"Save the Drama for your Mama!" this is the theme that was chosen for the craziest Rocket Rowdies! Who are the Rocket Rowdies? They are the students who are proud to be part of Northeast High School. Everyone probably thinks that the Rowdies are the most proud but the truth is that we, students of Northeast, all can be proud of our school. The Rowdies are mostly at sporting events but that isn't the only way or place that students show their pride for Northeast. There are those students who represent LNE at different conferences or activities. There are those who join clubs, band, choir, and other groups. The most obvious group of people who are said to have the most school spirit are the cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are there to get the crowd pumped up so they can roo·t for the Rockets to more victories. The cheerleaders have come up with a lot of 'catchy' chants that have got the crowd pumped for games. Not only the cheerleaders are said to have a lot of pride but also the Star Strutters. They can be seen at games performing some of their awesome dances. Besides sports there are those who join clubs or groups that represent Northeast at different conferences. Of course, the yearbook editors represent Northeast and compete in the Nebraska High School Press Association against schools all over the state. There are more ways that our fell ow students show their school spirit not just by going to games or joining

lubs but overall jus an be proud if they want to be so keep che

There was no place like home during the home coming dance. I think everyone would agree that while at the dance it felt like we were jus t that, at home. Like every year, the dance was put on by our cheerleac and once again they did ~n awesome job putting everyt tog.ether. The theme for the dance was "Wizard of Oz.' The decorations were top-notch consisting of a yellow brick road, lollipops, and a very detailed set-up of Eme1 City. Everyone who walked in knew they would have a night that the y'd never forget. A lot of students felt that music was good, but wished there would have been mff upbeat songs to dance to. Many freshmen did n't know what to expect, anc were hesitant when it came to actually dancing. By the of the night most became comfortable enough to get ou the dance floor and bust a move. "I had a really good time. My favorite part was ting ready for the dance!" Said Freshman Hannah Boun When it came to dancing, not a single student in the building stood still. We danced to various songs fro 1 "The Ch a Cha Slide" to "Ice Ice Baby" and "Y ou 've g Fight for Your Right to Party". "Homecoming is al ways fun when everyone dac I thought the night went by really fast. I wish it would H

Like all years, each grade had a guy and a girl who were chosen by a majorer ity vote of their classmates.

By Adrianna Koepping Students had a pretty awesome time getting down at the Candlelight dance. There were 354 teenagers who enjoyed dancing, drinking beverages, and socializing at the DelRay Ballroom on Jan. 7. "Our theme was Moon lite Dream," said Junior Jessica Lloyd, chairman of the Candlelight committee. "We tried to make it as dreamy as possible with the hanging stars and moon. We also put candles and white rose petals on each table to add to the theme." The mirrors, lighting, and wide variety of music made it one of the best Candlelight experiences so far. "I was really impressed. It was my first Candlelight so I expected another dance in the center gym. When I got there I couldn't believe that it was done completely by Northeast students," said Sophomore Emma McEntarffer. Students had a good time rocking to the DJ's beats, which included songs like Love Shack, When You Say Nothing at All, and Laffy Taffy. Senior Alex Allemang said, "Candlelight is one of my favorite dances because it allows students to go crazy with no authority from teachers. This being my senior year was especially fun because the girls couldn't keep their hands off of me! "

However, anxious momen ts came after foam insulation knocked loose on take-off caused a two-d ay delay in Discovery 's return to Earth. B. S c ie n c e o r religion? Communities and school districts ferociously debated the merits o f Intelligent Design, a concept that asserts certain aspects o f the living world seemed to be caused by an intelligent source , rather than a random process such as natural selection. Opponents claimed it was religion masquerading as science, while proponents insisted it shou ld be a respected point o f view. C . S p a c e to u ri s t American scientist Gregory Olsen paid $20 million for a 10-day trip to the International Space Station.

MySpace.com, an online social community geared toward young adults and musicians , became one o f the fastest-growing websites on the internet. Ju st two years old , MySpace's membership approached 50 million users and began getting more hits than Google and AOL. Elsewhere, popular online encyclopedias like Wikipedia started to be viewed as viable reference tools, despite debates regarding its accuracy.

