You may base how successful your school year was on the grades, classes, and extracurricular activities you took part in. You're best friend however, thinks that their friends, the fun and memories they made, determined it was a successful year. Just how the definition of a good year differs from others, so do the qualities of a "good" TV show. Whether the TV is set on music, history, reality, or the news, TV shows are just another one of the qualities setting you apart from everyone else. TV life may seem perfect, but just like your life, it isn't.

200 surveys were handed out to seniors, juniors, sophmores, a nd freshmen. Only 5 6 came back, and 24% of our students do not have a job and 76% do have a job.
Juggling a high school job can be tough. Life demands money, parents demand good grades, and our bodies demand a good night's rest, yet, many students at Northeast have a job. The two work places that are heavily populated with Northeast students are Hy-Vee and The Legacy Terrace. A job is a great start into the real world when you still have the support of a parent.

One big word that that pumps up everyone to dance, cheer, and get dressed up, is homecoming! • • From getting your hair done, to buying a freshly pressed button up shirt, homecoming is the perfect way to end Spirit Week. Spirit Week is the week building up to homecoming night, where students are privileged to wear wacky clothes according to the themes chosen by our cheerleaders. Along with Spirit Week, we were also awarded the right to hold our first Pep Rally in over thirty years.

Candlelight is a dance that junior girls put together. They pay out of their own pockets, so it can be stressful for them. This years group was bigger than the years before. The dance was held on February 21 at the Del Ray downtown. This year's theme was Viva Las Vegas. "It turned out really good, super sweaty and the D.J. was cool." Stated Hanna Beck. The committee consisted of Kari Molinaro, Kelcy Edstrom, Emily Green,
Hanna Beck, Andrea Piishi(Jg, Molly Snoozy, Sarah Larson, ~hley Sanchez, Kelsey Sanchez, Ciara Htegeholz, Kiauna Mason, Shay Smith, and Brandy Singleton.

enior year approaches faster than som may think. As you walk the halls seein the faces of kids you've gone to school witfu for the past four years, you don't realize that this maybe the last time you' 11 get to see the the people you've became accustomed to seeing each day. Soon enough, we'll all be moving on from high school and starting our own lives, outside of the 'he said, she said' drama, worrying about if our hair looks good, and who's dating who. When graduation day finally arrives, you're sitting next to the friends that have got you through the past four years, you look up in the seats, and see your family and closest friends, you start to look back at the past four year and realized it passed in the blink of an eye. There is always going to be those things you wish you had done, things you wish you would have said. Don't walk off of the stage, tassel turned to the right with the 'coulda woulda shoulda's' running through your head. Walk off the stage with your head held high, and the memories of the firsts and lasts you experienced, the lasting friendships, the crushes, the awards and achievements, taking your team to state, and every inute in-between running through you head.

Although you're still not considered upperclassmen, you're not underclassmen either. You're in the middle. It may not be the highlight of high school, but you can still make it worthwhile.
Alyssa Jensen likes being a sophomore, because she doesn't have as much homework as she did freshman year. Th·s may be the same for other sophomores, t o.
Mattie Wenzl said, "I like being a sophomore, because I like being friends with the upperclassmen and being ab e o dri e."
There are advantages of being a sophomore than a freshman. You're no longer the annoying freshmen stereotype, you can go to candlelight, and you can finally drive. Also, you don't have to take the GOE if you already passed, meaning you get to sleep in later.
CJ Pickrel and Morgan Christle both agree that they are looking forward to going out for lunch next year, as many other sophomores would agree. You will also probably look fo ard to p rkin in the lot. Man are lookin forward to prom and finally being considered an u~ erclassman.

