the Epic story

The epic tale unfolds as we tell the story from start to finish.

This is East High's Epic story for the 2003-2004 school year, a tall tale of academic adventures, athletic her oics, and personal journeys. So many exciting things have happened in the past school year that it may s·eem imposs i ble to include them all , but here , we make a valiant effort to do just that. Pull up a chair, enlighten yourself, and open up the Epic story of 2004.

The year was 1974, Richard n resigned from office, Greece and ey were on at the brink of war, West any won the world cup, and East entered its 7th year. By 2004, East School is in its 37th year. Much has ged in 30 years.

The students have come and , many teachers have retired and al new teachers have stepped up e challenge of sending more than usand young people to a better e. Substitute Teacher Anne Forch had many memorable moments the opening of the school; "My memorable moment was when I sked to lead the retiring teachers the field at graduation."

Several students who went to in the 70s are now teaching, like rew and Colleen Ogden to name a There were pep rallies almost every honoring almost every sporting t that was to happen. "School Spirit school activities were more rtant to students back then," said in Salestrom, a retired East High in istrator.

Teachers still deal with the kinds of issues, involving student dance and behavior problems. y clubs and activities that were din the first years of East High still in today, including Student Council Key Club. "East high is one of the schools I've ever seen. When the ol first opened all of the other ols were jealous of East High," said in Salestrom.

Every year, new clubs are ed, new teachers are hired, and a group of students joins the ranks ast High. The school is always ging, and yet everything new can't but draw from past principles and sophies.

Hangouts

It's the dreaded Friday night question: " So, what do you want to do? " All to often , the answer is , " I don't know. What do you want to do?" Ultimately, the steering wheel turns towards Holmes Lake, ' O ' Street, the mall (if it is still open), the movie theater or a friend ' s house. The legal options for fun on a Friday night are endless. One simply has to keep an open and creative mind about such things.

East students have been known to have out-of-the-ordinary we ekends One might find these students at The Mill, Culvers, bowling, or gathered around random playground equipment. Students have also been known to wander over to the UNL fountain where you might see a college guy being pulled on a skateboard behind a bicycle, turning sharply so that the skateboarder flies into the fountain.

No matter where students go, there are sure to be unique habits and hobbies that will get them through. One only has to keep an eye out for them.

Hobbies

Ultimate Frisbee

This past time is growing more popular by the minute. Senior Josh Loy brought his love for the game over from London to share with his friends after playing it in a London park with some natives. Loy says that this game is something that everyone can be good at, and senior Beth Bunde agrees. Bunde stated that although she has had no injuries from playing Ultimate Frisbee, she now has many grass -stained jeans in her closet. One of the highlights 0f the g arne occurs when one team wins and the other team has to do the loser walk. When a team is defeated it is tradition for them to wa lk across the field in shameful defeat while the others celebrate

IIRugby

Midwesterners know more about football than rugby , even though r ugby is the second most popular sport in the world , falling short of soccer. Accord i ng to junior Nick Voigt , most people view rugby players as people who "eat their dead and drink a lot of beer. " These stereotypes are far from true. " I enjoy being able to play a sport with my buddies that is really relaxed even though it is a hard sport ," said senior Charles Baker. He also adds that rugby is , "l ess dangerous , but more violent tha n people think. " In the past few years r ugby has taken small steps into the spotlight of sports in the Midwest. The future may i nclude more visibility and popular ity for this world-renowned sport in Nebraska.

Video

Games

PS2 , X-box, or Game Cube. No matter what your weapon of choice is, everyone has played a video game at some point in\ their life. Senior Ryan Beaver is a Dance Dance Revolution (DOR) expert. " DOR helps mind and body focus together, so I can better developed my quick twitch muscle in my legs for the upcom i ng track season ." Business teacher Brian Kabourek prefers the thrill of NACC Football to DOR. Is he any good? " I want to be humble but when I play I can even make Nebraska win. " Both players make time to play a couple times a week during the school year. However, the summers always hold countless nights of the flickering screen of the television _.

Free -Lance Fighting

No need for a ring. Just grab your gloves and go at it. Guys at East are turning to this past time more and more these days. "The art of boxing is not about winning or losing . " It is the willingness to endure pain for the sake of fun, " said senior Jake Loy. John Matson , also a senior , loves the rush after he has been hit a couple times and then precedes to fire back a few punches of his own. On any given night you might find a group of guys huddled in someone ' s house simply for

•~~fl~ ing someone duke it out wjth the gloves on.

Skateboarding has made its way into the limelight. Slowly build ing an empire of skating and extreme sports all over the world. Whether it is pulling an insane stunt or just breaking your arm in front of your friends, skateboarding has p~oved to be a worthy past t ime.

"The best part about skating is knowing that I' m better than most people, " said senior Chris Donahoo. " I love showing up people like Justin Tomka when I skate. "

Friday and Saturday nights you will find Donahoo and his friends at Lincoln

"This year ' s set was much more difficult t~ build, and people have noticed and recognized for us," said McKee , "We didn't have a set design so the director and I were constantly making changes as we went. "

" The class sizes are larger now," said Dennis Mann , a Biology and Microbiology teacher , " They went from 22-23 students , to 29-30 students." Several of the science classes had to cut some labs that couldn't be replaced due to equipment loss. Even though some things had to go, it won't change the students' education.

"We're flexible, " said Mann. "East students are the best in the city, and they will learn a ton this year. "

now yourself is to go traveling and get to know other people, " said Spanish teacher Steven Pierce.

In language classes students don't just learn a new language, but they also learn about the culture itself.

"I love teaching French and so it lets me get in touch with my culture on a daily basis," said Stephanie Lefler, one

of the two French teachers at East. Language is an art that inspires much passion. East's language teachers feel strongly about what they teach and their goal is to show the students that passion so that their students get a better u~derstanding or the language.

"I love what I do and think that I convey that passion to the students," said Stephanie Lefler.

So the next time you take a language course, think of all the great opportunities you will be able to experience instead of just a college requirement.

Many promising students from all over the world enter East high looking for a chance at higher learning, a chance they may not have had in their home countries. That is what East's ELL program is for: helping to teach students for whom English is not their first language.

"The American educational system has opened many doors that students may not have had in their home countries," said ELL teacher Susan Bauer.

