"School spirit is just a way of saying, 'Hey, I like this place' ."

-Junior Brady Dresselhaus

-Senior Megan Euler

"School spirit is what should set apart a school from all others "

-Junior Natalie Spar

"School spirit is going to football , basketball, and volleyball games and watching the game; not going to be seen ."

-Junior Amanda Valentine

"Being true to your school, just like you would to your girl or guy."

-Senior Eric Haszard

"Not only attending and supporting Southeast events, but being able to say, 'Southeast rules' when surrounded by students of rival schools and think nothing of it ."

-Junior Justin Vala

"Having pride-school spirit is not just wearing the clothes If someone puts down your school, you stick up for it ."

-Junior Brad McBride

"School spirit means·showing support in some way ii') a school event, not only sports, but theatricals, musicals, even club events "

"I think school spirit is showing support in your school and going to some school events ."

-Sophomore Clay Jaeger

"Having respect for and putting forth effort to make Southeast a better and funner place to be for you and fellow alumni."

New Club bdefines t elai11 of Sirit

When Southeast students think of spirit, they think of a sea of Knights crowding the stands At chilly football games or inside at wrestling meets, one may remember the devo t ed cheerleaders, fans , and band members cheering the school on to victory

Southeast has always been known for its faithful fans In the past students ' enthusiasm has been shown through many examples of creative expression, such as pa inted bodies and wacky costumes To ensure that these traditions live on, the Southeast Spirit Club was organized this year by seniors Marie Milligan, Linda Ewell, Liz Brandle, Toni Ahrendt , and teacher/sponsor Nancy O' Brien "Southeast has so much potential for all kinds of support, " Milligan said, "With this club, it gives an opportunity for everyone to get involved ."

Earlier this year the faithful founders of this club sat in front of the office trying to grab the attention of curious onlookers The word of the new club spread quickly and around 75 students signed up. "Even if you aren 't in the club, you are welcome at the games ~o show your

support, " Ahrendt commented. "We are just there to get things rolling ."

The Spirit Club met numerous times throughout the year through club day meetings and meetings after school. The founders stressed to their club members that the club was for everyone. "You can do as much as you want or as little as you want," Ahrendt commented "Our goal is to show our support and have fun ."

"We also wanted to give the band, cheerleaders, and Shirettes support for everything they , do," Milligan remarked With this idea in mind, the Spirit Club made locker signs and showed their support with their own cheers for the two above-mentioned Southeast groups. Another fun experience was to decorate students' cars before games and then caravan to the event . "It is always great to see a line of cars driving down the road in black and gold, " Ahrendt said The five seniors are hoping that the club will continue the Spirit tradition "Southeast spirit is really cool and we want students to be proud and never lose sight of their enthusiasm." With the bold colors of black and gold swimming through crowds of supporters, all members of the student body will remember the cheers and yells of Southeast students and the way crease the amount of support at all Southeast the Spirit Club helped to continue this tradition . events "It is really important to see fans at all events , even the smaller, more individual sports, " Ahrendt said While attending the

Arecord breaking 1,200 students jampacked themselves into the north gym to spend "A Knight Around the World" celebrating the 35-0 Homecoming victory against Lincoln High School on September 12, 1997.

Dedicated fans, some already dressed in the dance attire, cheered Southeast on through occasional rain and gusts of wind that loomed over Seacrest Field. The uncooperative rain did not stop anyone at the dance from having a great time though, especially when the announcements for the 1997 Homecoming Royalty were announced. King Jon Bowling and Queen Holly Baack were crowned, with Luke Connell and Angie Wilson the first runners

up

Since the dance immediately followed the game many students, including football players, cheerleaders and members of the band, had little time to get ready for the dance.

"Being in the band, I had to rush home to get ready. I was worried that I wouldn't be there for most of the dance, but when I got there I had plenty of time," senior Jill Renner said. Students were able to dance around the world

at such places as the Great Wall of China, in a ' cafe in Paris, by an igloo in Alaska, and next to pyramids in Egypt "I thought the international theme was cool and student council did a really good job," junior Laura DeWitt said. During the pep rally earlier in the day, football players and homecoming royalty were honored, select clubs spoke and the cheerleaders, Shirettes, flag line, and band performed. Various memories from the day will remain

For others, the entire day was their best memory. "The whole day was exciting It's probably the only time all of Southeast is celebrating school spirit as a whole," senior Lindsay Wright said.

This year's homecoming proved to be the favorite among some students "I went to homecoming as a freshmen because I had a date, so I've gone three times, but I think this year's homecoming was the most fun," DeWitt said. ·

"My sophomore year my date ditched me for an older man, my junior year I had a wonderful date, but my ride ditched me. This year I had a wonderful date and nobody ditched me. It was awesome!" Decker said.

in students' minds for years to come. These might range from a special dance, a remarkable play during the game, or an exciting moment during the pep rally Senior Jake Decker said the most memorable event of the day was "tripping over the podium at the pep rally."

People's dates varied from boyfriends and girlfriends to best friends. Renner went with her best friend. "It was fun just having a girl's night out," Renner said.

"I went with my best friend, :so it was really laid back. I loved dancing with all my friends," Wright said.

Overall, homecoming proved to be a memorable experience that for many students will be remembered whenever feeling nostalgic.

Boys' Cross Country also won the state title, making it their eighth state title "We had incredibly strong unity A team could have all the talent in the wo rld, but if their members don ' t get along , they will want to run individually. We all wanted to run together, " junior Marc Biggerstaff said Varsity football entered into the sem,ifinals of state undefeated and triumphed through the finals , taking the state title. According to senior Joel Stauffer, Varisity football had a successful year because "everyone got along , there were no rivalries or bickering , and we pulled together in times of adversity "

Girls' softball placed third in state after the state tournament was cancelled three times due to a blizzard at the end of October.

Boys' gymnastics completed their season by placing fourth in state "We worked really hard

Kristin Morphew said "We improved a lot as the season went on, but just couldn't pull it out in the end ."

Junior Varsity Volleyball also placed first at the LPS Invitational and finished with a 20-1 record "As a team, we made it our goal to win our two major tournaments. We went into them with such enthusiasm and team pride, we couldn 't help but win No one ever gave up, " sophomore Abby Euler said

1be liz'' Cast lues on Don the bad

This year the Southeast drama department had the opportunity to put on 'The Wiz, " a Broadway musical based upon the classic 'The Wizard of Oz ." It has jazzy/blues music, southern dialogue, and is typical of the seventies . 'The Wiz'' also has a few more differences from the original "Wizard of Oz ." 'The Wiz " has two good witches , Glinda and Addaperle, instead of just Glinda Addaperle is the good witch who gives Dorothy, played by senior Sara Lamberson , her silver slippers. That's right , the shoes are silver instead of ruby. Senior Liz Brandle had the honor of playing Addaperle "I' m glad I got that part because I love the name Addaperle-the feel good girl, " Brandle said Glinda , played by senior Lynda Ewell , is the good witch who tells Dorothy how to use her newly found sliver slippers. The two witches work together to help Dorothy get back to Kansas

Another difference in 'The Wiz " is the addition of some extra characters, the Winkies and the Poppies. The Winkies are the personal slaves of the bad witch, Evillene, who was played by senior Marie Milligan The Poppies role was to distract the Lion, played by sophomore Ben Bear. These differences made the play more entertaining for Southeast students The cast worked hard to put on a great play.

When most kids think of summer they think of long days in the sun, late nights with their friends, and, most of all, no school While the majority of students spent their first few weeks relaxing and unwinding, 15 Southeast seniors spent their first weeks of summer at the University expanding their minds, learning the ways of the government and just having fun

The Nebraska Scholars' Institute (NSI) was a two week camp for select seniors from over the state While at the Institute, students took classes in the fields of arts, humanities and social sciences, and science They chose a field for their major which then constituted for the majority of their classes Students also got the opportunity to take classes in areas other than their majors Each class was taught by a professional in the field, for example poetry was taught by Bill Kloefkorn, the Nebraska State Poet.

Each student left the camp having learned something different. Jill Renner said NSI gave her "a feeling for what college will be like "

Stephanie Taylor noted that "meeting other people with the same interests was cool."

This was the last year that NSI will be affiliated with the University It is moving to Nebraska Wesleyan University where it will become Wesleyan Scholars' Institute The structure of the program will remain the same with many members of the staff returning Although many students are saddened by this move, they feel fortunate that the program will be able to continue

Summer That period of freedom from June 6th to August 25th Whether it's spent sleeping, working , spanning the globe or just relaxing at the pool, it is missed by everyone when the bell rings and the homework once again starts to pile up

Vacations topped the list of exciting adventures over the summer Colorado was a popular vacation spot for many Twelve Southeast students attended Young Life Camp in Buena Vista , Colorado for a week Rappelling down a mountain, bungee jumping, riding dune buggies, playing in volleyball tournaments, and participating in a 14,000 foot hike were just a few of their experiences "It was the most fun we ever had in our whole lives," said junior Melissa Peterson "We met a lot of people from different parts of the country." They also had barbeques, listened to bands, had a carnival and a hoedown

According to Peterson , rappelling was the most thrilling activity. "When you look over the cliff it looks really far down Then you lean back and take a big jump about 200 feet . It's a really pretty view from up there, " said Peterson Several Knights got the European experience dur ing the summer. Seniors Emily Stuckey and Julia Parker visited Eastern Germany on a mission trip for their church They stayed in Berlin for two weeks and also visited Prague in the

Friendships are quite possibly the most memorable aspect of one's high school career. Ten years from now, you might not remember the quadratic equation or what was on your American History final, but you will probably remember the people who formed your high school experience During high school you start to develop adult relationships with other people, friendships that advance beyond the middle school stage. You start to make new friends and possibly lose some of the old As graduation approaches you make plans for the future and wonder who you will remain friends with once high school has ended

Senior Andy Gustafson said, "I think there are some people I will remain in touch with after high school. I will probably go to college with couple of my friends now."

Senior Kastan Rothrock doesn't think she will remain in touch with her friends but says, "If we see each other somewhere we wil recognize each other and will still have these special connections from being friends for so long."

Most students agreed that an important qua I

ity in a friend is someone who respects you and will always be there for you. Gustafson said his true friends are the ones who take him seriously. Rothrock said, 'My true friends have really strong opinions. I can't be friends with people who are wishy-washy and can 't argue with me "

'The best thing about my friends is that they're completely crazy," senior Sunshine Tweton said Her friends can always make her laugh They

Many friendships are based upon common interests, such as various sports or activities Rothrock and her friends spend time going to concerts, parks, and, during the summer , hanging out at lakes Gustafson and hi~; friends like to go fishing.

take their cameras with them everywhere so they can record the happy moments they spend together. "We take a LOT of pictures,"

Tweten said

One of the most important things about friends is the memories you share with then 1 and exploring various friendships to find ou t who you can fit in with best Rothrock think '. ; this is important "Hanging out with the sam E ! group of people limits your ideas. I am friend:; with all sorts of people and have a variety of people I do stuff with on weekends Yo 1J shouldn't be confined to the same friends, hanging out with them all of the time " Though students have different ideas on wh at friendship means, all agree friends are impo rtant.

Iam dream ing of a wh ite Halloween? What started out as a light snowfall ended up as a natural disaster on Saturday, October 25 , 1997 as Lincoln was blanketed with 13 inches of heavy snow. The 200year storm left 70% of Lincoln without trees , heat, lights, cable , and school. Despite the hard work of the Lincoln Electric System workers, Lincoln Public Schools were cancelled for the last week of October due to the lack of heat and electric ity Many homes were w ithout heat until the Friday after the storm "I had to live with my grandparents for a week. It was really hard to flip a switch and have nothing happen, " said sophomore Abby Euler

The snow storm devastated many people Some families were forced out of their cold homes, and into heated shelters Some had to throw away all of their food and Lincoln lost many of Its beautiful trees. '1his yea r's holiday food drive will be especially important because of all of the food that most families lost, " said student teacher Christina Harr ison Even with the extended break, hardly any students escaped cleaning up yards Senior Matt Gulyas spent a few days helping an elderly

"I was at a friend's house when the snow started, and honestly, it began a wonderful week. I slacked off, went sledding and did things I had never done before. I love Mother Nature!"

