summers stretched out into forever. Now, as the summer comes to an end and it's time to .return to school, the one thing that makes returning almost bearable is the thought that you will get to see all of your friends who weren't around during the summer. You look forward to attending games and hanging out with your friends. That's what makes school so much fun, right?

This year, East students were as involved as ever. Over the summer, the boys basketball team went to Switzerland, soine Singers went to Europe, the girls basketball team went to Los Angeles, some soccer players went to Cuba, and many other students vacationed with families and friends.

When the school year started, East took on the job of building a Habitat for Humanity house, in front of the school for everyone to see. Also with the start of the school year came a new dress code, but that didn't stop people from trying new fashions, or continuing with the old.

The days of your life that are spent within the walls of East High will be some of the best. The friends that you make here will be a part of your life story forever, for they shape the person that you are and determine what you will become. So, treasure your time here and carry this story with you forever.

Dear Mom,

I'm really enjoying Olten, Switzerland. We have been doing so well in the Swiss All Star Basketball Tournament. We split up into three teams and haven't lost a game yet, except when we had to play each other. I thought that the competition would be a lot harder, but it has been really easy so far. I would want to go on a trip like this again, but somewhere else, where there was more difficult competition. We've been doing a lot of sightseeing and shopping. I'll talk to you soon!

Friends from day one

any people say that they will be "friends until the en ," b not many people have stood by their rd. Senior Abbey Karr says that her best friend, Jen Birdsall, is a motivator through her faith.

"Her [Birdsall's] faith is what I value most about her," said Karr.

Faith also brought freshmen Jenna Knapp and Anna Wolf together. They learned a lot about each other when they attended Youth Quake, a Christian youth gathering in Omaha, in the summer of 2000. Kenny, a member of the Christian singing group Captive Free, helped the girls in their own faith journeys.

"Kenny is a really cool Christian, and he helped us in our friendship and faith," said Wolf.

Like many friends, seniors Chris Olson and Bryan Rosenberger met in kindergarten at Pyrtle Elementary School. Olson and Rosenberger have both played soccer since kindergarten, although they haven't always been on the same team.

'We were rivals in kindergarten!" said Olson and Rosenberger in unison.

In elementary school, Olson would go over to Rosenberger s house every day after school. Playing hand soccer, a game they made up, they knocked over lamps and picture frames in Rosenbergers living room. Not only did they get into a little trouble at home, but also at school.

"We were the troublemakers on the playground!" said Rosenberger.

Although they have many soccer memories together, one of their best memories is their trip to Colorado to visit Rosenbergers brother in the Air Force

Academy. There they ate at Casa Bonitos, a family restaurant, and went to the Alpine Slide, but that got rained out. Both recall this trip as one of their favorites.

Birdsall and Karr have also taken many trips together, including trips to Branson, Maryville and Kansas City, MO, and New York City, NY. When Birdsall and Karr were in New York, Karr thought that she saw Cuba Gooding Jr. on the street. She was hysterical for about five minutes, until some ladies came up to her and said that he was the lead in the musical "Chicago."

"That was so embarrassing!" said Karr. Karr and Birdsall have known each other forever, literally. When Birdsall was four months old, she was a guest at Karrs baby shower. They didn't attend the same school until seventh grade, which often made it hard to see each other, yet the two have remained best friends.

Knapp and Wolf also met in kindergarten and played soccer together in elementary school. There was a point in time where they would alternate spending the night at each others houses every weekend. -In third grade, they got in a fight and didn't speak for three years.

"We hated each other!" said Knapp. They got over their differences in sixth grade and are best friends again.

Although many friends have had their small differences, these friends have stood by each other through the good times and the bad. Through their friendships, these students are role models to us all.

Friends Forever

Mostl 5 year olds spend their weekends hanging out with their friends. Not Ryan Durst. Even though he~s too young for a driver's license, Durst has won over 60 races with his sprint cars. Two to three times a week, Durst goes up against 4191111--•s some of the best sprint car drivers in the Nebraska area, including adults.

Skateboards have been around for a long time, longer than some of our parents in fact. What started out as a fun mode of transportation was transformed by some daredevils into an extreme sport. Today, you can walk down the street and see people of all ages and sizes doing the same hard core moves. Ollies, toe flips, heel flips, and a handful

racers, but my friends think its weird and doesn't require any • talent, but it does," said Durst. Durst started racing when he was l l years old, but his dad has been involved wit r it the duration of Dursrs life.

"I grew up goin ~~ to races and it just kinda happened [tha t I started racing] . My mom is always worried, but my dad loves it," said Durst.

longer a cheap sport either. 1People used to be able to buy a board for under ten bucks, but now ... you've got to have it all! Decks, wheels; ball bearings and grip tape are a sure guarantee that your price tag is running up! For some people, though, its still cheaper than buying gas for a car.

" I ride a skateboard of oth~r tricks all require tons of because .... well ..... my car practice and Band-Aids.

The words binding, ollie, stomp pad, and dge may not mean much to most people, but to the ever growing population -of snowboarders, they define their sport. Once the sport of ."grungies," snowboarding is catching on in all groups, even among teachers.

"When I tell people I snowboard, I usually get a positive reaction, but sometimes a surprised one. I guess I don't look like your average snowboarder," said business teacher Dorann Johnston.

Ifs popularity is taking people away from more traditional sports, such as Skiing.

"Snowboarding looked more fun hon skiing, so I took lessons and then und out it was more fun," said senior

For senior Kevin Page, however, his inspiration to start was his friend.

"Justin Raikes snowboarded and it sounded like fun, so I tried it ond it was," Page said.

Fun is the key to this sport, but there are some dangers involved to be aware of.

"One of my friends was in a terrible accident with another boarder. She was knocked out and had broken both legs, arms, collar bone, bit through her lip, and had broken fingers. I learned never to run into anything bigger than myself and at such a high speed. It is important to be aware of what is happening around you," added Johnston.

Do Days of Summer It ta es

a

team effort to -survive the heat!

Once again the time comes for summer to come to an end and school to begin. But for those who are in sports, band, and other school related activities coming to school means home sweet home for two lengthy weeks! The sticky, swea1y, tiring days of summerca p!

twas very warm and difficult to stay cool," said Chase Andersen, who tackled football camp this summer.

"People got very cranky because it was so hot," said Mike St. Germain, who spent his two weeks learning new music and a new show for marching band.

There's more to summer camp than the blazing heat, crankiness, and waking up at 8:00 a.m. every morning to be at school by 9:00 a.m. Summer camp is a chance for everyone to meet new people, learn new concepts and ideas, and to work hard as a team.

"You get a chance to hang out with all of your friends you have not seen most of the summer and meet new people on your squad," said Katie Shanahan, who was pepped up from cheerleading camp

"lrs the people. You can share and exchange ideas with other schools," said Melissa Lee, who attended a journalism camp.

These students learned leadership skills, were able to grasp information quickly, listen well, and get along with their fellow teammates.

\\ I learned leadership issues and problem solving in a social environment," said St. Germain.

\\ I realized that I learned a lot from other students that were at the same camp I was at, but I wish they would have given us more hands on experience," said Lee.

Summer camp can be more than just all work and no play, but unfortunately the weather affected the time they would have liked to spend playing around.

" I was outside in l 00 degree weather at best," said Shannon Keeler, who started her first year of marching band.

On the other hand not everyone was hot and swea1y!

\\ I had to walk outside in freezing, pouring rain from my dorm room across campus to the auditorium and I thought it was going to be hot the whole week, but it was kind of chilly," said Lee.

Overall how do these students work together without creating total chaos?

\\ We schedule sectionals, help each other out and if there is a problem we point it out so that we can fix it right away," said Keeler.

\\ Our team would meet every morning to lift, condition, and work together as a team," said Andersen.

Each team has their own way of working together, but overall, \\ an open-line of communication is the key as well as uni1y with your staff," said Lee. With all the hard work that is put in morning, noon, and night, Andersen would agree that,'' hard work does pay off!"

Home f;weet Home East builds a Habitat house

H bitat for Humanity is nothing new to Lincoln, but for E st High students it will be an experience they'll never forg t.

- Until September 26, 2000, all of this had been a dream of business teacher Laura Fraser. The planning started last February with the l 999-2000 DECA officer team. They wanted to start a major community service project that involved the whole school and would be visible to the entire community. What they chose, was an immense, time-consuming activity that would require a lot of teamwork. And teamwork is what they will get. Even though this project takes a lot of time and effort, Fraser is optimistic that it will be completed by the time students leave for winter break.

The cost of the project, including the 900 sq. ft. house, is $50,000. The Gallup Organization, one of Easts VIP partners, kicked off the project with a $10,000 donation.

Most Habitat homes have two to three bedrooms

on the first level, and sometimes, if the family is large, an additional bedroom in the basement.

"Habitat for Humanity promotes simple, decent housing, so the house will not be extravagant," said Fraser.

Even though the entire East student population is invited to participate in the build, a handful of professionals are needed to bring the house up to city building codes.

"We will need a plumber, heating and air person arid electrician. We are hoping to find certified volunteers for these jobs," said Fraser.

One way that DECA raised money was by placing cardboard house banks in the classrooms and other rooms in the school. Students and teachers were encouraged to help out their school and community b ' ' dropping their spare change into the banks.

Habitat for Humanity

e

Here today, gone tomorrow

Clothes, cars, stereos, hair, earrings, and even what type of watches people wear can be some of the biggest dilemmas teens' have today. Fashion is one of the biggest influences in teens' lives today; The s1yle of these things is constantly changing and the difference between past and present trends is amazing. No doubt, what is in style today could be out of s1yle by tomorrow.

you solved your first math problem, colored yourfirst picture, and wrote yourfirst story. Now you are solving quadratic equations, learning a second language, and writing 10-page reports.

All of these things are now a part of your everyday life. You have gained the knowledge that it will take to achieve your goals and have conquered the fears that once kept you from reaching your dreams. This is all a part of the academic chapter of your life and these opportunities are the reasons that we attend this place called East High.

Prepping for ACT

It is the night before the big test and either you are cramming to get in all the facts or you are sleeping to make sure you are well rested in the morning. While cram- · ming is not the best of study habits, _ it is a popular choice.

"I just cram and hope to do well," said junior Sridhar Ayala.

Other students spend more time preparing for their exams. They review notes, get plenty of rest, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and try to focus on the material.

" I go over the practice test, study guides, and even go to the library for books to help me out," said junior Anna Pelton.

Others resort to memorization strategies.

"I have flashcards to make sure I do well on the exams," stated junior Chantel Amack.

