droud says

By Cammie Chandler

"I tried to make a pass to Chris Turley But coach Marcus Perry intercepted and made me look bad."

Lincoln high has held 4 previous years of Hoops for hope in the past.

This year we raised over 5,000 dollars to donate to Make-A-Wish foundation. LHS Student Council has sponsored this event all 4 years. Many teachers get involved to help children in need but Deborah McGinn got involved because "That foundation is incredible, and I hold a special place in my heart for the kids who struggle, and the ones who make an effort to stay alive."

At the end of the night red team won the trophy but in all of our hearts Make-a-Wish foundation won. For the past 4 years of Hoops for Hope Lincoln High has raised more money every year and we hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.

SENIORS

Reaching the end of your high school life, there's a lot of excitement and preparation for what to do next. Applying to colleges, finding steady jobs, making the most of your senior year.

Aside from all of the panic, or maybe "senioritis", it's important to remember all of the memories you've made over the past.four years. What was your favorite part? What makes you proud to be a link? How many laughs did you share, tears did you shed, homework assignments did you forget? All of it, all of the good and the bad, has gotten you to this point. Graduation, and learning to be independent and live on your own. Keep these memories safe as you grow, and always remember, you're forever a Link.

Q.What is your favorite memory from School?

Getting involved in sports and running cross country and track because with the Cross Country team, it's like a small community, we are like a little family. I've gotten really close with all the athletes over the years and some of my best friends have come from that. It's just been a really great expenence.

Q. How has your time at Lincoln High effected you?

I was really shy and self-conscious my freshman year and didn't really do much. Looking back at it, I really came out of my shell and really opened up and became more outgoing and crazy.

Q. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Being called 'Mama Cody' on the Cross Country team. I am kind of the major role model of the team and everyone comes up to me if they need help with anything.

Lincoln High has always been known for its diversity, but imagine living in a foreign country for nine months and then making best friends with someone from a third, totally different country. Petra Valtonen, from Finland and Nerea Zarragoitia Goirigolzarri, from Spain did just that. The two told the story together.

"It was the first day of school," Zarragoitia Goirigolzarr said, but Valtonen corrected her friend to explain the real story. "No, it was the first day of cross country. So it's really funny, we never ran, and so then we both had cross country practice, and we couldn 't even run a mile, and we were dying together, and we didn't even know each other, and we were both running together and we gave up and walked back to the school together like 'this is too much.' But we did it, and that's how we met," Valtonen explained.

Zarragoitia Goirigolzarri and Valtonen have shared many moments together after becoming best friends, but their favorite day would either have to be LHS's Hollywood themed Homecoming, or a during a cross country meet.

"I was crying, becau e my hip was hurting and she was like, 'RUN! RUN!' and we ran together," Valtonen explained.

"Yeah, it was like in one of the cross country meets," Zarragoitia Goirigolzarri added. "One of the last ones, and she was trying to beat her time and she had a huge pain in her hip and she cried the entire time 'til she finished the race; so we finished together."

"I wish I could say something more interesting than I just knew, but I just knew," junior Mackenzie Davenport said about the first moment he knew he wanted to be an actor.

"I saw my si ter in a production and felt like I needed to be up there on stage.

Then when I finally did my first show I knew I was going to be involved for the rest of my life. For the past few years I've been exploring all the different parts of theatre, and learning more and more how much I love it."

Daven port's first show was a youth production of The Tortoise and the Hare at the Haymarket Theatre way back in 2005. The older he got, the more involved he got with theatre, the more his dreams grew.

"In short, I wanted to direct, and no one would let me, so I found my own way to do it. I talked to ome friends who had similar ideas to mine and eventually we decided to start the company." That company is the Silicon Prairie Theatre Company (siliconprairietheatre.org), a theatrical group where every aspect of every show is done by youth.

"We are youth-founded and maintained, and that is what makes us different," Davenport explained. ot only is it remarkable that this 17-year-old created a lasting theatre company, but it is so orientated with minors, he already has sophomore Jackson Mikkelsen as an apprentice, for when he turns 18, to take over the company.

"When we were looking for a name I saw the term "Silicon Prairie" on Wikipedia and looked into it. The Silicon Prairie is a phrase used to describe the Lincoln/Omaha area and the Midwest generally because of the large amount of tech companies here. I liked the term because it harnesses the new spirit of the company but still grounds it in Lincoln, our home. So the Silicon Prairie Theatre Company, or SPTC, was born."

Davenport not only started his own theatre company, and participated in seven shows at Lincoln High for a total of 53 all together, but he is also a member of the Lincoln Theatre Alliance. The Lincoln Theatre Alliance is an group of theatres in Lincoln and in the surrounding areas used to communicate between the various theatres. "It's a wonderful organization," he said. Davenport is the representative of the SPTC chapter.

"My best day ever was the opening night of the first production I'd directed, and the company's first show, Boeing Boeing. The cast and crew finally knew we could do it, and we got the first recognition for our work. One of my longtime theatrical mentors (the Obi-Wan to my Luke) also made a surprise visit to see the show, which made the experience mean so much more." And with another year of high school left, Mackenzie plans of continuing his acting career and chasing his dreams to being a director.

There are a number of twins here at LHS, but looking at sophomores Madalyn and Will Brandt, you might not guess that they belong to this group. That's because they are fraternal, not identical, twins. They do share some of the same competitiveness common in many sibling relationsh ips, though.

"I am one minute older than Will," Madalyn points out proudly.

"But lam taller," says Will defiantly.

Like most twins, they both still have to share some of the same things, like a car. When they both tum 16 their parents are going to get them a car and they are going to have to share it. They still do not know who is going to drive.

They never really wear matching clothing, but when they randomly do, one of them goes and changes because they do not like to match to school. The Brandt's also share some of the same hobbies, like for example they both like to play tennis. They are also both in the 1B Program and have most of their classes together.

"I like it," Madalyn says. "It's fun having my brother in class."

"It's nice, because we can help each other on our homework", replies Will. When one of them is gone, they get the notes from the other.

Describe your best day of high school.

"I think the best day of high school was when I was called into the office for Upward Bound. They called me into the office because I Crouse, Ronald had good grades and I was on Cuddy, Peter honor roll, and they just saw Cummings, Collin something in me that they thought could be useful. When I was in the office they told me that they could put me in a program where they could help me find different colleges that I could go to that actually could help me. I was feeling very happy and excited but kind of iffy because I didn't know exactly what it was. In the office I had to fill out a few forms, Curry Keiyanna and then I got a home interview, and now I am in Upward Bound! I am ' Dah Pah pretty ready!" ahlstrom, Madison Best thing that has ever happened to you.

"I think the best thing that has ever happened to me i when I got to see the other side of my family again. I was very excited after not seeing them for about ten years. I didn't really know how to react. I was just overwhelmed with joy.

Descr ib e your best day of high school.

"Probably my best day of high chool is when I played on the varsity soccer team.

It was a good experience to be able to play with some good players and a good team.

The things that I liked about playing varsity soccer was getting to take the bus rides out of town and chilling with teammates. I also liked that I got to have some good experiences, got to play with upperclassmen, and play against good team . My favorite play was when I scored a hat trick."

FRESHMEN

IIIJI~'l,I-'l,1ll~l~N'l,l~I) Harp er Lawson Everybody wanted a pony when they were young, but LHS . freshman Harper Lawson actualJy got to grow up with ponies and horses. She started riding when she was around the age of five.

"My mom rides horses, so I grew up with a pony, and then I got horse," Lawson says. Now she owns six horses, and .three of them live in Colorado.

She puts in lots of hard work and hours to improve her skills.

She spends about once a week in the winter and almost every day in the summer practicing.

In Nebraska there is a Youth Reining Association but because of Lincoln being so small there is little competition, she opted into The Rocky Mountain Quarterhorse Youth Association for more competition. Doing so gives her a better chance of qualifying for the Youth Show in Oklahoma in August.

Lawson travels to Colorado once or twice a month to ride or to show, mainly in the summer months since she joined public school.

"My favorite part of going to shows is getting to see my friends, since they don't live in Nebraska."· Lawson explained She also travels to Fremont Nebraska and Colorado once a month for rodeos during the summer. During August last year she traveled to Oklahoma to compete in ranch riding for the Youth World Show.

Aside from riding, Lawson is also a diver for the Lincoln High Swim Team, and she knits.

Jaxson Barber isn't your typical freshman.

Besides being part of the JV Boys Basketball team and being enrolled in Pre-IB and Honors classes, he has already started his college search.

"I 'm trying to be a biomedical engineer when I grow up, so I do a lot of engineering camps and science-related stuff," Barber said. Barber has been doing summer college visits were he goes to a different college and studies something he finds interesting .

He has visited the University of Miami, Stanford University, and is looking into MIT and North Carolina. When Barber went to the University of Miami he enrolled in two segments that were three hours long.

During his visit to the University of Miami students learned what a 3D printer was and how to print items. By the end of the day they were able to print their own things.

"Y ou could pretty much print anything," Barber said. "W e kept it on a small scale because we printed with plastic, but you could print cars and stuff like that." .

Barber is also interested in basketball and has been playing since he was about three years old. His dad introduced him to the sport, and has always thought it was fun.

Barber is on the LHS JV Basketball Team and is the shooting guard for his team. Barber said, "I mean it would be nice (to play basketball in college). I'm jus t trying to use basketball to get into the be st school possible for college. So if I could get a preferred walk-on status or something like that. That would be great."

Nguyen, Phat Nguyen, Tai Freshman artist Moxie Steele spends most of her time drawing.

"I just use a pencil and any piece of paper I can find with enough blank room for me to draw on it," Steele says.

She draws anything that comes to mind. Sometimes ...__ _ _ _ _ _ __. it's people around her, random faces, or a set of eyes.

Steele say she has been drawing for as long as she can remember, and she is her own harshest critic.

"It's frustrating to want to draw all the time and realize that no matter what you draw it will never live up 1---+-.,. to your standards," Steele says. "So you either have to lower your standards a little bit and be like, 'Oh, this is what it is," or you have to keep practicing and practicing and practicing and maybe changing styles a little bit as you go to try to make your art up to your standards.

