Spartans strut their stuff

East students express themselves through fashion. Juniors Erin Smith and Ashley Sabin like to cur Bracelets, earrings, spikes, tattoos, chains, belts, and even apart their clothes and redo them to make their outfits shoes can say so much about a person. Fashion isn't just unique. They tie--dyed slips they bought from Goodwill to something you wear, or whatever you happened to put on make new outfits along with their other friends. in the morning. It says a lot about who you are and what "We want our clothes to make people think we're you stand for. original and creative hopefully," said Smith.

"I want people to look at me and think 'Wow,

that's something.' I want people to express who they are inside," said Mickle.

• on a Je. t plane

- Social Studies teacher Chuck Morgan, his son Brad and - a family friend went backpacking in the Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming tlus summer. They expected to see many wild animals, but they never expected to be face,to,face with a 500, pound bear. Morgan first spotted the bear coming down a hill , I~ towards their campsite. As the .bear came closer, the thre~ campers _ • stood next to each other and tned to look as large as possible, thinking that the bear might get scared and run away. The bear got as close as 30 feet and then. took off.

"I wasn't really scared until the bear left," said Brad Morgan. "It was such an adrenaline rush."

For the rest of the night they each took turns keeping watch for other bears.

"That is one vacation I will never forget," said Morgan. "In fact, Brad and I are thinking about going back next summer."

It's strange enough being in a foreign country, but can you imagine what it would be like being in a foreign country without any money? Kinsey Hustad and her familyalmost did. She and her 1 family joined other members of their churc on a mission trip to Spain over the summer. While they were on the subway, a man was messing with her dad's sock, obviously trying to distract him. Another guy held the subway door open while a third guy tried to pick,pocket him. Luckily, the man wasn't successful and her dad noticed him trying to steal his wallet.

"It was a close call," said Hustad.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an astronaut? Emily Korab came about as close as it gets, when she and 40 other students from around the United States went to the Kansas CDsmosphere for Space Camp this summer. She spent three days doing mock missions and ended the trip having dinner with several astronauts. She said the highlight of the camp was having the chance to meet Shannon Lucid, the first woman ever to be on Mir(a space station).

World Languages teacher Fred Schelert had a summer full of excitement and fun. On one trip , he went to Germany, and visited different cities such as Berlin, Munic and Leipzig. He went with a group called Globas that consisted of 14 people from around the United States. In Germany, the thing he best recalls is "gutes deutsches Bier" (the good beer)! He also visited Neuschwanstein, which is a castle built in the late 1800's , sitting on a cliff in southern Germany . They say that Disney copied the design of this castle for his.

About 3 weeks after Schelert got back from Germany, he took off again. It wasn't a relaxing vacation. He went on a 480,mile bike ride in the the Rockies with 1,300 other people who's ages ranged from 20,70. It was a f undraiser for the C.Olorado PBS Network. Imagine biking up a mountain and only stopping occasionally to sleep, eat and drink lots and lots of water!

"Let's just say that two weeks after I got back, I definitely felt the physical consequences of the ride!" said Schelert.

It sounds like a dream vacation, a seven-0ay cruise, visiting islands like Jamaica and the Grand Cayman Islands , climbing waterfalls, snorkeling, cliff diving and going kayaking. But even with all of the exciting activities to do,

it was just a typical vacation for Matt and Melissa Hinkley. Their family has been on many cruises and have visited several exotic islands throughout their lives.

Matt Hinkley said that his favorite part of their vacation was climbing a mile of waterf-alls and then going cliff diving. He would have liked to have gone to the beaches, but said that they were unable to because people might sneak drugs into visitors pockets.

Mitch Murphy and his family went to Beliz for their summer vacation. He said the most exciting thing was going scuba diving, during which he saw eels, exotic fish, sea turtles, and got to touch sharks. At one point, a shark was swimming towards him and ran into him.

"I didn't know what to do. So I just stayed really still and floated in the water," Murphy said.

"I thought that it was going to bite me!"

He must not have been too scared though, because the next day he and his family went right back out and did it again!

Frorn Soda Pops; i:o Flip Flops;

From baseball cards to Barbie dolls, every kid has collected something in his or her life. Some collectors stand out above the rest, though. You may even say they were h:)m to collect. Take freshman Jarrod Hopkins , for example, who is the proud owner of 10 pairs of O:mverse tennis shoes.

"I have been collecting them since birth,'; said Hopkins. His most recent purchase was a white pair for $2 at a garage sale. The most he has ever spent on a pair was $5.

While Hopkins takes the prize for longest collector, junior Anna Miller wins the prize for her recent recycling efforts. She started collecting Jones soda bottles just last summer. The collection, which numbers 60, started because she wanted to do something different, and collect something that no one else collects.

"My favorite part about them is how all the labels are different. My dream is to someday be a photographer and all the unique labels inspire me," said Miller. Along with collecting the bottles she collects the fortunes in the lids and tapes them up in her window.

Her desire to be different sparked a contest between Adam Williams and herself to see who could get the most bottles the fastest. Her desire to win the competition keeps her up all hours of the night. One time she even went out at 1 a.m. just to get a "happy flavored" soda.

"Got Milk" has been a popular slogan during the last few years, but it may be most familiar to sophomore

Amy Miles. Miles has collected 194 of the milk ads since her sister got her interested in them three years ago. Her sister no longer collects milk ads, but the fun of going through old magazines to find them and seeing all the new ones has kept Miles collecting. She also trades them with friends who collect them as well. She's found some of the ads in surprising places.

"I found one of them crumpled up in a lost and found box in a locker room," Miles said. Miles gets most of her ads, though, from The Yellowed Pages. a local tradein book store.

East students aren't the only collectors at school, though. Science teacher Mary Herrington has been collecting shoes for the last ten years and currently has 7 5 pairs, all but one in their original boxes.

"I have difficulty buying shoes without a box," she said. "In fact, I bought my first pair this summer that didn't have a box. Luckily, I had one left over from the pairs I dpnated."

At one time, her collection reached 100 pairs but Herrington donated 30 of those pairs Herrington has always loved shoes and fondly remembers her first pair of black go,go boots that zipped up the back. "I love the way shoes accessorize outfits," she said. "I like to alternate pairs, but my favorite ones are a pair of red cowboy boots." From covering their feet to covering their shelves and walls, these avid collectors clearly get extreme pleasure I from their extreme pursuits.

"Since that happened, we talk a lot more because it made me realize how easily I could lose my dad," Butler said.

East students are not only more thankful for their families, but for life in general.

"It's (the 9/11 attacks) really opened up my eyes to the world, showing me how insignificant m pr lems really are," said senior Erica Poppe.

This new appreciation has led to a significant increase in charitable donations. The local blood bank received more blood in a day than it usually would in a week, and, at Super Saver, KFRX

the Red Cross, money was collected for children in Afghanista , , Key Club and Red Cross Club collected money for the disaster funds, students in Junior Achievement sold flag decals, and many students and faculty donated bkxxl and supplies.

Imagine sitting at the lunch table minding your own business when suddenly you get hit with a splash of something wet. You turn your head and are shocked to see senior Aaron Thornton squirting water out of his eye. You leave the lunchroom to get out"of Thornton's range only to see a girl lying on the floor of the Commons with her arm awkwardly stretched behind her back. Oddly, talents like these are common among students at East.

These students know that they are talented in different ways and use those talents to their advantage.

"I called Guir}ess but they never called me back so I didn't think that they were interested," said Thornton, who once noticed that every time he popped his ears, air came out of his eyes. After watching someone else do it on

"Ripley's Believe It Or Not," Thornton thought he could push water, rather than air, out his eyes. 1V inspired other talented East students, as well. "I wanted to go on the Nickelodeon 1V show 'What Would You Do?' when I was little to show off my double-jointed shoulder," said senior Kelle Gude.

Others say that they just use their unique talents to attract weird stares and attention.

"It's fun to have weird talents on Halloween, because it grosses everyone out when I wrap my arm .around my head," said senior Kim Baker.

Writing about these eye--popping talents, though, is nothing compared to seeing them in person. For these stories, a picture really is worth a thousand words.

Senior Duncan Einsphar h~ wanted to pe in the military since he was about 5 years old aoct• planning to go to the Marines at the end of the ~"t<)Q1 year. He will be going to initial boot camp in Califfm.ia and will later be st tioned someWhere else.

When asked why he wanted to go into something so dangerous, J:insphar answered with a smile and said honestly he COUidn't picture himself ~g anything else. Einsphar's parents have been behind him 100% on his decision. They have a family mm~ background and E:insphar feels it's something he has to do.

"My parents are that I am going, but they aren't against it," said Einsphar.

Einsphar's friends haven't quite let this sink in. They aren't quite sure of the commitment he has to have. To -prepare for boot camp, Einsphar needs to lose 10 pounds to get down to 160 pounds. To do that, he has been running and working out a lot harder than normal.

Einsphar also needs to prepare mentalt¥,

has to prepare for the yelling and also being able:ut fight someone. He needs to force the idea of:~ooting someone in the back of his mind and realize that if this person were to shoot him, he would rather fight for the country and kill him or her.

