What is school spirit? We at least know one thing about it from opinions of fellow Spartans - school spirit is two-sided; on one side, there's the spirit you see at sporting events and from school involvement. On the other side, there is the spirit that comes from community and promoting your school's image.
o one may know this two -sided coin better than senior BJ Kasl from The Pulse, and Student Council sponsor Michaela Schleicher.
"School spirit means doing anything you can to show you love your school and not caring about how you look," said Kasl. The fall is full of big events for Kasl and the rest of The Pulse, as well as his school-spirit comrade on the other side, Schleicher After the school year starts, both spirit p ioneers immediately see a lot of spirit in Booster Blitz - it's the first main event of the year.
"We bring the mascot, and sell t-shirts and signs to promote East at Booster Blitz," said Schleicher. Each year, StuCo members try to get kids invo l ved in the community side of school spirit.
This fall, they planned on many other big events to get kids involved. Some events they planned include pep rallies, Spirit Week, a movie night, a dance-a - thon, and a dodgeball tournament.
Stu Co's partner in school spirit, The Pulse, is just as invo l ved with promoting the school spirit. Members of the Pulse spent hours getting new chants, creating new signs, and getting ready for all the sporting events.
•
"We're working on getting some new, unique stuff for basketball season, and hopefully the end of football season," said Kasl.
Each year, The Pulse's job is to get kids invo lved with the sporting events Just like StuCo, they had major events on their ·calendars, as well.
"Some of the upcoming events we're looking forward to, and getting ready for are the Homecoming game, which shou ld be a big game against Southeast," said Kasl. "If we make it into the state tournament it will obviously be a big deal for The Pu l se and myself," he said .
Both Kasl and Schleicher have a good idea of what school spirit is - their clubs work with it every day So what is it?
According to Schleicher, "It's a big part of who we are."

Walking the hall on Super Hero Day of Spirit Week, one was bound to see a lot of amusing costumes. The costumes included the Hulk, Superman, Dumbledore, and, interestingly enough, even Jesus, which was junior Sarah Hansen in costume.
Hansen's costume idea for her favorite day of Spirit Week began as a joke between
friends. What started out as a giggle-fest quickl y blossomed into a full-blown plan.
That creative Spirit Week idea ultimately led to her winning the title of Spirit Queen, catching her off guard hours before the Homecoming dance.
"It feels awesome to be the only girl in the school known as the Spirit Queen," said Hansen. "It makes me feel special."
Seniors Rachel Didier and her were together for dinner and posttwin David have done everything together as they've grown up, but neither of them expected to be crowned Homecoming King and Queen.
Being voted onto the Homecoming Court is a once-in-a-lifetime event, with only seven boys and seven girls making the list. What made this court more unique than others was the close friendships the court had.
"It was just a great group of people, every single one of them," said David:
The twins, along with all the other members of the court, were introduced at halftime during the Homecoming football game. In addition, the two and their dates
Homecoming photos.
"We're together a lot so we sometimes feel like we're always compared. I'mjust thankful that David isn't a girl because I think we would fight," laughed Rachel.
The twins will always share that rush of adrenaline just before the announcement. Once David was crowned king, it was predicted that it would be a Didier sweep. •
"We did this awkward hug thing. We just didn't know what to do," recalled Rachel.
"Our mom was crying because she was so emotional about it," laughed David.
Indeed, it was a memorable and emotional night for the entire Didier family.
With poodle skirts, slicked-backed hair and leather jackets, "Grease" was nothing short of electrifying. Senior leads Isaac Iaquinta (playing Danny Zuko) and Brittany Gondringer (playing Sandra Dumbrowski) and the rest of the cast got glammed-up looks, thanks to junior costume designer Rochelle Brauckmuller and crew.
"It's a lot of running around with your head cut off," Brauckmuller said. "Organizing can be difficult. It gets stressful. but it's still a lot offun."
While the cast practiced their lines and choreography, Brauckmuller was busy researching "Grease" apparel to match the characters' personalities. Nebraska Wesleyan University Costume Closet provided this year's attire, with an added bonus--a discount.
Shari11:g the stage, and also part of the spotlight, was senior Lorellee Kampshneider, playing Frenchie, the beauty-school dropout who befriends Sandy in the musical.
"I really had to think about where my character was coming from," Kampshneider said on connecting with her role, and getting a feel for her character. "I just had to step into her shoes, and think about her motives."
The Fall Musical also included more freshmen than in years past. Freshman Trisha Miller may be new to East this year, but she is no stranger to theatre.
''I've been acting since I was 7," Miller said, who was an extra. "But I didn't become more serious about it until I was 11. I know most freshmen don't have the opportunity to be in school plays, so I'm honored I get to be a part of it." much like the audience members felt honored to enjoy it.
I r --Ela ne G' on, Roch lle Brauckmuller , Josi Hobbs , Anne Marie Korte, and Katie Frankforter-- perform with reat enthusiasm.
An old Russian author walks into a bar .... Wait. Scratch that. While this year's One Act involved an old Russian author (Leo Tolstoy), and was filled with laughs, it didn 't take place in a bar. "Tolstoy's Stories" wqs a humorous departure for this year's One Act group It also had a lot of fresh faces in it.
For junior Josh Stanley, being in his first play was no big deal for him and it was easy to get into character. For his first-ever public performance , he was even awarded an Outstanding Performance certificate at District competition.
''I'm a very dramatic person, and I enjoy putting emotions into the things I do," said Stanley, who played several roles
For German exchange student Josi Hobbs, a junior, it wasn't her first play but it was her first play at East.
"I did some acting back in Germany where we made up our own shows," said Hobbs. "I try do as much acting as I can so I was super excited to get a role," said Hobbs,who was Teller Number 5
Freshman Emma Cooney has worked in theater, but never as an actor until this fall. She helped with the set for this fall's Musical.
" I wanted to try acting because it looked fun when I saw the musical," said Cooney, who played Person 3, Governor, and Rich Woman.
Freshman Mia Azizah was thrilled to be cast in her first play. She just moved here from Indonesia and was happy to get involved.
"I was so happy to get cast," she said. Azizah played Wolf 2, Mother, Person 4, and Expert "It was the best day of my life."
For sophomore Andrea Wagner acting was a big change from playing sports.
"We spent a lot of time on the play, a lot more than we do in sports," said Wagner, who played Person 2, Child, Guard, and Queen.
So, 15 kids walk onto a stage and leave the audience happy and laughing. And thaf s no joke.

One person helps you, then you help three ot hers. Then, in turn, they each help three more people. Before you know it, the community benefits and this productive contagion spreads across the state and beyond. Such was the idea behind LPS's initial Student Serve.
"Becoming a b~tter person starts with one step," said junior participant Grant Valente.
On October 1st, LPS Student Serve grew into a huge district-wide event.
"It is a program that can make a difference" said Valente. • '
The movement required planning, which included calling schools and government officials to advertise the different events. For Valente, the work going into planning the event was strenuous but in the end, he knew his work would make a difference.
~l kinds of events took place acros~ the city: East High School organized several of them like the Teachers Abroad Program (TAP), the Football Food Drive at Maxey Elementary School, and clean up of the Soldiers' Circle at Wyuka cemetery.
"We went door-to-door for TAP and raised about $700," said junior Anne Wallace.
The Wyuka event was organized by East teacher Chuck Morgan, and attracted 40 people, 3 7 of whom were East students.
. "Thi~ was a way\ to honor veterans, they gave theff servICe to our country," said Morgan.
Overall, LPS Student Serve attracted thousands of people across the city, including over 200 from East.
It was also the first of its kind.

Chili cheese fries, frenchees, and steak sandwiches-- If you want to get your carnival food kicks, Topper Concessions is the way to go. Traveling state to state throughout the Midwest, and even down to Texas and Florida, the Topper Concessions is spreading their flavorful delights across the land.
Senior Brice Stone knows all about this family business, considering he is the son of the pwner.
"Summer is packed," Stone said. "It's the busiest time of year for concessions and carnivals."
Stone's plans for the future involve helping his father take care of the concessions stand, and even branching out from that.
"I plan on going full-time, someday managing my own stand," Stone said. "There's even a chance to be on a reality show about fair-concession families."
The future is bright, considering Stone's love for the • road.
"My favorite part is the traveling. But I don't get to hang with my friends much," Stone said.
As Brice's cousin and sometime co-worker, senior Melissa Allen knows firsthand about this traveling business. As the summers become busier, so does Allen's participation in the family biz.
"It definitely is a unique experience," said Allen." But it's always fun working with the family. Although it's not the most common job for a teenager to have, Brice loves it and really works hard and contributes to the Topper."

