s we move on, we look back at another year of high school, recalling the many important times: The footba 11 game that seemed to last a lifetime and secured East~ place in state competition; The night we spent reliving the SO's watching girls SWOOn over Conrad Birdie; The week we spent -iJ out of school recuperating from "The BI izzard of 97"; The months we spent and extra 50 minutes in school everyday to make LI p for that week of "vacation." Oh, the places we've been!

Everything that at one point in time seemed so important seems dwarfed as we move on to our new positions in life - freshmen in college, "newbies" in the work-force, seniors in hig a notch to sophomore or junior. The time we've Spent at East has lead us to a new view a

into better people and we can look back on our year and say "I did that!'' or "We were a great team,,, We remember the moments we never wanted to end and are glad we had them . We recall the situations we were put in and are proud of how we handled them. We see the people we were with and are glad to have known them.

Years will go by and people will grow old and move away, but we will always have shared this year together. We .cheered for the sam e teams •

\\'\<:twas really on everyone's mind at 2:20 Friday afternoon? Was it the daily math lesson; the quadratic equation? Was it the discussion about the latest book read ; the question of whether or not Beloved really ex istS ?Was it that interesting fact we learned in history about the existance of a second Liberty Bell? Or was it the question of where to go that night-and who else was going; if you had to work that night and until when?

we've lead !

Oh , the lives we've lead! Our weekdays were dedicated to school but our weekends were ours. From volunteering at a local ho spital or shelter to going out on the tOW n with a signific a nt other , some of the most memorable times were the Friday"and Saturday nights so carefully p Ian ned in the hal Is of East.

Nothing to do in

•Heck

we've got the longest street in the USA, "O"

if one would ask what East students did on the weekend they'd probably get many of the same answers: Movies, cruising "O", the mall It isn't uncommon to hear students complaining that there's not anything to do in Lincoln and there isn't anywhere for teens to go. However, there are some students who can be creative enough to have fun doing things that aren't so common as going to movies and cruising around.

"Lincoln's pretty boring. There's nothing to do here," said senior Sarah DelaBarre. Many students at East felt the same way. One improvement for some were teen nights at Guitars and Cadillacs and Temptations. Both clubs charge a cover, but also offer non-alcoholic drinks .

"When I went to Guitars I had a lot of fun, but I wish it wasn't just on Sunday , " said junior Steph Noble For the economical student there, just weren't a lot of choices for places to go. •

"I usually drive around with my friends until we find a party to go to or hang out at someone's house,"

street

Adrienne James said junior Jon Pokorny. For many East students the tale of their Saturday nights involved a lot of driving. From searching for people of the opposite sex on "O" street to looking for other things.

"One time last summer my friends and I went looking for ghosts around Lincoln. We thought we found one once, but it ended up being a homeless person," said sophmore David King.

Other students liked to be scared by more earthly means.

"I left a party with some friends this summer and we decided to drive by "The Rake" statue. I got so scared that I got cold chills," said junior Stacy Lemon.

For many students the out-of-theordinary was the most fun Pokorny also found that out.

"One thing that I did with my friends was to go Go-Karting in Waverly. Jessie Fardella ran Amy Stutzman off the road and it was really funny," said Pokorny.

Though Lincoln may not offer many activities for teens , somehow the Spartans come up with their own form of fun.

"Last summer, was my third year at the zoo. I was giving a demo on a legless lizard, when a kid said, 'It's scales are falling apart!' I looked and I thought it was too, and was afraid of killing it. It turns out that it was going to the bathroom."

"I volunteered at Walton Co. and the class was called, Spinning Wheels. It was about ninety-eight degrees outside and the dass was supposed to go on a thirty-two mile bike ride on the MoPac Trail with a bunch of twelve year olds."

8 Volunteering

"I got a bomb threat one time while I was volunteering at St. Elizabeth's hospital."

"Last year, Sara Fonferra and I were volunteering at Gateway Mall for the Salvation Army. Our job was to ring bells outside of the mall; to collect money from anonymous people. Then after a while, no one was donating any money. So we went inside to see if anybody else would donate. We went into L.A. Nails and started begging people for money.We looked stupid."

lcl9-ss is dismissed. Don't get too busy this weekend. Get plenty of sleep, so when you come back to school on Monday, everyone can put their brains back into first gear."

That's what many teachers tell their students on Fridays. But, the same advice holds true for teachers as well, especially those who volunteer. Many teachers, such as Jeff McCabe, put their brains into overdrive when it comes to volunteering. He helps judge and drive for the American Water-Ski Association. McCabe volunteered 16 hours a week during the summer season, and eight to 20 hours during the off-season. During his volunteering job, McCabe sometimes drives alongside the competitors to judge who will win. Whether judging or competing, he has seen regional records set and has also met some international top skiers. The main reason he volunteers, though, is to he l p teac h beginning water skiers to achieve their goals.

"As far as the volunteering part goes, great friendships have got to be the number one reason; to make new people feel welcomed;" he said. While McCabe enjoys watching competitors achieve their goals, East Counselor Jim Dymacek helps others try to reach their goals.

Dymacek volunteers at a recovery program called Mourning Hope. It is for family or friends of loved ones who have died. Dymacek helps counsel many people who keep their grief locked up inside themselves. He is there to help them l et their grief out. Dymacek became involved after the death of both of his parents. He, too, once used counseling to get over his own grief.

"I enjoy volunteering, Its given me good practice of skills over the years. I bring a different perspective of people's reaction to help others to lift their heads up again," h e said.

Helping others happens in all different forms and ways. For Math teacher Ji m Crew, volunteering at the Matt Talbot Kitchen is a way in which he enjoys helping ot h ers. He helps buy, prepare, and serve meals on Sundays.

"It's for the homeless, people with no money , ex-cons on parole, and generally people who are less fortunate," said Crew, when talking about who the kitchen serves. Crew has had good and bad experiences working there. He said it is good to see different perspectives and different walks of life. It reminds him how lucky he is. Sometimes , though, the reminder can be troubling.

"Once a guy was intoxicated and threatened to beat others up because he didn't have a pepper shaker next to him." But, he didn't let that get him down when reco mmending volunteering to oth~rs.

"There are lots of ways to volunteer and I encourage other peop l e to get involved," said Crew. •

Teachers have very busy lives, teaching, taking care of the home1 and having a social life, but many find time to help others. From water-skiing to counseli n g -to vo l unteering at a local kitchen, all of these jobs involve hard work, determination, satisfaction and of course fun!

The eft of the Time

East students showed their own personal flair for fashioon in their choices of clothing, accesories, piercing, and tattooing. Others showed their style styles of the year ranged from tight-flared "Polly Pants" (seen here) to "cords" to with their cars. No matter what anyone says they are all trends and will fade soon but for now they jeans. Colors wou Id range to the basic black to the brightest are what's hot!

greens, oranges, and yellows.

Bookbags aren't just for carrying books anymore. One of the new fashion statements is the bookbag and how wierd it can be.

Colorfu I barrettes are another form of sty I istic expression. Their plastic heads took the form of stars, hearts and geometric shapes to make someones hair a bit more interesting.

10 Things around Lincoln

Tattoos are becoming another fad. Student's are either waiting for their 18th birthday or they are getting their parents to go down to the tattoo shop with them. Senior Heather Bristol's love of running helped her decide exactly what to get when she decided on a tattoo

Necklaces ranged from beads to metal, fro~ hemp to wire. Shown here are some of the beaded necklaces. Necklaces 9idn't have to match the outfit exactly. Color was added to outfits by just adding a different colored necklace.

Shoes ranged from high top boots to heelless sand les . One of the most common features was the larger soles and the elevator shoe feel. Most shoes would extend a persons hight a good inch or more.

K irsten Brinkmeyer is one of the few around East to have her tounge pierced. Most get up just enough nerver for a few more holes in the ears or an eyeb,ow ring. Tounges seemed to be one of the least popular places (photo by : Josh In gersoll).

Style s of cars ranged from the extreme, customized, to the avoided, accident pr~ne look. Sarah Barry has been in three accidents to get that paint-over-paint look.

East students use superstiti ons in _

their every day activities

fI you remember when you wou Id seal a promise with "Cross my heart and hope to die," assuring your friend you wouldn't tell their secret. Do you ever hear your parents say something and then knock on wood?

Have you ever had a bad day because you got out of bed on the wrong side? Superstitions play a big part in some peoples lives ~ From playground promises to lucky charms, people still believe that objects and day to day rituals affect their future.

"Every game, the infielders (on the softbal I team) run out to center field, take a knee and pray for good luck," said senior softball player Megan Hawley. Members of the flag line also have good-luck superstitions.

"I wear a cross necklace for good luck. Before performance I pray that God will help me stay calm and perform well," said junior Kendra Downs.

Superstitions are a part of our

history. Take the four leaf clover for example, today it is an Irish sign of good luck , but it is originated back to the beginning of time. The legend has it that Eve took it with her on her journeys from paradise. The rabbit foot is also lucky. The rabbit is a prolific animal, producing large numbers of offspring. For that reason, it was thought to possess a creative power superior to other animals and became associated with prosperity and success. Not all charms and superstitions bring good luck, though.

"When I put my underwear on wrong , I have a really bad day," said senior Dillen Phelps. He's not alone when it comes to bad signs.

"When I do my morning activities in the wrong order, my day goes bad," said senior Heather Walker. •

Good or bad, lucky or unlucky , superstitions continue to affect the way people live. Cross my heart.

magine having to talk to your "significant other" on the phone because he is miles and miles away from you. Seniors Cryastal Peterson and Mindee Lieske can relate very well to this.

Crystal Peterson who's boyfriend lived and went to school in Blaire, Nebraska said that it was hard trying to keep up with the relationship.

"In an long distance relationship, it took a lot of balancing, but some good things came out of it too. We appreciated the time we had together a lot more and it added new demensions," she said. "Also, I think that our long distance relationship made us stronger, but it was really hard only getting to see him two times a month," said Peterson.

Lieske typically sees her boyfriend a _ I ittle less than twice a month. He I ived a I ittle further than Blair, Nebraska, try Los Angeles, California!

time a month during school and everyday during the summer," said Lieske. "A long distance relationship took more effort from each of us. We had to make a concious effort to include each of us in our everyday life, when he was actually just a voice over the phone," said Liskee.

Ben Mueller and his girlfriend, Michelle Rembolt met while in East's singers. Michelle lives in Ft. Collins, Colorado and went to school out there. They get to see eachother about every three weeks.

"Miclelle and I get to see eachother about every three weeks. It's really hard though, for us to leave eachother each time. Long distance relationships are hard, but they're not impossible. We definately have to work at it a lot harder than you would in any other relationship," said Mueller.

But distance wasn't an issue for most East students in a relationship. That doesn't mean that they didn't have to work at it though.

The Ztl of '97

An unexpected snowfall of 13" left the city buried in tree limbs and leaves for over a month.

''J was going back to school to get my books around 11 a. m. one morning after the storm, and I saw a car in the middle of a field. I used my car to help pull him out. He'd been there ' waitirig all night for the sun to come up so he could walk to a house for help."

"I didn't think that we needed to be out of school that long. I think that it's stupid and a pain how we have to make it all up, because I have to change my work hours and am not making as much money. They should take our one snow day and then forget the rest because the storm was a natural disaster."

The luck of a Northeast teacher seemed to run out when her trees were shattered and her power was out for a week (photQ by: Eileen Chalupa).

"I was at my friend's house watching the Nebraska football game that Saturday night. We fell asleep and when we woke up there was a tree in the driveway so I stayed at her house until Monday. My family and I had to go stay with my grandma for two days after that because we had no power for five days. Our yard was a mess from al I the trees that fel I. One big one landed on our roof and we had to go up and cut it down. In three weeks we should have everything cleaned up."

In Switzerland, we hardly ever get that much snow."

For Eppert leaving at semester meant giving up something she has done every year hroughout high school.

"I can't swim this year because I won't be able to compete in second semester," she said

Many parents of the early grads were concerned their son or daughter would be giving up their precious high-school y,ears, too eager to jump into the real world. Often the father and m0ther would be in disagreement, but in the end, the parents were supposrtive of their son or daughter's choice.

"My mom supports me because she thinks its good that I want to get a job, but my dad inks I could maybe take more classes to prepare for college. He is okay with it though," said Summers.

Fortunately these parents were able to see their child graduate with the rest of their class. January 15 was not the last time these students took part in a school activity. On June 6, they walked across the stage with the other 306 students in their class and graduated in front of their friends and family.

For Mc:Donald, Art Speaks Lo~der than Words

ost of us are proud when we finish a stick figure but this is not the case for senior Nate McDonald. Drawing to him is as easy as not drawing is to the rest of us.

