Southeast High 2006 Yearbook

Stories frotn the Halls

By Stacy Tamerius

e past year has been full of ups and downs, changes and familiarities. As students ntered the halls last August to start another year of school, some for the first time, some for the last, we embarked upon another journey, beginning yet another chapter of our school's incredible story .

Inside the sturdy walls of our beloved school, one can witness the outstanding pride and tradition built through years of dedication and success. Throughout the halls each day, students can be found cramming at the last minute for a math exam, sharing a laugh with their closest friends, or getting prepped for the night's big game. But this year's partic~lar plot was also full of twists and turns as club days, parking lot rules, schedule times and the appearance of the school itself underwent significant changes

For more than fifty years now, our trusty halls have borne witness to the numerous successes and good times our students have been privileged to be a part of and create. The halls have seen students celebrate those 'A' tests, they've watched lively debates and discussions, they've seen the tremendous effort put forth in they gyms for practices and competitions. But even more so, they have seen tomorrow's leaders learn the values and the morals of the stories and apply what they have learned to their own lives.

In our hallways, a montage of characters has been brought together, and students, athletes, cheerleaders, fans, actors, musicians, leaders, and journalists have all found a place to belong. The halls have seen it all and have watched our lives happen Since the day, years ago, when they went up to provide the humble setting for our education, our halls have been here, standing with us through the good times and bad, watching our stories happen.

If our halls were given a voice , imagine what they might share. Would they tell of the victorious triumphs on the field, in the classroom, and in the arts, or of the small gestures of knight helping knight and knights helping the world? Their walls are full of tales to tell, memories of events witnessed ready to be revealed. So what St(?ries would they tell, if these halls could talk?

Sin.gin it all Seniot'S Doow Liggett, Matt Huss, John Reinhruxlt, and '.A.ndvew Rose ko.ro.oke during the Boost.et- &.sh on '.August 30 5

tudents start the story of their high school Iives in these halls and carry them into the rest of their lives. Friendships are gained and friendships are lost but the stories of these memories will be held within these walls forever.

Student experience dances, games, pep rallies, StuCD and DECA events, classes and plays. Even when not participating in school events, there are Lincoln Stars and Junior Stars hockey games, Saltdogs baseball games, Husker games, Wesleyan games, movies or just hanging out downtown or shopping in the newly renovated Westfield Gateway mall.

Graduating seniors of 2006 write the final chapter to their high school story this year, but take all of these stories our halls told them and put them in the beginning of their new book.

Memories i ram the Years Student Stories

The high school years are full of friends, fun, hard work and learning real life lessons. When school and school activities take up so much of our time, fond memories are inevitably formed with those people who we spend so much of our time with.

Sophie Vcxlvarka has happy memories from her junior year of running cross country and being a member of the team. "Everything was so much fun, the team nights, the trips to away meets, and the landscaping." Many students were able to find their niche in after school clubs and groups.

Others will never forget certain classes and teachers which they learned so much from. For Alissa Wilcox, that class was Mr. Nebel' s Differentiated Citizenship Issues class. "I'll never forget how we've all been encouraged through CID to be sacrifices in 'The Church of Nebel,"' she recalled.

One of Cliff Cessna's favorite high school memories lies

in one of the most anticipated events of the whole year for up, perclassmen: Prom. "Prom was a lot of fun," he recalled. "It was especially fun going out to eat before and going to Post Prom afterwards "

Friends are the center of many of our memories as high schoolers. Melissa Ck)ldsmith remembers the time that she and a few friends cut class. "We were driving and all of a sudden the car started sliding on the ice," she said. "We all braced ourselves, it was probably my best memory from high school."

From classes to after school sporting events to just spend, ing time with their friends, Southeast's seniors will always have very special memories of the time they spent in their high school and will have stories that they can remember for the rest of their life.

Ins pirational Moments Student Stories

Sou theast has always been a place where school spirit is abundant and where students and staff alike can be found doing everything they can to help our community. Senior Brianna Smith will r emember the time "when Mr. Leader and Mr. Focht dressed up in dresses because of a contenst dealing with raising money for the Hurricane Katrina relief fund."

Senior Emlyn Short also remembers another time when studen ts came together to help someone in need. "I won't forget the time wh en I vo lunteered to help clean up Hallam after the t ornad oes hi t It was sad to see how much people had lost, but amazing seeing all of the high school kids that volunteered because they wanted to help," she said.

Lastly, the teachers inspired students to be persistent and cr eative in achieving their goals. Senior Jessica Hebbard commented that, "Some teachers may be a little strange or act a little weird at times, but that is just one of the qualities they use to help us learn and expand our minds, in order to think outside of the box."

Of course there were always the "you had to be there" moments . "I remember when we put Brad Moneto in the trash cans and gave him a swirlie, and when we put Dusty Albers in the dumpster and he lost his wallet," said Travis Mowrey.

No matter what happens during the year there are always moments that mean the most to you and your freinds that you will always share when you see each other later on in life.

Fun Times with Friends

Student Stories

Spending time with friends is one of the most important and enjoyable parts of high school for students. They hang out at all different types of places ranging from restaurants to movie theaters to coffee houses to their living rooms, but no m a tter where they go or what they do, students are building ·relationships that they will never forget.

Katherine Krieger remembers the time that her and friends, Kirsten Foster, Karen Obrist and Brittanii Obenchain went to Omaha to buy Prom dresses. After encountering numerous delays and obstacles, looking back she was able to say, "I'm pretty sure it was like the best day ever."

Stacy T amerius remembers when her and two of her close friends Kaitlin Voelker and Jenna Marshall spent four hours at Applebee's. "We didn't know what to do that night so finally we

just went to dinner but ended up staying there the whole nigr t talking," she recalled.

Mark Scheer knows that school groups and activities are l a great place to meet people and find some of your best friends. ' [ made lots of friends in marching band," he recalled after being t member throu gh all of his hi gh school years. Sometimes those th" r you share such time consuming commitments and activities wit t become your closest friends.

Without friends and these fun times m ost students wou l, l find themsel ves lost, or least of all just very bored. Friends are ther : for the good times but are still there when you need them the m o s-:Even after we graduate and leave the security of Southeast and o beloved high school friends , embarking upon new journeys, we wi .l always have the memories of thes e great friends.

Cha racters We Remember

Student Stories

Everyone has a favorite actor or actress, singer, artist, or artoon character, but everyone also has someone close to them ,ho they will ne ver forget. They might be their heroes or just their riends, but these people affect us in many ways.

Some m ay help us in sports or school and have an effect on s that way Senior John Reinhardt, who h as a love for playing JOtball, will remember his coaches and teachers who taught him 1any things he needed and helped him along the way.

Cheerleading and other school activities helped provide 1emorable mentor s Cheyenne Bice looked to her cheerleading JOnsor, Crystal Folden,Lapin, for a positive example. She also )()ked to her friends and co--captain Alissa Wilcox for support.

Music and arts are highly looked upon here at Southeast. Former Bel Canto member Emily Wilson most remembers director Missy Noonan. Wilson stated, "Mrs. Noonan was always very influential to me; she made it seem worthwhile to sing."

Students might just have the effect of being remembered by the way they look and what they h ave contributed to the sch ool. Derek Roehl admired basketball st ar, Matt Hill. "He is enormous! and he just seems like a cool guy, " stated Roehl.

In the high school years it was important for us as students to find those people with whom we could relate and look up to. At the time we spent at Southeast students were able to find inspiring role mcxlels and faithful friends.

Small but Mighty

The passing of this year's senior class marks the end of an era for Lincoln Southeast. For four decades, from the 1963 opening of Pound Middle School to the 2003 opening of Lincoln NorthStar, Southeast hosted students in grades 10 throu gh 12. After NorthStar opened, along with Lincoln Southwest the year before, all LPS high schools went to grades 9 through 12. The Class of 2006 is the last class to start "high school" as sophomores. Southeast's Class of 2006 is unique in another way , it is the smallest since 1963 when only 3 21 students comprised the graduating class. As of the end of first semester, there were 351 seniors enrolled at Southeast. The small numbers are a result of the two new high schools being built to relieve overcrowding. Prior to 2003, graduating classes were frequently around 600. In fact, the largest graduating class ever was the Class of 1999 which had 690 students,, nearly double the size of the Class of 2006.

End of an Era

Although we are small, we have much to be proud of, bo :h academically and athletically. Bert Gay, Matt Sheets, and Ame Willborn qualified as National Merit Scholarship Semi,finalLts and seven qualified for the NMS Commended Scholar statl ts: Laura Cerveny, Kirsten Foster, Andrew Ganz, Andrew Ruhrdar , Kaitlin Voelker, Justin Whitney, and Eleanor Wood

In athletics, Brian Hansen was # 1 Doubles State Champi (m in tennis this year with junior Chase Muma and #2 Doubles Str ce Champion last year along with Class of 200 5 graduate Tim Berg('.f Matt Hill led the way for the boys varsity basketball team ar d signed to play for the University of Texas. Additionally, neaily every sport had a senior qualify for the state tournament.

With such shining stars in the smallest class in 33 -yra s, there can be no doubt that the halls will continue to see the traditi, in of Southeast's outstanding students

ar Insurance ,, $100, clothes ,, $80, cell phone bill ,, $60, filling up an empty tank with gasoline ,, $40, having the satisfaction of earning your own paycheck ,, priceless. Many students get the pain and pleasure of learning how to manage their own money, pay bills, and still be able to have money left over for friends and weekend activities while they are in high school. Numerous students find that having an after school and weekend job allows them to have a work experience while earning their own income.