Major: International stud ies
Why Scotland: "I've always had a Fascination with UK and other countr ies so I Started looking into Schools in Europe . I Fell in love with Edinburgh because qf the classes, school system, and the environment."
The process: International students applicat ions . Moving would mean getting a v isa , changing phone, to live in UK staying for four years.
The experience: "Going to Ed inburgh will broaden my horizons, espec ially wit h all the other international students go ing there ."
Senior Keelan Chapman is a busy guy-- ot only an active volunteer in the community, such as participating in the Lincoln Parks and recreational ward and Save Nebraska, Chapman is also earning work experience interning for U.S. Sen. Jeff Fortenberry.
Although it may sound like a tough job to land for high school seniors, Chapman had no problem filling in the position.
"Well, I always wanted to get involved," said Chapman. "I had the number of a supervisor that worked with him. I got over the fear, and found the courage to call, and they helped me get an interview."
Landing this internship has given Chapman a look into his future career. His ideas of the future strongly reflects his current involvement in political ties.
"Since the day I was born, I wanted to be involved in • government and politics. I'm more on the liberal side, but I have a lot of respect for Fortenberry and his views," said Chapman.
A born leader, Chapman also took his chances and ran for Lieutenant Governor at Boise State last summer, representing his liberal views on hot political issues such as gay rights and abortion.
"I stood up for my values," Chapman said. "I learned how the political process works, and how to go into everything with an open mind."
While Chapman did not win lieutenant governor, he was proud he stood for his values, and for not giving up.
"It was a real eye-opener, trying to please both sides, while still sticking to your moral compass."
Major: "I'm not yet sure, but possibly something that has to do with
humanities or writing. I'm just going to take general classes until I decide."
Why Columbia: " I loved the city ifs in . When I visited it, I really liked the campus , and the mentality it holds ."
The process: "It was my first clear
choice. It was the only school I could apply early too, and since I got in , it was the only school I opplied for."
The experience: "Because of it's location and diversity, I'd like to meet different caliber of students."
Cheerleaders have something about them, like they've mastered the art of persuasion by getting everybody involved, to excite fans and players in their games. But one cheerleader has gone so far as to have even convinced her coaches that her passion and integrity can also broaden to a universal level, far beyond what's she's already accomplished with cheer-leading, here at East High: Senior Sydney Rotthaus.
"She's dedicated, always gives 100 percent, never skimps or takes a break, and is a great performer." said Rotthaus's cheer-leading coach, Terri Nelson.
Rotthaus's other cheer-leading coach Laura Graulty, agrees with Nelson, saying that, "She always looks sharp, and like she wants to be there the whole time. It's such a joy to watch her."
It's not only apparent to them that she has followed her heart, but Rotthaus also says that cheering is something she want s to have in her life as long as possible. Her charisma for it was evident when sh~ learned that she qualified to try out for the Universal Cheerleaders Association in December.
She was told she would be able to tryout for the team at the 2011 summer cheer camp in Omaha at CoCo Keys for East, being the only one from East high school that truly stuck out from the others to the coaches.
"They pulled me aside on the last day of camp, and when I found out that I had qualified to tryout, I was so incredibly happy." Rotthaus said.
Being on the UCA team would mean that Rotthaus can teach summer camps to high school students, and within a few years, travel to different places for the summer. Friends and family are proud of her and couldn't wait to hear how she did at tryouts.
"Sydney qualifying for this tryout spot is a direct reflection of herself, and is a culmination of all of her hard work," said Graulty.

sAll you want is to shake Bo Pelini's hand, or maybe get Jared Crick's autograph ... and instead you're left with two broken legs. Such was junior Sammy agel' s luck last summer.
On the morning of Aug. 5, agel was one of many Husker fans waiting to burst through the gates into Memorial Stadium for U L's annual "Fan Day."
As the gates opened, masses of people begin to run down the ramp into the stadium. Amidst the madness, agel tripped and fell. He says everything that happened after that is a blur.
"I was thinking, 'What happened?' and ' Holy crap, this hurts a lot!' " agel said.
Na gel recalls yelling for his mom who was behind him in the crowd to come to his aid. either one knows if he was trampled or not, but the extent of the damage to his legs suggests that he was.
An ambulance ride was followed by surgery, which included putting pins and crews in his legs. The surgeons also repaired a major tendon that was torn in
the accident.
Through all this trauma and craziness, one might think that agel would be quite distraught. However he describes his attitude as "kind of chill."
With two huge casts covering both -legs, Nagel was limited to a wheel chair for eight weeks. Still , his positive attitude prevailed.
" It wasn't too bad," he said, "but getting into the car was hard."
When school started, agel went to class for five periods a day. He said that for a time, his social life was rather limited too.
Life after the wheelchair included plenty of physical therapy, but surprisingly, little frustration. "I just let it h~ppen," said the easy--going junior. Through a stressful and difficult experience, Nagal managed to walk away with a big life lesson: "Enjoy life and the little things, " he said. "Don't sweat the small stuff."

It's the first day of school. You wake up extra early because you're excited to see your friends. You get to school, and everyone is talking about the new kid.
This year, the new kid on the block was junior athan Wei, who moved here from Albany, ew York last summer.
Coming to the Midwest for the first time was a shock to Wei.
"I used to have no idea what the Midwest was like," said Wei, "and now I've experienced it."
It's no surprise to hear Wei say that Lincoln is quite different from Albany.
" It's a nice, small town atmosphere," he said. "There's a lot oflittle chains that aren't found anywhere else in the U.S., like Runza, Taco Inn, Taco John's, and Amigos."
Wei sees many differences in lifestyles in Lincoln and Albany - even school in Albany is different. "Albany's more science- and mathbased," he said. " Here, to me it feels like
more of an English, History basis."
One thing that _surprised Wei was the look of Lincoln.
"There wasn't any corn - it ' s just in the surrounding area, not in town," he laughed.
Of course, as the new kid, he definitely misses Albany. "I miss my friends, the teachers, all the people," said Wei.
Still, he said he's glad he chose East for his new school.
"I liked the atmosphere at East, and the orchestra sounded good," he said. "Plus, we're good at my sports."
This year, Wei was on the JV Boys Tennis and Varsity Swim teams. According to Coach Hoham, "He's a well-rounded kid, great student, great musician, great tennis player."
For Wei, Lincoln has been an experience beyond any of his previous ones.
"It's good tp get a new perspective on life."

Sophomore Payton Merritt had never been so nervous as she was when she was onstage that October day. She had been rehearsing and practicing for over a year, and it all came down to this final moment.
"And the new Miss Omaha Outstanding Teen is Payton Merritt!"
"I didn't believe it when they called my name. I still don't believe it," said Merritt. "I couldn't believe that I had actually won Miss Omaha. It was such a huge honor."
Merritt was officially crowned Miss Omaha Outstanding Teen in October, and will go on to compete in Miss Nebraska Outstanding Teen in the first week of June
She became involved in pageants when she was younger, in part because of her mother. "She won Miss Kansas when she was younger, and she thought that pageants would be a great thing for me to get involved in because it was something that we could do together," Merritt said, "and I'm so glad she did."
Merritt has many great memories i;om her..years of pageantry, but on~ mo-
ment highlights her experience the most-- when she performed at the Miss Amazing pageant in Omaha.
"The Miss Amazing pageant in Omaha is a pageant for girls with disabilities, and the singer who was supposed to perform at the pageant got laryngitis at the last minute, so they asked me to fill in for her," said Merritt. "I sang my performance song 'Superwoman' and it was AMAZING."

0Time means different things to different people. To sophomore Tianye Chen, it is the most important thing to her.
"I plan my time by knowing how long everything takes to finish," said Chen. This year, she took all high-level classes, including Elements, Spanish4, AP Calculus D, and Anatomy and Physiology D. She also participated in Forensics and Future Business Leaders of America, and even started a club, called EPIC--East Pen pals International Club.
" We've set up pen pals in India and Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan right now," said Chen. Those letters introduced the East High students to a broader view of the world when they learned that Uzbek students were required to pick cotton for a month.
"It made me realize how lucky I was for all the opportunities we have in the United States and why the students there are working so hard in order to learn English and study here," saiq Chen.
Another eye-opening experience for Chen was LPS' s first-ever Student Serve, an all-district volunteer effort. Chen, a Student Serve leader at East, presented a PowerPoint at an East staff meeting and sent emails encouraging teachers to encourage students to get involved in volunteering.
So, what motivates Chen to take so many tough classes and extracurricular activities?
"I like to be doing things that challenge me." - llilli-..~~ hen practices her extemp speech for the Forensics team.

Everybody always wants to be able to play sports with one of their best friends-to have someone there to push them when times get tough, and to support each other when they need it. Sophomore best friends Madi Oxenhardt and Caitlin Luedke haye been lucky enough to not only play one but two high school sport together--volleyball and soccer.
"It's great because we get each other," said Luedke. Oxenhardt agreed, saying that it 's nice knowing that she will always ha·ve someone there for her.
Being on the same sports team ha pushed these girls to work harder and strive to improve.
"She pushes me to get better, and we jokingly c~mpete with each other," said Luedke. " It 's definitely kept us on our toes ."
At first , the y aid they struggled to succeed in both sports since each expects athletes to compete at such high levels.
" It was hard to deal with all the conflicts that came from pla ying both sports, but we've learned how to deal with it," Oxenhardt said. "I think we've figu re d out how to balance the sports in order to make both coaches happy."
They've been working on that balance since they first met, when both were four years old. "It's going to be depressing when the day comes that we aren't going to be playing ports together anymore because we ' ve played together since we were on micro," said Luedke. "It's hard to believe that it 's been that long but I wouldn't change it for the world."