Ten Things You Didn't Know About Being a Star Strutter 1. We eat Chinese food together to bond. 2. Getting ready in the north concourse bathroom every morning is nothing out of the ordinary. 3. Secret p!llow fights do take place. 4. Yes, we work out. 5. We go through pantyhose faster than you can say "Nice high-kicks." 6. We really do enjoy wearing black tube socks every Friday. 7. We can do the splits on cue. 8. Getting a close parking spot is no longer an issue. 9. We really don't get along as well as it may seem 10. We reall aren't that offended by the nick-

One of the most memorable performances of the year was during the Star Strutter Show when the girls performed a routine involving chairs. Senior Jen Marshall blows a kiss to the crowd towards the end of the performance.

The squad does it II: camps, travel, fundraising and a number of other things afl for • love to perform. It all comes down to 16 hardworking girls, n one dedicated sponsor, Erin Pauley, who devote their morn ngs and afternoons to perfecting routines just days before show time. The girls perform with the band at half-tim during football season, and at both girls and boys basketball games. "Being a Strutter demands a lot of ti e and practicing, but it's rth it. You become more than just teammates with the girls, come friends," said Senior Jena VanGroningen. Strutting is a yearlong commitment. The girls began learnutines in April 2005 and keep busy until March 2006 when in arsity basketball eason ends.

This year the girls kicked off the new school year by performing a flag and dance routine at Booster Blastoff in August. Throughout th year they participated in Harvest of Harmony, the LPS Band C mpetition, the State Competition, the Star City/ Shrine Bowl Pa ade, the All-Star Boys and Girls halftime show, the Southwest Dr II Team Show, and the East High Dance Expedition. It's not as easy as it looks! We have a lot of fun, but we also work really hard every week to make sure the routines look as good as hey can. We're all perfectionists," said Junior Jill Watts. he 2005-2006 Star Strutters ended the seaso11 as a success. Wi h fewer home games this year than last, they ade the most of ea h performance. The girls overcame many obstacles and experie ced many triumphs. All the girls will definitely lk away with m ny great friendships, experiences, and memories that they will ne er forget.

One of the main goals for the Freshman foott all team was to have a winning season. "We knew \\ e had to work hard in practices in order to beat so-ne of the better teams," commented Freshman Bret Rausch. The most memorable game for the freshman team was the last one against Southwest. "They :ire one of our biggest rivals. It was very important j or us to win this game because our season record w ts 4-3 and in order to have a winning season we kn, ,w we had to play our hardest." At half time the ro<kets were up 14-0. After half time Southwest sec re but missed a field goal, 14-6. With about three seconds left it was 14-8 and Southwest had the b 111 on the 25 yard line, but the Rockets intercepted th ball, and Southwest lost the opportunity to scon . "It was a tough fought game but the Rockets came out on top, go Rockets," said Freshman Br ~t Rausch. The team achieved their goal of having a win • season with 5-3 record.

By Emily Schwindt You know marching band best for their performances during half-time at all home, varsity football games, but what you may not know is how much time and effort they put into giving these wonderful performances. During the summer they attend band camp, where they spend hours learning lots of music. This year they learned and performed th music ofjohn Williams, playing tunes from jaws, Superman and Indiana Jones. The movie theme was a big hit, especially the theme song from jaws, which was complete with a moment of screaming. Marching band requires a lot of focus. Playing an instrument and marching at the same time is hard enough, but to do both well takes something extra. Northeast's marching band proved that they had what it takes to be a successful, talented band. The band competed in many competitions, like the LPS Competition and Harvest of Harmony, from which they brought home a superior rating.

. The 2005-2006 school year brought with it a band trip. The Northeast marching band ventured to Florida, where they played in the Gator Bowl, as well as a competition featuring schools from all around the country. They were rewarded for all of their hard work with a trip to Disney World and the Florida Coast. The band was led by Senior drum majors, Erin Baker, Alison Nickolaus, and Jennifer Schroeder and Senior Kala Bland was the freshman drum major. The drum majors help to lead the band to success, but they couldn't do it without the dedication of all of the bttnds members putting in long hours early in the morning.

