Sports, dances, friends.

Almost everyone looks forward to coming back to school. Although we may be back in school, some people had very exciting summers. Some people were busy with work, vacations and camps .

For example, junior Stacy Manson moved to her new house near Crete.

"It was a long move. Its a very different experience living on a farm. There are so many responsibilities but its so much fun at the same time," Manson said.

Manson's favorite part about this summer was finding an injured baby deer that had a broken leg. She then took care of it and nursed it

back to health. She ended up naming the baby deer Bambi and it now lives in their chicken coop.

Junior Amy Cotton, on the other hand, spent a portion of her summer outside the U.S. She was invited by the Midwest American Honor Choir to tour six different countries in Europe. Cotton went along with l 30 other students, including eight fellow students and choral director Denise Cotton.

"Between the Swiss Alps, Lake Lucerne is the cutest Ma and Pa town and it was by far the most incredible place I have ever been to," she said. The tour began in Paris, France, then went through Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Although the two-week long trip

was enjoyable and fun, Cotton explains that she would not miss a coupl e things. Europeans rarely used ice in the ir drinks, and air conditioning was not available. •

"America is a great place and I appreciate air conditioning and ice so much more," she joked.

Most people had the opportunity to go on vacations. But others were stuck in Nebraska . Whether or not you went somewhere, the wonderful summer time had to come to a halt. On Aug. l 9 everyone went back to reality. School was back in session and students were ready to get back into routine. The 20 l 0/20 l l school year had begun.

South-west -with Spirit

SPF, spirit grou~ urge tea.ms on to victory

The cheers of fans roar in the stands as they clapped their hands. " Bring it on" is the mind set of both the team and the fans Pumped up and ready to yell, these students come to support the team, with painted bodies, flags, and some signs that will eventually get taken away. This scene discloses what fills our stands, come Friday night football.

Outstanding school spirit has been around since the beginning of Southwest. Tradition is building, with much thanks to the Southwest Fan Federation, known as SFF.

Senior and a leader of SFF, Nea lesh Padhye tried hard to keep and start new traditions.

"Even though Southwest has been alive for less than a decade, tradition is something we are trying to build," said senior Klorissa Kavan

SFF was important to the students who were involved with the organization. Padhye said , "Being a part of SFF, to me, is a position I don't take lightly. I view myself as an organizer, leader and indirect hypeman . In essence, the SFF represents having a good old time while sup-

porting your fellow student athletes."

Kavan loves SFF. She said, "it adds a whole dimension of excitement to games. We take the SFF very seriously and have been recognized by ESPN for our unveiling of the epic Operation Phoenix. Besides, there's nothing like a • little screaming school spirit to give you a rush of adrenaline. Being a part of this organization is big."

Senior Chase Krueger agreed , "I enjoy being a part of the school and being able to lead the student section is pretty sweet."

Everyone knows that Southwest themes can be amazing, but many wondered how SFF came up with the themes. And on top of that, how they got the details out to students.

"We tell a lot of people to think of different themes and get opinions on them," Krueger said.

Kavan said that while preparing for a game is always fun, it sometimes is a little stressful. "A facebook message is almost always sent out earlier in the week from our fan page to spread the word about the theme and game details. This makes communication between over 2,000 students a lot easier "

Even though SFF is all about tradi-

tion, changes are being made One of the biggest changes that happened this year was fundraising

"By fundraising, we were able to purchase flags, paint, signs, and anything we need to pass down to next year," Kavan said.

Fundraising helps keep SFF going, so Southwest can have the ultimate student section at all times. Kavan said the big fundraiser was the SFF car wash, which raised $615

"The great thing about fundraisers is that they give SFF potential to make our dreams for the student section less of a dream and more of a reality," Kavan said.

In addition to SFF, support and leadership came from the cheerleaders, the dance team and the band . They all contribute to the game day atmosphere, prime for success on the field or the court .

"In SFF other than the leaders, nothing will change," said Padhye.

Standing strong together, screaming until we can't anymore. Dressed in our best, for success, even though we look crazy. Representing our teams, our school and ourselves.

Lunch: Munch time!

Stu.dents debate the quality

Lunch. Afavorite time of the day for most students, a time to just han g out and take a break from the stud ying and hard work. With three poss ible lunches to be assigned to, opi nions varied on which was best.

Freshman Andrew Badami who ha d first lunch first term said his favorite thing about having first was that, "yo u get to eat early, and you get a si x minute longer lunch time."

Junior Candra Reynolds who had second lunch first term said, "I re ally liked hanging out with all of my f riends during my lunch."

Meanwhile, junior Paige Masters who had third lunch said, "I don't like having third because we have to wait so long but I do like hanging out

0£ all three lunches

with all my friends who have my lunch."

Juniors and seniors had the privilege of going off campus for lunch while freshmen and sophomores stayed back at school. For the most part upperclassmen preferred something other than school lunches.

Some of the favorite places to go out were Runza and Amigos. As for at school, other than the school lunch choices, there were Subway subs and Pizza Hut pizza. Pizza was $ l .50/slice and subs were $3 each.

The lines were long, from fries to pizza to the actual school lunch. "School lunch lines are always long, so thats usually when I choose pizza," sophomore Audrey Berck said.

Most students complained about

the amount of time for lunch, believing that 30 minutes was not enough, even the students with the seemingly longer first lunch.

Some students chose the snack shop as an alternative to the long lunch lines. With only six allowed in at a time, students chose from things like pizza to a lot of other different snacks.

Lunch was about relaxing and hanging out with friends, catching up on the latest gossip, and enjoying time away from learning. As lunch ended, so did all the talking and gossip as students dragged themselves back to class, to attempt learning again.

Guideline to RelationshiJ?S

From first dates to last....

Besides all tl1e school stress ranging from grades to teachers, one of the biggest stress issues was dating.

Whether your first date was going to the movies or even to homecoming, dating affected most everyone, from an embarrassing moment on a date to even embarrassing yourself in front of your senior crush.

In a survey, a majori1y of seniors agreed that high school dating is pointless. Most students said they go on their first actual date when they are freshmen. The most common date consisted of going out to dinner and an 14 Shtcle~~ Ltf e

appropriate movie. Several students reflected on dating dilemmas. • Sophomore Zachary Johnson has had his ups and downs of dating. His worst date was a grenade. The best was at Worlds of Fun. As for the worst breakup, he was dating a girl for two years and she broke up with him for his friend

One girl that would never break his heart would be Megan ~ox, his celebri1y crush. He would take her out to dinner any day.

As for tips, he said, "Don't judge a girl by facebook, it is very deceiving. Don't tell people your number on Omegle. They will never stop texting you. Buy them lots of stuff and

give them love."

Freshman David Laird's first kiss was when he was l 2 at the house of the girl he was dating His most embarrassing date was when he had to leave early . His first date was at the house of the girl he liked . He met her parents for the first time and had dinner with them. The best date he has ever been on was a dinner date at the Venue Laird also has a celebri1y crush on movie star Megan Fox.

"When I saw her in 'Transformers' I knew she was one," he exclaimed. As for high school crushes Laird had a secret love for a freshman.

Lauren Mulgrue (senior)

Is dating a senior from Southeast as of October 20 l O. Before dating him her first date was when she and her date had their parents drop them off just to go to dinner and a movie. The best date she had ever been on was a walk around Holmes Lake at sunset, where they looked at the stars.

Mulgrue has had her share of bad dates. One time she went to dinner that she paid for, and then she was dropping him off at his house and his mom yelled at her and told her to never come back!

"It was just so upsetting. After that I did not go another date with him," she said.

On a better note, if she could have a dream date it would be with Brad Pitt on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Other than her celebrity crush Brad Pitt, her biggest crush was on a senior when she was a freshman. "He was a big football player and I was secretly in love," she said.

Gavin Friehauf (junior)

Knows the entire do's and don'ts of dating. "Pay for your date and don't check out other girls while you're with your girlfriend."

Friehauf's first kiss was a dare in the fifth grade at his friend's house. Being such a romantic at a young age, his first date was the typical at the movies. The best date by far was driving to go to the Omaha Zoo and after they ate dinner. Luckily he has never had a traumatic break up.

"It was never really bad. We just didn't talk for awhile," he said.

His celebrity crush is Hayden Panettiere, the young actress best known in "Bring It On." "She's a beautiful cheerleader."

Hannah Cornish (sophomore)

Has had some of the cutest dates, with her first date going to the park.

"We climbed tress and flew a kite. The best date was at a concert or on Christmas going to dinner and the movies," said Cornish.

As for embarrassing, she has had a traumatic experience by falling down the stairs and tore two muscles in her shoulder.

Ashton Kutcher is one guy she would love to go on a date with. Her ideal date with him would be going sky-diving or bungee jumping. She says when you're on a date, enjoy the person's company and just have fun, but don't text or call constantly.

Yasmine Kamelian (freshman)

If she could have a dream date with anyone she would go out to dinner with all star Portuguese soccer player Christiano Ronaldo. She would probably follow the do's and don'ts that she uses.

"Always brush your teeth before you go, bring gum. Make sure you have chopstick or lip-gloss. Wear clothes that are comfortable and cute. Never put your date on the spot with personal or embarrassing questions. Never bring up your ex's, don't talk about depressing things and try to keep things light, · easy and fun!"

Kamelian has also long distance dated but it only lasted for two weeks. She said ifs boring because you never get to see them, plus you can get really insecure because you don't know if they are cheating or not.

The J;araID.ie Project'

Fall play. a breaJh-baking experience

Discrimination has always been an issue in society. "The Laramie Project' depicts interviews done by the Tectonic Theatre Project about the 1998 murder of 21-yearold Matthew Shepard, a gay man who lived in Laramie, Wyoming. Performances occurred on Sept. 30 and Oct l and 3

The play conveys a strong and emotional message about hate that many people can relate to. "The Laramie Project" is probably the most unique play Southwest has put on since it opened because of the issues it addresses and the way it was produced

"There is no "safe" show that will please everyone," said play

director Bob Henrichs. 'We received letters of complaint when we did shows like 'The Wizard of OZ', 'Footloose' and 'Beauty and the Beasr." Henrichs chose this play as part of his master's degree project.

Senior Emily Schmidt said, "I think ifs a bold choice in a good way. We're confronting issues and sending some very powerful messages." Schmidt played three of the roles that make up the cast including Reggie Fluty, Rebecca Hilliker and Zubaida Ula.

The structure of the play was a lot different than past years. "The Laramie Project" is a documentary styled production and focuses more on the acting rather than technical aspects. Each person involved in the

STOP THE HATE. Cast members watch a slide show at the end of the play The slide show consisted of pictures of Matt Shepard in the happy moments before his life ended. It also displays other rallies supporting him and his cause hosted by friends, family and other gay right supporters .

play was given two, three or even more roles to portray Many actors felt that having more roles made the play a fun and unique challenge.

"I just love having the opportunity to play different roles and searching to find contrasts between them," senior Emma Gruhl said. Cast members hoped the play will would open people's eyes about the consequences of hate .

Senior Austin Blankenau, who plays the role of Matthew Shepard's father, said, "Hate is so embedded in our lifestyle that most people don't realize what they are saying can cause a great deal of pain."

Silly Bands

You can't walk down the hallways without seeing a student wearing silly bands. Silly bands appeared at the end of last year and have rapidly gained popularity since then. Trading silly bands and comparing the fun shapes you have collected are what make silly bands so popular and fun.

£xpress Yourself

Fads, fashion, fun combine to make you be you

With a piethora of colorful people, Southwest has a melting pot of diversity that can be defined in many ways.

What really inspires people to express themselves in the way that they do?

The "look" can be telling. " I decided to get a sun with a cross in the middle because I wanted something unique, that no one else had and I thought it looked cool ," senior Jay Holechek said.

Holechek one day was bored and decided to give himself two tattoos. One is a cross on his forearm which he plans to have professionally fixed and the other is a Japanese symbol on his back that means

warrior. Holechek has no other reason for giving himself tattoos. He said it was just something to do.

Juniors Grace Jacobson and Shelby Landreth chose to express themselves by wearing the latest Japanese fashion called Lolita. Jacobson is more into Wa Lolita while Landreth is more into Gothic Lolita. Wa Lolita is more traditional and with a touch of a punkier side Gothic Lolita is more of the typical Goth look with black boots and extremely bright colors.

" I've been to Japan once and I fell in love with their fashion. It's more eccentric than fashion in the U.S. It can range from all black to being absolutely colorful," Jacobson said Jacobson has also been fortu-

note enough to host four foreign exchange students at her home, all from Japan.

"I really like having foreign exchange students because its nice to have someone to talk about cultures with and play anime with," she said Landreth chooses Gothic Lolita because of the bright colors.

"I love how the bright colors look against black. It really makes it stand • out," Landreth said.

Southwest students find many different ways to express themselves. Whether they chose to do it artistically musically or athletically, students here were born to stand out and express themselves.

Crea.tive Minds 0£ Our Generation

The world demands Ininds like theirs

Their eyes tell silent stories, and they contribute creative content to our community. Many students interested in fine art have some of the best chances to have their art and talent displayed through classes.

But other students' talents may be hidden in the shadows of those who are already recognized for their art. They have the passion for their ideas, and the world demands minds like theirs.

