Opening
efore the official start of the 2012-2013 school year, Antler supporters in the community wanted to with a fresh red stripefrom the front door to the gym, shiny silver lettering that boldlyname, and new tables and flooring which showed us howwere to them. Flat screen televisions and in the commonsarea, and students poured in to see that the community also supported , and even laid new carpet in the hallways and classrooms.Students got to see a fresh Elkhorn High School to help , andthey did not know it could shine so brightly. Whether the students walked to their firstclasses of their career or their last, the expectations of the school academically andathletically both made us up high. This senior class was the last to know the two Elkhorn High Schools as one, and sawfriendships turn into rivalry, but they also learned to send a message to the other studentsin the school to always keep fighting, push their way to the top, and

elcome back. The school year began. Changing our Colors from
summer to fall, gave us a symbol of what the school year had in store for us.
Football games demonstrated school spirit from the students as we were
Edging our EnemiEs to make it to the semi-finals. Competitiveness stood
out in all sports, and fans were Seeking our Stars on the volleyball court,
cross country and golf courses as well as the softball field. Even though they
didn't reach their highest goals along the way, they Pushed our Passion for
Antler pride to the highest level. Activities like Pep Club Soaked our Stands
with fans. SADD was Serving our StudEnts well by showing that our
decisions to make good choices could be as fun as Vala's Pumpkin Patch and the
Amazing Race. Our talented musicians were Singing Our Songs of Beauty
and the Beast all the way to sold out crowds. While all this was happening, we
were Juggling our Jobs as students, employees and friends, and making us be
as one of a kind as we are
Harvesting our HappinEss.

lass color day, also known as frosh day, was around foryears, but froshing was slowlybeing stopped, and thefreshmen fear lifted for many. Freshmen had varyingopinions from one another onthe topic when it came to theday of froshing. "I was really paranoid allday, I kept looking over myshoulder," Seth Samek, 9, said. Paige Korth, 9, on the otherhand, was very laid back about

the day. "I wasn't worried at all,and I didn't avoid thebalcony," Korth said. Mr. Ford had told thesenior class that if they didn'tfrosh, they would be able tothrow a pie in his face.Unfortunately, that didn'twork out. "The seniors ruined it, Ididn't believe it was going tohappen anyway," CalvinStara, 12, said. "I truly believe the
freshmen got lucky. As afreshman, I got my hands ducttaped and ended up gettingpushed down the stairs," Starasaid. Class color day slowly turnedinto something it's not; itbecame dangerous. Then thestaff had to put an end to it. "I was nervous that it wouldbe an invitation," Samek said,"but I was told I had nothing toworry about."Story by: Jayden Watts

Hard Work Pays OffGirls golfers practiced all summer for the fall season.
THIS ISN'T PUTT PUTTLining up her putt, Morgan Lindsay, 11, eyes theline she wants to use for her putt. Crouched downto wait for the other players to putt, she visualizedher shot. "The greens were fast, but they wereeasy to read", said Lindsay.Photo By: Nicki Hendrix
OFF THE TEEFinishing her round, Jacey Hilbers, 10 , swingsthrough her last tee shot. After her partners teedoff the final hole grew shorter. "My drives werereally good for the first meet", said Hilbers.Photo By: Nicki Hendrix
JUST A CHIP AND A PUTTChipping onto the green, Jill Parlor, 11, is on herlast hole. Proud of her shot she approached thegreen with a smile. "I knew it was the last hole andI just wanted to finish," Parlor said.Photo By: Nicki Hendrix
uring the summer months off from school, most people relax and enjoy the summersun, but the Elkhorn girls golf teamgot the best of both worlds becausethey are able to soak up the sun whilepracticing for the fall golf season.Nicki Hendrix, 12, practiced andworked at the same time. "I got luckybecause I got a job at a golf course.One of the perks is I can golf for free,"Hendrix said. Senior Ariel Lennard, 12, was onthe team since her freshman year andunderstood how important practicecould be. "I practiced a lot thissummer. Probably once a week,"Lennard said. Gabby Carollo, 11, knew how
important practice could be becauseover the summer "I practiced almosteveryday, and also played intournaments to get me prepared", saidCarollo. Gabby practiced hard in thesummer and earned her a spot as thenumber one golfer for most of theseason. Jill Parlor, 11, practicedeveryday and played in tournaments. For practice most people saidIndian Creek would be the best placebecause of their driving range,chippinggreen, and two putting greens, yetplaying is different. "Tiburon, inGretna, is probably my favorite toplay," said Carollo and Parlor. The worst thing about golf isn't theextremely hot, or cold weather, eventhe bad score a person can get "it's the
horrible tan lines I get from my shirts andshorts," Carollo said. Most of the girls were most excited toget together and see each other from beingseparated over the long summer months.The first practice was always the best forstories from the summer, but "I miss theteam dinners and car rides with the team,"Lennard said. Others were excted becuase"I get to play the sport I love and see myfriends everyday, who are my secondfamily in the fall", Carollo said. Overall, the team agreed that the 2012golf season was on one the best for theteam and individual girls, for "coming insecond at conference and districts,winning other meets and seeing individualgirls medal was the best part", Parlor said.

