_I(eeping Up With The Gold.

There are expectations that come with being a Southeast Knight. Whether you are walking through the doors of the school for the first time, or crossing the stage to receive your diploma, you represent 'The Gold' of Southeast. No matter where you look, every aspect of this school contains an element of gold.

As we brainstormed theme ideas many suggestions arose. We were challenged with finding a theme that would have meaning to every student, while at the same time representing this year and this school. We discussed many options , and became frustrat.ed because we were settling on ideas that were less than perfect.

It was brought up that during cross country meets, fans and cheerleaders of opposing teams would encourage their runners to "Keep up with the yellow!" We contemplated the idea and decided that "Keeping Up with The Gold" t · perfect theme. Not only do other schools atte o eep up with us in academics and sports, but we strive to keep up with the tradition set throughout Southeast's history.

Memories of dances, football games, summer vacations, and friendships that mp._y_&t a lifetime are forever golden in the minds of the sr61:feti p teThe people of Southeast leave images of gold long after they are gone. The gold standard created by students and faculty allows everyone to achieve their academic potential and as we go for the gold, we find other teams striving to keep up with our athletic ability. Southeast students take advantage of the golden opportunities offered by our many clubs which encompass all students' interests.

Whether continuing the tra~ Efcfai1fA'rf, past, celebrating our su t'cesses of this year, or contemplating the future, we are "Keeping Up With The Gold."

A glimpse into the past ... To represent the school's history and how Southeast has continued to improve and keep a tradition of excellence, we have included pictures from past issues of the Shield. With these images we hope to give you a better understanding of the changes that have taken place within the school, along with those things which have withstood the test of time and become a part of what the school represents. Fads and fashions have come and gone, technology has improved, the black and gold have kept their flair and the success of students in academics and sports have continued to keep the Knights of Southeast striving to be the best.

Thousands of students have passed through Southeast's doors over the past forty-five years and they have continued to participate in activities much like those of the original student body. The clothing, music and hairstyles have continuously changed, but participation within the school and community have aineGl important in the eyes of the students. "Cyclones," " Knights," "Panthers" and "Saints" were the nic l'il m~~n~~nted by the student council in 1955. After deciding on the "Knights , " approved by principal Hazel Scott, the shield esign was made by two students. The fight song was written by the 1956-57 Lincoln Southeast Senior High Choir and the music was composed by their accompanist Edwin Wahl.

Memories and relationships created during high school become one of the most valuable parts of being a teenager. Summer academic programs, family vacations, part time jobs and hanging out with friends fill Southeast students' summer and time off from school. The friendships made during high school often last far past graduation.

The Homecoming dance and coronation have always been highly anticipated events. The annual bonfire has been discontinued, but the pep rally, football game and dance are still popular. Live bands played the music for dance-goers until 1986; since ~~JA,,_f ckey has been responsible for supplying th J f u"tds1,t f H1~fvening. The nomination and coronation process were revised in 1982.

Although many changes have occurred, proud traditions and strong programs have remained MeJ ~c fflt n ~ ool 's inaugural year th ~ drama department produced the first play, " The Night of January Sixteenth, " in the same auditorium, on the same stage as this year's production, "Stefanie Hero." Memories of gold linger in the minds of Knights , both past and present.

La Vida Local!

Three months, eleven weeks, seventy-seven days. How did you spend your 1,848 hours? It seems like a lot of time, but with students ' busy lives it goes by fast. Besides trips across the country and abroad, many students spent their time in Lincoln.

Many Southeast students participated in summer league soccer. Junior Cathy Petersen recalled playing their first game against Wesleyan. Her team was shocked when they beat the college team. " It's the greatest feeling when it is 99 degrees out and you are down by five players and you ' re still able to win, " Petersen recalled. Other students spent time at parks and lakes , such as Pawnee , Branched Oak , Holmes Lake and Pioneers Park. They enjoyed sports like water skiing, tubing, volleyball and swimming. Many students also enjoyed camping and telling stories around the campfire. Senior Grace Knuth went on her first camping trip on her seventeenth birthday. "It took us at least three hours to put up the tent and in that time we got blistering sunburns," Grace said.

Some students took advantage of the Ice Box and enjoyed open skate nights. Junior Angie Johnson visited the Ice Box for the first time this summer and was surprised when she did not fall once. "I gained a new respect for the hockey players because my

experience made me realize how difficult it is to stay on your feet. "

While most students enjoyed sleeping in during the summer, many dedicated athletes rose with the sun and went out to run. It was not an uncommon sight to see the weight room full of athletes spending time conditioning for fall sports. Many sports camps were held during the summer to help the players improve their skills. Senior Zach Mahoney attended the football camp. " We lifted weights every day and did many agility drills to brush up on our skills ," he said.

Many students participated in the Cornhusker State Games. Senior Stephanie Mahlin helped out at the games showing dressage horses. " It was a long day because I got stuck opening and shutting the gate from eight until five, " said Mahlin. Senior Liz Shubert and sophomore Kim Shubert also participated in the games. Liz ran the 1500, the 400 hurdles and the open 800. Kim ran the open 800 the 100 and 200 hurdles and competed in the triple jump. Both received medals in most of the events they participated in.

110,880 minutes of experiences and memories, moments shared, and those passe d by. Many of us will remember how we spen t our 6,652,800 seconds of summer.

Summer is a time for lounging around, sipping cold drinks, being lazy, going on exotic summer vacations, and just being carefree and doing what you want to do. Some students chose to spend their summer days in very different ways.

Although men dominate the workforce of construction, senior Kristi Lemke took on the challenge and spent the summer on the job. "I worked for 35 hours a week this summer framing for my dad. We built a complete apartment pl us started a house in the two months I was there. I was the only girl around and now when guys talk 'construction' I know what they're talking about," Lemke stated.

A big, green frog suit was junior Brian Kosier's uniform for his summer job. "I was the mascot for the Froggy 98 radio station," Kosier said. Although the costume was really hot, the job did have its perks. "It was fun because people thought I was really cute in the big frog costume. Most people waved and honked at me from their cars," he added. Some students traveled abroad to find jobs for the summer. Senior Jake Connors ventured to Colorado in search of the perfect mountain man job. He found it in Fort Collins, Colorado where

he became a professional rock-climbing instructor. "I lived in a camp where I worked and earned a salary, plus free room and board." Connor's rockclimbing job proved to be a very gratifying experience for him. "I liked getting paid for doing what I love. The 70% discounted climbing gear, and the freedom of living away from home in the mountains was also great."

Senior Christina Southwick, travelled to Connecticut in pursuit of a summer job. "I worked at a camp called Deer Lake, where I was a counselor. We took kids on nature hikes, boating on the lake, and did arts and crafts. I really liked working with the kids, but I only got paid $4.20 an hour!"

Other students found employment right here in Lincoln. Junior Doug Graham found a job at the new Super Saver. Senior Kristin Sneller worked at Banana Republic at South Pointe. "I like working at Banana because I work with awesome people in a fun atmosphere, and I love the clothes!"

The next time you find yourself sprawled out on a lawnchair basking in the sun remember these Southeast students who made their summers rich with memories and money. So go out and get a job this summer!

of Spirit

Ok , face it. We have been awarded All- kids come to school dressed in hilarious outfit ; Sports Champions every year since 1992. Thirtyfive percent of the senior class is in National Honor Society. Together we have built an entire house, and plan on creating and building a playground. However, it doesn 't stop there. That's just a sample of what Southeast can do as a school. On top of that there are food drives and fundraisers of every sort each year. Southeast is a prime example of a school with plenty of school spirit. So what do the experts think school spirit is? Senior Alex Mizerski thinks of school spirit as "Doing whatever possible to support the school, be it athletics, academics, clubs, or just coming to school everyday and actively participating. "

School spirit is all too often stereotyped as being athletics related. Southeast students find school spirit in other areas too. Senior Jeff Orosco made the point when he said, "It doesn 't always have to be T-shirts and stickers, it can be just talking about your school and showing that you are proud of it." ·

Southeast students show school spirit in good attendance, participating in pep rallies, and attending school dances. Every year hundreds of

Students at Southeast proved they know how to show true school spirit at this year '. ; quarterfinal playoff game.