Junior Rebecca Denell is talented in many ways. She can make anything art, including her photographs, sketches, paintings and even clothes. Her inspiration of becoming an artist came from her grandfather who would create stories and make her illustrate what was happening. Her parents saw the artistic ability that Denell had and bought her a new camera for her birthday. This gave

her something new to work with.

This past year Denell took her talent to a whole new level and now is making herself known. She went from taking embarrassing close up shots of her older sister to designing themed photo shoots. She does mostly high fashion photography including shoots of the board game Clue, animals, paint and even a Candyland shoot.

"lrs super easy to become a photographer, but people often forget that you need much more than a camera," Denell said.

Denell's goal is to become a famous photographer. A huge part of why Denell does photography is to be able to tell a story through her art and find a way to get to people. She wants to find a way to mix all of the different elements of photography and combine them into one. She feels that , it is important that she express her art in a

feeling that not only she knows but others understand as well.

RACHEL DOWD

Junior Rachel Dowd has been dancing at True Dance Academy since she was 4 years old. She began to dance after being inspired by her older sister, Elizabeth, also a dancer. Dowd participates in a variety of different dance classes including ballet, lyrical, jazz, hip-hop , contemporary and tap.

Through the many years of dance Dowd has progressed a lot and is involved in many different dance activities. She has been an Emerald at Southwest for two years now, and is a member of the Lincoln Midwest Ballet Company. She also has danced in LMBC's production of the Nutcracker since she was 8, and she has performed the big roles of Snow Queen , Arabian Princess and Clora and also danced the lead role in LMBC's production of "Snow White" last spring.

In the past she has studied at many summer dance programs Some of these include Pittsburg Youth Ballet, Ballet Austin, Chautauqua School of Dance, Kansas City Ballet and Ballet Chicago Advanced Intensive. She also has spent the past three summers at Pacific Northwest in Seattle, and the past two summers at Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in New York and most recently Boston Ballet.

"My favorite thing about dance is that it gives me an opportun ity to express myself and it gives me a chance to travel and meet other people with the same interests. Plus I am the happiest when I am dancing," Dowd said.

She would love to dance in a professional ballet company or attend a college and major in dance.

LUKE NISPEL

Sophomore Luke Nispel has been doodling all his life. His mother encouraged him to do art as a kid and he ended up taking his first art class in seventh grade. When he first started becoming an artist Nispel actually could not draw at all until he was in his first art class and suddenly it just clicked. Not knowing what kind of talent he had, Nispel began by painting his very first painting of a bowl of fruit in his kitchen.

"I cringe when I look at it now, but everyone has to start somewhere," Nispel said. But now Nispel has improved his art and has created many pieces of art including his most recent painting about sculpture for the 201 0 Cattleman's Ball.

"My mom was the one who had inspired me and gave me the passion but it was God who gave me my talent. I am so blessed to have such a talent," Nispel explained. Nispel loves to portray feeling and thoughts through his art. He explained that he wants his viewers to puzzle over it and wants them to think of it in many different ways and maybe find a way for them to relate to it.

''My strongest talent is detail in anything, but my favorite is painting. I love the flow and loose feel of it. I love the mess it leaves on your skin and picking the remains of your art from the crevasses of your finger nails, knowing it was a creation well done," Nispel said. Nispel's goal is to go to college on a scholarship for art and eventually be a successful graphic designer.

BEN FISCHBEIN

Senior Ben Fischbein is a singer and guitar player for a band called Silent Havok. The band just recently recruited new members to join the band consists of a bass player Payne Schwerdtfeger, guitar player Evan Potter, Hayden Florum on drums, along with Fischbein on guitar and vocals.

The band believes that they will do fine with the new members since they have been successful in the past. They have won four battle of the bands and made a couple of albums.

Fischbein, who had once lived in California, also knows some people that have a clothing shop there.

"I became reconnected with them now that I am in Nebraska and the shop prints out our band's t-shirts and whatever else we want made to help promote the band," Fischbein said.

Fischbein explained that if it wasn't for his dad, he doesn't know if he would be where he is now with the band. Fischbein said his dad would play music non-stop around the house and even bought him his first guitar. He is so thankful his dad brought music into his life considering that its what he loves to do now.

He stated their latest album "Choke The Silence" came out April 201 O and a new album called "On My Own" said to come out late November 2010. In the future, Fischbein hopes he and his band will get signed with a record company and become famous.

Ha-wks Stay Green

It's easier than ever to do the rtght thing

Trash on the ground, smog in the air and oil in the water. The world became more polluted each day, but there were ways for people to help out and go green

Saving the environment became more convenient. Recycling bins are now usually placed right next to trash cans so its easier to do the right thing and recycle. Some homes can recycle by just putting a bin on the end of their driveway.

'We put the recyclable items in the blue container and put it out in front of the street to get picked up," said senior Allie Hurlbut

There are many ways for people to make a difference in the world. Students have their own ideas on how they can stay green

Sophomore Ryan Carstenson said,

"Don't throw away stuff."

Sophomore Parker Stock said to "ride a bike."

Senior Allison Bennett said, "Recycle and use green items around your house, like reuse water bottles "

With gas prices constantly fluctuating, carpooling became more practical than ever. The average gas price of 20 l O was · $2.75. People can save the environment and money at the same time.

Senior Hannah Schlemmer and junior Halley Schlemmer are sisters that share a car and carpool. They take turns filling up the gas tank and decide who gets the car based on their schedules. It can get complicated when they both need the car, but they can ask their parents or a friend for a ride.

Even though recycling is getting easier to do, some students admit that they litter

"If I do litter it's because I'm too lazy to find a trash can or recycling bin ," said freshman Alex Clark .

The question, paper or plastic , is now being replaced with reusable canvas bags. People can request for the cashiers to put their items in the reusable bags. Now people don't have to worry about trees getting cut down for paper bags or plastic bags that don 't compoSt ,

Even though people are going green, there is still a lot of pollution occurring in the world. For example, the BP oil spill contaminated the Gulf of Mexico , killing many animals and infecting the water

Night at the Circus'

Introducing new rules and new consequences

With almost seven hours of school, the varsity football game at 4:30 p.m. and the dance starting at 8, students who attended the Homecoming festivities didn't have much time to spare Sept. 24.

The halls were filled with crazy outfits the week of Sept. 2024 for Spirit Week. Monday was Tie Dye, Tuesday was What Not to Wear, Wednesday was Superfan and Thursday was Animal. Ending the week on Friday was LSW Spirit to send off the football team. The Silver Hawks took on North Platte, w inning 36-18.

"Night at the Circus" was the Homecoming dance theme chosen by the cheerleaders and Emeralds

John Jaso and Abby Flory were crowned as homecoming King and Queen at the dance. The other nominees were Taylor Elgin, Danielle Parde, Tori Greene, Morgan Emmert, Nam Tran, Conner Koerperich, Matt Sherrill and Austin Tompkins.

Students of all grades danced until l l p m. having a blast whether it was their f irst or last homecoming. The attendance count was about 775.

A new rule for homecoming this year was that only Southwest students we re allowed to attend the dance. As people entered the dance they were each given a green wristband to wear If a student got two marks on their wristband , they must leave. Chaperones watched over the students

to make sure students were dancing appropriately.

"Its dumb because people have friends and boyfriends and girlfr iends that go to other schools," sophomore Hannah Cornish said.

Junior Dalton Kellogg agre e d, "I think it ruined a lot of people's plans and not as many people went."

The night after Homecoming, Sept . 25, a "fake" homecoming called "Fall Ball" was hosted by parents at the Hillcrest Country Club. At this dance the new rules were not enf or ced. Students could bring dates or fr iends from other schools It was estimated that about 430 people attended.

First Winter Musical

·White Christmas' draws large crowds

''W hite Christmas" directed by Bob Henrichs, was one of the first musical winter plays put on by the Silverhawk Theatre. The performances occurred in the evenings of Dec. 9-11 and 1 7-19.

The play depicts Bob Wallace played by senior Austin Blankenou and Phil Davis played by junior Harrison Drake, two friends and former army members that share a musical act on the Ed Sullivan show.

It also stars sisters Betty Haynes pl ayed by senior Danielle Parde and Judy Haynes played by freshman Annaleise Saathoff. These two are an aspiring musical act looking for a shot at the big time. The Haynes sisters and Ed Sullivan show stars cross

paths and so begins a Christmas tale and love story all in one.

"My favorite part of the play was all the dancing involved." said ensemble member senior Brett Bancroft. "I liked taking part in the play because of all the performances."

'White Christmas" contained a lot of big musical numbers that required a lot of dancing skills. The performers practiced hard in order to be prepared.

'When I started this show I had two left feet. Now that its over I can at least do synchronized movements," said Blankenau. "The feeling of doing something ridiculously difficult and actually pulling it off, you can't beat that."

One of the big numbers included "Sisters," an act performed by Parde

and Saathoff. A reprise of that son g was also performed by Blankenau and Drake. Another famous act w 1s "Blue Skies" which involved a large number of the cast.

Performing a play like this was very different than those previously performed at Southwest. Because of all the vocal and dancing perfor mances, this play really challenge o the cast

Everyo ne needs some advice 3ry now a nd then. Between keeping good g rad es and still having a ~ial life , sch ool can make you pretty izy.

High school is made so we e a place to go to get away from everyday lives to learn Yet there is much mo re to school than learning Dra m a is huge in high school

and sometimes it seems like our world is unraveling . Little do we know its only a speed bump in our lives that will hopefully make us stronger. Friends always seem like ci huge priority When in reality our main priority at school needs to be our school work. Without all of the drama and without friends what would high school be like? Would we have any funny stories to tell? Like falling going up the

stairs or being to school late because we didn't hear the alarm.

Some of us have had bad break ups, dealt with parental pressure or had mean teachers . But we have survived. We stand here today ready for the next day to come, stronger than before and this is how WE survived .

The winds of change

This volleyball season had many changes that were made. All high school volleyball teams switched over to a tricolor ball. The reason for this change was to try and make high school volleyball more like the collegiate level to prepare girls for the future.

Assistant coach Nicole Kubik said that NSAA are just trying to create high school volleyball at a 2 college level.

Another change in the season was that the state tournament would be held in Grand Island instead of in Lincoln. With so many changes the girls would not be affected.

Kubik stated that she didn 't think that the team would be affected. Everything is the same just a different location.

• "I also don't think the fans not coming will hinder our performance because the fan base here isn't as strong and the girls are used to it," said Kubik.

Varsity Volleyball

Girls find team chemistry

Varsity Volleyball looked promising with l O returners, eight of which were seniors.

Coach Mary Schropher said the reason the team was so successful this season was because the amazing team chemistry the team had.

" We have really come together as a team this year and played well," said senior Sarah Faubel.

Senior Mackenzie Ashton agreed with Faubel.

"This year were more comfortable and open with each other which allows us to trust each other on the court," Ashton said.

The girls ended up 28-8, finishing fourth at state, after going into the tournament as the district champions. The girls also won the Silver Star tournament and the Columbus triangular, and competed well against Papillion La Vista South, the number one team in the state and nation, In regular season, they took one set from them.

Junior Maggie Anderson led the team in assists and Ashton led the team in digs.

The team goal was to make it to state and advance farther than they ever had before. Down two sets in the first game at state, the team came from behind to defeat Papillion LaVista in five. In semifinals, they lost to Millard North in four.

"State this year was such a great experience. Although we weren't in Lincoln, it was fun being able to stay together as a team . Our team has such great team chemistry both on and off the court," Faubel said.

The team will always remember the volleyball traditions they had, like praying in the locker room before games, listening to music, team dinners before game days, going to state, and of course, "Big sister, Little sister."

Practice Hard Play Harder

Junior Varsity, Reserve and Freshman·Volleyball

Loud cheers fill the stands as an intense game takes over the court. Bump, set, spike, score Silver Hawks! None of these scenes would have been possible without the d~termined teamwork and dedication it takes to play volleyball.

"Our reserve team works very well together. We don't play as individuals, we come together to play as a team," said reserve player Niki Hevelone.

The freshman, reserve and JV teams practiced hard each weekday after school to achieve their goals.

Tryouts for volleyball were intense.

"You have to make a good impression from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, and have a good attitude." said freshman team member Rachel Burress. Every year anywhere up to l 5 girls can make each volleyball team, but only six girls play at one time.

"To even have a chance at winning a game, your team has to work very well together." said JV player, junior Sarni Nelson. "Our JV team is very close and we're all friends. Because of that we seem to play well on the court."

Each volleyball team had their own traditions.

"Our volleyball team does a unique 'clap line' to congratulate each other. Every other person stands up or squats down and our team mates run down the line and clap our hands," said freshman team member Tara Brookhouser.

"On reserve, whenever Megan Hastings scores a point, the team yells 'Yeah Hastings!"' said sophomore Cami Kopetka.

"We have a lot of team dinners together," Nelson said. "Having these dinners really helps us bond and get to know one another."

"For me volleyball is more than a sport because you make new friends, get involved with and represent the school," said JV player, sophomore Cecilia George.

Varsity'S- JV Girls Golf

Girls take on state!

"You have to learn how to play within yourself to get better," is the advice Coach Jim Danson gives to the varsity girls golf team.