"People gav~ their lives to make us free and give us the stuff we have today. I fee~ like I have an obligation to pay that back,'' said insphar.

Einsphar 's dream has been to be in the military and now, his dreaQI is finally going to come true.

For many people life imitates art. For junior Katherine Fries though, life is art. That may be why she's earned four Spotlight on Art awards in the past three years. The Spotlight on Art award is an LPS sponsored award given out to public school students who excel in the arts. She has loved art since she was a young child

"I always w~lked around with a box of crayons in my hand," she said.

Coming from a long line of creative people, art is second nature to Fries . As an artists though, she's always learning more

"It was not until freshman year that my techniques were rounded out and refined with the help of Hershey," she said.

" While teacher Lynne Hershey has helped Fries define her painting techniques, Mrs. Wilson has also helped her improve her other passion, which is photography. After receiving help from both of these teachers, Fries realized that she wanted to go into an art-related career. Popular cultures also provided motivation to focus on art.

"As a child, I had red hair and bright green eyes. Books never have girls like that, so all the girls I paint have red hair and green eyes," she said.

Fries also enjoys painting scenes from the 40's and SO's around WWII. From factory workers to pilots, she paints whatever she is interested in at the time. This September her interest turned to the U.S. flag, following terrorist attacks in Washington and New York. Her painting used the flag to represent the land. So many people were moved by her work that she made copies and sold them, giving the profits to the Red Cross.

"I'm delighted that she used artwork to raise people's awareness of the September 11th attacks," said art teacher Lynne Hershey. "I commend her for using art to raise money."

Hollywood may have played a part in getting so many East juniors involved in ice hockey East juniors make up about a fifth of the Junior Star's varsity hockey team.

"The movie Mighty Duck's first got me interested," said junior Jordan Ross, who plays on the Junior Stars Varsity team.

Other East players first got involved because their friends got them interested.

"I wanted to play when I saw Jordan and Dan Scully playing roller hockey," said junior Michael Lucchino, another varsity member of the Junior Stars team.

Friends or films might have gotten them first interested, but, without hard work, they never would have succeeded.

These athletes practiced four days a week for two hours each day during their sevenmonth season. During the season, they have games almost every Friday and Saturday, many of them out of state. This schedule makes it tough to find time for other things, including school.

"It takes away from my studying time. A lot of times I have to stay up late to finish my homework," said Lucchino.

Ice hockey is one of the most aggressive team sports there is. That is the reason why a lot of these juniors like the sport so much.

"The best thing about hockey is hitting," said Dan Scully who also plays on the Junior Stars varsity team.

Ross also likes the physical aspect of the sport.

"I like it because it's different, fast paced, and physical," said Ross.

Juniors Lars Nielson and Mitch Stuhr also play ice hockey. Nielson plays for the Junior Stars varsity team and Stuhr plays for the Junior Stars J.V. team.

Many of these guys have been playing hockey for about 5 or 6 years now and have plans to continue playing the sport.

"When I graduate, I'm going to play juniors until I'm 21 and then I'm going to try to get a scholarship," said Ross.

For most, while it'll never be a job, it will still be a part of their lives.

"I don't plan to play hockey as a career. I'm just going to play in a senior league when I get older," said Lucchino.

Making Music

Roadie Chris Keller, climbed into the driver's seat of the drummer Drew Smith's car. No one thought he was actually going to drive anywhere, considering his lack of driving experience, but they were wrong. He drove only a few yards before hitting a tree. The placard marking the tree said it was a Timbus tree.

"That was it, we were going to name our band Timbus," said Tyler Schmidt, lead guitarist.

The band needed more than a fender bender to get their act together, though. Schmidt, and Smith had played together for a long time Ross Felton soon joined, playing bass guitar. Then they recruited Erin Smith as lead singer. The first time they practiced together as a whole band was the night before their first gig-Snatraps.

"The crowd was really good," said Felton about their second performance at the Royal Grove. "It was one of the more solid sets we've played."

They all agree that playing together is fun, and it's a good way to spend time with each other.

"I like the fact that we're all just friends," said Erin.

Being in a band is fun, but there is more to it than that. The members also get to create something original and satisfying.

"I love the fact that I can make the kind of music I enjoy listening to," said Schmidt.

They plan to stay together as a band. It gives them time together as friends and as artists. One member even sees health benefits to it.

"It beats doing drugs," said Schmidt.

Some cars take you from zero to sixty in only a matter of seconds, while others just barely take you where you aeed to go. Some are bright, shiny, new cars that really catch your eye, and others just stick out like a sore thumb. For most students, the junior year brings with it new driving privileges, and, along with those, mishaps.

Junior Pat Allen is one of those students with cars on his mind. Allen's pride and joy are his cars. Most often you see him driving aro und in his Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd., with -an extensive stereo system, chrome rims, and many other customized parts. Along with the privileges that driving a car like this brings come some disadvantages, too. Allen recalls receiving two tickets in one day.

"I was on my way to school one morning, speeding to try and make up time. A cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket for 63 in a 45," said Allen. "Later that night, my friends and I were in -the Russ' parking lot. On our way out, my friend t~rned up the music real loud. We didn't notice the cop behind us. He pulled us over and told us we were disturbing his peace. He gave me a Disturbing the Peace ticket and called my parents."

Somehow Allen lucked out. "Luckily the second ticket got dropped a few weeks later, and my parents still don't know about the first."

While Allen's cars are easy on the eyes, other students are found driving around in cars that make you smile when you see them. Junior Jeff Rutledge hasn't had any major driving disasters, but he does get some interesting looks in his car, "Edna," an older white Chevy Cavalier.

"It's a funny name my brother came up with in high school, and it's just stuck with the car ever since," said Rutledge. "It even ended up on my license plate."

Unlike some students, Rutledge doesn't mind what car he's driving, as long as it gets him

Both Rutledge and Allen agree that it's nice to be able to get around on their own and have new privileges. These juniors also mentioned that it's smart to watch what you're doing while on the road, or all of these privileges might catch up with you.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a PIANIST!

Junior Alex Wright has been playing the piano since he was 2 1/2 years old when he got a Little Tykes keyboard. To his parents surprise, he picked up the piano and started playing Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star by ear!

Wright knows how to play numerous amounts of instruments including the piano, violin, trumpet, sitar (which is a long guitar with a lot of strings), trench horn, recorder, mellophone,

drums, kazoo, bass, harmonica, guitar and triangle!

When he was 15 years old, he entered into an International piano competition which involved 36 countries. He became one of the 6 finalists and got a special recognition from the judges. Wright's mom, Cathy, came and got him out of a basketball game to tell him the news. Wright said, "I was so excited I ran around like a little school girl."

Wright is still involved with music and practices 1-2 hours a day. His parents, friends, teachers, especially the music teachers and his girlfriend, sophomore Carrie Butler, are all great influences on his music ability. Wright says his friends are "very supportive and like to listen to me play." For Butler, listening to Wright play the piano is something she never tires of.

" I love listening to him play the piano. You can just sit and listen to him play. It relaxes you." She said. "Just watching him, you can tell how much he truly loves playing."

Most wrestlers only dream of even making it tQ state, but :ast wrestler Tom Rice beat those odds and went even further. lfter placing first at state and second at regionals, he was on his ,ay to nationals in Fargo, North Dakota.

With the honor of being able to compete at nationals, Rice new that becoming an All-American was within his reach. It neant working out and practicing every day, not to mention cutting 1ack on eating. When it came time for nationals, Rice was ready, nd ended up placing sixth in the freestyle division. Placing in the op ten meant that he would be named a Cadet All-American, the rst in East wrestling history.

" I knew that I had to work hard to achieve my goals," said lice, "and being named All-American really showed my hard work ad paid off "

Wrestling coach Martin Mccurdy agrees that Rice's hard ork has paid off.

"Rice is a very hard worker, and has improved a lot as an thlete. He's super involved in all kinds of things, and even sang

the ' Star Spangled Banner' at a few of our meets," Mccurdy said. Singing is just one of Tom's many other talents. At East he also plays football, runs track, and is in the Swing Choir.

"It takes a great deal of dedication to stay on top of all those activities , and Tom's got what it takes," added Mccurdy.

In and outside of sports, Rice is viewed as a good person all around.

"He ' s very athletic, and when it comes to wrestling he's got good balance, he ' s strong , and explosive, " said sophomore Joey Morrison who's been a teammate of Tom's for two years.

"Outside of wrestling he's a nice , caring, and trustworthy person; someone you can really have a good time with, and stay out of trouble."

_ From success in wrestling, to singing and being a good friend, Rice seems to have pinned down a memorable role in East's history.

Art~ et~ Huma.nitie6 gchool

The Arts and Humanities School i~ the place for students who are focused on art studies and English. Arts and Humanities presents students with an opportunity to learn more in-depth about subjects that interest them in a different envrronment than regular high school. -

The classes at Arts and Humanities are smaller in size and more open in ideas.