A new day at a new school can be overwhelming if you don't know your way around the classrooms and are surrounded by strangers. However, for incoming freshmen, they get a day just for themselves to ease into that transition Freshman Da y.
While the rest of the student body got to stay at home and catch up on sleep, the newest'Spartans were already up, and preparing for the rest of their high-school experience by getting a tour, visiting their classes, eating lunch in the cafeteria and participating in a variety of activities.
One of the activities included a tunnel walk, where the teachers welcome c the students. Even that proved to be stressful for some.
"Thank god! I'm through the tunnel!" said freshman icholas Courtney Freshman day involves a lot of planning to make sure that it run smooth
"The planning never stops," said counselor Karen Dre s, who organizes the day.
This includes managing the crowd, organizing drawings for prizes, making the freshmen comfortable and making sure that the day is a good experience.
This year, the qay was set apart from previous Freshman Days.
"There are even more prizes for freshmen," said teacher Jeff Hoham.
Still, though, there were the common challenges that the teachers and counselors faced.
"It is about helping the kids understand lunch and intermixing them," said Principal Susan Cassata. Those efforts, it seems, paid off.
"The teachers were nice and open for questions," said freshman Justin Wahl. Beyond the information, the day was also entertaining.
"It is a fun-loaded place," said freshman Prestyn Hartman. ot a bad day for the class of 2015.

Freshman Trisha Miller is no drama queen, unless she is on stage. Trisha has been involved in all kinds of theater for some time now.
"I got started in theater when I was about seven years old," said Miller.
She has made theater a huge part of her life, even hoping to make it a career for herself.
"I like going outside of my own mind and taking on the entire life of a new person," said Miller.
She has had speaking parts in eight shows since discovering theater. ew to the public schools this year, Miller hopes to get even more chances to perform. "Lincoln Lutheran only does one show a year and it's expensive,"said Miller, who transfered to East from there.
Going from a private school to a public school wasn't hard for Miller because she was able to use her theater skills to help her meet new people.
"Being in the shows made it easier to meet new people, especially upper-classmen," said Miller.
She was in the musical "Grease" this year, as well as the school's One Act, "Tolstoy Stories." One-act director Jesse Millspaugh was happy to have her help in the show. He said Miller brings an abundance of energy to the shows and her characters.
''I'm impressed by how she developed her grandmother character with the voice and the posture," said Millspaugh, referring to Miller's one-act role.
As for Miller? She is ha ppy t-o be here and be apart of the theater. She brings a lot of energy to the school and to her acting is planning to keep her whirl wind of energy going and keep her drama for the stage.

Freshman Molly Penner has done a balancing act between school and gymnastics for most of her life. She took up gymnastics in first grade after her P.E. teacher suggested she give it a whirl ~after their gymnastics unit in class. Penner decided it might be fun and has been doing it ever since.
"I don't think that people really understand or realize how hard of a sport it is," Penner said. She spends over 20 hours a week practicing. Penner also attends about 10 competitions a year.
"Usually we stay in the Midwest like Iowa and Kansas, but this year we're going to Las Vegas," Penner said. Thankfully, her parents are really supportive and are willing to spend hours traveling to watch her compete. She competes in every event but prefers the parallel bars. Despite all those competitions, Penner said she still has to deal with nerves.
"The hardest thing about gymnastics is the fear," she said. "You can't let that get in the way of the skill you're trying to accomplish."
And Penner said she still has plenty to accomplish, hoping to someday earn a scholarship at UNL to compete in college.
From balancing school and gymnastics, Freshman Molly Penner has gotten the opportunity of a lifetime to experienoc a sport that not many kids have been exposed to, firsthand.

For eleven years, Carol Cruickshank has been the face of the Lincoln East Counseling Department, making students' many appointments fit into the counselors' busy schedules, updating the Counseling website everyday, communicating with parents, and-most importantly--answering each and every one of East students' questions.
"I love my job. It never gets boring-with the variety of activities I do," she said.
She truly runs the Counseling Center world. As if that's not amazing enough, Cruikshank plays every role while sporting one of the biggest smiles around. What brings that smile to her face?
"I just remember the reason I'm here." she said. "It's for you guys."
The students clearly see her passion for her job too.
Senior Shelby Clark is a Counseling Center student assistant who works with Mrs. Cruickshank.
"She is very perky and never in a bad mood," Clark said; "She's always willing to help out everyone."
Senior Hailey Frost also agreed with Clark's description.
"Her laugh is so contagious, it puts me in a great mood," said Frost.
As impossible as it may seem, Cruickshank has a way of making a trip to the Counseling Department a highlight in a student's day. Her smile and contagious laugh will make any student agree-- it is evident Mrs. Cruickshank loves her job .
When walking into East High there is no more of a friendly face to see than Mark Siske's. Siske is the school's front-door monitor, which means he spends rriost of his time checking in students and guests as they enter Spartan territory. Most students don't realize the basics of security or the time put into keeping the school safe.
"In today's time and age, you have to be prepared for anything," Siske said. "There is a greater need for controlling your environment."
To become any type of security monitor at any LPS school you have to complete an eight hour training class. Siske has taken several classes beyond LPS's eight-hour required security-training course. You could say he has a great passion _ for his job.
"We have 1,733 amazing students at this school, and that is exactly why I'm here doing my job," said Siske.
Siske loves it so much that he spends hours a week coming to East events and supporting the students.
"I go to any musical, game, dance , or any event that I can," he said. "It's great to see what the students are accomplishing behind the scenes."

Math and English are two completely different subjects taught by people with different personalities, and in this case those people happen to be married to each other.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hoham are very different. Mr. Hoham is more outgqing and Mrs. Hoham is very nice," said junior Elizabeth Grady, who had both Hohams first semester this year.
Although most people may feel that working with their spouse could be awkward or even a little too much to handle, this does not apply for the Hoham duo.
"Working with Mr. Hoham actually comes in handy, more for home situations than
for school," said Mrs. Hoham. Students often assume the two see each other every day, however that is not always the case.
"I sometimes go the whole day without seeing him, even though his room is right down the hall," said Mrs. Hoham.
Just because they don't see each other does not mean that they aren't on each other's minds.
"Sometimes Mr. Hoham talks about her and some of the experiences that they have that tie in with what he is teaching," said Grady.
The Hohams are living proof that you can find a common thread between almost anything, even two subjects as different as Math and English . .
Ask anyone about English teacher Jeff Ho ham and the first thing they say has to do with his sense of humor. While that may be true, the next thing they notice is his love for his wife, Mrs. Hoham, who teaches math at . East.
"Mr. Hoham talks about her all the time," said junior Amie Just.
Mr. Hoham has lots of reasons to talk about his wife.
"She's my better half. She is an incredibly talented teacher," he said. "I wish I was half the teacher she was."
That's a bold statement coming from a national coach of the year and a teacher who made his courses from scratch.
While the Hohams can go the entire school day without seeing each other, Mr. Hoham has got the marriage idea down.
"Marriage is a partnership. Each and everyday you need to remind yourself that it's about . giving and understanding one another and focusing on raising your children," he said. "No one partner is above the rest."
Spoken like a true English teacher.
Many new classes are add- .,, ed to East each year, be it Art, Social Studies, or World Language. However, this year East's biggest experiment was introducing two new AP classes to the Science Deparment. Mr. Lautenschlager, head of the Science Department, said the time was right.
"There have been a lot of requests," said Lautenschlager, "so the district met and made a decision."
Before East could offer these classes, the district needed the right ingredients: additional resources, teacher training, and, of course, enough students interested in taking the classes.
In the end, AP Chemistry, taught by Mr. Thompson, and AP Biology, taught by Mr. Shafer, were added to East.
Both teachers are really liking
the classes and learning -along with thei; students as well.
"I love teaching AP Biology. If very challenging," said Shafer, who adjusting to the rigorous AP curric lum for the class. Since the content was new to him, Shafer naturally ha , some new things to learn. But if it's difficult for the teacher, how does it feel for the student?
"It's very new, and a lot of harder than I'm used to," said junior Au tin Koch, "but I'm up for the challenge." Koch took both AP Chemistry and Biology, so he had double the science on his plate. He said that he enjoyed both classes, anc that he loves the challenge.
"I definitely recommend taking AP," said Koch. "It's very fun, and very challenging."
So if you are prepared to be challenged and have fun, then you can definitely step up to AP.