Southeast was down in points th (: whole game, but never in spirit. Senior Am ~ , Benson described the game: "The Millard We s: game was the best game of the year to be at. The fans never gave up and kept cheering unt I · the end. " Southeast football fans have becom < : accustomed to watching their team win, but th < : students this year showed what true school spiri: was by supporting their team to the end , no matter how it ended.

School spirit is brought into the clas s · room, not just on the field. Southeast's 50 som ,: clubs demonstrate this. No matter what you· pleasure , you'll find a group with enthusiasti : members. These students go beyond the ' ca I of duty ' to share their black and gold traditio 1 of spirit. You can see evidence of our determ ination throughout the community. Whether it'; at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, with loec I elementary students, or on our own schoc I grounds, you ' ll find our tradition of spirit.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Welcome to the greatest show on earth! Welcome to " 'A Knight Under the Big Top! "'

The night of homecoming began at Seacrest Field with a 42- 20 victory over Lincoln High.

Immediately following the game, the dance, " A Knight Under the Big Top," began. Strands of lights strung from the ceiling created the image of a circus tent. Decorations also included a giant box of popcorn and a showing of the Disney movie " Dumbo the Elephant."

In previous years royalty runners-up were chosen. It was decided this year a royal court would be chosen instead of runners - up.

" They chose a royal court instead of runners-up because they are usually so close in votes that there ' s no clear distinction, " Student Council member Nadia Dahab explained.

At the game, homecoming nominees paraded onto the field to be recognized in front of family, friends, and fans. Senior Kristi Lemke, a candidate as well as Wally McKnight for the game, proceeded onto the field in the Wally suit. · "I think it was a first in the history of LSE ," Lemke said.

" I went to dinner with my date at 4:3) because I had to be at the stadium by 6:30 " junior Jamie Kimberly , member of the Shirettc s said. "We only had time for Arby ' s. "

Most students would love to separat game night from the night of the dance, b t t for the time being they make the best of it.

" It' s always interesting to see how aft< r the game everyone just throws themselv <s together and tries to get ready for the danc : as quickly as they can. I was getting ready at a friend ' s house with five other girls. What cou i J be more interesting than six girls trying tog<t ready in one bathroom in less than half a 1 hour? " junior Anna Pressler said.

With an amazing victory and excitin dance, Homecoming '99 was truly th: " Greatest Show on Earth. "

Being a Knight has special meaning to each person related to Southeast. Everything within a school makes it uniqw :, and adds to the future success of those who attend and teach there. Traditions, events, and symbols make a school special, bL:t it is the people who are the foundation of the qualities of the school which develop its identity.

The student body of Southeast compiles an array of personalities and interests to form a spectrum of attitudes. Th s contributes to the diversity of the school adding to the education and experi f hile in high school students a r leaders, they represent themselves ·and the school through the activities in whic they participate. There are class president ,, executive board members of clubs, academic award winners , captains of sports teams, and employees of the month .

The obvious leaders are not always the ones who make the biggest impact in the lives of others. The most important person may ffn'-9m /1> partner in chemistry, the person who sits next to yo tf iYf' social studies, or the person who shares your locker. They are the ones who offer a shoulder to lean on and help you through the stresses of high school. By interacting with this amazing group , students are able to discover their abilities and pursue their dreams. A remarkable number of graduates return to their own alma mater as teacher to help continue the tradition of supporting the achievements and education of a special group of students.

Southeast students go on to become role models for others as their own classmates and teachers were for them. There are several students who's parents graduated as Knig~ts, a ri d p.ecause of thei Ye~~J(,~~QJ1 and achievements they encourage their children to become proud Knights. They help continue the positive reputation Southeast has upheld since the beginning, and imprint golden images of each class into the mind of the community.

Above, Sue Olson and Liz Potter help Beth Cuva chose from her many Senior pictures proofs in 1981 The people of Southeast have continued to be involved .in school activities and the lives of their friends. In the summer of 1999, junior Kyle Hurlbut, sophomore Kiley Fisher, juniors Michelle Dodd, Kadi Klein, Melissa K~etchka and Alex Rains attended the Nebraska Association of Student Councils workshop together. The group stayed in dorms at Wayne State and enjoyed leadership and team building workshops.

Since we entered i(indergarten in ,1987, this year's senior class has been dee med th e Class of 2000 and our graauation has been an.xiously awaited. As t liis year draws to a close and commenc~ment c'reeps up before us, we are constantlt reminded thereof.

Many seniors hold mixed opinions on the way that graduation will carry on in June. Liz Hathaway, however, doesn't foresee any extreme change. "I really · don't tnink it's a big deal," she commented! "Senior year is just as stressful as ever,-ana I don't anticipateanything ~o be -different." .

Andris Augstti'ms holds similar sentiments. "Our gradl!lation will be watch ed by a lot of people, for the simple fact that being the , Class of 2000 " sounds ~ool," he said. "They're all going to forget about it next year though, wlien th~ Class of 2001 comes atong. " ,

Contrary1 o this indifference pn the millenium graduat \on, many South,~ east seniors see the future of our graduating s eniors to be much different than - years before~-"1 fr eally didn't hit me until this year," said Chabria Dorsey. "We will befooked,at afteJ graduation as the future. We will be the ' pacesetters' of the coming years, and there will be a lot more teary good-byes than usual. "

Nevertheless how evertne senior class this year shou ld commence , eac h ·student wlll be looked up to as examples for those to come. Congratulations to our Class o f 2000 .'

From bouncy, wide-eyed, curious preschoolers to independent and accomplished seniors, this year's graduating class has experienced its share of changes. With new doors being opened and others shutting forever, the road traveled from preschool until this year has been a long one for them. For some seniors its been a little easier with the help of familiar faces.

In 1986, preschoolers Katie Keister, Chris Borman , Matt Nolde, Robb Gettman, Angie Wilson, f.3radley Dirksen, Amy Campbell, Nadia Dahab,Jeff Kiple ,,. Elise Woita and Barb Kullbom met each day at Children's World Pre-school to play in the sand box, put oh musicals for their parents and once even to enjoy a slumber party. These same preschoolers are again together, only now in the busy setting of " high school. ·

· Though many years have passed since the days of building .,. blocks and playgrounds, some ·friendships have remained strong. " I may not have maintained that friendship with them but I know I could still talk to thesn like I used to," Chris Borman said.

"Yeah, those were the days, " Jeff Kiple said regarding his preschool career. " It meant the closing of one of the first chapters in my life. " As this chapter closes with high school, seniors will reflect on the growth they have undergone Bradley Dirsken said, " I still have fond memories of preschool and from these times we have grown ., and matured into adults."

Coming to America

For many years Southeast has been the host to a wide variety of students from all over the world. This year Southeast welcomed nine students from Italy, Australia , Germany, Sweden and Brazil. The students got to experience things they never would be able to do in their home country: driving on the "wrong" side of the road, meeting new people and being able to learn to speak English.

These students faced many challenges when they came to the United States. "Being able to understand the people here is a challenge, " Rafael Franca said. " They react differently in certain situations that I would."

