Students participate in Reindeer Games By Noemi Aime

Before winter break began, Kenesaw High School started the holiday season off with a little bit of Christmas cheer on December 19th. The Reindeer Games competition was won by the seniors after the energetic, intense battles. “We (the senior class) were physically and mentally better than the other teams,” said senior Isaiah McChesney. Senior Kory Heier also felt that his class deserved to take first place, saying “Cheaters never win (teachers).” The games, played by the students and the school staff, were as follows: Santa's Sleigh Ride, consisting of two people pulling Santa (Mr. Schnitzler), who was seated on a carpet; Face The Cookie, in which three contestants from each class sat on a chair and move a cookie from their forehead to their mouth using only their face; Hut-Hut-Hike, in which two people from each class attempt to "hike" a football through a hula hoop hanging from a basketball rim; Marshmal-low Toss, where two teammates work together to see how many marshmallows can be thrown by one person into his teammate’s mouth; Egg Roll, where eggs were laying in the middle of the bas-ketball court and contestants attempt to fan their eggs from the circle to and past the end court line with cardboard pieces; Rapid Fire, in which each person must shoot rubber bands in order to knock 10 cups off of a table; Blow Me Away, where each contestant must inflate a balloon and then release the air to blow 20 upside-down cups off a table; Ping Tac Toe, in which the contest-ants bounce ping-pong balls into an empty egg carton from a distance of three feet; Tilt-a-Cup, where seven paired contestants must bounce a ping-pong ball for their partners to catch in a stack of cups; Root Beer Guzzle, in which the first members of each team begin at the sideline and race to the stage, grab a glass of root beer, guzzle it, set the glass down, and then run back to the side line to tag awaiting partners, which most of the students said was the most memora-ble game for them; 3-Legged Race, in which the two participants attempt to complete a race with the left leg of one runner strapped to the right leg of the other runner; and Dodge Ball, in which three people from each team simply play the other team in a tournament between staff and grades 7-12.

Senior Profiles

Erika Kay Klein, daughter of Keith and Kailey Klein, is involved in FBLA. After high school, she plans to attend Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, where she will major in Sonography. Outside of school, Erika enjoys hunting, fishing, and working at Big G Ace Hardware in Hastings. When she was asked what class has prepared her the most for the future, she responded, “My college classes, because come next year, I already have an idea how college will be, and I’m not stepping into it so blindly.” Her greatest high school memory is being a TA for Mrs. Tompkin and her 3rd grade class. What she will miss most about high school is having an art class everyday. She said if she could add something to the school it would be Study Hall, “because every student needs a little extra study time.” Erika lives by the quote, “You gotta grab the world by the tail and put it in your pocket, otherwise you will be living in a van down by the river.” She would like to give the underclassmen the advice, “Live in the moment, and don’t take things so seriously, because it will all be over in the blink of an eye.”

Jordan Nicole Dassinger, daughter of Travis and Jan Dassinger, is involved in NHS, FBLA, K-Club, STUCO, basketball, track, and dance. After high school, Jordan hopes to attend either the University of Nebraska at Kearney or Central Community College where she will enter the Pre-Dental Hygiene program. Outside of school, Jordan enjoys riding, rodeoing and hang-ing out with friends and family. When asked what class has prepared her the most for the future she replied, “My college biology class, because I already have an idea what college classes are like.” What Jordan will miss the most about high school is playing sports and seeing her friends each day. She would like to give the underclassmen the advice, “Have fun and make the most of high school because before you know it, it’s over.” Jordan lives by the verse Joshua 1:9, “ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you, wherever you go.”

Riley Richard Pulver is the son of J.R. and Laurie Pulver. Although Riley is undecided on a major, he plans to attend the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He is involved in NHS, FBLA, K-Club, Band, and Track. Outside of school, you can find Riley hunting, fishing, or washing cars downtown at the Ford dealership. His greatest high school memory is when he qualified for State Track in Omaha, where he participated in high jump. When he was asked if he could add something to the school he said, “Work release, because it would give us more real-world experience.” Riley lives by the verse Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Riley would like to give the underclassmen the advice, “Work hard, play hard.”

Congratulations Senior Class of

2015!

