Change was eve1·ywhe1·e this yea1·. •
It began with the summer Olympics, hosted by China TI1e Oly mpics wern big. Even East had one of its fo1·mer students compete in the games. 1999 East g1·ad Shawn Redhage played fo1· the Austi-alian basketball team, a big change from his Spa 1·tan days on the cou1·t.
Change was close at East, as well. Fo1· sta1·te1·s, just look around. Const1·uction was eve1·ywhe1·e. No front enti-ance anymo1·e. Pa1·t of the cafetei-ia was conve1·ted into classrooms, which were 1·eally cold in the winte1·. Admit it, const1·uction was a pain. People had to watch whe1 ·e they went, they boiled, they froze, and they "enjoyed" the many smells of const1·uction, from hot ta1· to that 1·otten egg smell.
East also got an administrative makeove1·. Principal Sue Cassata, Associate Principal Dave Bell, and Special Ed Coordinator Natalie Wehry a1-i-ived from No1·th Stai · this yea1-, while Associate Principal Liz Miller came from Park Middle School.
"I've enjoyed being he1 ·e at East," Bell said. "TI1e 1·oles I have hem arn a little diffe1·ent than at No1·th Sta i·, but I enjoy it nonetheless."
Speaking of new leade1 ·ship, the United States is now in the hands of a new P1·esident. Bai-ack Obama became the frst Afri can -Amei-ican U.S. prnsident, beating John McCain in Novembe 1 ·. And East p1·edicted it with 5 6 pe1 cent of East students voting fo1· Obama and 3 5 pe1·cent voting fo1· McCain
And 1·emembe1· the hotel bombing in India? East. student Liz Needels's dad came back from India a week befo1·e the catast1·ophe.
"My dad is the globa l instructo1 · of stability, a chemist, basically, for Nova1·tis. He has sta yed in the hotel that was bombed befo1·e," Needels said. "I'm just glad he wasn't the1·e. God was protecting him."
From new movies to new classrooms to the new p1·esident, the1·e's no do ubt that this yea1 · was full of changes.

ABOVE Adam Tucker jumps off the sli de on stage.
Memorizing lines, finding the correct range, and managing time we1 ·e a few of the challenges a talented trio ove1·came to stand front and cente 1 · in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor D1·eamcoat." Senio1·s Nate Rocke, Kylie f'e"terson and Jack Chri6tie made the extra effort to be ready come show time.
"I rea lly like singing and theatre, so the Musical was like a marriage of the two things," said Chrk;tie Christie was the leading man as Joseph , and did his best to create a pe1·sonality fitting of the protagonist.
"Dealing with my voca l range has been tough. Before the show, 1 just pace around, calm down , and get into my character's mood ," said Christie.
In an interesting move, the pa1·t of the Nari·ator was sp lit and given to two thespians that shined in the spotlight. f'eteroon and Rocke met the cha llen ge and created an atmosphere for the pe1formance and the insight needed to get the full meaning of the play
"As the Narrator, I just wanted to tell the story I'd tri ed to be exp1·essive, even a little over expressive Like I wa s teaching it to ch il dren," Rocke said of his pe 1formance "Nerve s weren't that big a deal, I was mo1·e anxious and excited than
nervous. I would pass othe1· people in the h ill from the musical and say 'Oh my god, it's really happening."'
f'eteroon enjo y ed her expede11ce from start to finish. She loves musi c, an..1 believes that the stage is just a fun place to be. Being the other na1-i-ator took som • wo1-k.
"1l1e Nari-ato1· sings a lot, and it was tough trying to figu1·e out who sings what " f'eteroon said. She knows the wo1 k put int , rehea 1·sal was well wo1 th it,though.
"R ehearsal was fun. Inside jokes were made and it was 1·eally fun, but peif orming s bette 1 · because it's like showing off ," f'ete toon said "1l1 ere are a lot of fun peop le he1·c , and all of us are really talented, too."
1l1e musical' s cast wo1·ked well togetler and it reflected on stage. As a spectator, y ou co ul d see the flui d t ransitions an ease with which they worked. Th e work put 1 made it enjoyable and incredib ly successful.
For some people, their home away from home is a pool, a court, or playing the field; but for senio1· Caooie Smith, that home is on the stage. Ever since she was a little • gir l, Smith has been pe1forming skits for her parents, dressi11g up her little sisters and maki11g them play along.
"I think it all started then," Smith said. "I got hooked on the audience ' s app lause."
Smith had one of the lead roles in this year's O11e Act play, "Th e Great Pandemo11ium", a play within a pla y whe1 ·e everything goes wrong. She has been in about 1 5 plays and musicals since she was three yea1 ·s old and was even an extra in the movie "Tl1e Comebacks".
"I think I was along the 5 0 yard li ne," she laughed. "I don't know
if you can see me that well, but it was a lot of fun."
Smith said she still gets ne1·vous before pe1forming She has to listen to special music and get a lot of hugs from he1 · friends around he1 .
For some people like Smith, getting ne1vous before a show is the 'norm , but for sophomore Tad Hunt, getting ne1vous is never a p1·oblem fol - him.
"Su1·e it's exciting and the a(.,kenaline starts pumping, but I don't get ne1vous. It's kind of weird actually, seeing eve1·yone around me feeling ne1vous and I feel rea .,1 y and excited to sta1-t." Hunt said.
''I'm really looking foward to the one act beca use when I'm up on stage in front of a11 autlience, I feel at hom e. "
For sophomore twins Amy and Ben Fi6Cher, the stage is also theil - temptation; but foi-ve1·y different 1·easons than fo- Hunt or Smith. Being in tech, 01· being a "techie" as is their beloved 11ickname, is pe1fect-fo1-the twins.
Both Fi6Chers said they ha"1 wanted to do tech their freshman yea, - Tl1ey grew up lea, ·ning how to build things and grew to love having th 0t power. Tl1ey each wanted to Join tech their freshman year but did not have enough time to commit. But this year was different. Both did tech for the musical and for "Tl1e Great Pa11demonium".
"Tl1 e best pa1·t about doing tech is watching what you built be the g1·ounds to a successfu l show. Just seei11g the sets a~d seeing what they look like, and seeing how they bdng the whole show together makes it all worth it." Amy said.