Chirp, chirp, I'm cold People weren't the only ones who were affected by the storm. A little bird attempts to get food from a frozen bird feeder.

The heavy snow caused the branches that still had leaves on them to break off This is what caused most of the damage. The National Guard came to assist after the storm was declared a natural disaster.

Everyone has heard the Mister Rogers song a million times, but several Southeast students got to take it to a deeper meaning.

As a reward for learning a foriegn language, students had the chance to travel to France or Spain through the Know Your Neighbor Study Tour Many seniors have taken advantage of this trip throughout their high school careers. Usually students are required to take at least four years of their foreign language before they can participate in the trip,basically because of the language differences

"I was afraid that I wouldn't be · able to communicate with them at first," said Stacey Eggers. "I was afraid that no one would be able to understand anything I said! " added Ambra Batson

These trips are a huge opportunity for students "We did a little bit of sightseeing with the group for a few days then we went to

I on't Y01 Be lly Neighhot1

stay with our families They got to choose what activities we did, " said Toni Ahrendt , "I loved going to a French school and sitting in on their English class," she added. Sightseeing was a much anticipated part of the trip for Batson as well. Seeing the Louvre was a highlight for her Needless to say, things are a little bit different in other countries "When I went to England with my family, I had to learn to say W.C. instead of bathroom," said senior Karin Sommer, who went to Spain · this year. Food was also a new expereience. "I hardly ate anything while I was there; most of the food was gross," she added "It was a great experience that gave me the chance to increase my Spanish and learn about another culture, " said Eggers 'Tm so excited to have had this chance If it wasn't through school, I'm almost positive that I wouldn 't have been able to go!" said Ahrendt

If you were to ask a LSE senior, where they work? Most likely they would answer Gallup or HyVee.

Senior Jake Decker decided to work at Gallup because he likes "the enviroment and my bosses, but I don ' t care for the high quotas ." Decker likes Gallup for their great scholarship plan and the moneymaking opportunities He has worked there for over two years.

Senior Kevin Rea has worked at Gallup for a little over a year He enjoys working there because he never has to work on a weekend nights "This Halloween as a bet, Decker and I dressed in drag for a nice bonus on our paychecks, " Rea said

HyVee is another Southeast hot spot for students to earn their spare change Entering HyVee is almost like walking into Southeast, there are so many people who work there Senior Brian Schlattmann who is a stocker/cashier said, "I chose to work there because it was

close to my home and because I had friends that worked there " Schlatmann has been working at HyVee for over a year

Emily James, senior, worked at HyVee for 9 months James worked at the salad bar in HyVee and said, "I really didn't like working at the salad bar but the food fights were always fun ."

Senior Darren Perkins works at both HyVee and Gallup He works a total of 45 hours a week He started at HyVee the August before his junior year and at Gallup the August before his senior year He recounts a memorable experience "I was giving a lady a survey at Gallup and she started screaming, ' My kitchen's on fire , what do I do!? ' I told her to wet towels quickly and smother it After ten seconds of waiting, I asked her if the towels worked and she said, 'No, I put it out with my feet .' Then she finished the survey. " Who said making money was easy?

AFriendship Destinedto Last aLifetime I

Adistant "Hey! " faintly heard in the hallway becomes louder and louder as "jock hall, " the hall connecting "E" and "F" Halls, is approached Once in the hall, it can be seen and heard that the call is com ing from a large group standing by the Blevator Included in the group are seniors Travis Nichelson , Scott Kennedy, Lee Warren, and Andy Gustafson

"Yelling ' hey' started one day when I brought a video camera to school and everybody greeted me by yelling ' hey!' as loud as they could " Kennedy said

Some of this group's free time is spent making movies of moments like walking though the drive-thru at Don & Millie's and getting an employee's phone number at KMart.

Nichelson recounted a memorable experience, "One time we were at Gustafson's house and we decided to go on a large rabbit hunt in his back yard ."

This group proves that there is always some way to stay entertained ''There is always something fun to do, we just have to find it," Kennedy said.

"We went Christmas caroling during the middle of the summer and held our own little concert in front of the Edgewood theaters, " Nichelson said

"Before a party once all the guys went to Hy-Vee on Old Cheney in disco dress and talked to people in the store just for fun ," Kennedy said . Several factors tie this group 's friendship tightly together. "We all get along and share the same interests, " Warren said "When I' m with all the guys, I just feel like I'm with family tha t nothing is impossible to do ," Kennedy said . "My friends are always there for me," Nichelson said "I can tell them anything and not have it end up going around the whole school. " Trust forms bonds that will last a lifetime

Taking in lotber Nature

Backpacking ten to fourteen miles, cooking in the open and sleeping under the stars are common interests of seniors

Mike Wittman and Corey Frey for various reasons

"I forget about the world when I'm camping, " Wittman said ·

"You don't have to worry about civilization--bills, time, the phone ringing, etc., " Frey said Frey and Wittman try to 'ta~e in mother nature ' together about once a month

It isn't hard to forget about life's problems when visiting places such as the Indian Cave State Park in Nebraska, Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, and the Silver Plateau in Red Lodge , Montana

Being surrounded by the beauty and serenity of mother nature can make a person forget that bad things can occur

"The worst disaster was when we were really hungry and were

eating dry oatmeal when we spilled it in the tent and slipped on it," Wittman said "Nothing really that bad ever happens to us; we are fairly safe and take precautions when danger is present," he added 'The water purifier broke on Longs Peak, and we had to boil snow before drinking it, " Frey said, which proves that they can handle tough situations when they come up

Frey and Wittman take the opportunity of being in the "great outdoors " to hike, play frisbee, backpack, and more

" We just relax and have conversations about life, " Wittman said. "I have never had a bad time while camping ."

" No words can explain the feeling while camping People ask 'why do you spend so much money on something so useless?"' Frey said "Being in the wilderness, money can buy nothing." Nature is truly one of the greatest healers

The sound of violins filters through the air, dancing around the room melodically Determinat ion shows proudly on the faces of the musicians For a night, the halls of Lincoln High are filled with music.

Lincoln Youth Symphony (LYS), composed of select teenagers from around the city, rehearses once a week at Lincoln High and performs three times a year The groups musical selections stay within what senior Katie Owen calls "typical orchestral music."

Many of the musicians practice very hard to be in this group ''The fact that everyone in LYS wants to be good an d practices a lot so that they can be good, makes the group sound that much better, " Owen commented

Each student enjoys LYS for different reasons Senior Jane Holsapple likes it because it is "relatively lowstress and definitely worth the time " Owen likes it because she delights in playing with other dedi-

coted orchestral players

Although LYS provides many memorable experiences, certain experiences stand out "LYS took a trip to Mexico in 1996 We played with Mexican youth orchestras and traveled around the country It was one of the most enjoyable trips I've ever taken, " Holsapple said For Owen, the most memorable exper i ence was when she was given the LYS toilet paper by LSE 1997 grad Justin Glaesmann "He got it in Mexico a year before I got in, but he felt compelled to bestow on me a package of tp he got there with the brand name LYS He told me I had to pass it on this year," she explained. Activities like this ensure that the excellent tradition of LYS will continue for years to come Seniors from Southeast in LYS are: Maggie Berndt, Jerusha Hancock, Jane Holsapple, Jennie Langtry, Katie Owen , Seth Rowalt , and Julie Stenberg The picture at left shows Berndt, Holsapple, and Langtry in Mexico during the LYS trip there.

Double Take: Twins at LSE

Looking down the hallways at school, one might do a double take , or notice that there are two people in your classes who look strikingly sim ilar There are several sets of tw ins in the graduat ing class of 1998, and , al t hough not all of them are identical , they are definitely twins

Jim and Josh Rosenberger are ident ical twins Jim was born one minute before Josh and they have been close ever since Elementary schools attempted to separate them , so they did not have any classes together unt il junior high. They also had a class together their senior year "It was kind of we ird at first , but then you get used to it, " commented Jim

There are prices to be paid for having an identical twin " People mix ws up all the time ," said Josh "And when we were little we would always get the same things ," added Jim

Jennie and Kat ie Shamblin also know what it is like to look alike and have people confuse them "When we were little our parents dressed us identically, but I was always in blue and she [Katie) was always i n pink, " said Jennie Although they look alike, the Shambl ins

have very different interests and personalities "Katie is into theater and I am into sports, " remarked Jennie

Often , there are significant differences beteween twins Eric and Craig Haszard were born 22 minutes apart , but from the very start , had "preconceived ideas of who we are, " said Er ic. "We get along sometimes, except when he ' s in a bad mood then we ' re inherently different. "

Jeff and Joel Stauffer have separate interests, but remain good friends "We have most of the same friends now, but we each have our own clearly defined interests We ' re definitely our own people ," said Joel.

It might get annoying to be confused with a sibling, or to recieve identical gifts for Christmas , but the special bond between twins is one that will not be broken Jennie put it best, "My sister is one of my best friends ."

So next time you see a twin in the halls, remember that they are an un ique part of a biological duet Don 't just think of them as a twin, think of them as an individual person with their own interests

Double the pleasure, double the fun . Eric Haszard , Crai g Haszard, Barb Bohn, Steve Bohn, Jennie Shamblin, Katie Shamblin , Dillon Brady, Josh Rosenberger, Jim Rosenberger Not Pictured : Culle n Brady, Jeff Stauffer, Joel Stauffer, Amber Strong, Alesia Strong, Tat e Wright , and Travis Wright

Cis Ior Cookie, That's Good •ougb Ior le

Have you ever heard of the Cookie Palooza? Most students haven't, with the exception of the Cultural Foods class who baked non-stop for five or six weeks first semester in order to hold this activity

"We baked until we dropped! " exclaimed Mrs. Lori Goff, the Cultural Foods teacher

The Cookie Palooza started first semester of 1996 and continued due to students interest Mrs Goff brought the idea with her from Bryan Center She stated that this is a long term project where all students are working towards a goal.

From researching, baking, and freezing, to marketing and selling, Cultural Foods students kept busy. Parents, staff members, and other students were the customers who bought over 200 dozen cookies, candies and breads from around the world during the two-day sale in December.

There are many benefits of taking a class like Cultural Foods Besides

having fun and meeting new people, you learn a lot about cooking Senior Laura McCray likes to cook and wanted to learn to cook different ethnic dishes "I wanted to learn more about different cultures of cooking so I could do it at home," McCray said

The students baked and sold everything from traditional holiday cookies to Mexican wedding cakes and baklava The hardest dessert McCray made was chocolate spritz because they had to use a cookie press.

'The most valuable thing I learned was how important teamwork is, especially when cooking . I got the chance to work with people I didn't know very well," said McCray.

"I have had good experiences and how to market," commented senior Maria Haralambopoulos Profits from the 1997 sale went to the Lincoln Action Program, the Good Neighbor Center, and First Plymouth Preschool

Can you imagine missing your senior prom? Twenty plus seniors did this when they competed for the chance to go to Washington D C. during the same week as prom, May 6th. Once in Washington D.C., they competed with other teams from around the nation in the National Bicentennial Competition (NBC).

Starting around second semester, students who were interested began doing in depth research of the Constitution and its meanings Much time was spent at leader Dr Ted Larson's house being drilled and practicing in preparation for the state, then national, competition What does one get out of this?

