Team makes school history; Wins 10 straight

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

This year 's varsity football team used talent and dedication to post the first 10-win season in school history.

Coach Mark King said it best: "Our team unity and effort was excellent all throughout the season ."

This year had its share of emotional moments.

Trevor Johnson, Lincoln Journal-Star and Omaha World Herald all state selection and defensive Player of the Year, accepted a football scholarship offer from Nebraska.

"I was very happy when Coach King gave me the news. Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamed of playing for Nebraska, " Johnson said.

One of the most emotional games was against Millard North, which came into the game undefeated , ranked number one in the state, 17th nationally and full of confidence.

It was a cold , rainy, mid-October night at a muddy Seacrest Field. Millard North led 6-0 late in the game when Seth Tucker capped a long, time consuming drive with his only touchdown reception of the year. The PAT by Andy Lawrence gave North-

east a 7-6 lead. Millard North got the ball back but could do nothing.

" It was unexplainable. Everything happened in slow motion. I will definitely remember that moment for the rest of my life," said Tucker.

After the game, fans stormed the muddy field and joined the players in celebration. Everyone was wet , dirty and cold but no one cared. It was a very emotional moment for both the players and fans. "After the game, we knewwewere#1 and it was a great feeling," said Johnson.

It was a loss to Millard West that snapped their 10-game winning streak and ended hopes of a rematch against cross-town rival Southeast in the state title game. Even though the players were heartbroken after the loss to the Wildcats, they still have many positive things to look back on.

Each player was a piece of a puzzle that may never be duplicated. The 1998 varsity football team will be remembered as an elite team in Northeast football history.

Self Confidence Leads To Successful Season

By Jason Chambers SPORTS STAFF

This year the junior varsity football team accomplished many goals. The team focused on beating Pius X , because they have never beaten them, and they did it in convincing fashion, winning 14-0. They were set on winning at least half of their games and they accomplished it, finishing 4-4. There were a lot of funny moments too. "I liked listening to Evan Ewoldsen play his

stomach ," said Jimmy Motz.

Coach Jim Danson said, "Sports give kids a sense of belonging to an organization, and that will make them better people "

The team had a motto that they said before games: "We will win, we think it, we believe it, we feel it."

"The season was a lot of fun because we had a great team," said Casey Votava. The team did very well and many players look to move up.

Close Win Over East Caps Reserve Season

By Jay Landstrom SPORTS STAFF

The reserve football team had its most wins in many years, ending with a 3-4 record, the biggest coming in a 12-9 win against East.

"The win over East was definitely the biggest of the year," said lineman Dillon Krumm.

Their goals at the start of the season were to have a shutout and produce a winning season.

"Even though we didn't reach any of our goals we still improved throughout the year," Krumm said. "Everybody

worked hard. We were very satisfied with the season."

This year's reserve team was very close and by dedication and hard work in the off season, this group should be a force in years to come.

Freshman Teams Work Hard, Have Fun, Despite 3-11 Combined Record

By Danny Vanourney

SPORTS EDITOR

The freshman black and white football teams both had a roller-coaster ride of a year The two teams finished a combined 3-11

Although each team did not win as many games as they wished, both teams improved throughout the year.

"We really improved on our tackling throughout the year," said Chanz Johnson.

A b ig factor that contributed to win totals were injuries. Ryan Moore and Brian Coll ins , both starters , broke their collarbone. The other problem was the number of freshmen who went out for football as only 25-26 showed up for this season.

One of the highlights of the year was a fat man contest put on by the players. The winners of that contest were Brett Landstrom, Justin Irons and Chris Galitz.

Despite the records, everyone handled adversity and played hard throughout the year.

Record-Setting Season Ends With Setback To Millard West

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

This year's state football playoffs were different from years past. Northeast had the top seed and also won their first playoff game in years.

The road to the state semifinal round started on a hot and muggy Friday night in early September when the Rockets faced crosstown rival Southeast.

The game against the Knights started out on a high note when rush end Trevor Johnson scooped up a fumble near midfield and ran it back for a touchdown to give Northeast an early lead. But , throughout the course of the game, turnovers, penalties and a successful Ty Gifford fake punt led the Knights to a 23-14 victory.

"We had some nervous players who didn't have much or any experience playing on varsity and the hype of the game made it even harder for them to perform at their normal level," said Johnson.

The next big game for Northeast came against Creighton Prep. The Junior Jays featured a dangerous passing attack which Northeast had struggled against. The Rockets stepped up their defense in a 17-14 win.

"Beating Prep was a big boost of confidence for our football team," said Coach Mark King. The win boosted Northeast's record to 3-1

The team then went on to have big wins over Kearney, then-No. 1

Millard North and Fremont. After the Millard North game, The Rockets were No 1 for the first time since 1972 when they ended the season as co-state champions with Lincoln East before playoffs were used to determine state champions.

