Almost all of us have a role model in life , J someone we look up to for advice, someone we wish to be like and to achieve what he S. or she has. For some, a role model proves that the _impossible is possible. On August 'S"7. 25, 20 l 2, the first man to walk on the moon passed away. Neil Armstrong's adventures into space made him a role model for many individuals. His first step on the moon left a lasting impression on people everywhere. For many it seNed as a symbol of following one's dreams, leaving something behind in this world, and making an impact. Not only did he leave a lasting , physical impression of his steps on the Moon , but he also left a legacy with his famous quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." This quote demonstrates how Armstrong was not only leaving an impression himself, but how his presence represented the entire planet Earth. His one small action of putting his foot on the moon led to other missions, further exploration, and more searches to answer questions about our universe, but his "giant leap for mankind" was an inspiration to many to reach for their dreams and leave their mark on this earth. Leaving a mark, doing something that everyone will remember for years to come, is what we all aim to do. Whether we leave our mark in a sporting event and achieving a new

school record, presenting an ward winning j speech, or just being a great influence on l someone, we all make an impression in som(/ way or another. It doesn't matter how our mark is left, we all want to be remembered fc what we do.
At Lincoln Northeast High School, students leave impressions in many ways. New students coming into their first year at Northeast often worry if they will make any new friends, so they try to make a good first impression on other students they will meet. First impressions are important, and can sometimes determine how the rest of a stu- ; dent's high school career will play out A gooc first impression can lead to friendships being made, new sports or clubs being trie~, and many other adventures along the way. Students already familiar with Northern· leave lasting impressions on others by showing new students how traditions are carried out and conducting themselves responsibly outside of school. These impressions that we leave at Northeast can follow us through our whole school career until we walk across the stage and get diplomas , letting the next episode in our lives begin, where giant leaps car be made.

"Who so neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead to the future." This quote by Euripides displays the power of knowledge and learning. The value of learning is extremely important. Its gets us through each day and to where we want to go in the future. Knowledge of a certain or any subject is key to success.
At Lincoln Northeast High School, the wide variety of classes allows students to learn about numerous subjects that may lead to their career path. Learning a language can help students develop relationships with people from other countries in the future that may work with them. Taking a CAD class may lead to a student making the next top-of-the-
line building. Any class that a student takes at Northeast will help them toward being a • more knowledgeable, well-educated student. It also helps them become a better human being because like Euripides says, without learning one is dead to society.
To move forward, to be useful, one must continue learning, experimenting, designing, and trying new things. She must make a difference in the world, and make her own impression. He must use what he has learned already to help him advance and carry on in the future.

{ Academically successful students at , LNE were chosen to be recognized in the Rocket as the best in their field by their teachers. The fields include '-(t-- --' Social Studies, Physical Education , --:-' Art , Industrial Tech , Math and Eng• lish, and Business. These students r from each field are to be congratu-
lated for their hard work.
' These students achieve their goals. They make sure that they undestand everything they are learning, asking questions for clarification. They might even stay after school if they need extra help . They have made the choice to set aside the cellphone and the laptop , to put down the video game controller, and to work on a project or study for a test.
Sometimes, a subject or a skill comes easy to a person. Usually, the people who are the best are not the ones who have it the easiest. Being the best comes to those who work the hardest, go the farthest, and put in the longest hours.
These proud Rockets strive to be the best, and through hard work they have accomplished that.

~he many benefits of taking a business class are it teaches you real lessons about what the orld is like. It gives you some pointers on how to start your own business someday. Another benefit of taking a business class is it gives you experience with working with computers. This benefits you because it exposes you to the number one college major.
Here at LNE we have an after school program called Future Business Leaders of ~merica (FBLA) which is sponsored by the business department. During this afterschool club, students perform different kinds of community seNice. Not only do they feel good about lending a hand, but they also help improve our community. FBLA students are able to participate and compete in local and state conferences. In addition the students are exposed to local businesses, which can
help them in the future!
According to Mrs. Wolken, Mrs. Childers, Mr. Fogler, and Mr. Mercer, the best aspects or benefits of being a busines teacher is seeing how their lessons apply with real life. It teaches you the basic skills o f budgeting and balancing a checkbook, as well as lessons on buying insurance, creatin , a resume, and getting a letter of reference . There are a variety of reasons why students are drawn to a business class. Ma y people want to learn about our society and how it works, or what sort of businesses are cut there. Others know that business classes ca n provide background and experience in ca e they want to start their own business someday.

