FLASH Issue 8
From The Editors...
Well, guys, the school year is almost over. It feels like everything is happening at once: Sports, field
day, banquet, finals, graduation. Everyone’s busy. But in these final weeks of the 2015-2016 school year,
don’t forget that you probably still have homework to do, you still have to clean your room, and you should
still set aside a little time to read your favorite publication, the FLASH. In this issue, you can read about our
new staff membor, Mr. Fox, the 2016 Presidential race (as of a couple weeks ago, sorry guys), tour choir, and,
of course, you can read about some of our own beloved seniors. Hope you enjoy this issue!
Hope you finish out the year strong! I believe in you.

The Tour Choir recently swept through its annual route of concerts over Spring Break, this time
heading west. It was one of the youngest choirs Prof Reim has ever traveled with, including two freshman.
But we all kept our game faces on and balanced fun with responsibilities. Each congregation along the way
welcomed us with smiles and piles of food, and not one stomach growled the whole week. It wasn’t until
Loveland, Colorado, that we ran into difficulties, getting snowed in at the parsonage. But there’s no
amount of time that a couple card games can’t fill. Coughing spread quickly, but Michaela Naumann made
her rounds with bottles of cough syrup to stifle the epidemic before it could shut down the operation. My
personal highlights from the tour were watching Drew limp around (after spraining his ankle on a curb),
bopping around Estes Park in the Rockies, playing Catchphrase on the bus, and singing at an assisted living
center in Colorado. Seeing how much of an impact each concert makes on the audience is amazing; I was
constantly amazed by how appreciative and thankful everyone I met was. We’re all grateful to have the
opportunity to carry such a message. I’ll never forget the times I’ve had during my years in the choir (and
my eardrums will never recover from the altitude changes).

Spring carries with it a sense of freedom. After being imprisoned indoors all winter, cracking open
windows and seeing green is a much-needed refresher. It helps that when good weather comes, baseball
is never far behind. Whether you’re at the plate, cheering from the bleachers, or picking dandelions in
right field, you’ll need some music to go with your mood. That’s where we come in. For this playlist, we’ve
tried to embody that carefree, summertime spirit by picking songs that have some sunshine in them.
With help from some outside sources (thanks, Jon), we chose five modern songs and five older ones,
fitting the usual template. As always, you can check out this playlist or music from past issues on Spotify
by searching for the username flashplaylists. Happy listening!

Presidential Race 2016
Riley Sotnyk
It’s 2016, and unless you’ve successfully been avoiding news channels, social media, or the Principles of
Democracy class, you know that the presidential race is happening right now. If you’re a local, maybe
you noticed that your state voted earlier in April. Just in case you’re not sure what’s going on, we’ll give
you a quick run-down.
To decide who the Republican and Democratic parties will select as their nominees, the states go
through a rigorous process of primaries and caucuses to assign delegates to a candidate. The candidate
who reaches the ‘magic number’ of delegates first for each party wins the nomination for that party
(Republican: 1,237 delegates needed; Democrat: 2,383 delegates needed).
1. Donald Trump
A) Republican
B) From Manhattan, New York
C) President of Trump Organization
2. Ted Cruz
A) Republican
B) Houston, Texas
C) U.S. Senator for Texas
3. John Kasich
A) Republican
B) From Westerville, Ohio
C) Governor of Ohio
4. Hillary Clinton
A) Democrat
B) From Chappaqua, New York
C) Former Secretary of State and former First
Lady
5. Bernie Sanders
A) Democrat
B) From Burlington, Vermont
C) U.S. Senator for Vermont
6. Gary Johnson
A) Libertarian
B) From Taos, New Mexico
C) Former Governor of New Mexico
7. Jill Stein
A) Green Party member
B) From Lexington, Massachusetts
C) Physician
3
The Democratic party looks as if Hillary Clinton
will win the nominee with needing only around
600 more delegates out of the 1,938 delegates
left. However, Donald Trump, the leader of the
Republican party right now needs around 500
more delegates to win the Republican party and
there are only 854 delegates left for the
Republicans. If Donald Trump doesn’t get enough
votes to win the party, it will go to a brokered
convention. A brokered convention is a situation
where a candidate doesn’t get a majority of their
party’s delegates. The first vote is then placed by
the delegates to the nominee who won them.
When that shows no real majority, the
convention is brokered. The next vote then
happens and the delegates can vote for
whomever they desire. This voting keeps
occurring until one nominee has won a majority
of the party’s delegates.
We’ve taken a poll of the 32 seniors to get a
general consensus of who the ILHS class of 2016
would vote for.
Depression
Luke Mayhew
About 25% of people suffer from major depression at some point during their high school career.
Obviously, this isn’t a good thing when you see the numbers, but what exactly is depression? What is it that
we are dealing with?
Depression is prolonged feelings of loneliness, emptiness, or anger. These emotions can last for
several weeks, months, or even longer. It is more than a bad day, or feeling angry at your friend because
they said something that you didn’t want to hear. That isn’t what I’m focusing on, although these will
probably help those people as well.
Some signs of depression can include:
A loss of enjoyment in several activities you used to love.
Having problems getting to sleep or staying asleep.
Having difficulty thinking straight or making decisions.
If you are struggling with depression yourself, talk to an adult. Depression is treatable. However,
there are some things you can do on your own to help. My number one advice would be to get out and be
active. Depression festers on loneliness, and it focuses your thoughts on yourself. “I feel angry because....”
Or “I feel empty because….” We humans like to focus on ourselves, and it doesn’t help depression. Getting
out and being active can help get you out of the me, me, me, mindset.
If you know someone who is struggling with depression, there are things you can do to help them.
Depression isn’t something that will go away overnight, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
The Don'ts
Telling them that they need to “Shape up and fix their life” will only make the problem worse. It
isn’t something that they can flip a switch for and be fine.
Misunderstanding the fact that their problems are very real. If you think they “just need to suck it
up,” they will believe they are more alone than ever before. Can you imagine what it would be like if your
closest friend told you he didn’t believe you actually had a problem? It isn’t a good feeling.
Logic won’t work with a depressed person. You cannot “prove” to them why what they feel is crazy
or irrational. Depressed people’s minds function in a completely different way than ours do, and
something that makes perfect sense to you may not get through to them.
The Do’s
Go out of your way to SHOW them that you love them. If you say “I care about you and I will support
you,” that is one thing, but words only go so far. However, if you go and buy a Snickers for your friend
because you know it’s his favorite, it will have a much greater impact on him.
Just be there for them. Words can’t fix everything, and sometimes people just need someone
present. It really does make a difference, and it will affect them positively.
Finally, prayer. Prayer is an amazing thing that God has given to us for our benefit, and you can talk
to Him about yourself or your friends. 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.”
You can take your problems and worries to God, because He loves you and cares about you more deeply
than anyone can even fathom.

