The student body at LNS spent yet another year making friends, creating memories, and, most importantly, striving for success in both academics and activities. North Star saw improvements in academics with higher test scores in a multitude of ~ tfi0nc~ B- \ !ll) prepares for a test in World Hist~ areas, as well as incredible achievem·e nts a plethora of activities . This~Glass,was <:te~icated to learning about the world regarding athletics, fine arts, and other school based activities.

• from antfent times to the present day.

These accomplishments showed a l rue .reflection of the hard work and determination put forth by upper and lowerclassmeh alike.

The freshmen class spent the year learning what life in high school is like, and what it really means to be part of North Star.

The 9th graders spent most of the year completing classes t hat often served as prerequisites for more advanced classes to be t aken as sophomores next year.

Sophomores found themselves getting a taste of Advanced Placement classes for the first time, taking the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school. Other highlights included more scheduling freedom, and more chances to get involved in athletics, clubs, and other school activities.

The junior class took on daunting tasks, such as preparing for the ACT, a standardized test that determines college readiness. They also took Take Charge, a career education class meant to prepare students for life after high school.

Seniors experienced the most scheduling freedom, giving t hem the choice they needed to fulfill graduation requirements as well as take classes they may not have had the chance to • before. More importantly, the Class of 2015 reflected on their t ime at North Star and prepared for the future by applying for scholarships and colleges.

Though every Gator experienced the year a bit differently, all students worked towards the same goal of graduation, gaining experience, developing fruitful relationships, and most of all striving for excellence.

When students thought of senior year, their minds automatically turned to graduation; they didn' t often think of the year as a whole. However, it was during senior year that they had the opportunity to participate in classes only offered to seniors. Those classes include Literature of the Holocaust, Anatomy and Physi ology, Pop Culture, and AP Chemistry. "I liked taking Pop Culture because it was a class that I could relate to and have relevant discussions with my peers ," said Ronnie Bredemeier (12). Throughout the year friends exchanged senior pictures, pondered the choices ahead of them, and made their final preparations for graduation.

-The end of the year was marked by the senior Gator walk, a North Star tradition that capped off a student' s time at North Star. The seniors paraded amon i columns of cheering people in support of the class 's final moments at school. It was a North Star ritual, signifying the end of a journ ey and a step towards a ne"' adventure. The journey ended at the Senior BBQ, where the members of the Class of 2015 reflected on the once in a lifetime experience of being a Gator and discussed their plans for the future.

Junior year, as usual, took the cake for bein1: the toughest year in a student's high-school career.

The enormous amounts of studying, test prep, and standardized exams were among the things juniors found themselves the most stressed about. Many courses for college credit were offered to the junior , this year, allowing them to get a leg up on college.

The focus of junio r year was to make sure that students were prepared for the ACT and the NeSA test ; during second semester.

Howe ver junior year wasn 't without its priv ledges. This year juniors were fianlly able to enjoy the _perks that came along with being dubbed "uppe classmen," such as attending Prom and going out at lunch.

The junio r class was very active in extracurricular activities.

Many of them even got a shot at state competitions in softball, volleyball, theatre, and many other activities. Juniors also looked toward their future in the career-prep class Take Charge. In this class, student learned more about what life was going to be like after high school.

The junior class ultimately achieved its goal, finishing the yea1 strong while still preparing themselves for the final year ahead.

The sophomore class faced and overcame rr. any challenges this year, while transitioning from freshmen to sophomores. Some of these challenges inch: ed taking college-level classes, for example, Advancec 'Placement World History, for the first time. First p( riods we~e also introduced to sophomores, giving sor homores the option to start, and potentially leave, sch( ,ol an hour earlier while still keeping a full schedule.

Sophomores also faced an increased workload. Th~; second year of high school was focused to help stuc ent prepare for the critical junior year.

