The varsity soccer game against Gateway High School on Thursday, October 4th was a success. The final score was 7 to 2.
The first goal was scored by senior Ben Hobson. Junior David Kellond blocked several difficult shots.
“Even though I couldn’t play because of my injury the team was playing well,” said junior Nate Guthals.
The first goal scored against the Lions was in the middle of the first half. Then Hobson scored again. Senior John Zenk nearly scored but was denied by an impressive block by the Gateway goalie. Before the end of the half, Joe Low scored on Gateway, and Hobson scored yet another. The score at the end of the half was 4-1.
The beginning goal of the second half was scored by junior Pedro Garibo. Two more goals were scored by seniors Mark Tronrud and A.J. Alt. The final goal of the Gateway team was a free kick from a foul by Garibo.

First cabaret of the year shows off talent
By Jenny Archer
On Friday October 5, the first of this year’s cabaret performances was held. Cabaret is a talent show hosted by the Thespians, and open for everyone to perform in. The theme for this show was Halloween.
This cabaret had fourteen acts, ranging from piano duets, singing, poetry, comedy sketches and skits. Many students even performed in more than one act. Sam Katz, Doron Burks, and Sam Golden were the emcees for the show. Traditionally, cabaret is performed in the back of the stage with chairs set up around the stage to create an intimate setting. However, this performance was held with seating in the house, because the set for the upcoming performance of Romeo and Juliet was on stage.
Junior Brittany Newell performed her own slam poetry at cabaret. “I chose to do my own written slam poetry in front of that crowd because I knew they would welcome me with open arms, and even though I was nervous, everyone really supported me,” Newell said.
Performances were judged by junior Lexi Warden, senior Kaylen Higgens, and senior Allison Banowsky. Senior Jeff Garland was awarded best overall act. Garland performed satirical poetry that kept audiences laughing. Best musical act went to seniors Esther Lee and Maggie Slack who sang “I can’t help falling in love with you,” with accompaniment by Lee on the piano. The award for the best non-musical act went to Cecily Boley and Hailey Nelson who performed a comedy skit.
“Cecily and Hailey totally deserved to win [best non-musical act],” Newell said. “Their chemistry and the accents that they did were key and perfect and I couldn’t have chosen two other people who would have done it better.”
The show was closed by senior Ben Lee, who performs at most cabarets. He did a stand-up routine that had the audience laughing.
Cabaret showed off the versatile talents of students at LHS. “It was really funny, it was cool that they had a good variety of acts. It was very good. The emcees did a great job,” senior Mandee Mramor said.