"Students are treated with more respect and teacher are more willing to accept different ideas," said sophomore Charles Baker. "The curriculum is more flexible and you have more personal freedom, as long as you get your work done and don 't abuse your freedoms."

Junior Sophia Ruser and senior Rocky Cruse agree that the atmosphere at Arts and Humanities is a lot different than in a regular class.

"I feel like I can express my ideas more freely," said Ruser. "Also, I enjoy being with people from other schools." •

Cruse agreed that people are more open minded and there are less restraints · on the students.

"I like being around people with similar beliefs and being able to focus on art, " he said.

Going to Arts and Humanities also has other benefits, such as exciting and unique field trips and projects. One of the most exciting things they have done this year was getting to see "Rent" when it came to Lincoln.

"Everyone at Arts and Humanities got to go to the show. It was an exceptional performance that a lot of students wouldn't have seen otherwise," said Baker. "Students anywhere else wouldn't get that opportunity from their school."

One of the most interesting projects that the students did was a mission statement project in which they were asked to interpret and present something based on what they felt their mission was in life.

"The idea was really challenging to grapple with and drew a lot of different responses," said Ruser. "It was trying to get us to form an idea of what we're all about and explain in a visual manner what we're all about."

Imagine getting to spend your school day working on science activities and being with people who are interested in the same things you are. For the students who attend Zoo School , a science-focus program, this is what they encounter every day.

In addition to its emphasis on science, Zoo School allows students to interact in a different environment than what they are used to in regular high school. Classes are smaller and the students get more one-on-one time with the teacher.

For junior Nick Davis, the different environment is helpful.

"I like being someplace other than East. I also like the smaller classes and getting more individual help," he said. "I am able to learn better at Zoo School."

Sophomore Kristen Burson shares many of the same opinions.

"I like the block schedule because you have more time in each class. Also, I benefit from being around people who are interested in the same things as me," she said

As you can see, Zoo School is an excellent option for those who are interested in science. It allows them to focus on what they enjoy while providing them with a unique learning environment.

Techgchoo(

LPS's Tech school teaches a variety of different classes that help students learn more about the computer-technology field. Tech school students learn everything from programming a website to making a commercial for TV. By learning these skills, the students have some great opportunities for a future career.

''Tech School gives you such a head start in the computer technology career. It's good on resumes," said Tech school senior Shea Svoboda. "Since the classes are smaller, you get more personal attention, which allows us to learn things that regular high school classes don't teach."

Tech school students also do good things to help out in the community. Many times the projects that are assigned to the students are ultimately helpful to local businesses.

"We just finished a commercial for the Community Blood Bank," said senior Lila Meyer, providing an example of the school's partnership with the larger community.

•

For these students, spending a little extra time after school helping others with their computer problems or projects was worth it. Chances are, that time will pay off bi~;f'tim in the future.

Finding theil' own VOICE

gpecia.l Eb .~tuOen-t~ reach out into the community

When teens reach 18, they are finally considered adults. For some students at East, turning 18 means they can join VOICE (Vocational Opportunities In Community Experiences). This program allows special education students, ranging from 18 to 21, to participate in job-training experiences.

Doug Straub has been in VOICE for three years and feels that it has given him the chance to meet new people and continue learning.

•

"It gives students a great opportunity that they wouldn't have otherwise," said Straub. "It also gave me a chance to take more classes at East and allowed me to interact with different people."

Terri Geier-Brindell, a teacher who worked with most of the VOICE students, said that the program is very important and helps the students move on to the next stage of their lives.

"The program is a huge stepping stone for all of the kids," said Geier-Brindell. "I love seeing them succeed at what they are doing."

Geier-Brindell worked directly with every VOICE studen t and helped them focus on the skills they will need to be successf I at their job. She worked with agencies and set up interviews for the students and also sets up bus schedules.

Jon Swanson, a student in VOICE, liked everything abo t the program and felt that it is important because it taught him ho w to get a job.

"I have done many things like mail runs, office work, shre d paper, and I have also stocked shelves," said Swanson. "We als , > did some fun things like pizza parties ."

VOICE takes students to Bryan LGH, Holmes Lake, and LPSDO. The students usually start their day at their jobs and the r , come to East to take classes.

"The program has grown enormously over the years," sai cI Geier-Brindell. "We are seeing a much broader range of studen t , than we were seeing before and I think that is very important. "

On their way to broa.~a.y

Imagine yourself going to a show on Broadway and seeing familiar face on stage. You think to yourself, "I swear I know that person from somewhere " And then it hits you and you remember who that person is, a highschool classmate. At the rate these two girls are going, they soon wil be the familiar faces you'll see.

Jenny Cary, a sophomore at East has been dancing for seven years, singing for as long as she can remember, and has also acted in several plays throughout Lincoln.

"I love to perform," said Cary. "Being on stage is such a rush and singing is my passion."

Anna Christy, also a sophomore at East has been singing since she was in the fifth grade. She just recently started acting in some plays which include, "Into the Woods" and "The Pinewood Bowl Pre-show."

Yes, it all sounds fun, but Anna and Jenny put in more work tha n most people think.

"We usually start rehearsing for the plays two months in advance," said Cary. "Practice is Tuesday through Sunday from about 5:30 until 10:30."

Their schedules are definitely hectic but in the end it is all worth it!

Franti 's father earned a sabbatical from the university and got the opportunity to sp~nd some time in Finland. The Franti family has some heritage in Finland, which helped them make their decision

"I want to get back to my roots and meet some distant family while I am in Finland, " said Franti.

His lifestyle w ill be much different in Finland. He will have to learn to speak the Finnish language , a part of his daily life, and schooling will be different f9r Franti, too. He will only pe taking a couple of classes a day.

"Schools there have a lot less pressure. There are only a few classes, but they are more in-depth ," said Franti.

The apartment where his family is staying is on the Gulf of Finland, and located about six blocks from the Presidential Palace , a place he wants to visit. He also plans to spend a lot of his time playing hockey, and cross-country skiing. No wonder he's excited about the move

One ~tep. cc.t a time

Sophomore Rachel Masters, has been dancing since she was 3 years old. Her mom remembers when Rachel would dance around the house whenever she would move, so she d ecided to enroll her in dance. Ever since she was old enough to like it she knew that quiting was not an option.

Rachel is currently taking 5 classes a week. She also helps out with one class of 6 year olds for an hour each week, and three and a half in her own classes

"Keeping up with school work and dancing is somewhat hard , but I've gotten used to it because I've taken a lot of dance in the past," said Rachel.

Rachel takes jazz, Irish, which is like River dance, ballet, point and tap. She enjoys jazz the most because you get to add your own style and the music isn't classical.

Rachel's friends support her and come to her recitals. She has also made a lot of friends though her years of dancing.

''A lot of people bad mouth dancing , but it is very strenuous and you gain a lot of muscle through it," said Masters.

• Krick: A true techie

Computers have turned on a new generation of technology-savvy people. Sophomore Corby Krick is fascinated by computers and spends a great deal of his time with them.

"I probably spend about 6 hours or more a day on them, whether it's doing homework, browsing the internet, or other stuff," said Krick.

Krick leaves school after sixth period every day and goes to Tech School downtown. There, he works with other tech-oriented students on various projects. Krick even has a job dealing with computers. He works at his dad's pharmacy, Meadowlane Ph~rmacy, as a web-page programmer.

"I like working there because I've been around computers most of my life, and it's just what I like to do. It doesn't really matter what I'm doing as long as it's on a computer," said Krick.

Computers haven't always been such an integral part of people's lives. In fact, when most of his peers were first being introduced to simple games on a computer, Krick was experimenting with programs. It was in school, though, where he first got his computer bug.

"School is wh~t first got me started. My parents then bought me my first computer in fourth grade," said Krick.

Since then he has become quite experienced with using computers. At East, he is a student technician and helps teachers with various computer problems. Not surprisingly, Krick plans on using his computer knowledge in the future.

"I'll probably go into web design or something else dealing with computers," said Krick.

Double Bass gtrummi~ a beat

Sophomore Adam Butler has loved music since the beginning. He started his music career in fourth grade singing for a group called Pueri Cantores. In fifth grade he took up the French horn. In sixth grade Butler decided he wanted to try out the bass. He chose the bass because it would carry over to bass guitar and he likes the sound of it.

"I like it because it is like two instruments in one: it can play high notes of a cello and really low notes," Butler said.

His love for music has paid off. He was in East's singing group, FSO, and played bass in East orchestra. In fact, Butler is so good at bass that he has been involved in many other highly selective groups. He was in Junior Youth Orchestra tor three years, Lincoln Youth Symphony for two years, helped at Strings Alliance in Lincoln, and played bass guitar in a band for his church, St. Mark's. He was even first chair in All-State Orchestra.

There was one moment that Butler will never forget.

"At All-State, everything clicked. All different people from all over the state that didn't know each other sounded professional. We sounded really good together. It was a cool experience," Butler said.