This year' s sophomore class was very activ, in academics, athletics, and other activities. Many students earned letters in sports, activities such as thea re and music, as well as academics. It was also the fir~= year that the students were able to be awarded Academic All-Conference if they participated on a var" tylevel team.

The sophomore year found the 10th graders becoming more mob1 e, as many students learned to drive this year. This opened up many possibi ities such as being able to drive to events and practices, as well as a great( degree of personal freedom.

Overall, the sophomore class made a mark on North Star while st ll looking forward on the new possibilities that awaited them in the years tc ""

Becoming a Gator was a new and exr larating experience that could only be done on• ~ in a lifetime. It was the coming of age of a m w era, a new adventure, and the start of a bran new chapter in the lives of the students. This year's freshman class not received the know· edge that teachers helped provid to them, bu they also received a chance to experience un 1ue events at the very start of their high-school careers. From going on the first Gator Walk , their first day of school, to attending the Hon coming dance for the first time, or even getti g a lead role in the school play. North Star set foundation for the freshmen, and allowed the n to discover who they were in an accepting er 'ironment.

Many great events that happened for freshmen allowed them to make the baby ste s in determining their future. It could be joinir the'football team for the first time, attending the first Pep Rally, or mak 1g a mark in one of the dozens extracurricular activities found at North Sta .

As new Gators, they joined together to become part of this once ma-lifetime experience. Freshman year sta~ted the·journey for the next fo r years, since you couldn' t Gator once without beginning.

Offer ing a productive, safe, welcoming, and respect ful envir onme nt for stude nts, the Supp ort Staff work ed day to day ensur ing the easy flow of North Star' s packe d hallways.

From the custo dians who work ed tirele ssly to keep the school in tip-to p shape , to the teach ers who pushe d each stude nt in the classroom, each and every mem ber of the North Star staff was comm itted to developing the stude nts that atten ded it.

The studying, the procrastination, and the late nights were experiences for all of ushbut those experi~nces led to success. North Star Hig School's academes was one that strove to be the best they could be.

Lincoln North Star was one out of two schools in LPS Llhat offered a Chinese class for students. We also had Llhe most ELL students enrolled in comparison to other schools and dedicated six _percent of the building to help with the P.rogram. Tfie late nights of studymg for Llhe difficult Aavanced Placement classes or the many projects from English classes have all shaped the North itar community. 'The one of a kind Wandzi bucks, ..,pooky Demo Day in Chemistry, or just the positive friendships made throughout the years, were all strong contributors to the academic programs.

With a wide variety of business-oriented courses offered at North Star, students gained the skills arid knowledge to succeed after high school.

"High school i.s an important life step," said Cindy Hoehne, a Take Charge teacher. "This is why we try and prepare kids for the future as much as possible." A diverse assortment of classes and several different instructors allowed for a wealth of knowledge to be available to students. "We have lots of different classes," said Dorann Avey, "but all with the same goal." Avey taught the Business Econom ics course. The array of business classes included Business Management, Business Economics, Keyboarding, Computer Applications, Digital Media, College Accounting, World of Business, and Take Charge.

All of the business classes were aimed at preparing students for the world outside of high schoo When asked about the goal of North Star's busines: department, Avey said "The goal is to give studentf a feel for business in the real world."

The addition of business classes into a student's coursework gave them the North Star advan tage to becoming productive members of the business community.

To man y stud ents Engl ish was used as an escape to write anyt hing they want ed to. They could express their own perso nalit ies and every day experiences throu gh their writi ng.

It was that class that you spent coun tless nigh ts stayi ng up on one pape r simp ly because you want ed to make it perfe ct; you want ed to make it your own. "I have learn ed so muc h abou t English throu ghou t the years , but this year has been the year I reall y have put all of my prior knowledge into place," said Elain a May er (11).

"Everyth ing we build, we do only once in the year," said Juan Mora (11) who enjoyed North Star's Industria l Technology (ITECH) classes.