Living conditions are different in other countries as well. " In Italy, we usually live in apartments , rather than in houses, " Allegra Lucarelli said. " We don 't have as many fast food places; we spend more time at home as a family. "

One thing the foreign exchange students noticed was how different the modes of transportation were. " In Germany there are buses and subways that run every six to eight minutes and will take you wherever you want to go," Melanie Costalas said.

"Everyone here drives their own car, but in Sweden most families only have one car, and people my age ride bikes, " Karin lngelsson said.

There are also many good things that can come out of being a foreign exchange student. " The best thing about being a foreign exchange student is how kind Americans treat foreigners," Joy Rutherford said. "Everyone has been very nice and I have not stopped smiling. "

Cool Crafts, Warm Campfires

Singing around campfires, roasting marshmallows, and making crafts were all part of the summer camp experience Students who attended camp carried with them the memories that they created at camps such as Camp Kitaki and Summer Playground when they were younge r

"We made wood name tags , had skits, did archery, had campfires, and went hiking on trails ," Carrie Neukirch said

" I played box hockey , red light/green light , war ball , hot shot , and had water balloon fights ," Cody Christline said.

Everyone who went to camp had at least one favorite memory that they will always remember with a laugh.

"At night we wou ld all hang out and have a good time joking around ," Neukirch said.

"The best experience at camp was the water attacks on the Bright Lights nerds at Zeman, " Christline said.

" I liked when we ate marshmallows and say by the fire the most, " Megan Hoffman said.

"

My most memorable experience was when I got a black eye at camp and had to stand up so everyone at camp could sing happy birthday to me ," Jamie Buller said .

Camp life was enjoyed by all who took part in it. These experiences have stayed with them since they were kids and will stay with them into adulthood

Keeping the Faith

Combining faith and travel has proved to be a satisfying expierence for some students. "The Dawn ... An Epiphany," was a national New Year's Eve millennium celebration held in Indianapolis, Indiana by the Presbyterian Church. Sara Tuckerman was one of the 30 individuals who represented churches all over Nebraska. "It reassured me to see 2,000 other young adults gathered at this event; it is something that I will never forget," Tuckerman said. Maggie Stuckey also attended this New Year's gala. "I am closer to my church friends since we now have a life-long connection that will keep our friendship strong no matter what happens," Stuckey commented.

Mission trips that let youth help communities in poverty provided other opportunities. Emily Edmonds went on a non-denominational trip to Ensanda, Mexico. While on the trip, she learned how to be her natural self. Edmonds was not allowed to wear make-up or curl her hair the entire trip. "I've learned I don't need all the extras of life," Edmonds added. "The tripwas an awesome way to actually serve rather than just learning how to serve."

Teens Encounter Christ, or TEC, is another non-denominational event that is held quarterly in Lincoln. It focuses on growing in faith and improving friendships. Andrew Stordahl has attended the event several times. "I have gone back because I was deeply moved by what happened and felt called to do the same for others," Stordahl said. This gathering forever changed Justin Van Wart. "I've seen prayers answered and have more blessings than I know what to do with," Van Wart refiected.

Saving Lives, Changing Diapers

Many juniors at Southeast are involved in various ways with children. A good way to prepare yourself to work with kids is to take a class offered by the Red Cross A variety of classes are offered, like First Aid, Sports Saftey, and swimming classes, to students and adults. The most popular classes taken by students are CPR training and the baby -sitting class.

"I n the baby-sitting class, I learned how to take care of kids, help keep them safe, how to keep them happy and have fun with them," Alison Kortefay said.

"Mainly, I took the class because of my job in the junior gym at the Racquet Club, but I also baby-sit a lot, and it helped me to learn the right way to change diapers, hold babies, and to bottle feed children," Karrie Harm said.

Another class offered by the Red Cross is a CPR training class. In this class, participants learn how to do the Heimlich maneuver, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and other lifesaving techniques. ·

"I took the class because it can save lives and, although I don't really use these skills now, if there was an emergency I would be prepared to help," Cathy Petersen said.

The classes are very important and offer useful information for everyday use. " Everyone should take a class like this, it's fun and you learn a lot of stuff too," Kortefay said.

Exciting Hobbies Shape Futures

Many students have hobbies that keep them busy, but not too many can say that their hobbies are their jobs. The fact that these hobbies are profitable makes it even better.

Kendra Paulsen started making jewelery with her mom when she was ten. "My mom taught me all'of the basics, and ever since then, I have created my own signature pieces that distinguish me from other jewelers," Paulsen said.

Paulsen has completed over 250 projects and has won over ten awards for her work, which she believes will help her in the future. "Working with metal allows me to become more aware of the capabilities in the career I want to pursue," she added.

Andy Walker has been bowling for 12 years, and has been on the Southeast bowling team for two years. He sees high school bowling as an opportunity to meet people. "At our tournaments, there are over 20 teams with at least six guys on them. You make a lot of friends," he commented.

Other things Walker likes about competing are the excitement and scholarship opportunities. "As of right now, I have received around $1500, which makes me happy because I don't have to play football, basketball or baseball and can still get a full ride to college."

Doing something out of the norm, helps students shape their future and make them who they are.

Fun Night: Where It's At

When we remember back to eleme ntary school , we often th ink of stonewashed jeans with the ankles rolled , four -square games on the playground , and dressing up on Wacky Wednesday. Many students remember " Fun Night " as the best day of the school year It was a virtual ' kid pa radise .' There were games to play , good food to eat , and cool prizes to win.

Tyler Sorensen said , " I remember at one of the booths I t ri ed throwing a dart at the balloon with my eyes closed and I ended up hitting some guy in the leg."

Students enjoyed Fun Nights so much that many times they cont i nued to attend throughout middle school. They still get a thr i ll from going now .'

" I usually go back (to Fun Night) with my sister who goes to Sheridan ," Sorensen commented.

Another activity students remembered from elementary school was the Book -It program. This program used Pizza Hut p izza and good old-fashioned competition as an incentive to encourage student to read. Each student would get rewarded with a personal pan pizza for reading a certain amount of books. Each class competed to see who could read the most books

" All I remember about Book -it is that we got Pizza Hut pizza for so many books, " Andrew Singsaas said " It was great! "

So whenever you ' re getting stressed out from the term papers , exams and projects of high school , just break out the finger paint and remember the by -gone days of elementary school when your b iggest worry was who to chase at recess

Music of the Heart

Music touches and inspires many people. For some, music can provide a release from life ' s frustrations; it can produce life-altering realizations, and it can also lead to various musical professions. Music especially infiuences the lives of Becky Lu and Benjamin Marker.

Becky Lu has played the piano for fourteen years. "My parents started me on the piano because they thought it would be good for me ," she explained. Lu's piano playing developed into a passion. Throughout her many years of playing, she has accumulated many honors such as winning the MTNAJunior High Piano Competition and the MTNA Yamaha High School Piano Competiton. " I love performing in beautiful concert halls in front of an appreciative audience, " she said. " I learned to socialize with near strangers early in life. As a musician, you not only have to have talent and perseverance, but get along with the managers, other musicians, and audience members as well."

Benjamin Marker is the vocalist and rhythm guitar player for his band called The Action Packed Underwater Adventure Squad In Space. "I like seeing the audience react positively to the music, " Marker said , "I write music to have fun." Marker values his band and his music immensely. Marker said, "Everybody wants to be a rock star, it's a dream come true to experience the things that they do. Rock and Roll Forever Baby! "

Remembering Youth Sports

From t-ba ll, to spirit basketball , to midget football , youth sports is a big part of the lives of Lincol n' s youth . Nearly the enti re student body at Southeast played some sort of organz ied youth sport before arriving at Southeast. Youth sports provide a chance for kids to be active , have fun , and stay out of trouble. ·

Barrett Ruud has been playing organ ized youth sports since third grade. " I used to watch older friends of mine play (high school sports) and I would imagine myself playing in a couple years. " Today , getting recognized for an All Star Basketball team , being named All -State , and winning two state football champ ionships are among Ruud ' s accompl ishments.