Even though English classes are required to graduate, they are also beneficial for learning life skills. Some life skills learned in English are writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, communication, and one of the most beneficial: reading. All English classes require reading: English 9, English l 0, Composition, Advanced Composition, AP Lang/Comp, AP Lit/ Comp, College Composition, American Literature, Holocaust Literature, and Oral Communications. Every student reads during high school. Whether they are reading Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare • in English 9, or Good Readers and Good Writers by Vladimir Nabokov in AP Lang/Comp, students will benefit from reading. According to Mrs. Snyder, who teaches a reading class, reading is important because it gives you knowledge. \\It helps create knowledge in a certain area," she says. \\Students can make personal connections to the story and build background knowledge."
Mrs. Marker states, \\Reading benefits students in high school because it helps them \\make decisions" and \1hink critically."She adds, \\With reading, there are an unlimited number of perspectives and ideas available." Mrs. Marker is a Reading Ideas, English 9, English l 0, and Holocaust Lit teacher. She says, \\By exposing students to different points of view, it helps them analyze the world they live in."
So while Romeo an d Juliet and The Odyssey may not be the most fun to read, keep in mind that it will help in the long run. Also, remember that sometimes you have to read the boring stuff to get to the exciting stuff .

Here at LNE, we have three classes that are in industrial tech. There's auto tech, which is all about cars and how th -ey work. The students actually learn about the engine and how everything works, and eventually the class fixes cars. The second class is pre-engineering, and it's a dual credit class. If yoL like computers and cell phones, this is a great class to take. It teaches you about microchips and how these inventions became real. The third class is woodshop, this is a class where the students become physically engaged ir building things out of wood, such as dog houses or even a shed. They also might do little projects such as bird houses or a picture frame.
The students of LNE love the industrial technology classes. They really help you to learn about real life things like how to fix your car, or to build a tree house and to even learn how to fix your computer. High school is full 0 1 memories, and the classes that you enjoy most are the classes that you lea ' , with the most memories. If your interested in industrial tech, sign up next ye Jr for a class, and enjoy a lifetime of amazing memories.

Science has many different subjects, ·such as Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Astronomy, Geoscince, Physical Science, and many more. Being in high school, you learn so many things that you never though you would learn. From planets to chemicals, there's so many things to know. Starting from freshman year, you ave to take physical science, geoscience, biology, and then chemistry. After you finish those you can advance up into higher classes. The teachers really make the classs, they give you a way to enjoy the class. Including, Mrs. Martin, Mr. Skoda, Mr. Cannot, and many more. If you go ack to when just plain old "science" began and then move forward and try to define when "modern science" egan, you will find that there are many ambiguities, differing opinions, and even differing historical accounts. Both science, and whatever you mean by "modern" science, had many beginnings, probably at different times ·n different places. For example, you could say that modern science began during the European Enlightenment eriod, but it began in Ancient Greece and Egypt man centuries betore that, and it began in China and Persia at different times as well. As you can tell, we need science in ur lives even though not everybody enjoys it. It is something that is used every day and used by everyone.

Here at Lincoln Northeast we have a hallway or two full of social studies classrooms. From U.S. History to World History, there are many departments f social studies. The teachers make he classes, including Mr. Brooks, Mrs Howell, Mrs. Janssen, and etc. You are always busy in a history class, ou never sit there and do nothing. here is always something new to learn. Here at Northeast and every ther high school, history classes are needed every year to graduate. here's culture, time, community, change, people, places, environment, individual development,
and identity, power, authority, governance, and many, many more sub·ects in social studies. Every day there is something new to be learned and o be taught. Teachers enjoy teaching this subject and showing us what happened in the past. Not a day goes by that history is learned or history is made. From sports to politics, social studies is a daily thing, history is the main thing. Social Studies is really im.: portant to learn, thanks to our teachers here at Northeast we can learn it. Learning these things are beneficial or us and we need these classes to graduate.