People who aren't ELL students may not understand what it is like moving into a different culture and

"Sometimes we will have an American student come into class and help out," said Susan Bauer.

Vi ions for~ the Future

Whether it's a college crisis, a prob em with a friend, or a schedule change, East's Student Services staff is there to help.

Student Services include attendance, the health office, college and scholarship information, and guidance counselors who are a major part of it. A student's wish can often be counselor's command.

Senior Joey Morrison likes how Student Services gather so much information for East High students.

"It's nice because we have such great counselors. They are very helpful when you need to make schedule changes, " said Morrison

Counselor Brenda Leggiadro enjoys working with so many students throughout the day, and she likes having a variety of things to do.

"I like being around young

people where learning is happening ," said Leggiadro. "It is never the same job in two days; everything is interesting and challenging."

Academics, career planning, and personal issues are three important areas addressed by counseling. Counselors like helping students plan for the future and designating a plan that works well for each individual.

Sophomore Mitch Clark has confidence in the counselors knowing what would be best for the future.

"The counselors help me figure out my classes, and which ones will be best for my future education planning," said Clark.

When it comes to the StudentServices staff, if you give them the time, future success awaits you.

The turning point for Janis Johnson came when she met a student with a serious reading disability. She could see his frustration, but also saw hi s capacity to learn. He was a very capable person , and she wanted to help him . Johnson , a special education teacher, has worked with students with learning disabilities for about twenty-five years.

" I enjoy seeing students improve and be successful in life," said Johnson. " It is also an advantage to having the chance to know individual students quite well so that you can help them in a small-group setting. "

Freshman Myles Grefe, who is involved in the program, is really happy about coming to school everyday.

" It is fun learning things, " said Grefe. "School is totally awesome, and we get to deliver newspapers."

Along with delivering newspapers, Johnson said that special education students also do recycling and many other jobs throughout East gaining pre-job skills and vocational training. Many skilled professionals have come together to help meet these students ' needs and desires. Johnson has really enjoyed working in the program. She loves working with students, in a job that seems to have been a life-changing experience for her, as well as for her students. St B C d L ory y: an ace ee

If you ask upperclassmen what they remember about their first day of high school, you'll hear stories about learning rules, trying to navigate hallways, and worrying about seniors. -If you ask this year's freshmen you'll get a whole different story.

On August 25, the class of '07 began their high school lives with a stress-free first day of school. They got a welcome from the administration, followed by speakers, tours, talks from current students about what to expect, and lunch.

After lunch, the newest Spartans got to follow their schedules in 10minute periods, which proved to be quite helpful.

"The coolest thing was getting to go through the classes," said freshman Logan McClure, "but the day did seem a little strung out."

The freshmen were then trnated to a pep rally, followed by a PAC-sponsored ice cream social. \

Overall, the day went smoothly, and was a great way for the students to get to know what their lives will be like for the next four years.

"The best part was getting the whole staff involved," said counselor Karen Dress, one of the organizers of the day. "All the comments I've heard from students, parents, and staff have been great."

Focusing In On Education

"Focus schools a1Ae a 1Aeally g1Aeat option to students who like to think outs'de of the bo undades given at regula1A high schools.

Lincoln's Focus Schools are a cooperative program between the city of Lincoln and Lincoln Public Schools. These three focus schools offer a more in-depth look at certain fields such as art, science, and technology. Focus students can get a different experience than they would normally get at their regular high school, including a different setting, more hands-on experience, and more independent learning.

A day at the Arts and Humanites . School is much like a day on a college campus with block-style classes and projects in the community. At the beginning of the day some of the students will have studio time where they work on a personal art project.

During his first year at the Arts school junior Chase Einspahr found his experiences to be new and different.

"You get to do things that you wouldn ' t normally get to do at your home high school. There are a lot of out-of-school activities, " said Einspahr.

Sophomore Taryn Overton came Art£; and Humanities to Zoo school looking for new and different experiences.

The Arts and Humanities School is all about hands-on learning. Students get a chance to add their personal touch of creativity into all of their work, which is an important element.

The Rise of lam.t

Take a band that has only been together for a year and a half, add amazing talent and determination for success, and what do you get? The group called Descent, which was named after a computer game. Last year, they opened for a popular band called Blindside, an indicator to all that they were achieving their dreams.

"Opening for Blindside would definitely be my most memorable experience so far in the band because they are famous. and it was a really full show. tt\JiaSan amazing opportunity for us," said senior guitarist R~n. Gartner.

Other members include senior bass guitarist Adam Butler; senior drummer Andrew Tyler; graduate Aaron Hill on vocals, and graduate Alex Wright, guitarist.

"The best part about being in a band is the thril of playing on stage in front of people who like our music, and to see the fans get into it. It gives us a feeling of accomplishment," Butler said.

The band practices anywhere from two to four times a week. That's noting to Tyler. who has been playing drums for nine yea,tS<; and plays in the drum-line at school. Gartner taughtn1mself guitar seven years ago. Butler has played electric bass for six years and the bass cello for even longer. All their effort and h rd work pays off when they get calls asking them to come play shows, instead of them having to call around to Hne up shows themselves.

My favorite show was our first one, at the old Haymarket Hideaway; it was cool seeing the crowd get into our music," Tyler said.

The only thing this band can hope for is to get bigger and better. They have already accomplished more than they had ever hoped for, but they keep setting their dreams even higher for the future.

Lining Their Pockets

Some say education is the best way to get ahead in the busine ss world. Many students though stay one step ahead ot their peers and get a job. Some get a job in the food service industry while others work retail. Some lucky students are able to get an internship with a respectable company or an apprenticeship with a businessperson, getting a ficst hand look at the working world.

"Working part time is a great thing as long as the hours don't interfere with academic success," saia Vicky Johnson, who runs the workstudy program.

It can be tough finding a job you enjoy ut most students try to make the best of their time.

"Sometimes we go and play cards in the back when there is no one to serve,,, said Jun· ior Jerrod Hopkins, a Popeye's employee. Sometimes it is hard balancing the work life and school. Most studen find that it is easier to work on weekends keeping weekday hours to a minimum. Some students get paid to help out in their community, like Senior Tracy Shunkweiler who works with children at St. Marks Church.

"The parents love us and it is really easy helping out the kids," said Shunkweiler. Above all else having a job means making money, and getting a head start in the business world. Whether or not a job is right for you, next time you're sitting around with nothing to do, think about the work experience, and the b ig fat paychec you could be getting.