Most artist remember the moment when they first knew that they wanted to create a piec~ of art. For McDonald, this moment came when he was in the third grade.

"In art class we designed these pictures ana the class chQse mine. It was put in a building downtown on display. That was the fi t time I knew I liked to draw," he said.

McDonald's good attitude j,as maqe him an asset both in and out of class. His teachers enjoy his enthusiasm and dedication to his work.

''He's quiet1 but has a very good sense of humor. He's very creative. It's easy for him to come

up with gre t ideas, and he's a great artist," said art teacher Lynn Hersney.

McDonald does not hide his work, but shares it with is friends.

"I made an eight foot in diameter mural for my friend. It's a Grateful Dead logo with a Grateful Dead bear face in the center," he said.

McDonald's work has also received an award in the community. His t-shirt design for the Community Blood Bank won first prize this year. The shirt was a geometric drawing, and will be given to donors after they have complete four donations.

One of McDonald's favorite projects was one he did in his junior year. His art class helped Laura Jacobsin's Spanish classes illustrate a children's book that her class was writing.

"We designed the story book,

Neemann and she was going to try and publish it," he said.

During his years at East, McDonald has taken four art classes. He hopes that these cliisses will prepare him for next year at college.

"My mom told me to get in as many art classes as ·1 wanted to this year to prepare me for college. In college I'll either study graphic design or commercial design. I'll probably go to the Kansas City Institute of Art or the Colorado Institute of Art," he said.

His self motivation will help him to succeed in college and in his profession.

"When Nate first too Begin .. ning Drawing, I knew that he had a special gift. He is sure of himself and is very self directed," said Hershey. "He always likes to make sure his work is the best i~ can be. This motivation will make him

} enioritis. An affliction that transcends a senior's attitude so that he/she becomes frustrated with where he/she is, and he/she they really wants to be. Caught between two different worlds, sufferers tend to slip into a realm where classes are forgotten, applications are due, and anything sounds better than sitting through another class which doesn't' fill any requirements.

"It's our last year, you're ready to go off to college, you're doing your applications, and your senior year doesn't really count, so you la:cR all ambition to do well," said Jessica Jones.

For evidence of senioritis, just look at the average senior's schedule. Electives and study halls fill their schedules, along with those dreaded last requirements.

"Senioritis is knowing that the only requirement that you hav left is C. I.," said Cami Daigle.

This affliction does not only affect seniors, though. It also affects the senior's teachers and parents. Most teachers and parents understand

that their student or child slowly but assuredly becomes a victim of senioritis.

"I think most of the teachers understand that seniors want to graduate but they still expect you to get your work do Qe," .said Sarah Ingersoll.

"I think my parents are getting use to not seeing me. They're getting use to hearing Fleming's voice on my answering machine,'' said Daigle.

Most seniors agreed that their senioritis wasn't because they disliked East, but because they were ready to s rt something new. Yes, their class had grown together and they had many shared experiences, but the time comes when you must leave who you are comfortable with and partake in a Rew journey.

"I'd rather be at college because I think that will be a lot of fun," said Jeff Darling. "1 think our class has mellowed out a lot Everyone was really cliquey but since then everyone has gotten use to each other and are more accepting."

Do the Push Up Private

Imagine waking up at 3 :30 a.m. to a screaming drill sergeant who wants you to get dressed, shave, brush your teeth, get all your gear together and be in formation in five minutes. Sounds like a great summer, huh?

For some East stuaents, this was a reality 1bat they had to deal with for nine weeks during the summer. These students went to Basic Combat Training for the Army National Guatcl. Three stuoents trained at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri and one student trained down at Fort Benning, Georgia. •

"fort Benning was a very difficult training ecause it is an all-Infantry base which means we rain- more in combat situations. We also must be well organized and confident in ourselves," said Senior Matt Kunkee.

Kunkee is now confident that he can do anything he puts his nl° nd to. enior Eric Bahm

knows the training got t em in shape for sports.

"The worst part of basic was all of the physical training we would do. Every morning before breakfast we would do two hours of physical training. This included flutter kicks, push ups and running for two miles. At least it got me into shape for football," said Bahm.

One student found teamwork to be very important.

"Basic training gave me confidence in my fellow soldiers by working through simple problems like making beds, to complicated problems like night infiltration. This takes good communication and teamwork to complete," said senior Hank Moler.

The best day for these students was graduation day when they knew they hac made iUftd coul d be called soldiers.

Zoo khool D{{ev> A New Way To Leav"' ·

• just another n~rmal day. You k~ow, go to math class, gym, or maybe Citizenship Issues. Then it's off to the zoo. While that sounds completely absurd to most students , for a few students it really is just another normal day.

Zoo School was a new district-wide program offered this year. The program was for juniors and seniors, and instead of going to regular high school al I day they had class at the zoo at 9:40 am, and stay until 3:00 P.M While it had a science focus , it wasn't just for science students.

"We were exposed to all of the disciplines, not just science, so we are getting exposed to things that wou Id apply to a variety of careers," said senior Rachel Spiry. She said the reason she decided to attend the zoo school wa s for more variety.

"There are a lot of opportunities that are offered that wouldn't be possible at East," she said.

Some of the new opportunities came with the territory Being at the zoo provided access to everything at the zoo. The students could work with the animals or anything else available.

" Rather than having to read about things from a text or watch a video, we can go out and see it. There's more of an opportunity for hands on work," said Spiry.

Not only was the location a change from high school, but the schedule they follow was much more varied than high school. While most students go to the same class at the same time every day, the zoo school schedule changed every week, and rotated every day.

With the schedule changes and wide variety of classes , the students had to be much more self-motivated.

"A lot of the responsibility falls on you , and you have to have responsibility and take it upon yourself to get things done," said junior Maggie Hoppe. She loved the change from regular high school, and felt the individual motivation was a good challenge.

"It's a lot different, and you have to be really organized , but I like the free atmosphere , " she said.

For whatever reason some students at East decided to attend Zoo School, they all seem to be pleased with how they spend their day. At the very least, the birds and the bees has taken on a whole new meaning.

Juniors are at the point w ere they are finding where they fit in.

the seniors are almost out of here , the freshman just got here and the sophomores are the class of 2000. So , what does that make the junior class?

The junior class is unique by the fact that there is so many different types of people and personalities in there class

"The junior class has every kind of personality that you could imagine from your spots jock to your computer guy." said junior Michael Stitcher.

Other students agreed with Stitcher.

"That's whats so great about our junior class you can be yourself and you don't have to worry about being put down by anyone." said junior Scott Lee. ·

"Most juniors know what they are interested in

and that helps shape there personality." said junior Marshall Chase. ·

When your a freshman your new to the school and you try your best to fit in. Sophomores are still trying to find there grove but by the time your a junior you have found your grove and discovered your personality.

"We have a large diversity in our class and people aren't afraid to be themselves." sa id Lee.

One things for sure there are a lot of different personality and unique people who have a lot to offer to this school.

Juniors find out about the time consuming activities of life.

they are there to be a part of our school, they are there to develop more unity within the Junior class, they are there to help support our school. These important people are the Junior Class Officers.

The three Junior officers are Sunny Bordman; President, Kendra Hollman; Vice President; and Tanner Penrod; Treasurer. All of these positions are time consuming and have a lot of responsibilities that go with them, but officers say that they're willing to pay the price.

"Being President of the Junior class takes a lot of time and responsibility, but to me, it ' s worth it. We get to plan Prom and host the GAP dance, we also get to decide what kind of activities we do for the Junior class. It also gives me a chance to meet people that I otherwise wouldn't come in contact with," said Bordman.

Being a class officer can also effect the officer's other activities.

"Sometimes, it does interfere with my sports , we have meetings after school, so we have to plan the meetings around all of our other activities and practices," said Penrod.

~ut besides class officer meetings interfering with their other activities, there's also some other disadvantages about supporting your class.

"To me, one of the worst things about being a junior class officer are all of the responsibilities · and expectations that people have of you," said Hollman.

This statement definitely doesn't define Brian "Fred" Hastert. His activities and all-around goofiness set him apart from his "class."

you probably would recognize Brian Hastert if you passed him in the hallway, but you probably wouldn't know him by his real name. Brian has been going by the name of "Fred" for a long time.

Why "Fred"?

"In a nutshell, Ryan Watson had been in all my classes since the beginning of time. I got sick of having a name that rhymed with Ryan, so I changed it to Fred, because I didn't know anyone whose name rhymed with Fred," said Hastert.

Nearly everyone at East knew who "Fred" was before he knew them. Hastert is involved in many activities, which exposes him to many people.

He is involved in tennis, drama, ITS, forensics, and Singers, and was on the now-defunct "Muse" and "Stasis" staffs. He also volunteered at St.

Elizabeth's Hospital during the summer and worked at Breugger's Bagels on the weekends, and participated in the All-State Musical at the State Theater Convention.

This experience, along with playing Harvey Johnson in "Bye, Bye, Birdie," prepared Hastert for his career goals.

"I would like to be on Broadway and play Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar,"' said Hastert.

Before making the move to New York City, Hastert will be taking a trip to Ireland, Scotland, and England, because he's "never left the country."

Hastert will leave the country as "Brian," though, since passports don't have a space for nicknames.

Just when Nebraska teens embraced the latest fashion trends they find out something else has taken it's place. Usually that news comes from California, but according to one German exchange student it seems California is even lagging behind.

One of the strangest sights German exchange student Nina Berger has seen since coming to Lincoln was a male student in shorts, long socks and Birks. She just assumed he was a geek unti I her American friend said he was cool.

"You would never see people wearing Birkenstocks, except at the

East students can learn a lot from the school's exchange students. While East students often complain of a lack of freedom, the exchange students are amazed at the number of choices they have here

"In Switzerland you are with the same students all day," said exchange student Marcel Kuttel. "And we can't choose the subjects we take."

Berger also found more freedom at East.

"School in Germany is a lot more strict," she said. "School here is a lot more fun."

Fun doesn't necessarily mean better, however. Berger said Ameri-

can schools should fo c us more on the basics. It se ems a happy medium should b e found.

One fo reign exchange student found Lincoln to have a lot of the same activities that she enjoyed in Turkey .

Ozecan Ulu scn found that she could still practice ballet in Lincoln so she wouldn't lose a step. However there were some things that just wouldn't be the same.

"I really miss the food from back home. Everything here is always so rushed," she said

Al I three exchange student s are happy they participated in the foreign exchange program. They • have gained good friends, good memories , and good experiences

tDana Witherby's sophmore year brings her more than expected.

ophomore year brings many cha I lenges and a lot of fun. Parties, games, sports, clubs, and of course, homework fill a sophmore's days. With all there is to be involved in, a student can have a pretty hectic and stressful schedule. Especially if that someone is Dana Witherby.

Witherby is involved in more clubs and activities than a lot of high school students. After school, her schedule includes meetings for STOP and Ecology club, Cross Country and Track, volunteering, Young-Life, and weekly morning bible studies. With all that she's involved in, it's amazing that she has time for herself.

"I really enjoy painting, so I find old things and paint them up really funky," said Witherby. Painting isn't the only thing she's into.

"Dana's the most creative and artsy

person that I know," said senior Amanda Lowry. "She comes up with such cool ideas at STUCO and she did the STUCO bulletin board in senior hallway too." She's not just known for her creativity. Witherby goes out of her way to do things for others like making the girls cross coun- • try team signs.

"I had an injury this season so I couldn't run cross country, but I went to most of the meets to cheer East on," said Witherby.

"It was awesome that Dana was so much a part of the team even though she couldn't run," said Lowry. Being involved in a variety of activities is something that Witherby really enjoys. She balances her life by remembering to step back occasionally.

"I just have to remember to take time to just sit and listen to music or do yoga to relax and keep my priorities straight," said Witherby.

Sophmores get preped for the future.

l5 lloons bursting with loud "BANG!" Champagne corks popping into the air, the foamy liquid bubbling out of the lip of the bottle. Screams of wonder, cheering and laughter fill the air. It's Jan.1,2000.

For some, the world's going to end. But for others, they have a different opinion on how the millennium will start. Sophomores, who are the ones who will lead us into the year 2000, aren't worried about catastrophes.

"I don't believe that the world is going to end in the year 2000," said sophomore Jamie Nider

Another sophomore Tom Lindsay also believe that nothing bad is going to happen in the year 2000.

"That's bull," said Lindsay. "The bible states that we don't know the date or the time when it will happen."

Not only will a new millennium begin at the end of 2000 but for sophomores, so will high school. Many are apprehensive of what will be next for them.