While much of his success can be credited to his bass teacher, Mike Schwartz, the rest is from his natural music talent and ability.

After experiencing his many music groups, Butler realized that music is something he will probably be continuing in. He hopes to major in music at UNL.

Imagine attending a school in a different country, with different races and a new language: That is how 55 students in English Language Learners (ELL) felt. All of them came from different areas of the world and tried to make it in a "world" that seemed so big and made them feel so small.

Students came from many different countries, including Venezuela, China, Korea, Mexico, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Japan, Guatemala, Nigeria and Congo

The hardest thing that ELL students had to deal with was the weather. Most students came from a warmer country that didn't have to deal with the snow or cold weather, but they all dealt with the change as needed.

Another change was dealing with the culture and the "American ways." If you are not from America you interpret things differently than people here. Most people don't even think about how hard the change would be, but it really is a difficult change.

"I've dealt with change. I'm an international student at East.

I have to be careful not to be mistaken so people don't get mad at me for what I say," said Kyungsuk Chang.

ELL students already had numerous things to worry ab o Jt, but after September 11 th it only brought on more. They worrie d about how they were going to be treated and what people woul d do. Luckily, all of their feelings were unfounded.

"After September 11 th , I have been treated better than I was before,"· said junior Varna Rahimi.

ELL helped the students in their school work. The stud e 1ts were asked if they needed help in their classes or with their homework. Many of the students in ELL felt that they were hel p d and treated well by the teachers

ELL students have excelled in many areas this year an • 1II feel that the ELL program was very rewarding in their school

well as their home life.

Homecoming n.ot ~oon.. forgotten..

For many students, Homecoming begins long before the football game. From getting a date and finding the perfect dress, to making reservations and buying tickets, a lot of preparation goes into making the night one to remember. The preparation paid off, though, as students enjoyed a night of fun on Saturday, September 29th.

That'Friday, East's varsity football team took part in a dance of another kind. East took on Lincoln High for this year's Homecoming football game. After a brutal battle , Lincoln High came out on top and ended up taking East, 14-12

"We played our guts out the first half," said senior varsity football player Christian Barth. "We just forgot to come back for the second."

The disappointing loss didn't keep anyone from having fun at Saturday night's dance, though. Attendees agreed that planning

and decorations play a part in making the night a special one.

"The decorations this year were really cool," said senio r Mark Carlson. "The dance was a lot of fun, too."

This year ' s great decorations and extensive planning w e re compliments of the Speech and Debate Teams. With a huge turnout, this year's "Star Struck" Homecoming dance was a big t dt. A crowning moment for senior Kelly Espenschade came whe n 3he was named this year's Homecoming queen.

"I couldn't believe it when I won," said Espenschade. " was surprised and felt really honored. I never expected to win ." She shared honors with Homecoming king Adam Benash.

People didn't need to be crowned to feel like royalty, though, making this Homecoming one that won't soon be forgo t m

Change is a regular part of a teenager 's life. While some changes may not seem significant down the road, t y can mean a lot at the time. Rememb e .. when you were in middle school and 1 u couldn't even choose the classes you took? Freshmen have a lot to get use c1 to coming into high school for the first ti n e. Sophomore Josh Loy remembers ba c k tc when he first came to East.

"I liked being able to pick my vn classes and to see all the diversity in t ot only age, but people, " said Loy .

The changes really are notice c le by the junior ye~r. Suddenly, you are 10w an upperclassman, and you get to go >ut •to lunch. Also, you get to drive, whic h is a huge deal for teenagers You get to t a :e different classes and you get more choices. When you think about chan ~ 3s,. from sophomore to junior year, thoug ~ the first thing on your mind is being a t et( go out to lunch. But for junior Mandi e Craw lunch was the last thing on her mind.

"I have never been this busy. I have things to do alrnost every nrght "' ith musical rehearsal," said Craw. "I ha v ~ harder classes , but better grades tha r before and more homework This ye a 1 I realized that homework is really impo r ant because college is coming and I nee good grades to get into college ."

Becoming a senior brings wit h t the rush of it being your last year of hi 1h school; getting ready to start college z 1d thinking about a career. But even as a senior you still remember what it was ke coming into East as a freshman.

" I was excited and nervous. I , ,as ready to move on and be with older kit s while at the same time I was scared o· the older kids because of all the rumors I heard about them," said senior Chan t !I Amack :.___' 'As for this year, I have notic € d that the homework is harder, but I ha v 1 a lot less of it and teachers seem to res r ect us more, and underclassmen look up 1 ) us."

Although the changes are not , ery big from grade to grade you will notic e in the end that they really do make a big difference.St b K t Bl h ory y: a y a a

Niko fretth know1 hh 1tuff

Most students begin their study of foreign language during their freshman year and if they're lucky, they can ask the question "Where is the bathroom?" after first semester. But Niko Frettis isn't your typical student. At age 15, he's fluent in French and Spanish, as well as English.

Niko's parents, who are both from Argentina, taught him Spanish and English while he was growing up. Although he was born in the United States, his family goes back to Argentina once or twice a year to visit family who lives there. Although Niko has a French mentor in school, he speaks a mix of Spanish and English at home.

Being tri-lingual is not only a great accomplishment; it also has many benefits, according to Niko.

"It definitely helps in music because a lot of musical terms are in a foreign language. It is also helpful in English class because a lot of words come from Latin bases and both Spanish and French have strong Latin roots."

Besides the scholastic benefits, being trilingual can also offer a different way to look at life.

"You feel a connection to more than one group of peopie and that's pretty cool. You can also look at situations from different viewpoints."

Although being tri-lingual is definitely something special, Niko claims that he's just a normal teenager. He takes a hard class load, plays soccer, is on the debate team, and plays in the orchestra.

No matter how average this modest teen claims to be, it is evident to the rest of us that he is no average freshman!

At the age of 7, most people are learning how to read and how to add. When sophomore Keaton Kiewra turned 7 ,though, he first learned how to play ·chess from his father. It was a skill that proved to pay off for him.

Shortly after learning how to play chess, Kiewra started playing in chess tournaments. He practiced a lot over the internet and subscribed to chess magazines. He studied the games of some of the best chess players around the world, which helped Kiewra get into his own groove. In 6th grade, Kiewra won his first National Scholastic Championship. Two years later, he picked up his second championship in 3 years.

"Every players has their own opening," said Kiewra, when talking about his strategy.

Kiewra has traveled extensively for chess tournaments. Some of the places that chess has taken him are Dallas, Boston, Arizona, and even Argentina.

Kiewra has gotten a lot of publicity from his chess accomplishments. He has had a few articles in the newspaper, but his real publicity came when he was interviewed by a couple of different chess magazines. It all goes to show that, when it comes to chess, there is no messing with this whiz.

Freshman Chase Einsphar was this year's freshman/sophomore Mr. East. He is not only one of the coolest freshmen, but he is very funny. Jake Johnson and Darin Turner are both friends with Chase and know his funniest moments.

"I remember one time when we were on the bike trail and Chase chased after a biker doing his rapture impression and I could stop laughing for 20 minutes," said Jake Johnson.

Chase hasn't had that many embarrassing moments, but one of his most was at the winter pep rally when the announcer asked him if his height would effect his ability to win Mr. East.

Friends say the best thing Chase did at Mr. East was when he was performing at Mr. East and moon walked across the stage in evening wear. Also at the Mr. East pageant, he did a fight scene and knocked someone _ out and then himself got knocked out.

"I liked winning Mr. East because people laughed_at me," said Einsphar.

Chase Einsphar is a kid of many talents. He has a lot of friends behind him to support his "Problem Child" looks and good attitude towards life.

An.n.ie F.ice make huge impact

They always say, "Two heads are better than one." .For the Lincoln East JV volleyball and Varsitf basketball teams though, "Two freshman are better than one!" Freshmen Rachel Schwartz and Annie Rice played on the JV volleyball and Varsity basketball teams this year and both made quite the impact.

Schwartz was a starter on the JV volleyball team, getting playing time as a setter, outside hitter and on the right side. Rice, on the other hand, was a first-row specialist and played both right side and outside hitter.

"The competition is a lot more difficult in high school," said Rice. "Players are bigger, more agile and qaicker. " Their aider teammates helped these freshmen make the transition to high-school sports.

"I was really nervous my first basketball game of the year," said Schwartz. "But the girls on the team have made me fell very comfortable and this makes the game much more enjoyable."

Schwartz and Rice both have been playing volleyball and basketball since the third grade. Rice played volleyball for Sports Courts while Schwartz played for The Challengers. They both played bas~etball on the Cornhusker All-Star Team, which is well-known throughout Lincoln.

"High-school sports are a lot different from club sports," said Schwartz. "Like Annie said, the competition is at a much higher level and coaching style is a lot different."

Both have had to adjust from their clubsports days.

"We usually had set plays in club basketball," said Rice. "Here in high school you pretty much free-ball it and just play the game."

According to fellow teammate Rachel Manijak, both Schwartz and Rice are adapting well to the Varsity level of play.

