VISltlng South Korea was a life chang ing experience for sophomore Katie Clabaugh. "I went on the Holt Family Tour, for Korean adoptees and their families," said Clabaugh . "I got a chance to see North Korea, visit orphanages, and even visit the city and hosptial I was born in," she explained.

The only thing that Clabaugh didn't like of her expereince was all of the raw seafood, but they had plenty of American fast food, too!

Leading the way Five students f ram Southeast kicked off tl-teir summer by participating in Girls and Ebys State. 17ie conference hosted high sd100l seniorHo--be from all over tlie state. Knights selected to represent their school were: (pictured above left to right) Oiris Beecham, Makaela Henning, Sam Hubka, Shannon Spears and Phil Plankenau.

"Students get a chance to experience a day in the life of a government official on state and national levels, " said Shannon Spears, who was elected to the role of governor of Girls State. ·

Sam Hubka said that his favorite part was the rivalries between towns. "(It was) kind of like school rivalries ,' he explained. Hubka was mayor of the town Bunker Hill. "I was in charge of town meetings and getting the people in my town to all of the state meetings."

"I decided to apply because I want to be a governor or senator some day ," admitted Oiris Beecham

Hinrichs was in Washington, D.C. for two weeks this summer for a journalism and leadership can.ference called the National Srudent Leadership Omference. The summer of 2007 was the first time to offer a journalism session. The event was held at American University where the students stayed in dmms and had classes and lectures from the professors at American University. The 150 students chosen to particapate in this can.ference spent two weeks learning about the world of journalism and leadership skills.

"It was really fun! We went to so many places, like fultimore Haroor, Georgetoum, Si1verspring, ''The Washington Post" and we even went to a baseball game," Hinrichs explained. The students also took a tour of all the monuments and spent a day on Capitol Hill.

"It was really cool going to the World War II Memorial. I was excited when I saw the pillar for Nebraska," Hinrichs said. She was the only representative from Nebraska, so she was excited to be reminded of home.

''There was even a street called Nebraska Avenue, and it was right by the school!"

On the other hand, a change students liked was the new cell phone policy. Students could talk on their cell phones during passing time and during lunch.

THE OUT TO LUNCH Ouno£

Sneaking out the hard way._ Two unu:lentified students sneak out w lunch during second l1',nch. Many students tried gming out so they could go to some of the local fast food restaurants

By Maddie Erickson

When a junior or a senior walked out the lunch room do s, escaping into a half-hour of freedom, y sophomores began to think, "Wow they're lucky-- they get to go ocit to lunch." Then they may stait to wonder, \\ 1it, I can drive, why can't I go out to lunch?" Well, many students were confused on this subject. However, sometir s they were so confused they found themselves sneaking out to lunch.

"I sneak out to lunch all the time. Ifs pretty easy sometimes, but it can be difficult," said an unident H _, d sophomore.

Even though many sophomores did it, many didn't know the consequences that would have occurr , · if they were caught. Most of the time detection would mean a detention, but, if caught more than once there more serious steps taken to make sure it did not happen again.

In some students minds, though, they believed going out to lunch was a privilege . They thought tha t rules of going out had been broken to many times and that the administration should to make new restrictio the way students go out to lunch. In response, this year, along with the new ID tags, underclassmen were ident i' · d by the infamous black bar on the bottom. As a result, it was much more difficult- for sophomores to elude e administration.

While getting out to lunch was often like reenacting a scene from "Mission Impossible," the sweet allu rE of fast food was too much to ignore. So, as long as the sun rises and sets sophomores will go out to lunch.

Varstty The top of the high school sport world. Mostly, the prestigious positions on one of these teams went to Jun i and seniors. But, occasionally an underclassman with enough skill and commitment could reach the top team. This ye select number of sophomores defied the odds and became members of the varsity squad in their respective sports.

How did it feel to make a varsity team as a sophomore? Maddie Graham (basketball) stated, "Ifs rewarding, kno that you're up there with the big dogs and ifs a lot of fun because you get to meet a lot more people on your team an other teams ."

Jaydee Jurgensen (basketball) said, "It feels good knowing other people worked hard to get to the point where I now." And getting to that point was no easy task. It took hard work and could cut into extra time and weekends. Brooke Balogh (swimming) remarked being on a varsity sport took a lot of time, so she had to learn to use her time wisely and occasionally chaos~ not to go out with her friends so when she needed to do your homework or go to practice.

But being on varsity wasn't just hard work and time consuming. It was also fun. Graham said that her favorite pa about being on varsity was " the team dinners, and knowing that everyone is there to improve their skills and get better."

Congratulafionst You gradudted from being a freshman. The bad news? You are still an tJnderclassman. While you aren't quite able to say "move!" to anyt)ody in the h0llway yet, it is a step up from being a freshman. That may be considered unfair, however, that is the way it is when you get to higti school. Seniority rules and the seniors know it.

Next time somebody tries to act cool In the hallway and they're only a sophmore ydu might want to set them straight and tell them they have two more years to go. Bu~, there are some good things to being a sophomore. Sophomores don't get picked on as much as freshmen. Don't worry though, you're on your way to being a junior-- a true upperclassman!

Remember that first time walking through the high school doors as a freshman? What were your first thoughts? Or better yet, fears?