"I'm worried about losing contact with my friends when I get to college," said sophomore Rachel Peters. "because friends are really important

to everybody."

For N ider, she ' s afraid that she wi 11 lose when it comes to finding a job.

"I am not going to find a job," said Nider. "I'm scared about finding a good job, now that technology is improving every year."

Careers may be one thing to be nervous about in the future , but ever since sophomore Chris Frey has been working at Goodyear Fitness Center, he doesn't worry about employment.

"I clean fitness equipment, fold towels, mostly clean up the place," said Frey. "It's prett/. easy, in the future I'll hope to get moved up to the front desk."

Dreaming about the future is fine, but some students aren't convinced dreaming is enough.

"In my opinion, people can talk about their future all they want. Unless they act on it, nothing's going to happen," said Peters.

Most students just want to do their best.

"I'm not really nervous about the future," said Frey "I just hope I make most of my life."

Class officers recieve much to do with being one.

being a class officer comes with a lot of duties ranging from it being attending an officers meeting to planning Spirit Week.

"Our duties include planning Spirit Week, having a class activity each semester and conducting a fund-raiser each semester," said Sophomore Vice President Brandon Hemmerling.

Planning Spirit Week and winning it is an important goal to a class officer. Another important factor is the students having a I ittle bit of fun.

"The most important thing to me is winning Spirit Week and putting it together," said sophomore Treasurer Winnie Ting.

11 As a class officer, the mo st important thing is doing things that the students find fun,

instead of what the teachers feel we should do," said sophomore President Carrie Diffenderfer. •

Beyond the duties and goals of a class officer, what's the best thing about being one?

"Learning to work with others and learning how to get things organized," said Hemmerling.

"The best thing about being a class officer is getting to make final decisions. It makes me feel powerful and in control, I like that," said Diffenderfer.

11 To me, the best thing about my role as a class officer is getting involved with the school and helping out with school spirit," said Ting. •

(Ce

xcuse me, little sixth grader, don't ya know I'm the oldest one around here!?"

This i s how this year's freshmen felt going to Lux Middle School for their eighth- grade year. They felt like they had all the power, especially since they themselves where the youngest at East just a year before.

"One time something really awesome happened. My fri e nds and I were walking down the hall in a straight line, and a couple of sixth graders were walking towards us, they looked up at u s, and turned around and started to walk in a different direction. I g ues s they felt intimidated by us. But it was the most exhilirating thing ," said freshman Erin Jablonski.

But feeling like you have all the power isn't the only way that this year's freshmen felt when they went to Lux. They felt they were treated differently by teachers. Most of them said it felt like they were elementary students again.

"We were treated like we were back in elementary school again. We were treated as if we couldn't handle responsibility," said freshman Tom Dunbar "We couldn't be open and express ourselves. I didn't like that. I was in eighth grade, I can handle responsibi I ities."

The way they were treated wasn't the only complaint some had about going to Lux. Some felt like they benefited more from going to East than going to Lux.

"At East, it was a better learning environment. We were given more responsibility, there was more freedom, and more learning opportunities. Also, I feel like I can learn more from the older kids than I can from the immature younger kids,"said Katie Brown.

This year's freshmen spent a year at East and a year at Lux before coming to East this year again. It was also nice to have a c hange. Some liked all the changes.

"I think that I would of rather just gone to East, but it was nice to have a change," said Gera Olsen. Others are .still adjusting to the " new" East.

"When I came back to East, a lot of things were different. The construction of course, _ but the bell is a lot different and the lunch prices have gone way up," said freshm an Justin Siefkes. •

Freshmen give seniors some adivce for consideration .

"Try to be a little nicer if they see us in the hall. We don't do anything to them so they shouldn't pick on us." Jaimie Enderle

"Most of the seniors are nice if you know them. To try hard in college and continue through with it." Elizabeth Leach

"To grow up. They're less mature than freshman." Amanda Levin

"For the seniors in marching band to not be so mean to the freshman. They can bring the food sometimes." Ashley Robinson

"Seniors don't really bother me. They should stick with it when they go to college, it is their future." Katie Knapp

"Take a lot of your personal stuff with you to college so you don't get homesick - like your . teddy bear." Hillary Miller

"To go through and finish college because their future's at stake." Aaron Clark

"Quit picking on freshman." Aaron Rinehart

Model Abbey Karr doesn't believe that beauty is only skin deep

you've heard it a million times from a million different people, "beauty is only skin deep." This well - known phrase doesn't sit pretty with freshman Abbey Karr. Karr, who models wishes that people would correct this misconception.

Karr has been a model since she was nine or ten years old and has noticed that people often just assume that, because she is a model, she will be too good for them. As a result they don't bother to get to know her. Other people only want to get to know her as a model and don't actually get to know the person who i s so much more than just a pretty face.

11 I love people and I want to have as mariy friends as possible. I don't feel like I'm too good for anyone," said Karr.

Aside from modeling Karr is involved in several other activities including band, Shades of Blue, Broadway Juniors, and singing on the

weekends at the Stageright Coffee House.

Karr is constantly trying to keep a positive attitude, which is a must in the modeling scene.

"If you are looking to be a model you · have to have a positive attitude and be able to not take things personally," said Karr. Karr has learned to deal with plenty of blunt critcism in her I ife so she is always eager to give an encouraging comment.

"I like making people feel good about them selves," said Karr. Her kindness is noted by other s

11 Abbey always has a smile and something nice to say everyday ," said junior Emily Jhade

Being a model has definitely not gone to the head of freshman Abbey Karr. Her beauty shines all the way thru!

Ninth grade class officers wanted to do something .

\.we know who they are and we might have even voted for them, but do we have any idea what they really do? Does their position only extend to getting elected, or do they actually have an agenda and a purpose?

The ninth grade class officers planned many activities throughout the year to get everyone in the class involved.

"We try to plan activities. The last day of finals in January we wanted to get the class together and play laser tag," said Treasurer Erin Jablonski.

The different activities which they coordinated took time and energy; energy the officers were happy to give.

"We meet with the entire group of class officers the first Monday of every month, and with Student Council the first Wednesday of every month. Besides that we also meet weekly by ourselves to discuss," sa id vice-president Jon Clifton.

The class officers were prepared and

wanted the responsibilities that were given to them. They became candidates because they wanted and believed they cou Id offer something to their class.

"I wanted to be a class officer because I believe that I'm dedicated to helping the student body," said President Jake Hoppe.

For Clifton and Jablonski it was their desire to contribute to the class and community.

"I wanted to be part of the class. I wanted to do something important and help out," said Clifton.

"I'll try to help out our school and community around us, and get the kids involved. I want to put in my ideas and contribute to East High," said Jablonski.

Ninth grade class e>fficers became candidates because they wanted to dedicate their time and energy to organizing activities that brought the class together. They worked diligently to insure one thing, and that is that their class have a good year.

Contrary to popular belief, being a high school student does not limit job choices to flipping a greasy burger over a hot grill or spending the day sacking other people's groceries.

While these jobs are fine for many, other students chose to explore different kinds of work experiences.

Juniors Abbey Maul and Nina Anderson and senior Mindee Lieske chose to work in various animal clinics.

"I didn't want to work with food and I love animals, which made it all the more fun," said Maul.

Lieske has been raising goats since she was very young, so working with animals came naturally to her. Anderson and Maul work at Forney Animal Center and Lieske works at Kennel Inn

Some students decided to help out in the family business. Senior Grant Harse spent the summer traveling around Nebraska with his step dad's company and surveying the sights of future bridges.

Senior Henry Jou also chose to help with the family business. Jou worked at his parents' restaurant, The Imperial Palace. Jou said his duties consisted of "a little bit of everything," He listed everything from busing tables to delivery.

Whether these students are working for their parents, friends, or complete strangers, all agreed that these jobs are not easy or boring tasks. Harse told of his hot summer days, walking long distances to a bridge sight. While Lieske talked of returning home from work, arms covered in animal scratches. Most brought home unique stories, too.

"There is always something interesting going on," said Maul who laughed at the memory of caring for a hedgehog and a duck. _

"So many strange things have happened," agreed Jou, who told his story of a man driving his car into the side of the restaurant.

Like all jobs, each of these had its own challenges, but all of these students were happy to know that they chose a job that said something about themselves.

Students

Students want to be given knowledge, rather then figuring it out. In the 70s the students were combative in the classroom and liked to challenge the teachers. In the 90s they just want the answer.

keeping people happy is a tough job. Reducing opportunities and variety and sti 11 keeping people happy is much tougher. That was a problem facing the new administration when they had to eliminate classes for this year.

One of the new associate principals, Dan Larson, had the responsibility of meeting with department heads over the summer to choose the classes that would be dropped. He said the classes were cut based on the f ecommendation of department heads, student enrol Iment, and how current the course curriculum was. However, overall, Larson said the decisions were made "in the best interest of the total population of students at East High School." Of the classes that were cut, there were both advanced and lower level classes so that no group of stu·dents was affected more than another.

The decision of choosing one class over another was a difficult one for Dwain Myers, the social studies department head. He chose to cut AP Macro Economics over an Accelerate class for at-risk students. He knew it would be a controversial

decision, but thought it would be the best for students.

"Our challenge as a staff is to be positive about these things," Myers said. Although some students lost out, he tried to make sure everyone understood the reasons behind the decision.

"None of the cuts are the students' fault," he said , noting that the choices were made in an attempt to keep as many students happy as possible.

One student who was affected by the cuts was senior Ryan Schroeder. He had anxiously awaited the new Philosophies of Life class, but it was cut before it started.

"I was disappointed. I had taken all the other social sciences and I am interested in social sciences," he said. Although he is upset that he couldn't take the class, he realized why the administration made the cuts they did.

"I can't argue with ho~ the classes were cut, and I think they did a good job of cutting," he said.

The classes cut th is year caused problems with many students, but unfortunately there wi 11 be Students in Dutch Fichthorn' s Movie Lit. class try to make space for groupwork. Almost 20 classes were cut over the summer, pushing class sizes to over 30 in many cases (photo by: Josh Ingersoll).

more cuts to come, thanks to current legislation. School Board member Shirley Doan couldn't say for sure what the actual amount to be cut was, but knew how the cuts would be made.

"Each board member is looking at the program to see what we can give up or what we can't cut, and we will cut everything that can be cut," she said. Property taxes, which help fund education, must be I imited to $1 .10 for every $100 of property value. In response, the current school-district budget of about $180 mi 11 ion may have to be reduced anywhere from $5 million to $15 million ~ However, Doan says the property-tax I id could be overridden by the public if they don't approve.

"The public should say no if they don't like it and then we could pay for the better education," she said.

With all the current and possible cuts, the loss of variety in class opportunities inevitably upset some students and faculty, but the carefully, keeping the overall good of students as the central goal.

magine this. You get a Spanish assignment to do a commercial with the dialogue completely in Spanish. Your head pounds and you scratch your pencil against your paper, trying to get an idea of what to do. Finally, an idea; a perfect idea.

Then come four long, exhausting days of videotaping different shots of Lincoln. Driving around in a friend's car, shooting video of East's parking lot, friends' houses, the State Capitol.

Junior Chad Brown worked with senior Laura Gapp and fellow juniors Michael Garrett and Graydon Foreman on their remake of the Surge commerc i a l s.

"It took forever for the snapshots," said Brown. The commercial focused on a race between Gapp and Foreman, with their starting place at the State Capital. They had to run from the State Capital to East's parking lot to reach the can of Surge. Foreman won (it was p l anned that way).

"The commercial only lasted 5 to 10 minutes even though it took four days to shoot," said Brown. Even though the proj ect seemed to last forever, Brown still points to that assignment as a memorable moment in school.

From East 's parking lot to another school, freshman Andrea Gutsche recalls another po sitive classroom experience that brought back memories.

"In Career Ed, I job-shadowed my old 8th grade Science teacher Mr. Bare at Lux Middle School," said Gutsche. "The shadowing itself was fun, but seeing all of the new 8th graders, and thinking about what it used to be like was scary!"

It can also be scary to realize that a class's content is starting to change your attitude about that class. Sophomore Josh Bauer learned a lot more in Psychology than he thought.

"At first we learned the 'greats' of psychology," said Bauer, "then we went into what psychology is, what a psychologist is, and what the stages of sl eep are," he sa id. "Psychology isn't boring We l earn new things everyday."

Learning new things may give the brain new wrinkles, but it's the goose-bumps that come from performing for others that make freshman Michael Kohel love his "Spartan Men" singing class .

;' I l ove singing to ot h er peop l e," said Kohel. "It just changes my attitude the whole day." Even when he's not performing there are bonuses to the class.