Future Life: 101

There are so many sharp juniors at East that some have decided to take it to the next level-taking college classes as high-school students.

Juniors Anish Mitra, Yue Wu, and Sasha Zheng are three exceptional students who took course5 at UNL.

" You get college exposure in a high-school setting, and it will make easier transitions to college, " said Zheng. "You get more experience, and it makes you feel like you ' re growing up faster. "

Taking college classes during high school can also be a good asset to hold onto for when the time comes.

" It helps for the future by laying a groundwork of knowledge that ' ll be needed in • college, " said Mitra.

" Grades in college classes are based on a few big assignments rather than a lot of grades, so getting used to that system will be helpful in college. "

Many may wonder how a student's GPA is affected by college courses. Under the new GPA system, college classes may actually lower it.

"Since the new system doesn't count college classes or mentors , it completely ruins my GPA and class rank," said Wu.

Mitra said that although his class rank will suffer, the experience is worth any dent in class rank.

Zheng, Mitra, and Wu all agreed that getting downtown everyday could be inconvenient sometimes, but it is still worth it.

In addition, Zheng mentioned that the college atmosphere and meeting older students were great experiences for the future. Wu agreed and thought that this opportunity would help them later on.

" Because you don ' t have to do the homework or even show up for class, it all depends on discipline," said Wu

" It teaches you not to procrastinate, a valuable lesson in life."

For most of the class of 2006 their sophomore year brings new freedoms and responsibilities. Turning 16 gives them the luxury of being able to do and go wherever they want whenever they want ( with parent approval of course).

The road to freedom isn't always carefree, though. Sophomore Bryant Grubbe will remember the day he went out to lunch for years to come.

"It was the second week of school and I had gone out to luvch," said Grubbe, with a little tinge of red showing in his cheeks. "I got out,0f my car to get my backpack out of the back of my car and the wind blew my doors shut; the worst part was that the car was still running and the doors were locked," said Grubbe, with his cheeks now a deep shade of red. "The worst part was I had to go and tell the security guard and my sister had to go home and get a spare key," recalled Grubbe, the lunch detentions still fresh in his memory.

This year, budget cuts eliminated Driver's Education classes, leaving students with the choice of practicing with their parents or spending around $300 dollars for a driving course.

Sophomore Molly Beedle took Driver's Ed at Southeast Community college and was glad the class also prepared her to deal with car trouble.

"The first week of school, I was turning out of the East student lot and my car died on 'A' Street," said Beedle, with a little laugh.

Few events are as memorable as getting a driver's license. For Easfs sophomore class, earning that license was the first step towards freedom and adulthood. It was a test that they al/wanted to pass.

Keeping the Arts Alive

Over the years, many of East's departments have suffered budget cuts, unwelcome bills, and other things like that. However one part of East has stood strong after all the cuts, which is East's art department.

"We have such strong support from the administration and the parents, and have so many talented students that there is no negative impact," said Lynne Hershey, one of .East's art teachers.

Along with the talented students, the teachers in the art department play a key role in its success. Larry Buller, Donna Wilson , and Lynne Hershey are the teachers of East's art department.

"I truly look forward to coming to school everyday I have great students and couldn't work with anyone better than Buller and Hershey," said Wilson. All of the teachers get along really well, not only at school, but Hershey, and Wilson are known to go shopping and go out to dinner together.

"Sometimes students will see Mrs. Hershey and I at the mall shopping and say to themselves, ' Oh my God they even go shopping together,'" said Wilson.

Among some of East's most talented students is sopho-

Latoya Winroth Ka leigh Winseman

more Shawn Noel. He runs a web site where he hosts video games that he created with a video game application. It takes a creative mind to think up ideas for video games, and an even greater amount of skill with computers to create them. His web site has a fairly large fan base and he even bought his own web address.

"My web site gets about 200 hits a day, and I pay $11 a month to host all of the stuff I've created, so its not such a bad deal," said Noel.

Another promising student is sophomore Kyle Citta, who likes to experiment with all sorts of art styles.

"I do what I like and what comes to mind, I get some of my ideas from other artists and many are my own ideas that just kind of spring into my head," said Citta.

Much of Citta's art takes its own shape as he is drawing it, and it doesn't always come out the way he wants it to.

"I don't care what other people think about my art, if they like it, great, I have fan, if not then its their own choice."

With all of the talented students and excellent teachers how could anything go wrong? For now East's art department is looking forward to a bright future.

Everyone loves Bill Dimon ' s English class especially ninth graders Kristin Neal,Jade Hepburn, and Kaylin Grubaugh.

fJ English teacher, Gretchen Oltman, watches over her class as freshmen Alyssa Sheets, Erin Casey, and Jake Wolf concentrate on a difficult assignment.

I) Freshmen Kylee Vonseggren and Kelsey Nowka put together their interior design project for teacher Jan Beeson's class.

II

Thinking of going out tQ Amigos or Val's, freshmen Larissa Wagner, Meghen Friesen, Elizabeth Chloupek,Jenny Kaser, Ali Bunde, and Matt Didier are stuck at school as they chow down on what the concourse has to offer.

H Freshmen Paige Juhnke, Betsy Nigro, and Alyssa Bakulski take a break from their busy schedules to relax in the commons after lunch.

fd Sophomore Sara Wheeler, freshmen Alisha Parpart, and Sydney Vnzicker discuss an assignment for their second year Spanish class.

II Freshmen Dani Haas, Anthony Dingledine, Kelsey McGerr, and Megan Pope hit the books in the library as they study for their Civics final.

I;) Teacher Chuck Morgan and freshman Allison Schorr look at Central America during World Geography.

Stats

Enter.Ing into the unknown, freshmen faced the new experiences of hlgh school with confidence. By the end of the year they have adjusted to their new home and friends. Atong the way they ran rnto a few minor problems finding classes and getting lost in the crowds. For most, the transition was an easy one.

"High school is a big change from middle school, but it is a lot of fun. I like the change and all the new free9oms that I have now," said freshmen Kayla Bremer.

Friendly faces are everywhere at East and freshmen found it easy to make friends, especially when they became involved in activities and attended school events. As soon as they became involved, they instantly found friends who shared their interests and hobbies.