"We enjoy having them both on the team. They are doing really well and learn very quick," said Manijak. "It is also fun to have two freshmen instead of one because that means we get to pick on them twice as much!"

Am.Ex cc.l'lO ')?op culture ~pice up ~tu~nt

If you're the kind of person who wants a little spice in your schedule or if you're looking for a class that. simply sounds like something fun to do, you've got options. Thanks to two newly introduced classes here at East, you can find an experience unlike any other. Pop Culture and American Experience both to meet students' needs and interests, in a different way.

Pop Culture, which is in its second year, is, as its name implies a popular choice. The class offers individualized projects, unique discussions and experiences and allows students to grow in their creativity. Taught by Mrs. Holt and Mr. Davis, the class is made up of sophomores through seniors, and is truly unique.

"We discuss aspects of our culture and how they affect us," said junior Kristin Jensen. "We look at things that happened in the past, during present time, and things we expect to happen in the future."

To the relief of many pop culture students, there are no tests, but they do find themselves doing a lot of projects and taking part in a lot of discussions.

"It's one of the most fun classes I've ever taken. You can use your own experiences to learn a lot and really get creative,"

said Jensen.

American Experience, also known as AmEx, taught by ~ Baker and Mr. Flowerday, is also a very unique offering here at East.

''The class is based on a lot of discussing and conversations, it's fun and you get to learn about other people' s perspectives," said junior Heather McNenny.

In its third year , this double period class is also gaining 1 popularity and is expected to be offered for years to come. Am E offers a combined twist of history and literature. Comprised of juniors, the class offers a different approach to learning, utilizin g 1 lot of discussions and projects. AmEx encourages students to h re fun, while continuing to learn at the same time.

"We have to do multicultural reports throughout the ye a r which really helps us expand our horizons," said McNenny. These ciasses, unique to East, will be joined by others , such as Sports Literature, and give students fresh new ways to learn about the world.

The work it ta.~ to make the yea.rbook right

You're sitting in class and the teacher assigns you yet another paper to write. Realizing that it is only some dumb paper that won't matter, you figure what's a few points off your grade? Imagine if writer on the yearbook staff took that approach to one of their assignments? It sounds weird, but you bought our homework. That's why it is our responsibility to make it good enol!gh that 1500 students will want to buy one. You purchased the staff's homework that we spent a whole year perfecting. ·

The staff this year was composed of 22 students ranging from freshmen to seniors. Kimberly Dahl benefited from being on the staff as a freshman.

"It made the transition easier from middle school to high school, " said Dahl. "I feel more comfortable with the upperclassmen and I know what's going on in school more."

Dahl was one of several staffers on the layout team. The people on the layout team are the ones that put the book together, literally. They take the stories from the writers and the pictures from the photographers and arrange them all in an eye-catching way.

this year.

"It's a great way to meet new people and to be involve d on a project where you get to see the whole thing being put togeth er," said Fitzgerald. "For anyone interested in being on the yearbo ok staff I would definitely suggest trying out. It is a fun experience 1nd the people are great."

One of the most important jobs was that of the editors. '" his year, the staff had two. Senior editors Kim Rutledge and Ho ll , Davis took on the huge responsibility of making sure everythin c. was done perfectly. They edited the stories, looked over layou t and corrected proofs. They also assigned new stories and set deadlines. They were the ones who kept things flowing and he h d everyone as much as they could.

"It's a great feeling to know the staff has done it's best c i d that I've done all I can to help them," said Rutledge.

So you just got done reading my homework. Aren't y OL glad you bought it! The next time you get that paper to write, g , e it your best shot. Maybe someday people will be buying it!

What is really behind the scenes of the newspaper known to us as the Oracle? This quality newspaper is put together by students who plan to use their writing skills in their career.

"I want to do something with public relations, but I feel skills I learn from the Oracle will help me in that field," said senior Katie Will.

Will is the copy editor of the Oracle. Duties that she is in charge of include the first proofreading of stories, her own column every other issue, and assisting with layout.

This hard working staff produces about eight newspapers and one insert throughout the school year. It takes about three weeks to put together the newspaper that all of us Spartans thoroughly enjoy. Since this paper is written by students, for students, it is easier to read because the writers know more about what people our age are looking to read.

"Students prefer stories with pictures, stories about people they know, and I have noticed that a lot of people focus in on the Spartans Speak Out section of the Oracle," said junior Jonna Huseman.

After seeing their work turned into a newspaper it makes the staff feel proud about themselves.

"Being a member of the Oracle staff is an honor for everyone. I am impressed by the dedication to excellence the staff has demonstrated this year," said Will.

On a Mission

gp.c,trtetl% rethe hop&\ etl'lC ~rea.lm

Although sleeping late, playing sports, and getting a tan rule most of a teenager ' s summer, going on church mission trips is also a common activity. While location and work vary on each trip, the goal tends to be the same: giving teens a chance to help others and to share their faith.

Junior Julianne Matczyszyn went to Gunnison, Colorado, to participate in "Christ In Youth." It is a conference where teens follow a daily schedule that includes things such· as praise and worship time, group time, and classes in order to grow in and strengthen their faith.

" 'Will You Surrender?' was the theme for this year. One day you would surrender your hands, the next your body, then your heart, and then your mind," said Matczyszyn.

Senior Jordan Berlin went to St. Louis with her church.

"A group of eight people, including myself , went to a shelter for women who didn't have any place to go or who had an abusive boyfriend or husband and cleaned the house," she said.

Right: The whole group of 25 kids and adults had a mission, though each group had a different mission, all were well appreciated (Photo courtesy of: Holly Davis).

Junior Lauren Head 's group along with East students sophomores Jenny Cary and Morgan Grubbe fixed up a woman's shelter. Along with fixing and cleaning the shelter they also watched and played with the kids (Photo courtesy of: Lauren Head).

Not only do these teens get a chance to help those in need, but they often gain a new perspective on life themselves.

"I realized that the majority of the people in Lincoln are very fortunate," said junior Lauren Head, who went to St. Louis with Berlin. "Most of us have food when we need it, a permane r t place to live, and families that love us."

Senior Andrew Prior participated in a program called "Youth Wave-Youth With A Vision For Evangelism." He said tha t his trip changed the way he looks at people.

"Youth Wave got me to look at everyone in a different

in a more Christian way," he said.

While these teens chose to give up some of their free

last summer, what they lost in tanning time was more than mad

up in the life lessons they learned.

"She has a new challange for my classmates and me every day," said senior Erin Palmer. "We are all determined to succeed because she pushes us to do our best."

Dr. Cognard has been at East for 16 years She was nominated for Nebraska Teacher of the Year by John Heineman, a teacher at Lincoln High School. After being selected as a candidate, she had to submit seven essays and was then interviewed by a committee. On October 2, a group of state education officials , LPS administrators and journalists barged into Cognard's room while she was in the middle of teaching a class, and announced that she was this year's Nebraska Teacher of the Year.

"I was beyond pale," said Cognard. "I couldn't imagine a greater professional moment."

Her enthusiasm was evident to everyone.

"She was ecstatic, literally jumping up and down," said Palmer. "She definitely deserves what she got."

English teacher Andrea Baker knows Dr. Cognard not only as an East colleague , but also as her former professor at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

"She really pushed me hard in class, and I wanted to do everything in my power to impress her," said Baker. "She has continued to challenge me to try new ideas in the classroom."

Cognard sees this award as an opportunity to teach people -outside of the classroom, as well.

"I feel that this will give me the chance to be a spokesperson for education and teachers in general," said Cognard .

Her English colleagues feel as though they've been honored by her accolades, as well.

"She is well-respected within the department and school," said Baker. "We wouldn't trade her for a million dollars. Wait...a million? Okay, but not a cent less!"

Keepin• It Oean

The people behil'lC the ~cen.e

Many times some of the best people go unnoticed. What does it take to keep East High clean? A hard-working custodial staff of about 19 people who work day and night.

Not only does the custodial staff have to clean the building, they also take care of the land that surrounds East. With that much space to cover East's custodians have to be ready for anything.

"Just a few of the duties I have as a custodian are cleaning the cafeteria, re-striping the football fietd, opening lockers that are jammed for students, and picking up trash around school," said Randy Stollar, a daytime custodian at East High.

Until last spring, Stollar was the Building Superintendent at McPhee Elementary, but switched to East because the hours fit his schedule a little better. Since he's been here, he has had only good things to say.

"The people here are great!" said Stollar.

The feeling is mutual. East students think only the best about the custodial staff.

"East janitors are the best," said freshman Katie Safarik.

''Our janitors are well equipped cleaning machines," said senior Brian Neemann, more commonly known as 'Nemo'.

To all of the hard working janitors at East, we salute you! Story by: Adam Benash

Dollfins; take s;ports; to a nevv level

If you' re thinking about trying out for a sport, you prob~bly think of the usual: basketball, football, soccer, or volleyball. One sport that requires talent • and strength that you may not think of i s the synchronized swimming club at East, better known as Dollfins.