Students ·have to audition only once to make it into Jazz Band and they can continue being in the group until they graduate. "We study the basics of music theory that are often over looked in other music classes," said Junior Logan Reising. They perform in between the two singing halves ofThe Rock Show. They also travel to play in jazz festivals at University of Nebraska Omaha, Kansas University, and University of Northern Colorado. "All the instrumentalists do have their dif ferences but we do come together and create beautiful music," said unior Joel Pierce.

e By Billie Cole For one class period 44 talented students who play woodwinds, brass, and percuss.ion make up the Wind Ensemble. The group plays complicated music, the most difficult in all the bands at Northeast. "The favorite song among the students is the Overture to Nabucco. It's the faster and harder than the others," commented Mrs. Janet LaFollette. Another piece they play is the Witch and the Saint. This piece tells a story of two sisters, one good and the other evil. The music tells the story and sets the mood of it all. All year the band prepares for three concerts and Contest in April. The band features Senior soloists Erin Baker and Matt Gunther.

By Jessica Navratil "Practice makes perfect," said Sophomore Whitney Villines. Whitney is one of the many students of the Northeast Symphonic Band. Mr. Brady Rohlfs is new this year as the conductor of the band . . "He really pushes us as a whole, to be the best band we can be," said Junior Josh Hillers. The symphonic band is a group of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders that play different varieties of music. "The music we play is a lot of fun because it's mellow, slower, and has a lot of chords. We play a variety of operas, movie themes, and Christmas songs," said Junior Justin Haxby. The band competed in the Harvest of Harmony competition, and they have concerts for their families and friends to show off their skills. They even got to perform during the half-time show of the Florida Gator Bowl.

By Devin Neil Some of us have a love for music or just a natural talent. Besides all the stress that high school brings, many students release it through a hobby like Orchestra. It's all about students committing time and effort into creating calm and relaxing music for others to enjoy. Orchestra doesn't only offer you a chance to do something you love but to also make friends that share the interest as well.

138

Orchestra

"The music is fun and you get to meet a lot of new people," said Junior Sara Mayfield "My favorite song we play is St Paul Sweet because it has an Irish feel." All of their hard work and effort shine at the end of the ye~~ in a concert for all of the students and their families. Student in Orchestra don 't only play for the school but for themselve· as well. This just shows that to them it's more than playing ar instrument, it's a passion.

Above: Lynnie Krause blasts her silver trumpet. Right: In second period, Mr. Brady Rohlfs directs the band. Left: Eric Schlicker, Alex Klundt, andJosiah Wood drop the beats in class.

By Adrianna Koepping Toot! Crash! Boom! That's what you would hear during second period in the band room. Freshman band is a group of students ho enjoy playing music. All of these stuclents play differe.nt instruments, but when it all boils down their main goal is to play in unison, to sound like a band. For most of these teenagers, band isn't difficult. "It's actually pretty easy once you learn your part and know your notes," said Mike Schiltz. For other freshmen, they are working hard during class and outside of class to make their band sound excellent.

"We're really working on being united. Everyone has to step it up with individual parts," said Jordan Powell. A lot of freshman band members want to pursue their instrumental careers to the next level, such as jazz band or marching band. Schiltz said,"My first concern right now would have to be the uniforms. They are like 100 years old and they smell really bad, but hopefully they'll be better next year." As long as Freshman band keeps up the good work, the group will continue to have an outstanding band for years to come. Maybe they might even get new uniforms!

By Emma McEntarffer Chamber Singers is a select group made up of primarily juniors and se rs who audition for singing groups in the spring. The class is under the direo .on of Mrs. Carol Meyer. They are a very close-knit class that has a lot of fun ith the spunky personality of Mrs. Meyer which helps everyone be themselves Members of the group get to perform in The Rock Show along with Voic 'N Harmony. The Rock Show is one of the more fun performances that the g .up puts on. They get to do many costume changes and sing many different of songs from today's top chart lists and songs from many years ago. There are many traditional events and concerts that the Chamber Sin rs look forward to doing each year. The Christmas concert, for one, is a tr aitional concert performed at Northeast each year for friends and family d ' g the holiday season. Also during the holiday season they sing at 'The Candi Gala' where they perform their Christmas songs at St. Church. Each year they go out and sing for their comm . This year they sang at Eastmont Towers and for the U.S. P Service's Christmas Party. The hardest thing for the Chamber Singers this year i low amount of men in the choir. The women outnumb men 12-6. The men have found that they have to sing out : more than usual to be heard and to keep their music sou lovely. "We've had many disagreements and points of view i he class but in the end we oecome one family," said Junior ey Murphy.