•Students at East are notorious for their hectic schedules: from sports to theater to after-school jobs, it can be challenging fitting all their ~ctivities in their agendas. However, students aren't the onl y ones piled with chaotic calenders. Teacher Mr. Farrand knows what it ' s like to have a busy lineup.
Farrand participates in many activities at East, both as a teacher and as the Assistant Athletic Director. This year, he also took on a new as job as the interim Social Studies Department chair, after Mr. Bayne retired.
' Tm excited to do the job," Farrand said.
He is happy to help lead the Social Studies Department, and having such good co-workers makes the transition easy.
"I work with a lot of great people," Farrand said. "They are all very professional so the transition should go over smoothl y "
Fellow Social Studies teacher
Mr. Morgan said Farrand has done a good job in his new position.
"He is always working, and he is a team player," said Morgan. "We have worked together for many years, so we are willing to work together."
Farrand was busier than usual with the new job and being the As- · sistant Athletic Director. Balance was key to making it all work.
"Sometimes my schedule is difficult," Farrand acknowledged. "It just depends on the season and what is going on."
East's Athletic Director Wendy Henrichs has known Farrand for a long time. They taught together before they both became athletic directors, so she knows what he is able to handle.
"He was an intense person as a coach and is able to bring that passion to teaching and to the department chair," Henrichs said.
Farrand has a lot on his plate this year, but he is ready to work.
"l 1 m excited to do the job.,, -John Farrand
Five years ago, the teachers in the Music Department came up with a winning idea: to create a class that's appealing to a variety of students, not just experienced musicians. Because • playing guitar was growing in popularity among students, music teacher Lance Nielsen decided to give it a whirl and began offering guitar classes.
Students signed up for the class for an array of reasons. While senior Shelby Bretz took the class because she needed a class as a filler, senior Hannah Rice said "I took it because I love music and wanted to experience as many diverse music classes I can during my time at East."
The laid back environment allowed students to settle into their comfort zones and learn. Nielsen teaches the class based upon the students' experience,
especially mindful of the beginners. That can present a challenge to some.
"You can only move as fast as your weakest link," Rice said, acknowledging the many levels of musical experience in her classmates.
The recommended amount of practice isn't as intense as .you might think.
"I go home and play on the guitar just for fun," said Rice. Nielsen also offers practice time during lunch for students who want to use their time to master their skills.
"I feel that it's an important class because it improves students attendance , " said Nielsen "It's remarkable what one class can do for a student."
Some students enjoy guitar so much that they want to come t school simply for the class.
IAlthough not everyone at East is aspiring to be the next Leonardo Da Vinci or Michaelangelo , we do have some students and teachers who are passionate about art. But oddly enough, some of the students just filling credits discover their talent for art.
"Students come into class and surprise themselves," said teacher Larry Buller.
Take Junior Tatum Sheehy for example. "Art helps take away mental stress during the day. It gives me a break," she said. Like most other creative classes, the environment is laid back and fun. Whether you are making pottery or creating a painting, it can get a bit messy. Department Chair Lynne Hershey remembers one
time her students, after painting their feet for a project, mistook a bottle of Elmer 's glue for soap. Talk about a sticky situation.
Much like the students who find out they've got a hidden talent for art, Mrs. Hershey found her profession without looking for it. "I planned to be a studio painter or working in a gallery, but my professor advised me to become certified to teach, and I did." Mrs. Hershey said.
When you take an art class, you find people with all different kinds of personalities, and a lot of crazy fun. Sometimes the most interesting people in the class are the teachers. Both Buller and Hershey now are inspired by their students, and inspiration is a necessity to anything and everything we do.
There are over 6,000 different languages spoken throughout the world.
Sophomore Savanna Falter studied one of these languages in a very different way this year. The traditional classroom setting didn't fit in with her busy schedule, so she decided to take advantage of technology and try something new.
"I was really sad when I found out I might lose a year of being able to take another language," Falter stated. That's when she found out about a distancelearning opportunity. During her 7th period class she goes to the media center and tunes into a Chinese class being taught at North Star. Coral Su, her teacher, gives her the work and handouts at the beginning of each week. Falter then logs in and can see and hear everyone through a headset and a computer. Classmates at North Star can also see and hear her on a television set inside the classroom.
"The class has been such a great experience, I get the chance to meet others
that I would not have met without it," Falter said.
Her interest in the Chinese culture was sparked when her family took a vacation to China last summer. She isn't the first one in her family to learn the Chinese language. Her older sister, Skylar, has also taken the class and helps Savanna with questions as well as providing some inspiration to keep going.
"She's definitely connected to the Chinese community here," said Falter of her older sister. "It keeps me inspired."
Falter knew she would be the first one to try this distance-learning at East, but she was up to the challenge.
"There are technical difficulties and the t€acher is very understanding of them, no matter how frustrating they can be," Falter stated. Halfway through her first quarter of i 4 she would recommend it over an independent study anytime, especially since she gets to hear the pronunciations of words, via the computer. She hopes to become fluent in Chinese through the classes offered, one day working in advertising in China. ., .

Most students don't know what they want to be when they grow up, especially when they are a freshman in high school. But freshman Amy Housel knows exactly what she wants to do.
"I want to be a teacher when I grow up," she said.
Housel is just like any other high school student. She goes to the Spartan athletic games and cheers on the team, she plays soccer and she sings. She also goes to Lunch Bunch with teacher Mrs. Churchill and works hard in all her classes with her new friends and teachers.
Housel starts her school day with writing and wraps up the day with her favorite class, Vocal Music with her teacher, Mrs. Smith.
"Music is really great," said Housel. "I love to sing!"
Music is so important to Housel that, when she grows up, she wants to become a vocal music · teacher. Housel is very passionate about music and has loved to sing for years.
She's been thinking of going to college at Wesleyan, but there is no rush, since this is Housel' s freshmen year of school. Like most East students, Housel thinks she'll look back on her high school experience and remember going to the football games and meeting her friends and teachers.
"She's a delight and loves to
sing!" said teacher Smith. Housel r------,~~m~ is excited for her future plans and has great intentions to meet her goals.

When you see that one of the Family Consumer Science classes has made chocolate chip cookies, your first thought is probably "I want a cookie." Your next thought is most likely, "I wonder if there are any left over "
You probably didn't think about all the work that went into them . How could you, when all you see and smell are fresh cookies just sitting there? But if you had to prepare for the lab, like Ms. Marge Keep does quite often, you might be concerned with other matters.
"She has a lot of knowledge about everything about food," said junior Elsa Parr, who has taken classes from Keep.
Keep, the F.C.S. department chair, does a lot more for the students than they may realize at first. She grocery' shops two to three times a week, so that she can give students
options for their labs.
"I give them opportunities to pick what they make because it's more of a life skill to have them choose," Keep said.
Keep does lots of work to keep the F.C.S. department running. One of those things is cutting back on unnecessary items like beverages so that the department can continue to stay in budget. Another thing they do--one that most of her students are disappointed to realize--is to consider the foods made in class as samples rather than full servings.
With just a sample serving , the F.C .S . has a lot of tasty things to offer. You might be surprised with all the things you find in the department. If you're looking for an applied arts class that's sure to take your taste buds for a whirl, look no further.
Imagine a room full of students, all of them performing routines and dancing. Sounds like rehearsal for a recital or musical, but it's just another day in Dance 101.
In this class, students get to learn a variety of dances from line-dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
That assortment is easily one of the reasons Dance 10 1 attracts so many people--everyone from accomplished dancers to beginners. Dance 101 teacher Pam Hovorka, said that the make-up of the class is "across the broad spectrum of East High students."
Some have experience in dancing, like junior Madison Mallum, who has been clogging for years.
"Dancing is fun and I've done it for a long time," said Mallum.
Senior Reno Martinez was originally in Lifetime Sports, but switched into Dance 101 because he likes dancing and ultimately "stuck with it because it's fun." Sophomore Andrea Wagner took it so she could learn how to dance.
This PE class is set apart from just any old gym class. Not only do they get to dance for a grade, but also changing clothes is not mandatory. Dance 101 students also get to dance and listen to music on a daily basis, which gives way to a relaxed, social environment.
An ordinary day in Dance 101 consists of learning Mrs. Zillig helps junior Michelle
during Lifetime Sports.

new dances. Sometimes the students get to choose music and come up with their choreography in groups, which is the case for the line-dancing portion of the class.
"We performed the dance and taught it to the class," said Mallum.
Even though Wagner said that the class is fun and she enjoys dancing with friends, one downside may be "having to memorize all the steps."
As for Mrs. Hovorka, her favorite part is "watching the students getting the dance" and seeing the final product of their practicing, which ranges from disco to waltzes.
Whether the class is dancing away to the broad spectrum of music, Mrs. Hovorka said that she has fun teaching the class and we should "Come take Dance 101)" .. •