When gas prices soared past three dollars per , gallon students had to try to make do with spending as little money on gas as possible. Having a little extra money left over from paying for the imporant necessities and desires of being a teenager doesn't leave much for going out on the weekends. Jobs not only allowed students to make a few extra bucks, but also gave them an opportunity to meet other people their age, ·gain experience, and ooost their confidence and self --esteem.

Students found jobs in a variety of different places including restaurants, grocery and retail stores, teleservices, and movie theaters.

Junior Chelsea Brandl stated, "It's really fun to work at Famous Dave's because it never seems like we're actually working; I'm pretty much getting paid to party."

Graham Foral, a senior, worked at Hy,Vee and enjoyed nearly everything aoout his part,time job. "People who work there are so cool. You feel like you fit in on the very first day," he recalled.

Even though these jobs will not last forever, they povided an invaluable learning experience, memories and relationships that they can always remember.

What is the first thing that comes to mind at the beginning of your junior year? Going out to lunch and not worrying aoout the school staff.

Traci Wisbey stated, "Now that we are upper classmen we are actually able to go out to lunch without getting in trouble by Craig or anyone."

Everyone knows that when we become upperclassmen we have a lot more privileges and responsibilites, and it helps when we have a great learning environment. "We don't really have a stereotypical high school," said Joseph Hopkins.

Jay Cummings agreed and added, "This characterisitc makes Southeast a nice place to attend."

Another thing that is big for most upperclassmen is that teachers expect much more of you since you are so close to graduating. Bailey McAllister said, "A good thing aoout being an upperclassmen is just being able to say that you are a junior or a senior "

"Partying and hanging out with my friends is the best part. I got a car and got to park in A lot," said Biz Rose.

Being an upperclassmen also means it's time t o start looking for a future after high school or start looking for a higher education. "O:>llege is the next step of your life after high school if you want to make a good living or are planning on playing sports," said Derek Richardson.

Being an upperclassmen, you are now able to give the advice you were given to all the new up and coming upperclassmen. Junior Matt Severn said, "Work hard, cause it's not going to be easy, but have fun and get what needs to be accomplished done. It's all about getting everything out of the way your sophomore and junior year, so you can have a nice relaxing senior year."

Not all advice given is going to be about working hard in all you classes and getting all of the requirments out of the way. Holly Piper said, "You should be more

involved in school." Being more involved in school functions helps you meet new people and do something you normally don't do.

In all, upperclassmen have a lot of advice that they could give underclassemen, but we all stick to the good ol' get all of your requirments done and don't act stupid in the halls. So in the end, do your best to pass your classes, don't act better then anyone, and get to know as many people as you can. 'Cause you only get this experience once, so do your best and have fun.

oals to ·get ahead

By Ryan Evans and Myles Cecere, class of '05

Each year of high school will be remembered by individual students in clifferent ways. How we remember these years depends on what we accomplish in them. The goals set by juniors are particularly vital in determining the direction of an academic career. Most juniors cite success in classes as a top priority

"My goal is to get good grades so I can get into a good college," said junior Matt Severn. Being in the final two years of high school brings with it an increased amount of freedom. "You get to leave [campus] and you are placed with more responsibility," pointed out Severn.

Becoming more independent is a goal of any high school student and junior year is often the time when students are given the opportunity to step out on their own.

As juniors look toward the exciting new opportunities that await them in college (or trade school), they should cherish rather than overlook their last days of high school. In light of this, many juniors chose to approach their senior year like junior Keaton Kraft. "I'm trying to get all of my required classes out of the way this year so that next year I can focus on taking fun and interesting classes and enjoy my senior year and take it easy," Kraft explained.

spiring to achieve

By Ryan Evans and Myles Cecere, class of '05

Herny David Thoreau once said, "We were born to succeed, not to fail." Lincoln Southeast has a strong tradition of producing strong community members. A large part of this is due to the seeds of achievement that are sown in high school. Whenever we aspire to greatness, we are pushed beyond the barriers we had previously created for ourselves, which for perhaps the briefest of moments seemed unsealable.

Whether in the classroom or on the field of play, achievements come in many shapes and sizes. For instance, junior track runner Jay Cummings aspired to "make the state track meet." On the other hand,

junior Alan Speedlin's aspiring achei vements have more of an academic base. "I hope to get gocx:l grades so I'm not grounded."

Whatever form these achievements may materialize in, there is no question that they line the halls of LSE. It's clear to any visitor who sees the countless trophies or abundance of academic awards that Southeast has always had a streak of success. Despite the fact that students may not be aware of the magnitude of their achievements at the moment, they will no doubt come to realize thier importance in the coming years.

Whether you attend our school four years, four months, or four weeks, when you leave, you know you can return someday and still be a part of Southeast. And so the halls are able to hear and pass along the stories of places afar.

@ne of the biggest things sophomores look forward to is turning in their learner's permit for a Provisional Operator's Per, mit (POP). POP's allow a per, son to drive unaccompanied by an adult from 6 :00 a.m. to 12 :00 midnight.

Abbey

Marissa Kohl was able to exchange licenses early on in the school year with a September birthday. "The first place I drove to was my friend Lisa' s house," Kohl said

It seems the POP grants a few other privileges along with just driving. "You get the

freedom of not having t i > parents to take around , , you need to go," Kohl sai

Additionally, bein to drive means sophomon. s taxi their friends who ha, ~ yet gotten a POP. Some cf common places they wen t , SouthPointe Pavilions, n theaters, and Southeast a t 1 events.

By the end of the , parking in Glot and or. streets turns into a compc :: for spaces as more and 1 students drove to school.

,-~-- his year the fall play was educational as well as entertaining. "The Rose of Treason" was about the members of "The White Rose ," a group of universtity students who were appalled about the truth coming to light about the Nazi Party. Students who participated in the play got a little bit more insight about what went on in Germany in the 1940's. Students portrayed Sophie and Hans Scholl, Christoph Probst, Professor Kurt Huber , Alexander Schmorell, and Willi Graf, all members of "The White R ose."

"We told the beautiful, powerful story that we set out to tell; we inspired the a udiences," stated senior Abi Shelboum.

"Getting ready for shows was tense, but we remained calm and focused. Then again, getting your make,up done and getting you r costume on was very hectic," explained sophomore Tyler Smith.

And Then There was Style

By: Nicole Morales and Melissa Goldsmith

.l!tastyear, it was pink t-shirts and popped collars that the guys were wearing. But, thankfully, this year the collars have gone down into their original places, and the pink shirts have been put back into their sisters' closets.

For the girls, this year has been one of recurring styles, mostly from the 60's and 70's The big,beaded necklaces that our grandmothers used to wear have found their way out of the old jewelry ooxes and back onto our generations' necks, when only aoout five years ago we would have never taken a chance on them.

The ·round,toed shoes, natural looking hair and make,up have also made a huge comeback. Today's teens are "cuter than ever ," said FCS teacher Lori Goff, "but some fashions have got to go."

When in doubt, an always,safe, universal trend for men and women, young and old is old jeans, t,shirts, and tennis shoes.

Freshman Survival Guide

The first few weeks

The first few days of high school are definitely the scariest. At first this may feel like a huge, terrifying building and in some ways it really is big. But once you get a routine down of what you need with you and when you have time to stop by your locker to switch out your books it all becomes routine. And if you're new, when you are late you can always use the classic excuse, "I couldn't find the room," but always say it with a smile or the teachers will think you're trying to aggravate them.

Another big thing is to stay on top of your homework. Homework is the school's way of attempting to get you to devote some time towards

your classes. Homework is not only a nice c riur of your grade but seriously helps you to undentar the material. Many of the upperclassmen' s b. gge regret is not keeping up on it.

Spend your first days getting to kno~ yo teachers and other classmates. First impressio1is a important especially among your teachers. Along with that it is in your best in tet1 to pass all of your classes. If you get mc,st 1 your credits taken care of in your first years . ya upperclass years won't be as academically imp<: ,rta and you will be able to sit back and take it ;Wf I you so choose.

Freshman Survival Guide

A little homework help

H omework is a very important part of your academic success. You should always make sure to stay on top of your homework because it will help you to be successful in your classes. Doing your homework helps to better learn the material that you will be expected to know and helps you perfrom ~tter on tests and quizzes, which are usually the ~tter percent of your grade.

H omework can be done right after school, ~fore you go to bed (my favorite), or you can rush to finish it in the morning, which is not recommended. One big thing that helps is the after school program, Student O utreach Service, or SOS, which was new

this year. SOS has teachers, administrators, and National Honor Society Members available to work with students after school. Classroom teachers are very open to answering questions that you might have that you didn't understand, so if you can't figure it all out, don't panic. Friends are also a good source of help when you get stuck.

While doing homework, having the 1V on or listening to music can be a distraction so.it's best to avoid them during this time.

If you still can't get your homework done I only have one tip for you: have a good excuse!

Freshman Survival Guide

Dating

It's your first year in high school and you feel like you're not getting anywhere when it comes to dating or meeting new people. Well, from being someone who was once in your shoes and had to do the whole freshman thing, here is some advice you may or may not learn from, but hopefully it will help you in being a little more sociable or even score you a date.

First, don't be shy. Be yourself and just start talking to people who sit next to you in a class or that have your lunch. While it's awkward to just go up to somebody you don't know, just be yourself and

take a deep breath. The worst that could hap r n they don't talk back, and then in that case, th u are the ones who look dumb.