By Gretchen Larsen Sophomore Select, AKA "The Bowling Bunch" has turned out to be quite a bit more than a singing group. It's not just people who like to sing, but people who excel in their singing ability. Sophomore students get together, put in a lot of attitude, a lot of hard work, and create a lot of new found friendships to make a unique group with a powerful sound Kelsie Kadav. , soprano, says that, "The class is sort of like organized chaos. Everyone's doing everything to get the best end sound possible. We're always singing, always smiling, and I don't think the class would be like that without Mr. Bowling as our teacher." Charles Bowling, teacher of five of Northeast's singing groups, has been a big inspiration to his students, teaching them but treating them as friends rather than as if they were inferior. "Every student wants a teacher that's not only kind to them but that knows what he's talking about. He wants us to become something," said Kadavy. So, although some may underestimate these sopnomores for being, well, sophomores, that's the least of their worries. Each student had to try out for this group, so they know that they belong there and that they have plenty of talent so that they do not feel questioned in their ability. With Bowling as their teaGher, the "Bowling Bunch will continue to succeed as they better their voices as well as themselves.

Some might consider the members of LNE and Rocket Singers lucky. This is their first and only year at Northeast during which trying out is unnecessary. The freshmen need on to sign up. They probably are really lucky, too. This year our freshmen singers are having an awesome time being taught fun songs by Mrs. Carol Meyers, who is determined for students to enjoy themselves. "Ifs pretty awesome. You can be yourself when you sing," said Ronnie Hurlbut. The group lives up to that too, and it's no easy feat. Because the class is first period, 'waking up on the right side of the bed,' is only half of it. Students will usually do a few warm-up songs to lighten the mood like "Good Night Ladies" or "When the Saints go Marching in." They participate • the Waffle Feed, this year singing "Old Time k N Roll," during which members say that 1,,..__.. im ortant to sense of humor about what you're doing. Although the moves required may not exactly be the hippest to hit Northeast, it's u e to have take o and enjoy performing. If performance is not exactly favored by a member, this group will help students to figure that out. Late in February is the time for tryouts for the next singing groups, which are more selectiv and make it necessary for freshmen to really get passionate about singing, which, if our freshmen prove one thing, it's that this is not a problem. 0

As in all the groups that Bowling teaches, he is the inspiration, the drive. During their warm-ups or during songs with mulitple parts being sung ~t the same time (which is actually called a polythornc song) Bowling will yell at his students to "Fight • for your part!" If that's not a driving factor for the students to get their voice out there and be heard, then what is? Concert Choir is agroup of students, with different ages, skills, knowledge, and personalitie~, ~h~t happen to have one very important chara~ter!stt~ m common. They love to sing. Through this singing group, students can take that appreciation t~ ~he next level by improving their voices and gaining stage experience.

Many of Northeast Stu-Co members have been a of the club since their freshman year. The students keep busy all yea.r many different projects and conventions to attend. Planning and gett work done is not an easy task, especially with each member's busy sd outside of school. Three-year member, Senior Billie Cole, has many great memories c time as apart of Student Council. "My favorite part of the year was during homeless awareness. You et to know eve~yone better and it's just really fun staying the night c he school," said Cole. This year's council consists of 42 students and each one contribut( every activity. Over the school year Student Council has been involve Katrina relief fund-raising project, which raised over $3,000. They we: here for the freshman orientation to give tours to new students.

By Emma McEntarffer Campus Life is a group of Christian students that come together on Tuesdays to meet together, have fun, and talk about their faith. The weekly meetings usually start off with everyone chatting amongst one another. Shortly after the meeting begins leader Allison Franzen tells everyone about the game that they will be playing. They're not your average games like Hopscotch, Candy Land, or Checkers. The games played are games like, Fish tosses with dead fish, relay races to eat whatever you grab for a sack, and doughnut eating contest to win money towards their Ski Trip. "I got a Q-tip blown at my face one time while we were playing a game," said Senior Danielle Miller. After all of the fun and games the group breaks into smaller groups to talk about the topic for . the week. "We get into our small groups and talk about fun stuff like Jesus," said Senior Kayla Michel. Northeast Campus Life has students become the leaders at Robin Mickle Middle School Seniors Kayla Michel, Danie Miller, Jamie Jaques, and Juniors Nicole Peck, Whitney Villines, and Jessica Wenzel are the six Northeast students that make up the leaders for Mickle to be able to have Campus Life. One of the favorite meetings is the Christmas Party. For the meeting they all come together to wear cheesy sweaters and celebrate the holiday season. Another meeting that everyone enjoys is Battle of the Sexes. The group splits into the two groups of Boys vs. Girls and see who can tough it out to the end. They also enjoy 'Burger Blast'. Which took place at Kayla Michel's house this year. Throughout the year they take trips such as Ski Trip, Kansas City Trip to Worlds of Fun, All Nighters, and Summer Camp. "It's the most amazing thing ever ... since play dou h," said Michel and Miller.