Industrial Tech Engineering (ITE) may sound like a challenging class, but with an experienced teacher like Kirk Skiles, it's a breeze. Skiles has been teaching at East for 31 years.
''I'm as old as dirt," he said.
Skiles got interested in the subject when he took a class in high school and had a teacher that really made the class a great experience.
"He had a very interesting way of presenting material and how it would apply to real life," Skiles said.
Skiles tries to use those same techniques in his classes. He said most kids take ITE classes because of the projects they
do, such as designing and making wooden puzzles, building a ca i· alarm and designing houses. Afte • they're in these classes, though, th ...., y realize they can relate problem so lving to other activities.
Senior Curtis Dlouhy who's taking a block schedule of Advan o'. d CAD CEA (Civil Engineering and Architecture), began taking Industrial Tech classes his freshman yea • and had Skiles as a teacher. He sa d he really knew the software.
"Mr. Skiles attracted me to more CAD classes," Dlouhy said.
In Skiles' classes , students get 1 real, hands-on experience as to h v ITE can relate to real-life situatio n ;, and enjoying the projects along th • way.
Think marketing doesn't affect you? Think again. Senior Katie Lagerstrom took Marketing this year.
''I've learned that we live it every day and that marketing affects everything we do, even when we don't realize it," said Lagerstrom.
Marketing includes activities involved in selling goods, such as advertising, shipping, and storing.
"Price, product, place, and promotion," said Lagerstrom. "It's somewhat of the class's motto." With the bad economy, it is more important than ever to know how to handle money, and know what type of jobs and business opportunities there are. These facts motivate Business teacher Lori Anderson.
Anderson currently teaches College Accounting, Business Management, Digital Media, and Advanced

"I took every business class my high school offered and enjoyed every one of them," she said. "I love how technology always changes and I am able to learn with my students."
While Anderson was constantly learning new tools in her business classes, some East students have discovered a possible career. Senior Holly Schwartz took College Accounting and Business Management this year. The longer she's in accounting, the more she to learn more about it. Schwartz wants to minor in accounting and is pondering opening her own business. Until then, she is using what she has learned to help her with budgeting and spending.
"I have a strong interest in the business world now, without a doubt," Schwartz said.

Jamie Johnson is not your typical East Yearbook staff member. Although he meets deadlines and brings a positive attitude, one characteristic makes him stand out from the 27 other Yearbook students ... he's the only male!
This may come as a bit of a shock, but not to Yearbook adviser Jane Holt.
"It's an old tradition," she said. Since 1990, when Holt started as the East adviser, the boy-to-girl ratio has always been dramatically uneven. Luckily, Johnson is the perfect guy to take on the challenge.

. brought to yearbook other than testosterone. His good humor and perspective is exactly what is needed in class.
Johnson applied for yearbook because both of his sisters were involved in it as editors.
"What they told me about it, it sounded really fun," said Johnson. While he admitted that the class was awkward for the firs t few days, he has definitely looked at the experience positively.
"It's not a girly class," Johnson said, "and there are a lot of food parties!" That said, Johnson, who is a junior, said he is looking for new male recruits for next year.

Lindsey Morgan Junior Writer
"A writer requires a lot of patience. You have to go over it again and again," Morgan said. For an issue, the jobs include deciding a topic, researching, and editing the final product. If she could write about anything, she would open up a yearbook and choose a random person. "Everyone has a story, and we don't take time to realize that," said Morgan.
Andrew Barry
Senior Photographer
"Photos are moments of people's lives." said Barry. His job involves capturing moments and editing photos for the Oracle. For an issue, photographers get assigned stories and travel to take the pictures. He said that it is not as easy as it looks. "You have to find an angle that relates to the article, one that expresses you, but the story as well."
Hannah Wittwer
Senior Design Editor
"I am crazy abo design," said Wittwer. She is a graphic designer for her church. , editor, Wittwer designs layouts and covers for each issue. Her job requires an eye for color and layout and teaching others how to use programs to design. About her job she said, "I have a lot of possession of it to where I'm really proud of the final piece."
Everyone dreams of being a famous person and getting grilled with questions by the press. But what if the picture were reversed, and you were the press, fishing for information to put in the local newspaper?
Senior Jackson Fisher is the director of all this media commotion, as editor-in-chief of the East High Oracle. And he's not complaining.
"I love producing an actual product which the whole school can see," he said. "Seeing the first issue after it came out was incredible."
As editor-in-chief, Fisher • oversees all of his comrades, piecing together each edition of the Oracle.
"I come up with the theme, help with some story ideas, organize and supervise, and, once it's all done, I get to edit it!"
It's a highly involved position, but Fisher enjoys being in charge.
This year's Oracle staff is a talented group, with each of the staff member working within- their area of expertise.
"The work is more evenly divided, and everyone working with their specialty improves the newspaper incredibly," said Fischer.
The staff behind Jackson shares equally in his enthusiasm. Junior Conner Dwinell enjoys his position as a writer for the newspaper.
"I really loved working on the Oracle this year," he said . "It was a super fun class and the satisfaction of working on something and getting it in print was just amazing."
As each member of the Oracle goes looking for stories to tell, they get to be the ones in the know. They're the ones who get to pull the giant fish out of the sea.

Performing alongside the band at every game, the Lincoln East Color Guard is always there to b ring flavor to the show Like t h e band, the color guard practices every day starting at 7 a .m., a ll the way through first period, working diligently to perfect the moves for their performance.
" I t's hard, because everyone is ti red," said junior leader Amand a H ellmuth, "but they work har d. "
Hard work is always a part of t h i s group, generally made of se ni ors members. Not this year, t h o u gh. That's why Hellmuth was ready to take the position as lea d er, sharing her passion and co m mitment with the team. She sa id the group has stepped it up in th e absence of seniors

Hard work is much more than just twirling flags around. According to Hellmuth, it also involves a lot of pain. At the beginning of the y ear, freshman Lan Portno y was on crutches after the rainy Kearney game Earlier this summer Portnoy had been hit with a flag, giving her a concussion, which comes to show how physically demanding being in the color guard can be.

Passion, determination and having the time are helpful qualities for members of East's Orchestra The Orchestra performs three big events each year: the Holida y Concert, Finale, and LPS's District Concert.
"I probably work on Orchestra up to 15 hours a week," said concert master senior Eajan Hsu. "It's something you get good at with a lot of practice."
Some students in Orchestra focus all of their musical talent on that group, while others, like junior bassist Jeremy Buethe, also are involved in Show Choir and Drum Line . .
"Music is my outlet, " said Buethe. "I wouldn't feel right going a day without it. "
That kind of passion is common among these musicians.
" When I play music, I'm getting to do what I love," said senior viola player Max Oehlertz. Another bonus for these musicians is when it all comes together so well.
"The atmosphere is magical," said senior cellist Ellie Dynek. "Even though you 're just one instrument, when it's all put together, it turns into something beautiful."
When you walk down Senior Hall, you can usually hear music playing. If it's during 3rd or 6th period, you are hearing the Jazz Band or Wind Ensemble ... which means you could be hearing seniors Brenna Olson (trumpet) or Miranda Karsting (tenor saxophone). They have a shared love for both Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble. "I love getting lost in the music when I play my saxophone," said Karsting.
That love got a big boost, thanks to the Wind Ensemble playing at the NSBA Convention in March. This was a huge honor given to only one high-school group in Nebraska. The last time East earned that honor was before any of the current Spartans were born.
"The convention is making us work harder and practice a lot more,"
said Olson, who was excited to play for it. In preparation, Wind Ensemble added Monday night rehearsals • and the musicians were expected to practice every weekend so they would do their best at the convention.
"I l\ke being in Wind Ensemble because I get to play music at a higher level," said Karsting.
Olson and Karsting also enjoyed being in Jazz Band. This tight group of musicians performed at concerts as well as attended conventions and hosted East's Jazz Cafe. Karsting said she likes being with friends and playing in a smaller group. Bwoth girls said it's an enjoyable change of pace.
"I like how fun Jazz Band can be. It is very relaxed and we get to play cool music," said Olson. Both Olson and Karsting plan on pursuing their love of music in college

When you go to class, you don't exactly think of singing and dancing being on the agenda. For Show Choir students, though, it's just another day of class.
"It's my favorite class. It makes my day!" said sophomore Katie Frankforter, a first-year member of Elegance, the girls-only choir. She said the class has taught her the importance of singing and dancing as one unit.
Senior Miranda Zitek remembers being new to the show-choir scene. Now, Zitek, has become a confident three-year member of Express, East's mixed Show Choir.
"Choreography has been hard for me to pick up, but the past three years have made me better at picking up on it," said Zitek. Even Frankforter has seen improvements in herself with just one season of Show Choir under her belt.
"Singing in public was hard for me, but after my solo, it's been easier," she said.
Both agree that, at times, getting everyone on the same page can be tricky.
"Conflict occurs when it comes to making sure everyone comes to rehearsal," said Zitek. Frankforter said a struggle for Elegance was making dance moves uniform.
"We have people who disagree," said Frankforter. "But the dance captains help us make decisions."
Both say the competition season makes the struggle and hard work worth it. Ask ariy Sh0w Choir member and they will tell you nothing is quite like the feeling of being on stage.
"Right before you go on stage, you hear the audience and it's nerve-racking," said Zitek. "But once you get on stage, you aren't nervous anymore and it's really fun!"