Getting together to study for a test is another popular solution.

" I like group studying because you can quiz people and then they can quiz you back so it is very helpful," said Amack.

" Group studying helps you more, especially if they are really smart," laughed junior Anna Pelton.

No matter how well prepared they are, many students still fear the worst.

" I know that I am going to forget everything the moment I step into the testing room but, I am going to try to keep my self calm and know that I prepared myself the best I could," said junior Marisa Pont.

Why put in all the hard work for these brain-wrenching tests? For some, these exams will determine where they go to college. Still it's important to remember junior Ted Ashley's advice." Don't overstress and remember you have nothing to lose. You only have to gain the sense of knowing you did the best you could," said Ashley.

Each year graduation requirements get more difficult. It seems that they add more classes that you have to take or more tests you have to pass in order to graduate. Like it or not, students have to deal with these requirements and worry about fitting classes in their schedule. For some students, their schedules are packed already, yet they still have more requirements to meet.

"The requirements aren't unreasonable or too difficult, but they do prevent me from taking any exploratories that I'm interested in," saidjunior Gina Schneider.

Schneider, like a lot of other upperclassmen, has already met most of her requirements. She's had a full schedule since her freshmen year, trying to get everything out of the way by her senior year. Most students won't have too many requirements left to worry about by the time they're seniors, but with all those required classes filling up their schedule, it's hard for students to fit in those classes that they are interested in.

"Most seniors take about four or five periods but I'm going to almost have a full schedule," saidjunior Leah Breitbarth, who has been in singing every year.

Students who ara involved in singing, band, or other non-required classes that fill up a period every year find it a lot more difficult to fit in required classes. A lot of these students will end up with full schedules through their senior year just to get the requirements met. Students say that they don't think the requirements will ease up anytime soon.

"With everything changing and all the technology, I think the requirements will continue to get harder for each graduating class," saidjunior Mahlon Crow.

Stephanie Jones stays in tune

Ever since junior Stephanie Jones was a young child, music has been an important part of her life. She started singing with her family, and then began taking piano around the age of six.

"Music has always been around me," said Jones.

Jones practices piano every day for 30-45 minutes, and takes lessons. She used to be in a singing group with two friends in middle school. They sang at the 7 th Street Loft and at their church. Jones is now a member of Singers. In her free time, she plays the guitar.

Most high school students have trouble writing poems, let alone putting those words to original music. At the age of nine, Jones was reading a poem and thought about putting it to music. Because she can also play piano by ear, it was not very difficult for her to compose a song to fit the poem. Jones still composes her own music today.

"I think it is super cool that she composes her own music because she should pursue her dreams," said junior Kally Duling.

Music has not only been a release for Jones, but it also provides a way for her to meet people. Jones and her best friends, Emily Miller and Jenna Loughlin, became close through singing. Although she has met many interesting people through her interest in music, Jones says that friendship "all comes down to similarity in values and beliefs."

"Most of my friends like music or like to sing, and that is how we have gotten so close," said Jones. •

Th{l '(ig{l Gap

One Grade, Many Ages

Just because students are in the same gradeJ it doesn't mean-they are they same age.

While junior Jackie Clifton is still 15 years old, her classmates Mark carlson and John Murman are already 1 7 years old. carlson and Murman are older than some of the youngest seniors! Such age differences bring problems and annoyances, as well as benefits. Both carlson and Murman agree that the best thing about being two of the oldest students in their class is that they get to drive before most of their friends do.

"You don't have to ride with your mom on dates anymore," said carlson.

Many parents set certain rules about driving, but these are especially present when a student is one of the first in a group of friends to get a license. Some parents do not allow their "new drivers" to have friends in the car for the first couple of weeks, while other parents expect their teens to constantly check in while behind the wheel.

"My parents would make me ask before I could drive myself to Subway after school to get something to eat," said Murman.

Clifton and Cubby Swift, on the other hand, are both young juniors. They both agree that there are not many benefits to being the youngest of their friends. The only good thing is that they get rides from friends, and usually do not have to pay for gas. It can be difficult trying to find rides, though, and they sometimes get left places with no ride home.

"When I was out with my friends once, they forgot me!" said Swift.

Swift and Clifton started school early for different reasons. Swift's parents didn't see any reason to hold her back another year because she was ready at age five. The family doctor, on the other hand, told Clifton's parents that she wasn't emotionally ready to start at age four, but by then she could already read so she started anyway.

"While my parents were teaching my older brother to read, I got jealous so I taught myself," said Clifton. "I agree that I wasn't emotionally ready to start at that age, though."

To most people, age is just a number, but when it comes to being behind the wheel or riding shotgun, it makes a big difference in your life. You either find yourself always begging your friends for rides, or always dishing out the cash for gas. Is it better to be older or younger? No one really knows, but just make sure you are nice to your older friends so you don't get left behind.

Zoo ~l!hool offorn in-dgpfh gfudy

Zoo School adds a new touch to learning. A handful of East students meet every day with other high school students from • around the city to learn in an environment that is geared towards independent study.

Students also go to their respective high schools each day but only attend a few classes there. They then commute to the specialized school for the rest of the school day. Zoo School students can learn at th~ir own pace -- not so rushed that they miss something, and not so slow that they're doing things they have already learned.

"My favorite part of the program is the class structure and the environment," said senior Sara Moore.

The students not -only study animals and zoo-related topics, they also have the core classes that other high

Zoo School

school students have. They just learn the information in a different way. Most Zoo School students feel that the school helps them to understand subjects better than they do at East.

"The school gives a better emphasis on learning than normal high school does," said senior Mackenzie Mueller.

The Zoo School classes are relatively small in size and many of the students who attend the school like that feature.

"I like the class sizes. They are small and easier to learn in because there is more one-on-one attention," said Moore.

Humanifigg ~chool opgng gygg

Field trips to the capital, listening to various poets and singers, and painting giant "sporks." All of these things are part of a typical day at the Arts and Humanities· School. Arts and Humanities School is an option for students who really enjoy art and English. They still study what everyone else aoes, but they incorporate art and politics into it. They are allowed a lot more personal expression through these art projects too.

This is the second year that Arts and Humanities School has been an option for students. There are only about 60 people who go there now, and they all really enjoy it. Hillary Miller, a senior at Arts and Humanities school, has been going there for two years now.

"I love the freedom I have in Arts and Humanities School. I get to do individualized projects and I get plenty of time to be creative," she said. Sara Newlon, another senior, agrees

"I like being able to wo rk at my own pace. It's a new and different experience, a more relaxed atmosphere," Newlon said.

Th.e teaching methods are also different at Art s and Humanities School. There are smaller classes, so there is

more individual attention. There are different themes for each quarter, and the teachers work to incorporate these themes in to the lesson s.

The students also enjoy being around people from all four high schools in Lincoln. Stewart Losee, a junior at Arts and Humanities School, thinks this is one of the best parts.

"The community there is great. There is more diversity because people come from all four schools. Everyone knows each ·other and everyone is really nice," he said.

The Arts and Humanities. School is a great choice for anyone who has a real love of art. And, because of the relaxed and artsy environment, the students are really able to thrive.

Bridgo !!ehool in aetion

Bridge, East's school-within-a-school program, is now in its second year. Bridge was designed to help students who were at risk of not graduating, or who feel like they were lost in a big school that doesn't offer enough personal attention. There are 28 students in the Bridge program this year, and it seems to be helping all of them.

"Bridge gives me the individual attention I need. And the teachers actually care whether you pass or not," said sophomore Diane Kindle

One of the main goals of Bridge is to create an atmosphere where any student can feel comfortable, and where they will want to learn. Bridge teachers and students work on building a support system, where there is always someone who cares.

Since there are only 28 students in Bridge, they get a lot of individual attention. For junior Jenny Black,

that reality has helped to motivate her.

"The teachers make you try, they want you to o well. Other teachers don't really care whether or not you do your work. It's just one less paper to grade," she said.

To get into the Bridge program, a student has o fill out an application and set up an interview. Then a panel decides which students will be selected. The Bridge team wants to make sure that the students w r ::> enter it are motivated to find a way to succeed. The y have to really want to learn.

According to junior Shannon Johnson, people have a lot of stereotypes about Bridge students. Lik e most stereotypes, though, they are off mark.

"Bridge isn ' t for slacking off. It's just a differe nway of learning. We still have to do our work," said Johnson.

Two East Students become heroes at accident

On Wednesdayl Oct 251 sophomore J.C. Walrath and junior Chris Clowes became heroes at a five-vehicle accident at 70 th and O streets. Walrath and Clowes were cruising around when they came upon the scene in which a 1984 Oldsmoblie Cutlass was in flames.

Some witnesses would freezel not knowing what to do in such at such a dramatic accident scene. Clowes and Walrathl thoughl jumped out of their car and immediately began helping the victims.

"It didn't take much to get J.C. out of the car," said Clowes. "All I could think about was how we were going to get the kid out from under the burning car."

The drivec 17-year-old Southeast senior Thomas Beanl was thrown out of the car and pinned underneath it. Neither Bean or his passenger, 19-yearold Daniel Hart were wearing seatbelts. Hart was hospitalized; Bean died two short hours later. They tried stopping traffic to get extra helpl but that didn't work. Walrath and Clowes knew that someone needed to help those boys, so they ran over to

th~ car and began lifting it up off Bean.

.scene

"People kept passing us. I had to stop and ask people if they could help or if they had a fire extinguisher/' said _ Walrath. "All I could think about was that he didn't seem alive. The scene reminded me of the times I had seen pictures of dead animalsl but this time it was so real." Clowes said all of his thoughts were on moving the car off of Bean.

"I was focused on getting the kid out from underneath the car, and thought about absolutely nothing else. Time went so quickly that I wasn't paying any attention to the people who were driving by/' said Clowes. "Th~ worst thing was the staring." . •

Though it was a tragic experiencel one positive outcome of the accident was that it changed Walrath and Clowes' lives in a dramatic way. They learned how valuable life is. That may be one reason that they no longer run red lightsl and now stop at yellows.

·A fantasy come true

Did you ever have a fantasy as a kid to be on a national sports team? Or break a record for lifting the most weights or running the fastest? For one East High gymnast his childhood fantasy came true. Three years ago, sophomore Jason Wassung competed on the Junior National gymnastics team with fellow athletes who would go on to compete in the Olympics. Unfortunately injuries have kept Wassung from competing on the Junior National team since then.