While East aboun ds with academic and athletic capability, a myriad of othe1A talent walks the halls of ou1A high school. Each yea1 A , Spartans get to rende1A their talents onstage in Snat1Aaps.
A cornucopia of talents was on display this yea1\ including musical acts, slam poet1 A y and inte1Apretive dances. And, to intmduce each pe1fo1Amance we1Ae MCs Kelsey Reifert, Heather Boone, Adam Tucker, and Hannah Bashford.
Sophomo1Ae Adam Slyter, a first time Snatrnps pe1f orme1 A , participated in two acts this yea1A. He played the guita1 Afo1A a Ryan Stewart original and pa1 Aticipated in an acoustic pe1f 01 Amance of the song "Rainbow" with sophomore Adam Alexander. Slyter has bc:en playing the guitar fo1 Aeight years, since his g1 Aandmothe1A gave him his frst guitar as a child.
'~Snatrnps is a g1Aeat way fo1A young musicians without a lot of pe1fo1 Aming experience to sta1At perfotming," said Slyter.
Junior Natalie Brening, who is also new to Snat1 Aaps, sang "Keep B1Aeathing" in a duet with junio1 A Cassie Nelson. Brening has been singing since she was a child and was ecstatic to sha1Ae her talent.
"Snatrnps is great because East is extremely talented in many areas and we are all so fantastical, it's ove1whelming," said Brening.
East Science teachers Dan Shafer and Mrs. Schommer, along with administrato1 A , Mr. Mann, sha1Aed • their talented cheedeading skills and interp1Aetive dance expe1Atise.
"After many months of se1 Aious preparntion an , wo1Aking ve1 A y ha1Ad to hone ou1A skills as Science Olympiad cheedeade1As, we felt it app1Aopriate to demonstrate these skills to the school," said Shafer.
Schomm~r editej skits from Satu1Aday Night Live, which the dynamic trio pe1fo1Amed for the scho c , along with an interp1Aetive dance to "Wei1Ad Al" Yankovic' s "White and Ne1Ady".
"Tl1e fact that we are white and ne1Ady helped," said Shafer.
Shafer believes this yea1 A's pe1formance 1Aeachel the peak of ou1A abilities at East, and the shows to come should be titled "Refahs" (ShafoA spelled backwa1Ads) instead, in honor of his and his fellow teachen: • pe1formance.
Many audience membe1As exp1Aessed thei1 A1Aeve1 Aence for this yea1 A's show.
"Mr. Mann smashing the guita1 Awas awesome! I hope he does that every year!" said senior Dan Burnett.

Snat1Aaps is an 01Aiginal show to East and a t1Aad i tion of our school. Amidst the changes within our builing, staff, and student body, Snat1Aaps is a t1Aaditio n that will always 1Aemain constant.

Imagine planning one of the school's biggest events, everything from buying gifts to planning a DJ, and, after all of that, wearing the same c,Aown you bought. 1l1is is ex; actly what happened to senior Hannah f'otter. f'otter was in charge of planning the Homecoming dance, and, at the end of the dance, was crowned queen.
"I really wasn't expecting to be voted as a candidate fo,A Homecoming queen, so 1 was prntty su1Trised, but at the same time excited," said Potter.
Afte1A an amazing and well-planned dance, f'otter 1Aeceiv ed some even better news.
"l didn't 1Aeally know what to think when 1found out that 1 was homecoming queen," f'otter 1Aecalls. "Afte1A a long, chaotic day planning the dance, it just felt great to get to be the queen at the end of all of it."
As head of the Home cor ling planning committee, f'o-tter had to make sw·e that eve1Aything would go and had a lot of small tasks to do, as well as buying the supplies fo1A Homecoming • royalty. "I neve1A 1Aeally thought that I would be wearing this same crown wh e 1 I first bought it, so it was p1Aetty wei1Ad when 1 was the one to wear it" said f'otter, who sha1Aed the honors with King Brian Sunderman.
1l1is yea1A' s Homecoming was one of the best East ha £ had in yea1As, as well as one of the most unique. "Pe1fect" is how f'otter describes it.
"All of the othe1A candidates we1Ae great," f'otter said, "It is such an hono,A not only to be crowned queen, but to get to make this Homecoming possible."

Now the high school years have quickly come to an end, and college will soon begin. Senio1·s admit the1·e a1·e some things about high school that they definitely won't miss. Tl1e IDs, of course, a1·e a given.
"I won't miss lanyards and teache1·s taking away your phone," said Katie Massey.
"T11e school day is p1·etty long," added Pete1· Slawinski.
But senio1·s also 1·ealize that this year consisted of a lot of "last times."
"My safe, comfo1·table highschool lifestyle is ticking away until it all abruptly changes," said ..Jamison Schuste1·. "T11e1·e am still a dozen diffei·ent fun classes I want to take."
"Eve1·ything's fo1 · the last time," said Toni Longoda. "It's ou1· last year, so we should make °the best of it"
pr edate about life at st High
''I'm going to mi ss seeing my friends all the time," said Austin Pete1·son. Massey, Schustei- and Longoda ag1·eed.
"I'm also going to miss the school · cookies," added Massey.
"I'm going to miss the school spidt at football games and at swim meets," said Slawinski.
Even though it was their last yea1 · at East, senio1·s enjoyed being the oldest in the school. Austin Pete1 ·son identified that as his favodte pa1·t about senio1· yea1 ·
As fo1· next year? East senio1·s will expedence a new sense of free- • dom, whethe1 · they opted to 1·emain close to home 01· to ventu1·e out of Neb1 ·aska.
A wo1·d to the younge1· Spa1·tans: "Have fun in high school and make the best of it!" said Longo1-ia.
High school is an impo1·tant part of one's life. It is when you get a chance to grow a11d at the same time leam and of all the fou1· years, junio1· year in high school for some of us can be one of the most difficult and ove1whelming.
"I'm glaL,1 that I'm finally a jU11io1·, but junior year has been much harder than freshman and sophomo1·e," said junior Tom Seewald.
Ju11ior yea1· i11 high school is the most important year, because it is the year when you have to wo1 k extra hard to impress colleges, take your ACT and or SAT test, and start figuring out where you're going to go and what you'1·e going to do right after you finish high school.
"I haven't taken my ACT yet, but I'm pla11ning to take it soon, sometime in my junior year if I can , "said junior Matthew Borland. "I haven't visited any colleges yet either, but I have a few choices in mind of whe1·e I might want to go."
School is a major part of a student's life, and it gets even more ove1whelming as a junio1·. But everyone has something they do to get away from school. Both Seewald anc..-1 Borland a ree :17e111.1i11g time