The talented team consisted of seniors Brianna Beard, Kirsten Bjorman and juniors Emma Mabry, Gentry Carveth, Ariel Blackman and Makenna Kroeker. Mabry and Carveth kicked the season off with top scores the first tournament, leading Southwest to first place with a score of 35 l at the East Kickoff Tournament on Aug. 19.

Both the varsity and junior varsity improved a lot since last year with their consistency and being positioned better. They strived for improvement and practiced a lot. "The team also had better chemistry, which allowed them to play better," said Danson.

Golf is an individual sport and a team sport, in Bjorman's opinion. "It is also a mind game and takes patience."

Traveling was a factor that played a big part in the season because many of the varsity and junior varsity tournaments were out of town. Only three tournaments and districts were held in Lincoln. The girls also missed part of school once a week because most of their tournaments were in the morning.

With golf came challenges the girls were faced with each time they stepped on the course. The challenges were different for each player and they each had different ways of dealing with them.

"Keeping a good attitude when I'm not playing" was the challenge for junior Ariel Blackman.

From the words of Danson, "Conquer yourself, then conquer the course."

The girls made it to state again which took place on Oct. l 2 in Norfolk. Mabry tied for seventh place with a score of l 73. Gentry placed at l 5 with a score of l 76 for the twoday event. Story/spread by Ashley Kent

How to serve a tennis ball!

Serving is not as easy as it looks, there are many different ways to serve. One of the ways is the "basic serve."

·Your left foot points more towards the net :. '{ . ,,,.· post, and your right foot , .. : .. I > \

1

is parallel to the base line with the ball in your finger tips.

·Start your toss up with the ball over your left foot. Pull your racket back.

·Lean back and have your elbow bent back. Start to straighten your legs and pull your wrist up and forward to hit the ball. ·Meet the ball high, about a foot above your head. And be ready to follow through. ·Follow through, your right foot will come over the baseline. Your racquet will finish on your left side and you will have leaned far enough over the baseline. Now that you know how to serve, get out there and play!

BoysTenniS Varsity takes 3rd_ at state

,, We play and act as one" said freshman C.J. Sjulin. That was the good attitude for the boys tennis team as they pushed through their season and dominated on the court. The boys stuck together and pulled all of their efforts into one.

The varsity team started off well and ended well, finishing their season with great scores, which led to 3rd place at state.

Seniors Drew Bartek and P.J. Bell led in number 1 doubles much of the season. Bell and Bartek placed first in number one doubles at the Heartland Conference. And Sjulin placed sixth in number 1 singles. Sjulin was one of the team's strongest players. Sjulin placed third in number one singles at the Heartland Conference and first at many other matches.

"When we aren't playing matches we usually are cheering on our teammates or just goofing around eating snacks," said senior Nick Hamilton. The team loved to hang out together and were close.

Junior Cale Neelly said one of his favorite things about being on the team was the bonding experience. The JV team also did well; Nick Clayburn emerged as the top singles player for the team.

•"We had a great season due to the fact that our talent was so high and our players were so close in their tennis ability. I'm very proud of the whole team that played hard all season," said JV coach Chris Salem.

Reserve did good as well. They won the city tournament at the end of their season. "I love feeling a part of something bigger than myself," said sophomore Andrew Epperson.

Rey, Coach

Ryan Salem was first inspired to run by his older brother who made him run with him so he had someone to beat Even though his older brother tortured Salem, he began to love it.

When Salem was in high school he volunteered as a coach for a middle school cross-country team. He explained that he became a coach because he loves working with kids and loves being able to run with them.

In '97, Salem ran cross country for Wesleyan and was a NCAA allAmerican. He has now been running for 20 years, and has a lot of experience to share with his team. He also runs for a club team called Team Nebraska-Brooks.

Salem said varsity did well finishing second at districts and qualifying for state. The boys were ranked in the top ten this whole year, and Salem hoped they would be ranked in the top five at state.

Boys Cross Country-

Sacrificing the gilt

Cross Country did not require tryouts, just the willingness of the runners to dedicate themselves to hard work. As a result, a wide array of people showed up for the first day of practice. Throughout the year, however, the boys discovered that while anyone can run, it takes more to be successful.

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."

Many members of the boys Cross Country team admired this quote by Steve Prefontaine. He was a long-distance runner, who once held the American record in the seven distance track events from the 2,000 meters to the l 0,000 meters, but then died at the age of 24 in a drunk driving car accident.

The quote inspired the team to be focused but have fun at the same time. They realized that if they have a gift, they need to be willing to sacrifice what they have.

Salem explained that keeping his team motivated is one of the hardest things to do in cross country. Unlike other sports where running is usually a punishment, in this case its a way to sacrifice yourself in something you love.

"Pain is temporary and glory is forever," Salem said

Both varsity and JV teams did well. To pump up for their meets the team would get together before and have spaghetti feeds and some bonding time.

The boys got second at districts and qualified for state. Top runners consisted of Lucas Keifer with a time of 16:45, Drew Willis with l 7 :08, Connor Marshall with l 7 :02, Noah Burke with 17: 12, Greg Atkin with 17:36, and Scott Ingham with 17:45.

The boys were ranked in the top ten during the season. They then placed ninth at state.

Hillis earns 3rd at state

"Running has been my number one activity since -freshman year," said Mary Hillis, a junior and a varsity runner since freshman year.

An all around kind person, Hillis was a big deal in the high school cross country world. She took third at state in 2009 and maintained ~ that place at state this year. At the Titan Classic she won first place with a time of 15:50 minutes .

Hillis joined the cross country team because of the people. "Ifs really fun and the atmosphere is just so wonderful," she said.

"My whole family comes and watches me at every race My teammates and coaches are another big support group. I couldn 't do it without them."

Girls Cross Co~try

Girls set new standards

Sweat drips, hearts pound, feet push against the grass. Adrenaline rushes through the {.,)) veins of the runners, as a breeze brushes across l their faces. That one single shot is the start of -< what feels like the longest run of their lives. d' Following the lines around trees and across long paths, these runners learn to pace themselves -+, • for far distances.

This is a typical day in the life of a cross l... country runner.

On Sept. 27, at the Kearney Invite the team score was 91 , third place for girls cross -t- . country. Their top finish and first place holder was junior Mary Hillis with a time of 15: 14, just shy of beating her personal best 15: 12.

Most people think that cross country is all about winning, but in reality its about the runners pacing themselves and getting a new personal best.

At the LPS Championship Oct. 3rd, the team score was 52, an improvement for the whole team. Top finishes were Hillis in first with a time of 15:23, freshman Mckenna Dodd in fifth place with a time of 16:04, and freshman Anna Hurlbut in sixth place, her time being 16:09.

This vigorous sport is important to those who run it. It is their passion and they focus entirely on what they are doing during a meet.

"I run because its the sport I feel most comfortable doing," said sophomore Valerie Peterson, who ran varsity. Peterson was later injured and unable to run, but still cheered on her fellow runners.

Hillis said, "I run for me and my team, and because I love it."

At districts the team won first place, a great accomplishment. They went home with sixth place at state. Hillis finished third.

Coach Ryan Salem said,"Over all we had a great year. With three underclassmen girls in the top 20, I expect great things."

Varsity Softball

Girls win big at districts

With l O returning starters, the two-time back-to - back defending state champions were fearless and a threat to all of their competition

Varsity softball team was hoping to win state for the third year in a row, a 3-peat. They finished the regular season with a record of 256.

The majority of the varsity team has been playing softball for their whole life. It wasn't just a game , it was a lifestyle for the players Freshman catcher Megan May, had been playing softball for nine years This was May's first year on varsity.

The majority of the teammates returned from 2010. In fact, l O of the 13 players were back from last year's varsity team Senior Alex Schmidt had .been on varsity ever since she moved here her sophomore year She also plans to play in college.

"I love everything about softball, except for the feeling of dirt in your socks," senior Georgia King said. The girls were dedicated and set on winning state once again. One of their toughest competitors was Papillion-LaVista South

"I know no other way than to play all out," said sophomore left fielder Bailey Schulenberg, as she described her devotion to the team. The team had great spirit as a whole and worked together magnificently. They set difficult goals both individually and as a team, but not impossible goals.

"My goal is to be the starting pitcher for LSW," said sophomore Allyssa Castoral. "I love the competition and the adrenalin I get when I pitch." Castoral also plays outfield when she is not throwing strikes.

Schmidt related her motives for softball by the quote, 'We're in it to win it. We go big or we go home ."

They ended up winning the game 7-6. This was the first time the reserve team had beat Grand Island in three years. Southwest softball kicked it up a notch on all levels. The JV team won the city tournament and the LSW JV tournament. Their record was 20-2. Reserve was 12-6

"I enjoy coaching softball because I just love any opportun ity to work with students. Second ly • softball players are a bit of a different breed from basketball players or volleyball players. They are tougher!" junior varsity coach Jeff Rump said. "You have to admire anyone who will slide on hard agrilime covered clay, wearing shorts. "

Every softball player has their own technique with a different way to play the game But they make one team

Reserve coach Chris DeAmbrose said, "I like to coach because I like the game. It's a lot of fun to see a group of players who have not played together before become a team together "

Reserve sophomore Tori Vanderbeek was encouraged by the quote, "You can't control what the ump calls or the mistakes your teammates make. All you can control is how you react to it and come back stronger the next inning."

Sophomore junior varsity player Marisa Laue said, "I want to do the best that I can and most of all have fun."

DeAmbrose said, "In pre-game in the outfield practice, Mikayla Nelson was known as the 'fence magnet because somehow she always found a way to run into the fence. Luckily, she was never injured but she has the scars and bruises to show how well she knows the fences at Doris Bair Field. "

Rump said, "Most of our funny moments usually involve someone saying or doing something silly and that is usually an everyday occurrence."

Southwest softball was definitely the place to be From the records, to the skill, all the way to the team atmospheres; the Hawks, always bring what they got.

Varsity Football Boys qualify for state

Varsity football took time, hard work and determination. The team spent so much time together with practices, games, traveling and pregame meals, that it was hard not to become a family during the season.

The best part of being on varsity football for senior lineman Aaron Arauco was "going to all the games and having fun."

During practice, the team had an opportunity to train and improve their skills. It also gave them time to lift and get stronger so they could be at their best. They did everything they could to improve themselves and their teammates.

"During practice we work hard and learn plays." said senior lineman Zach Martin.

The team had many different plays that they worked on during the season.

"Victory is my favorite play because that means the game is over and we're going home with a victory," said senior tight end Alex Peiman.

Southwest had many rivals during the season. The biggest rival was Southeast and it has been that way since Southwest opened.

"LSE is by far our biggest competition. Every game we play against them it takes our best effort. Games like that is when your true colors show," said junior line backer and full back Keegan Sheridan.

The homecoming game was played against North Platte. The Hawks came out with a big win, 28 to 3, during this home game.

In the end, the boys qualified for state. They made it to the first round of playoffs and played Millard South at Buell Stadium in Omaha. During the third quarter, the Hawks were catching up with a score of 10 to 14. The Hawks lost the game with a score of 16 to 28, which knocked them out of play offs. The team ended their season with a record of 5-5.

F reshman, Reserve and JV Football

The skill to win is im!X)rlant, but the will to win is vital

The blow of the whistle starts the intense practices of football. Each long day of practice gets hotter and hotter,

and each day is a new challenge.

Junior Michael Heibel described practice as competitive and tiring. Besides all the hard work the freshmen, reserve, and JV players had memorable moments.

For the freshmen it was winning their first game, agreed Zach Guenther and Avery Prai. For reserve player Jordan Peet, the most memorable moment was beating Lincoln High. Junior Brady Eklund said it was "smashing Northeast' in JV.

Being a team player was a really big deal. Each of the teams had to work together. Prai's favorite thing about being on the team was working together.

"Our chemistry, we are all like brothers to each other," he said Just like Prai, sophomore Alex Embree enjoyed being on the team because he got to be with his friends. As team players they learn a lot from fellow teammates. ·They even learn enough to give advice to future players

Players had advice on said something that has helped them. Guenther said to work as hard as you can; Prai said to play hard and be a team leader on and off the field; Embree said to always work hard and listen to coaches; Peet said to be athletic, work out, and have a positive attitude; Eklund said to work hard and don't fake injuries; and Heibel said to go hard all the time.

Being the best meant competing against the best. All of the teams' toughest competition was Southeast. The boys worked to finish strong in the end and show good sportsmanship.

In the end the boys had a good season of wins and losses. But in the end they were all winners for giving it their all. The freshman finished 2-6 , and the reserves and JV both ended with 5-3 records. No matter where they were designated to play, home or away, one thing the players will never forget is the time and effort needed to defeat their competition in the end.

Injuries on tlie team

When senior Tina Fontroy tore her ACL in her knee last July, she had to put basketball and her team on hold She was sidelined for five games before Christmas but was then cleared part time towards the end of December. It wasn't until February that Fantroy was cleared full time to play again.

Senior Jenna Cunningham also tore her ACL towards the end of her basketball season.

"In our Benson game I was jumping up for the ball and when I landed my knee just went out," said Cunningham. Her recovery was to take six to eight months. Due to the injury, she missed the end of basketball regular season, her spring high school soccer season and also half of her summer soccer season and conditioning.