"I wanted to prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to ," said senior Meysam Kebriaei. What was different this year from other years was that the National Bicentennial Competition was held at the same time as prom. Some students were upset about this, but

changing the date was not an option as all other weekends events were scheduled and the Pia-Mor ballroom, where prom was held, has been reserved for this date

Other students were excited about this once in a lifetime opportunity and did not think that it was much of a sacrifice These students found that the enriching experience of NBC and the prospect of 'going to ~Washington , D.C. was allure enough to attract them away from the tradition of prom.

Kebriaei is not that upset about missing prom "Well , I'm not really a prom guy and, actually, I' m glad I have an excuse to miss prom. This is worth a lot more to me than one night of dressing up and trying to dance ." The Washington D C. trip made the Constitution come alive for the students The excitement of the competitors made the choice of NBC over the prom tradition an ' easy one.

"We practiced in January, February, and March for the Husker Hoops Tournament because it was in April ," Kuhl said "We wanted to be well prepared ," he added "We faced tough teams and had our ups and downs, but we ended up placing third i n the Husker Hoops Tournament, " Kuhl said "I t was kind of a shock, we were happy to be able to do so well. "

With the Husker Hoops Regional Tournament being div i ded into numerous divisions, Thies and Kuhl took third place out of the eight teams in their division , which qual ified them to go to the Cape Athletic National Finals held in

Boulder, Colorado

They packed their enthusiasm and, of course, their basketballs and journeyed the eight hours to Boulder

"I t was a great basketball atmosphere We ' d never played basketball while being surrounded by the Rockies before We had a great time ." Kuhl said

''There were a lot of talented teams in Boulder," Thies said "I realized that there is a lot of competition out there, especially from other states " Thies and Kuhl placed fourth out of about eighteen teams while at the national tournament "We lost some close ones, but still placed high, " Thies said. Because they were one of the top three teams from Nebraska, Thies and Kuhl have been invited to the tournament again this summer They are hoping to repeat the i r great experience

A"2+ B"2=C"2. How many people could solve an equation like that? Hopefully that equation should look more than familiar to the students who went to the University Nebraska-Lincoln Math Day held on the University · campus This special day for students was held on November 13. High school students from across the state attended this annual event

Senior llya Brown said, "It was a really fun experience. I recommend it for other students. You don 't have to be superb at math, just have fun."

Students attending Math Day took a one hour probe exam The students whose scores were in the top ten percent took a second test for the chance of being awarded a scholarship

Math day participants also competed in a math bowl tournament Teams were made up according to schools he team from Southeast

won the first round, but lost the second and third rounds to be eliminated. This activity was a favorite for students because of the opportunity to cheer their teammates on, As Brown put it, the big lesson of the day was "the value of teamwork "

There are hundreds of students in this state who are talented at math

This day was a good way for these students to share their talents and learn even more about math They also got a glimpse of what college courses will be like

For some, this day made them realize that math will be a likely major For others, however, this day was just a fun learning experience Students had the chance to enjoy math in a relaxed atmosphere Brown said, "Students gain incredible knowledge and skills through this activity " Whatever they gained, they sure had fun.

What better way to start off a trip than to start it bright and early at 3:00 a m?

DECA officers know how this feels since this is the way their trip to the Central Region Leadership Conference in Milwaukee began DECA, an association of marketing students, is a large group at Southeast In November, the officers had the opportunity to participate in the conference.

Who are those babies in the halls of Southeast? They're the babies of the teen mothers at Southeast

Three teen mothers agreed to share their stories Senior Jessica Hardy said the hardest thing for her is to be her own person and find baby - sitters The regrets of having a baby for Hardy at this age is not being able to live her life as a teen and having to work harder to obtain success

School has been going well for her Besides the time she had missed due to maternity leave, she hasn't missed much school The most enjoyable thing for her is knowing the baby looks up to her and needs her Hardy's commented , "Teen pregnancy is overrated It happens, people deal with it, and life goes on Actually it is not a bad thing ." The hardest thing for senior Crystal Haeslet is to make sure she stays in school. Time and money are also a big concern of hers Between doctor appointments and her baby

to Baise aChild

being sick she has missed a lot of school . The most enjoyable thing for Haeslet is to watch her baby grow up. She stated that "having a child is not so much on the down side, I really enjoy it ."

Senior Alicia Becker says it's hard for her to find time to go out with friends and have a " teen life. " School has been good for Becker She didn't miss much school due to having a baby, but she does wish she could be done with school to spend more time raising the baby. She enjoys watching the baby grow up and , of course, going shopping for her baby Becker commented, "I wouldn't change anything about my life, but some people aren't as lucky to get as much support as I got from my family."

'Teen parents and the babies need lots of support. Teen parents need to learn to be good to their young ones," commented Infant and Toddler Development teacher, Mrs Rose Kastl

Junior Achievement, or JA, is a program that Lincoln youth have been active in for many years, but this year a new Southeast chapter of Junior Achievement started The Southeast program was part of the Business Management class taught by Karen Kay Mrs Kay said that her class' company is doing exceptionally well.

'They're really enthusiastic to do the projects because they profit by them They are the company so the state of the company depends on their effort " The class sold approximately 900 treat bags at $ l and $ 50 a piece Senior Jessica Letheby is the president of the club "We 've been doing well so far We get down to business right away, unlike the other group I' m in, outside of school. We actually use the rules from the official Junior Achievement handbook," she said.

Letheby is also the President of Finance for the Junior Achievement company sponsored by National Bank of Commerce INBC) Another senior from Southeast , Doug

Neimann, is also in the NBC chapter of Junior Achievement.

big ta Searob fo Answe with College But

Hey Seniors! You 've all been through the piles of college mail which call out your name The applications and pamphlets to colleges you have never heard of are about as intriguing as those annoying infommercials on TV However, there is something appealing about those ridiculous mailings It is the hope that one of them could be the ticket out of the high schoo l which we have all grown to love Am I right? Well , this mutual feel i ng among most seniors is the infamous senioritis

As sophomores, most seniors remember the lectures on the steps to take through high school to ensure your college future · Some sophomores are even mot ivated to begin looking for colleges Senior Lindsay Ladman began her college search because of her sister "My sister had just begun college, which ignited my interest in college life, " Ladman said

· College visitations are another im-

portant part of hunting for colleges. "It is very important to visit the colleges first because you will find out if you feel comfortable on campus," senior Jill Renner said , "It gives you a chance to see if the college is right for your educational needs ."

There are a number of factors in deciding a college Thousands of seniors go through the same deadlines and decisions that everyone has to go through The good and bad experiences will in the end help you make an informed decision on this important top ic. Even those pesky mailings will help you start on the journey of choosing a college, whether you like it or not Everyone has the same goal for their own college experience Take it from senior Kyle Schumann who said, " I want a good education, a good college experience, and I want to meet good people College will help me better prepare myself for the real world.

Alow Nott, Pa Your Driver's Test

rite of passage of being a sophomore is the acquiring of one 's drivers license Although there are many , ways to pass the test , such as driving well, obeying all signals and keeping below the speed limit, there are also many ways not to pass your te$t. Here's a handy guide for future C lot users

When you get to the car "accidentally" forget to unlock the door for the tester and then pretend you don't hear

Once you finally decide to respond and let the instructor into the car, turn up the radio really loud and explain , that it helps your concentration To really impress your tester, back out of your space at no slower than 35 m p h

Once on the road , ignore all traffic signals and signs That "No turn on red " sign really is insignificant NEVER check your blind spot Who wants the predictability of changing lanes successfully?

If the officer should ever question your skills, respond only in pig latin It gives them a challenge People often question why one needs to wear shoes while driving Just don 't wear any It adds a sense of mystery to the , whole event One way to have some fun once you are out and about is to tell your officer that the reason you can't drive well is because without your glasses you are legally blind

Note: When you go into the D M.V., please don 't do any of these things It takes a competent , aware person to be able to operate such a large piece of machinery and the driver's test should be taken seriously

Walking through the halls at Southeast is kind of like driving a car. There are certain rules that one must follow in order to successfully make it through the mess of people and backpacks.

First of all, you should find an opening and merge quickly Alwoys signal well in advance before turning , keep your eyes focused on your destination at all times, and never stray from your side of the hall. Watch for sudden stops so that you never run into the back of some unassuming upperclassmen When in scary situations, remember that elbows are a great weapon against an obtrusive attacker

Some other advice to keep in mind is to wear nondescript colors so as not to draw attention to yourself and never take detours One particularly good piece of advice is to find a large football player and walk in the clearing behind him with the hope he is going in the same direction as you Most importantly, be wary of places like jock hall where large numbers of upperclassmen conglomerate Follow these simple rules, and you are guaranteed to have safe journeys through the tumultuous halls of our great school.

In Geometry, it's easy to get caught up in a wl:1irl of trapezoids, circles, and angle bisectors The following are some tips on making your journey through the Wonderful World of Geometry a little easier

Arrive in class armed with your compass , protractor, and ruler Open your trusty textbook to the chapter about congruence . When the teacher asks for a definition of AAA and the student next to you replies that , "it's that car company that comes to your rescue if your car stalls," proudly raise your hand and announce that it stands for "Angle, Angle , Angle ."

When the teacher tells the class that there will be a pop quiz on the Pythagorean Theorem , you ' ll be sure to ace it because you did all your homework on that A2+B 2=C2 stuff If the other students in the class start complaining that they will never need Geometry in the real world , calmly explain to them that even the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz uses it after he gets his brain "In an isosceles triangle the sum of the square roots of the two equal sides is equal to the square root of the third side ," he said So the next time you sit down to do your geometry homework, think back to these little tips and you'll be just fine

0ne skill that can be a lifesaver at LSE is the ab ility to con your teachers. Here are a few tested methods that are guaranteed to get you through even the stickiest situations First, refer to "How to be a Teach ers Pet, " on page l Ol . Next, bring teachers gifts. Make sure they are not so fancy that your intentions will be blatantly obvious On the other hand , do not choose gifts so shabby that they will seem petty.

Try to convince the teachers that not doing things you want to do would be against your religion In a tight situation, flattery works wonders Simple little phrases like "Have you lost weight?" or the ever popular "I just LOVE your hair," are sure get you on the good side of your teachers.

Yet another good tactic is to denounce your own intellect in light of theirs. (If you can 't understand the prior sentence, it probably won't work for you.) And remember, above all else, if these tactics fail to get you what you want , don 't be afraid to grovel; it rarely fa ils

low to Get a Bat,

Agoal for many young sophomores is to find a su itable date for the most "important" dance of the year You strut your stuff across the homecoming dance floor looking for your prey From homecoming to the fateful last month before prom is the target time to search for those lucky juniors and seniors

The planning of this memorable night should even begin 1n the summer when signing up for classes Take those upperclassmen courses in which juniors and seniors dominate the attendance Struggle through Diff Calculus and convince some cutie in your class to help you

For you gals out there looking for true love, here are some simple steps to snag that guy l Find out your crush 's place of employment and drive by it, often , until he gets off work. Casually walk up to him in the parking lot and ask, "Are you closed? Ah, darn, I wanted to buy some gum " 2. When he 's around , bat your eyelashes excessively and play with your hair 3 Send yourself flowers in class and ask him what he thinks of them 4 Come to class a week later crying and explain the details of your nonexistent break- up

For you guys out there looking for a great date : l Flex your muscles in Toning for Fitness class. Show off your dance moves while everyone else does step aerobics 2 Impress her by shopp ing at Structure and sportin ' the sweater vests while serenading her at a sporting event 3 Buy your totally cool car !even if it is a rust bucket) a bra you know, the thing that goes on the front of your car

Fortunately, by the end of the year these helpful hints will have an impact on a memorable night Even if your prey didn 't respond like he or she was supposed to, you can look back in a few years and say, "WOW! Those were the fun times! " Hopefully your target won 't remember

The main key to your success at Southeast lies within your wardrobe . When you wake up the first thing you should consider is not "how am I goif!g to get to school?" but instead "what do I wear? " When walking down the halls of Southeast you want to be remembered for your keen sense of style There are several styles to consider when dressing First there is the heavy metal look Black Need I say more? Next there is ultra ; super prep Khakis , khakis, khakis , plus the occasional turtleneck to complete the outfit There is also the jock look Your favorite football, basketball , hockey, soccer, or fencing shirts will do. Nylon shorts or pants make for a comfortable year round look For the more adventurous types there is always the exotic look Think the chiquita banana lady Hawaiian shirts, le is, pineapples, and coconuts , are all acceptable Then there is the techno rave style If you are considering this look you must march down to Russ's because you need bubble wrap baby. Yes , bubble wrap You also might want to invest in a feather boa, and platform shoes. These are not sold at Russ 's, so don't ask The employees are easily annoyed If you start saying, " Don 't hate me because I'm a club kid! " you have made it! When you consider these styles make sure you consider yourself first Which look is right for you? Maybe none, but no matter which look you choose you will be sure to shine all the way to success

low bl lug with aSenior

The fear of a new school , hard teachers and extensive amounts of home work are all a part of a sophomore's life at LSE However, making fr iends with a senior could help you fee l more at home Here are some tips to help to help get acquainted

First you could follow their simplest command such as "get out of my way." Or you could try standing at their locker between every period until they notice you A way for them to notice'you at their locker is to wear loud and obnoxious clothes (for examples, refer to "How To Dress for Success " on page 97.) Make sure you find out if they have a younger sibling and get to know that sibling as "close personal friends."

