LINCOLN OOUTH~T.

TH£ D£FINITION OF £XCFJ ,I ,£NC£

Ex·cell·ence (n.): the state, quality, or condition of excelling; superiority; pre-eminence. Something in which a person or thing excels; a surpassing feature or virtue.

When you walk through the doors of Lincoln Southeast High School, you enter a realm of excellence. Here Southeast ' s tradition is guarded by the Knights. Southeast principal Dr. Pat Hunter-Pirtle said the most rewarding thing about being the principal was "watching the kids perform, work hard at something and then achieve it."

Academic integrity, state championships, voices of choirs, beats of the band, dances of the Shirettes, chants of the cheerleaders, stomping of the step chain, performances on stage, participation in clubs, and the smiles of students and faculty exemplify the excellence you encounter at Southeast, home of the Knights. "I am proud of the kids, they excel in lots of things," Dr. Hunter-Pirtle added.

KNIGHT PRIDE

Fun (n.): lively, joyous play or playfulness; amusement, sport, recreation.

Southeast students live the lives of busy black and gold bees, but while buzzing around they don't loose sight of fun. Knights take pride in coming .up with new and interesting things to do in and outside of Lincoln. They attended concerts, played sports, ate at new restaurants, and caught the latest flick at the movie theater. From traveling to working to hanging out with friends, students led active lives outside the school day and beyond their school desks.

INVOLVEMENT 'IESPECT INDIVIDUALITY TRADITION

Students have always shown extreme support

for Southeast; this year was no exception. Fans

showed up hours early to ensure front row seating for a performance or game. No matter the weather, the Southeast student section could be seen and heard. "The best thing is being able to cheer on your peers and going to a lot of the games to watch all your friends!" reserve cheerleader Cameron Hill said. Southeast is infamous for having hard-core fans, who will sacrifice their bodies and warmth to paint themselves black and gold. "It has begun" spelled out ten students as LSE took on the Papillion Monarchs in the first round of football playoffs These dedicated fans appeared on the front page of the Journal Star the next morning. Students dressed themselves in the spirit of Southeast every day wearing club t-shirts, athletic jerseys, National Honor Society medallions, Knight Zone shirts, band and spirit squad uniforms, performance dresses, letter jackets, and smiles promoting the scholarship, pride, involvement, respect, individuality, and tradition of Southeast.

In the summer the sun begins to rise earlier, the people start to get darker, and the fun begins. Southeast students have many c hoi ces on what they ca n to do over the summer.

After the last day of school is the first day of summer. It is a time of celebration. A joyous day of fun and tears. Time to start new things.

Many people start looking for a job. After having a hard school yea r of homewo rk it is time for a c hange. The people who have jobs may still wake up early in the morning to go out and work the day away. Josh Lovell worked at

Community service was also popular summer activity. Seniors were an extra willing group to do community service because they started count- · ing hours for their Citizenship Issues class. Every senior is required to complete twenty-five hours of community service. Senior Krista Munier helped out at a week-long summer camp for mentally challenged boys. Their ages ranged from 10 to 13. " It was amazing watching them get excited about even the simplest things," said Munier. Even after the camp was over Munier still kept in touch with one of the boys she met there.

Several students helped at Haymarket Haydays. This event was another fun opporEarl May. He proudly said, "A ll I ever did was drive a forklift." Despite holding a job people still found time to hang out with friends during their time off.

Some Southeast students preferred to lounge around all day, and go out when the sun went down. Not hav ing a job created time for all of the things students would not usually have time to do.

Students attended academic summer programs, band ca mps and athletic ca mps , taking advantage of their extra hours to improve their skills. Every student in the march-

in g band attended band ca mp. Whitney Jones happil y said, " There were a lower number of sophomores attending; this meant that we had one section leader for every new member. This allowed us to accomplish more, and better prepare for the up co ming season." Athletic camps were physi ca lly demanding but valuable to athletes trying out for high school teams. Summer clinics kept all all our sports stars in shape over the summer months when students tend to be lazy.

tunity earn those Citizenship Issues hours before senior year.

Other students found jobs outside mowing lawns or being a lifeguard. "I love being a swim coach and lifeguarding! I get all my favorite things at work: sun, swimming, and kids ," said senior Kelly Dolan. Knights also enjoyed getting together with buddies to play a game of soccer or basketball. This brought out the competitive spirit in all teenagers. Private and public pools were packed on those hot summer days when sweat rolled off your forehead.

Next year comes to mind with the coming of the end of summer. Last year's seniors prepare for college or what they may want to start doing as a job. Next year's students wonder who they will have class with, and what the year holds for them.

During the summer you are free to choose how you want to spend your time, liberated from school requirements. While some lounged, others were productive. Unfortunately summer doesn ' t last forever.

Summer.9

Summer is atime for relaxing, swimming, and vacationing. Students enjoyed their time off, and traveled to places around the world, from Key West to England.

Seniors Anna and Vanessa Wishart spent two weeks on a completely different continent, spending time with family in England in July. Surprisingly, this was not their first visit. Anna and Vanessa spent a day in Paris, enjoying the city and

Senior Suzanne Wing and her sophomore sister Christine relaxed for a week in Branson, Missouri with their family. They stayed in a cabin and enjoyed activities on the lake. The week was spent boating, tubing, waterskiing, swimming, checking out the boys, and cliff jumping.

Senior Laura Berger visited her dad, stepmom and stepsisters in Kentucky for the entire summer. She has always gone to vist for a couple weeks during the summer, but never for the en- all its unique shops and stores. They both loved the freedom that the trip gave them.

In another part of the world , senior, Claire Adams, sweltered in the hot summer heat of the Dominican Republic. She went on a 10-day mission trip with her church. They spent their time working with young children, and teaching kids about the Bible.

History teacher Crystal Folden visited China. "Getting the chance to go to a

tire three months. Laura made Kentucky her home while she worked in the concession stand at a country club, and hung out with old friends. Although she was away from her friends and family in Lincoln, Laura was in no hurry to come home. "I love it there, it's so much fun! I loved my job and all the people I worked with. Now that I am back home, I miss everyone in Kentucky so much!" Tibetan village was a once in a lifetime experience , " she said.

A little closer to home, senior Liz Voelker spent three weeks in Wisconsin with her family. She kept busy with swimming, enjoying the outdoors, and writing letters to her friends back home. Although she had a fantastic time, she was "definitely ready to get back to Lincoln after so much time away from my friends."

On the east coast a group of nine juniors visited Mike Tom kins' grandmother's house in Bethany Beach, Delaware. "It was really great getting to spend a week with my closest friends in a fun place like that," Tomkins said.

Senior David Logan spent a week in Ohio with his brother-in-law. His favorite part was King's Island in Cincinatti. He said, "King's Island was way cooler than World's of Fun! I rode on a roller coaster called "The Beast," which is the longest wooden roller coaster ever!"

Students at Southeast enjoyed a terrific summer filled with many adventures to places near and far. Whether vacations were spent with family or friends, students loved their time off relaxing, having fun and seeing new places.

Car insurance, gas, clothes, and much more. As a high school student there are more responsibilites than just getting good grades or finishing an English project. Many Southeast students have a part time job Most students agreed they needed money for gas and insurance but also wanted extra money to spend on clothes and entertainment, such as movies. In

recent years things have become more expensive and some students are expected to provide for themselves more than in the past. Although it is hard to balance the stress of school and a part time job, senior Amy Brenden said responsibility "prepares you for life and supporting yourself."

Senior Bryony Ford has worked at a drycleaners for about a year. She is in charge of taking people's clothes and sending them to a plant to be cleaned. Although sometimes the job is boring Ford said, "It's a good idea to have a job if you can balance it while in school."

budget my money for my bills." Senior Jenny Zimmerman and juniors Kyle Kleeman and Jared Ubben also work for ITC.

Senior Jill Caldwell is an employee of Eastmont Towers. She has been a receptionist there for five months. Caldwell says it is a fun job because "you get to know residents, and about their lives because they all have a good story to tell." Caldwell enjoys the extra spending money she earns from working a part-time job.

Time management is a big part of being in high school. Students quickly learn to create a time limit for themselves to get things done. Jobs, like school, require patience and time. Most students participate in a variety of activities through school, church, and the community, and still manage to maintain a job.

Junior Nikki Smith held a part-time job at Scheels during the summer. Smith was a cashier for three months, she siad it was a great opportunity to meet people outside of school. "School is

more important than having a job. It 's not good to have too much going on but is also good to have responsibilites outside of school," Smith said. Other Southeast Scheels' employees include se- months. Some students , like senior Liz Cayado, have never had a job. " It is too hard to work with all the homework and other responsiblities during the school year," Cayado said. Travelling prevents her from being able to work in the summer months.

For over nine months he has worked as a custodial engineer. " I have money whenever I needed it," Hamnett commented. Sophomores Jay Jackson and Kyle Font also work at Home Real Estate.

Although not everyone has a job during the school year they contribute to the high school life at Southeast.

Southeast alums cheered on the Knights to a 35- 7 win over the Grand Island Islanders to start off an enchanting Homecoming weekend. Shirettes helped to ensure the win by tucking-in the football players the night prior to the game. It was lightsout for our boys.

Lights were on, but the power wasn't working as Student Council members decorated the north gym for the Homecoming dance. Student council frantically searched through boxes and storage ro·oms for working strands of blue lights to complete the ensemble of seaweed, fish and ocean waves. "We had the theme picked before school even started," commented Student Council president, Sophia Dahab.

Hours later students filled the gym pouring out into the hall for a quick refreshment and a breath of fresh air before returning for the crowning of Nick Bahe and Laine

Norton as this year's Homecoming king and queen. StuCo member junior Sierra Nielson added, "Homecoming was huge, the gym was packed. And we raised a lot of money which will go toward the renovation of LSE's performing arts center."

For some, Homecoming was their first dance at Southeast, for others it was their last chance for royalty. Junior Marc Lorenz stated that Homecoming "was more enjoyable than past dances" due to the organization and efforts of Student Council members for hosting the first dance of the year.

As the lights dimmed, the audience's anticipation peaked, and soon the first notes came from the balcony, signifying the beginning of the first performance of "Les Miserables."

With the opportunity in hand, the cast and crew poured their hearts into having the production live up to all the expectations the Broadway musical produced. The actors had to overcome many obstacles in order to put on such an extravagant musical. "The most challenging aspect of the show was to actually live in the scene and act like you were really in France," commented junior David Marker. Many cast members also commented that learning the music and words was very difficult.

All the emotion on stage would not have had its full effect if it were not for the backstage crew members. From the intricate craftsmanship to the technical light production, many hours of dedication were spent to create the stage. "I spent 240 hours of my time to complete the very complex set," stated junior Josh Foster.

Foster was not alone in his late nights at school; the cast sometimes completed rehearsals at 2 a.m. the closer it came to opening night "We were so delerious at the end of the late night dress rehersals. All the delerium was great!" Marker commented.

But without Foster and the rest of the backstage crew, this year's production would not have been what it was. The bond between the cast and crew was tight. "I loved working with the techies," said sophomore Tom Salistean.

Junior f-ielen DeBuse and senior Car11eron Sr11ith practice during one of the cast's r11any rehearsals. "It took a lo t of effort to get into the er11otional scene of Eponine 's death." said DeBuse

Between rehersals and the shows, the cast and crew made many memories together. Whether it was tears before the last show, or laughter on opening night, the cast was there for each other. "The funniest time was definitely on opening night when Steve's pants zipper was down," senior Jenny Atwood stated. Senior Cameron Smith added, "The funniest thing I remember was seeing Becky's hair stick out a foot all around her head!"

For some, the personal accomplishments that this play had to offer were their best memories. "My best memory was the day I actually started acting and not just singing the lines," Salistean said.

When all the rehersals were over and it was time to take the first step onto the stage, so much had happened to impact the cast and crew's lives. Junior Mikkel Hamik shared, "I've done a lot of extracurricular activities, and theatre people are by far the most loving. I've made so many amazing friends and had so many fun experiences with them. Theatre is the thing I am most grateful to be involved in."