"And I l ike eating donuts during that class because it is a tradit i o n If i t is someone's birthday or someone comes to class late, they have to bring· donuts to class."

Memorable moments in classes can take the shape of hours of videotape or the sprinkles from a half- eaten donut What matters most, is that the moments count somehow.

"It makes me think of an airplane or an elevator," said junior Jenny Liou.

Other people described the be l I as a hospital sound or the sound a fish makes. The ideal bell for sen ior Mark Hill, would be related to sheep. "I think the "bahh" sound wil l excite students to get to their next class because they know not to mess with sheep," he replied. The changes at East, especially the sound of the bell, have supr ised many students.

"I don't know why they changed the bell, maybe to start a new beginning with a new principal," replied sophmore Johna Wassung. There have been a lot of

changes, not only with the new bell and administration, but on improving the facilities within our school. Construction, starting at the end of last year and on through the su mmer, left us with a new, larger teacher parking lot, weight room, wrestling room, and an almost completed gym.

"The wrestlers now have a place that they can identify with, " said wrestling coach Marty McCurdy. "Before there wasn't enough room to get people through their workouts, practices had to be made longer."

"The new construction has made many students want to get more involved in school activities," commented freshman Joel Erickson. Whatever the changes, students are excited to finally have the same training opportunities as the other surrounding schools.

"I think that we'll have a better chance of winning," said Hill.

it's Thursday night. You're one of the 2,346 fans at" Seacrest Field, watching East's Homecoming game against the Fremont Tigers. Seth Boynton has just made a 54 -yard touch-down run with 1 :51 remaining in the third quarter. The score is 29-9. You can feel the confidence in the crowd.

And then comes the fourth quarter.

Before you know it, the Tigers have driven inside the East 10 yard line twice in the final three and a half minutes of the game. Your pulse quickens. The score is 29-22. Can we hold them? Will they pull through?

The game is over. The Spartans have successfully held the Tigers for a win.

"I knew we were going to win. We had a good team this year, and I had a lot of faith in them," said sophomore Ann Janesch.

Many spectators were impressed by the game.

"I was proud of our guys who pulled through and were able to stay focused hll the end," said senior Katie Belka.

The players spent a lot of time before the game trying to get ready physically and mentally.

"I was confident that if we played to our abi I ity we cou Id beat them," said Varsity quarterback senior Bryce Jakub. The team also got a pep talk from senior quarterback Matt Daharsh.

"Daharsh gives the most incredible motivational speeches. He says things you wouldn't think of, but that fit together perfectly," said senior Sam Achord.

But the celebration didn't end at the game. The dance held that Saturday, gave the students one more chance to express their excitement over a successfu I week. Decorations for the theme, Four Seasons, took hours of dedication and planning.

"We met three times in June and then once a week or when ever it was needed, after school began," said Belka, a member of the Spirit Council.

The Spirit Counci I decorated each of the four rooms for the dance very carefully. Four thousand white lights were used in the Commons area, to give it a snowy effect, along with a disco ball. The three other rooms were also given unique touches to reflect each season.

Alissa Kuehn, a freshman, was impressed by the dance.

" I like the Multicultural room with the lights and I couldn't believe that they played "Whip it", the song I requested," she said.

The comfortable atmosphere of the dance made it easy for everyone to loosen up and get down. Even when the air conditioning shut off, leaving the lunch room unbelievably hot, students continued to dance and have a good time.

"I'm not much of a dancer, but I danced the whole time," said Jakub.

Around 11 p.m., the Homecoming royalty was announced.

"It was crazy, something I didn't expect. thought that I was ready and then it came and I wasn't," said Achord, Homecoming King.

"It's an honor in itself just to be nominated," said senior Lindsey Schulz, Homecoming Queen.

A night that for many started off with dinner, either in a group or as a couple, came to a close shortly after midnight. Many students didn't end the fun there, however, but went out to friend's houses or other local hangouts. No matter what students did before or after the dance; the week of Homecoming developed new memories for al I.

"i's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A, It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A-A " The familiar words to this long-standing disco favorite has never failed to draw East students to the dance floor.

"The need to move makes people want to dance," said sophomore Sara Beery "You hear certain rhythms or beats and you can't just sit there. You have to tap your feet. It releases tension."

Several dances were added to the usuaf lineup this year: besides Homecoming, Prom, and Bogus Ball, the STOP club sponsored a Halloween party to discourage people from drinking alcohol, and a Spirit Week dance was included in the normal spirit festiv i ties to help raise money for a marquee in front of our school. The second annual Freshman dance was also successful in bringing together the freshman, who came from a variety of middle schools.

"The Freshmen dance was a good way to meet people because it was only for our grade," said freshman Amanda Perde. It often takes a lot of courage to meet someone on the dance floor, though.

Asking a person to a dance is not always an easy thing. More and more, girls are taking the initiative and asking their beaus to accompany them in all the fun. •

"I th.ink that it's cool when girls ask you out because it takes -the pressure off the guys," said senior Jeremy Renfro.

Some students opt not to go with a date to a dance, but rather with a group of friends. It al lows them to feel more free and be able to act crazy, without the stress of impressing anyone.

"It's always the person or people that you're with that makes it fun," said junior Michael Stitcher.

Dances provide students with an outlet to have a good ti rue and to just be yourself, away from the usual school setting.

New clubs at East made a big impression this year.

Being involved in clubs is a major part of high school life for many Spartans. With more than 25 clubs and organizations to be involved in there's a variety of options, but even more new clubs are being formed. The Pep Club, Sci-Fi Club, and restarted German Club all have had to go through the process of becomming a club at East.

"We didn't have a hard time forming our club at all," said junior vice president of PepClub Carmi Zink,"We had a lot of support from faculty and students." The Pep club is a club formed to provide extra cheer and support at games.

"The purpose of our club is to provide school spirit through good sportsmanship," said senior president of Pep club Cami Daigle, "We thought there was a definite need for more attendance at games." German club also felt that there was a need for students to experience the German culture through a club.

"The German club got started years ago, but hasn't been active in the last few years ," said

junior Nicole Schroeder,"So we didn't have to go through the whole process of starting it up again and going through administration and STUCO." German club does a lot of activities to get members exposed to the German culture.

"We've done a lot of fun stuff like Christmas caroling in German at nursing homes and seeing the Vienna Boys Choir," said sophmore Winnie Ting. Yet another club that has been started this year is the Sci-Fi club.

"I actually got the idea of my club from a movie. I thought it sounded like a cool idea," said sophmore president Dallas Huston. Sci-Fi club studies movies, radio shows, and books.

"We've been really successful! with membership for our first year because we started with seven people and now have seventeen," said Huston.

All the new clubs at East show that if students see a need for a 'new clL!b or organization, Spartans have the initiative to start them

Student's ,, ,, about Fall Play

Poe's Mysterious death explored by talen _ ted actors.

"Mystery. In the end, there was only mystery." The last five days of Edgar Allan Poe's life remain a mystery although "Nevermore," a play by Julian Wiles, explores what may have happened. Some of East's most talented actors and actresses explored these last intriguing days of Poe's life on October 1, 2, 4, and 5. Although the audience only saw a two-hour production, many additional hours were put into the play. The actors and actresses gathered after school and in the evenings for a month to perfect their performances. The end product of all the hard work may have seemed flawless, but unnoticed accidents did happen.

"Every night, during the shipwreck scene , I hit my head in a different place," said junior Brian Hastert, who played Miguel, a sailor.

Also, during the Saturday night performance, the pendulum from the story "The Pit and the Pendulum" accidentally h~t senior Adam Carr, who played Edgar Al Ian Poe. This didn't help in relieving the typical tension that builds up during and before performances.

"I curled up in a little ball ten minutes before I went on," said junior Drew Johnson, who played the young Poe.

For Carr, nervousness actually helped improve his acting. When he got nervous, he thought about a member of the audience whom he wanted to impress.

Immediately before each show, preparation also helped the actors calm their nerves. Senior Emily Ashby, who played the older Annabel Lee, repeatedly recited her first monologue and to get into character.

Because it was such a large cast , younger students had the opportunity to work with more experienced actors.

"They made me feel welcomed," said sophomore Chanda Clyne-Govier, who played Hannah •

Working with such a large crew and cast made things crowded but not less enjoyable.

"It was sort of hard back stage, because there were so many people needing to be in the same place at the same time, but, overall, it was a· lot of fun because so many people got to participate," said • Ashby.

Several actors and audience members thought Julian Wiles' "Nevermore" was East's best play in years. However, no matter how successful the play was, it will always be a failure in one area, that is solving the mystery.

One Act/ITS performers revel in tom-foolery.

"all ITS members , there will be a mandatory meeting today after school on the stage. If you plan on going to the State Theater Festival , Ms. Scott needs your money by Friday These are your announcements for today. Have a great day! "

Ever wonder what that announcement is about? You're not alone.

Students in ITS (International Thespian Society) do much more than meet on stage once a month. They plan activities for Drama Club , have parties , and attend a theater fe stival every Janu ar y

" We go t o th e Sta t e Theater Festival for two d ays, learn about theater and have fun, " said .senior Am b er Uffelman

Uffelman al so participated in the One Act play " Audience , " which placed second at District s. The play i s ab out everything that can go wrong at the theater

" One judge mi sunder stood and thought we were watching a movie , instead of a play," said Uffelman.

A judge ' s misunderstanding wasn't the only mishap during the performance.

" During the middle of t he performance , the chairs on the top of the platform didn ' t have stoppers , and they fell off the back of the platform. We didn ' t react at all , so the judges didn ' t take any points off , " said Uffelman. Covering is one of the tricks of the trade.

"I missed a line when the chairs fell, because the platform we were standing on was really weak, but Blaine Kahle covered for me , " said senior Rachel Janssen. The improvisational gifts of its actors helped "Audience" succeed at the district competition Seniors T.J. Kaspar and Andrea Peterson walked away with "Superior" ratings on their individual performances. Despite the problems with the set, the play also took a "Superior" rating home with them. 90 One Act Play & ITS

Birdi e

Song and

"Bye, Bye, Birdie" experienced a make-over to change the musical from previous productions.

the curtain opened, the lights went up, and this year's production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie" began. This was the third time "Bye, Bye, Birdie" had been performed at East.

This caused Singers and Mr. Peterson to find ways to make it different from previous productions. Senior Laura Qiffenderfer was the first student choreographer, which prompted a special dance sequence.

Choreographing the entire musical required a lot of time and thought about what dance steps to use. Diffenderfer's ideas came from many sources.

"Most of my ideas came from just listening to the music, because I think that the best choreography comes from doing what the music tells you," said Diffenderfer. She also watched musicals, including "Grease," "Music Man," and "Singin' In the Rain" to prompt ideas for what to use in "Bye, Bye, Birdie."

Singers had difficulty rehearsing because of the week off of school due to the snow storm. They had to rehearse for longer periods of time to make up for the lost week.

Another difference in this year's pr()duction was that senior Paul Beckwith was the first live guitarist. Beckwith also spent a lot of time practicing and transcribi ng the music.

"I had to go through the piano music and figure it out. One morning, I spent four hours on it and only got half a song done," Beckwith said.

Spending a lot of time on the musical turned out to be a good experier.ice for both Diffenderfer and Beckwith.

"The best part was sitting in the audience at the dress rehearsals seeing what I had done come to life with costumes, make-up, and lights," said Diffenderfer.

" I think Laura's done better on choreography than in any other musical at East I've seen," said Beckwith.

Everyone agreed that the musical was a great success. It was, in its own way, unique from the previous productions.

Extra singing opportunities give more experience to the group.

srde from the numerous school performances that always ~raw quite a crowd, Singers and Swing Choir spent their time trying out for other special choirs that require more auditions. These choirs help them expand their singing experiences, and also help the quality of their singing.

"The opportunities benefit Singers because when someone goes to a choir like that they learn so many things outside of Singers. When people come back they can add that know ledge to Singers," said senior Amy Stenberg. She has . participated in various honor choirs, and enjoys the experience.

"It's a really good opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. I would really encourage people to try out for them," Stenberg said.

With the numerous choirs that are available to Singers and Swing Choir, such as All State Choir, Hastings Honor Choir, All City Choir, and Wesleyan Honor -Choir, there are

also various audition requirements which require a lot of extra time from Singers.

"Sometimes you miss a Thursday and Friday of school to practice with the group, so you have to practice on your own," said senior Jason Warren.

There are many opportunities for Singers to join these select choirs, but there aren't as many spots as there are people auditioning. However, Warren emphasizes the encouragement from other Singers Swing Choir members and not the rivalry.

"I hope the best for myself and the people I know. It's not 'Who can I sing better than?'. It's 'How well can I sing?"', Warren said.