The Fremont victory was huge because it gave Northeast the district title and the #1 seed in the state playoffs. The victory also served as a big boost of confidence going into the playoffs.

The first-round foe for Northeast was 2-8 Bellevue East. The Rockets stomped the Chieftains, 43-14. Fullback Seth Tucker tore up Bellevue East's defense with 100 yards on 12 carries and one touchdown.

Then came Omaha Westside and a game with a lot of meaning. If the Rockets could win, they would set a school record for consecutive victories. Also, beating Westside would avenge a previous loss in the 1997 playoffs. The Rockets used a tough defense to win the game, 19-0 and Erik Burback ripped the Warriors defense for 125 yards and two touchdowns.

The excitement around Northeast was electrifying. The Rockets were only one victory away from a state championship game and two wins away from a state title! Setting school history with 10 straight wins was also a very big event for everyone at school. We had the bragging rights; we were on a roll.

Next up for Northeast was Millard West. The game plan was to shut down the Wildcats' counter sweep. The Rockets also planned to mix up the run and pass plays and take advantage of Johnson's height. With the game tied and the Rockets with the ball, a Millard West interception return for a touchdown led to 28 unanswered points and gave the Wildcats a 56-28 victory.

"They wanted it just as bad as we did and they had excellent players. After the interception, our intensity went down tremendously," Tucker said.

Northeast's season may have ended on a down note, but the loss didn't take away from a banner season that brought Northeast football back to the upper level of Class A.

Early Confidence Keys State Championship Run

Bv JAY LANDSTROM SPORTS STAFF

When falls sports started in September, the Rocket volleyball team had one goal: A state title.

"It was our only goal of the year. We worked hard all summer to achieve our goal," said senior middle blocker Sara Westling. ''The year just would have not ended right without the state championship."

Setter Megan Danek agreed.

"It was the perfect way to end my high school career;' Danek said.

The Rockets began their season in a big way, winning the Bellevue Invitational. Momentum gained from that win carried over to the rest of the season.

"After that tournament we gained confidence and knew we could play with any team in the state. It was one of the most important series of games of the year;' Danek said. In the finals, the Rockets beat PapillionLaVista, a team they would eventually defeat when it counted most for the state title.

One of the keys to the successf u I season was that the Rockets took one game at a time.

"I think when we played ev-

ery game as if it was the most important game of the year, it helped because we never had any letdowns," Danek said.

Danek was named to the Lincoln Journal-Star's All-City second team and third team Super State. She was an All-Nebraska third team pick by the Omaha World-Herald. She also led the team is assists (871 ), and was second in ace blocks (31 ).

Senior hitter Anne Stutzman was named to the All-City team and was honorable mention AllState in both newspapers. She was second on the team in kills (151), and digs (274).

Junior Mary Mercer was honorable mention All-City and All-State.

Westling, a University of Pacific recruit, was honorary captain of the All-City team and was the honorary captain of both the Super State and All-Nebraska teams. She set the Class A career kills record with 1,543, set the single game kill record against Papillion with 36, and led the team in kills (531 ), and ace blocks (69).

"All the records are nice, but I'd much rather have a state title. Everybody played great. I feel my high school career is complete;' Westling said.

Hard Work, Experience, Lead to City Title

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

This year's reserve volleyball team had one main goal: Take city.

The team was all about hard work, determination and a great work ethic. Several of the girls came into the weight room to lift and run during the summer. All of that hard work contributed to better passing, serving and ball control.

Not only did the team double its win total from last year, the Rockets also toppled previ-

ously two-year unbeaten rival Southeast in the L.P.S. tournament.

Despite ending the regular season on a 1-5 losing skid, the teams performance in the L.P.S. Tournament was phenomenal.

"Beating East was our biggest win of the year because we wanted to do it since they beat us last year," said Jennifer Marr.

Rockets Capture School's Fourth State Championship

Going into the state tournanent as the favorite, there was Dnly one way for the Rockets o finish the season-as state ;hampions.

"I don't think we would have ~anted to go out any other r-1ay," said junior Mary Mercer.

"We felt we had the best team and our confidence was high."

Northeast started the tournament off on the right foot with a win over crosstown rival Lincoln High 15-5, 15-12. In that game seniors Megan Danek had 29 assists with most of them going to Sara Westling who had 18 kills.

In the semifinal nightcap, the Rockets played Omaha Marian who they had defeated twice in the regular season.

"We knew they were a good team but we had the confidence that we weren 't going to let what happened the previous two years (semifinal losses) happen again," Mercer said.

In the Marian game, another big performance from Westling and Danek led the Rockets to a 15-4, 15-3 victory with 20 kills and 28 assists respectively.