At the end of the four performances and two long months of memorizing and practicing, the cast was beyond satisfied with their show. " I was really impressed with our abilitiy to pull off 'Les Mis' so successfully," commented Atwood. Carol Svoboda summed up her perspective as the director saying, "I know that we did a truly professional production of 'Les Miserables' that touched the lives of many people."

Voted an outstanding Student Council by the Nebraska Association of Student Councils for the twelfth year in a row , the Southeast StuCo outdoes themselves year after year. Th eir hard work and great attitudes have helped to improve the schoo l and community. The 2002-2003 Student Council hopes to donate over $20,000 to the renovation of Southeast's performing arts center. The council decided to sponsor a school-wide project after building skate parks in north and south Lincofn last year.

The Student Council is not only known for reaching their goals and getting things done, but more importantly it has earned its excellent reputation because of the people involved. " My favorite part about Student Council is being a part of this wonderful group of fun and talented people , " said senior StuCo member Trevor Heidinger.

" It's like a small fami ly within Southeast, with a large group of different personalities," added sophomore Kelly Loftis.

To gain important values such as leadership and teamwork, this years Student.Council ventured to Camp Kitaki for a retreat. At Kitaki they took part in many games and participated in various activities which were

throughout the year. Knight Z one t -shirts, Knight cards, Spring Da y, and the pancake feed are only a few examples of the massive amounts of e nergy StuCo put forth to raise money for school and comm uni ty improvement.

H ow is all of t hi s accomp li shed? Through the organization of focused meetings. These first period meetings are led by president Sophia Dahab with the assistance of off icers Laine Norton (vice president), Laura Sprague (se c retary ), Leigh Wagner (treasurer), and Jenna Hetcko (historian).

STUD£NTS FROM FAR AWAY £NJOY IS£ £XP£RI£NC£

This year Lincoln Southeast was home to students from a wide variety of faraway places. Foreign exchange students migrated to Southeast from Germany, China, and the Faroe Islands. Also, students from around the United States came to Lincoln to play for the Lincoln Stars minor league hockey team. For the most part, the students feel the Southeast experience has been a positive one. Sonja Paulsen from Klaksv1k in the Faroe Islands said, "Everything has gone good! People have been really n i ce to me. "

Foreign exchange students stay with volunteer "host" parents; these parents provide a home away from home for the student. Occasionally, different cultures colliding can be funny. Emma Cheung from Hong Kong laughs, "Misunderstandings in English or something I would say but they would say different...that's fun!"

Do the exchange students get tired of questions about their homeland, as well as endless stories about them in the Yearbook, Clarion, and home newsletters? Paulsen noted, "Sometimes it's just too much to answer the same questions 20 times in one period, but generally I've got nothing against the questions."

David Logan said, "I am happy that the exchange students were willing and able to provide valuable information for this story."

In addition, athletes from outside of Lincoln have helped the Lincoln Stars to a winning season. Stars from out-of-town include Jamison Orr, Keith Rodger, Danny lrmen, Phil Lamoureux, David Carlsle, and Mick Berge. "I'm obsessed with hockey players, they're so hot," said an anonymous girl.

What are the differences between Southeast and schools from other countries? Florian Haase, from Chemnitz in Germany said, "All is so big, and so is the football team. In Germany we don't have that or the marching band."

Sina Klindworth notices the structure of learning to be the main difference. "In Germany you are in class with the same people every lesson and the same room. The teachers move, not the students, and you can't decide which lessons you wantto have and which lessons you don't want to have."

Overall, the foreign exchange students' positive experience has been mutually beneficial to the school, believes Spanish teacher Arlys Eddy. "We learn so much from other cultures, whether our own or from another country. We're so lucky to have foreign exchange students in our midst."

From saying "Hello" to Harry Potter or "Goodbye" to our "Friends", this year was a memorable one in terms of entertainment. With historical performances from many of our favorite actors and actresses, and unforgettable moments from our Hollywood friends, such as those crazy Osbomes, this year in showbiz was a classic that will rerun for ages and ages to come.

There was hardly a dry eye when "Friends" announced it was their final season, only to announce later they would be returning to television for another season. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) has alway been a favorite on "must see" TV.

W iZard Power

With the release of the second "Harry Potter" movie came the anticipation of millions waiting to witness the beloved wizard work his magic on the big screen. State of the art filming techniques helped wow the audience.

I Do

The suprise hit of the year was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Putting a twist on the classic boymeets-girl tale, the unexpected gem of Hollywood captured audiences in a highly successful romantic comedy.

Judd meets W cxxl

Southeast's own Justin Wood hung with the big stars during World AIDS day. Wood met Hollywood actress, Ashley Judd, when both were in attendence at U2 frontman, Bono's appearance in Lincoln to speak about AIDS.

£NT£RTAINM£NT THE BIG AND LITTLE SCREEN

With the beginning of the new season on television came the announcement of the end of "Friend s" and the second season of the wildly popular "The Osbornes." But the "Friends " crew decided to return to television for another season. The Osborne family once again let the cameras of MTV film their lives filled with mishaps and mayhem, starring the lovable and often times incoherent father of the family, Ozzy Osborne.

Movie sales boomed in 2002. The biggest sales coincided with the releases of predicted hits, such as the second in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Audiences were caught in the web of chaos as Harry continued his adventures and misadventures at Hogwarts School of Wizardry.

Another smash hit was the second in the Lord of the Rings series, "The Two Towers." In this amazing film viewers were taken to a fantasy world full of elves, gnomes and trolls while trailing a young Hobbit in his adventures to destroy a magic ring.

There were many unexpected box office smashes that helped the Hollywood success of 2002, the biggest surprise was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," a romantic comedy with a heavy ethnic emphasis put on the relationship story line that made everyone Greek for a night.

A DEFINING MOMENT

Tears of joy filled the eyes of many in the entertainment business. For the first time in history, the Academy Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress went to an African-American, as Halle Berry took home the Oscar for her performance in "Monster's Ball."

The overwhelmed Berry apologized for her tears, for "the moment [was] so much bigger than [her]. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll," stated Berry as she credited the famous and notable African-American actresses who have preceeded her. Berry also paid homage to the actresses of her generation, including Jada Pinkett-Smith, Angela Bassett and Vivica A. Fox. Berry also shared her feelings that the award was for more than she and her co-workers, more than just an award, stating "It's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened."

Berry, who has star red in such movies as "Swordfish, " "The Flintstones," and the James Bond movie "Die Another Day" not only set her name in the history books, but also reserved herself a place among the Hollywood royalty. As she left the stage, with award in hand, all she could say was, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

A year after the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings, the United States and the world have undergone some noticeable changes. From the Homeland Security Act passed by President George W. Bush, to international relations and structure from the UN, to airport restrictions and additional security measures, the "Home of the Brave" has been forever altered.

Osam a bin Laden, the in famous leader of the terrorist group A l Queda , was rumored to have died after attacks from the U.S. These rumors were disre ga rded after numerou s tapes were received from the still living bin Laden.

WHO'S WHO IN THE NEWS

Important headlines in 2002-2003 covered attacks by snipers, the death of a family of astronauts, and the downfalls of some of the most notable names in America.

During the fall of 2002, citizens of Washington, D.C and the surrounding areas were held in fear by the threat of attacks by an unidentified sniper. Nowhere seemed safe, as the sniper hit victims from gas stations to restaurants and even at a middle school. After killing ten and injuring three more, two suspects, John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo, were caught. The nation was finally able to relax and stop worrying about snipers in white vans striking without mercy.

On the lighter side of news, homemakerguru Martha Stewart had charges pressed against her based on rumors of her involvement with insider trading. Stewart raised eyebrows and suspicion when she sold her 4,000 shares of stock in lmClone a day before the biotech company's application for FDA review of its new cancer drug was denied. Stewart's actions following the accusations did not stand to help her case, as she was not cooperative with the officials and lawyers who were investigating. In addition to her ordeal with the lmClone situation, K-Mart's financial status was a concern as her line of products was exclusive property of K-Mart stores. Finally on October 3, 2002, Stewart resigned from the Board of Directors of the New York Stock Exchange.

THE COLUMBIA IS I.DST

Early in 2003, the nation mourned the death of the seven-member crew of the space shuttle Columbia. Early on the morning scheduled for the return of the ship from its latest mission,communications with the shuttle from the Houston base were lost. News reports documenting the ship falling to earth soon followed. Dozens of citizens in Texas and Louisiana filmed the craft as it fell from the heavens in hundreds of pieces. The nation watched on in surprise and sadness as NASA and officials tried to pin-point the cause for the _crash. President Bush took time out of his busy schedule to speak at the memorial held in Houston for the astronauts lost in the crash.

DIV£RSITY

ln·di·vid·u·al (n.): Existing as a distinct entity; distinguished by particular attributes.

The environment at Southeast is one where differences in race, gender, personality, values, religion, physical appearance, interests, and talents are appreciated for their uniqueness. The student body consists of hundreds of individuals whose distinctive features come together to form amazing groups and teams: the state football champions, the cast of "Les Mis," Night of Knights performers, award-winning music groups, a chapter of National Honor Society and National Merit Finalists, just to name a few. Other individuals use their talents to play an irreplaceable part in the day-to-day experience of high school life. All these individuals came together to create the chemistry of Southeast, sharing one characteristic: they are Knights.

2003

From sports to academics, Southeast has a unmatched record of excellence, making it an ideal school for all 629 students in the 2003 senior class. "It's nice to be able to say that our school is the best and be able to say it truthfully," Anna Cooper said. The school provided excellence in classes as well as activites. At the beginning of the year a survey was given to 261 of the seniors, providing a view of who the senior class was, what they enjoyed, and what they hoped to become within the walls of Southeast and beyond.

CLUBLIF£

60WAYSTOGETINVOLVED

Clubs were a big part of student life at Southeast. Eighty-four percent of seniors participated in at least one club, and 71 % were involved in more than one. "Clubs are a great way to meet people I normally wouldn't get to talk to," explained Chloe Sweet. The largest club in 2002 was Fishing Club with 269 members, 80 of which were seniors. The second largest was Friends Club with 225 members, 73 seniors. Campus Life was home to 88 seniors, the . most in any of the 60 clubs and 219 total members. Daniel Church saw clubs as "a chance to relate to other students you may have never had a class with." Another perk and one of the main reasons students partook in club activities was simply to "get out of class" as Drew Joseph bluntty stated.

IN TH£ CLASSROOM REACHING GOALS

Academics were important to many seniors throughout their high school careers. These seniors worked hard in class to become distinguished among their peers, and due to their efforts 170 seniors made the Honor Roll and 175 were inducted into National Honor Society. There were 352 seniors enrolled in advanced classes, eight National Merit semifinalists and nine commended scholars. David Old.father reflected the mind set of these seniors, believing that "the harder the class, the more you learn." Billy Alexander added, "Senior year is hard because you are trying to make all these huge decisions about your life and future, while still trying to maintain good grades." Holocaust Literature was a popular class among seniors. "It forced ydu to think outside your barriers and become more open to all sorts of people," Alicia Toy felt. Holocaust Lit was developed by Southeast's own Paul Smith, whose teaching style added to its . success.

ASAT£AM SPORTS CONTINUE TO EXCEL

Athletics are an essential part of Knight pride It is a well-known tradition to win District championships and State tournaments. Robert Franey enjoyed playing basketball because "it kept me busy, Southeast is so good and I liked the competitiveness." Eighty-four seniors participated in fall sports helping to continue the tradition of excellence. Senior athletes included 35 football players, four softball players, seven volleyball players, six boys tennis team members, seven girls golfers, and 25 boys and girls cross country runners. During the winter season seniors filled eleven spots on the boys basketball team, nine played girls basketball, five wrestled, two boys swam, and seven girls swam and dove. "Sports keep you in shape , and give you a chance to meet new people while being involved in school and showing school spirit," explained Beth Kalemkiarian. Seniors could be found on Fridays in the crowd at Seacrest field to cheer on the Knights football team .- Football was voted their favorite sport to watch, followed closely by basketball.