When you ' re walk ing around the school , make sure you act like you know where you ' re going! Even though , you may have to put your head down to sneak out of the school for lunch , be seen at Arby 's often If you decide to make an apperance to a dance make sure you have a date You don 't want to be seen sitt ing on the bleachers as a wall flower Most important of all, just have a fun time and make lots of new friends Then, the seniors will be looking for ways to hang with you!

low t, he aTeaober's Pet

If your great ambition in life is to be the perfect, ideal student in the eyes of your teacher (a .k .a. a teacher's pet) follow these simple instructions

To start off your good impression, show up for class AT LEAST four minutes before the bell rings Next, turn in any assignments, due that day or not, required or optional, as soon as possible. Always address your teacher by. their full title "Mrs Herbin, for problem number three I got 48 apples " "Yes, Mr Pierce, the capitol of Sri Lanka is Colombo. " "I knew you would enjoy the fruit basket, Mr Dougherty."

Remember to sit as close to the front of the room as possible - -make sure you 're breathing in chalk dust

ALWAYS laugh enthusiastically at any joke the teacher tells or attempts to tell , no matter how stupid it is . Try to be the first to volunteer to do things for the teacher, even if you have no idea what you ' re volunteering for When you ' re the first one done with a test, run up to the teacher, hand them the test , tell them how much you enjoyed taking it, and ask if they 're proud of you for being the first one finished

And last, but not least, be the last to leave class Be sure to talk with the teacher while everyone else is leaving. But hurry up! You have to get to your next class four minutes early!

Follow these instructions, and you ' ll have clinched the title of Teacher's Pet.

Coming into Southeast as a sophomore you encountered many new and different things Finals week wa~ one of them In case you didn 't do too well first semester, these tips will help you succeed this spring.

Always be sure to study where there is a lot of commot ion Concentration is not important Make sure that you have the necessary junk food Your brain will not function properly without it Never study at a library, it could cramp your style

Always study with close friends , different views produce better grades Be sure to take a thirty minute gossip break after every fifteen minutes of studying you wouldn't want to overdo it Don 't bother taking your books , home with you , you might pull a muscle carrying them

Remember the purpose of the scan-tron test is for you to show your creative side Your grade will be decided on the amount of bubbles you use to make a picture Always start studying fifteen minutes before your final , you want the information to be fresh in your mind Good luck and happy studying!

First , you should deck out your car There are many options here : paint it black and gold, add LSE stickers, or get a personalized "Knights " license plate Then , join Spirit Club and dedicate all of your time and money to making hall signs Glitter is expensive and t ime-consuming If you feel like going to sporting events ( as every good Knight should), wear a full suit of armor, you wouldn 't want anyone to mistake you for a regular fan would you?

Next, purposely avoid graduation requirements in order to hang around Southeast for a year or two longer If you play your cards r ight (or wrong depending on how you look at it) you could stay for up to five extra years

Moving out of state? Apply for a transfer ; you can 't go to any other school in the world Become the Cheerleaders/Shirettes groupie complete with black and gold attire and mini-porns After you graduate, get married and have children, name your firstborn Wally, even if it is a girl. If you follow these directions exactly, there should not be anyone else in the running for the spirit award

VI SPRINGER FOR FORSTA

PLATS! In other words , "We run for first place! " Cheering in Swedish is just one way the Girl's Cross Country team shows team support Teammate Chaflotte Karlstrand is from Sweden and has taught her teammates to cheer in Swedish.

In addition , learning sign language has been a learning experience for many team members . Sophomore Steph Shubert taught the team signs for cheering on the team.

"It's neat to learn different things

• from the many different people on the team ," senior Lindsey Ellis said Ellis said the season went really well Although she felt her times were not the best, she was able to help the team out by being the captain

Both the Boys and Girls teams finished first at State This was the 9th stra ight state champs for the girls, and the boys had four runners in the top 15 'The fans were a great support It was good to see so

many people from Southeast ." Ellis said .

Senior Clint Eckstein said the best thing about the season was seeing the guys win state . "It was nice to see teammates get what they deserved, " Eckstein said

A normal practice began with Coach Larson giving a pep talk to the teams Then came stretching, followed by running four to six miles on an easy day. On Saturdays, the teams did distance runs of eight to l Omiles.They alternated hard and easy days, and the day before meets was always a rest day

One of the many traditions the Cross Country team has is the spaghetti feeds they have the night before meets Before the State Meet, the Varsity players eat at Coach Ted Larson 's house. The girls team also has a tradition of chanting , "I can, I will " when they pass the fans on their home course at Pioneers Park * Erin Dawes

Undisputed number one The Varsity football team closed the season with an undefeated record and a state championship. For the coaches, it was a season to be proud of. For the players, it was the perfect ending to the perfect season that they had worked hard for "Winning state was the best thing that happened to me all year," said senior Jim Rosenberger, "I was on a natural high for about two weeks afterward "

The championship was the highlight for most of the players, but for senior Dan Walker the championship was made all the more better because the championship game was on his birthday "It was definitely a good birthday present," he said. Through the excitement of the prospect of taking state on hi~ birthday, Walker remained undaunted , "I just focused on the game and didn't think about my birthday, " he commented

Both Rosenberger and Walker believe that it was all of the long hours and extra work that the whole team put in The team practiced twice daily during the summer for two or two and a half hours After school started, they spent up to three and a half hours practicing every day.

"I think that the reason that we did so well is because we all went and lifted [weights] every day," commented Walker. "We did this on our own time , seperately from regular practice, " he added. Rosenberger agrees, "We knew what we had to do and we worked hard to do it. "

One of the most memorable moments for Walker was the game in Norfolk, "We had to shower with hundreds of cockroaches, it was really bad. " Not all of the memories were bad ones, however. The state championship was the highlight of the year for many of the players According to Rosenberger, "I can 't even be g in to describe it, you'd just have to do it ."

GymnastiEs Flips Over

Gymnastics is not as easy as the Southeast gymnasts make it look They perform ~heir routines flawlessly, smiling the whole way through The reason for this is the time they spend perfecting the routines. A lot of the gymnasts have two practices a day, one at a private gymnastics school in addition to the one at school

The most memorable event of the season for many gymnasts was the LPS invite, which was hosted by Southeast It was the first city invite that Southeast had ever hosted Both the girls' and boys ' teams won, with the girls having the highest team score ever recorded in Southeast gymnastic history

Neither team had reason to complain with their performances at the State Meet. The girls' team placed second in State on October 31-November l, making this the fourth year in a row the girls team won this title Senior Emily Rock finished third in all around The boys

finished fourth place at State on October 24, with Southeast gymnast junior Dave Hansen placing fourth in all around

The girls team had a really good attitude at the State meet, even going so far as to ge t complimented by other teams for their cheering Both Rock and Hansen agreed that the team finish at State could not have been better "We constantly improved throughout the season Not much could have been better, " Hansen said The biggest competition this year came from Millard North and Lincoln East

According to Rock and Hansen a really good gymnast is easy to spot because they have clean form and flawless consistency "Attitude is everything," Rock said . Hansen commented , "To be a good gymnast, you must have a good attitude, and have the ability to remain calm under pressure The more consistent you are, the better of a gymnast you are " The coaches this year were

Watermier, Nakia Holtz, and Ron Paulsen

Dave Hansen has been practicing gymnastics since 6th grade when his mom sent him to gymnastics school because he was jumping on the furniture He tries to keeps himself motivated, but it isn't always easy "I look at my progress with gymnastics I think about how much time I've spent doing it and I realize that I can 't quit when I've come this far," said junior Dave Hansen

The marching band wouldn't be the same without the flagline at their side. The LSE flagline is made up of hard working girls determined to add flair to the half-time show.

Flagline members commit many hours to practice. They spent their summer vacation marching, and attending flagline camp at UNL. By participating in this camp they also got the chance to perform at Memoria I Stadium in an exhibition performance This was an excel-

lent preparation for their shows during State football. They also dedicated the three weeks before school started to marching, learning routines, and getting to know each other.

Throughout their season, the girls have plenty of time to bond, After all they spend two class periods a day and weekends together They also have a tradition called secret sisters "During the season we made locker signs for our 'sisters' and gave them small gifts," said

junior Telicia Tanner.

A lot is required of the girls ; members must attend all practices and performances They are also responsible for memorizing routines, caring for all equipment that is loaned to them, attending summer music camps, always being in proper uniform, and representing Southeast . "Most importantly, we take pride in our band and our squad!" said Brandy Witte *

The 1997 - 1998 Shirettes had a wonderful opportunity to go to Nationals in Orlando, Florida. After a lot of fund raising, practice and preparation, the Shirettes were ready to go Going into Nationals the team didn't really know what to expect " We were up against some amazing teams who had been working on their dance for months, while we learned ours three weeks before Nationals, " said senior Lindsey Wright. Even though the Shirettes had less practice than everyone else , they still dominated and showed the judges how good they really are "It was weird competing against other squads that we had watched all year, and then finding out we were as good as a lot of them, " said junior Lindsey Taylor "We surpassed what we even dared to dream of!" added senior co-captain Kate Wilson.

The Shirettes ranked eleventh

place at Nationals This is a huge accomplishment. No other Lincoln team has ever made finals at Nationals. " I remember the feeling when we found out that we made finals I couldn 't believe it, we all flew up in the air and started bawling We all got in a big huddle and didn't let go. It was one of the best feelings to know that we made Lincoln history," stated Taylor

The Shirettes are not only a great dance team, they are also really close friends ''I' ll always remember · how proud I was of everyone and how close it brought us together, not only as a team but as friends, " added Wilson

While the Shirettes were in Florida they go.t to enjoy Disney World, MGM Studios, Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center.

The trip to Nationals in Orlando Floria was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for everyone; they will all be sure to remember it forever

Itwas Friday night, the stress of the week was over. No school for two days and the scoreboard clearly stated what the fans already knew, the Knights were ahead once again Coach Mizerski called for a timeout and two girls ran out onto the field carrying water to all of the players. All of the fans thought to themselves "here come the water girls again ."