Gunny’s Report
Track & Field
Gunnard Sippert
For years and years at ILHS, the only sports offered for the spring season were found on the diamond.
Four years ago, however, an addition was made in the list of end-of-year athletics; our Track and Field team
was established back in 2013. Partially created because of the incredible talent of now-graduated distance
runner Darin Lau (as told in his WEAU 13 Gordy’s Athlete of the Week segment), the program now has over
twenty high schoolers which run, jump, and throw for it. The large amount of success of the team has been
impressive in the first three years. State appearances have been made by long-distance runners Darin
(2013,’14), Caleb Oster (‘13) and Abby Naumann (‘14, ‘15), sprinter Abi Bernthal (‘13, ‘14), long jumper
Kayla Barthels (‘15), and a 4x400 relay team (‘14) of Rhiannon Roehl, Kayla Barthels, Riley Noeldner, and Abi
Bernthal. Lau won the 2-mile race in both 2013 and 2014 (State Record).
Now turning our focus to this year, Barthels is the only current athlete with a trip to State under her
belt. Don’t let this deceive you, however, as the team has an impressive stock of talent this year.
Runners
With more students on the team than ever, Immanuel is now able to participate in a variety of track
events. The Lancers runners whose results should have an eye kept on them throughout the season are Alex
Garvens (100m, 300 hurdles), Barthels (100), Marcus Noeldner (200, 400), Jesse Noeldner (200, 400) and
Dan Lau (1600, 3200).
ILHS is also sending out three impressive relay teams this year. The girls 4x200 team of Cassidy
Noeldner, Barthels, Garvens, and Rebecca Krause, with alternates Julianna Hein and Dannie Gamble, has
taken first at each of their two meets so far.
The boys 4x200 (Matt White, Sam Oster, Sean Lillo, Gabe Plath) and 4x400 (Calvin Ryan, Austin
Karow, M. Noeldner, J. Noeldner, and alternate Adam Fiechtner) have each taken first once this year. The
4x400 team also has a second-place finish.
Jumpers
Senior Kayla Barthels will be looking to return to State in the long jump after she qualified for the
highest meet possible last year. She is joined by fellow senior Brooke Wendland (high jump) who has twice
made it to Sectionals, the last step to climb before State. Freshman Julianna Hein will also be participating in
the high jump. Cassidy Noeldner will be aiming to have a successful season in the triple jump along with
Wendland (2014 Sectional qualifier).
On the boys side of things, senior Calvin Ryan (5th place
finish at Gilman meet) will be leading the long jumpers. Sean
Lillo (3rd place finish at Eleva-Strum) has been the Lancers’ top
high jumper through two meets.
Throwers
Phil Schaller is in his fourth season of Track and Field; it’s
been a successful one so far for the senior. He has taken 2nd and
5th in shot put in the first two meets of the year. Nick White
leads the Lancers in discus (5th place finish at Gilman).
Hannah Fox has been the top girl for shot put thus far, and
fellow sophomore Kendra Naumann has led the girls in discus.