In a new class, laugh and talk with the person sitting next to you, smile a lot, and dor / t shy. People like talking to people who smile an · looK fun; it's harder to talk to someone who looks n ean or who's. Act like you do with your friends wit h the opposite sex; if you act like you've known ther. for awhile, it takes the weird away. Eventually, y u'~ find a great boyfriend or girlfriend.

tudent Council is an organization where selected students can come together to represent the school and sponsor a number of fundraisers or events for our school that have become as much of a tradition as academic and athletic successes. Student Council, or StuCo, as it is more familiarly called, sponsors KnightZone t~shirts, the Pancake Feed, Spirit Week, Homecoming and a variety of other events each year

The funds raised from such events are then donated to various charities. This year, StuCo donated $3000 to the Charlie Wilson Replacement Care Home Fund, which aims to build a home for mentally and physically handicapped young adults. Senior Cliff Cessna, President qf StuCo, explained, "StuCo is a group of leaders promoting Southeast inside and out through doing activities in school and serving others outside of school."

the Southeast swim team..

Good Tinws

Summer and weekend breaks for many if not most students come as a much welcomed change from the tedious hours spent in the classroom and completing homework assignments late into the night. Southeast students make the most of this time, spending it with family and friends, doing things ranging from spontaneous road trips to mellow nights at a friend's house to serving one's world with a mission trip. Southeast's students definitely make the most of their time away from school and find fun in a variety of activities and adventures.

With the stresses of class work and rules pushed to the back of their minds, kids can enjoy themselves doing whatever it is they want to do, with their closest friends. While the purpose of school is focused around learning science, math, and a multitude of other subject areas, the thing people remember most from the high school years is always what they did and who they did it with. They remember the first date, the Senior Prom, the day they got lost in Omaha.

But the weekends come and go, and before you

know it, summer has returned. The summer flies by'

of the girts swim team.. But for many, they've already had their last summer, and many of this year's seniors will be packing up to go away before the heat of the July sun reaches our Nebraska homes.

"Take the chance while you can, do something that you may not always do, make those memories with your friends, because before you know it the opportunity may be gone," advised senior Stacy Tamerius.

The times that Knights aren't in school are filled with friends and good times. Without them, Southeast High School couldn't be the place that it is, nor would the people be the characters that they are.

the summer students have their friends and family. They have their jobs that last day and night, from the early hours of detass ling to the late nights at the movie theatres.

Now it's time to hear aoout what teachers do when school's out for the summer.

Most of the teachers hold jobs. Tim Tidball has done carpentry since before he started teaching , but for the past two summers he has put down his hammer and nails and has become a student

But Tidball is not the only teacher working for his Master's Degree. Math teacher and basketball coach , Ryan Phifer, is also on his way to a graduate degree. These teachers are working just as hard as we are during the schoool year.

The Teachers

(continued from page 73)

Why do teachers hold jobs over the summer? " I have a job to help offset a teacher's salary," said English teacher Paul Smith.

It's always good to have an ending and a beginning - always a start over. And for some teachers, it's just nice to have a break to travel and redecorate.

Ann Quinlan, English teacher and yearbook adviser, taught in Kazakhstan in October, 2004 She spent last summer in Chico, California helping with the orientation for the 2005 Eurasian,American Teachers of Excellentce program.

Dick Caster, science teacher, has the job that most teenages have in the summer. He's a detassling supervisor.

Instead of spending away from the students, English teacher Donna Mullen keeps her teaching going during the summer. She is a teacher at the Sylvan Learning Center. But she still has time for a little relaxation. "I like to sleep in and fill my knowledge tank," Mullen said So when schools out for the summer, remember your teachers are still working just as hard.

Academics Learning the Ropes

By Emily Wilson

Jff these halls could talk, they would whisper about the thousands of memories that exist in each hall. For years students have walked through the unchanging corridors of 5-0utheast and have left a piece of themselves and their story lingering everywhere, in the lockers, on the yellow tiled floor, and in the musty air.

In D,Hall, we are taught the stories of history as we create history for ourselves a day at a time. Upstairs in f,Hall our nri are told in a whole new language, and we learn about our world through the classic lnoks in our English classess. In GHall, seniors wrap up the stories that they have spent so many years creating while others prepare for their future in business and computer courses. And back downstairs in G,Hall, freshman struggle with starting stories of their very own, chock,full of dreams, drama, and )mplie1ti1

For seniors these halls mark four years of individual stories, and for the underclassmen they hold infinite possibili ties for the future. These halls hold a piece of ourselves and our lives, wh ether we like it or not, and the stories that come from these pieces are complex, colorful , and just begging to be documented. Academics play an essenti al role in our <. (X:umentary Academics is where the principle ( of our story has its beginning .

By Emily Wilson

As the sun rises over our castle by 37th Street, students ho a rd in sleepy masses to start their day The bell rings and our administrators, our gate keepers, allow the students to flow almost intrinsicly through the rest of the halls. A few coeds with disheveled lookos o n their faces are left herding around the attendance off ic e to get their tardy slips filled out, and a boy shuffl es dishearteningly into the nurse's office where he will spend the rest of the day sleeping on a cot and praying for his mo ther to excuse him for the remainder of the day.

This is A,Hall, whe r e mostly everyone's day begins. Whether you're feelin g sick to your stomach, getting last,minute breakfast in the cafeteria, getting your absences excused (and we all know that you h ave plenty), or walking in from the parking lot, yo u will eventua ll y wa lk through here to get to your final dest ination .

orking out the memories

Every year students partake in lunch and an athletic class. To many of us, B,hall is known as the hall with the lunch room and north gym, but take a closer look. This hall is where you had some of the best times. Here, you sat and ate lunch with all your friends and met new ones.

You all survived though the numerous days of the gym class you chose to take. But when you look back on it, you had some of the best times in this hall. From the very first day of school to the las t day, ~hall captures our foot, steps and our laughter.

Now this all may sound cheesy, but when you're a senior, that last walk through B,hall is one filled with many memories, like your first time going out to lunch, the first time you were able to walk in from Alot without getting a ticket and so many more.

istory in the tnaking

by Stacy Tamerius and Chelsea Schrage

If these halls could talk, they would say much aoou t our history and the heroism in our past that students have been learning aoout inside the classrooms and in the "dungeon" that is D,hall.

This hall is where students have the opportunity to learn aoout the rights and freedoms they as Americans are oom with and the work it took to gain and preserve those freedoms. Students have learned of past events and ways of life, of the economy, of psychological and sociological wonders and even of philosophy. They've been able to learn of the past of other cultures and compare those experiences to their own.

Lectures and notNaking dominate the structure of most classes, but projects and assignments join in the mix as well to give the learners variety. Students learn everything there is to know aoout our government from the Amendments and Bill of Rights to the treaties and happenings that made our world the way it is today:

This history hall is stories, stories that students will continue to make when they leave this hall.

reating the future

Every day, students hurry to their classes.through D,hall. But as they rush, do they really take the time to look up at the beautifully painted skylight? If you were to take the time to really study this painting on the ceiling of the art side of D,hall, you'd notice the tiny details.

For example, there's a small gray airplane soaring through the sky, along with birds. There are tree braches that scrape at the glass, and even little water droplets painted to look like a storm has just passed. Another ingenious detail of this painting is the piece of our school newspaper, The Clarion, in the comer.

The north half of D,hall is home to the more creative aspects of Southeast, including baking, interior design, clothing, photography, pottery, and other art classes. During any time of the day, students can be found making beautiful creations, and sometimes disasters, but all the same, creations.

ehind the scenes

By Stacy T amerius

f lipping through the pages of the yearbook, looking back on all the memories of the past year, students may take for granted all the effort and hours that go into making the actual book into the book that it becomes.

Reading the stories and editorials of the Clarion, students may forget all the research and work that staffers have put into each issue. D,hall knows however, because it is the home away from home for the publications' staffs.

Shield and Oarion creators document the stories that are lived out every day in this school. Every day, the halls see the tireless effort and the long days and work nights required to make the yearbook and the newspaper. They see the future editors learning the ins and outs of the world of journalism. Even when the students may forget all the behind the scenes work, the halls see it, and now they are here to tell it.

Though the job of these staffers may be a stressful one, it always has a happy ending. They will never fail in successfully telling your story.

If E,hall could tell a story it would tell the story of math. There are always numbers to crunch, derivatives to find, and triangles to solve in E,hall. Math designs the world and calculates what does and does not work.

When a student walks down the math hall, one would find 15 different math classes and 17 great teachers who teach these classes. The teachers of £,hall not only have great skills but are also armed with textbooks, calculators, and compasses.

anaging the beginning

and end of our stories

The high school story for hundreds of seniors ends here in £,Hall, but the stories for the business students are just beginning. Because £,Hall is senior hall, there is constantly an air of eagerness for closure to the accumulation of four years of hard work. Lockers ceased to be decorated, and the hall is nearly desolate after seventh period. To seniors, £,Hall is simply the portal to their soon,to, be freedom. But this does not mean the hall is void of any life.

E,Hall is also home to Southeast's aspiring business persons. Every day the hall is filled with the scent of freshly,baked DECA cookies, and students are constantly bustling in and out of the library. So, where so many seniors' stories come to a close in £,Hall, a multitude of new stories will bloom and prosper.

world of knowlege

By Emily Wilson

The story of W estem language is one of the oldest and most fascinating in history. It starts back to the second and third millenna BC with the Indo,European language. From this branched off the classic langu ages of Albanian, Baltic,Slavic, Celtic , Armenian, Gennanic, Latin, Greek and Indo,lranian. It's from these eight languages that mcx:lem day languages began. Although a lot of English words have Latin rooot s, English is a Germanic language while the commonly taught languages, like French and Spanish, come from Latin. Not only is the vocabu lary we learn different, but so are the sentence structures. When we take a Spanish or German class, we are not just meeting college requirements; we are mastering the structure of our · own language while keeping its roots alive. To perfect a language is to understand the history of language as a whole, taking us to depths of knowlege no other course could bring us, telling us the story of other cultures.

uilding a life through books

To be be able to create stories of our own, we must first master the stories in classic literature. The books we read are more than assignments: they are historical documentations of previous lives, and by studying them we obtain inspiration and guidance for our own lives.