ONE FINAL CONCERT SENIORS LEAVE .THE STAGE

The melodies of singing and instruments coming from M-hall are an asset to Southeast spirit. From band to choir, many students were involved in music during their years of high school. "The experiences and memories are priceless," said Andrea Callahan. Thirty-two seniors marched in the band, sixteen participated in Symphonic Band, five played in the orchestra, twenty were in Wind Ensemble, 28 performed at basketball games, and seventeen were jazz musicians, which was certainly enough music to get the crowd pumped up at sporting events or entertain audiences during concerts. "Music is an awesome way to express yourself, " said Liz Alderson. Fifty-one seniors comprised the five varsity choirs: Ars Nova, Bel Canto, Chansonneire , C&N, and Court Choir. Vocal and instrumental music were a big part of many seniors' lives and helped them form everlasting friendships and values. "B and is its own community," Bethany Gooden explained.

NOT JUST SCHOOL STUDENTS FACE MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES

From cars to cell phones, Southeast seniors had many responsibilites outside of school. "I have to work 32 hours a week to make money to pay insurance and car payments This makes school pretty much secondary to me," said Jeff Johnson. Ninety percent of seniors had a car but only 75% parked in A lot. Not everyone was ready for the responsibility of driving a car 46% of seniors admitted to locking their keys in their car. Grant Heilman described responsibilities as a "necessary evil." Some didn't like the pressure of responsibility outside of school. Sara Ekstrom explained, "I didn't like having a job during the week because the hours interfere too much with school and activities." Other responsibilites seniors faced included: cell phones, laundry, significant others, and curfews. Sixty-seven percent of seniors carried a cell phone. Fifty-one percent did their own laundry, and 43% had a significant other. Sixty-six percent were restricted by a curfew averaging between midnight and 1 :00 a.m. "Sometimes it's hard and you want to give up, but you keep on going because you need to grow up and have responsiblities," Mollie Edson said.

FAMILIAR FAC£S FAMILIES FORM PATTERNS

Southeast is a school fi lled with pride and rich traditions that go back many years. Twenty-one percent of seniors had parents who attended Southeast during their high school years. Forty-three percent had siblings who attended Southeast, and 17% had siblings at LSE with them. " It was nice to have my brother at Southeast to show me around. I wanted to go here because of the great tradition," Travis Sieck commented. Ninety percent of the 2003 graduating class attended Southeast from tenth through twelfth grades. "Students strive for excellence at Southeast and return year after year because Southeast creates healthy competition and interaction," explained Bub

LUNCHTIME HUNGRY. HUNGRY

HIPPOS

Despite the easy access to food everyday in the cafeteria, 71 %of seniors chose to go out for lunch. Bryony Ford said, "I like to go out because it's not as squished as the cafeteria." Seniors went out to lunch an average of three times per week: 18.5% of seniors preferred Subway for the healthiness and good service wh il e18% chose to eat at Valentino's. Switching to Val's pizza from Godfather's caused a great debate in the cafeteria. This change met with 57% of students' approval. The favorite hot lunch among seniors was creamed turkey. Some seniors opted to grab a bite to eat at home. " I just go home because I get out after fifth period, and it saves money," said Cassie

IN THE MORNING ~ GETTING

READY FOR SCHOOL

For some students, waking up was a challenge. After hitting snooze a few times, 77% of the seniors woke up to their alarm clock and 14% had their parents give them a wake up call. Only 40% ate breakfast on a regular basis. Frances Schoonveld explained, "I don't eat breakfast because I don't have time since I have to shower, do my hair, put on make-up, get dressed, et cetera." It took most students an hour or less to get ready leaving 26% of them time to watch T.V. before school. Ryan LeGrande said, "I watch SportsCe!lter to find out what happened the day before in sports." Only 16% of students said they had time to do homework before heading to class.

SENIOR APPEARANCES STANDING OUT IN THE CROWD

Students strived to be individuals in the big crowd at Southeast: forty-nine percent of seniors had piercings while 8% displayed tattoos to distinguish themselves from others. "Everyone is so similar these days. I wanted to do something to make me stand out more," Stephanie Anderson said. Anderson had a tattoo of the Egyptian Sun God on her lower back. Seven percent of students tanned on regular basis and 23% dyed or highlighted their hair. "I highlighted my hair because I was looking for a change,'' explained Billy Virtiska. Seventy-four percent of seniors wore straight hair, while 21 % dressed in curls. Students expressed school spirit and personality with their appearence. Enjoyable pastimes were created by altering identities for dances, games, or other activities.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

As students got ready to fini sh their senior year, they were busy filling out college applications and scholarships. "I plan on filling out two or three applications to see what the colleges will offer me. Once I have been accepted, I have the flexibility to decide where I will go based on other factors," explained Jordan Fisher Thirty-six percent of seniors planned to attend UNL in the fall and 37% were planning to go out of state for their freshman year in college. Emily Paxton said, "I probably will go to UNL because I want to stay close to family and friends and I don't have enough money to go out state." Not only were students preoccupied by co 11ege choices, counselors were also busy filling out an average of five letters of recommendations and sending 35-40 transcripts a week. Senior year was a busy time for everyone.

ECHO~ ACHI£V£M£NT C

Schol·ar·ship (n.): Quality of knowledge and learning shown by a student.

Lincoln Southeast students pursue a high academic standard. Five-hundred and sixty-three Knights made the honor roll, maintaining a 3.5+ grade point average. Grades aren't the only measure of excellence in the classroom . Excellence can be seen in students' effort and perseverence. Every student is given the opportunity to explore their niche in the world of academia in one of the 306 classes offered.

Like the popular song by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the dedicated staff of the business department helped students set the foundation for their business education. Computer Applications, Marketing, Career Education, and Keyboarding are only a few examples of the many classes the business department provided. Business plays a very important role in our society and daily lives.

"Everything I've learned I think is very essential and necessary for any career," commented sophomore Jessica Essen burg.

Whether it is running your own business, managing household

accounts, secretarial support, or being president of a large corperation, students came to realize that this area of study provided necessary information for a successful future.

"Many people use business daily whether it's for their careers or for their entertainment," said junior Jessy Johansen.

Taking the class to graduate, wanting to meet the requirments for DECA, and understanding more about computers and careers are some of the various reasons students chose to take business courses.

"I took th is class because I needed another technology class and I figured I might as well take a class that would be useful," responded senior Lindsey Schrelter.

"I took Advanced

Computer Applications because I wanted to better my understanding of computer basics," said senior Jimmy Dager. "I think many people take it for the same reason."

Students also enjoy the relaxed and fun learning environmont that surrounds the business classes. Several of the instructors that teach computer-based courses enabled the students to be independent and allowed them to listen to music while they typed.

"The main goal I am trying to get the students to learn before the semester is over with is to learn how to learn and to continue to learn throughout life," explained Bonnie Smith, Computer Applications teacher. by Megan

When you think of English class, do you only think of reading and writing? Some people may, -but students at Southeast beg to differ. The long list of class choices not onry met graduation requirements, but met students interests as well.

The hours spent reading and analyzing novels, non-fiction books, poetry, and short stories taught students skills that will stay with them forever. The ability to comprehend and reason with stories' characters and plot lines readies them for standardized tests as well as English courses that follow.

Because there are so many genres and historical · perioas dealing with literature, the English department understands the importance of giving students choice. Classes are offered that focus on critcal reading and writing analytical ski I ls, such as

Advanced Placement Language and Com position and the follow-up course, Advanced Placement Literature and Composition.

Senior Andy Wright took Melanie Bills-Farber's AP Lit./ Comp. class and commented, "At first, it was really hard. Then, as time went on, it was still really hard."

Junior Arhur Nelson, a student in Ann Quinlan's AP Lang./Comp. class stated, "The classroom atmosphere was both relaxed and spontaneous. I had a lot of ti me to absorb the material."

Other students preferred to take a different approach to English, choosing classes focused on one major topic such as Shakespeare or Literature of the Holocaust. Both semester-long courses specialized in reading, understanding, and developing opinions about the subject, whether it be "A Midsummer Night's Dream" or The Diary of Ann Frank. The uniqueness and specialty

of the classes enabled students to accumulate a significant amount of knowledge on an interesting level. Senior Brian Christiansen enjoyed working on various projects pertaining to William Shakespeare ' s incredible writing. "We delve into the great playwright and work through his masterpieces , " he explained.

Creative Writing was another popular class, allowing students to develop their writing abilities, but at the same ti me develop imagination and excitement in tneir writing. It was not your typical English class because rather than sitting at desks with binders and books, students enjoyed the change of pace by using computers on a daily basis.

No matter what interest you may have, there is surely an English class that will captivate you, and add to your high school experience.

Whether it be learning how to manage a household or how to survive in the career world, students involved in FCS, Work Experience, and Internship learned basics that will help them in life past high school.

This year's internship program got off to an interesting start. Last year it was doubtful that this opportunity would be available but, "we got it back!" said senior Eliza Bach man. Internship students ventured to a work site to help and observe people at on the job. Intern sites varied · from elementary schools to law firms, and students learned many valuable lessons.

Students in the work experience program received credit hours for their work and got paid! Ellen Williams and Connie Witt supervised th is program and assisted their students.

"I like being able to vent to them about my troubles at work," said senior Mindy Young. Students set up meetings with Williams or Witt to discuss their career. They were able to address any problems they were having with co-workers or their boss and establish ways to fix them. Students were required to journal about their positive and negative experiences.

Students were offered the basics in a variety of different classes. These courses educated students in Interior

Desi gr. class, sewing, childcare, cooking, and other necessary life skills. "This class is the key to all my future success!" said senior Anna White.

Junior Sarah Rogers was excited about the new strainers in her cultural foods class. Baking is only half the fun; eating seems to be a favorite among all the students. Senior Kuic Hundall said his favorite part was wearing an apron. Sophomore Kyle Ryan said he enjoyed everything about being in FCS classes.

School is not only an institution where the mind is tested, but it is a f lace where al I facets o the human can be expanded. No fact proves this more than the Physical Education classes. From Toning and Fitness to Weight Training, and from Water Sports to Recreational Sports, the PE classes offered something for everyone

Taking a Physical Education class is a requirement for all students that wish to graduate, so Southeast provided a variety of classes for students to choose. "P.E. gives you a chance to improve your health, meet people you wouldn't otherwise know, and just spend time doing games you_ enjoy," said senior BenJamin Ferneau.

For students who have a little bit of 'fish' in them, Wa_t~r Sports or L_ifeguard Training are good picks. For · those Scnwarzeneggerwannabes, Weight Training is always a popular choice. Junior Mikkel Hamik took the class and rer,orted, "We ight training is a fantastic way to get in snape and gain muscle mass. It's also a great time to clear your mind and get away from daily stress."

Physical Education classes provide students with a break from the rest of their school day that challenges the mind, and provides them with an opportunity to challenge their bodies.

Along with P.E., Health class is also required and usefu I. Have you ever wondered what PCP does to you? One class got to look at pictures of crazy spiderwebs that spiders constructed

when given drugs. Have you ever wanted to know the best diet and exercise program to increase muscle mass< What are the most significant facts about AIDS? All of these questions can be answered in any of the health classes.

Students learned about alcohol and other drugs, diseases, and body systems. From exercise routines to diet habits, from the way the body works to the diseases that penetrate the body, students learned important health information.

If one needs to get back into shape, or if _they just want to have a little fun, maybe a PE class is for them. Senior Spencer Janssen Piut it plain and simple. lP.E. rocks!" And make sure to crack open those health books and learn about how to k~~p yourself in tip-top cond1t1on.

High school brings with it many privileges, and among those privileges, none may be more coveted than the almighty driver ' s license. To help prepare students to take on the streets of Lincoln, Southeast offers a Driver's Education course. This course helps prepare students by teaching them the basic rules of driving, preparing them for their written and driving test from the Department of Motor Vehicles, and gives them a chance to test the roads in the student driver vehicles.

Driver's Ed teaches the simple rules of driving: turning, signaling, accident procedures, and everything else one needs to know about the ru~es of the road. Driver's Ed teaches students to respect the

road , and not to treat it like a toy that can be abused. These lessons are taught two days a week during the in-class instruction. The other three days allow the students an opportunity to get behind the wheel and show the instructor what they are made of. For those students who aren't driving, it's off to study hall for them.