" It has been hard because I've had shoulder surgery, back problems, and been off the national team for three years. There have even been some seasons where I've been out for half of the year and some seasons I've been out the entire year," said Wassung.

Sometimes he feels like quitting, in part because his work goes unappreciated.

" I am a guy on a gymnastics team and because of that sometimes I am not accepted by the people around me a n d t hey put me down," said Wassung.

Though his work may go unnoticed and his injuries may prevent him from competing some seasons, Wassung con ti nues working as hard as he can. Those challenges didn't stop him from earning the highest pommel horse score in East history.

For Wassu~g, there i s no off se a son, which is why he makes sure he is in the gym almost everyday.

"Most of the time I am in the gym or doing schoolwork but outside of that I try to r elax and even watch t.v." said Wassung.

Sophomores learning to meet new people

Sophomore year is a time of meeting new people and opening yourself up to new ideas. Many sophomores are learning th i s for themselves and are appreciating the outcome.

"Many of my friendships are changing because lots of people are getting involved in new things , " said sophomore Betsy Bowhay .

Many feel it is a good time t o take notice of the larger world Everyone has their own group of friends, but sophomore year can be the time to break out of that mold and meet new friends.

"The best part of sophomore year i s branching out because it he l p s you define •what a true friend is and w h o y o ur true friends are," said sophomore Anna H u e bn er.

Sophomores are starti n g t o r ealize how much work a solid, true frie n d shi p re quires.

"It takes the equal effort of two p eople to make a friendship work," said H u e b n e r.

Holidays more about giving than receivin

Extended family surrounding a huge meal with presents galore ; that's what most of us envision when we think of the holidays. But just imagine the holidays without a warm meal and presents; this is how many needy people see the holidays, and daily life . East students made a difference this holiday season, a tradition that has been going on for years. Clubs like Peer Helpers, Ambassadors., GLBTSA, and the Difference Makers made this holiday season a brighter place for everyone.

This year, Peer Helpers adopted a mother and five children from the People's City Mission. They bought presents and supplies for the family, hoping to make it a better holiday for them. The Peer Helpers also had a Resource Drive to collect clothing and toiletries for the People City's Mission. The group had read in the paper that there were many people who were in need , especially during the holiday season, and wanted to help out.

"They are a bunch of compassionate, nurturing kids , " said sponsor Jan Beeson. "They're thinking about someone else other than themselves."

Ambassadors , another group at East, also had a food drive for the People's City Mission, which has been an ongoing tradition during the holidays.

"There ' s usually more of a need during the holiday season and we wanted to help out, " said Beeson, sponsor for the Ambassadors.

Another group at East, GLBTSA, also worked to make a difference The group collected donations from students during the week of November 2 7 for the Nebraska AIDS Project. More than $400 was raised to help benefit the project that will reach local programs and research for cures. The dri ve was considered to be a success by members.

"It (the drive) could have been more successful, but it was a great success i n that it raised money for the project, " said senior Alex Felton.

A group of juniors and seniors selected by Givin

their teachers for their leadership skills, the Oiffe rence Makers, had numerous projects during the holiday season. They sought out projects in the community to work on. Their work started in Nave nber when they helped set tables and distribute Thanksgiving dinners to people in need at the People's City Mission.

"I' didn't think about how much we had help :d and how grateful the people were," said senior Jer y Sibbel.

The Difference Makers also organized the Teddy Bear drive for Mourning Hope, an organiza t J n that helps young children deal with a loss of a love I one. The children used bears in their counseling , iut had to return them after the 8 week session. Diffeence Makers heard about this and wanted to make the bears available for all children to take home a f1 ~r the sessions.

"The-kids were talking to these bears about their problems and then they had to give them ba c ~ , so we wanted to let the kids each have a bear," sa i < senior Rachel Kvanli.

The Teddy Bear drive raised more than 250 bears for Mourning Hope, which the Difference Ma lers considered a success.

Another project they had was wrapping donated gifts at the People's City Mission for the residents. • •

"I feel like it's my job to help because we're s ) much better off and we should give to the less for tt • nate," said David Janovec.

Maryann Spahni, one of the sponsors for th e Difference Makers, believes that not only has the group given a lot, but they also have learned a grec deal.

"You receive lots more than you give in personal growth," said Spahni.

More than just a language .

Beinvenue a la semaine francais! November sixth through tenth was National French Week, created by the American Association of Teachers to make students more aware of French culture and history. This year's theme at East was "How French Touches Your Life in Nebraska."

French teacher Stephanie Lefler was quite excited about the activities of this week.

"We were hoping to help students see how French culture is intertwined with American culture. It was also a fun way to celebrate French students and give them some recognition," she said.

Some demonstrations to help students become involved in French week included stainedglass, ballet and fencing.

French students especially enjoyed the week. They received signs on their lockers congratulating them because they speak French. They also made posters and projects about various parts of French culture, such as language, arts, and food displayed throughout the building.

"I think it was really neat because there's not

as much stuff about the French culture as some other ethnicities," said Beth Arunksi

Third year French student, Jennifer Harbison, thought it went better this year than last.

"It had more stuff to do than last year, and the demonstrations were probably the best," said Harbison.

French Week gave all East students a chance to learn about France.

"Some students who weren't in French class didn't really get it, but they attended the programs in the commons and it seemed like they were enjoying themselves," said Harbison.

Arunski liked that people were noticing French, instead of Spanish.

"I think some students were kind of surprised by some of the different activities like fencing, but they seemed to enjoy watching them. Others wondered why there's no Spanish Week. But they get all the attention, this is our time to get some credit," said Arunski.

Making East their home

"We welcome you to Lincoln East/' says Dr. Lehmanowsky.

The students and staff try to make the transition from eighth graders to freshmen as easy and as welcoming as possible.

" I definitely like East better because they are more friendly and do a better job at helping you find where your classes are," said freshman Amber Honeycutt.

There are many activities that allow the freshmen to be involved. Whether the activities are planned especially for the freshmen or they are activities that other grades are involved in, all of these activities help make them feel more welcome.

" Band camp and the band parties helped me out a lot to feel welcome. Even upper classmen allowed me to be their friend and invited me into a friendship," said freshman Brandon Langer.

The upperclassmen were just as welcoming as the activities were. Many upper classmen helped freshmen find their classes, showed how to open the lockers if they got stuck, and more importantly became their friends.

Though the outside school activities helped the freshmen feel welcome, they would agree that if they could plan more activities, like the freshman tailgate party, it would help them to fit in a little better.

" I think there could definitely be more freshmen activities to get us more involved," said freshman Joe Stivrins.

Overall many ~reshmen would agree that when it came time to make East their home, everyone did a pretty good job.

Most students aren't sure what they want to do after they graduate from high school. Freshman Jenney Atwood has already decided that she wants to try to perform on Broadway and is already started working towards her goal.

" I first got interested in acting when I saw the musical 'Les Miserables' in Paris/' Atwood said.

Since then, she has taken both Intro Theatre and Advanced Theatre classes at the Lincoln Community Playhouse. Atwood also takes voice lessons. She has taken part in ten plays at the playhouse.

"My favorite type of play to be in is definitely a musical," she said.

Atwood said that during play rehearsals, she attends practice Monday through Friday, usually about four to five hours each night. During tech week (when they set everything up) practices run even longer than normal, and sometimes to hours as late as midnight or beyond.

"It's really hard to keep up with my homework, especially during tech week," Atwood said. "I usually just bring my homework along and do it during the scenes that I'm not in."

For Atwood, the best part of acting is being on stage, singing, and dancing. She also says that it's fun because you meet a lot of new people.

For Atwood, acting isn't just something fun to do, it's something that she wants to tum into a career.

"I want to go to Columbia University and get my theatre degree and then try to go on to Broadway," Atwood said.

Freshman twins have everyone confused

The freshman class has everyone seeing double. Five sets of twins help make up this year's freshman class. They are Jake and Josh Loy, Erin and Karly Martin, Amy and Karen Schmidt, Nathan and Zane Schulz, and Sam and Scott Wu. Their opinions about being twins are as varied as the individuals themselves.

"Being a twin is different because there aren't many people that are twins," said twin :Karly Martin.

Still, sometimes being a twin means having to share more things.

"Whenever I get a gift, she thinks that it is for her, too. I don't like that," said Erin.

Being a twin has its good times and its bad times. Twins like to confuse their teachers on April Fool's Day, but they get tired of having to identify themselves so often to their classmates.

"One of the best pranks was when we switched classes during a test that Karly had already taken," said Erin.

"It's hard to tell all of the twins apart. They look the same," said freshman Mallory Munger.

"The best thing about being a twin is always having someone to hang with," said twin Sam Wu.

Most freshmen struggle just to keep up with homework and maybe one after school activity. But Sarni Schindler seems to find time to do anything and everything Schindler is involved with much more than just homework. She also has time for speech, bowling, singing, marching band, and babysitting.

" I have so many activities our family has to keep a calendar to see when I am free to do other activities or hang out with friends. Sometimes I have to tell them 'Maybe I can pencil you in'," Schindler said jokingly.

Being involved in all these activities can take its toll, but Schindler thinks it's worth it.

" By the end of the day I am exhausted! But" overall being involved in so much is a lot o fun," said Schindler.

With all the activities and homework, she still had many fears about transitioning from middle school to high • school.

" One of these days I am going to drown and my mind will just explode," she said laughing.

Despite such a busy schedule, she has realized that all these activities have really given her a chance to redefine herself.

"This has really given me a chance to meet new people, expand horizons, and realize how much you can and can't do," said Schindler.

Everyone goes through them, but can everyone handle

People go through changes all of the time: changes in personality, changes in friends, and changes in popularity.

One of the biggest changes for teens, however, is the change from middle school to high school. Although there are many things to look forward to in high school, many middle school students have some fears about it also.

For freshman Christine Bryant, the change from middle school to high school was easier than she expected.

"Before I got to East, 1 thought that high school would be really hard, because at Lux the teachers told us things at East would be really tough," said Bryant. "When I got to East, though, it wasn't as hard as I expected, because we covered a lot of the stuff last year."

While some things aren't that different, there are things at East that are quite different than middle school.

"East isn't that much harder, but there were a lot of people I didn't know," sa id freshman Kristen Burson. "Of course, there were also a lot of people that I did know. I was afraid that the first day I'd get lost and wouldn't be able to find any of my classes, but as •it turned out, East isn't as big as it looks."

Others thought East was every bit as big as it seemed.

"East is a lot bigger than I thought, and at first it was really hard to get used to it. After I was here for awhile, however, it got easier," said Bryant. "One of the biggest changes, though is that the people here are a lot more rebellious. You see a lot more people here skipping classes, carrying babies, Freshmen

and dressing and acting different than I was used to at Lux."