Overall, the Singers and Swing Choir members realize the great opportunities that these select choirs present and the good they can do for the whole group.

Hardwork a nd perseverence pays off.

I ghts hang from the top of the auditorium, and burn a bright beam across the risers. Students emerge from backstage, taking their places on the riser steps. Applause rises from the anxious crowd, encouraging these students ' to sing their hearts out.

Many of East's the most dedicated singers perform in ; Reflections, Spartan Men, and Chamber Choir. While the groups are quite different, they have one thing in common, members who love to sing.

Chamber Choir junior member Becky Rinehart and Reflections sophomore Crystal Bybee have both been singing at East since 7th grade. Years of singing, and time with a vocal -instructor, have paid off for Bybee.

"Voice lessons helped me project better in music, and make me look .into the music and not just the notes," she said.

Voice lessons are not easy. They take time and practice, just like getting used to a new group of singers. It helps to know the other students in your group. Spartan Men sophomore James Fairbanks did simple things to get to know everyone better.

"I got to know more people by singing with them. We got to talk and eat donuts all of the time," said Fairbanks, "And during Finals,

different students from our class would display uncommon talents."

Performing in front of friends and family, makes some singers a little edgy Reflections' junior Courtney Conner is one of those people who gets a little intense before performances.

"It's scary but then you realize that no one will laugh at you because you are at a higher place than that person," said Conner Spartan Men sophomore Bryan Gibb also gets nervous, especially since it is his fir st year in that group.

"I haven't sung a solo or duet but I get nervous that the performance is something that the crowd doesn't want to hear," said Gibb.

Performers also worry that audiences don't want to hear a strained singing voices though, singers do have remedies for when their voice go out. Reflections member Tara Swiggart has a simple solution when her ~ice goes out. "Fake singing." said Swiggart. "Last year I strained my vocal chords and couldn't sing, I just mouthed it."

Chamber Choir's junior Christa Allison also has solutions for a sore voice.

"Either a mint or water or a cough drop can clean up your airways," said Allison.

It must work, because the crowds just keep coming.

All for and one for all!

Singing groups form a sense of belonging among stu de nts.

no auditions, no rejections, the lines are broken and the cliques fade away. Everyone gets along in this happy and caring place. No, it's not a dream, this place really does exist. It's in the ninth and tenth grade singing classes.

Singing classes for younger students have been designed to include everyone. They give students the chance to do something they enjoy without the pressure of having tq be the best at it. Each class consists of a mixed group, and an all- girls group. There are also two other groups, one girls and one guys, that consist of a variety of students grades 9 - 12. The groups are decided randomly so that no group is better than any other. Many of the students agreed

that they like being in the classes that consist of all one gender.

" I like singing with all girls. It makes it a lot less embaressing when you sing by yourself," said freshman Liz Leach.

Many of the students also talked of the friendships they had formed.

"I've gotten to know a lot of people through singing that I probably wouldn't have gotten the chance to really get to know in any other class," said sophmore Lindsey Sneller.

Ni nth and tenth grade singing classes give students the chance to get to know at least a few of their classmates on a more personal level, while doing something that they enjoy and feel good about. •

the players exchanged words of encouragement as they approached the freshly painted turf. The season was already off to a great start and the stadium lights gleamed down on the stands filled with fans. They took deep breaths to calm their nerves as they stepped up to the sidelines. The whistles blew and the 200-member team was off on another thrilling performance.

But don't look for any touchdowns because this 200 member team is the marching band The members of the band began work on their show in late July with ba•nd camp, which included three sessions a day for two weeks. Once school began, the band was on the field every morning by seven to get in an extra half hour of practice.

Even with such a large amount of members , the band was fi I led with motivation and everyone worked hard to get al I 200 members at every rehearsal. Many agreed that it was one of the best seasons in awhile.

"We had a higher talent level, better dedication, and a better instrument balance than in past years," said head director Jeff Lean.

The band was also excited by the support it received from the student body.

"Having the student body out there yelling and cheering for us really helped us get pumped about what we were doing," said junior bass-drum player Carmen Hranac.

The size of the band posed several challenges, though, especially when it came to fitting 200

people (with instruments) through one door into a room designed -for 100. They ran into other problems during band camp when they had to figure out how to work around the construction.

"We considered just working a bulldozer into our show," joked Lean.

Another obstacle faced by the band was the difficulty of the show music and the drill. The directors chose a Russian theme for the music. Even several judges mentioned that they admired the directors for picking such a challenging show. ·

"The music is great outdoors and people could rec9gnize the tunes without knowing them exactly," said Lean. Many members agreed that the music was good for band competition.

"I thought this year's music was more to the judges liking," said junior trumpet-player Adam Pont.

Lean attributed the bands success to assistant directors Del Whitman and Ky Hascal (who chose all the bands music). He also credited Alison Hackbarth, who choreographed all the flag routines, and new drumline coach Zack Niemann, who also put in many hours of work.

Even with all the students, the directors made a point to be sure no one was lost in the shuffle and that everyone was having fun with what they were doing. The band was rewarded for all their effort and dedication by pulling off a great look, sound, and an awesome season.

Sound like a zoo? It's not. It's just a typical rehearsal of the Blue Note Jazz Band

A smaller group consisting of 21 members, made it easy for the members to get to know one another more personally. Special bonds were formed among members who had participated in the jazz band throughout their high-school years.

Many of the senior members agreed that jazz band had been a life changing experience where through the shared love of the music they were able to meet Iife- long friends. They felt the freedom to be themselves and express their feelings.

"I like Jazz because it's not so straight forward. You do what you think and it allows you to express yourself in you( own way," said senior trombone player Cory Doolittle.

All the members felt comfortable and formed great friendships not only with each other, but also with the di re ::: to 1 Jeff Lean.

"I've become really good friends with Mr. Lean throughout the years. I feel like I can talk to him about an )· thing," said senior guitar player Paul Beckwith.

The close friendships often brought laughter to the group.

"I like jazz band because you can joke around w i 1 anybody without being afraid of offending anyone," said sE 1io r alto sax player Laura Youngman.

The parting seniors felt that jazz band played a lar f e role in their high school years and were all in agreement t r 1t it would be one of the things they would miss most and rem E 11ber longest. Although they were "Blue" about leaving they were also eager to give a new generation of students the chance to experience the close knit looseness of the Blue Note jazz band.

Brotherly /Sisterly

Siblings share a love of music.

It's not very often that siblings get the chance to work together on anything beyond the usual family projects. United by the common love of music though, several of East's sisters and brothers are sharing at least one class- orchestra.

"There are certain pros and cons to having your sister in the same class," said senior violinist Shannon Kuehn. "It stinks to have her around all the time, but she's a good kid and is fun to hang out with. Sometimes."

Some of East's musicians were actually influenced by their siblings to play.

"I heard my sister play the violin and I thought it was pretty cool," said sophomore violinist Alissa Kuehn.

Other students had different experiences that led the to the instrument they now play.

"When I was in fourth grade they brought all the instruments to the classroom. I got to hold the violin and it felt so light and little," said senior

violinist Rachel Janssen whose brother, Eric, is also a member of the orchestra. For some, it was a parent who brought them to music.

"My dad signed me up for the French horn in fourth grade," said freshman Eric Janssen.

Shannon Kuehn had a unique experience that influenced her to playing the violin.

"I used to watch "Sesame Street" and there was this guy who always played the violin. I remember thinking how cool it was and that, yeah, I could do that. I begged my mom to start and so, when I was 5, I started lessons," she said.

No matter why they decided to play, the orchestra members can agree on one thing: it is hard work. Many have no plans to continue their music after graduation, but they will always it in their lives.

"It's something that I'll always have and be able to fall back on," said Shannon Kuehn.

Survey

Student Council surveys student body to gain opinions for the year.

"creative energy" is the phrase that student counci I vice- president Chrissy Kirchner used to describe the '97-'98 counci I. The counci I started out the year presenting the student body with a survey to get their opinions on the council, the school, and the new administration.

"We got a lot of positive input about most of the administration, but a lot of students commented on how they didn't feel included at East," said sophomore, Jay Rose.

In an effort to respond to the suggestions, the council made sure to advertise all East events They also placed a suggestion box in the classroom of the teacher of the week so that students wi 11 have a chance to present ideas that make them feel more involved.

"The survey gave us a lot to think about but I wish that people

Steph Kreifels would have explained to us how they would like things to be different instead of just criticizing how things are," said Kirchner.

The energy of the group was reflected in their hard work.

"We are a lot more serious this year than last year, but it has helped us to get alot more done," said Rose

Every Friday the council would do community service. In December they participated in the Jingle Bell Run for the Arthritis Foundation. Throughout the year they sponsored several events for the student body including the Pajama Jam and Snatraps. The council attended the Student Council districts.

The council's efforts to give , the student body the chance to express their ideas was well received by the students and the '97-'98 council proved to be one of the most productive in years.

Spirit Council finds many ways to help increase school spirit.

by: Carrie Diffenderfer ' is year's Spirit Council is showing their Spartan spirit in many ways. The 0 members worked on many things in the past year including Homecoming, Spirit Week, Harvest of Books and the Lincoln Action Program. Their first activity was planning all the Homecoming activities, including the pep rally and the dance. Freshman members Erin Duncan and Carrie Frey both agreed that doing the decorations for homecoming was the most fun.

Duncan and Frey enjoy the club because they can play a part in East High School. ·

"It's hard when you are a freshman to be active in the school, but spirit council is a great opportunity to get involved", Frey said.

Another big event that Spirit Council sponsored was Spirit Week. The week is filled with many activities but the biggest activity this year was the newly-added Spirit Week dance. Money from the dance ws used towards buying the marquee that will be put outside the school. "Dr Sicoli wants the best so we 1 re giving it to him."said sponsor Anne Forch.

During the holiday season the members worked with the Lincoln Action Program and handed out presents to less-fortunate children.Another out-of-school project they took part in was Harvest of Books. The members travelled to elementary schools and gave books to first graders.

"My favorite activity was definately Harvest of books" said senior Kathie Leach.

Members got satisfaction they all got out of working with all the differant people. I became close to everyone in the club and I met a lot of new people", said freshman Abby Poppe.

Scrooged out of Spirit Week?

one hardly thinks of Scrooge or the Grinch when it comes to Spirit week. But sometimes preparations for Spirit week can turn one into the Grinch or Scrooge. Spirit week can take a lot out of a person and many problems can be encountered. •

"Some of our problems so far have been not many class members have shown up, until recently. Also organization has been a problem for us," said freshman Jake Hoppe.

Most of the problems for this years spirit week seemed to have been triggered by orginization . . Problems are also revolved around the skits themselves, which isn't really anything new. There have always been problems with the skits being disaproved in the past years.

"The problems that we have encountered so far mostly deal with things like put downs to other classes and sexual inuendos. I see the role of spirit week as being somethini to build school spirit and pride, it 's meant to be positive, not negative," said Principal Dr. Scioli

While problems with the skits may be one thing that's a similarity with past years, what were some of the differences from past years?

" I think us seniors are getting spirit week burn out or som~thing. Spirit weeks only something you can do so many times," said senior Josh Lupher. "But when spirit week rolls around again, we're all pumped up about it again," says Lupher.

stereo-

Students around East had to deal with stereo-types associated with their clubs.

"computer nerd" and "hacker". These are just a few remarks that come to mind when some people hear about East's computer club called Microtech. Those comments sre coming from the club's members themselves.

"We take pride in being nerds. Whenever we do get called computer nerds, it's by someone within the club. We just joke about it with each other," said junior member Matt Peck.

Now that the computer nerd stereotype is in the clear, what about being called hackers?

"It used to be that a hacker was a person who broke into network systems and programs when they shouldn't be. Now, it's just someone who has a great deal of computer knowledge," said senior member Justin Dykema.

"I consider myself a hacker as opposed to a cracker.

Most of my time is spent preventing hackers, so it's nice to ! one," said junior member Blaine Kahle.

For people in clubs such as DECA, stereotypes don get tossed their way. Something that they do get tossed, though, is a lot of fun and traveling.

"We work in the school store, have holiday parties, to Laser Quest and World's of Fun. We also have conferences," said Sophmore DECA member, Betsy Hall.

Some say that traveling and the conferences are the best part about DECA.

"The best part about being a DECA member is miss , school, and getting to travel to exquisite places for our con i ences," said junior DECA officer Eric Weber.

"It's just an all around fun club to engage in," said Weber.

Fun is key to both clubs success.

Service clubs show concern for the school and community.