Until you're like, "Hey, I actually like this piece."'

Sen ior Staff - In The ir Ow n Words Bob White (1972) - The White family has 3 generations that have graduated from LHS. My father was a football and Track athlete, I was a football and Track athlete, and my youngest son Scott, who owns a school record as part of the 4 x 100 Relay in Track wa also the starting Quarterback for two seasons. Also my Mother and her siblings all att nded LHS , they resided in the South Bottoms along the railroad Tracks, at 4th and D. I chose to be an educator and a coach as a result of educators and coaches that influenced me to grow as an adult.

My highlight was when I returned to teaching and coaching after my car accident and amputation of my left leg in the fall of 2008. I missed the entire spring of 2008, as I was learning to walk with a prosthetic leg and going through rehabilitation at Madonna ho pital. Secondly being a Distinguished Alumni of Lincoln High and being inducted into the Lincoln High Athletic Hall of Fame wa a highlight.

Carolynn Goodwin (1975) - My mother graduated from LHS in 1948, and my sister and all my cousins who Jived in Lincoln graduated from LHS. It took several years in the classroom before I felt more like a teacher than like a student. When I first started teaching, all of my high school teachers were still here, and I struggled with calling them by their first names. I was in awe of them.

My best moment as a student? That would probably be when yearbook staff went to Pioneers Park for a photo shoot for the yearbook spread.

We posed on the buffalo statue. It sounds lame in 2017, but it was a big deal- and lots of fun-back in 1975. We thought we were so cool.

It would be hard to narrow down my best moment a a teacher, because any time I watch a student make a connection with my ubject matter is a great moment for me.

Make Each Day d, Jy1),,i Lincoln High's art program gets creative Lincoln High has really great teachers here, no matter the subject. Art classes are not like most other classes. They are more hands-on and creative where you get to fully express yourself.

The teachers really help you find your passion and talent, even if you are not experienced or good at it. For example, there are many students who do not want to take art or even practice at it because they think they don't have the talent.

11 [Art teacher Michelle Clifford] made sure everyone improved with their art skills," freshman Guandong Wal said. "Me personally, I could barely draw a head. I just really liked how she is willing to help improve 11 every student.

"Yeah, Guandong improved quite a bit," Clifford said. "Mostly in accuracy of spacing things out and sizes. Pretty much all of my students improved in their drawings over the course of the semester," Clifford added.

There are a lot of cool things you can do with art. You really find your true self through it. If you ever find yourself lost, try out art.

This year, the Art Department at Lincoln High is working on something called, The Excellence Project spearheaded by Art teacher Yvonne Meyer. The idea came from the Inside Out Project that was started by a street artist, JR, in Paris, because it gives voice to communities and groups.

"My hope is to create a traveling exhibit and sculpture that challenges negative bias and promotes the positive stories from LHS," Meyer said.

The students here at Lincoln High are putting together a photo book on the strengths and excellence in all of our lives. Their goals are to send positive messages to younger kids to show how amazing each person can

1 dl'i

be if they put their best effort into whatever they try and do in their lives.

The purpose is to "connect LHS with Lincoln in a positive way, and to create a lasting body of artwork that is tunning and meaningful, expressing students' values and perspectives, promoting constructive discussion, and challenging bias."

So literally no matter what, if you're good or bad, into art or not, it's always a great and a fun idea to try it out. The teachers and other students will all be accepting and willing to help you out. So get out there and join an art class next year to work on these amazing projects!

n e s s BUS 1 1

During the 2016-2017 school year, the busine s, FBLA, and DECA cla ses had many great experiences. Business teacher Sara Rush joined students to work on the Oculus 360 project. Lincoln High is one of the only schools in America to do this project.

Students took 360 degree videos of Lincoln High and the surrounding community going through a normal day. The video lasted between 3 and 5 minutes. It was created to help students explore similar jo bs in video production as well as higher education learning opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).

Nick Madsen's class went to the 'Ju ni or Achievement Stock Market Challenge.' The challenge has a four-person team against the other competitors, competing for stocks and mock money.

Th ey start out with one million dollars. Then they trade and buy stocks in a 60 da y simulation that changes every 90 seconds. This created a ninety minute challenge that had breaks every 45 minutes.

Once an investment has been made the screens that show what is happening update showing their progress and how smart of an investment they made.

Meanwhile, Lisa. Pickering's class placed in the 'Economic Challenge. ' The Nebraska Economic

The Adam Smith divi ion is reserved for cla es in AP , IB, or differentiated programs that are us ually a year long, while the David Ricardo division is for classes one-semester long and not labeled as differentiated, AP, or IB. Questions were about taxes , government items like tariffs and GDP, as well as other topics related to macro, micro, and international economics. The teams must first complete a preliminary round where a group of 3 to 4 students take the test. The top 10 high school teams in each division competed in Lincoln during the spring.

Take Charge tudents participated in mock interviews with local business and organizations like Runza, Shopko , and Union Bank & Trust. They were interviewed by representatives from the businesses as if they were interviewing for a real job.

This helped students learn valuable skills that would help them when they apply for a job.

Of

hop e, hardship For all of the ups and downs English Lang uage Learners (ELL) students here at Lincoln High School have been through, adju ting to a new life and learning a new language are their biggest priori.ties.

"I feel great," freshman Eh Ywa h Htoo said. "But adju ting to a new life sometime is hard and sometime it's easy."

These new Links have many stories that they can tell you from the experiences that they had to go through. Thei r torie s give them the strength and dedication to wake up every day, adju ting and learning a new language fast for the situations they are in.

"First of aJI we feel nervous and very scared, becau ewe have to learn the language fast to deal with the situation," explained senior Mu tafa Al-Shareefi.

One of our bigge t intere t in school is learning about the storie s that many people face, but sometimes that experience doe n't feel real when we look through it in a book and just read about it. For the experience to be real and actually feeling like you were there, .it's nice for someone to tell you their storie face-to-face.

On Octo ber 12, 2016 the Pre-IB students here at Lincoln High School had the chance to interview the ELL students and learn about their storie s and how they are adju ting to the new life and a new language. They had the chance to experience

J ur Ourneys

"Learning from a firsthand account made the experience way more real," freshmen Tameron Thomas said. "Learning about immigration from a text book doesn 't give you the same experience as li tening to omeo ne tell you about their story and the things they Jived through ."

It's hard for these Pre-IB students to have asked some of those que tion to the ELL tudents becau se nobody want to trigger any bad memorie they have had gone through.

"Som etimes asking a ques tion was hard, because you don't want to bring up something that might bring back memorie ," fre hman Hassan Almu sawy said. But to some ELL students it' omething that they want people to hear, and they like to share these storie s with others.

"I like to share my story with a new friend," senior Hla Nwe said. "It's not very haro for me to talk about it with other people."

Freshman Eh Ywah Htoo continued saying, "I could talk about my struggle in my home country." The Pre-IB tudent were very thankful and had so much respe ct to how openly the ELL students answered the questions , and it is a lifetime of memories that they will carry with them.

English classrooms connect to life experiences

By Brianna Rodriguez

When students at other schools think about their English classes, they visualize sitting in their desks spending the class period writing or reading a book.

This year, LHS English teachers livened things up with a variety of activities to keep students engaged.

From dressing up in togas to study The Odyssey, sharing temporary tattoos to draw attention to banned books, and discussing peaceful protests in the news, it was never a dull moment at The High.

In her first year at LHS , English teacher Sara Downs had Michael Rose-Ivey come to speak to her Reading classes. Rose-Ivey is a Nebraska Husker football player who knelt during the National Anthem to call attention to police violence against unarmed African Americans. "[The students] were pretty into it, and they were really connected with the idea of speaking out," Downs said. "They were also pretty fascinated with the fact that he's a local guy who plays football down the street from their high school," she added.

The unit that Downs was connecting his protest to was nonfiction news articles. During this time the Dakota Access Pipeline protests were a really big deal, she said. Downs decided to design a little miniunit around peaceful protesting within our world and in the news.

The class read articles about the pipeline protests and did some writings about them. They also read the First Amendment and broke it apart to figure out

~f'U.f- 1 r ~ ! Above: English teacher Beth Rempfer discusses the

book The Noose Tightens with her 5th period Holocaust Literature class.

Photo by Kira Behrends

what it stands for and what it mean . Then they looked at Colin Kaepernick and his prote t of kneeling during the National Anthem. Rose-Ivey's actions seemed like a logical connection.

Downs explained the process she went through to get Rose-Ivey to speak to her classes.

"It was actually random," she said. "I was just at home in the middle of this unit, and I was like, 'He has a Twitter. What if I just reached out to him to say thanks for doing what he did?"' Downs thought that would be the end of it, but he responded within a minute.

"We got to talking, and I told him that I was a teacher at Lincoln High, and I was using his protest with a unit at school," Downs said. After talking for a little bit, she figured she didn't have anything to lose and invited him to speak to her class.

"He was more than happy to do o," Downs said.

When Rose-Ivey came to speak to Downs' classes, her students really connected to what he said about speaking up about their beliefs. Students thought that having a UNL football player coming to speak to their English class was a great experience.

"Even though he is a big football player, he actually had also struggled, and he overcame a lot of issues," Downs said.

These are the kinds of experiences that LHS students will remember forever.

A Day in th e Life

Student Parents

Lincoln High's Student/Parenting Learning Center in action

By Cooper Hicks Parents walked into the Student/Child Learning Center with their child in hand, both eager for the day ahead.

The parents joined their children a couple more times through out the door, and finally picked them up at the end of the school door. The parents came together in classes where they learned how to care and provide for their children. While some were still expecting, others had already had a child. These parenting classes aren't available to anyone who isn't expecting a child or doesn't have one. The classes are open to parents who have outside of chool help for their child, but its mandatory for parents who use the Student/Child Learning Center. The parents learn many valuable skills that will come handy later during and after their pregnancy. Alicia Beck teaches the student classes, while Courtney Brethouwer is in charge of the 11 Student/Child Learning Center". During an interview Alicia Beck said "We were looking at h.ow kids learn science and they made ice cream in a bag. That was 11 fun. She said that one of the best moments was watching student parents graduate.

