Jungle Boogie
After the homecoming game was almost rained out the central football players came back tp the field a little wet and ambitious, and they triumped. Central won the first game of the season against the Grand Island Gators. After Central‘s first victory everyone was ready to celebrate at the homecoming dance
. Homecoming took place earlier this year on September 12th, compared to the past years October dates. Although the search for the perfect dress and shoes was a little more rushed then up, Central students showed up and were looking swell.
The Pom Squad and Mrs. Luethge came up with the theme and were in charge of decorations.
“Mrs. Luegthe came up with the theme Jungle Boogie and it sort of turned into a tropical rainforest theme”, says Pom Squad member Catherine Carter (12).
The pom squad arrived the morning of the dance at 7 in the morning to decorate the Gymnasium and the Cafeteria.
“We spilt up into groups of 4 and 5 and everyone had their own tasks to accomplish,” says Carter, “I was in charge of putting the backdrop on the bleachers.”
The homecoming king and queen were Ayomide Adekunle and Alexis Page.
“I really didn’t expect to become homecoming king,” says Adekunle, “When they put the crown on my head all I could do was smile, I was so happy.”
The D.J. played favorites such as “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas, oldies such as “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls, and “Thriller” by Michael Jackson.
The music stopped at 10:30, and after a night of dancing, laughing, and singing everyone could agree that Homecoming was an unforgettable night.

Cancer at 15
By: Blair Emsick
Hannah Harlow didn’t expect to find out the she had an 8 pound tumor in her right ovary when she went to get her annual sports physical this summer, but this is exactly what happened.
“The doctor was feeling around my stomach and said, ‘That’s not normal…’”, says Harlow.
Harlow had no inkling that she had a tumor inside of her, but she knew something was not normal.
“I just thought I had put on a little weight”, laughs Harlow.
After her sports physical Harlow’s doctor sent her to the Children’s Hospital where Harlow had to take a series of different tests. She had to take tests such as an Ultrasound, and an ET scan. Later that day, after Harlow’s test were completed she went back to the hospital to get her results.
“The doctor was really blunt about it, he just said, ‘Alright want to see pictures of your tumor?”
Harlow was shocked as she looked at the pictures of her eight pound tumor inside of her. The tumor was about the size of a 6 month old fetus. Harlow was supposed to have surgery immediately to remove the tumor but she was going to Europe for two weeks. Since her tumor caused her no pain her doctor permitted her to go on the trip and scheduled the surgery when she came back to Omaha.
Harlow had her surgery and the tumor was removed, unfortunately the tumor was attached to one of her ovaries so they had to remove the ovary as well. After the surgery Harlow was relieved of her tumor and completely healthy.
“I was really out of it for a few weeks after the surgery, but once I recovered from surgery , I could really feel the results of the surgery, It was great.”
However the story isn’t finished. A few weeks after her first surgery Hannah received a call from her doctor telling her that the tumor was cancerous and that they had to do a follow up surgery to see if there was any more cancer inside of her, this is called Staging.
“Staging is basically where they cut you up right down the middle and the doctor takes samples from each organ to see if it’s cancerous,” explains Harlow.
Fortunately all the cancer inside Harlow was completely gone, she is now healthy and normal, with one ovary, and Harlow can now put the whole ordeal behind her and look forward to the future.

What is this turning in to?
Trip to a Foreign Land
By Blair Emsick
Niki Holzapfel got the experience of a lifetime when she had the opportunity to go to Germany through the German American Youth Society Exchange Program this summer. This Program shares a twin city with Omaha in Germany called Braunshweig in Northern Germany. In the program each student in the exchange program is matched with a host family and a host partner. Then the American student will go to Germany for three weeks, and then the German student will come to America for three weeks.
Holzapfel first found out about the Exchange program from her German teacher at Central. Her father asked about an exchange program during open house, and her teacher recommended the German American Society's program. It turned out to be a success and Holzapfel was able to become involved in the program, and go to Germany.
“My host family was the Hesses, my host partner was Anabel“, says Holzapfel “During the weekdays, our American group would go on daytrips to various places like the Volkswagon factory, the Braunshweig police station, the Beregen Beisen concentration camp, and neighboring cities like Hamburg and Berlin”, continues Holzapfel.
Holzapfel’s eyes were open to a whole new different cultural experience in her three weeks in Germany.
“It’s a lot greener then people then the United States. People walk and ride bikes much more then driving…An effective transportation also makes it incredibly easy to be a teenagers”. says Holzapfel.
Holzapfel spent her three weeks in Germany growing very close to her host family. They took Holzapfel to places such as the North Sea, Bremerhaven and to the Harz Mountains. She also did a whole lot of shopping with her host partner Anabel.
“I loved my host family. I still keep in touch with my host family, they’re absolutely my second family” laughs Holzapfel.
Holzapfel was able to see and whole new side of the world, and was awakened to a whole new culture, an opportunity students rarely get to have. However “Germany was surprisingly Americanized” says Holzapfel,“There are American songs on the radio, American movies in the theaters, and American stores in the shopping centers. It showed me how much of a cultural influence we are.”
Holzapfel says she is planning to go back to Braunshweig after she graduates.
“In the end this trip opened my eyes to the amazing beauty in the world. It also made me want to travel more. This whole exchange was amazing, I would recommend it to anyone who was considering traveling to Germany”