Erin Ash has been playing basketball for ten years and today , it is still her favorite sport. She remembers dreaming of playing varsity basketball as a freshman and that dream come true two years ago. Ash is now anxious to see what will come of the rest of her high school career.

After years of experiencing youth sports , students are thankful for everything that has come from it. Ash recalls that , " All the different types of coaching I' ve had throughout all the sports , has enabled me to adapt to any situation. "

·What do you think is the most significant event of the past millennium?

From Columbus' discovery of a New World to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the second millennium was marked by numerous events that will remain important in history books and in the minds of those who were there. Which event of the past millenium is most important to you?

"I would have to say the most important event is the ·American Revolution. If we had not gained freedom from England, the United States as it is today, and the world as a whole, would suffer. We'd be driving on the left side of the road or something."

-Christopher Whitney

"Desegregation, because it was a huge step toward reaching the goal of ethnic equality."

-Angela Nierman

"Landing on the moon because it .opened lost frontiers in space exploration."

-Jared Bottcher

-Kelly Wood

"The release of Will Smith's new album Willenium. This album is a revolutionary step in hip-hop, showing that this music can be creative and innovative, not just angry voices speaking of violence."

-Cole Vanicek

"New Year's Eve in 2000 because everyone looked back to see how the world had changed;"

-Sophia Nathenson

"The invention of the NFL because it's a good . American past-time involving a variety of people."

Who was the most important person of the · past millenium?

From inventors, politicians, and philosophers, to musicians, artists, and athletes, the past millenium has been filled with infiuential people. These people have touched hearts with their artistic abilities, expanded the fields of science and mathematics, and changed the world forever. With so many infiuential people to chose from, who would you pick?

"Elvis Presley, because he started rock and roll and inspired people to be themselves and have fun doing it."

-Sarah Schnakenberg

"Leonardo DaVinci, because he imagined and created things beyond our wildest dreams such as the idea of the 'fiying machine.' His quote lived through the past, as it still does today: 'For once you have tasted fiight, you shall walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return."'

-Scott Hoelscher

"Common man, becuase he has done more for mankind than anyone else. "

-Theresa

Starr

-Christy Price

"I have no clue! Maybe a famous inventor ... or Piglet from Winnie the Pooh."

-Barbara

Bal I

"To me, the most important person of the last millennium is not one person, but many, such as the people who set out to colonize America. If they didn't take the chance and suffer greatly on the way, the United States might not exist."

-Steve

Welch

"Mother Theresa, because she inspired the world to strive for compassion and love towards all mankind."

What invention has influenced your life?

There are many inventions in the last millenium that have infiuenced our lives, saved us time, money, and work. What would we do without the invention of the washing machine, the telephone, the computer, or the microwave? Often times we forget what things must have been like without the inventions we have today. So, what invention has influenced your life the most?

"I think all of the inventions that we use today are the most important. How can you honestly separate them when some of them were derived from others?"

-Michael Frakes

"Port-a-potties, because you can take one just about everywhere and use the restroom in privacy."

-Brian Knippelmeyer

-Andrea Littrell

What myths about high school did you hear before attending Southeast?

Not only do sophomores have to worry about the common first day jitters, they also have to deal with the myths that have been compiled over the years. From swirlies to bullies, the incoming classes have feared them all. These myths have been passed on from year to year and now, are refiected by the class of 2002.

-Jennifer Hobbs

"I heard it was a really preppy school and the teachers " I heard that you should keep your eyes on the fioor were very nice. The teachers were nice, but the school is when you walk down the hallways." not as preppy as I thought it would be."

-Valerie Zoz

"That teachers in high school are a lot harder and the classes are much tougher; school is not that much harder than ninth grade."

-Ryan Furry

"I heard that high school kids beat up the sophomores."

-Jon M.

-Jase Jackson

"All of the teachers are seven feet tall and they beat up kids who don't do their homework. If you are late to school they make you sit outside in the cold all day."

If you could have lunch with anyone who would it be? Would you pick someone famous or would you pick someone you knew personally? Would you pick someone that has impacted society or an entertainer? How do you pick just one person? Many of us have dreamed about being able to eat lunch with someone famous or with a current crush, but what would we do if the dream could really come true?

r;iii.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Adam Wiley accomplished more in seventeen years than many of us will accomplish in our whole lives. Adam was in the top three percent of his class -; he also actively participated in Southeast's student council and was on the yearbook staff during his sophomore year. More importantly, Adam had a kind heart and took special interest in others' lives. We will always remember Adam ' s quick wit and ability to make the most insignificant moment special.

Southeast was established for the purpose of high academic achievement. Upon entering the school every stud , :n1 quickly realizes that Southeast is a quality institution that stresses the importance of gaining the best education possible The ground work for the foundation of these beliefs was set as the first student body passed through the doors d our school forty-five years ago. Supportive homes and families have continued to instill the value of education in d ei r children, allowing the school to keep its focus on academics.

When a school starts with such high expec Viitf r ~ tis only natural for those ideas to transcend through the follow ng generations. The students continue to thrive be d 1.Us! o~ the backbone of teachers who have remained at Southeast fo r several years.

The recognition that Knights have always received l • ..,. reflects the strength of the material and encouragement from everyone within the school. The academic wall of honor started as a Studen f= ou.£T c1,J, oroj ect in 1989 to recognize Southeast studeW hoDaLJihO a: Qfgrade point average or above during their entire high school career. Since then 239 students have been added to the wall with the largest addition of 72 students made last year. Approximately the same , number of people from this year's class were recognized, continuing this tradition. Our history also reflects this high achievement. In 1966 a record number of 12 seniors were recognized as National Merit Semi-Finalists and in 1962, 80% of the graduating class planned to attend college. Though this tradition of excellence has remained a proud cornerstone of Southeast, c __ haJ ges have taken Fc,Q UM- order to improve the quality of education.

Technology adds to knowledge ... Pictured above, in a construction class in 1976 a student sands part of his structure Architecture design and construction courses have remained popular at Southeast for several years. This year Industrial Technology students benefited from a remodeled wing and new equipment. Pictured at left, juniors Dan Schellhorn and Cameron Loos assemble a blanket chest in Furniture Construction. Though the basic principles of construction have remained unchanged, today's students u se more advanced tools and computer programs in designing and constructing. These instruments ensure accuracy and make the overall process more expedient.

Southeast .is the only high school in Lincoln offering classes in Latin : Latin classes are compacted, a course structure that teaches a two-year class in one year. In addition there are compacted classes in German, French, and Spanish.

"Compact~d classes are great because the students are more motivated to do the work," junior French 3-4 student Anna Pressio1i said. "It's like taking a differentiated class."

"The difficult thing about teaching foreign language is dealing with the frustration of students who didn't learn the basics very well," French teacher Bonnie Quinn commented

.

·Teachers igi plemented new cultl al activities to give students a break from lectures and notetaking.

"We had a Roman banquet after learning about Roman food and traditions," Latin teacher Shirley Roeber said.

"The French 5 students taught mini lessons to the Exploratory classes at Irving Middle School," French teacher Kathie tJhrmacher'stated. "The students had a chance to practice outside of class."

"In German 3 we did a unit on Berlin," junior Amy Svatora said. "Different people did reports or made monuments and we put a Berlin Wall of paper across the room."

