Booster Blast Off started the fall season out with a Bang. Plus , it introduced all fall sports teams and other activities.

This year Booster Blast Off had live music by the Leftovers. "It was awesome that they came," junior Cassie Turek said. There was also the usual dunk tank, sumo wrestling, and the Star Strutter jail.

The night started with performances from the band and the Strutters. All of the fall teams were then introduced and there were performances by all four cheerleading squads and by our brand new dance team, NE-Wayz. Rocket Man also made a brief appearance. To end the evening, the Varsity Marching Band played Hail to the Varsity.

"It was fun and there were lots of things to do," said freshman Erica Roland .

Admit it, you love Northeast, whether it's because of the great football team or the remarkable attendance at school functions.

As senior Michael Corner puts it, "Northeast's student population does everything and strives to be the best in all of their activities."

If you listen closely, you might be able to hear the cheerleaders over the deafening roar of the crowd of fans at many games. But, when you can't, sometimes the creative and interesting cheers and shouts emanating from the trumpet section of the Northeast band will suffice.

"I think school spirit is important, because it makes the high school experience fun," said junior Renee Klitzke at the homecoming game in September.

And with all the opportunities Northeast presents to us: games, clubs, plays, musicals, presentations .it is hard not to believe so. ·

Thi~ i~ Fun

lhfl Cla~ of 2000

By Jamie Chadd

It's been a long road, but a lot of fun.

Over the past four years we have all grown and changed in many different ways.

Soon, we will all leave the halls and lockers behind us, and step out into the world, with only our memories remaining. Whether it be college, the army, or the work force we go onto, let us remember that high school helped make us who we are today.

We are not just an9ther graduating class. We are the Class of 2000.

We are the class of the millennium. The future. There will never be another class like us. Growing up we were always told, 'You're the Class of 2000, that's pretty special.' Well, we are, and it's here.

We'll remember all of the dances, games, and parties but, all good things must come to an end.

We've come to an end, as well as a beginning.

Good luck, Class of 2000.

They're Always There ....

By Sara Guittar

This year ' s faculty has grown with the rest of the student body. But in this case, more is better.

Every day a teacher is able to reach someone and have the opportunity to teach students something new Counselors helped students in all aspects of Northeast life , from small skirmishes with schedules to major difficulties with other students.

Every faculty member worked with every other faculty member to make Northeast a

better place for the students And although many people do not appreciate that now, someday a former student will look back and think , 'Wow , I haven 't thought about her (or him) in years. She (or he) always listened to me .'

And then you will realize exactly how much that teacher actually meant to you. Because every teacher, counselor and administrator worked their hardest to make each person ' s life at Northeast a little bit better.

Students Agree .. Life is Good

By Jamie Chadd

From 8 am to 3 pm we're toldwhere to be and what to do. We're required to be in our appointed classes.

To some, after 3:05 it's all up to us.

Some of us spent hours in the drama center, practicing our lines for the current plays. Some attended club meetings and did special projects.

Every first Friday of the month is devoted to Clubs. Club Day is a day to participate in any three choice clubs You can do anything from playing crazy games at Campus Life, to discussing important issues in Ecology Club.

"Everyone looks forward to club days," said junior Lisa Bowers.

And, of course, we had those special nights set aside for loads of fun and just mainly being nutty. Only a few times a year do we get to dress up and buy flowers for our dates. Then off to the dance, where we boogie down from 8-12 pm. After that, just go to Village Inn.

Life is good. ln~rading...

Bringin' Home the Bacon

By Sara Guittar

This year's musical, "State Fair'' was the story of the Frake family and the time they had, at the annual Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. The musical, produced by Concert Choir, is an annual event at Northeast.

"It was a fun experience that I will never forget," said junior Abby Shepard."It was a lot of hard work, but it paid off in the end."

"State Fair'' had many story lines going on at the same time, including the love affairs of Margy and her brother Wayne, and the hovering questions of the winner of the best mincemeat and pickle contest and whether or not Abel's Blue Boy will bring home the bacon. Teamed with great talent and wonderful choreography, this year's musical was truly one-in-a-million.

"T he musical took a lot of dedication from everybody and it was a lot of fun ," said Josh Howard, a junior.

Most of the cast agreed that the musical was an experience that would not soon be forgotten.

"WA, HA, HA!"

By Sara Guittar

"To the stake with her! The sorceress still lives!" cried the crowd of monks, townspeople and inquisitors.

"Too late , wild beast! " hissed Zoraya , as she falls dead on her beloved. So concluded this year's fall play, "The Sorceress", by Victorien Sardou. Originally written in French , "The Sorceress " proved to be a challenge to both the actors and the audience alike.

" It was a hard play to put on, but it was all worthwhile knowing we did a good job," said Simon Gonifas , a senior.

"The Sorceress " was the story of two lovers, Zoraya and Enrique, a mooress and a Spaniard, respectively, during the time of the Spanish Inquisition , when the love between the two races was forbidden. Zoraya had to face the Spanish Inquisition when the love between Enrique and her was discovered. She was sentenced to death, but in the end she bargains for her freedom , poisons Enrique, then dies herself.

" It was incredible to be a part of a performance that was as intense as this. I loved every minute of it, " said junior Renee Klitzke.

Another Blockbuster

By Andrea Herndon and Jennica Schmidt

The spring play this year was "The Man Who Came to Dinner." The play is a large-cast comedy play. The goal was to give as many people as possible a chance to be a part of such a wonderful experience. The actors, Director Bruce Chapman and assistant directors spent long hours rehearsing scenes and making the play come to life.

This play shows the talent of Lincoln Northeast's Drama department. The experience of the senior actors like Michael Johnson, Michael Corner, Simon Gonifas , Dara Peterson, Andrea Lenertz , William Byrne, Anna Leidig, Maryann Coleman, Cheney Luttich, John Edwards and Lisa Paul bring a much needed sense of belonging onto the stage.

"The older actors help guide the way for a younger generation of actors," says sophomore Sara Tinius. If this is true , the Northeast Drama department will continue to thrive for years to come!

It's All On the Girls

By Dustin Oltman and Sara Kehr

Candlelight gave the girls responsibility of picking the i r dates and to seven lucky girls it was an opportunity to provide a dance that would be enjoyed by many. Suzanne House , Mandy Lamb , Stephanie Mareel , Aimee Rump , Kelli Shea , Kim Tolen , and Jaime Venhaus carefully planned this dance that was held at the Lincoln Train Station in the Haymarket. Sophomores , juniors , and seniors all attended this fascinating event.

"

It was the best dance I've been to all year ," commented sophomore Serina Ladd " It was fun, " agreed another sophomore Aaron Meyers " I had a good time and the music was kind of nice. "

Besides the great music , the decorations were another favorite of several students. "The decorations were good ," replied junior Ben Reeves.

Overall , it was a great chance for students to have fun with their friends and have a good time. " It was a fun night ," stated senior T J Justus

Going Strong at 59

Well, after 59 years , the Northeastern is still alive and well at Northeast. Chances are, it will probably always be a part of the school. It came out once a month and each month it was something totally new.

Everyone has to admit that they like reading their peers '

It's All About Helping

By Dustin Oltman

Are your personal problems bothering you? Then Peer Helping comes to the rescue.

Peer Helping was a group of students who were nominated by their peers. Each student was chosen because they were looked upon as a good helper.

Before each member became an official Peer Helper they had to go through a semester long training class. In this class they learned about many different issues that effected teens every single day. By learning what to do in situations that they discussed, the members had enough knowledge to help out their fellow peers.

The experience also helped the members deal with their own problems. Especially if the problems were dealing with home issues. "The exper ience was not just school related, it was also family related ," commented junior Stanford Madlock. "Being a Peer Helper helped me at home. "

Peer Helping was all about helping. The members had different optional activities this year that they attended. The two main activities that the Peer Helpers were involved in were Pershing Pals and Panels. Pershing Pals was when the students went to Pershing over their lunch period and spent time w ith a chosen kid. Panels were when the members went to classrooms to talk about AIDS and other conflicts that bother many teens.

Helping is Key Word

By Sara Kehr

Helping students with their school work was the main goal for Peer Tutors.

The Peer Tutors were sophomores, juniors and seniors who were nominated by a teacher at Northeast for their academic level in a subject. They then attended a meeting during the summer to talk about confidentiality and other important things about being a Peer Tutor. If you ever need to find a Peer Tutor, one could be located in the Excel Center every period of the day, before and after school. Each semester there were different Peer Tutors that were avaliable.

The Tutors also got to help out students in their own classroom as well. It's hard for teachers to help every student and that's where Peer Tutors helped out a lot.

Junior Jill Folkerts thinks, "the best thing about being a Peer Tutor was getting to help others."

The Tutors didn't just tell the students what to do and what the right answer was, they made sure the students were able to understand their work.

Sophomore Steph Dewald replied, "I like knowing that I helped somebody."

Everybody Deserves A Second Chance

By Desiree' Schaffert

SCORE was a program that gave the students who fell behind on credit some encouragement to finish high school.

Each class was two periods in length and they were taught based on district objectives. SCORE classes took place in the morning and were completed by the end of the quarter. SCORE students had the opportunity to also take elective classes in the afternoon.

The teachers in SCORE were Terri Lenzen, Sue Clinkenbeard, Nicki Menard, and John Christensen. Because of the smaller number of students in classes there was more one on one attention which allowed the teachers to get to know the individual student ' s way of learning.

" Everyone knows each other it ' s like family, " sophomore Sherita Two Strike said.

To qualify for SCORE, students had to apply and they had to have parental permission. An interview was then scheduled , and if the student was serious about their attendance and high school competition , they were accepted in SCORE for as long as they felt like they needed it.

Overcoming Fear

By Allie Peters

"What we did for fun was what some people fear more than death."

This year's quote was created by the students of the speech team.

With 14 members, the students had formed a team with big goals. Every member's ultimate goal was to make it all the way to state. This proved to be a hard task considering only one person out of 16 actually got the honor.