Physical

Health & Education We All We Got, We All We Need

By Ian Hansen and Naomi Rodriguez "We all we got, we all we need." In other words, forget everyone el e, because we've got each other. This what LHS strength and conditioning coach Coach Stewart Venable, wants his students, especially tho eo n a team, to remember.

Being physically fit is an important and essential part of living. Lincoln High has different classes to get kids active. Weight Training, Fitness for Life, and Team Sport are jus t some examples of classes to get students' heart rates going.

Many athletes take a weight lifting class to improve their strength and ability to play their respective sport. Football, soccer, basketball players and even cheerleaders lift weights during the summer to build strength for their upcoming season of hard work.

This year Lincoln Hi gh School won the 2016 Strength of America Award, which is an award that the National Strength and Conditioning Association gives to high schools that they think are running their PE classes to a high enough standard. Lincoln High is the only school in Nebraska that was honored enough to receive this award this year. "It's definitely a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction with the way things are going and that we're headed on the right

track." Coach Venable says proudly.

Seniors Allison Hinrichs and Wyatt Vivier are student coaches.

"To me being a tudent coach means a lot more responsibility than jus t showing up in the weight room and jus t working out." Hinrichs said. "I enjoy being able to help coach and learn the technique and learning how a normal workout would work as a PE coach or a weight lifting coach in general."

Vivier also had this different take. "A day to day operation for a student coach is jus t making sure they have good technique, they're enjoying the atmosphere, everybody's safe, and nobody's getting hurt," Vivier said. He likes to think of himself as a "mini Venable".

Student coach senior Wyatt Vivier has been down in the Lincoln High weight room since his second semester of eighth grade. There's a perception that people think the weight room is only for athletes, but that's not true. "The weight room is for everybody," Vivier said. "It doe n't matter how strong you are, it doesn't matter how weak you are. There's no strength requirement all you have to do is have motivation and have heart and you'll fit right in."

Hinrichs' favorite part of being a student coach is "being able to take a bigger lead in the weight room because I enjoy being able to build my own workouts and help other people. "

International

Baccalaureate

Rigorous prog ram prepares students for colle ge, life

By Carlos Ortega Where were you nine years ago? The International Baccalaureate program is on its ninth successful year! "Ultimately, the I.B Program has a hold as a wonderful job at helping students learn to ask questions and make sense of information themselves," I.B Coordinator J.P Caruso said. 547 total students had something to do with the International Baccalaureate since 2010. 185 students have graduated with an LB diploma, about 235 juniors anticipated, and 131 students took at least one LB class.

A former class of Lincoln High came back to Lincoln High for a class reunion and this is what Caruso recapped, "The reality was that the grades that they were getting in college were not the ame as the grades they earned their first semester of their Freshman year. This LB student however talked about how though he did not feel the same things, he was ready for school." LB prepares students for college by making them critical thinkers and independent people. "Its an inten ive college level course," said IB student Matthew Jockers.

AP and LB are similarly vigorous but there's something about the International Baccalaureate program that prepares students to write long essays and maintain their grades, that AP doe not. You may be wondering why or how International Baccalaureate does that. Well, In order to graduate from I.B with a diploma, some requirements have to be met. One requirement is to complete the Extended Essay Research project. Thi essay requires a 4,000 word honors thesis! It may be easier since you get to choose what topic you want to do it on instead of getting a prompt.

Students in their junior year of high school complete this and it helps them prepare for what is coming in their future. "The reality is that many of our students think that while AP classes will prepare you for college, LB · classes will better prepare you," said Caruso.

"It will definitely prepare you for what college is like, whatever happen s your Freshman year is basically what you will be experiencing in IB," said IB student Audrey Hayes.

The idea is that International Baccalaureate is the way to go during high school and the key to the I.B program is managing your time. If you are planning to go into LB you have to be dedicated and know that your future and career depends on this.

1B Prog ram

By Angelica Phillips Most people ju st focus on the science aspect of . school , but what about the skilled sciences aspect?

Skilled science classes also help people fulfill their dreams and goals for the future.

Construction workers for instance, they put in a hard day's work of cutting wood, putting up buildings, and making sure everything is in order so the new building can go up when planned. If we didn ' t have skilled science classes to help us make blueprints and learn the proper techniques we w ou ld n' t have new buildings.

Science classes are still very important, but skilled science classes can be ju st as important.

Stan H as s' 6th period Computer Aided Design (CAD) is currently working on blueprints for their dream house.

Senior Frank Martinez said, "I hope we get to build our houses, because this is something I want to do in my career." Many students are looking forward to building their dream houses like senior Allison Hinrichs.

"I do n' t plan on doing anything involving this class outside of school or for my career, but I do stuff like this around my house. Like I tear stuff apart and put it back together or ju st build things from scratch," Hinrichs said.

Most students and teachers take this class or teach it because they liked the aspect of this class.

Hass and Hinrichs both said, "This class is a good class, but I like the aspect of it the most."

Some students also take it because they are into classes like that. "I .took wood shop in 8th grade, took welding 1st semester of my junior year and now taking CAD my 2nd semester my senior year.

I ju st really enjoy classes like this ," Hinrichs explained.

"I have been taking classes like this since middle school" Martinez states.

Lots of people who take classes like this have been taking them for several years or teaching them for several years even though they do n' t plan on using classes like this to help further their career. Hass has been teaching for 15 years, Hinrichs has been taking these classes for about 5 years and Martinez has been taking classes like this for 5-6 years.

Many students face challenges in classes like this. Hass said , "There is one problem after another that students have to solve in classes like this." This gives them valuable experience in other areas.

Making It Teachers bring real life applications into the classroom

Count

As a student you watch your teachers, and you might think it's always easy for them especially math. And that's because when you've done something 5, or 6, or 50 times, it becomes very natural, Math teacher Pat J anike said.

"But as a student, you're doing a lot of things for the first time," Janike added. "And I think it's important to realize as a student that your teachers also struggle with things sometimes when they're doing them for the first time."

Math is more like a web of ideas than it is a sequence of ideas, Janike said. It's important to see the connections, and that's not always easy for students. It takes time and effort. And sometimes it comes slowly.

Next year having Chromebooks will be very different, so teachers all need to figure out new ways to engage students using technology.

Math teachers are beginning to change their usual teaching methods by looking for engaging activities and projects to get their students thinking.

Pre-Calculus teacher Charlot Schlake had her students do a group project at the end of first semester where they taught themselves about polar coordinates. Her students had to

create a Powerpoint and had to create a fun activity that helped other students learn abollt polar coordinates. Activities like these help students learn from a different perspective, one that might help with the understanding of the problem.

"I really want to try to find new way of teaching mathematics that make it meaningful to students," Janike said. "It's hard for me when I look at the things that I teach and look at my class and see the students feeling frustrated and thinking that what they' re learning doesn't matter." Not all students feel that way, he said.

Some of them want to learn just for the sake of learning, but some students if they don't see how it can be applied to their life, they don't want to work at it. "So I want to try find some ways to bring in some real-life applications."

What Janike really wants to do i inspire curiosity where students can wonder and a k questions and find the answers to those questions themselves.

"I want to give them the tools to find the answers to those questions," Janike said.

"That's what's going to make them more successful after school and in jobs - being able to find ways to answer que tions them elve ."

Music

In Our H e a r t s "W e have an amazing music program at Lincoln High School and it is exciting to be a part of it and watch it grow," Said Brett Noser , Orchestra director and string specialist. Lincoln Hig h's music program has been striving for years with so many music groups. Some include concert band, orchestra, wind ensemble, concert choir, jaz z band, and a new addition this year, world music drumming. The most difficult things this year have been, "Balancing IB Music, Orchestra, the 3rd Annual LINKS Orchestra contest and clinic, the musical Hello Dolly, Links World Ensemble , and having the orchestra play at 6th grade all-city." said Noser .

One request from Noser was that "It would be great to have two separate orchestras. We have so many different students, which is great! But it would be nice to have 2 different orchestras to cater to all of the needs of the orchestra students."

Not many people realize that the music programs take a lot of effort and work, but the special bonds they form when practicing outside of class in order to make a wonderful performance is quite taxing, but worth it. "I enjoy Orchestra because the music we are playing is great and really fun to play" said freshman orchestra tudent Stephani Ventura. Students in music classes need time management skills.

For some people this is no problem and for others it gets in the way of their educational success. Other than that, music classes are a really fun thing to do and students love being in these music classes.

Many students are already involved in. various music groups. "I am in show choir, jazz band, and last but not least, concert band." said freshman Tony Wright.

Many times when a person is in one of these groups they often become more involved because music is their pa sion. The LHS music program is a very diverse and amazing group that doe sn't discriminate against anyone, all that matters is your love of music .

"My favorite part of band is performing and trips because everyone is my friend" said Band freshman student Luzelena Alarcon. Long bus rides and putting in time after chool and on the weekend is what they do in order to perfect what they love. fr1.e.t-..u -.tu putut-'. Right:

Mysteries & Discoveries Making things happen never gets old There are many different science classes that Lincoln High offers. Each class involves different experiments and activities. Junior Nate Kettler says his favorite moment of his environmental science class was a recent experiment his class did with vinegar and baking soda. "It was really fun to watch them react and have a nostalgic feeling to when I was younger, and we made baking soda volcanoes." Science gives each and every student an opportunity to learn about something they may not know about.

Keeping

Current

Whenever people think of Social Studies classes, they probably think of a lot of note taking, lectures, and a long homework assignment that requires reading out of a textbook. However, here at Lincoln High the Social Studies teachers make the classes enjoyable and a lot more engaging. They do this in a variety different ways. History of the Holocaust teacher Brian Goodbrake says that he relies on his "energy and passion for the subject" and does not like to "just sit around and have people read and answer questions from the book" to make the class more engaging.