In our underclassmen years we read classical Greek mythology and study political philosophers like George Orwell. Through these gemes we are taught the history of love and war, such as in Homer's "Illiad" and the "Odyssey," and we learn about a human's natural state, such as in "The Lord of the Ries" and "Animal Farm."

As upperclassmen we work backwards in time, starting with American literature in 11th grade and then classic philosophy as seniors.We study racism in America and then move to the philosophy of thought and happiness, like in Aristotle's "On Happiness."

To believe that these books have had little influence on our own stories is a fallacy. Classic literature is the blueprint to the ideas and morals on which be base our lives. It's where we get ideas on how to build our own future.

One By One

By Bailey McAllister

M,hall has always been the home of the Marching Knights who had another successful competition season. Highlights occured in Clarinda, Iowa, at the Southwest Iowa Band Jaml:nree, where the band won their fourth consecutive Best Band award, as well as at the Nebraska State Band Association competition, where they hosted the day,long contest for the third year in a row and received a Division One Superior rating, the highest rating possible.

"Hosting NSBA was a great experience, and the competition itself was definitely something no one will forget," said freshman Chris Shelburne. When the Knights stepped onto the field, it was 32 degrees , quite the contrast from the 100,plus degree weather during band camp, where it was typically hotter in the building.

Shelburne and other Knights endured two weeks of grueling eight,hour ,per --day practices, amidst sweat dripping int9 their eyes and shouts of "One more time!" and "Do it again!" from band director R.J. Metteer, assistant band director David Young, drumline instructor Ben Shelhaas and color guard instructor Megan O'Neill. Band camp and the double period band class every morning meant hours of practice perfecting the Marching Knights' competition show, Pachebel' s Canon Cubed.

Although the band spent more time on the practice field than in M,Hall, the time there was spent reviewing performances, good and bad, as well as listening to pep talks delivered by Metteer and preparing students for a band trip to Hawaii. M,Hall missed close to 170 students for a week around Thanksgiving break, while they made the trip all the way to Honolulu, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu to march in a parade two days after Thanksgiving.

Listen a little closer and you'll hear the music of M,hall, from soft orchestra music, to jazz, to gocx:l ol' classic band music. M,hall was where this all happened. Take a deeper look down the hall; it's the hall where everyone got amped up for a band performance. You might have been able to catch the cast of the musicals and Night of Knights, the annual talent show, in costume and make,up rehearsing their lines, walking off nerves and getting prepared for the biggest events of their lives.

From being a home away from home for kids in the plays, M,hall turns into a big bed for them. It's like •a second home, but you don't get yelled at by your mother to keep it clean. It keeps some of the best memories forever cherished throughout the years. .

Not only has it kept memories alive, but it's also made new ones. M,hall is the hall where trying out for· performances, chairs and parts makes way for creating the music that we all loved and enjoyed at basketball _ and football games. M,hall added to the sounds of our lives.

Choir is very different from any other class offered here at Southeast. Throughout the year people in these choir groups including Court Choir, Queens Court, Knight Sounds, Excalibur and Singing Knights have developed many friends through coming together to do something they love Singing.

"In choir it seems everyone is really close, the teachers are really awesome," said senior Abi Shelbourn. These clifferent groups travel to elementary schools, nursing homes, and singing at school events just to bring joy to other people's lives.

"It's cool how it makes people so happy and promotes such a positive attitude," stated freshmen W eslee Williams.

"What can we say, we sing a lot and rock at dancing plus it's always fun to meet new people!" said junior Taylor Brooks.

"In Excalibur, you have a huge variety of music that you can sing from, which makes it fun and more interesting," explained sophomore Cassie Bachman.

The story of M,hall is the story of performance. When a student walks down M,hall they will encounter everything from actors reading through scripts, to techies building sets, and debaters preparing for the next tournament.

The main theme in M,hall is spreading a message or sharing a story, either through acting or delivering a speech. Thespians and Thalians (theater honor clubs) work on acting skills as well as putting on Southeast's annual productions. The Forensics team learns effective techniques for composing and delivering speeches.

"M,hall is like a home away from home. The amount of time that techies, speechies, actors, and so many others spend in this hallway after school and at night is unbelievable," stated sophomore Rosy Heydt, a member of the Forensics team, a cast member in the fall play and the sound designer for the spring musical.

Everyone's talents cari shine in M,hall and students are given the opportunity to explore interests and perfect their talents in singing, debating, acting, or technical production. M,hall is unique from all the rest because it is the home for the performing arts.

Honor Students

By Stacy T amerius

Southeast's National Honor Society, known more familiar NHS, is a group of dedicated students who not only have academic standing, but also are involved in both school acti, and the community.

Clubs Finding a niche

By Stacy Tamerius

lub days have long been a tradition here at Southeast, giving students a chance to spend time participating in activities during the school day that relate more to their own particular interests. This year over fifty clubs were offered to students ranging from art clubs to academic related clubs, ethnic clubs, service clubs, and to clubs created purely for fun. With so many different options available, students could easily find a place to fit in, a club that they could get involved in.

While this year's story includes a twist in the plot on the subject of club days, students have made the best of the situation they were dealt and haye come to look forward to these days as a short break from a typical school day. In the past, club days significantly altered schedules as students would miss a regular class in order to attend club. But this year, instead of having clubs during classes, class times were shortened and two extra club periods were added in during the time saved

One of the many new traditions instituted during this school year was the addition of a ninth grade club. These clubs met only during first semester and every ninth grader was assigned to one of the clubs. Each ninth grade club was sponsored by a clifferent teacher and assisted by several upperclassmen students. This was a chance for students to get acquainted with their new school and to meet other students in a setting outside the classroom.

Many extraordinary things happen when Knights come together in these clubs: the community gets served, people in need get help, students learn more than they could have ever learned in a class, and if nothing else, friendships get formed as students come together during these times. The halls know that club days are not just an excuse to miss class time or slack off, but they are also an opportunity for students to make a real difference to the school, to the community, and to their fellow club members. That is why clubs have been such a long~standing Southeast tradition.

Differences

I'~~ there is at least one trung that all the caucuses and GLBSTA have in common. All five cl are aoout exploring the challenges of different ethnic backgrounds and different lifestyles Latino Caucus sets out an understanding of what goals they can accomplish and t they can achieve anything that comes before them.

Asian Caucus teaches club members aoout the Asian culture and traditions by getting toget: and having a gcxxl, memorable time.

GLBSTA is a club where students can come and talk aoout Gay, Lesbian, Bi~sexual, Straight a T ransgender issues . The open atmosphere of the club allows students to work against discrimination · sexual orientation, race, religion and gender.

Native American Caucus is not just for Native Americans. Many different ethnic groups an part of this caucus for its interesting facts and different understandings.

The African American caucus raises awareness for today's students and shows them what su a club can accomplish.

Sign Language Club members had the opportunity to learn how to sign the alphabet and o t h er phrases on club days. Sign Language Club appealed to students who wanted to be able to interact wit h kids with hearing disabilites or those who simply wanted to learn a new form of communication. Key Club also works with students who want to volunteer their time to the community, and also has the mission to teach its members leadership skills. Some activities they helped out with were the monthly distribution of food at Saratoga for low,income families and the hohday store.

Stressing Creativity

By Sam Hedrick and Hannah Hillis

ome of the favorite clubs are those which allow the students to stretch their creative minds and think outside of the oox. Several of these clubs let students delve further into their favorite hobbies. Art, Film, Anime, Photo, and Sudoku clubs all encourage these students to continue in their particular interest. Each of these clubs let students take pursue their hobby in capturing photographs, creating masterpieces, critiquing and enjoying films or trying to figure ou t the Sudoku puzzle.

Without an op!X)rtunity like this on club day, many students would not be able to find sufficient time in their busy schedules to properly pursue these interests, nor would they necessarily receive the encouragement and advice of their fellow club members or S!X)nsor.

A Place for

Every Hobby

@n e of the best things atx::>ut Southeast is that students are able to find a niche for every talent, ability, and hobby Students who enjoy scraptx::>oking, sketching, reading, poetry, and knitting can all safely say that they have found their niche in our school. Students are able to find a time in school to work on other things besides just schCXJl , work and athletics.

"TI-us is the first year for sketch club. I just wanted to give kids who don't have much of an opportunity to sit ar1d draw to have this time to let their imaginations go to work" said Sketch Club sponsor Melanie Jones. All of these clubs are designed to give creative students the chance to just work on a project that they don't have enough time at home to work c1r1 because of homework and other school activities. For those that don't have time to finish their scraptx::>ok or add drawings to their sketch tx::>ok they can use each club day doing just that.

The objectives of many of these clubs are given away by the name of the club, but many students don't kn w anything atx::>ut Roundtable Club. The goal of Roundtable Club is to look at modem and old poetry. It gives a chance ro students who like poetry to read it and think atx::>ut it.