From Norfolk to Kearney, the speech team traveled all over the state of Nebraska to compete in speech tournaments every weekend. This year, the team hoped to attend at least 16 tournaments by the end of the year.

Talking It Out

By Sara Kehr

Do you like logic and reasoning? Do you like to argue? Then Debate wouid be a good club for you.

Debate is offered as a class, but not everyone competes. There are five members who compete in tournaments across Nebraska Northeast usually participates in 16 competitions throughout the year , not including state or nationals. They prepared for competitions in class and after school. "It's the only class we can argue with the teacher and get an A for it," commented junior DJ Hayes.

In Debate , there is a lot more than just arguing. Trying to convince someone of something they don't believe in is the hardest part. The members learned how to look at things differently and how to improve on their debating skills . They also got to meet new people from different schools and most importantly, they had a good t ime.

Active Student Council Benefits Community

By Sara Kehr

This year's Student Council had a very busy and productive year.

Before the school year started, members went to a camp in Wayne, Nebraska. There they met with other student councils to share ideas. During the school year they were involved- in several activities that helped out the students as well as the community. A few of these activities were holding a blood drive, a toy drive, trick-or-treating for canned foods, and sponsoring a family for the holiday season.

"Student Council this year has been more productive than ever before and we are

pleased with our accomplishments," said Stu-Co president/ junior Brad Wilber.

This year they discussed several issues and events that were concerns of the student body. One of the biggest events Student Council planned this year was the assembly in February that included students from Columbine and a political leader. They also talked with principal Jerry Wilks to help the students and the administration get along.

Along with putting on the dance, FSBS , they also put a lot of effort into making prom and making it an event that everyone would enjoy.

Conflicts Get Resolved

By Sara Kehr

Learning how to deal with your own conflicts before trying to help others was a big part of being a Student Mediator

This year ' s Mediators learned a lot about dealing with conflict, reflecting on different situations and helping others out. "My partner , Mindy , (Bhola) helped me not only become a better mediator but a better person as well, " said Jay Landstrom. Between each meeting , the Student Mediators did several mediations with students.

They would then discuss how the mediation went and talk about any other difficult problems with fellow mediators during club day meetings .

They also did a lot of things to learn about problems and try i ng to solve them. The Student Mediators got to go to other schools in Lincoln to see different mediation programs and how they deal with student conflict. A couple of the speakers also came to talk about conflict.

Time mes ....... when You're having fun?

By Dustin Ottman

This year ' s yearbook is the biggest yearbook to ever hit Northeast High School.

The 2000 yearbook staff spent countless hours , working in and out of schoo l, to provide the student body with a book of this year ' s memories.

"Being on the staff was cool , because you got to put out a book for the whole school, " said junior Mandy Gillispie.

The class was fun at times , but it also was very stressful. The deadlines , the pictures , the interveiw ing and the fact

that everyone had to work together as one were factors that came up often.

Senior Lisa Neal commented , "It was stressful, but when the yearbook comes out , it makes it all worth while. "

The daily participation in this class was about 110%, from each staff member. Everyone had to be working on something. If you weren 't doing anything , you were then assigned to help someone on a certain section.

With so much to do , the help was always appreciated.

This year, many s tu dents found an alternative to Northeast in Zoo School. With the smaller atmosphere and the flexible scheduling, Zoo School proved to be a beneficial change for a few Northeast students.

The total Zoo School population is about 65, and class sizes range anywhere from five to 20. Four teachers instructed students on everything from Geology to Russian History. The dress code was minimal and students had a greater freedom of expression.

In conjunction with the Folsom Children ' s Zoo , where Zoo School is located, students had an opportunity to work with the animals and the keepers. ·

"My favorite thing about Zoo School is that it ' s a better hands-on learning environment, " said Andrea Herndon, a junior.

This year, the Zoo School teachers won the USA Teacher Team award and went to Washington , D.C. ·to accept their award , which is now currently sitting in one of the portables that serves as a classroom.

The only real problem with Zoo School is that none of its students ever wanted to leave; sometimes the students stayed there after school for hours after all the other students had left, while receiving help from the teachers and just enjoying the environment there.

" ... It pays off... "

By Sara Guittar

Academic Decathalon is not a club. But it's not exactly a class either. Aca-dec meets two to three times a week, and even then, most of the members do their work independently.

Aca-dec members practiced their knowledge on several subjects, such as English, Music, Art, Math, and Economics. Of those subjects, each person chose a special one to master in.

"Academic Decathalon was a lot of hard work but it all pays off in the end, because of the information you learn, the strategies you employ, and the lasting friendships you make with your other teammates," said Carolyn Kramer, a senior.

They have two scrimmages per year, one at Creighton Prep and one at Weselyn, then if they were lucky, they went to the state competion. Northeast's Aca-Dec is so good that it has gone state for four years in a row.

'Like Jeopardy With a Team'

By Jamie Chadd

Quiz Bowl was a group of students that competetj in several different types of trivia games. " It ' s like Jeopardy, but with a team ," said cocaptain/senior John Edwards.

The club practiced off and on thorughout the year , usually after school. They traveled to many different competitions, and this year they came in second out of twenty-four teams in the Elkhorn Quiz Bowl Tournament. The group also planned on going to Florida for the Panasonic Competition.

To raise money for their trips they selled suckers. They aslo hosted an activity , called the "Brain Brawl ," in which they went to the middle schools and recruited new members for upcoming years.

Selected to Help

By Sara Kehr

National Honor Society was a selected group of talented students who did a lot to help out others and the community.

Members had to be seniors with a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. They must have filled out an application, completed an essay and been selected by a committee of teachers.

"National Honor Society gets you involved in the community and helps out the school," commented senior Lori Christenson.

This year, NHS made a large contribution to the food drive held by Student Council and they also held their own toy drive. During the holiday season they sold candy messages that were delivered during school to students. Recycling was another issue they tried to encourage and help out with.

The members met twice a month. Once on club day and another day during the month. This helped the members plan on what they would be doing in the future months to help people out.

All Because of Christ was a club that focused on issues from a biblical perspective.

ABC had around 15 members this year and on each club day they all met and discussed ,. social issues and religious differences.

"ABC was a club that offered direction to students who earnestly desire an active, daily relationship with Jesus Christ based on the biblical model," said sponsor Joel Cornwell.

During the fall they held the annual "See You at the Pole," where around 50 to 100 students gathered at our flag pole. There they prayed aloud for our nation, state, city and school.

Understanding

"This club was not only for African Americans, it was open to the whole student body," stated junior Michelle Williams.

African American club set forth a great effort to help the local community and to make change,s in th ings that they found were wrong. For example they were involved in community projects

The standard for this year's African American club was to be more involved, to be more productive , and to have more student interraction They got help from others in and outside of school to reach these goals.

African American club was sponsored by one of Northeast's vocal music directors , Charles Bowling, and their president was junior Maryann Coleman.

"The best part about being in this club was that I had the chance to be in a class with those who understood where I came from ," said Williams.

Getting Involved

Asian Club is one of the largest cultureoriented clubs at Northeast. It is also one of the most involved clubs in the community.

They had parties throughout the year to fundraise for different activities, and the club also sponsored Teacher Appreciation Day.

"I like Asian Club because I can have a chance to raise the reputation of Northeast in the eyes of the school and of the community," said Tam Vo, a junior.

In December, the group planned to have an event at the end of the school year with the money they had raised.

"My favorite thing about Asian Club is getting involved with my friends, " replied sophomore Linh Nguyen.

Biracial-Multicultural Club involved a group of teens who expressed their views on multiculturism.

The members of this club were all biracial or multicultural. They were taught about different races and how to be more comfortable with themselves.

"I ' m more open about my race," stated senior member Monica Rabago.

The students also learned that they were all unique and that being unique was a good thing.

"This club tells others what we are all about," replied senior Matt Cruse. "I love this club."

But though this club might seem like it was an easy conversational club to join, they also had some deep conversations. "It was real heart-to-heart," said junior Adrienne Butler.

With several hundred members, Campus Life proved to be the biggest club at Northeast. On Mondays, the members met at Champions Fun Center and it was hard to fit everyone in.

Sophomore Sarah Lovrien says "Campus Life brings people together and makes them stronger ."

Care Club has been active at Northeast for four years now, and the population has kept growing with 50 members this year.

Care Club conducts year round activities involving mostly elders and young children. Junior Chasity Grant replied, "Care Club was fun and I enjoyed working with the kids."

The club members were also penpals with third graders at Brownell elementary. On Tuesdays the club members tutored some children at Whitehall.

During the Christmas season, the Care Club had gifts from the heart, for the less fortunate. This is a garage sale activity where the kids buyed $3.00 gifts for their parents and they can wrap and design the gifts themselves.

Chess Club wasn't only about playing chess, it was about improving your thinking skills and meeting others who had similar interests as you.

"It's fun meeting other people who play chess," said freshman Kevin Loope.

Most of the students in this club were well experienced and have been playing chess for years now, but there were a few who were new to the challenge and were just beginning to learn.

"The best part is competing with other people and seeing how good you are," commented senior Schuyler King.

Chess Club was a good idea for students who rarely got a chance to play chess, and for most of the members this was the only oppurtunity they had to play.

Spreading Wings

Believing that you were really flying a plane was the main purpose for the Computer Flight Simulation Club.

Though the students didn't actually fly a real life plane in this club, they did fly a computeranimated one. The computer-animated planes were just as real as real could be, plus they were inexpensive to fly.

"We tried to make it as realistic as possible and we showed people a cheap way to fly a plane," commented president and senior Kyle Peters.

This club was a good idea for anyone who ever dreamed of one day joining the Air Force or getting into this line of work. Playing computer games that dealed primarily with planes was also a reason to join.

"It was a chance to learn how to fly and to have fun," replied vice president and senior Adam Miller.

The Secret is Out

By Jackie Mateer

"Two people sharing, caring, making each other happy, this is love."