Dollfins is a select group that meets during eighth period but practices often extend late into the evening. To be a Dollfin requires a significant commitment. Not only do they perform, but they also hold fundraisers. Although the commitment is huge, most of the Dollfins agree that it is worth it.

"It's great exercise and you get to meet a lot of great people," said sophomore Mandy Kraus, a first-

year member.

Jill Harmon , a second year member, agreed. "It's something I really enjoy. Everyone is like family," she said.

Still, some people may not consider synchronized swimming to be a real sport. Those skeptics should consider this: What other sport requires you to swim underwater with your eyes open for two minutes without taking a breath.

"People may think Dollfins is some kind of joke, but it requires just as much strength, enduran :e, and commitment as any other activity," said Krau s

Intramural~ make it fun

Want an easy way to get a couple hours of exercise a week? Join an intramural team. Intramural sports let you have fun. You get to choose your team, so you are playing with your friends, and you don't have to practice. All you have to do is show up, play the games and have fun. It also is a great way to meet new people and get involved.

"I play intramural league because I love to play sports but I hate the politics of organized sports," said senior Clui.s Lawrence.

The appeal of intramurals extends beyond the players.

"I have enjoyed intramurals a lot. It is neat making connections with students outside of regular classroom settings," said Patty Q,pe , the organizer of the intramural league.

Most people think that the intramural league is for the scrubs who don't make the teams. The competition doesn't fall short in the intramural league at East, though.

"There is plenty of competition. I think there is more competition at East than there is at most other schools," said Lawrence.

O:,pe would agree.

"There was almost too much competition. It's a league f r fun and I don't know how many times I caught myself telling everyone to chill out," said O:,pe.

There was so much competition between the teams tha t they hired people to ref and keep score for the games. It wasn't a perfect solution, though.

"They try really hard, but to be honest they just don't CLit," said Lawrence.

O:,pe defended the refs, though.

" I think that anyone who is reliable, shows up day af

to get yelled at by the players deserves to make minimum wage ,' ' ;he said.

Next time you are sitting around doing nothing, sign ur .:-or intramural league and enjoy yourself.

Everyone knows what it is · like to have too many

"Dur Stu.(}) Nights O'Fun helps me with the skills I things to do and not enough time to do them. East's Student Cbuncil members know this all too well. They are constantly busy working on ways to improve the school and better the lives of fellow students.

A typical Stu--Co week starts and ends with committee days, during which Stu.(}) members break up into different groups and work on upcoming events. Some major projects this year were Snatraps, Mr. East, Student Services, the Bogus Ball and other dances. Tuesdays were set aside to learn about leadership in the community and different leadership oppurtunities. Wednesdays were discussion days, led by senior President Eric Trevino, who discussed each committee's progress. On Thursdays, Stu-Cb members got to put their skills to good use by helping out the community and cleaning the school.

It may seem like a lot of hard work, but Stu.(}) is also about having fun~

need to become the first female president," said senior Kelly Espenschade, who coordinated the Mr. East pageant.

Members agree that the best part about Stu.(}) was meeting new people that you may not have had the chance to meet otherwise. Stu.(}) also held exchanges with other schools to learn how they may run things clifferently. In addition, Stu--Co members also attended a leadership convention in North Platte, where they met even more new people.

"It [Student Q)Uncil] is fun beca~e you meet different people and you learn th.at freshmen don't live up to the stereotypes," said senior Vice President Ashley Wells.

Making friendships that will last a lifetime and gaining the skills to become a future president make Student Cbuncil worth all of the hard work and time.

Speech and Debate determined to take Sta~ -

For years, East has been known for its Speech and Debate teams. Finishing first in several competitions and then taking State several years in a row proves that East is good. And, after taking runner up in State last year, East speech and debate students were more than determined to do all they could to be the best. That determination paid off when they took state on March 21st. An addition to the team winning gold, Amanda Flanagan and Sarah Hranac also took home first place finishes.

"One thing different about this year that we have not had in the past is the depth we have on the team," · said senior Mandi Irions. "For every event, we have three good co m p et it ors . "

Speech and Debate are two separate groups categorized under Forensics, but they generally practice together and attend the same meets. Speech concentrates more on speaking to and audience whereas Debate concentrates more on arguing and proving a point to a group of judges.

Hard work and determination are the

core of · the Speech and Debate teams this ye H They spend long, tedious hours of hard practice trying to perfect their speeches.

"We have to memorize our speech and incorporate proper hand gestures and movements in it," said sophomore Emily Potter. "Mr. Davis and Mr. Ficthorn are a b 1 s help. They are _always there willing to help l s out."

Speech and Debate is not all work and 1, fun, though. The students involved agree t Lt it is a great opportunity to meat all kinds of new people and feel that the meets are also , lot of fun.

"I love to watch students give dramatic interpretations," said Potter . "They get rea l y into it and it is always very interesting."

This year's speech team certainly caug the interest of judges, qualifying a school-record five ~tudent~ (seniors Mandy Irions, Amanda Flanagan, Sridar Ayala . Chris Tturald, and freshman Inigh Mitra ' for Nationals in Charlotte, N.C this summer.

Singing Their Hearts Out

Qingar~ and Qwving Choir hi~ all ~ha righ~ no~

If you walk by the east end of our school, you will most likely hear the sound of singing. With hundreds of students in eight choirs, there is a place for almost anyone who wants to sing. For those who are serious about singing, there are also two select groups: Singers and Swing Choir.

Singers is concictently one of the best choirs in the city and, with a lot of great talent and hard work, this year was no different.

"We have awesome songs and an awesome blend," said senior Taylor Ullrich. "We will be one of the top choirs this year."

Besides getting a chance to be in one of the top perfonning groups at East, member of Singers also have a chance to develop close friendships and sing in a fun atmosphere.

"The class is verty informal. You walk in and everyone is visiting and laughing. It just has a laid~back feeling," said senior Lindsey Hayes.

Junior Jesse Smith agreed. "It's a very friendly environment that gives you a break from the rest of yo u r classes."

It also opens the door to East's other select group Singers have the opportunity to try out for Swin Choir. Although Swing Choir requires a lot of work anc a 1 huge time commitment, it is definitely worth it.

Senior Melanie Dvorak said, "My favorite p art of Swing Choir is how well we work together and how muc 1 fun we have together."

(})mpetitions are a big part of Swing Choir and t 1e group has a long history of doing well. This year looks t i , be the same. Swing Choir got third in their first competition and hopes to continue doing well. Many of the members agree that competitons are one of the mos t fun parts of being in the group.

"(})mpetitions are really thrilling for us and the band. All of our hard work pays off," said junior Katy Dornbos.

As you can see, singing at East is a lot of fun an offers something for everyone. So if you like to sing, thi U< about doing it at East. •

IEThe Mus;ic Man is; coming to town.

Every year, Lincoln East Singers and Chamber Choir put on a musical. This year's musical, "The Music Man", proved to be a positive experience for all involved.

For senior Emily Beckwith, who played the part of Mrs. Paroo, the experience was something she really enjoyed.

"I liked getting to know all the other actors and interacting with them on stage," said Beckwith.

Senior Nicole Vaccaro also had fun with her role as a townsperson.

"It was a great opportunity to work on my acting skills and meet new people at the same time," stated Vaccaro.

East High English and drama teacher Erin Koesters was one of the directors of the show and one of many who put a lot of hard work into the show and were rewarded with its success.

"The cast and crew did an outstanding job and worked professionally to put on a successful production," said Koesters.

The people you see on stage aren't the only ones who W ( -k hard to make the musical run smoothly There are a lot of peor involved you never see: tech crew, costume crew, make,up crew ID sound and light crew

Junior Sarah Stefkovich was head of the costume ere, and also helped with make,up .

"It takes collaboration of a lot of people to make sometl n ~ this big work," she said.

The actors, directors, and crew were not the only ones v 10 enjoyed the show. Senior Sarah Hranac, who attended the sh< v two different nights, thought the cast and crew were excellent.

".L.L\ll the main characters and townspeople did a great jo'. 1 is definitely a testament to the quality of the production that I c ul go to more than one night and enjoy it just as much, if not more ' No matter whom you talk to, yo~ can tell the musical \\, .s i great success.

Ens;emble goes; global

One of the biggest challenges for East's many musicians is deciding which musical group is best for them. Many of them find their way to Wind Fnsemble, one of the school's most popular .select music groups. While its name may not imply it, the Wind Ensemble's music represents a variety of styles, from Cajun folk songs to a jungle--inspired piece.

"Wind Ensemble has challenging music yet everyone has fun," said junior trumpet player Paul Brandt.

The opportunity to play challenging pieces with other talented musicians is a tpugh one to pass up.

"Wind Ensemble's a good chance to make real music with other talented musicians," said junior French Hom player Alex Wright. Others agree.

"It's fun because the people are good, so they play at your level," said junior trumpet player Aaron Hill.

The class is led by East newcomer lance Nielsen, who works hard to heighten the experience for his class members. He does this by bringing in professional .clinicians, holding sectionals and even providing foods that help authenticate the music they're playing.