Imagine this. You're new to East; you don't know your way around and you don't know anyone. You wander around the unfamiliar halls by yourself, but not for long. Soon you are greeted by one or two students who show you around and introduce you to other people.

Ambassadors Club, LESO, and Peer Helping are clubs that promote unity and go out of their way to make East and its surrounding community a better place.

"We had a Toy Drive and took toys to the Indian Center around Christmas. It was really appreciated," said junior Ambassadors member Carmen Hranac. "It makes me feel good to help others."

Along with the Toy Drive, Ambassadors Club sponsored a freshman dance, sold hot chocolate before school in the freezing winter months and daisies in the spring. They had a New-Student Orientation, along with a scavenger hunt, helping new student to become acquainted with the school.

"We help new students feel welcome at East because being new can be hard," said senior Ambassador member Katie Belka. "We try to make East a place students already here are welcome as well."

Peer Helpers also help students to feel at home at East. They hosted a student gathering where students took part in a game. Peer Helping also worked with specialeducation students in music class every Wednesday, put on AIDS/HIV awareness presentations, talked to trouble teens, and brought in speakers, such as a Lincoln Public Schools acting group. The major goal of the Peer Helping members was to learn to listen and be observant in order to better help others.

"It's important for us to become better listeners and better at observing things in people because many people feel that no one understands them and they need to know that someone, like us, cares," said senior Peer Helping member Marc Schlegel.

Another service club, LESO, showed Cq.re and concern for others by putting on a book drive for elementary students, a canned food drive, sponsoring Random Acts of Kindness week, made Valentines for nursing homes, and volunteered at other various organizations.

"We are a club that is involved at East yet we go out of East's boundaries and into the community," said senior LESO member Crystal Petersen. "We work with a variety of different people from elementary schools to nursing homes. It is a great experience."

Striving for i\cc «p anc«

GSA

and ·United Voices promote acceptance through activies and discussions.

"reaching out" is a goal for United Voices and GSA, two East clubs that hope to change the face and attitudes of East. United Voices and the GayStraight Al I iance (GSA) promote acceptance of al I people.

United Voices promotes multicultural awareness and involves students in multicultural activities. Group members participated in the Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Rally, and saw different dance groups perform. It's all part of their self-education.

GSA worked on educating people about issues dealing with sexuality.

"We talk about different issues in school, like if somebody was harassed that day, ways to change it, and ways to educate a lot of people at once," said junior Julia Jones, one of the cofounders of GSA.

GSA members also participate in activities around Lincoln that concern homosexual issues.

"We attend All-City meetings and will help with Pride Prom for the first time this year,"

said junior Brad Bartholomai, the other cofounder.

United Voices also takes part in city-wide activities.

"We prepare a program for the Foreign Language Festival at UN L," said junior Katherine Whiting.

The members of United Voices are planning a clr-ildren's book, "Look Deeper," with animal characters. They have also made it into a play, which they performed at elementary schools.

United Voices accepts people of all nationalities and is interested in learning about different cultures.

GSA welcomes anyone who wants to be a member, regardless of sexuality.

United Voices and GSA welcome anyone who is accepting of and willing to learn about different lifestyles. Both groups are working to make East an accepting and comfortable place for al I students.

East clubs work ha _ rd to improve the community.

whc1.t causes a group of people to join together? For S.T.O.P. Club (Spartans Teaching Others Preven-~ tion) and Ecology Club members it was the desire to make a difference and have an impact.

"We want to educate others about a I ifestyle free of drugs and how much fun it can be. We want to be positive role models for other students," said senior S.T.O.P. Club member Leah Wolf. Edu cation is important to the Ecology Club, too.

"We hope to widen the perspective of our school on how everything we do has a direct impact on the earth and how we can improve the current conditions," said junior Ecology member Tyson Haase.

Both of the clubs set up several activities throughout ihe year to promote the purpose of their clubs. The S.T.O.P. Club, sponsored by Mrs. Tucker, was responsible for the Halloween Dance, the change wars for St. Monica's Alcohol Abuse Center for Women, and for bringing in speakers from M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). The Ecol-

ogy Club, sponsored by Mr. Flowerday, did several activities throughout the year that many students may not have realized. They posted ecological reminders around the school and in the student bulletin, and helped plant tress in Prairie Peace Park.

"We've started recycling bins in the student and teacher lounges. . We cal led Coke and Pepsi to see if we could recycle the plastic bottles. We even put facts in the 'Bathroom Business'," said senior Ecology member Terra Townley.

One member of the S.T.O.P. Club had the privilege of representing our school in Washington, D.C.

"I got the opportunity to go to Washington, D.C. this summer to attend the National S.A.D.D. _(Students Against Destructive Decisions) Conference. It was a great experience," said senior S.T.O.P. club officer Emily Kinnan.

No matter ho.w much ti me or effort these clubs required, the members were willing to give it so that they could make a difference.

Game of '&

Members know all the right moves.

i's a game of skill, strategy and patience. You watch your opponent's every move like an eagle watching her prey. You see an opportunity and you make your move. The tension is almost unbearable as you position your piece, giving your opponent a slow, steady smirk as the words role smoothly off your tongue."Check mate."

The game is chess and the slightest decisions can determine whether you win or lose the game.

" I try to psychologically break my opponent," said junior Ian Wagner.

The Chess club has around10 members and meets after school every Thursday so the club members can play each other and sharpen their skills.

" A lot of people think you have to be a chess master to be in the club but that's not true. We would be happy to teach new members how to play or get a chance to play against a _ new face," said Wagner.

The chess club is trying to organize a city - wide tournament or competition.

Learning chess is an on- going process. "Every time you play you pick up new ideas and you learn subconsciously what to do in a certain situation so that it becomes second nature," said junior Blaine Kahle.

The basic concept of chess is not difficult to learn but a player's strategies can only get better by playing against an challenging opponent.

"Chess is easy to learn but is hard to master," said Kahle.

It's the nations most interesting, fastest growing, and most entertaining science competition, it's called Science Olympiad. It's a team competition that covers anything from DNA to water rockets. Two students are assigned to each event and work for months towards the state competition. East had many returning students to the team, but a new advisor. This was the first year that Ms. Herrington was is in charge of the East team. In the previous years, it has been Mr. Koehn.

Jaime Roach has been competing in Science Olympiad since seventh grade and last year finished second in her event "Structural Engineering."

"My goal this year is to beat Southeast and finish first," said Roach. One thing is for sure though, there is a lot of reason to get involved.

For senior Jennifer McHale, Science Olympics gave her a chance to develop friendships and get good references for college.

"It's great that I get a chance to apply all of my science knowledge and learn on my own," said McHale. Science Olympiad is existing and it gives the students a chance to show what they have been learning and what they can accomplish.

Breaking th 0

National Honor Society works to achieve more.

pi::econceived notions can be tough to break. However, this was just the goal of this year's National Honor Society. Previous National Honor Society groups have been criticized for their lack of projects, but this year's group focused on breaking tha t mold.

" Under our new leadership we ' re focusing on getting out i n the community more and taking more of an active role, n ot in name only ," said senior member Emily Ashby. She wanted to be a part of National Honor Society because it's important to her to perform service to the community. Senior

President Ginger Wachter has a different reason for wanting to be in National Honor Society

" It ' s a great chance to interact with fellow scholars," Wachter said As president , she also made it her focus to expand the service projects that the group performs.

"National Honor Society has a reputation for not doing anything , so we wanted to do more projects to get more people involved. Our class is very eager and they want to help. I think that ' s why we've been able to make it a success," Wachter said.

In December the National Honor Society collected money for Operation Santa Claus and made $325 in one day for the cause. ~ side from the Operation Santa Claus project, in December the members worked for the Lincoln Action Program , and they planned a not her project in February before the annual blood drive in March

With all the new projects , this year's members of National Honor Society kept busy , helped break that idea of a " club for the smart kids ", and made a great contribution to the community at the same time

The speech and debate teamS c6mpete individually but remain united.

in most team situations, knowing about your teammates and their tendencies is vital to the success of the team. Any sports team would find it tough to be win if they weren't aware of how the,ir teammates played. In speech and debate though, the teams find ways to succeed even if t hey they're divided by walls and rooms.

The speech team members compete in a variety of events, each completely different from the next. The members, though, still support their teammates and stay a team.

"We support each other by going to watch their rounds and congratulating each other when we do well. Also, there are many events that are not individualized, so there can be a team effort," said junior Andy Rutledge. Rutledge competes in three events that are all quite different.

One tool that the team uses to promote unity and success is the Big Brother and Big Sister program. Each new member has a big brother or big sister who is experienced in the newcomer's event. The big brother or big sister can answer

questions and help the younger member become part of the team.

"It helps give everyone a connection to t he rest of the team and gives the younger members someone to talk to if they have any question s," said senior captain G i nger Wachter

With the traveling and pra c tice time , the team also stays united by getting to know the other members.

"The amount of time we spend together and the nature of the members provides for a cohesiveness within the team , " Wachter said. Senior Krishna Rao also feels that togetherness is important.

"Our speech team is unique in one as• pect: our sense of unity arises not from our similarities but from the strength derived from our differences," Rao said.

Even though the speech and debate teams are separate in their competition, they find ways to create a team mentality, make new friends , and have some fun in the process.·

Dollfins and SCUBA are both swimming towards success.

ng legs make their peak at the su rface o f t he wa t er ' s edge , g i ving a glimpse of a silver and blue suit. Music and lights accompany the movements, in and out of the water; all this drama and this is only one of the 12 acts in the two-hour East Dollfins Show.

The show takes place every Apri I and is sponsored byDeb Essex , who has been a part of the Dollfins for nearly 20 years. A lot of work and planning go into de sig n in g a show

"We work first semester build i ng enduran ce," said junior Johanna Madsen. " We practi c e three t i mes a week and spend two days a week in the weight room. "

Being a Dollfin require s many skills ; 60 percent of the routine is spent underwater , where touching the bottom is forbidden.

"You have to have good lung capacity , flexibil i ty , concentration, and determination ," said senior Sarah Delabarre.

The goal is to get as much of your body above the water as you can, which isn't an easy task. Dollfins isn ' t all work, though. The 20 members who make up the club have shared some fun times, too

"Two years ago we were using sunglasses as a prop for our show and one of the girls jumped into the pool without taking them off," said Madsen.

Dollfins isn't the only underwater club offered at East. Donna Wilson sponsors the SCUBA Club. The club , which started last year , meets every Tuesday to discuss u pcoming activities.

"We have taken field trips to the IMAX theater in Omaha and toured the aquarium there at the zoo , " said Wilson.

The club requires no special skills and members don't have to know how to swim in order to join. In order to become certified , each member needs to complete a three - hou r class, along with three hours in the pool. Training is concluded when each member attends a two-day session in Kearney, where they do an open-water dive.

" Our SCUBA patches were given to us underneath the water once we had completed our training, " said SCUBA Club president senior Michelle Frederickson. Interest for both clubs has increased as students have shared their water experier:1ces with others.

"By word of mouth and students going around , the interest for the SCUBA Club has improved, " said Wilson.

Quietly Making 21\t~

The Special Olympics participants achieve without the usual recognition.

, t students have always excel led in many areas, and their accomplishments are usually well known throughout the school. However, there are some students who are accomplishing many things but don't receive the usual recognition The participants in the Special Olympics don't usually make the morning announcements , but the experience is still an invaluable one for them.

Special O l ympics provides an opportunity for handicapped students to participate in a number of sports, including basketball, track & field , bowling, swimming , and power lifting, and to receive medals for participation.

"It provides a great opportunity for competition for these kids They enjoy the sports just like other athletes," said sponsor Sue Palmer. She talks to the coaches and makes sure the students earn their letters. A student can earn an East High

128 Alternative Learning

letter through 3 years of pa rticipation in Special Olympic s.

"They have the oppo rtunity to earn a letter that other kid s can earn and it makes them feel good , " said Palmer

The students get a lot out of the Special Olympics besides the medals and letters It is also a grea t way to m a ke friends.

" At first I was scared and shy, but I started talking to them to make new friends ," said Special Olympian Amy Odom. Odom , who is a junior , enjoys the competition the Special Olympics provides.

" It is very good to go out and compete against the other team and practice with them before the games , " said Odom

The satisfaction and success that come from Special Olympics deserve the same recognition as East's other successes. These special athletes, all of them, are winners

Stop the

Late nights and laughter make publications.

you've forgotten an assignment in your locker, so now you are back at school at six o'clock at night. As you head down the hall, you see students going in and out of the journalism room. Walking by you see students at computers. Who are these crazy people, don't they know that school ended hours ago? They are the students who belong to the journalism staffs. Deadlines often forced students to stay long hours after school getting assignments done.

