The Luminaries were bags filled with sand for a firm foundation, and a candle to light the way. Alone a luminary could not light a path, buttogetherthe hundreds of luminaries light the way for the walkers. The senior leadership these two National Honor Society members brought to the relay in June was brought back to the school that August. Take a closer look into LC and you will see upperclassmen helping the underclassmen find what lights their passion, so one day they too will be able to lead the school.

But then August 16th rolls around and students purchase all the new state-ofthe-art school supplies; the 200 pack of pens, the new 15 subject notebooks all crammed into the new humongous backpack that could go on a camping trip, but will hopefully last at least until the end of the first trimester. Somehow, students get to school and realize that they actually did miss this place during those three months of heaven called summer break. Students manage to keep track of their schedule that they received in the mail and most people make it to their first class without any major injuries from all of those friends they didn't see much this summer violently hugging and screaming how much they missed each other, and "let's hang out." Luckily, all of these hugging festivities take place around noon as opposed to the freshman who had to wake up at five o'clock and come to school at a normal time and get the pleasure of going through their classes TWICE! During that first day, students are verbally assaulted constantly with the student handbook rules and regulations until their ears start to bleed. But after that first week of getting comfortable waking up at 6 A.M. and taking those awesome pre-tests, everyone starts enjoying the new routine. The plans get made for that football game coming up on Friday with old friends and possibly some new ones. All-in-all people seem to start out depressed and worried about school but then they realize that they do miss this place and can't seem to wait to see what the next day brings (even though they secretly look forward to the weekends). But, looking at the grand scheme of things, what a better place to hang out with friends than at school where you see your very best friends (and even learn something new) every single day. If you take a closer look into the lunch room you would see that the Lunch Ladies love to give students the food they need t o help keep up their energy t o get through the day.

Photo By: John Petri Take A (Closer Look) Many times as students people are quick to judge a book by its cover; but if you take a closer look you'll see that at LC there is a lot more to the Titans than meets the eye. The seniors are amazing people; hardworking, dedicated role models for the upcoming classes. The seniors are knowledgeable on how high school works. Unlike your typical upperclassmen they're friendly, and very helpful. Many students of the graduating class have already started their careers, taken college courses, and some graduated early. Taking notes off the seniors, the juniors are another skilled group of people. With only three years under their belt, they have just started to get a grip. College visits and a few college courses, applications for scholarships and preparing for the ACT keep them busy. Some also manage to graduate early. The sophomore class has just gotten their feet wet. By this time they've realized that there is more to high school than freedom and fun . Many people in their class have begun to take the ACT, some apply for scholarships, and form solid goals for the future. Freshmen! It's the very beginning of their high school years, and boy what a transition it has been. The people in this class, like all the other classes, vary. Many students are on the ball and some still trying to find their way, and with the help they'll be sure to get there. As people they are different, but as Titans they all bleed blue. In the end they stick together and whether you're "top dog" or just a "f[eshy" Titans have each other's back. If you take a closer a look, you'll see the passion, hunger, and skill they all posses that makes them stronger, wiser, and nevertheless a Titan. ~ New principal ,he par ing lot "We've had 2.160 days of schoor together up to graduation. but we've tnade a tnillion rnernories ...

There are certain moments that can never be forgotten . Homecomings will come and go, but who could ever forget the entire school dancing to The Cha Cha Slide at Coronation, or going outside on nice spring days during lunch to play hackey sack with friends? Looking back at high school reunions, Titan Rumble will still be stuck in heads, and Titans will still be yelling their Battle Cry. Even outside of school, students create memories. They will tell their children exactly how many hours a day they spent on facebook, while uttering the dreaded phrase, "When I was your age ... " Memories of stage fright at Mr. LC and the best location for lunch on early out Wednesdays are firmly embedded in the brain. In and out of school student life is not just sitting in a class, counting the ceiling tiles, while waiting for a bell to ring. Student life is leaving a legacy for those who come after you. It's spending time with old friends, while making new ones. It's the inside jokes and crazy times, the drama and tripping down the stairs, first days and finals. But most of all, student life is something each Titan will remember forever. @fl (/@ Of LC Kids F articipate in Activities Exit sigt1s in l l Ju11ior Kyle Herren is looking over brochure facts.

Photo By: John Petri Remember when little kids used to tie foam cups together and pretend to talk to each other through them? A lot has changed since then, because of technology. Today, instead of tying cups together, house phones and cell phones are used to talk with each other. Cell phones could only be used to talk to someone else orally, but now they can be used to send text messages and picture messages too. Text messages are now so popular that the number of text messages sent and received each day exceeds the population of the planet. When a survey was given at the school three outoffour students said that they would rather text someone than call them. Not only do people use phones to talk to each other; they use technology called the internet. Two of the more popular sites used to talk with each other are Facebook and MySpace. Teenagers use these because there are over 100 million registered users of MySpace, and it is possible to talk to anyone who has a MySpace, even someone who lives on the other side of the world. One of the other commonly used internet sites is Facebook. This is a more generic site compared to MySpace. In our school there is a trend where MySpace is mostly used by freshmen and sophomores , whereas juniors and seniors like Facebook better. Both of these sites can be personalized, complete with pictures and information about the person. On the page are all of the person's friends and the comments they leave them. On Facebook these comments are put on what is called a wall. Facebook also has groups which can be made up and joined. If the world went from foam cups and string to cell phones and the internet, we can't help but wonder what will be used to communicate in 20 years.

However, one person who can is Steve Padilla. "Just to see Steve impact young lives for the good was one of the best experiences I have had with him .. . Coach Padilla always had a 'knack' for working with all types of students," said Pat Campbell. Mr. Padilla has been at here for 34 years. Padilla put in 28 years coaching, including 23 years as the head football coach. After 124 victories, he retired from coaching in 2000 to become the Activities Director for the last six years. Joe Ankenbauer said, "He has been a valuable asset to the school all the time he has been here, and it's sad to see him leave." During his coaching years his teams made it to the playoffs in 1986, 1991, 1996, and 1997. A reason he was so successful in his career as a coach was because all of his colleagues and athletes respected him. "He could relate to the trials and tribulation of coaching. He was a head coach who trusted his assistants with responsibility and as long as we got positive results he stood clear. He taught me there are different ways to get the job done and done well and that my way is not always the best way," said Mr. Campbell. Steve Padilla earned many awards throughout the years. In 2002, Mr. Padilla earned the 01 m ic Torch. He was also inducted in the Iowa Football Coaches Hall of Fame. These awards are not given to just ordinary people Padilla really knew how to impact the lives of kids and how to coach them "I was never in 1t or th awards, I was in it for the kids and to help them be the b st th could be ... one of my proudest coaching moments was back when we traveled to Harlan for a game and beat th m r to zero at their Homecoming game," said Padilla. Even when he wasn't coaching, he still made a d fference in the daily lives of many students. Junior Al Thramer said, 'He has always been a great role model for me and 1t has be n a privilege to know him. We are losing one of the best Act1v1t s Directors this school has ever had." His personal secretary and long time friend, Cindy Brock man commented, "He is a joy to work with, he makes work fun Although, I will miss him, I wish him well, now he will get to I his Harley and play golf." There is not one person who won't miss Steve Padilla Chr Hanafan said, "It's going to be a great loss to our cho I d tri he has put in a lot of hard work over the years he h s be h and he has helped to build a strong foundation. Although Padilla retired he plans to v1 t L wl frequently and come to almost all of the g mes T great, the community is great an th1 h b to work ... it has been a perfect f1 r th Mr. Padilla. SfOIZ.V &V: FELISHA MOORE ~1'r·~·~ "My favorite thing about Lewis Central was the ktd and the staff. My t memories came from State Championships, ncerts, plays, and Mr. tory doing the Electric Sltde. I'm going to miss the relationships that I've built over the years with staff members and parents." -Rose Jones Associate Principal Wilf/a7116'~2i~f i ilt)E!~ Teacher, coach, and friend. Dan Steger says goodbye to his final year at Lewis Central. "I have been working with young people my whole life and it helps you stay feeling young, not being around them will be a very big change," says Steger. Mr. Steger started his teaching career thirty four years ago. He was an accounting major who not only taught accounting but also brought Advance Accounting to Lewis Central. In addition, to those two classes Steger also taught Consumer Survival Skills, a required course, and Business Law. "Steger's a great guy, he's fluent in his teaching, and is always there for you when you need help," said junior Eddie Nooner. Not only was he a teacher, Mr. Steger was also a coach. He was with the wrestling team for numerous years. Another sport that was important to him was girls tennis, and he was the coach for twenty two years. During his time Steger led the tennis team to three Hawkeye Ten championships. "I love to see students excited about what they have accomplished. A lot of times you don't see that in the classroom, that is why I loved coaching. All of the Hawkeye Ten championships that we won will be memories that will stay with me forever," says Steger. A good work ethic and the will to get things done in both his teaching and coaching are two good things that he believed that he brought with him when he came to Lewis Central. Along with that he formed many relationships while teaching. A friend for teachers and someone to come to for help when students needed him. ''One thing I loved was playing Mr. Steger in Fantasy Baseball. I liked him better when he didn't have a good team, but most of the time he had a good team:· says teacher Joe Ankenbaur. At the end of the year Mr. Steger leaves this school with the knowledge that he has taught and the coaching that he has contributed. He leaves friends and students, but he takes with him memories that will never be forgotten. "My favorite thing about Mrs. Sievers is that she picks up on how we feel. One day, she let us spend an hour writing about the stress in our lives. She really cares about us as individuals." -junior Kristen Schweer "I really like her because she helped me escape my straight tone singing." -junior Rachel Schultz "I really like Mr. Nelson because he has conversations with the students, and it sometimes seems like he is one of us. Mr. Nelson always has a good attitude and a great sense of humor!" -sophomore Erica Shockey "Mr. Nelson is a pretty cool guy. He's someone you can really relate to." -freshman Ryan Goeser "My favorite thing about Lewis Central was probably homecoming week because I liked how both the students and the teachers got involved. I'm really going to miss the teachers. They were really helpful for my first year. I will also miss seeing the students all the time." -Rachel Hack Science Department (74) Taking a close1- look at LC y ou will find many students, like senior Justin Carlson, that are very invo lved in the sports programs.

Whether you are a fan , parent, coach, or athlete, everyone bands together at Lewis Central and bleeds blue. Sport's seasons have been great in the past, but this time around we have dominated in all of them. With their outstanding record, this year's football season has been an unforgettable one. Girls' volleyball made it far in districts. Girls' basketball's only full squad loss came to the State Champions. Many track meet records have been met and broken by both the girls and boys teams. State tournaments got to see the Titans play their best in girls swimming, wrestling, cross country, and track. One Titan athlete who shined above the rest is senior Jimmy Waters. Waters dominated on three fields, football , wrestling , and baseball. Although Waters is an All-State football player, and a three time state wrestling champion he has chosen to go on and play baseball at Kansas, a Division One University. "Jimmy is an amazing athlete. He has God given talent, yet he still works his tail off to be the best he can ," said Coach Hanafan. All sorts of fans followed the athletes to each event no matter how far they had to travel. Throughout the football season, senior mom's formed a pep bus that went to all of the away games. Buying tattoos, balloons, and pompoms from the student council was the beginning of a new tradition. These sports have come to an end, but if one takes a closer look you will see some amazing moments for these Titan athletes . ......... t This! ~ ~~1 Act ivit,y Ticket,s Sold Coaches .... ~fj F ages in t,he Handbook Hon1e Gan1es Foot-ball Garnes Us Them Us TI1em Red Oak 4 3 0 11 Red Oak 7 2 Manning 12 0 Woodbine 12 3 St.Albert 13 2 11 St.Albert 4 2 Denison 12 0 9 6 Carroll Kuemper 0 2 1 15 Atlantic 1 5 1 6 Harlan 1 6 0 1 Glenwood 3 7 4 8 Missouri Valley 0 5 Shenandoah 6 2 8 Shenandoah 11 1 Stanton 3 1 Thomas Jefferson 9 0 3 West Harrison 5 2 Riverside 11 Sioux City North 1 12 Clarinda 5 6 2 Central Dewitt 1 4 Van Meter 2 6 Panorama 6 0 Creston 4 7 4 3 Carroll 3 0 Cherokee 3 7 Lema rs 7 6 South Page 12 1 Abraham Lincoln 1 0 Looking back over her I season, senior April Cooper had much to be proud of. April was selected for the All-Conference and All-City softball teams. "I really had a lot of fun this I year. No one had confidence in our team and we were basically overlooked. It was nice to prove people wrong. I I'm going to miss all my girls, the sisters I never had and came to love." I omstaywithmeallthat team spent long hours at practice team er very own "Devil Story." The night after hearing the scary story, Kristin had got in her car and couldn't help but think there was a Devil on her c r. She swerved tot y and get him ofl he even had heF mom walk her into the house. To top that off, she went into the kitchen and ended up finding devil cake in the cupboard. "I was so scared after hearing that because Kristin refused to sleep. We finally gave up around 4 a.m." Besides the late night scary stories, there were late nights spent on the field. The softball earn defeated Abraham Lir:icoln in a 15-inning game that lasted until almost midnight. With one hit, they had scored another victory. Beginning with a new coach, the With many different positions on tile field, freshman Kristin Waters is usually found pitching. Kristin was selected for the All-City softball team.