"He's very dedicated to the Wind Ensemble," said senior saxophonist Holly Davis. "He wants us to be the best we can be."

With valuable life skills, good grades, and talented players~ the future looks bright for the East boys' tennis teams.

"Future teams are going to be really good. We have some strong upcoming underclassmen," said varsity junior Alex Carper.

With only one varsity player returning, the tennis team had many challenges to face, and the season was not exactly what was hoped for. The varsity team made it to State, but, unfortunately they did not place. While there were many talented players, it was a tough schedule.

"We caught a tough draw," Carper said.

The season was still good for all three East tennis teams. The boys had fun and learned a lot of skills.

"Our team really improved since the beginning of the year," said freshman JV player Adam Breitbarth.

One area where the boys definitely did not need improvement in was academics.

"They are not just competitive on the courts but competitive in the classroom, also," said varsity Coach Je Hoham.

This year five varsity players earned Academic Conference and All State awards. With 15 straight years o f five or more players receiving this distinguished honor, Ea ;t holds the state record.

"The average GPA of our team is a 3.97," said Coa, l Hoham.

This has been far from a typical year for the girls' golf team. With a new coach and a very young team, each day was an adventure.

"You can't just go to practice thinking it will be the same as last year, things are different and that's okay," said Frannie Bruening, a junior on the team.

Team unity was a lot better this year, according to senior Katie Milius.

"I have enjoyed this team more than any other and I know more about all the girls."

Another difference this year was the number of girls participating, with twelve on varsity and seven on junior varsity. The number was up from previous years, an encouraging sign for years to come.

The biggest change this year came in the form of a

new coach. With Vicky Johnson retiring last year, Kevin French took over this year. Although this was the first tim e Coach French had coached a girls' team, he thought the transition went well.

"The girls have been a lot of fun and I am feeling more comfortabie as the days go by. I am always looking or ways to help the girls with their game and have an enjoyar, le experience in the golf program. Fortunately, I had a great group of seniors and parents who have assisted me throug l out the year."

The cross-country team focused on working hard, improving overall times, and qualifying and competing at State. Team members said that cross-country brought numerous rewards. They got the reward of friends, being in good shape and pushing themselves the extra mile.

"It's very rewarding and you feel a sense of accomplishment when you get through a long hard run/' said junior, Julian Kramer.

Friends are important in cross-country, because they motivate each other to get out and run. The team has had a good attitude, which helped everyone.

"As usual, the kids were very cooperative and hard working this year," said Coach Brian Kabourek.

Cross-country runners have to commit a lot of time inside and outside of school to running and conditioning. The

hard work paid off this year when the boys finished 10th State and girls finished 4th at State. For the girls, it was the second-b~st performance ever at State.

Junior Ashley Sabin was an outstanding runner wt o medaled at State, putting forth effort and plenty of heart. ht coaches also believe she should be among the best in the tat, next year.

While the team loses several runners to graduatio r hopes are high for next year.

"We lose some really quality seniors in both abilit: and personality, but the future still looks bright," said Co ;h Kabourek.

Talent, a good coaching staff, determined players, and dedicated fans are what make a football season successful. Winning isn't everything, though, and this year the Spartans found success in more ways than one. With a group of hardworking and talented individuals, both JV and varsity · teams surpassed obstacles and went on to end the season with a sense of victory. Many team members and fans agreed, that two of the most anticipated games this year were against Pius X and Southeast. The junior varsity team was successful in beating Southeast, and one of the Varsity teams highlights of the year was beating Pius.

"We were out to win," said junior swing player Jon Sims. "We really came out and played hard. With Trevino's 90-yard rush for a touchdown, our hopes of winning became reality."

"The Spartans beat Pius 14 to 0. With this shutout along with three others, East broke the previous record of the most shutouts.

This year's teams had a lot of potential, and the coaching staff helped them do their best, although the playe rs themselves also had to be motivated to play their best.

"There was a lot of talent on this year's teams," sa •d Sims. "Unfortunately it wasn't always used."

A close-knit community helped the players have f t n while also working toward victory.

"It was my first year starting on varsity," said juni, r Marc Maguire. "That was an experience in itself."

Hut, hut, hike! This season sparked a bright future for the Spartans football team in the coming years . This season was a good learning experience for the freshman and sophomore football teams. Both teams learned essential skills to become better players, including learning to play as a team, being in good shape, and being disciplined.

The Spartans did have a strong suit. They had players who wanted to step up and play the main roles.

"The teams had good leadership," said 9/10 football trainer, Mandy Riggs.

"We had a lot of talent but we didn't always play as a team. The defense was good but we missed a few tackles," said freshman Brent Gritton.

"I think that one of the strong points that we had was a lot of depth in each position," said sophomore George Simpson.

Having depth in a lot of positions was partly credited

to the great training staff that kept them in good health T hey iced, taped, and wrapped all of the injuries of the football players, and got water for the players during the games.

Many players had certain parts of the season that fo ey especially·looked forward to playing. As expected, the majority of the teams most anticipated game of the seaso r was the ongoing rivalry between East and Southeast. Wit l little experience the Spartans knew that it was going to b e a tough game.

Now that some of the Spartans have a little playi n , time under their belt, they know what to expect of game t ne situations. Stepping up to the challenge as a team was a k y factor that the Spartans learned this season. With some practice, determination, and a lot of heart the future look s bright for the Spartans football team.

The junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams have had a promising season. With a lot of experience and a lot of talent, the varsity squad is having, what some call one of the best seasons of East volleyball history.

Almost every girl on the volleyball teams have been playing since 2nd or 3rd grade. With this much experience , there is no doubt that they will take it to the top. Christie Johnson steps it up on the court by being the starting setter as well as co-captain of the varsity team.

"I am like the quarterback in football. I have to get the team hyped up before a game," Johnson said.

Players agree that Johnson helps mentally prepare for matches. Johnson will be bringing these leadership skill to the University of Nebraska volleyball program. The past summer she made a commitment to play there.

Another thing that leads the team to success is the team unity. Since freshman year, the teams have been

typically the same group of girls. This has caused th teams to become close on the court as well as off. Volleyball is a team sport and unity is the key to success.

"Team bonding is an important factor so you trust your team on the court," JV player Jordi r Craft explains.

There are many leaders on both teams. Th ,' are five returning varsity players on the varsity tea r and six added seniors, making a total of eleven sem The JV team also consists of many upperclassman. All the leadership skills help prove that th l Lincoln East 2001 JV and varsity teams will defini t go down in history.

This year's freshman and reserve volleyball teams experienced both victory and defeat this season. However, each team worked hard on one important factor to prepare them for their years ahead.

"This year we focused a lot of our time on communication," said freshman 'A' player Jamie Foster.

Becky Diesley coached the freshman 'A' team, and helped her players improve their skills and attitudes.

"She is positive. When we're down, she gives us talks to get us back up there to do good. She inspires us," said freshman 'A' player Maggie Starkweather.

The freshman 'A' team had a winning season, ending with a 9-4 record and placing second in the conference.

"It was a good season. We had a lot of good players and we worked well together," said Foster.

The freshman 'B' team didn't have the winning season they had hoped for.

"We didn't win very many games, but we all played well," said freshman 'B' player Stephanie Larson.

Mike Ellerbruch coached the freshman 'B' team this season, focusing on communication, as well as their hitting game.

"We improved on getting the ball over the net, but I think we needed more improvement on calling the ball," s 1d 1 Larson.

Improvement was on the minds of the reserve team. too. The team ended the season feeling they could have d 1e better with better communication.

"I think we needed to improve on talking a lot mon ," said sophomore reserve player Colleen Newlon. The rese r ve team still had a winning season with an 8-4 record, though . Their coach, Kari Peterson, helped the girls by pointing out what they needed to work on and helping the improve.

"We played well and we won most of our games," said Newlon.

All three teams focused on communication and improving their skills this season.

"We all got to know each other, which helped our communication skills," said Starkweather.

waking up around 5:30 every morning may sound like punishment, but to many East swimmers and divers, it was something they were used to.

"It's tough waking up in the mornings, but in the end, it's rewarding," said junior Danielle Franz ..

One of the hardest things for a swimmer is balancing school work, home life and swimming. The swimmers this year, though, have done well focusing on school and on swimming.

"I think that swimming has helped our team to focus on their homework. I see some of the guys doing their homework before practice," said Coach Niki Schlegelmilch. "I think their grades go up during swimming season."

A normal swimming practice consists of dry lands (sit-ups, push-ups and other physical workouts on the ground), a 600-yard warm up and a main set, which is the hardest swim. When they get done, they do a short cool down and go home.

"There are many challenging sets during practice. It's not an easy thing," said Franz.

Many of the swimmers and divers have done great this year, but a few stand out including sophomore Josh Fleming, freshman Russell Mueller and senior Ryan Fleming, who

dropped 15 seconds off his time to make it to State. Eric P:J made huge leaps in his diving to make the cut for State in hi senior year. Most people felt the coaching had helped the m excel in swimming.