Students for a

Cause

outh working for a common cause is the focus of these clubs. Although the cause is sligh t! different for each, they still work hard for what they want to accomplish. The main goal c Students for Peace is to bring together students who only want peace in the world. Throughu L the year they worked on planning the seventh annual Benefit Night, a talent show and art auction heL to raise funds for a designated world peace organization. This year the American Refugee Organizatio r which helps refugees from war ,tom countries, was the organization selected.

Young Democrats is composed of the left wing students of Southeast, or students who , interested in Democratic politics. They discuss issues of interest to the Democratic party as well as 5e involved with the Nebraska Democratic Party by doing walk arounds during elections.

Young Republicans consists of students who tend to have more conservative values. They ctls< help with their state party, helping the Nebraska Republican Party to accomplish its goals. Students for Life is composed of students who wish to work for Pro,Life causes.

They use their knowledge of the Cl)nstitution and Supreme Cl)urt to make a timed presentation and are interrogated by a panel of judges.

DECA, sponsored by the business department, allows students to study marketing topics and compete against other students from all over the state. DECA also sponsored the MDA walk for t he Muscular Dystrophy Association and sold DECA cookies in the halls every day for students wishing for a snack in between classes.

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is just what the club name implies. These are ambitious students who have a desire to learn more about the business community and hear from t h se business leaders who have already found their success.

G Club is where you can play magic card games. Chess Club is for people who want to show off their sk while Four Square can be competitive, but fun while you hang out with your friends.

Sprouts and Farkle club is where you get to play two different games: Sprouts and Farkle. ]\ many people have heard of those two games, but they definitely provide a challenge for the players. Far uses dice and Sprouts is a paper and pencil type game of adventure.

@ne thing that runs through the members of Thespians, Drum Club, and All

Male Choir

(AMC) is that they are all following a passion through art and expression.

Drum Club members have talent ranging from expert like Justin Essink who is in two ban , "Forever Tragic" and "Wayward," to beginners. The club is sponsored by Gene Lessman who p u ts together different activities for the students, like watching movies and playing a variety of percussion instruments. Essink said, "I like it because you get to express yourself and show your creativity."

The men in AMC share a commonality with Drum Club members in that their talents ranf , but their passion is equal. They sing a varied style of music and work to keep their tenor and b_ ;ss voices strong and mature. "We need more men because it's not as strong as it could be," said junior Sa m · Volkmer.

Thespians is the oldest of the clubs, and has been around ever since the school started. It cliff .rs from the other clubs in that they do more charitable work that encompasses the theatrical arts. President senior Abi Shelboum said, "It's gcxxl we can break outside the box and do things other than just purtly theater stuff so we can promote the arts while doing gcxxl for the community." The most well,knov. n Thespian project is Trick Or Treat so Kids Can Eat, where they collect sacks of fcxxl to donate to the F x:l Pantry. They also help with Saratoga Fun Night by running a booth for the elementary students .

Science

I'~ rap Oub is one of the clubs at Southeast where students have more freedoms than they would in any class. Fe instance, students are able to shoot shotguns at discs and reload their ammunition during their club hour at sch ; So, you could say that Trap Club is basically an intramural sport at school.

Science Olympiad is also somewhat of an intramural "sport" in that students in it compete in a variety of scienc( related events. Freshman Eric Mooring is one of the students in Science Olympiad. Mooring said, "We do several differe:things in there, everything from ecology to tower building." If you like anything alx>ut science, you can probably find somethin in Science Olympiad to suit your taste.

Outdoor Encounter Club is devoted to helping students develop an awareness and appreciation for the outdoc and learn basic camping skills. Students participate in hiking, biking, and canoe trips all across the Nebraska. Nature Club students are involved in caring for the environment, as well. Students take walks around the schL-, and discuss ways to improve the environment and ways that students around Southeast can help in the community.

Members of the club also maintain a web page and create a newsletter advertising their upcoming activities.

In International Club, students host an international breakfast, do a variety of arts and crafts , play games from around the world, and listen to guest speakers. 1brough these activities, students are exposed to a variety of cultures, giving them a taste of places they have never been or may never set Medical Club members learn about current health issues and different health careers. Medi ~al Club also hosts an annual blcxxl drive at Southeast. Junior Megen Jarvis said, "We are a service,based group and one of the things we do is the blcxxl drive in the spring ."

In Math Club students prepare for and participate in UNL Math Day and the American Mathematics Competition every year by discussing higher level math problem,solving techniques. Jur,; or Todd Mooring summed up Math Club by saying, "Basically, we sit around and amuse ourselves \\ ;th math problems." Mooring also said that skills learned in Math Club could help him in a future car d Research Club, a new club started this year, allows students to do a variety of long,term resea .-ch projects in areas that are of interest to them. In many cases, these projects may last years as students go about finding information. Freshmen Taylor Allen, Joshua Dorval, and Jack Salter are all club memh ·rs. Dorval is researching alternative human origins. "I save my work online so I can do most of my resea: ch on my own time," he said.

Said senior Cliff Trehearn, "Car club is fun because it's a small grou p and you can do more hands on things." In Sci,Fi club, the sky is the limit. Watching movie') and discussing them is what brings the club together, from "The Matrix" to "Star Trek." According to freshman Tyler White, "I just like what the club is about."

Fishing club has always been a popular club among Southeast students. Experience or knowledg e isn't necessarily required of these members, only an interest in fishing. Rocket club brings togeth · people with an interest in rockets and they spend time, among a variety of other things, buildin.I rockets. Skate club is where the skateboarders find their group, as this club embraces the sport o t skateboarding and gives members a chance to come together to show off and give tips to others sharinftheir passion.

for decades, S{X)rts have 1:n?n a large part of the story told in each chapter of Lincoln Southeast. This year is no different with spectacular performances y t ams and individuals in all kinds of sports.

Sports tell a large part of the story of many students at Lincoln Southeast. In fact, last year 552 Knights participated in at least one sport , that's one in three students. Many of those compete in two sports and several play a sport each season. In many cases, these athletes are also involved in other school activities ranging from plays and choirs to DECA and Student Council. They are also successful in the classroom. Nearly half of the 552 athletes had a GPA of 3.5 or better, which qualified them for a Scholar Athlete Award. Half of these maintained a 4 .0 or better.

And so we delve into an action,packed chapter that has historically been one of the largest at Southeast.

IJf there's one thing that can be said aoout the Varsity football team this year, it's that they improved, game after game. The season started out rocky for the Knights, but after a major victory over Lincoln High at the Homecoming game, they had a new,found motivation that carried them through the rest of the season. Junior Steve Schaffer said, "We struggled on offense at first, but the Homecoming game was a boost of confidence." This confidence carried the team all the way to the playoffs, which was the team's goal from the beginning, according to Schaffer.

Luckily, the loss at the opening game against Creighton Prep did not foreshadow the rest of the season. "We flat out weren't ready to do what we needed to do," said senior Matt Huss "Being ready matters at Districts."

The Knights were matched up with the number one team in the state during the first round playoffs. Unfortuntately, Schaffer was not able to pl ay during the game due to a concussion, but following the loss, he and other players began thinking about what they can accomplish for next year's season.

During the summer, the team attended a football camp in Laramie, Wyoming. Senior Drew Liggett said, "It was the hardest thing I've done," which was a common opinon among the entire team. "The hard work we put in at Wyoming brought us closer together as a team," said senior Mike Zabel.

Coach Chuck Mizerski was pleased with the progress the team made this season. "We're focused on being the best we can be." That attitude certainly encouraged the team to come out with a win during close games and to put up a strong fight against intra,city rival Southwest. Mizerski summed up the season by simply stating that in any situation, no matter how tough, "We never give up!"

students filed back into school to start a br and new year, many athletes found themselves heading ack to another familiar place during the fall. They knew that as the new year came they would find themselves busy not only with homework and all of their new classes but also busy outside learning and practicing the game of football. On the football field they developed friendships as well as their football skills and techniques. This year's Junior Varsity football team was no exception. The JV team spent the majority of the fall practicing and training for competition.

"It was hard this year. I was always at practice or a game. I never had free time, it seemed. Coach Caster is such a character, though, so it made it fun," stated sophomore Ryan Burns. Burns played for the reserve, junior varsity, and varsity football teams.

Junior Dan Reighert took away from the season an improvement in techniques and the fundamentals of football. "We always just made plays up on the spot. At JV we work more technique, varsity we are out to win," add Reighert. "We had a good season."

"I wish we wouldn't have given up so easily when we were down. We just gave up," said sophomore Alex Barg.

The Junior Varsity team still played with a lot of heart and when the season and the fall came to an end each of the players walked away with a deeper appreciation for the game and some new,found friendships.

Forward Pass to the Future

mcoln Southeast's football teams are known for their talent and, more importantly, their love for the game. All the teams work hard, and put numerous hours and days practicing and sweating, but don't recieve equal recognition.

Although the reserve and freshmen teains may not have gotten the same crowd turnout as the two aider teams, they focus more on building their skills and bettering their game for when that time comes.

"I think at Southeast you are more competitve and try to play on a higher level. We struggled as a team, we grew as a team, and I think we are better prepared," stated sophomore Montana Jones.

Sophomore Brian Wood said, "Southeast has a lot more intense and different coaching style than when I used to play midget football." Many on the team feel that with a little work in the weight room and some more practice, their varsity years will be nothing short of outstanding.

While they are looking forward to the future, they still kept a present mindset and by focusing. Both teams ended up winning games and becoming better te31!15. The boys built friendships and worked hard during practices so that they would be able to succeed in their games.

"I made a lot of new friends thanks to football and I'm going to play next year just for that if not totally for the game For freshman Nick Brophy, "It was a great experience."