Lots of new things took place with Singers this year. For the first time, every member of Express Show Choir also was a part of the Singers class and even a few lucky underclassmen got to enroll in it.
"We had to combine the classes because of scheduling," said teacher Dottie Smith.
Because they shared personnel, Show Choir competitions complicated Singers practices at times.
"We don't wget to work on the music all the time in Show Choir," said senior Ethan Walsh, who was a member of both groups. But he went on to say that the change was a good one, too.
"Things are different this year with us having the class split but we seem to be more together this year," he said."
For sophomore Braxton Parde, getting into Singers as an underclassman was exciting.
"You get respect when you're in the class but you also have to give it to the upperclassmen because you are still younger," said Parde.
As an upperclassman himself, Walsh knows how important the class has been to him.
"Singers is a powerful and extraordinary thing and you're a part of it forever," said Walsh.

Ma d e u p of mostly juniors and seniors, Varsity Football is not for sissies. From running in those heavy shoulder pads to counting the bruises from yesterday's practice, these boys are tough. So how does a team of steak-eating beasts face one of the toughest schedules in the state? One game at a time.
After tackling harsh pre-season expectations, the Spartans rose to the challenge and ended up making it to State, after beating Columbus 21 - 7 For the seniors, state was their goal since two -a~days. It's also the first time since 2008 that East has made the playoffs. Their secret?
"Everyone gets along," said senior running back John Schneckloth. Those friendships off the field helped push the team to succeed. Getting to that level of team unity requires plenty of trust and sweat.
"We've got good team chemistry," senior wide receiver Eric Connor said.
Part of that team chemistry comes from the younger players. Since J V is made u p of mostly juniors, many of t h em suited up for Varsity games, as well As a result, they meshed with both the system and the older players .

aits to be bandaged u g a game.
n0In football, one play can instantly change the outcome of the game. For sophomore player Greg Dittman and Freshman player Marcus Winans, one moment changed their entire seasons.
• Although he was in a boot, he refused to just sit on the sidelines and do nothing.
Dittman, a Reserve quarterback, was really looking forward to a good season before he tore his ACL during the season opener· against Grand Island.
"I heard this pop, and I just went into denial," said Dittman.
When he tried to get back up, he fell right back to the ground. Unaware of the severity of the injury, Dittman thought he'd be back in the game later. That didn't happen, though. Although Dittman was disappointed that everything he worked for had just ended, he tried to look at the bright side.
"The longer I'm out, it makes me appreciate every play more," he said.
Winans knows what Dittman means. A Freshman linebacker and wide receiver, he overworked his ankle and was out for 3 weeks at the beginning of the season.
"I decided to help my team through other ways," Winans said. He did anything the team needed, even if that meant playing the role of "water boy."
Freshman Coach Jeff Campbell expected every injured player to attend practice.
"They are given the various jobs that help out the teain, but they are also held accountable for knowing plays so when the time comes," he said. "And they get cleared to play, they can perform just as well as their teammates."
That is exactly what Winans did, finishing up the season with the team.
"It was not as difficult as it was getting the endurance again," he said. "Once I got that, I was in it."
While injuries are a part of football, these East players get through them with a positive attitude and hard work, changing a moment of pain into an unexpected learning experience.

At East, JV and Varsity Volleyball is quite the family affair Between the two teams, there are three pairs of siblings wearing their blue-and-white jerseys proudly. These sister duos are deeply rooted in their love of volleyball. Senior Varsity members, Claire Holmquist and Amanda Lambert say that volleyball has always been a huge part of their lives.
"I've been doing it since I was little, so it's kind of my sport," said senior Varsity player Amanda · Lambert, whose younger sister Alexis, a freshman, is on the JV team. Senior Claire Holmquist seconds that, noting that she too has played since her days in elementary school. Her younger sister, Anna, is a freshman member of the JV team.
As team captains, the older sisters feel the responsibility of leading the Varsity team in a positive manner. But the influence of these two seniors reaches much further than to their teammates. Their younger ~iblings also look to them for guidance.
"I would watch her play and thought it looked fun," said Alexis about her older sister Amanda. Anna, too, credits her interest in volleyball to watching her sister Claire. The Holmquist sisters even play the same position on their respective teams. But playing the same position does not make
them the same player.
"Claire is more outgoing, and that shows on th l court," said Anna. She says she has worked hard t o come out of her ·shell and be a more aggressive pla y er, like her older sister. Alexis also recognizes diffe 1 enc es between herself and her older sister, Amand a ''I'm a loud go-getter. My sister is more quiet. ;. makes us different players," said Amanda.
Alexis agreed, saying that the different personalities results in different approaches to the game .
"She's the more aggressive player," said Alexis. ''I'm the quieter one that plays more smart."
Despite differences, the sisters are very helpful to one another. Anna says that Claire sometime s gives her pointers.
"Sometimes we scrimmage each other. Since we play the same position, it helps a lot," said Claire.
Alexis and Amanda have post-game talks about what went right and wrong and try to learn from those mistakes.
All four girls plan to continue volleyball into their college years. For these talented players, the future looks bright. Through experience they gain and with the help of each other, they are sure to make East High proud!

Being an East High Volleyball player requires a lot of time and commitment. Practicing a few hours a day five days a week during the season, it becomes one of the main focuses in a player's life. Even when the season is over, the pressure is still on for some players, including freshman player Giavanna Whitney and reserve player Nicole Shively .
Both play club volleyball in the off seasons so they can become even better players. Club volleyball season is from February through April.
"Club volleyball definitely helps you in the off season," said Shively. "You have a lot more individual time because there are fewer players on the team so you get more time with the coach." Whitney said her club time made all the difference when she got to East.
Still, she recommends playing in the offseason, too.
"If it wasn't for club volleyball, I wouldn't have made it on the high school team," she said . A majority of East High volleyball players are on club teams during the off-season, proof of what both players said about the experience.
Shively loves the club tournaments that occur every weekend. The tournaments are all over so the club teams get to travel.
"I like how we get to travel and spend time with friends during tournaments because we are not constantly playing," she said. Shively also loves being on the high-school team because she gets to know girls from several grades, many of whom are in her classes.
"Definitely do club volleyball," she said. "You get competition in the off season and, if you don't have that, it is a lot harder to make the high school team the next year."

Like any other sport, basketball is about learning the fundamentals. With years of hard work and dedication, a team finds the intensity of the game. That is exactly what E a st Boys' JV and Varsity teams have done.
"You have to put madness into your method," said sophomore JV player Shane Watteyne. "It means being aggressive when you're doing your assignment on the court."
The boys spent tedious hours learning drills and plays, all to help the Spartans take another victory.
"We spend a lot of time together at practices so you get to know a lot of great players and work with them to make a great team," said junior Clayton Shepard, a Varsity player.
Getting to know your teammates on and off the court is the Spartans' key to success. Spending time together helps the teams find one of the many reasons they love playing for East.
"My favorite part of East basketball is definitely being able to play our own game but also being able to play the game our coaches taught us," said Watteyne.

The Freshmen and Reserve Bo ys Basketball teams ma y be the youngest at the school , but you can ' t ignore their talent! Deep into the season, the Freshmen team was undefeated and the Reserves weren ' t far behind.
"The best part is having a team that wins, but can have fun at the same time ," said Freshman Br yson Metcalf. Their record helped add to the excitement and pushed them to perform at each game.
Sophomore olan Kreifel , a Reser ve shooting guard, agrees that being a part of East basketball is a lot of fun.
" I like being able to be with friends after school and not just going home," Kreifels said.
Although Kreifels wanted the Reserve team to have a few more wins , he also mentioned the highlight for the team was beating Southwest four times. That's right four times!
Both teams worked hard every da y of their seasons , doing ever y thing they needed to do to win. So next time you think that the underclassmen have no game, look around and check out the Freshman and Reserve Bo ys Basketball teams.