By A rianna Koepping Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is a national student organization for grades 7-12. It develops skills that help students to prepare for their futures. FBLA members meet once a month to listen to speakers, discuss the plans for community involvement, and enjoy activities. "It's a good opportunity for students to be a part of a small group in such a big school," said Caroline Hug, FBLA sponsor. In the community, FBLA members take an annual trip to The Ambassador Nursing Home. "Bingo was pretty fun," said Junior Troy Hansen. "We also donated gifts to them, that I think they really enjoyed." FBLA is a great way to learn qualities of a good employee and what to look for in a business. Speakers from different companies come to the FBLA meetings to share their important information. FBLA members also attend conferences and conventions; "At the fall conference I learned how to be more open minded. In order to be a successful team you have to accept others opinions," Junior Kent Urban stated. At the end of the year, FBLA members attend a State Leadership conference. First and second place proceed to Nationals, where they take tests, that consist of being interviewed and judged by their performance. FBLA also goes on your resume. If you want to be successful in life, make an impact in your community, and conquer your business dreams, join FBLA!

By Mikaela Richard Whether they're helping students get to the right spot in the counseling center, or giving a tour to new students, this group of juniors· and seniors all devote their time to helping others. In it's fourth year of existence, the student ambassador program is quickly becoming well-known. "I feel like being a student ambassador is a good way for me to contribute to Northeast. I enjoy helping people out and everyone in the counseling center," said Senior Katie Coupens. Not just anyone can be an ambassador. There are many requirements and a very important selection process. All ambassadors must be a trained peer helper, be on honor roll at least one semester or be in the upper half of their class. They then have to go through an application process and be picked by Mrs. Peaslee and the rest of the counseling center. "Being a student ambassador is a lot of fun. You get to help out other people and really get to know the counseling staff. I'm glad I go't this opportunity my senior year, " commented Senior Sam Mertz.

Po.tHIIVG By Nicole Philippi Would you like working with underprivileged kids? If so Pershing Pals is the club for you. These select students have been through the Peer Helping class. They go to Pershing Elementary every other Thursday to spend quality time with their Pal. Students are paired up with a child and that is your pal throughout the year. With your pal you play games and get to know each other. But it's not as easy as it sounds. First, you have to be selected by your peers to be in a peer education class. In the class you learn how to conduct peer mediation, be a good listener, and in general, how to help others. By being in that class you become eligible to become a Pershing Pal. Every Peer Helper has a choice to participate, almost everyone chooses to request a Pal. "Pershing Pals makes you feel important to be able to change a child's life just by being their friend. I love to see the big smile on my Pershing Pal's face when I come to hang out with her," said Junior Jessica Sanchez.

'So\vlVl~ prob\e.»1-& \e. ft "Vlol rl~\,,tl By Mikaela Richard Solving others' problems isn't always the easiest thing to do, but that's exactly what this talented group of individuals does. In order to be a student mediator you have to be a senior and go through training, which leads you to patience,kindness, and determination. In a typical mediation, two mediators are called into the counseling center along with the students having difficulties. They all sit down and begin by introducing themselves. Next, the mediatbrs lay down the laws or "guidelines," followed by a confidentiaiity speech. Once the problem has been identified, each student has his or her chance to tell their side of the story. The mediators then repeat the stories to make sure they have everything in line and then help the students decide on a solution. In some cases a follow up meeting is suggested. Before they are on their way, each student, along with the mediators, must sign a confidentiality agreement. "I was a peer mediator in eighth grade, which gave me prior knowledge how a mediation was to be held," says Senior Malcolm Wade. "Being a mediator is a good way to know that you are helping others out."

By Grete en Larsen Membership in the National Hon or Society, a Northeast tradition for nearly 67 years, not only looks excellent on college applications, but provides a reason for students to get tog eth er and wor k toward the future. Meetings rota te around planning community service works, making Northeast a better learning environment, and get ting to know all 65 members. NHS President Tim Lehi talks abo ut the Academic Gro up as " ... a chance for students to give back to the community. At our meetings we plan our next volunteering opp ortu nity , and then participate in great organizations like the Breast Cancer Foundation , the Salvation Army, and Meals on Wheels."