Other than having an independ ent work-stu dy in ITECH, students worked together to build something unique. Many students were in and out of these classes taking in life lessons that they could apply to everyday life problems.

Besides learning about how to build robots, or wire a circuit, students applied what they learned in the classroom to everyday events.

"Sometim es I hear students tell me they can't do it. I do my best to guide them back on the right track and afterward s I hear them say 'Ms. Satree! Ms. Satree! I got it!' That is one of my happy teacher moments where you know a smile is on my face," said Charmai n Satree, an original North Star teacher. Satree was the ITECH Departm ent Chair and planned on retiring at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.

Satree lead a student to the Skills USA and even won the bronze medal. "Watchin g North

Star come across the board for the winner brough tears to my eyes," said Satree. "It was amazing to see our name in lights." After reflecting on her years as a Gator teacher, Satree elaborate d on all of the changes she had seen througho ut the last 12 years: "Through out the years, I learned that building relations hips with kids is key. You trust them and they trust you. That is what will make them want to work harder."

Although , some students may have preferred learning in the books, hands-on classes gave a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Somethin g that Ms. Satree could take away from her years teaching was knowing that her time wasn't wasted. Many students had gone on to pursue their dreams in engineering, but without her, it may have never happened as easily.

So with that, we thank you for sticking with us Ms. Satree. Not just from a student point of view, but with what you brought into North Star, sharing experiences with every student that only happened once in a lifetime.

''The staff and students support each other at events and sports." Megan Kroll, Coordinator

The administrators at North Star kept the school running smoothly. They in the hallways helping the students get to class or keeping the bayou organized during lunch. " I pick up a lot of trays at lunch," said Karla Tinius, jokingly. In addition to the things we saw them do, they also kept things in order behind the scenes. "I'm in charge and work with the facilities. My job is to order repairs and parts to keep everything going as planned," said Tom Focht.

The administratdrs also worked to develop strong relationships with all Gators. " My favorite part of being an administrator is helping and getting to know the students," said Mike Gillotti. "I put students and families in touch with useful resources and try to set goals for them to achieve."

The administrators made the journey through "the Swamp" smooth waters.

As you look back on your years at North Star, many things stood out. You didn't necessarily remember the hours of homework or what book you read in English class sophomore year.

What you recalled were the memories you made with your friends. • Things like homecoming and getting dressed up for themes at football, volleyball, and basketball games - those memories were the ones that lasted a lifetime. When we came together to make Gator Nation, we produced something greater than each of us was as an individual. The moments we shared would never be forgotten. We will always be able to say we were proud to be Gators.

"All I Do Is"

"All About Th at Bass"

The Dazzlers were very busy practicing and preparing for performances. They danced against some of the top schools in Nebraska in the State Competition hosted in February. The Dazzlers were often responsible for coming up with their own original choreography. Practices were held in the mornings before school almost every day of the week. They danced at many different venues such as the football field, basketball court, and in Grand Island for State Competition. Maddie Spale (10) said, "My favorite place to dance wa at Seacrest during football games."

Lexie Johnson ( 11) agreed, "I liked performing at football games more because it is such a great experience." The team enjoyed dancing at basketball games as well. They also participated in the annual Star Strutter's Pre-State Competition held at Lincoln Northeast High School.

The team was very close and had great chemistry on the floor. "I think this year our team was a lot closer and everyone was comfortable around each other," said Taylyn Lawrence (12). Lawrence said that since everyone was more relaxed, they were able to be more smooth as they danced together. None of the dances would have been possible without the help of Coach Dorann Avey. Coach Avey, who established the Dazzlers, returned this year as their new head coach. "Without her direction we wou ldn 't have been half the team we were this year," Lawrence said.

Students alway, looked forward to the Dazzlers' amazing performances during games and went out to see them when they danced against other schools. The crowds loved to watch their dances, and the Dazzlers always managed to impress everyone who watched.