Not only do the Social Studies here at Lincoln High pride themselves on making the class entertaining and engaging for every student, they "pride themselves on the development of the students," Goodbrake said. Throughout the course of a typical social studies class, the teachers help teach not only the subject, but very useful skills in life in general like critical thinking skills and being able to make an argument for what you believe in.

Advanced Placement Government Politics and United States History teacher Andrew Bargen believes, "Social Studies is what turns you into a person. It is more education, not just training," Bargen said. The goal is to develop the critical thinking skill of students. Bargen helps reach these developments through his philosophy when it comes to teaching.

His philosophy is "treating students like people, [and] talking to students as if I were talking to a colleague." This is also a common theme throughout the Social Studies department because Goodbrake also wants people to "be able to think for themselves."

Another thing the Social Studies program helped with throughout Lincoln High was with the day after the Presidential Election. The day after the election here at the high was a difficult day for many students.

Social Studies

The Links stay connected and up- to-date on world events

By Ian Hansen and Angelica Phillips Throughout the whole school, there were feelings of uncertainty about whether or not family members were at risk.

After the very thought-provoking and heartfelt speech over the intercom that Principal Mark Larson made about the focus on unity in these hard times, many students were left with some new optimism and hope.The Social Studies department here at Lincoln High helped many students with this day by opening up the class to an open talk about the election so many could get their opinions and voices heard with this topic. Social Studies Department Chair Nancy Grant-Colson described the day as "emotional."

"It was intense and it was real," Grant-Colson said.

Principal Mark Larson gave an encouraging speech over sound, saying that we have been "focusing and asking our teachers to focus a lot on excellence, but today I want to focus on our unity."

Throughout the school, teachers did come together with the students and had an open talk with them so the students would have a chance to have their voices and opinions heard.

The Social Studies program at Lincoln High is a lot more than a stereotypical social studies class. One of the big reasons for this is because of the teachers. The teachers here at Lincoln High really try to help educate and develop students not only in their respective subjects but as well as people in general.

Lincoln high currently has over 30 languages spoken around the hallways in the entire school. No matter what language they speak they all have a diff~rent meaning to every one o f them. Lincoln High gives students the opportunity to learn three different languages. French, German and Spanish with 9 different teachers. This year 6 students from Amy Stetson 's Spanish 2 5th period class have the opportunity to go to the World Language fair at U N L on April 13, 2017 where students get to experience different presentations o f pop culture or countries and competitive events. Students from grades 9-12 throughout the state get selected to go and be part o f this event.

Elizabeth Garza and Grace Miller are partners and will be attending the fair as well along with the other 4. They will be working together to make a poster o f someone in pop

Elizabeth says she likes speaking Spanish other than english because she can talk to her family and they won't understand what sh e 's saying and it's funny to her she says. "I t' s cool to see how some things are like the same in English and Spanish and then some things are different.", says Grace on her opinion about learning Spanish. Speaking another language gives you opportunities for a lot o f things in life • especially being able to talk to others in that language says Javon Picquette. Picquette is a sophomore another student that will be attending the fair as well with his partner Elijah Riley a freshman.

Native American Links attend symposium at UNL

On November 30, 2016, over 20 Native American Lincoln Hig h students, along with a few hundred other Native students from across the city and the region, got the chance to visit the UNL campus as part o f a symposium sponsored by UNL. The purpose o f the sy mposium was to encourage Native students to consider college after high schoo l.

The students began the day with some opening remarks from st aff members in the auditorium at the Student Union, and then th ey split up into smaller groups which then toured the campus and particip ated in smaller breakout sessions on a variety o f topics includin g registration, housing, financial aid, and cultural opportunities on campus.

Despite the wind and chilly temperatures, students walked all over campus and got to see the Campus Recreation Center and Mem orial Stadium as well as classrooms and, most importantly, Food Ser vice where they got to sample a typical college lunch menu.

ire Up

Always improving, even when most are sleeping.

By Natalia Schmidt

It's 5 a.m., and most of you are probably sleeping. Whether it's a Tuesday, Friday or even the summer, all weekdays cheerleaders are waking up and getting ready for practice. To be specific, summer practices are held Monday-Thursday. During the school year, usually Freshmen practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Junior Varsity practices on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Varsity practices on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 6- 7: 10 a.m. But, these practices vary sometimes. The cheerleaders are constantly working on chee rs, dances, jumps and more.While many of you may think cheerleaders only care about how their hair looks or about their makeup, that's where you're wrong.

Lincoln High's cheerleaders pu t sometimes blood, sweat and tears into performances or practices. During the summer, practice was usually held from 6 am to about 7:30. At prac tice cheerleaders stretch for about 5-10 minutes, then get straight to work. Every cheerleader has to memorize/perfect over 30 different cheers! That's not all they do at practice either, cheerleaders condition and run too ju st like any other sports team. They do things such as running stairs out on the football field, running 10 in 60s and conditioning things like sit ups/ push up s and more. Sophomore Logan Larsen said, "You get really fit in the summer and th er e' s a lot of running going on, a lot of push ups, a lot of stairs, but i think overall it' s gr eat for the season." Almost everyday, cheerleaders also ran a mile on the track and if everyone didn't make it under 10 minutes, they would normally run it again . . Even if they condition, all the cheerleader's enjoy working as a team and improving at practices. But all of the hard work they put in pays off. This year at state, Lincoln High lo st second place by .04 points! But, no matter what the score sheet says, they are always winners. From the freshmen to the seniors, all cheerleaders support their school and work for success. The cheerleaders have a bond that can't be broken. Freshman Arianna Sommers said, "Joining the cheer team made me learn to be more accepting to meet new people and show my.personality more at cheer and in school." Becoming a member of the team really will ~e., '-' 1: 3 Above (L-R): Jada Nungesser (12) and Maria have a positive outcome. They strive for greatness and never look back.

Illusion Theatre teaches the students of LPS what to do in situations dealing with bullying

By Mae Za trow

Around 10,000 to 14,000 students a year are taught how to prevent bullying teen violence and how to prevent sexual abuse through Illusion The atre 's project T.R.U.S.T. The acronym T.R.U.S.T. stands for Teaching and Reaching Using Students and Theatre. And this is what the program does.

"Th e most impactful thing that happened was at a middle school where this 8th grade girl came up to me," junior Illusion Theatre member Lejla Klipic said. "I was with my friends, and we were about to go change into our [group] shirts because we just gotten off the bus, and she saw our performance before, and she thank~d us and said she was going through a hard time and was really glad to know that there are people that realize that this [bullying] is a problem and want to help her. And she told us how she was going to get some help and was really thankful to have us there," While things like this happen at performances, she also said, "There are those kids in high chool that act like they don 't want to be there."

The Illusion Theatre program, that has been at Lincoln High since 1993, consists of several projects. Artistic director Molly Thomas selects 11 students through an audition process held in February. They meet during seventh and eighth periods during the first semester. This allows them to travel to different

elementary, middle, and high chool , preading awarene and letting kids know that they are not alone. Besides preading awareness, Lejla said that another goal was, "bonding with each other, and realizing some things in our elve ." This season the theatrical group wa able to travel to quite a few different schools that included Huntington Elementary and Northeast High School. Lejla said that they are able to "get to know the kid a bit more and understand," the situations that the kids are going through.

"You make friends with people in the group. There are people I would have never talked to or approached, because I was always a shy and clo ed off per on. But doing Illusion Theatre I realized these people are great, and I'm o glad to meet them. And I'm so glad to know them," said Lejla, when I asked her what he enjoyed about being a part of Illu ion Theatre.

"I see them in the hallway and we don 't have any cla e together, but we ask each other how we'r e doing." At the end of the interview, Lejla said that the best part of being in Illu ion Theatre was "when the little kids come up to you and they're just so happy to see you. And that's a really great memory, and I have like a tory for each kid almost, and I feel like I know them." Illusion Theatre is making a positive impact one chool at a time.

No t ma ny people recognize the in ten ity of Marching Band, Colorguard, and the Drumline. There are months of practicing in ord er to get their routines and routes done ju t perfectly to work like a welloiled machine. There are many hours they put in outside of chool to practice the music, and the crazy sum me r schedule in ord er to keep up.

Not many people realize they take time in the scalding ummer to practice their art, it's a sport in it own. Not to mention their heavy uniform that make them look professional and represent our chool.

Ou r band has done us proud by getting a Superior at Di trict .

Marching Ban d is a passion, an art, it's a lifestyle filled with weat and whole lot of dedication. It's a family in its own, filled with bus rides and having over a hundred and fifty kids running around the band room making sure their suits are on properly before their performance. They have the school spirit for those who don't, and they play it loud and they play it proud, because when they are not performing on the field, they're in the stands at pep rallies and games entertaining the crowd and giving us the music that often gets stuck in our head .

Dedication and hard work doe n't eve n begin to describe the effort these students put in to make our school filled with pride. The time they take out of class to practice and during their sum me r ju t to to impre s us during the halftime of footba11 games. Marching Band, Colorguard, and Dru mli ne isn't ju ta band; but it' a team, it' a sport.

PO MALJNKS Neue,, nti.u achance to -Vance Every person has a special talent of their own, but these girls work together as a group to bring their great dancing talent together and pull off an awesome show. Pomalinks grows and get new members every year when seniors leave and new freshmen come into Lincoln High which keeps the team energetic.

"We get different members every year, and it's just really interesting to see how the dynamic changes and how they find their place on the team, senior Pomalink Macy Behrens said. "In the beginning of the year you can't really predict like how freshmen are, what they're going to contribute, and things like that." Behrens added. She has been part of the Pomalinks team for 3 years and is also part of the 1B program. Behrens also dances at Universal Dance Academy outside of school. She teaches and works there and is thinking about trying out for the dance team at UNL. Pomalinks perform at each football and basketball game so they're really busy but love the passion of dancing. They also get the chance to dance or perform with other dancing groups as well. As a team the girls fit together and contribute with each other as well as having new members every year. So if you love dancing and having fun, joining the Pomalinks may be a great choice for you.

Even by being the only male dancing group in the LPS district, these boys always find a way to impress the audience.

"Ground Zero represents Lincoln High in a way," senior Ground Zero member Ernesto Maldonado said.