To participate in NHS, stu ents must maintain a 3. GPA, have some volunteer experience, and then be evalL ated by a panel of teachers. Only 10 volunteer hours pe semester are required to remain .on ·NHS. " Although the screening process makes it seem difficu s nee to get in, as long as the student has the qualification _ essary, they should be accepted into NHS," said Lehi. Dur ing the meetings the gro up takes time fC?r fu activities. Making cards, thinking of new volunteer idea and even playing an occasional game of dodgeball ar all included. As long as the future is on our minds ar students are working hard, NHS will continue being or of Northeast's most imp orta nt clubs.. It's an opp ortu ni for determined students to work together.

By Lance Aksamit ACADEC, short for academic decathlon. 'It's the Olympics for the brain. To be good in an academic decathlon you have to know a little bit of everything. Stu.dents are tested on subjects ranging from Greek history to . pop culture. "It's super-awesome when you medal" said Senior Marit Donaldson, but to medal you have to read several massive books that contain the knowledge of the ages. To prepare for a tournament the students set up some buzzers and are asked a series of questions. The first one to buzz wins a point as long as they get the question right. During mock rounds they cover as many subjects as possible. Because of the amount of information covered in a tournament the studying that must take place in order to do well is astounding. It takes a lot of determination and hardwork. Many of the club members have been quoted as saying that their favorite part is the discussions they get into while practicing with each other. "We get into a lot of mock philosophical discussions, as well as a lot of real ones ... a lot of times it just ends with violence." joked Ellen Berggren. Many of the students in ACADEC are also in other clubs like Math club, Quiz Bowl, or NHS. These kids tear apart the stereotype that teenagers are lazy, slacking, no-good, trouble makers. And many of them are likely to end up as tomorrow' s top minds.

" We 're not just pretty, we're pretty good" By Sam Posipsil Even with only 15 members on the LNE speech team, at least one person brought home a trophy or one medal each tournament. There are four returning senior state qualifiers, Alison Nickalous, Lisa Leidig , Rachel T obkin , and Heather Mort on. The Speech team 's goal is to bring as many people to districts as possible so they can bring people to state. By the end of first semester the team had participated in eight tournaments and planned on six more, plus districts and state. They hosted a tournament on Jan. 28. Speech team meets to prepare for their performances after school. According to the team, Ms. Sarah Skean, the sponsor, played an important role. She dedicated a lot of her time to the team. "Speech team is a great opportu nity to become more self-confident, articulate, and to become a more critical thinker, " said Skean. The types of speeches that the team has prepared and practiced are informative, entertainment, humorous interpretation, extem poraneous, and impromtu. The team has also done an outstanding job on

pursu home medals. "Speech team is a good place for people who aren't embarrassed challenge themto be smart and to _ selves mentally. The Debate Team has had numerous quarter-semi and champion medal winners this year. Mr. Reiners believes this could be one of the best teams in recent years and looked forward in competing in

state an Nationa competition t is spring. The students had competed ir the Lincoln Douglas Debate, Public Form, and Student Congress. Briar Stevens, a returning NFL qualifier in Congress tried to succeed agair for his second time around. "Gary Reiners is the coolest person in the entire world." "I love working with him even though he has a big head. " said Senior Brian Stevens.

"All we can do is teach acceptance to those who will listen." By Rachel Leitt GLBTSA is a group that works to break down stereotypes and prejadices in our school and communities. They work very hard to create a safe space for all students to feel comfortable. As in all schools, people are always cruel to each other. GLBTSA encourages acceptance. With a goal to break down barriers, the biggest misconception of this club 1s that it's only for "gay" kids. In fact, this group is for anyone willing and with an open mind. It's 'the more the merrier' when it comes to having people to share thoughts and ideas with. Weekly meetings usually have 10 to 20 members attending. They're casual and laid-back as they talk about issues relevent in the school and issues that affect gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students. Sometimes they watch videos or do activities that further educate about GLBT issues. The favorite part of meetings is the discussion. "Learning about others and the issues they face is always interesting," said Senior Brady Usher. Discussion allows members to explain how they feel on topics and gain to support to stand up for what's right.