The Titan softball team had many outstanding players this year who made honor teams including All-Conference, All-City, and All Southwest Iowa. The players selected included senior April Cooper, junior Rachel Boardman , junior Lindsey Toole, freshman Kristin Waters, and 8th grader Brittnie Kreiser. Coming to an end, the girls tied the school's record with 59 Team Doubles. Their final record for the season was 24-18. The team had (toYW9i2~e) It's game time. Batting and fielding nament. In a close game against practice are over. The team jogs off the field to the dugout. Every player can feel sweat condensing under their hats. The nervousness of every player intensifies by the second. Then the team gathers around for a pre-game joke. "Before games, the guys told the team joke of the day. It was usually inappropriate, but it kept us loose and lightened the mood," said junior Jimmy Waters. Some of the weight was lifted and everyone relaxed. Besides the pregame humor, the team used other tactics to help keep the stress out of the game. One method was as easy as paying attention to officials. "We had a goofy umpire at one game. It took him 5 seconds to call a strike after a pitch. By then, you'd look at him like what the heck?" said junior Ryan Whittington. Even though they had fun, the team still got down to business and focused on the game. With a team record of 29-10, they finished second in the Hawkeye Ten Conference. Returning from a state trip in 2005, the Titans were just a game away from going back to the tourWest Des Moines Valley, the state champs, the team gave an impressive performance. They were ahead more than once during the game, but Valley came out on top. "Hanging with West Des Moines Valley in the last semi-state game was the defining moment of the season. As a whole team, we started off not knowing who our captains were and played just as players. Halfway through, the captains stepped up. We started to play together as a team," said junior Mitch Kohl. With a successful season under their belts, the players still remember the poker parties, team jokes, and weekend trips for tournaments. "In Marshalltown, the whole team had a Super Nintendo tournament. It was an old basketball game and someone made a three pointer at the buzzer to win. It was intense," said junior Nate Kleckner. While varsity will miss the eight seniors they lost, Tyler Drvol , Will Exley, Chad Gubbels, Travis Hitchcock, Brandon Jacoba, Luke Stamp and Mike Stamp, they still have seven players coming back for more in 2007. SAFE! With a head first slide, another run is brought in for the Titans. The team scored a whopping 322 points against opposing teams this season.

Friends meet in the hallway and make plans for the big game verses Denison. It's the team's first home game and people don't expect as much as they remember the beating Denison gave LC last year, but the fans go to the game anyway. As the fans arrive, they sense something is different tonight, but they can't put their finger on it. The stands fill up as the team warms up. Once again, the fans sense something different but still can't figure it out. The team goes away, the band performs and lines up fo r the tunnel. The excitement builds and that feeling comes back again. The team takes the field in dramatic fashion and that feeling is back more than ever and everyone is d ing to figure it out. The game finally starts and we pop-out an early 14-0 lead and that's when it hits. This team wants it more than the other team, playing with more heart than the fans have ever seen an LC team play with and they witness the kill of the Monarchs by 41 -0. That is how most of the season went for the Titans, they played with more heart. This year LC had a 7-2 record just barely missing a playoff birth. "That hurt pretty bad after the Carroll game, after trying so hard all season and to come up just short," said junior Logan Mundt. The guys did have a lot of great moments too. "Beating Glenwood and Saint Albert was awesome, you never want to lose to those guys." said sophomore Dan Hayes. "My favorite had to of been the Denison game, after they beat us last year, beating the crap out of them 41-0 was a great feeling," said senior Cody Housley. Even with a bittersweet season the boys were happy with a 7-2 record.

This season the crowd supported the varsity volleyball team by wearing personalized player shirts. Visible from afar, these hot pink shirts brightened up the stands They were worn by fans of all sizes, from friends to parents and boyfriends to teachers. Even big bad football players squeezed into the girlie shirts to show their Titan pride. It was a creative and fun way to show off school spirit and support the team. Photo By: Amber Barr "We are the Titans! The mighty, mighty Titans!" As the halls explode with the cheers of the volleyball team, the anticipation in the crowd grows. Excitement erupts when the girls finally take the floor. With four returning starters, the Titans were a force to be afraid of. The gir s got off to a great start by winning their first four games. The team's success continued, and the Titan's ended the Hawkeye 10 season 7-2. Much of their success was a result of their team unity. "Everyone really gets along this year, and it shows on the court," junior Allie Frost explained. Senior Bonnie South agreed, 'This season was definitely the most fun. All of us are just weird. We're loud and obnoxious, and we always know how to have a good time." Some of their fun came with their pre-game rituals, which included team dinners and present exchanges. The most exciting event was the annual T.P.ing of Coach South's house. "The varsity girls have T.P.ed my house for the last five year$ It was fun getting to T.P. my own house, and the best part was that I didn't have to clean up any of it," laughed Bonnie. When it got down to business, the Titans were ready to bring their A-game. After an outstanding season, the Titans ended strong with a 3-0 victory against Des Moines Roosevelt in districts and losing a close game against Ankeny. Junior Rachelle Osborn said, "We had great seniors this year. They brought great leadership, and we are definitely going to miss them." "This year really made me realize how much I love my teammates. In every sport, we grow so close, and I always took it for granted," explained senior Karrie Hansen. The girls will always remember the great times they had on and off the court.

The new year seemed promising at the start of the se a s on w h en t he varsity girls placed three runners in the top 20 and the boys placed four runners in the top 20 at the Abraham Lincoln Invitational. Dan Hall ended up winn ing the race, b reaking a slump in which no LC male c ross count ry runner had won a ra ce since Hall 's ne xt door neighbor, Alan Feeney, did it in 1986. As t he se a son we nt on the team met a slew of injur ies t hat th ey we re b oggled down wi th and just couldn 't seem to shake. Senior run n e rs B r ad Boga rdus, Cory Jasek, Hila ry Sadler, and Dan Hall all had roller coaster seaso ns. The g irls team tended to stay pretty steady for the ma jority of the season. Hi lary Sad l er led t he way with Jennifer Ha ll, S h e lby Eli s ion, and Ariel le Huber rema ining at the top of the girls squad. (84) Sadler and Hall managed to take 1 4th and 15th place at the Ha wkeye 10 Conference Meet. Sadler couldn't manage to qualify for the state meet this ye ar because of injuries, but will look forward to returning her senior year. With the seniors boys ·hot being able to contr ibute on a consistent basis underclassman Nate Black and Taylor May stepped up and play ed a large roll on this year 's team and will continue to do so in the coming seasons. Both of them were able to finish with Hall in the top twenty at the Hawkeye 1 O Confer ence Meet. By the end of the year ev eryone was still not able to remain healthy and the boys failed to qualify for sta t e. Bogardus and Hall met the bitter end of their careers at their home cour se. Keeping in mind that the boys h ad not performed their be st this year, they will continue to work hard to make a run a state in tra ck. 2006 had its highs and i ts l ows, b ut li ke eve ry season the t e am had a good time doing it.

OK, so maybe it's not so fine, maybe it's freezing cold because the water heater is seemingly never on. But that doesn't slow them down in meets. The LC swim teams, both boys and girls, did excellent this year. "The hardest part about swimming was that I knew it was my last year at LC", senior Chris Williams proclaims. It probably isn't much easier for girls swim team seniors, all of whom were equally sad to be swimming for the last year at LC. However, not all is sad and bad. Williams is on his way to the University of South Dakota on a bid to be on their swim team. It takes a lot of dedication to be on the swim team, however; as it's one of LC's hardest sports. Coach Bruce Schomburg really pushes the swimmers, having them do lap after lap of the pool to build up stamina and endurance. Even the shorter races require a lot of dexterity, as pulling your body as fast as you can against the water can be a physically trying matter. In the end though , for them it's worth it.

(We're crazy in silver, crazy in blue) I State Hip Hop and State Porn were both choreographed by members of the team this year, while State Jazz was done by Rosie Torres for the second year in row. This was the first time in five years that they have placed third in all of their dances. During the dance team season, a lot goes on. Besides all the football performances, State Competition, and basketball/ wrestling performances, six girls are chosen to audition for the All-Iowa Honors dance team. Tryouts were held in September where the girls travelled to Ames, Iowa. This year they had all six available spots filled. Seniors Amber Barr, Jessica Dappen, Molly Hansen, Megan Heckerman, Cassie Paulson, and Anna Schutte all took the four-hour trip to audition for the team. "The ride seemed to take forever, but I listened to my lpod and slept to pass the time," said senior Megan Heckerman. Theirdayhadjust begun, when they were immediately put into columns by the numbers given to them. It was very important that every girl was in the right place because they would be auditioning in that order later that afternoon. After all 520 girls were lined up properly, they were divided into two groups, one kick and one porn . Once they had learned the first dance it was time to switch and learn a completely new dance. "It's difficult to change from one to the other so quickly but in order to learn and perfect both you have to learn fast-paced," said senior Anna Schutte. The day seemed to fly by and it was time to audition. "This is the longest part," said senior Cassie Paulson, "you are so worried that you wi II forget the dances, so you keep running them over and over." With 520 girls trying out for only 275 spots, everyone stayed focused and tried their best. They did not find out that day they were on the team. Three months later Coach Deb Stephenson received a letter saying that all six girls made it and would perform kick at the halftime of the girls state basketball finals. This was exciting since last year they danced live with country singer Sawyer Brown! The girls looked forward to seeing what the year entailed; two more members, sen.iors Christine Webering and Sara Triplett, joined in the half-time show on March 10, 2007 attheWells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.

They started out the year with eight girls of the varsity squad and ended the year with fourteen girls. Despite the ever changing numbers these girls managed to play as a team. The girls are tied for the best win/loss record in LC history with a record of 22-2. They also hold the best defensive average of 33.8, which means they held all of their opponents to an average of 33.8 points or less per game. Both of these team records helped the Titans win the Hawkeye 10 Conference. Along with all of the broken records and team awards if you take a closer look into this squad, you' 11 see they had some fun team-bonding moments. "One of my favorite moments this season was when we had our team sleepover and we tee-peed the coaches' houses," said senior Taylor Hastings. Every season the varsity squad gets together at a seniors house. This year, they hung out, ate some pizza, and chilled for a few hours. They even watched seniors Gracie Thornton and Diana Mescher try to wrestle. Around eleven o'clock the girls all changed into black clothes, piled into two cars, and drove off to Wal-Mart. In the store, looking very suspicious, the girls made their way to the toilet paper aisle. They looked at all the different brands and sizes of toilet paper and tried to figure out which kind will work the best. Once they found the toilet paper they moved on to the shaving cream aisle. With all of their supplies in hand they headed off to Coach Frascht's house. "I love to tee-pee Frasch! because he is such a neat-freak and he is so big on recycling," said senior Jill Flores. Next the girls moved on to Coach Nauman and Coach Paulson 's houses.These to guys were volunteer coaches for the girls. They put in just as much time as Coach Hanafan, and get paid nothing for all of their hard work. "Nauman and Paulson are the best! They are full of information and they are just so much fun to have a practice," said senior Diana Mescher. After the girls properly covered all of the other coaches, the made their last stop at Coach Hanafan's house. They always hit Hanafan's house the hardest. "We used twice as much toilet paper and twice as much shredded paper on Hanafan's. It was great," said senior Gracie Thornton. The girls loved to do this annual activity as a team bonding event. The coaches hated cleaning up the mess, but they knew that it was all done because the girls really like them , and love to bond with each other. This season was a huge success for the girls. They were city champs, Hawkeye 10 champs, and they were one game away from the state tournament, losing to the state champions. All in all it was a great season. - - -..- ~-..... _,,..

It's been gr-eat watching you grow and turn in to great leadei-s." - Coach frascht Take it (To the Hoop) LC Basketball things took a different shape when it seemed as if juniors reigned supreme. Starting juniors Keenan Lindsey and the Perez brothers all had tremendous contributions this season. "Having those juniors step into these major scoring roles helped out a lot," said head coach Dan Miller. "But those seniors being team players and letting some juniors take some roles helped a lot too. We couldn't have done it without those seniors." The Titans did reach some high goals this season, with 15 wins, having a regular season record of 16-5 and beating in city rivals St. Albert and T.J. , giving them part of the mythical city championship. "Winning that city championship is great, that's something you always want to accomplish during your season and sometimes makes the season a success in a way," said junior Keenan Lindsey. This season was definitely a success for the Titans, but atthe seasons end everyone admits that losing nine seniors and the famed basketball manager Jaclyn Erickson will hurt. "All of the seniors were great competitors whether in practice or games. They were always there with a lot of effort," said Coach Miller. With an overall record of 17- 6 the Titan basketball program continues to take big strides in achieving that ever so elusive, but almost in reach goal of punching their tickets to the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines for that state championship, and with all this returning talent, that dream continues to look more like a reality.

The Iowa State Wrestling Tournament is held in Des Moines every year. Lewis Central has a long running tradition of excellence, and this year was no ditterent. As a developing team, three have great ambition. For example senior Jimmy Waters competed at state with strep throat and bronchitis.

Higgins was the only sophomore to make it to state in the district. Both tried new things to get ready for state. "I'm sad I can't go anymore, but it will be nice running the last time in high school before I have to start racing the fastest in the country," said Besco. To get ready for state he worked hard at practice and then even more on his own. Higgins, qualifying for discus, slowed down to fix the problems in his technique. "I did what I had to do to get it done." While Higgins scratched on diskus, Besco finished 9th in both the 100 and 400. Whether you were the senior or the sophomore, they both made the school proud. State Qualifier senior Jordan Besco finishes oH his run with a strong lead. "What keeps me going and motivates me during a race is my strong will to win," he claims.

With a team fu 11 of seniors we got along great and had a good time. '' -Jaclyn Erickson Girt~ An appropriate response when asked about the Lewis Central tennis teams this year, could be summed up with the word "different." The boys and girls teams set their goals differently, went into meets differently, and came out of meets with very different results. Only three of the nine players out for the boys team were returning players from last season. This included top seeded Anthony Garlough , number two seed Alex Noecker, and third seeded Michael Lively. Inexperience was the downfall, but this didn't bother the team. The team accepted their losses and made the best out of their situation and were proud of their accomplishments. On the girls' side, all six varsity spots were filled by talented returning seniors including top seeded Jaclyn Erickson, I I Glenwood Atlantic Red Oak Harlan Kuemper Denison Shenandoah Clarinda 1st Round Regional vs. T J Districts State Atlantic Tourney Hawk 1 O Cont.

The season was only one loss from having a perfect season, which came from a Red Oak team. However, their reign as city champs remains for the fourth season in a row. This season maked a greatfouryears for seniors Jill Flores and Cortny Knoble. "My best moment of this year was when Meggie and I played a Harlan team in doubles and beat them in three sets," said Cortny. Jill described her last four years being a huge improvement in her game, "As a freshman , I could barely get the ball over the net. I'm a lot better now." When it comes down to it, the differences didn't matter to the teams; they both marched on different paths, and did the best with what came their way.