The above stanza is from a poem called 'You are my love' written by senior Claudia Riveria. She was one of the many members of the Dead Poet's Society.

Dead Poet's Society has come a long way since its beginning, when the members used to meet in secret off of campus. Now the students, teachers and even administrators come together in our auditorium for the club meetings.

Each club day two different students planned activities and they read to the group. The students signed up with Ms. Laura Ellen and every student had the chance to be a part of club day. This gave the students an opportunity to be more involved with their club.

Junior Angel French said, "this club was really fun and it was a cool way to hang out with your friends that are in it."

Helping Hands

By Jamie Chadd

The main focus for Difference Makers was to help those who were in need.

This group put endless hours into helping others. They volunteered their time to the less fortunate children, and worked mainly with those of Yankee Hill's Home for Children.

This year they took the Yankee Hill kids on hay rack rides, they threw them a Halloween party and they bought them Christmas gifts. They were also involved with the Cedars Home for Kids.

"The best part about being in Difference Makers was putting a smile on the kids faces and knowing that you have helped," replied senior and vice president Stacy Schneider.

Another activity that theDifference Makers were involved in was a canned food drive for the food bank. The members also participated in Earth Wellness.

Everybody Freeze!

By Sara Guittar

When you go into the Drama Center on Club Day, be prepared to participafe.

"This is not an observation club," said sponsor Bruce Chapman. "I want everybody to take part and have a chance to have fun."

The c,lub had a very fun and energetic environment, which allowed everyone to have a great time. During Drama lmprov, the members practiced different types of improvisation. Freeze was a favorite among the amateur thespians.

"One of the good things about Drama lmprov is that it improves my acting skills," replied senior Joe Piersol.

"My favorite part of Drama lmprov is laughing. You just laugh the whole period," commented junior Carrie Brown.

Building, designing , and racing! If that sounds like fun , then you would really enjoy Electric Vehicle Club.

This club was sponsored by OPPD or Omaha Public Power District. The main goal of this club was to build a better car and to place even higher in the races than what they did last year.

These members started completely over on the car, trying to improve its performance in the two races that they raced.

They designed the car and decided everything from the

motion to the brake. Senior Alex Podany described this process best when he said , "We find an easier and better way to do something. "

Everyone in the club had a special part in building the · car. Some were in charge of 1 designs , others did the business part and a few did the we lding.

Senior Paul Ladd stated , " My favorite part is making the general design."

"We ' re always looking for more members and more invo Ive me nt, " junior Mike Mattson commented.

Business Blasts to New Millenium

Business and fun were combined at all FBLA club meetings.

The main goal of FBLA was to develop leadership. "FBLA was a good experience that will prepare me for my future plans," commented sophomore Sara Tinius.

FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) had monthly community service projects. Some of these projects included a canned food drive, highway clean up and ringing bells at Christmas time.

In February, the members had an FBLA week where there was a different activity every single day.

In April some of the FBLA members attended the State Leadership Conference for three days in Omaha. There, the students competed in events and seminars.

Fun Is Allowed

By Jamie Chadd

Fellowship of Christian Athletes was all about accepting God in your life, and finding other students who feel the same.

On club days you would find the auditorium filled with students talking about faith and anything else that was on their minds. They often had guest speakers visit to share their experiences and views.

FCA promoted leadership and encouraged students to take the initiative in their lives. They offered leadership camps during the summer to help students find themselves and taught them to guide others.

"FCA was a great opportunity for students to get together and praise God in a fun way, " said president and junior Suzanne House.

Forensics was a club that combined Speech and Debate. It was a good opportunity for students to build skills needed for everyday activit ies.

Forensics helped build a strong voice, good concentration and great confidence. "It's a good way for me to express myself and show school spirit ," commented sophomore Cheryl Siedband.

Every Tuesday they met to improve their skills and prepare for their next competition.

"We had a really good team this year ," said Siedband.

There -are two different teams in Forensics , varsity and novice. Both of those competed at competitions which occured about once every week.

Social Interaction

By Jamie Chadd

The purpose of this club was to take two totally different types of people and bring them together. The results were good.

"Friendship Club was a great way to promote unity among different people," said senior Lindsay Votava.

The members had the chance to learn more about each other through just hanging out. The hardest part was choosing what activities to do and deciding how much time to do it in.

They tried to do as many events as possible. During the December club day they made Christmas cards and decorated Christmas cookies. They also went bowling, skating and anything else that was fun throughout the course of the year.

Teaching As A Career

By Jackie Mateer

The Future Educators was the school's way of promoting teaching and it also helped those that were interested to know more about what the students would be getting into.

The club was sponsored by Karen Poore, a teacher at Northeast.

The members were involved in the community and with other high schools in the surrounding area. They went to conventions in and outside of Lincoln.

Senior Amanda Wood said, "This club helped me learn more options for my career. "

If you are thinking about becoming a teacher it would be a good choice to join this club because it provides teachers for the future and creates memories that will last a lifetime.

Promoting Awareness

By Sara Guittar

The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Straight Alliance of Northeast has worked hard this past school year to enlighten the general public of Northeast to gay rights and awareness.

This year's events included speaker Daniel Russell Kubert, who came to speak to GLBTSA about his life, the 'Night of a Thousand Stars ' event and benefit dance in December, and passing out AIDS awareness ribbons.

"I like this club because you don't have to be afraid of what you say, you can meet others from different schools and you could just be yourself," said senior Angel Schmidt.

Fighting Tobacco

By Sara Kehr

Lungs Needed Everyday showed the great benefits of choosing not to smoke and staying Tobacco Free.

The members in this club tried to show the benefits of not smoking to other students in the school.

Every year they do various things to celebrate Tobacco is Trash Week. This year they shared interesting facts over the announcements, had students sign a tobacco free banner and handed out stickers for everyone to wear.

They also participated in a statewide rally against tobacco where the Senators talked to students from all over Nebraska.

"It was really motivating to see students from all across Nebraska at the 'Teens Take on Tobacco' rally," replied sponsor Susan Cornish, "in which it showed that teens had an effect on the bills that are passed in the legislature."

Math+Club=Fun

By Jamie Chadd

Math Club's main purpose was to promote interest in mathematics and create a social setting.

True, they did practice math problems, but that's not the only thing they did. They had practices twice a month, they sponsored fund-raisers, they attended card tournaments, and had social nights and special parties.

They also attended many different competitions, including those at LNE. One of their most important tournaments was on UNL Math Day.

"Math Club gave me a chance to be around other people who had similar interests," said sophomore Nicole Otto.

Anyone can join Math Club if they wanted to. Plus if you are good enough, you have an opportunity to earn a letter.

Down the Tracks

Model Railroads was a club that helped Northeast stud,ents learn more about how to make and conduct model railroads.

Model Railroads was not a club that the students could just sit back and relax in. The members at all times had to get involved with the project that they were working on. "It was very hands on," replied sponsor Lynn Schoening, "but it was also a lot of fun."

The main goal for this club was to butld a model railroad which the members displayed in the Spring Model Train Show.

Model-Railroads to many of the member's eyes was something else besides a club. "It is a life long hobby and it sparks my interest," commented senior Scott Keys.

Just Chillin'

By Allie Peters

This year the 25 active members of the Native American club had a goal. The goal was to fundraise, so that all of the members could participate in Pow-wows that occured in the Spring.

On November 13th and 14th, the Native American Club attended the UNL Powwows. To make this possible, they sold Indian tacos, they had a raffle, and they made arts and crafts to sell.

Sophomore Ivana Rabago said, "Our club is made up of people from Native American backgrounds, but from different tribes, so we learn from each other."

The club members also got together with other Native American clubs at other schools. "We got to chill and hang out with people that understand each other," said sophomore Lucy Grant.

This group definitely had attitude, and you can tell by their name. This is the first year for this dance squad but they seem to be making a name for themselves.

This 1O member squad seemed to have a lot of fun together.

"Dancing has given me a chance to get to know other people on my squad and I had a good time," said freshman Jenny Bodfield.

This year, they performed at the Northeast Strutter show and the East drill team show. They also performed during halftimes at J.V. basketball games.

"I liked dancing on this squad because we had good music and we had fun," junior Vontrell Jiles commented. ·

Positive Experience

By Dustin Oltman

This club was comprised of members who have known each other for many years.

Two times a week the members got together and practiced. Usually they talked about and tried to figure out different complicated problems.

At the end of year the students tested their knowledge and creativity against others who had the same interest. At these competitions, they were given a problem that they had to figure out with an interesting solution.

Odyssey of the Mind helped the members learn about how to be more creative, how to work with others and how to be a good leader.

"It builds teamwork," said freshman Jenna Smith.

"It was a positive experience," stated freshman Brad Pearson. "Plus, you could put this experience down on your resume or college application."

O.L.A.S., which stands for the Organization of Latin American Students, was the only club at Northeast for Latin-American students. Though the group has not had a great amount of participation in the past, this year the club size has grown and had become more active.

"Everybody was starting to get more comfortable with each other and therefore we were having more fun as a club," said Hilda Osorio, a senior.

In December, O.L.A.S. was planning a dance for late in the year in conjunction with Student Council. They planned a trip at the end of the year for those who participated in at least one activity during the whole school year, and also planned on participating on Diverstity day in April.

Expanding Horizons

By Dustin Oltman

Opera Club was a small group of seniors who were interested in enjoying opera music.

This club was different than other clubs because they didn't meet during club day. The members usually met every other Monday afterschool or in the evening.

"It was not a club that the students could go to just to get out of class," responded sponsor Laurie Collingham, "it was for people who really cared about expanding their horizons."

Mainly what the club did was watch opera movies or they went and saw one. This personal bonding helped bring the club members closer together. "Experiencing a beautiful art of work together created a bond," replied Collingham.

The one problem that this club had to face was the fact that all of the members were seniors and there won't be any continuing members for the next year. What the club needs are some "Adventurous souls," to take a chance and give the club a try for the years ahead.

