Inside LHS The Lance 2013-14 Lance Staff Editor-in-Chief: Andy Porter Put Yourself On The Edge Take opportunities to try new things at La Follette! Assistant Editor: Kaylee Hinze By Kaylee Hinze Copy Editor: Preston Taalbi With the new school year brings lots of old, new and forgotten faces that we used to see everyday wandering the halls. Freshmen turn into sophomores, sophomores turn into juniors, and juniors turn into seniors. In addition to that we get a new group of freshmen that the upperclassmen can’t wait to throw in trash cans (not kidding...). The worst thing you can do as a freshman coming into a new school is be intimidated. All the rumors you hear like freshmen trash day or that we throw pennies at you are sadly just rumors and nothing more. Upperclassmen are the last thing you should be afraid of coming into high school. We were all freshmen at one point and know what it feels like to be the fresh meat of the school. “As a freshmen I was a little nervous coming to a new school and it can be intimidating having kids a lot older than you, but once you spark up a conversation Visual Arts/Photography: Preston Taalbi Section Editors: Aaron Lucius- Inside LHS Rachel Hellrood- Arts & Entertainment Mack Arnold- Sports Alex Wehrli- News Rodney Poe - Feature Mitch Cefalu- Brain Teasers Isaiah Zintz - Opinion/Editorial Staff: Miranda Schneider Spring 2014 Sennett 8th Grade Interns: Sean Martin, Maria Rodriguez, Tina Seignarack, Sarina Vang, Diamond Washington Adviser: Donna Kennedy Consultant: Tim Stanton, Images Plus Printer: Images Plus, Madison, WI Editorial Policy: “The Lance” welcomes letters to the editor.

Submit story suggestions/opinions to: [email protected] 2 you realize upperclassmen aren’t much different than you,” Mariah Mell (11) said. You can’t do anything about it so why not take the chance to put yourself out there and meet new people. The best thing to do is get involved in a fall sport. That way you’ll have a few weeks to meet some new kids and meet a few upperclassmen. Sports are a great way to mix in with everyone and get you to feel comfortable around older kids and mingle with kids you’ll be having class with everyday. “Playing volleyball freshmen year I met a lot of kids in my grade and looked up to a lot of upperclassmen. It’s a great way to make friendships and feel comfortable around others,” Olivia Schulte (11) said. Clubs are also a great way to meet kids with the same common interests as you. LHS has a wide variety of clubs for everyone out there so make sure you check them out. If you actually took the time to read this then just remember to be yourself and I promise you’ll meet new people. This isn’t like high school in the movies. Don’t be shy, put yourself out there, you won’t regret it and you’ll meet some amazing people along the way. You Better Do Homework Homework in high school is a lot more high-stakes than in middle school. By Diamond Washington No one likes homework, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get done. We all could’ve guessed that the homework would be harder and that we would have more than we’re used to. Everyone wants to hang out and have a good time like the high school kids in the movies; and we can do that, but we still need to stay on top of our workloads because if we don’t we could fall way behind. “High school homework is more advanced than middle school homework and it’s about double the amount. Also The Lance you get homework almost every night from every class, and if you miss an assignment it affects you a lot. So if you don’t understand something then ask a teacher,” said Leticia Solis (10). Don’t be afraid to ask for help because it could make all the difference. There’s also tutors and homework club to get help at after school. In middle school they don’t expect nearly as much as they do in high school because you’re still “little kids”. “In middle school they just expect you to pay attention. In high school they expect you to be ready and responsible and they prepare you for life by having higher expectations,” says Enjoyiana Nururdin (10). You won’t get away with slacking off. We all need to step up our game and grow up.

Playtime is over, it’s time to get back to school and start hitting the books, Sike! By Aaron Lucius Coming back to school after a mostly stress free summer probably sounds awful. All of the homework, studying and tests being thrown at you can be extremely stressful, especially if you procrastinate. Now, there is no way to completely put an end to procrastinating on homework and studying but there are some ways to make it happen less. Make a checklist for everything you have to do, and I mean everything. Focus on the bigger things first like projects or things that are worth more of your grade. After a while you’ll realize that there isn’t much left to do. Having only little things left to do will help you feel motivated enough to finish the last few tasks on your list. Now you can take pride in accomplishing your goals for the day without stressing about a time crunch. Take breaks. Even when you have a lot of work to do take a break, even if it’s just a five minute one once in a while. These will help to greatly reduce your stress levels. Trying to do everything at once can cause you to get distracted easier which will make everything take even longer. Even better, set a time where you just do solid work (ten minutes is a good number). Don’t think about anything but doing your work during that time The Lance (this includes things like texting and just having the television on in the background!) and soon enough your brain will just be able to focus on that. After those ten minutes you should still do your work but you can be more relaxed. You could even take a small break. Now, if you haven’t already realized this, the most important and most effective way to reduce procrastination is to get rid of all the distractions around you. Contrary to popular beliefs, you can actually survive without your phone. At least for a few hours. Go somewhere that has a quiet atmosphere such as a library or coffee shop. It is guaranteed that you will get work done and be productive. Only bring a laptop if it is absolutely necessary. But, no matter what, DO NOT BRING YOUR CELLPHONE. The last way to help procrastination is— actually, I’ll just write the rest later. Aaron should be working hard, but instead, he’s hardly working. 