All these sports require great determination, dedication, and the willingness to have fun. The Special Olympics is no exception. In a new location at Iowa School For the Deaf, the Special Olympics was just a short walk across the street for the Titan team. The day was comprised of many different events including shot • put, the 50 meter dash, and the .- softball th row. • All of the LC participants were competitive against others in • these events. • The contestants weren't the only ones atthe track, there were • many NHS students who helped make the day run smoothly. All in all it was a beautiful day to go compete. Above and Beyond At the Special Olympics track meet many volunteers were on hand, including plenty of NHS members, like junior Hannah Patrick. "It was a great experience for me to help out at the Special Olympics. It was a really fun day helping all of the kids, and I think it's a great idea for anyone looking to get involved." Patrick and other NHS students manned the softball throw all day. ''The day was so organized. There was such a positive buzz in the air," she said.

Pages by: Felisha Moore (114) Photos by: Josh McNeely Look at (What they did) There are many things teams do to get ready for their game or upcoming season, some of the members of the Titan baseball team did something most wouldn't think of. Just before their first game of the season, a lot of the baseball guys did the unthinkable, They shaved their heads. The team members who participated in the head shaving include, sophomores Jon Higgins, Dan Hayes, Matt Sharp Sean Lalumendre, and junior Cody Kempf. It looked like their strategy for the season worked . The guys ended the first game with a win. Sophomore Sean Lalumbendre said, "We just shaved our heads because we felt like it. Even though I'm kind of bummed because I miss my hair; I still like the fact that we had a moment together as a team." Sean wasn't the only one who was bummed about his hair, sophomore Dan Hayes said, "I kind of wish we didn't shave our heads, but at the same team I'm glad because we had team unity when we did it." "We were trying to start a new trend for out baseball team and all the future Titan baseball teams," said sophomore Jon Higgins. Higgings started the idea of the head shaving. Sophomore Matt Sharp said, "We came to practice one day and Jon said we should all shave our heads so we did." Not all of the team members shaved theirs heads, but they were the barbers who helped shave the heads. Some of the other team members later plan to shave their heads about halfway through the season. Maybe this will keep up a winning streak. Team unity was not the only reason these guys did it, junior Cody Kempf said, "We did it so our heads would stay cool in the summer."

Lewis Corporation was not only a show choir, it was a group filled with memories and experiences that will not be forgotten . Corp had two directors Shelby Sievers and Brian Johnson. Their performance included six songs: My Vision, Back in Business, Smooth Criminal, Cup of Life, Hot Stuff, and Only Love. Performers competed three times and did well at all of them, placing 3rd at Heelan. Mr. Johnson was new this year and replaced Mr. Huth. Taking on Corporation was a big responsibility but he fit in just right. "With Mr. Johnson things are really different, but even though he is new he is doing a great job," said senior Chris Williams. Preparing for shows took a lot of determination by all of the performers. They practiced all year long starting in the summer. First, at camp they choreographed all of the dances in the show. The next thing they learned was the songs, and finally they combined the two together. The work continues with Senior Meggie Misfeldt a one year veteran of Corp loved the overall experience of it. "I hated the dancing, but i loved the singing." Said Misfeldt. Although this was her first year in Corp it was her fourth year in choir. "Right before the curtains would open i always got butterflies in my stomach," says Misfeldt. Lucky for us she was never to nervous to keep from performing. In the song of Only Love Meggie Misfeldt had her very own solo in the song. So from rough practices to awesome performances they survived. 120~-~--- rehearsals a couple times a week during the school year perfecting the show that they took so much pride in. "During rehearsals we did a lot of cleaning which is where we do what we know and work to get everything on the right beat," said senior Courtney Dusing. All of the creativity and effort that the performers put into their shows was apparent when they went to competitions. Not only do they get to show off what they had done, while there the students in Corp got to watch other show choirs do the same. Going to competitions gave students an opportunity to meet new people and make friends that enjoyed doing the same things they do. "I love meeting new people at competitions ... I'm a people person," said sophomore Ben Rausch. With a successful year of performances completed the students in Corporation take a short break before all of the madness begins again. The performers in Corp leave with a year of memories and another winning tradition. RIGHT ON CUE In her final year of swing choir senior Courtney Dusing hits the position right on mark. She performs in the front so everybody can see her doing her thing. "It's nice to have a lot of different styles in the show." said senior Dusing.

Ask choir students and they would say it is just the beginning. But take a closer look into choir. Is there more to it than people think? When students walk into the choir room they can expect to learn something new everyday. Each class is like a practice and the students work hard to improve whether it is in class or at a lesson in their free time. "Constantly working and practicing makes the voices better, and voice lessons help a lot, too," said choir director Ms. Sievers. A new choir director, Brian Johnson, came to Lewis Central from LeMars High School this year. This new addition not only brought new changes to the choir program, but to Mr. Johnson as well. "New school, new students, new voice, new way of doing things ... pretty much everything is different," said Mr. Johnson. Choir is not all hard work however, During the 2006-2007 choir year, two important players in the Vocal Music Department team were diagnosed with cancer. Mrs. Velma Lippoldt, their loyal accompanist, and Mr. Bruce Norris, the resident vocal expert. Consequently Mrs. Lippoldt was unable to play for the choirs I after the fall concert. "She's a part of the LC choir family. We couldn't do it without her." said sophomore Summer Turner. And anyone who knows Mr. Norris know that nothing can keep him down. Norris is a favorite with the students. "We joke around a lot .. . and hit each other" explained junior Laura Fry.

Even though the classroom is very laid back, every student in choir loves to sing and knows when it is time to get down to business. "Choir is fun, and when I sing my heart is filled with joy," said freshman Tyler Butler. Choir students get to show off their hard work when the time comes to perform. The freshman , concert, and chamber choirs all perform at the main concerts and the Parade of Homes. Anywhere they perform their hard work shows. ''The best part is the adrenaline rush that you get when you know you have your songs all memorized, and it is cool to hear all of the voices of a big group sing together," said senior Meggie Misfeldt. Crescendo, fermata, whole note, or accelerando these are all terms that mean absolutely nothing to the average student.

Marching to the (Be cit of a tliff erettt Drum) It can be seen everywhere: football games, pep rallies, auditoriums, and even the spring musical. It is obvious to all that the Band Department is busier than ever, and their accomplishments keep getting greater. The newest member of the Band is the director, Andy Walters. Th concert band has grown from 43 to 75 members, the group is doing new things, and there are many awards. "Mr. Walters is giving Band a wh le new look," says senior David Ebke. "He has a lot of new ideas and he will make us a lot better." The Marching Band made quite an impression this football seas n. Their shows included songs like Rhapsody. They took '2nd in a Sioux Falls competition and 4th in Clarinda. They als0 osted the first annual Dance-a-thon" which gave prizes to its most talented dancers . Basketball season got a whole new soundtrack when the band department selected students to perform at the games. They got the fans to cheer and sing along. 'We had a lot of fun in Basketball Band," says sophomore Jared Juel. "At some points, we were cheering louder than Ramrod." Concert Band preformed three shows this year. With a group of 75, concert band had many honors. All-state band members this year. were Cayla Gillette, Kristin Parent, and Stephen Bond. They also preformed in Chicago at Elmhurst College for a special clinic. During that time they also saw the Broadway show Wicked, the Blue Man Group, and the Museum of Science and Industry. The Titan Jazz Orchestra also h d many accomplishments. They received a superior rating from the Bellevue East Jazz Festival and achieved 2nd at the Bluffs Jazz Festival. Outstanding solos at the competition were Nick Kempton and Nate Quick. Nate Quick says that he owes it to the new band director. "Mr. Walters has improved the band department so much. I have a lot more fun now that he's here." So whether they're dancing up a storm, marching to the beat, or pumping up the crowd, Titan Band has just begun to tap into the possibilities of the musical world. B : MaKenna DophJ_§eli£id!§et..__ _________ ll ______ _ "Dance, Dance!" The Titan Band did as the popular band Fall-Out Boy says, they danced. You may have noticed at football games, basketball games, and pep rallys, the band was boogying down to its own sweet music. This new spring in their step can be accredited to new band director, Mr. Walters. "Because we had such an involved band director it made band more fun, because he cared about us." Junior Haley Gregory stated. Now it takes talent to play beautiful music and shake your groove thang at the same time. "We're an extreme group. Dancing's okay because we're all crazy awesome" said senior Bonnie South. As you can imagine the Titan Band had some great times. So do as the band does. and get out there and dance! Photo Courtes of: Mr. Walters Mr. Walters Arsenic ( &9 (9/d ~ace) Every actor has the opportunity to do something out of the ordinary for everyone else. A part in every play is the chance to be something you're not. In this years play, Arsenic & Old Lace, the roles included two old ladies, a mad scientist, a Teddy Roosevelt imposter, a couple about to be married, and drunken cops. There were plenty of opportunities for the cast to play make bel ieve. "I came from A.L. this year for L.C.'s drama program. An old lady was a fun part to play because it is something you're not used to and there is a lot of room for improvisation," said junior Jessica Formanek. The old ladies, Jessica and senior Jennifer Ettinger, had age lines put on and talked in h igh, squeaky voices to make themselves appear older. Others in the play made bigger sacrifices to look their part in the show. "I had the whole beard thing going on at practice and Mclaughlin asked if I was going to shave ever. When I said yeah, he told me I should leave it and grow a goatee. It took four weeks," said senior Kyle Fletcher. The cast had fun acting as someone else onstage, but behind the curtain they still had fun being themselves. "It was fun acting drunk since I never am in reality. But offstage, there were four cops and we all just acted like idiots. I liked watching Ben Rausch and Seth Yakel slap each other," said senior Brett Epperson. Another Senior who stepped up at the last minute was seasoned actor David Ebke. "Even though we had to walk through hell, I've never had as much fun in a play unti l Arsenic and Old Lace. It wasn't that hard to do because a lot of people helped me out. It was really cool." YOU MUST BE SO LONELY ...

Anyway, they all have one thing in common. They are all master painters and artists, creating breathtaking works of art that capture our imagination to this day. Perhaps that spirit is captured everyday in room 209; Lewis Central's resident art room . Walking into this room, at first, leads to little surprise. All you will notice is the students shuffling their pencils over a piece of paper just like every classroom. However, pull in a little closer, and that's when the striking artwork some of these high school students produce will seem to jump from their homes on the paper and burn themselves in your mind. Breathtaking outdoor images, close ups of a classmates face, pencil blurred drawings of an animal, or even a strikingly vivid pure color washed basket of fruit. And it doesn't stop there. The adjacent pottery room yields equal results as you see the large, hyper-detailed sculptures that are in the making. Boxes, sculptures, teapots, and the latest favorite - personalized dog bowls. Sometimes the amount of detail work that goes into the tiniest little corner of a vase can take more time than studying for that physics test you've been fretting about. So, the next time you need a little inspiration, why not take a trip to the art/pottery rooms and take a closer look. • • • • • • • • . ,__-1=\Piiilll-- CLAY DUST BUNNIES Mr. Cunningham's desk isn't always the cleanest place around.

Kurstrm Devine (131) §>~b The winter sports alternative . Mysterious, - crazy, · loud, flamboyant, courageous- all characteristics of L.C. Speech performers Unbeknownst to most though speech might just be one of the most successful activities at L.C. The success rate was at an all time high for the speechers. Large group sent nine groups to state and Reader's Theater went to all-state for the 7th consecutive year. Individual speechers blew people away again sending an astonishing 15 people to state, including Jenn Ettinger who went to all-state for her fourth straight year making her the first Titan to ever achieve this goal. "It is truly an amazing accomplishment by Jenn," said speech Coach Laurie Nielsen. 'This is great that she is the first person to ever do this from L.C. and this just doesn't happen in the state of Iowa very often. You have to be really gifted to reach that level." Jenn herself was quite proud of her accomplishments, "After not making it to all-state in large group, I was a little down and didn't think I was going to make it for individual, but then I found out I did and it was a huge relief." Speech isn't all serious though, all you have to do is look around the speech room before you find the "troublemakers" (as Mrs. Nielsen would call them). "The best thing that we did this year been with my sling king, (giant slingshot). At state we were _:. launching an assortment of objec s across the gym and we got Kristen Schweer's scarf caught on the top of the basketball hoop," said Zane Brugenhemke. "We had to go and get the janitor to bring the hoop down to get it back, but it was worth it, added David Ebke. Mrs. Nielsen was not as impressed. "I was so angry that they brought that thing along, it embarrassed me so much being their coach, but knowing those guys it was really no surprise that something like that would of happened," said Mrs. Nielsen. "I was just happy I got it back because if those guys would have lost it I would have been quite mad, said Kristin." LC speech is in a close race with the wrestling team for. one of the most successful programs offered at LC And by the looks of things these super speechers aren't slowing down.

(140) I I NHS members are often involved in activities. Jennifer Hall runs track and cross-country. She qualified for state track in the 3000 meter run. "Jenny has an amazing work ethic, that girl inspires me plus she is funny. She always leads the distance girls in their workouts," said sophomore Andrea Hutchinson. ''She's dedicated, takes it seriou ly. and is a great leader for the rest of the kids m our school," said NHS Adv1~or John Drake. One hour at a time National Honor Society was established by the NASSP in 1921. The four main purposes of the chapters of NHS are "To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools." (From the NHS constitution) Those purposes mean a lot to NHS and its members; it is almost like a Bible. "I think its great kids want to go out and volunteer," said Jennifer Ettinger. NHS stands for National Honor Society, however to its members it means more than just an organization. NHS is somewhat an honor roll; their members show perfection in more than one thing. Leadership, scholarship, service, and character ' re all qualities of members of National Honor Society. "I think leadership is important because it makes us have all the traits an National Honor Society member should have," says senior Jessica Dappen. Members are accepted at the junior and senior levels. it is estimated that there are more than one million students who take part in the National Honor Society organization. Members often work many hours in volunteer work for the hospital, local day care service, and other community work. Senior Amanda Schieffer estimates she's spent over five-hundred hours in her NHS career in volunteer work. Dedication is an important part for its members. If it weren't for National Honor Society, the community wouldn't be what it is today, hard work and dedication is hard to find ... However its members are willing to take the job. I I I • ' ' . :.

