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

-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."

hen 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 devoted 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 painted 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 ."

The Spirit Club showed its support through a variety of ways. The main objective was to in-

games, Spirit members dressed up in "spirit garb" which included the always popular painted faces.

"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 snrnetn-ncs your ~,.;rnde con be and never lose sight of their enthusiasm."

trong team unity and aggressiveness were common characteristics amongthe fall sport teams that led them to a successful year.

Carrying on the tradition of winning state titles, Girls' Cross Country won their ninth consecutive Class A state title and their 11th overall.

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 world, 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

his 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.

hen 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."

16 ACADEMICS

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.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson Cornhusker Girls' State and Boys' State was a one week experience where 800 girls and boys from all over Nebraska learned about the structure of government and then got the chance to run their own miniature state gov-

ernment. Six girls and two boys attended tc represent Southeast. Each participant had tc run for an office and participate in an activit\ such as chorus, band, or newspaper.

This experience gave all participants a stron{ sense of what real politicians have to endurE by making campaign posters, giving cam • paign speeches, and doing whistle stops or the eight floors of Sandoz Hall. During the do) much time was spent listening to speeches re • garding government and politics. Many gov • ernment officials offered their expertise. On1i noted speaker at Girls' State was United State ; Senator Chuck Hagel.

Aro■d the lorld in II lays ummer. 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 during 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

S

Czech Republic. "We saw a lot of new things and met lots of new people," said Stuckey.

They went sight-seeing, hiking, and worked with the church there. Stuckey and Parker both agree that the best part was shopping in Prague because everything was really cheap.

Six students who are members of the Pueri Cantores were invited to sing at the First International Childrens Choir Festival in England .

They had a big concert in London at Westminster Hall. They also sang in front of Buckingham Palace. There were eight other choirs from the United States that attended .

"We got to see a lot of history," said sopho-

Dillon's wish was to go to Paris, so the foundation sen1 the family to Paris, London, and Rome from September 7-19. They went on lots of tours and one of the highlights was riding the Eurostar which goes under the English Channel.

Many Knights spent their summers right here in Nebraska. Senior Russell Hohensee spent o lot of time sleeping . "I was resting up for my senior year," said Hohensee.

Perhaps this i~ the summer they will finally be able to redecorate their room or travel the globe. Then, wit~ a glance outside, their hopes are frozen as colc as the snow.

riendships 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

20 FRIENDSHIP

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 .

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

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. During the summe:· you can be sure to find him and his friends malE! bonding at Pine Lake, running around shirtless, hoping to catch something with minnows. "If you look at my friends, you will be able to sef~ why we're better and funnier than everyono else," said Gustafson's friend, Scott Blomberg .

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 samE! 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 what friendship means, all agree friends are impor tant. *Emily Eisenhauer

am dreaming 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 electricity. Many homes were without 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.

The Spirit of Southeast The true meaning of spirit lies in the people: every sophomore, junior, senior, and teacher. With what we accomplish in our three years at Southeast, we leave our mark for those yet to come. Everyone has their own interests and talents, but from these differences we come together to unite as one.

It is our unique personalities combined that bring Southeast to life, forming the Spirit of Knights.

f 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? * Lisa Barney

Top 'O the lonin' t, You "May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, Until we meet again, may the good Lord Hold you in the palm of his hands."

-An Irish blessing

L

ast summer Southeast seniors had the opportunity to visit parts of Europe including England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales through the People to People High School Student Ambassador program .

Seniors Carrie Myers, Jame Strand, Katie Westhoff, Liz Brandle, Brenna Thompson, and junior Anna Coleman were chosen through an application process and selected to go on the trip . The group included students from around Nebraska, Iowa and Washington State.

"My favorite place was Ireland .

Before we got there, it had rained everyday, but when we got to Ireland, it was sunny. It was the most beautiful place I've ever seen ," Myers said .

The three week trip included sightseeing and family home stays. Students stayed with families in England and Ireland . They became a member of that family, and did the everyday activities of an average family.

Senior Katie Westhoff enjoyed her home stay in Ireland . "I was with Brenna Thompson; we played soccer, went shopping, and met new people," Westhoff said .

Both Myers and Westhoff hope to visit Ireland and England again soon. Myers keeps in contact with her Irish ftlmily and the Washington students. "I hope to go back to Ireland, definitely Killarney," Myers said. * Erin Dawes PHOTO COURTESY OF CARRIE MYE :~

distant "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 ."

I

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 that 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 B

ackpacking 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.

he sound of violins filters through the air, dancing around the room melodically.