He's the Distance

She's going for speed

By Erin Dolan

o many athletes, running two or three miles is a pretty gcx:x:l work out, but to a member of the Southeast Cross Country team, that would just be a warm,up. Junior runner Quinn McCreight sta ted, "You know that yo u're a cross country runner when you combine words like 'six mile run' and 'easy' in the same sentence." To these athletes, Cross Country isn't considered just a sport; it turns into a hobby. Twelve or more hours a week, these high school students are committed to running and being a member of the S.E.X.C. (Southeast Cross Country) team. "Being a part of Cross Country, you don't just make friends, you create a team! You get so close to the people you run with because of the common suffering you go through together," junior Nate Bond explained.

"We just love to run!" exclaimed Varsity runners, seniors Colton Meyers, Sarah Safarik, Jane Tsui and juniors Quinn McCreight and Nate Bond.

"Even though there aren't crowds of people cheering you on, the gratification comes in self,esteem, knowing you can endure the pain for 17 or 18 minutes," senior Cliff Cessna explained.

What else describes the team as _a whole? One word: "SPAGHETTI!" senior Sarah Safarik immediately blurted out.

At every cross country spaghetti feed, pounds and pounds of spaghetti were devoured by these dedicated runners. However, when you saw a group of them walking down the hallway, they still seemed to look like toothpicks

"In Cross Country you may start off a race alone, but you end up finishing with your teammates," sophomore Katie Nelson said. In the end, the team completed another successful season as they were able to send many runners to State with the girls finishing among the top schools in the district.

I'~~ erulis is a game of endurance hand eye coordmation and instinct. Junior Alex Dolson, a two year starter on the varsity football team, took an opportunity to play tennis this year because he sustained an injury that wouldn't allow him to play football.

"I basically played tennis because I was injured so football was out of the question. I just tried to stay in shape," he said.

Dolson also added that he liked the practices more than anything else. "Hitting balls at coach Lessman and Eric Clymer was pretty fun," he noted.

Freshman Justin Tolston had goals for next year. "I just wanted to play and try something new. I have played tennis recreationally and I just wanted to start getting into sports at Southeast."

N"One of the matches I will look forward to next year will definitely be against Lincoln East," said freshman John Rutford. "I think if I would have attended more of the practices I probably would have done better I think I finished around .500 even for the season."

ISecond year coach Gene Lessman said he thought his team finished strong taking second at the city tournament.

s"State next year will have some really great matches; there is always ·room from improvement" said Lessman.

The memories that these boys share go far beyond the meets; freshman Mitch Somach remembers the trips to away games fondly. "We have dance offs in the van. Junior Ted Stuckey is always the rapper and Tesmer' s the judge."

"There's a tennis tradition when every time we pass the Platte River we throw tennis balls off the bridge," Stuckey recalled.

This year's playful and diverse team, with ages ranging from freshman to senior, played hard and won enough meets to gain the confidence needed to move into next season with positivity.

But most importantly, they had enough fond memories of friendship and competitive van dance offs to make a positive impact on the players, and not just on the scoreboard.

yMuma agreed, "Southeast varsity tennis next year without a doubt, will be a force to reckon with. We are looking to have a great season next year with Stokke, Fordham, Stuckey and myself coming back."

This year consisted of several hour ~long speeches from the coach, and too much "middle school" drama.

sSince it was H auser's first year in high school, being on the softball team made her transition a lot easier. "(})ming here, and trying out, then making varsity, made it easier because I alreday knew some of the girls," stated Houser. Michaela became really close friends with Ashley Douglas.

I"Michaela and I became really close friends, because we think a lot alike, and we are always able to laugh at someone or something," Douglas said.

TTb.is year has brought the girls together in more ways than one. They will definitely be able to come out of this season with life lessons they will never forget.

"We were a bit out of sh ape but that didn't change the fact that we had some very strong hitters," said captain, Feerhusen. "We definitely could have been in better shape," agreed junior Libby Lonn and freshman Erica Suarez.

The Junior Varsity girls softball team all considered this year a winning season, because "even though we didn't win all of our games, we accomp lished a lot," stated Lonn. "It was a learning season for all of us," said Suarez. The JV team consisted of only two juniors,,the rest of the team was three sop h o mores and seven freshmen,,who took leadership roles in the form of captainship in Feerhusen's case, and "th e role of the soccer moms who drove everyone around," laughed Lonn.

Reserve sof tball offers the underclassman a chance to improve there skills and just have a good time.The team consisted of nine freshmen and three sophomores. T oward the end of the season, "we just came together, almost like sister s ," said Jean Dubin.

l'fnprovement was certainly a goal well met for this year's vars ity t ~ lleyball team. From last year's rebuilding year the girls were able to win several games and have fun at the same time. Senior captain sten Foster called the team "kooky, fun, driven and cooperative."

"Beating Southwest was g reat ," junior Megan Statton remembered. "We all cried." The season ended in the final round of districts with a record of 14,17 H o me games were the all,around favorite because the cheerleaders, band and fans' support all accompanied the games. "That just made it more fun, the energy goes way up," Statton explained.

The season highlight win against Southwest was early in the season, but other moments, including energetic bus rides and enjoyable team dinners (the most memorable one hosted by senior Emily Larson), helped to strengthen the relationships between the team and make for a fun season.

Kaitlin Voelker, the student manager, said, "This year's girls made for a great time."

yTWith about half the team retu rning from last year, they were already familiar and comfortable with each other. This was also partly because some of the girls on the team started playing YMCA volleyball together when they were around eight years old. It did not take long for those who were new to find their niche. This year's team, though it lacked a winning record, was successful in other things that matter: a strong team bond, fun, improvement, and lots of hard work.

Victorious Knights

l~laying volleyball for Southeast means more than just putting on a uniform and doing your thing on the court. For the JV volleyball team, playing for the Knights meant being able to represent the school that means so much to them.

Junior Mikaela Kleeb put it this way, "All athle tes take pride in what they do, but being able to represent my school means so much."

Overall, the season was a success. "I loved it!" said fresh, man Emily Goans. "There were so many new experiences and challenges. It was a big step up from what I was used to, but I had fun!" With two freshmen and four sophomores on the team, there were plenty of new people to meet and be comfortable play, ing with. "My favorite part of the season was getting to know everyl:xxly ," said sophomore Makaela Henning. "We started off rough in the beginning but then ended up improving and doing really well."

Reserve found the the same luck with a record of 13, 5. These girls had an amazing season, not only did they play great as a team but they also got to know eachother on every level pos, sible. Unfortunately it didn't start out this way, freshman Jaydon McDonald stated that "in the beginning we were hanging out with just the people we knew."

After the first couple of weeks these girls ·started to get to know each other and became great friends. Sophomore Nikki Jacobsen said, "I loved the pre,game dinners, they were always a blast!"

Sophomore Christina Cane stated, "It was a great season and one I'll remember for a lifetime."

As freshmen make their way into the high school atmo, sphere, the freshman volleyball team has already learned what it means to be a Knight, and has found a rival. "My favorite part of the season was beating Southwest!" said Elena Hoff. The others agreed.

Throughout their season, the girls got to know each other both on the court and off. "I thought we did pretty well this season," said Alicia Steggs. "We have bonded as a team and most of my closest friends are from the volleyball team." They went out for volleyball because they all had a love for the game, but they also realized what it means to be a Knight. As Claire Mueller put it, "Playing volleyball meant that I'd be part of the Southeast volleyball program, be a factor in our season, and rep, resent Southeast's underclassmen in athletics."

f there is one word to describe this year's boys varsity basketball team it's "seniority." With nearly all seniors on the team, many returning for a second year on the vars ity team, there's no wonder why the team made it to State this year.

ISenior Matt Hill said the chemistry among the team members "helped us through a lot of victories, but another driving factor was the fans. At the Black Out, the sc hool sp irit helped us play well and showed how dedicated our student body really is," Hill explained.

yTPlaying in the Greater Nebrask a Shoot, ou t in Omaha was a new experience f or the team. Sophomore Nick Schleich, the youngest member on the te am and one of the few non,seniors, said, "It was cool playing at the Qwest Center because it prepared us for the State T oumament:"

Senior Josh Arter's most memorable moment this year was, "when Hill smashed on Omaha Bryan."

F he varsity girl's basketball team is a story of friendship. "My favorite thing about playing basketball at Southeast would have to be the great friendships I have made while competing throughout the season," said senior Amanda Byleen, which is a good thing, considering these girls are together nearly every day for the winter months of the bas ketball season.

IHalf of this year's team consisted of underclassmen, including three freshmen. "Considering how young we are, our season has been very successful," said sophomore Katie Birkel. "We have improved a lot and we work hard and have fun together."

yTMotivation and the drive to play came easy for these girls as well. From the love of the game, to the competition, the bus trips, and the team comraderie nothing was going to stop them. "I just love to play sports," said senior Stacie Hubl. "I've been involved with sports since I was little."

Asked if there were any downsides to playing basketball, junior Megan Statton decided, "Well, having to do homework after practices or bus trips wasn't fun, but it was worth it. The season was a lot of fun and a success!"

; hroughout the season the junior varsity, reserve , and freshmen girls basketball teams strived for unity on and off the court. The girls worked to become a team by spending not only every practice together but as much time off the court as possible together. ·

"Our season went very well. We did well on the court and also tried to spend lots of time together," sai d junior Vedrana Soldo. But spending lots of time together wasn't always great. " Bad practices where people were in a bad mood and it doesn't go well wasn ' t exactly what you would call fun," added Soldo.