In the championship game the Rockets faced off against Papillion-LaVista, again a team Northeast had beaten three times in the regular season.

" After our win against Marian, we knew the championship was ours to win, so we just went out and played like we knew how," Mercer said.

"The championship was the most important game of the year, because we knew we could win with a good performance," Westling commented.

The defense was the key in the championship game because of the big hitters from Papillion. Mercer had 16 digs, Westling had 23 kills and 6 bloc~s and Danek had 34 assists as the Rockets battled to a hard fought victory, 15-9, 1315, 15-7. Westling and Danek both were named to the Class A all-tournament team.

"Our defense played great and our whole team came together. Everybody worked hard and we were rewarded nicely. The championship was one of the best moments of my life," Westling said .

Girls Overcome Inexperience, Unify as a Team

By Jason Chambers SPORTS STAFF

This year's varsity softball team had many obstacles to face, the biggest one being the inexperience of the players on the varsity level.

There were just two seniors on the team, Lisa Folsom and Katie Keys. They provided the team with leadership and enthusiasm throughout the season.

"Although we were a young team, we proved that we could play together;' said Folsom.

The team finished 15-19 and made many improvements during the season.

One of the hardest fought and best played games all year

came against top-ranked Papillion. The Rockets had been playing tough defense all game long and held Papillon scoreless through 8 innings.The game went into extra innings tied 0-0. Northeast ended up losing by one run in the ninth inning but definitely proved themselves as great competitors.

One of the biggest highlights of the season came when the Rockets beat Southeast for the first time in school history.

This team will be remembered because of their toughness and never-say-die attitude. They never gave up on themselves and in the end really became a team of champions.

Hard Work Pays Off for Gymnastics Team

By Jay Landstrom SPORTS STAFF

All the hard work the gymnastics team put in during the off-season paid off in the 1998 campaign, with the girls team finishing 12th in the state and the boys team finishing 6th in the state.

Many individuals excelled, including Stef Sindel and Lori Christenson.

"I was injured for most of the year, but when I got to compete I thought I did pretty good," said the senior Sindel. "My best meet of the year was when I won the vault, the balance beam, and the floor excercise. I was proud of myself that night."

In that meet the Rockets beat the Links 132.8 to 130.05. T~e guys also performed well against Lincoln High as Andy Genrich placed in every event and won the all-around with a score of 37.9.

The girls team's best meet as a team · was at the North Platte Invitational where they placed third.

"I think our team really came together at North Platte, we performed well that night," Christenson said.

Steinhauser Leads Squad to Sixth Place at State

By Erik Hjermstad SPORTS STAFF

Both the boys and girls cross country teams had above average seasons, with great finishes at many tournaments. But the girls took the cake, finishing in sixth place, at the State tournament.

Chrystal Steinhauser, the All-City captain, led the girls with a sixth place finish at the state meet, with Jessica Luhring the next closest Northeast finisher, finishing in 29th position. With several other Northeast runners finishing in the top 100, it gave them just the depth they needed to place where they did.

The season couldn't have gone much better for the girls as they finished fourth or better in all but one meet. Their best regular season finish couldn't have come at a better time, finishing in second place at the district meet. With very few seniors on -this young team, most of the girls were very pleased with this year's results.

This year's boys cross

country team, didn't qualify for the state meet, but had some great finishes during the season, with their best results coming at the Omaha Bryan meet, where the freshmen won the tournament, and the sophomores came in a close second.

"Hopefully our leadership, will help the younger kids to become better runners in the future," said Senior Tyler Howe, who was one of the key leaders of this years squad.

Diversity Propels Rockets to Outstanding Season

By Jane Hoops SPORTS STAFF

The members of the boys Varsity Tennis team represent five different continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Although they had so much diversity on the team, they came together to have one of the best seasons in Northeast history.

"This team was unique because of all the diversity, and we all had a lot of fun throughout the year," Erik Hjermstad said.

Northeast had many big wins this season, the first coming with a team championship at the Millard West Invitational.

"Winning this tournament gave us confidence that we could compete against anyone in the state," said senior Jason Chambers.

In their next tournament, the Papillion Invitational, the Rockets finished second out of 17 teams, which was a great finish due to all the respectable teams in the tournament. The biggest dual win of the year was against East, 5-4. This was the first ti me in 20 years that Northeast had defeated East.

The Rockets were

impressive at state, finishing 4th out of 25 teams. Jamie Kramer and Daniel Hoening played number one doubles and finished second. Erik Hjermstad and Jan Kischkewitz played number two doubles and finished third.

" It felt good finishing the season off with a win. I am proud at what I have accomplished at Northeast," Hjermstad said.

Records Fall in 18-4 Season

By Erik Hjermstad ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

This year's team had a record-setting season, and they were just a few games short of a season that is often just a dream.