with friends in one of the best ways to get away from school and to just have fun. Borland, along with many othe1· pr,ople, al~o fi11d spo1·ts as a way out fo m school.
"Whe11 you play l7 aseball or a11y spo1,, all you really thi11k about is what's goin_ on right 110w in this moment, a11d 11ot what has happened, or what will happe11, which helps me out a lot and makes it easier," said Borland.
Junio1 · year can be stressful for soi · e people more tha11 others. "If you actual! / try and 11ot be lazy, and try to 01·ganizand plan ahead, it makes things a lot easier," said Seewald, "high school really isn't that bad, so the1 ·e' s no need to m 11 through all of it."
For both Seewald and Borland, theii junior year is much harder tha11 their fir f ttwo years, but at the same time it is o ,e step closer to senior year, and eve11 clo e )r to finally graduating.
"1l1is year has been a little more difficult," said Seewald, "but I enjoy fin e ly being an uppe1·classmen now, and I'm clo0 ~ r to graduating."

Some even got a late1 · cu1f ew, like David Cook. Fo1· othe1·s, they liked not having to ponde1· the futu1·e just yet.
"Tl1e pressure f 01· college hasn't sta1·ted, so you can still take time to enjoy the high-school
expe1·ience," said 8izabeth Potter. Tl1e1 ·e weI ·e some downsides, though. S.ophomores aI e still underclassmen, so they don't getas many pdvileges. Fo1· instance, they' I·e not supposed to go out to lunch.
"It kind of sucks still being aI1 unde1·classman," said Potter. Qiu ag1·eed.
"Olde1· people still pick on you sometimes," he said.
"Tl1 e classes are ha1·der, and the1·e' s moI·e homewo1 k," ag1·eed Cook.
"I have a crapload of homewo1 ·k, especially in Chemist1·y and AP Wodd Histo1y" said Qiu.
"Geomet1·y is pi-etty ha1·d compa 1·ed to Algebra," added Kinberg. "I have a lot of homewo1·k in that class."
Still, the benefits of sophomoI·e year cleady outweigh the difficulties. Afte1 · all, what can top tuming 16 and getting youI · license?

We've all hea1·d the g1·ue- _ some tales about that dreaded frst yea1· of high school: the infamous "F1·eshman Fdday," big bad Jocks d1·opping miniature, book-laden freshmen into ti-ash cans, detestab le cafete 1·ia food with a side of hail · , and bad- tempe1 ed teache1 s dete1 ·mined to 1·uin the hopes and d1·eams of eve1·y young high school student. But how much of this is 1eally true; what is fact and what is fiction ?
"I was told that the uppe1·classmen wem 1·eally mean, that they would stuff freshman boys into t1·ash cans and that 011 the last day of school, they would change all the locks on the freshman locke1·s so that we couldn't open them," said freshman
Jena Carrier.
Luckily fo1· Carrier, the e 1·umo1·s pmved false, at lea e for now. I guess she 'll have to wait until the last day o school to see if that 1·umor , t1·ue.
"I' d hea1·d that the senio1·s would put freshmen in t 1 locke1 s, but I didn't believe it because I had a lot of senio1 · friends," said freshman Jordan Tan. "I'd also hea1 ·d we g(. : a lot mo1·e freedom."
Tan was wo1-i-ied and anxious about his frst day c :- f East, but was glad the rum c • about freedom was accurnt, Eve1·yone hears a ton 0 -1 positive and negative 1umo n beforn that d1 ·eaded frst day of high school and, as they quick ly learn, most of ii is just that, hearsay.

In a yea1 Aof so much change, East's long- time teache1 As still see the same cha1Aacteristics and challenges in East's students.
"I don't think the1Ae a1Ae diffe1Aences in kids today compa1Aed to when I frst sta1Ated teaching. I have always tried to get to know my students and develop a relationship with them and know them as a pe1Ason," said Jan Tucker, "1l1at is who I am and students relate and lea1 An best when they know you ca1Ae about them as a pe1Ason."
Tucker has been teaching at East fo1A 35 yea1As. She feels that both staff and students have been emb1Aacing this yea1 A's changes well.
"I think the students have adjusted nicely to renovations as info1Amation has been p1Aesented to them i11 a timely fashion. Ou1A new administrative staff is ve1Ay student friendly and 1Aeally ca1Ae about students' lea1Aning." said Tucker.
Some faculty, like Joe Hovorka, a1Ae fo1Ame1A Spartans themselves. So what makes students come back?
"I was tirnd of driving an hou1A a day to teach at small schools, and was hoping to get into LPS. East happened to have an opening. Since then, I have found that East offe1As the best experience of any school in Lincoln," he said.

He was minding his own business on the field when he got blocked by an opponent and thrown ove1 · his back. He fell to the ground, his legs twisted in pain. Varsity football playe1· senior Matt Anderoon vaguely 1·emembers being can ied off the field and driven home from the Kearney game.
Anderoon was taken to the docto1·, who determined he had a spiral fracture to his fibula and a high ankle sprain. He unde1went surge1y in which three screws were placed in his fibula and a 1od thi-augh his bone.
"I wasn't too worried about the SU1 gery. It was just kind of painful," Anderoon said.
Senior varsity player Ty Weihe also experienced injuries during the season. During the second day of twoa-day practices, Weihe tore his meniscus and fractured his tibia He was told he couldn't play fol · six weeks.
"I had dedicated my summer to football and wo1-ked 1·eally ha1 d; it was motivation to get back as soon as possible," Weihe said.
Beyond injuries, the Varsity squad faced othe1· hardships as well. 11,e small size of the Varsity team made it difficult fol· all of the players.
"We have a small team, s o the1·e a1 e not enough of Up to go a1·ound We have to wo1-k a lot ha1·der," said Anderoon.