" Also, when a teammate says we aren't good and we really work our hardest to become great," sa id freshman Alexa Cooper , talking about the downfalls of being together constantly.

But on the upside, all three teams created tons of memories together. " We met people we wouldn't typically talk to," stated Cooper. Some of the best memories occured during practices, u s ually a t the expense of the players.

"W henever Sarah Wilson played defense she would stick her butt out and hop up and down ," laughed Cooper. Soldo added , "Chloe [Reinwalc;l] was clumsy and fell constantly at practice just by tripping over her own feet. "

mVrestling isn't just about Half Nelsons, Cradles and all of the other fun wrestling terms that we haven't heard before. It is also about sportsmanship, meet, ing people and growing relationships while having fun and being competitive.

The wrestlers have to go through vigorous training and diets that change their weight and metabolism. It's everything from running daily to watching what you eat, and still trying to be healthy and able to wrestle. All of this concentration allows .the wrestlers to make their scheduled weight di visions.

TIThese weight divisions are very important too; they let a wrestler know that he has done a good job and can wrestle in the upcoming meet. "I love wrestling because it is a good way to get into shape and not even know it. I'm doing something I love," said junior Dan Stalder.

@n any given day during the winter m o nths, the swimming pool in lower Prasch was filled with the noise of many girls practicing fo r the n ext swim o r dive meet. This year, the girls had a very su ccessful se~son and even sent one girl to State where she captured the first place medal in diving. Junior Kayla Torske, for the second year in a row, was a fierce competi tor in the state meet wh ere she dominated all of her opponents in order to take home first place.

The girls' team found in each other, n ot only competition , but a lso close friends. Spending so much time toget her they were able to grow quite close and spent much time hanging ou t for n o reason other than enjoyment.

Junior Celeste Case,Ruchala stated, "The weeks before State are the best. You train as a gro up , eat as a gro up and swim faster and harder. You feel like a fa mily because yo u're together all day long."

Sophomore Natalia Lewicki added, "I love the team and they motivate me to do my best."

While there is no doubt that swim meets and competitions can get intense o r frustrating, the gi rls have all managed to keep cool and stick by each other. "It can be frustrating when your times don't improve and that's something h ard to deal with, but you h ave to get over it ," Lewicki said.

Making a splash

J/ntensity, anxiety, fear, and motivation. It may sound like your stereotypical male sport, but swimming and diving is much more. Consider the freezing conditions of the water you're competing in. It rushes through and past your body in forceful waves. Every move is one calculated to shed seconds off your time.You've got other racers on each side of you, and a fear of them passing you comes in.

Senior Nate West said," Swimming is one of the hardest sports to train for, and it's a challenge. I swim for the challenge, and for the competition."

All the determination, the improvements, and even the losses help you to excel. The crowd involvement adds a great a tmosphere to each meet. The intensity can compare to any other sport.

One of the biggest times in the ooy' s swimming and diving season is State, where some of the best come to flaunt their competitive drive and spirit. It's what all th~ accumulation of their individual and team effort stands for. To put it simply, take after freshman Dylan Nelson who stated, "It is one of my favorite sports."

Sophomore Steven Ebers explained, "The team and the practices would not wait for you. If you were serious aoout improving anq making a difference for the team, you would have to give it your all five or six days a week, even if you were tired, sore, or sick."

ome students are involved in sports that are a fun and competitive way to participate in a high school experience. However, some sports are played in arenas outside the school grounds.

Unknown to most of the student lxx:ly, the Junior Varsity l::owling team won the State title with a total pinfall of 3,625. Hastings placed second with 3,525 pins. Southeast's own Travis Johnson won the JV state title with a four ,game total of 869. The 1::owling team consisted of twenty JV and Varsity bowlers. The team considers Parkway Lanes as its home, but competes with other teams from southeast Nebraska.

Trap is a sport that many students do not know much about. In trap, the shooters use 12, or 20,guage shotguns and try to hit blue rocks, which are clay discs that are launched by a machine. First, you shoot two rounds of 25 rocks. Based on how many rocks you hit out of 50 your score is divided by two and you shoot an additional 50 rocks from your score's yardage. Awards are given to the top male and female shooters at 16,yard line and top male and female during the handicap round. The LSE team shoots in the Eastern O:mference.

playing your heart out

Jtveraging a decade of experience made the varsity baseball team anything but average After overcoming a bumpy start accented by a tough loss delivered by cross--city rival SJuthwest, the varsity boys stepped it up a notch andstarted living up to their full potential. By putting an emphasis on unity , they overcame their downfalls and proved it's possible to accomplish anything you set your mind to.

The beginning of the season was p lagued with "too many rainouts and extreme workouts," said junior Alex Dolson. A gigantic snowstorm dumped over a foot of snow on Lincoln and in the process thoroughly soaked the practice fields and sent the baseball teams to indoor facilities. Despite having their parade "snowed" upon, the players made the best of their situation.

"It was frustrating because of the snow and rain but it was fun just hanging out with the guys during practice," said junior Steve Schaffer. Dolson agreed that "being with friends and winning" were the best thing about this season. Success on the field was also a favorite aspect of the game for many players

"Dominating lesser teams was my favorite part," said Dolson. ·

"Winning is the best thing about playing," said junior John Kampfe.

The varsity team had a large fan base and many players named Kampf e's dad, Steve, as their biggest fan. Dolson added junior Matt Harvey's dad, Von, to the list of biggest fans, while Schaffer named his grandma as his biggest fan, "because she wants to see me succeed and see me have fun," said Schaffer.

D oin it all fo r t h e love of the game

Similar to the varsity team, the junior varsity, reserve and freshmen baseball teams all have experience in their favor, yet suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the season, and to the same opponent Varsity had problems with, the Southwest Silverhawks. Reserve co--captain sophomore Eric Clymer declared that "dominating LSW" was what he was looking forward to most this season. For junior varsity player sophomore Nate Cech, beating Southwest just wasn't enough

"I looked forward to beating Southwest, but even more so I wanted to win city this year," Cech said.

"Winning a city title was a huge goal for us. We were a very young team and I definitely looked forward to watching us develop as a team," said junior varsity player sophomore Montana Jones. "Young" was definitely not an understatement for the JV team. Junior Varsity consisted of one junior, four sop homores, and six freshmen, but as the saying goes, age is just a number, and it did not act as a factor in the a mount of talent on any of the teams.

The Reserve team had the same frustrating start that Varsity had, with game after game being cancelled or postponed because of the weather. But weather wasn't the biggest complaint for reserve players.

"I absolutely hate conditioning," said reserve player sophomore Lucas Kendle Other players agreed, but reserve player sophbmore Taylor Darlington named stri king ou t as the worst part about this season. Despite a list of complaints, they found many other things that made the season totally worth it.

"The thrill of the game," was reser ve player freshman Ben Gantz's favorite part of playing

"Catching someone stealing is the best," said Darlington. "I definitely enjoy baseball and I find it really rewarding," he added.

Like the higher level teams, the fres hmen team endured a losing streak at the beginning of the season that seemed like it would never end. But it didn't dishearten the players, who constantly carried varsity coach Randy Brolhorst's favorite saying of "Git'r Done" close to heart at all times.

"When you're losing a big game and no one has faith that you can come back and win, probably has to be the worst feeling ever," said freshman Jonah Hamilton. The freshman team had no problem with fans not believing in them and had enough fans at every game to fill all of Southeast's bleachers and send others searching for lawn chairs or the most comfortable patch of grass they could find.

"My mom's my biggest fan. She's always supporting me by coming to all of my games," said JV player junior Sam Ross "She also washes my dirty uniform," he added.

Darlington also named his mom as his best supporter. "She goes to every game and cheers for every player," he said. Other players n amed good ol' Dad as their biggest fan, and for many of them, coach as well.

"My dad basically taught me everything I know abo u t baseball and coached me a lot through -the years," said junior varsity player sophomore Lucas Hoffman.

Nothing putt fun

Vloseness and unity were perhaps the most abundant themes of this year's golf program. From sharing laughs at team dinners to spending entire days together at day~long meets, there is no doubt that this is a close group of girls. Because the entire varsity team were returners from last year, not only did that help with the game, but with their relationships as well.

RAThis year specifically, senior captain Amanda Byleen noticed that "We worked better together as a team this year, we got closer and that made for a better experience." Because golf took so much time and the girls of ten spent a full day together, they found themselves helping each other with school and problems as well as their game.

IThe lone freshman player in this year's program, Virginia Murphy, was glad that golf allowed her to meet new people and helped ease her into high school. "They are nice and really supporting" she commented about the other girls .

Aggressiveness and determination are what are helping the boys this year in golf. They're all wanting to make it to state, and if they keep up their good work, they can do it.

Already this year the boys have become closer to each other, like the girls. They support one another during meets against rival schools and if someone makes an impressive hit, some of the guy golfers will make comments like "Nice!" or "That was amazing!" or "It's in the hole!"

Marcus Payne commented that his teammates would tell him, "Stay Positive!"

VI'~~ he girls tennis season started off with a slam. The girls team consisted of 26 girls. The team put in a lot of hard work throughout the season. They practiced five days a week for two hours a day. The girls' tennis team started off practice with some wann up drills to improve certain skills such as serves, ground strokes, and volleys. Then the girls teams competed against each other in challenge matches. These matches determine spots for teams and can help to determine what level a rlayer is at.

The girls team was very busy this season. They had eighteen meets to play. The team traveled to places like Fremont, Omaha, and Grand Island. "Something that has been fun is that we have added a talented freshman (Karlee Long) and a foreign exchange student (Carol Kockerbeck) to the mix this year," stated head coach Tim Tidball.