Little did these fans know that

bringing water to the field was just one of the many tasks these water girls performed . "Before the games and practices we had to tape the players' sleeves, fix their helmets, help Julie stretch the players and help with the taping of ankles and other joints, " said senior Macaela Stephenson

The job of a student trainer is a very time consuming activity The trainers had to do many more jobs than people realize. "After school

-N-I-G-H-T-S say Southeast KNIGHTS!! Throughout the years, cheerleaders have traditionally been a part of every football game, every pep rally, and every high school event The Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Reserve cheerleaders have continued to be a vital reason for the enormous school spirit at Southeast

The LSE Cheerleaders meet during 2nd period every day to rnake locker signs, hold discussions, practice for pep rallies, and learn new cheers for sports They also practice early every morning during the summer months "We begin preparing for pep rally cheers two or three weeks ahead of time ," said JV cheerleader Lindsey Freed.

"Cheerleading is a lot more work than it appears to be on the surface, " said Varsity cheerleader Megan Linder. From the sidelines, cheerleading may look like a simple sport, but in actuality, it takes lots of hard work, stamina, and energy

During the past summer, the three LSE cheerleading squads have par-

ticipated in a number of competitions and cheerleading camps in Nebraska. The Varsity squad took a four day trip to Lake Okoboji in Iowa, and took part in the National Cheerleading Association 'The NCA was hard work but a lot of fun, " said Varsity cheerleader Leah Lund

The JV squad took part in the Universal Cheerleading Association, held at Creighton University in Omaha The camp included three days oF practice and a final dance competition. "UCA was a good experience, and in the dance competition we placed 1st, " said JV squad member Tammy Nguyen The Reserve squad took part in UCA as well, although on the UN-L campus.

This year LSE 's cheerleading squads have shown their tremendous school spirit at each of the games and athletic ever)ts They have shown the talent and skill that they have, and have enjoyed all that they have done "Cheerleading itself is a lot of fun, the squad nights are fun, and it's a real bonding experience," added Lund

Loos woke up at six in the morning and ate a breakfast of cereai and fruit "For lunch I usually ate pizza or bagels and at night I ate a well balanced meal, " Loos said He got through the school day by anticipating the time when he could workout and improve his athletic skills.

At 3 :30, the wrestling team would begin warm-ups which included situps, push-ups, jogging in a circle for ten minutes, and stretching

Throughout the practice, the team practiced techniques with drills called grinders. They had a group of four and two began on the mats

"There were two in at a time, where one person wrestled for six minutes while the three moved in

and out, " Loos explained. Other types of workouts included running, jump-roping and swimming.

The 1998 season was a very successful year for the team. "We had more guys at state this year than the last couple of years , it was an accomplishment for the whol e team," senior Dillon Brady said Besides the State competition, the team did very well at all tournaments 'The team had at least two medals, " Brady said

The team appreciated all the support that was extended during the season "We had more fans go to meets this year than ever before," Loos commented. "That support gave me confidence as I heard my name being called out ."

With a perfect record, city championship, and a # 1 state title, the varsity tennis team couldn't have done much better this year According to senior Chris Wherry, this years tennis team is the beginning of a dynasty "Southeast is going to have the best players for years to come," said Wherry, one of the team's number one doubles players

"The whole tennis program at Southeast is really strong, " said Coach Tim Tidball ''There 's just so much talent ." According to Tidball, the depth of this year's team is one of their greatest strengths They are good from top to bottom. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this Not everyone can make the team, and as a result, a lot of good players end up not getting to play.

''The team gets along well. Tennis is an individual sport, but unity is really important, " said Tidball. There was a good atmosphere at practices which helped the players focus on doing their best

At state, the team blew everybody else out of the water "We pretty much had it in the bag before the second day, " said Tidball. They had several close matches, but in the end their closest opponent was 17 points away

JV and Reserve also had undefeated seasons. Both teams were city champions "The team has so much talent. Their toughest competition was playing each other in challenge matches, " said first-time coach, Sue Petersen

For years the tennis team has held up the tradition of throwing a tennis ball in the Platte River after everybody touches it. The team would be afraid to see what happens if they didn't Has this tradition brought them luck? Looking back on this year's season , the answer is definitely yes!

Goals Pave the lay Ior Vanity folleyhall

Everyone has goals . Sometimes they are team goals, sometimes individual goals. People want to be the biggest, best, strongest, or smartest But what about learning from mistakes as a goal?

The Varsity Volleyball team this year used just that as a goal. Sophomore Erin Dukich said of the teams attitude, "We try to win, but if we don't it's more important to improve and learn from our mistakes ."

Each person had their own individual goals in addition to shared team goals. Before every game the team gathered and each person said a goal they had. Doing this, senior co-captain Sarah Claus said, "helped get everyone relaxed and ready to play."

The team also said a special cheer, dubbed the froggy cheer by junior Jamie Marxsen . "We said 'RSKA- Mighty Knights all the Way,' and then everyone made a ribbit sound, " Marxsen said.

Senior Kristin Morphew noted that "team nights helped to build a close team ." The team gathered at one person's house on team nights and usually talked and got to know one another. One memorable team night was on Halloween, when members of the team gathered at senior Megan Euler's house and went on a scavenger hunt

As the season wore on, the team grew closer and began to work harder Claus said the highlight of the year for her was the week before districts "There was a different attitude towards practice It was exciting to see everyone work as hard as they did."

Sophomore Amanda Pracheil noted that important aspects of the team were the "team unity and the chance to do well in post-season. " The season ended November 7 in Districts The tean was rated number ten in the state at the close of the season

" I get excited to go in to a game. The feeling of an ace serve, especially a kill, is awesome. When it happens, I know that all of the practice has paidoff," said Erin Dukich.

JUNIOR VARSITY AND RESERVE VOLLEYBALL

What does it take to be a successful athlete? It takes a lot more than hard work and determination. The only people that can fully comprehend this are true athletes such as junior JV player, Katie Starkweather and sophomore Reserve player, Jenny Miller

After not playing high school athletics her freshman or sophomore year Starkweather made the JV volleyball team Throughout numerous injuries she managed to hold on to her dream

"My dream has always been to play collegiate volleyball. I've always had people telling me I' m not good enough and I should quit because of my injuries But with the support of Nancy Colson (private coach from East) and my family I think I will be able to achieve my dream ."

Starkweather's injuries included rolling both ankles, and she has been going to a physical therapist three to four times a week on and off for two years Due to her inju-

ries she was unable to play in many games this season but she hasn 't let this shatter her spirit

Miller said one success this season was they "came together as a team ." One of the reserve team 's goals was to be undefeated This dream became reality Anoth er purpose of the team was to provide moral support and to help pull through when the scoreboard did not favor the team

Reserve coach, Jen Rigby, encouraged the team to "stop looking at yourself as an individual and start looking at yourself as a part of a team ." Both teams spent time outside of school together to break down the barriers of communication. They needed to not only be a member of the team but to feel the importance of comraderie. The hours spent together paid off in the end. JV and Reserve both won the LPS tournaments for the ' 97 season. They owe their success to coaches Betty Nienkamp(JV) and Jenn

The famous NBA quote "I love this game" can now be heard coming out of the gym of the Varsity basketball team "I just love the overall competitiveness and playing together as a team to win games ," said junior Ty Gifford

The team came together for a victory against previously undefeated Northeast this season " After winning that game our confidence level for the program had a giant boost ," said junior center Chris Wittgren

The team also experienced another coach ing change this season . Jeff Smith , a former Southeast basketball player himself, returned to take over as coach. "I wasn't too happy about having two new coaches in two years , but coach Smith has come in and done a great job ," senior Jeff Sorenson said

"He is a great coach, but more than that he is a great person and that is what I like, " added Wittgren.

Although the move was a change professionally for Smith , personal reasons were factors in the decision "I came back because I know how great a school Southeast is and, to me, it's home," sa id Smith

The Knights made an appearan ce at state this season After conv incingly defeating the Benson Bunnies in the first round of the tournament the Knights fell to the Norheast Rockets in the semi-finals " State was a great experience even if we didn 't finish out the season how we would have liked to " said senior Matt Plucker

With a near perfect record, the JV boys basketball team finished out the season on top.

The team, made up of 12 up-andcoming stars under the coaching of Tony Quattrocchi, had no trouble getting pumped up for games, especially when playing other Lincoln high schools. Pius and Lincoln High proved the biggest rivalry. "Our coach did a great job of getting us pumped up," said junior forward Blake Anderson.

The team's one and only loss came from Northeast when they lost by only one point The Northeast team shot 7 5 percent from the three point line. It was a tough loss, but the team didn't let it get them down.

According to junior guards Jim Connell and Jess Arter, their biggest victory was against Grand Island. "It was a big team effort," said Connell. "Everybody played really well." They upset the Islanders with a 30 point victory.

At the LPS JV tournament, the team got off to a good start with a victory against East in their first game.

According to Connell, the Knights shot exceptionally well. They were disappointed in their final game against Lincoln High where they suffered a close loss in overtime

The final score was 50-52.

The reserve team also ended their season with a winning record. They got their season rolling with wins in the first ,four games. They played really well as a team. Sophomores Trevor Baer and Ryan Schmuecker both agree that everyone played equally well, especially in their game against Waverly when they won by two points in double overtime Their biggest vtdory was winning over Fremont by 28 points Although they lost in the city tournament, they finished out the season with a record of 8-5.

The Tnition Uontinues

Imagine the pressure of being the defending state champions You're the team everybody else wants to beat, your every move is watched closely Now add to that being the state champion eleven out of the past twelve years That's pressure many teams would buckle under. But, then again, the Knights are not like every team. They faced this pressure and not only survived, they thrived The girls varsity basketball team lived up to tradition this year, proving themselves to be an excellent team They finished with a 15 - 3 record Despite this success during the season, certain moments stand out as being especially special. Senior Camille DeBose said, "A highlight of our season was our convincing beating of Columbus, who was ranked third and had a great player on their team "

The team faced problems early on when senior Genny Sonday got injured and was unable to play for much of the season. Sonday had

been a key player since her freshman year and it was quite a blow when she got injured.

Despite the problems, however, the team jelled and became one of the best in the state "We accomplished the ability to get together a s a team and play to the best of our ability,"

DeBose

said

The team 's season continued into post-season when the team made it to the State Competition At state, the team represented Southeast well by making it to the final game, which they barely lost to Omaha · North. Sophomore Angie Wilson said, "Our year was very successful even though we lost the championship game We learned to play as a team and had a lot of fun."

Girls Basketball proved that Southeast has the power and strength to be the best in the state And , just like other aspect in the school, one can only wonder at what will happen in future years with this successful program .

"This being my senior year, when I got injured I knew I had to be strong for the sake of my team Although I couldn 't be physically on the court with my teammates, I was there emotionally and mentally," senior Genny Sonday said.

Could deep thoughts be the key to success? For the Jun ior Va r sity Girl 's team, it seemed to be With a 13-3 record , the team had many reasons to believe meditation was the answer to w inning

Before each game the team did a visualization exercise with coach Tim Golden Sophomore Amy Campbell said that Golden, " was a really good coach and very encouraging He knows so much about basketball since he's been coaching so long ."

Junior Alisha Borchers said that goals were another important' part of the team ." It didn 't matter if we lost, but we always played to win ," said Borchers Other goals included getting along on and off the court , having a love for the game , and encourag i ng each other

Skill was truly the defining part of the team "There were no weak links, " said Campbell. " We all played hard ." This mentality led the JV girls team to much success

Teamwork, the desire to win , and aggressiveness contributed to the Girl 's Reserve basketball team 's success.They finished the season with a record of 9-6.