Outdoor Adventure Club finished its third year at Northeast. The attendance for this club had skyrocketed and it is going as strong as ever.

Sponsor Troy Heller must be doing something right. Not only did the members have a chance to get away from their parents, for the weekend , they got the opportunity to see things from a different point of view .... like from a cave.

The members started the year off with a biking trip to Pawnee Lake. They also planned many other trips over the course of the year such as rock climbing, canoeing , and caving.

A traditional event that the Outdoor Adventure club continued this year was the "Night Under the Stars ," at Mahoney State Park.

In junior Pat Genrich's words , Outdoor Adventure club was , "an action packed hour of fun! "

Sweet Memories

By Jackie Mateer

Almost everyone at Northeast has been in a · Career Education class. You remember how we all had to make those nice portfolios of the things that we did in high school , junfor high, and out side of school .

Well , Portfolio Club was just an expansion of where that class left off. The personnel in the Excel Center helped the students expand their portfolio. Such as make changes, add new items, and create a different portfolio if needed .

"We gave students one day a month just to work on their portfolios, " replied sponsor Tim Nilsson.

The whole purpose of this club was to help you out later on in the future. These portfolios are good for you to take to interviews and to remind you not to forget every award or honor you have recieved.

"The reason why I' m in this club was because • it helps me keep my stuff together ," responded

senior Alicia Simmons.

We Will Be There

By Dustin Oltman

The Red Cross Club was formed, to teach highschool students about the American Red Cross and what they can do in case of a emergency.

"We do activities, that are parallel to what the Red Cross does," said sponsor Sara Rouleau.

Some of these activities they did, were holding a food drive for the families, in the Chateau Apartment Buildings, that burned down, earlier this school year, and learning standard CPR and first aid. "We stress the importance of CPR and first aid in this club," commented the other club sponsor Linda Maly.

The students were also taught to always be aware of their surroundings. In case of a disaster, they should know what to do if it is in their abilities. Sophomore Jennifer Bakker replied, "Our main focus, is to help people in ways that we can."

Reading Stressed

By Jackie Mateer

Read a good book lately? Rocket Readers spent club days discussing books on certain topics for each club nay.

During the ,1 eetings, club members would take turns and would tell a little about a book they had read. Then people in the group were free to ask questions.

I bet you can guess where they met. The library, of course. Their sponsors were Nancy Larimer and Anita Schroeder, who were both a perfect fit to be the club sponsors.

"You have a certain relationship with the book," replied Larimer. Once when the group was discussing computers taking the place of computers in the future, she said, "who wants to cuddle up with a computer?"

"I met other students who liked to read because most students don't like to admit that they like to read," commented sophomore Emily Abbott.

Emily Abbott debates with Mrs. Larimer about a book's content.

Mind Challenges

By Sara Guittar

"You can do different things and it's nonrestrictive, so you have more freedom to do the things you want to," said Keith Lile, a senior, about Science Olympiad.

In Science Olympiad, the members of the club participated in two tournaments and the Quiz Bowl competition near the end of the school year.

Everyone in the club had the choice to decide which event they wanted to paricipate in and during the year they worked on that project, perfecting their own methods.

The members of Science Olympiad did get a break every once in a while by going bowling or pfaying LaserQuest evenings.

Aimee Turner, a senior, commented, "Science Olympiad is interesting and fun!"

Who was on Star Wars? If you have no clue what the answer is , just ask one of the students from the Science Fiction Club.

All of the members researched information on subjects that dealt with questions like that, so they are well prepared to answer them.

They tried to go to the premieres of all those cool sci-fi flicks, like Star Wars. They also met at each others houses to watch the newest episodes of Star Trek and other shows.

This year they did a little exploring into 3D animation. Do you know that Jaba the Hut wasn 't a real person that was just dressed up? He was 3D animation. Pretty neat, huh. Information like that and more were jammed packed in every single club meeting.

Communication!

By Jackie Mateer

Communicating with someone who is unable to hear can be a very difficult thing to do unless you know Sign Language. So what better thing to do than to form a club that teaches students how to communicate better with all different types of peopte.

Students in this club spent their time learning Amerincan sign language. They learned where it came from, who uses it to communicate, and how to sign.

Junior Erin Painter said, "I was in this club because it was something I worked with in my life."

This type of communication will be a very important tool to these students in the future. "I liked this club because I got to learn more about sign · language and how to communicate with other stu- · dents and people that I will meet in my life," replied junior Billy Jo Trimmer.

Celebrate Culture

By Sara Kehr

The 15 members of Slavic Club spent every club day celebrating Russian culture. Along with celebrating, they learned a lot of new things. Most of the members were in Slavic because it is unique. " I wanted to learn a rare language most people don't speak, " commented freshman Ryan Spillers.

They participated in several different activities to learn about the culture. They got to try new foods, play new games , and watch Russian movies. They also listened to a speaker from UNL who talked about the country and the people of Russia.

There were several different Russian displays at Bridging the Gap this year. They also participated in the Language Fair at UNL, reading poems and performing skits.

"It's fun getting to know Russian students in high school," said junior Christina Habel.

Soda Collectors was a small club for students who love trying and learning about different sodas.

Around 10 members met every club day to sample a variety of export sodas. They discussed different types of bottle caps and different types of bottles.

"I've learned a lot from being in this club," commented sophomore Katie Linke.

They also got to explore the internet to expand their knowledge of sodas and where they came from. The different kinds of sodas they tried in this club came from places that the sponsor Phil Pfeiffer has been on .

The main goal for Soda Collectors was to help students learn more about sodas they had never heard of before.

Special Times

By Allie Peters

A fairly new club at Northeast, the Special Olympics Club, has already achieved many of their club goals.

The Special Olympics Club has three major sports that they play; bowling, basketball and track. For the track team, they competed at an area meet. Those who won went on to participate in the State meet. During these State meets, the top three participants were awarded medals, and for the area meets, the top three received ribbons.

The club, also held a 500-by-2000 fund-raiser, which meant to raise $500 by the year 2000. This helped to buy the 10 team members uniforms and a banner for their march in the Parade of Athletes.

The main goal for the team was to be able to participate, and not to win. Plus it was an opportunity to make new friends, with similar interests.

TAG 9-1 O was a club that provided several · enrichment activities for high-ability learners.

This group of freshmen and sophomores did a lot through out the school year to enhance their studies and to get prepared for the real world. They toured the UNL campus and met with the director of UNL ' s honor program. They also visited several businesses around Lincoln to answer questions about careers after high school life.

"It's a lot of fun. I liked going on the field trips, " said sophomore Nie Fargo.

TAG 9-1 Owasa great opportunity for students to meet with fellow students who had common academic interests. The members also had the chance to take differentiated and advanced place-

Getting Ahead

By Jamie Chadd

Everyone has their own unique talents, and that was what this club was for. "We explored our talents and gifts," said senior Jay Landstrom, "I think mine was sports."

The club gave students the opportunity to get ahead in life and to use their talents to benefit themselves and others.

This year the group went on a UNL Honors tour, with a turnout of 110 students. They planned a Southeast Community College/Lincoln Discovery Tour, a Career Exploration Day, a Cultural Arts Tour, and a District Office Workshop.

Overall, it gave challenges to any and every student at Northeast. Anyone is capable of getting ahead in life, they just have to take the initiative.

With mostly guys and only two girls, the club members of Trapshooting all agreed on one thing ... the club was a great hobby that they could do for the rest of their lives.

The trapshooting season began in the middle of February. The team practiced throughout the week and on Saturdays they competed. For the members it was exciting because they got to shoot their own gun.

Trapshooting , if some don't know , is shooting discs. This sport has grown more popular than ever in the last few years.

Sophomore club member Shandra Yost described Trapshooting as, "it is not just a guys sport, it is also a girls, too. "

Uniting Together

By Dustin Oltman

The main purpose of the Unity Club was to show Northeast students that they should not exclude other people from their group of friends.

Racism and bigotry was not allowed at all in this club. Everyone was taught to come together and work as a whole. "This club showed me how to be more accepting to others," commented freshman Jessica Weixelman.

Besides making changes with Northeast, the Unity Club also informed the students of violence in today's society. One of the major topics that came up frequently in their meetings, was school shootings.

"We need to keep our society from decaying," said Weixelman. The Unity Club made unity bracelets to show others that people need to make a change, and unite.

In the long run, the Unity Club also helps all the students be more aware of their own actions. It shows them that what they say might hurt the feelings of someone else. "I'm more aware of what I say," replied junior Uyen Nguyen, "because it might affect others. "

Always Welcome

By Allie Peters

Welcome Rockets was a club that helped new students feel more comfortable at Northeast. They did this by giving them tours, to adapt to the Nortneast environment.

After the new students had a chance to 'mix in' gain the knowledge about this school, the Welcome Rockets members had a party for them each quarter. The parties were useful to check up on how things were going , and to see if there was anything else that the members could do to help them feel more welcomed.

A main activity for the club members of Welcome Rockets was to put together a scrap book. The Club began this process at the December meeting and had planned on it being finished by February. This was to help new students have a chance to see what Welcome Rockets is all about.

Rules Don't Apply

By Sara Kehr

Even though Word Games had only a few members, it was filled with exciting games and plenty of things to do.

There was a variety of games, which ranged from Scrabble to Upwards, that was played every single club day. Each member had the opportunity to try out different games they had never played before. This often was the only time they had to relax and play new games.

Junior Sara Hoffer commented, "the games make you think and they also build your vocaublary."

But the students didn't always play the games by the rules. "Making our own rules was more fun," replied Hoffer.

Along with playing different games, they got to hang out with their friends, make new ones and they had a lot of fun.

Getting Involved

By Dustin Oltman

Young Democrats was a club for those who wanted to get involved in political campaigns.

"I'm a young democrat," said sophomore Matthew Hibbings. "I like getting involved in politics."

The members of this club took part in many different activities. They attended seminars, met with other Young Democratic clubs, and they participated in campaigns and rallies.