A trend that seems to reappear year after year is the t ~t that between eighth grade and ninth grade people seem to become more individualized. •

"At Lux everyone pretty much acted the same as eve r: ,ne else, but here everyone is different. It's like popularity does n matter anymore. Everyone is friends with everyone," said Bryant.

Both Bryant and Burson agree that there definitely a n some benefits at East.

"One of the things I really enjoyed was being able to t ve more control over my schedule," said Burson. "The longer lu :::h was a plus, too."

Bryant even sees good in East's rules.

"There are quite a few things that I really like about Er t, but the best, are probably the rules, especially the dress cod being able to have more choices for lunch, and most of all bi £ {er lockers. My winter coat will actually fit in it," said Bryant.

Although the change from eighth grade to ninth grad t is a huge one, freshmen often find out that they're more prepa n i for it than they'd ever imagined.

"The only thing I would recommend to the administra t )n for next year, is a 'Go to East Day', like we had from elementm school to sixth grade at Lux. It would really help familiarize u E with the school," added Bryant.

Yearbook strives to b e different from years past

The difference between this year's staff and last year ' s yearbook staff may not have been noticeable to anyone on the outside, but on the inside, it was a major difference. From the size of the class to the cover of the yearbook, everything has changed. The staff decreased by almost a third this year due to scheduling conflicts.

"Our deadlines are shorter and we have had to be a lot more efficient due to the smaller staff," said staff member Chris Clifford.

Along with the class size was the change in the cover. This year the cover was a little different from

past years and didn't follow the traditional lines. "We wanted it to be different," said senior editor Sarah Wright. "Every other year it's either bl ue and white, blue and silver or something along th os e lines and we didn't want to conform to all the oth er years."

The yearbook staff set a goal this year of h ving this yearbook stand out from all the others. T ey hope these goals will inspire all the yearbooks ye t t o come.

fr{U)h fae~ Newspaper setting high goals

This year's newspaper staff has a lot of new faces working behind the scenes. Their enthusiasm, combined with the experience of returning staff members, has made the Oracle a better publication.

"This year's staff is very fired up about what is happening at school and getting things right," said senior co-editor Megan Hobbs. "Our goal is to make no errors, which will make a better paper."

The staff also worked on making it a more creative paper. Even though they aren't as experienced, the staff set high goals for the Oracle.

"There are a lot more first year staff members.

They are less experienced, but very motivated to the best work," said senior co-editor Melissa Lee.

The members have created a bond that can ot be broken.

"There is a family atmosphere that has evoh ~d from going through many stressful times together and still holding on," said Hobbs.

The staff likes the freedom they are given to express their views of the school.

"I love the chance to get to write. There is a t of freedom and room for creativity," said senior wr , er Keith Tanner.

Photo Journalism proves successful .

Because of an omission in the Course Description booklet many Photo-J students had never taken any photography classes. This proved to be an obstacle, but nothing too great for teacher Donna Wilson.

"We did a crash course in ·photography at the beginning of the year, plus we got a lot of help from the advanced photography students along the way," Wilson said.

Even the students who had previous experience in photography noticed a difference between journalism photographs and the snapshots they usually take for fun.

"The pictures for journalism can't be posed, and you have to be there in the right place at the right time to get the important shot," saidjunior photographer Natalie Hendrickson.

Timing proved to be everything for photogra-

pher Erin Dempsey.

"Photo Journalism makes time tighter. When you're out taking pictures, you're usually -on a time crunch for deadline," said Dempsey .

.Wilson agreed that deadlines were very tight, especially since the class is only a semester long and the class takes all of the pictures for clubs, activities, and first semester sports.

"When you have publications to work on, you have to go out and take a new ~roll of film for every deadline, which is about every week, instead of using a couple rolls of film for the whole semester, like in other photography classes," Wilson said.

Overall, Wilson was impressed with the students.

"The students have been enthusiastic, and have been good about working ha~d," said Wilson.

Andersen and Schlegelmilch

tying the knot

There was a special bond between two East teachers this year. Nicki Andersen and Joe Schlegelmilch are engaged and busy planning a wedding and still teaching students. While trying to keep a business-like approach, they still have time to see each other during the school day.

"We see each other about once or twice each day. We have planning period together and sometimes see each other in the hall, but we don't go out of our way to talk," said Schlegelmilch.

They met through the courtesy of a few students, senior Jeff Kirchner, in particular. While Schlegelmilch was subbing here, students told him about Miss Andersen, who was single. He talked to her to see what she was like and it developed from there. They previously took a class together at the University, but didn't really know each other from that.

Some students get a kick out of teasing both of them, especially Andersen, but she doesn't let it get to her.

"I love to joke with the kids! I even threaten referrals, but never would give one for thejokes," said Andersen.

Schlegelmilch proposed on the last day of school last year. He had planned on doing it then, but committed to it when she had a bad day. He wanted to cheer her up and this was an excellent opportunity. She said "Yes," and now they have a wedding ·date set for some time in July.

"The fact that it failed shows a lot about Lincoln ' s atti t ude towards education ," said sophomore :Katie Jenkins.

Many teach e rs and students are concerned by the f ailed overr ide. The support t hat they though t the schools had isn't as strong as they thought.

"I start questioning the public ' s view of the worth of teachers, " said social studies teacher Co ll een Ogden.

Ogden talked about the effects the override will have on classrooms. With enrollment incr easing and no new teachers hired, the classroom sizes also will increase •

"There i s no way, with large classes, to meet the individual needs of all the kids," Ogden said

Increased classroom sizes also wor .:. ries many students at East.

"It's easier to learn in a smaller class," said junior Ali Lambert. "You can have better class discussions, it' s easier to do g roup work, and you get to know everyone better. "

Lincoln Public Schools is still deciding where the cuts will come from. They are considering such things as summer school, maintenance, and course offerings. Even though many are disappointed , no one really knows what to expect

"The override may be up for election again, and I hope that it gets passed," said Principal Mary Beth Lehmanowsky.

Going That extra Mil{l

Helping all she can

Janis Johnson is one teacher who goes that extra mile to help students out. Johnson has worked at East since 1979. She is a resource teacher in her second year as the Special Education department chair.

"I've always wanted to work with young people and help students who have additional challenges," Johnson said Johnson works with students and other teachers to develop and carry out individual education plans. She teaches resource classes and in these classes she helps students develop individual skills and assists them with class work. Johnson also works with Teri Orauda, East's Special Education Coordinator; and consults with counselors and other student services so that they can work together to help students

"She treats her students fairly and cares about her students regardless of who they are or what they do," said special education para Carla Meyer.

Johnson's mother was a teacher and was a great influence on her. She believes in education and was always taught about its values. Johnson likes designing instruction to fit students needs and seeing them be successful in high school and later in life.

"The greatest personal award is knowing the students on an individual basis and helping them ~ealize their goals," Johnson said.

Once again East's SCUBA Club members offered their expertise to interested East students and staff. One purpose of SCUBA Club is to introduce students to scuba gear, educate them about diving, tell them about ideal diving spots, and encourage them to • eventually become scuba certified.

One way SCUBA Club exposed others to their sport was through 'Splash Parties'. These part ies 1 helped people gain experience under the water and to try something new. The 'Splash Parties' were an introduction to Scuba diving, and were lead by expert divers. " Splash Parties are a great opportunity for new 1 members," said senior President Max Theis. "It also gives SCUBA club members that aren't certified a chance to put on the gear and blow some bubbles on

the bottom of the pool. Usually the members bring • friends along, and then they get interested in the club, too."

This past year, there were three active members and a few inactive members. They are hoping that the coming years will bring more interest and eventually more members.

The German Club had a lot of activities to choose from that they could be involved in thfs year. They have done fund-raising, planned on attending the Nebraska State German Student Convention, and were • involved in the German National Honor Society, as well as much more.

One activity that the students were looking forward to this school year was the Nebraska State German Student Convention , which has been held for about 25 years. The convention sponsors competitions as well as activities and more. Many participants were involved in the Knowledge Bowl , where they competed against other teams to find out who knew the most about the German language Winners received medals and awards. Participants also could try folk dancing, s i nging , and making crafts .

There were many more things that the German Club members wanted to involve themselves in this year, as well. They helped raise money for the Habitat House by selling Advent Calendars. Members enjoyed that project and hoped to do something else to raise more money for the house.

Other club activities included viewing German films, meeting at the Germans from Russia National Headquarters in Lincoln, and attending the International Fair at UNL.

"With all these activities , we were sure to have a lot of fun," said senior member Zach Young.

We have people from all over the world right in our own school, but most students don't realize this. United ·Voices Multicultural Club is trying to change that. United Voices is a core group of students who think it's important for the student body to understand all of the different cultures, races, and religions present at East. •.They are trying to promote cultural awareness within the school.

Senior Leah Ashley has been involved in United Voices since its beginning.

"When I first came to East, I felt alone and I wanted other people to be aware of what it's like to be a minority in a predominantly white school," she said.

With only eight active members in the club this year, they were always looking to expand and grow as a club. Some things they did to experience other cultures included playing games such as cricket and dreidel. They attended Ramadan Night at UNL, and had a bulletin board that focused on different parts of other cultures and was updated every few weeks.

Senior Kellie Henderson wants more people to be aware of this multicultural club.

"It's an important club. We don't want to see it die," she said. "We want to see it continue growing

and building."

In the club itself, there is a lot of diversity. Henderson was born in Israel, another was born in Pakistan and another is Jewish. This diversity makes the meetings interesting and informative, and brings different perspectives to members. That is the way it is all throughout East, but unfortunately people don't see this.

"There are so many races and religions that no one is aware of. They assume that white is white, and they don't see beneath the surface," said Ashley.

Getting below the surface can broaden a person's perspective

"Don't be blind to it. Try to include everyone in all of your activities," said Henderson.

More students try to help out in some way, but for a select group of East students, helping out has a whole new meaning. Peer Mediators work hard to try to help students directly, yet still letting them come to their own resolutions to their problems.

"The goal of Peer Mediators is to" try to work out people's problems before they have to turn to the administration," said senior member Jen Birdsall.

The Peer Mediators started their training in early August, spending two days learning strategies and rules, and holding mock sessions. Before anyone can utilize the group, they must agree to follow certain rules. The rules are: no name calling or offensive language, no interrupting, respecting the other person or people involved, and agreeing to talk to the Peer Mediators before they talk to each other.