A 15 game win streak highlighted this year's team as they set a new school record with that outstanding acomplishment. ·

"During the streak we played well as a team and no one was selfish," said junior Jane Hoops.

"We worked hard and everyone was a leader in her own way," said senior Jen Ware of the win streak.

The streak brought the team closer together and as the season progressed they not only grew close on the court, but also off. The team had many get togethers, including a heavyweight boxing tournament at Anne Stutzman's house, in which Lisa Folsom, with her aggressive style, pounded the entire team.

The girls ended the year in the first round of the state tournament with a 49-35 loss to Millard South, just the fourth loss of the season.

"I don't think it was that big of a disappointment. Getting to Devaney was a great

acomplishment in itself," said Folsom.

"I was really inspired by the fan support we got this year. I think it really gave the team a big boost," said Stutzman.

"Come on, feet " - Sara Westling

"Mud dogs, ruff" - Becca Hiller

Those were the team mottos throughout the year, and "feets" are just what the Rockets accomplished.

Title Streak Ends at Four

By Jay Landstrom

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

The 1998-99 basketball season had a new look with a new coach and only five players returning with varsity experience. But , nothing really changed as the Rockets made a great run at a fifth straight state championship only to come up short against Bellevue West in a 97-89 double overtime classic.

"We were a little disappointed we didn't win our fifth title , but you always have to set your goals high and we went down a fighting champion ," said junior guard Luke Hansen.

According to the players , Northeast opened up the season with no pressure , like in years past , as new head coach Chip Bahe stepped in. Bahe made little changes in the program which made adjusting to him easy.

"There was no trouble adjusting to Coach Bahe. He 's a great coach and he let us be players and didn 't try to make big changes ," said senior Tee Mason.

Bahe's impact was felt throughout the season as he preached working hard and playing together. "15 for 32 " was his motto which meant 15 players working as hard as they can for 32 minutes.

"A big part of our succes was how close this team was , everybody on this team contributed to our wins, " Mason said Northeast's success paid off as they entered the state tournament the No. 3 seed with a 15-6 record. Big

wins came against Southeast , 67-65 and state champion Grand Island, 7559.

Northeast's biggest win of the season happened in the first round of the state tournament. The Rockets pounded Fremont 68-50 , with Trevor Johnson leading the way with 23 points.

"Fremont beat us in overtime earlier in the season, and it felt good to get some revenge against them. We really came together and played well ," said sophomore Jimmy Motz.

Northeast semifinal game proved to be a record-setting loss. The Rockets played flawlessly for the entire game until the last two minutes when Bellevue West went on a streak that was too much for Northeast to overcome. Northeast set three Class A records which were: most overtimes played , most points by a losing team , and most points combined by two teams

"We have nothing to be ashamed of We played our hardest and the ball just didn ' t bounce our way," said Mason, who scored 16 points

Rocket players were given many postseason awards as Motz, Hansen , and Vernon Jiles were named honorable mention All-Nebraska , and Allstate. Trevor Johnson was named honorable mention All-Nebraska , second team All-City, first team All-Class All-Tournament team, and third team Super-State. Mason was first team All-City, first team All-Nebraska and first tea~ Super-State.

Rockets Reclaim City Title; Six Wrestlers Go to State Me ~ t

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

This year's varstiy wrestling team had a lot of talent back from last year's team. Every single wrestler who went to state last year was back again this year. The determination that this team had exceeded the determination from previous years.

"I was determined to prove to everyone that I was a better wrestler than last year. It felt really good to dominate Jeremy Emerson from Columbus this whole season because he always beat me last year," said sophomore Andy Gen rich.

There was also a lot of record-setting highlights that took place this season. Andy Genrich became the first wrestler in school history to win 30 matches. The team also averaged 142 points in tournaments and 42 points in duals, both new school records.

The Rockets went into the LPS tournament with a lot of confidence. Seth Tucker led the team as the undefeated wrestler on the team. Throughout the tournament, the competition and adrenaline levels were brought to higher levels for all

the wrestlers. Even a very strong performance from the Southeast wrestlers couldn't stop the Rockets surge as the team went on to win, 42-25. "It felt great winning city. It was one of those moments that I'll always remember," said senior Seth Tucker.

After a successful regular season, the state wrestling tournament was set to begin. Six wrestlers were invited to state: Andy Genrich (103), James Nelson (125), Eddie Gonzales (140), Mychal Mahaffery (145), Seth Tucker (189), and Keith Lile (275).

"I felt really confident going into state and I thought my chances of going all the way were good," commented Genrich.

Out of all six wrestlers, two of them placed. Genrich placed third while a reaggravation of an abdominal muscle forced Tucker to accept a very respectable sixth place finish.