This club showed everyone that teenagers had a big role in today's society. "We are involved in today's political world," responded sophomore Matthew Hayes.

One thing that this club stressed the most was the number of members who signed up. The Young Democrats club welcomes everyone with open arms. The experience was "fun and excit-

Does making movies and playing with computers sound like fun? How would you like to work with computers to create a movie? Well, that's what the members of this club did.

"We got to be creative and we worked on a movie," replied sophomore Bryan Trook.

The time spent on the project for this club was pretty hard to imagine. But, club members seemed to be able to handle it.

Sponsor Deb Venema commented, "I was sort of interested in this kind of computer animation and two students suggested starting this club."

You don't need to know anything about computer animation because like Venema said, "we learned from each other."

Challenge Accepted

By Sara Kehr

This years Student Council spent lots of time planning the Columbine Assembly held at the beginning of February.

Two students from Columbine along with a Northeast alumini and Mayor Don Wesley came to Northeast to talk about tolerance and acceptance. Senator Bob Kerry was unable to attend but he wrote a letter that was read aloud to the Northeast student body by one of his assistants.

"The Columbine Assembly was put together in the hope that we_ can spread equal acceptance at Northeast," commented junior and Student Council president Brad Wilber.

There was a candle lighting ceremony held while members of Student Council and Unity Club read out loud twelve words of wisdom, Voices n' Harmony was there and performed two songs during the assembly.

Along with the assembly itself, there were several discussions in the classroom before and afterwards. These were mainly about acceptance, tolerance, and how Northeast handles situations like these.

Art is Everywhere

By Dustin Oltman

LNE fine arts consists of all of the vocal music groups , all of the instrumental bands and student art. All are considered to be types of artforms.

· To most students , art comes very naturally to them, but practice also helps to perfect. " It comes natural to me, " said junior Silhouette Crystal Green , "because I sing all of the time. "

Be ing involved in fine a rts can also help you in your social and educationa l life. It helps build friendships and helps keep your concentration leve l up

" I have made a lot of friends in band ," responded marching band jun ior , Christina Habel. "We all have similar interests in mus ic. "

Usually , our music groups are very diverse. But when a group works together , they start to become one. This is good, especially when you have an audience.

Unlike music, student art is basically a collection of individual artwork. But just like the groups, a collection of the art forms something bigger.

"Art is a way to express one's feelings , without speaking ," said Green.

Destination: Miami & The Orange Bowl

By Jackie Mateer

This year, Northeast's Marching Band and Star Strutters spent the New Year in Miami, Florida. They traveled 36 hours on five chartered buses to reach the Orange Bowl. There were 177 students and 45 parents and staff members who made the trip.

They went to Epcot Center, the beach, and to a medevial time's show. Band Director Janet LaFollette said, "What I enjoyed the most was the beach because it was perfect weather and everyone was having a good time."

Now that you know all the fun that they had in Florida, the reason for the trip was to perform at the halftime of the Orange Bowl. They also competed for the pre-game performance. Besides competing in the Orange Bowl, the students marched in a parade at Universal Studios, Florida.

Junior Ashley Deichert commented, "It was a great experience that none of us will forget."

All That Jazz!

By Allie Peters

The one thing that all of the members in Jazz Band could agree on was that it was a fun class to be involved in.

The band competed in a variety of contests. They attended the Greeley Jazz Festival in Greeley Colorado. and their main goal was to get to number one at the Belvue East Jazz Festival.

"It was a load of fun, " commented junior Calvin Hughes, "we played a lot of fun music." Some of the music that the band played included jazz and swing.

The experience that the members witnessed in Jazz Band was something that most always dreamed of

"Playing in Jazz Band had always been something that I always wanted to do, " replied junior Cody Eastman.

Practice Pays Off

By Sara Kehr

Symphonic Band was a chance for students who loved music to get together and play different instruments to make a great sounding band.

"I enjoy music and anything that invo lves it," commented senior Lera Spale.

This year they performed at several concerts and played all different types of music. They played holiday songs, patriotic songs, marches , and classical music. They also were able to compete in the LNE Invitational with other Lincoln schools.

It took lots of practice to get a big band to come together and play their music as well as they did. They had to practice every day during school and many students also took time outside of school to practice.

"It was fun, entertaining, and it was the only creative thing that I'm good at," said senior Aaron Klosterboer.

Time to Notice

By Desiree' Schaffert

A mixture of violins, basses, cellos , and violas, were what made up the Orchestra, which was quite different from a regular band.

"Orchestra was a change of pace from other classes," said junior Anh Nguyen, who played the violin.

Dong Lu a string specialist, taught music theory and music notation to the Orchestra students, which helped them perform at their concerts and events

The students prepared and performed a concert at least once a semester. The Northeast Orchestra also played with other high schools at All-City.

Many of the students took Orchestra very seriously and they believed that it was a big part of their lives.

"Orchestra has matured a lot and it is time that people noticed, " said Nguyen.

One Great Sound

"Voices 'N Harmony was 18 voices who came together to make one great sound," commented junior Becky Terry.

The members of this class were involved in a lot of events throughout the year. They performed in the annual Rock Show, traveled to Greeley, Colorado to sing at the Jazz Show, competed at the University of Nebraska, and helped in the community at Christmas.

Voices 'N Harmony knew exactly when to have fun, and when to be serious.

"The class was usually laid back but when we needed to get things done we buckled up and worked," replied Terry.

Though the class could have been stressful at times, the members found that satisfaction from others made it all worth while.

Music Dedication

By Desiree' Schaffert

Chamber Singers was a music group that consisted of 18 students. Most of which were juniors and seniors, but there was one sophomore.

This year the members performed in the Rock Show which was an annual music concert that took place at Northeast.

"I've learned more about styles of music and it helped me to understand each better," said junior Matt Pierce.

The Chamber Singers sang pieces from the Baroque era and they also sang a lot of Latin music.

"We've came a long way since the beginning of the year with a lot of hard work and dedication," replied senior Kristi Rost. Pierce agreed that, "everyone worked hard and we worked to our fullest ability."

Taking a break

One Busy Group

By Sara Kehr

The Northeast Concert Choir was kept very busy this year with several concerts and other activities. This year there was around 70 sophomores through seniors that participated. In the fall, the Conert Choir performed the musical "State Fair''. "It was a lot of hard work but a lot of fun, " commented senior Simon Gonifas. ·

Next, they participated in the Christmas Conert at Northeast and the Candlelight Gala at the Cornerstone church downtown. They performed with other schools in and around Lincoln and at the All City Competition held in Lincoln.

They got to travel to Kansas City to perform and to have fun at World 's of Fun. At the end of the year they performed one last concert at school and then sang at graduation.

Junior Becky Terry said, "it was a lot of fun, and it was neat to see the progress we made."

The Concert Choir also did several fundraisers to raise money for the musical and other activities that they were involved with.

Blast to the Past

By Jamie Chadd

Meistersingers is a select singing group led by Carol Meyers. This is a class of 16 juniors and seniors.

This group sings mostly acapella, which means no instruments, but on certain occasions they used tamborines, bells, and other small instruments.

Each year this group travels to Kansas City to participate in the Renaissance Festival. In December, the Meistersingers held an annual dinner, and throughout the year they performed ·in many different concerts and performances.

"We don't just sing, we have fun and we all hang out and have a blast," commented senior John Edwards. Another fact about Meistersingers is that every student designs and makes his/her own medevial outfit. /

Silhouettes was a select group of girls grades 10th through 12th, with approximently thirty members.

This group got to perform music of all different backgrounds. This music consists of different languages and different time periods. Which includes popular tunes that every one knows. The director of this group was Mrs. Meyers, who was one of Northeast's vocal music teachers.

Singing, dancing, and having fun were just a few ways to describe the Silhouettes. The enthusasim of this group was beyond any other. These girls from the day they entered this class were expected to perform and amaze their audience with their talent and abilities.

Junior Aimee Ludemann commented that, "Silhouettes was a great oppurtunity to gain confidence and have a lot of fun."

The Silhouettes also performed at many different middle schools in the area and at Kimball Hall. In addition, they performed at several different school activities. These school activities included the annual Soup Supper and the seasonal concerts.

Sophomore Select was a select group of 32 sophomores who performed in various events during the year.

They were able to sing at the Swing Choirfest at Peru State College and took part in the holiday programs at Northeast.

In order to be chosen for the group, its members must audition after being in LNE singers their freshman year. The group was tight-knit , and they agree that this experience was not one they would be likely to forget.

Sophomore Select wasn't always serious

though. ·

"We liked to talk and we were an extremely · social group," said Joey Colson, a member of Sophomore Select.

Work Pays Off

By Jackie Mateer

LNE Singers was a non-select group of 10th through 12th grade students.

They performed at approximately four concerts. One was the annual Soup Supper , in which the environment was very relaxed

"LNE Singers was one of my favorite classes because the atmosphere was very laid back and it was a time to have fun and sing with my friends," commented junior Vontrell Jiles.

"I liked singing and goofing off during this class," said junior Rachel Jackson, "plus we had fun singing and we learned choreography and sign language so everyone could enjoy our concerts."

It looked like these singers had their work cut out for them. Learning music can be a hard thing to do , especially when it involves a foreign language. But at the same time, it could be a lot of fun.

Future Singers

By Dustin Oltman

This year the freshmen had the oppurtunity to represent Northeast High School with their singing abilities.

Most of the members who were involved in Rocket Singers were attracted to the group because they got the chance to sing. Plus, the class brought a positive message to the students. ·

"It kept kids out of trouble," commented freshman Joslyn McSwine, "and it kept them busy."

Rocket Singers also helped students improve on their musical talents. Many of the members in this class will be seen in other music groups in the future years to come. So keep your eyes and ears open for Northeast's future singers

Art can be anything

By Sara Guittar

Art can be everything from vocal music to photography, and even then there is no limit for it.

At Northeast, students have a wide variety of art classes to choose from, including pottery, painting, drawing, acting and band.