Going out with a bang!
That's exactly what this year's Varsi~y and Junior Varsity Girls' Basketball teams focused on during the second half of the season.
"We started off the season good, had a few tough games, but we turned it around and finished the season strong," said senior Varsity player Jackie Osenbaugh.
One of the best parts about being a Girls' Basketball player, ironically, isn't even the basketball.
"It's a great way to spend your free time," said junior JV player Briley Moates. "The people involved make it very enjoyable."
"The best part about this year would definitely be Coach Corona's quotes," said Osen-
baugh, turning to one of the coaches for her favorite moments.
With 45 athletes involved, the Girls' Basketball teams were never not having fun. Both Moates and Osenbaugh agree that even though they've played basketball for years, playing for East's basketball is an experience in itself.
Spartan Girls Basketball not only has talented players, but extremely dedicated coaches, as well. "Coach Prichard is here at 7:30 a.m. every day over breaks, summer, etc. for the basketball players. He is a very dedicated coach," said Moates.
It will definitely be interesting to see what Coach Prichard's dedication will do for Spartan Girls' Basketball in the years to come.
'' They expect us to be better and work
Basketball is not an individual effort, no matter what way you look at it. It is a group effort. For Freshman player Emily Crouch and Reserve Rachel Macoubrie, that is evident.
In addition to the focus on team, Crouch has experienced lots of changes in her first year of high-school ball.
"The biggest change from middle to high school teams is the coaches," said Crouch. "They are a lot more strict."
For Macoubrie, the only things that have changed since last year are the expectations.
"Being on the Reserve team, they expect us to be better and work harder. It can be a little much," said Macoubrie.
Basketball is not a sport that you can easily do without trying. You have to work hard, even when it can be overwhelming. Those who love it, though, are willing to work at it.
"I am most definitely continuing through high school, unless of course something big gets in the way," said Crouch.
But for some that is not the case, "I think school is more important and basketball doesn't really work in my major." said Macoubrie, who wasn't sure she would play through high school.
And even though they have different thoughts on their futures in the sport, these two have one thing in common, "I just like basketball," said Crouch.
DSome may think that Cross Country is all about the ability to run long distances, but for senior Isaac Allen, it is so much more than that. For Allen, it also involves a disciplined mindset and strong goals.
"My goal was to be in the top five," Allen said. He topped that goal by winning State.
In fact, he even went above and beyond that goal: He ended up in the top five in every competition throughout the season.
"Isaac had a strategy going into the race, and he ended up exceeding that strategy," said Cross Country coach Kirk Skiles.
Allen also knew a good
attitude would help in meeting his goals. -
" I did expect it to make it that far, because I was consistently running in the top five," Allen said after taking gold.
Skiles wasn't surprised by Allen's success at State either.
" I saw him at the mile mark. He was in tenth, and he still looked fresh, " said Skiles. "Then I saw him when there was a mile and a half left and he had pulled · far in front of the pack and still looked fresh."
Allen set some high standards for future Spartan CrossCountry runners, something Skiles believes will inspire rather than intimidate them.
"They just need to train like champions," said Skiles.

Leading the pack is what the Girls Cross Country Team did all fall. They won meets all season long and ended up second at State. Freshman Alexis Altmaier took fourth at State while senior Sarah Dweikat took sixth
The girls worked hard six days a week every week. Their hard work was one of the reasons why they were so successful. However, so was friendship.
"Bonding has made us a better team," said senior Eajan Hsu. Altmaier said she loved practices, because she got to hang out with teammates.
"A lot of times during our runs, we will tell stories about previous years like chalking coaches' houses," she said.
The girls enjoyed activities o u tside of practice, too They had pasta feeds before meets, de-
signed shirts together, went out to eat after practices, and had a pool party. All these events helped the girls to connect with each other even more.
Still, it was hard to top the experience of running together.
"We bonded a lot while we ran because we're always together during the season and we shared the pain," said Hsu. Those shared experiences made the team into a close-knit family.
"Usually your best friends are the people who you run with," said Altmaier. Hsu agreed.
"If you're not close to your teammates then during the meets you don't cheer for each other as hard," she said. "Cross country is a team sport and it is not individual at all."

For most of us, swimming is just a summer pastime., a way to relax and get some sun. But for East's Girls Swimming and Diving team, it's a passion.
The girls made a big splash this season, finishing seventh at State. This year, the freshmen, along with returning members, worked hard in both their morning and afternoon practices.
"The new kids, along with re- • turning members make a stronger team together," said Coach Greg "Flem" Fleming.
Freshman Alexis Altmaier has made an impact on the team already. At State this year, she broke East's record in the 500 free style.
"It's not something that happens all the time. It's kinda cool, especially since I still have three years left to improve," Altmaier says. She also took gold in the 200 Individual Medley.
Another standout newcomer was Emma Ebito. Swimming runs in this freshman's family. Her older brother, Ethan Ebito who graduated last year, also swam for East. In fact, he is part of the reason she started swimming.
"I would always try to beat Ethan when we swam," Ebito joked. Coach Fleming is another rea -
son she started. He taught her ho to swim when she was 7 years old. Now, Ebito swims on other teams year round to keep in shape . .
Senior Megan Mihulka remembers how much work it took t o become an East diver. She joined the diving team when she was a freshman. Since then, she has become really close to her teammates , especially senior Katie Walls, who placed eighth in diving at state. They have been the only ones who have stuck with diving all four years.
"Diving has brought Katie and I a lot closer. We weren't that good of friends when it first started, but being with each other every day for 3 months allowed us to bond a lot more and become really good friends," Megan says.
With all her experience, Mihulka now helps the freshman adjust to the team.
"Usually when the freshmen come in, they _don't know what to do. So we just do our thing, and they'll follow us," Mihulka said. Newcomers and experienced members alike, the close bonds this remarkable group of talented swimmers and divers have developed makes them a team worth following.

For most of us, a quick dip in the pool means a leisurely swim. For seniors Isaac Iaquinta and Austin Kilgore, it means focus and pushing themselves to the limit. As members of the Boys Swim and Dive Team, they are familiar with the drive it takes to meet goals and the meaning of teamwork.
Kilgore, a diver, practiced everyday after school and Iaquinta, a swimmer, hits the pool before and after school, daily. Iaquinta says it's very important to use practi~e time wisely and the benefits are obvious.
"For me personally, it's been a pretty successful season," said Iaquinta, who credits his success to pushing himself in practices.
''I'm not the best swimmer on the team, but the hard work has definitely paid off," Iaquinta said. Kilgore agreed that practices can be pretty challenging, but rewarding, too.
"The hardest part of dive is when our coach makes us do our five hardest dives at practice," Kilgore said. He also said that those hard practices prepare the athletes both mentally and physically for meets.
''I'm not nervous [for meets]," he said. "I was last year, but it's
pretty chill this year."
While Swimming and Diving depend heavily on individual performances, members also have a huge understanding of team work.
"I focus on personal goals, but our motto is 'Team Above Self,"' said Iaquinta. Kilgore, Iaquinta and other seniors help their teammates by offering pointers an motivating each other in practices and at meets.
"Swimming is different than any other sport I've been in," said Iaquinta. "Especially since it's guys and girls , we do things together outside of practice and meets, so we bond."
This bond and sense of family gives the Swim and Dive team a serious edge. Coming together as one has left the competition eating East's bubbles!
This was evident at State Swim this year where East took second. Senior Keith Sponsler attributes their success to a great team and coach. As a senior, it was hard to say goodbye.
"It's bittersweet, I swam well, everyone swam well. Four years of being a Spartan swimmer made it hard to say goodbye."

The 2011-2012 Apolloriaires not only did the ordinary but also the extraordinary. Tradition has always been something the Apollonaires Dance Team has been based on, but this year they have looked for opportunities to try out new things, while still staying true to the traditions that make them the Lincoln East Apollonaires.
Brittany Hying, the Apollonaire sponsor, joined the squad in 20 IO after Galen Gaddie, sponsor for more than 10 years, retired. You could say she had a lot to uphold after so many years of tradition but she was ready to take on the challenge.
"I think you have to keep what works but update it into the 21st century," said Hying when explaining how she balances the old with the new.
She thought the maig difference from past years is her high expectations for each girl as a dancer and a person. She has stepped up tryouts and the level of each routine performed. Plus, she has added a porn routine to take to competitions which was not usually done for the jazz-based Apollonaires. Still Hying wants to "uphold Apol-
lonaire tradition."
"I just want to make sure I maintain what the girls like to do because it makes the experience memorable," Hying added.
Senior Captain Melissa Bavitz has definitely seen Hying's influence on the squad, bringing in lots of new ideas. However, like Hying wanted, her favorite traditions are still being practiced.
"I love doing 'We Love Our Squad'," said Bavitz.
"We Love Our Squad," a chant done before every game, is many of the girls' favorite thing that has been passed on through the years. For junior Jessi Sher, it was exciting to get to do it for the first time as a squad member' after watching her sister, Hannah, doing it when she was on the squad.
"I always thought it was the coolest thing," Sher said.
Through traditions, the Apollonaires have made many memories but ,-;-
it is also the differences between each squad that make every year special. So you never know what the Apollonaires will bring to the dance floor.
A family is people you can count on and have fun with forever. The 2011-2012 Spartan Cheerleaders describe themselves ·as one big, happy family with 21 Varsity girls and aJV squad of 12, including two who swing from Reserve. Just like a real family, it can get pretty crazy.
"There is a lot going on all the time , but you always have someone to talk to," said senior Megan Mihulka.
Many of the girls think the best part about cheer is forming friendships and getting to be with their best friends all the time.
Junior JV Cheerleader Ashley Thiesfeld--new to the cheerleading scene--appreciates those close bonds shaped by the activity.
"There's so many different people, and we're all friends," said Thiesfeld.
-Senior Courtney Brockman, a Southeast transfer, joined the squad this year. She tried out for cheer to be part of something as soon as she could. When she ended up making Varsity, she was ecstatic.
"I felt good because it showed I was just as good as girls on cheer for four years," said Brockman.
Even when Brockman had "no idea" of what she was doing, she could always ask for help from other squad members.
"We're all very close," said JV cheer captain Abby Wild. "My favorite part is the encouraging spirit."
Just like families, they work together to accomplish a task - the task of building Spartan spirit.