Many students take Driver's Ed for one main reason. Insurance. Taking Driver's Ed can help lower the cost of the massive toll it can take on a student's, or parent's , income.

So whether or not Driver ' s Ed is an option for you, make sure to buckle up always and watch out for those students who did not take the class.

Feeling the need to build something sturdy with your own two hands? Why not give one of Southeast ' s Industrial

Technology classes a try? You can test your ski Ils with a buzz saw , or emphasize the · "technology" of Industrial Tech with a CAD (Computer Aided Design ) class.

Industrial Tech is provided to students that have an interest in engineering and architecture. Many students take an Industrial Tech class to see if those topics of study are areas that they want to pursue with their lives. "You learn something new everytime you come down here , " said CAD teacher Jane Edwards. Fellow Industrial Tech teacher Aaron Svi k added, " It's all very applicable." Southeast provides a great springboard for students to test their skills and appeal to students with Industrial Tech. interest s. Hammer away!

With five minutes left before the post office closes, the staff members of the journalism department do one last edit and put the final touches on the pages before sending them to be published. It is the neverending story of deadlines. Even the Journalism class, which does not produce a publication, got a taste of just what a deadline -is when they got to try their hand at writing stories for the "Clarion."

Staffs of both the "Clarion" and Shield faced new challenges. Both groups were understaffed and there were very few returning members . Everyone got on-the-job training as they learned

new things while producing the school's monthly newspaper and the yearbook. The editors' jobs grew beyond designing layouts and editing proofs as they had the added challenge of taking pictures and writing stories. " Journal ism is a way of Iife for me," said senior yearbook co-editor Kelly Dolan.

"Every day is unique and challenging, " commented Judy Hanika, first year "Clarion" adviser and Journalism teacher. Walking into any journalism class was enjoyable and as most students would agree the new friendships probably made all · · the hard work and headaches worthwhile. Staff members quickly started to seem like a family and even in the most

stressful of times and worked to boost each others ' confidence and remind one another that the computer would reboot and the printer would print. "Just sing to the printer when it won't print," senior Eliza Bachman quickly learned.

In a perpetual cycle, everyone was dependent on everyone else. When Shield needed a picture the "Clarion" staff was always willing to lend them a few shots. Students worked with each other to get stories written, interviews done, and pictures taken so everyone ' s layout was completed on time, no matter who was credited.

The treasured book that breaks your back when you drag it home everyday Numbers create headaches as students solve equations and work formulas in math class. "I dislike numbers," said Geometry sophomore Dillion Cornett.

"It's challenging to overcome the view that math is just a bunch of unrelated numbers," said math department chair Da n Hohense.

Southeast provides a variety of math classes to meet the abilities of all students. In addition to Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Geometry, Pre-calculus, and Calculus, LSE offers Transition Math, Algebra Extended, Discrete _ Math, Pre-college, and

It's the first home game of the season and halftime is seconds away. Seven a.m. practices and everything learned at band camp would be put to the test. Everybody looked sharp in their Southeast Marching Band uniforms as they filed onto the field. Stepping into place, hearts began to race, fingers were put into place, and then the conductor began. March, keep in step, don't march too fast and not too slow. Keep in formation, don ' t miss that high note. Then the conductor cuts and the first song is done. Smiles spread over faces, glances were exchanged, and sighs were let go.

Marcning band season, or the first quarter of the school year, was full of new friends, early mornings,

and lots of hardwork. The time spent in class was practice for halftime, competitions, and parades

Not only was band a time for new friends, but also new titles. New section leaders had to get used to their role as leader and advisor. This years drum majors, Whitney Jones and Bethany Gooden, were also something new the band had to get used to. "Marching Bana is like one big happy family. We even have all of the social problems of one, " stated Junior Josh Arten.

This year the band enjoyed their time at the First Annual Band Extravaganza. . The extravaganza was an · indoor concert in which the band performed their halftime show, The First Knight, along with many other pieces from their repertoire.

Once Marching Band and football seasons were over , basketball season started and · thus the start of basketball band The students playing their upbeat halftime music and wearing their baseball jerseys helped pump up the crowd and give the teams an extra boost of confidence.

This year's season was serenaded with new songs like "September," "Make Me Smile," and "White Room."

The song "Girlfriend" was written by Matthew Sweet, a Southeast alum, and all the band ' s songs were arranged by director Brendan Sibfey. Each of these songs had it ' s own individual beat and rhythm.

The bands livened up the crowd and boosted the teams ' spirits, as always by Eliza Bachman

It inspires love, hate , happiness, anger, energy, enthusiasm , depression , fear, sheer terror , dancing, thinking, hunger, dizziness, wonderment , and many other usef u I daily emotions What is th is thing that brings on so many expressions? Music.

Southeast was home to a plethera of wonderful instrumental music classes , each provided something for all students and their chosen instrument. These exuberant organizations were Symphonic Band , Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band I and II, and Orchestra. Each had its own individual

sound , but they all sounded great.

With all of these classes, the sounds of Southeast came out loud and clear. There were the bluesy sounds of the jazz classes, the melodic string sound from the Orchestra, and the harmonic sound from Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble.

Each individual group prepared for a competition and multiple concerts. " We got to improv and solo , which was a lot of fun , " said sophomore Paul Krueger The musicians in each of these classes put in many hours beyond scheduled class time practicing their parts to

make them perfect.

In the second quarter of the year Symphonic Band began, along with Wind Ensemble and Jazz II. While Jazz I made their happening music and great sound all year long.

" I like the students, staff, parents, teachers , and administration. The people here are great, " stated music teacher RJ Metteer.

With unity, emotion , and lots of extra work the students and teachers of Symphoni c Band, Wind En semble, Jazz I and 11 , and Orchestra came out on top.

People singing, a piano playing, and feet moving were just a few of the sounds you might have heard coming from the music hallway. However one sound that was never absent from Southeast singing groups was laughter. Junior Silke Bender said, " I like choir because of all the fun you have with the people."

From Chamber Choir you wou Id hear a mixed sound of guys and girls, singing a variety of songs, from "Cruella De Vil" to "Let The River Run. " Lindsey Ward said, "I look forward to this class all day because I have met so many new people."

Chevaliers is the French word for 'knight' and the choir formerly known as

mixed chorus. They changed their name to make it more "Knight" sounding, like the rest of Southeast choirs. "All the other" choirs had names and we felt like we should have one," said junior Kris Vollmer. Chevaliers is the only choir at Southeast that you don't have to audition for.

Sophomore Courtney Poulos , Knight Sounds member, stated, "Some parts of the tryout process can be tough, but you just have to relax and be yourself!"

Countesses and Noblemen consists of juniors and seniors who can not only sing, but dance at the same time. "The variety of character and people in C&N makes it fun, everyone gets along with everyone else," said junior Mark Barrera.

Following in their dance steps are the members of Knight Sounds, the sophomore swing choir. They started a choir tradition this year, performing at a pep rallies. "It was a lot of fun performing for the whole school. I didn't know that groups got to do that, but it was an honor for us to be the first," said sophomore Lauren Lineweber. Bel Canto and C&N also performed at a pep rally during the year.

These choirs filled our castle with beautiful sounds every day. They sang in the classrooms in "M" harl, in the hallways during orientation and open house, and in Prasch for pep rallies, honors convocations, and NHS Induction.

Webster's Dictionary defines music as, "the art and science of combining vocal sounds in varying melody, harmony, ana rhythm." Southeast combines the sounds of madrigal, jazz, classical, and contemporary music in four and three part harmonies with varsity singing groups, Ars Nova, Ber Canto, Chansonniere, and Court Choir.

"S inging jazz ca_n ~ave some crazy 1mprov1sat1ons where you don't really know what to do and other times, jazz can be mellow and you just sing whatever comes from your soul," said junior Mandy Schnakenberg, a member of Ars Nova. Ars Nova is the mixed jazz choir, · consisting of juniors and seniors. This year they were surprised with the

oppertunicy to travel to Chicago by their director June Bowers.

Bel Canto is best known for their lavish Renaissance style costumes. Senior Lisa Larrew exclaimed, "We love our outfits because they are so much fun. One of the main reasons that people want to be in Bel Canto is because of the cool outfits." People also desired Bel Canto because of the acapella music. They sing madrigal songs first semester and pop songs second semester.

Chansonniere, the all-girls choir, proved to be a challenge for senior Katie Beckwitn who said, "twentynine girls in one room can be a little difficult, but I love my choir, we have formed great friendships." Unlike some of the other choirs that sing a certain type of music, Chansonniere sings a wide

variety of songs. Th is year the girls had the opportunity to take their songs on the road. They performed and competed at the Heritage Festival in San Francisco on April 24-27.

Court Choir also traveled. They went across town to Seacrest Field to sing "God Bless America" at the homecoming football game and across the country to Boston to sightsee and perform. "Court Choir is just a bunch of great people making great music," commentea senior Jordan Luke.

These varsity choirs shared their music at school, in the community, and around the country. Members of Ars Nova, Chansonniere, Bel Canto and Court Choir proved their excellence, not only to their audiences, but to themselves.

Often times throughout school you are told exactly what science class you must take, and which order you must take them in. As you advance into upper levels of high school, more options become available. Students begin to take classes that are of interest to them, and fulfill requirements at the same time.

Students may take anything from Astronomy to Anatomy and Physiology to Marine Biology. Often ti mes students prefer to take biology, chemistry, and then select a class of interest. Anatomy and Physiology is known as one of Southeast's most difficult classes. After Mr. Nelsen's

retirement last year, Carol Moravec picked up where he left off, teaching students how and why the body works the way it does. Many students interested in pursuing a career in the medical field found this class interesting, and a step in the right direction.

Others prefer to take semester long classes, such as astronomy. This unique class gives students the opportunity to study the solar system and atmosphere hands on.

Furthermore , several people chose to take Randy Emry's Advanced Chemistry, the follow-up class to Differentiated Chemistry. The class allowed them to learn in a lab-based environment. Senior Dan Miriovsky was a huge fan of the class.

"Chemistry is great," he said.

Physics was another popular class students chose to take, usually during their junior or senior years. Studying forces and motion may be extremely challenging for some , but to others , like junior Eric Tesmer, it was a fun experience. "I like the class because it is easygoing and Mrs. Haugerud does not ever force information on us, but shows us how things work. Plus, she is really funny, she tells hilarious jokes," said Tesmer.

No matter what path they chose to take, students had the opportunity to make the best of their high school science experience.

.

There are many ways to measure a teacher: the test scores their students receive, evaluations by administrators, portfolios they provide or the number of years that they teach.

The fact of the matter is that a teachers worth can not be defined by scores or evaluations. A good teacher's worth is left up to what they leave with their students.

Nancy O'Brien has taught at Southeast for years. She has touched the lives of thousands of students and left her knowledge of history with each one.

"She brought doughnuts on some test days. It was a great thing, because her test were killers,"

sophomore Matt Rosno remarked.

Junior Caitlin McArdle remembers a special Valentines' Day gift from her brother that O'Brien had a hand in. "Right in the middle of class she started singing a love song, it was so embarrassing when at the end everyone found out it was for me."

"Everyone knows about the weird things Mrs. O'Brien does. She sings, she yells, sometimes she made kids cry but she was always a great teacher. Having her do the weird things made everything she taught stand out more," senior Eric Himmelberger · reminisced.

It can be seen that Nancy O'Brien had an impact on these students, and they represent only a fraction of

those whom she taught. To her students she is not an ordinary teacher; ?he _is a prodigy in the education field, and she has left them with nothing but positive impressions while she taught them at an unmatchaole level.

Despite the exit of this marvelous teacher, the world of the social studies department must continue_ to turn. Th is year saw maJor changes within the department. David Nebel took over the teaching of the Citizenship Issues Diff. classes as well as the sponsorship of the We the People competition. Rob McEntarffer taught only part time, leaving psychology du~ies to Ki_m Paul and Mick Pierce, while Eric Sack taught philosophy.