Northeast has tons of talent in the art department.

"Art is a way of expressing yourself and your feelings, " said Hilda Osorio, a senior. "Art can be anything. "

To some that may seem the things philosophy classes are made of , but if art is a way to express yourself, then what is different about singing , dancing , or acting? The answer is nothing at all.

Art can be and truly is everything at Northeast. "Art is abstract , " said senior Leticia Gomez. "We have talent. "

The Star Strutters performed at the Varsity football and basketball games. They also planned on going to the Orange Bowl this last Decem-

ber with the marching band. The Cheerleaders cheered at football, volleyball , basketball , and wrestling matches. Along with cheering at the games they planned on performing during half time at the Gator Bowl.

Strutter Experience Like No Other

By Dustin Oltman

"It's not as easy as it looks," said senior Megan Zabloski.

The moves may look simple, when the Star Strutters dance, but looks can also be deceiving.

This year's Star Strutters Were involved in many different activities. Some of those asti l, activities, were fundraising, flagging at basketball and foot-

ball games, Harvest of Harmony , the LPS Band competition , NE State Band competion, East Appollonaires Dance Expedition, the Star City/Shrine parades, and the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.

"The experiences we have done , are unlike any other," replied senior Emmy Gellatly.

The Star Strutters also had to practice almost everyday, before and afte rschool. The

practices usually lasted c;1 hour in the morning and a hour and a half in the afternoon. So you can see that being a Star Strutter takes up a lot of your time.

The two big advantages of being a member, is the appreciation from the fans, and becoming friends with the other Strutters.

"You become more than just team mates," commented Gellatly, "you become friends."

There were 12 membe rs on the '99-00 varsity cheerleader squad. All of which spent their summer practicing and preparing for their cheer season. Also, they had those, 'oh so loved' morning practices.

Last summer they attended a camp at Lake Okoboji. There they learned new cheers and different techniques, which they brought back and used in their performances.

Their season was kicked off with a performance at Booster Blast Off where , for the first time in years , they were able to stunt. This was a major opportunity for this

squad.

"It's lots of fun and a great way to hang out with your friends ," commented Senior Cheri Meyer.

Who wouldn't want to hang out with their friends plus be involved in a school act ivity. Senior Tami Wirka stated , "We learned how to work together while having fun. " It looks like being a cheerleader , plus cheering are learning skills for the future.

Cheerleading , to sum it up, is making friends , creating memories , and growing as a person. Those are all experiences that we will all need in life.

Drill Show is Huge Hit

The 14th annual Star Strutter show was a huge hit with big acts from the Strutters , the JV Cheerleaders , Star Studders and Lincoln Northeast's newest edition , the NEWayz dance team.

"I liked it that all the different teams could come together and perform in one place ," said varsity cheerleader Jackie Mateer

Many different teams coming together has always made the Northeast Drill Team Show

a highlight of the year for many members of cheer squads as well as veiwers.

" It was fun to have the kids there ," Jenny Bodfield commented.

Another highlight of the drill team show has always been the younger children that are featured from various schools.

The drill team shows younger children how to perform in front of large audiences so they gain experience and will look forward to performing in their high school years.

Rockets Rush Their Way To State Playoffs

By Noa Craft 2000 ROCKET Sports

The 1999 Northeast varsity football team used a powerful running attack to post a 7-3 record and earn its fifth straight state playoff berth.

"We relied heavily on the run this year," said senior quarterback Jerry Dittenber. "With a running back like we had you'd be crazy not to run the ball."

Junior I-back Nanfwang Mutfwang was credited with the biggest portion of the rushing yards this season, gaining a school record 1,650 yards on 266 carries.

The Rockets were ranked as high as second in the Journal- Star before falling to crosstown rival Southeast.

"The Southeast game was huge. It was No. 1 versus No. 2 and in front of 7,000 plus people, but we just came up short," Mutfwang said.

The Rockets met an underrated and dangerous Millard West team in the first round.

West ended Northeast's season at 7-3.

"When you work real hard at something for so long and it doesn't turn out the way you want it to, it hurts," senior cocaptain Mike Stelzer said of the playoff loss.

The seven wins were enough to give Northeast its 300th varsity football win of allti me. Northeast has a career record of 302-240-9.

JV's Successful Season Helps Gain Confidence

By Aubrey Young 2000 ROCKET SPORTS

The Lincoln Northeast J.V. Football team worked well together. They had positive attitudes , and worked very hard.

At practice they went 100% , giving them the edge they needed to succeed in their goal to have a winning season.

A few injuries set them back in some of their key games, but they still managed to finish the season off at 5-3.

A few pregame rituals helped the superstitious boy's out. Since Zach Jones, and

Andy Harvy were the left side of the line, they sat on the left side of the bus together.

The boy ' s were team oriented from the be9inning, and by the end of the season they had gained the experience they need for the upcoming year.

This year's reserve football team finished with a 2-5 record, but they still had a fun and fulfilling season. Their two big wins came against Papillion and Raymond Central. One of their goals was to beat cross-town rival South-

east. The Rockets were leading until Southeast scored with two minutes remaining "We played really well, but we just fell short of our goal ," said fullback Chuck Gotchal. "Hopefully, next year we'll be able to work past our faults and put out a few more victories." The Rockets practiced hard all season, and worked on their mistakes from games, gaining them confidence.

Solid Running Attacks Key Offensive Explosion for Freshmen Grid Teams

By Aubrey Young 2000 ROCKET Sports

The newcomers of Northeast football experienced it all. From the jitters of not knowing who's who, and where everyone's going to play, to the grueling hardships of conditioning.

"I didn't know if someone was going to play at my position and be better than me, because now all the freshmen from other schools have to be

brought together," said Shawn Votava.

The teams had aggressive running backs, they were all in shape, a solid line, and they stayed focused most of the time.

When Brandon Mothershed was asked about the key to a winning team , he responded, "hard work, dedication, and the team's desire to win."

One of Freshmen Blacks'

greatest victories also falls under one of their team goals.

Their goal was " to just beat Southeast," according to Mothershed. The Rockets did that twice, once by 30-0 . The two teams made good impressions on the coaches and other teams as well. The players improved and they know what they need to do to prepare for next year.

Return

to

Pershing Ends With Early Loss

By Jay Landstrom 2000 ROCKET Sports

Despite being young and inexperienced, the Northeast varsity volleyball team posted a 25-10 season and made another trip to the state tournament.

The team didn't have much publicity heading into the season despite being the defending state champions. That was okay, according to sophomore setter Jenny Stephenson.

"We didn't have a lot of returning players and not having a lot of high expectations helped us play with more confidence because the pressure wasn't there," Stephenson said.

The season started off with a disappointing loss to Lincoln High in the Bellevue Invitational, but the Rockets won four of their next five games to finish fourth in the tournament.

"The Lincoln High game was tough because they were really geared up to beat us, but after that we rebounded well in the tournament," said AllCity selection Mary Mercer.

After a dominating win against Fremont, a tough schedule plagued the Rockets as they lost 6 of their next 10 games. In the consolation round of the Northeast lnvita-

tional, though, the Rockets found their stride by beating Millard South. It was the first win in a 12-game winning streak. During that streak the Rockets won the Heartland Conference Tournament.

"During the Heartland tournament everything came together and we played great. We came together as a team, and showed we were one of the top teams in Class A," said Mercer.

The Conference tournament was also a big step for the Rockets because it came before districts. The Rockets entered their district as the No. 1 seed and dominated Omaha Benson in the first round game. In the championship game, Northeast played a · near-flawless team game that . frustrated Southeast.

"Winning the district championship was a good feeling and it provided a spark heading into state," said junior Kristina Hosek.

The Rockets faced off against Norfolk in the first round match at Pershing. The team played tough, but came up short in its effort to defend the state championship.

"We played pretty well, but we came up short. Norfolk was a good team," said Mercer.

JV s Reach Goal With City Championship

By Noa Craft 2000 ROCKET Sports

The Northeast Junior Varsity volleyball team set goals at the beginning of the season, and then went out and achieved them.

"Our main goal, at the begining of this season was to win a city championship," said junior setter Sarah Marsh.

The Rockets put three regular season losses to Southeast behind them to pull out a 1512, 10-15, 15-2 victory over the Knights in the LPS final.

"We had trouble with Southeast during the regular sea-

son, but we got them when it counted," said sophomore Julie Stelzer.

The Rockets were successful throughout the entire season, finishing 17-4. They had a first place finish in the Trick or Treat Tournament in Bellevue, and a great comefrom-behind win over a strong Papillion-LaVista team.

"We were so successful this year because we didn't have to count on the same person to carry us all the time," said Stelzer. "Someone new stepped up big in every game."

When Focus is Sharp

By Jay Landstrom 2000 ROCKET Sports

The 1999 reserve volleyball team started off the season with a flurry of victories, winning their first five games against quality opponents.

"At the start of the season we were really focused and wanted to win, but after a while we lost some of our focus and that hurt our playing ability," said sophomore Amber Turner.

After that start, the Rockets preceded to lose 5 out of the next 6 matches, with the lone win coming against Millard North.

"We were really upset with our play because we were bet-

ter than some of those teams. Coach stressed that we would win if we would get rid of some of our mistakes ," Turner said.

Coach Michelle Leising was right because the next match was the highlight of the season. The Rockets upset a higher-seeded Southeast team in a three-set thriller. In the championship game , Northeast played East tough and almost game up with another impressive victory.

"The loss in the championship game was dissapointing, but it proved that when we were in top form we were tough to beat ," said Turner.

2000 ROCKET SPORTS

B.T.H.B. started off the intramural season in dominating fashion by strolling their way to the flag football title. B.T.H B. posted a perfect 8-0 record on their way to the title.

"We knew we had the best talent in the league and we just had to go out and compete ," said junior quarterback Jimmy Motz.

B.T.H.B. beat N .S.M. 25-7 in the championship game before 28 fans.