If you were to walk into Lincoln Northeast during the week of Homecoming, you would think the ·students here were some nerdy and colorful people. This year's themes for Spirit Week were Nerd Day, Blast from the Past, Crayon Day, Twfn Day and traditional Black and White Day. Students always have fun dressing up and showing school spirit during the week of Homecoming . This year the Homecoming game was played against Pius X on Octo-
ber 4, 2012. One of the highlights of spirit week was Twin Day. Many students thought of some creat ive twin ideas. One of the more creative was when seniors Kassidy Sullivan , Devin Edwards and junior Toni Tupper showed up in f ootie pajamas and their hair sticking straight up. Everyone was so suprised when they saw them. In all spirit week is probably one of the
best weeks in the scho®l12_( L •a 1 : 1 _ vear. v Ac..f-. 4, wk1n1

•Teamwork and cooperation are key in every team; without it everything falls apart. These two components can either make or break a softball season. For the JV and Reserve softball teams this year, though they didn't have the best season they could have hoped for, they all played together and made great strides towards success. Even if one of the girls was hurt and couldn't actually play, that girl still made it to pr9ctices and games to come support her fellow team members.
On the JV team, Maddi Kettler was out most of the season due to a broken ankle. Even without being able to play for most of the season, lots of the players on her team thought that she showed great dedication by showing up even though she wasn't playing. She showed her team that she cared for them and wanted them
to succeed even if all she could do was watch from the dugout.
On the Reserve team, injuries weren't much of an issue for the team. This team came to practice everyday ready to improve and get better. Reserve player Olivia Rall stated, along with many other players on the team, that the person who has made the biggest impact on her was Coach London. She was encouraging, nice to all the players, and helped them become better softball players. Both of these closely knit teams came to practice ready to get better and make th e most out of this season. They held each other accountable and didn't let each other get down. Win or lose, they were a team that stuck together.
"This year was not what I hod hoped for considering the fad that we hod o losing season however, what the grl~ \ gained in terms of skill and expperience makes up for every loss we hod. Im proud of the way the girls imprO\ ed and never gave up especially when their bocks were against the wall. Each and every one of them brought something special to the team and moments I'll never forget."--Leondro London

It was an incredible year for the boy's tennis team. Each hit and swing was memorable because of the dedication put forth into the sport. Each player had a role to play, and that role was to make the Rockets proud. It was not always just for the team either, each individual player wanted to prove to themselves that they could achieve their goals by winning against their opponent. However, as a group they stuck together to help and cheer each other on when they felt a teammate was going through a tough match . Varsity tennis player Dakoda Kilzer says " The best thing about tennis this year was the team and the amazing bonding time they had with each other, also the competition was fun yet was hard since other players played since they were 5."

JV and Reserve tennis boys endure many t ( )UQh nd rigorous matches, but they still had the strength to finish e ach ame with pride and dignity.

Team Work: "work done by several associates with each doing a part but all subrdinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole." This year's underclassmen teams had a fairly good season combined. Team work was a major factor in the uccess of the season. When talking to many of the girls they describe the 2012-2013 eason as a stepping block to the next level and a year to improve. The girls couldn't have made that step without the teams sticking together. They bonded as a team and never had a dull moment. Each girl knew they could feel comfortable with one other nd could push each other to improve their skills. Most girls expressed that they wouldn't have picked a different team if they could have and hoped that they could stick toether and improve together to take the LNE girls basketball team back to the top.