3 Inside LHS Buckle Up La Follette, We’re Back! For the first time since Donna Kennedy has been our adviser, Lance Editors return for another crack at it! By Andy Porter, Kaylee Hinze, and Alex Wehrli Hey Lancers! It’s the editors of your school’s newspaper and once again we have found ourselves in a little bit of a pickle. Normally this article is written by the senior editor(s) who are leaving and passing on the torch to the new editor(s), unfortunately neither of us were seniors last year, so you’re stuck with us once again. We’re back and better than ever with a new addition to our squad. Now allow us to tell you a little bit about ourselves. Kaylee Hinze is the junior Assistant Editor here on the Lance, and she has been a part of the class since her 8th grade year when she was an intern from Sennett. In one year she impressed our advisor so much that when she was considering who to make editors two years ago, Kaylee was an obvious candidate. She spent the first semester of last school year as the only editor in the class due to Andy’s scheduling conflict. In her free time she enjoys going to Australia with her boyfriend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for tanning sessions and visits with her koala friends. Not to mention playing softball, in which over the summer she single handedly won the World Softball Championship for the team she owns, The Frogs. “Aaron and I just connected instantly since we’re both so talented. Despite what everyone says winning is everything, and I mean everything,” Kaylee Hinze (11) said. Andy Porter is the senior Editor in Chief, and like Kaylee has been a part of the class since he was an eighth grade intern. He was a section editor his freshmen year and always loved the class. “The Lance was terrifying as a 9th grader. I was the only freshmen in a class full of primarily seniors,” 4 Andy Porter (12) said. Andy took the role of E.I.C. in his junior year, but sadly because of scheduling he wasn’t a part of the class itself until the second semester of last year. He’s extremely excited for this school year and can’t wait to improve the paper and make it the best it’s ever been. In his free time he still enjoys being widely respected as the world’s top Mountain Dew critique. He also enjoys long walks on the beach on his private island that he won in an arm wrestling contest against Bradley Cooper. “Yeah, it’s no big deal. Brad and I go way back. He wasn’t so happy that I got his Porsche though,” Porter continued. Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to introduce you to our new Assistant Editor, senior Alex Wehrli. Alex only joined the class last school year, but his work effort and his strong sock game impressed us enough that we decided that he had earned a spot on the editor staff as well. With his rising popularity for his famous column “Fun Hobby or Nasty Habit?” he had go into hiding down in Brazil over the summer. There he made a millions when he bet on Germany in the World Cup and actually won. Since then he has opened his own sock shop called The Sock Game, where all socks are custom designed by Alex himself. Not only that, but he also subscribed to Sock of the Month Club and now receives one free pair of socks every month! “It’s always been a dream of mine to let my voice be heard, regardless of how sarcastic and brute it is,” Alex Wehrli (12) said, “I speak the truth,” he continued. So Lancers, this is who we are. We’re your editors for the 2014-15 school year and we’re open to feedback on the paper. If you have any questions, problems, or critique of the paper email us at lance@[email protected] so we can make this the best paper you have ever seen! See ya around Lancers! This year’s Editors, Alex Wehrli (12), Andy Porter (12), and Kaylee Hinze (11), hope to make this year’s pee-per better than ever! La Follette Special! $20 off your next carpet cleaning!

The story of the shooting of Michael Brown and the aftermath in Ferguson. By Rachel Hellrood On August 9th, 2014 18-year-old Michael Brown was walking unarmed through the streets of Ferguson, Missouri when he was shot by police officer Darren Wilson. Not only was Brown shot once, but Officer Wilson shot at Brown seven times including twice in the head killing him installing at the scene. There has not been a confirmed reason of why Officer Wilson shot Brown. Earlier on August 9th, Ferguson police were called to a robbery in progress at a local convenience store where security tapes have two men who are thought to be Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson confronting a worker in the store before leaving the store with cigars that Brown allegedly stole. At the same time as the robbery, Officer Darren Wilson had just finished another call that was unrelated when he drove past Brown and Johnson. Officer Wilson came in contact with Brown and Johnson because they were “walking down the middle of the street,” Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said. Once close enough to Brown and Johnson, Wilson noticed the cigars and thought that there might be a connection to the robbery at the convenience store. After that, witnesses’ stories have all differed on what truly happened between Officer Wilson and Brown. Some witnesses say that that Officer Wilson made the first move at Brown then chased him while shots were fired. It is said that Brown had his hands up before Wilson’s shots were fired. Contradicting to other reports, the Ferguson Police Department stated that Brown pushed Officer Wilson back in his car after Wilson tried to get out. September 2014 Brown fought Wilson for the gun, and a shot was fired inside of Wilson’s cop car. Brown and Wilson then got out of the vehicle where the shooting occurred and ended. Since the shooting of Brown, Officer Wilson has been unable to be contacted and has not said anything to the press. Wilson has also been put on a paid leave of absence by the Ferguson Police Department for the time being. The death of Michael Brown is being investigated by the local authorizes as well as the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department. Ever since Brown’s death, the town of Ferguson has turned into a town of protests, tear gas and numerous businesses being vandalized. As a result of the protests, several law enforcement agencies have been called to Ferguson to handle the chaos, including the Missouri National Guard. If you walk through the town is seems as if you are living in an apocalyptic movie with authorizes walking around with bulletproof vests and gas masks while driving armored vehicles throughout the town. Nightly violent protests were occurring in Ferguson. At one point Missouri Governor Jay Nixon imposed a curfew on the residents of Ferguson for two nights residents were to stay inside their homes from midnight to five in the morning. But, still outraged by the events taking The Lance place in Ferguson seven people were arrested the first night of curfew along with the use of tear gas against the protesters still out after curfew. Protesters have even gone as far to throw tear gas back at police. Over the course of the protests, more than 100 protesters have been arrested. A majority of these arrests have been for refusal to disperse areas in Ferguson by police orders. “He never intended for any of this to happen,” Police Chief Jackson spoke about the shooting of Brown. A trail for Officer Darren Wilson’s is set to start sometime in the middle of October. As of August 20th, 2014 a grand jury has begun debate whether Wilson should be charged as a criminal in the death of Michael Brown.