Shows such as Saved by the Bell, High School Musical, and Laguna Beach certainly gave the impression that high school was going to be an adventure, but could never prepare them for the four years that lie ahead. Lewis Central is the beginning of the rest of their lives. After the nervous blur that some call freshman year, students start to find their strengths in the many areas such as business science, journalism, art or engineering. After taking these classes students can finally confirm with their parents that they were correct at five in stating that they will be a doctor someday. For others, they find themselves involved in different activities. Some discover their inner Kelly Clarkson, while others see themselves as the Jim Carey that lights up the stage. LC students test their skills to showthattheirdrumming ability is more than above par. Titan athletes discipline themselves to achieve the impossible. While all of this craziness is going on, balancing work, family, friends, and cramming for finals becomes crucial for survival. These four years teach lessons students will need in their future such as when their train will arrive if it leaves point A at 3 o'clock or how much sugar to put in the cookies. They realize that a home-made meal with family is better than a pop tart while running out the door. Students discover all of these things alongside those that are most deserving of a friendship bracelet. The dream of having the high school experience like those such as Zack from Saved by the Bell or Vanessa from High School Musical may not come true, but Titans have their own adventures. Everyone can be sure of that. With all of these life lessons in mind, it's safe to say that Lewis Central will always be with its alumni and students. Whenever the word "Titan" is said, students will remember back to the great days of tailgating, Friday night movies, and snow days with friends. They will remember the things they learned, and know how it ha helped them throughout their life. Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning of the rest of their lives. BEcause it's we are. What does student life mean to most people? • To many • , the firstthing that comes to mind is activities students do inside of school or the friends they hang out with, but student life is more than that. Students live through high school encountering new experiences that help them cope with their futures. It is not what students do, it's the events they go through, the decisions they make, and the memories they take with them for the rest of their lives. Going through high school, students pick up many routines. The first day of school only comes once a year. Everyone drags , themselves out of bed, throws on the carefully picked out clothes, and checks their make-up before walking out the door. Then, after a few weeks into the school year, mornings become a ritual, the first day becomes a daze and all that is keeping students sane is counting the seconds until summer returns. A big part of school life is academics. For many students the school year is pretty serious. Cram sessions and caffeine become an essential. There is a week every year, however, where the school gets a little crazy, SPIRIT WEEK! Students try to show their personality through different characters such as Cruella Deville, Tinkerbelle, Mickey Mouse and even "Pimp Daddies" a.k.a. Mr. Agan. Another thing high school is not complete without is school dances. Students grow courage and fight off those scary nerves to ask someone to be their date. Next up, is making dinner arrangements and getting the groups together. After a long day of hair and makeupTitans are all dressed up to show up at Homecoming, Snoball or Prom and dance the night away! When it comes down to it, Titans have busy schedules, loads of spirit, and many memories to carry on. They lead active and successful lives, with days that start at dawn and end after sundown. Whether it's the first day of school or their last moments in the hallways, students are accomplishing more than ever. No one will understand the life of a true Titan until they live a day in their shoes. p R 0 u D BECOME I twas August, and the end of summer was near. Students realized that the inevitable, the first day of school, was well on its way. Feeling distraught, they reminisced about all of the fun times they had in the past couple of months and complained that those lazy days had been cut short. Though the end of summer was a sad thought, they wondered about all of the new and exciting things the school year would bring. The freshmen felt a burst of emotion on the first day of school. At first they were so excited, yet so nervous, to finally be in high school. Upon their arrival the freshmen gathered in the commons where they met the principals, faculty, and student council; the band performed for the first time and the class photo was taken. Whisked away to class, there was mass confusion, and they felt lost. Luckily, the friendly student council members were there to guide them. "I'm glad student council was there to help us. I wouldn't have been able to find a lot of my classes otherwise," said freshman Chase Durham. After the first run-through of classes, it was time for lunch. The school became much more crowded, with the upperclassmen flooding into the building. They had been sleeping in and going out to breakfast with friends all morning, and were now ready to take back the school from the newcomers. "The freshmen looked like deer in the head lights when we got there,"said junior Lora Billesbach. "I don't remember us ever being that small when we were freshmen." Finally the day ended, and all of the students shuffled out of the building that would hold them captive for 179 more days. For the freshmen and new kids, it had been an initiation into Titan country. This is when they truly became a Titan. Pages by: Caitlin Christensen and Kaitlyn Connealy What you need to BE prepared: SUPPLIES. You probably won't be doing much book work today, but it's a good idea to be prepared with some notebooks and pencils in case your teachers release information vital to your memory. CLOTHES. What you wear on the first day of school should represent who you are. So express yourself! Don't go out and blow all of your money on a brand new outfit, but do look your best to make a good impression on your peers and teachers. WELCOME Breakfast is an essential for a successful first day. From Poptarts to Vil lage Inn French toast, you should satisfy your early morning cravings to prepare yourself for all the new changes and challenges.

"One time my car broke down because I tried to get a cat off my car and it got stuck in my engine. Another time my car broke down, Felisha Moore had to come pick me up. The funny thing was, I gave Alex Rocha a ride. His little brother was dressed up as a banana." Photo by: Josh McNeely HEATED For most teens, their first car is not always their dream car; and they are full of hidden problems that they happen stumble upon at the worst possible times "One day my car overheated and I had to ride to school with Marcy. She listens to some oldies. It wasn't a good change from my music," senior Zach Stowe. Photo by: Josh McNeely THE LINE UP Manuvering out of the parking lot takes skill , patience, and time. Many students have to wait in line at least five minutes to leave." It takes more time than it really needs to get out everyday," Nathan Cox, sophomore.

Some are even lucky enough to get a car before that. Some have no such luck and must work and save money to finance their own car. Though Driver's Ed is mostly a drag, in the end the thrill of getting a school permit or license makes it all worth it. "One time, I was driving for class, Mr. Siske, the instructor, told me to pull over to the side. I came over too far and hit a mailbox. I was mad because he blamed it all on me, but it was really his fault," said sophomore Kayla Bass. Having a car and a license opens a whole new opportunity of freedom . You can get where you need to go when you need to get there at the expense of no one else. These freedoms, however, are accompanied by responsibilities as well. While some are fortunate to have their parents fill up their tanks, the rest of the student drivers must work for their gas. With gas prices sky-rocketing, students are finding themselves burning a whole in their pocket as their cars burn fuel. "Gas prices are ridiculous. I just got a new truck and it costs ninety bucks to full up. That's too high!" said sophomore Blake Hunter. New, inexperienced drivers are likely to have a few fender benders, especially in winter weather. "The first snow of the year, on my way home from school my car couldn't make it up the hill by the fire station on Greenview. I had to take a different road, and I ended up getting stuck anyways. My dad had to come get me," said senior Kristen Schweer. Out on the road, there are a few things all drivers should remember: buckle up, obey the speed limit, never drink and drive, be a defensive driver, keep off the cell phone, and drive smart.

PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON With intensity in their faces, seniors Allie Frost, Courtney Kmezich and Jackie Clinkenbeard use every ounce of energy to defeat their opponent. It's become a tradition for at least one person from each team to wear a pair of gloves in the tugof-war games, for the seniors it was Kmezich. CHAMPIONS Displaying their super human strength, the junior girls fight in the tug-of-war championship. The juniors beat the freshmen and the senior girls. VICTORY! Smiling for the crowd, freshman Nolan Johnson rejoices after a victory in the pie eating contest. "It was awesome I never get to eat like that," says Johnson.

The host for the evening's activities was drama director, Tom Mclaughlin. The night began with the walk of representatives from each grade. Soon the games began with the first event being a survival of the fittest challenge. The challenge consist 9 of dressing up and then balancing on a thin log with one leg. "Even though balancing was hard, the hardest part was not laughing during the teacher acts," said winner senior Tierra Wells. While many teachers participated, few will forget Counselor Julie Mccomas circling the court with her basketball, or Joe and Kellie Vi nchettle executing a series of cheerleading stunts, or the dance moves of Andy Walters and Brian Johnson. The administrators, Chuck Story, Paul Massman, Mike Hale and Kim Jones performed their version of the Blue Man Group complete with PVC piping. "I had to use breathing skills, it was so hard to breath in that mask and the gym was so hot!" said Mr. Hale. An additional game was added this year, a pie eating contest won by freshman Nolan Johnson. "It was great! I was only a freshman and I dug in and beat all the upperclassman," said Johnson. The evening continued with the sexy leg battle. Seniors Brian Jacobs and Duong Pham swept away the competition with their amazing legs. "I manage to keep my legs sexy with a lot of running and swimming, and a lot of lotion," said Duong Pham. Finally it was time for the crowd favorite, the tug- ofwar! Enormous amounts of energy were exerted over a few rounds of tugging. The reigning champions turned out to be the senior boys and the junior girls. At the end of the night Tony Robinson and Mallory Husz were crowned homecoming king and queen.

For some, they had been planning the night since July, making dinner reservations and color coordinating everything to the perfect shade of blue. For others, homecoming was full of last minute reservations and shopping. Whatever the case, homecoming was here and the night was young. After the semi-uncomfortable "parents meeting and taking pictures," several people relaxed and went to the restaurant of choice. Many fine dined, but others took a more relaxed approach. "We went to Luke Norville's house and had Valentinos catered," says freshman Sarni Schaefer. With food eaten and tips left on (most) tables, everyone's pulse was beating faster than usual; the main event was only minutes away. As the car headed towards school, the vibe within the group changed. "We played the alphabet game on the way over; I was driving and I still won! Jami Mundt even cheated," said sophomore Brian Fountain. Once there, parent volunteers were more than happy to check in the belongings of the students. After everything was checked in, it was finally tim·e to dance. Adrenaline levels climbed as the mass of people started to dance. Then, for a brief moment, the spotlight belonged to the Homecoming King and Queen, Tony Robinson and Mallory Husz. As they shared in their first dance as royalty, others joined the floor. The last song ended, and everyone plowed through the lines to get their belongings, then headed in separate directions. For most, the after party was their destination. "Our group went to Jackson Dick's house and once we got there we then proceeded to head downstairs to change and wait for the stragglers from our group. Jackson's mom had made a massive amount of food; I was in heaven,'' said junior Adam Evans.

ROCKIN' THE GLOWSTICK Many students brought glowsticks to the homecoming dance. ''The party line with the glowsticks and lays was really fun. It was cool because we haven't had that kind of thing before," said senior Amanda Goeser. Photo by: Lauren Petri As the season changed students showed that the cold weather couldn't get in the way of their dancing shoes. With longer dresses and a more formal attitude this could only mean it's time for Snoball. A night filled with memories and good times, students looked forward to different aspects of snoball. "The most exciting part of the night was getting lost on the way to the restaurant. We were trying to get to Malara's and we ended up getting lost in North Omaha. It took us an hour before we finally found the restaurant," said sophomore Kelsey Johnson. While many went out to dinner, some dined in showing that Snoball doesn't have to be an expensive night. Grilling hamburgers or ordering in a pizza was a new twist on a classic night. "I had a bunch of guys over before Snoball and we ate hamburgers and had a Wi i tournament. It was a lot of fun," said freshman Nate Connealy. After dinner and a quick photo shoot it was time to go to the dance. A quick stop to the coat check to drop off shoes, coats, and purses, and then off to gym to continue a night of fun. The clock struck 1 O and it was time for the court to make their entrance. Some stepped away from a classic red carpet ent ance and put their own twist on red carpet glamour. However, the music didn't go as planned for seniors Carly Sinn and Rick Devoss. "We were supposed to walk into Oh Fortuna then unveil, pause, and finish with Stayin' Alive. We're both humorous and thought there was no need to take things seriously. Rick came up with the songs and I added the sheets for a more dramatic effect," said senior Carly Sinn. At 11 the dance ended. The dancers picked up their belongings at the coat check and made their way to their post-snoball destinations. In the end, Snoball was a red carpet experience for all.

After approximately 720 days, 66 finals, and too many teachers to count, high school seemed to go by a little quicker than expected. Before they knew it, seniors faced events for the last time. During the last home game, senior night honored athletes as they took a step on the field for the last time. "Our last football game was the perfect way to end the season," said Thomas. "We weren't expected to win, and then we ended up beating Carroll 16-0." The last winter break came and went with snow days and sledding. It was the last Christmas at home before college, and presents to use in college came pouring in. Finally, it sank in. Seniors realized when May appeared that some of the activities they were involved in would be their last. Most importantly, seniors took their last final. For some, they only had to take a post test. ''The last week of school was kind of easy because I only had to take two finals," said senior Stephen Bond. "The rest of my teachers didn't make the seniors take a final." While some had to take finals for the last time, most were stressing over that dreaded final English Composition paper. It was ten pages long on any subject. 'The career research paper was stressful because it had to be 1 O pages, and no one wants to type a long paper the last trimester of their senior year," said senior Damien Croghan. "The only good thing about it was that you got to choose your subject." Then, the final day came. Seniors shuttled through the halls trying to get teachers to sign them out. Others finished up on last minute class work. "When your teachers sign you out, it finally hits you that it's over," explained senior Logan Mundt. "I realized how much I'm going to miss everyone, especially Ms. Muta." With graduation quickly approaching, seniors realized everything that took place at LC. They found how to make their last moments of high school count.