"I was dissappointed that I had to re-aggravate my abdominal muscle at the worst time, but I was happy with the season I

had," said Tucker.

In additon to wrestling, the team had a lot of fun. "I got picked on by a lot of the bigger wrestlers, including Tuck, but it was all fun and games.It made me tougher," said Genrich.

JV wrestler Robert Davis found humor in the season. "It was hilarious watching Seth

Tucker constantly ripping B rney Zimmerman's sweat p , ts ," Davis said.

Confidence Key to Season

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

The girl's track team returns several key and experienced runners from last year's team such as Molly Alberts, Shannon Meister, Jessica Luhring, Brittany Miller, Andrea Herndon, Eve Van Sice, and Katie Seymour.

"We are going to kick butt this year," says senior Miller.

Many of the girls have been working hard in the weight room and running in their spare time to maintain and improve their level of performance.

"I don't think the younger (freshman) runners of today look up to us seniors as much as we used to look up to the seniors when we were freshmen," said Miller. She still feels it is the role of seniors and all experienced runners to help and lead the younger and inexperienced runners.

Overall, everyone's strength and endurance improvements will play a crucial role in the amount of success the girl's team has this year.

The boy's squad this year returns several talented athletes such as Ted Brinkman, Erik Burback and Matt Hill.

"We have a well-rounded team this year," said Brinkman. He also said that losing "Red"

(McIntyre) and Clifford (Brye) was a big loss that the boys would have to overcome.

Several guys have been working hard in the off-season in the weight room and running. At the same time, Brinkman said that workouts are going better than he expected. "It hasn't been easy, but I think I am doing okay," he said.

Some of the goals are to win a meet as a team and take as many runners to state as possible. With all of that said, all that remains is for the boys to accomplish what goals they have set.

Returners Key Soccer Hopes

By Jay Landstrom ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

This year 's varsity soccer team has one goal and that is to make a trip to the state tournament in Omaha. With a new coach with high standards and nine returning starters from last year's team, their goal is well within reach.

"We want to play good throughout the year because our district is loaded with good teams. So every game counts toward wild card points," said returning goalkeeper Jane Hoops.

Defensively, the Rockets are deep with talent. In addition to Hoops , defenders Jaime Venhaus, Heather Bender, and Jessica Miller are hoping to keep opposing offenses at bay. Offensively, Northeast will have more threats with newcomers Jenny Stephenson and Molly Kuchera, who will add to returning letterwinner

Rebecca Hiller. Providing leadership to this year 's team will be returning All-City player Morgan Hawkins , and Bridget Furry.

The junior varsity team has one major goal, to have three wins. If the JV team accomplishes their goal it will be the most wins in JV soccer history

The JV team's strength should be their defense where goalie Rachel Leichleiter , and defenders Jenny Deterding , Jenna McTaggart, and Crystal Godemann lead the way.

" I think the intensity of our team will help us out a lot," said Julie Stelzer.

The reserve soccer team has been working hard all spring and looks to have a winning season.

"I think all the hard work that we have done will help us out throughout the season," said freshman Steph Wells

Returning Starters Lead Inexperienced Players

By Danny Vanourney SPORTS EDITOR

This year's boys soccer team consists of four returning starters from last year's team which includes: Zack Huda Hadi, Andy Lawrence, Shungu Mbergenwa, and Justin Miles.

"We lost a lot of starters from last year and that is why Shungu, Justin, Andy and me are going to have to step up and lead this team," said senior Zach Huda Hadi.

The team got together and decided on a few basic goals. For one, the returning starters want to develop the inexperienced, younger players so that

they have got the experience they need next year Also, everyone wants to qualify for state.

"It would be really nice if we could make it to state this year since it has been a while since we have gone to state," said Huda Hadi.

Even though this year's team is missing a lot of what it had last year, it still has got a lot of potential. With the team leadership in place, this season's soccer team should see a lot of spring time success.

Andy Lawrence and Zack Huda Hadi show how much they love playing soccer together. Lawrence and Huda Hadi are two of the four senior starters who will play a vital role on this year's team.

Practice Improves Speech

By Jackie Mateer ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Forensics Club is split into two different sections: Speech and Debate. Coach Pam Davis works with the speech team members on interpreting and polishing their pieces. They compete in nine different events in the National Forensics League.

The speech team learns how to interpret persuasive and informative pieces. Extemporaneous is when a topic is drawn from current events. They also practice impromptu, where a speech member is required to talk about a subject for a certain amount of time.

"Speech is a fine line between acting and interpretation," said Irene Taylor.

It's important for the speech team to practice as much as possible. They spend up to three to four days a week practicing their skills.

Stop! Maryanne Coleman looks as if she is bothered by yet another camera flash.

FTC Agenda Wide Open

By Dustin Oltman ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

This young club's main purpose is to let people know just exactly what members think about a variety of topics.