V amity Girls Basketball

Girls make it to district final

Whether it was playing on the court, or hanging out outside of basketball, the varsity girls basketball team was practically a family.

The girls had a very successful season, finishing ( 1 7-6) and finished one game short of making it into the state tournament. That was definitely something to cheer about.

A highlight from this season was when the Southwest girls beat Northeast in overtime. This event was a memorable event for most of the girls on the team.

The girls played against a lot of strong teams. Senior Jenna Cunningham said, "The most difficult teams to play against would have been Southeast and Millard West because both have very strong offensive and defensive players."

The team also had many fun times outside of basketball such as going bowling at Parkway Lanes and having the team party at the end of the season.

"I love the team! We all get along so well and we play for each other! I just love the game of basketball. It is so fun to play!" sophomore Lauren Works said.

This season Works broke her own threepoint school record.

"The most memorable thing for me this season would have to be just seeing the girls improve and seeing Tina overcome her knee injury," said coach Lis Brenden.

Having senior Tina Fantroy out for five games before Christmas, and playing only part time up until February was tough on the team but they pulled through and ended the season with 1 7 wins.

"My favorite part of playing basketball is being with my teammates and working together," Cunningham said.

Being on a team was all about the teamwork.

Carveth for the win

Junior Gentry Carveth has been a part of Southwest basketball for three years, starting on the freshman team and making her way up to junior varsity.

"I've progressed a lot in the past three years. My skills have gotten a lot better and I've improved the way I play," Carveth said.

When they weren't practicing, the team spent quality time together to improve team bonding and relationships.

"My favorite part of the season was team dinners ," Carveth said.

Carveth said she was a part of a really fun team this year. They worked hard and worked together to finish with a great season. Story by Katelyn Crew and Jenny Wehrli

Shooting to Win Junior Varsity, Reserve and Freshman Basketball

l-l ard work and team effort were relentless throughout the season for girls JV, reseNe and freshman basketball. The season was all about accomplishing both individual and team goals and more importantly, going above and beyond with teamwork.

Good teamwork was inspired by team chemistry. Players bonded with the rest of their team along with the coaches.

Junior Monica Smid said, "Our team is like a family because we sometimes fight but we always come together. We also get annoyed of each other because · we're like sisters, but at the end of the day we're all laughing again."

Junior varsity was coached by Nicole Kubik and assisted by Anna McVay. They held a record of l 0-8. One of their main goals was to improve their skills and work hard as a team every game. A tradition they had was to receive a John Wooden quote every first practice of the week.

Freshman Baleigh Miller said, "My most memorable moment of being on the JV team this year was totally falling on my face the first practice we had. It was really embarrassing at first, but then I realized the rest of the team is just as uncoordinated as I am."

ReseNe was coached by Khari Wallace and ended the season with a 9-3 record. They were able to push themselves each game to keep their winning season alive.

Sophomore Taylor Sherrill said, "Our team was always tight. We worked hard together and had a good record."

Freshman was coached by Alisha Stopp, who worked hard with her team of only nine girls. They ended their season with a record of 6- l 0. They had to push themselves and work hard to keep their heads in the game.

Freshman Kali Schwenke said, "My favorite part of the season was knowing we improved and practicing with Coach Stopp,"

Girls basketball wasn't all centered around intense practices and hard work. A majority of the time the girls enjoyed bus rides, team dinners and just being around each other. Part of being on the team was just getting to know new people and making bonds that they would always remember.

arsity Boys Basketball

Boys look to teamwork

The Southwest boys varsity basketball team opened with a roller coaster season. Finishing with a l 3- l 0 record.

Head coach Duane Baack said, "This team was very hard working team and fun to coach!" He said the only thing he would have changed about the season was that he wanted to play more games during the postseason.

The boys won the HAC tournament beating Lincoln Southeast and winning with a 44-39 lead. This was the Hawks' second time in three years to win it.

The boys lost to Southeast during districts, 58-55 at Omaha Bryan during the semi-finals of city districts

Seniors Ty Headley and Dylan Heath, both key players, were the "go to players ," according to Baack. "They were our leaders."

Along with Headley and Heath, seniors Shane Davidson and Kit Lofgreen were also key players.

Heath, who was on varsity all four years, said he liked being one that was depended on during the games,

"I liked the pressure that it brought." Heath plans to continue playing basketball when he attends college. Most of the boys plan on playing some kind of sport in college whether it be basketball , baseball or soccer. Overall the boys enjoyed their season. They had a team dinner before their last game and celebrated during senior night at one of the games. The boys said their favorite part was getting to play with their teammates, and just have fun.

It was sad to the senior boys because it was their last season. "I was pretty sad cause I won't play basketball like this again," said senior Shane Davidson. The season is over but the boys will never forget the memories made.

let's take a closer look

The JV coach Tony Kobza, was is also a business teacher and sponsors the DECA club.

Kobza enjoys coaching and loves the game of basketball. Most of his players enjoyed the chance to be able to play for him. Kobza has gotten the chance to become a lot closer with the guys on his team this year because of his friendly personality. He was able to throw up the Taylor Gang symbol at practice and in games with the rest of the team. One game he even threw up the "Taylor Gang" symbol for a play. (For those of you who don't know what Taylor Gang is, it is Wiz Khalifa's symbol for his gang. The JV team members also mentioned that Kobza did a great job in pumping them up f or the games. Some speeches even gave the players goose bumps and would ma ke them all pumped up to give it all they had and win the game. Story by Kasha Meye r

Dedication and Determination · I JV, Reserve and Freshman &sketball

Being on the JV, reserve, or freshman basketball teams took a lot of dedication. Team members would have to wake up early on Saturdays for practice and also attend practice almost every day after school and sometimes to perfect their abilities and talents. They also usually had at least one or two games each week.

Many of these basketball! players acted as a family and not just teammates. Several members of the basketball program even road tripped to Oklahoma City for the Thunder vs. Trailblazers game to enjoy a couple days of team bonding and a good basketball game. During this time the team got to get really close together which carried over to the season on the court. The teammates could then communicate effectively on and off the court.

The players and coaches also went Christmas shopping for Cedars Kids. They all got to enjoy this experience and even more importantly, it went to a good cause.

The junior varsity team made it to the second round of their city tournament, placing second. The team lost to the Lincoln Southeast Knights by five points This was a good season for their team. They ended up with a winning record of l 3-8 which was one of their team goals.

Before each game the teams would listen to their ipods to get pumped up for the game The JV team would listen to Kobza give them great pump up speeches. They also prayed for their pre-game rituals.

"Gunnar would sing before every game to get the team pumped up," junior Derek Nordgren said.

Each time the team would walk on to the court they would have the idea in their mind that they had to leave everything on the court.

The reserve basketball team finished with a winning record as well. The team's overall record was l 0 -4. The reserve team's goal was to win city. One of the inside jokes that the reserve team had was "Johnson can't spell," sophomore Scott Harmens said. Before every game the coach, Chris Johnson, would say "this is another chance to play." This was one of the team's pre-game rituals.

The freshman basketball team had a good season also They finished with a 5- 7 record. The team was able to get closer with one another this year which will help them for the three more years to come. The freshman team's goal was also to win city but they fell short.

"My favorite part about this season was the North Star over-time win and the practices," team member Devin Stuek said.

Coach Aaron Finley said, 'We feel very good about Connor (Carstens)

being in the finals. But I also feel good about how all of our qualifiers competed."

Carstens finished second in the 125 2 _ weight class.

"I've been working at wrestling a long time and to finally come through when it counted was a big accomplishment for me . But I couldn't have done it without the help of my teammates and the great coaching staff," Carstens said

Also in state, junior Nathan Guyer placed 5th in the 215 weight class and junior Ricky Skillett placed 5th in l 30 weight class

Southwest finished with a l 6-3 dual record. Finley said, "I'm looking forward to next year's challenge of bringing home a trophy from next year's state meet "

JVIVarsity Wrestling

The boys bring the he.at

Pin em', take down, reversal, escape, near fall and back points were all common terms used in the world of wrestling.

"This year's team is very similar to last year's team in that we are all very close and selfless," coach Aaron Finley said. "We have more varsity experience, which has translated into a bit more of success on the mat."

The success resulted in sending nine wrestlers to state, including freshman Nick Vrbka, sophomores Evan Augustyn, Eric Oltman, Jared Torell, juniors Connor Carstens, Ricky Skillett, Trew Bushhousen, Nathan Guyer and senior Jay Holechek.

Oltman qualified for state when he took home the win in districts for the 285 heavy weight class.

Junior varsity wrestlers competed with the same effort as varsity.

Junior varsity wrestler championship winners included, Taylor Graham and BrandonThelen at Kearney, Brandon Thelen and Nick Vrbka at Fullerton, and TJ Burbach at the Millard South Freshman Invite.

Varsity junior wrestler Milan Knezovich said, "My favorite win was against Southeast when I won my match, which won it for the team."

Wrestling wasn't just about the members and how well they did. The coach played a big part in the outcome of the season and left a big impact on some of the wrestlers.

"Finley is an awesome coach. He's more involved than with just the sport. He cares about each of us," Knezovich said. "The whole team has been encouraging."

Holechek agreed: "Wrestling for Finley the past four years has been a blast and I'll never forget the things he taught me on the mat and off the mat."

As the team wrapped up the year, they recognized all of the dedication, effort and teamwork that was needed to be successful.

Freshman Sophia Nelson medaled in both of her events for state, which were the 200 individual medley and the l 00 breaststroke.

Nelson set a new school record in the 200 individual medley and l 00 Breaststroke placing fifth in both events with the times of 2: 13.82 and l :09.85.

"I love to swim. I have been swimming for seven years and I really enjoy it," Nelson said.

She noted that the hardest thing though about swimming was the 6 a. m. morning practices, but yet she enjoyed it because without the practice she wouldn't be where she ' s at in swimming.

Girls Swimming

Girls give it their all

J:= rom swimming in blow up pools to swimming in indoor pools, girls swimming did well overall at state.

"Girls had a great meet placing eighth place and scoring the second most points in school history!" said Coach Tanner Penrod.

The four girls that competed at state were freshmen Aimee Fischer, Sophia Nelson, Lauren Ayars, and junior Meghan Senne.

Junior Meghan Senne made top l 2 at state in the 500 free and made top 6 at state in their 400 free. The team also broke the school record in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:43.18.

Most swim team membe rs disliked the morning practices at 6 a.m.

"The practices can be really hard and having two practices a day can be really tiring," Senne said.

Staying focused on their goals throughout the season, and keeping themselves healthy and mentally strong could also be hard for some of the swimmers.

Not only was this team about just about practicing, but team bonding outside of swimming kept the girl swimmers close too.

"One team tradition that I think is really fun is when the girls team match the freshmen and sophomores girls up against the junior and senior girls . We call them swim sisters, which we make posters and snacks for , " Fischer said.

Some other bonding times they had were listening to music in the locker room, bringing healthy snacks to swim meets, making state shorts and long road trips. Times where the whole team came together were the team dinners.

Pulling pranks on the coach was also a fun tradition to the team, like saran wrapping his gym bag and water bottles, despite Penrod's response of "No Fun" to their antics.

"Jaylon, Jaylon, Jaylon."

Junior Jaylon Peters tried to fight it, but he Just couldn't help himself and before long he had 1. rejoined the dive team.

"I missed hanging out with the team because the swim team is one of the coolest, - team·s out there," Peters said.

But as much as he missed diving, nothing could have prepared him ~'"!!WO!-- for being the only male diver.

"It makes me feel scared and alone," Peters joked but "out-numbered," he decided, was a better way to describe it, with the three girls to one boy ratio on the dive team for the 201 l school year.

Peters has been on diving team since 2009 when he was a freshman and thinks his best and favorite dive would have to be a one and half flip.

So far he plans to dive again next year and hopes for more boys.

_

But his plans for his senior year is "an all male speedo car wash. Past swim boys and all." Peters joked.

Working to achieve excellence

It's hard to imagine life without seeing the sun, only seeing the moon and pure darkness in the early mornings and late evenings, but that is what dedication and commitment does to Southwests boys swimmers.

"Ifs weird thinking that we usually don't even see the sun during the day, at all," senior Max Taylor said

From the 6 a. m. practices to the practices after school until 6 p.m., these boys put in hours of effort daily to work their way toward a successful season.

Not only did the before and after school practices keep these boys on their toes, but the annual tradition of bleaching and shaving their heads kept their motivation in high gears.

Before conference, the entire boys team bleached their hair and then shaved it off before state, which they believed could boost their placing. This tradition originated from Chase Taylor, Max Taylor's older brother who went to Southeast, but was carried on by the other three Taylor brothers as a Southwest tradition. The bleaching was still done at the Taylor's house.

At conference, all three relays placed third while Murphy picked up his state cut in the l 00 fly and placed third as well. Burke also did well, finishing 6th in the 500 free style.

State qualifiers for boys swimming and diving consisted of seniors Matt Delisi and Kai Singh, junior Andrew Murphy, sophomore Dalton Meeske and freshmen Griffin Day and Noah Burke. Delisi, Singh, Meeske and Murphy have all been on the state team in past years.