Senior Kayla Gundlach Senior Year Lewis Central students had the opportunity to take a variety ~f classes in a variety of locations. "Lewis Ceritral's academics are unique in the fact that you can take classes on four different campuses including Iowa Western, Iowa School For The Deaf, Tucker Center and of course Lewis Central," said sophomore Cole Templeton. Some of the classes offered included engineering, British Literature, creative writing, clothing design, human anatomy, web page design and robotics. A fine arts type of person found British Literature or Creative Writing right up their alley. British Literature (a.k.a. Brit Lit) provided an opportunity for students to learn from instructor Victoria Freivogel. "Lets see ... we read Beowulf, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, MacBeth, and various poets. I think the students had the hardest time reading the Canterbury Tales because it's written in Middle English, so it was a little hard to comprehend." Creative Writing was a fun class filled with writing styles, poems and stories, and of course, Laurie Nielsen. At the end of the trimester students published their poems, short stories, and essays in the class literary magazine,'The Mighty Pen.' Students with scientific brains signed up for Human Anatomy, a three term college credit class. While challenging, it was also a great chance to learn about the human body. Instead of all that deep thinking, Robotics had the tools for a focus on the future. Many students talented on the computer took Web Page Design giving students a chance to show creativity on the internet. In Clothing Design, students createf their own designs and improved the quality of their sewing. Not only did students excel in sports and academics, the graduation rate was high. While Lewis Central's average was 22, students have scored a 36 on the ACT. LC, a school with dedicated students, that pursued whatever their heart's desired: sports, theater, and academics.

Due to the huge amount of homework received the day before, many students may not fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning. No matter the case, ready or not...school comes first. There is a wide variety of things to do to get ready for school. Some students take a shower right away to wake themselves up. Others go straight to the breakfast table to get some brain food. Although it works for some, it isn't that easy for everyone. "It's very, very hard for me to wake up in the morning. After my alarm goes off, I just go back to sleep," said junior Tori VonMende. Once up and ready to go, it's time to make the journey to school. Half the time, students fight the sunrise on their way. Some take it up a notch, thinking to themselves "Why are we going to school so early, my parents don't have to go to work until 9!" Nevertheless, arrival at school poses yet another obstacle: parking. Some days a driver can get lucky and get a spot close to the door, less walking that way. Unfortunately, most aren't that lucky. Thankfully there is a huge selection of places to park. Parking far away from the school can guarantee safety, but parking in the middle is still safe and not as much walking. "It's easy to find a parking spot if you get [to school] early, but if you're late you have to park far away," said junior Shylo Thomas. With parking out of the way, it's time to make your way inside the school and chat it up with friends before the bell rings to go to class. Many students will stock up on energy drinks or food to eat during the first few hours of the day, to make sure they get enough to eat, in case they missed breakfast. Others take advantage of the little time they have with friends and spend the whole morning finding out what gossip they missed out from the night before.

Photo By: Jema Petersen Trying on shoes can be like trying out a different country; you want the perfect fit. For senior exchange students Sophia Carlo, Daniel Shenk, and Ja Ye Wang this was certainly the case. They came to the United States to study and live with a host family but each one had a different view of America. "I wanted to see if American culture is really what it looks like in the movies," said Sophia Carlo who arrived in Iowa from Montpellier, France. For JaYe Wang from Shanghai, China, it was about having a chi ldhood dream, "Since I was a kid I told my grandma I would go to the United States when I got older." Daniel Shenk from Berlin, Germany, wanted to know if it was like the movies, "I watched "American Pie" and I wanted to live like that!" Fat Americans that eat McDonalds all the time was the first impression they had. Over time their opinion changed. "Americans are friendly, they like to talk, and most of them are crazy and funny," said Shenk. While their views changed, so did their own personalities. Living together with their host fami ly, the Randolphs, impacted Wang. "Back home I don't have any brothers; Daniel [Shenk] is like my big brother. i have changed my temper because Daniel is older, so I can't yell at him." A little bit of freedom with host family, the Hills, changed Carlo, "I've matured and have become more independent, and I am more open." The daily life of an American student was one of the biggest changes. "I like that school ends at2:45.You can choose your classes; it's easy and the teachers are nice!" says Carlo. "I don't see why people don't like school here; if they went to France they wouldn't make it!" In Berlin, school is quite different. "We don't have lunch, we have shorter periods. School is from 8: 10 until 2:30. We have no school sports and no school spirit," said Shenk.

Photos Submitted Remember heading off to school with a sack lunch packed and the excitement of a field trip on the big yellow bus? Many thought this classic elementary school memory would change once they entered high school, but the truth was high school students took many field trips during the course of the school year. Elective classes and core classes had a break from the usual schedule and learned outside the classroom. "I like to go on field trips because I don't feel confined like I do in school," said sophomore Andrew Gulden. Child development went on a field trip every trimester. Mrs. Kreger took her students to the 1st National Bright Horizons Child Care Center, Jennie Edmundson Hospital to visit the birthing room, and to the Mall of the Bluffs to conduct a price comparison for common baby items at popular stores such as Target, Sears, and Dillards. The ever popular Zoology trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo with Mr. Bergman was a favorite. Students from all three trimesters of his Zoology class spent the day taking a different look at all the animals they had learned about."My favorite part of the zoo was the gorillas because they were very interactive. They ran around a lot and they were fun to watch," said junior Josh McNeely. Other field trips included the Health 2 trip to IWCC for the health and sciences conference, the freshmen trip to the Holland Center to see "Romeo and Juliet," the Woods class went to a furniture and cabinet shop, the Family Consumer Science visit to the sewage treatment plant, Iowa School for the Deaf, and the D.L.R Architectural Firm in Omaha.

Hutdlinson H ealth means different things to different people. To some it is living life to the fullest, to others it is a strict diet and exhausting exercise regimen, and to others it is a fight for their life in a hospital bed. Whatever health may be to you, it is inevitably part of your everyday life. Do teenagers get enough sleep? For most the answer is absolutely NOT (at all)! The average teenager needs about 9.5 hours a night. For the majority, this outrageous number isn't even feasible. In fact, teenagers generally get around 7.4 hours a night, a far cry from 9.5. Health includes both physical and mental ,_.,_._,_._,,._,__"-""'-'_,_,,,_,_ __ aspects. Dealing with the stress of high school can be a challenge. Not only school-work and tests, but also handling the social 'drama' can take its toll on students. "I think what stresses me out the most is living up to expectations, like how people perceive you," said junior Laurel Thoms. Exercise is a proven way to help relieve these stresses. Lewis Central's vast athletic program offers some solutions with four different gym classes: Team Activities, Personal Development, Wellness for Life, and Water Safety, not to mention any one of LC's athletic teams. But participating in at least one activity, athletic or not, can take up a large chunk of your afterschool time. Now add two hours of homework after that. Seems to leave you with more stress and even less sleep. So is the system against you? High School is all about finding that perfect balance of who you are, who you want to be, and what you want to do. The choices you make -- everyday affect your health today and for the rest of your life. Be wise.=] Pages By: Kristen Gerhardt & Andrea Hutchinson (1) PUMP IT!

While under hypnosis a person is completely focused; therefore, they are very open to suggestions. In this part of the act Dreager was convinced he was having a baby; he screamed like a person in labor would. The others scrabbled around as they tried to help him. Someone yelled ice chips while others huddled around Dreagerwaiting for the baby to arrive. Although Dreager wasn't actually having a baby, in this sleep like stimulation, the seniors believed he was. Seniors Joey Jerkovich, Adriene Hitchcock, Mallory Husz, Zane Brugenhemke, Morgan Wolff, Kailin Bellows, Mason Tsuji, Logan Mundt, Curtis Dreager, Caleb Housley, Mike Dillon, Jessica Formanek and Kendall Prine all participated in the act of hypnotism at post prom. "I knew what I said, I just didn't think about it. It was kind of whatever I thought of first is what I said," recalls senior Zane Brugenhemke. During the hypnotist's act, the seniors were asked to do make different noises. Also they were asked to become very linguistic as they spoke Japanese. Senior Caleb Housley said, "I was aware of what I was doing, I just wasn't necessarily in control.". It is said that when you wake up from a hypnotic state, you feel in control, your mind is clear, and you are no longer afraid to stand in front of audiences. "It felt good when I woke up, it felt like I had control of my actions again," said Brugenhemke. "When I first woke up I was slightly dizzy, tired, and I was praying that I didn't do something extremely embarrassing," said Housley. The only senior to walk off the floor and back to his seat in the bleachers was Mike Dillon. "I don't think I became hypnotized because I didn't believe it would work," said Dillon.When asked if they would do it again, most seniors said yes. "The videos on Facebook are hilarious of all of us. I'm glad it was good entertainment," said Prine.

The pivotal moment in one's life: graduation. Didn't it seem like light years away? The truth is that high school goes by in a flash. Almost everyone remembers their first day of high school. The upperclassmen seemed like giants, and the school was a maze. Freshmen stuck out like a sore thumb, no one could predict what to expect. After a while, things got easier, and everyone found new friends in the upperclassmen. Freshmen, however, were still pushed to the back of the football stands. Then sophomore year quickly approached. Now, they too could finally call the youngest students "fresh meat." Finding a favorite sport or extra curricular became an adventure. High school seemed to get easier yet new challenges were still on the horizon. Cramming for ACTs, screaming babies from parenting class, and planning for college became the blur of the junior year. Parents and teachers kept asking the dreaded question: What are you going to do for the rest of your life? It was stressful, but hey, no one ever said moving forward in the football stands would be an easy task. Finally, senior status with a claim on top dog. Seniors finally got the hang of things with special privileges like sleeping in and job shadowing and dreamed of the future as the moments flew by. After four hard years, it seemed impossible that so many faces and memories could be crammed into that short of a time. Just when you thought you had high school figured out, it ended. As the seniors walked across the stage they wondered, What will the future hold for me? .. .c a> ·- CD w tn Senior Class Motto: "Whcit lies behind us cind whcit lies before us are tiny mat ters compcired to whcit lies within us." - Ralph Vvaldo Emerson Class Flower: Forget-me-not Nicole Ann Andersen Jerad Blaine f ,nderson Isaac Andrew Bamett Ka1hn Kelsea Bellows Class Song: Here's t o the Nights by Eve 6 L;iuren Ei1zabeth Androy Jordan Michael Baas Amanda Max1nt'-Kay Berg Amber I' ..ath1een Bernnqu "1 would like t o be the pre01dent bee ::iu0P. he ran do anything he wants." - Sen1ur ~ v110ur::I P-rrJ Amber Faye Buckles Cheryl Nicole Butler • Em~ Jo Campbell R,yan Christian Carlson Stephanie Coe Carner Brandon VJ11l1am Oark t'vle Sterling f,rou?hom Goodmond Harold Danielsen Katie 1¥nn Darnell "'! wou1d like to be like my gr2ndp2, bec2use he h2s h2d such an amazing impact on my life." - Senior M2son Tsuji Cul~ Taylor Canada Sophia Mane Cart::> Skyler Aaron Qark Jaclene 01nkenbeard Stephanie Ann Davids Sydr11e Nicole Dennis Curtis De.an Dre.ager JessiC<l Marie Edison laylor Edwards Alex Aaron Fauble Jakob \'layne Ferguson "I want to be like Oprah becaL.ne 0hP I:? an 01 JtgoinGJ bl.~r woman who helps t he worl(J" - ~en10 J ,f n 1 J , . ) Haley lynn Gregory Sara Knsc1ne Gnmes Zachary David Grothe Kayla Dawn Gundlach ".,y1e Dai Id Herren Andi Lee H1gg1nbotham Brandi Lee Higgins Adnene Jeanine Hitchcock I wleo Jam~s Housley Mallory Ann Husz George lvano11 "I want to become ci successful soldier cind cin ciccomplished person." - Senior Stephanie Ccirrier Bnan Theodore Jacobs Jennifer Mane Hall Hannah Raye Hopson Joserh Pciul Jerl-Ov1ch Matthew Robert Kohl Michele Knstlne Kohlscheen Andrew lv11chael L3fferty Rebecca Jo Lline Lisa Ann Lea~y "I want to be able to help kids and rnake th~rn rea111e th~ can do anything they want." - s~l 1' )( Jr 1 r :--;;or Jessica Sue Meurer Ben Scott Moffatt Adam Lee Mouw James Christian Neeson Scott Alan Nelson Lisa Nguyen CddtP, Lee I loaner RG!chelle l,ynne Osborn Ahsha Marie ~l erton Matthew Scott Federsen "! wou1d like t o become ci police officer, so I c2n protect 2nd ~t'"ve the cit izens of my country" - Senior Cody Kempf Logan Thomas Mundt Allen James Murray Derek Alvin N1ghtser Alex Lee Noecker Kristin Kelh ~rent Hannah Cathenne ~trick Carlos Roberto Ftre.z Marcos Chnstian Ftre.z Miguel Angel Vargas ferez Bailey Jade ferryman Haley Mane fhmge Kendall Kay Fhne Bryant Logan Rose Stephanie Mane Rowe Duong Hoang Pham Scott Alan F'hi malee Melissa Nicole ftlml':rleau Matthew Phillip Quaas Jennifer Jean Ranek Justin Edwari:I IG:lu Hilary Lynn Sadler Leot>ardo Alejandro Sandov ;I "When I get older, I will be content knowinr, that, rYJY arrib1t1or 1"'.:) have far exceeded my talent." - ,_)P.r ior t yir: t ~P.:n Fn j Daniel Burl(hard Schenk Rachel Ann Schultz Thomas Tyler Schulze Connie Jean Smith Kevin Michael Smith "1 want to become a pediatric nurse because I like taking 1 rr of people, and I love kids." - Senior Jordan Baas Danan Johnathon Scott Nicole Mane Smith Taylour Josef Sousa Nathan Llirry Thomas l.achery Fntl:lohn Thomas Derek l//.ayne Thompson Albin John Thramer Alex Shea Traeger Hannah Mane \'/ashburn "vVhen l grow up l want to be like D~ve the tr that is what I'm going t o college -for' - -J--; -, I "· /hen I get o!der I want t o own my own landscaping business." - Senior Brian Jacobs "I want to be married to a famous actn,. ~nrJ 1e ri Ho yv\cu J" - Senior KriSL1G1 1. 1 1 f, '"'. 1v1ant to become an actor and create an environment for t ! ·;.JP, 1nter·ested in perform ing arts." - Sen ior Eddie Nooner I l\/lost [ikel~ l!J Logan Mur;iet C> .. - • I ..