By Tim Lehi The Federal Reserve Challenge consists of a group of students who spend their lunch-times, afternoons, and Sunday evening~ preparing a presentation to give at the Federal Reserve Bank in Omaha. "The students give a presentation about what the Federal Reserve should do with the interest rates," said sponsor Carol Mathias. The competition requires students to know a lot about t ~·~ economy, and especially how Federal Reserve decisions can affect our country. Senior Dane Sowder added, "It seems like a lot of boring work, but it's actually a lot of fun. Mrs. Mathias does a great job of making it worth all the effort. " The team has fin ished in third place in the state competition in both of the last two years and this year they hope to win at the state level and make it to regionals in Kansas City, and maybe ever nationals in Washington D.C. There are five members of the team that actually give the presentation , but ther e are many more who work behind the scenes to help perfect the performance and will even serve as a replacement to one of the fiv ~ if something should happen. Senior Rachel Leitt said, "It's a really great competition , it's fun to pretend like you have the power to control the entire economy '

By Hannah Leitt The Asian Caucus is a group of about 25 students who all want to either represent or learn more about Asian culture. "We try to get other ethnicities to join. Most people think that just because it's Asian Club it's exclusively for Asians and it's not," stated Senior President Khoa Chu. The group usually meets about once or twice a month, depending on activities that need to be organized or discussed. They do things such as community service activities and also celebrate Vietnamese New Year, an important holiday in Vietnamese culture. To celebrate the Vietnamese holiday, members of the group make traditional Asian food and distribute it to staff. For fund-raising, the group sells candy and also sells homemade egg rolls made by members of the group. Using the money they make from fund-raising, the caucus holds an end-of-the-year party to celebrate their accomplishments. Not only is the group involved with Northeast, they also work with students of different schools to organize large activities such as the "New Year Shakedown," a dance that they have been holding for three years.

Editor Rachel Leitt gives strict instructions to sports writer,Junior Hannah Leitt during class.

By A y Ma man Its not the destintation .. .it' s the journey. That is the theme for our yearbook his year. The Rocket is in it's 65th year of publication. "Every year we try to make the yearbook just that much better than the year before," commented Junior Sports Staff Writer Hannah Leitt. • With a new editor and only five staff members back from last year, the Rocket staff had a lot to learn. Editor Rachel Leitt worked extremely hard during the summer o get everything ready for the new school ear. " Being editor is a huge responsibility and takes a lot of time because you have to oversee everything, but all the hard . work pays off in the end," added Leitt. With all new computer programs and an all color book this year, the yearbook staff had a lot to look forward to and just as much to learn.

"Learning how to use the computer programs was a difficult task but the outcome from it was amazing." said Senior Sam Allemang. The yearbook class is taught by Susan Helmink, who is in her second year at Lincoln Northeast. "Mrs. Helmink is a great advisor and has taught us so much about the importance of capturing the greatest moments of a high school year," said Leitt.

By Gretchen Larsen The Newspaper staff has always had a basic, simple goal. To give the news in the most efficient and reasonable way. This year, however, the newspaper is becoming something more. "We're trying to change the newspaper to focus more on design. After getting criticisms from outside sources, we decided it was time to change the way we do design in our layouts," said Editor Caitlin Mentzer. After receiving previously edited newspapers from last year, Mentzer and the rest of the staff figured it was time to make a change. They attended Adobe Photoshop classes, learned more about the best ways to give the news, and discovered a few new design techniques as well. Mentzer said she knew it was time to do

something new when students rom other schoolswere giving ideas for improvement. Fortunately, the staff was just as enthusiastic as Mentzer in recreating the Northeast Newspaper. "Only two people on our staff have_ been on newspaper for a whole year. I wasn't sure at first but I've found that with this group of new people, we actually sit down and get to work immediately. It's really weird!" said Mentzer. It's fortunate that the staff is so hardworking, because this year's goal or the Northeastern has been to create 11 editions. That means an edition every three weeks, and something that a Northeastern staff has never done before. But, if there's one staff that can handle it, it's ours. An important part of the paper is to raise questions; not necessarily create controversy, but to help students to develop opinions based on information given from reliable sources. An article published in the December newspaper questions the school on their acknowledgement of the first amendment, as ar as student rights are concerned. The newspaper has been and will continue to be a source from which students can learn about news from within Northeast, and on the outside of it.