"My favorite part of season was swimming at conference and the time after practice got over," Singh said.

State Prelims were on Feb. 25 and finals were held on Feb. 26.

A tradition for boys swimming was singing their favorite song by Benfold before meets to get them pumped up.

Bowling .a t a glance

Junior Celeste Labedz was one of the two bowlers along with fellow junior Cameron Price that made it to state for the Southwest bowlers

To qualify for state Labedz and Price had to qualify throughout the season. This meant how they performed at meets determined their acceptance into the state competition Labedz also made it to state last year for the girls team.

"The LSW bowling team had a great season this year! All of our bowlers had a stellar day at the district tournament in January in -Columbus," Labedz said State took place in February with both Price and Labedz finishing well. Labedz placed in the top l 5 for class A girls. •

Sports outside our poundaries

Intrrunurals, Bowling, Hockey and Trap

There's more than just the commonly recognized sports at Southwest. Many sports and activities stem much farther than just the court or football field . Some students play in sports that aren't as popular as football and basketball. Many don't realize that hockey, bowling and trap are also offered.

Bowling club was created for students who want to learn how to bowl and compete against other teams They met twice a week for practice at Sun Valley Lanes and participated in tournaments and matches almost every weekend during the winter sport season. The coaches were Lon Hollibaugh and Elmer Tuttle with assistant coaches Andy Wardyn and Karly Robeson

Most don't realize that Southwest had a non-school sponsored hockey team which was made up of 14 players, all from Southwest except for three. The team started practicing in October with practice twice a week while the official season began in late October with two games a week. These took place on Wednesday nights at the Ice Box in Lincoln and at the Mayland Ice Complex in Omaha on Sundays. The season went through mid March

"I've been playing hockey for 10 years and its a lot of fun being on the Southwest team. You can ' t be afraid to give it your all; 100 percent of the shots you don't take won't go in," said senior Tyler Peterson.

Three players from Southwest were chosen to play in the All-Star Game, which consisted of two teams formed from players selected from teams around the league.

Trap team is the club where students go out on a shooting range and try to shoot clay disk targets out of the sky. The club was created and sponsored by teacher Russ Raatz for students who want to improve their skills and just have fun doing their hobby. Trap started in late February and extended into May. Just like any other sport Trap had state and attended numerous competitions throughout their season.

All students were welcome to participate in intramurals in basketball. Students chose their own team members and team names which were usually pretty interesting. Basketball met on Saturday mornings in January. lntramurals were organized by athl e tic secretary Nicole Kubik.

Keeping you in the game

Trainers and Managers

Injur ie s are very common in the wo rld of sports and so is d iso rganization. So how do the sports team manage to stay o n the field and organized? Team managers and SWA T ( Southwest athletic training) rarely get recognition for a ll the things they do for Southwest athletes.

Managers are at every practice and game keeping stats a nd completing various other activities. Junior David Mu nro has been a varsity boys basektball team manager for three years now and his tasks included taking stats ,film ing, loading up gear and keeping track of the equipme nt.

"Sometimes it gets hard but I always have fun, I like be ing a p art something bigger than myself ," Munro said.

Munro decided to join the boys basketball team because it was a great way to meet new people his freshman year , and basketball was his favorite sport.

"The most memorable game was definitely the year we made it to the championship. The crowd was in sane a nd the boys played really hard. Even though we lost, it b ro ught us closer together," Munro explained

Th e boys basketball team was fortunate to have to tw o team managers. Senior Mark Yuen has been a manager for a ll four years he has attended Southwest.

Yuen's favorite season of basketball was when both girls and boys basketball teams made it to state.

" I knew we had two championship caliber teams," Yuen said.

Athletes would be nowhere without trainers Krystal Kjar, Rebecca Townsend and their student trainers. S.W.AT motto is "keeping you in the game." That is exactly what they do. Students who are interested in going into sports medicine or just want to be a part of a team join S.W.AT

Senior Taylor Dobbs plans on attending UNO next fall and will train for them as well.

"I decided to become a trainer because I used to go into the trainer when I played volleyball and I just fell in love with the environment," Dobbs said.

Dobbs can 't name just one most memorable game she's trained for.

"There has been so many exciting games that I can't pick just one," Dobbs said

Ones that stand out to Dobbs is senior Austin Tompkins kicking a winning field goal against Kearney, beating cross town rivals LSE in state football, or senior Dylan Heath's three point buzzer beater against Fremont High school in the HAC tournament.

ive The Study

Students Sill'Vive The Academic Pressure

At 8: 15 a.m. Southwest High School is offi_cially in session, and students try to stay awake for the long work ahead to provide their brains knowledge. An unscientific survey showed the following study hours a night: freshman 0- 1, sophomores 02, seniors 1-3, and juniors 1-2.

From late night studies to study groups at friends' homes, these students used a variety of ways to stay awake while studying;

"Music and caffeine," Ashley Baroud, junior said. "One tab on Facebook, one tab on homework," said Kiara Moody, sophomore. "The light," David Tufts, senior, said.

With all the stress on homework some students struggled in classes where they fell behin~. "Homework is a butt," Anissa Payne, senior, said.

Most students said math and foreign language was the worst part of their year academically. As for seniors, "It was applying to colleges and scholarships, " said senior Tasneem Bouzid.

Having block schedules provided some advantages but it made classes longer though most had less homework. To stay focused to survive the 90 minutes students did the following:

"Having bottled water," Reid Hunsaber, sophomore, said."Take a deep breath and listen to surroundings," sophomore Sophia Dranicki said. "I listen and arrange study sessions with my teacher," said Kiara Murphy, freshman.

"I try to remember this is my senior year and after this I'm done with high school," David Tufts said. "GUM," said sophomore Sara Jaber. "Fruit Loops and whatever Megan Barnett has to eat in her backpack," junior Vincent Villamonte said.

Others gave useful tips to survive classes:

"Do your work and don't be afraid to ask questions," said, Curtis Pester, sophomore. "Make friends with your teacher and make jokes," freshmen Truman Wachter and Darius Myles said. "Just chill man," Gum Atem, senior, said

Mathematics

Fractions & Percentages & Shapes, OH MY! •

Why is math so important? Well, people use math in their everyday lives even if you don't notice it. Most jobs require some sort of math skill.

"I use math at my job which is at Russ's Market when I am counting out the change," said senior Colleen Harris.

"I don't use the kind of math I'm learning right now everyday, but I do use math to cook and get ready in the morning," freshman Megan Hastings said.

Some types of math classes are Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Cal, AP Stats, Advanced Algebra, AP Cal, Problem Solving, Math Technology, Discrete Math and PreCollege Math.

Students need at least 20 math credits to graduate. They also need to pass Algebra. To be accepted into many four-year colleges, 40 hours of four levels of math is required.

Some things students say are the hardest about math is remembering all the steps in an equation and not second guessing yourself, remembering formulas for the test, and probability. Remembering formulas is the biggest one of them all

Math is one of those classes where many either like it or don't. For some people math comes easy to them and they don't have to study. Others find it hard and they are in need of help.

Teacher Christin Sutter said her favorite class to teach is Algebra. Sutter said she wanted to become a math teacher because "When I was in high school, my friends always came to me for math help. I wasn't the 'math geek' but I loved to help out. So, I decided that I wanted to become a lower level math teacher so I could help students understand math better." Overrall math is needed in our everyday lives.

The Life in Math £or Up:perclassm.en

For upperclassmen math classes AP Cal, Calculus, AP Stats and Pre-Cal are offered. Most upperclassmen say that their math classes are more difficult than their past math classes. There is more homework and the tests are more difficult than usual.

Most of the time students take upperclassmen classes to meet the graduation requirement and or for the challenge they bring.

A lot of colleges require students to have the higher level math classes to be accepted there.

In AP Cal students do warm ups to start out the day and learn new things everyday.

Senior Colby Talcott said, "Mr. DeVries's AP Cal class was challenging but also very interesting."

If you haven't taken any upperclassmen classes just be prepared for a challenge.

Cam.ping with Bittle

Charley Bittle's Environmental Studies class had the opportuni1y to go on a three day, two night trip. The class traveled to Indian Caves State Park, just south of Nebraska Ci1y.

The class carried huge backpacks and broke out their hiking boots. Students had to be prepared to cook their own meals, sleep outside in a sleeping bag without a tent and hike for miles.

"We had to eat all of the food in the pot, no matter what. Bittle called it big spooning," said senior Alex Webster.

They learned a lot about nature and the environment around them. There were many activities designed to build teamwork and communi1y. Many of the activities were similar to those of a traditional summer camp. Students bonded during all the activities.

Science

llands-on ·learrung helps students

xploring the outdoor classroom, camping trips, field trips and hands-on • experiments made science classes exciting.

The outdoor classroom was filled with many learning opportunities. Student could take nature walks, collect samples, observe and even put on fishing waders to walk around in the pond.

Physical Science and Forensics did a lot of hands on experiments. The students also had the opportunity to visit the outdoor classrooms to observe the nature and wildlife around them.

Geoscience, Anatomy and Human Biology required a lot of book work. Students used powerpoints and models to help them.

"My Forensics class this year for the first time performed autopsies on dill pickles to learn all the stages of a forensic autopsy," teacher Greg Cooper said.

Zoology and Animal Behavior classes spent a day at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. They got to walk around all day, but they had to do an assignment as well.

"The zoo was a lot more fun than sitting in class," said senior Emily Frandsen.

Teacher Kevin Schrad took his class to the Humane Society as well.

"I have had several students who adopted pets after we visited the Humane Society. They went back with their parents that night and adopted an animal," Schrad said.

Physics and Chemistry classes did a lot of labs during their class. Students worked in groups and were able to learn things up close.

Biology classes focused on living things. Each student in the class had to acquire an animal to take care of during the term. It was called the "Alive and Satisfied" project.

Social Studies

A blast froin the past

Social Studies by definition is the "integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence." Learning about the past helps make the future, which is why its important to listen and absorb the knowledge given by our teachers.

From the Renaissance to World War II, and laws to the supreme court justice system. History and government was taught by teachers in classes such as World History, Civics, Geography, US History, Criminal Justice, Government and Politics and History of the Holocaust.

The social studies classes offered can be both informational and interesting.

"The thing I like most about my class is the teacher. I wouldn't change anything. Ifs so much fun," said sophomore Jayden Denning who had World History with Chris Salem.

Many students who took social studies classes knew that the teachers were what made the classes. Without their expertise and help the students wouldn't know as much as they do about history and how the government works.

Junior Kelsey lmoff said, "My teacher always kept things entertaining. He was really funny. Everyone was always cracking jokes with h im." lmoff took U.S. History with Jim Danson . "I enjoyed every minute of the class."

Sophomore Courtney Donald said,"The teacher makes World History fun and easy to learn. I wouldn't change a thing. One funny thing occurred when the teacher was taking attendance and said Courtney Donald and a student yelled TRUMP."

Keeping the students interested in the class, while making sure the curriculum was being taught could have been a challenge, but for the teachers it was just another simple task.

"Teachers need to be able to translate the curriculum appropriately so that the students can comprehend it entirely," teacher Ryan Salem said. Salem taught Government and Politics AP and regular and also teaches World History.

Throughout history students have been taught about the past. Students were able to move forward by understanding and making these connections.

Amendments to K2? What?I It's just Government and Pohticsl

Ryan Salem's GoPo classes were interesting to say the least. Topics ranged from legalizing marijuana to daily news.

Students described the class as flexible and laid back. The curriculum requires 20 hours of community service, which is a graduation requirement

It is required because the district wants students to get involved with the community. Surprisingly most students end up making connections and go back.

"Having students complete 20 hours of community service is the hardest part of the class. Its a great experience but everyone is so busy, its hard for them to make time," Salem said.

Another hot topic is talking about the Amendments

"Any discussions of the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) is my favorite discussion," said Salem, "The students get interested and come up with great case scenarios that get you thinking."

Controversial topics and great times sum up GoPo with Salem. to

Stu.dym.' in Literature

0£ the Holocaustl

During the school year, Holocaust Lit. teacher Mark Gudgel took students on a trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. which also included a stop in New York City. They went in November and again in April.

Taking a trip to the museum is a twice yearly thing for Gudgel. "The trip was brilliant," he said.

Students enjoy the trip because it is both entertaining and educational. "We went to Washington, D.C. to view the Holocaust Museum. It was really fun!" said senior Andrew Hill.

The class varies in the different assignments and projects that they do. "Holocaust Lit. changes quite a bit from term to term," Gudgel said. Assignments range from reading survivor testimonies, discussions of the Holocaust and our world today and examining other genocides in today's world.

English

Petter COininunication, better understanding

veryone gets corrected almost everyday on something they say that is not "correct" grammar. English is used with everything you do, reading books, homework, notes and even text messages (which probably isn't proper English).

"English helps you do just a little bit better. To communicate well and understand others is key, in every job, in every part of life," said teacher Melanie Gross. Southwest offers a lot of different classes that students take as English credit.

As a freshman you only take one kind of English class, English 9. Freshmen studied vocabulary and different stories of Shakespeare, like "Romeo and Julief' to understand how it was written. They also read a few personal reading books along the way.