Determination 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 experience 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

L

ooking down the hallways at school, one might do a double take, or notice that there are two people in your classes who look strikingly similar. There are several sets of twins in the graduating class of 1998, and, although not all of them are identical, they are definitely twins .

Jim and Josh Rosenberger are identical 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 until junior high. They also had a class together their senior year. "It was kind of weird 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 Katie 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 in pink, " said Jennie .

Although they look alike, the Shamblins

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 Eric.

"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 unique 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.

ave 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 .

an 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.

Taking Eltrnrrioolar t, the Extreme S

eniors Ryan Kuhl and Jason Thies take the word extracurricular to the very extreme.

Basketball is their sport, and they thoroughly enjoy it . They played basketball at lunch everyday and practiced often during the school year.

"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 in the Husker Hoops Tournament," Kuhl said . "It was kind of a shock, we were happy to be able to do so well."

With the Husker Hoops Regional Tournament being divided into numerous divisions, Thies and Kuhl took third place out of the eight teams in their division , which qualified 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 their great experience. * Marissa Hodges and Kendra Moller PHOTO COURTESY OF JASON T HIES

"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.

hat 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. "It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot! I wish we could have gotten more sleep, though, " said senior Jennie Shamblin .

"The conference consisted of early mornings, eventful days, and late nights, but despite the lack of sleep, we still had fun," she added .

There were many experiences at the conference, including great sessions and action packed workshops . Development tracks that students could choose from included entrepenuership, promotion, technology and leadership .

"There was an excellent motivational speaker named John Alston .

Luckily, I got the chance to hear him twice . He talked about strength of character. He did a great job!" said senior Brad Comstock .

Through DECA, many seniors have developed their character.

"DECA has taught me how to present information in front of groups, and one on one interviews have become easier," said senior Emily Stuckey. DECA members also participate in competitions that are held statewide and nationally. Besides marketing and related activities, DECA also did many things including the donut stand, bowling, bell ringing, DECA week, Jungle Bells at the zoo, a toiletry drive, and bringing gifts for a needy family around the holidays. "DECA gives me the chance to be a leader and contribute to the good of the entire club ," said Comstock . "DECA rocks! " added Stuckey.

It Takes aCo•ui to Baise aChild

ho 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

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 .

unior 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

I

Neimann, is also in the NBC chapter of Junior Achievement. Like Letheby, Neimann is also on the Board of Directors. Each week, the group meets at the Junior Achievement center for a two hour meeting . This year the group has sold, among other things, poinsettias.

Neimann hoped to get the Top Salesman of the Year award . He sold 140 poinsetias in one week, totaling over $1400 in sales . He said selling to people comes naturally to him . "I want to major in business .

Junior Achievement is a great way to help me prepare for my future ."

At the end of each year, the Junior Achievement sponsors a banquet for the participants. Winners of contests are awarded and given the opportunity to go to Washing. ton D.C. to attend a national Junior Achievement convention.

Overall, Junior Ach ievement teaches business, ethics, entrepreneurship, and offers opportunities to make new friends . * Emily Eisenhauer

big ta Searob fo Answe with College But ey 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 ing 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 motivated 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-

H

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 topic. 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."

oping to become a better writer? Perhaps you should talk to seniors Maggie Berndt, Richard Hahn and Jeremy Suhr for some advice . For these students, writing is not only something they are good at, it is a past time.

And what a pastime it has proven to be. Along with seniors Jerusha Hancock and Jane Holsapple, they were nominated for the National Council of Teachers for English Achievement Award . Berndt was a state winner for this award .

Hahn and Suhr were also recognized for their writing abilities when they were chosen to be semi-finalists in the IUPUI Youth Theatre Playwriting Contest last year for a play they co-wrote .

Hahn and Suhr spent three days in Indianapolis for this contest, attending a symposium by prof essional writers and seeing their play being read . "Being there and hearing our words acted was one of the

greatest experiences of my life," Hahn said .

Even with the awards and recognition, these students try to improve their writing every day. "I examine the style of every author I read as a means of improvement and such scrutiny invariably affects, for a short time anyway, how I write," explained Suhr.

Berndt mentioned that the books she read helped her to see different styles, perspectives, and viewpoints, which she incorporates in her writing . Hahn said that he also is influenced by what he reads .

"The desire to write was largely an imitative one . I wanted to write those wonderful books I read ."

Although these students write everyday, it is not always something they enjoy writing . Berndt summed her writing up when she exclaimed, "I write something everyday, though most of the time, it is a school assignment."