One thing that is nice about having the opportunity to participate in a mediation is that everything that's been said in the room stays in the room. The only exception to this rule is that if anything illegal or harmful to others is said, the administration must be involved.

"The hardest thing about being a Peer Mediator is that you're not allowed to give advice to the people. You are just there to help them come to their own conclusion," said junior mediator Eric Trevino.

Surprisingly, there weren't very many mediation

sessions this year. During first semester there were only two sessions, and they involved the same peopl t The mediators for these sessions were Trevino and Lindsay Erwin.

"The first time was kind of scary because I did r t know what to do. Eric kept having to stop me from gi v ng advice to them," said Erwin. "If you don't solve their problems, it all is put on you. There is a lot of pressu r 3 to do well."

Even though not all mediators have had first-h , nd experience with mediating, they all benefited from the training sessions.

"The sessions are really intimidating. You're afraid that what you say would sound stupid or not m2 <e sense to the people you're helping," said Birdsall.

Hard as it can be, it's a worthwhile group to joi r

"Peer Mediating is a great opportunity to meet new people, and it's a great way to feel like you're a

of something," said Trevino. . .

Peer Helping is a class that h·e1ps students develop communication and leadership skills. The skills that these students learn help them to grow as people. Peer Helpers also learn how to help other people.

"Peer Helping doesn ' t feel like a class at all. It \ feels more like a group of friends dedicated to helping people," said junior Katie Srb.

Peer Helping offers many activities to help all types of people. One thing they do is try to make freshmen and other new students at East feel more welcome. They also help the ESL and special education students with their homework and other daily activities. This year, Peer Helpers went to elementary schools to work with younger students.

"I think that this is one of the best classes someone can take. It makes you feel good because the 1 elementary and special education students get so excited to see you coming," said junior Carli Cunningham. Another important thing Peer Helping did this

year was work with the City Mission. They held a resource drive and gathered clothing and food. They also adopted a family before Christmas through the City Mission. Using their own money, the students bought the family everything on their Christmas wish list.

"The students pick their own projects. It's neat to see them get really motivated and work hard to accomplish something," said teacher Jan Beeson.

The students in this class are recommended by a teacher. Although Peer Helping is only a semester class, it teaches students lessons they will keep with them for a lifetime After all, learning to help others is one of the best lessons there is.

!lei-Fi Club takg~r on futurg

Have you ever wanted to travel to a galaxy far, far away? Or to take a trip through time to the year 3050? That may not be possible, but the next best thing is talking to others who feel the same way.

Science Fiction Club gives students a chance to do just that. Sci-Fi's approximately twenty-five members meet twice a week after school to discuss the latest in far-out fiction. There is more to the club than just science fiction though. Junior member Katie Simpson feels there is something for everyone.

"We're not just science fiction, we do fantasy, we're interested in anime, we watch cartoons, and do mockeries and parodies," said Simpson.

The group does all kinds of activities together. They read science fiction books and discuss them, play Dungeons and Dragons and other role playing games, and take outings to see various movies such as Star Wars: Episode One . They don't just watch movies, though. The group has even created a couple of their

\,

own science fiction parodies to watch and critique during meetings.

The members of sci-fi club find it to be an escape from the real world. Sophomore member Jason Whittier likes the people.

"It's a kind of social group, we enjoy the same kinds of things," said Whittier.

"Science Fiction Club is our way of dealing with the world without' dealing with the drugs and other peer pressures. It's our way of getting away from it all," Simpson said.

Members of Science Fiction club hope to continue to explore the unknown for now, and in the future, when it may no longer be the unknown.

Are you up-to-date on all of the new technology that is governing our world? East ' Microtech Club members are. The mission of the group is to learn about the new forms technology and what generates technology.

"We love to keep up-to-date on _ new advancements of technology," said junior member Chris Tiwald.

They also help others stay informed.

"We try to teach others about computers and the Internet," said sophomore Treasurer Logan Lueking.

The club does more than discuss technology at their monthly meetings, though. They fund-raise for different causes, and work concessions at football games for general funds. They also help area businesses with their computer networks and keep them up and running.

"We do many things. We meet monthly, work

concessions, and help businesses," said junior mem ti e Alan Voight.

They also help individuals.

"One of our plans for this year is to build a co puter for the family that moves into the Habitat for Humanity house that the school is building," said Lueking.

The club has about 20 members who regularl y attend the meetings and events. Peggy Trumble ha s sponsored the club since its beginning, in 1989.

Ambassadors have always been an active club at East. T ey are always willing to take on a project that will make the school a more welcoming place. This year, however, they had to do more with less.

Because of having fewer members than usual !r this year, it was more difficult for them to get things done, but they still managed to help the school and community. This year their main fundraisers were the annual Food Drive during the holidays and selling daisies in the spring. The money raised went to the school or the community.

Jan Beeson's role as the Ambassador's sponsor is to help them decide what fundraisers to hold and which charities to donate to.

"My role is to be there for the students and to guide them in their activities," said Beeson.

Senior Cassie Kozakiewicz is one of the several members who help show new students around. The group works to connect new students to the school and community, and to raise money for charities. She really enjoys meeting the new students who come to East. "You have to give the new kids a chance, because some of them are really cool," said Kozakiewicz.

Although the membership was down this yeac Ambassadors didn't let that fact stop them. They still provided service to their commuryity and school through volunteer work.

Math Club's goal is to get students interested in the many career .choices they have involving the math field.

"We usually have speakers about math careers we can pursue or we work on difficult math problems and then go over the solutions," said senior member Ashot Kotcharian.

Although members have their different reason for attending Math Club, extra credit seems to be on many of the student's minds.

"I went the first time to get extra credit for Ms. Penner's class," said freshman Metta Cederdahl.

Whether or not extra credit is the reason that students attend Math Club, it is a good experience for everyone involved. While members enjoy the challenging problems that they work on, the club also provides a

good learning experience considering math will stay w ith them for the rest of their lives.

"I thought it was interesting to listen to all the different career choices I have," said Kotcharian.

Sponsor Leona Penner organizes each of the meetings, whether it is getting a speaker or coming up with problems to have the students solve. She helps t 1e students solve the problems so that they understand t 11e easiest ways to come up with the solution. Along the way, members enjoy themselves as well.

"I went to Math Club with a lot of my friends an c it was a lot of fun," said Cederdahl.

Medical Club, a new club, is1or students who are interested in pursuing a career in the medical profession. It helps its members to explore the different choices they have in the profession.

"I enjoy listening to different medical professionals and what they are all about," said senior member Erich Schafer.

Members went to Bryan LGH East and toured the operating room and other facilities. Also, all of the members became CPR certified. At some of the meetings they had what they call "guts, gore and pizza." This is where they watch surgery on TV and eat pizza. Exposure to the profession is what draws most members.

"I enjoy getting to know what it will be like to go

down the medical path," said freshman member Lana Bougger.

This is the first year this club has been offered at East. Seniors Julie Jank and Beth Bryant both saw the need for this club. They helped put everything together, along with their sponsor Jan Tucker.

"The club is mostly seniors, so we are hoping we can get it started again next year," said Bougger.

Making a diffornneQ omi prajQef at a timQ

Difference Makers is a unique club at East. Its 29 members were recommended by their sophomore teachers as students possessing an ability to make a difference in their community. Difference Makers focuses on developing leadership skills, reaching out to others, and taking charge to make projects happen. The club sponsors are Maryann Spahni and Karen Dress.

Spahni really enjoyed watching the students grow.

"I pulled back and let the seniors take charge in each project. I wanted them to develop and then use their leadership skills," said Spahni.

This year, Difference Makers created a semester calendar to hand out at New Student Orientation, sponsored an ESL party, went to the City Mission and helped the homeless, held a teddy bear drive and distributed over 250 bears at the Mourning Hope retreat for children. The group also worked concessions to raise money for the Habitat for Humanity project and gift wrapped at the City Mission.

"Gift wrapping was very touching. The students were so humble. They treated the men at the Mission with such respect," said Spahni.

Spahni lives by the motto "to whom much is giv en much is expected" and she has tried to share this with the students.

Senior Rachel Kvanli, historian of the club, take ( pictures of the activities and creates the club scrapboo 1 • Through all of her community service, Kvanli has learn ! C that even the littlest things can make a difference in people's lives.

As a new club to East, the Future Business Leaders of America, or FBLA is beginning to establish itself as an active volunteer and business organization. Nonetheless, it is difficult for FBLA to compete against older clubs such as DECA o~ National Honor Society, because of membership numbers.

Last year was the first year East had FBLA, and many of the past officers and members were seniors. The president this year was Alison Darling, and the vice president was Kendra Doolittle. This year, FBLA faced 1 similar membership circumstances, which is why they tried to recruit younger members.

•

FBLA's goal is to promote good leadership and preparation for the business world. Members of the East chapter focused their volunteer work on organizations such as MADD, March of Dimes, and Habit for Humanity. They raised money through fundraisers such as candle sales. Their fall candle sale was so successful that they planned to sell again in the spring.

"Our candle sales proved to be a good money maker, so hopefully we can sell them again," said Darling.

As FBLA members, Darling and Doolittle said that the trips are the best part of being active in the organization. Darling and Doolittle attended the Fall Leadership Conference in Wichita, Kansas, in 1999, and went with Hillary Miller to the 2000 FBLA National Conference in Denver, Colorado. In Denver, they learned about differen~ fundraisers, .activities, and about the organizations. that each FBLA chapter donates to.

"The idea of the conference is to gain leadership skills," said Darling.

In her role as a guide to the students, sponsor Kim Miller gets to "help them become successful." And that is what makes the job worthwhile to her.

National Honor Society helps the community

National Honor Society is one of the most reputable clubs at East. The students are known for their excellent achievement and good grades. The focus of t h e club is to take on extracurricular projects that help the school and community.

This year , the club had over 100 members , making it one of the largest groups at East. National Honor Society is a service organization for mainly seniors, although some juniors are members.

"It is geared toward academically strong students who want to get involved with ·extracurricular activities," said sponsor Susan Ptacek. "My role is to give advice to the students when needed. This is a club for students by students."

The club's officers help keep the members upto-date on the progress of the group's current service projects. This year's president was senior Jon

Clifton, the vice president was senior Alison Dinge r , and the secretary was senior Sara Brostrom. The officers see many benefits of being in the group.

"The club benefits everyone. Students learn how to work in groups and the community is helpe j by the service projects," said Dinger.

The club holds monthly meetings at which members can sign up to work on projects. The on l y requirement is that each student must be involved n at least one project, but there is no limit to how m e. y each student can do.