B.T.H.B. scored first when Motz found Noa Craft for a five yard touchdown two plays after Luke Hansen recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff. After N.S.M. answered with a touchdown of their own , the high powered B.T.H.B. offense took off.

,on , Motz led the B.T.H.B. offense on three straight scoring drives that conelle sisted of a 40 yard pass to Hansen , a 10 yard pass to Brook Cutshall , and finally a 35 yard play action pass to Matt Eybel to finish the game off.

"Everybody knew our offense was potent but our team speed on defense was the difference, " said Hansen.

After a roller coaster hoops season, B.T.H.B ended their season as

expected. B.T.H.B. won their first four games , then dropped two in a row , before winning their final four games to end up on top.

After an easy going first couple of games, B.T.H.B. felt they needed a couple of losses as a wake up call.

"For a while we thought just because we showed up we'd win and that ended up not being the case, " said junior forward Jared Hertzel. "Their was no way we weren't taking home the title."

After winning their first two tournament games by 22 , and 36 points respectively, B T.H B. could smell the title

Reynolds and company had a tough going early in the game as they found themselves down 14-8 at halftime, with Reynolds their leading scorer with only 6 points.

After figuring Team #3's box-and1 defense it was all over. B.T.H.B. went on a 12-2 run to close out the game, with Reynolds scoring 10 of those points as B.T.H.B won its second championship in three years, 3630.

Girls Have Fun Despite Inexperience

By Lori Schneider 2000 ROCKET Sports

This year's jv softball team, despite a 9-21 record, had a lot of fun and came together as a team.

The major goal of the season was to defend the city title from last year. They worked hard to defend the title but came up just short, falling to Southeast.

One of the most memorable games of the season was against Omaha Gross, where Sara Pillard hit an over-the-fence home run with one runner on base.

Even though they didn't reach all of their goals, the team had a good and fun season.

Some advice from junior Nicky Miller, "We should either raid Walmart or go fishing."

Improvement is Focus

One of the main goals of this year's reserve softball team was to improve throughout the season.

"When we won it was nice but, improving in each game and playing hard is what we wanted to accomplish," said sophomore Ali Corbett.

After starting the season with two close loses the Rockets rebounded with wins in their next two games against Lincoln High and Fremont. Northeast then split it's next four games before heading into the toughest part of its' schedule. The Rockets played its' next 6 games against Millard schools, and game up

short in all of them.

"The Millard schools were tough, but as we move up to the higher levels and even towards the end of the year, playing these quality team will do nothing but help us," said Stephanie Wells, a sophomore outfielder.

w ells was right as the improved was imminent as they beat a East team that they lost to twice prior, in there final game of the season.

"The win against East was huge because we put our best game of the year together and it will be a building block for the next couple of years," Corbett said.

Rockets Combine With Links to Finish Ninth

By Noa Craft 2000 ROCKET Sports Staff

The 1999 Northeast Gymnastics team was without a doubt a unique one. Unique in that the Northeast team combined with the Lincoln High team to make one.

The co-op team was made up of three girls from Northeast and four girls from Lincoln High. Lincoln High also supplied the team with four boys, making it possible for the team to recieve a team score.

No problems arose within the team eventhough the two schools combined for the team.

"Despite being from different schools we were supportive of each other," said Northeast Freshman Staci Lenertz.

The Northeast/Lincoln High team was led by Lincoln High student Abbie Brink.

"Abbie was a level 10 gymnast and led us with her abilities and her great attitude," Lenertz said of Brink.

Northeast's Pam Moeller , a two year letter winner was also an important ingredient to the Northeast/Lincoln High team

"Pam showed good leadership and was very encouraging to us younger gymnasts," commented Lenertz.

Under the leadership of Moeller and Brink the Northeast/Lincoln High team was very competative.

"We went out there and competed in every meet," Lenertz said.

The Northeast/Lincoln High team finished the season with a ninth place performance in the State meet, held in North Platte.

Consistency Highlights Runner's Season

By Jane Hoops 2000 ROCKET Sports Editor

Not only did the Cross Country team have a good season they also came together and improved as a whole.

The girls team was one of the best teams that Northeast has ever had. In the majority of their meets they finished in the top four The team continually improved with each meet, a crucial part of being successful in cross country.

One of the best meets they participated in was the Omaha Bryan Invite, a meet where each grade races against others in the same grade In that race, which was a longer dis-

tance than usual, the Senior girls finished in first place.

"All in all, the girls team got along really well and motivated each other throughout the season," Jessica Luhring said about the season.

Although the boys cross country team didn 't have as good a season as the girls did, they gained a lot of experience this year.

One highlight of the season was at the Omaha Bryan Invite where the sophomores finished in first place. That finish proved that the boys team has a lot to look forward to in the future.

Young Tennis Team Gains Experience

By Lori Schneider 2000 ROCKET Sports

With a whole new team and not a lot of experience, this year's varsity boys tennis team required a lot of work.

The team's main goal was to win at least one game on the varsity level and go from there. The goal seemed high considering the lack of experience.

The team was led by Paulo Luchiari and Dewey Meister's doubles team. "We speak Portuguese to each other on the court," Dewey says. "Our op-

ponents get mad because they don't know what we're saying."

The most memorable moments of the season were the bus trips and when Dewey Meister had to play barefoot in the state tournament in Omaha.

"This was definitely a building year, but we gained experience going into next year," Dewey says of the team's season. "Let's just say we got schooled a lot."

Better Than Expected

By Lori Schneider 2000 ROCKET Sports

With only two returning members on the girls golf team , not a lot was expected of the young squad.

Surprisingly , the team ended up with a better season than anyone had anticipated.

"One ·of our goals was to place better in every tournament," said junior Jennifer Marr

One of the best tourna-

ments of the season was the Northeast Invitational, where the Rockets placed second, and three out of five players won individual medals.

Returning letterwinner, sophomore Jessie Kramer, was the only member of the squad to make it to the state tournament.

"We had a good season, considering there wasn't much experience," said Marr.

Only Senior Keys 10-10 Season

By Noa Craft

2000 ROCKET SPORTS

Going into the year , the Girls Varsity Basketball team knew they would be counting on their underclassmen to carry a heavy load. With only one senior on the team , many of the juniors and sophomores on the team had to step it up.

The lone senior was 5 ' 9 " center Jane Hoops, who led the team in scoring and rebounding. Jane did much more than score and rebound for the Rockets , though

"Jane 's leadership was crucial for us," Coach John Clark said. "She was the general out on the floor and in practice. "

Jane also felt it was important for her to lead the team.

"With the inexperience on the team I knew I had to be a leader. I tried to lead with

words and by example. "

The Rockets started off the season with three straight losses, and the hopes for the season looked dim.

"We tried to forget about the start of our season, " said Hoops. "We felt like we were starting over after the Christmas break."

Tides turned for the Rockets at the end of the season Under Hoops' leadership, Northeast cruised through the end of the regular season, but came up a little short in their first round district game versus Bellvue East.

"We won four of our last five and I was happy with that," said Coach Clark. "It would

have been nice to play three or four more games ."

"

I was happy with the development of our team ," said Hoops. "We played good basketball at the end of the year and I have high hopes for the years to come "

By Lori Schneider 2000 ROCKET Sports

Despite alosing record of 711, this years J.V. girls basketball team gained valuable experience and learned to work together as a team.

"None of us had ever played together before so we had to get used to each other on the court," says Robyn Hjermstad.

The girls also had to set individual and personal goals with the help of Coach Connealy.

"Coach Connealy gave us a lot of encouragement," junior Carrie Westrick says.

The Rockets played well all season with one of their biggest games against North Platte.

All in all, this year's team gained experience which should help them next year at the next level of play.

Reserves Show Improvement

By Jay Landstrom 2000 ROCKET Sports

Despite finishing the season 4 and 1O the Rocket reseNe's showed improvement and competed tough in every game. · With big wins over Papillion-LaVista, Millard North, and Millard South the girls showed that they will be a quality group in years to come.

After a disapointing first loss to East the reseNe rebounded with avengence to blowout Papillion 38-18. In that game Ali Corbett and Steph Wells bathed stepped with 8 point efforts to lead the team. ·

Millard North was the Rockets next victim after tough back to back losses to Lincoln High and Southeast. The Rocket's posted a 15 point win against the Mustangs. The game was an important win according to Corbett.

"In the Southeast and Lincoln High games thing didn't go our way, but we didn't give up and Coach Wendelin had us welled prepared," said Corbett.

The toughest part of the season was up next for the Rockets as they dropped their next four games. A positive sign though was the Rockets ten point loss to the Links after they previously loss to them by 25.

Northeast split their last four games before the city tournament. The wins over Millard

South and Waverly provided some momentum heading into city.

"We felt we had a good chance to upset Southeast after those wins. Unfortunatley we didn't play a very good game and lost. Overall though I think we really inproved throughout the season," Corbett said.

--Coach Wendelin has a lot to do · with our Improvement."

The freshman girls A and B teams had a tough season winning no games, but they still had a lot of fun and accomplished their goal of working together as a team.

"This season was really stressful," says freshman Joslyn Shandera, who helped lead the team and pump everyone up along with other team captain Katie Kosmos.

Next year the freshman are looking forward to playing games and gaining experience to win.

Becoming better players individually was the theme of this years team. Most players didn't have a lot of experience and wanted to learn more about the game.

"We just wanted to win games," says freshman Tessa Lederer.

One of the best games of the season for the B team was · against Southeast. They were behind until half time despite playing well and came up just short, losing by seven.

Roller Coaster Season Ends in District Setbacl

By Jay Landstrom 2000 ROCKET Sports

After starting the season winning their first 7 games, the Northeast varsity basketball team failed to qualify for the state tournament for the first time since 1993. The Rockets were edged out of the final wild card by Southeast.

It took district wins by Bellevue West, North Platte, Lincoln High, and Fremont to get the Rockets to state but Norfolk beat Fremont, 54-50 in their district final to end the Rockets' run. Despite not making it to the tournament, the season was still fulfilling.