bAs this year's Varsity Swimming and Diving began, the team noticed one thing, there were a lot of new faces. Lots of people were wondering in anticipation for what the season had in store. Were the new freshman going to prove themselves valuable assets to the team? Even though the team didn't know eachother very well at the beginning of the season, they grew to know each other well and became close like family. They were all supportive of each other and cheered . their teammates on . As the season unraveled, each meet showed improvement in the team. In diving, scores kept getting better, and in swimming, times kept dropping. Just in the first couple of meets, Freshman Linzie Kreizel got an automatic qualification to state in the 200 IM, and Freshman Austin Alexander also
qualified for state in diving.
Through the continuation of the $eason, more people and relays qualified for state . One of the best meets for the Swim and Dive team was the first d a , of the Heartland Athletic Conference meet. Times were improving through every race. Senior Brian Edwards qualified for state with a time of 55:08, and the girls 400 Free Relay dropped five se conds off of their relay from the first day t c the second day of competition.
Though the season may not have gone as planned, the team improved and grew close. Teammates each showed support for one another and believed in each other to do great, in practice and competition. No matter what, they were a team, a family.

Hard work, dedication, perseverance, and persistence. This year the Varsity Wrestling team used all of these qualities to put together a well rounded season. "The year started off a little rough," stated Junior Robert Morris, but each meet one could tell that they were improving. With- every meet, each of the wrestlers showed that they were determined to give everything they had. They left the mat, win or lose, knowing they gave everything they had. One of the best experiences this year for Senior Joe Remaklus was going to state and getting his l 00th win in his career. After he got his l 00th win, he looked up into the crowd and at his coaches and saw them wearing pink shirts with his face and the number l 00 on them. He finished his season off getting second at state. This moment was one that he will never forget. Though the team may not have gotten as many wins as they had wished for, each member knew that all the hard work that they put into the practices and the matches would pay off in the end. This year was considered a building year for the team and they just focused on getting better. Teammates pushed each other and cheered each other on. A team, a family, moving forward together.
TAdrenaline pumps through each of the guys bodies as it is time for the wrestling match. The first weight is called and the meet is about to start. Wrestlers step onto the mat and shake each others hand. Members of the Lincoln Northeast Freshmen and Junior Varsity team cheer on their teammates as they each try to take down their opponent. Freshman Jerrel Fox said that one thing that the whole team improved on was "actually becoming a team and family."This year these teams worked a lot on conditioning and outlasting their opponents on the mat. When asked what the team improved on as a whole, lots of wrestlers responded with the conditioning. This year as the season went on, both of the teams got better, both physically wrestling
and preparing themselves mentally for ea c of the matches. Freshman Tanner Bodfield said "One of our teams biggest challenges was against Creighton Prep because everyone got scared." But then stated by Trey Pi er and Jesse Burianek one thing that the tearn improved on over the season was "self con i- . dence and believing in ourselves." The tea rn s also were very close and helped each oth E1 r get better. They each made an impact on each other in some way or another. Whetrer win or lose they each held their teammate ~ accountable. Together as a team, they fought to win and get better.

Larissa Huffman said, "My most memorable moment was when I scored two 200's in a row because I proved myself in getting a high score.
The first person to bow 1 a perfect score was a ten year old boy. A perfect score would be bowling a final score of 300.