"It' s hard to keep people motivated, but if we stay excited, have passion for what we're doing, and p1actice hard, we'll do well," said JV/ Varsity playe1 · &ic Rice.
1l1e JV football team fa ced equally diffi cult ci1·cumstances. Many of the players were inju1 ed during the season, with several suffering concussions, which placed a team member out for at least a week. 11,e JV team was also small in numbers, whi ch made losing team members even tougher.

"You never know what you're going to like or not like, what you're going to be good at. Just try it and if it's not for you, then try something else. You'll find something eventually" Freshman Spencer Randazzo.
For sophomore Jon Needels, this year was big It was his first yea, · as quarte,·back for the East Reserve football team and he loved it.
"Peop le expect me to play well, make good throws and make good decisions fol· the whole team. I try to fulfill their expectations every game I push myse lf to play well," Needels said.
heshman defensive lineman Spencer Randazzo unde1 ·stood those expectations
"All four of my brothe1 s played footba ll, so I'm expected to be pe 1form at a high level and ma ke a lot of tackles," Randazzo said. "H aving all my brothe1·s play 1·eally turned me int,o the football player I am now. It's hard work playing to everyone's expectations, but I fee l that it's very rewa1·ding."
"Practicing everyday really takes a toll 011 your body, but we have fun." said freshman fullback Aaron Bohl.
He 1·ecalled when the Freshman team played the Reserves in a scrimmage and the ball was thrown to Jared Nelson. ll1e whistle was blown ,
stopping the play, but Neloon, who didn't hear the whistle, sprinted the whole ninety yards to the end zone.
"We laughed about that one the whole day," Bohl said.
Sophomore Trill Reynoldj;3, a Boys Town transfer, had to adj ust to a new program here at East
"At Boys Town I was on Va1·sity , but hem I'm on Reserves. But the guys on the team he1 e a1 e really fun to be around , not to mention talented," Reynolds said Randazzo ag, eed that the Freshman team was talented.
"ll1 e team is smaller than I thought it would be but it 1·eally lets you know where the talent is," he said.
Randazzo would rncommend the experience to anyone.
"If I could give any advice to anyone wanting to go out for a sport," Randazzo said, "it would be that if you'1 e afraid to go out for sports, don 't be. You never know what you'1 ·e going to lik e or not lik e, or what you're going to be good at Just try it, and if it's not for you, then try something else. You'll find something eventually ."

Support, dedication, and ha1·d work. T11ese wo1·ds describe the success of East ' s JV and Varsity volleyball teams this year. Win or lose, the girls proved that it's all about working together to put forth the best effort in each game.
"We depend on each other," said Varsity playe1· Maggie Novak, a junior. "We always try to keep wo 1·king hard in prnctices and games, whateve1· the score "
Novak , senior Kelsey Newman, and sophomore Kelly Bath ag1·ee that the Southwest game was the most exciting th is year fo· the Varsity team
" We play ed rea lly wel l," said Bath "The energy and intensity was 1·eall y high " East finished them off in 3 matches.
"It's p1·etty exciting when you sweep your rival," said Newman
For the JV team , freshman Claire Holmquist thought the Pius X game was the most exciting "T11ey're a really good team, and we held ou1· own against them," she said "Even though we lost, we
still played our ha1·dest." Tl1e JV team found plenty of good competition this season.
"1l1e Lincoln High game was exciting too," said fo·eign student Alissa Hobbs, a junio1·: "We played pretty well against them, and won It was a fun game."
A major cha ll enge for both teams was fighting injuries. Many were close calls, but others were season enders, like senio1· Courtney Russell' s broken foot and junio 1 · Lindsey Von Seggern's ton1 ACL Evei-yone stepped up , thoug h, when injuries got in the way .
"Kelly Bath stepped in for Nat when she ro ll ed her ankle. She rea ll y stepped it up and played hard when we needed he1·," said Novak.
Tl1e Spa 1·tans wi ll have to step up next season , as well, since Coach Oehlerklng 1·etii·ed this yea 1 ·, aft er being East's on ly head volleyba ll coach.
" It is sad that he's going but good to know he'll sti ll be cheering on the Spa 1·tans," said senio1· Courtney Russell.

"Everyone has been waiting a while for a chance play on the higher level teams," said Amber Harrison, "and I think if we keep trying hard we can be even better next year."
Tl1e transition from middle school to high school can be a difficult one, but that hasn't stopped the Freshman Volleyball team from stepping up to the challenge.
"High-school volleyball is a bit diffeiAent from before, and a little more difficult, but I'm liking it a lot," said freshman Libby Massey." It's a great expedence and ~,have met a lot of new people too.
Tl1e Freshman Volleyball team played very well this year _ with a 1 0- 5 reco1 Ad, and hopes of taking City.
"I think we have a prntty good chance this year," said Massey, "We've been playing good all yeaIA, and we just need to keep it up." Tl1ese young playffs a1Aen't the only ones playing hard.
"Tl1e F1 Aeshman team is a 1Aeally close and strong team, and so is the Reserve team," said IAeserve playe1A Amber Harrison.
Tl1e Reserve team may not have the same chance as the Freshmen but the team still played well. Tl1e Reserve team's record this yeaIA was 9- 7,
"I think that we still have a good chance at city," said Harrison.
Tl1ese young playe1 A s hope East will be able to keep -up with tradition with volleyball in the next few yeaIAs.
"I can't wait for next year," said Massey "Hopefully we will be bette1A next year and we can keep up the good work."
As excited as the freshmen were to get to finally play volleyball fo Ahigh school, the Rese1ve team is just as excited to get to play on the JV and Va1Asity teams next yeaI·.
"Eve1 Ayone has been waitirig a while foi Aa chance play on the higher level teams," said Harrison, "and I think if we keep t1 Aying hard we can be even bette1A next yea1A."

Four bases, three strikes, two teams, one winner. It's not just a game, but a way of life. Softball, this is my destiny.
Every athlete knows that there are times when everything goes dght fol· theii · team. It is usually because of the hard work they put in to the p1·actices, but playe1·s can't help being supe1 stitious when it comes down to winning and losing.
East's Varsity Softball team, which ended its season 2 1 - 1 3 , was a ha1·d-working team in practice and in games. Howeve1 , most of players were rupe1 ·stitious when it came to the season.
"Yes, I definitely am supe1 ·stitious," senior Kara Scheel said. "I always wear the same headband at games, but if we lose, I'll change it fol· the next
F1 ·eshman Va1·sity playe1· Alec Schrad, however, was ca lm when it came to the games.
"I'm not really supe1·stitious, but there are some gids on the team that go all out," said Schrad. "Alyoo (Menghini) weaI·s
the same headband to eveI·y game, and I don't think she ever washes it!"