Student Council looks to gain more experience

Student Council is one of the most recognized groups of student leaders at Ba st. Its members have had an active role since the school first opened. Since then, it has made great strides in sponsoring different events, chartering clubs, and help ing students, along with being involved ·in many fund-raising activities.

"Student Council is very focused on fundlraising for different school activities and for other helpful causes," said freshman member Melissa Pluss.

Two members, Eric Trevino and Joe Stivrins, attended the national convention in So'uth Carolina. The group also put on the first - ever Mr. East pageant, as well as some of the dances that were put on this year too.

The main goal this year was to promote school

unity and to help involve every type of student at East.

"We want to make every student feel involved and to help promote school spirit," said Eric Trevino. Sponsor J .J. Johnson has been a big part of helping student council reach all of its goals.

"She is the best sponsor ever," said sophomore member Justin Rife.

Key Club making a differnnee around town

This year's Key Club was small, but mighty. Even though they only had nine members, they continued to make a difference in t~e community and around school. Key Club stands for Kiwanis Educating Youth, a group which helps raise money and coordinates events for the community.

"We raised money for Iodine Deficiency Disorder and held 'Senior Prom', which is a dance for senior citizens at Gramercy Hill Retirement Home," said junior member Jennifer Harbison.

The club met every Thursday and discussed what they could do around town. Sponsor Kevin Rippe

was in his first year teaching at East as well as his

These 22 students make up the Martial Arts club. All 22 member . have broad ranges of practice, including, but not limited to Tae-kwondo, Karate, Kung fu, Kendo, Judo, and Jujitsu.

Martial Arts club was started in November 1999 by club presidents Ryan Dudney and Nick Salestrom, both currently seniors. They were hoping to increase awareness about martial arts

"The club ' s purpose is to educate peop le about the different styles of martial arts and to promote physical and mental well-being as well as learning valuable life skills," said Dudney

You don't have to have a black belt in karate to join either. People with any amount of experience are welcome, even if you have no experience at all. As long as you have an interest in martial arts, you are welcome. That ' s one of the best things about the club according to Salestrom.

"It allows people who haven't had a lot of experience in martial arts to get around people who have and learn from them, and it allows people with a lot of expe-

rience to be around others who have too," he said.

Martial Arts Club is not just about fighting, thou ! Jt They put together demonstrations for different events such as the Multicultural fair and Snatraps to show people the beauty of what they do.

"It's important to know that it's not limited to fighting. _ We practice mental exercises as well as phy !ii• cal ones and promote martial arts for peace," Dudney said

Martial Arts club continues to grow, mostly through word of mouth. Salestrom is proud to have been a part of it.

"It's been a cool experience putting the club together, and I'm really happy it all came through," sai 1i Salestrom.

Long hours, late nights, lots of practice, and very little recognition are some things that East's Speech and Debate students face throughout their season .

"It's extremely frustrating with putting in the long hours and getting very little rec6gnitio n," said sponsor Matt Davis.

Speech and Debate are two separate groups that generally meet together and attend the same meets, but compete in different areas. Speech focuses on speaking, gestures, and words, and speech events include several competitors, whereas Debate focuses more on argumentative skills and proving a point to the judge. Debaters go one-on-one against their competitors. Both teams hope they can keep up their long-standing tradition of winning state at East.

"We have won the most championships out of any other sport or other club at school and really hope that we can keep up .the tradition of bringing home all the awards," said junior Mandi lrions.

Along with the many championships they have won come many skills that they can use for the futur e Speech and ·Debate members learn how to write clea and precisely, they learn techniques for putting their thoughts together, managing time, and being organiz o

"I have learned to be organized as well as general rhetorical skills, how to analyze topics in a logica l way and so much more that will help me out with oth e , things now and •in the future," said junior Christopher Tiwald.

In the end, Speech and Debate members hop e that, with all the hard work they put into something th E really love, they will get recognition like the other spar and activities at this school.

Take 80 junior and senior singers, add a new director who hadn't worked with high school kids before and you might not expect them to have an outstanding year. But think .again, because that's exactly what they had.

Singers had eight performances this year, including a fall concert, the musical "South Pacific," a winter concert, the All-City Choir Competition, Expressions, the end-of-the-year concert, and graduation. Dr. Norman Regier had a tough role this year, not knowing how things had been done in the past, but came through with very good results.

"This year was hard with a new director but we tried to do a lot of things the same as last year," said senior Kari Mikelson.

•Having a new director, though, gave the Singe

a chance to teach each other.

The Bellavoce singing group created some excellent music this year. While learnin to work with a new teacher, they continued to put on award-winning performances.

Bellavoce is an all-girls group made up mainly of juniors as well as a few sophomores and seniors. The group's 20 members worked hard, practicing every day and performing in the fall and spring.

"It's a fun time to hang out with friends and sing at the same time," said junior member Jenny Seefeld.

The singers enjoy the friendships they have made and the talents they strengthened in the class. This group enjoyed fun times as well as the ability to express themselves in a way they love.

Jazz band students get the chance to express themselves differently.

"The students get to be creative and actually create music as they play," said _ director Jeff Lean.

As the band becomes more creative, musicians get a chance to come together and form a close-knit bond. This band gets to play less serious, more upbeat pop music, and since there is only one person on each part, the band gets to use electronics with its music, too. This variety makes it a popular class.

"There are many things to like about jazz band," said junior pianist Katie Milius.

Competitions, concerts, and trips provide many

opportunities for the band to have fun and play the music they have worked extremely hard on.

This year, the band competed in Lincoln, Miss u as well as in other places. Even with all of the opport Lnities the class provides, some jazz band players ha w ideas for improvement.

If there was one thing to change about jazz ba r "We need more girls," suggests Milius.

East offers three jazz band classes so musicia r E of all ages and abilities have the chance to come together creatively.

• This year's musical was different from years past. The musical took the student bo y on a journey back to World II, to a story about love between a sailor and a nurse.

"The best part was the experience of acting with other people. I learned a lot about how to act," said John Christensen, who played Commander Haverson.

Everyone who was in the musical had to practice three nights a week for about three hours each night. For the leads, it also took a lot of outside practice, memorizing their lines, and putting it all together.

"The scripts were late coming in so we had to readjust and make up lost time," said Christian Huebner , who played Emile DeBeque.

With so many people involved in putting on the musical, everyone had to cooperate and listen to each other.

"We worked fantastically well together," said Huebner.

The musical took a lot of time and practice, making it difficult for everyone to keep up with their Taylor Ullrich (right) preps Jim Palmer for the show (Photo by : Andrea Scheiblhofer).

"It was a great experience, and made me rea l i .rn that I want to go into musical theatre," said Beth Var r y who played Nellie.

Dr. Norman Regier and Ms. Erin King also pu t in a lot of time and effort. They helped everyone devel o) their characters and helped to make the musical as wonderful as it was.

"They did really good and helped everyone a 1 1 >t, especially since we only had a month to practice," s a j Josh Bulow, who played Lieutenant Cable.

Eagf mugieiang takg a trip to Florida

As first semester drew to a close, many East Marching Band members joined Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, or Wind Ensemble. They also had a chance to prepare for the performance of a lifetime.

Every two years, East High musicians have the opportunity to take a trip. Two years ago, they took a trip to Disney Land in Los Angeles. This year, they traveled to the opposite end of the country and marched in Orlando, Florida. They visited Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Cocoa Beach , MGM and Universal Studios. They marched at the Magic Kingdom, including the Epcot Center. They also played at the Disney Sports Complex. The purpose of the trip was to perform at these three locations, and also to have fun.

Senior Ashley Robison realized that this was the last marching band performance of her life, and that she will never be in a large performing group like this ever again. For Robison, the most memorable moment of the trip was at the finale of their last performance.

"I realized that I will miss all of the friendships that I have made over the last four years. Marching Band grows on you, as much as you don't want it to!" Robison said.

Junior color guard member Ashley Carman said that her favorite part of the trip was marching in Magic Kingdom.

"All of the kids looked at the flags like we were stars, and we felt respected," said Carman.

The trip was all work, and all play for campus security guard Ron Robinson

"The whole trip was great; from when we got there to when we got back. The weather was great, too," said Robinson.

For senior drum major Abbey Karr, the beginning of a new semester meant the end of four long years of hard, timeconsuming work.

"Now that I'm finished with being a drum major, I feel like I have this big empty space from all of the time that I dedicated to it," said Karr.

Many seniors are asked why they stay in instrumental music for so long. The answer is not simply because of the trips, but because of the friendships that are made and the electric feelings they • get when performing.

"All the seniors were teary eyed at the end of our last performance," Robison said.

but that didn't stop the crowd from coming to the game to cheer on the football team. Down by 14 with four minutes left, it looked like the Spartans were doomed to lose. Looks, however, can be deceiving. A twist offate, four touchdowns, and two overtimes later, East brought home a memorable 2000 Homecoming win against Kearney.

The football team wasn't the only one that had some close games. Each team had its share of excitement. Close calls or not, every East team had a desire to win, and the fans shared that desire. That desire is what pushed East athletes to put in many hours ofpractice each week. It's the hope ofwinning that • one game that meant so much to athletes, teams, and fans. It's that desire that filled stadiums and playing fields, even on the darkest of nights.

East Softball rallies

Unlike recent seasons, the varsity softball team did not start out with a big bang this year. This season took a lot more work than the girls had planned. Once they all decided to work together and stay focused, they started to turn their season around.

" We always tried to play as a team, but finally, halfway through the season, we put everything together and started winning games," said senior varsity player Elizabeth Dow.

That turnaround ·helped lead East to its 100th win since the sport was first offered at East. The historic moment came in a 5-2 victory over Southeast. The Knights proved to be key motivators in the junior varsity season, as well.

" We loved our game against Southeast because we accomplished our goal of defeating them and obtaining a winning record," said junior varsity player Molly Larson.

Season highlights for the players were as varied as their opponents.

" I will definitely remember most of all that we were City League Champs," said junior varsity player Lindsay Bailey.

For the varsity team, it was a chance to come together that meant the most.

" Though we did not do as well as we hoped or thought we would, the season ended

better than it started and that is what made it worth all the hard work," said varsity player Kelly Kurtzer.

Like the varsity team, the reserves also had a difficult season, but they played well together and won almost half of their games, thanks to determination, hard work and communication.

"We understood each other and what we had to do to win," said freshman second baseman Mallory Munger.

Their biggest turnaround game was against Southe ast when East won by one. Another big game was against Fremont.