Students perform in the University of

Nebraska-Kearney Honor Band and Choir

By Courtney Kuehn

To get into honor band and honor choir, one needs to try out. Taylor Reimersma was admitted to honor band, and Jack Duffy and Dariana Burr were selected for honor choir this year at UNK. Taylor wanted to try out because it was the first year he could, and he wanted to get his name out there, and since he was the only one going to honor band from Kenesaw, he was really proud and hoped to have an enjoyable experience. To get into honor band or choir, one needs to get a piece of music, practice it, and record it. The UNK honor band and choir performed on Mon-day, January 26.

Kenesaw welcomes student teacher, James Beavers By Austin Schnitzler

James David Beavers is an art lover with a lot of life ahead of him. Mr. Beavers was born in Arizona and moved to Nebraska three months later. His family moved around a little bit more before settling in Blue Hill where he attended high school, playing football, basketball, and running track and field. After high school, he attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln to get a degree in graphic design; however, dur-ing his third year at UNL, he decided he wanted to teach people about the love of his life; he transferred to the University of Nebraska Kearney to get his Art Teaching Degree, which took him four years to ac-quire. When the search started for a school to student teach at, no Kearney school would take any stu-dent art teachers so he told the people in charge, when they asked, to start searching the southeast part of the state, hoping he would get a school close to his Blue Hill hometown. That search ended up landing him a student teaching job right here in Kenesaw, Nebraska. He is the understudy of Mrs. Schwenka. Mr. Beavers' favorite grade to teach so far is elementary. He said he likes the kids' attitudes toward the creation of art even though it can become hectic. In his free time, he does like to hunt and fish, but I learned that Mr. Beavers does not like to go beaver trapping. James Beavers will only spend a couple months at Kenesaw Public Schools, but he will surely acquire much knowledge and go on to become a wonderful art teacher wherever that may be.

Austin Klatt named student of the month

Austin Klatt has been chosen as the December 2014 student leader of the month. Oftentimes when students are selected for an award such as this, accolades and previous public recognition accompany the feat; however, sometimes the simple ideas of hard work and improvement can be overlooked. This year, Austin has shown significant improvement. Austin has turned into a silent worker in class who attacks tasks with great deter-mination and rigor. He works hard to understand material, asks great questions, takes the initiative to make sure make-up work is completed when he misses school, and has demonstrated great study habits outside of school. He has also taken the time to come in after school to fix assignments and earn a better grade. When assessing the student body, one might overlook one who has improved as greatly as Austin this year because he has done so silently. Those who have paid close attention, however, have seen a young man putting his best foot forward and working harder than he ever has before. For these reasons, Austin Klatt deserves recognition as a leader in our school.

Kenesaw Boys’ Basketball Team enters conference play as top seed By Kelsey Jaeschke

The Kenesaw Boys’ Basketball team has had a successful season thus far, going 11-5. The team is averaging 49.9 points a game, along with 32.1 rebounds. Leading the team is junior Preston Schnitzler, averaging 16.9 points per game, with junior Carson Woodman close behind at 9.9 points per game. Head Coach Jack Einrem feels his team has, "played good basketball most of the season and improved in many are-as". With the loss of four seniors last year, they've had to fill spots on the bench. "Our seniors have done a nice job of helping the younger players fitting into their roles,” said Coach Einrem when asked who have been the leaders this season. Although sooner than anticipated, some younger players have had to step up and contribute to varsity but have done a nice job. Looking into next week, the boys are ranked #1 seed in the Twin Valley Conference and will take on either Harvard or Franklin on Monday. Coach Einrem feels, "We are starting to play more consistent, and that should help us during the conference tournament."

Kenesaw Girls’ Basketball Team looks to build on two game win streak By Danielle Katzberg

The Kenesaw Lady Blue Devils have kept pressing on through the season. Right now the team’s record stands at 8-8, but the girls look to improve this stat as they head into conference games. After a loss to Wil-cox-Hildreth’s Falcons (62-45), the Blue Devils im-proved their record with a win against Axtell (50-39). The team then fell in tough competition to Harvard and Giltner, but rose to victory against Lawrence-Nelson (42-36). As for Elm Creek, the ladies dropped in a tough battle when they lost by a bucket with six seconds remaining. Junior Brielle Schneider said, “If we would have had fewer turnovers, I think we could have won easily. We need to start the first half how we start the second half.” The Lady Blue then went on to defeat both Franklin (65-40) and Pleasanton (48-27). Junior Brielle Schneider leads the team in scoring averaging 14.6 points a game. Junior Kelsey Jaeschke is a close second averaging 10.2 points per game. Seniors Jordan Dassinger and Brenna Schneider also contribute to the scoreboard, averaging 8.2 and 6.2 points each game, respectively. As for rebounding, the seniors set the bar with Dassinger averaging 7.0 rebounds per game and Brenna Schneider averaging 6.3. Jordan Dassinger leads the team in blocks per game, averaging 1.1 blocks; juniors Kelsey Jaeschke and Staci Weavers follow Dassinger closely, averaging 0.6 and 0.4 per game respectively.