ot everyone could be a celebrity. It had always been hard for people to get theirnames out there in the world. One waykids became famous was over theinternet, on YouTube. One ElkhornHigh School student, Ryder Bischof, 10,took advantage of his gaming skills and
used YouTube to make a career outof it. He had his own YouTube channelwhich had over 200 videos, and over400,000 views. His channelconsisted of video game reviews,along with game tutorials. "I showpeople the best way to play thegame," Bischof said. His passion for video gamesstarted at a young age. When he wasjust 5 years old, he had alreadybegun to play them. His YouTubechannel, however, didn't start until2009. "I decided that even though itwas fun just playing the games, I
wanted to makerevenue," Bischofsaid. Because he hadso many viewers,Bischof actuallymade profit fromhis videos. "Iusually make about$150 to $300 a month, it justdepends on how many views Iget,"Bischof said. He had a wide variety of videogames that he reviewed. Theyincluded: Minecraft, Left For Dead 2,Starcraft 2, Arma 2, and Call ofDuty: Black Ops 2. His favoritegames were League of Legends and Day Z. "Ilike to play games that are action-packed andintense,"Bischof said.Although he enjoyed having an easy way ofmaking money, he wanted to get a real job whenhe turned 16. "I like that I make money frommy channel," Bischof said, "but I want to have amore serious job when I'm older."Story By: Delia Hill

ince five years old, TannerSovereign had been playing stringinstruments. He played violin, guitar,banjo, mandolin, piano, and of coursehis voice. "My favorite part about being able toplay all these instruments is the places itcould take me in the future," Sovereignsaid. He didn't play in a band, but he didhave violin concerts once or twice amonth. His first playing debut was at abar somewhere in the middle of
Nebraska. Sovereign said he woulddefinitely want to be in a band later inlife because it sounded like a lot of fun. "My grandma was the first person toteach me how to play; she taught mepiano," Sovereign said. Besides Sovereign, his grandma wasthe only other person to play aninstrument. His mom and sister onlysang. Music meant a lot to him becausehis grandma's side of the family wasvery musical and it helped him connect. "I love to play the instruments I dobecause I like to hear the music theymake," said Sovereign. He enjoyed playing the violin themost because he could jump into anysong and just start playing. Guitar waswhat he plays the most; he just startedlearning how to play guitar and hereally liked the way it sounded. He took private lessons from Marsha
Brown at her home about once aweek. "I want playing all theseinstruments to take me on stage,"Sovereign said, "that way I can playfor people." Story by: Lauren Myrberg

ake sure to thank your patiEnt parents and gEntle guardians for all their love
and support. All the knowledge you've been given these past twelve years will help you become the
best you can be and succeed in all your Exciting EndEavours. Being the last class to have
been in the school before it split will stick with the seniors and all the memories that were created
with the ever famous "South SidErs." It's been a long tweleve years but we stuck together gaining
friends along the way and finding ourselves in each other. Before accepting that diploma and saying
"Good- Bye" thank a teacher and always remember your Antler roots. Congratulations class of 2013!
But upon leaving, welcome the seniors of the class of 2014 and maybe even frosh someone one last
time. Whether you're getting one grade closer to graduationg High School or venturing out into the
world Elkhorn has done their best to Aid our AntlErs.