This year the Journalism department consisted of the Newspaper, Web Page, and Yearbook. Due to budget cuts, East no longer has the magazine "Stasis." A journalism class is like no other. In these classes your homework is displayed for the whole student body to read. Journalism students have an obligation to report on what concerns students at East, from what they are involved in to how the world is affecting them. Students on staff must also sell advertisements to help fund their publications.

Being on staff is hard work, but it has it rewards,

"These classes are really fun and you should look into them if you like to write," said junior Erick Sowthworth. This year, Southworth

was on both the Newspaper and Web Page staffs. Friendship and communication are two important parts of Journalism.

"You have to be able to talk to others in the class to get things done," said senior Yearbook Co-editor Eileen Chalupa. Chalupa has been on staff since her sophomore year and was also on staff at Lefler Junior High. For her, Yearbook is just not another class, it is preparation for the future.

"I plan to major in Journalism and eventually go on to a large magazine somewhere," said Chalupa. Many students on staff are in their second or third year. Although they must cover the same things each year, they still enjoy doing it.

"I was in the web class at Burke," said sophomore Brittney Svododa, now a member of the East Web Page. Students who are in the Journalism classes are willing to work late to bring East its reading material. They work together form start to finish. They even do it for the fun.

"Th is is my favorite class of the day," said sophomore Brandi Bock, the honorary Production editor of the Yearbook.

The night the lights went out in Lincoln.

black sheet covers Seacrest Field. The darkness is so complete that you cannot see the person standing in front of you. The last thing that you remember is watching senior Ryan Knollenberg running down the field towards the end zone. Did he score? No one was quite sure, for the I ights had mysteriously gone out at Seacrest Field. One thing we do know; i( was a 34-10 win against Lincoln High.

"We had to cal I out everybody's name so that we could find our softball team , who were sitting tdgether at the time," said senior Kathie Leach. "We just grabbed onto the shirt of the person in front of us and went up the stairs, out of the stadium."

This was one of many games the mighty Spartans won that helped put them in the playoffs for the first time since 1983.

The Spartans started off strong, winning their first two games. It was the first time inl 4 years that they had won two games in a row. The wins kept coming, along with the publicity.

"All the publicity is wonderful. It's not only good for the program and school, but it's changed our image and how the public views us," said senior quarterback Matt Daharsh.

The future for East High football is bright,

with the J.V team win~ing the tity Championship and Varsity going to the playoffs.

"The football program is going to continue to turn around as the players develop confidence in their fellow teammates and the intensity picks up," said J.V Coach David Seizys. Varsity Coach John Gingery agrees.

"If the guys stay dedicated and set high goals for the next year, we won't lose the groundwork laid out this season and we'll continue to win some games," said Varsity Coach Gingery. Facing adversity, both from opponents and from injuries, brought the team together.

"The team has gotten real close. Due to more injuries, we had to pick it up more to replace what we lost in players," said junior Matt Beaudette.

"No matter what happened, one of my greatest memories wi 11 always be how the team was willing to give their all, every minute of every game. They did what ever it took to pull through," said Daharsh of the 5-4 Varsity team.

The mighty Spartans went out with flying colors as they entered the play-offs. It was a turnaround season for a team that found itself the night the I ights went out at Seacrest.

pravReserve football team had a building season.

~ th a record of 2-5 this season the East Spartans Reserve team has a lot to improve on before next year.

"The biggest disappointment this year was that we did not win city," said sophomore Ryan White, "We did developed more as a team late in the season." This can be shown by the late season games that the team was able to win over two tough teams. It just took a I ittle time to get into the swing of things.

The freshmen also faced a dissapointment, which came at the tai I end of the season.

"We missed our last game bacause it got cancelled by a snowstorm," said freshman Justin Siefkus.

Both the freshman and reserve football tams have al read set goals for the next season.

"We need to get stronger this summer and work twice as hard next season," said sophomore quarterback Jay Bahm.

Clearly the team was better than their record showed, they had great players with lots of talent.

"We beat ourselves with all of the turnovers and penalties we had," said reserve player Darin Docter.

• Both teams agreed that they came together better at the end of the season and are looking forward to next fal I.

The Junior Varsity and Varsity volleyball teams were diggin' up wins with their skills and team unity.

fhis year's Varsity and JV volleyball teams brought home a lot of wins for East. Even though one team had played together for years while the other was full of fresh new faces, both turned in good records.

"One advantage to having teammates that I hadn't played with before is that you became a more wel I-rounded player because you don't know how everyone plays in different situations on the court ," said sophomore JV player Holli Gillette. Because the JV team wasn't used to playing together, though, they didn't have some of the advantages Varsity did.

"We've all been playing together for three or four years. We know how each other reacts and plays the ball so we can expect certain plays," said senior Varsity player Lisa Webster. The players know that familiar faces can improve a game in other ways.

"Playing with the same people for a long time helps so that there's less confusion out there

on the court," said Varsity player Krissa Palmer. Both teams had many season highlights.

"I've learned a lot from my teammates and it's really cool to see how well we've gotten to know each other because I hadn't ever played with most of them before," said freshman JV player Haley Novak. Others recall big tournaments

"We played a tournament in Iowa against a lot of Varsity teams and played really wel I! That was definitely the most fun we've had," said junior JV player Kelly Schneider. For many on the varsity team, their highlight was also a road trip.

"Our trip to Chicago for a tournament was the best part of the season for me," said Webster.

Back home, though, the Spartans made sure they were a force to be reckoned with.

"I think we've played really well this season and proved a lot of people wrong," said Webster.

Working to .gether helps us succeed.

· ·

creams and cheers rise from the cro"wd. Adrenaline is pumping. Hearts pounding. Sneakers squeaking.

Yelling, raging athletes calling each others names, moving towards the ball in a synchronize move. Bump. Set. Spike. Hands moving. Knees falling to the floor. Volleyball is all about teamwork and communication. ~

Each level of high school volleyball is different, Just as High-school volleyball differs from middle-school intramural volleyball.

"It's a lot more competitive than in middle school," said freshman Courtney Eurek. "They treat you like you are on a different level."

Because it is more competitive, as the years progress, the level of volleyball will gets more difficult.

"It's harder from the lower levels to the higher levels," said sophomore Molly Molsen. "Your skills have to improve to make it to a higher level."

Freshman Kessondra Mays agrees that the different leve ls of play get tougher.

"I think it gets harder as you get older. There are more extremes in the game itself; the competition is' better," she said.

One thing that never changes, though, is the need for teamwork. Teamwork is what gets the game going.

"Volleyball is a team sport but it starts with skilled individuals. And you put individual skill together to work as a team. Without it, the team would be chaos," said sophomore Jennifer Meierhenry.

Teamwork also plays a part of in goal-setting.

"As a team, we wanted to be undefeated, and work our hardest," said freshman team member Eurek. "As individuals, we · always try our hardest, and to learn as much about volleyball as we can."

One of reserve Volleyball's goals was communication. -If there's no communication, then there is no determination to win.

"The first part of our season, our team had a little communication, but not enough," said Meierhenry. "At one of our practices, the coach got upset and made us play a scrimmage without communication, so we would be able to see how hard it is not to communicate. Then we got the picture."

Each team reached at least some of their goals. Even though Reserves didn't always win, Molsen had more than a great season because she learned about more than just winning.

"In the finals we played against Southeast. The first round we played, we beat them for the first time," said Molsen. "Then in the last two rounds they beat us. We still felt proud because we played really hard."

Just when you think you can't run anymore • you get a boost of energy... runner's high

t first, when you think of the sport cross-country , you may think "How could somebody run for that long at such a fast pace?" Senior David Sneddon could easily answer this question. He could run and run because or what is called runner's high Now a lot of you are probably thinking ... "Runner's high? What exactly is runner's high?"

" Runner ' s high is when you get to a point in the race when your body is just totally tired and you don ' t think that you can possibly run anymore , then all of the sudden, you get a big boost of energy and feel like you could keep running forever," said Sneddon.

But aside from runner's high, cross country runners have the motivation to run and keep running.

"What makes me want to run

142 Cross Country

is to meet new people, to get in shape, and also the fact that it's something you can improve on and get better at," said freshman runner Diana Pierson.

The cross-country runners also seemed to like the competition, whether their biggest competition was themselves, the other teams, or even people on their same team.

"My biggest competition I would have to say, were the guys who were ahead of me on the top ten list," said Sneddon.

"I was my biggest competition. I set really high expectations for myself and I always try my best to meet them," said Pierson

For most of us, we don't have the motivation and determination to run for such -a long distance, but it's a trip to the park to go and watch!

Girls' golf members look forward to playing after high school

Jthough lugging a bag full of golf clubs may not be the ideal situation on a beautiful day, seniors Amber Uffelman and Deb Zorn don't mind Both seniors have been playing golf since childhood.

" It was just something my :family did, so I just picked it up. I've been playing since I could walk," said Zorn, who helped the team win the city tournament this year

"It was the first time ever for us to win City golf," said Uffelman.

Winning both the City and Conference tournaments was a great way to prepare for Districts and beyond. Both Uffelman and Zorn plan on playing golf next year at the college level.

"I want to play for a Division 1 school like the University of Iowa. If that doesn't work, a smaller school like Buena Vista or Doane," said Zorn.

Whether or not a school had a golf program was important to both seniors.

"I want to make sure they have golf at their school, but the academics are more important," said Uffelman.

The seniors are looking for schools that offer a well-rounded environment. They're looking for a hole in one.

East team still out for glory. ..

Is East tennis a dying dynasty?

The teams say "No way! " The teams decided to take a little different focus and work more on group and individual improvement then on winning. Every person made an effort to improve his game.

Coach Jeff Hoham said the players were a mixed bag of talent but all had one thing in common. A lot of hear(

The teams supported eachother in part by the older more experienced players helping and advising their many teammates who had Iittle to no experience at al I.

Despite a losing record, fun seemed to be the name of the game

146 JV & Varsity Tennis

for this years' teams.

"We always had fun no matter how bad we lost" said senior, varsity player Sean Nelson. Part of that fun was in the form of teasing.

"There was always a lot of friendly taunting going on ," said junior, JV player , Brian Hastert.

The tennis team may not have taken state but they were proud to have set a high - school record of having the longest streak of top- ten finishes. East finished eighth at state.

Coach Hoham has great confidence in his upcoming players and is looking forward to winning sea'sons in the future.

The gymnasts are head-over-heals about the contributions of the seniors on the team

_. xperience is one of the best teachers. What people learn from their past actions can give them an edge over a competitor who is new to the experience. This kind of knowledge demonstrates the importance of experienced competitors in a team situation. For the boys and girls gymnastics teams, the way they utilized the experiences of past years made for a successfu I and fun season.

"The seniors on the team encouraged us a lot during meets. They were our role models," said sophomore Jessica Barnes. Because of their experience in meets, the seniors were the ones to come to with a concern.

"We really tried to help the younger team members and be there for them. If they had a problem they would come to us," said senior Andrea Timmons.

The boys team had more experience to go on for this season.

The returning competitors had won the state title last year, and were ready to repeat.

"Our exper.iences from the state meet last year were really helpful for this year. We knew what to expect," said senior Dustin Jakub. The boys used that knowledge to acheive another state title.

While senior leadership was important in competition, the gymnasts also took advantage of all the fun ideas the seniors provided

"We al I went out to movies and to dinner a lot. They really encouraged us to be a team, and we had a lot of fun," said Barnes.

The seniors on the gymnastics team this year provided much more than tough competition for other schools and their teammates. Their influence and experience helped the younger gymnasts learn to be good leaders when their own senior year arrives.

Along with the new reserve team, the softball teams had an impressive year.

ehe pitcher's arm goes back and suddenly the ball flies through the air, you hear the sound of the ball splitting the air. Deep in your heart , you know what this sport is all about. It's more than just the motions of the game. It's a feeling of accomplishment, knowing your teammates are counting on you.

More players were able to experience this incredible feeling this year, thanks to the creation of a reserve softball team. Led by Coach Chuck "Mo" Morgan, the reserve team had a great first year, helping prepare some players for the more advanced teams, while introducing the sport to others.

"A lot of us were playing for the first time and we improved a lot over the season," said freshman reserve player Sarah Fairbanks.

Since the team was new they had fewer games against fewer schools. Despite the short season, the teammates had several good memories.

"I li'ked the bus rides. I got to know people better, and I could act wild and crazy and no one cared," said freshman Reserve/J.V. player Erin Jablonski.

One of the lasting memories for Fairbanks was when the team participated in its final tournament at Fremont.

"We rode up there and it was a lot of fun.

We won one of our three games but we did really well," said Fairbanks.