The power of school spirit reaches far and wide at East High. A great example of this could easily be seen during this year's cheerleading tryouts, when almost 100 girls competed for spots on one of four cheer squads.
Fortunately for freshmen Allison Black and Karsyn Bell, they made the cut on the Freshmen and Rese rve squads. New to East, both girls are also new to cheer.
"Every night I was practicing until ten with friends," said Black. After her tryout, she said she didn't feel confident enough to get ready to be kidnapped by returning members.
Bell however , said that she felt confident and tried to not worry about anyone else. In the end, their efforts proved successful, as Black made Freshmen squad and :&ell made Reserve squad. They now spend much of their time at prac-
tice, rehearsing eight counts and new cheers to perform at pep rallies and sporting events.
Both these girls agree: practicing alongside their friends is a superb way to spend their time.
"We've gotten to know each other more and learned to help each other's weaknesses," said Black. They encourage _everyone who's interested to give cheer a try.
"It's not just for girly girls," said Bell. " You don't have to be overly peppy all the time," Black also adds that cheering takes more knowledge than one would think, since you actually have to know about all the sports you cheer for.
Though new to the cheer sl'ene, these girls certainly understand what it takes to cheer and both are looking forward to spreading school spirit for the remainder of their high school experience.

"We are honored to be ranked that high."
They practice their serves.
. They run their drills, and they love the game.
The Boys Tennis Team's practices consist of working on skills mixed in with some fun.
Most of the team members have been pla ying tennis for years, including Varsity standout, Senoir Court Clark, and freshman Jacob Wenger. Clark has been playing since before he can remember, while Wenger started when he was 6. Still, Wenger was delighted to make Varsity
"I felt great. It was a big boost of confidence."
All the hard work paid off at State, where East took third.
"We are honored to be ranked that high," said tennis coach Jeff Hoham.
Clark, who has gone to State all four years of high school, said
that the best way to prepare is to keep it simple. For him, that means, "a good ,veek of practice and staying focused."
The team was like a tight kriit family, which also helped the players at State. Senior player Levi Stroup turned out at state to cheer on his teammates.
"We're always there for each other, as soon as somebody is done with a match, we cheer on another match," said Stroup.
State lasted two days in Omaha. Overall, East got third, with Wenger winning singles and Clark coming in second in singles. •
"Winning singles was a big relief off of my shoulders," said Wenger. The tennis team future looks bright with five of its six Varsity players returning next year.
Hoham said that next year should be very competitive.

For sophomore Reserve Michelle Olson, playing softball is a real commitment. She played with pain throughout the whole season.
"They are not sure what it is but they think it is tendinitis," Olson said. She had to ice her hips a lot after practice and to stretch out to keep loose.
"I try not to let it affect the way I play but sometimes the pain is just so great," said Olson. Her team was very supportive of her, helping her stretch out and getting ice for her. She doesn't let her hip problem affect her, though.
"I sometimes get sharp pains when I'm playing but I play through it," said Olson.
Spoken like a true athlete . Michelle Olson is willing to work through the pain for her team and for the sport.
These girls got a taste of victory this season, becoming City Champions, but they had to go through a few tournaments before they reached their full potential.
"We had to work really hard and put in a lot of effort in to the practices, " said junior Stephanie Schlatter, one of the infield captains. "It was an amazing feeling to win with the team." The coach was an important part of the team ' s success.
"Our coach (Kenny Cope) really stresses focus," said sophomore JV player Imani Wilson. "He could understand physical mistakes but he didn't like mental mistakes."
They worked hard to get to the city championship game, coming from behind in all three of their final games.
"It was very rewarding to win and having fun with the team," said Wilson.
Wrestling is a challenging sport, in which team goals are met through individual efforts. obody knows that better than senior Spencer Randazzo and junior Adam Willman, members of East's Wrestling team.
"There's team camaraderie," Randazzo said, focusing on his favorite parts of the sport. "When you work that hard with people that long, you form bonds with them."
Willman admitted that one of his favorite parts of wrestling is "messing with Randazzo. "
Both athletes found their start in wrestling thanks to older siblings.
"My older brother started wrestling his sophomore year," Randazzo said. "He inspired me to start."
Randazzo took si]ver at State this year, while Willman took third.
"Ho ly moly!" Randazzo said before the match. "This is my last wrestling match in high school!"
And how was getting the silver medal?
"It was surreal." Randazzo said. Nothing is as thrilling as the experience of getting out there, and taki;ng one for the team. " You start thinking about what you're going to ·do, and your heart starts racing." Willman said. "You start tuning out everything, likenothing else exists."
Although Randazzo admits he isn't too thrilled with how time-consuming the sport has been, and Willman finds running sprints less than entertaining, they both said they have taken major life lessons from their wrestling experiences.
"It shapes who you are," Willman said. "It definitely makes you a better person."
Randazzo agreed.
"I've gained life lessons from it, like perseverance. It's given me that never quit attitude."
Just another beautiful day on the golf course.
"My dad wanted a golfing partner. When he died it was his dream for me to play in high school."

East's Girls Golf had another memorable season, making it to State. They worked diligently to earn the title of state chamiopns.
"We had 12 girls this year and six had never competed before," said Coach B r1an B ullington. One of those newcomers was freshman Cassidy Lake.
"In August, I hadn't really played before," she said. The coaches knew what the y needed to work on to get the girls ready for both competitions and practices.
"We worked on the mental game," said Assistant Coach Mark Siske, "building their confidence."
The players spent hours working on both the mental aspect of the game and their range hitting.
" We did a lot of drills and worked with repetition of how we hit, " said sophomore India Utter.
The coaches worked with all the girls on different aspects of the game with the girls, such as their form when they swing, and what clubs to use.
"The y had me keep doing what I was doing and if we needed to fix something we would," said sophomore Elizabeth O'Doherty, one of the players who has played since she wa about ten. O'Doherty tied for sixth at State, while the team finished eighth overall.
From lowering their scores throughout the season to learning how to play the game competitively, the season was above par for all of the Spartan players. •

Dedication can be hard to come by, because it usually requires plenty of passion. Luckily for East's Hockey team, hardworking- and fervent players are plentiful. Most of the players have been putting energy into the game for years.
"I was four when I went
to my first game, and I start e · playing a week later," said se nior Chase Weidner.
He now plays for the Ea s t hockey team, and next year plans on playing junior hock ,~y in Peoria, Illinois. Weidner i s the definition of dedication. For guys with this much passion, Hockey is all they think about. He attends three clas s ~ s each day at East and then le~ves to go practice. Hespe r d three hours a day on the ice, even though the team only practices together one day a week.
"I have been doing·it for so long, it's my way to escap e ' said Weidner.
Freshman Skyler Halverson follows through.
Many of us have made a basket, scored a touchdown, or hit a spike. But how many of us have scored a turkey other than during Thanksgiving? The Lincoln East Bowling Team was scoring these three-strike wonders almost daily, which may be why they were State runners up this year.
Bowling is not taken lightly at East. The team has fun, but when it comes to matches, they are all business.
"At State, we were tied for first going into the tenth frame," said senior Shelby Clark. The Spartan Girls lost by only nine pins to state champs North Star.
Clark is no stranger to bowling. She has been at it since she was six. Still, there's always something to work on when it comes to a sport.
"The hardest thing would be picking up spares and adjusting to lane conditions," Clark said. She didn't seem to struggle too much this
season since she bowled the Girls' highest score of season: 253.
"It's not cool and it's not normal. But it's something different and fun to do, especially when you're good at it," said senior Chas Bussey. He has been a member of the team since his freshman year. He picked it up in 8th grade and has been playing the game since.
Aside from districts and state, this prestigious group of athletes competes in about 10 matches a season. This season, they won all but one match. The team met at Hollywood Bowl twice a week for practice. Teammates were always encouraging, helping each other improve.
The team has excelled this season, with the girls taking second at state. The girls were even tied going into the 9th frame of the last round.
The highlight of Senior Chas Bussey's season? "Kyle Warkow and I both bowled a 300 at practice. It was the first time ever for both of us!"
It's all about the trash talking and winning when it comes to East intramural football. Or so they say. These players have a passion for the game of football and a love of competition. Each game is played with the motivation of winning and the anticipation ef becoming the best team.
"My most memorable moment will be winning the championship this year," said senior captain Jack Sunderman. "Last year, we lost in a heart breaker."
Sunderman is not only his team's captain but also its quarterback, or "stud muffin," as he