The team set high goals for themselves to accomplish througho ut the season , like winning city. They also wanted to end t he season with a good record

The players had many strategies for before games. " We learned other teams ' plays and how to get around them We got pumped up in the locker room ," sophomore Jacqueline Slaymaker said

The players spent time together both on and off the court during the basketball season " We had a team n ight where we spent the night at someone 's house ;" sophomore Jenny Miller explained

The attitudes of the players was the key to their accomplishment Combining their positive attitudes and skills with the help of coach Chris Johnson led the girls to their victorius season

Guts, glory, speed and form are what describe Southeast boy's swimming and diving Coach Bill Flory along with captains Kyle Tingle and Chris Mccown, both seniors, led four boys, Doug Martindale, Jeff Rawson, J. R Schepers , and Tingle to the state competition Martindale dove, Rawson swam the 50 free, l 00 free and at State he swam the 200 free rely Schepers swam the 50 free and 100 breast. He swam the 50 free at state. Tingle swam the 200 free at state

The boys had a good season and many accomplished their goals "My goal was to lead the guy's team, help everyone achieve their goals and to have fun. I accomplished them all. " said Mccown

One of the team 's goals was to have fun, which they certainly accomplished Traditions are one thing that keep the boys entertained during the season. The boys swimmers and divers have a lot of fun events happen, such as the annual guys versus girls swimming event. During this event, the teams attack each other with mustard and ketchup the weekend before state They also T.P each others' houses and cars, which is also known as ·car Wars ." Another tradition they have is that they have a big dinner together the weekend before state Swimming and diving also pass down a green poncho and a special" kick board from year to year The green poncho, which started

off as a large towel, was originally passed down by state record holder Eric Wright (LSE ' 90) and the tradition of excellence continues The poncho has been passed down captain to captain since 1987 Another tradition is that the entire team bleaches their hair blonde for the conference meet, which you might have noticed during the year Then t hey shave off all their hair for state

The swimmers and divers practiced long hours every day. Almost every morning while you were still in bed, the guys were at Southeast practicing They arrived around 5 : 30 a m and practiced until school began The swimmers and divers never saw the light of day Every day they came to school in the dark, then went to school, and after school they practiced until six or six thirty, when the sun began to set

Lucky for them, the pool 's water heater broke down several times throughout the season which made the water a little colder than usual. It takes twenty four hours for a pool to heat up one degree Imagine that cold water every morning! But the guys toughed it out and hardly ever complained (yeah right!)

Guys swimming and diving work really hard every year They put in a lot of hours of practice and time out of their weekends But every year they also end up having a lot of fun throughout the season *

ltiq Use Depth To Their !dvutqe

Giris swimming and diving lived up to their potential this season, keeping an undefeated record and sending fifteen members to the state meet Doing this well required many hours of practice and perseverance throughout the season

Senior swimmer Jamie Parman had an explanation for the success of the team, "we have a lot of depth " Senior diver Katie Wolfe agrees, "there are so many different kinds of people, and we all have something in common, a common goal,'' she said, "we work really hard to accomplish this goal."

The girls proved their loyalty to the team by sacrificing several hours each night to practice "We practiced almost every day during

Christmas break," Wolfe said. "We had to do one hundred one hundred meters for our New Yea r's practice," said Parman The water was not exactly pleasant during those practices, so the swimmers and divers had to exercise their dedication even more. "It was so cold," Parmen commented, "the filter was broken, so they had to completely empty the water and refill the pool "

The team faced tough competition in the state meet. "It was tough to go against Marion," said Parman However, the team.remained optimistic, "We had a really good team," said Wolfe, "I think that since we all work as hard as we did, we did well "

As the year draws to a close, we look back and remember the world and nation a news-making events that helped form our year. Such events a : Tom Osborne retiring were unexpected and left many Nebraskans saddene d but with great memories of his 25-year victorious reign over Nebraska football. The 4 L 17 Orange Bowl triumph over Tennessee brought with it the third national champio r ship in the past four years.

Other memorable events included the winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan. Th ~ United States brought home 13 gold medals including the first-ever women's hockE win and a gold and silver in women's figure-skating by Tara Lapinsky and Michelle Kw rn 1

Locally, our community was devastated by the October snowstorm which destroye : many trees and caused Lincoln to shut down. President Clinton declared the storm : national disaster and called in the National Guard to come and help clean up. In our state, a property tax cut was approved which will lower Nebraska property taxe ; The downside is it will cut education expenditures, such as teachers' salaries. Sever :1 Southeast teachers took advantage of early retirement incentives and made this th e i 1 last year at Southeast. They are: Louise Alfrey, English; Gail Baum, Driver Educati rn 1 Chuck Evans and Mickey Johnson, Counselors; Mara Murphy, English; Mary Oestman i 1 Vocal Music; and Denny Puelz, Physical Education.

Some world events, such as the deaths of Mother Teresa and Princess Diana, the si h • ations in Israel and Iraq, and the sending of the Pathfinder seemed far away and un n :· lated to Lincoln, Nebraska. However, students spent time learning about these curre 1r events to realize the impact and importance of the issues and the effects they had c r our generation and will have on those to come.

"Contemporary Literature gives me the ability to openly express my creativity, " said senior Dillon Brady, whose projects ranged from building shelves for more books to making movies about reading Contemp Lit consists of reading 12 books, discussing them , and doing 20 projects in a semester Brady likes Contemp Lit because of the freedom that is allowed

"One of the best things about Contemp Lit is that you get to make your own choices ," he said The discussions are a favorite part of the class

for both teacher and students "I love when you are in discussion and someone says something, and you never thought that person would say something like that, " said VanDervoort

"Discussions are a real learning experience between peers The teacher steps aside and becomes one of your peers, that way it's not like someone prying the knowledge out of you, you can discuss freely," said Brady

''That way both the teachers and the students are discovering at the same time, " added Van Dervoort.

Southeast students have many choices when it comes to deciding which English class to take Classes include English and American Lit/Comp, Composition, Grammar /Vocab, Science Fiction, Contemporary, World , Women 's and General Literature, Creative Writing, and AP classes * Liz Murphy

From Foundations of Mathematics to Differentiated Calculus students at Southeast have a large variety of math courses to choose from While most take Algebra and Calculus courses , some decide to take such courses as Advanced Math (FST) and Discrete Math , which tend to be underrated courses

" Discrete Math is a great course w ith very interesting topics from Estate Division to voting procedures Students may be surpr ised to see where mathematics shows up! " Mrs Wendy Herb in, Advanced Algebra and Advanced Math teacher, said Math may not seem like a concern to many, but it is a subject that will be utilized in the future 'The ability to truly qualify everyday in mathematical systems is highly prized in the business world A person who is unable to recognize data patterns and the underly ing mathematics is probably limited in the i r advancemen possib ilit ies," Advanced Algebra and Calculus teacher, Mr Dan Hohensee said "Even if a student does not plan on using

mathematics , the logic and problem solv ing skills used in mathematics problems are invaluable in life I have vis ited previous students who say that they' re surprised that they need math in the ir job, " Herbin sa id

The Southeast Math Department offers math courses such as Geometry, Foundation Math , Applied Math, Transit i on Math , Beginning Algebra , Advanced Algebra , Diff Advanced Algebra, Pre Calculus , Di ff Pre Calculus , Calculus , BASIC, PASCAL , Advanced Math , Funct ional Math, and Statistics

In addition to the courses offered, the math department offers help to students in the math resource room on Mondays through Thursdays 8th and 9th period "Math teachers take turns staffing the resource room so that students can get help on math even if their own teacher is in a meeting or absent, " Herbin said.

Many opportunities are given to students by the math department The students that benefit from these opportunities are the ones who take advantage of them

Students in Mrs. Herbin's first semester Advanced Math classes participate in an experiment to find out the pattern a ball creates as it rebounds off the ground afrer dropped from a certain height. Using CBR units and either a Tl-83 or Tl-82 Graphing Calculator, students explored the rebound height of a ball and developed a function that modeled the rebound height for a particular bounce. The model the groups developed allowed them to predict the height of the ball for any bounce. ·

This experiment, along with others, are examples of activities the Math Department does to escape from the book teaching to provide a more hands-on approach to math and to show how math relates to real life. Activities and assignments range from determining the area a wiper blade covers on a windshield when turned on to graphing the commonality of cars in a parking lot, or student's favorite drink and more.

Let's work together students work together in a group to help each other out and to get a better understanding of the lesson.

Normally, when one thinks of scientific experiments, mixing explosive chemicals comes to mind This is not the case for the classes of Jim Bertrand and Kent Crippen.

This year, Mr Bertrand took his Biology class on a few interesting field trips Tanglewood Lake was the site of one of these trips. Within an hour, the class of 21 students caught five different species of fish

While Bertrand 's class was fishing, Crippen 's Chemistry classes spent their time sorting through hunderds of pennies He has come up with about 1200 experiments that deal with pennies 'Teaching allows me to help and come up with new creative ways to learn, " said Crippen Crippen certainly has found interesting ways to make chemistry fun . "Just when we thought

there could not possibly be any more experiments that dealt with pennies, we'd get a new penny packet," said junior Amy Hotchkiss

Both of these teachers share a common passion for science. Crippen said, "It gives us a better understanding of the world around us " Paper, plastic, money, buildings and the air we all breathe revolves around science. "Its a part of all of our pasts, " commented Bertrand

The day before winter break, Dick Caster's class also took part in an interesting experiment "A really fun thing that we did in Mr Caster's class was blowing glass," said junior Katie Laws

The Southeast Science Department has set very high standards for the students and, because of the excited and able staff, are able to reach these goals

Fiscal Fitness Seminar Quotes:

Social Stuies is Tnly Social for hn-Loviq Tmoben

It may be hard to picture, but your teachers have a social life outside of school. Some of the male history teachers are friends beyond the doors of Southeast Chad Blatchford, David Leader, Tom Johnson, and Dave Nebel do a little male bonding on the weekends

What do they do? All four of them are sports enthusiasts. They go to one of their houses to watch a game and enjoy each others' company They also go to Stars games Another plus is that Johnson's and Leader's wives are friends, so they've got the "wives club" part of it too. Johnson and Leader took a road trip together to see the Nebraska vs Colorado game This friendship seems to make their jobs more enjoyable, which is obvious to their students.

These four guys always have a good time no matter what happens One night while driving

back from a Royals game, Leader's car died and they had to walk a couple miles back into Lincoln at one o'clock in the morning.

The four of them participate in a golf league together and a lot of funny stories come from the golf league One time Leader got mad during a game and broke his putter. When the league ended, Nebel ended up being named as the worst male player in the league.

They also have a sense of humor about their friendship. "We usually play a small trick on each other when one of us is gone We call them and say, 'Hey your sub didn't show up!' It's nice having your friends work with you; it makes your job a lot more fun," said Blatchford. The history teachers have fun no matter what they do or where they are.

The 1997-98 school year marks a first for Lincoln students Students now have the op portunity to go to the Lincoln Public Schools Science Focus Program, also known as Zoo School. The program is located at the Folsom 's Children 's Zoo and the classrooms are located on the zoo grounds Each participant takes classes for part of the day at the zoo and for part of the day at their "home school. " The reason for this separation is that there are some classes, such as fore ign language, that are not offered at the zoo

The main focus of the program is hands on activity Students participate in activities such as field trips and experiments even in classes where these do not normally occur For instance, Southeast senior Benj Clarke's American Literature class took a field trip to Nine Mile Prairie

Students are also encouraged to teach themselves They are expected to keep portfolios on their work and they hold their own conferences w ith their parents The classes have very small numbers, some with only three or four students The small numbers allow for teachers to provide individual help

Since the program is located at the zoo , the students have the opportunity to work with the animals "We work with the 'critter encounter area ' animals," said senior Jame Strand "If you're in zoology, you get to research and take care of the animals ."

Overall the program has a very relaxed, selfdirected atmosphere As Clarke said , "It's not for everyone " If it is for you, it could be a good opportun ity to take your interests to another level.

"Every other day is a math and science day and the other days are for the humanities, but that's only if you are an 'A' person. If you 're a 'B' person, everything is the other way around. Then one day a week is a floater day, but you never know when that will be," said Zoo School senior Patty S teinauer. Does this so und co nfu sing to yo u ? "Yo u get used to it," Steinauer said. "The way that it works is that each student is assigned to 'A' group or 'B' group."