Multi-Cultural club gives students an opportunity to le :rn about other countries and their culture, as well as their o, tn. Meeting regularly, this club gets together to celebrate its di\ ~rsity. They share experiences with each other and learn about e world. The club also brings in speakers to talk about their Ii ·es and provide knowledge. Multi-Cultural club is run by a group of dedicated Northe 1st students. Sophomore Amal Hamdan is the club's president, , 1d he works hard planning meetings and speakers. The vice pr sident of the club is Sophomore Thu Tran. They both put in a ot of time and effort to see their club succeed. Multi-Cultural c Jb is a chance for students to learn about the entire world anc its cultures without leaving Northeast. Multi-Cultural club is sponsored by Mrs. Kreimer.

By Adrianna Koepping Have you ever wanted to talk to your friends during class without getting caught? It will probably never happen when you're .using your voice. These kids have a special ability to communicate silently, it's called signlanguage. Sign-language club is where you come, hang out with your friends, and learn a new way to talk, with your hands. "It's a good way to learn something new," Freshman Hily Brooks said. "Sign-language will help people if they ever have to to work with a deaf person, if you want to be friends with someone who is hard of hearing, or if you want to be a translator." Hily plans to have sign-language club for the rest of her high school career. "We want to teach kids how to speak fluently." It's something fun, beneficial, and this form of speaking is something you can use for the rest of your life.

By Billie Cole Northeast students have a wide variety of history classes to choose from. ~Geography students can tell you all about the seven continents while US History students know the affects of the Great Depression. Executions are a popular subject for seniors in Citizen Issues. "Mrs. ~aden's AP World History class was hard, but I learned a lot." agreed all of the sophomores in her class. Making maps and working on projects are a great way the history classes learn about the past. Many people think of history as boring, but at Northeast the students learn about how yesterday affects today, and they have fun doing it too! obs

By: Devin Neil Do you know what makes up your DNA? Or what an atom is? Or even the different elements there are in the periodic table? By the time Northeast students graduate and are done with their high school careers they will know the answer to all of these questions. The Northeast Science Department is made up of seven different classes: Earth Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy, and Sociology. Fortunately, all are taught by well the educated science staff we are so lucky to have •here at Northeast.

"My favorite part of science is getting to do all the hands on experiments," said Junior Jesse Jones of Mr. Soucie's first period Chemistry class. The science classes teach students a different variety of things about science skills that a lot of students can use in their future. "The teachers are fun and we get to do a lot of cool experiments to help us learn the curriculum" said Sophomore Trevor Taylor.

Seems like yesterday when we brought you home from the hospital, but made a stop at the mall to show you off. Maybe that's why it's your second home. Seems like yesterday when dad took you up to Kahoa to peek through the windows. Maybe thats why you did so good in school. Seems like yesterday you were sucking wind after going on a run with dad. Maybe that's why you've accomplished so much in sports. Seems like yesterday we told you to go clean your room! Oh wait .. That was yesterday. 3 out of 4 is pretty good. Congratulations on all your accomplishments. We're so proud of you! Love,Mom & Dad

Philosophers claim that change is goo d for the soul. If that 's the case, we are full of soul. The changes have been positive -- thanks in part to our editors. At first we didn 't know if our new room upstairs would have the same warm th and charm of Old Room 108. We soon foun d out that our new room didn 't lack warmth , even in the fall and spring. With temperatures often above 80 degrees, we welcomed having windows to open . But we gained a larger, more "educationally friendly" space to hold the 20 new Mac computers we needed to do our jobs. Updated software, more cameras, a new printer, new cubbies, and a scanner helped make the process of putt ing toge ther a newspaper and year boo k much more enjoyable. You met new challenges with grace and laughter and welcomed new staf f members who added their creative style. Thro ugh it all our editors set high standards for publications excellence and didn 't accept mediocre results. You taug ht staff members how to wor k toge ther to achieve a com mon goal, and stood you r grou nd on imp orta nt issues. Even thou gh there were some unwelcome changes, you made the best of the situation and moved on. We didn 't always agree, but we foun d com mon grou nd. Thank you for making my second year a memorable one. It has been a pleasure to get to know you and to wor k with you -- not just as students, but as professionals in the field of journalism. You have give n me wonderful memories that I will cherish. I kno w you will achieve grea tness in you r chosen fields. You're the GREATEST! Mrs. H