January Results

January Results

Jr. High Boys’ Basketball Team starts off with impressive wins By Jordan Dassinger

The Kenesaw Junior High Boys’ Basketball team, coached by Christian Kroos, is off to a great start. The team started the season by defeating Shelton, Silver Lake, and Franklin, but fell to Christ Lutheran by three points. Coach Kroos commented on the season by saying, “It has gone well, we are improving every game, and the kids are having fun. The boys are good shooters and are able to score points.” The team is continuing to improve on learning help defense and boxing out. In Coach Kroos’s eyes, the highlight of the sea-son thus far is the boys’ ability to score a lot of points and transition into their offense. Coach Kroos believes the 8th grade boys will transition well into high school because they run a lot of the same schemes that the high school does. The biggest change for them will be the speed of the game.

Kenesaw/Shelton wrestlers start another season strong By Noemi Aime

The Kenesaw-Shelton Devil Dog wrestlers are once again in the middle of an extremely success-ful season. The team is composed of the varsity wrestlers Hunter Foster (113 lbs), Dalton Kautz (120lb), Elmer Montanez (132lbs), Franc Sauceda (138 lbs), Jaison Andrist (145 lbs), Stephen Duffy (152 lbs), Jack Duffy (160 lbs), Jose Gomez (170 lbs), Jake Brunk (182 lbs), Red Johnson (195 lbs), Omar Gomez (220 lbs) and Junior Sauceda (285 lbs); the junior varsity wrestlers in-clude Micah Magnuson (120 lbs), Miguel Corral (120 lbs), Levi Kautz (126 lbs), Elmer Montanez (126 lbs), Brandon Mashbrun (132 lbs), Charlie Sesna (145 lbs), Enrique Velasquez (152 lbs), Daniel Duffy (152 lbs), Daly Haller (160 lbs), Jordan Williams (160 lbs), Taylor Riemersma (170 lbs), Walker Hermann (182 lbs) and Tyler Long (182 lbs). Led by Jack Duffy with a record of 28-4 and Elmer Montanez with a 22-5, the team practices at Kenesaw for one week and then at Shelton for another week. “I think this [practicing in two dif-ferent schools] is good because the wrestlers are at home at both schools,” said Kenesaw coach Mike Pritchard when asked about how practice works between two schools. According to him, Stephen Duffy is the one who has improved the most, and Magnuson, Brunk and Jack Duffy are the ones who had to cut more weight, in a range of 10-15 lbs. When asked about his strategy on losing 25 lbs in two-three weeks, Jake Brunk commented, “I woke up early every morning, then came to the school, put layers of clothes on, and then worked out. My lunches consisted of protein shakes most of the time, and maybe a chicken breast. I would go to wrestling practice, and after that, go home, eat chicken or fish, then just repeat, re-peat, repeat.” Jack Duffy lost 15 lbs, and he said, “Mostly, I just don’t eat, combined with rigorous training each day. Initially, I was losing fat, but now as the season has hit its stride I lose water weight. After a weekend I usually end up weighing around 168, leaving me 6 pounds to lose by Saturday. This is done by practicing each day, and by restricting my diet to fruit and limited meat and protein sources. On the day before the meet, I eat and drink nothing.”

In an effort to recognize a high level of achievement in scholastic endeavor, an honor roll is published every nine weeks. To be on the “A” Honor Roll, a student must average 93 or above, with no grade below 86, and only one grade below 92. To be on the ”B” Honor Roll, a student must have an average of 86 or above, with no grade below 81, and only one grade below 85. Classes must meet a mini-mum of four times a week to be averaged in the Honor Roll. Grades are based on academic courses only. Students who have “incompletes” are not eligible.