When the1Ae is a team of mostly senio1As, it can only mean one thing, the team is going to have to 1Aebuild next yea1A. That was the case fo1A Boy's Varsity Basketball, this year. Considering that most of the Varsity team will be graduating, the JV team has its work cut out fo1Ait,
"We'll need some leaders. We have only two returning va1Asity playe1As," said junior Cente1A Dylan Schott. 1l1e team will have to put in a lot of time and effo1At to be able to 1Aeplace the senio1As.
"Next year they'll have to step up, even sophomores," said senior Fo1wa1Ad Reece Schwartz. Seems the JV' s a1Ae up to that challenge.
"The goal of the JV team is to play at the va1Asity level and Coacl1 Campbell is doing a good Job at preparing us," said sophomore JV player Aaron Matzke. "We have to work as a team and build our team chemistry so we'll be ready for next year." For them, it will be a year-round challenge.
"We're going to have to work ha1Ad in the off-season because we have big shoes to fill next year," saicl Jordan Newman , a sophomore Varnity player. Through ha1Ad work and p1Aactice, the 1Aeturning players and the JV team are confident that they will be able to successfully wo1Ak togethe1A to be a g1Aeat Varsity team next year.

In basketball, we see the competitors, the athleticism, and the physical.dema11ds of the game, but the true powe1A lies in the mind. It's here you that a player can outlast, out wo1Ak, and out think. 1l1is is whe1Ae the coac h comes in.
F1Aeshman Coach Derek Hack and Reserve Coach Joe Hovorka are two different coaches with common goals: make their playe1As better, and make the prog1Aam better. 1l1ey use their own style of coaching to 1Aeac h these goals, and both seem efficient in theiiA own ways.
"He (Hack) is a lot of fun. He keeps us in good shape with conditioning and helps develop ou1A skills," said Freshman Matt Cmuch. It seems that fell ow freshman teammate Jack Sunderman agrees.
"He has helped me to become a better shooter. He's also easy to get along with, mostly because he's a Duke fan," Sunderman said. So you could say Coach Hack is a tough but friendly coach, not afraid to make them
ru11, but still a friend at the end of the day. Hovo1 Aka' s got some fans as well.
"Coach Hovo1fa is a sweet coach. He's helped my form shooting and makes me feel like an important pa1At of the East High athletic society when I'm on this team," said sophomore Reserve playe1A Chad Hall. "He's 1Aeally a good guy."
"1l1is season has been pretty fruskating in terms of ou1A 1Aecord, but Coach is pretty laid back and patient with us, which is always good," said Andrew Linafelter. Both coaches p1Aove themselves full of character when commai::iding thei1A tmops, but know how to wo1 A k with their players.
"1l1e1Ae' s so much to be done with these players. 1l1is is just the beginning of theiiA high school career, and it's ou1A Job to tap into their potential and get them 1Aead foiA the next level," said Coach Hack. "It's a 1Ao lle1 Acoaster dde with theses guys, but it's fun and I 1Aeally enjoy it."

"W1·estling's a fun spo1·t. If you ever think about coming out, you should." -And1·ew Pete1·son
Eve1· wonder what it takes to compete in a spo1·t that's completely differnnt from all the others? Spartan w1·estlers have proven that hard wo1·k, dedication, and close friendships all work toward a successful season.
1l1e w1·estle1·s undergo some intense trnining during the off-season.
Most people don't 1·ealize how physically demanding the sport is.
"Some of us go to a few camps dudng the summer," said sophomo1 e Varnity wrestle, · Andrew f'eterson.
"We do a lot of conditioning, mainly lifting and sprint wo1·kouts."
All that ha1·d wo1·k paid off this yea1·. 1l1e Spartan JV and Va1·sity wrestling teams both had successful seasons this year.
"We won the City meet," said senio1· Varsity wrestler Garrett Bowmaster. "We've done prntty well this yea1· but we've had a lot of injuries."
"Whenever someone gets injUl ·ed, we have to move people around to fill their spots," said junior JV wrestler Logan f'ohlmann. "But both the JV and Varsity teams were still
successful this season."
"We've done well fo1· ou1· numbers," added f'eterson.
Beyond the wins, the friendships were high points, too.
"1l1ere's so many grnat things about wrestling, but I think the best part is hanging out with the team du1·ing practices and meets," said Pohlmann.
"You get to hang out with all you1 · close friends and make a lot of new ones, too," added Peterson.
As fo · the worst part, the wrestlers ag1·eed it was the intense practices. Bowmaste1 · sad practices coulx be about 3 hou1·s long. Spartan Days arn ped1afis the most physically demanding.
"On Spa1·tan Days we do over an hour of live wrestling, which is rnally hard," said f'eterson.
1l1e JV and Vai-sity teams have proven that such intense training pays off both befoi·e and dudng the 1·egular season.
"W1·estling's a fun spo1·t," said f'eterson. "If you ever think about coming out, you should!"

Going into the season , the East swim t eam had its hands full. Several team leade1·s had graduated, but they left the team in very capab le hands. 1liis year's swimmers proved themselves willing to meet the challenge of lifting up ou1· team once more, and holding the 1·eins was coach Greg Fleming.
One of the cornerstones of any team is the coach, and East's boys swim team has a jewel. Ce lebrating his silver a11nive1 sary with East, coach Fleming has dedicated 2 5 years to the East program and is doing an outstanding job a long the way. Just talking with him about it gives off a sense of accomplishment radiating from his humble smile.
"I 1·eally enjoy working with kids," said Fleming. "I love seeing kids work together to achieve their goals and watching them develop as swimmers and young adults. Seeing them get excited over best times, pushing in that last event and pe1f 01·ming to win."