After all, we did it. A few short days to go, and we will have survived our sophomore year. We're ready for summer and prepared for the next two years . Way to go class of 2000!

low 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.

alking 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.

n 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 . * Laura Meyerle and Erin Dawes

ne skill that can be a lifesaver at LSE is the ability 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 fails. * Ryan Legg

low to Get aPn■ Bat,

goal for many young sophomores is to find a suitable 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 shopping 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. * Carrie Myers and Emily Eisenhauer

he 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, leis, 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 . * Liz Murphy and Sara Nadelman

he 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 friends with a senior could help you feel 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 walking 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 sitting 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

f 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. * Adam Wiley and Matt Anderson.

oming 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 commotion . 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! * Jamie Burner and Liz Murphy

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 time-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 right (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 .

I 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 straight 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

, "I used to run in the Lincoln Youth Track Club. Next ·spring I will be coaching this team. It's a great experience because I love working with kids," Ellis said.

"le are the llapiou!"

Vanity F11tJtall Takes Sta ndisputed 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 .

U

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," com mented 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 begin to describe it, you'd just have to do it."

ever underestimate the talents of the underclassmen at Southeast. Varsity golf was filled with talents of all ages, including many underclassmen, this year. "At the beginning of the season we felt we would not be competitive because we were so young," said senior Kathy Lau . The team included one sensational senior, one outstanding junior, two super sophomores, and one fabulous freshman who together surprised even themselves by placing third in the state competition.

Through the season the talents of the golf team stood out. The team, along with Lau, consisted of junior Annie Olson, sophomores Amy Campbell and Katie Garcia, and freshman Beth Ann Cherry.

Even though the team was very young, everything seemed to click.

Golf is an individual sport, but each score contributes to the score for the whole team . As an individual a player most overcome the mental aspects of the game. ''This year the team was really close," junior Annie

Olson commented, "With the support of your teammates it makes everything else easier."

Along with the teammates support, each person had their own extra feeling of confidence . The team would mark each of their own balls with the same symbol each time. "I mark mine with a 21 , because my favorite football player is Damon Bening," Lau said .

In addition to support and confidence, this season provided some exciting moments for the team .

"The highlight of the season was Districts," Lau said, "when we took first place." This victory prepared the team for the following week at State. Southeast placed third with a score of 718 . Ke9rney, the first place team, shot 686. "With the results this season, our team should be very good next year." Olson concluded . "We are proud of what we did together this season." Once again, the Knights triumphed over challenges to end in a blaze of glory.

ymnastics 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 get 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."

oftball has an established tradition of excellence. All teams did well during their seasons and came out on top or pretty close! The Varsity team ended up with a 35- 12 record and placed third in the state tournament.

What is the secret to their success? Senior center fielder Kelsey Duckworth said, "We're all really good friends . That helps us and makes it a lot more fun. "The team bonded by having team nights, the goal of winning state, and by hanging out on weekends.

Team captains, Duckworth and senior Stacy Henn helped establish leadership as well as the seniors on the team . Strong offensive and defensive performances were also put in by junior pitcher Megan Faris and junior short stop Alicia Armbruster respectively. The team had strong unity and combined with Head Coach Gene Lessman, and JV Coach Scott Galusha and Reserve Coach Charmain Satree, they formed a

powerhouse team that posed a threat to all of their competition.

Anyone who attended the games noticed the cheering of the whole team throughout the competition.

The level of fun is what made varsity's year special.

JV Softball had a strong season as well. They ended up with a 17 -9-3 record. They met their goal of taking the city championship . "We had a good season where we worked hard to get the city championship .

The whole team pulled together for the tournament," said sophomore Nicole Nicholsen. The Knights were fueled by their goals and team spirit which led them in a great finish to a great season.

The Reserve team also had a great season·. They ended with a 8-5 record . A highlight of the season was the winning of the Fremont tourney said Tierra Hess, sophomore. All in all it was a great season for the Knights. *Sara Nadelman

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.

he 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.

twas 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 ."

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

each day we went to the training room and didn't leave till 7:00 p.m. during the week," Stephenson stated .

Although many of the trainers are people who are interested in the medical field, the job is not only limited to people with this interest.

Many students find the range of activities very interesting, even if they do not have future interests in the medical field ..

-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 .

successful season in Southeast Wrestling doesn 't only begin with great athletes. All athletes have to balance school with sports. Everyday lives of an athlete show the determination it takes to succeed at both sports and academics .

Junior Chris Loos has juggled school with sports for 3 years. 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 whole 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."

At the end of the season all the wrestlers had reason to be proud of the effort that had been accomplished "In my four years on the team, this year's team tried the hardest," senior Nick Novacek said .