\\Classes are a little harder, and I think in high school there's a lot more pressure to do well because your grades count for a lot more than they did in middle school," explained freshman Sarah Lamphere.

\\I was a little neNous about trying Cruising through the halls... Freshmen to find my way around such a big school · Oiristian

Among the other things that were the most terrifying about coming to high school were wondering what other people think, getting enough credits to graduate, and not fitting in.

\\Not knowing where I was going was definitely my worst fear," said freshman Liz Kester, \\Meeting new people and having harder classes was frightening, too."

Elliot Nobbman and Ross Reynolds both agreed with Kester but they were also afraid of getting pummeled. Not only did they have fears of getting annihilated by upperclassmen, Reynolds jokingly exclaimed, \\girl cooties!"

When asked if anything about school still makes them neNous they simply replied \\grades." Grades count for a lot more then they did in middle school and especially elementary school. Although Reynolds seemed to think high school is a lot easier and more fun because he is older and middle school wasn't that great.

\\High school is way better then middle school 9nd elementary school because there is way more freedom," stated Nobbman.

As the year went on everything wasn't as stressful as most freshmen thought it would be. Even with all the construction, students adjusted to the changes very well and gained confidence navigating through the hallways in such a big school.

Congratulations! You have graduated from the obscurity that is middle school and moved onto high school and all of its glory. Finally your maturity will be rewarded, as you will stand among the elite.

Well, au contraire! For you freshmen swimming in the big sea, there is one thing to keep in mind: "high school" is another word for "hierarchy." Before you have the right to walk down the hall with your head held high, there are a few guidelines that the senior class has considerately suggested for you:

First, eye contact is a privilege, not a right. In many cases, your best bet is to entirely divert your eyes while walking down the hallway. The good news is that the halls were brilliantly designed to be void of any obstacles. However, this does lead to the next point.

Second, treat upperclassmen as thorny, poisonous , fiery entities with whom all contact should be avoided. When you are in the general proximity of an upperclassman (which you should sense, rather than visually see, keeping rule number one in mind), you must instantly cease all movement and stand silently. You can earn bonus points here by smashing yourself against a locker and staying as far out of the way as possible (continued on page l 07)

FIRST CHANCE !a Jl ~!ano~

(continued from page 105)

By Em ily McCoy

Third, it has become apparent that the concept of "respect' was not at all taught during your middle school days. If by chance , you are privileged enough to be sought out by an upperclassman , always refer to them by "Sir'' or "Ma' am." Additionally, spend sometime .thinking .of all the possible names that yours could be confused with As an example, if your name is Terry, you are to respond to : Mary, Carrie , Larry, Barry, and even Joe Seniors have too much responsibility to be burdened by insignificancies such as your identity.

Finally, these are only the powers that are enumerated You are also responsible for adhering to the whim of upperclassmen . Be grat~ful for the proclamation of these laws; you have been given the gift of knowledge. Don't fret, however. Your day is just dawning, and there are better things to come Junior year and upperclassmen glory is only two years away.

Put your hands up ... Freshman Ashleigh Obrist stands fearfully by a locker as senior Ross Henry walks down the hall. Obrist and Henry were in the same Ora l Comm. class second semester. Obrist said, "It's no t rea ll y bad being in class with seniors. T hey are rea ll y nice and he lp you wit h your work." Henry played for the Uncoln Stars hockey team and plans to play for Madison in Wisconsin next year.

HALLWAY CrouO't(jf

You hear the bell ring at the end of your class. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to reach your next class with minimal damage to your body , and mind. You accept the mission in order to further your academic achievement.

As you leap from your chair, an upperclassmen pushes you back into your seat. Minor setback but you push onward. You are now running through the hall as fast as your feet will carry you. As you turn the corner an administrator stops you for running in the halls. Great timing on their part because you also don't have your ID tag on. You shell out a dollar to buy a temporary ID and proceed on your way as the warning bell rings. You are ,till in F-Hall while your next class is at the end of G-Hall. You wait until the administrator is out of sight and then you (. 'J rt to run again. You dodge around other students who are sprinting to their classes as well. You fall down the stairs t '1d start to limp to your classroom. You dive into the classroom as the final bell rings. Status: minimal damage to jy and mind. Mission accomplished. Now you just have to survive until the end of the day.

Here is a riddle: everyone is or was one and one wants to be one. Yes, you know I'm talking abrn · being a freshman.

The bottom of the food chain, the freshie and the ones that always get made fun of by t upperclassman. But, soon enough their day will com E and how will they act?

Will they keep the cycle of upperclassman maki fun of underclassman when they become old enoug r Or, will they defy the laws set by previous generations c students before them and break the cycle?

Some freshmen asserted that they would end t h cycle of underclassmen cruelty. Others were adamar about continuing the tradition. Whatever the case, o thing was universally true: freshmen year was fun wh i it lasted and even better to leave behind!

While pushing each other, the team agreed that support from the fans was good motivation. Senior Nick Schleich, who seNed as a captain along with fellow senior Gabe Jefferson, appreciated the positive atmosphere and fan support.

"Team spirit gets us riled up and energetic. You want to play hard and win it for the fans," Schleich said. Despite gaining some inspiration from the fans, Jefferson explained that keeping focus within the team was essential to being successful.

"You hit a point where you can see the end and you are working towards being the best and beating the top teams," Jefferson said.