"I play in band, and I think that band camp really helped me make a lot more friends that are upperclassmen," said freshman Mike Molsen. Freshman Tristan Cawthra agrees.

"I thought that it was easy to make new friends. There are so many helpful people here," Cawthra said.

On top of new friendships, an increase in homewet1<, and different teachers, freshmen also had to prepare themselves for the GOE exams. The Graduation Demonstration Exams may be stressful at first to freshmen, but they soon learned that there was hothing to worry about, especially since they have four years to pass the exams.

After a year of being at the bottom of the • high•school food chain, the freshmen now are one step closer to becoming upperclassmen. One step closer to not ~ing "stupid freshmen," not having to take the GOE and being able to drive! Now that's progress!

Outlets for Creative F.xpr~on

Whether it's singing in a musical at the Lincoln Community Playhouse or singing solos~at church, freshman Allison Schorr has enjoyed many accomplishments in music. She has been singing ever since third grade and has enjoyed every minute of it.

" I like being able to sing different kinds of music in different styles and strengthening my voice though different styles," said Schorr .

Spencer White

Max Whitson

Nathan Wicks

Schorr devotes a lot of time to singing. At East, she is in Echoes where the grou p sings everyday. She also has voice lessons once a week and additional practices for church throughout the week. On her own, she practices for twenty minutes each day.

"I plan to use singing in the future and to be in more musicals and other choirs, " said Schorr. "I may also sing in college. "

Schorr has been in both " Footloose " and "Annie Jr. " at the Playhouse. She said she really enjoyed being in both. • She has also sang many solos at her church.

"Making ' Footloose ' was a big accomplishment for me. Singing solos at church has also been a lot offun," said Schorr.

Schorr has also gone to some music camps, which have helped her improve singing. Clearly singing is her favorite pastime activity. What she really loves is to perform.

" The best part of singing is definitely performing," she said.

"My first semester teaching, two boys decided to pull a finals day prank. About 45 minutes into the period, the room was filled with an unbearable odor, they had set off a stink bomb. I imagine the two boys thought that we'd go outside the rest of the period; the two culprits stayed inside the room, with the door closed, engulfed in the fumes of the stink bomb. "

[Le.ttiiig Themselves Be Heard

Whenever "Singers" is mentioned, one thought usually comes to everyone's mind firstExpressions! But Singers is more than just Expressions. The group also puts together the musical every fall and they sing in competitions year round.

For some, being in Singers is a family affair.

"My sister and brother were both.in Singers," said junior Stephanie Pickerel. "I saw the musicals and Expressions and always loved singing, so I decided to try out and I made it."

With so much to do --between the musical, competitions, and Expressions-it's no wonder this class is team-taught. Doctor Norman Regier and

I Ii Singers because a lot of my L, ., _,, are in it, and we sing a good variety of music."

-Junior Tom Didierto sing, and the people in ,.,. ...,.,,""'""··--are fun, and I want to do Expresssions, duh!"

-Junior Quinn DornBos-

Dottie Smith lead the class. Senior Spencer Smith likes the teaching style that goes along with a team-taught class.

"I think it's great, because we get two different views of singing and two different teachin g styles to learn from," said Smith.

"We sing a combination of classical music for competitions, show tunes for the musical, and contemporary music for Expressions. It's a good variety," said Smith. •

Among all the activities that Singers participate in, both Smith and Pickerel say that their favorite part of the class is, you guessed it, Expressions.

Swit1 Choir

The S-w--in_g-'s the Thing

What do you think of when you hear the words swing choir? You probably get a picture in your head of a bunch of juniors and seniors dancing around and singing. As strange as this sounds that is quite an accurate portrayal of Swing Choir. When you put a snazzy dance routine to a classic upbeat song you get what Swing Choir is all about.

"I've been in it since I was a junior and we have become like a family because we spent so mu.ch time together, " said senior Jason Cole.

As with any close knit group of people they become like a family. But also as with any small group of people they get around to razzling each other and giving each other a hard time. But most of all its about having a good time.

"We practice either after school or together at night, especially to get ready for competitions," said senior Spencer Smith.

Swing Choir has a great mix of talented singers, talented dancers and its all put together with a great score. So show some Spartan spirit the next time they have a competition or performance.

East's Jazziest Musblans

For years getting into jazz band has been the goal of East's talented musicians, it gives them a chance to show off their skills in a friendly env ironment.

The jazz bands at East don't particularly play just jazzy music but it is a smaller group than the normal band with students who are interested in improving their skill. Because the jazz bands are smaller than the normal bands the students get j chance to perform more individually.

"We all hassle each other and we know each other's style really well, " said senior Paul Ewalt.

There are two jazz bands at East, Jazz Band and Blue Note Jazz Band. The regular jazz band is a small group that allows almost anyone in as long as there is room. The Blue Note jazz band is a more private group that requires students to try out. Unlike the normal band, the jazz bands have guitarist's, pianist's, and drummers that play the trap set. Students who are more skilled at these modern instruments get a chance to display their talents this way.

" It is fantabulous, and is a rockin ' good time, muffin!" said senior Trent Haun.

With all of this talent put to a jazzy tune how can you go wrong? The next time you make out Jazz Band to be just another group of band nerds, think again!

Marching Band

!AlvV"ays i:n Step

BAND HORNS ARE UP! These words mark another early morning of marching and music for hundreds of East students. These ded i cated musicians brave all kinds of weather and obstacles i n order to obtain perfection for their performances and compet it i ons. From 100-degree heat on Seacrest Field to 20degi-ee mornings on the practice field , these students feed their hunger for music, competition, fun and friends.

" I love being on the field and knowing that you are helping to make a line or form with almost 200 other people, " said junior trumpet Austin Meter. " Marching band takes things to a new leve l, but is still fun. "

East marching band has always been on a higher leve l than most schools ' bands. Each new year brings more trophies and superior ratings. Excellence has become a tradition.

" The feeling that you get when you go onto the field for awards at competit i ons is awesome, and you can hear everyone in the

band and all the fans cheering ," said senior Cassie Wilson, who i one of three drum majors at East.

If there is one th i ng that band members know how to do besides play music it is how to have fun. Band members love the ir rank parties and outings. Th is proves the fact that: it's not whethe r you win or lose , it ' s if you know how to havefun afterward.