This drive allowed the team to succeed in all areas. * Carrie Myers and Ryan Legg

ith a perfect record, city championship, and a # 1 state title, the varsity ten_nis 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!

veryone 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 .

hat 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. Another 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 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 Rigby(Res) .

he 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 coaching 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," said Smith .

The Knights made an appearance at state this season . After convincingly 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.

At 13-5 the Knights had a very successful season .

ith 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 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. *Adam Wiley and Laura Meyerle

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.

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 as 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.

ould deep thoughts be the key to success? For the Jun ior Va rsity 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 in cluded getting along on and off the court, having a love for the game, and encourag ing 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 .

uts, 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 they 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 .

iris 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 ."

s the year draws to a close, we look back and remember the world and nationa news-making events that helped form our year. Such events a : Tom Osborne retiring were unexpected and left many Nebraskans saddened but with great memories of his 25-year victorious reign over Nebraska football. The 4L 17 Orange Bowl triumph over Tennessee brought with it the third national champior 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 Kwrn 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 the i1 last year at Southeast. They are: Louise Alfrey, English; Gail Baum, Driver Educatirn 1 Chuck Evans and Mickey Johnson, Counselors; Mara Murphy, English; Mary Oestmani 1 Vocal Music; and Denny Puelz, Physical Education.

Some world events, such as the deaths of Mother Teresa and Princess Diana, the sih • ations in Israel and Iraq, and the sending of the Pathfinder seemed far away and unn :· lated to Lincoln, Nebraska. However, students spent time learning about these curre1r 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.

VanDervoort's classes have many opportunities for unique experiences .

"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.

rom 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 surprised to see where mathematics shows up! " Mrs. Wendy Herbin, 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 underlying mathematics is probably limited in the ir advancemen possibilities," Advanced Algebra and Calculus teacher, Mr. Dan Hohensee said .

mathematics, the logic and problem solving skills used in mathematics problems are invaluable in life . I have visited previous students who say that they're surprised that they need math in their job," Herbin said.

The Southeast Math Department offers math courses such as Geometry, Foundation Math, Applied Math, Transition Math, Beginning Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Diff Advanced Algebra, Pre Calculus, Diff Pre Calculus, Calculus, BASIC, PASCAL, Advanced Math, Functional 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 .

f 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.

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.

A Fiscal Fitness Seminar was held in Omaha on November 10th. It was chaired by Senator Bob Kerrey and sponsored by Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company. Two guest speakers, Gene Steuerle and Warren Buffet, talked about the importance of taking early steps towards lifelong financial security. Warren Buffet stressed that money is not the key to happiness. He left them with a valuable quote: "Successes are a journey, not a destination."

Southeast students who attended were: Jacob Cammack, Matt Cherry, Johanna Creswell, Ryan Hopkins, Jenny Ogorzolka, Julie Stenberg, and student leader Marie Milligan. The sponsors were Mr. Focht and Mrs. Seeman.

he 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 foreign 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 .

"You get out of it what you put in to it. If you try it can be a really good experience."

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 opportunity to take your interests to another level. * Jayme Oehm

"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 Steinauer.

Does this sound confusing to you? "You 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.

s 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 the 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

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 teacher yells out "to see!" and the stude.n ts make a mad dash to find the word ''ver" on the overhead.

Playing the game is a fun way to learn because it creates a competitive atmosphere and helps with m emorization.

It causes a rivalry between students and they want to do their best to fin d the word and beat the other team.

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

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."

he work-study program was directed by Mrs .

Ellen Williams and Mrs . Connie Witt . Students earned up to ten credit hours a semester in the program by working and going to school for at least fifteen hours of classes a semester.

"We find that a lot of employers like the program because they know the student is working for both the wages and the credit hours," said Mrs . Williams . The program was not a replacement to attendance; it was a reinforcement for the student to do well in school.

There were several important rules for the program .

One was that you can't change jobs more than once during the year and can not just walk off the job without losing credit . The program encouraged the students to succeed in both school and the workplace.

One of the students who participates in the work-study program was senior Ryan Onstad . He had an internship at the Lincoln radio station, 'The Blaze." He had worked there for over two years. At The Blaze he had the opportunity to apply his skills, use his great tenor disk jockey voice, and learn about the career he was inter-

ested in: broadcasting . He did all kinds of activitie the station .

"I've found a real niche for myself, I updated the Bia Website. I know a lot about computers," said Ons1 It also gave Onstad a chance to meet and see som, . his favorite music stars such as Sammy Hagar c Anthrax.