Here’s what you missed over Summer! The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is hitting La Follette! But what exactly is the challenge? By Rachel Hellrood As the weather seems to finally be getting hotter, people all around the world are now freezin’ for a very important reason. It appears that as of late, one cannot open a social media site without seeing people douse themselves with ice-cold water. Clearly, celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, LeBron James, Mark Zuckerberg, Jimmy Fallon and Bill Gates aren’t just trying to cool off, so what’s all of the hype about and why are people all of a sudden willing to risk hypothermia for this famed ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? Although many of you have probably heard of or even participated in this fastgrowing fad, I will try to sum it up to those of you who may still be confused. In mid-July, pro golfer Chris Kennedy’s trainer, James Whatmore, challenged Kennedy to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge that was already sweeping the nation. The challenge consists of someone pouring ice water over their head and then “nominating” someone else to do the challenge. Anyone who does not complete the challenge within 24 hours has to make a donation to their Robin Williams tragically died on August 11th, 2014 at the age of 63 in his home in Paradise Cay, California. 24 year old Amanda Hall was kicked in the face by a giraffe at the Henry Vilas Zoo after she climbed the giraffe’s fence on August 16th, 2014. Hall was faced with a fine of 686 dollars for harassing zoo animals. Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft from 2000 to 2014 bought the Los Angeles Clippers for 2 billion dollars after former owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life due to racial comments came out earlier this year. Germany wins the 2014 FIFA World Cup after going into overtime against Argentina. Germany won 1 to 0 making this Germany’s fourth win in the World Cup. The two American that contracted the virus Ebola while volunteering to help control the disease in Liberia have been released after they both received an experimental treatment called ZMapp at Emory University Hospital. Both patients have completed tests that prove that the virus is out of their system. By Robin Mwai favorite charity. Kennedy passed the challenge on to his wife’s cousin whose husband suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Kennedy chose to donate $100 to help fight ALS; a currently incurable disease. After some time, the good old internet did what it does best and this craze, along with videos of challengers, spread like wild fire. But what is interesting to me is that after Kennedy donated to the ALS Association no one decided to donate to a different charity. That is how the challenge officially became known as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Since numbers don’t lie, allow me to present some hard evidence to show just how powerful this trend has become. As of August 20, of this year, The ALS Association has received $31.5 million in donations as opposed to $1.9 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 20). These donations have not only come from pre-existing donors but also 637,527 new donors. This money is going to ALS research and treatment for patients everywhere. So whether you have or plan to donated money or you are just raising awareness through posting a video, congratulations to everyone who have given back to this cause. I hope that we all continue to look for ways to give back and do not stop getting involved once this popular fad dies out.

Schiller Park bakery was one of four bakeries’ left that still produced the beloved treats.

Attempts were made to rescue Foley but sadly were not successful. 6 The Lance September 2014 What’s Hot What’s Not By: The Lance Class What’s Hot: Cheap donuts What’s Not: Expensive donuts What’s Hot: AP credits What’s Not: Summer homework What’s Hot: Celebs What’s Not: Celebs without eyebrows What’s Hot: Open campus lunch What’s Not: Walking down to Walgreen’s and stealing a bag of Cheetos What’s Hot: $1 waffle cones What’s Not: Paying full price What’s Hot: Homecoming weekend What’s Not: Underage drinking tickets What’s Hot: The Lance What’s Not: Spending 10 hours of Summer finishing it What’s Hot: Driving to school What’s Not: The parking lot What’s Hot: The new escalators What’s Not: The old stairs What’s Hot: Being in a relationship What’s Not: Seeing someone on the side What’s Hot: Having some money What’s Not: Working part time to get it Random Facts By Mitch Cefalu •Dodge ball has been banned from schools across North America •Windmills always turn counter clock-wise •1.2 million students drop out of school every year •There was no punctuation until the 15th century •You can throw a ball farther to the west than to the east •White Castle is America’s oldest burger chain •The first owner of the Marlboro cigarette company died of lung cancer September 2014 Brain Teasers What Grinds Your Gears? The traffic this summer and fall has made driving around a serious bummer. By Robin Mwai and Kaylee Hinze You want to know what grinds our gears this month? Having an extra ten minutes added on to our travel time due to the ridiculous amount of construction around the Madison area. Over the summer, there have been many construction projects that blocked off main roads and led to confusing lane shifts. It seems that a new project was being started each week and as time went on no great progress was being shown, which led to continued aggravation. The road that got the worst of it, was the Beltline. It appeared that lanes were being laid randomly and getting narrower as they went on. Confusion was guaranteed, as lane breaks were constantly changing and forcing divers to maneuver around construction. Not only was the construction everywhere, but it got kind of scary driving down some parts. On the Beltline especially, tight lanes forced drivers closer to the side of the road and to other cars. With construction workers doing bigger jobs a night, evening trips got quite tricky. “It gets frustrating when you’re on the Beltline at night since there’s only one lane open. I can’t wait for construction to be done,” Rachel Hellrood (12) said. This annoyance not only affects drivers, but also bikers and pedestrians. Trying to navigate and find a safe way to get around on foot can make for a real sticky wicket. Although getting around the city has been rather frustrating, it has not been entirely useless. East Broadway was one of the first streets to go earlier this year, but despite the long demolition process, the road is looking up and is for the most part complete. So Lancers, while you are trying to keep your road rage in check during your commutes around the city, just know that it is only temporary. It may be a severely annoying gear-grinder, but it will get better. All of you who value punctuality should consider leaving for your destination a few minutes early, and remember, it has to get worse before it gets better. Everyone hates an orange traffic barrel.