" I remember going to a piccolo party and be i ng able to get t o know everyone outside of band ," sa id junior piccolo Sarah Fossberg . " We broke my friend ' s pool basketball hoop at the party, too. "

Even practices offered the chance for fun.

" We would get into fake fights on the field dur i ng free times , " said sophomore Casey Crosby , about pract i cing on the field.

The marching band has pe r fected the mix of mus i c , fun, an d hard work. The ir memories will last a life time and their accomplishments will go down i n East High ' s history.

For some orchestra is a way to stay involved at East, while for others it is a way to fulfill their love of music.

Freshman Aaron Nicholson has been playing the violin for over five years. Following a two year break, he has returned to find that, even though he loves to play, the time off has t'3:ken away from what he learned.

"I hadn't played for a while, and it was hard to start practicing again because I had forgotten a lot, but I really like to play," _ said Nicholson.

Orchestra gives young musicians a chance to showcase their talents. Efforts throughout the year culminate in concerts for the school and their families.

With all of the time and effort put into their music, those in orchestra are learning valuable lessons about themselves and others.

Wind ensemble is another select group of East musicians who truly are dedicated to music.

Musicians in wind ensemble have to try out to join. The group is comprised of wind instruments and percussion. Like orchestra, wind ensemble performs at concerts as well as entering competitions. Every year they travel to Kansas City in the spring to take part in a regional competition.

"I like the challenge of wind ensemble and the competition trips are a fun way to get to know people," said senior Emmaly Stelk, who plays flute.

With a more focused and challenging atmosphere, wind ensemble is perfect for those hardcore Spartans who love to make beautiful music.

It' s difficult to begin an Epic. It's like twisting through a labyrinth of names and faces until you find yourself standing at the end. Writers, photographers, layout, business, and editors are all essential pieces to the great puzzle that we call our story.

"Yearbook is an awesome activity to be involved with, we get freedom to complete our stories," said senior Garrett Wright . We all work hard throughout the year making sure we don't miss any deadlines. This is sometimes hard to come by, with all of our other schoolwork. We are turning our homework into a tale of the school year, and everyone is involved in this journey.

"The best thing about being on yearbook staff's our advisor ,Jane Holt," said senior Corey Clifford.

Clifford has been on staff for two years, and has earned the position of Photography Editor this year.

"We have a good time working together, and love the staff parties," said seniors Stasi Sattler and Katie Janovec, who handle the business.

Aside from all the hard work, we all need a little break. Yearbook is known to have enchanting parties after we meet our deadlines. Once all are met, we have once final product. The EPIC story of 2004.

Tri-M

High Achiev-ers in 1v1u.sic

Tri-M combines all the benefits of an honors organization with students' love of music. This is the third year that East has hosted a Tri-M chapter. It's not a ~lub for just anyone, though. To get into Tri-M, a student must have a3.0 GPA and an "A" in at least one music clo.ss.

"It's a way for students who excel academically and musically to get together to do service for not only the school, but the community as well," said Tri-M Presi-

dent, senior Johnny Perez.

While it may sound like too much work for some, those who are members ofTri-M enjoy the work they do and the bonds they share with all the other members; says senior Historian Brittany Harris .

"The best part about being in Tri-M is being with all your friends, hanging out and just having fun," Harris said.

Below: Senior Josh Olson, along with NHS advisor Gary Williams, discusses plans concerning the Blood Drive prior to a morning meeting. This year ' s Blood Drive was held on March 3rd Center: Seniors Mikaela Miller, Katie Hans, and Emily Korab talk over plans for a group meeting after school.

National Honor Sooiety

Being in National Honor Society means · being one of the best students in the school. It means holding yourself to a higher standard in the classroom. It means helping the community and having a good time with your friends.

National Honor Society is a nationwide program that began in 1921. It was established to recognize outstanding high school students and promote leadership. Today, NHS still promotes the same qualities that it did when it started. The students involved help out the community in many ways. NHS runs the annual blood drive to help the community blood bank, cleans up Holmes Park, volunteers at the children's • museum, spends time helping the Salvation Army, and sponsors the holiday clothing drive.

Senior Mikaela Miller didn't know what NHS did when she first joined, she had just heard about it at the honors convocation and decided to join. She has since become the president of the East's NHS chapter.

1\/[aking the Grade

"I have to organize meetings, come up with projects, split people up into committees for the projects, get all the information out about what we're doing, and I make and • hang up a lot of the signs for our meetings," said Miller.

This year\officers are Miller , Vice President Katie Hans, and Secretary Emily Korab. Senior NHS member Whitney Rhodes says the officers have really gotten things going this year.

"They've done a great job of leading and getting things organized," says Rhodes. "I haven't heard any complaints about the officer-s this year."

Helping the school and the community may sometimes require a little extra time, but the members of NHS are hard working and willing to do a little more to get the job done, says Miller.

"All of the people in National Honor Society are good kids and proud we are of all of them."

lntramurals is an appealing athletic alternative to many East students. There is less competition and less pressure to succeed, and participants have the luxury of picking who is on their teams.

This year's intramurals teams took the competition to a whole new level, having fun and pushing the limits, viewing- their games as a chance to compete against friends.

The threat of losing face i n front of friends provided enough pressure for some to make the difference in the outcome of the season. Win or lose, though, the athletes had fun.

"I enjoy intramurals a lot because it is more skill driven and the competition is awesome," said junior Mike Johnson, a member of the MFLONAZ & The JV All Stars soccer team.

East intramurals are organized by sponsor Jan Tucker. Offerings include football in the fall, and soccer and basketball in the winter. The games are organized in a round-robin format and the season culminates in a champion tournament.

"I really like the no pressure atmosphere of playing with my friends, and you can pick an awesome team that will hopefully go all the way," said senior Ryan Gartner , confident in his team ALPHA CHRONIC's chances.

With increasing numbers the fight for the intramural championship is becoming ever-more challenging. The fun, though, is a constant.

What do you think of when you hear the · word rugby? Probably a bunch of burly men running around in a field similar to that of a football field, banging into each other as they scramble after an oversized football. Actually, that's not far from the truth. Whatever you picture in your mind, you should give rugby club a try.

"Rugby club is for people who enjoy the sport or have an interest in rugby," senior John Schrad, Club Member.