In their game against Fremont, the two teams fought it out and went into Sudden Death where East won 14-4.

"I think we had a good season. We won a lot of games and played good offensively," said freshman Stasi Sattler. •

Kenny Cope, the reserve team's coach, helped lead the team through their great season. This year was his first year working with the team.

"He was a really good coach and always had a positive attitude," said freshman Lauren Schulz.

That positive attitude helped the team view its season as a success.

"ctym.nasts have a great season

This year may mark the end of the line for East gymnastics. With the departure of Lincoln East gymnastics coach, Dave Eppert, and the elimination of the state meet, the future of East gymnastics may be in danger.

"I hate to see such a wonderful sport start to disappear for kids," said Eppert. 'Tm really going to miss being with them."

This year's gymnasts appreciated everything that Coach Eppert did for them, and hope that he is as well received at his new job in Arizona.

"Coach Eppert was a really good coach. He always pushed us to work on new skills. I'm really going to miss how his support helped us through things and encouraged us to do better," said freshman gymnast Jolene Kliment.

Despite signs that high school gymnastics will no longer be functional in Nebraska, the gymnasts are optimistic that it will indeed continue. For freshman Stephen Tetrault, high school gymnastics is a blessing.

"I just moved here recently from Winnipeg, Canada, and gymnastics here is so much better than gymnastics in Canada," said Tetrault. "I really hope that it will continue, and I will do everything I can to make

sure that it does. We've been talking to some coache s and parents about helping out, and many are willing 1 do so."

For senior KellyTatay, it has been a great 4 years of high school gymnastics. In 1999 she scored a 9.75 on vault, and is now the current school record holder in that event.

"I've put a lot of time and effort into gymnastics, and it would make me sad to see it go. I want other people to have the opportunity to do somethin ; as fun as gymnastics," said Tatay.

Lincoln East gymnasts had a great year. The girls worked very hard this season and, as a team, wo the Southeast Invite, were LPS champs, and placed third in State. Although the guys suffered a bit this year because of low participation, they also did well a learned a lot of new things. in the process.

"The boys did really well, and learned a lot ir very short time," said Eppert. "We suffered the loss < Jason Wassung to shoulder surgery towards the begin ning of the season which set the boys back a little bit but they kept on trying."

Helping the team to victory

The coming years look bright for East boys tennis, thanks to the Ju~ior Varsity and Reserve boys Tennis teams. The Junior Varsity team pulled offa stunning season with only one loss. They lost to Southeast, but turned around to beat the Knights at home to earn the city championship.

"We played really well and had a superb season," said junior Sridhar Ayala.

When the team had down moments, they put some extra emotion and effort into their matches and ended up on top. The team was also plagued by injury this season. Several key players suffered game ending injuries. But they turned it around.

"We have good team unity and we all play consistently." said senior Megan Denker.

The team was very strong and finished consistently in the top three with the exception of state and two other meets. This year the team also beat Southeast for the first time in the past two years.

"This year we tried to involve the freshmen more and tried to get more team unity," said senior Jessica Jensen.

Working outside the season

In preparation for the season cross country members tried to stay in shape outside of school. Man y lifted weights and ran everyday throughout the summer.

" I ran by myself everyday this summer and towards the end of the summer, I pumped iron with my team, " said sophomore Sandie Ingram.

Other members stayed in shape in different ways.

" During the summer I did not run as much as I should have, but I stayed in shape by playing soccer," said senior Jared Goertzen.

Staying in shape was only one important thing to the members, though. Inspiration and motivation were a key part of keeping them focused on running their best.

" Before meets we all go on a warm-up run, stretch, and listen to music to motivate us to run," said junior Jason Eberly.

Why they chose cross country, though, depended on the individual.

" My inspiration for running is my Dad because we started running at the same time and now I can beat him," laughed Ingram.

" I do it for no specific reason. I just like to compete against others and mostly to compete against myself is my inspiration," said freshman Amy Schmidt.

Most members agree that cross country is a team sport that requires each individual to pull through for the team. If one runner does not want to work hard, it creates a domino effect for the others. When everyone works, though, the end results can be exciting.

Both of East 's teams qualified for State this year. The boys came in 10th out of 12 teams and girls came in 5th out of 12 teams and were also district runner-ups.

This year 's junior varsity football team gave high hopes for next season. The junior varsity team went 62 on the season and the varsity team went 4-6. While the varsity did make it to the playoffs , it was an upsetting season for the team . . They had a big season last year and didn't live up to the expectations for this season. Many players felt it was a good season, but had higher expectations.

"It was a fun season, but we could have done a ton better, " said senior Jason Watson.

The team pulled through hard times with great performances. One of the best was the comeback Homecoming win against Kearney. They were down 21 points and came back to win in double overtime.

"The highlight of the season was the win against

Kearney. It was a huge win for us ," said senior Je sse Shaw.

Another highlight was the win over Pius. T h game was very exciting and it was a huge emotio n

1 for the team.

The down side of the season was the losse s t o Mill~rd West , Lincoln High, and Norfolk.

There were many key players this season. \. f of the best were Bill Sedlak, Joey Corbin, John Ad 0 1 Dwight Williams, Vavontee Hampton, Jason Wa t s m and Justin Siefkes.

tea.ms dig down deep

The Reserve football team's record of 1-6 for the season allowed the boys to gain more experience and knowledge for the future. Much of their new knowledge comes from the guidance of coaches Joe Schlegelmilch and P.J. Snyder.

"The coaches did a really good job. Even though we only won one game, they never gave up on us," said sophomore Jesse Wanning.

Although the team's record was not as good as they hoped, they still had some close games.

"One of the biggest games for us was the gam~ against Southeast. We lost on the last play of the game," said Wanning.

Although Wanning is pretty disappointed

about the season, he still has a positive outlook on it.

"Let's just say, we're the best 1-6 that there is, " said Wanning.

The freshman ' B' team, however, had a goo • season. Freshmen Cole Cyr, Jake Logan, and Sam Zajicek, helped lead their team to a record of 4-2.

"My best game personally was the Southeas t game. That was also our biggest win of season," sai c Cyr.

This City-Championship team has a lot of potential, and players and fans should be excited fo r th upcommg years.

JV and Varsity f ocus on t eam wor

Most people think that team improvement shows primarily in the number of wins in a season, but that is not always the case. Some. times,. teams learn the most from their losses. Seniors Brett McCurdy and Jamie Enderle agree that because the Varsity schedule was very tough this year, they learned and improved as a team as well as individually.

"Our entire season consisted of playing Top-IO teams. We had a tough schedule, and every team was a challenge," said McCurdy. Certain teams do stand out, however. These are the teams that are known for good, consistent players.

"Southeast and Bellevue West wefe very hard competition. They didn't give up, even if we were ahead. They were motivated and good hitters," said Enderle.

Motivation is the key to a successful season. Everyone on the team must keep each other positive to maintain high levels of enthusiasm and team confidence.

"Brett McCurdy did a really good job keeping the team motivated. She would give the team motivational speeches when we were down and remind us to work harder to stay

ahead," said Enderle.

Many varsity players have been pla: together since ninth grade, so team unity v an important element of their season. Thi: helped team members stay motivated. Sin, most players had previous varsity experienc the skill level was high.

Another important aspect of team 1 is taking social outings. The varsity team v to Barry's Bar and Grill, to Coach Ohlerkir for breakfast, and had many pasta feeds. Jt varsity went to IHOP, Valentino's and had J feeds as well.

JV also had tough competition this year. They played in two very close tournaments against Northeast . In one tourname East went 13-15, 14-16, 14-16, against the Rockets, which helped them stay motivated until the very end.

"Coach Colson told us to work tog< as a team, improve our self confidence, and shake off our errors, which we did after the Nortkeast game," said junior Ashley Reeves "We did have our downfalls this season, bu1 worked really well together."

Apollonaires become a family

Have you ever been around someone so much that they seem like family? Although the Apollonaires don't always agree with each other, they still love each other like sisters

"We're like a big family," said senior Ashley Keith. "We are a lot closer this year than we were last year."

• They spend at least one hour a day with each other at school practicing, and spend m ore time out of school with squad nights and varsity games. The Apollonaires spend much of their time in school and out of school with each other. But, they still manage to stay close through it all.

"Sometimes there are some disagreements within the squad, but they are always worked out and everyone is happ y with the outcome," said senior Ashley Renken.

Because the Apollonaires are so close to each other, o t students may view them differently. Their assumptions are incorrect though.

"We're just like everyone else at East," said senior Tay Hahn. "We should be treated just like everyone else." ,..,,..,Story by:

Cheers starting new traditions

All the hard work, all the practices, and all of the extra and effort have paid off for the junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders this year.

This summer, both squads got invitations to nationals in Dallas, Texas. This year, both squads also sought more school support both for their efforts and for the teams they cheer on.

"We don't just support other teams and people," said senior cheerleader Brittany Stohl. "We need supporters too."

"It feels good to know that the fans get pumped because of us, " said junior varsity cheerleader Jamie Stock.

Both squads get together every day at the end of school, but it might not be for the reason you think. Most people think that they are devoted to practicing for the next big game but often the squads are practicing for their next competition.

The squads attended two competitions this year and -hosted one at East. They al~o sponsered a mini cheer camp fo kids in grades kindergarten through sixth grade. All of ther e activities help others realize the important role cheerleaders p b at school.

This year was a new expierence for cheerleaders bec a •1s of the new sponser.

"Mrs. Johnson is great!" said varsity cheerleader Me g u Denker. "She is starting a lot of new things to get involvme t out of the school and the crowd."

''The school support is great this year but we are try i 1~ to make it even better," said varsity cheerleader Natilie Met c Jf ,..,,..,Story by: Mark Reckmeyer,..,,..,

Cheering to Victory •

There's no shortage of spirit on the reserve and freshmen cheerleading squads. These girls love to boost school spirit and cheer the athletes to victory. The squads get together every day to practice and usually cheer at about three events per week.

"My favorite part of cheerleading is being loud," said freshman cheerleader Melissa Pluss.

Members are involved with more than just cheering, though. They make signs, do some fund raising, coordinate the pep rallies and decorate for events.

"I like being involved with school activities and being with friends," said reserve cheerleader Jenna Epley.

The reserve cheerleaders often

find that it's more fun cheering at reserve games than it is at freshman games.

"The reserve year is better because there is more freedom and there aren't the 'A' and 'B' games that we had freshman year," said reserve cheerleader Betsy Bowhay.

Others, however, don't care which team is competing. They just love to do what they do.