Although Southeast offered a wide variety of classes, some students prefer to focus on one main interest during high school. The School of Arts and Humanities, Zoo School , and the Information Technology program fulfill the needs of these students. The Special Needs department also offers a variety of classes for students to learn at their own pace.

Hie Arts and Humanities Focus Program allows students to pursue their interests everyday. The school required one semester of art classes, and one year of humanities classes, but also offered traditional classes such as English, Spanish, and math: Senior Makayla Klein has attended the program for ~wo years and 1s interested in an art career. Klein liked the school. "It puts more focus on students. The small class size allows students to get more help." There were typically 10-15 students in each class

which also allowed students to have more say in what went on in school. There were ·twenty-one Southeast students who attended the School of Arts and Hu man ities.

The classes at Zoo School were also smaller in size Students from all Lincoln high schools are eligible to attend Zoo School as wel I as take classes at their home school. These classes focused on science and offered hands-on learning experiences. Eight Southeast students attencfed Zoo School. Senior Katie Wolfe enjoyed the more relaxed envi roment and oneo n-o n e setting with the teachers. Wolfe said, "I act more like myself at this school. I actually enioy i t now , as I never have before. "

The Information Technology Focus Program al lowed students to master computer software programs. At school these students were able to work with the latest computer technology. Senior James Rosser attended the school and said, "I would recommend attending ITFP to

anyone who has an interest in technology. If you want to make movies, ITFP is the place to go. If you want to learn how to design web f- ages , this is the place for you. TFP will accelerate your future. " There were seven Southeast students who attended Information Tech no logy schoool.

The - special Needs department provided opportunites for students to excel in school. Dr. Vicki Obrecht said , " The Special Needs department offers specialized classes in some content areas for students who might experience difficulty with classes in other departments. " They also offered a resour ce class every period where students could receive helR with their homework. This year the department added a new comRuterized IEP system. The Special Needs classes provided an enjoyable experience for students who might not have had one otherwi se.

iHola!, Bonjour, Hallo, these strange words echoed through F-hall as students learned how to communicate in other languages. Whether it was French, Latin, Spanish, or German, students found their niche and earned a global perspective of other cultures.

Between conjugating verbs, taking tests, and making casual conversations, language students got to envelop themselves in new cultures and broaden their horizons. Sophomore French II student Abby Fenton said that she enjoyed the satisfaction of realizing you're learning.

In a typical day of class, activities ranged from book work, presentations,

cooking, and even games involving fly swatters. l<athie Uhrmacher, world language department chair and French teacher said, "We vary activities several times during class; we have cultural activities too."

Southeast offered a total of 40 language classes with varying levels of difficulty. Students could choose to start slow and take a first year of language or accelerate their learning by taking 3/ 4 Spanish or French class.

Although language isn't required to graduate, universities exrect anywhere from two to four years of language instruction. There were other incentives for takin9i language.

'I think people who speak more than one

language are well-respected," saia German 3 student junior Nicole Earnest. Students like d·unior Priscilla Boon enjoy ialects so much that they take more than one language. Boon took Latin 1 / 2, French 4 and Spanish 3. She enjoyed reading books in other languages. "Learning a language is useful because I want to travel when I get older, " Boon commented.

Speaking a foreign language is afso very practical because of our expanding global community. Senior Fred Gay said, "By speaking in another language you have a greater chance of doing well later in life."

Distinguished seniors sat on the Prasch floor during the Fall Honors Convocation on October 1 7, 2002. Some displayed baby blue medallions, but all were elite academic students who came to be recognized for their hard work and dedication.

During the honors convocation, members of National Honor Society (NHS), honor roll, eight National Merit Semifinalists and nine National Merit Commended Scholars were recognized. In order to be a member of NHS seniors had to complete five hours of community service, maintain a 3.5 GPA, and compose an essay on one of the four NHS pi l lars: character,

scholarship, leadership, and service.

NHS is a national high school organization that emphasizes academic achievement and community involvement. Colleges respect members of this se lective society " I 'm in NHS because it's the thing to do if you're a good student," said treasurer A lex Levitov.

NHS was not an idle society, but as secretary Vanessa Wishart said, "NHS is a group that encourages helping the community." Many members exemplified service when they rang bells for the Salvation Army during the winter.

This year another pillar was added to Southeast's chapter . Vice-President Jill _

Rosno recalled, "We added the fifth cornerstone of NHS on the spur of the moment during the fall induction FUN!"

With the addition of the fun pillar NHS became more than just an academic honor. NHS became a community of students with similar priorities, achieving their goals while having a good time .

NHS members shared many memories together during the induction ceremony, service projects, and other unifying activities. Historian Anna Wishart said, "We are all so close together, more than any other year."

Students are not alone in making up a school. The behind the scenes work is often the hardest , most important, and the most rewarding. This is best displayed by the administrators and counselors of Southeast.

Principal Dr. Patrick Hunter-Pirtle defined his role at Southeast, "I believe my most important job is to provide a vision for the school. Where are we going this year, and where will we be in five years? I also believe I set the tone for how students should be treated and educated in th is school."

The administrators and counselors made this school what it is with the help and guidance they gave the students. "We are listeners and givers of Kleenex," counselor Sally O'Neill said.

Counseling team leader

Kathi Thaden listed over 30 activities when asked to define her duties at LSE, and counselor Bill Beard said that his job was "to help students reach their fullest potential."

Counselors and administrators do not have it easy. They sometimes work even harder than the students do in order to run this school. "When you have the number of activities that we are involved in, you are constantly dealing with people and hopefully creating a positive environment for all," said Associate Director of Athletics Mike Rasmussen. Do not be fooled!

· Although adults may seem like they are all about discipline, having fun is important too. When Sue Cassata was asked what she liked most about' her job, she replied, " Two things: students and laughter." O'Neill interjected , "K IDS! My

students give me energy and keep my mind moving."

Every administrative staff member has their own special stories about their times at Southeast. Jeff Stoehr shared his with a couple of students. "Word to the wise: When you first get hired in administration by a school , make sure you know the words to the school fight song. If you do not know the words and you happen to sing them wrong at an LSE football game your administrative coworkers will NEVER let you forget it."

The administrative staff members are full of skills put to use when helping, comforting, advising, guiding, and yes, disciplining, Southeast ' s students. They made sure everything ran smoothly and we have them to thank for the numerous smiles seen in the halls every day.

Whether it is sorting out passes or cleaning up the hallways, many people operate the little details in our lives at school. From the cafeteria to the library, approximately thirty staff members dedicate their days to working behind the scenes.

The office ladies work answering telephone calls, dealing with parking issues, and making announcements. They keep the students informed and "set a good example for the student body," stated Ane Banwell, main office receptionist.

The librarians not only . offer their help when students come into the library to do research, but also assist in the computer

lab, organize displaysand check out books.

You see them in the halls, at athletic events, and in classrooms; they are the Southeast janitors. "The cleanliness of the building and the safety of the students and staff," stated Pat Heckman, "are the main objectives to being a janitor here at LSE."

Heckman left Southeast in January to become the head custodian at North Star High School and Todd Scherer took over the supervision of the custodial staff.

It is almost lunchtime, and the lunch ladies are hard at work preparing for the rush of hungry high-schoolers. "I feel we provide one of the most important services here at LSE. We feed kids, so they can learn," said Barb

Sandusky, cafeteria manager. With nutritious breakfasts and Iu nches, students can focus on school instead of on a growling stomach.

The attendance office takes phone calls from parents reporting students ' absences. They also inform parents of tardies and truancies.

The nurses are here to serve anyone feeling ill. They provide basic services such as distributing medication, applying bandages, and allowing students to lay down and rest.

The support staff works hard day in and day out to enhance the environment of LSE. They are here before the first students enters and long after the last one goes home.

What do students do when they are ti red of sitting down reading, writing and solving equations? They stand up and take a bow, learning the proper way in one of the drama classes offered at Southeast. There are three different drama classes to choose from, Acting, Advanced Acting, or Technical Theater.

Any student can sign up for acting, regard less of experience or talent. Students learn about improvisation and the proper techniques to stage voice and movement. Acting teaches students the basic terminology of the stage , and gives them a sample at directing and scene work. "We work on keeping focus and not losing concentration," commented junior Eric Tesmer.

In order to be in

IlG.FIIS

Advanced Acting , students first take the Acting class. "In Advanced Acting, the focus is all on performance" explained Drama teacher

Carol Svoboda, "with emphasis on prodution second semester. " Students work to strengthen their acting techniques and performance while concentrating on details such as character development.

"It's more hands on, we get to actually do it, instead of just learning about it, " proclaimed sophmore Mitch Werner.

In technical theater students learn the basic aspects of running a theater. . They learn the language used in the theater, and then apply it to the stage. Students learn what certain tools are used for, and how to use them properly. They learn to work the curtains, how to create the lighting effects, and how to work the soundboard. Students are also taught to

maintain the stage, and keep it in working order.

Technical theater students are responsible for the "behind the scenes" work in all Southeast productions Of the stage, senior Aaron Aldridge said "I just like being there, it's a good place , a cool place to be."

In addition to teaching all three drama classes, Svoboda also directed th is year's one act play , "The Little Prince. " " It was tons of fun, " exclaimed junior Sarah Mason. The Little Prince took runner-up in districts , competing against seven other schools. "It was a bittersweet feeling, knowing we only lost by a couple of points ," commented senior Nate Weiss. " The fact that we went to districts after only a week of practicing is amazing. The cast really came together nicely in only a week. "

E-!X INDIVIDUALITY

Club: (n.) an asso c iation of people united in the pursuance of a common interest.

A brand new club day came to Southea st once a month thi s year. Dan Hohensee divised a computer program that organized club day passes and attendance. Club passes were issued the day before informing students of the activities that would be taking place. Southeast offered a club for every individual. If there wasn't a club that suited your interests you weren't looking hard enough. Clubs supplied students with a time they could associate with people that shared their interests forming new friendships , improvin g the community , being entertained , and just having a good time.

by Jennifer Cottrell and Kelly Dolan

Between the controversie s of government and culture , there were clubs which allowed ever y one to express their opinions , learn more , and broaden their views. Student Vote allowed every student at Southeast to voice their opinions within the means of a mock voting poll. Students voted on issues varying from Nebraska ' s governor to creating the observation of Lewis and Clark Day.

From the individual votes cast to the overall opinion of the US citizens, a group of 33 students along with their new advisor Dave Nebel studied the constitution , wrote responses to three topics along with becoming prepared for every imaginable question a judge could fire at them. We the People members soon found themselves grasping the winning trophy at the state competition and studied harder before they took off for Washington D C. in late April to compete in the WePo nationals.

Drummers who wanted to drum, actors who wanted to act, singers who want to sing, and dancers who wanted to dance could become members of Drum Club, Thalians and Thespians, All Male Choir, and Breakdance Club. But these clubs weren't just for students who already did these things; they were also for students wno wanted to explore and find out what these activities were all about.

Drum Club pounded their drums to fill the gymnastic room with beats every club day and have been since its conception in 2000. Junior Craig Conger said "We usually sit arouna and play difterent types of percussion instruments. We study rliythm and sometimes have guest drummers come in and perform."

Thalians and Thespians is the school's drama club. Junior Tyson Jurgens said, "Thalians and Thespians allows people interested in theater to meet and learn about the dram a department." The drama club provided students with interests in acting, technical theater, and behind the scenes, a chance to talk about pursuing these careers. Some of their activities included attending the International Thespian Festival with other Nebraska liigh schools and helping with Southeast shows.

"All Male Choir (AMC) allows guys to get together that may not particularly be involved in other Southeast choirs and gives them a chance to sing," said senior Zach Peterson. Some of the guys in this club are in other choirs wnile other guys joined because they like to sing. Peterson was in AMC last year and that

got him interested in singing in choir so when a spot opened up in thE varsity choir Bel Canto, he changed hi : schedule so he could be a part of i this year.