By Rachel Hellrood & Tina Seignarack One of the great things about La Follette is our lunch period. We have the longest lunch in the district, 57 minutes. As if that isn’t cool enough our lunch period is also open campus! The open campus lunch is for all grades. Any student can leave La Follette during lunch. While going out can be exciting, especially for underclassmen, it does have its draw backs. Don’t get me wrong, going out to lunch occasionally can be a fun treat, but all that eating out can add up fast. Dropping money on lunch on the daily can total up to about twenty dollars a week. Though it seems cheap when you buy it, think about the long term. “I don’t understand how people can afford to go out to lunch every day,” Alexis Johnson (12) said. Another issue about going out to lunch is you run the risk of being tardy to class. There’s nothing is worse than walking into your third block and handing your teacher a blue tardy pass while clutching your Baja Blast from Taco Bell. Another situation you want to avoid is going to Walgreens at lunch. Don’t ask questions as to why you shouldn’t go there, just don’t. Save yourself some time and visit La Follette’s school store, The Lancer Zone. They offer the same great snacks that Walgreen’s does, but The Lancer Zone is three blocks closer. One of the great advantages to having a long lunch period is the amount of things that you’re able to get done during the 57 minutes. “You have time to go talk to teachers and get individual help and have time to work on things you may have missed in class that day,” Alyssa Ivy (11) said. So whatever you choose to do during your lunch period, make sure you have fun and be safe. Grab Your Friends and Hit The Clubs Take a chance and get out and get involved in school clubs and other activities. By Rachel Hellrood & Alex Wehrli Throughout your high school career you will hear educators and parents encouraging or forcing you to get involved in school sponsored activities. You may think that you won’t have any time for stuff like that between 8 your social life and your school work. Fortunately though you actually do. Your involvement will make your high school experience more memorable and it allow you to discover some of the hidden treasures we have here at La Follette. Believe it or not the majority of involvement opportunities here happen during the middle of the day. During lunch is when most of La Follette’s clubs meet. There are over 20 different clubs offered here. We have clubs likes Key Club, HOSA, DECA and Black Student Union. Joining a club opens doors to discovering new passions and making new friends. “I think that it’s the best way to be proactive about solving conflicts at La Follette,” Bekah Smith (12) said, who is a member of the Restorative Justice Club here. Other notables here at school include Book Club, Mathletes, Asian Club and Art Club. We also have club sports here like girls and boys Lacrosse along with men’s Rugby. Another way of getting involved here is joining one of La Follette’s school productions. Every year La Follette puts on a fall play as well as a spring musical! The Lance The musical not only needs singers, actors and dancers, but musicians as well! So if you play a musical instrument you can join the pit orchestra. These opportunities can help you make new friends and will no doubt expand your horizons. One last way that you can really get involved at La Follette is through sports. Sports teams are a great way to not only meet new people, but they allow you to stay physically fit as well. Whether you are on the freshman team or on that Var status, being on a sports team can provide a sense of family within the La Follette community. “What I like about being on a sports team here at La Follette is the people you get to know during your season and the fun you have with them,” Alex Watring (12) said. Do yourself a favor and join a club, a sport or get involved in one our fabulous school productions! Getting involved will allow you to make new friends and it will help to open your eyes to new cultures, people, opportunities, and it will broaden your horizons! You may find yourself permanently bettered by it! September 2014 Feature Tips and Tricks to Surviving Senior Year What to do and expect for your final year at LHS. By Aaron Lucius Graduation is just around the corner. Senior year is finally here! But, are you actually ready to graduate? No I don’t mean getting away from high school and your parents but rather are you ready to transition into the next point in your life? College is what most of us are going onto next and if not, you still need to finish high school strong. No matter what you go onto afterwards, many things in high school will matter for your future. You haven’t stayed up late at night for that essay or study for finals just to let it all fall apart senior year. The end of your secondary education career is coming to an end but that’s not an excuse for you to slack off. Work just as hard this year as you have been for the past three years. Colleges and other post school workplaces will look at your GPA, especially senior year. Hold back that senioritis as much as you can because let’s be honest, there’s no way to not have at least a little bit towards the end of the year. Go to homework club or get a tutor if you still need one. Your stress will be much higher once you realize that your dream college doesn’t want you anymore just because you slacked off your senior year Now, if you’re the exact opposite person of someone who slacks off and instead does everything their senior year because they think they have to to, there’s some good news for you too. Senior year is supposed to be your laid back year so take it easy a little bit. You should focus on your academics and such but don’t overload yourself by taking four AP classes when you’ve never taken one. Take what you need to for your post high school plans. Also, don’t join five clubs and expect to make every meeting for them. Instead put one or two so you’re able to go to all of those meetings and activities. Speaking of those clubs, whether you’re too scared, think you’ll make no friends, or are just lazy join at least one club or sport during your senior year in high school. What do you honestly have to lose? Think about it, you won’t have to do it next year of something bad were to happen (which it won’t). If you like it there’s a good chance that you’ll meet new people and make new friends! Joining one of these can also help you in the future with things like becoming a more social person, which to some probably sounds awful but in the long run it’ll help you. We all want to end our senior year strong and we are all capable of doing it. Find a medium of the things you are capable of and stick with them. Don’t worry about what others think of you, as long as you have fun with what you’re