The German classes also celebrated Oktoberfest. Festivities include9 food, dancing and singing. New teaching methods and a wider variety of classes gave Southeast students more opportunities to learn about cultures and traditions other than their own.

\/ooal GrQ(JfJ.? Show ' De;vation to Sin0in0

It's nothing new that Lincoln' Southeast has an excellent vocal music ,department, and thus has excellent vocal music groups. ~ot ~nly do the students ip these groups have grea~ voi<;es {qf co4r5e they do}, but they also tiave a strong devotion to their singing, their directors, and to each other. ·

"Tile str-0Agtradition of great vocal music groups at t.SE.was.som<:tbing I always wanted to be a part of, , said seni or Alli.son lethet>yt whom sings in both Countesses and ~oblemen andCou~ Cnoir, "the relationships with the other * eB<tiP m~mbecs. is a great exp~rience."

The dev~~on that these students have to their sing-: t itJg ir unparatleled. S~nior Noblemanjeff Oro,sco said, ~My favorite thing about singing is having people hear you and knowing that they really appreciate you."

"It puts a song in my heart and keeps me going. Music in general is an extremely powerful thing when it is expressed perfecdy," said Bel €anto and Court Choir member Steve Mason, "it's like you can feel and live the composer's emotions through their music."

The LSE vocalists of course wouldn't be city-renowned without performing in var:1ious places aroumil Lin-

coin. Countesses ana Noblemen, Chamber Choir, and Court Choir sang at the NBC building, Holiday Inn, The Villager, Madonna Rehabilitation Center, The Knolls, and Lincoln Country Club. Bel Canto has also sung at Madonna and NBC, as well as the Lincoln Dialysis Center, Eastmont Tewers, various elemetary schools, and the annual

Renaissance Festival in Kansas City, Missouri.

The '99-'00 school year 0.nce again showed that Southeast is one of the most acknowledged schools in the area, mostly because of the devotion that Southeast has to the community. A very large am out of this ·recognition is thanks to the L:SE:Vocai Music Department.

Jazzin' It Up...

Duke Ellington.-John Coltrane Louis Armstrong ~Charlie Parker...the talented ~tudents of the Southeast jazz program are always imitating the works of legendary jazz musicians. They spend hours preparing for competitions, critiquing other music, and practicing their own renditions.

Senior Chris Steinke, who has been playing the saxophone for seven years, is a member of Southeast's Jazz One, the . only select jazz band in the instrumental music program.

"Often Dazz One] gets to attend performances at festivals and hear and work with jazz professionals," Steinke said. This year, Jazz One rehearsed the music of jazz musician .. Duke Ellington, in preparation for the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition in New York City. They also got the chance to perform locally at Southeast and Irving and Lefter Middle Schools.

Southeast's other select instrumental groups have also been very diligent in preparing for performances and competitions.,Sophomore Dave Leung is a member of both Jazz One and Wind Ensemble.

"The music [we] play is sometimes of high calibre, and therefore a challenge," Leung said. Steinke also recognizes the challenge of the ~~lections in the music program.

"Mr. Krueger, the director, is very knowledgable about jazz and selects serious and eclectic charts," Steinke commented. The instrumental talents of Southeast's devoted musicians brought culture and art to the diverse Southeast student body.

Jazz Band . They Got the Beat

During first and second periods of the first quarter, it was not uncommon to hear tunes from the marching band. The musicians, along with the color guard, performed at halftime shows, pep rallies, the Star City Parade, and competitions. The color guard provided the visual aspect that ac-

companied the upbeat tunes of the band .

"It was hard to concentrate at practices because we were all tired, but it all paid off at our shows and competitions, " junior Rachel Pejsar commented. The marching Knights' practicing did pay off; they received superior ratings at the three competitions they participated in.

The basketball band provided tunes at the varsity games. They entertained the crowds before and after the games, and during the half-time festivities. "I had a lot of fun playing , and made new friends,'" sophomore Alicia Dunkle said.

Another entertaining group was the jazz band. They played various types of jazz and many improvisational pieces. This group performed in concerts at schools and competitions. "I feel like I am creating something when I play my own thing instead of something that is already written," senior Derek Babb said.

These musicians dedicated a lot of time to practicing and performing. LSE's bands also played in Florida at a competition in Disneyland over spring break. The group played well and h~d a lot offun. Senior Alyssa Johnson summed it up best" All of the friends and fun you experience made it all worth while."

Of all the recorded centuries in human history, the twentieth is sa id to have been the century in which hum a 1 potential was tested to extremes. The last one hundred years have shown more than any other just how benevolent c malevolent the human race can be.

In the last hundred years , we have acquired the ability to talk to another person almost anywhere on earth We ca 1 travel from one place to another in a mere fracti 9 n . £wh at it used to take. We can send mail to someone in the blink of a 1 eye, and at the same time access endles p '-1) 1 • ,~11 r t i 0 rmation. We can even leave our own planet. As the twentie t 1 century draws to a close, the possibilities seem endless.

On the other hand, one might argue that the twentieth century was the period of time in which the human race has shown the most potential to destroy itself. The two World Wars, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cuban Missile crisis, and the further development of nuclear and chemical weapons are all evidence of that. Some say that despite all the technological advan 1es of the last century, people now feel lonelier tha · , )t :U - before. All it really comes down to is personal perspective.

So what can the human race expect for the twentyfirst century? A mission to Mars is planned for 2018. On the other hand, some politicians and other experts predict that the whole spa ff.ev°~ a 'wl yr_' rubbed. The research and development of gene I( engineering will undoubtedly continue despite skeptics who say that it will eventually lead to the genetic "programming' of the human race; thus the loss of free will. Computer technology has far exceeded the expectations of its creators some 50 years ago. Without a doubt it will continue to do so, even to the point where it truly amazes us.

The following pages will provide the reader a look back at last year as well as at some of the most memorable events of the twentieth century.

-Matt Anderson

1945- World War 11 , JY far the most devasta t 1g war in human hist t y, left an estimated 60 ii ilion soldiers and civil i ns dead. The war be e :.m in 1939 with the C :: rman invasion of Pol a id, and ended in 1945 " 1th the surrender of J2 Janese to the Allied fo r :: s. lwo Jima (sh o v n above) was on e of bloodiest battles of he war, but it gave w a to airstrikes against Jc Janese strongnolds.

1969-Neil Armstr c ng and Buzz Aldrin be ec ne the first humans to v alk on the moon The le= 1ding of the " Eagle" s m bolized the pea k of space exploration in :he twentieth century , nd was considered a :ey victory for the U.S. in :he Cold War with the Soviet Union

1964- The Beatles (Paul McCartn ey, John Lennon , George Harrison , and Ringo Starr) were possibly the most popular music group of the twentieth century, with hits including " I Want to Hold Your Hand ", "Eight Days a Week ", and "She Loves You ". The group is seen here making a guest apparence on The Ed Sullivan Show.

1989- After 27 years of division, German citizens, realizing that th e East German regime w as about to collapse , began demolishing whole sections of the Berlin Wall Citizens of both sides gathered in a huge week-long cele bration The next year East and West Germany reunified, making the nation prosperous once again.

January 1, 2000 12 :00 a m - The year 2000 arrives in Paris, along with one of the largest firework displays ever to take place The start of what some people are calling a new era in human civilization was welcomed with internationally televised parties in every time zone and very few computer bugs.

The Year of the Paranoid

Well, we did it.

The human race managed to shake off the predicted (and highly publicized) Y2 K computer bugs, water shortages , and apocalypses ofJanuary 1, 2000 The eve of the new year was far more a global celebration than a global disaster, with literally millions of special events worldwide. In fact , the worst recorded problem to date (in the U.S., at least) was a supposedly 100 year overdue movie at a Blockbuster video store in Albany , New York.