The girls tennis team had a variety of reasons for joining the team. This season is freshman Hattie Ficke's first year. "I never really played much tennis. I joined because I want~ to meet new people, learn the sport of tennis, and set and accomplish goals for myself."

Veteran Brianna Smith stated, "I started tennis to meet new people and I kept playing because the team and the sport is always a good time.

The girls tennis team experience is best summed up by senior Bethany Tallman, "I like the people We all get along and it's just always fun."

On the right Track

Jlt al l starts with a hunger. A hunger and a drive tha t makes you want to try harder , to pus h your boundaries In the case of T rack & Field, you don't just have tha t drive, you m anipu late it to your advantage

The participants in Track & Field are d i vided into different events. We start with the Pole Vault, this event demands that players use their force against a pole to vault over a bar. Other field events include Discus, Shotput, Long Jump, Triple Jump, and High Jump . Junior Corey Hively, t eam captain for the throwers, competes in shotput. "I am expected to lead the throwers in practices and meets. It's fun to hang out and compete with other schools and your friends to see just how well you can do," he said. Hively also worked to improve his person al record (PR) throughout the season.

Of course, the most well known of all competition s are the running events: sprints, relays and distance running as well as hurdles, are included From the 200 meter dash to the 3200 meter run, runners find their best events .

On days before meets, workouts are easier, but they vary according to the event. For example, relay teams practice hand-0ffs and runners do shorter distances. Hayley Sutter, junior dis t ance runner, said, "We have spaghetti feeds and pray before meets t o help us stay inspired. I enjoy being a part of the team aspect of thi sport."

Racing to the finish line

ach year girls of all heights and sizes try out for the track team. Not everone is gifted at running, that's why there are many options girls can choose from: high jump, long jump, discus, shot put. For some people, running is just another sport, but for the Southeast girls track team, it is life. There is also many options for running: sprints, distance, and hurdles.

"Distance is really hard but everybody can pull through it and get it done," said freshman Ashley Peterson.

Sophomore Erin Dolan said, "I love track because there are so many new faces you see and the distance squad is so close!"

The girls work hard during practice but how about before? Each day at 3:15 the whole team does a jog together and then goes to the wrestling room to do an ab workout. After tons of sit~ups, the team breaks up into groups based on their events.

The team had a tough begining scoring points at the first few meets, but in the end everybody ran best when it mattered most. Taking a team to the state meet is what every coach looks forward to and that's what they did this year having everyone compete their best at the district meet to qualify for state.

Starting off the season with several wins, proved this young team could continue to strive forth even after losing several! starters to the class of 2005.

"We were a little worri ed h ow we would do this year bringing so many und erclassmen in on starting positions but everything workout," stated senior Josh Arter.

Soccer isnt just a single season sport. These players consider soccer a year,round sport even though the season fo r high school may only last three or four months. All of these ooys are in summer, indoor, or spirit soccer leagues lasting all year lon g.

"Overall we had a great season, of course everyone has their wins and losses but in the end we played as hard as we could," explained sophomore Taylor Hunt.

"The thing that always helped lighten up practices was when Brad Moneto would get smacked in the face by a ball," sophomore Jordan Green recalled. "Before every game we would all get together and eat to get foc used for upcoming ·games," he explained.

"This year's team is really cool ~aus e all the guys are so crazy! They know how to have fun but also there are thoses times where we are all business," explained sophomore Jason Vensky. "There is just something aoout ge tting a group of guys toge ther and putting a ball o n the ground."

Positioning to Win

ltworld wide favorite that can be found in our own back yard is soccer, also known as football in Europe. It is a sport of stamina, coordination and teamwork. It is a game of non,stop action and the occasional sports beverage.

Freshman Louie Labudda said that his favorite memory was when he scored on a breakaway. "The feeling was great. Scoring my first goal was awsome,,it happend so fast, but it's a memory that I won't forget."

Soccer is an intense game. Some situations can be nail,biting, down to _ the wire in a shoot-Out or just trying to get that gamNying goal with time winding down.

Junior keeper Greg White knows all about pressure dealing with soccer. "I have been playing since I was seven but I used to play offense, but then coming into high school I wanted something a little bit more challenging than just running up and down the field so I took the chance to play keeper indoors and it all started there. I have a love , hate relationship with the game. Some days I can shutout a team, others I let a couple roll by ine, but that's what the game's all about."

Hands off they're hot S

eer at Southeast in the last couple of years has had me of the finest players, especially when it comes to e girls team. This year so far has proven to be one of the best in recent years the Knights started out on a nine game winnning streak that was recently ended by the second~ranked East Spartans.

This year's team has show-cased a lot of talent from the beginning. One of the captains is Danica Harris, a senior whogoes into every game with the right mentality for soccer. "This being my senior year I just give my all to try and lead the team I play hke there's nothing to lose but since most of the team is seniors they all know whats going on around us," she said.

Another senior and major contributor to the team is Ella Kay "I think we owe a lot of praise to our coaches. If they hadn't stressed the importance of playing as a team and working together I think we wouldn't have the record we have now. But with the structure of o ur team this year with a lot of the seniors I think the chemisty of our team is phenomenal and I'm positive we will finish strong."

Senior Amy Powell will remember her time as a &:lutheast soccer star as well as all of her teammates. "We've all ~n playing together since grade school but it will be sad to see everyone go separate ways after high school but I have really enjoyed all the memories so far and hopefully we can make more by winning state this year."

"I joined a team sport to be with my friends, and make new ones," explained Jamie Irwin, freshman,JV team member.

The best part about playing a sport is the bus rides not! The bus rides are long and annoying, everybody talks and it's a real bumpy ride, however "the bus ride to North Platte was my favorite memory of the season," said sophomore Samantha Gealy.

"My parents encouraged me to try my best at winning games," said freshman Wendy Armstrong when she explained what movated her to play.

Saturday morning workouts kept the soccer players in condition, but it's not one of the favorite parts of the sport for freshmen Morgan Lucas and Claire Mueller.

The teams enjoyed their season of succssful victories.

alftime comes around and the crowd is energetic from the thrilling competition that is breaking at the half. The players leave the field or court and on come the Shirettes or Step Chain to take their tum at entertaining the crowd. Each group has its own strengths, goals, and purpose , but bot e successful in what they do, and never fail to rev up the crowd.

The Shirettes, the school dance team, continued their long tradition of excellence by once ag1m making the trip to Nationals in Florida, dancing their way to number one overall, bringing home another trophy to go alongside all the ones from previous years. They spent the year practicing hard, working up a sweat and finding the consistent group coordination that makes each of their dances look so great. Seni or Ella Kay said of the year overall, "We surpassed the goals we set in terms of improving skills, winri ing Nationals, and building friendships."

Step Chain finds their rhythm in stomps and claps as they move about and keep a beat g 1: 1g Performing alongside music mixes the steppers like to find a unique approach to each routine and spend much time practicing so that their performance turns out the best it can be. Step Chain has stomped t h eir way into becoming a real crowd pleaser during pep rallies and basketball games alike.

Don't Spend it All in One Place

by Cliff Cessna

IJf there's one thing that tells the story of the life of a teenager in high school, it's the places they shop and the things they buy. With the money they earn at their job or swindle out of their parents, high school students invariably find more ways to spend money than they can afford.

Of course, high prices of gasoline don't help in making the dollars go farther. With prices climbing up to and over $3.00 a gallon, a larger portion of money was spent on getting from point A to B. Aside from that, entertainment and food were where most money got spent.

In many cases, wherever you find students spending money on entertainment, food is also a part of the ta le: Listening to music on your iPod and drinking coffee at the Mill while you study. Going to a movie and eating popcorn, candy, and pop. Playing video games with friends while devouring pizza from your favorite pizzeria.

In the age of the iPod and the melodious cell phone, students seemed intent on keeping up with the latest in personal technology. Instant messages, instant photos, instant music. It was all here in the world of the iPod.

Then there's the other side of the story. Businesses appreciate and depend on the patronage of students who keep coming back for more. To get their name out there, they have to advertise. What better place to do it than right here in the story~k of high school students?

And so if you are a graduating senior looking for a summer job to help pay for college, an incoming senior looking for a place to get your senior pictures done, an experienced junior trying to decide where to eat lunch, or an incoming sophomore trying to find the best place to meet friends over the summer, you've found where to look. Happy spending!

Happy Endings

By Stacy Tamerius

he year comes to a close and we take a look back at the chapter we have added to e long story that is our school's history, we can be proud of all that we have done.

e halls have spoken to us loudly and clearly of what it means to be a Knight, sharing the moments most memorable of the past year. As students at Southeast we can be proud of the memories we take with us and the legends we leave behind. The friendships we have formed within the walls of our school and the knowledge we have gained while we are high school students, though unique to each separate character of the overall tale, is something not to be forgotten. But Southeast's story is not yet finished, it is waiting to be continued by the future generations of Knights. All those who come after us are anxious to continue the tradition of excellence and create their own installments . Our story has always been one focused around years of tradition, decades of excellence, and dedication to service. This year has been no different.

But this year is the last year that our halls will go untouched. The story will continue, but new exciting plots will come forth as renovations will begin to take over Southeast's structure. For fifty years, our h~ls have provided for us and protected us through everything, and now we can fina lly pay them back with the update they deserve.

This June, some of us wi ll be leaving these loyal ha lls fo rever, some of us only for the summer, but all of us wi ll leave behind our mark, our part of the continuing tale