"My favorite thing about being a cheerleader is that I get to go to all the sporting events," said freshman cheerleader Lauren Reckmeyer. "I love to watch my friends and classmates play sports."

Swim.Iri.ers and divers m.ake great improvem.ent

Most varsity teams are primarily made up of juniors and seniors. This year, though, East's swimming and diving teams were mainly underclassmen. The varsity diving team was made up of four freshmen, one sophomore, and two juniors , who will all be returning next year.

The swimming team also had a lot of young talent, assuring returning talent in the next few years.

East swimmers had a very good season, both individually and as a team. Many people improved their strokes and cut their times.

Senior Cami Thoms was satisfied with her improvement this season.

"I had a couple of my best times this year," said Thoms.

Seniors Candace Stenger and Tyler Scheer also had great individual seasons. Going into State, Scheer lost only one event all season. Stenger, too, was very satisfied with her improvement throughout the season.

"This was the best season I've had in my high school career," said Stenger.

In the Conference meet, the East boys won and the girls came in second behind Southeast. At the State meet, the East boys got

third and the girls got seventh.

East divers also had a successful season. The girls placed third in the majority of their dual meets. Southeast was by far their hardest competition. Because many of the divers were underclassmen, the older divers wanted to set a good example for them.

• "Last year, the majority of the team members were upperclassmen, but this year, we were a young team, so Eric Pilus and I had to be leaders of the younger divers," said junior Jenny Seefeld.

When the last State-qualifying meet was postponed due to snow, freshman Jenna Knapp showed her commitment to her team. She missed a trip to Chicago and a Backstreet Boys concert with her mom in order t~ compete.

"I made a commitment to the sport and to my team, so I knew what I had to do," said Knapp.

East 's young swimmers and divers know that their commitment to the sport will keep paying off in the future.

A Slow Start 'l'o ur1forg·ettable

Boys N and Varsity Teams Sh.ow Heart and Pri ,

Taking home the gold seemed like a far-off dream early in the Varsity season. The varsity basketball team started off the season by losing their first two games and then went through their season with virtually a .500 record. The team suffered an injury near the end of their season and was forced to try a different line up. The new line up went undefeated beating #2 Lincoln High and #4 Omaha Burke and then proceeded to win districts and state.

"We had a lot of different people step it up when we needed them to," said starting senior point guard Jesse Shaw. "Everyone brought something needed to our team. "

The team went through highs and lows throughout the season but managed to pull together and finally found their chemistry when it counted.

"The entire season was like a roller-coaster," said starting senior guard/forward Dwight Williams. "We would go on a losing streak and then a winning streak

The whole game gets suspenseful as the team watches with anticipation (Photo by: Jenny Seefeld).

and we happened to be on a winning streak at the en of a year."

The state championship is the first boys bask ball state tide since 1978. This team has set the standard for next year and for many future boys te a n to come.

The junior varsity team also had a good ye r with a 11-7 record and a very good showing in the L tournament. The young squad was made up of m e s1 sophomo res and five juniors, and had to find its student leadership.

"At the beginning of the season we didn't h ,.v a lot of leadership but as the season moved on we learned to play together," said junior Jason Kreifles

The junior varsity has great hopes for the future and believes that they hold high hopes for E. .s basketball next year.

Freshm.an and Reserve team.s show what they're ma~

Members of East's Freshman ''A" and "B" and Reserve boys basketball teams agreed that this season was a successful one for them. While talent and hard work played a major part in their success, members from each team agreed that their team really improved throughout the season.

"The season went really well. We really pulled it together and played as a team," said freshman ''A" player Pat Spangler.

Although the team members' dedication helped them to improve, many agreed they couldn't have done it without their coaches.

"Coach Kabourek made us a team instead of just 12 people on the court," said freshman ''A" player Matt Potadle.

The Reserve team's hard work also paid off. They ended their season with a 9-4 record and won All-City.

"We had a really good team this season," sai< sophomore reserve player Steve Gogela. "I think our greatest strength was talent."

Winning All~City was a big victory for the re team. They played Southeast and were down at halft but came back and won.

"We had started to think we were falling apa1 toward the end of our season, but we really proved h, good we could be by coming back and winning agair Southeast in the tournament," said sophomore resen player Patt Heiser.

The reward of having a successful season mac the hard work worthwhile.

"Though all the early practices were sometim hard and frustrating, the victory of winning All-City really made it worthwhile," said Heiser. ,.,,.,story by: Angie Kreifels,.,,.,

Both the Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls Cole, despite being one of only three fresh m er Basketball teams had a great season this year. Not only on the Varsity team, still felt welcomed by the olde r did they perform well on the court , but they managed girls. to keep their friendships off the court, as well.

" I really liked it when we hung out as a team," said freshman varsity member Jenna Cole. " It was really fun when we spent the night at Lindsay Erwin's house, and of course I really enjoyed the pasta feeds."

These girls spent many nights on the court at East. They usually started practice around 3: 15 working hard on their layups, free throws, and defensive strategies until at least 6:00 PM each night.

The Varisty team finished the year with an 8-12 season. They lost by only one point in districts, which kept them from going to State. Although the scores didn't necessarily show off their hard work, that doesn't mean they weren't competitive.

" The team had a lot of fun this season , and think that we have a lot of talent, " said Cole.

" At the beginning of the season the older g irls made fun of me, but once you got into it, it was fu n It 's kinda scary being younger and playing against people older than you, " said Cole.

Much of the team's success can be traced to JV coach John Strain, and varsity coaches Todd Mitm e:; se Mike Rennells, and Scott Pruss.

"The coaches are really good. They are har, t o us and it makes us work harder," said Cole. 'They really helped us play as a team. "

The JV team did very well this season, finis ; 1in it off with a 12-3 record. The main goal that these ~ir were trying to reach was to play as a team.

In the end both ~eams did very well, and m 11) fans should be looking forward to the coming year s ,..,,..,story by: B eth Bryant,..,,..,

This year's freshman and reserve girls basketball teams learned a lot more than just basketball. The teams learned lessons in life as well as new basketball skills. Coaches Lance Kingery and Lisa Brabec taught the girls to look beyond the sport.

"Our team got emotionally attached," said freshman reserve player Stasi Sattler.

Once the teammates established friendly ties, they learned the specifics behind each play and how each teammate reacted. Teaching team principles helped them to become better basketball players individually, as well as making them a better team. While the freshman team

"We had a great season, winning eight ga 1 and establishing many new friendships," said fres : reserve player Donley Durre. "I think our key to success was our coach, Mr. Kingery."

Wrestling, one of the most physically demanding East had ten wrestlers qualify for state th is yea. sports at East, can only get better. This year's team six of whom received medals. Nick Skiles and E r ic surpassed everyone's expectations and finished fifth at Trevino both placed 3rd for their weight class, Je ff State. Coach Marty McCurdy was extremely proud Rutledge placed 4th in his, Kevin Kahler placed 5 th,

"We lost eight qualifiers off of last year's team, so and Joey Morrison and Travis Fentiman both pla ced we didn't expect to finish as high as we did. I'm really 6th. proud of them," said McCurdy.

Wrestling takes a lot of time and effort. The team practiced every day after school and had meets almost every Saturday.

'They all _ work incredibly hard and pay a big price, but they were all very dedicated and it all paid off," McCurdy said.

Sophomore wrestler Jeff Rutledge started wrestling ten years ago, when he was in first grade. He placed fourth overall at State, and had a great season. Wrestling has had a big affect on his life.

"You feel so good about accomplishing something. You go through a lot of emotions out there. Wrestling is a very emotional sport. Every time you win, you get a sort of high. It's a great feeling," said Rutledge.

This year's team did well at other meets t o o. They finished first in the Lincoln division of the Lincoln Dual Classic, first at the Omaha Ronca ll i Invitational, and at the Elgin Pope John Invitati o ,1al. Rutledge likes the atmosphere at the meets.

" Some of them are more laid back, and Ll en sotne are just crazy like at State. When you look 1p and see all those people, it can be nerve-wrackin g but the things you get out of it are amazing," he said . With such a great team this year, it make :• everyone look forward to next year with anticipa 1 n.

at the school store on that bright and sunny Monday. Students waited in line for their warm cookies or bagel with strawberry cream cheese.

The school store is always a busy place at East High. It is a place that satisfies the extreme hunger ofhigh school students

There are also many businesses outside ofEast that help to satisfy the hunger of East students. Where would webewithoutAmigos, Valentino's, orTacolnn? Without Gateway or SouthPointe, where would students go to shop?

Most people don't think about it on a daily basis, but businesses are a huge part ofour lives. They influence what we eat, what we wear, and what we do with our friends for fun Clearly, "business as usual" helps us live happily ever after.

1s year

was just the beginning of your journey through East High, or the last chapter of your high school life, you helped create a story, a chapter in the history of East High School and in the books of our own lives.

Each of us has our own story to tell, but we are all part of the same East High family. We shared one moment in time that will never be forgotten. We saw the ending of one era and the beginning of a new millennium, and we experienced one of the most controversial presidential elections ever held.

We will always remember this school year: and the people who helped us create our memories. So, as you journey on in your life, whether you're moving to college, into the workforce, or coming back to East next year, always remember that you helped create the story of us.

Our hope for the 2001 Epic was to create a yearbook that was different from any other yea r. Our staff wanted this yearbook to represent the entire student body. This is why we chose the theme "The Story of Us." The theme was chosen by the editor at the Nebraska Journalism Summer Workshop and implemented on the first day of class in August.

The yearbook was created by the 22-member staff, and 15 Photojournalism students. Each staff member, designer, writer, and editor put in long, hard, dedicated hours to create a high quality publication.

One thousand,four hundred, and fifty copies of the 2001 Epic were printed by Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri. The 34 th edition of the Epic was created with Pagemaker 6.5. Body copy fonts used in this yearbook were Times , lfelvetica, Benguiat, Garamand, and Avant Guard. Headline and subheadlinefonts included: Feltpoint, GenXCrumble, Snooze Bold, Oblique , Berkley, Braddon, Alice, Iron Maiden, and Comic Sans MS.

The 2001 yearbook staff would like to thank Jane Holt for all of her hard work and dedication to help us to be successful in making this yearbook. We would also like to thank our Walsworth representative, Mike Diffendeifer, for his willingness to help us and all of his patience this year. We would also like to thank Holly Switzer who always had answers for · us whenever we had a question. We appreciate the East Administrations' support, along with all the parents,

students, and advertisers who helped to make this yearbook what it is.