Breakdance Club was organizec in 2000. This club had around 7: members this year and was led b, president, senior Scott Piper. "Th~ best part of this club is the music anc the ability for members to just expres: themselves in an enviroment when they can be themselves and enjo, breakdancing with other interestec students," saia sponsor Jeff Smith. by Jennifer Cottre l

Students involved with Key Club, V ' s Kids , Saratoga Peer Pals, Southeast Pal's and Bridges met on every club day to discuss volunteering plans. They reached out and helped with many different projects. Whether it's Key Club jump roping, V's Kids sponsoring a Halloween party, or Bridges Club assisting those at Tabitha , they all made a difference in other peoples lives, by making a lot of people happier then they otherwise wou Id have been. The services they provided were greatly appreciated by everyone.

V's Kids sponsors Victorious Kids. Victorious Kids was an organization that befriended and assisted children in the community who were in need. They have done numerous things for the community including hosting a Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day party for the children of Cedars Home. In addition the club sponsored a needy family in order to give them a better Christmas. Lisa Herman , president of V's Kids describes taking the food and gifts to their adopted family as "very emotional" and stated , "The kids didn ' t think they were going to get what they wanted, and they did. It was very cool."

Key Club improves the world around us, by showing that people

really could make a difference in the world On February 7, club members jumped rope as long as they could-to collect pledges to send to the Children's Miracle Network.

Bridges Club made an effort to make sure they all visited Tabitha _ Nursing Home at least twice a month. The support they gave to Tabitha made a difference for the people there.

Southeast Pals Club worked to break down social barriers between students with disabilities and the rest of the student body.

Southeast-Saratoga Peer Pals Club is a club that assisted with Saratoga Elementary school. They helped out at the Rec. Center often, played with the kids and even supervised activities and games. Some members went numerous times each week. They also planned parties to th row for the children, including Halloween and Christmas parties.

These club members should feel deeply honored they had the chance to make such a difference in so many peoples lives.

When it comes to Southeast's Math Club , Chess Club, Rocket Club , and Science Olympiad the titles pretty much say it all. These clubs illustrate the drive to learn and experiment in new ways.

Not only were these club members smart, but they were confident, motivated, and shared a passion for learning and expanding their minds. Whetner it was solving page-long math equations in a time limit, playing one of the most wellknown board games of all ti me, building a rocket , or making a model airplane fly, these clubs offered something for everyone.

Soutneast's Math Club was sponsored by Chris Cay and participated in several competitions throughout the school year. "Math Club is a competition oriented club. We compete at UNL's Math Day, sponsor the AMC 12 exam at LSE, and attend various other competitions in Nebraska yearly," stated Cay. "This year our team was excited to win first place at the Doane Tri-Math Ion We also had a two members place in the top ten at Math Day." All the studying, hard work, and dedication paid off for each of the Math Club members.

For students who enjoy a challenging, yet fun game to play on club days, Chess Club was just the right piece. Students gathered for a class period to strategize and compete against fellow masterminds.

Rocket Club was a fairly new club at Southeast beginning only three years ago. Senior Carl Kacvinsky founded the club, " I just found a whole bunch of people that wanted to build rockets and got them together, we could blow stuff up in a safe environment." Club members designed and bu iIt bottle rockets on club day.

Another science-related club was Science Olympiad, sponsored by science department chairman, Randy Emry. A group of hard-working students competed in the State Competition and took home the top award, then went on to compete at the National level.

Within the stressful school year students found a way to retreat and rediscover their inner-self. Through such club activities as literature, art, photography, yoga and relaxation techniques students made memories, had fun, and expressed their creativity.

Roundtable Club, a writing organization, worked on creative writing pieces. Roundtable members all submitted an original piece to "From the Depths," tne LSE creative writing magazine .

Art Club ' s focus this year was discussing creative art work and introducing the opportunities available for aspiring artists. Art Club member , sophomore Blane Cropp said, "I enjoy any art-related activities , it's fun to hang out with friends while doing something we enjoy."

Capturing that Kodak moment was the goal of this year's Photography Club. Members were found around town taking the perfect shots of friends, activities and other inspirations.

Stretching into nirvana, members of yoga club meditated to prepare themselves for the day. Senior Liz Voelker said, " Yoga is a tool that encourages tranquility, enhances flexibility and refreshes the body through breathing and stretching."

S.L.E.E.P Club, an acronym for Study and Learn to Ease and Eliminate

Pressure , was another popular club th is year allowing students to forget their stress from school activities and life ' s demands. Students learned relaxation techniques and how to handle stress

Students involved in various clubs found themselves writing beautiful pieces, creating glorious artwork , capturing the perfect moment on film , anc:I then allowing themselves to relax and be refreshed while at the same time making friends and having fun.

Self- confidence, individuality, being yourself, and having an impact on others. Breakdown, Impact, Teen Issues and Leadership clubs gave students the opportunity to explore the adult within and learn their self-worth.

Members of Impact had the experience of educating younger students about the harmful effects of drugs and substance abuse. "We had the opportunity to visit several elementary schools," stated senior Chelsea Price, "We played games with students, while delivering the message that being drug-free is cool."

Students involved in Breakdown were dedicated to fighting bigotry bias, racism and stereotyping by encouraging communication. On club days there was special emphasis placed on diversity months and days.

Teens Issues was a club devoted to students' sense of reality. This year many speakers visited the group and discussed serious topics that affect students today. "There was a tremendous student body turn out," exclaimed junior Joanie Thelen. For the future leaders in the

world , Leadership club offere guidance on how to be a confide, and effective leader. They enhance their skills of organization and ha many chances to impact others' live

Many clubs at LSE provided students with the opportunity to prepare themselves for a future career while others like Dave Matthews Band Club simply express personal interests.

DECA is one of the most wellknown clubs at Southeast. The marketing based club sponsored many fundraisers such as the MDA walk, which raised money for the Muscular Dydtrophy Association, and lollipop sales. Each year the club competes in DECA districts and state. They outscored the other high schools and stole first place at Districts. "You get to meet a lot of new people from across the county as well as networking opportunities and a chance to build character and leadership skills," said senior DECA president Chloe Sweet. lnvesters Club offered students the opportunity to practice and study investment. Club sponsor Mr. Floyd Doughty explained, "The clubs purpose is to promote interest and awarness in investing and personal investing as well as financial careers."

In Dave Matthews Band Club, members shared one interest. Dave Matthews. "He has a different kind of music that connects with different kinds of people," said sophomore Mark Schumacher. They not only listened to the music and did community service too, just like the band.

Tl NG (Teachers In the Next Generation) gave students the chance to learn all about being a teacher. In December the club traveled to Wesleyan to tour the campus and got to sit in on a college class. Anotner club activity involved talking to a panal of elementary education teachers. Their club shirts say it all, " To teach is to touch lives forever."

Future Business Leaders of America ( FBLA ) was devoted to leadership and community activites. In FBLA students gained skills they needed to be successful in the business world.

Whether you see them on the court, out in Lincoln 's parks, or in the grass, members of Southeast's Athletic , Skate , Hackey Sack, and Croquet Club all share one common interest: the love of activity.

The LSE Athletic Club not only met on club day but extended meetings to the gym and field. They sold the programs at all athletic events, volunteered their support with the Special Olympics, and set a good example as the athletes of Southeast.

Skaters at Southeast have found a home in Skate Club. This club gave skaters, either newcomers or veterans, a chance to break out the wheels and take a crack at the halfpipe. "On club day, members had the opportunity to take trips to local skate parks to practice and enjoy skating," commented senior Tim Smith. The club skated on club days at Lincoln area skate parks such as A&R Skate Center and Peter Pan Park.

If you walked into the gym on any club day, you would have found Hackey Sack Club. The members divided up into small circles to kick around the hacky sack in the relaxed atmosphere. lt was a place for students to come and learn either how to do basic tricks or those that were more difficult.

"Wicket, whack it fun!" was the motto of the Southeast Croquet Club. On club day, members warked out to the field carrying their mallets,

ready for a fun-filled hour of croquet.

" I' d have to say the people in the club and their ability to be totally outrageous has made croquet club so awesome this year," said copresident Liz Alderson. Sean Parks, the club's treasurer, added, "p laying croquet and having fun is what Croquet Club is all about."

So when all the books were put away and all the rules of the classroom were gone, Southeast students just wanted to have fun. Whether they enjoyed playing on a athletic team, playing croquet or hackey sack, or just skating around, they craved activity.

From mediators who helped resolve conflicts to debaters who thrived in competition, from students who were interested in how the mind works, to students who are interested in dissecting the mind, clubs and groups at Southeast offered a wide variety of outlets for students to explore the world and themselves. A few of those organizations included Medical Club, Psychology Club, Student Mediators, Mock Trial, and Forensics.

Medical Club offered students a chance to explore the medical field and the possibilities of futures in that area of study. Students learned about different medical topics from experts and their annual trip to the cadaver lab at UNL. Senior co-President Shervin Razavian commented, "Medical Club was an awesome experience for me, being able to hear first hand what advice various health care professionals had to give us."

Moving from body to mind, Psychology Club was once again one of the more popular clubs at LSE. At any typical club meeting, an observer would see that nothing about the meeting was typical. Different experiments or tests were given to the members each club day as examples of how complex the mind and human behavior really are. Psych Club member senior Frances Schoonveld said, "I've always been interested in psychology, and Psych Club opened up doors for me to experience it in a fun and new way."

For those who would rather debate the morality of stem cell research rather than study it, LSE offered a great forensic program. Consisting of Speech and Debate , students who enjoyed competitions of wit and persuasion, as well as a little performance, could build and enhance their skills in the Forensics program.

Mock Trial existed for those who were interested in studying and learning about aspects of law and the presentation of court cases. Students prepared a trial, then competed against other schools.

The mediator program of Southeast, the only one in Lincoln high schools, was once again a shining star of LSE. The group of peers who dedicated their timeto helping others resolve their conflicts were more than happy to do so. Senior Anna Wishart said, "It was a great feeling being able to help other students. Plus, we became great friends as mediators because we spent so much time together."

So whether it was examining a cadaver, exploring the effects of group conformity, del:iating the topic of capital punishment, or helping two students resolve a conflict, students at Southeast were given the opportunity to explore and tune their skills. All this thanks to the variety of clubs and organizations that the Southeast community had to offer.

Who doesn't love to sit around and watch TV and movies? The only thing that can possibly make veggin' out better, other then great snacks, was being with friends and getting out of class. LuckiTy, many clubs al l ow this simpl e pleasure.

Film Club made its debut this year, drawing students who shared a love of movies. "It's a great opportunity to come in and fraternize abo ut films. W e watch some shorts and t her e are movie days outside of class," explained junior Sam Berndt, co-founder of the club.

The club organized a Film Festival which "providea an opportunity for a variety of student groups to make movies and showcase them," junior cofounder and leader Neil Rutledge stated.

The purpose of Anime Club is to " expand on the knowledge of Japanese culture through animation," said senior co-president Nick Langtry. In addition to club day viewings, students attended quarterly marathons, where they watched videos for five or more hours straight. In the spring they held an Anime sale, which was basically a "garage sale" of anime memorabilia.

Friends Club was an excuse to "take a breather in the middle of your busy week" said leader Lori Byrd. "There are a lot of clubs at Southeast that get your brain working, our club gave people a chance to relax." The 214 members took turns enjoying their favorite show, with one grade attending club each meeting day.

The first duo day posed a huge decision for Historical Documentaries Club members as they decided on their viewing for the year: ' "Bio-dome," "Empire Records,' and "Brave Heart." While these movies may not be typica l historical documentaries, junior founder and president Doug Maize explained that they are historical oecause they were made in

the past, and they're a documentar because they tell a story.

Sci-fi Club watched movies with science fiction theme. "Sci Fi a great du to be in, one of the best. The sponsor i cool and you get to meet new ~uys an 1 girls. We watcn television, and its simplE [ike in Anime the movies are in JapanesE here its in English, " junior Rod ne Nauden explained.

In the midst of all the breakdancing, sleep, and Dave Matthews, club day offers students a chance to expand on their religious beliefs. Campus Life, Bible Study, Jewish Bible Study, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes were the peaceful eye of the club day storm.