East's hockey team is diff e1·ent from the othe1· spo1·ts teams in many ways.
Hockey is a club spo1·t for one, so they don't have the same school suppo1·t as othe1· East teams.
"Hockey is diffe1·ent because we only p1·actice once a week. It's ha1 ·d to get ice time," said Junio1 · Nick Hart. "Most spo1·ts teams p1 ·actice eveI ·y day."
The team plays most of its games in Omaha because they play on a league based in Omaha. The team also has to come up with its
own funding, and playe1·s have t < supply theii· own equipment. Tl1 e have some fundi-aisei-s to eaI·n money fo1 · traveling and ice tim e
Many of the players on t 1e team have been playing togeth e , on othe1· teams, fo1· several ye a- s. Like athletes in othe1· sports, t i e hockey team membe1·s benefit f1 Jm all the yeaI ·s of playing the spoI ·· •. togethe1 ·
"Playing on this team is Ir ce because all the guys on the tea n have played togethe1 · fo1· awhile ?0 we all 1eally know each othe1 ," sad Junio1 · Tim Dornbos.
East is well known fo· its academic and athletic achievements, but East is 1110,·e than ACT sC01·es, and varsity victories. East, like many schools has an int1 ·amu1·als p1·ogram. lntramurals is a strong prngram, one that has been part of East for quite some time, and draws a large number of students.
"It's mo1·e fun when you get to make your own teams, and get to play with other people who you know at the same time," said Junior Cole Kilgore.
Kilgore, who played on the F1·eshma11 basketball two years ago, • played both intramural flag football and basketball his sophomo1·e and junior year, instead of playing on the East team. Kilgore still plays for the va1·sity soccer team, which he has been on since his freshman year.
"I've been playing soccer for a very long time, and it is one of my favorite sports which I take mo1·e seriously, so I decided to play for the
East team because I wanted to play mo1·e competitively," said Kilgore.
Junior Jimmy Wang also did something very simila1·. Wang played on the Rese1ve Football team at East for the first time his sophomore year after t1·ansferring schools to East, but decided not to play on the East team again his junior yea,·.
"I thought I'd play intramural football this yea1 · because it is a little less serious and less competitive, and it would be fun to play on a team with other people you know, and you get to know the people you play against," said Wang.
Both Kilgore and Wang say that they are planning to continue playing intrnmu1·als, but still might want to play on the East team as well. lntramurals offers East students a fun alternative to the mo1·e intense wodd of competitive athletics.

Eve1~ybody has heard of East's va1·sity spo1·ts teams. But one team most people may not have heard of is East's Special Olympics Team.
"We started a Spartan Special Olympics Team because we dit--in't have a team di1~ectly connected to East. Southwest had a team, and some of my stu'--ients wanted to compete against our schoo l' s rivals. So we started the Special Olympics Team and have competed in basketball, a little bit in tennis, and this year we have even added bowling to our spo1·ts," said Laurie Witters- Churchill, who is a coach fo1· the East Special Olympics Team, as well as the team's sponsor.
Chu 1·cl1ill' s husband, Mark, and daug hte1 ~ , Maesen, help coach. "My family has really enjoyed coaching these students. I have had many of these students in my classes, but this is a different oppo1·tunity for them to showcase their athletic talents and learn to work together as a team," said Ms. Churchill.
Remi Rotthaus also wo1·ks with the team, and really enjo y s coac hin g fo- the frst time.
"I knew Ms. Churchill, and I have
experience bowling so I thought th a. it woul'-1 be a good experience helping out the Special Olympics Team, ' said Rotthaus, "Its ve1·y fun, beca u there is a strong connectio11 betw e 11 the playe1·s and the coaches, and it :i all just about having fun."
Freshman Paul Safarik was on both the Special Olympic' s basket b 1 and bowling teams this yea1 · for th first time, and says it won't be th last time he plays fo - them.
"I like hanging out with all the other players and meeting new pe q e, and getting to play at the same time," sa id Safarik.
Senior Nicholas Rose has bee 1 on the team all four years he's been a1 East and is looking foward to compete this y ear.
"I love being on the basketball team because I've made friends wit all the teammates and we worked hard enough to even win State lasi year," said Rose.
"I think we have a good chance ,f winning, but I don't mind if we lose," Rose added. "It is just so much fun being on the team, that winning jus • . doesn't seem as important."
Everyone talks about how, when they pa1·ticipate in a sport, the team is almost like family. On the othe1· hand, sometimes teammates 1·eally a1·e family. Senio1· James Gardner and his bmthe1~, sophomore Alex, have made being part of the bowling team a family affai1·.
"I sta1·ted bowling because I wanted to be like my dad," said Alex. Both Gardners have been bowling since they we1 ·e about five.
l Since bowling has been such a part of thei1 · lives, it's no su1·pdse that when they got to high school they would Join the team. They like what it has to off e1·.
"It's a high-school bowling team and you get to travel and bowl with a lot of people from all
over," said James.
While both have said that theii· favodte pa1·t of being on the team is being able to bowl with many diff e1·ent people, Alex also likes wo1·king with the coaches to impmve his bowling skills.
As with any spo1·t, the1·e are bound to be moments that stick in you1 · mind.
"Last yea1\ we we1 ·e able to place in two diffo·ent tournaments," said James.
So, what is it like to be on the team with your b1·othe1·?
"It's fun, he helps me with what I'm doing w1"ong, and I help him with what he is doing wmng," said Alex.

Of the many talented young women on boa1·d, senior team captain Megan Videtich was one to watch as she led the Naii·es on the field during halftime.
"Pe1fo1·mances aI·e probably my favorite pa1·t about being 011 the squad," said Videtich. "Dancing together as a squad is ha1 ·de1 · than it looks, but we wo1-k ha1·d and ouI· work shows 011 the field. 1 think as both a team and as individuals we have improved a lot as dancers since tryouts."
One of the attributes that the Naires have that con tributes to their success is their experience dancing. Junio1 · Hannah Sher has had he1· hand in dancing fol · quite some time, and her experience transfe1 ·s over on the squad, giving her a good wo1 k ethic along with an

"Being 011 the squad teaches me to dance as pa1·t a team. We work a lot on bas technique and choreography, · this is all making me a better da11ce1·," said Sher.
Dancing for the Apollonaii ·es gives the gids oppo1·tunities to dance in th e future. Ashley Lafferty , a Sc ii or and team co-captain, is hea d i g to Arizona to enlist in theil· ~ - 111c( progI·am.