Pretty pathetic bug

But before we look forward to a new millennium , the 1999-2000 Shield staff would like to provide a look back at some of the pivotal events of the last year. '

The conflict in Kosovo ended in early June when Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic withdrew his troops from the war-torn province , which also lead to the end of NATO airstrikes of Belgrade and other Yugoslavian cities

An earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale hit Turkey on August 17, leaving more than 17 ,000 dead and several thousand more injured Disaster -aid groups from the U.S. as well as the rest of the world were sent to help out in relief efforts.

by Matt Anderson

The country lost another Kennedy on July 16 John F. Kennedy , Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette died when a jet piloted by Kennedy plunged into the sea near Martha ' s Vineyard , Massachusetts. The losses of sports legends Joe DiMaggio, Wilt Chamberlin, and Walter Payton were also mourned , as were acclaimed film director Stanley Kubrick , and children ' s' poet Shel Silverstein.

The end of1999 and the beginning of2000 has been something that most of the human race has looked forward to for well, a millennia. It will undoubtedly be remembered as a time of global celebration as well as a time of global paranoia.

Wilt Chamberlain 1936-1999

Considered by some as the best basketball player ever, Chamberlain died on October 12, 1999 of an apparent heart attack. Chamberlain holds the NBA records for most points scored in one game (100), points per game average (50.4), and is second on the career scoring list.

Lincoln, Seventysixth largest city in the U.S.

by Matt Anderson

The city of Lincoln is often an underestimated one. Those people who see it as a boring, small town between Omaha and. Denver should know that as of 1998 Lincoln was actually the 76 th largest city in the nation (based on urban population). That may not seem very impressive, but consider this- Lincoln has more people in it than the cities of Orlando, Hartford, Salt Lake City, or Des Moines. Based on current projections, Lincoln will have a population of over a quarter of a million by the year 2020. So much for being "small. " As for being boring, it should be noted that Lincoln has a very low crime rate and is ranked yearafter-year as one of the best metropolitan cities to raise a family.

With an increase in population, one can only expect that the commercial areas of Lincoln will expand as well. One of the more notable developments in Lincoln currently is the area around 2Jth and Pine Lake Road known as Southpointe Pavillions. The outdoor mall provides the Lincoln youth with some of the more popular clothing stores that until now were only as close as Omaha- the Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Abercrombie and Fitch. In April of 2000, Scheel's opened, thus becoming the largest sporting goods store in Nebraska. Lincoln has always been well-known for its friendly people and its low crime rate. With the recent additions of nationallyreknowned businesses to the area, Lincoln has become an even better place to live.

A constant domination in sports has propelled Southeast to a tradition of athletic excellence. Southeast prou c y displays its success through the trophies, plaques and banners that decorate the school. Knights have not always dominat ( d the scoreboards, but the presence and support of their coaches , teammates, families and school have ingrained a dee p ~ r importance into the program.

The Knights first proved gold i 1 - 9S enesvi [ baseball teams clinched their respective s a e t i es. e swimming team continued its reign for the next six years. The girls ' won theirfirsttitle in 1973. Southeast has now compiled more than 100 state titles .

Girls ' sports slowly evolved from only intramurals to include mainstream athletics in 1970. As female athletics gained support, participation decreased in the boys ' program. Many athletes joined intramurals due to the lack of competition they entailed.

In 1984, the athletic facilities underwent dramatic changes. The Prasch Activity Center was added , giving Southeast athletes the best sports facility in t -e state. Though the improvements were welcome the constuction an , ssles it created proved challenging for the entire school. Parking was limited, the swim team and Synkraknights commuted to Northeast for practice, and classes persevered through disruptive clanking and banging due to the heavy equipment being used. Since the additon we have claimed 12 out of 16 All Sports Awards , and produced numerous championship teams and All-State athletes.

The athletic talent which has developed at Southeast is the envy of ot er schools. Oppone s ,r1vf to keep up with the Knight ' s performances, team unity, competitive spirit, and most of all, the neverending attempt to go for the gold

Intense moments are nothing new to this year's varisty softball team. They battled through more than one close game, learning not only what they were made of, but also what it takes to succeed The outcome of the game wasn't their main focus, it was the knowledge and the overall experience they gained that proved to be the most useful.

After snatching the city championship, the varisty softball team went on to grab second place at Districts this year, with a landslide victory against Northeast. The team attributes this victory to their strong defense and hard work outs at practice.

"Our defense was usually pretty solid in the field," said junior centerfielder Meredith Metcalf. "We also improved our endurance from all the running we had to do at each practice."

The team also excelled individually. Juniors Lesley Barrera and Caitlin Sebora, and freshman Dana Wertz all earned the honor of being inducted into the Athletic All-Conference Team. Two other team members, seniors Tiarra Hess and

The girls hit their biggest " highlight of the season with the September 25th and October 9th games against Papillion-La Vista, reigning state champions of four years.

"We went into extra innings against Papillion, and it was the biggest game of the season," said senior Lindsey Claussen. "Although we didn't come out winning, it was a big step from how we had been playing."

In the long run, the team this year exemplified their success through their team unity. Strengthening and encouraging each individual on the team was a main focus and concern as well as forming lasting friendships.

"Our team was really good about picking each other up,"said sophomore Abby Nortman. "Eventually, we all became friends and began to have fun on the field."

A teaching moment Coach Lessman provides the team with words of wisdom as they prepare to battle against East.

Solid records and city championships for both teams defined a season of success for the junior varsity and reserve softball teams. This was achieved by striving for team unity.

Like many other teams, JV softball players got together the night before a game for pre-game dinners. They also bonded as a · team by supporting the varsity team by going to their games. "Outside of practice we would go out for dinners, go to varsity softball games to support them, and just hang out," agreed sophomore JV player Jeanette Cooper.

The reserve softball team consisted of18 freshmen and only two sophomores. However, even with such a young team, they were successful. They capped their season with a win at the LPS Invite.

"With 20 people on the team it was hard. Iwas once ofthe two soRhomores on the team. There

were 18 freshmen. At first Ididn't know if I could get along with all the freshmen, but by the end of the season I was a team leader and had a lot of good friends," explained reserve player Lindsey Domangue. Although the teams were young, they bonded over a common goal ofwinning city and making it their best season yet. Undoubtedly these relationships have lasted after the end of the season and well on into the school year.

How many people do you know that can do the splits, a back flip in a moment's notice or complete a fulltwisting double back? To find someone with these qualities,- you need to look no'n.1rther than the gymnastics team.

"My favorite thing that happened this year was when Derric Wood got the first perfect score in school history on the parallel bars," juniorJonathan Rankin said. "It was one of the best routines that I have ever seen."

When Wood scored the first perfect ten in boys gymnastics at Southeast, he possibly scored the first in the state of Nebraska . " Scoring a · perfect ten· in gymnastics is like scoring five goals in soccer, hitting three homeruns in baseball or rushing for 300 yards in football," athletic director Larry Munksgaard said. "It' s a tremendous accomplishment."

The girls team became closer while excelling in the gym. Teammates

helped each other get pumped up a meet. Their · cheering encouragement gave the gymnasts needed energy · and focused their attention on the routine ahead.

"T earn unity helped us be more : comfortable during a meet. Then you know you have support from the others no matter what," senior Leyna Arellano said.

Many hours of work take place before a competition. The coaches plan routines to maximize their point value and the gymnast~ practice again and again. "Planning a routine takes a lot of time; effort is needed to perfect it. In order to complete any routine, you have to perform it over and over and make it consistent in workouts," sophomore Alicia Akiyama commented.