or many athletes, there is nothing more rewarding that a king the varsity team. All of their hard work and dedicaion has paid off, and they are ready to put their all into he game. For much of the varsity girls soccer team, this is exactly the feeling they get as well. Through all of those onditioning practices, they finally get to live the dream nd play the game they love: soccer. This sense of pride nd accomplishment carries on throughout the entire seaon, pushing them to do their best. However, the weather ometimes turns sour due to the unpredictability of spring, utting a "damper'' on the mood (no pun intended.) To et some extra motivation, the coaches are always there o help. Ms. Hiller, the Varsity Girls' Soccer Coach, says her avorite way to motivate the girls is by, "challenging them o work harder than the one girl they are marking. I try to alk about the small aspects of the game that we can
control and how we can improve those."
Muddy cleats and all, the varsity girls soccer players always come out of every game with more drive and motivation for the next game Coach Hiller says the most rewarding part about coaching is, "getting know the soccer girls on another level, outside of a typical classroom setting. I enjoy challenging them to work harder and relating aspects of being an athlete to. becoming better people both on and off the field." No matter how many wins or losses, the girls should feel proud of what they have done. They have represented Northeast well. For those looking to get in on this action next year, Coach Hiller says, "Be prepared to work hard. Be prepared for all types of weather. Most importantly, get involved with us this summer with our summer clinic and summer league games. Also, academics are a must, so get your grades in order."
Q: What is your favorite port about ploying soccer?
A I love the girls that I ploy with. As for the oduol game, I like the pep talk that Cooch Hiller gives before every game. It gives me alot of motivation.
During the soccer season, soccer players work hard, practice hard, and play hard. hey make new friends and new memories. Many soccer players portray similar qualities, but most of all; they share a passion for the game of soccer. Coach Marco Pedroza says, "I have grown up with the sport of soccer my entire life. I truly have a passion for coaching he game."
Coach Pedroza also says that his girls soccer players are good students as well: "I continue o encourage them to make sure they make it to class on time and get their work done. I always tell them that being a student comes first before being an athlete." Juggling a sport and homework is not always easy, but the girls are doing a great job of keeping up with both. Overall, the girls soccer players have done a fantastic job this season. They have learned a lot and have stayed determined to play as best as they can throughout the season.

he Reserve Girls Soccer team is a great team to be on o learn the game of soccer, make new friends, and ork hard. "It is always great to see others interested in he game of soccer," Coach Marco Pedroza says. Soccer players learn a lot about themselves and a lot about life during the soccer season. Coach Pedroza alays tries to keep his girls soccer players encouraged: "Sometimes it is easy to get discouraged by defeat in he game and in life. However, my players have done an excellent job of dealing with adversity both on and off the field. I just stay positive and encourage them every moment I can!"
t the end of the soccer season, the girls soccer players will always remember the lessons they have learned and how hard they have worked. Their determination and love for the game of soccer will continue to stay hrough the rest of their high school years.

l, 2, 3 Rockets! This year, the boy's soccer program gets a major twist as the coaches gets thrown around for every level. The former varsity coach, Coach Weiss, had left for an unexpected opportunity, but he says that deep down he will always be a Rocket. The new varsity coach is former JV coach, Chris Simley. Coach Simley has climbed the levels in coaching. Starting from reserve, he climbed his way up to JV two years ago and, this year, makes his det?ut as varsity coach . Michael Mason has also made a very large climb. Two years ago, he made his debut as the boy's reserve soccer coach, and, this year, he is the JV and reserve soccer coach. In between those years, he has also been a coach for the goalies on every level. Every year, the boy's soccer program is making bigger and better improvements to be competitive. a were your 1mpress1ons o e soccer season.

Love. In the sport of tennis, this word can have two meanings. It can be talking about the actual enjoyment of the sport, the love of being outside on a nice sprir)g day and being able to play tennis outside in the sun. It can also mean the actual score that one can have if they haven't made any points.
This year, the Girls Varsity Tennis team experienced both of these loves over the course of the season. The team this year was made up of mostly seniors, only one, Jadeyn PalmerHahn, returning from last year's Varsity squad. With bad weather, this year's season started off shaky with not very many practices. However, this did not bring the girls down. As the season progressed though, the team found their groove and improved with each match that they played. Through every gam~ played, one could tell that the girls tennis team was getting better. One of the best parts of the season was "traveling to all of the meets with my teammates," said senior Amber Carlson. The team bonded in many ways through this and became a close knit group. Though at some points of the season the Rockets had a score of love, it just encouraged them to work harder. They encouraged each other through each match.
The tennis team loved being able to play when they could and enjoying the sport they loved. No matter win or lose, these girls were in it together and never gave up.