The club talks about many different subjects, including religion, feelings, racism, and anything else that may come to mind.

"We talk about a lot of taboo subjects that most people don't usually talk about," said senior Andrew Wicks.

Free Thinkers is a very relaxed club. Even though many subjects could be offensive to some, the club members keep quiet, listen, and try to understand what someone is talking about.

Students at Northeast realized that there was a need for this club after many opinions were strongly being voiced in classes.

The Teachers of Tomorrow?

By Cheseney Bohaty COPY EDITOR

The best way for students to get a good look at the career of teaching would be to join the Future Educators Club.

This club contains a group of about 15 students that are all interested in pursuing teaching once they graduate high school. Future Educators club gives students the chance to shadow teachers and let them see first hand the hard work that goes into becoming a teacher.

"This club is cool because you get to see just how much it takes to become a teacher," said senior Angela Goebel. Students get to talk to college students about going through the teacher's college and what they can look forward to facing in the future.

On a recenf club day a teacher panel consisting of Northeast teachers was set up for students to interview them and ask questions. They shared their stories of how they became a teacher and the offered advice on teaching.

Students in the club spent time this year helping out with teacher appreciation week and also worked hard participating in a book drive.

Play is Three-Night Sellout

Nor t heast 's drama department presented it 's spring play, "Osca r" on March 17-19. "Oscar" sold out at all three of the show in gs , something that has never been done in Northeast hist o ry

"Oscar" is the story of a gangster who decides to turn his life around. The humor comes out when Oscar goes about do ing th is.

A lot of dedication was involved for the cast of the spring p lay. Pract ices were held months before the play even d e buted. T he cast spent up to three hours each night just p ra cticing and going over their lines.

Under the good direction of Mr. Chapman and the excellent acting of the cast , "Oscar" turned out to be one of the mo st successfu l events at Northeast this year.

Loos, Teele Get Lead Roles

By Cheseney Bohaty COPY EDITOR

Another year and another successful fall play has passed. This year the Northeast drama department presented the play, "It's Been Ages."

The cast used Russian accents to make the play more authentic.

Plays are a little different at Northeast than at other local schools. There is no stage in the drama room, so the audience is located on all sides of the actors in a theatre-in-theround atmosphere.

"The audience is closer to the action," said senior Ben Loos.

The play centers around Sergei and Olya, played by Ben Loos and Becky Teele. The couple had been separated by a tragic event early in life and coincidentally get trapped in an airport together. That's where the humor begins! -----.

Wow! What a performance was given at Northeast's musical this year! Hundreds of people packed into the auditorium to watch students sing and act out the story of Oklahoma!

The lead roles of Laurey and Curly were given to Mike Stelzer and Maralee Enns.

"We worked hard and met every night, sometimes for two hours," added Stelzer.

The musical left many cast members with great memories. Singing and acting in front of so many people was a first for many of the performers.

I'll Never Break Your Heart

Instead of dealing with snow, heat was the main concern at Homecoming this year. It was even hotter to those who were dancing. All the doors were open and the fans were circulating, but it wasn't enough to put an end to the heat.

The Homecoming royalty seemed to sparkle this year as they sat on their thrones.

"Homecoming was special to me because it was my senior year and I was elected king, 11 senior Seth Tucker commented.

The decorations that the cheerleaders worked so hard on added to the great atmosphere that was found at Homecoming. A great time was had by all, and smiles seemed to be everywhere.

Couple up. Jason Vanek, Erin Painter, Barney Zimmerman, Lindsay Prai, Annie Hendrichson, and Bob Lundholm make such cute couples.

Lincoln Station Hosts Event

By Cheseney Bohaty COPY EDITOR

"There will never be another tonight." That theme certainly rang true for most students who attended Candlelight this year.

The big event took place on January 18th, in the Lincoln Station ballroom. The rules for Candlelight are as follows: Girls ask guys and no freshmen allowed.

"Candlelight 's cool because the girls get to pay," commented junior Jay Landstrom.

A lot of couples were seen dancing together happily during many slow songs that were heard throughout the night. Even those who attended the dance without a date still found the evening to be enjoyable.

The attenda·nce this year at Candlelight seemed to be even greater than last year and is another sign that involvement is strong at Northeast.

Stress, Lots of Work Pay Off

By Cheseney Bohaty COPY EDITOR

Photos, copy, advertising, captions, interviews, and deadlines! Students in yearbook class spent the year concentrating on all of this.

There were about 25-30 students who dedicated themselves to working on the yearbook. Approval from advisor Daryl Blue is required before students can be on the yearbook staff. Most students have previously taken a journalism or photojournalism class.

Students in yearbook have only 50 minutes each day to take on the hard task of fitting a whole year of school activities into a 259-page book. Needless to say, putting in extra hours is necessary if the yearbook is going to go out on time.