Clubs affiliated with religion were not necessarily sitting in Church, however. "We are a Christian organization that has a lot of fun and talks about things important to young people , " said campus life leader Andy Eisenmann. "We play sports, hang out, and even went on a snowboarding trip." Being around other students in a Christian atmosphere has made a difference in Eisenmann. "I noticed a huge change in myself after I joined Campus Life. I felt a lot closer to God and a lot closer to my peers. "

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, or "FCA", was a melting pot for athletes from all different sports. Nebraska football players frequented FCA throughout the year to give their testimonials. The visits were a popular attraction of the club. "Last year I signed up for FCA so I could meet Eric Crouch," said senior Cole McManigal. In addition to club day, the group meets every Thursday evening for

"huddle meetings" at a member's house to study Bible verses. Senior golfer Annie Gustafson noted, "The goal of FCA is to transfer religious beliefs onto the playing field."

In Bible Study, leaders held their own meetings every Monday to make plans for club discussions, worship, and speakers. The group also sponsered a family in need through a partnership with Saratoga Elementary. Senior Somer Sloan reccomends the club to others. "Going to Bible study was great because you build strong bonds with others in a positive environment."

The Jewish faith studies the first five books of the Old Testament, known as the "Torah." Jewish Bible Study was introduced to club day during second semester. Junior Kaitlyn Hedrick joined the club despite not being Jewish. "I wanted to be supportive of my friends who started the club," Hedrick said. "We learned to play dredle and it's interesting learning and being open to different religions and ideas."

Throughout Southeast, students were banding together through clubs, in support of each others beliefs, morals, and ideas on life and personal decisions.

Students for Choice had a busy year, hosting an event every club day. The club believed every person was equal and therefore did not have club officers. At the beginning of the year the students as a whole r.Tanned each club day of the year. 'I'm proud of Southeast students who support all people's right to choose," stated club sponsor Kerstin Vandervoort. Vandervoort was proud of the many activities including speakers, making valentines for Planned Parenthooa, and writing letters to the congressmen supRorting pro-choice legislation.

Taking part in The Chain of Life and visiting The Tomb of the Unborn Child were highlights for members of Students for Lite. Tony Ojeda, candidate for the Board of Regents for UN-L discussed his pro-life stance and political achievements on the November club day. "Mr. Ojeda helped us reaffirm our pro-life identity," commented club president senior Ben Kohn.

Students for Peace members attended the Peace rally and the Martin Luther King Jr. rally in early January. The members planned and presented the Fourth Annual Benefit Knight to support a world peace cause. At their November meeting former Southeast teacher Casey Burton spoke to the club about her experience as a

Peace Corps volunteer in China. GLBST A students promoted th , acceptance of a person's sexua preferance. With speakers an, activities the students showed suppo1 for ~~ch others' opinions on personc decisions.

Members of Adoption gathered ti support each other and discuss hov their lives were affected by adoptior The students talked about their view and opinions as to how it affecte, them and their life.

Whether supporting each other o gathering to share common idea~ Southeast students stood beside thei morals and beliefs.

"Champions do not become champions when they win their event but in the hours, weeks, months, and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely a demonstration of their championship character."

Boys Cross Cou•try sweats it out

Running through Pioneers Park, up hirls and down hills, the Southeast boys cross country team sweats it out in the heat and freezes in the snow, stopping only to take a swallow of water. "We run, sweat, and occasionally fall over at practice," said sophomore Tyler Welton. Welton's favorite part of running cross country was "the endurance that you build, it makes other tasks seem easier."

"The hardest part is balancing my schedule," said Cameron Smith named the 2 002 outstanding cross country runner on the boys team by the coaches.

The team runs between four and ten miles at practice after school. By the end of the season they know every curve, bump, and rise on the Pioneer trail. They identify landmarks with slang names such as Choochoo Hill, Pinewood Bowl and the Oven.

They outscored their opponents 355 to 90 points, ended the season with a record of 12 - 1, and became the 2002 Class A State Championship football team. The Knights proved that they could carry on the school's strong tradition of excellence on the football field. "Winningstate is always the goal at Southeast, anything less would be a disappointment. We achieved tliatgoal by becoming a family on t:ne field," said Jeff Carr, senior linebacker "We don't need to get pumped for a game because we were born for th is stuff," exclaimed senior captain Matt Mullen. At two-a-day practices in early August, everyday after school, ana for 48 minutes almost every Friday night, they we~e just a bunch of friends tossing the football around. They may nave been born with a love for the game and a desire to win, but Coach Chuck Mizerski said, ''You can't look down the road, because if you do, you ' ll never get there."

The road to the playoffs started against other Lincoln teams that were only able to score a combined ten points against the Knights. They kept driving the ball forward until the Creignton Prep game, where the Knights lost super-state quarterback senior Nick Bahe and the game. Many players agreed that this was the one thing

that they wish they could have changed about the season.

But the next week it was a whole new ball game. Coach Mizerski got the team fired up with one of his pep talks and the P,layers still followed their game aay superstitions. Junior linesman

Zach Copple said, "If I don't walk the same way to each class, it just doesn't feel right." This weekly routine led to a win in Norfolk and continued wins all the way to the championship.

everyday realizing they had to improve and stay focused. Junior quarterback Zac Rabe said, " We put a lot of faith in each other and truly believed we had the talent to win state."

November 22nd was a bi~ night for the Knights at UNL s Memorial Stadium. They faced off against the Millard North Mustan~ for the state championship. It was a close ~ame to the very end and "itdidn thitme that we were actually going to win," said senior linebacl<er Mike Pease. The Knights came out on top by a couple of inches and one

very crucial point. After missing a field goal attempt in the firs t quarter, junior kicl<er Tony Youn g made the extra point followin g the Knight's only touchdown. Overall it was an excellen t football season. " When there was no ti me left on the clock, I looked at the scoreboard: Millard North 6, the Southeast Knights 7," said Copple.

JV/Reserve

football go for the goal

Eleven guys on a field all reaching for one goal, "to be city champs" reserve Coach John Larsen exclaimed. The two hours of practice every day after school were ai m ed at achieving this goal. The city championship lingered in the players' heads throughout the season, although they couldn't look past any regular season matches, which were stepping stones on this path to success.

It was also junior varsity's goal to be city champions and with team unity they accomplished it. This season the junior varsity team had the opportunity to practice with the varsity squad. Practices for their games were incorporated into the the varsity's practices. "The season was a challenge for us, but ended on a good note with a win over Pius" stated JV player Tom Gift.

By demonstrating skill be-

yond their level, some reserve and JV players were privileged to practice with varsity or suit up for the varsity games. The football tradition at LSE is continued by reserve and JV play-

ers stepping and filling the shoes of graduating seniors.

"The whole emphasis is to motivate players so they can move up to JV or varsity," stated Coach Larsen. The

three football teams make u a program associated wit excellence year after year. by

Girls Golf play great. OU a11a off the course

It was a crisp fall afternoon as fourteen girls 61ugging matching black ags, ventured onfo the green grass of the golf course. They giggled and laughed as they pulred their clu5s from the!r bags, carefully_lining up their shots and taking practice swings. Then, one by one, they finished their warm up and began their individual competitions. As the first girl stepped up to the first hole , she focused her eyes on a distant point and imagined the cheers produced after she shoots a hole-in-one. She then turned her attention to the small grooved ball sitting_ on the tee. She lined up ~her swing and with a distinct 'pwing' sound sent the ball flying through the air

towards the hole.

Th us began another

round of th~ girls golf season.

Unity, respect, communication. Tnese were just some of the goals for the 2002 girls varsity softball team. As the season progressed these girls showed that Southeast continued to be a strong team. The girls learned the value of teamwork and the potiential there was on and off the field. They focused on winning their games and tournaments but also provided each other with support on and off the field.

Many improvements were made throughout the season. "The girls have · learned to focus on the game better and become more opportunistic during the games," said Coacn Gene Lessman.

Softball is not only a physical game but each player has to mentally prepare as well. Before the start of each game the girls lay on their stomachs in left or right field to talk about the game. Sophomore Bailey Dawson explained that the team learned "to take games one at a ti me and not rook ahead or past anybody."

The team worked hard to win city and districts. Southeast qualified for State and placed 3rd overall. Although

they didn 't win , the girls are proud they"finally came together as a team at the end of fhe year," explained senior Ashley Weyers.

Each player contributed to the team's strength and success. Senior Dana Wertz was named the top pitcher in Class A, sophomore Bailey Dawson was the top catcher in Class A, and sophomore Courtney Hoogeveen was one of die top players both

A:uttc:ipatio:u

offensively and defensively. Wertz broke the career shutout record with 6 7 shutouts. She said that "the team couldn't have done a whole lot better because we had such a successful year."

The season was not only about playing games, but also having fun. At the end of the season some of the players teepeed Coach Lessman 's and assistant Coach Cline's houses. They had to clean up

the huge mess but senior Kat HoweIT-Burke said they ha more fun cleaning the me~ up than actually making it. Not only was the seaso memorable due to the team success but because Coa c Lessman announced hi retirement after ten season~ The LSE softball team close a successf ul season an Lessmen's career.

Even during the hot sum mer days the girls toughed it out. Once the season got into swing the JV team nad a total of 34 games, which included many double headers and reserve team mates had 1 5.

Team support and unity made a tremendous difference. Coach Tim Tidball said, "This team has continued to grow as a unified team cfisplaying the ability to function as a supportive team in what is seen as an individual sport."

"We are all out there for one another," junior Eric Tesmer said.

Boys JV/ Reserve Teiu1is ao]lliJlate

Tennis balls were flyin' once again during the fall of this year, as the JV and reserve boys tennis teams served, returned, and scored their way to number one. This was nothing out of the ordinary however , the boys JV team won city for the 12th year in a row.

Led by first year coach, Sherrie Manning, the JV team wanted nothing less than the best and to continue the dominance that has become associated with · Southeast tennis. "Going undefeated in JV meets and winning city, and basically just playing our best, we're our main goals," said Manning. And that's exactly what the team did.

The team was able to overcome every JV team they faced this year; and lost only to Waverly and Lincoln Christian's varsity teams. The guys finished their season with a huge victory over East in the LPS tournament.

The team's main hurdle to overcome for the season was

Whenever they crossed the Platte river on road they woud " throw a ball into the Platte for good luck, " according to sopnomore Tim Berger.

Overall, the team was very

happy with its progress thi ~ year. Each player als c guaranteed that they woul d work hard and strive t o uphold the Southeast tenni s tradition of winning.

A WiJUlillg routtue

Seven seniors, two juniors, one sophomoref two coaches, ONE TEAM. The 2002 varsity volleyball team set standards that no other vollexball team in Southeast history has, entering the state tournament undefeated.

Pass, set, hit, score it became a routine. Head coach Kathi Wieskamp started every practice the same way, with a three r;>erson passing drill. 'Practices were always intense and we got a lot done. It was never boring going to practice with a 5uncn of great girls you love spending time with," commenfed senior MeganHill. On Mondays the girls ran sprints improving tneir agility and speed, utilized in games to chase down the volleyball.

The team executed a customarY game preparation before al I matches. lt began the night before witn a pre-game feast hosted by one of the Rlayers. The girls came to school dressed in their team attire consisting of U-Knight-ed multi-colored t-shirfs and 2002 gray athletic shorts or on rare occasion black spandex.

As game time approached the feam performed a [?ump-it up cheer. Superstitions ruled warmups, ev~rything had to follow a specific pattern. The players peppered (bump-

set-spike) with the same partner, started in the same spot for team warm-up, lined up in numerical order to be introduced to the audience , gave high fives for good luck ro the opponent and before the first whistle blew they gathered on center court to say " Ahh kick butt" esta_blishin'g a winning routine.

The routine wasn ' t broken u nti I the state semi-finals against Omaha Marian when tne Knights suffered their first

The Bellevue tournament , Lincoln Public Schools tournament Northeast tournament, Conference, and District champions were onlY, a few of the varsity girls ' accomplishments. Senior Robyn Stokke credited the team's success to " [their] confidence in each other's ability, we trusted each

other. "

Although the defeat again Omaha Marian broke the habit of winning, it didn break their friendship "W had a great time throughOl the fall, and built gre, friendships, " senior cc cagtain Tara Tesmer said 'We are a great team wit ten players that ar_e great an stars at some porn[," state Wieskamp

They giggle and laugh before games. They begin to concentrate during warmups. But as soon as tne game whistle cuts through the air, their attitude changes. They are no longer giddy teenage girls, they are volleyball players, and they mean business.