doing. Senior year can one of the best or worst years of your life, it just depends on how you make it. La Follette’s Freshmen Guide to Success The key to having a successful first week. By Mitch Cefalu Starting the first year of your high school career is possibly one of the scariest things a person can do. The first week at La Follette is hot, full of people twice your size, loud, and is easy to get lost in. Time seems to stand still when you cross the threshold of the building the entire first week of school and the hour and a half blocks seem like an eternity. All of this can easily take someone who has never experienced schooling like this by surprise and make this first week one of the worst of your life. Even though every student will survive, you can save yourself lots of stress by following these tips. September 2014 It’s going to be hot wear so something appropriate for the heat. It’s understandable that you want to look good to your peers, but halfway through the day when you’re sweating so much you start sticking to desk you might regret wearing your “nicer” clothes. It’s high school not a fashion show anyway. Contrary to what you see on TV and in every other stereotypical depiction of high school, the upperclassmen in fact don’t instantly hate you for being a freshman. When an upperclassman hates you they probably have a legitimate reason to be hating. Being loud, obnoxious, and immature will make an upperclassman look down on you more than anything. It’s a reason for anyone to dislike you not just someone a few grades above you. So please this one goes out to everyone, just chill. The classes may be long here, but staring The Lance at the clock every three seconds will only make time go by slower. The key to making the blocks go by fast is remembering the fact that you only have four classes in a day. Once you realize this then you will love the block schedule much more than 7 periods in a day. The only thing that you will have to deal with on your own is memorizing the layout of the school. It’s big but there are only a few floors throughout the entire building. Good luck with week one and enjoy your time here at La Follette. 9 Sports It’s Madness LHS Football Starting off Strong Fantasy Football is back again and I bet you’re pumped, because we all are... By Alex Wehrli Fantasy Football, it’s a man’s game. Your first thought may lead you to believe that it has to do with a bunch of wizards and warlocks running around with the pigskin, but no, that’s not it. To sum it up for any noob living in the dark, fantasy football goes like this: You draft a team of NFL players and every week two teams are matched up. The teams earn points according to their player’s performances. Then after a weekend’s worth of games the team with the highest score takes home the win. It’s quite simple really. Anyways I’m veering away from my point. Fantasy football has become less and less like a virtual reality game and more and more like a true sport. Something in ball park of NASCAR and bowling but a sport nonetheless. Grown men dedicate hours to this game and because of that it tears families apart, but the most important thing is that it reinforces your masculinity and that’s what really matters. It’s very similar to Runescape. It sucks you in and never lets you go. One day you’re fine and the next you’re ignoring your grandmother just so you can monitor Calvin Johnson’s performance against the Bears. No matter how hard you try to fight it, the game will change you. The zealots can definitely be annoying but the real knuckleheads are the ones that pay no attention to their team at all. You’ll figure out who those people are right around week six when four of the players in their starting lineup have byepweeks. It’s no h o t fun o playing g r against a p h someone who doesn’t even try. So don’t be that guy. “Fantasy Football is how we separate the men from the boy’s,” Tryg Gessner (12) said. To all you fantasy geeks out there good luck this season and may the game live on forever. Why not Lancer Football? By Rachel Hellrood It’s that time of year again Lancers. That’s right, high school football is back! Whether you are finding outrageous clothing for that night’s theme, gearing up in your football jersey there is no better feeling than having your school come together as one. With new head coach Scott Swanson and a strong group of returning senior players this year, it is fair to say that this group will be hard to beat. Following the tremendous success of last year’s season the Lancers are already off to a great start with their first win against Sun Prairie on August 22nd. The Lancers beat Sun Prairie 28-21, the Lancers first win against Sun Prairie since 2007. The Lancers had an impressive first quarter after senior quarterback Jordan Carlson threw two touchdown passes to fellow seniors Cortez McCree and Tanner Hegge giving the Lancers an advantage against Sun Prairie to begin the game. Senior Cahleel Copus helped the Lancers finished strong with an 80-yard touchdown in the second quarter and scoring the winning touchdown for the Lancers in the last four minutes of the game. “The win is a huge momentum builder, that’s for sure. While we still have a lot of work to do, I’m extremely proud of how our team came together and rose to the occasion,” Ryan rystal rystal •SeniorPortraits •Families •Quinceaneras y•BusinessPortraits Images 10 Mention this ad to receive additional 15% off services Lehman (12) said. Last year the Lancer Football Team had their best season with a record of 7-2. This year the team has high hopes for the 2014 season and hopes to make it to playoffs again. “Each person has their own personal goals. Myself I want to spend as much time with my brothers as possible. As far as team goals we have a set of checkpoints along the season we list as ‘Lussier Cup, City Champions, Conference Champions, Camp Randall,” Jake Olson (12) said. The team hopes to accomplish these with the help from teammate Hanna Hilgendorf, the starting kicker for the team for the second year in a row. Hilgendorf made all the field goals against Sun Prairie, helping securing La Follette’s win. She has truly become an essential part of the Lancer’s team in the eyes of her teammates. “Hanna is a great teammate! She’s fun to be around and always has a smile on her face, not to mention she is extremely consistent at putting the ball through the uprights. She doesn’t try to hide who she is on the field, if you’ve been to a game you would know that she is probably the loudest person on the sidelines always screaming and cheering. We could always have more teammates like her,” Josh Bernhagen (11) said. Don’t forget to come out and support the Lancers at their next home game on Friday, September 5th here at La Follette against Madison West. You won’t want to miss another game of this promising season!