A typical day in yearbook is quite hectic. Photographers

are busy developing in the darkroom, the sports staff is doing

interviews, copy staff is busy typing, students are working hard on captions, and the editors are busy putting it all together

Seeing the book finished and done on time is when the hard work really pays off.

The Northeastern had a small staff this year, but that didn't stop them from making a big impact on the student body.

The idea of the Northeastern is to inform students of important issues around Northeast. The school paper is a way to give the student body a voice.

"It's like athletics, people admire your work," said second semester editor Kara Miner.

Working on the school newspaper can get a little stressful when deadline week comes. Students on the staff work hard finishing up interviews, typing out stories, and revising their work so it's ready for print.

The Northeastern had some controversial subjects this year. The point was to get the student body talking.

"More people should join," said entertainment editor Patti Vannoy.

Students Lend Helping Hand

By Megan Bartlett ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Peer Helpers represent caring and problem solving in the building. They are defined by being trustworthy and courageous so that they can reach out to stressed peers.

Peer Helpers meet with students individually in a confidential setting to help solve conflicts. They also do classroom presentations on several topics of interest to teens.

Members are nominated, interviewed, and then chosen to take a semester long class called Peer Education. There were around 65 members by the end of the year. Peer Education is led by Jan Brown and Joe Scherr.

Peer Helpers consistently spent their lunch period at the Pershing Pals Program which takes place at Pershing Elementary School. Other Peer Helping accomplishments consist of Red Ribbon Week, Donut Dazzle, Student Organization, and a girls mentoring group at Mickle Middle School.

Council Has Active Year

By Dustin Oltman ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Student Council fought for many different issues this year. Some of those included were lunch hour times and the new attendance policy. Just think, they did it all to make the student body happy.

Whether or not to shorten the lunch hour was one of the main concerns of Student Council this year. Administrators wanted to shorten the lunch schedule to only 35 minutes. Student Council members fought to save the longer lunch time.

One way they helped in the community this year was by organizing a toy drive. They set up barrels at stores around Christmas time to collect toys for unfortunate kids.

Student Council also participated in a can food drive , homeless awareness day, Dead Day, and raised money for the wall of fame.

Peer Tutors Willing to Help

By Dustin Oltman

ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Need some help on a certain subject? Don't know what to do? Then peer tutors are there for you.

Peer Tutors was formed to help students who are having trouble in a certain class. Each tutor is on the honor roll and has a good academic reputation at Northeast.

"The students are not only intelligent, but they're also willing to help," said sponsor and counselor Melanie Denney.

Not many people have come into the counseling center seeking a peer tutor. With 15 students at Northeast ready to help students, tutors are always available.

"Not every school has tutoring. It should be taken as an advantage," added Denney.

Look at that concentration and look closely. Erron Vetter and Erin Deichert Can I help you? Katie Henkenius busily chats on the phone. (ph c. l by work hard at being good tutors. (Photo by Amanda Smith) Andrea Herndon)

It's a Way to Solve Problems

By Jackie Mateer ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Student Mediation is a group of Northeast students who are trained in dealing with common problems that face students on a daily basis.

Twelve mediators are picked out of each grade and meet during periods 2, 4, and 7. They have set aside one period in their schedule in order to work with students who may need help with a certain issue.

The student mediators were elected by their peers and are trained in knowing how to deal with tough conflicts. Members of the student body always have the option of meeting with a student mediator.

Jeopardy Airs at Northeast

By Dustin Oltman Assistant Copy Editor

Ready Set. Buzz!

Quiz Bowl was an event that students attended which helped them test their intelligence.

At the competitions, four students and one alternate were seated against another team. They did their best to receive the most points.

"The format is like Jeopardy," commented sponsor Steven Eckman.

The students met almost every day prior to the tournament. They studied various topics which ranged from science and math to literature.

Northeast was the only school in Lincoln that attended the Quiz Bowl. It was very important that the students were ready and strong enough to support Lincoln schools.

Academic Decathlon was also very busy this year. The students that participated found out that it takes a lot of dedication to be part of this group. There were many after school practices held during first semester.

Academic Decathlon competes numerous times throughout first semester. Competing consists of taking between 7-10 tests over various topics such as math, art, music, and literature.

Academic Decathlon came in third place at the regional competition and took sixth place at the state competition.

Prepare to buzz. The team concentrates as they wait to answer the tough questions ahead.

Students Get Second Chance

By Dustin Oltman ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR

Aiming high and targeting student success was S .C.O .R.E 's. motto for this year.

S.C.O R.E. (School and Community Opportunities For Relevant Education) is a program that gives students the opportunity to succeed if they are low on credits.