The JV team had an amazing season, but junior Jaime Loos reflected the team's work ethic and expectations when she stated that theY. "did very well, but we could have had a better record."

Junior Courtney Stahl explained that the team "had to dig ourselves out of holes all tne time." ·

· But the team's many victories came from the way they "worked hard day in and day out and never quit trying' junior Mandy Andreas explained.

Part of the teams' success came from the actions they took to prepare themselves for each game. Loos said, "We did the Pep-C before the games to pump us up."

Junior Katie Philippi described the Pep-C. Tne team "would jump in a circle and do a countdown." She went on to say that the teams "gaterboot was lucky."

The reserve team also had an outstanding season, sophomore Tessa Peters was "very happy with our season, we started off great and only had three loses!"

Sophomore Kelly Schleiger felt that this record was created by "playing together as a team and being able

to communicate."

The season success also came from being able to "forget mistakes ana move onto fhe next play," sophomore Alison Smith stated.

To help forget their mistakes, the team would "tell people to shake it off, always yell side out and cheer when

a good play was made, '' explained sophomor E Melissa Kilgore.

Whether it was a home or away game, the guys knew what nad to be aone, and they seldom left anything unfinished. Senior guard Joey Stenberg commented , " I knew that everyone on the floor was giving their all for the success of tne team ."

The success was evident in their 21-3 record this year. "We set our sights high from the outset of the season: attaining the first state title. Everyday we practiced with intensity and focus because everyday was one step closer to perfection," Stenberg added.

No matter who the Knights faced , they seemed to nave the confidence they needed to win They gained team unity from team dinners before games, huddling UP., and diving on the floor after the starters were an nou need.

The road to the state tournament was a hard one. They defeated Northeast and Omaha Burke to capture the District Championship, opening a door that would possibly lead to

a state championship. Defeating both Millard West and Omaha Ben son in the first two rounds of the state tournament set the Knights up for a showdown witn Lincoln High. Having already played and won against the Links twice, the "nights stepped onto the court with their heads high and their coach's words in their minds. "Coach Smith always told us this was our year , we were the best team,

and he would take thi s to the grave , " stated senior Eddie Medlin.

With the Knights shutting out the Link s during the first quarter , they went into the locker room with a 20-1 4 lead. All that was left to do was to play the best they could for 16 minutes and the championship was theirs. In the end, the Knights fell to LHS. "The e xcitement in basketbal I comes from the uncertainty of the outcome.

The be st or the most talente teams are never assure vi ctory ," Stenberg sta t ed .

During the season , the boys learned how to get along and cooperate in a competitive team situation, and built relationships with their teammates as they won their wa~ to fame.

' The two most important aspects of the LSE basketball system are outstanding motion offense and stifling pressure during man to man defense. The players began to realize their potential," said Reserve coach J.J. Wilkins. '' The players learned how to compete and execute both offensively and defensively in tight games. " ·

wiu first state title stuce 1997

~ot only was their goal to win state, the Girls Varsity Basketball team wanted it al I. They wanted to become one, a unit, a single TEAM and this goal was quickly accomplished. "They have willed themselves together as a team," stated nead coach John Larsen. They have gone beyond the traditional pep-talk before leaving the locker room. Before each game the girls shared a · ainner, rotating between houses. Larsen nosted the final meal before the first of their three state games. The team continued shaping their unity by singing ''That Thing You Do" as they made their way to the court.

Senior Tatum Thies was the .only returning starter from last year and one of only four returning members of the varsity team. Larsen was very excited about the ~ay they molded together into a team, and lost any individual jealousy. He even noted that sometimes the girls were too conscious of fhe team and forgot that they

were individuals, even to the point of giving up shots to ensure everyone had a chance to shoot. Larsen was pleased with his team's progress, but it was upsetting to lose the final game of their regular season. They pressed on into the district games and proved their worthiness to be on the court. After two

The Reserve and Junior Varsity girls basketball teams finishecftheir seasons strongi achieving records of 8-5 ana 12-5 respectively.

The Reserve girls strategy for winning games incluaed keeping people open on offense as mucH as possible and pullin,g together towards the end orthe game to take the win.

"We just had fun played our best, and used what we learned at gractice," said sophomore Sarah Bailey.

.

At practice the players concentrated on ballhanc;Hing skills, shooting, and passin_g.

"We did a lot of running and conditioning to keep up in shape for the games and I think it helped us out in the long run," responded sopnomore Nicole Rathbun.

The Reserve team Qlaced second at the LPS Toumament, proving that they had a very rewarding season.

"The most rewarding part of this season for me was that I developed better skills and became a better team player," said sophomore Kelse_y Odenbach.

The Junior Varsity girls used hard work, gooa aefense and communication to conquer their opponents.

"We tried to push the ball as much as possible and always support each other on the court," commented junior Alison Hill. "We worked together really well."

Some team traaitions consisted of praying before each game and listening to music while they warmed up.

"The most rewarding part of the season was at the end of the year seeing how we have al I grown as oasketball pl~ers and frienqs/ said junior Bradi Hotz-McMahon.

"I got to meet a lot of new people and we had a lot of fun,' said sophomore Tagney Jones

They arrive at school before sun up and leave after sun down, these boys never get to see the Iight of day. "Getting up at 5: 00a. m. every morning for practice is the most challenging part of the season," said senior co-captain Chase Taylor. The swim team is proud of their extensive hours of practice and refer to themselves as the "brothers and sisters of darkness."

Senior captains Andrew Olive and Taylor led the boys in and out of the pool. Olive was the boys top finisher at the state meet placing third in the Individual Medley (IM) and second in the breaststroke. Olive joined Taylor and teammates junior Kyle Masek and sophomore Nick Hartman on the 200 Medley relay team which placed sixth at State. Their success was the result of intense preparation. At practice, the team recorded around 5,000

yards. Meet warm-up was crucial to a strong race. The team chanted, "Ziggy Zoggy oye, oye, oye , " before tne competition began.

Off the pool deck the boys spent time playing poker and glittering door signs for the girls' team. It is a tradition that the boys decorate the girls' rooms and the girls

"We knewthisyeartha had a small team and tha1 would not be front-runm said Olive, "but it's still ( to see how kids h improved."

Beginning in the middle of November, the girls swimming/diving team were at school more than the staff Most chose to participate in an optional 5:30 a.m. practice and everyone was found in the rool each day after school from 3: 00 to 5:30 P..m. Wet arms and legs, freezing hair, and purple lips became routine for these dedicated fish at heart. Their efforts were noted as both school and pool records fell.

Seniors Kelly Dolan and · Cassie Hansen were the swimming and diving team captains. "Swimming combines the individual ana team sport environment, Dolan commented. "You are always racing against the clock, but team points are most important."

Each team member had individual drive that benefitted the overall team in the long run. "This year our team was really focused and everyone worked really hard," said Hansen crediting the team's accomplishments. The team set numerous pool records at Lincoln Southwest when

they swam in the first meet ever held at Lincoln's newest high school.

Sophomore Ali Bartle, a state qualifier in the 500 freestyle, accomplished several goals, including a personal best in the 200 and 500 freestyle at Conference.

"The most difficult part of the season was the week before Conference, we had some

really hard practices, and I was trying to get mentally pr~pared to do well," Bartle said.

Sophomore state qualifier Ashley Durand swam the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke. She said, "I love the rush you get when you are standing benind the lane ready to race."

The team was very successf u I at State, finishing fifth in

the team competition. Durand broke the school record in the 100 breaststroke while teammate junior Haley Bonin recorded a new record in the 50 freestyle.

Wrestlers take it to the Jllats

There were high hopes for the 2003 Lincoln Southeast wrestling team coming off a 2002 campaign in which the young team sent three members to state and gained experience. Unfortunately, the opening of Lincoln Southwest caused participation to dwindle, and when all was said and done LSE only fielded a team of 12. In the past the numbers had exceeded 40.

However, a drop in wrestlers did not mean a drop in enjoyment or preparation for the Southeast team. Senior captain Cody Foreman felt the best part of the year was, "Finally being able to just have fun, messing around as a team and still being able to get things done in the practice room." After school practices included an endless amount of drills, running, and pushups. "Practices were really hard,

after wrestling, I was in the best shape of my life, wrestling takes a lot out of you." reflected Cody.

Foreman finished the year with a record of 28 wins against 10 losses. "I wrestled the best I have in all 4 years of the sport. Wrestling really

helped me grow as a person."

Most of Southeast wrestlers had winning records, but the team's size caused the Knights to forfeit many matches.

At the end of the season, no Southeast wrestlers qualified for the state meet, but the team experience

stayed/ositive. Forema sum me up the year sayi n~ "We didn't have the be~ year, but we had the be~ unity of any team I have evE been on."

ANEW KIND OF SPIRIT

They could be seen on the court, in the pool, and at the lanes. Defining school spirit with more then just porn porns werE: Step Chain , SynkraKnights, Guyrettes, the bowling teams, and intramurals.

Stepping is the act of moving and placing the foot forward, backwards, sideways1 up, or down. Add to that claps, jumps, and voices, and you nave Step Chain. Step Chain performed at pep rallys and basketball games throughout the school year. They also received 2na place at UNL's Funk Fest. " ~0".1PE:ting is a lot_o~ fun because you get to go to new places," sa,d Junior Meg Pntt,e.

· To synchronize is to move at the same time or rate, synchronized swimming is a sport that takes that movement and synchronizes it with music. Members of SynkraKnigh ts took aquatic aerobics first quarter and then tried out by swimming the entire length of the pool under w ater. Senior Kim Wood expressed, "'Being on SynkraKnights allowed me to meet people that I never would have met otherwise."

The Guyrettes strutted their dancing skills at two home basketball games and the boys state basketball tournament with the Sfiirettes , proving that guys can have just as much school spirit as girls. "It took four weeks of hard work to learn the dance and we all got tired of hearing the Shirettes nagging us," explained senior1-uke McMann.

In bowling, a strike is the act of knocking down all the pins with the first ball. Like other teams, the bowling team wactices so they can do well and bowl strikes at to"urnaments .:,enior Makayla Klein said, "There is no real pressure to do well although you try your best, it's just something to do for fun." ·

Southeast offers many intramurals where students compete against other Southeast students in sports such as volleyball wnere The Notorious Avengers defeated The Crew for the championship, or basketball where MVP's Chase Healey and Logan Papik led the Gamecocks to a 7 4-63 victory over Tearn Skinny. Other intramural sports included indoor soccer, flag football, bowling, and ultimate frisbee. A popular aspect ot the intramural program was filling out the NCM tournament brackets.

Defining spirit at Southeast requires much more than the cheerleaders and Shirettes; it takes every student expressing their individual talents.

(I) INVOLV£M£NT

Com·mu·nity: (n.) A group forming a smaller social unit within a larger one and sharing common interests, work, identity, location, etc.

The Southeast community extends outside of the school building> Students ventured around town for shopping, eating, and entertainment. A new Amigos/ Rezatos popped up at 33rd and Highway 2 that attracted students for lunch. The new theatre seats at Edgewood offered comfort for a movie night. After the movies, students enjoyed a cold treat at Coldstone Creamery. Students worked up a sweat on the exercise equipment at the Cooper Branch YMCA. Businesses gave back to the school community by giving students places to earn and to spend their money.

LINCOLN OOUTH£AST:

COMPL£TING A JOURN£Y OF EXCET ,I ENC£

Jour·ney (n.): any course or passage from one stage or experience to another .

A journey to find oneself started within the walls of Southeast. It began here as each student searched to find what defined them. Many students realized that their own unique individuality made them excellent.

Long after the last bell has rung on June 6 and the last locker door is slammed, . students will still carry with them the strong sense of scholarship, individuality, pride, respect, involvement, and tradition that being a Knight has instilled in them. The excellence they have achieved here will be with them forever.