This spring, the Girls JV and Reserve tennis teams overcame inexperience and in the end showed great improvement. At the beginning of the season, there was still no Reserve coach. so there were many questions on who that would be. Mr. Bartek soon took up this position. He proved to be great for the job.
• Unfortunately, as a result of mother nature, lots of matches had to be rescheduled or got cancelled. This made it difficult to get practices in and improve on skills. However, when the weather finally did let up and allow for them to
practice and play, both the JV and Reserve teams got better with each d y. Everything from their serves to their ba c khands got better and stronger. Fresh m n Anna Carlson stated, \\I thought that t h ., season went good and I really enjoye c: it."
When anyone went to one of these girls' tennis matches, one could tell that they were having fun. There we definitely competition each time they engaged their opponent, and there
continue to be in the coming years.

here are many variables which make up he swing. The golf club used makes a large difference in the swing. These clubs . include the driver, iron, wedge, and the putter. Although form is important, no two people have the same swing.
Interesting Rules:
1 .) If a bird picks up your ball, you get a ree drop.
2.) You can climb up trees to hit your ball if needed.
3.) The wind blowing the ball and moving it while it is sitting on the green is a stroke penalty against you.
Commonly referred to as the turf grass, the grass on the golf field varies greatly. The longest grass on the course is known as "the rough." It is suggested to hit irons out of the rough. The next layer is the fairway. Any club can be hitten of this due to ifs flatness. Next, is the fringe which only appears near the green. Players can choose to chip or putt. Finally, it is the green which slopes and varies with speed depending on the course.

'We make it look easy, but like a ports, it takes hard work and dedication," said junior Catherine Tran about the 2012-2013 Varsity cheer squad. This year's squad consisted of ·six seniors, four juniors, and four sophomores, making up a unique squad of fourteen. Cheerleading takes up a lot of one's time, and being around the same girls day and night can form strong bonds between the girls. "With this being only my second year cheering, and my first year on Varsity, I didn't quite know what to expect. What I got was fourteen incredible girls that I wouldn't hesitate to call my best friends, and one amazing team that I wouldn't trade for anything," senior Dyna Orthengren commented on the subject. The entire Northeast cheer squad went to their annual NCA cheer camp in Okoboji, Iowa, where they stayed for four days learning new dances and cheers to perform. This year, the team brought home four spirit sticks, three All-Americans, the NCA spirit award, and also won their division in the Champion Chant. This years Varsity team also went to state and brought home the Spirit Award, which is voted upon and awarded to the school that has the most spirit. Like any other team, the Varsity cheerleaders have had some hardships, but overcame those to make a remarkable team."As my last year cheering, I'm glad I got the opportunity to be on this squad." senior McKenna Newman added.

This year's Junior Varsity and Fresh m an squads·consisted of seventeen talented girls striving for success. The JV team had three Juniors, fiv e Sophomores, and two Freshman ; the Freshman team having seven Freshman girls. Both teams participated in a NCA cheer cam in June, bringing home a total of seven spirit sticks, six All- America n nominations, and two superior rib t ions one for each team, for their hard work. Throughout the year these g is practiced hard and got to show c f all of their hard work at every foot t II, volleyball, and basketball game, . along with a few wrestling meets. When questioned about the seas , Junior Sierra Gable commented, ' t was a good season. We always g c,t along and have had a good tim e together ."

hen you have a team with only five returners and twelve new girls you never know how your eason is going to turn out. The long four-hour practices every week, learning more and more, hoping for success when it comes around to ompetition season. When it came around to ur first competition we knew that it was go time. e needed to focus on what we wanted to chieve that week. We put in two four-hour night practices and a morning practice preparing for hat was to come. Instead of going to Harvest f Harmony like the band has every year, we all chose to try out a new competition, which was LSE. At'this event we had state judges to grade us on what we needed to work on for when it came to NSBA. We went in without having a
third song and only learning our fourth-song the week before. All of the girls were nervous and had no idea what to suspect due to the fact we didn't have a finished show. Even though our show wasn't finished, we went in with our heads he ld high and gave the show our all. In the end, we placed second beating Omaha Burke, which is a nationally ranked team and only falling behind Bellevue East by sixteen points. It was a feeling that was so emotional that we all began to cry. Our choreographer Jayson Ross said, "You girls did it, you did yourself proud!" Our guard went in achieved exactly what we wanted. Being together for so many hours we learned a lot about each other and became more of a family instead of just a team.