This is the story of fifty-seven football players, picked to play on the varsity team, work together and try to succeed to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real... The Real World LNE Varsity Football.
Doubted, head turning, fighters and ruthless is how the football team of 2009 described themselves. With many different elements against them they came through and made it to the first round of play-offs and ended the season with 4-6 record, the overall feeling was success, whether the stats showed it or not.
The feeling at the end of the 2009 school year was less than happy, but through the summer after rigorous practices and conditionings the players were all happy with how Coach Justin Smith had taken over " It was difficult being a senior after being on varsity for two years and having to reprove myself," says senior Jordan Leach.
With similar feelings junior Chase Drews states, "Not only did we handle the season well, but it was cool having a new coach. Having to change from playbook to playbook was the hardest part."
Another surprise of this year was having a girl on the team. Though junior, Claire Borer, was just the kicker the team looked at her as an equal. " The only difference between her and us was where she changed before and after practice," says Senior Jordan Hopwood.
When asked how he thought of the team this year senior Drew Broers' onl re I was, "Cham ions."

So wisely stated, "The season didn't go exactly as planned (mostly because you can't plan for Mono, torn ACL's and concussions) but as a whole we made many improvements and grew closer. We came together to get the job done no matter who was playing," says senior Anna Kroos.
Volleyball was a sport to be given a new coach as well. Going through new drills, positions and formations, was no small feat for this year's team. "It was hard to adjust at first," says Junior Ciara Hegholz. "Coach Songster was really good about working with us and focusing on fundamentals," reported senior Charli Heath.
The general consensus of the season, though a re-building year, was much around being a large family, growing and learning together as a team, learning new thin s about voile ball and bein an athlete.

Our Rocket runners pride themselves as being one of the hardest working teams in the school and for putting up with the most rigorous work to obtain their victories for our school. Also, the team is a tight group, supporting each other th rough thick and thin, and maintaining a strong sense of teamwork. Many of our runners have faced injuries and then returned, feeling no less love for the sport. Runners take their strength from their families, their beliefs, and from each other. Finally, all of our runners must maintain high-quality schoolwork and a great community standing to remain on the team; lose this and Coach Snoozy will "Jack you up!"

Junior Dillon Gushard enjoys playing basketball this season. He said that although the snow days made things hectic and that the team got out of shape, they all managed to pull it back together. "Our current record is 5-8. We have four games left, plus the tournament," said Gushard. "I think our team will do pretty good the rest of the season. Although there's always things to get better at, we all get along really well." Our JV boys don't have any basketbal I rituals before their games. "We do the same warm-up before every game, I guess that's the closest that you can get to a 'ritual"'.

This year, our JV girls team has coached by Mike Boshart. They had a rough year, but the team enjoyed each others company. Many of the girls had similar personalities, which maked it easy for them to get along and understand each other.
Sophomore Lizzy Aylward said, "Having a good game or practice makes our team much closer."
Junior Kelsey Sanchez added, "I really enjoy being able to spend time with my friends. I don't always get to see them during school. Plus, they're like my second family."
With days worth of practice, they continued to become better and better each day. The players seemed to enjoy • what they did since most of them had been playing basketball since their freshmen year, if not longer. A few of these players are not sure if they are going to continue playing next year.
The team started out with a rough season, but as time went by, the JV team made progress and began to win games. Sanchez believed it was because they were so sure about winning, that they would loose their lead in the fourth quarter.

"We help tape athletes who are injured and to pr event injury, get ice, help Megan a~d Derek with whatever they need. I like taping and just hanging out with everybody when we have down time" replied Eric Hinton. Injuries range from sprained ankles to rehabbing fr o m surgery. Alicia Bucci likes "Helping people with injuries and working with Megan and Derek." "Meeting all the new athletes and I like how ESPN is always on" is what Ben enjoys most. If all goes well, down time gives the trainers time to visit with Megan • and Derek.
Tony says "What I like i~ to tape people and when there is nothing to do we all watch ESPN." ....

Throughout life you're told numerous sayings about life, one being \\high school will be the best time of your life."
Believe it or not, listen to the cliche sayings you have been told all of your life, don't only explore the meanings, but live by them. Don't let high school be something you regret. Let it be just that, 'the best time of your life.' Because just like any other experience, you will never get it back. Live everyday as if it's yourr la5t. Stay -true to who you are and what you stand for, but never be too scared to try something out of your element. Failure is not the end of the road.
Never worry about the end hat is near, think about what the end has to off er.