The groups alternate between humanities and sciences for four days a week The fifth day is a "floater day" where other classes such a psychology and Russian History are offered. The scheduling allows the students to have variety in their day to day schedule. "We never get bored," said Steinauer.

As the world prepares to move into the 21st century, it will become more and more important for everyone to work together. It has been said that the world is getting smaller, and knowing about other languages and cultures will be a valuable asset to all who want to be successful in the future

bn a national average, only fifteen to twenty percent of high school students take a foreign language At Southeast, however, over fifty percent of t he students parlent francais, hablan espanol, or deutsch sprechen According to French teacher Kathie Uhrmacher, students who take a foreign language do better on ACT and SAT tests and in school 'Taking a foreign language helps students learn how to learn, " she said.

The entire district is going through a new process called "study cycle" in which they chose new text-

books, writing materials, and technology mainly for third and fourth year students for next year.

"We are revising curriculum and materials that will hopefully be available by next fall," said Uhrmacher

According to Spanish teacher Lorraine Walsh, learning another language helps students learn more about their own language and become more accepting of other cultures In most classes, students learn about foods, literature, art and customs of different cultures.

"A lot of kids get into a language because they have to , but end up really liking it, " said Uhrmacher

The days are gone when people can isolate themselves from the rest of the world, but with the experiences gained through Southeast language classes, the Knights will be a step above the rest

* Laura Meyerle

"A person who does not know a foreign language, does not know his own language."

-Johann Wolf gang Von . Goethe

"Taking French allows me to explore new horizons and broaden my scope of the world "

-Laura Stohrdahl, junior

"It helps to know a foreign language because it opens up my job opportunities ."

-Ambra Batson, senior

"Since Spanish is the second most popular language in the U.S. it will be beneificial because you will be able to communicate with more people."

-Emily Rose, sophomore

One of the activities that makes learning Spanish more fun is playing games such as "Matamoscas," which translates to "Flyswatter." The teacher calls out a vocabulary word in English and the students try to find the Spanish · word on the screen and swat it. For example, the teach e r yells out "to see!" and the stude nts mak e a mad dash to find the word ''ver " on the overhead

Playing the game is a fun wa y to learn because it creates a competitive atmosphere and helps with m e morization. It causes a rivalry between students and they want to do their be s t to fin d the word and beat the other team.

Matamoscas son buenas. Sophomore Dave Bougger and junior Danielle Mueller demonstrate this popular Spanish game as they learn to increase their Spanish vocabulary.

Many sophomores look forward to their sixteenth birthday. It is on this day that they get their drivers license and gain their independence Before they can go cruising on "O" Street with their friends, however, all sixteen years olds must pass a driving test. Passing this test is a major source of stress for many people. There are many things that one needs to know in order to pass the test , such as how to switch lanes correctly and the correct distance at which to follow other cars To help students learn how to drive correctly and pass the test, school 's offer a driver's education class

"Driver's Ed helped me really learn how to drive I felt like I was ready for the test when I went to take it, " sophomore Carrie Knight said During Driver's Ed, students studied the basics

of driving first from a book, then simulators and finally, driving. For many, the actual driving was the most memorable part of the experience Knight recounted one particularly scary experience "I was in the backseat waiting for my chance to drive while sophomore Annie Richardson was driving. She ran a red light and almost got hit ." Senior Liz Brandle remembered a scary experience from her Drivers Ed class "Another girl was driving while I was in the car and she tried to change lanes without checking . She almost ran into a semi -truck "

Senior Jacquetta Lannan liked Driver's Ed for a different reason "I got to be really good friends with senior Stacy Eggers again We had been friends , but drifted apart Driver's Ed brought us together ."

As Southeast continues to grow bigger in numbers, space is becoming more and more limited each year Despite the six new classrooms added in the 1996- 1997 school year, Southeast cannot handle the amount of new people who come here each year

Having added three new portables last year in front of the school, the school had no more available space to add new buildings, which meant additional space had to be found inside the school. The art room balcony was redesigned into enclosed space this year in order to make room for more math rooms .

When Southeast was designed in 1955, the art room was designed to be very open "Now that the balcony has been removed, it has compromised the design of the room, " said art teacher Karen Schanou. "Even though we have maintained half

of the balcony, it just isn't the same. It is very secluded and closed off to the rest of the art room. It is hard for me to let students go up there where I can not watch them or monitor what they are doing ." Schanou added, "There are unique spaces designed for certain things, and this is one of those spaces ."

Senior Ryan Martin said that when he was up in the balcony he felt more inspired to do art. "I wish I had more room in my schedule to take more art classes."

Some art classes offered at LSE are : Beginning Jewelry, Jewelry Design, 3-0 Design, Beginning Drawing, Beginning Sculpture, Beginning Pottery, Pottery Styles, Pottery as Art, Beginning Photography, Photo Styles, and many more.

Southeast is the only school in Lincoln that has the resources to have a successful jewelry department. Seniors Jill Adams, Jessica Letheby, Stacy Henn and junior Megan Lundy take advantage of the high tech jewelry class that is offered and taught by Mrs. Lucy Wicks. Students make everything from band rings to bracelets and necklaces. Those who take this class have really seemed to like it. Many students will take advanced jewelry to further their skills.

"I like jewelry because it lets me express a different side of myself from how I am in my regular classes," said Letheby

Southeast is fortunate to have such classes as jewelry. If you are considering an art class in your future, jewelry could be the class for you.

The purpose of late nights is to catch up on any work that needs to be completed or to get a jump start on the next deadline Yet, in many cases it doesn't seem to work out that way "With one day to deadline ten pictures disappeared," senior co-editor of the Shield Liz Murphy said. "We had to make last minute enlargements and changes It was crazy!" It all worked out in the end when the staff worked together to solve the problem.

The most common problem with publications is the printers Clarion staff members sing to the main printer they named Eileen "Eileen gets jammed a lot from everyone trying to print," senior co-editor Kendra Moller commented, "so we sing 'Come On Eileen' to encourage it to print." Group dynamics is important when students want to create memories that will last a lifetime

Even with the nightmares that occur through out the year, staff members believe that working on a publications staff is a great way to meet and learn how to work with a group of people. The seniors of the publications staffs would like to share a parting quote from the wall : "How lucky I am to have known someone so well that saying goodbye hurts so much."

"In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story."

-Walter Kronkite Journalist

"Publications is an endless source of frustration, confusion, and bewilderment but it's the most fun I've ever had at school."

-Junior Logan Seacrest, Clarion

"I have been in journalism my entire high school career, and I can't think of how I could have had more fun, made more friends, and learned something at the same time."

-Senior Tom Beckius, Clarion

"It is a real honor to have your writing published. It gives writers and photographers an opportunity to show their talent."

Future journalists may want to consider a publications staff. You should take the Journalism 1 class, which gives potential staff members the opportunity to develop an issue of the Clarion, and the writing techniques that transfer over to the yearbook staff. "It gave me more experience with writing and the computers," . sophomore Nadia Dahab said.

There is also another publication that is not as widely known amoung Southeast students because it is only published once a year. "From the Depths" is a creative writing magazine that is produced b y the Advanced Creative Writing class. "We encourage all students to submit all kinds of creative works," senior Emil y Eisenhauer said. The class met ever y da y of second semester to create the magazine. It featured art, photo graph y, poetry and prose from many cr e ative students.

Members of the Clar ion staff sacrificed the unexpected week long vacation in late October due to the snow storm to come in and write a "late breaking " news story about the storm , even though the paper was supposed to be at print. The paper ended up coming out a week late with some stories a little outdated

"With a monthly paper you can't always cover current news, but we do our best ," said Clarion News Editor junior Laura DeWitt.

When you think of activities that Student Council does throughout the year, you might think of Homecoming or Spring Day, but there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you might not know about. This year at the National Association of Student Councils (NASC) state convention •n Grand Island, the council, along with Dr. Becker and Mr Toalson, won many prestigious awards. The council earned the distinction of "Outstanding Council of the Year. " Junior Erin Witt compiled the agendas, minutes, scrapbook, and other data relating to council and submitted it to a review board. The board of NASC members chose the LSE Student Council as one of the top councils in Nebraska "It was really hard to get all of that information together, but the award was worth it, " said Witt

As Southeast grows · larger in numbers, there are many more hobbies that students are interested in. One of the new clubs that was added this year was Astronomy Club.

Do you know what the universe truly consists of? The newly formed Astronomy Club has some idea. In this club, the member s enjoy learning about the stars, the sky and everything beyond.

Tim Carlton,senior, says that he really enjoys learning about the constellations and how big the universe really is. "When you

are in Astronomy Club you realize how small you are in comparison to the sky above us "

Some of the fun activities that the Astronomy Club gets to participate in are going to the Hyde Observation Center, experiencing the star bubble and making mini telescopes.

Another activity that the club got to enjoy during the ye ar was periodically going into the dark countryside and viewing the stars in their full glory, with out any interruptions. They called these

outings "Star Parties." The Star Parties were very special because they gave the members a chance to fully appreciate the greatness of the universe. "Being out there without interruptions, it really hit home how incredible the universe is," said Carlton.

The Astronomy Club hopes to attract new members by publicizing their club and improving everyone's knowledge of the galaxy. Hopefully, their efforts will pay off and the club will continue for many wonderful years

Rewards of Participatio1 k_,

0n September 23,204 Southeast seniors were honored at the National Honor Society (NHS) induction ceremony in the Southeast Prosch Gymnasium.

NHS was founded in 1921 with the hope of creating an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievements while developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. Each year, the members of NHS elect five of the members to serve as leaders. This year, these five students were Marie Milligan-President, Toni Ahrendt-Vice President, Sara Nadelman-Secretary, llya Brown- Treasurer and Elizabeth Dyer-Reporter. · Students wishing to become a part of NHS must

meet certain requirements, such as they must be a senior with a 3 .5 GPA or above for six straight semesters If the GPA falls below 3 5 the student will be dismissed. They also must be involved in at least two different extra curricular activities every year of their high school career and have to be approved by the faculty of Southeast.

NHS not only brings pride to its members, it also gives them an edge in the college and job search. Senior Jim Rosenberger said the most interesting thing about NHS was that, "Lot's of colleges recognize you for being on NHS ."

NHS members were honored at ceremonies throughout the year They received medallions,

which they wore at the Honors Convocati during the year A mark was made on their manent record to ensure that members wi l ways be recognized.

Dyer said the most interesting activity that did was going to junior high schools and h ing the ninth graders deal with the change f junior high to high school. Rosenberger and I both said that this community project was and made them feel good

Other community service projects this 1 were collecting, making and delivering foo< Habitat for Humanity and talking at ninth gr parent orientation in February

As far as the Southeast populace is con cerned, the Republican party is no match for the Democratic party .in volleyball that is On the September club day, the Young Democrats smashed the Teenage Republicans by a score of 15-6, 15- 1

These two clubs aren't completely concerned with volleyball though The main purpose of Young Democrats and Teenage Republicans is to discuss political issues concerning their political party. The clubs also " provide an opportunity for youth to become involved in the Democratic political system, " Young Democrats executive member junior Derrick Eells commented, "and even though we agree with the

Democratic platform, we have varying views within our own club ."