Some say that being involved in a music program is an experience that is unparalleled to anything else that is offered in public schools. With all the time, hardwork, and energy that is spent working to become an lite ensemble, its no wonder that students orm such close knit relationships with each ther and with the directors. Throughout the ear, an ensemble becomes like a family hat you can always trust to fall back to, and he LNE Marching Band is a perfect example . The LNE Marching Rockets started off the band year in early August, taking time out of heir summers to work on music and marching so that this year's "Babylonia" halftime show would be one of the best ones yet. By
attending out of school rehearsals and practicing hard, they accomplished the ir goals. The band attended a total of thre e marching competitions, which included t e l st Annual Southeast Marching Band Co r 1-
petition, where the band came in 6th pl c.: e.
The band then proceeded to take -a Sup t.rior rating at the LPS Marching Competiti c 1, and ended the year by playing at the NS ,A Competition in Millard South with a Excel l! nt rating. Besides marching in competition , 1e band has also played the halftime show Jr every LNE Varsity Football home game, a well as playing in the stands for home g o 1es and some away games.

What do you get when you have d wild stormy night where a mysterious vagabond, a woman, and the state govenor and his family have been suspected of a crime? That would be the maNelous play put on by the LNE drama department this fall. The Tavern was put on October 9th-12th, 201 2 at 7: 30pm in the Northeast Drama Center. The cast and crew put on a great show for each nights performance. "It is a great feeling
to have the audience light up with laughter or get them to sit on the edge of their seats in suspense on the opening night," senior Natalie Henning said when asked about the play. She played the role of the Govenor's wife, Mrs. Lamson, using her vocal skills to help flesh out the charatcter. "One sees the art of theatre come together beautifully," Natalie also added. The audience was pleased to see that art, as well

The spring play, Seven Keys to Bald pate, was held at the Northeast Drama Center from March 5-8. The play is about a man named William Hallowell Magee who goes to the Baldpate Inn to write a book in peace. He thinks that he has the only key to Baldpate, but throughout the night mysterious visitors come to the inn, revealing six more keys. The play concludes in a surprised and twisted ending.
Director Mr. Chapman's favorite
part about the play is the ending. "My favorite part of the performance is when the villain's schemes start to unravel
About how much preparation goes into making aploy?
A lot of work is p Jt into a play.

Really, when we leave Northeast at the end of this year, or next, or whenever we leave, it won't be the year that the Magna Carta was signed that will stick with us. We probably won't remember how to solve a matrix or find the theme of a short story. We will remember some silly thing our best friend did in gym class, and we'll stick with the people who have become our friends for life.

As senior year comes to a bittersweet end, everyone starts to remember everything that has happened the last four years. Yo think about all the mistakes that you made and all the good time you've had. For some all you have to worry about your senior ye is doing the GOPO packets and getting community services hou r:done on time, but for others it may be a bit more laid back b ecause you only have four classes and don't really have anythin c1 to worry about. When it comes to friends you want to cherish th f i ones that have stuck by your side the last four years and keep th E ones you've gained on your journey for what is to come. As every thing starts to wrap up and come to an end you think about all th . important people in your life, such as friends, family, and teac h . ers. Having to say goodbye to them at some point is going to b <• • tough, but what the future holds for each individual is indefinite Good luck to the senior class of 2013!

Whats so great about being a sophomore? Some people would argue that there is nothing good about being sophomores, you can't go out to lunch, yO' ir still treated practically like a child, and there's still a long ways left of high sch o > I. Well, Being a sophomore means the year of the drivers test! Getting your licen , e is one of the most memorable days of your life . And Sophomore's get to expi Eence the thrill of being first time driver's. Although most students park in !he lot , there is a specific place for sophomores to park, sophomore hill of course! Its hard to get a parking pass in the middle of the year, and irs kind of pointless, because if your not early, your left to parking at the way end of the lot. Anoth E • good thing about being a sophomore is your two years closer to graduating, and then the life of adult hood comes along. Enjoy the high school years you have, because once your out of high school, you'll wish you were back in it.