"My favorite part of English was when.we got to choose what we wanted to read," said freshman Katelyn Frank.

Sophomores took English l 0. In this class students dive deep into poetry and continue to learn more about Shakespeare. While doing poetry, classes do a poetry slam. Each student chooses a poem that he/she has written and the class votes on which are the best ones, and then the winners from each class compete against each other in a slam.

Juniors and seniors have more opportunities for quite a few different English classes. They can take classes such as Holocaust Literature, Literature and Composition, Sports Literature and more.

Before students graduate they must also take a communications class, Oral Communication. Students learn how to write and present speeches properly. Most usually take this class as a freshman.

W or1d Languages

Students travel the ·world in the classrooin

J-1.ola! Bonjour! Hallo! Konnichiwa! Salve!

These are just a few samples of the languages offered at Southwest. Spanish years 1-5, French years 1-4, German years 1-4, Japanese and Latin years l -2 are all available for students to sign up for and broaden their diversity of language.

Students have the opportunity to take more than one language during their four high school years but most stick to one language.

"I decided to take Spanish because I think it will be the most useful in my future," said junior Andrea Sheets. Each year upper level Spanish students get the option to visit Spain, do some sight seeing and even experience a home stay with a family located in Spain. This trip is a great chance for students to further their knowledge of Spanish.

"I love taking Japanese because it's extremely interesting and unique," said junior Landon Sadler. Students taking Japanese learn an all new alphabet for the language.

German is another class available for students to take.

"German is a lot easier than people think," said Junior Erik Thompson. "German uses a lot of the same grammar rules as English."

Latin is available when enough students sign up for the class. Teachers encourage students to take Latin because it is a big part of our history. The English language was based off Latin and often contains Latin bases.

When deciding which language to study, students should consider many things. Which one seems the most interesting and fun?

Which language will you use in the future? It can be a difficult decision but no matter which language you choose, expect to learn many new cultural aspects.

Every year in Japanese classes students have the chance to write to a student that is enrolled in a school in Japan. Students exchange decorated cards and sometimes even cultural treats such as candies, pencils, stickers and stamps.

"It was a lot of fun to be able to . actually talk to students in Japan," said junior Tayler Mack. "We exchanged some cool cards and candy."

Allowing students to be in contact with students from other countries enhanced the level of understanding of the particular culture. Japanese students wrote to students in Japan and Spanish students were offered a trip to Spain.

Language classes captured the interest of almost anyone because of the many opportunities available.

Down in the art crevice of the building, there are students who enjoy photography and developing their art.

"I enjoy photography as it is a fun medium and artistic expression ," junior Biz Dalke said.

Senior Sabra Bausert helps explain the development of a photo:

"First you place the picture in a developer with agitation and leave it in for two minutes. Next you place the photo in a tub called the stop bath and leave it in for two minutes. After the stop bath, place the photo in a tub with fixer and leave it in for two minutes. Then place your picture in a tub of spinning water to rinse off the chemicals that helped develop you photo. Finally hang up your creation to dry and you have a developed and finished picture."

Arts/Fine Arts

Fmcnng crea:tivity through the senses

J::: ine arts serves as intellectual stimulation to the viewer or academic sensibilities .. One aspect of fine arts consists of photography, drawing, painting, jewelry and pottery.

The art wing of the building is like a whole separate world. Students create colorful work along with three dimensional works of art.

"I love the feeling of creating something out of nothing," senior Katy Chapman said of Drawing Applications.

A lot students explained that their artistic abilities mostly started with drawing.

"I started drawing when I was a little girl and I would draw anything that _ would come to my mind. I was really bad but I didn't care and I stuck with it and became good with time," sophomore Sara Chaloupka said of drawing.

On the three dimensional side of the artistic view, students love being able to work hands-on and form their creations with their hands.

On the opposite side of the building other fine arts go on in the E-Wing. The choirs consisted of Freshman Choir with 70 Students, Concert Choir with 86 students, Varsity Concert Choir with 80 Students and Chamber Select Choir with 40. Show choir groups Ambience and Resonance both consisted of 47 students.

Show choir members danced and sang and performed a total of five songs. One of the traditions of Southwest is the show choir always has an ending tap, making the show go out , with a bang. The show choirs travel to at least five competitions each year and also host their own competition called "Showdown."

There are many different types of art consisting from hands on art along with making the beautiful sound of music come from within. They may be in their own world but it's what they strived for.

Keeping students interestOO

Jnfants and Toddlers, Pre-school and School age kids, Independent Living, Teen Issues, Families in Crisis, Life Skills, Psychology, Relationships and Sociology are some of the human behavior classes.

You have to be at least a sophomore to take most of these classes because of the personal and hard issues that are dealt with in these types of classes.

Jolene Schlemmer's Infants and Toddlers class is a special class because students get to take fieid trips a couple days a week.

"Going to the day cares is such a rewarding experience. You get a break from school and get to play with the kids," junior Shelbi Schwartz said.

This class goes to a day care twice a week to learn how to care for children and learn what it would be like to work in a day care atmosphere.

Senior Destiny Davis enjoys this class because it will be useful in her life. "I like being in class where I know that the information I'm learning will someday be useful."

In Nicki Hanseling's Independent Living class students did car comparisons of how well tires work and when a person should change their tires.

In Leslie Mann's Relationship class students were taught about the different kinds of relationships and what a healthy and nonhealthy relationship looks like. This is important because during high school many people begin dating and could use the information learned in her class.

Human Behavior classes were popular and fun to take because students learned material that pertained to situations students were going through.

Creating your own experiments

In Ryan Mahoney's AP Psychology class, students' favorite project was conducting their own experiments and testing out their hypothesis.

"I like this project best because you get to go out of the classroom and see if your research actually worked," junior Dakota Sonderup said.

An example of this project would be giving a group of people mint gum and another group no gum, then give them the exact same division test and seeing if the group with mint gum tested higher than the group without.

If the people chewing mint gum scored higher than the group with no gum you could conclude that chewing mint gum while taking a test might enhance test scores.

"Students typically enjoy this project because it gives them a chance to get out of the classroom and learn on their own," Mahoney said.

Diving into Water Games

Being in the pool, playing games and having fun with your friends. Sounds like the perfect class, right? Sophomores, juniors and seniors can enjoy Water Games taught by Andrew Sherman and Lis Brenden.

In this class students play water polo, basketball, volleyball and ultimate frisbee. These are just normal sports with a twist, the twist being that you are in water. If students aren't playing these games, they're having free time in the water.

"The best part about Water Games is that we get to swim and do things in the water, and I love swimming," said sophomore Graydon Loth.

Some of the perks for taking water games are that you don't have homework, you get to swim and being in the water refreshes you.

P.E.IFCS

A different kind of classroolll

Being active is good for everyone. That's why the school offers so many different physical education classes.

•

There was everything from classes that played sports to classes that danced to classes that built muscle. Team Sports, Lifetime Sports and Fitness for Life kept you active by giving you a broad range of different sports to play.

Aerobic Cross Training, Modern Jazz and Ballroom were great to take if you didn't like sports because these classes still kept you active with dance and movement.

Advanced and Beginning Weight Training classes were available to build muscle; you could also take these classes as a zero hour. The pool allows classes like Water Games, Lifeguard Training and Swimming.

The physical education requirement was 7.5 credits Along with gym classes another requirement was Health. The credit requirement for Health is only 2. 5 credits, but the class gave students five credits.

Family Consumer Science offered essential classes to help you throughout life. These classes taught you skills like cooking and sewing.

Students took these classes because it will make a person "a life long learner and it teaches you the basic of basic needs," said FCS department chair Tracy Way.

To learn how to cook students could take Culinary Skills, Cultural Foods and Foods and Wellness. For design classes, Creative Clothing and Interior Design were offered. Intro to FCS taught the basics of everything. FCS met the Ap p lied Art requirement.

Th e se classes were a break from regular core class e s because students could interact and le arn hands-on.

"I like Culinary Skills because its fun to make food in a class and then eat it," said sophomore Niki Hevelone. Story and spread by Ashley Kent/Ta/on

Resources

What you need to move on with your life

veryone needs a little help or advice every now and then, either from the counseling center, media center or even having a teammate.

"The counseling center provides information to all kids in ways they need to know," counselor Tim Ernst said. 'We help a lot with college plans. The graduation rate and college rate are at about 92-93 percent."

The counseling center was so much more than helping with personal problems.

Counselor Peggy Volker said, 'We help students stay on track with their attendance and academic s. We prepare them for what they want to do and start off with good records."

Along with helping with academics, the media center was helpful as well.

"Students sometimes forget to print their papers at home, so they come to the media center to print them. Sometimes they just need a little help," media specialist Laurie Logsdon said "Sometimes they just have little questions about the wording of a paper or even how to work I Movie for projects "

Some students have teammates who they meet with just so they have someone to talk to about their lives.

The media center also was a place where students go to just read. This year our media center had over 4,000 books.

Media specialist Alyx Knight said, "Something new this year is that Mr. Mark Gudgel proposed to have a room where Holocaust students could go to do research. He came up with the 'Darfur Research Center.' It opened on Dec. 16, 201 O."

But Southwest added new things other than the research center.

"I believe other teachers are focusing more on exposing students to more non fiction things, like biographies," Logsdon said. "Another big improvement is receiving 36 new computers provided by Student Council."

Southwest tried to create new things every year to help improve study habits and graduation rates. For questions that need answers and problems that need solving, the places to go were the counseling center and the media center.

IEP, RBD, RCR & More

When you hear of students having a disability, many think of students with moderate and severe disabilities, although they only make up a small part of the Special Education program.

Southwest has 220 students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). This includes students with anxiety to ADHD and more.

Teacher Lynn Strack said, "In th~ Resource by Definition room we have no roster or assigned students. Students come to our room when they need a test read aloud, need extended time on projects or just need a quiet place to work."

Teacher Amy Jewell said, "Students in the Function Curriculum Room stay all day. Our students have Lunch Bunch and Friendship Club so they can talk to as many students as possible. Two to three times a week we go into the community and shop so they know what to do in certain situations."

All students in the special education program are prepared to be as successful as they can be, just like every other student.

Table Making

Intro to Construction and Woodworking class made l 6x22 tables for their project this year.

"To make the tables you start by cutting legs, holes for supports, and boards. You then cut the tenons and make two sets of legs. Later you glue and screw everything together. Next you glue the top to the legs. Lastly you space and glue the magazine slots together," said junior Joey Anderberry on the process of c reating the tables

"You put the wood through a CNC machine that is hooked up to a computer. It then cuts the design for you," teacher Kevin Hennecke said.

In order to keep the table, the students paid $35. Most students proudly kept them, while others left them for examples and to be sold for others.

Business/ Industrial Arts

Designing a plan for your future

Building. Planning. Constructing. Interviewing. All ways to help shape your future. Industrial Arts classes were important whether or not you will have a career in that field. Business classes were the same way.

Economics classes taught common knowledge needed for being on your own in the future. Sports Marketing was of high interest for athletes and others who enjoyed learning about athletic news and sports related topics. Business Marketing was popular for those interested in owning or managing their own business.

Computer applications taught how to use computers and programs on them like Microsoft Word. Lessons for better typing skills was also included in the class.

"We are working on a new unit in Computer Apps called Access Database. You set up a database and input the class data. Students like this activity because of all the moving around they get to do/ said teacher Mary Schropfer.

Career Education was designated to help students plan for their future. It included activities like mock interviews, speakers and job shadowing.

"We spend a large portion of the term preparing for the mock interviews. Classes get really nervous but always end up doing well," teacher Shelly Tvrdy explains. Students receive tips as well as prepare resumes and cover letters for the interviewers and afterwards, write them thank you letters.

Industrial arts classes included several areas. Cad Tech worked with designs on computers. Welding included basic skills and techniques. Theatre Tech, Cad Engineering, Intro to Construction/Woodworking, Foundations of ITE, and Landscape Design were also available.

Freshman year ca n be a very difficult time You are just beginning at a new school, where almost all aspects are new. It ca n be hard to get used to a t first, but everyone gets th e hang of it eventually. This is a start to some of the be st four years of your life. The fir st year will fly by.

Bailey Rangel en c o rages incoming freshme n to "always do your best if no t it really does count agai n s~ you. Nobody wants to re p ~ at classes again as a soph omore."

Getting good gr a s is one of the most impo rt a, t parts of freshman year b e cause this is the first ye ar start making an impress io for colleges.

Justin Reynold's b E ·t advice for the new stud e r, ~s is to "get involved in sp o rt • and other activities. " G e tting involved is the best Vv 1y to meet new people o f a grades

"Have fun. Its no t ( s bad as it seems," Keeg ar , Rezac said. Freshman y e r is made-out to be one o f the hardest years, but w h you make it enjoyable , if < simple.

What's your limit?

Growing up comes with responsibility. As sophomores you are finally getting a taste of high school. One issue that many teens complain about is curfews.

Many sophomores said it was good to have curfews because creepy people come out at night and curfews keep people safe. On the other hand some students think curfews are lame

Some students even said part of the reason they have no curfew is because they don't go out late. They don't want to pay the consequences of being tired the next day. Every punishment varies with parents.

Jeremy Nielson said, "I

get my phone taken away or I get grounded for a month if I come home past l O p.m."