Both teams agree that the reserve team will help East softball in the future.

"They (t he Reserves) all have improved. saw improvement their second week . They will all move up and move onto bigger and better things," said junior J.V. captain Stacy Lemon

Leading the J.V. girls for a second year was Coach Forsburg, and who not only helped the girls with their batting but with their off-thefield problems

"Forsburg was the best. I could talk to her about anything. She is pretty cool! " said Lemon.

Some of the Varsity players have been playing softball for one team or another for1 2 years. The Varsity team's strength came from having a long tradition of working together.

"A lot of us have played for so long that we know how each other work. We know how to play as a team ," said senior Dara Jones.

Despite a slow start, the Varsity ended its season with an impressive second-place finish at districts. Down by only two runs, the team gave the spectators a good game.

"East has an outstanding softball program, the coaching staff is very good, the players are extremely dedicated, and its been a privilege playing softball at East," said Jones.

lntramurals and bowling provide a ti m e for sports and work.

ou have a good job and you want to play sports but you don't have alot of time to give. What should you do? lntramurals sports are a good option.

"lntramurals gives me a chance to play basketball and still have time for work" said senior basketball player Jeff Johnson.

Players enjoy the competition between teams and are happy to have a chance to play an organized game with fellow students. Students also pick the team name and are their own coaches.

"Everyone wants to win but it's more about having a good time than anything else," said senior basketball player Dustin Reiman.

Mr. Spahn is the organizer of intramurals for the second year in a row. Spahn spends three to four days a week organizing which teams play who what time they play and helps referee.

"I enjoy organizing and reffing because it gives me a chance to get to know the students and watch them compete and have a good time." said Mr. Spahn.

So next year remember if you don't have enough time to play high school sports you can have alot of fun with intramurals.

City Games add a little spice to the basketball schedule.

hearts are pounding, the crowd is roaring, and something more important than a record is on the line, namely bragging rights. The competition between intra-city varsity and junior varsity boys basketball teams is a long-standing tradition.

"We usually know · people on the other city teams and have played against them for years, and we develop rivalries against those players," said senior Varsity player Sean Nelson.

Adding to the excitement of

rivalries are the atmosphere and emotions that come with those games.

"There are a lot more people there and the crowd gets more involved. That gets everyone fired up," said Jared Calver, a junior on the varsity squad. The same situation is true for the junior varsity squad.

"In the intra-city games, everyone is really focused on the game and play with a higher intensity on the court," said junior Scott Lee.

With all the added emphasis on these games, the teams put forth extra effort to secure the win.

"In the intra-city games, the bench really steps up. Everybody has to be ready to play, to go in at any time and play their role," said Nelson.

While these long-standing rivalries put more pressure on the players, the advantages of a win are •more than enough to justify the extra effort, making the games more fun to play and watch.

freshman and sophomore boys work hard to reach their goals.

iehe freshman / reserve boys basketball t eams worked their way to many victories. The reserve team was made up of al I sophomores and

one fresh man .

" The freshman , Dwight a.k.a. Dwidget raised our level of play in every game ." said sophomore Chris Churchill.

" On several occasions Dwight dunked the ball and elevated the le v el of play " said Churchill. Having the best boys' record at East wasn ' t easy "We worked hard and earned the best boys basketbal I record at East " said sophomore Matt Melichar. In the regular season the reserve

boys lost only two games , both to Southeast. "I wish we just could have beaten Southeast ", said Chris Churchill. Both Melichar and Churchill agreed that overall their season went wel I " Sometimes we fought,but over all our season was a great improvement from last year" , said Melichar.

The freshmen made a great impression in their first year playing East basketbal I. " High school basketbal I is a big change from Spirit and YMCA basketball, but our team has done well" , said freshman Jason Watson . Despite losing to Southeast the freshmen and reserve boys had fun , and were proud of their records.

Building back up to success after a difficult start.

Standing in the lineup with your teammates, you hear your name come through the speakers and a shrver runs down your spine. It's game time and your friends and family are there to cheer you on. The Girls Junior Varsity and Varsity Basketbal I players were among the few students who got to experience the excitement of stepping out onto the court.

"When I walk out onto the court, I feel pumped. I think, 'Here's my chance to show what I can do', and I know that I need to put forward 11 0 percent to get the job done/' said junior J.V. player Ann Janesch.

The excitement and love for the game helped both teams to succeed despite injuries and illness.

"We give it our all at practices," said senior Varsity member Jamie McProud. "If people are injured we try to support them. If they're sick we let them rest. Marisa Boyce's hurt ACL really hurt us but we worked around it. II

Several games were close this year and might have been won if the Spartans had the height to match their opponent.

"We've played a lot of our games close but we are at a disadvantage because of our height. Our team never gives up though. We try hard to the finish," said senior Varsity player Andrea Stover.

Both teams were fortunate enough to beat one of their biggest rivals despite their setbacks. The J. V. team won against Southeast and the Varsity won against Pius.

" -We beat Southeast and that was exciting because we haven't beaten them in four years," said junior J. V. member Melissa Dean. "We all put our hearts into the game."

"Beating Pius was one of my favorite moments. Pius has always been one of our biggest rivals," said McProud. "It was one of our bigger wins."

It is through teamwork and support that a team can be successful and for these two teams there was little lacking.

"Last year I was on the Freshmen basketball team. This year there's more teamwork and friendships," said Janesch.

Coaches provided the support. The J.V. team was led by Brain Kabourek and the Varsity team by Leo Jelineck.

"It helps to know the stuff I've done right and the I ittle positive notes," said junior Varsity member Nicole Rose.

These players hope the school knows that they were better than what the records showed.

"We work really hard and would appreciate it if more people would come to our games. We barely ever have anyone at our games," said Dean. "If they come out and see us, they would see that we're pretty good."

The freshman and reserve girls basketball have learned to use teamwork to enhance their playing.

s the ball is dribbled down the court, shouts of encouragement are heard on the side1ines from fellow team members. The ball is passed to an open teammate who tries for the shot. Teamwork is the key when it comes to playing their best and winning.

Freshmen and Reserve Girls Basketball team members have done things inside and outside of practice to help promote teamwork.

"We have gone to Valentino's, watched "Hoosiers," and gone to Varsity games," said freshman Reserve player Erin Jablonski.

During practice, the Freshmen members condition together and do other activities to encourage teamwork.

FreshM a 11

"We try to pass the bal I as much as possible, try not to hog the ball, and pass to open people," said freshman player Kel Ii Egr.

The Reserve team also does drills to promote teamwork and increase trust in teammates.

"We did this drill where we lay in a circle and one person stands up and jumps over us to promote trust," said sophomore Reserve player Katie Neddenriep.

Participating in these activities helps both teams' players work better together and feel unified.

"We have a lot of talent this year, and we're pretty unified," said Neddenriep.

East High Wrestlers pin for a successful sea

S''pladle." "Russian-Tie " " Cement job." These funky phrases can be heard floating around the new wrestling room. Moves like a "spadle" and "Russian-tie" are common among East's wrestlers. Though wrestling is often regarded as an individual sport, for Spartan wrestlers , their team unity makes the sport what it is.

"My team helps to push me at practices and give it my all when we practice," said senior varsity wrestler Marc Schlegel. Practicing and drilling certain moves and techniques over and over again makes the moves almost reflexive.

" For wrestling we have to be extremely good at certain moves , so we drill a million times on that technique until it becomes part of my nervous system and feels natural , " said Schlegel. Teamwork, team commitment , and team respect are essentials in wrestling. Teammates wrestle each other to build skills and if one teammate isn't giving it his all, the other doesn't gain as much skill.

"Our team gets really close because with wrestling we spend hours working out together, dieting together, pushing each other, and having fun , " said senior varsity Matt Wheeler. Teammates also helped support and encourage each • other when they got injured during the season.

"With our team we do a lot of stuff outside of wrestling with each other and get to know each other really wel I and we do stuff with the underclassman hoping that they'll continue our traditions," said Wheeler.

"I'm pretty tight with all the wrestlers. We really got to know each other with it's camps, car washes, and especially taco feeds," said varsity junior Ryan Petersen. The team also has their fair share of horseplay.

"Sometimes watching Pete and Nelson was better than watching WWF Monday night raw!" said varsity junior Brian Srb. This year's wrest Ii ng shared a bond that made them as close as brothers.

East's swimming teams are making a splash with their long standing tradition of.success.

"ou know that time of year when you look around school and certain people's hair starts to turn shades of yellow, blue, or green and then one day they have no hair at all. Rather then some strange epidemic it's just a sign of swim season. Hair dying and head shaving are just some of the many traditions of the teams.

Many of the traditions have existed for years. Before intra- city meets the swimmers dress up in the colors of the other school. The girls' team also has a group of cheers that they use before each meet to pump them up and, every year, Coach Greg Flemming's home "mysteriously" ends up teepeed.

New traditions are started every year. The boys' team made a new tradition of presenting each person who make s state-qualifying times with a stocking cap.

"When Matt Rauscher and Blake Fosdick

made their cuts, all the guys sat in the bleachers and Matt and Blake stood out in front of them. Then Andy Ash approached each of them said something to them and presented them with the cap and all the guys clapped. I couldn't hear what he said but it was so cute cause it was like a big ceremony," said senior standout Heather Schwab.

The long-standing tradition of sucess still stands.

"We had a lot of younger and less-experienced swimmers this year but they did great and we had a really good year," said junior Lindsey Heyen The influx of younger swimmers offers other positive resu Its.

"It's so nice being able to share my knowledge with the younger swimmers and I take a personal pride in their improvement," said Schwab.

Assistant-trainers behind the athletic scenes lend a helping hand.

ith all of the con struction going on , it was sometimes hard to get around school. This year the construction centered • on East and athletic facilitie s. While athletes are the clean wi nners in this phase of construction , some behind - the-scenes peo p l e are benefiting , as wel I. Mac and the assistant athletic trainers are enjoying their new training room, as well as everything else that comes with being a trainers.

"The new room is definitely better than the old one ," sa id senior Heather Bri stol. " Everything ' s a lot more organized tha n before and it ' s cleaner. "

"The other room was actually a locker-room and now with t h e new room , Mac even has his own separate office with w in dows , " said senior Sarah Ingersoll. The assistant-trainers ' respon sibilities range from taping ankles to doing laundry to help i n g athletes stretch.

" We can do a lot o f things , but if an athlete has a major injury we have t o let Mac take care of it, " said senior T.J. Kaspar. The new training room also provides more space for rehabilitation equipment for injured athletes. Injuries are what brought several trainers to this side of athletics.

"Most of the assistant trainers got into it because they got injured during tHeir season. I got injured during cross country," said senior Sarah Ingersoll. What keeps them there , though , are the people.

"I love getting to know a lot of other people ," said Bristol. Kaspar likes the exposure to a variety of sports.

"I think being an assistant trainer is a great experience. We volunteer about 2 to 3 hours a day of our time and can be involved in sports other than our own ," said Kaspar.

G\r goal for the 1998 Epic was to create a yearbook that was b~odern and playful in its design and cont ent. The theme . "Oh, the Places We ' ve Been" was chosen by editors Eileen Chalupa, Kelly Neemann and Rachel Jablonski during the Nebraska Journalism Summer Workshop. The theme was Jablonski's idea while the other editors helped carry it out in the design and content of the book.

Everything in the book, from the stories and layo,uts, to the photographs and advertising section, is the result of a concerted group effort. The 23 yearbook staff members put in long hours to produce a_high-quality product that fairly represented our school year.

Fourteen hundred copies of the Epic were printed by Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri. Pagemaker 5 .0 was used to complete the 31st edition of the Epic. Headline fonts used in this yearbook include: Litterbox , Party, Snap and Whimsy. Body copy fonts were Optane and Vagabond Rounded.

The yearbook staff thanks adviser Jane Holt for her organ ization and patience. We would also like to thank yearbook representative Mike Diffenderfer for his time and efforts to help us even when disaster(s) struck. We would also like to thank Walsworth plant representative Brenda Search for her quick responses and e~dless patience We also appr eciate East's adminstrative team for their support in the creation of this yearbook, as well as the many advertisers, parents and students who helped make this book shine.

Oh,

the C we'll go!

@h, the places we've been! Our teachers ilnd fellow students have he Iped to prepare us for our future, whether that future involves more high school, brings us to ou r first ye~r of co 11 ege or leads _ us into the WO rki ng world. The memories of the places we've been will always be with us as we move on.

Oh , the places we'll go! Our past may be known but the future is still a mystery. We can do anything. Whatever our future is, we will take what we have learned from the past and use it to shape our tOffiOrrO W.