"I picked out a couple different outfits w-hen I got my senior pictures done. We made sure that we took them on a nice day,"said senior Joey Jerkovich. "They are a big thing, and you want to make sure that they are right." Graduation parties took a lot of planning. With all of the food, family, friends, decorations, and pictures, parents became easily tired. Not only did students worry about their own parties, they tried to figure out a schedule to spend a little time at everyone else's as well. "Graduation parties were ridiculous. There were over 15 that I had to go to in one day," said senior Kelsey Cox. "I had to do some planning to get to all of them." After thirteen years of tests, late night bus rides, and too many memories to count, seniors were finally able to be finished. Some were estatic that they would be leaving, "I'm exicted to be leaving home to go to college. I've been waiting 18 years-to be this independent," said senior Josh Stroeher. "They only thing I'm nervous about being on my own is paying the bills." Other seniors were sad for the times they were leavihg behind. "The greatest part of graduation was the feeling that it was over, but there's a lot of things and people that I'm never going to forget," said senior Justin Rau. In the end, graduation was the end of high school, but the beginning of everything else. It was a good time to remember all of the THANKS MOM Thanking his mom for getting him to this day, senior Jess Boese shows his mother his flowers. During his high school years, Boese was involved in wrestling and tennis. W hat Does Your Robe Mean? Gold Cord These graduates were members of National Honor Society.

Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Track. What is it about sports that made students crazy all year long? Practices were long and hard; at points it could've been so easy to quit. In the end, it was all worth it, just to see the final scoreboard. Sports started with that terrible first week of practices. The coaches were strict, telling players that they needed more. Conditioning was the main goal, one of the most dreaded words in athletics. Trips to Trainer Dave became a regular after hard practices. After the first week went by, everything seemed to get a little better. Next, that crucial first game arrived. Stomachs were in knots, and nerves were going crazy. When that first step was taken onto that field, everything changed. There were no nerves, just spirit. In all of the match ups, the rivals met. Both teams lined up across the courts and fields from one another; each stand packed with fans. Tensions ran high when it seemed like everything was on the line. The games, more like battles, determined the winners and losers. The trophies bought bragging rights for the next year. The last big game in all sports was the. final home game. Seniors made it a priority to see that the final scoreboard screamed WIN. Parents packed in the stands to see their child's last match as a high school student. With the end of the season came the last team dinner. Coaches handed out awards for the top performances, and showed off the best parts of the season. Students achieved the desired varsity letter that they worked so hard for. Win or lose, goals of the season were met. Looking back, sports were a major part of the school. Yes, practices were hard, but they challenged athletes to better themselves. All of the late night study sessions, conditioning, and long bus rides were nothing when compared to the Titan-crazed fans that came to every game, parents who put on spaghetti dinners for every game, and coaches who spent many hours building confidence and ability in their athletes. It was very easy to see why people loved sports at Lewis Central. • • BEcQ®Qfrrs~ B ig wins and small losses is a great explanation of how the Titans would describe their season. "We had some inexperience on the team this year. Everyone had to step up and prove they belonged," said junior Austin Blay. "We all had tons of fun. There was never a dull day of practice," said junior Pat Gillespie. Hopes for reaching state were gone after losing to both Saint Albert's and Denison, but the team still persevered. The team fought back and got a huge win against Perry. The Titans took on more team strategy in the way they had played. After the loss to Glenwood, the team's next challenge was to play Carroll, who already qualified for state. "We all knew about their record, how good they were, and we knew even if we did win that there was no way we were going to state. It was our last game and there was no way we were just going to give up," said senior Zane Brugenhemke. That night turned out to be one of the biggest upsets in D-8 football when the Titans came out on top 16-0 over the Tigers. "This was a great group of guys that were a lot of fun to be around," said Coach Sterbick. The team was always preaching about how even if their record was not as good as recent years, they had become a tea.m who trusted and cared for one another. The determination and loyalty was more important than any number of wins on a record sheet. PUMP IT UP Getting his teammates ready to play hard, junior Matt Sharp puts on his game face. In his first year playing varsity, Sharp contributed to the team in many ways. When asked if his leadership was an asset to the team he said, "Yes, because I tell people where to step in and when Al Thramer was gone I took charge so the team would stay focused."

"Hanafan always tells us that , .. the best weapon is our own teartl," ' said senior captain Jackson Dick. The captains' leadership helped develop , the athletes individually and as a team. "The best part of being a team leader is knowing I helped lead the team. I get to look back and say I was captain with Justin Rau and Derek Nightser• said senior captain Al Thramer.

"When Hanafan's face turns purple. you know it's time to step it up," said defensive linebacker Brandon Harman. Defensive coach Chris Hanafan was described as inspiring and intense. When the players were asked how he encourages them senior Nate Thomas said, "He's a motivator. That's why he is such a great coach."

When sk if his leadership was an asset to the team he replied with, Yes t.Jecause I try get everyone mentally prepared." T~EBI G OEBATE Whose practice is harder? Offense or Defense? "Getting everyone to work together and cooperate as a team makes our practice challenging," said senior Cody Kempf. "I think they are equal because one is more physical and the other more me ntal. It's eas ier to remember what you have to do on defense, but there is a lot of hitting. Offense may not be be as physical, but it is B 0 T 1-l harder to remember the plays," commented senior captain Justin Rau. "Our practice is harder because we have to do Maytiows," said senior captain Derek Nightser. Maytiows are runn ing dril ls that require the athletes to run across the field, drop down and do push-ups wheri the whistle is blown.

Photo by:Josh McNeely The fall 2007 volleyball season was tough, but an overall blast for the team! "I thought we played good. We started out rough but came together,'' said sophomore Emily Morgan. With seven wins and three losses, the team showed how they could work together and maintain a closeness that helped them persevere throughout the season. "I think we bond more by sitting and talking together, like when we eat food,'' says senior Rachel Schultz. Team dinners are just one example of coming together to bond. It all came down to "Everybody getting together and having fun,'' said senior Jamie Swisher. What do you like most about volleyball? Sophomore Emily Morgan replied, "How it's way different than any other sport; it's harderthan it sounds, and the score can change so quickly. There is so much more to it than people think:' A common thing most players look forward to in the season is districts. 'We get so pumped up! Districts are the funnest part of the season" says sophomore Hayleigh Hansen. Even though it was a good season, there was a possible set back. ''The worst memory was breaking my ankle. I was out for more than half of the season. I was doing a quick back set (71) [a set delivered behind the setters back which is then hit by an attacker]. Kristi Gamble stepped back for balance, and I fell on her,'' said junior Kelsey Tech. Although it worked out in the end, it will always be something that the team can look back on.

The sport that can't get enough of the Iowa Loess Hills just keeps getting better as each year passes. The cross country team ran its way to fame this season with its senior all star line up, including Jaci Clinkenbeard, Jenny Hall, Grady Martin, Duong Pham, Hilary Sadler, Connie Smith, and Rosalie Warner. "We struggled throughout the middle of the season, mainly because of injuries and inexperience, but our best meet had to be at the Hawkeye 10 Conference. That was really important to us because that meet was the one we make a point to do well at," said Coach Joe Ankenbauer. The cross country team's rewards weren't just handed to them on a silver platter. The boys and girls wentthrough hours of grueling practices, almost everyday after school. Every once in awhile, it would rain and they got a free day to relax. "The worst thing that we had to do this year for cross country practice was going up Titan Hill after a long day of sprinting and jogging," said senior Hilary Sadler. Overall the team's biggest achievement was 4th place at the all conference meet. With seven seniors leaving after this year many underclassmen are curious as to see what next season will hold for them.

Introduced new drills and equipment, the team was more than ready to start the season. The new improvements included new lane ropes and / flags for the pool. The swimmers also practiced with snorkels, which helped them to work on and improve I their strokes. 1 The girls swim team had a small team compared I to previous years. Even so, the four seniors, seven sophomores, and one freshman made a big splash. "I think we bonded more this year than the last. I think people felt more supported since the team was smaller:· said sophomore Megan Reif. The team kept their three year dual meet record, staying undefeated. With eleven returning swimmers you have to wonder what the lone freshman felt. "The upperclassmen were actually really nice. I didn't feel 1 excluded at all," said freshman Whitney Androy. With only one freshman going out for the team, Matt Howell proved to be the difference for the Titan boys swimmers. Howell broke the 500 yard freestyle record held by Colin Luth, at his first meet. He kept it going by breaking his own record over and over again almost every meet he swam the event, with a record best or 4:52. Howell also broke the Titan's pool record in the 200 yard freestyle. He ended up being the only one t make it to state on the team and finished 16th and 9th in the 200 yd and 500 yd freestyles respectively. Adding to the team's victories was the city championship. The boys won the meet for the first time in ten years. "It felt great because it is my senior year and I went out big," said city champ Duong Pham.

My favorite part is playing defense on the opposing team's best player," said Higgins. Photo by: Josh McNeely Every school has a rival. After years of stinging defeats, Harlan was the team to beat. All players went into game night with the hope that this would be the night that the Titans would finally beat the Cyclones. The night began with the stands packed and everyone on their feet anticipating the long awaited game. As the starting line up was announced, tensions peaked as choir members sang the national anthem. The buzzer sounded and the Titans were ready to attack. With a mixture of dribbling, passing, and shooting, the Titans continued to put more and more points on the board. "At half-time, the emotions were high because we knew we had a chance to break the Cyclone winning streak," said junior guard Nate Jones. The packed gym boomed with chants from the student section. That is until senior Marcos Perez was knocked down and hurt by a Cyclone post player. Suddenly, all the fans got down on one knee. Perez withdrew from the game and the students rose again. The team continued their fight minus one of the twin towers. In the end, the Titans put another victory in the books with a final score of 62-53. The excited fans sprinted from the stands to celebrate with the team. "The greatest moment was when we started storming the court. I was the first one out there because I left my seat with two seconds still on the clock," said junior D.J. Gnader. The Titans set many records this season, the most wins with a record of 21 -3 and claimed the title of Hawk 1 O Champs for the first time in school history. Pages by: Mackenzie Means and Tyler Johnson BE~~[( Athunderous voice reverberated off the gym walls, "Quick feet, hands up, trap trap trap!" One glance inside the gym and an entirely different world appeared out of the woodwork: girl's basketball. The strategic movements of feet and arms became hypnotic as the perspiring concentration was wiped away with the driest part of the jersey. What were the perks of partaking in this intense sport? "The food we have at the team dinners is always fantastic, plus, we get to hang out and just enjoy being with each other," said sophomore and post Hayleigh Hansen. While the food may have been great, the next night approached fast and the girls could hardly wait to lace up their shoes and storm the court. The varsity team had quite a year, ending the season with an 18 - 5 record. With the loss of five players, but the addition of seven, the girls were in high hopes of a successful season. "Our team really wanted to win the Hawkeye 10, and then of course our goal was to make it to State," said junior and post Kristin Waters. This team of 15 led the school to a greatly anticipated victory over the Denison Monarchs. "When we lost to Denison the first time in triple overtime it was hard because we'd played our hearts out. So when they came to our court we were ready for a little payback. It was a big win and we kept them from winning the conference. I think it really made us realize our team's potential and it felt pretty dang good," said junior and post Arielle Bowman. Though the highlights were many, sophomore and guard Kendra Forristall clearly recalled this season's finest moment for he(self. "My favorite part of this season was how close our team became, some get more playing time but we're a team and that's what really matters."

But the wrestlers started getting pumped up long before their matches began. Listening to music, jumping around and stretching were normal warm- up routines. "The moment I walk onto the mat I am focused and ready to go," said sophomore Tyler Butler. Screaming for teammates relieved stress before a match and got adrenalin going. "We do a lot of mental training to get focused for a match. Everyone pretty much has their own way of warming up. I just find something that makes me mad to use to my advantage during the match," said junior Kyle Mohr. Watching the 13 other matches helped them get focused on what needed to get done when their turn came around. The devotion of a wrestler is that of no other athlete. They go through the tough training and at the same time, the frustration of making sure to stay in their desired weight class. "I didn't have to cut any weight, so I had a GREAT season. While everyone else on the team was running, I was eating with all of the coaches," said junior Bret Baumbach. The competition to maintain Lewis Central's reputation of an outstanding wrestling program and record of most pinned state champions added pressure on the athletes. Joey Jerkovich, Elijah Sullivan, George Ivanov, Bret Baumbach, Josh Cottman, Alex Fauble, Justin Rau, and Derek Nightser all qualified to go to the Wells Fargo arena in Des Moines for State Competition. Nightser (189 lb.) and Ivanov (119 lb.) both placed third. Rau , Baumbach and Jerkovich all made it to finals where a few of the most intense matches were taken to the mats. Rau (171 lb.) and Baumbach (135 lb.) were second place state finalists and Jerkovich came out on top as the 103 lb class 3A State Champion. The never ending stories of the road trips, and hotel stays in Des Moines for state competition continued to be told by families, friends and supporting classmates. "I have been going to state for two years and it's always a lot of fun. Being in the arena and watching all of the parents q ,t o excited is real ly fun to watch and be a part of." said 1un1or Jessica Feller. GET RAU-DY In a pivotal match of the season, senior Justin Rau (171 lb.)attempts to turn his Skutt opponent over for a win. Rau made it to state three out of four years of his wrestling career.

Traditions spark the excitement of team bonding for the squad on these exciting days of athleticism and school spirit. First, the team meets up goes out to dinner. "We usually go to the mall to eat and goof around," said senior Adriene Hitchcock. Afterward, they usually gather at one of their houses to get their game faces on. Blue glitter and eye make-up give them the extra shine to sparkle on the field, court, or mat. Ribbons and curls top off their spirited look. Then, they hop in their cars and caravan to the school. "We drive on the road behind the field while honking our horns, playing loud music, and shaking our porn porns out the window so everyone knows we've arrived;· explained Hitchcock. In honor of good sportsmanship, the girls make little gifts for the opposing team's cheerleaders to welcome them to their turf. Once they've done their greeting, they head back to their side of the stadium to begin warm-ups. Throughout the game they dance and shout to raise the spirit of the crowd. "When the students cheer and show their support, it helps our sports teams and everyone has a lot more fun ," said junior Ashley Harris. At the end of every game, no matter the outcome, the girls finish with the "We are proud of you" cheer.