By Robin Mwai With the Fall sports season already underway, there has been a few new faces joining the Lancer coaching staff. All of these new coaches are working to improve their teams and help make sure things run smoothly with the recent changes. Meet Coach Scott Swanson (Swanny) Sport: Varsity Football College: UW - La Crosse While attending UWL, Coach Swanson, played both football and tennis. He began working as an assistant coach at La Follette in 2007, which was the last time the football team made the playoffs prior to the 2013 season. “I’m excited to build on the success from last year while continuing to grow the Lancer tradition,” Coach Swanson said. Meet Coach Ally Kenison Sport: Poms College: UW - Stevens Point Coach Kenison was a dance major at UWSP who has taught in many dance studios in the area. She was the dance coach at Middleton High School. Kenison is a former Diamond Dancer for the Milwaukee Brewers. “I’m excited to see the dancers perform at the games, and engage with the Madison community,” Coach Kenison said. Meet Coach Tarah Harms Sport: Girls’ Volleyball College: UW - Madison Coach Harms was a business student at UW-Madison, where she also played club basketball on the side. She began coaching the Freshman Girls’ Basketball at La Follette last year and is now the Varsity Girls’ head volleyball coach. “I’m excited for all the potential we have, and building the program up while getting a few “W’s” along the way,” Coach Harms said. We appreciate all of these coaches stepping up to positions that needed filling. On behalf of all the Lancer athletes at La Follette I’d like to welcome these coaches with open arms and wish all of them along with their teams the best of luck this season. Go Lancers! September 2014 Numerous incoming Seniors have decided to go out for football for the first time in their high school careers. By Alex Wehrli Last year the La Follette football team put together one heck of a season. They earned the title of city champs, finished second in one of the most competitive conferences in the state and they made the playoffs for the first time since 2007. Maybe that helps to explain the recent influx of first year seniors joining the squad this fall. This year La Follette has a handful of guys that have never played a down of high school football. That’s not to say they’ve just been lying around on their butt’s the past three years. They were out for other sports at La Follette like volleyball, hockey and even cross country. It could be that after witnessing all of last year’s success, these “new kids” realized that they wanted to be a part of something special. However, some may just be in it for a change of scenery, others could be using it to help slingshot them in other sports, or maybe they’re doing it because everybody loves a football player. Whatever the case these guys are choosing a road less traveled. Not only do these brave individuals have to figure out how to button up a chin strap they’re also left with having to learn some complex schemes and plays. “It’s a lot to take on but I’m up for the challenge,” first year senior, Quinten Shere said. It’s definitely no simple task trying walking onto an already stacked team but word on the street is that the added competition is only making everyone better. “It’s great having these guys out, it’s a nice change of pace seeing some new faces,” fourth year footballer Adam Ackeret (12) said. We’ve all seen movies like Friday Night Lights and Remember The Titans that capture all that is great about high school football. So can you really blame these guys for taking a chance and going out for the team their senior year? It’s a bold move, there’s no question about it. Now make no mistake it’s pretty cool that these first year seniors are going out for football, but don’t let them overshadow the guys that have been putting in steady work for four straight years. To all our Lancer football players out there, I wish you the best of luck and may your season be mighty and prosperous! The La Follette Football Squad looking cool.

By Alex Wehrli Today’s topic is swag. Swag is important, but you have to do it right. Some people don’t understand that though... “People that try too hard with their swag are stupid,” Nathan Schmidt (12) said. The biggest give away if you’re trying to hard is any item of clothing that has swag written on it. Believe it or not, wearing a shirt that says “Swag On” actually takes away from your overall swag rating. If think you have swag, you shouldn’t need to advertise it. Besides the obvious “SWAG OVER EVERYTHING” t-shirt, there are a few other things that can make a swag obsessed individual stand out. One of the more obvious ones is the Jordan brand. People think that just because it’s Jordan it is swagtastic. Unfortunately, it’s not. Cool, you paid, what, like thirty dollars for those shorts? You could have just run down to your local Walmart and picked up a pair of And Ones for one third of the price. Windbreakers are on the list too. They look pretty sweet, however, all it says is that you’re desperate to climb the swag ladder. People don’t even wear them for the purpose that they serve, which is a waste. As if all of that isn’t bad enough, it does get worse. There are people in this world that I like to call “One Brand Wonders.” You may think you don’t know what I’m talking about, but you do. These are the people that wear Nike shoes, Nike socks, Nike shorts, Nike shirts, and Nike hats. They think they’re awesome because they’re only wearing one brand. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. After a point it becomes too much and you just look silly. My biggest peeve with this trend is the fact that people think that swag has to be expensive, which is false. The thirty dollar pair of shorts you just bought from that outlet store seem pretty sweet now, but as soon as you run into someone at school wearing the same pair, you’ll think twice. The real swag is the stuff that no one else has. It’s not the big brand name stuff. It’s the stuff you stumble upon at a Saint Vinnie’s, Savors, or even at your grandparent’s house. It’s important to understand that real swag comes from within. The logo on your shirt doesn’t matter. What matters is how you view yourself, because if you think you have swag, then you’ve got swag. This is How We Do It, Freshmen The guideline of how to survive your freshman year here at La Follette. By Mack Arnold Every year the incoming freshman think they have the right to do whatever they please... NO. You don’t have the right to do a lot of things. Here are some do’s and don’ts of being