Rugby is similar to football, with teams

moving the ball across the fjeld to score a point. In rugby, though, the teams move the ball down the field by huddling together and pushing it toward the goal line. Once the ·huddled team has pushed as far as they can go they start moving the ball down the field by running and a series of passes

Guiding the Future

Ambassadors Club plays an important role at East, especially for the new students who come here during the school year. Their mission is to get to know new students and ELL students and also to get out and volunteer with the community.·

Sophomores Erica Graham and Sarah Melecki are both active members of Ambassadors·

"I like how all of my friends are in it, and I also like meeting other people," said Graham. "I enjoy all of the activities."

The club provides a support group for new students so that they can build a group of friends. But that's not all they

do. The club involves doing a lot of community service. Ambassadors Club also sells flowers every spring, which is a lot of fun.

"I like doing community service the most which we do every month," said Melecki. "In December, we went out and bought Christmas gifts for kids, and then we had a party."

For a school with almost 1700 students, many of them new each year, Ambassadors provides an important service. And Graham said that they would love to have new members with fresh ideas to extend the club's impact on the student body even \ more.

Giving back to the community or simply being a part of it is something that a lot of high school students overlook. We tend to forget that there is a wealth of knowledge and culture right at our fingertips. However, Key Club has brought East students in touch with these untapped resources and has shown us what it is to give back, and how much fun we can have in the process.

"This is my first year in Key Club and I was shocked when I saw how much stuff that they do," said junior Sasha Zhang.

Many families remember Key Club's Haunted High event set up to give children a safe alternative to going door to door in order to fill their bo dies with sugar. Children were given the chance to play games in order to get candy.

Key Club alsC? has done a lot of work with Big Brother, Big Sister and members find time to visit retirement centers total k with residents. Reaching out to others who need a friend or someone to talk to is something this club has made a priority.

" I think German Club is fun because it's great learning more about the language outside of the classroom," said junior Ryan Carlson.

German Club members used their knowledge of the language to help other German-speaking students who needed a little assistance.

"This tutoring program helps other kids who may need things explained a little · differently," said junior Karl Merchant.

"Sometimes another perspective helps a lot."

The German exchange students also made this club more interesting by bringing their culture and experiences toit.

"There's more personal connections," said Carlson. "We get to talk about their culture and learn different things."

The

East High's Drama Department i's selective when choosing its two plays each year, and they always draw a crowd that could rival that of Expressions, or Snatraps. Every winter the actors and directors get together to decide on a winter play to perform. The teachers and students put on the play each year take their jobs very seriously and it shows. This year's winter play was "The Girl in the Mirror."

"At first I couldn't get into character and I was getting yelled at a lot, finally one night we were practicing I got so mad I started crying and I used that to help me get into character, and it worked," said sophomore Molly Beedle, who played Susan.

For many senior actors, the winter play was

_ their last performance on the stage at East.

"It didn't quite hit me at all- until the night before the last show started. A lot of us have grown close together, we're almost like a family," said senior Marne Neilson, who played a speaker.

• For many lucky freshmen and sophomores it was their first chance to show off their talent.

Much more~than action goes into a play's preparation. Students help out by doing things like lighting the stage, working on the soundboards, and helping with props. If you've never sat down and enjoyed a play or if you want to get involved but you don't think you have what it takes to be on stage, go to the Drama Department and become a part of the magic.

'Dream

that there are n.o borders.''

The rich culture of Spanish-speaking countries is alive and well at East. In Spanish Club the laid-back atmosphere and strong traditions of these countries are built upon and explored with fascination and curiosity. Many students are drawn to this ideal, and even though some of them do not speak Spanish, they are still welcomed and made a part of the group. French, German,Japanese; it doesn't matter what language they speak because members all share a quest for knowledge and want to learn more about the people around them and the cultures that they come from.

"We provide a fun and outgoing multicultural environment open to all

These people seem to make your dollar bills disappear the minute the smell of cookies hits the air, but DECA is more than just a •school store. DECA also is the largest club at East and growing more popular by the minute.

DECA students go beyond the norm to learn, compete and succeed to their fullest potential.

"Student marketing challenges you to increase your marketing and business knowledge through competitions," said DECA President Senior Cameron O'Brien.

The thrill of competing in something that they love is what brings DECA students across the nation together in district, state, and international competitions.

At each competition there are individual and team events consisting of two people. Among these events are role-playing and a one hundred -question test to evaluate the students' knowledge in business. The reward of passing these events with flying colors? Scholarships, and a chance to travel and make new friends.

These technology enthusiasts know what makes things tick. Maybe not when it comes to clocks, but when it comes to computers, they are king. After regrouping from the absence of seniors that they lost after last year, Microtech got the ball rolling again through regular meetings. Talking about new and old software , hardware, and video g ames and watching movies every now and then takes up most of their agenda but don ' t think that that is all that they do.

Besides meetings after school, Microtech finds time to give back to the community. They put their knowledge to good use, and share it with others. They have been going to senior centers in order to teach residents how to use computers and fix their computers when they are not working properly.

"It is a good way to branch out and meet new people, especially if you want to get involved with computers and other tech stuff, " sa•id senior Vice President Noah Chestnut.

But like any other high school group, Microtech members like to get together and just have fun. They like to play video games or go to the movies as a group to bond and attract new members. The big event this year wasJhe Movie Fest that they held in late winter.

With all of the friendships and knowledge that members have gained throughout the year they look back on their experiences in Microtech as some of the best moments in their high school career.

A Leag-ue or Their Ovv-n.

Speech and Debate is like nothing else at our school; these kids are in a league of their own. Call it a club and you will get shut down. Speech, they said, equals no club. Forensics is sanctioned by the NSAA and compete in the NSAA State Championships ( which means they get the neat medals and trophies like other athletes).

These kids all have special talents and get to flex their muscles in areas other than a basketball court. •

"For me, this is just like football," said senior Johnny Perez . "The only exception is I get to wear some kick-butt suits!"

That's what makes our school's speech and debate team so great. They are very proud of what they've accomplished, both personally and as a team. They love what they're doing!

"I've learned a lot about how to be dedicated to something," said senior Whitney Rhodes. "I love to perform and work with all the people."

The students are also lucky to have such good coaches. Since

Matt Davis has been coaching at East, East has had 59 state qualifiers. Forensics is our school's most successful NSAA activity.

"I've gained a stronger knowledge about myself as an individual," said Perez. "I've learned how I interact with people and of talents I possess that I previously had no idea I ever had."