Eight of the 17 girls from LCDT knew that feeling including: juniors Shaley McKeever, Alysha Rau and Lora Riehle, sophomores Kealy Prine and Katie Thramer, and freshmen Tayler Snitchker, Taylor Fauble and Sarni Schafer. "It was great to be a freshmen and still get to go, because it's mostly juniors and seniors that go," said freshman Taylor Fauble. On the annual trip to state, they received all Division I ratings and had two of their soloists place out of 70 dancers. Sophomore Kealy Prine placed 8th and fresh· man Tayler Snitchker placed 2nd. "State is so much fun! The floor shook when all the girls screamed!" said junior Josh McNeely. Unity is something all teams strive for. "The team does so much together between practices, team bonding, trips and performances. Our team is so close because we see each other everyday; we are like a family. Once I made dance team, I knew I would do it all four years because I loved the close friendships that formed wit l my teammates!" said junior Alysha Rau. Bonding was another way this team became closer. One way the dance team bonded was by making signs for each other. They made these signs to try to avoid drama or conflict. Some said things like: Dancing with the feet is one thing but dancing with the heart is another. Dancing is the poetry of the heart, The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary· and Everyone brings something to the team but no one brings everything. "We don't have to worry about playing time because we're all equal; we can't rely 011 one per n,'' said fresh man Sarni Schafer. What to Wear Her Attitude First impressions are vital.

The Titan girls won C.B. Relays redeeming themselves after coming in a close second last year. The scoring may have come down to the final race, but the whole team contributed when it came to taking the meet. Placing high in all of their events, the team was neck and neck with the Saint Albert team. The girls placed third in the 4x400 meter relay that put them in the spot to win. Chanting "We are the Titans," they took their victory lap. "It felt good to win the meet because I didn't have the greatest senior season. It was a pleasant surprise," said senior Jenny Hall. The team also gained a new school record in the 400 meter hurdles. Freshman Natalie Olberding beat the old school record, and beat her own· twice. "I was really proud of myself, since I just came here from Saint Albert. I didn't expect to get a L.C. record. It's something I'll never forget," said Olberding.

Success: no, failure: definitely not, boring: way off. No, if you asked any of the players, more than likely the reply would have been "Fun." From newly created plays entitled the "Von Mende shimmy," to taking the meaning of the old saying, "go out there and have some fun" to a whole new level, the team had fun. It's nice, [having a play named after me] it leaves my mark on Lewis Central soccer. I appreciate that," said senior Tommy Von Mende. Nicknames were, as usual, created for most of the underclassmen. One of the team favorites was given to freshman Sam Moffatt, who came to be known as the one and only "Samu Mo' fat." "It started with my brother (senior Ben Moffatt) and I don't like it." Sam Moffatt says. When asked how it took hold on the soccer team, Sam had quite the story. "Well, I was playing JV and varsity one day, (the Harlan game) and I get hungry, so I ate some nachos at half-time. I don't care about the name much anymore, it doesn't bother me." Junior Kyle Larkin retells his side of the story. "Yeah that was pretty funny. Sid [Coach Leytham] saw him with the nachos and he kind a freake d o ut. S a m got scared and put the nac hos under the b ench, then Sid yelle·d at him 'What are you gonna do if Zane gets a concussion? Go in there with a dinner plate and a napkin on your chest?'

"Shoot the upper 90" coaches say on the sidelines. "Give and go through" is said countless times on the field, but no matter what the coaches say two yellow cards equal one red card. This season the girls on the varsity squad knew this math all too well, receiving their fair share of yellow cards. There were many ways to receive red and yellow cards including inappropriate language, rough play, and intentional slide tackles. Along with receiving a yellow card came ten minutes of sitting the bench until the player could be put back in the game. Red cards meant a player was ejected from the rest of the game and remained ineligible to play the next game. A red card was also issued when a player got two yellow cards. While red and yellow cards were a part of the game, a sense of humor came in handy for some of the players. "Being a Hawkeye 1 O camps is awesome but nothing is better than still being the depantsing champion of the world. "Khazickstan Forever!" said junior Abby Edwards. Being nearly undefeated put the Titans on the target to beat. The girls brought home the Hawkeye 1 O Championship title for the second year in a row. They came out with a winning season and 9-1 record. Pages by Kurstin Devine and Kaitlyn Connealy Photos By Josh McNeely Front Row: Brandon Wilson, Michael Kirchner, Jay Hildreth and Hunter Rogness.

All the varsity members from the year before gone each spot was up for grabs. And for the boys, with the more players going out, competition grew throughout the season. "The best psrt for me was the competition. It pushed mB to do the best I could and be the best I could be," said freshman Michael McGuire. Some special bonds formed during the season for many athletes. Friends became closer and new friendships formed. An even stronger bond formed with sisters junior Ashley and freshman Meghan Harris. "I like playing with my sister. By playing tennis we both get to do something we really Harris love while spending time together," said Meghan. A great friendship thrived on the boy's team between four year player Jess Boese and rookie Ryan Carlson. "This is my first year and I do it all for this guy right here,'' said Carlson gesturing to Boese. Although this is a sport where each player wins or loses by himself, it's also a sport all about the team. It takes five individual victories to win a meet. So as awesome as winning a match may feel, at the end of the night it came down to which team could pull through. "I like tennis because it is the only sport where you can shine as an individual and win as a team,'' said senior Kristi Gamble.

Be Patient Though it may not be the most exciting of spectator sports, golf proved itself to be a challenging, fun and sometimes frustrating game to play. "It takes a lot of patience. You can't take every shot seriously. If you have a bad shot or a bad roll you just have to let it go. Some people get all frustrated , but if you keep your cool you'll be better off," said senior Joey Jerkovich. The golfers had great scores and a lot of fun throughout the season. Many of them enjoyed the perks of the game. "Practice is short. No running. [We] get to miss a whole day of school a lot. We are always laughing, especially when Arielle quits three times a day then magically rejoins the team in seconds," said freshman Jessie Safarik. Though some may have made it seem like all fun and games, there were some difficulties that they had to overcome. "The hardest things in golf are being consistent with your swing, not throwing the clubs when you aren't shooting right and deciding whether to have fries before, during or after," explained freshman Becky Safarik. All in all, the players kept up the intensity all season. They worked hard, played hard, and laughed hard along the way. Pages by Caitlin Christensen What a day for a daydream - more like what a day for a rainstorm. The dedicated athletes participating in the 2008 Special Olympics, held at Iowa Western, faced the rainy conditions of the day head-on. Many schools didn't even bother to show up due to the weather, but Lewis Central athletes didn't mind a little wind and rain. The day started around nine in the morning with the opening ceremonies, torch lighting included. The early events such as the softball and tennis ball throws and the shot put were held indoors. Later events were able to be held on the track. On April 17th, 18Titans participated in the Southwest Iowa's Special Olympics, nine of which went to state. Those nine included Aaron Fish for the softball throw, Richard Fish forthe softball throw, Tylor Mueller for the 50m Dash, James Neeson for the softball throw, Matt Pedersen for the shot put, Peyton Poast for the 30m motorized race, Jordan Quick for the softball throw and Erik Warren for the tennis ball throw. Out of the fourteen southwest Iowa schools that competed, Lewis Central had the most competitors. When announcing schools before the games began, the announcer pointed out that 'Lewis Central took up a lot of the bleachers.' Competing wasn't the only thing on their minds though. "My favorite part was seeing my friends," said freshman Dillon Sterba. "I liked standing up and being recognized," said junior Heather Robertson. "I liked the softball throw," added junior Jessica Bogacz. Pages By: Jema Petersen and Andrea Hutchinson I GET 'R DONE!

Satisfaction (noun) - the feeling of pleasure that comes when a need or desire is fulfilled. For most teams winning a game or playing well would be enough to provide this feeling, but this season was about so much more. Using the motto "Never Satisfied" the boys pushed it to the limit everyday that they stepped onto the field. With two seniors and many underclassmen on the team, each player had different thoughts in mind. "I love knowing I can be a leader. This is my last year and I want to go out with a bang," said senior Cody Kempf. With the shortage of seniors, underclassmen were expected to take their game to the next level. "This year we really had to step it up as young athletes, but you can never give up on something you believe in," said sophomore Denver Lohnes. Athletes need inspiration to keep them motivated throughout the game. For some it was the drive to win, for others it was the thrill of playing in front of a crowd that kept them going. "The greatest feeling is playing underneath the lights with everyone watching you," said sophomore Alex Martinez. Making errors was just part of the game. "Baseball is a game of negatives. Each athlete needs to know how to control their actions and limit their mistakes. The team that makes the least mistakes will win the game," said junior Taylor Burton. Baseball is a game not about the individual but about the team, and with a strong team each individual will succeed. Together mistakes are forgotten and games are won. "You have to 'Flush It.' Don't think about your mistakes, shake them off and work hard because if you work hard, good things will happen," said sophomore Trevor Ryba.

"Baseball is a really fun sport. You have to be talented at what you do. We are a young team and a lot of improvements need to be made. The team goal is to win our conference and make it to sub state and hopefully go all the way to state. When we don't have games, we practice three hours a night. The conditioning is the only tiring part, but I like the feeling of being a key part of the team and doing my share. I wear the Titan colors with pride," said Sass. Catcher and sophomore Norman Taylor throws off his face mask as he waits for a possible toss in from the pitcher. "This season is different from others because our team is young and will be around for the next few years. We have a lot of talent and potential," said Taylor. OUT AT FIRST First base man junior Cory Elonich tags the runner at first. Elonich contributed through hard work and determination. "My main job is to catch the ball, but it's hard because I have to know all of the plays," said Elonich. I KEEP ON GOING Rounding out first, freshman Paityn Korner steps on over to second base. Korner played infield for the Titans. TEAMWORK Setting up the game plan, junior Kristin Waters, senior Allie Frost and junior Sammi Cedillo place their hands in the circle of teammates. Cedillo came to LC from Abraham Lincoln, now playing against the Titan's main competitors for the All City title. Junior Kristin Waters Starting the season off right, the softball team came out with a victory against Carroll. The team worked very hard before their first game and earned their win by giving it their all everyday at practices and preparing for the match. "We practiced a lot; we did drills to make our skills better," said junior Jessica Feller. Going into this season, the softball team had plenty of ' motivation to match the success from last year. Almost making it to state last year, the girls were determined to go all the way this year. "We are very motivated because we were so close last year. Now we really want it, it's our main goal," said sophomore Jordan Morgan. Holding the title of City Champs for three years in a row, the team had plenty of competition this season. Each school has had more and more motivation each season to win over the title, but Lewis Central continued to pull through. "We want to keep proving to AL that we are better than them no matter what they think, especially after we creamed them in the regional game last year," said sophomore Brittnie Kreiser. Staying in shape and running as many drills as possible at practices was important to the team in order to have the skills necessary to defeat the competition Practices ran for two and a half to three hours, five days a week. The extra work paid off sending the team to state competition. "We practiced really hard. We do diving drills a lot and push each other to stay motivated," said junior Kristin Waters. r , Gl1 ME IF fOU CAN After swinging toward the outfield, freshman Taylor Kenyon darts to first base.

From dances to plays, concerts to pep rallies, the Lewis Central Fine Arts Department ensured that high school was entertaining. Students spent their extra time creating outstanding shows and amazing functions. The leaders of tomorrow, Student Council and National Honors Society, put their heads together to bring student dances, candy cane fundraisers, and the always popular Mr. LC. The Toy Drive, Operation Bedtime, and Angel Tree were just some of the fundraisers that benefitted children and shelters in the area. Thanks to the Art Club, walls in the hallways were no longer white. Colorful murals of musical notes and dancing filled the walls by the choir room. Speaking of the choir room, songs boomed from inside daily. Visitors heard songs such as "Just around the River Bend" from the movie Pocahontas. After hours and hours of careful planning, long Saturdays, and difficult construction, tech days paid off. Productions of Broadway hits Thieves and Godspell from the Drama Department brought audiences both comical and tragic adventures. This year, sporting events were a little louder with the ,band's own version of "What's This?" from the classic, A Nightmare Before Christmas and Eye of the Tiger . . . · With everything going on, it was hard to remember it all, P...--- --::.--: but the newspaper and yearbook staff were on it.

It was the students' show now, the test of true talent. The theater doors open, and seven weeks worth of work pour into the audience . . A whirlwind of relationships hits the stage. A young teacher named Sally, played by Jessica Formanek, finds herself caught between her declining marriage and her love for teaching. Her husband Martin, played by Caleb Housley, struggles to move on from his complicated past and live in the present. Because of Martin and Sally's relationship, many of the characters' lives were changed forever. But before these scenes from the past could take place, students had to step up to the plate to maintain this tradition of excellence. Opening night was the product of something much larger though, a process few people see. The seven week process, and countless hours of work produced a revolving building, a 12 foot balcony, and two patios. The majority of this construction took place on Tech Days. "Tech days are on Saturdays, and you usually spend between 4-12 hours building, sawing, painting, etc. You have a lot of time to bond with the other team members," said senior and returning member, Brett Coon. In addition to the set, actors busied themselves creating the play itself. The foundation of any activity is practice. The Thieves team practiced for three hours everyday after school, or during all-calls, which is when everyone in the team would meet. Actors spent the time memorizing, rewriting lines, and all-in-all just basking in anxiety. The saying, "the destination compares little to the journey" proves to be incredibly true in the 2007 production of Thieves. Students came out of this process feeling just a little bit differently about the world, and a little more aware. And that my friends, is what makes the entire journey worthwhile. Pages by: Mackenzie Means and Lauren Petri BE ~elodius Aspotlight hit the top of the abandoned church stairs as the booming voice of God, played by sophomore Zach Pettepier, filled the auditorium. This set the stage for the production of "Godspell." As actors donned with colorful outfits took the stage, a plethora of emotions took place. Disciples playfully acted out parables from the Bible as Jesus, played by junior Ben Rausch, led the disciples in the Christian way of thinking. The show began with John the Baptist, played by Zach Mailahn, frantically trying to break through the barriers of the modern day world. Mailahn preached of the coming of Jesus to the masses, who eventually started to catch on. As disciples gathered around Jesus to receive communion, the once clowned clad ensemble members became the essence of Satan, accusing and trying to anger Jesus. As Jesus took the full sized cross from their hands, choosing to give himself so that others could live, the ensemble members lifted him onto the cross. As Rausch belted out the finale song, many people, onstage and off, lost themselves in the scene. Audience members wiped away tears as ensemble members and disciples carried Jesus through the park gate where he disappeared as the spotlight hit the top of the now new church stairs. Actors busily transformed back into the peC?ple of a modern day world, walking throughout the audience, oblivious to the world around them. Rausch, now in modern day clothes, handed a flower to disciple, Kristen Schweer, and simply said "this is the beginning." The show ended with the entire cast singing "Beautiful City," a song about getting a fresh start and maintaining a unity between all people.