a freshman at La Follette that will make your first year of high school enjoyable. Freshman do’s… •Get to class on time •Take computer literacy seriously •Your GPA does matter •Stay on top of your homework •Be nice to your teachers •Check out the escalators that was put in over the summer •Dress appropriately •Respect your upperclassman 12 •Smile and wave at everybody you see •Remember to flush the toilet •Use deodorant •Do go to Summit for the free cookies •Buy a yearbook •Wear crocs •Do bring your teachers an apple every Friday •Do use the coupons in The Lance Freshman don’ts… • Don’t copy and paste •Don’t start a food fight •Don’t eat in the hallways •Don’t walk to lunch •Don’t have your parents dress you •Don’t skip class •Don’t date an upperclassman •Don’t go to the path •Don’t procrastinate •Don’t create a log jam in the hallway •Don’t pay upperclassman to take you to lunch •Don’t criticize The Lance; you probably can’t write better The Lance Delight that special someone With fabulous flowers from Felly’s Always open at fellys.com Monona 205 E Broadway September 2014 Arts & Entertainment #The #Neverending #Hashtag #Craze In a world of social media, hashtags have become the annoying friend. By Kaylee Hinze and Sean Martin Scrolling through Twitter, we see the occasional hashtag to end a tweet, but with our generation hashtags have gone a little overboard. Hashtags have taken over Instagram, Facebook, and even the friendly text to your bro. When will the time come for us to put our foot down and end the hashtag craze? Don’t you just hate when you’re scrolling through Instagram and it takes an extra 5 minutes to get past one picture because of all the hashtags. #beautiful #cute #love #boyfriend #howaboutstop. News flash: it’s not the more hashtags the more likes, its the more hashtags the more annoying, so quit it. Certain people also put hashtags that are synonyms to the one before, hypothetically someone takes a picture of food and puts it on September 2014 Instagram, they’ll put something like #delicious, #tasty, #foodisgood. As lazy Americans the less reading the better, so take a hint and drop the fifty hashtags. Yes, we understand once you start it’s hard not to get carried away, but for real guys it’s just plain weird. You don’t have to drop the hashtags entirely because they’re completely essential to any good tweet, but there’s no need for your tweet to consist of all hashtags. Now the overuse of hashtags can have their moments. Some are used for comedic purposes, but most of these are just making fun of people who do overuse hashtags. Some pictures also have a lot of details to hashtag but a selfie of you drinking Starbucks is not fifty hashtag worthy. We personally think hashtagging has gone overboard, but maybe people have different opinions about this, “Hashtagging is overboard when they tell their life story in the hashtags,” Sarina Vang (9) said. But the thing that bothers us the most is when people use hashtags in The Lance everyday conversation. Like when someone does a cool backflip or something and then you hear “#cool” and you groan because you realize what direction your generation is headed. Some people manage to use so many hashtags that people encourage them to stop by saying, “#stopthehashtagging”. The lesson of this story is that there are too many hashtags used in everyday life and they’ve strayed from their original purpose. #keepitshort 13 Editorial Mooching: Fun Hobby or Nasty Habit? To be...or not to be...that is the question! By Alex Werhrli and Diamond Washington Mooching, it’s a controversial topic. Some love it, some hate it. There are two sides to every story. Mooching is an easy way to get free stuff. You could get a free ride to the mall, or a free snack in the hall. I mean, it isn’t so bad, you’re not bothering anyone. Like seriously come on, a few bucks, they’re your friend right? It shouldn’t bother them to lend you a dollar, or a few Cheetos and a bite of their donut. Or what about asking for a ride home after school because taking the bus is too mainstream for your taste. It’s not that far, you only live a few blocks away from them, so it isn’t out of the way. Maybe at lunch you go and sit with your friend and start to eat, and then they pull out a brown paper bag with their homemade lunch inside. It isn’t wrong to ask for a piece of their sandwich, it’s always nice to eat something homemade. Besides they decided to pull it out in front of you, therefore they shouldn’t be irritated when you ask for some. Say you and your friend are on your way to Culver’s for lunch, and when you get there, you realize you forgot your wallet at home that morning. So you ask your friend for a few bucks to grab a burger. It’s not that bad to lend a friend a few dollars. Mooching isn’t bad, it’s just being smart. However, an opposition does exist. Moochers, they’re just bad people. All they do is take, take, and take some more. It’s sickening. It’s one thing if you mooch off of someone and then later on return the favor, but it’s a completely different story if you never properly thank them. Mooching goes on all around us. A prime example of this occurs at lunch time. Hypothetically, you have a car and you decide to go out to lunch. More likely than not some scrub that doesn’t have anything better to do will follow you out to your car and get in the backseat. As if something like that isn’t bad enough, it does get worse. Hypothetically, when you arrive at your lunch destination, the scrub from the backseat says he doesn’t have any money. So what does backseat scrub do? He asks you if he can borrow five dollars. You being the “nice guy” you are say “Sure, why not.” However, deep down you hate this person. They just followed you to your car without asking and then asked you to give them money. Will they pay you back? Probably not. “It’s annoying. Get a job. It’s not my fault I’m employed and you’re not,” Alyssa Bruce (12) said. Unfortunately we haven’t reached rock bottom yet. Hypothetically, today is Wednesday, and your mother packed you a nice lunch. So while sitting in second block you get a tad hungry and decide to pull out the chicken biscuits from your brown paper sack. Three biscuits in, the guy sitting next to you says “Are those chicken biscuits? Let me get one.” You, being the “nice guy” you are, give him one, although you know he will never ever give you anything in return. So you’re left feeling hungry and upset. The moral of the story here is, don’t mooch, because no one likes a mooch, it’s just annoying and unnecessary. Now, given that this is a fun hobby, nasty habit article we will turn it over