''Coach Fleming's attitude towards life and swiffiIIll mixed in with the humor of fellow teammates is what I enj ): the most about swimming," said junior Seth Rye.

The diving team had 3 divers make it to State this year. Divers pulled together as a team despite having so m t new faces. In the pool and on the boards, the teams made : r impression.

"It was nice to see us capture the city and conferern e titles. It's been 7 years since some~ne had gotten both boy ; and girls," said Coach Fleming.

Both swimming and diving had a great season. Bo . i got 4 th at State and girls got 6 th Danielle Franz placed 4 th r 3 events and 5 th in one. Jenna Stroud earned a 5th in final 1. Senior John Murman,juniors PJ Sorensen and Joe Piep t 1 sophomores Rory Swift and Pat Elsener and freshman Russell Mueller also placed within the top 12 at State.

Last ummer, the East girls basketball program took 19 girls and four adults to Colorado for nine days. Some of the highlig.hts included: whitewater rafting, a cave expedition, Water World (one of the largest water parks in the country), a Rockies baseball game, and a challenging ropes course.

Of course, they also played some basketball. The girls were split up into two teams and participated in the gold and silver brackets of a prestigious tournament in Denver. The silver team rebounded from a disappointing first day by winning the consolation bracket in the tournament.

With only four losses, the team felt that all the hard work they put in this summer and determination of the players paid off for them this year.

"Overall, we had a very good year," said junior returning starter Christy Olsen. "We had a lot of fun this season and created good friendships."

Varsity girls basketball, however, got off to a rough start. They lost their first game by four, but the team still had

high hopes for the season. They showed potential and a successful season wasn't far from anyone's thoughts. Thei r next two games were against very qualified opponents, but East was ~ble to pull out wins against both of them. The te Lm won their first three games after Christmas break before falling to Pius in a very physical battle. After a disappointi1 g loss to Southeast, the Spartans rebounded by upsetting number five Fremont.

Their regular season ended with four key games in , x days. They went 2-2 on these final games, including an up · .., t win over Columbus. However, first round of districts, the Spartans weren't able to pull out the upset and their season came to a startling end.

"I think that as a team we learned a lot from this season," said Fosdick. "Next year will be a different story Plans for next year are already in the making. May1 it will be the year they'll win it all.

Despite low numbers at try-outs, the underclassman girls' basketball teams made it through the season. With only three sophomores playing on reserves, the freshman and reserve program was reduced to only two teams. The reserve team had eight freshman and three sophomores.

"We all got along, and we were all friends," said freshman reserve player Christine Dahl.

Though the reserve team normally has more sophomore players, the team still excelled. Their competition was stacked with older girls, but they stepped up to the challenge and took the city title.

"It was exciting beating Southeast and winning the city championship," said freshman reserve player Jami Tomasek.

The freshman team had their work cut out for them,

too. Though they weren't as successful as the reserve team they learned plenty. The first time they faced off with Lin o ln High they lost, but the second match was a different story.

"We came back and beat them," said freshman Chelsea Lowery.

The team stayed positive throughout the season's challenges, without letting each other down.

"We had more faith as the season went on," said freshman Maggie Starkweather.

Despite the unusual ratio of ninth and tenth grade basketball players, the teams were successful, each in different ways. The freshmen stepped up to the challenge , 1d showed that age doesn't mean everything.

In keeping the East tradition, this year 's JV and Varsity boys basketball teams cred it much of their success to their unity and dedi cation. Players agree, though, that they wou ldn't be where they are today without the ir hard work and knowledgeable coaching taff. Much was to be said about junior varsity head coach Kevin Campbell and varsity coac h Ed Mc P h erren.

"They [the coaches] really helped us prep are and taught us a lot, " said varsity player, junior Bran d on Woodhead, "which helped us become successful on the court."

The court wasn't the only place where thi s year's Spartans thrived. The players learn ed a lot about the importance of bal ancing school and sport.

"The coaches cared about each player on an d off the court," said junior JV player Adam Sch lege lmilc h . " They really stressed the impo rtance of school coming first. That's wh at makes us student athletes, not athlete

students."

As always, players were forced to overcome a setback or obstacle here or there, but there was still no stopping them. The boys grew from any challenges and were able to make drastic improvements from the beginning to end of the season.

"We had a lot of changes, which really helped us in playing our best and improving our game," said sophomore JV player Saul Bakewell.

Needless to say, all of the components in creating a nearly flawless team were there.

"We knew when to be serious and when it was time to just have a good time," said sophomore JV player M ike R e mm e nga .

The pieces fell into place, and just as planned the Spartan's JVN boys basketball teams ended their season with yet another storybook ending.

This was the year East's wrestlers and coaches had been hoping for with the first state title since 1970. They knew the title was in their reach when thirteen boys qualified for St4te. The road to the state championship was filled with hard work and strong friendships.

Wrestling is one of the most intense sports there is and with coaches like Marty McCurdy and Kirk Skiles, East's wrestlers definitely felt the heat. The wrestlers had practices that included techniques, running, weight lifting, and bikeriding every day. Wrestlers are always gaining and cutting weight in order to fit their weight-class. To be mentally prepared is almost as tough. Unlike other sports, wrestling is one-on-one physical contact where everyone is watching. Wrestlers know that when they are out on the mats they cannot hide behind their teammates.

"Wrestling is the most physically demanding and intensely personal sport. In wrestling they [opponents] defeat you in a way that doesn't happen in other sports. It is harder to take a loss in wrestling," said Coach McCurdy.

Many wonder why wrestlers keep on wrestling. The answer is the love for the sport and the friendships they build. The team this year was different than past teams. They were more relaxed and outgoing than many previous teams. They were all friends

"They are amazingly close. Their friendships and comradery are far more important than the actual athletic accomplishments they achieve," said McCurdy.

Their friendships especially shined through during state matches.

"I cried during Eric's match because it was so emotional. You beat yourself up for three months with these guys. You want the best for everyone. You feel like you are the one out there ," said junior Tom Rice about senior Eric Trevino's State Championship match.

The team agrees that their coaches also made the team a championship team.

"Coach McCurdy is a rare coach that really truly cares about all of his pupils. Whether you are a freshman or a returning state champ, he treats you the same." said senior Eric Trevino.

The fact that they won state was just icing on the cake.

"He didn't care how we did because we worked like champions all year. It was a privilege to step onto his mat," said junior Atlee Butzirus.

The state championship will always be remembered by wrestlers and coaches as one of the finest moments in their lives.

"It was a well-deserved title for a hard-working team," said Trevino.

She sat around, anticipating a ring, whether it be the phone, or the doorbell. She thought her tryouts went well, but her question now was, "how well?" So far, things were going well ... no phone call, which meant they didn't make it. Then all of a sudden the doorbell rang and off she went for a night of fun and bonding with her new squad.

Being a cheerleader changes the life of many girls. You work long hours, keep players going, entertain the crowd and still have time to do your homework. Even though most of your time is taken up, you still have time for friends and family.

Many parents have been known to free up on their teens punishment once they become a cheerleader, but some get more strict with them so they will focus on their school work and keep on track.

"My parents aHow me to do the same things, they just make restrictions so I don't get behind in school work" said JV cheerleader Caitlin Bals.

The varsity squad won many awards at Camp Okobogi in Iowa. The whole squad was nominated for tr All American Cheerleader. Jamie Boesche, Jessica Wile~ Amy Carey all received the All-American Cheerleader av Amy Carey won Best Cheerleader at the whole camp.

"The excitement of being a cheerleader doesn't e1 after kidnapping," said Bals. "You still have a lot to look forward to throughout the year!"

What do you get when you combine 16 girls full of talent, loud music, a lot of glitter and a crowd of people? The 2001-2002 Lincoln East Apollonaires.

Being an Apollonaire takes a lot of talent and even more commitment. Practice was every day' during 8 th period but sometimes it ran longer. During the summer, the girls often endured two-hour practices twice a day. This commitment made it hard to be involved in other things.

"Dance takes away from a lot of things. It's a huge commitment," said senior Ashley Christensen.

Christensen is also a baton twirler but has sacrificed many practices to be an Apollonaire.

While it requires a lot of commitment, most Apollonaires agree that it is a great experience.

"The hard work is worth it. You get to learn dances, make great friends and perform in front of fellow students," said senior Anna Spalding.

The hard work has paid off in other ways too. The

Apollonaires were the top-ranked dance team in Lincoln receiving first place at the Comhusker State Games and at their dance camp. They also spent the year working on fundraising for a national competition in Florida.

This year brought changes for the Apollonaires. T h ; most obvious was their new uniforms. It was a change tha earned mixed reactions. The uniforms have always been tt same since the Apollonaires began and many former memt 1 were disappointed by the change. To them, the former uniforms were a part of tradition.

This year the group also set out to change the way t were perceived by ·some.

" People think Apollonaires are snotty and we want change that view," said Christensen.

Obvjously, there is more to the Apollonaires than j the crowds and glitter. These 16 extremely committed girl s changing some traditions and living up to others.