Dane Kaiser said, " I get my car take away if I'm home past midnight "

Curfews come with responsibilities, consequences and extenuating issues like trustworthiness and even law-abiding issues. (People think if you're out late you will vandalize or even party.) Each sophomore has the choice to MAKE OR BREAK THE CURFEW.

Did you ever get caught dancing in the hallways? Have you ever YouTube'd the latest dance moves? Do you teach your friends how to do a ridiculous dance? Sophomores kept up with the latest dance craves. The most common among the class is the Stanky Leg, while the worst dance "Crank Dot Soulja Boy" was invented. ()

:)UNIORS I A "How-To" Book

A "how-to" is an informal, often short, description of how to accomplish some specific task. A how-to is usually meant to help non-experts, and the technique has a long history as a way of sharing knowledge. Some of your fellow students share their how-to or survival guides to school and above all things, life. H a y I e y H

"If I could write a 'how to book' I would fill it on how to love all people. Some of my advice would be to never get caught up in temporary things, and not get mad at friends for pointless things."

"I would fill my 'how to book' wit h how to live and not just exist, a guide on how to not regret anything that made you happy, o ne how to not worry and dwell abo the stupid things in life."

"If I could write my own guide book I w o Jld teach everyone in the world how to get J nuke on 'Call of Duty.' I also would give 1 'W best advice in life: Dream as if you'll liv forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow. Al sc never order the blueberry pancakes at 11lage Inn even if Christa recommends it still love you, Christa! (wink wink)"

Cell Phone Excusesl

You're in class, you need to text someone, you take out your phone and you get caught. Many of us have been through this experience, and most have used our phones in class at least once. Some are just better at hiding it than others.

But don't forget the infamous adrenaline rush you get when you hear your teacher ask for your phone. It can m9ke your heart pound and it isn't a pleasant experience. What is the greatest excuse you have used or heard?!

Best excuse!

"I brought up the first amendment as a joke, and they let me keep it."

-Joe Anderbery

Worst thing that has happened to you

"I had to write a paper about a Chihuahua!"

-Hailey

Batterton

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?

"It was a sub and he didn't know what to do with it so he let me keep it."

-Shay

Doyle

What is the funniest thing you've seen happen to someone else?

'\People making pathetic excuses, they would rather go to the office than give up their phone."

-Joroko Berringer

How do you text in class?

"I just text on top of the table most of the time. The teachers are really laid back if you don't abuse it Otherw

I text by my pocket or under the table."

-Dolton Kopke

Prom. Prom. Prom.

Juniors always look forward to what, for most, is their first year of attending prom. Besides dressing up in formal wear, finding the right dress, and surviving the night of prom, one of the highlights of prom is being asked to the dance. The following people explained the most creative experiences that have happened to them or they wish would happen to them regarding prom.

" Since I am an MC at pep rallys, I would discretely give the girl flowers leading up to the rally, then ask her to come down, get down on one knee holding more flowers and ask her to prom on the spot."

"I think the most creative way a guy could ask would be by making me a tape saying 'YOUR DATE should you choose to accept it, will be with NAME at TIME on DAY. You will be picked up by a person wearing (DESCRIBE). Your date will self-destruct if you do not reply by DATE." From Mission Impossible.

"First off, I'm the dude and I 'I do the asking. So I would wri t e out 'Prom' on all of the flowe r pedals and give the flower t o the chick."

Seniors have had to put up with bad hallway traffic for fo r years. They had their own methods in making their way throug h the crowds. Four seniors were surveyed on how they survived t e hallways.

How do you get people out of your way in the hallways?

-"They aide-step out of my business."

Most annoying thing ·about the hallways to you?

-"People standing in clumps and they know they're blocking the way!"

¥-.~ M~GNusoN

Are you guilty of standing in the middle of the hallways?

-"Yeah. I don't realize I'm doing it al though I don't do 1t often."

---------

Have your hallway habits changed since freshman ye )r?

- "I take longer a tridea, being a foot taller."

TRROUGHOUT ALL 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL

NO ONE KNEW THAT...

NO ONE: KNEW THAT: "I collect bells. Its not something that I like to brag about I started when I was 6 and everywhere I go I get one. I have around 80 bells "

Secret-noun. [see-krit] something that is ke t hidden, or concealed; a mystery. Being in high school it is tough to keep a see r t from people, whether it is something about y o ur lifestyle or something that happened last we _ kend, things travel fast. If you survived Southwe st without people knowing every little quirk abo ut you, then you are considered lucky ... Here a e some of them.

NO ONE: KNEW THAT: "I hate loose hair, when if s hangin off of someone's clothes or just anywhere, I can't stand it."

FRIEND CHECK

Think back to your first day of high school, past what you wearing or what was in your backpack, but t o who was there by your side? Are you still friends with those people? The average friendship has no time fram e but these are not average friendships.

Your high school years are anything but average. The people you go to school with see the awkward years for some and watch and witness first hand as you find yourself and grow as a person, but for some frie 1d this could mean growing apart.

For Haley Christensen, the answer was kind of in between. "Yes, I still talk to my best friend from when 1e were freshmen (Sara Johnson) tons, but no we're not still best friends." Christensen said. Omar Attie also ogr e .J d that he doesn't talk to his ex "bestie" as much." We're not as close, but we still talk."

There are many reasons for these friendships to end such as "We just sorta grew apart some and start ; d liking different things and hanging out with different people," said Christensen. Atley Gustafson said, "[Things ] •us didn't work out" about her friends from freshmen year but is happy with her new "drama free" friend group.

But not all friendships end. "I've been friends with the same kids since kindergarten (Max Taylor, Andre v,, Francis, Alex Webster and Miles Mulgrue). Some of our parents were friends and it's just a never ending circl " joked Hamilton Hasty. Also Tori Tramp said she has also has "become closer since entering high school" wit h e life long friends.

We go into elementary school, middle school and then finally high school, all to get a diploma to go to college.

Some students can't wait for that day to come to be out of here, yet others dread the day.

All because of what is known as THE GRAD WALK. The graduation walk is your final steps to being in high school.

Get -your journ o~ Hawk Talk and Talon

From receiving a monthly paper to a yearly book, these are the events some remember most. The reveal of the school yearbook, the Ta Ion, has always been one of the most anticipated events of the year and nothing gets students more amped than a delivery of the Hawk Talk.

Talon staff started out small but by the time it was third and fourth term, the class was full.

"It was really nice to see how many people were interested in what Kaitlin and I were doing and wanted to be a part of our book. Having a full class really made our work load lighter and it helped take away some stress," said Talon coeditor senior Aubrey Woolman.

But when it came to the Hawk Talk it was a different story. Senior Atley Gustafson said, "Having a small class of about l 0 makes it easier to connect one on one with them, but when it comes down to it, everyone has to step up more by taking four to five stories per paper."

Woolman agreed that when it came to publication classes "Its a very open environment' and when you have to work side by side with spreads or stories you're bound to grow closer. Third term also marked a no boys on Hawk Talk or Ta Ion for the first time in a long time.

"We're a pretty intimidating group at first' said senior Kaleah Letcher when asked about the number of people who left yearbook book first term and the lack of boys.

Being on Hawk Talk or the Talon staff was a time commitment, with much time spent taking pictures at sporting events, gathering information and trying to stay caught up to work hard to meet deadlines.

Deadlines were a big part of the Hawk Talk. With a paper every month or so, every minute mattered. But for those who thought yearbook had all time in the world to finish the Talon, you were wrong. The deadlines were just as important, if not more important in order to get all l 000 plus books sold, printed and delivered on time.

Hawk Talk goes viral

Hawk Talk online is nothing new; it was introduced for the fall of the 2009-2010 school year. LPS high schools were set up to have an online issue and the Hawk Talk made it a priority of theirs to try to get something up weekly beginning in February. From drama club selling flowers, to winter sports at state to blood drives, students posted pictures and a story:

They hoped to gain a lot of followers both inside school and outside of the community. This web site gave parents, friends of the school and of course alumni an inside look of whats going on within the walls of Southwest.

The Hawk Talk set goals to update it weekly but between layouts and just the normal paper issue, it was a challenge.

"Some weeks are over flowing with events to write about as well as taking pictures, but then the next week can be completely empty. Then the hard part is deciding whats online worthy or paper worthy," senior Ellie Clinch, coeditor said.

But the online issue also serves as over flow from the paper since not everything can fit within the 16 pages. The online paper has many never seen before material, sports updates and planned to post videos as well.

Helping around the co1n1nunity

Student Counctl and NHS

Leadership and seNing the school and community defined Student Council and National Honor Society. soth were select groups that required students to meet certain criteria and complete an application process with an inteNiew. Students in grades 9 through l 2 could be on Student Council, whereas as NHS membership was available only to second semester juniors and seniors.

Student Council helped organize school events, volunteered in the community and did fundraising for several major school activities such as Winter Formal, Prom, Dance-off and Flight Night. They met every morning Monday through Thursday during zero hour and earned class credit. Student Council's main goals were to help improve our school and community while improving their leadership at the same time.

Student Council underwent several changes . For example, they went from a big group of students to six students at third term.

"At meetings we discuss events, community seNice and other things that the school brings to our attention, " president Hillary Stoll said

"My favorite thing about Student Council is volunteering in the community, " secretary Courtney Leikam said .

NHS required having a 3. 75 GPA. Also applicants must meet the pillars of Scholarship, SeNice, Leadership and Character Activities included recognizing staff for their contributions, seNing as tutors for students in need of academic help and bell ringing for the Salvation Army. A "movie on the wall" event was held where a movie was projected on the side of the school. They also wrote holiday letters to deployed troops. Officers were co-presidents Nealesh Padhye and Charles Chen (Chuck), vice president Jake Heidelk, secretary Veronica Vanderbeek, treasurer Abigail Flory and historians Sarah O'Neill and Madeline Bien.

"One of the main things that our chapter has decided to focus on is the Memorial Garden . We've worked to maintain the area and also have been raising funds in order to hopefully purchase and install a fountain before we graduate," Chen said.

"As secretary I keep track of each members volunteering hours and I help plan and make agendas for each meeting. This year a big focus for NHS is getting a fountain for the memorial garden," Vanderbeek added.

Gettmg down to business FBLA, DECA, FCCLA and FCA

rom selling cupcakes, to competing in national events, these clubs all donated their time to help better our •school, and help each other build the skills they need to succeed.

DECA: This marketing club focused on community seNice throughout the Southwest community. They attended competitions in the district, state and national levels. DECA raised funds for MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) and competed in various categories.

"The experience at state and nationals, and the events we host such as faculty basketball games would have to be my favorite parts of being in DECA," said Bailey Burkett, co-president.

In districts, DECA had five district champs, two runnerUps, and one third place winner out of 14 events.

FCA: This was a club where students were involved in Bible studies, connecting sports to Christianity, volunteering in the community and just hanging out. FCA planned Bowling night, Weekend of Champions, Christian music concerts and Toys for Tots.

FCA Breakfast Club was a branch of FCA that met before school on Thursday mornings. It was a club where students could hang out with friends and hear encouraging speeches.

FCCLA: This seNice-learning type of club volunteered, participated in activities and traveled. FCC LA attended a Fall Cluster meeting travelling to New Mexico. They also had their spring state meeting in Lincoln.

"Going to district meetings was really fun," said sophomore Taylor Heller, a member of FCCLA.

All of these clubs have worked towards a common goal. They are always trying to improve and that's what make's them great.

Hany clubs worked to benefit the community, whether they helped students, the whole school, or even other countries. Among these clubs were Ambassadors, Principal Advisory Council, Service Learning Club and STAND.

Ambassadors: They met every Wednesday at 7: l 5 a. m. to learn about new and effective ways of helping other students easily transition into Southwest. Their main events included Freshman Day, Future Hawk Night and middle school visits. New this year was S.H.O.S., which met once a week during PLC first term.

"It was a freshmen mentoring sort of program where we met in small groups and went through a series of topics regarding transitions into high school," said junior Sarni Nelson.

Principal Advisory Council: This group met with Principal Rob Slauson on the first Tuesday of every month. They talked about many issues in our school and tried to find out new ways to improve Southwest.

'We were open to any suggestions and we always tried to discuss new problems," said member Erin Dike.

STAND: Students Ta king Action Now Darfur worked to raise awareness and encouraged students, as well as people around the nation to become involved in stopping the genocide happening in Darfur, Sudan.

They looked for opportunities to help out, research, volunteer and even opened the Darfur Research Center in the Media Center for students to go and learn about Darfur and Sudan.

"We would love for more people to join. Anyone is welcome!" said club chair Hayley Hamm.

I.earning to serve

Service Learning Club: The club met every Tuesday and devoted themselves to the development of student leadership and community service. Their events included helping to initiate the Darfur Research Center in the media center, tutoring at Cavett Elementary and volunteering at the YWCA. They also helped with the memorial garden at Southwest by planning different events to raise money. Their main goal was to plan an all-student volunteer day at LSW, but they had not yet met this goal.

"Since seniors feel a strong connection to the memorial garden, it is our main focus for this year's chapter," said co-president Veronica Vanderbeek. They hoped to raise enough mon e y to buy and install a fountain in the garden. Each member was required to plan at least one service project during the school year and earn 30 points by volunteering with the group.