A Senior’s Perspective on Freshmen
Riley Sotnyk
Just a forewarning to everybody that this is the first article I have written, so it probably will be bad. But here it
goes. When I walked into my first day of school as a freshman, I was excited but also nervous. I was the lowest person
on the totem pole of high school. Going from “big dog” of grade school, to lowest person in high school is a big jump.
When I was a freshman, every once in awhile we heard seniors tell us that we needed to “learn your position” or do “fillin-the-blank” ‘cause we were freshman. I can remember specific days when certain seniors (not going to name names)
had done stuff to us, said something to us, or made us do things because of our inferior status. The senior guys were
definitely meaner to the freshmen guys than the senior girls to the freshman girls. If you were a dormie, the chances of
feeling “bullied” rise a lot.
My thoughts on the seniors now are definitely going to be biased, but I will try my best to be fair. I think the
freshmen now and the freshmen to come are going to have it easier than people did before them. I felt I had it easy
when I was a freshmen compared to stories I heard from my parents and people their age. So, to the freshmen of this
year, if you think you are being bullied by us or feeling low on the totem pole, don’t be afraid to stand up to us. We don’t
bite. We could just be feeling what most senior classes feel. Being the “big dogs” again can go to our heads. From what I
know, I don’t think the seniors this year physically bully the freshmen at all, and I can almost say for a fact, that I think
verbal stuff has happened, even though it shouldn’t. We try our best to keep everyone at the same level at this school, all
four classes.
So, in conclusion, I want to say that we try our best to be good examples to all the classes, and lead like Jesus
tells us to, but we all fall short sometimes. The benefit, though, for the freshmen, and all the students, is that we have
ILC and our Christian upbringing. This school has WAY less bullying than a public school. If we were a public school
there would be big fights and people degrading others all the time. So be thankful for the school we have. Also, the
Christian upbringing we have and the lessons we learn from our parents teach us and demonstrate that we are to be
respectful, kind, and caring to our neighbor, to give thanks to the Lord, and to receive that same respect and kindness
back. If we all get along at this school, everything will run better, everyone will be happier, and all people will be able to
enjoy their four fun years of high school.
A Freshman’s Perspective on Seniors
Krystal Sydow
The freshman get teased by the seniors; that is no surprise. Most of them are just comments about how
freshmen are stupid and immature, which may or may not be true. Most freshman (at least the girls), understand that
it is just fun teasing and people trying to be funny. Others (mostly guys), don’t. They take it as a threat and try to outdo
the senior that has “insulted them.” I think that the seniors tease the freshman because they want to flaunt their
seniority over the younger students and they had to go through the same thing when they were freshmen. These
comments can be taken as funny or as demeaning and insulting, but we can definitely survive.
An excerpt from the ILHS studend Handbook:
STUDENT HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION
“Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself
up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:1-2). Every student who attends Immanuel should be
able to enjoy to the fullest the blessings and benefits of the Christian instruction and fellowship here at our school.
Everyone should be able to do this without threat or fear of any abuse, intimidation, revenge, reprisal, or rumor from
anyone, including fellow students. Hazing is by its very nature harassment and abusive since the intent is to establish
personal or class privilege by force or threat of force. Too often the excuse is used that it is all in fun. However, if it is
not fun for both parties, then it is harassment. Hazing can be anything from verbal or physical abuse to the extortion of
food from fellow residents. You should use two criteria to help you determine if your actions are appropriate: 1. Is
what I’m doing an expression of Christian love? 2. Are my words or actions unwanted or unwelcome? Student hazing
of any kind will not be tolerated. Instances of hazing will be reported to the dean of students for investigation and
application of appropriate discipline.

Not a Shortstop, Just Short
Jonathan Gamble
It’s baseball season, so I decided I’d entertain you with an
interesting sample of baseball’s humorous history.
Think of the shortest friend you have. Maybe a younger sibling.
Maybe Fiechtner. Just think of a short person. Now imagine this
person was playing in the MLB. And his team even was cruel enough
to give him a small number. Not #1, not #3. No, #⅛ to be exact. Now
you are coming close to imagining the story of Eddie Gaedel.
Coming in at 3’7” and 65 pounds, 26-year-old Eddie Gaedel
appeared in a game on August 19, 1951, for the St. Louis (now
defunct) Browns. Gaedel had been signed two days before by the
eccentric owner Bill Veeck. Veeck was known for his publicity stunts,
and signed Gaedel to entertain the crowd in celebration of the
American League’s 50th anniversary. He informed Gaedel that he was
to draw a walk with his minuscule strike zone. Gaedel was even told
by Veeck that a $1 million dollar life insurance policy had been taken
out on his life and Veeck would personally shoot him if he even looked
like he might swing. Detroit Tigers pitcher Bob Cain threw four
straight balls and Gaedel walked into baseball history (and was pinchrun for immediately after reaching first base).
The next day, MLB voided Gaedel’s contract, claiming Veeck
was making a mockery of the game. Bill Veeck shot back, threatening
that he would request a ruling whether Yankees shortstop Phil Rizzuto was a “short ballplayer
or a tall midget.” He ended his career with an on-base percentage of 1.000.
Gaedel’s story ends badly, with his death at age 36 from a beating in his hometown of
Chicago. Bob Cain, the pitcher who walked him, was the only MLB figure to attend his funeral.