"It's really artistic through our talents to show other people and other schools in other areas that Lincoln High is really diver e school because of our di verse team and to show that Lincoln High also has people who have special ta]ents,"he aded.

Maldonado has been part of Ground Zero for two year - his sophomore and his senior year. His favorite part of being in Ground Zero is that he' s able to express himself through dancing and being around other people. In his future after college he would want to be a music producer and a music manager and maybe still stick with dancing.

But the great thing about this male dancing group i that it's not only about pulling stunts and also just about dancing, these boys dance in a way they express their feelings through a way of art.

Sometimes the student council is a forgotten part of Lee said, "the Respect Campaign was perfect Lincoln High. Senior Han Lee said, "W e are trying to timing with the election. After the election there was represent the student body as much as possible. We a lot of confusion. We hope to make people feel like want to interact more with the student body because they are home and that they belong here. Student not a lot of people know what we are doing. We are Council members came up with the idea of the trying help the student voices be heard, and to get Respect Campaign three years ago. The campaign is them involved in activities." to raise awareness about people because sometimes Junior Nathan Versaw said, ""O ur goal is to as high school students it's hard. Students are busy create a positive impact on the school. We want to with honors classes, work, and after school activities. spread a positive image so others spread the positive So we don't have time to slow down and sometimes image as well. In all it will bring a better image of we don't pay that much attention to each other. I feel our school throughout the community we want the like this campaign is a great idea because we have whole community to look at the school in a better that opportunity to let people know that we care way. We have aorta a bad rap that isn't necessary and about them. I expect that people realize that there are a lot of what we do is focused on bettering the people around us who come from other countries school, bettering the student body, and bettering who may feel left out, and sometimes we don't know ourselves." how to interact with others who are not like us."

One of the larger events Student Council did this Besides the Respect Campaign, Student Council year was the Respect Campaign which was to make also does other events throughout the school year. the student body aware of the people around them Some of the events included the battle against that they may not have noticed before. The Respect paddles, lunch bunch, prom, homecoming, and the Campaign was three weeks long. The first week was students of the month. Versaw said, "some of the multicultural week.and making students aware of events we do are larger than others and some are how di verse the student body is, and at the end of the smaller. Some of the stuff we have done was week students were encouraged to wear traditional intended to make the student body feel better. We clothing from where they are from.

HEADLINES & DEADLINES

all about the

The Links and Advocate tackle this year's current events!

You don't know stress until you are a part of The Links Yearbook staff or on the Advocate newspaper staff. Stress is meeting deadlines and finishing spreads because in Yearbook and in Advocate people read your homework, people pay for your homework. It's al1 about pleasing your peers, but it's also doing what you love.

The yearbook editor-in-chief, junior Tessa Wiser said, "Yearbook has kind of taken over my life, but I love it. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I mean over the summer I went to this camp at UNL that focused on journalism and I spent a solid 12 hours a day for three days discussing yearbook with others who shared my pa sion. It was quite possibly my favorite thing I have ever experienced."

At the camp they di cussed everything from layout design and what is happening on the page and different stylistic approaches to how to make sure as many people are cited in the book as possible. "This is my second year of doing yearbook, and I just wish I would've joined sooner. I love my staff and appreciate all the hard work and dedication they put in in order to create this book," Wiser explained. The Yearbook and Advocate staffs come in on variou Saturday mornings to work on their projects to make sure they are complete before they need to be ent to the printer.

"Time is the enemy; we never have enough of it!"

Wiser stated as time comes to an end and no matter what shape it's in, it must go to the printer in order to be printed on time. Deadlines are not their friends.

The strength and dedication that the e taffs deal with and the effort they put in is incredible. They sacrifice their time after school day in day out to make sure they can meet their deadline , going in at lunch, using weekends, and staying up late ju t to produce a thorough product that they will be proud of and get to show off to friends and peer .

"This year's yearbook theme is Red Letter Day which means best day ever," Wi er explain . "I got the idea at the NHSP A Journalism camp at UNL, and I thought the cover wa really punny becau e it' a letter jacket, but a red letter jacket," Wiser stated.

Yearbook and Advocate work hand in hand, but a lot of people don't realize that it is two eparate classes and staffs. The Advocate produce four different student-done school magazine every year whereas yearbook only produces one huge product a year; "Honestly, I don't know what I'd do with out the lovely Advocate staff. They've made this proce s o much easier! I love them just as much as I Jove my own staff," W ier said.

out of Time The Girls Cross Country

Tearn Goes To State This year's Girls Cross Country team had many great moments, fun memories, and exciting times. In order to do cross country, you have to have a passion for running, because these athletes had to run ffi\les every weekend in order to make Lincoln High proud, and they did with their accomplishments, including making district. Sophomores Lily Reineke, Lizzie Frey, and Johanna Schubert; juniors Cassidy Healey, and Mabry Brank; and seniors Cody Selvage, Mia Sharpnack, and Zoe Arnold all made it to state. Reineke placed twelfth at districts, Schubert placed ninth, and Frey placed sixth.

By Cooper Hick Some newbies to the team like fre hman Meghan Bade enjoyed the sea on and talked about their favorite moments. "I didn't make fir t, but I made a lot of time improvement ," Bade explained. Another newbie, junior Nerea Zarragoitia Goirigolzarri who is a foreign exchange student from Spain, said her favorite moments were competing with other athletes from other school . Many members of the team were happy and impressed with their time improvement .

Although not everyone may have placed where they wi hed, it wa till a good team and even better ea on. At the end of the day thi cro s country team gave it their all.

Sorry, Gotta Boys Cross Country runs to State While the girls finished running their race, the boy lined up at the start. For freshmen Anthony Lacy and Colin Henshaw, this is their third year. Senior Kody Hackbart has been running for more than 4 years. Many members are proud of their placements during races and many are also proud of their improvements.

Many showed their talents during the final 2.5 mile race in Pioneers Park. During this final race, students from cities and towns all around Lincoln came, including schools in Omaha such as Millard North. The dirt and cement track takes them on a winding 2.5 mile path through the park. It all starts with the firing of the starter's pistol.

"I usually placed around eightieth overall, and I ran Junior Varsity, but my favorite part was probably meeting new people and having a fun time hanging out with them," freshman Colin Henshaw explains. Henshaw plans on joining Lincoln High' s Cross Country team in the future years to come. ~

By Cooper Hicks Senior Kody Hackbart has been running for LHS for four years now, and it will be a loss seeing him graduate. "For Lincoln High I placed first a few times. My personal best time-wise was twenty minutes and fifteen seconds," Senior Kody Hackbart said. He has had some great memories with his four years he spent with the team, "[My favorite memory was] freshman year I lost my shoe while running in Pioneers Park and I had to backtrack a bit and I lost a bit of time, but I ended up finishing the race." And with the muddy tracks he showed Lincoln High spirit! Hackbart will miss "chilling with friends before the meet and listening to music with them," becau e he has met so many good friends among this team.

As the boys took off at state, junior Dominic Vavala and ophomore Peter Cuddy qualified making the high proud and excited for these runners. Vavala placed 13th, and Cuddy placed 7th, yet again, making the high proud!

By Makenna Heiden This ye ar 's Varsity Football team had a rough start, kicking of f the season by losing the first three games of the season. This year the seniors had to step up to the plate and take on the roles of being the leaders to the younger guys. That is exactly what they did, on and of f the field. They le d the team to the playoffs by working hard over the past four years, choosing football over anything else, and acting right in school and on their schoolwork.

Their most difficult loss ended up being in the playoffs against Bellevue West, who ended up being the state champs. It was a disappointing lo s, but the team played really well that game. We all came together and played against one of the highest tiered teams in the state. "We di dn 't let our guards down and di dn 't get blown out, we stayed together as a family and stayed together and fought them," senior running back Dajon Thomas said.

"I was really proud of their effort," explained coach Mark Macke. The thing is knowing that it was the seniors' last game and last chance to make it somewhere in their football career it was really special for the team to make it to the playoffs. Six players made all conferences.

"I would describe the season as a work-in-progress. We started slow and finished strong," senior outside linebacker and team captain Anthony Magor said.

"We started out 0-3, and it was challenging. We could have

Reconstructing the football p r o g r a m and w in n in g along the w a y given up, could have taken it and tanked the season, but you know we came back and we ended up playing really well after that," Magor said. The Links football did ju st that with going on a five game winning treak after losing their first three games.

They also brought the program to the playoff for the first time since 2004 when they al o lost to Bellevue West. The Links football program once again played against Bellevue West in the state playoffs.

"I think we will get better by just notching the mentality up and the level of confidence up, and we had a lot of younger people up on our team this year and their level of confidence w as n' t that good. I think we will be great next year," junior wide receiver and team captain Zion Perry said. The Lincoln High football program did end up having many younger players on the team including 19 sophomores and 15 juniors playing major roles at the varsity level. The team is young and has a lot of potential to build of f of this. last season to become even better than before.

"The best part of the season was that we got better every game, some weeks better than other , but we ended up as a pretty good football team," said coach Macke. In the end they did our school proud, winning the Homecoming game, and making the playoffs. This was a team that showed Lincoln High spirit.

"My favorite tournament was my first one because I shot and 81. That was my lowest score all season," sai d Baylor. Curtesy Photo .

In Full This ye ar 's girls go lf team was very young. Seven out of the 11 girls were either freshmen or sophomores. With such a young team there is sometimes a lack of confidence in the ability to do well at tournaments, but some of the older girls on the team helped to show the youngsters that they could do well.

"O ne of my favorite moments of the season was when my team played the Lincoln High scramble. My teammates really bonded and we had a lot of fun," explained ju ni or Chloe Baylor.

Junior Sarah Smith said, "M y favorite moment of the season was when we got second at the LHS scramble."

"M y favorite tournament was the scramble tournament hosted by Lincoln High. It was very rel~xed and fun because you work with your teammates and there is not as much pressure on everyone," explained sophomore Emily Smith.

At the HAC (Heartland Athletic Conference) Baylor and Smith placed in the top ten out of 45 girls. Baylor placed fifth and Smith placed eighth.