Eve1·yone strives fo1· pe1f ectio11, foi· something that sets them apart from others, and that's where true motivation comes from. In Show Choir, the students will do anything to ensure they produce nothing less than pe1fection.
"With all the practicing outside of school as well as eve1·yday in class , Show Choir to me has become a way of life," said senio1· dance captain Ra che ll e Sheets
Show Choi1· members often had tlwee p1·actices a week outside of thei1· everyday class, some lasting as long as fou1· hours. In these, they ran through music, lyrics, and cho1·eography until they got the entii·e ensemble correct.
"When the p1·actices last fol· a while, you just have to keep
going," said Junior membe1· Ca · Jie Nelson, "Not only do you nee c coodnation and vocal talen i but dedication, endu1 a11ce, a I 1 enthusiasm are also necessa I , Clualities needed to be in sho v choir."
Senior Adam Tucker agI ed "Since we spend so muc time togethe1 , and the choir s smaller than others, we are s very close knit." He said. "I se this class as my family, and i just would not be the same VI th out each individual the1·e."

$60,000. That's what it costs to prnduce a yearbook. Snapping the photos, designing the pages, and 1·ecording memories is what the staff is challenged to do to put togethe1· • the beloved and expensive homewo1·k. 1l1ese students take that challenge •seriously.
It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words (01· in this case, $60,000), and they can attest to that.

"It's a fun class where you get to experiment with you1· ideas," said junior layout designer Jackson Carter. "It's fun putting it together and making it all look good."
1l1e w1·iters have the challenge of
making the book 1ead well.
"It's a chance to interview people and experience East at its potential," said junior writer Akbar Chughtai. "I would definitely 1·ecommend this class foi· any- · one at East High."
But how do you pay for homewo1·k that totals about 6 OK? Senior Taylor Anderson, that's how. She is the Business Manager for the yearbook, taking ca1·e of financial matte, s such as advertising and 01·ganizi11g senio1· pictu1·es. It takes a lot of focus.
"It's fun, but there's a lot to do. You have to be organized and get things done on time," Anderson said.

He has been an English teacher for 28 yea1 ·s, wo1 ked at 1 0/ 1 1 1V., excels at making puns, and hopes to instill strong values of literatu1 -e into each of his students. Who is this mysterious n1an, you ask?
Dutch Fichthorn ha s been teaching at East for 2 0 years, currently teaching 9/ 1 0 English and AP Literatu1 ·e He said he hopes to help his students learn about the internal ideas of literature and for them to become more expressive writers.
"My main goal for my students is to have them make reason a habit anL1 for them to develop respect for large ideas of life," said Fichthorn.
Ficht horn holds his fellow English teachers in high regards, saying their "sense of rigor and high standa1·ds"
positively impact each student who passes through. . ,ut when it comes to the lege n I of Dr. Cognard, Fichthorn has ! o inte1 -est in becom in g the ne t legendary teachei-.

1l1anks to new Social Studies cournes in the last couple years, learning about histo1·y has never been quite so interesting. While the elective classes are fun and intriguing, that doesn't mean students still get plenty from thei1· requi1·ed Social Studies classes. freshman Aa ron Boh l enjoyed taking Civics with teacher Kev in Hu bbell.
"Mr Hu bbell is a really energetic teacher, and he makes the class fun and pretty easy to learn and understand," said Bo hl.
Bohl said he is also looking foiwa1·d to taking some of the newe1· elective classes, such as Histo1·y of Sport and History of Ho locaust.

"I'd like to develop some so1 t of Nebraska History course," said Morgan.
Whatever he's teaching, Morgan loves teaching social studies, and being at East.
"I think this school is one of the best in the state, if not in the nation. I would nevei- teach anywhe1·e else. I'll 1·et-ii-e as a Spa1·tan," said Morgan.

Most science students get g1·aded on test~ 01 · but East science teacha Kris Jarnagin likes to do things diff e1 ently. Students in his Biology class get to do severnl p1·0Jects tlwoughout the year. One of the most internsting is the biome p1 ·0Ject.
"l had t1 aveled to the 1ainfo1·est in South Amedca, and I got the idea of t1 ying to 1ecreate the biome," said Jarnagin.
"It was really fun, and we got to use or hands, and creative ability, and it was a good learning expedence, too, " said Junio1 · Nick Kohler.
For the pmJect, the students had to 'c1 ·eate' a biome, and t1 y to make it as rnal as possible. 1l1ey used eve1·ything from rnal plants to a ga1·bage bin. •
Not only was this p1·0Ject supposed to give the
chance for students to l s thei1· creative ability, bu i also taught them a littl e about the environment.
"Dudng the pmject we also studied ecology, ;c the students got to le a n a little about the ea1 ·th , ::1 little about helping protc ~it," said Jarnagin.
Afte1 · a few weeks of hard wo1 ·k, the biome s we1 e finally completed. f\. 17 only did the students gc .,· to show theii · pee1 ·s, but Jarnagin also invited th e elementa1 y school class e; and some senio1 · citizen s from a local nu1 sing hom e t view them.
"It takes a lot of t i n suppo1 ·t, effo1 t, and obv 1· ously space to do this," Jarnagin "It's a team eff J and if I have all of that I would like to continue th i 1 pmJect eve1·y yea1 · if I ca l 1 .'

Her class expectations a1·e-established eady in the 7 t h grade and then the 1·emai11ing yea1 s a1·e spent in developing theii· math abilities. Penner likes not having to "play the game" every yea,· of establishing expectations.