"The attitude they have at the Blaze towards m 'We're here to help you', but some of my friends 1 have other jobs have managers that are unfriendly , unworkable. There is nothing I don't like about my j1 he said . After Onstad finishes high school he plan attend college and take communications and reo a broadcasting license from the Federal Commun tions Commission .

There were many jobs the students in the progr held which ranged from department stores to lawn < to grocery stores . Students were all working for a i pose: to better their education and earn a little me 1 on the side. * Emily Eisenhc

s 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.

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.

ightmares occur at the worst times for most newspaper and yearbook staffs .

One nightmare occurance happened at a staff work night, a.k.a late nights. 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.

To develop a creative atmosphere both Clarion and Shield staffs put up pictures and quotes to inspire even the most uncreative people. Shield put up a poster of pictures with staff members. ''The purpose of the pictures is to commemorate the spirit of friendship that we have on staff," senior Sara Nadel man said . The Clarion staff displayed quotes or inspirational messages from staff members. "We work best when we are having fun in there," Moller said . All the quotes and pictures represent the friendships that were developed from the classes.

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.

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 by the Advanced Creative Writing class. "We encourage all students to submit all kinds of creative works," senior Emily Eisenhauer said. The class met every day of second semester to create the magazine.

It featured art, photography, poetry and prose from many creative students.

he President, senators and other public fig ures make it their job to speak publicly while using their speaking skills to argue with their opponents. You don't have to be a politician to speak eloquently or argue effectively.

Everyone from a five-year-old wanting candy to a teacher trying to persuade their students to do homework uses a form of speaking to influence others in their everyday lives. .

Southeast offers clubs which put these forms i of expressing thoughts and ideas to the test .

Students travel around the state competing with other speech and debaters. The Debate Team consists of 22 members. "Debate is a class, so most of our practicing occurs in class," junior Gretchen Doak commented . "Many times we , have practice debates after school."

During the debate competitions, two opposing competitors are given a topic on which they must present ideas for their side. "Each debater or team is judged by one judge for each round, and we are graded for our arguments," Doak said.

The speech team is similar in that they compete around the state with other schools. At their tournaments they choose one of nine events which range from interpretation to performing poetry. "We perform in front of a judge, in a round with five other people," senior Genny Critel said. Aga in, like the Debate team they are graded on how well they present their ideas. To prepare for competitions Speech members begin early in the year and practice almost everyday.

With the opportunities that the clubs give each student, it is hard not to be successful. "We have competed in many national tournaments in places like Texas and Chicago. Susannah Bohlke even won the opportunity to travel to Kentucky to compete," Doak said .

These positive ways of expressing one's ideas through the minds and voices of the competitors have proven beneficial for everyone involved. "Speech is definitely important for the future," Critel mentioned . "There is hardly a job on earth that you won't need to be effective in speaking ." Expressing arguments and being able to communicate are skills which will come in handy throughout most students' lives .

s 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 .

n 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

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.

s 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 high 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.

eople Outreaching for Women's Equality and Rights, bett~r kno~n as P.O.W.E.R, is a club that 1s dedicated to today's women. The members of this club believe that through laws and education, society can become truly equal. To clarify any misunderstandings about the clubs' position on the issue of equality, sponsor Kim Higgins stated "equalization for women is not to become more like men, but to have the same amount of choices."

The role P.O.W.E.R. has played in helping the promote the issue of womens' equality has been quite extensive this year. They have participated in self-defense classes,

On club days, speakers came from all over the city to tell personal stories about date rape and physical abuse. During many of the meetings, they talk about current worldly issues, such as feminism and sweatshops .

"The main objective of our club is to get the message out. By empowering women, you are strengthening society," said Higgins.

The P.O .W.E.R. club made it clear that they are not against men, but they are "pro women."

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 additional meetings every Monday after school .

"This is a great group of kids . They re-

ally want to learn the language. They are very enthusiastic and have worked hard this year," said club sponsor Barb Sampson .

Sign Language Club made a trip to Prescott Elementary School this year to work with preschoolers and first graders. This opportunity gave students the cha nce to communicate with young people who are hearing impaired and be positive 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 .

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.

ature Club is one of the many clubs that is trying to help the environment and 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 responsibilities STUCO had.

Members collect the overflowing 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 bottles 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 initiative," said junior Amanda Valentine.

She also described the members as motivated and not really in need of organization .

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 this club is to "keep the environment clean."

Maybe someday, this hope will become a reality.

ith 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 ian

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. With 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.

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, C 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! student 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. 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 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.