Coach Larry El wood explained, "This is a very talented and special group of players. They practice hard and have always given their best in competitions. They are great teammates for one another and continue to get better."

This season there were no state qualifiers, but Chloe Baylor was one stroke away from going to be able to participate in the state tournament. The goal for next season will be having a least one state qualifier since the team had someone so close to be qualified for state.

The Girls G o lf team puts in effort fo r a w in n in g season

By MacKenzie Pierson "Lincoln High Districts were really hard this year," Baylor said.

"Golfers needed to be in the top 10 to qualify or their team needed to be in the top 3. I got 11th place this year. I missed going to state by one stroke which was very discouraging, but I am determined to make it next year," Baylor said.

This season the team made vast improvements and strides throughout the season. Everyone grew as individuals, which made the team better as a whole.

Emily Smith explained, "Since it was my second year on the team, I feel like I was much more comfortable going into meets and tournaments. I feel like the team improved in the way that we worked on staying positive throughout the entire round."

Contrary to most beliefs sports are way more than ju st physical; they are mental as well. G ol f is especially more mental than physical since players have to strategize how and where they want to place the ball, and they have to be able to stay focused after a challenging hole.

Baylor said, "Golf is all mental. You have to stay very focused and keep your head in the game, but you also need to sometimes loosen up and relax. If you can find a balance between fun and focused then that's when you play your best golf."

"G ol f is entirely a mental game," Emily Smith said. "It depends on the player 's ability to keep cool under pressure and mentally push themselves to be the best they can be. There is a lot of strategy involved in it, which means that you have to be mentally engaged throughout the round in order to play well. It requires immense concentration."

Coach Simpson explained, "I loved how coachable they were this year." The JV softball team this year had lots of freshmen and sophomores with not much experience. Coach Lisa Thie ssen explained, "To improve as much as they did shows the determination of the players."

Both teams improved in many skill s. Varsity got to take home the first place plaque from the Omaha tournament. Simpson said, "The

Expectations Boys Tennis makes str on g

showing at State When most people think of sports they think of a group of people playing on a court or field together working towards a single goal, or a single person pitting themselves against an opponent. Tennis is a combination of both.

The Lincoln High Varsity Tennis Team may be composed of hard working individuals, but they use teamwork to try to accomplish their goals.

"My favorite part of being on the team is just the overall environment," junior Ethan Bruha said. "Most of us have been playing together for awhile now, so we can count on each other and push each other to become better. " Junior Alex Hamann talked about the team's goal for the season. "Last year we had a really strong team, but three of the six of us graduated, which led many- to believe we weren 't nearly as good as we had been.

• Therefore this year the hope was to come close to matching the suGcess of last year."

Some of the other goals the team had for this year were to have a winning record in duals, try to win some medals and plaques, and to place in the top ten in State. The sea on was a successful one. The team went 5-4 in duals versus other schools, won 2nd at the Bellevue

ByMacKenziePierson West tournament, and won 1st at the North Star Invite. The team was also seeded in every division at State. Ethan Bruha placed 10th and Pablo Souto placed 11th overall in singles.

Alex Hamann and Garrett Brockman placed 7th for doubles.

Hamann explained, "State was pretty good.

Every.one wa seeded, and we all won our first round matches which was the first time that had happened for Lincoln High in several decades. We got our third top ten finish of the last three years, and Garrett and I were a win away from medaling, but ended up getting seventh."

Most of the guys and Coach Sandberg agreed that the best part of the season were the van and bus rides to and from duels and tournaments. The bus rides were so much fun because the guys would roast each other. The guys agreed that the best part was when then Coach Sandberg would join in and roast teammates.

The one person that got the brunt of the roasts was Pablo Souto, the only fre hman on the team, and he was a pretty easy target for being the youngest on the team. Keep an eye on him in the future, though, and he might be the one doing the roasting.

Serve 'Em Up, Slam 'Em Down JV/Reserve Boys Tennis Team has a good season

By ThaDa Oo Having to play against your own teammate to determine what position you play is hard, but these boys didn't let that get to their head and supported each other through it all.

"All of the guys are super supportive of one another. These guys always make sure to root each other on and pump each other up when they are down," Coach Samantha Woog stated. And for these boys the seasons have been up and down but with each other's support they had an awesome seasons.

"Honestly, there was no one moment that stood out as my favorite, "junior Ethan Vanneman stated. "We had a lot of great matches and sure, winning was fun, however spending time with the team was what truly made this season awesome!" .

Winning this season was tough but the boys tennis team did it, with overcoming the physical and mental skill betting their toughest opponent such as Southeast coming back with an astonishing victory from 2-5 to 7-5.

"My favorite moment this season was when I played doubles with An Dang and we were down 5-2. Coach Woog gave us a talk saying it's okay if

But a common thing that mo t people on the team look forward to i to move up in the rank , and to have another good eason.

This team sure know how to show what a Red Letter Day is to them, with their po t meet treats of ice cream, the laugh , the memorie , and the inside jokes. The e friend ure know how to have a good time and bond to become a clo e knit group of friends, a family.

Having a couple of home game lo e did stop these boy from from putting all the effort out there because the dedication and hard work shows when they did not lose a ingle of their away games.

Varsity's victories and comebacks

By MacKenzie Pierson

To say that the season went well for the varsity volleyball team this year is an understatement. They won more games this season than the past three seasons combined.

"I think the best part of the season for the team was when we got our first win, senior Kaelin Wubbles said. "We all knew there was a team feeling that brought us all closer.

Every time we scored there was an adrenaline rush and we were so loud on and off the court. It was a lot of fun to see so much pride and hope in our team," Wubbles added.

No matter the sport every team has their str~ngths and weaknesses. When asked it was unanimous that the team's weakness for this season was whenever they were down a few points they put themselves into a hole which made it hard for them to come back from. But the team's strengths included good communication and the willingness to never give up.

"The team's strength was th_at we never gave up and we encouraged each other," senior Madison Swinnerton said.

"Our greatest strength was that we never quit playing," Wubbles said. "We played a

lot of tough games but no matter what school or what the score was we kept playing and trying. We never gave in and we never gave up on each other."

Varsity was also able to beat Fremont every time they played them this season.

Coach Megan Christensen said, "It is very hard for team to repeatedly beat a team that they played three or four times in one season within weeks of each game."

Another big accomplishment of the season was during the first day of the Heartland Athletic Conference (HAC) tournament at Lincoln Southwest on October 25th, the Links took the third set from Southwest which motivated the team to finish out the season on a good note.

"My favorite moment was when we beat Fremont at Fremont," senior Jorja Francis said. "The atmosphere was really intense, and watching us come together as a team to pull a win from that close of a game was a great feeling to have as an athlete. I also really enjoyed taking a set from Southwest.

They are a tough team every year and I was proud to us continually work hard throughout the game, Francis added.

Varsity Girls Basketball

By Naomi Rodriguez To the varsity girls basketball team, basketball isn't just a sport; it's a passion. Many of these girls have been playing soccer, volleyball, ice skating, and many other sports since early elementary but 'basketball has always stuck with them.

"It's just something I'm passionate about," varsity senior Kalli Novak said. "I always have been. I just can't explain it."

This year JV and Varsity girls got a whole new coaching staff.

Novak says the coaches brought a new feeling to the team this year.

"They're good leaders, they help us out and they know what they're doing," Novak said. "When they're in a good mood then we're in a good mood, and it's just everyone feeds off of each other. They bring good energy to the team."

To Coach Marcus Perry the feeling is mutual. He loved being able to see the girls grow as individuals and as a team. Perry used to coach for boys basketball, but he found this year that he loves working with the girls more. "It's a little different when I get out there and play with them," Perry said. "Because I can't be as aggressive as I can with the guys, but as far as the chemistry and being around them, yeah I love the girls."

This year the girls ended their season with a record of 10-14.

All of the.varsity players, including the coach, say their best and most fun game to play was for sure against Lincoln Northeast.

Lincoln High and Northeast have always been rivals, but the competitiven~ss this year was at a whole other level.

Two of our juniors on Varsity this year are transfers from Northeast - Mariah Cates and Sirila Herrera - which made the girls ready to play their hardest for this specific game. Cates, a former rocket, said this about the Northeast game. "I would say the best game we've played was the Northeast game, it was hype and so we were all excited and we played really well," Cates said. "We played together-as a family and competed with the number two team in the state." Varsity's own sophomore Briley Phillip said this about the Northeast game. "We all worked hard together. We didn't win, but we put a lot of effort into that game." At the end of the game, we only lost by three points against the number two team in the state.

The girls will for sure be putting in work during the off season to get ready to beat the Rockets next year.

The Varsity girls can all agree that their favorite part of the season was being able to bond with each other on and off of the court. They loved going to team dinners.

"It's just fun being around my teammates and laughing and stuff," Novak said. "We.just connect really well. we feed off of each other and everybody's super funny and it's fun to have everybody laughing. We can be serious but we can also be goofy; it's a good atmosphere."

Varsity girls didn't make it to state this year, but they definitely put their all into every game and practice. No matter what, the girls will always be a family on and off the court.

Varsity Boys Basketball The Lincoln High Varsity Boys Basketball Team experienced various levels of success during this season ending with a 6-18 record. Head coach Dan Noble said, "T he season felt like a rollercoaster. There were times that we showed flashes of what we could truly be, but we were inconsistent throughout the year."

Noble also added that "P art of it was our youthfulness.

Part of it again was adjusting to a Class A schedule - our schedule was one of the toughest in the state which could be good for preparing you for a state tournament." The Links varsity team experienced many tough opponents throughout the district during this season. Junior starting guard Sammy Richardson said, "W e jus t need to come together and play together as a team and play like brothers."

Th e varsity boys started off the season with a 1-3 record, winning their second game of the season at North Platte High School. The Links then went on a 3-1 record winning their games against Lincoln North Star School,

Lincoln Southwest High School and Fremont High School during the first round of the Heartland Athletic Conference Tournament.