"There's no doubt in my mind that we're one of the top eight teams in the state," said senior guard Luke Hansen.

"We won a lot of close games early in the season against quality opponents but in the second half of the season those close wins turned into losses. I think we might have lacked the confidence we had earlier in the season."

Northeast's first part of the season proved he was right. The Rockets' first big win came against then-top rated Millard West the third game of the year. Junior Jim Motz led the team with 16 points with fellow junior Matt Eybel throwing in 11. The hero, though, was Hansen who, with 3.2 seconds left, hit a game winning free throw line jumper that gave him 15 points for the game and sent the student section storming the court.

"The win versus Millard West boosted our confidence level, being they were rated number 1," said Motz.

Next up for the Rockets was crosstown rival Lincoln High , who was rated third at the time. Northeast led by 13 at halftime, but after a Lincoln High run, free throws by Matt Cruse saved Northeast. Eybel had another big game to lead the team with 19 points.

"People didn't expect us to start off the season that hot, but we knew we could play that well all along," said Motz, who led the team with 17.2 points per game.

The holiday tournament seemed to be very merry for the Rockets. After a 41-point victory over Kearney, North-

east beat a higher-ra r Southeast team by 8, whic l to a showdown versus I High for the LPS Holiday T nament title.

The teams battled thro. out the game but it was a Northeast run that proved t the difference. The win pelled Northeast to a nu r 2 ranking which proved t, their highest of the year.

"After the game we Sc was the first of three to ments we were going to (districts & state) and we \i very optimistic about the ond half of the season," senior Noa Craft, who a aged 1. 7 points per conte

"This season was full c up and downs. But we pi e hard, 32 minutes each ga I Motz reflected.

Freshmen Show Tough Attitudes

By Noa Craft

This year's Freshman A basketball team showed constant improvement and a tough attitude.

The Rockets ended the season with a 1-12 record, posting the i r lone win against a very talented Norris team, when guard Matt Van Egen came off the bench and hit six 3-pointers in the final quarter.

"The Norris game was huge for us," said starting point guard Matt Nehe. "The win gave us a lot of confidence going into the LPS tournament. "

In the LPS Tournament, Northeast met an East team that had already handed them two previous losses.

Northeast played them tough and showed a lot of heart, but came u short in a 78-60 loss.

Wrestling

Wrestlers Show Poise of Veterans

By Aubrey Young 2000 ROCKET Sports

Most people know that wrestling is a sport that requires a lot of one on one competition , but this years wrestling team couldnt have had any more team unity.

If there was one word to describe this years wrestling team: Goals just pops into mind. " Lot's of practicing," say ' s Genrich. "The harder you work, the harder it's going to be, but when you accomplish something it makes it more enjoyable."

Some more goals this years wrestlers had was to have over a hundred pins, place in every tounament, and win 75 percent of their matches.

The team got some much needed leadership from juniors, Nate Ryan, Andy Genrich, and Senior Keith Lyle. The stars of the mat went to Genrich, Lyle, and sophmore Kinsley Johnson.

All three of them went to state with some pretty high expectations. Especially Genrich , who ended up third in last years state matches. This year sort of went the same way, with Genrich placing third in the 103 lbs. division, Lyle placing sixth in the

275 lbs. class , and Johnson ending up fourth in the 175 lbs. divison.

Kinsley was very happy with his turn out for state He felt like he had accomplished a lot because " I've alway ' s came close to beating Billy Alley, and finally I did ", and it couldn ' t have happened at a more important meet.

Overall the wrestlers felt very good about the turn out of their season "We accomplished a lot, and we had a lot of fun. " said Johnson.

Track

Inexperienced Runners Look for Improvement

By Lori Schneider 2000 ROCKET Sports

This years track season should be a tough one with not a lot of upperclassmen and experience. Both boys and girls teams lost all of their varsity sprinters except senior Ted Brinkman, who is one of a few seniors on the team.

On the boys side, high jumper Ty Hahn, sprinter Brinkman and Justin Lanum in the shot put should be athletes to watch.

The girls team will be looking toward Sara Jones in the high jump, Tiffany Ford in the long jump and triple jump , and Mandy Lamb in the hurdles . Both long distance teams return experienced runners like

Jessica Luhring, Molly Alberts, and Josh Snyder. One of the major goals of the season is to qualify as many people as possible for the state meet.

With hard practices , the track team looks to improve as much as possible to achieve its goal.

" I dred running so much in practice , but at meets when you do good you know the hard practices have paid off ," says Junior hurdler Mandy Lamb , a returning letterwinner.

Hopefully, this years team will overcome the loss of many leaders and run well.

The Rockets hope to keep improving throughout the season and create some depth for next year.

Confident Players, New Coach Key Optimism

By Aubrey Young 2000 ROCKET Sports

This year's baseball teams have a lot going for them. The varsity has seven returning letter winners.

"This year we will be focusing on our team motto, I.C.E.," said Luke Hansen.

"The Intensity and Commitment will hopefully pay off with great Execution", said Junior Jared Hertzel.

The varsity team is looking at a tough season with their first two games being on the road, and a lot of the inner-city teams are looking really good. They are looking to bring home the district, and state

titles this year. "We've got a lot of talent this year. I think we 'l l turn some heads," said junior Gator Russo.

The junior varsity team may be turning some heads of their own this season.

"I think this year we will be good in our offense as well as defense. We have a lot of good hitters, and experience," said sophomore Andy Janssen. Some of their goals could include winning the city tournament, and 75% of their games .

The reserve and both freshman teams are hoping to put their talents together and turn out on top by winning city.

With all the athletic ability,

Soccer Team Ready For Breakout Season

By Jay Landstrom 2000 ROCKET Sports

High expectations are what the varsity girls soccer team faces heading into this season, but that doesn't bother senior goaltender Jane Hoops.

"I'm not feeling any pressure going into this season," Hoops said. "The expectations are high but that will only help us keep away from letdowns. We have enough talent to run the table."

The team will be led by one of the most feared defenses in the state, keyed by all-city returners Hoops, and sweeper Jaime Venhaus, along with Heather Bender, Holly Styskal, and Jordan Rice.

"Our defense will lead the charge, we have a real formi-

dable group. Having the best goalkeeper in the state behind us allows us to gamble more defensively which helps us start the offense," said Venhaus.

Offensively, the Rockets will need to score more goals than last year if they want to win their district and go deeper into the state tournament than last year. Jenny Stephenson, Molly Kuchera, Rebecca Hiller, and Morgan Trauernicht are the biggest threats. Strong midfield play from Sarah Marsh, Chrystal Steinhauser, and Becky Terry shows the Rockets have the potential for offensive firepower.

"We want to get better each day and if we do that we think we will have one of the better

teams in the state," said junior Terry.

The junior varsity team has a lot of speed and big play potential. Steph DeWald and Jessie Mahlman will provide most of that. Newcomer

Chelsea Neumann will give the Rockets depth. Goaltender

Molly Seymour will be so front of the net.

New Coaching Staff Leads Rocket Soccer

By Jane Hoops 2000 ROCKET Sports

This year's boys soccer team is out to win some games, surprise people, and have fun. They have a lot of talent and more importantly, they have a lot of people that want to work hard and improve all season long.

The team has a whole new coaching staff. The head coach is Dan Carpenter, JV is coached by Mr. Sass and they have two assistants in Mr. Severin and Mr Gisler. With the new coaches comes a new philosophy towards more team play.

"Coach C. is getting us to believe in each other and to

work hard as a team," said senior captain Tony Marsh.

The team is led by captains Jeff Donohoe, Marsh, and Brandon Marschman. They have a strong, experienced defense, but a little bit of inexperience in the front. The team also has some experienced players that will provide leadership to guide the inexperienced players.

The goals this year are to have a winning season, to win city, and ultimately to qualify for the State tournament. In order to accomplish these goals, "we will have to play our best game every game," said Marsch man.

AmyWe've watched as you've grown from that little blonde start. We've admired your successes while each pain touched our heart. As you walk down that aisle your diploma gripped tight. You know we'll be watching through tears at the sight. Our hope as you walk toward the dreams of your world Is your head be held high, and your character stay bold That you manage your victories with pride and good grace and when short of your goals you just pick up the pace.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

You'll always be our Eveling! We love you!

"I' ll be there " when no one is there for you and you think no one cares when the whole world walks out on you and you think you 're alone when the one you care about the most could care le ss about you when the one you gave your heart to throws it in your face when the person you trusted, betrays you when the person you share all your memories with can ' t even remember your birthday when all you need is a friend to listen to you whine when all you need is someone to catch your tears when your heart hurts so bad you can t even breathe, when you just want to curl up and die when you start to cry after hearing that sad song when the tears just won't stop falling down So you see I'll be there until the end this is a promise I can make if you ever need me, just give me a call and .l' LL BE THERE!!

Love, Dusty

"

The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow seperately without growing apart"

I don't remember how we happened to meet each other. I don't remember who got along with whom.first. All I can remember is all of us together always"

"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry"

A Friend Is One of the Best Things in Life

Though we don 't see each other very much nor do we write to each other very much nor do we phone each other very much I always know that , at any time I could call , write or see you and everything would be exactly the same You would understand everything I am saying and everything that I am thinking Our friendship does not depend on being together It is deeper than that. Our closeness is someth ing inside of us that is always there , ready to be shared with each other whenever the need arises It is such a comfortable and warm feeling to know that we have such a lifetime friendship

Forever Friends

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship

When you ' re down, and the world seems dark and empty,

Michael, My Baby Brother

I'm so proud and honored to have you as my brother. On your journey in life always know that your sister is here for you and I love you. Aim high and settle for nothing but the stars!

Congratulations Kiddo

Your biggest fan, Jen

P.S. Maybe in college you can find ''How to put glitter in your own hair-101"

Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.

Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. lf you turn and walk away your friend follows. lf you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.

Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You haave a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