Speaking OUt Speech, Debate and Drruna Club

Whether competing for a trophy to win state or traveling to attend festivals abroad, Drama Club , Speech and Debate all had one defining factor-a passion to perform. Forensics set high goals to qualify members at Nationals, while Drama Club planned trips to far away places, such as New York City and London.

Speech: Led by teacher Matt Heimes, speech was open to everyone and anyone willing to commit their time and effort to make students confident public speakers. Members competed in local and nation-wide competitions in areas consisting of Impromptu, Humorous, Informative and more.

Senior Grant Thomas said, "The group has definitely grown in size since my freshman year when I started. Now it's about 45 kids." Thomas added that "As a whole, we won three or four tournaments and made finals at three nationals, including numerous individual champions."

They practiced every Monday. Officers included Thomas, Lucy Kneifl, Will Folsom, DeWayne Taylor and Andrew Francis.

Debate: Categories in debate included Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum and Congress. Coach of the team, Toni Heimes, strived to take individuals from the team to state and win.

Debate attended tournaments throughout the season, where groups and singles competed to win, based on evidence and arguments presented. Tournaments won included Fremont, Norfolk, Millard South, Lincoln High, Omaha Westside and second at Millard North. State was held in March and Nationals will proceed into June.

Much like speech, debate also put in many arduous hours at competitions. On days off, they enjoyed teom dinners and exchanging valentines and secret Santa gifts around the holidays.

Drama: While Drama Club members performed in plays throughout the year, time was spent more towards, "supporting the LSW Theatre Program and having fun!" said sponsor Bob Henrichs.

Drama seNed as the communication wing of the program and the club was open to all students interested in performing arts. They attended shows throughout the district, at the Lied Center and the Orpheum. The group has attended the State Theatre Festival and the International Thespian Festival annually and has traveled to New York City and London in past years.

Officers included president Austin Blankenau, vice president Danielle Parde, secretary Stephanie Kahler and scribe Logan Lemka.

Spreading cultural awareness

Asian, Multi-Cultural Classics and Japanese clubs

J= our different clubs have one common goalto spread awareness about the many other cultures out there. Asian Caucus, Multi-Cultural Caucus, Classics Club and Japanese Club all worked towards this goal.

Asian Caucus: Asian Caucus was started to spread and promote Asian cultures throughout the community. Asian Caucus discussed Asian cultures and planned events to raise awareness of Asian culture This year they visited elementary schools.

"While our efforts to spread our culture are strong, we make every effort to become more than just a club," senior Brian Vuu said.

Classics Club: Classics Club was created to promote the study of Roman and Greek culture. Members participated in fun activities such as drinking tea, having chariot races and learning the Greek alphabet.

"My favorite part about Classics Club is the people who come, ready to have fun and learn about cultures thatinfluenced ours greatly," senior Ellen Wilkinson said.

Japanese Club: Japanese Club worked to spread Japanese culture in the community. They participated in cultural activities and had Japanese food days. Officers included Catherine Zhang, Jacob Denniston , Leon Zhang, Ha Yoon Lee and Suzanne Carnazzo

"I joined because I enjoy Japanese culture and learning the history of the country," Jacob Denniston said.

Japanese Club also worked with a sister school in Japan called Senshu-Matsudo. Students sent gifts and letters to pen pals.

These clubs provided a place for every student to belong. Overall , each of these groups achieved their common goal by spreading awareness about these · different cultures.

Working for a cause

Multi -Cultural Caucus promoted cultural respect and understanding throughout Southwest and the rest of the community. They maintain the idea that we are all equal. Members shared that this club was a place where they felt they truly belonged.

Multi-Cultural Caucus was involved with the Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast and Multi-Cultural Night. Their main goals were to establish multicultural awareness and promote peace.

Multi-Cultural Caucus worked towards making Southwest a better place by introducing the "No Place for Hate" action. They introduced it to students at the third term meetings.

"We call it an action because we want it to be ongoing and we don't just want students to forget about it," president Summer Sadat said.

The goal of this action was to get rid of hate and promote respect and equality between everyone Students were given the chance to sign the pledge at the end of the class meetings. If more than half the student body signed a "No Place for Hate" pledge , then Southwest would be eligible to be a "No Place for Hate" site.

One move at a time

Varsity Cheer, Emeralds and £nvy

J:= rom football, basketball and volleyball games to wrestling matches and pep-rallies, the Emeralds, varsity cheerleaders, and Envy were always there to show their support and to raise school spirit.

Varsity Cheer: Each morning at 7 a.m., the cheer team would be up and practicing to perfect old cheers and create their own.

"My favorite part of being on varsity was the free Friday morning breakfasts," said junior Makenzie Brookhouser.

They were at every home varsity football, volleyball, boys and girls basketball games, and wrestling matches to cheer on the players and get the student section roaring.

Emeralds: The dance team practiced after school to plan new steps and moves. Almost every other week they had to choreograph something new and work to make the perfect performance.

This year the Emeralds experienced something new and started making traditions of their own.

"This is the smallest team I've been a part of. With only 1 1 girls, we all got to know each other very well and it made the year very enjoyable," Morgan Lambley said.

This year's switch rally shocked the whole student body. Everyone had been told that the Emerald's weren't going to participate, but during their dance they had teachers come out and show their school spirit with a wicked dance.

'We had top secret practices before and after school with the teachers to get them ready for the show!" senior Abby Flory said.

Envy: In the winter and fall, the step team stepped up their performance and got to step at some of the home basketball games.

REBalfany sisters

The Emeralds experienced something different. They had two sisters on the team at the same time, Mikaela Balfany and McKenzie Balfany.

Mikaela was a senior and her younger sister was a sophomore.

"It was a lot of fun being on the same team, although it is nothing new for us because we do studio dance together," Mikaela commented.

The sisters are pretty close so going to the games and practices was a blast for them. They said the didn't have any major drama because they're so close, noting they're more like best friends than sisters.

When you have a sister on the same team as you, you will always have a friend no matter what. They also always had someone to remind them what to wear and when to send out reminder texts to the team.

Loud and proud JV, Reserve and Fresban cheer

.1-1- ere we go Hawks! The cheerleaders made up the backbone of the Silver Hawk school spirit In addition to varsity were junior varsity, reseNe and freshman. All squads shared the same passion for cheer and pumping up school spirit.

Each squad had its own distinct style of porn porns, uniforms and shells. During summer break they devoted an hour every morning at 7 to perfect their cheers and routines.

All four cheer squads attended a cheer camp over the summer where they spent three days performing their routines against cheerleading squads from other schools.

This year the teams were able to win the banana, which is a large inflatable banana that's valued the same as a spirit stick.

Sophomore ReseNe cheerleader Emily Cecava said, "My favorite thing this year was camp because it was a lot of fun and we won the banana which is one of the best things you can get. Its kind of a big deal."

The cheerleaders pumped up the crowd and cheered on fellow Silver Hawk athletes during football, volleyball , basketball and wrestling. They also played a big role in pep rallies, Spirit Week and Spirit Fest.

Junior varsity consisted of l 2 girls with nine juniors and three sophomores. One of the most memorable things they did together was have a paint fight.

As for her favorite part of cheer, junior Stacy Manson said, "The people and intense games! Oh and also the cheer offs between other schools."

ReseNe had l 4 girls, the second largest out of all four squads. The squad also contained a set of triplets, Natalie , Brittany and Makenzie Beard.

Freshmen were only allowed to make the freshman group and l 3 girls made up the squad.

Cheerleaders put a lot of time and effort into their routines as well as having fun doing so. Other than the free breakfast every Friday morning, squad nights and many games they attended, it was really all about being a close-knit supportive unit

After three years of cheer at Southwest, junior Kanai Kuhnel said "Your squad is like your family. You have their back no matter what. I'm excited to be a part of something where I know I can do what I love and enjoy it. A cheerleader doesn't have to be the prettiest girl or the most popular. She's the girl who loves to be loud and herself "

Although each squad had a lot of different people, they came together like a family to have fun but also work hard to improve.

Marching on the sidelines C.Olor Guard and Marching Band

Not only did the marching band and color guard bring spirit at the football games, but they also brought spirit to the school itself.

Varsity marching band played at home games during football season and traveled to competitions. Some places they competed at were Columbus, Lincoln High, Millard South and at Seacrest Field.

The types of music they played were "Sea Wolf," "Sea Hawk," "Tortugu" and the costumes they wore were just their original green, silver and black uniforms.

'We play music that is challenging but is still lots of fun," said junior Lauren Troester.

"We played at the LSW and LSE game and there were a lot of people there. It's just really intense and exciting," said junior Abbey Jones.

The freshmen marching band doesn't play at games with the exception of the homecoming game, which they performed after the game.

Some of the places they had performed at were Lincoln High, Columbus and at Seacrest Field. The most favored song played by the freshmen marching band was by the Beatles.

Freshman Connor Blankenau said, "Beatles' music and the costumes were awesome possum!"

Freshman Keven Feng agreed, "The costumes were big, but fun to wear and the music we played was fun and energetic."

One thing they're preparing for is going to Honolulu, Hawaii next year on Dec. 5 to the Pearl Harbor ceremony. It is remembrance of the attack on Dec. 7, 194 l.

But before they go, members have to save up . $ l 850 each by having fund-raisers like selling chocolate and coffee.

As the year ended Color Guard and Marching Band continued to improve their skills to lead the students sections for next year.

Music, the unspoken language · lnstnnnenta1 Music

Different types of instrumental bands provided students with opportunities to play many different types of music.

Concert bands included Freshman Band, which was only for freshmen, Symphonic Band, which had more sophomores and juniors, and Wind Ensemble. Wind ensemble was the highest level of concert band that one could participate in.

Junior Abbey Jones who was in Prep Jazz and Symphonic Band, said her favorite thing was "getting to be in band leadership and trying to be a good role model."

Jazz bands included Freshman Jazz Band, Prep Jazz which was the level in between freshmen and Varsity Jazz II, Varsity Jazz II, and Varsity Jazz I. Varsity Jazz I was the highest level of jazz band that one could play in. The jazz band performed at the annual Swing Night, which is a dance hosted by the jazz bands and music department. It was a way for the jazz band to get out and have a good time with fun dancing and great music.

Sophomore Bobby Jagadich, who was in prep jazz and symphonic band and has been in band since fifth grade, said his favorite memory about band was "the trips to the concerts." Orchestra, of course, was only for string players. There was a Freshman and a Varsity Orchestra.

The instrumental classes were all involved in skinnies, where students go to one class for half a block and the other class, the other half.

Choirs & Sho-w- Choir

The choir department had another successful year. Instructor Denise Cotton and new assistant vocal instructor Andrew Jacobson directed five choirs: Freshman choir, concert choir, varsity concert choir, chamber choir and women's choir.

Select chamber choir met every other day • during Block 3A. Members were selected by audition in the early spring of 2010. Students were exposed to collegiate and professional level choral music in this choir. This year chamber choir was selected to perform at Nebraska Music Educator Conference.

Varsity concert choir met during Block 3B, Monday through Friday. Members were selected by audition in the early spring of 2010. Students learned principles of music theory, music history, basics of vocal pedagogy, choral literature and rehearsal/performance etiquette. The choir performed at four concerts as well as the LPS Large Group Contest.

Students had an opportunity to try our for one of the two LSW show choirs. The varsity show choir is Resonance and the junior varsity show choir is Ambience.

The show choirs traveled all over Nebraska and also in Iowa and Missouri. Show choir normally had up to five competitions per year.

Junior Amy Cotton was a member of Resonance. Her most memorable part of show choir was doing extremely well at their competition at Benton. "Have confidence in yourself and it's one of the best experiences you can have in your life". Is what she advised someone wanting to try out for show choir.

"I was too young to remember" is what junior Kelly Krueger said about how long she has been singing. Although she loves singing, her biggest pet peeve was when people wouldn't stop talking when they were trying to get stuff done.

Almost all of the singers included in these choirs have sang since they were little. Many plan to take their careers to the next level.

Hmm. What can we possibly say about this year's staff besides, well, we struggled. We were a very hard-headed group of people and coming up with the 20 l l Talon theme wa s interesting. We wanted something that related to an idea of Silver Hawks only and some wanted a bit of a SuNival Guide, so we came to a happy medium of "I Survived "

It was hard work, but with many ideas from the "American Pie" book of secrets, that became our cover and the handwriting style was used for the quotes that were supposed to look as if it was Silver Hawks editing and adding to our story.

We took some guidance from last yearbook's theme with the "OUT" words for our section names. And we used those words in all of our dividers to keep it consistent.

First, we would like to apologize for any inconsistencies in our book since we tried but things were a bit hectic with this book. For any names misspelled, people left out of e vents or e rror s, we are very sorry; we tried to catch them all.

And last but never least we owe a huge thank you to Dianne Kuppig, she put up with all of our shenanigans and t a lking. We were loud, we were annoying, we were all over the plac e , we tried to black out the windows once and play rap music at tim e s, but she kept us on track, and without her, you all woul d n o t h ave this book finished on time. Thank you all for y our su pport beca u se it is not us, but you, all who make thi s book.