The Varsity team then lost against Lincoln East High School in the second round. The Links then went on another 1-4 run winning big against North Platte once more and losing a close one against Lincoln Southeast. The Links then went on a 10 hard-fought game losing streak losing many close ones before pulling together and making an incredible victory against heavily favored PapillionLavista South High School before the District Tournament game against Nebraska Kearney.

The Varsity team was a very young team this season with no seniors, five juniors and the rest being promising sophomores on their fourteen-man roster. This youthfulness brings the potential for the for the whole team to return next season which will help the team to be able develop more and come back stronger than ever.

Junior guard Jih~d Muhammad said he plans to "go to the gym to get stronger, start shooting a lot more, and keep grinding and working towards next season." Muhammad also added, "As a team, everybody will jus t need to buy in.

Everybody will have to come together, not be selfish with the ball and jus t buy into the season." The Links will continue their journey next season with a promising team with great expectations.

Slam D u n k Go Hard, Or Go Home

By Naomi Rodriguez Freshman, Reserve and JV basketball this season was definitely filled with its share of good and bad games. Freshman JV player Jaxson Barber says the best game the boys JV basketball team played was against Omaha Westside.

"I say that because we had a lot of people out that game but we were still able to win." JV ended their season with a record of 7-13. Freshman Davis Buchanan says the best game the Freshman basketball team played was against Southeast because, "We played as a team, we played hard, and we won."

Freshman boys loved messing around during practice, even though they ended up having to run because of it.

"In practice we just have a lot of fun, we mess around even though we have to run a lot of ten in 60s (ten down and backs in 60 seconds). But we still get a lot of work done," Buchanan said.

Many of the freshman players can agree that their favorite moments of the season were the bus rides to away games. Seth McKeighan says this about the team bus rides, "It was fun making jokes with everybody, just getting ready for the game and having fun." • Freshman Myles Kroll says this about his most memorable moment of the season. "My favorite moment probably would've been the bus ride back from Freemont. We were all really happy because that was one of our best games we played."

Reserve' s very own Josiah Hein said his most memorable moment of the season was "Definitely winning the first round of the city tournament. We

were going on like a 19-game losing treak, and it was just a really big lift up to get that win in the first round."

All the teams had their downfalls thi year, but everyone definitely had their highlights during the season! Hein says his best game was again t Lincoln Southeast.

"I just feel like I played really solid defen e, I didn't get scored on, I got a lot of rebounds and I scored. I just played overall a good game. " Freshman Jordan Gutierrez says this about hi best game. "The best game I've played wa against Lincoln Christian because I scored 15 points in that game."

A big problem for the freshman boys thi year was definitely their attitudes. They all feel that if the team had better attitudes they might have won many more games.

"We'r e okay. We have some problem that we could probably fix, like our attitudes. Our attitudes aren ' t very good on the team," Kroll said. Even though the freshman boy had some issues they have a lot of potential. Jordan Gutierrez says this about his team. "I feel like we could play better as a team, but we' re good and we' re talented. I think next year is going to look better than this year."

In comparison, freshman Jamison McConnell said, "We're a good team, we just weren ' t really working as a team throughout mo t of the sea on.

I feel like if we worked together we probably could' ve taken city." The Freshman boys ended the season with a memorable record of 5-7.

Take It Lincoln High Wrestling Team It was a great season for Lincoln High' s wrestling team this year! This year, Lincoln High had four wrestlers go to state: freshman Jackson Okereke, sophomore Marcel Austin, sophomore Isaiah Alford, and senior Mohammed Majid.

Jackson Okereke was the only freshman wrestler to make it to state this year. "It surprised me at first, because I didn't know I would make it, so yeah it just felt good," Okereke said. Alford felt a similar way. "It was a big accomplishment making it after freshman year only losing by a point and coming back my sophomore year to actually medal, so I felt really good about being there," Alford said.

"My favorite moment of the season was wrestling varsity my first meet after breaking my shoulder." freshman Malachi Hopkins sai~. To medal at state, a player has to win at least two matches.

"My favorite moment was when I won my second match at state because I medaled," Austin explained. Each player had their individual favorite moment, but they also just loved being around each other during the season "Probably just being around my teammates the whole time and hanging out with them."

Many of the boys who are involved in wrestling today have been wrestling since they were little boys. When first trying out wrestling they didn't expect anything good. they actually thought they were going to be pretty bad at it, but to their surprise they weren't bad.

"I tried basketball a couple of times," Austin said. "Wasn't my thing. I was trash at it. and then my seventh grade year I decided to try wrestling too and then I ended up being really

good at it. I wasn't club good but I was still pretty good, like I was still winning a bunch of matches." Everyone ha definitely been putting in a lot of work to get to where they are now.

Of course the team had some downfalls but they never let it show on the day of a meet. Many of the boys could agree that the attitudes on the team had a big impact. Au tin aid thi about his team. "People who were there to work did what they had to do but, there were a few people that acted childi h and that would stop the practice and we would have to run."

The team had a lot of fun during the season. "So everytime we go to a hotel for a wrestling tournament the coache would get us subway sandwiches or something like that and they put funny names on there. So they called me 'Alfred ' or 'Alfredo ' or something like that. And I think they called Marcel 'pretty boy' or something like that. So yeah that was probably one of my favorite moments," Alford explained.

All sports tend to go by a saying that keeps them motivated and gives them something to work for. Our wre tling team goes by a couple. One example is, "buy in." Alford explained what that means, "if you're buying into the program that' believing in everything the coaches have set for us, listening to what they have to tell us." Another common saying is "Family" which is also what the boys go by. "You really can' t do anything without them upstairs helping us train," Alford said. Also "get with the program" was a big one. "Get with the program basically just means stick to it, keep doing what you're doing, listen to the coaches and you 'll accompli ha lot," Austin said.

Stri-ke. three pitching leads us to success "This is the deepest Lincoln High baseball team we have had in recent years. This encourages 'competition amongst the players to go out and earn a starting spot and keep it throughout the season. Look for a lot of Links to contribute to a successful year for our team." Said head coach Dan Beckmann.

Varsity opened the season with a very tough schedule, four out of the first five games were against teams ranked in the top ten.

"We came out and competed at a high level and had an opportunity to win each one of those games" Said coach Beckmann.

"Our pitching will be the strength of this team throughout. We have 4 returners starters from last year, and also brought up our two best JV pitchers from last season. We will have a chance to win in each game we play because of the outings we will have on the mound" Coach Beckmann also said.

That is exactly what we did through the season, there were many times on twitter where LHS Baseball posted, for example "Winners of a 9-2 ballgame!

Zack Heiden throws a solid game on the mound. 1

Hitter!" or another one," Colin Vrba earns his first Varsity victory and Cameron Wynne his 1st Varsity Save!"

As long as they can not hit the ball they can not scqre. Sometimes the ball slips, or the umpire is just unfair, we might not be able to stop them from never getting on base but, "We have players who have some serious pop when they hit the ball solid, and we want to take advantage of that" again said Beckmann.

"The best part about baseball is seeing the brothers everyday, I love baseball" Said Junior Zack Heiden "The relationships I get to build with all players 9-12.

It is amazing to see how these student athletes grow and develop info outstanding young men by the time they are Seniors" said Beckmann.

The relationships you get to build and grow with throughout the years are amazing, so don't miss out on relationships that can last a lifetime, while along the way playing a sport you love, and making the program a success to make LHS proud.

Giving it Links Bowling team is closer than ever The 2016-2017 school year was the first year Unified Bowling was a sport offered to high school students. Along with the unified be,wling, Lincoln High and many other high schools have a bowling club which isn 't sanctioned through the high schools. People often do n't hear about the bowling club because it' s not a big sport like basketball, football or other sports like that.

The first year out the unified bowling team took 5 bowlers to state. Those bowler were seniors Noah Thiessen and Kea Swetland, juniors Mason Pierce and Abigail Parish, and sophomore Brianna DeWater. Those students were picked to go to districts by the Coach Lisa Thiessen because she could only chose 5 bowlers who she thought would do well at districts and state.

Lincoln Hi gh 's Bowling club also took all their teams to state. This is the first time in 12 years that the Lincoln High Varsity Girls have been to state and the first time in nine years the Varsity Boys have been to state.

Although things got difficult at state for both unified bowling and bowling club, at least they tried their hardest throughout the sea on and at districts and made it as far as state . Even doing that can be difficult.

Varsity Girls on the club ide of bowling went 6-5 for the season and Varsity Boys 4-8 for the season. It was a tough

By Angelica Phillips season but they gave it all they got in districts and got 2nd so they could move onto state. Girls got 4th so they could move onto state . .

The team became really clo e and had some good memories.

Sophomore Monica Pester said, "My favorite memory was becoming really close with the team and at Links Challenge they put in Monica Pewter instead of Pester and so every time I got a good shot the team said PEW! PEW!" "My favorite part about being part of the team was the team becoming like sisters and being able to help out the people who were new to bowling. I al o look forward to helping newcomers next year," freshman Brynna Madison said.

The toughest team for Girls Varsity was probably North Star. Freshmen KayLynn Qliver said, "North Star was a tough school for us girls to compete against because they have a lot of really good bowlers, but we did come close to them and only lost by 1 point because we kept each other happy and made sure we worried about how we were doing and not about how they were doing."

The toughest team for the boys was Fremont. "They have won state 5 years in a row and all their boys average at least 200 plus and last year 2 of their boys shot 300s against us."

Senior Noah Thiessen said.

Family Girls soccer leads to success The season officially kicked off over spring break and the Varsity girls started their season 3-0 and were the champions in the 2017 Northwest Varsity soccer tournament.

"This season I feel really confident in, we have a good group of girls that are willing to put in the work necessary and win or lose are still trying to get better!" Said Sophomore varsity captain Lexus Church.

The captains, Cameron Rutsay, Lexus Church, and Lily Reineke, are very motivational and help the team come together to make the team a much better team, a team everyone would want to be a part of.

"All three of them are great leaders for the team, especially with such a young team." Freshman Ashley Heiden said.

Heiden also said, "Soccer was a great experience for me, and the relationships on the team were great, we are more like family , not jus t a team."

Thi soccer program is different than many. We create a great bond together, spending most of our

time with each other.