Overall, the boys and girls gymnastics teams vaulted into the season and finished with a fiourishing dismount.

"Take nothing for granted, and leave nothing to chance." This was Coach Steve Johnsen's favorite quote. These words became the motivation for the girls golf team as they worked their way toward a victory at the state tournament in Grand Island.

"Winning State was very special because Coach Johnsen is retiring, and we wanted to win it for him," senior Amy Campbell said.

The team's goal was to finish undefeated, but they unfortunatly suffered a narrow defea~ at the Spartan Invite by only four strokes.- Although this loss was upsetting, the girls were not about to let one tournament decide the final outcome.

"It took us a while to think of it as a learning experience rather than a failure," junior Erynn Herman noted.

Junior Beth Anne Cherry said, "We all worked so hard over the

summer and the entire season that we felt we were the most deserving."

Despite ·one loss, the girls finished a triumphant season by winning state. They achieved this by practicing hard, cheering for each other and being completely devoted to the team.

"Our team this year was unlike any other team because of the unity and chemistry. we·are all best friends and it showed up on the course. We put the team first and personal goals second," Campbell said.

Senior Carrie Knight said, "Coach Johnsen and all of the girls on the team were very supportive. They were always there to give advice."

" Before every tournament, we would have team huddles, send positive vibes to one another and psych each other up," Cherry stated. "We knew we had the ability to prove to everyone that we were the best."

Whether they were scoring on the court or dancing in the locker rooms before games , the g i rls varsity basketball team had the ·time of the ir lives dur i ng the blustery winter months.

Team un ity was the name of the game for the team this year "When I' m outthere I knowthatthe re are four girls bustin ' their butts out there and eight girls on the bench cheering us on ," junior Erin Ash said That un ity contributed to the team ' s success this season The team finished the season with a solid record of 16 wins and 6 losses.

After knocking off first ranked Omaha Marian in the regular season , the girls knew they had the potential to be unstoppable . " Omaha Marian was a hard team for us because they are really athletic and competitive and they were rated number one when we played them ," senior Amy Campbell recalled

The team rece i ved many accolades this season. Campbell , a team captain , was presented with the

Star City Sports Youth Athlete of the Year award. She won the award based on her i nvolvement in golf, tennis and basketball. Campbell 's favorite part of playing basketball for LSE was running out on the court as the band played at the beginning of each home game . " Ever since I was little , I have dreamed of doing this, " Campbell said. " Now I get to do it before every game. "

One of the main goals of the team th is year was to go to state. They were elim i nated before going to state last year , so it was very important for the team to focus on this during the season This year the girls secured a place in state , but were narrowly defeated in the quarterfinals by Omaha North , 47 -55.

Whether they won or lost , the team came away with fond memories. "The funniest memory I have from th is season is when junior Erin Ash dove for a ball out of bounds, and fell right into Coach Larsen ' s lap! " Campbell said

They jump, they dribble, they pass, they rebound, they score, they win. It seemed to be that simple for this year ' s JV and reserve girls basketball teams. Ending the year with a record of 11-2, the reserve squad lost only to Pius and Lincoln High, which were both away games.

" Our toughest opponent was Pius It was a JV team. They played great, " sophomore reserve player Daniela Alic said.

The JV team triumphed as well, finishing their regular season with a record of 16 -1. "One ofour team goals was to get a 'goose egg' (keep the other team from scoring during a quarter) and we had several, " sophmore JV player Jen Simeck said.

Reserve was rated number one in the city and JV won the city championship. Both teams attributed much of their success to their team unity. "The great thing

about our team is that everyone counts. You can tell at practice if even one girl is missing. Everyone is affected, " Simeck commented.

JV's motto refiected the idea of team unity: United we stand , divided we fall. " With a wide variety of grade levels we have to listen and try to understand our teammates ," Schaffer explained.

Alic saw the importance of teamwork. " When we 're out on the court during a game we just forget about the minor differences we ·have, we work together ," Alic said.

Each team was successful, both on and off the court. The teams both finished the season with winn i ng records, but they came away from the experience with more than just that. As Coach Tim Golden said , " The only thing you'll remember10 years from now is the friends you ' ve made. "

Holding On To A 5ucce55ful 5ea50rl

With head locks, half- nelsons, reversals and take-downs, Southeast's wrestling team had a solid season this year, despite tough competition from East, Northeast and Columbus. New members, like sophomore Dan Bork , had the difficult task of battling fierce teams early in their wrestling careers

"My first vars ity match this season was a duel against Columbus," Bork said. "I had to wrestle above my class and the kid pinned me in about 40 seconds. It was kind of embarassing, because I was on my back for most of the time."

But the Knights didn ' t let a few early defeats get them down. The team developed new strategies and learned from their losses.

" Our new coach wants us to warm up to a sweat this year by drill i ng and doing some live wrestling before a match," junior Topher Vorhies stated.

Another key to success is to simply enjoy competition.

" Always try hard, give 110%, and just have fun, " senior Matt Nolde said The results of one-on - one wrestling matches contribute to the outcome of the whole team's score ,

combining individual talent with team goals. Both coaches and players provide motivation and encouragement.

" I've made a lot of friends this wrestling season ," Bork shared. " The coaches give the most support. "

Senior Nick Shiffermiller said, "The coaches encourage me a lot, but for the most part it comes from my own motivation. I really try to calm down and not get nervous before matches. "

Juniors Billy Alley and Cameron Loos dominated the distict competition in their weight classes, giving them a place in the state competition. Loos, Alley and senior Justin Olson accompanied Shiffermiller to the tournament at Devaney Sports Center where Alley competed in quarterfinals.

Southeast's wrestlers spent time after school as well as Saturday mornings for practice, coaching, and working out. Their devotion helped them overcome tough competition and complete a strong season.

Seven i5 the Luckie5t ~r

Seven seemed to be the luckiest number for the boys swimming team this year. "For the first time in seven years we won all of our dual meets. We also beat our biggest rival, East, for the first time in seven years," said junior Jason Bradford.

This year the boys swimming team had innumerable strengths. "We have lots of great swimmers and lots of depth," said senior Jeff Eihusen.

"We have a lot of. good swimmers that have stepped up this year. Our senior leadership on the team is a key to our success," Bradford said.

Friendship among the team members was also a part of the · foundation of the boys swimming team. "I swim because it is a good form of exercise, it is fun, and most of all because of the people I have met. Everyone on the team is really nice and fun to be with," sophomore Kevin Masek said.

In building this friendship they share in the tradition of teams before them. "We have lots of traditions on swim team: bleaching our hair for the Millard South meet and shaving our

heads for conference and state," Eihusen said.

Masek added, "The guys team started speedo runs. This is where we run through the school in our speedos. We also have car wars where the girls and guys teams try to destroy each other's cars with food items."

Diving also shared in the excellence of the swim team this year. "We all push ourselves to learn new dives and work to make them look easy," said senior Doug Martindale. "I dive because it is entertaining to see the world spin around, and it gives immediate consequences to your actions whether they be good or bad."

In the State Meet this year the boys swimming team placed third with a total of 135 points. They also placed forth in the 200 and 400 Freestyle Relay.

This year the boys swimming and diving team excelled in all of their competitions. This excellence was achieved by their unsurpassed strengths and the power of the number seven.

Good, Clean Fun with Friends

Southeast intramurals provide students a chance to play sports with friends in a fun and easy-going way. "The game isn't about winning or losing, it is about having fun. Even though the competition was still there, people were relaxed and just enjoying the game," senior Michelle Arnold said. "Our team did very bad, but we didn't play to win," senior Lauren Adams commented. "We played to have good clean fun with friends!"