S C.O R.E. allows the students to choose from many different subjects that they will need to take before they are el ig ible to graduate.

"S C O.R.E. is a school within a school, " commented sophomore Tracy Harris

Besides credits, S.C.O.R.E. helps the students learn ma ny different responsibilities. The students are taught the importance of coming to class on time , finishing school work, and showing respect for teachers.

"The teachers are more like friends," said senior Becky Coolidge.

S C O.R.E. gives students a second chance to learn and su cc eed.

That's Certainly Debateable

By Cheseney Bohaty Copy Editor

Students on the debate team at Northeast practice Lincoln Douglas Debates, which means that their topics deal a lot with morals and values. The team spent time debating on such issues as cloning, liberty vs. equality, and privacy vs. the right to know.

Debate is a semester class that many students enjoy taking all year long. Northeast also offers an advanced debate class. There are about 15 students involved in debate at Northeast, while only two students actively compete.

Debate is an event that lasts throughout the year, possibly even lasting into the beginning of summer. A lot of hard work, dedication, and persistence is needed for those students who participate in tournaments.

No Experience Needed

By Cheseney Bohaty COPY EDITOR

No experience is needed to be a part of Northeast's speech team , but be prepared for a lot of hard work and dedication.

Speech season begins at the beginning of November and lasts until mid-March. Speech is all about performing in front of an audience on various subjects.

Speech competitions consist of 1O different events which are broken down into public speaking and interpretation events.

Northeast's Speech team saw its hard work pay off this year when they qualified for the state competition in March. Four students on the team got the opportunity to attend the national competition which is held in Chicago

Laura,

As you journey through life choose your destiny well, but do not hurry there. You will arrive soon enough. Wander the back roads and forgotten paths, keeping your destination in your heart like the fixed point of a compass. Seek out new voices, s trange sights and ideas that are foreign to your own. S uch things are riches for the s oul and if, on arrival, you find your destination is not exactly as y ou had dreamed, do not be disappointed. Think of all you would have missed but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of y ou r tra vel lies not in where you come to be at journey 's end, but in who you come to be along the way.

Love, Mom&Randy

Your little girl years were a magical time! You were She-Ra, a ballerina and a waitress for so many wonderful years!! It was easy to tell even back then what a beautiful person you were going to become.

You have a kind heart that is sensitive to the needs of others. And though you are not one to seek attention, you stand up for yourself and help others do the same.

Our beloved daughter. how can we ever thank you for being who you are?? You have brought a joy into our lives as surely as a warm, sunny day! No cloud will ever chase that away!!! We 're so proud of you Eri! ! Keep up the good work that God has begun in you!!

"We Lead the Way"

Anne & Kristen - Forever Friends

A friend is a person who knows pretty much everything about you and accepts it all because it's just you. And when you need a shoulder to cry on , a real friend will offer it without you having to ask and won't hold it over your head later and say 'remember that time I lent you my shoulder? ' A friend is someone who knows when you have an attitude and leaves you be , then has no problem with you later when you have gotten over it. A friend makes you laugh really hard until you aren 't even making any sound. No matter where we go next year, we will always stay in touch and be there for each other.

Jenni,

To our Amber,

Amber, what a gift you ' ve been to our family

What a miracle from God above

The whole world became a better place

When we were blessed with your life an d love

There were times when smiles seemed far away

But your presence brought them near

A smile was never a problem

When your sweet voice we could hear

Thank God for you , beautiful sister, daughter, friend

What wonderful memories and thoughts you bring

The day you were born Dear Amber

We all heard the angels sing

We would hold you for hours

Looking into those beautiful bright eyes

You are the best part of our lives

No one and nothing could break our ties

When you 've hurt , we ' ve hurt with you

When you cried , we wiped your tears

When you 've laughed , we 've felt your joy

When you were scared , we held you near

We watched you grow, and learn , and love

And we 'll continue to support your hopes and dreams

We 'll all be here for you , rain or shine

No matter how rough the world can seem

And now our girl is graduatlng

And it almost seems unreal

Our sweet little Amber has grown up

If you only knew how proud we feel

Amber, we all adore you

And we 're so glad you're ours

Keep moving up and moving on

Your future is as vast as the stars

The 1998-99 Rocket was published by Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri. Mike Diffenderfer was the representative for the yearbook.

Body Copy was set for 12 pt. over 13 pt. leading and Helvetica was our copy for both the body and captions. Type style was Arcadia for the headlines of the first sixteen pages and introduction pages. Times was used for all other headlines. Tom Voss and Travis Smith designed the layouts throughout the book.

The theme, 'The end of the millennium, the beginning of our future," was picked because this is the last graduating class of the millennium. A Walsworth graphic artist designed the cover using the computer program Bryce 3D.

This yearbook was created by one of the Rocket's largest staffs.