to you, the public. Is mooching a fun hobby, or a nasty habit? Hottest Trend of the Summer: Jorts Get like John Cena. By Rachel Hellrood It was one of the biggest trends of summer 2014: Jorts. Now I know what you are thinking. Jean shorts for females are typical in the summer, but that’s not who jorts apply to. Jorts are made for men and they proved to be one of the hottest trends of summer 2014 and now are one of the hottest trends for the upcoming school year. Named from the combination of jeans and shorts, most of the males here at La Follette aren’t bold enough to wear these jorts, so summer was the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and try some on. If you missed your chance, now is the time to try them! 14 Now that you are feeling more confident about wearing jorts, I’ll enlighten you to the three different types of jorts that you can wear; baggy jorts, tight jorts and short jorts. The baggy jorts are often the type of jorts worn by little boys and dad’s whose shirts are tucked in, but can often be rocked by the high school age as well. “Jorts are great for parties and any other social gathering. We all need jorts. I love Jorts,” Joe Hayes (12) said. These types of jorts can often be found on celebrities such as Pharrell Williams. The tight jorts fit are opposite of the baggy jorts. They are close to the skin and are often worn by hipsters. “I don’t know why I love jorts, but I know I love them,” La Follette Graduate Preston Taabli said about his jorts obsession. The Lance These jorts can also be called Skinny Jorts. Styling these are quite simple, most tight jort owners fold the bottom of the jorts; again most common on hipsters. Short jorts are those rare jean shorts that you hope never to see on anyone. Most often these jorts are very unflattering and paired with crocs and a bro tank. These jorts can often be seen not only in the form of denim, but also in other colors such as red and green. These are the rarest type of the three jort types. If jorts aren’t your thing, that’s okay. Not everyone can pull this style off. But if you do think that you can rock jorts just make sure you wear the jorts that fit your personality the best. Can’t wait to see jorts rocking the streets of Madison this school year! September 2014 Editorial When It’s Time To Go Let Nothing Stop You! Don’t over think it. By Alex Wehrli The following article is intended for men only. The rule was established long before any of us were around. It is unspoken and it is a sin to break it. However, I’m telling you that we need to do just that. Any male that goes to use the restroom is aware of the every other rule, where every other urinal is to be occupied. This seems sensible because it allows males to keep their distance and feel comfortable. However, problems begin to arise the when all of the appropriate slots become filled. When this happens one of three things will occur: 1.The individual will walk around the bathroom pretending they needed to check their hair or something until a urinal suddenly becomes available. 2.The individual will just skip the urinals altogether and head straight for the stalls. 3.The Individual will walk in the bathroom, see that all spots are filled and then quickly and quietly exit like they were never there. It’s sad, but every single one of these things happens on a daily basis. With this new school year, we have the power to spark a change that could affect generations. I’m of the mindset that when you have to go, you have to go, therefore I am a firm believer in filling any urinal that is available. Unfortunately, there are still those that are stuck in their ways. “I am one hundred percent against changing the rule. We men need our personal space when we do our business. Peeing directly next to a man is the equivalent to of showering at the local YMCA naked, purely unacceptable,” Tanner Hegge (12) said. Although Tanner is against everything that I stand for, it’s important to acknowledge all viewpoints, even if they’re different from your own. So if you walk into a bathroom and see that there’s a urinal available, take that spot, regardless of if it means you’re elbow to elbow with another dude. Keep things simple, because when you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go. The Song Murdering Needs To End Now! Why must the radio ruin all that is good? By Alex Wehrli The following depicts a common experience that every teenager has gone through: You hear a new song on the radio and think “Man this is my jam!” So you crank it up, roll down the windows and cruise around in style. A couple of days later your friends start talking about it and the next thing you know that new song is all the rage. It’s always playing on the radio and you can’t get enough of it. However, the stations soon decide that they’re going to play the song every ten minutes all day every day until you eventually hate the song that you once held near and dear to your heart. “It’s like rotting away a child’s teeth through the use of sugary candy. It’s truly sickening,” Caden Parr (12) said. We’ve all been through it, and it sucks, there’s no other way to put it. We saw it to countless songs over the summer. Now maybe it’s just me, but I think that the radio does it on purpose. They bait the public into loving a song by only playing it once in a blue moon. Slowly but surely people start requesting to have it played, until calls flood in every thirty seconds. At this point the high up radio personal decide, with a smile on their face, to give the public what they HABANERO’S 2229 S. Stoughton Rd. MEXICAN GRILL want. They play the song all the time until its eventual demise. It could be that the folks working at the radio station just get a kick out of over playing a song, but then again maybe it’s part of some bigger scheme. Something tied to the illuminati… I’m not too sure at this point. All I know is that I really get bummed out when something like this happens. So I’m reaching out to you, my peers, my teachers, and anyone tied to a radio station, to help bring an end to this madness. All I’m asking is that whenever you hear a new song on the radio that you like, tweet about it using #savethissong. Together we can help bring an end to the over playing of songs on the radio. Don’t just do this for you, do it for all the artists that have been affected by this… Together we can spark a change. 223-9222 OR Buy 3 TACOS and get 1 free TACO or 1 free soda Buy 1 BURRITO and get 1 free TACO or 1 free soda OR Buy 1 TORTA and get 1 free TACO or 1 free soda LHSLANCE2012 September 2014 The Lance 15 Maps of LHS Computer Media - Michael L.