The Jazz Band was the only auditione d instrume ntal music group to take the stage at North Star this year. Featurin g just twelve members , the band was made up of four saxophon ists, three trumpets , two percussio nists, one trombon ist, one pianist, and one bassist. The band represen ted the school in a variety oi ways, including playing at the orientati on for the 8th graders and at the Lincoln Northeas t "Spring Swing" dance. The band also represen ted North Star outside of the city at the Great Plains Jazz Festival in Omaha earning a Division I "Superio r" rating for the first time in five years.

Lead for the first time by Director Rob Salistean , Jazz Band practiced every day in class and the band tradition ally played up tempo swing music, but also delved into other styles such as Funk, Latin, and Swing Ballads. The band showcase d what they learned at the four instrume ntal music concerts put on by the Mus Departm ent this year, as well as in Electroph onic at the end of the year. "What separates Jazz Band from ot music classes is that it allows more creativity ," said lead saxophon ist Drew Vogel (12). "You get to improvis E your solos, and the music is a lot more contemp orary."

With a majority of the band graduati ng this year, it was imperativ e that the band bring in new members .

Trombon ist Tyler Topping (11) was one of five new students to join the jazz band. "Jazz band has been a hu challenge but really fun. Learning a new style of music was hard enough, but the real challenge came from trying to fit in with the more experienc ed players. They've been really supportive," though, and I can't imagi1 not being in jazz band."

This season's focus for the Girls Basketball team was all about raising standards. Many were dissatisfied with last year's season, and as a result, they all put forth the effort needed to develop as players. Some decided to make advancements physically by practicing and working hard over the off-season. This gave the team a head start by having a group of players w o were already much more experienced for the new season. "I think overall our playing was much better," said Hannah raff (11). "That came froin pushing each other to do better." C mbining this with the already established team chemistry, t 1ey were able to dive right in to work on improvements.

However, others found it important to become clos, r with their teammates. "We relied more on each other thm just ourselves," said Bailey Brown (10). "This allowed us top our best efforts forward." They were all able to get along, whi1, made the season more enjoyable for everyone. This aspect .nadi people want to return to the team, and compelled them t o naxi mize their effort.

While the previous year was a little shaky due to a ( iang in coaches, this year the team was more comfortable with ;oacl Al Simpson's system of instruction. The team doubled the • wins this season in comparison to the last. While the team ~.proved significantly, they still believed that much work we lld be needed for the future. "We let several games get away f ) ID that we should have won," said Justine Griess (11), "but ~ wil learn and carry that experience into the next season."

The team said...

Did you enjoy your wins more when you were at home or away?

Home: 50% ■ Away: 50%

■

Did you learn more from your losses or your wins?

Wins: 57%

■

Losses: 43% ■ 172

"It take s a certa in kind of perso n, a certa in attit udt:

to be a wres tler," said head wres tling coach Jake Fros chei 3 Ther e is no team to fall back on; a wres tler had to showca ~ his hard work ever y matc h, "you can feel prett y exposed 1 there ," said Fros cheis er.W hile on the mat it was a one-on- 1 battl e, team was still very impo rtant . "We 're one big fami said Tyle r Broe ker (12), "Bei ng a team mate is a big part ing successful on the mat. " Anyone who atten ded a Nort h wres tling matc h knew there was neve r a mom ent of silem when a Gato r was wres tling . Whe ther it was the coaches h ,: lerin g from the side of the mat, or team mate s shou ting tht 1 supp ort, the team atmo sphe re was always prese nt.

The 2014-2015 seaso n migh t not have reflected the team 's hard work, but the work ethic of Nort h Star wres tl 1 was a tradi tion both coaches and ·a thlet es know would continue . "No one can say we didn 't give it our all," said Baile Fulm er (12). Thos e who came and watc hed the Gato rs wre • could see that they gave every matc h ever ythin g they had. leave it all on the mat, " said Bran don Yost (10), "We all k ' - - ffl~@Dil~ we gave it our best.