"I like going to pre-game dinner , and ju t hanging out with the team." Said freshman Lillian Wittmu .

"The be t part of occer sea on i being with the team and really growing together throughout the ea on! It's always a little rough in the beginning but in the end it's all worth all the effort put in." Church also said "I'v e been here for five year , and thi i the fir t time we have had a re erve team with me a head coach. I'm really excited for this year, and the amount of players we had participate." Said head coach Duane Johnson.

Thi year' Lincoln Hig h' girl occer ha three teams. The re erve and Junior Varsity team both have around twenty players. The var ity team ha fifteen players, including six freshmen, and not a ing~e senior.

Although such young diver e team , we all come together to make the girls soccer program proud.

What's B e tt e r Than a Ball an d a Field ?

Being on a varsity team from the beginning of your freshman year is anyone's wish who loves soccer. Marco Mendez is a senior here at Lincoln High and yes, has been on the varsity team since his first year of high school.

Mendez has been playing since his 6th grade and been on club or indoor teams. At the beginning of the season he got injured on his left leg and could n't play for a while. Boys soccer this year had so many boys from different grades try out out with conditioning going on as well. The varsity team had a rough start at the beginning of the season by not winning as much, but believe they can change that around and work hard.

Junior Varsity though has been taking a lot of wins and are really confident for this school year's season. "My expectation is to

By Natalia Maldonado

have a positive record and a winning season," sophomore Chris Izaguirre said. He first started off in the Junior Varsity team in his 9th grade.

This year he tried out to make it up to Varsity and plays center defensive mid and center attacking mid. Chris says he likes playing these positions becau se he likes to be part of defense to prevent goals and also to attack so he can score or cause goals.

As a kid he developed a passion for soccer through his brother and has been playing ever since. Our LHS athletes take their soccer games seriously, and when they lose they know to work hard and practice harder for their next game. The great thing about the Lincoln High Soccer teams is that the student athletes support each other both on and off the field. "Nothing is better than just a ball and a field," Izaguirre said. ~ Below: Varsity boys go over their

To Girls Track team lifts each oth er up The goal in track is not to beat others, but to beat yourself. Earning personal records and season records may not earn you a spot on varsity, but it'll earn respect on the team.

Three-event state qualifier sophomore sprinter Angel Tran, has learned a lot about the attitude on the team.

"Last year it was really hard to make friends on the team, because you'r e really there for yourself," Tran said, "Everyone is competing against themselves . This year is different because we're all lifting each other up. People like Reme Brown make the season a lot easier: It's definitely about leadership, and setting the attitude for the team."

Being on the team, most athletes will never have a solidified spot on varsity until the District Meet arrives. Those who do, however, may still fight for their spot week after week.

This season, track and field has put in around 12.5 hours of practice per week as well as up to 12 hours at a meet, regardless of weather, air quality, schedules and holidays.

improve

"Running isn't always fun, but when you put in the work and see the progress, it's worth the pain," senior sprinter Reme Brown said.

Sophomore 3200-meter runner Lizzie Frey said, "We all work really hard and feed off of each other's determination.

That's what makes us the best."

The Links Varsity Girls Track Team displayed that determination week after week winning medals in each meet including medals in 11 different events during the Grand Island Track and Field Invite. Many of the Links even got personal records.

The team looks to make a difference the rest of the year during some of biggest meets of the year like the Lincoln Public School Championship, Heartland Athletic Conference Championship, and the District A-A meet which could propel many into the State Championships.

·Boys Track SPRINTING TOWARDS

By Natalia Schmidt

"I think a lot of the Lincoln High·track tea m's success has come from the work that we 've put in the off season," explained sophomore Passmore Mudundulu. Many of his teammates agreed. Track members started working as early as the beginning of March. From hitting the cardio room and weight room, to conditioning in the halls, track members were constantly putting in the work it takes to better themselves.

A lot of the track members enjoy being able to better themselves throughout the sea on, and they not only compete with their opponents, but also with themselves. Sophomore Joshua Lopez said, "The best thing about joining track is the competition, like not necessarily with everyone else that you 're competing against, but more of the competition with yourself.

Like for me I'v e always wanted to try new things, so I jus t decided to do pole vault one day, because it seemed interesting.

So I jus t went up and I tried it and now I'm jus t trying to compete with myself. There are a lot of good vaulters, but it's more of a competition with myself to see how high I can get."

Even though the y'r e competing with themselves a lot, they always have someone supporting them. The Lincoln High Track

Team is one big family, that is always there for one another.

Sophomore Marcel Austin , said "Even though it's an individual sport, I still feel like I'm apart of a big family."

This season their biggest opponent so far has been Omaha North. North beat Lincoln High's 4x100 team. Mudundulu explained, "They like to go out and compete, but so does Lincoln High, so it's gonna be a real show next time we see them."

This jus t goes to show the determination our track team has. They are always looking for ways to improve, and show it everyday. The work never stops, because even their better isn 't their best.

Mudundulu said, "I remember at a track meet when I got a new jumping PR (personal record) by 4 feet. Coach White wasn ' t impressed and told me to jump PR by 5 feet next time."

Now, you see that there is always something to work on.

Enough is never enough with our track program. They see what they want, go after it, and improve on it. You could definitely say our track team has grit.

Most of the boys have put in lots of hours already this year, even though the season has jus t started," Boys Go lf coach Larry Elwood said.

"W e have a good group this season that is working hard and I expect use to improve throughout the season."

Freshman Lewis Schultz said, "This is my first year playing golf. My brother and sister played , so I thought I should play too. I think our first two matches went really well. The first one we played 18 holes and the second one we played 9 holes."

Junior Ed Crouse Jr said, "This is my third year playing golf. I think my favorite part about gol f is going out and jus t playing. It is something that I really enjoy. " Crouse admits that his freshman year when participating in wrestling, he had a lot of anger. He thought gol f would be a good sport to work around it.

"I would definitely recommend gol f to others.

Go lf is kind of hard to learn and really hard for people to adjust to and figure out how to do it, but once you get the hang of it and keep playing, it is really enjoyable," Crouse said.

Sophomore Will Brandt said, "I have been playing gol f for about a year and a half now."

Sophomore Eli Rokke said, "I have been playing gol f for like a month." When asked why the boys wanted to play gol f, Rokke said, "I wanted to play gol f jus t because a lot of my friends were playing gol f and they said it was fun." As for Brandt he said, "Nothing made me want to play golf. I jus t

kind of tried it out and I liked it. " When asked what chool they want to play against Brandt said , "I want to go again t Southeast for sure." Rokke added, "Yeah, Southeast. We 're coming for them." Rokke and Brandt both agreed that they would ugge t playing gol f to others becau e it is a lot of fun for them and they make lots of friend .

Usually Rokke and Brandt have the same thing to say about gol f but when asked what their favorite part about gol f is Rokke aid , "I really like missing school." Brandt aid , "Hitting the ball is my favorite part." Brandt told us while laughing, "I think another thin g that I really like about gol f and being on a team with Eli is watching him miss the ball and him yelling 'practice swing' after it. That' hand down my favorite part about golf," Brandt joked.

Coach Elwood aid , "I would like to ee u e work to improve are individual scores and not worry about any one team or player." Coach Schultz said , "I would really like to improve a lot, because I'm not doing the greate t I could. I reaJly need to work on my iron." When asking Schultz if he would suggest playing golf to other he aid , " I think if you could find a group of friend to go with, that it would be really fun. I mean you could do it by yourself but I think if you ju t wanted to try it to go with a group of friend , that would make it easier and you could see if you actually like it."

Hit Us With Girls tennis team sets sites on the future Although the tennis season for just started, the girls have a lot to say. When asking the girls how long they have been playing tennis JV player Sophbmore A very Smith said, "I have been playing tennis since I was around eight or nine."

Sophomore Madalyn Brandt agreed with Smith adding, "I think I have been playing tennis for that long too, I have played on and off, then I stopped for a while but then picked it back up around 7th grade."

Smith's mother played tennis in high school, as for Brandt both her parents played tennis in high school. When talking about how they got into tennis Smith said, "It's kind of that thing where you don't know what sport to play and your mom is like 'go play tennis because I did it'." Brandt added in on what Smith was saying, she said "I was kind of in the same boat, my parents both played tennis so I kind of wanted to follow in their footsteps and try it while I was young."

"I want to play Southeast this year," said Smith, "I think this year we could beat them." Brandt agreed with Smith "That 's what I was thinking, each time we play Southeast, it's really close. The last two times, we've only lost by one match." The varsity coach Lisa Effie agreed with the girls.

"We are looking forward to going up against the state champions Lincoln Southeast. We also love beating North Star!" Effie said.

Senior Han Le said, "You have an individual part and a team part in tennis and it's just nice to see the team cheering

by Alexandria Mumgaard for you when you' re playing. I think that's my favorite part of tenni,s too." When Le talked about her tennis experience she said, "I have been playing tennis since I was 12, then I stopped for a c~uple years and I picked it back up last year, my junior year."

11 11 "I really want to play tennis after high school, Le said. ! actually want to go to UNL just because I thought it would be less expensive, but now I decided to go to Nebraska Wesleyan, because then I can play over there on a lower level, because UNL is DI division which is really competitive, like pro players. I'm a student athlete, I just want to play tennis and study at the same time so I can have a balance." said Le. Just like Brandt and Smith , Le said "I really want to play Southeast, because they are state champs. We just played them last week and compared to last year there were better results. Also I have learned when you play against a really good team you learn a lot. When going against a team like Southeast you learn a lot of lessons, you know what you need to improve on and they are really nice people so we have fun playing against them and we just learn a lot from their team."

Coach Effie said, "I've played tennis for 17 years. I played tennis in high school and college. I coached several different sports during my coaching career but found that I had the most 11 passion for tennis.

A After 108 years, it finally happened. The Chicago Cubs ended the longest championship drought in sports when they defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games to win the 2016 World Series. Naturally it wasn 't easy, as the Cubs became just the sixth team in baseball history to overcome a three-games-to-one deficit to do it_.