Lots of people make up the staff here at Northeast High chool. Sure there's teachers, but many times people forget bout the other people working to make our lives be~er ustodians are keeping our hallways clean and sanitary. he ladies in the office keep all of our records safe, deal with ttendance , and help the upperclassmen with their parking decals. Many people also forget about the school bookeepr who is in charge of our funds and obligations. The cooks in he cafeteria , without them , where would we get our meals? Not only do they make us our lunches, but they also provide breakfast to those who want it. Yet another part of the Northast staff, security guards. They are what makes Northeast safe place to be. Every day, each member of our staff is oing something different, but all of these people all have ne thing in common They love what they do . So remember o thank the teachers, security guards, secretaries, and all the ther faculty working here at Northeast. After all , what would e do without them?

Getting involved is the best way to feel a part of a community. The sense of being a part of something. In order to meet new people, make new friends, work with the community, and learn life long skills, many students at Lincoln Northeast decide to join clubs. Here at Northeast, the variety of clubs allow students the opportunity to express themselves the way that is most fitting to who they are. Clubs o numerous activities for the community, including, gathering food for the People ' s City Mission, utting on events to help students, paintin for the community, hanging wreaths on gra and many more. Skills learned while in these clubs are not just helpful at the time, bu are also useful down the road. Student's dedication to these clubs is igh, as they are encouraged to attend meetings b fore or after school. When a club

Though each club is advised by a teacher, most of the planning and work carried out is done by the students. Students learn responsibility, leadership, and learning to communicate with others, not just their peers.
This experience of being a part of a club not only leaves an impression on the student, since they are a member, but it also leaves an impact on the people that the student meets as well. Students are left with _ the impressions of the friends they made, the knowledge they gained, and the experiences they had. But these club members also get to make an impression on others in the school and community by being able to reach out in any way they could and by getting involved.

High school students have a busy schedule as it is. M~ny 0 1 involved with multiple athletics and extra curricular activities ou1 side of school, on top of holding a part time job. This can be csj i· ficult for some, but our students here at Northeast aren't afraid c: the challenge. You can find our students working at. many plac , throughout the community, such as HyVee, Super Saver, Westfi t: Mall, Subway, Runza, Jet Splash, McDonald's, and much more Even though having to juggle school and work can be tough o • high school students, it gives them some extra cash in their poc I ets, helps teach them responsibility, and prepares them for the real "working world" outside of high school.

Being a member of the Yearbook staff comes with its share of advantages. You learn a lot about different people at school. You interact with people you might never meet or hang out with because you have to talk to them for a story, or because you have to work with them on staff.
This year's staff was a little smaller than in past years, so each staff member was required to do a little more work. Through snow days and testing schedules, fire drills and lock downs, The Rocket staff kept their focus on getting stories written, pictures taken, or interviews finished.
That is not to say that it was all work and no play. Another advantage of being on yearbook staff is that most days, things are pretty laid back. From listening to music occasionally to (usually) monthly birthday celebrations, we had our share of good ~JQN's.o" t Allis.or\ Tt'ipl~

Now is a time to look to the future, for sure, but it is also important to look back into the past, to remember who wewere and what we accomplished in our time ·here at LNE. All of us, whether we are moving on to greater challenges beyond the walls of our alma mater or returning for a few mote semesters in these familiar classrooms, should remember this year All of us, regardless of who we are, what we did, or where we are going, has had a part, large or small, in making the 2012-2013 school year what it has been. All of us, in some way or another, has left his or her mark on the school.
Finally, each of us who are moving away from high school and into the early stages of our grown up lives should continue to strive to make an impression on those around us. We have immense power within ourselves to work for good or for ill. Every choice that we make reflects on us in some way, from the words that we use to the way that we vote, and from the things that we buy to the food that we eat. The future is in our hands--the future of a new world is ours to build.