Speech and Debate students get to perform in different ways. They compete in such things as Dramatic Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, or Student Congress, just to name a few. No matter what these students perform, there is encouragement coming from everyone.

"This sport draws together a diverse group of people," said Rhodes. "I feel blessed to know all these types of people that I feel no other sport can bring together."

So there you have it; Speech and Debate may not require a jock strap or a jersey, but it can give you the same rush as dunking a basketball. These students ar·e talented and deserve all the recognition they get.

We all wish we could move as gracefully as these girls do in the water. Dollfins put forth incredible effort to a sport that takes a lot of training and endurance. Every practice however is worth it for the big show at the end of the year.

"We work everyday all semester for our show in May," said sophomore Kelsie Harper. "It's a lot of hard work, but I love to see the outcome."

Working in the water is not only a great way to exercise your body. It's also a great way to exercise your creativity. Every girl gets to put her ideas into the pool. With that in mind, the girls also get a chance to become a leader in Dollfins. Everyone is eligible to become an officer and can contribute in a number of ways.

No matter what position is held, these girls get along great, and they love what they do.

"We get to meet a lot of nice girls," said Harper. "Plus you getto do something that a lot of people can't do."

Now that's something most of us could vouch for. Dollfins is truly something unique, and every member contributes something special to the group.

Coming to high school for the first time can be very scary but nothing can be as intimidating as trying out for a high school sport. There are new faces, upperclassmen, and you start to question your abilities. Everyone is fighting for the same positions. For those who get past the tryout process they then have to prove themselves on the field.

The Freshmen teams had great success on the field, but that was not matched off the field.

"We were a very compet itive team and not very close or united," said freshman team member David Wadhams. " We never would hang out outside of football. "

For most of the season Wadhams watched the action from

the sidelines due to a torn ACL and MCL. Nevertheless t h e Freshmen teams have the drive to keep the winning streak.

Don't under estimate these girls. The East softball team stepped up to the plate this year, defeating some of the best teams in the state. The Spartan team made it all the way to the semi-finals in state; the farthest East softball has ever been.

"It was pretty cool making it this far," said senior Lauren Schulz. "We proved everyone who doubted us wrong, and I was proud to represent our school."

The best thing about sports at East is everyone's excitement to play the sport they love. Every athlete has passion for the game.

"What makes East softball so great is the

spirit of every player," said freshman Whitney Wells. "This season was a great experience."

One change for the team this year was the new head coach, Greg McLaren.

"He helped us our a lot this year," said Schulz. "McLaren helped us not only individually but as a team; he improved our unity."

Teamwork is important to any sport. Without positive attitude and everyone's best effort, the team won't be a success.

"This year our unity was awesome," said Schulz. "This year was my best year in softball. We got to be the leaders."

Going f'or the Green.

Last year, six of East's Varsity girls golfers went on to college. However, this year's seniors stepped up to the challenge, and the team succeeded admirably. Not only were the seniors striving for success, but the rest of the team did a lot to improve and make good progress.

"Freshman Katie Malone has done much better and improved a lot since the beginning of the season," said senior Whitney Roehrs.

At the season 's end East had little to worry about concerning next year's golf team, although it will lose some talent to

graduation.

"We have some talented freshmen and are going to be losing so many more talented seniors this year," said junior Paige Wiles. 1

Despite graduation, the seniors' love for the sport will not end. This year's talented seniors have high hopes to keep playing golf.

"Hopefully I will play in college. It's sad because if I had another year to work on it, I would get a lot better," said Roehrs.

With the freshmen succeeding so well and the rest of the team striving to improve their game, East's future on the greens looks to be well above par.

The theme for this year ' s Cross Country team was "Taking it to the Next Level. " With upperclassmen stepping up, underclassmen finding their stride , and a new training regimen set up by the coaches , East found success , both on the course, and off.

Freshman Alex Heyl was named Spartan Rookie Runner of the Year after placing 36 t h at the NSAA State Meet in Kearney. He finished 2 nd on the team, behind his older brother, senior Eric Heyl, who finished in 2Yh place. Their performances, combined with solid efforts from John Matson, James McFarland, Brian Dickey , Coner Schultze , and Aaron Stehlik -Spartan state qualifiers-helped East to a 9 t h -place team finish.

said Alex Heyl. " I felt like I was going to throw up. All the pressure just builds up inside of you the whole time. "

Every year , the Boy's Spartan Runner of the Year award, voted on by the team, is given to the best runner for the season. This year ' s cowinners were John Matson and Eric Heyl.

"Winning Spartan Runner of the Year was by far my biggest accomplishme~t this year , because it was voted on by the team, " sa i d Matson. "That means a lot to me because it means I gained my teammates' respect. "

The East girls also had a successful season, finishing 2nd In city and also placed 9 th at State. They were led by seniors Amy Schmidt and Kim Wortmann , who were named co-winners of the

Girl ' s Spartan Runner of the Year award.

"The hardest part was to trust the coaches , because they were trying out a new training sy s · tern, " said Schmidt . "but we had faith in the m and got faster as the season went on. "

While running may not seem like much fu r 1 to many people, the people who run cross-coun try know that it's about more than just the com petition. It's about working as a team and th e comraderie that exists among them.

"The best thing about cross country is bein E able to accomplish things that you didn't knov you could accomplish, " said Schmidt. " In cros : country, whether you fail or succeed, you do i· as a team "

Believe the hype! These athletes came back this year to win some games and make our school proud. All the training and practice hours paid off.

The Varsity team also had some huge wins th i's season, beating one of the school's biggest rivals, Southeast.

"The Southeast game was the ·best," said senior Jordan Pool. "Seeing the huge crowd got us going, and when the fans rushed the court, it was amazing!"

Every player has brought his talents and love of the game to the floor. Senior David Carey really stepped it up on the court this year showing everyone his talent at the Lincoln High game.

"The Lincoln High game was the best for me because I got to get off the bench," said Carey.

The basketball fans stayed loyal to the teams, and did the best to pump the boys up. Junior Alex Lawrence dressed as a cheerleader and countless other supporters have painted themselves blue to show spirit.

"You do something good, and the crowds reaction gets you pumped up," said Carey. "Their energy makes me play better."

When the boys stepped onto the court they come together and put in one hundred percent. Their unity showed in how they played.

