This month of love
has two splendid students
making their way into the
heart of the BOTM books.
First there is senior Ryan Brown, who
is a secret mastermind for
both the school paper and
the yearbook.
“I spend
three periods a day with Mr.
Burkle.” Brown specializes
in the ins and outs of design, Favorite Egg Order:
photography, and managing Scrambled...with cheese
the development of articles. Magazine: Sports IllusBrown has played
trated
soccer and basketball all
Condiment: Ranch
throughout high school, and
football for his first two. He
has also been in student council and in NHS
during his time here.
Following
high
school, Brown will attend
the UNK, where he will
major in sports communication. “One day, I hope
to run my own paper.”
Winning BOTM is no
easy feat, and Ryan is glad
he could accept the award.
“It was an honor,” he
said. “It’s been something I’ve always wanted.”
Maybe one day, this
star pupil will be covering
the Super Bowl on ESPN.

Number two Bulldog of the Month is senior
Pacer Annah Wesslund. She
has been involved in Key Club
from sophomore to senior year,
and has been a member of the
Dance Factory for eight years.
“I was really excited,” upon receiving the honor. Not only has she worked
diligently in school, but out of
school as well.
Since last Septem- Favorite movie: The
ber, Wesslund has worked at Proposal
the Sports Shoppe. “I like the Color: Pink
hours, because I usually have Food: Fettuccine Alfredo
time to work on homework.”
She has occasionally
rung bells and served Salvation Army supper for her
church, First United Methodist. Additionally, she has been
on the yearbook staff for two
years.
Wesslund plans on attending the UNL to pursue a
career in medicine. "Physiology made me want to enter
this field, but I can't handle
the blood and guts, so my options are limited."
Her advice to underclassmen is this: “Don’t take the
easy way out. Taking those
hard classes will help you in
the future.” We recommend
listening to this bright young
lady's advice.
Kettle O'Connor
A big popping thanks for her generous donation of a bag of microwavable kettle corn to two hungry editors during a second period
class. If everybody were a little more like Mrs. O'Connor and fed
hungry students, we would all be really obese, but hey, that's not
the point!