''The song was easy to get into, but it was hard not to laugh," said sophomore Jordan Morgan. Photo by: Anne Morgan The lights within the auditorium dimmed as the full fledged conversations simmered to hushed voices. Rows of high school students filed onto the risers and silence followed. Directors Brian Johnson and Tamra Nally walked onto the stage and faced the rows of students. The baton was lifted in suspension, then took off with the music. The Lewis Central Vocal Department has always been known for its excellence, and this year was no exception with the addition of many talented students. "What I like most about the choir concerts was showing up late to every one, but I always managed to be in the right spot on the risers," said senior Curtis Dreager. While the concerts were the final product, the real work was done in class. Three class periods a day were devoted to the freshmen, concert and chamber choirs. This year's freshmen brought a new kind of energy to the choir atmosphere. "They have such a willingness to learn; it's an exciting class," said Nally. Throughouttheiryearthey learned breathing techniques, how to shape their vowels, and how to read basic notes. "Choir was harder this year because you actually have to open your mouth and sing the songs. In middle school we kind of just sat there," said freshman Kelsay Kipe. The concert choir came out with a group of about 80 students attending All City Choir Festival this winter. Having more students attend made all of the students more eager to go. Students all across the city took a bus to Thomas Jefferson High School and were directed by a chosen conductor all day. That night they performed a concert for all of the parents. "We learned good posture, air support and dynamics. It was fun because all the schools act together," said sophomore Nolan Mescher. Each student came out of the classroom a little more prepared for the future than they were before they walked in. THE PRESSURE'S ON Putting emotion into her solo, senior Rachel Schultz sings her heart out. "Whenever I sing a solo, I feel confident until about 30 seconds before. I then start to get really nervous and my hands start to shake a little. After I begin to sing the solo, the nervous feeling goes away and I just have fun with it."

The music department just happened to be a big part of the show. "And that's cool," says junior Jared Juel. The Titan Jazz orchestra played for a new audience. The video was available toi view on WOVl/T's website, www.wowt.com. "Nobody else would raise their hand to be interviewed when Malorie [Maddox] asked," said sophomore Kyle Wineland, "so I decided to jump in." Malorie Maddox interviewed three different departments: music, pottery, and engineering.The music being played was lively and well rehearsed. "Playing for Malorie was very exciting," stated instructor, Andy Walters, "Everyone knew their part and played like the champions I know them to be." After interviewing Mr. Walters and sophomore Kyle Wineland, the cameraman took video of each individual section, getting close-ups of their instrument, shoes and their sheets of music. The segments were used throughout the taping for fun little sneak peeks. "When you are in jazz orchestra you have to be serious," said sophomore Molly Cox, "It was really hard to play and not laugh while the camera was in front of my keyboard, going in all different directions." The performance had to come to an end, and after playing for twenty minutes the orchestra changed out of their dress clothes and went back to their classes. It was an exciting experience for all. "It was weird watching myself on the television," said senior Kristen Parent "But it was the first time I have ' watched myself on the news. It was exhilarating to watch the performance. I actually saw everyone play. We normally don't watch each other. It is getting yourself to play the right notes and knowing that the other players will do theirs too." The camera crews went on to tape in the pottery and engineering classes, but the music just wasn't the same.

Photo by· Mackenzie Means I t's about that adrenaline rush you get from performing on stage, competing with other schools, and meeting new people who share the same interests. It's about expressing yourself with singing and dancing. It's about putting on a pound of makeup and showing off that inner diva or diva. Lewis Corporation was all of . those things, and much more to those involved with it. Performing was only the half of it, the better half anyway. Corp rehearsal started in the last week of July. This was referred to as "hell week" by members of the ensemble. "It's actually a lot of fun, despite not having air conditioning," said sophomore Andrew Gulden. The week ended with a performance put on for parents and family. Once school started up, the group met once a week and the occasional Saturday. Rehearsals were split between learning four unique music pieces, and learning difficult choreography. With the addition of Choreographer Stephen Todd, students had high hopes for their dance moves. "Our choreography was amazing, and Stephen brought a unity and stability to our group that we hadn't had in previous years," said senior Michael Lively. As the year progressed, competition season drew near and the hard work began to pay off. "The best moment was making finals at Grand Island. Everyone was completely shocked when they announced us. There was a three second delay and then a collective breath taken in," said senior Morgan Wolff. Moments like this are what linger years after high school. The split seconds captured forever in time. "Corp was an amazing experience; I wouldn't trade it for the world," said senior Zach Mailan summing up the season.

It could come from a dream, an interesting-looking person, a childhood memory, song lyrics or even a cloud of smoke drifting across the afternoon sky. It could be any- : thing that sparks the imagination of a creative mind. Once . the idea has become more solid and thought through, it's time to bring life to the vision. In pottery, project-making was a long process. First, the clay was made. ''To begin we take big fifty pound bags of clay powder, and mix them in a big drum in the back. From there we, take a couple of the buckets of recycled clay and throw 1 it in the mixer with a bunch of the powder in the drum, and that mixes it all up. Once it's all mixed we take it to the pug mill, which is basically a big drill then removes all the air and kind of compacts it, makes it all homogenous. Then we make big bricks out of it," explained senior Rick Devoss. Next the project is planned and sculpted. 'When I made my "Let it Be" project, to start off with I picked out a font from the internet that I liked. From there, I made big letters with that font. And then, I rolled out the clay. I also mixed a bunch of sand in the clay to make it stronger. Then I cut it out and let it dry a bit. Next, I slip and scored the 'B-E' to the base and cut out the 'Let it' and slip and scored that to its base. So then we bisque fired it in the kiln," continued De Voss. After the project was fired the first time, it was ready to be glazed or painted. ''The painting was next, which was probably the hardest part. I decided to do it with air brush because I'm not a good painter. So I taped off the parts that I painted different colors. Then to finish it off, I hand-painted the lyrics of 'Let it Be' on it," said De Voss. Devoss, like rnany other artists started with a Vision within that he transformed into art.

They were the ones who created the yearbook with the impossible goal of including everyone in it, and documenting the events people will remember 30 years from now. For the first time in Lewis Central history, the yearbook was published in full color. ''The yearbook has personality because it is in color; people like color because it makes them happy," said junior Andrea Hutchinson, one of the many underclassffien that made up the yearbook staff. The fact that there were only two seniors on staff did not lessen the quality. "It was a really fun year being the only "American" senior. Having all these underclassmen make my senior yearbook is weird, but they have done a great job with it. I'll miss this staff;' said photgraphy editor senior Zane Brugenhemke. Co-editor Josh McNeely agreed, ''They listen to me sometimes when I give them orders, that's fun. And I can depend on them:' Last fall, the scoreboards for baseball, softball and soccer had to be updated before the books could be distributed. That is when a ll o f t h e friendsh ip and c omraderie pays off. The staff came together to make the necessary repairs with stickers produced by the publisher. "We call them sticker parties; we try to make it fun like an assembly line. The stickers were awesome," said junior Jema Petersen who helped place over 3000 stickers in the 2007 books. With skill, imagination and dedication, the yearbook staff tried to make sure that 20 years from now, students can relive their high sch ool memories with just a flip of a page.

"It's like a family," said assistant editor Kaitlin Carlson, "as soon as you enter the door, you feel welcon:ied." Ads Editor Lindsey Lawrence continued this train of thought, "Everyone is so close. It's just a place for everybody to connect, and everyone knows each other. It's a really good mix of people." Working in room 401 was often hectic with writers trying to meet deadlines and fearing the wrath of editor in chief Amanda Goeser, ''This year I started making "hit lists" for staff members that didn't make deadline. Then I would bring cupcakes every so often so thatthe reporters didn't remember me as the editor with the hit lists." These reporters strive '1o make sure that the paper is interesting and that there's stuff in it that kids like;' explained reporter Shelby Klepfer, "A lot of kids don't pick up a normal paper, but a school paper relates to them." This 'work' included not only writing, but also creating the layout for each page. The staff spent countless hours after school working on layout to make each page as perfect as possible. "It's like an extracurricular activity;' said junior Maria Jones. "It's fun." The photographers expressed their talent through pictures of their classmates. "My favorite part of newspaper is taking pictures because I can express myself without having to write. Writing is frustrating, and I can never say what I mean to say," said co-photography editor Hayley Perrin. Josh Stroeher, co-photography editor explained. "It's chill and I enjoy what I do.

"Sarah Waldron's story about E-coli was my favorite this year because of the headline Your Next Bite of Food Could Be Your Last. It was on the front page of our third issue. -senior Amanda Goeser. /s there anything in your food that could make you very sick or even kill you? Surprisingly, it lives inside your intestines and helps your body break down and digest the food that you eat. Certain strains of it can travel from the intestines into the blood which can cause a rare but serious infection. If you are still clueless as to, what bacteria I am referring to the abbreviated name for the bacteria is E. coli or Escherichia coli. "My favorite story is From Small Pup, to Top Dog. I like it because it was great to have Josh explain about being a freshman in a positive way. The way he wrote the story was very up beat:· junior Taylor Basch Do you remember the first day of your freshman year? For some of you it wasn't too long ago, but then again, maybe it was ages ago. All the feelings you had: the excitement, the happiness, and even the fear. Oh, what a wonderful four years it was, waking up every morning thinking about that final year of high school before I began my trek into adulthood. Ha, yeah right. What was so special about senior year that made me wish I was there? What makes it so amazing? The truth is freshman year was the amazing year. Once I got over all the excitement and all the butterflies in my stomach finally departed, freshman year is where the fun was at. LAB TIME "My favorite story was Once Forgotten, Now Held Dear by Athena Burns because we sometimes lose sight of what's important, (this story) really opened up a new perspective." -junior-Kaitlin Carlson The point I'm trying to make is that often we forget the things we should be thankfulfor. My Grandma Thomas was the kindest and wisest woman I knew. She affected my life in ways I'm just beginning to understand. We sometimes lose sight of what's truly important. While we may forget to be grateful for these things, that doesn't mean they're not still important to us. And sometimes, all it takes is a fond memory to make you remember how truly thankful you are.

Photo by: Mackenzie Means BE HR.LC There are many different talents a person can have that make them stand out from the crowd. Some of the senior boys found that their talents existed along the lines of singing, dancing, or playing instruments. They chose talents that they were sure would win them the first 15'lace position and the title of "Mr. LC." Talents varied from new and old with some creating talents they never knew they had and others who chose talents that they have had for years. "I've played guitar for over five years now and taught myself how to play," said senior Blake Whatcott. Whatcott played the electric guitar for his act because it was one of his favorite talents. The prizes for the competition were nothing of extravagance. They varied from little pink wands to rubber chickens, princess crowns, umbrellas sashes and flower pots. "I thought it was pretty cool; I got bubbles and a frisbee for getting second place," joked senior Curtis Dreager. The five candidates for the Mr. LC competition chose their act. Some of them practiced hard, working to improvetheirperformanceeverychance theygot.Others just threw it together in a matter of minutes. "I practiced once right before I had to go and that was in the car on the ride there with Matt," claimed senior Cody Kempf. "Ben, Stephen, and I practiced hard. We went into the choir room and practiced quite a bit and used the down time during class," said senior Curtis Dreager. The "Blues Brothers" pulled through in the end giving the leader of the group, Zane Brugenhemke the title of Mr.LC. "We were really close to not being able to do it, but with the last minute addition of Daniel Rieck on bass, we were able to pull it off," said Brugenhemke. "It felt really weird singing in front of that many people since I'm not in choir and that was only the second time I have ever sang in front of a crowd. I want to make sure Adam Evans gets a lot of credit because he kind of stole the show for me."

It prevents me from making decisions people would think, 'well they're on NHS, why are they doing that?':· - Kristin Parent Vice President Treasurer Leadership. It's a powerful term, with unlimited possibilities. Those special individuals who hold the "gift'' of leadership come few and far between. Lewis Central recognized the leaders found within its own walls and gave them the opportunity to embrace that trait and grow into reputable young adults. That is, if they were willing to stand up and work for it. Two organizations that honed leadership skills included National Honor Society and Student Council. "StuCo" and NHS" as they were commonly referred to were esteemed in different ways. One was based on grades and community service and the members were chosen by a select committee of teachers. The other had members elected by their peers- their fellow classmates. The first step to qualify, was to make the effort and get your name on the ballot. Not everyone was chosen, so it was an elite few who made either association. Both groups held activities throughout the year that took planning and organization. That's when the leaders stepped up and showed their true colors. NHS supported events like the blood drive, canned food and toy drives, took times at swim meets, baby-sat during TA meetings and Student/Teacher Conferences, and helped run Relay For Life. Each month members of NHS volunteered five hours of their time to make the community a better place. Stu Co organized and put together each of the three formal dances. New this year was March Madness, an informal dance. They also planned lunches between students and Mr. Story, coordinated the beloved Dodge Ball Tournament, helped buy books for needy children via Operation Bedtime Story, and were responsible for the crowning of Mr. LC. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing," said Edmund Burke, a prominent 18th century author. Student Council and National Honor Society distinguished and developed members of humanity, whose characters were a direct reflection of what Lewis Central stands for.
