Interior Design Trend: There are trends such as interior design that have been started off of Tik Tok, ranging from DIY furniture to color themes and wall designs. Cloud/LED walls, bubble furniture, modern black/white color themes and rather wacky trends like basket walls and tile furniture are just a few examples.

Starting Trends: “It's next to impossible to start a large trend in a small town, but I bought white Nike Air Force mids after seeing Sabrina Carpenter rock them, and I noticed a few people come to school with them a few weeks after I started wearing them,” Zoey Schultz (21) said. “They're pretty popular shoes now, so I obviously can't say I started the trend overall, but it makes me happy that a few people might have bought some after I wore them, because I love how they look.”

Use of Imagination: “I enjoy reading books because reading the words allows one to envision the characters with your imagination,” Drew Long (23) said. “The lack of visuals in many books leaves room for interpretation that doesn't exist in many other mediums.I'd say that, right now, I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is my favorite (Asimov is my favorite author). I do prefer books over movies. I like how I can just pick up a book, read 20 pages, set it down, and move on with my life. With movies, I have to sit down and watch the movie for a couple of hours. Not that I don't like movies, I just prefer books.”

Love For Gretna: “I love the students and staff at Gretna,” Ms. Wredt said. “They are amazing to work with and I feel that they are very welcoming.

What A Relief: "It was so relieving and exciting when I got to finally sign," Mackenzie Devine (21) said. "I chose Missouri Western because it had everything I wanted. I liked that it was only two hours from Omaha and an hour from Kansas City. I felt super welcome when I first visited there and it also had the program I wanted to study."

D-D-D- Defense; The underclassmen are sad to see players leaving such as pitcher Grace Buffington (21). "I will miss the seniors," Ella Watts (23) said. "Not just because they did a lot for the team, but also because they were my friends in real life, so it's just sad to see them go." Not only Watts, but everyone left on the Dragons softball team said a sorrowful goodbye as the seniors played their very last high school game.

Open Mind: Meeting new people has taught senior Madi Nash (21) how to have a good time and go with the flow. “Keep an open mind,” Nash said. “I was very hesitant to be open when I went on my first mission trip just because I didn’t know anybody and I am more of a reserved person. Me keeping an open mind on the trip is what made me have such a good time.”

Since his freshman year, Zane Mrozla-Mindrup has been an intelligent and impactful team member of the quiz bowl team. "Zane has been on the quiz bowl team for the past two years since he was a freshman," quiz bowl sponsor Rick Arch said. "He seeked out the quiz bowl team, but his middle school teachers had recommended him so I probably would have found him if he hadn't come into practice. You need to be extremely knowledgeable but also a good teammate to be a part of quiz bowl. He is both."

Creating Shows: "Making a show choir show has helped me understand what my teachers go through to create shows," Polivanov said. "It takes a lot of effort, but I really liked finding songs that went together. Trying to make shows cleverly put together is not an easy task, but in the end it's definitely worth it. I would honestly perform the show that our group created."

New Normal: "If my family and I wanted to go out, we can't because these places are closed," Maylee Tarver (23) said. "That's one example of how these places have affected me.

Times Changing: "Senior year was supposed to be an amazing year. It is. It was great. I'm trying to make the best of it," Rhodes (20) said. "We all been saying that 2020 is our year no cap. Well, now we may not have a gown either and we cannot even see our diploma. It's changing rapidly everyday but I have been finding things to do and they help distract me. It seems like the days drag but looking back time flew by."