"Sometimes our team argues in practice," said junior Mike Palm. "But when we're on the court we become united."

The JV and Varsity teams had agreat season, but it all ended earlier than they had hoped.

Although winning isn ' t everything, most freshmen and reserve basketball players would agree that it means a lot. With both teams being very competitive , many of the players thought that winning their games were the greatest parts.

"The best part has been winning most of our games this season," said sophomore Reserve player Quin Kilgor e

Sophomore Nate Dirks agreed that winning was his favorite part of a 9-3 season. He said that they also were a pretty close team.

1A Season. To R.ememl:>er

"2003 State Runner-Up." That's what last year's trophy reads. Runner-Up. Second Place. One game short.

This year ' s team played hard and practiced even harder with one goal in mind, returning to the finals and, this time, bringing the championship trophy back to East.

The girls played at the top of their game all season long. Ranked second in state for most of the season, their only loss came late in the season to Northeast. Though no longer shooting for a perfect season, they responded by upping their level of play the rest

of the year.

"We realized that we weren ' t unbeatable, " said senior Melissa Hinkley. " It made us work that much harder in practice, and we got even more intense in games ."

Another pair of big games for the girls this season were their two wins over Southeast, who defeated East in the State Finals last year.

" The Southeast games were definitely our biggest wins, because we hadn't beat them in 20-some years, " said senior Jenna Cole .

The JV girls also had a great year, with

the highlight of the season being th eir championship in the holiday tourn ament, after having a slow start to the se ason.

" At the beginning of the season w -: didn ' t really click," said junior Jes sie .a Boe sche. "We had a lot of freshme r , but as the season went on we rea l l, played well together. "

With so much depth and talent, Li rcoln East Girls ' basketball could be force to be reckoned with for years t , > come. Story By:

Takiiig It To The Hoop

Who would have thought an ancient game in which a person throws a ball through a small hoop would have become an international modernday past time? Throughout the years, basketball has seen many great players come and go, Michaeljordan and Julius Irving, but no where have we seen so many great players come and go so quickly as in a high school. That turnaround makes for ever - changing teams and seasons.

"We had a bit of a rough season, but everyone on· the team had a lot of fun and we got along really well,"· said Freshman player freshman Katie Malone. "Hopefully everyone will come back next year."

Despite a tough season the sport is still all about having fun and doing your best. The Reserve girls had a year to practice their game, and a chance to show off what they've learned from the year before. A few lucky fresh-

men also got the chance to join the team for their first time. School sports are full of good times and good memories. Som e of the best times in sports might come from the winning of game s or from the good times between the players and coaches.

"My fondest memory from basketball was when we won the gam f against Papillion by one point, " said Reserve player sophomore Sarah Reed.

The roots of the sport may be thousands of years old but t ht game is fresh within each and every player. So whether you play th e game for a good time, or you play to win, you can always take awa; from it, fond memories and good friends.Just ask the Freshmen an c Reserve players.

All eyes are centered on the floor at halftime as the Apollonaires dance in perfect unison. While the students enjoy watching them, they may not know just how good they really are or how much it really takes to perfect a routine.

"We got first place at the UDA Dance Camp this summer and some girls also got awards like All Star ," said senior Katherine Loeck. "We also got first place at the Corn husker State Games, which was an accomplishment because we got third last year. "

With all of their achievements , the Apollonaires put a lot of commitment and dedication into dancing.

"We have eighth period Apollonaires practice everyday , and then I have about nine hours a week outside of that class," said junior Ashley Hansen.

Like Hansen, most of the Apollonaires take additional dance classes outside of school, which they enjoy.

Hansen and senior Rachel Masters both believe that dancing is a good way to express yourself. Masters added that it's a great way to stay in shape, as well. Loeck said that dancing at school is a form of entertainment at school for the games. Beyond the hard work and awards, this year has been different for the group.

·" We're trying to make a better image of Apollona ires by being more involved," said Masters. Senior Katie Hans said that they are doing community service, and are going beyond just dancing.

"I also like how we seem to work better together this year," said Hans.

" The best part of cheerlead i ng is just cheering ," said Varsity cheerleader junior Kate Sloniker. " I like being at the games and seeing the crowd ' s spirit."

•Their moves on the field are in sync, and their friendships off the field are just as together.

" I like just hanging out with my girls , laughing at the games, and just having fun, " said Varsity cheerleader senior Lauren Reckmeyer. "I love it when there ' s no rules, just fun. "

One big change this year for the cheerleaders

was the new try-out method, which allowed younger girls to make the older squads.

" I' m not really sure how I feel about this , " said JV cheerleader junior Jessica Boesche. "I think that most girls would rather cheer for their grade, I think would mean more to them. "

With the new tryout policy, the sport has become a lot more competitive. But even with the tougher competition, the girls still get along with every squad.

" I get along with the Varsity squad ," said Sloniker. " I thought it would be weird being with older girls, but they accepted me."

There is more to cheerleading than what meets the eye. Cheerleading requires a lot more than jumping and cheering at games; it requires a certain level of dedication to the school and their squad.

• Trying out for the team is the first step to becoming a cheerleader and having an older sibling that is a cheerleader gives those few a leg up on the competition. They could help with memorizing cheers and their originality cheer.

"Having an older sister thats a cheerleader really made me want to be one because she told me how much fun you have, and she really helped me out with my tryouts," said freshman Alisha Parpart who's older sister Tara Parpart is a Varsity cheerleader. Other girls tryout for other reasons

Sophomore Annie Moyer has been a gymnast for many years before becoming a cheerleader. Tumbling is a major part of why she became a cheerleader.

"I love to be a cheerleader because it lets me incorporate my tumbling as well as lifting the team's spirit," said Moyer.

Cheerleaders also attend camps -and competitions to he-Ip improve their dances, cheers, and overall team unity. Team unity is very important when the whole team works together their performances are better.

"Camps help us come together as a team so our cheers are better," said freshman Katie Poppert.

the Eic s ozyends

The epic tale concludes as we've told the story from start to finish.

It is now ti me for the Epic story to conclude. All has been told as the journey twists its way around the labyrinth of East High' s 2003 - 004 school year. Many characters played a role in this tale to make it our own. Everyone's effort is appreciated in giant ways. And, like all Epic tales, the stories we've shared this year will carry on long after our journeys have faded away into memories.