Southeast offers many different intramural sports for students to participate in such as co-ed softball, volleyball, football, golf, basketball and hockey. "I would encourage anyone to get involved. The competiton is fun and its a good feeling when you win, even though my basketball team doesn't do that very often,"senior John Vigna said.

Having a good time playing sports with friends is the essence of Southeast intramurals. "I had a lot offun playing intramurals, I don ' t think I've ever laughed so hard in my entire life," senior Michelle Arnold said.

Competing in Nationals was unanimously the most memorable experience for the Shirettes this year.

Nationals were held in Orlando , Florida, and the Shirettes performed at the Indiana Jones Theater in MGM Studios. "Our squad performed very well and placed in the top 20 ," senior Stacey Hester commented. "We didn't advance to the semi -finals, but we left the mat knowing we accomplished what we went there to do."

Before they took the long journey to Orlando, the Shirettes spent hours practicing for the competition, which helped bring them closer together as a squad "It forced us together in a sense, " junior Ranee Hall said. " We spent so much time together that we got to know one another better."

Senior Tracy Quandt definitely agreed, " We saw each other at our best and our worst. We learned to trust each other and shared a common goal."

Cheerleaders accomplish a lot more than just encouraging the crowd and players at sporting events. "We spend hours making locker signs, decorating for pep rallies, and we also act as role models at various local events," senior varsity cheerleader Katie Moses said.

Although each squad must come together and work as one, the captains of each squad: Kyle Kriz andJaci Grimes for reserve , Beth Anne Cherry for junior 11 varsity, and Moses and Angie Wilson for varsity, have extra responsibilities in % 1y order to keep everything running smoothly. " Organization is key," Kriz 7 E commented , "so we have to keep the event at hand in check. "

Southeast is a school of traditions, and the clubs are no exception ; they have been important to students since t h, school opened with ten dubs. Among these were the 'S' club for boys who lettered in Varsity sports and the pep club , otherwise known as the ' Knightettes ' . By 1980, Southeast had thirty clubs. This year, you will find fifty -two clubs, no matte r what you are interested in , there is a club for you

From athletic club to art club, photography club to bridges, these busy groups have satisfied the needs of Southe a: students. Clubs give students a chance to explore their hobbies and interests with fellow classmates. ·We have also fou n that we are able to express our fee ifl g mVe, pinions freely because each club is so individualized. Clubs such as Students for Choice and Students for Life allow people to choose which voice they stand for.

Each year, new clubs are added to the roster. If you have an idea and a sponsor, then you've got a great start to having your own club. The administration has been very willing to listen to new ideas that give students a chance to broaden their horizons .

Over the years, clubs have become more active by reaching outto the commun· i t · r; r.i g homes, picking up trash, and fundraising o n osov~ df minefields are ,1 just some of the selfless acts various clubs performed · Ir this year.

After much debate

p O Robert Parent Club Day was introduced in 1996. Once a month, clubs meetduringvariousperiods throughout the day. This new method has been successful, but m r.:, n. ,1'\ HH"' " meet outside of school for addition al meetings and activities.

No matter how busy students become, they are always willing to take advantage of the golden opportunities offered by Southeast's clubs.

P oto co~sy of 1975 Shield Importance of participation ... Southeast clubs have nearly always been an intregal part of the school. It is important for all clubs to be recognized and be able to invite others to join their activities. Above, the 1975 International club sponsored a 'Food Tasting Party.' This event allowed the club to gain recognition and offered students to get a taste of the world. The newly formed club TING (Teachers in the Next Generation) was honored at the December pep rally. At left, senior Nicole Hansen and Principal Dr Nancy Becker switched roles so that Hansen was · the consoling teacher and Becker was the frantic student. This performance allowed those attending to see what it takes to be a teacher.

Lincoln is supported by many thriving businesses who have always been willing to help out local schools. Not c , do they sponsor events and make generous donations, they also provide the opportunity for Southeast students to w Aside from homework, sports, clubs and other extracurricular activities, somehow we find time for employment at tr : local businesses.

Advertising has come a long way since Southeast opened. Until the mid-eighties, photographers only pict 1 e one person to advertise their studio. Popular hangouts such as the 84th and 'O' Street Drive In and King's have be, 1 replaced by movie theaters and Amigo's. Although some of the businesses have changed, the fact that most stu d, work has not. You can find people employed at restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, and all of the malls Without these places of business a r ··i i· gr, ss to allow fiexible scheduling, students would not be able to earn money.

Thanks to the help of the community, we have been able to support some school events through donations and discounts. Each year, Subway discounts the giant sub sandwich for the Booster Bash on the first day of school. Runza and Valentino's dona e their time and food for the annual Spring Day. As far a re concerned, Hobby Lobby offers discounts on all decorations and Pepsi lends us the 'Pepsi Wagon' to provide the pop. Ventures in Partnership businesses support the school too, with internship opportunities and certificates for achievement.

As the times change, so do the places where we enjoy hanging o~he staurants and clothing stores come and go. Students' tastes change over the years; but the community remains to support us and cheer us on. This encouragement is worth more than 24 Karat Gold.

... Local businesses play an important role in the lives of students . During the early years of Southeast, King 's was one of the most popular student hangouts. Pictured above are a group of Knights in 1965 eating and socializing. After several decades of serving Lincoln, King's closed in February of this year Now many students enjoy the open ·campus lunch policy for juniors and senio_rs. It is difficult to imagine a time before going out to lunch, but in the early 1970s that was the case. Students protested with sit-ins and petitions in order to gain this freedom

Pictured at left are seniors Heidi Sprague and Whitney Carper eating lunch at Runza .

Why would a yearbook ever include events from past years? High school life and people change daily and we have emphasized the aspects of our school which have remained unchanged. But it is our past which helps to prepare us for the future. The stability and strength hich c es through tradition and experience help to pave the road for every Knight. Everyone has diffi n j ams and plans for the future; we will all be heading in different directions when the final bell of1999-2000 rings.

Knights have always aspired for high achievement and this year is far from exception. The year has been marked by state sport championships, sold-out plays and Night of Knights performances, superior ratings in music competitions and nationals for clubs. Our generation of Knights retains the same expectations, confidence and spirit as our predecessors. • outheast is a place of pride and commitmen , ~ ea y to take on any challenge in order to help the community and encourage participation in all its activities.

Involvement in the community conti'nues to rise, as do the standards of achievement. Success does not only come from winn ct s and students a the head of the class, it comes from surpassing our own goals and achieving more than we believed to be possible in order to Keep Up With The Gold.

The 2000 Shield was printed by Walsworth Publishing Company in Marceline , Missouri. 1600 copies of the 45th volL ordered. After several theme ideas , we decided that "Keeping Up With the Gold " would be the perfect theme to express o standing traditions of academic and athletic excellence The theme was carried through the entire book by the editors Barb and Erin Phillips , and the yearbook staff. The photos on the title page were taken by Robert Parent. Photoshop assistance~ by local artist Joe McDermott. Sports team photos were taken by Cynthia Wehland -Falk of Lincoln Public Schools.

The Shield was completed in six deadlines using Pagemaker 6.5 The fonts used were AWPC Abyss , Bracken , C Ebony , Emilee , Fatback , Freetime , Futura , Garamond Italic , Glenn Bold , Mixage , Mixage Bold , Oliveoil and Starved. The col were Spot Color Gold and Formula Colors 2000 .

Late nights , Saturday work days and additional time spent taking pictures have added up to over 2000 hours. We w you to know that we have always kept the students ' needs in mind and have produced this book to the best of our ability

The Shield staff would like to sincerely thank our advisor , Ann Quinlan for her endless support, constructive criticism , belief in us. Without her committment , th is book would not be what it

is today