Both clubs have become involved not only in the Nebraska government, but also with the current election for governor Democratic primary candidate Bill Hoppner came to speak to the Young Democrats on February 18th. The Young Democrats' exe~utive committee also volunteered to work at the state senators ' dinner Teenage Republicans volunteered to help the Republican candidates John Breslow, Mike Johanns and Jon Christensen's campaign committees 'Teenage Republicans is a club for those who really believe in the Republican philosophy and want to be involved politically and just have

fun," noted Teenage Republican executive member junior Zac Rustad ·

The Young Democrats and Teenage Republicans also have made commitments to non-politically related activities. Both clubs have designed and printed out their own T-shirts To get revenge on the Young Democrats, the Teenage Republicans challenged the Young Democrats to a friendly, but competitive game of laser tag at LaserQuest. The rivalry is h igh between the two parties, but always in good humor. Just like the political parties that they represent, the clubs have one goal in common, the betterment of society

This year six Southeast students participated in the Model United Nations. They represent two countries, Luxembourg and France. Students apply for a country they are inte rested in and do research on that country. If there is an available position for that _ country, they get it. Then they consider the issues of their countries such as the tensions between states, the enforcement of laws, keeping the peace, and the economics of that country and debate them with other Nebraska high school students. The competition was

held in March.

Luxembourg was chosen because sophomore Matt Anderson did some research on the country in the past and he thought it was interesting.

"I'm good at world history and I knew a lot about Luxembourg," said Anderson. The skills students acquire by participating in Model UN can be applied to other areas of life. 'The experience gives you good negotiation skills," Anderson said.

Sophomore John Thorson said it informs you of the issues of other coun-

tries. "Model UN gives you a better understanding of the real UN and how it works. It also looks good on resumes." When asked his opinion of the Saddam Hussein situation and the weapons inspections, Thorson said, "I wouldn't touch that issue with a l Ofoot pole." He believes it is too controversial and he couldn't make the right decision.

5ign language ... the language of un spoken words The beautiful movement of ha nds that make up this language has be come the basis of a new club at Southe ast. Those in the club meet on Club Day once a month to learn sig n language Unfortunately, this is not nearly enough time to learn the language, which is wh y many of the members go to addit io nal meetings every Monday after scho ol "This is a great group of kids . They re-

ally want to learn the language They are very enthusiastic and have worked h ard this year, " said club sponsor Barb Sa mpson

Si gn Language Club made a trip to Pres cott Elementary School this year to wor k with preschoolers and first graders. This opportunity gave students the cha nce to communica t e with young peo p le who are hearing impaired and be p os itive role models for these students.

Earlier in the year there were hopes of sign language becoming part of the school's curriculum next year as an alternative to Spanish, French, or German. Unfortunately, this will have to wait a couple of years The school board feels there is no budget for such a class. For the time being, the support for the sign language club grows and students continue to learn the beautiful language on their own time

Students helping students? Neat idea , but it could never happen, right? Well , fourteen Southeast seniors are out to prove that students can help each other The Student Mediators work everyday to help other students, and sometimes teachers, solve conflicts Mediators are ava ilable every period from second to eight on every single day Each class period has two mediators assigned to it Students that are either in a fight with another person or sense a disagreement coming can either get referred to mediation or can ask to be mediated themselves

The mediators resolve problems through talking They begin by asking for both sides of the story and continue talking through the problem

with the people being mediated, ending with a peaceful resolution Senior Jamie Martin explained how she felt about the mediating process when she said, "We begin in darkness and hatred and emerge in light."

The conflict resolution is a reason why many mediators enjoy being mediators Martin said, "I like counseling others through their troubled times. " Senior Maree Johnson explained that she liked mediating because it helps her "stop a lot of incidents from happening and cut down on potential fights "

Mediators are chosen through a strict process. First, they must be nominated by a peer The list of nominations is narrowed down through interviews. Once they are chosen, future media-

tors must attend a two-week training s During this session, they are given p which contain scenarios with partners how to mediate and what questions Johnson described training as basicall mon sense

Through mediation, students learn sk reach beyond the classroom Johnson I, "to look at both sides of a story. " She ac am not as quick to judge as I was before tin said mediating gave her the opport 1 form relationships with the other mediate almost like a camraderie develops, " s~ As for an overall impression of mec Johnson laughed, "It's definitely

Nature Club is one of the many clubs that is trying to help the environment a nd create an awareness for people so they realize what is happening to the environment when they don 't recycle or when they just throw away their newspapers.

Nature·Club took over the white paper recycling from STUCO because of the many other responsibilit ies STUCO had. Members collect the overflowin g boxes of paper and take them to the recycling center. One day they hope to take

charge of recycling other things around the school such as plastic bott les and pop cans.

The theme of the club is ''To make the grass greener." Many of the club's members are motivated to keep the ground clean and pick up trash on their own time. "We're the kind of people that take initiat ive," said junior Amanda Valentine She also described the members as motivated and not really in need of organizati on .

Nature club is trying to make enough

money from concessions, recycling and other projects to go camping. This is the first year for this club. Senior Ashley Bos said being in this club has made her aware, and that she "notices trash more." Bos also said, "If people wonder why our parking is getting taken away it's because we haven't been taking care of the space we've been given." One thing Bos wants people to learn from t his club is to "keep the environment clean." Maybe someday, this hope will become a reality.

Bang! Bang! Down goes an other clay pigeon. This is a common occurance at Lincoln Trap and Skeet where the Southeast Trap Club practices twice a week. During each meeting, the members who come equipped with their own gun, meet up and practice their shooting skills.

During a typical practice, the members shoot two rounds of 25 bullets from between a 17 yard line and a 25 yard line. Sophmore Jon Williams said he enjoys Trap Club because it's challenging and fun.

At competitions, the members have a possibility of winning prizes and money for how well they do. Competitions vary

from place to place in Nebraska. f"J people chose to participate in Trap because it gives them a chance to s~ time with people who share the s, desire to shoot trap.

Sophomore Jerad Hutchens sai1 joined Trap Club for that reason " being around people who enjoy d the same things as me," he said. Bang! Bang! Down goes another pigeon.

With more than 800 students involved in intramurals, it is by far the largest after-school activity at Southeast Not only is it the largest intramural program in the city, it's also the largest in the state.

Commissioner Dan Dougherty is in charge of the program "We love to have kids participate, " he said "The more the better " According to Dougherty, new ideas are always welcome. Tm always willing to try new and innovative activities."

lntramurals range from weight lifting to water polo, from flag football to five on five basketball. No matter what one's interest , there is probably a sport for them

Senior Ritchi Rullifson and junior Br i an

Intnlunl Sport& L\

Wandzilak are active participants in the intramural program Wandzilak, who participates in soccer, five on five and Shaq basketball, and volleyball says it's a fun way to meet people, have a good time, and it gives him something to do after school. There are no practices, but the students get together a few times a week for games. The competition is intraschool because only varsity teams are allowed to take on other schools, but competing against each other is just as fun.

Both Wandzilak and Rullifson agree that their favorite sport is five on five basketball, but according to Dougherty, floor hockey has been the most popular intramural sport There are numerous options no matter what

season In the fall, there is a choice between weight lifting, water polo, bowling and fantasy football. In the winter, there is Spud (for those students under S' 1O") and Shaq (for those students S' 1O" and over) basketball, five on five basketball, coed volleyball, indoor soccer, weight lifting, and conditioning. In the spring, there is flag football, floor hockey, bowling, weight lifting, and golf.

'The best thing about intramural sports is the great sportsmanship and great organization by Commissioner Dougherty," said Rullifson. Wit h two out of every five students playing intramurals, their popularity is likely to continue *Laura Meyerle and Robb Gettman

For the second year in a row, senior Kyle Schumann came back to defend his title as three point shoot-out champion. Schumann, who has always loved basketball, was a manager for the boy's basketball team.

"I shoot a lot during practice, which really helps a lot," he said. The shoot-out took place at halftime of the varsity girl's basketball game against Pius. There are five spots on the court where each competitor shoots from and five balls on each rack. The contestants must make as many baskets from each spot as possible in 70 seconds. If all the balls are not shot, they are deducted from the final score.

Schumann beat his opponent, Robert Raymer, with a score of 14 points. "Shooting three pointers is my specialty," he said.

Blue Skies, H NChange the Word, H "All of Me," and "The Wanderer# were just a few of the songs the sophomore singing and dancing group Knight Sounds have performed This assortment of 20 sophomores have entertained a lot of people at their concerts during the year

Na-Ne-Ny-No-Nu, is what you might hear walking down the music hall of Southeast The sweet sounds might be coming from one of the five excellent junior senior select singing groups here at Southeast, ·Countesses and Noblemen

Countesses and Noblemen, better known as C and N, has been a swing choir group at Southeast for many years and the tradition of excellence continues This year C and N was selected to represent Nebraska in the National Swing Choir Festival in Branson Missouri.

1truly believe that our love for music helps us bond together and I think it shows on stage I am so glad that we are all friends and get along so well. We have so much fun together," said

senior Sean McCracken

One event that helps everyone bond is the bringing in of the new C and N members . Every year the seniors will take a new junior or sophomore to various locations to sing blind-folded They would go to places such as Best Buy, Rock and Roll Runza, and Christy's Toy Box This year the Countesses and Noblemen sang in Night of Knights The Noblemen sang an acappella version of Pretty Woman and the Countesses sang Faith.

One tradition the Countesses and Noblemen have is an annual camping trip. This is a time for all of them to bond and become really close. They have to be careful when they plan this annual event because of Nebraska weather On

last year's camping trip, they got rained on Another one of the many things C and N do ls go to a recording studio and make a recording of their songs They do this at the end of the year and it includes all the songs they did through out the year. Every member receives a tape That way they can have something to remember their great talent and all the fun they had

"Every year the Countesses and Noblemen become very close; it's going to be hard to leave it all behind," said senior Lynda Ewell. Even though the seniors leave, new members join in and continue to sing for Southeast.

There they again received a Division 1

rating The band then marched in the Star City Holiday Parade on December 6th

The three drum majors that are a part of marching band are seniors Chris Nierman, Monica Long, and junior Amy Johnson "We've continued to build on what we had learned the previous years, and have continued to improve through all these consecutive years," said Chris Nierman.

The Marching Band began practicing two weeks before school started during a band camp at Southeast, and practiced about six hours a day until school was in session. After school began, the band practiced from 7:008:30 AM every morning during football season

and played at all of the home football There were 1SO students who were invo Marching Band, including the twenty gir are part of the Flagline

A grand welcome . For Spirit Week, STUCO decorated the front windows. Students enjoy the decorations on their way to the portable classrooms.

Welcome to the jungle As more and more students come to Southeast, the halls get more crowded each year. Students hustle through busy "jock hall" while preparing for their next class.

We've come to see the Wiz . The fall play, "The Wiz" was a huge success. Characters peiform one of the amazing acts.

CLOSING 255

Colop~o(;\

The 1998 Shield was printed by Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline, Missouri. 1700 copies of this Shield were ordered. After brainstorming ideas, we combined our ideas to create this year's theme, The Spirit of South After agreeing on the theme, we met with our Walsworth cover artist, Michelle Tilley, to create a cover that helped visL our theme. The theme was carried throughout the yearbook by editors Liz Murphy and Erin Dawes and the entire S staff. The title page and colophon photos were taken by Libby Volgyes.

The Shield was completed in six deadlines with the use of Pagemaker 5.0. The fonts used were Vagabond, p Lucido Bright, Bergell, Times, and Zapf Dingbats.

You are holding in your hands the product of many hours of detail-oriented and meticulous work . Oftentime!

Istudent body doesn't realize what goes on "behind the scenes " Yearbook staff members spent over 250 hours durin~ nights, working on weekends and over holiday breaks in addition to class time to complete this yearbook. Photogra~ spent additional hours covering school activities and events.

The Shield staff would like to thank our advisor, Ann Quinlan, for her unending support, ·devotion, and time

111 would also like to thank our Walsworth representatives Mike Diffenderfer and Brenda Search for their knowledge one ativity that helped make this book possible. Additional thanks goes to Dr. Becker, Mr. Emry, and Mrs Kuppig for their ·1 and support. The greatest thanks goes to the student body, local advertisers, the community, and the Lincoln Publics, " System for allowing us to create the 1998 Shield.