While most students are slaving away ove1- math quizzes, chemist1-y labs, and English papers, East's Art students a1-e escaping into thei1- aeativity. With 1 2 classes to choose from, A1-t students can explore a wide range of artistic expression. Art teachers Larry Buller, Lynn Hershey, and Donna Wilso n are the1-e to help students 1-each thei1- full potential.
Senior Kelsey Oliverius can't get enough of the A1 -t Department. She will have taken 9 art classes by the end of her senior yea1 - Oliverius has gotten a taste of most of the a1-t classes, and said that her favorite class is Advanced Painting.
"My favorite a1-t pmject is abstract a1-t, beca use most art 1-ules did not apply to the outcome," said Oliverius.
Oliverius has always enjoyed art, and said that she has loved a1-t every since she
got her frst box of crayons. With all the great classes an c teache1-s at East, Oliverius he -, not needed to take any art classes outside of school.
Hershey has been Oliverius' s teache1- for most of ht • a1-t classes, and isn't sU1-prise : that Oliverius enjoys abst1-ac a1-t.
"He1 - abstrnct was so diffei-ent from everyone else's." said Hershey.
She said Oliverius's memorable a1-twork is the pmuct of mo1-e than just natura talent.
"She has great wo1-k ethic in and outside of the classroom, is willing to take risks, and eve1 -ything she does has to be pe1fect, "sai d Hershey.
With a little bit of talent and a lot of effort, everyone in the Art Depa1 -tment has the chance to aeat masterpieces.
Ask anyone and most people will say that they love music. But ve1·y few love music like those who are i11 the music program at East.
1l1ese students have been able to tu1·n theii· love for music into a daily ritual. One of those students is junior Rya n Stewart. He plays guitar in Blue Note and is also taking Music 1l1eory, one of the newe1· music classes at East
"1l1e best part of being in a music class is getting to play music eve1·yday," said Stewart
Music students make many sacrifices fol · theii· passion. Many who take more than one music class
are forced to take summer school to pass off all their graduation requirements.
"It's ha1 d to make the decision to do music because I have to take summe1 · school to graduate," said sophomo1·e Sam Karas, who plays alto saxophone in Blue Note and Wind Ensemble.
Even students new to East can sense the .,'ietlication in the music students.
"Kids at East seem to care about music mo1 e than kids at my old school," said junior Art Burtch, .who is new to East this yea1 · and is involved with Ma1·cl1ing Band and Singe1·s. "1l1ey realize they're pa1 t of a legacy."

One of those specia l events is the Special Education Book Club.
A few yeaI·s ago, Media Specialist Roxi Sattler and Special Ed teacher Laurie Witters-Churchill wanted to fin d a way to 111ake sure that all students had the same opportunities. ll1ey knew that the Special Ed. students didn't always feel welco111ed, and that they weren't alw ays able to use the 111aterials in the lib1·a1y ll1at' s when they had the idea of starting a book club with these students. ll1rough the club, the students are able to lea1·n how to use the 111aterials, and lea1·n to enjoy 1·eading. ll1e group 111eets eveI·y three weeks and ending the yeaI· with a poet 1·y unit.

"We wa11ted the other kids to be able to inte1·act. We even pu1·chased books especiaily for the grnup," said Sattler. Just like othe1· clubs, these stu. dents learn together and enjoy the group experience. Sattler and Churchill even wrote a g1 :a11t and won the 2 0 0 6 Christa McAuliffe Schola1·ship. With this, they were able to purchase 111aterials for the club. ll1e club has beco111e veI·y rewa1·ding fo· both the instructors and the students.
"It is exciting to see a student use technology fo· the frst ti111e, and 1·ead about an inte1·est independently, and be an inclusive 111e111ber of the East High co111111unity," said Churchill.
"Every ti111e is a g1·eat ti111e," said Sattler, "Andrew Burson once wrnte a poe111 about popcorn and it was just so well written and hea1·tfelt." ll1ese hea1·tfelt 1110111ents are what 111akes the Book Clu b a success.
"K ids are able to learn and be exposed to everything. ll1ey are a fun group to work with," said ~attler. "It' s one of 111y favorite tliings."

•Planning for Arts and Humanities began in 1997
•Originally designed for juniors and seniors, but now accepts freshmen and sophomores.
•Planning for the Science Focus Program began in 1 995
You know the typical • teenage student ste1 ·eotype. ll1 ey hate school and would do anything to get out of it. Foi · some teenagers, this stereotype is true. But fo · East students Ashley Anderson and Sara Werner, sc hool ignites a passion to do what they love.
Anderson attends the A1·ts and Hu manities Focus Prog1 ·am and said that people who attend that focus schoo l often aI·e misunde1 stood.
"A lot of peop le think that kids who go to hts and Humanities are slacke1·s and just go to get out of school, but the people there are dedicated to theii· work," she said. "1l1e environment can be veI y challenging at times, so there's 110 room to slack off."
Anderson said that going to two diff e1 e11t schoo ls is kind of confusing but it's a good ba lance . East is moI·e like the typical high schoo l, with its cliques, and A1·ts and Hum an ities is mo I·e laid back She said

Sara Werner also talks about a passion, exce ~ hers is fostered in the Sci e1 '. e Foc us Program. She sai 1 th tshe studies 1·egular high-sc h ol classes lik e histo1·y there bL also studies diffe1·e11t subjc ti like environmental issues an , moI·e focused science classc
"I'm not 1·eally entlsiast ic about the choice of + ence classes at East, so wl 11 I found out about the Sci e1 3 Focus Program, I was really excited, " she said. Werner a J said that the classes and ;; around atmosphere there c a lot moI·e laid back and th 2 's exactly what she wanted.
"It' s moI·e lik e a co! g, atm osphe 1e than a high sci ol atm osphere It's ki nd of a le i 1 to go, but it's definit el y W l t i it, it's a great experience," 1e said
ll1e ability to choose theii· own path in life is one that many people don't come by until late,· in their lives. Students i11 the Ent1·epre11eurship and Technology Focus schools a1·e among the few teens who take the mad less traveled, pursuing studies in an atmosphe1·e that nurtt.wes their passion foi· technology and ent1·epreneU1·ship.
Senior Sarnh Webe1· attends the Technology Focus pi-ogrnm at Southeast Community College foi· two periods everyday. _
''I'm a total do1·k and I love computers," she said. She has been entlwalled by the world of technology ever since she was young, attending workshops and teaching kids about technology ove1· the summer.
While Weber loves the Technology prngrnm and is glad that she took the classes at SCC, she has decided not to pu1·sue a caree1· in technology.

Senio1 · Ross Schulenberg attends the • Entrep1·e11eu1 shi~,., focus program.
"I wanted to try something new and I wanted to improve leadership by exploring. entrepreneurship," he said.
In classes like Statistics, Electronic Publishing and Marketing Ap~1 lications, Schulenbei-g finds that it is easy to leai-11 in the envirn11111ent that EFP prnvides, one that is 1·elaxi11g, frim..1ly, and proactive.
"We set up pmjects within the community to help 11011 p1·ofit 01 ·ganizations," said Schulenbe1 g.
