Onekama
students have seen many teachers come and go,
either for their own reasons or the schools
reasons. The few who stayed have figured out how
to bond and get along with the students. It is
these teachers who have left lasting impressions
on the students. One such teacher is Ann
Kullenberg.
Ann Kullenburg is a
teacher of whom students will never forget. Her
unique techniques make learning fun. “Ms. K
makes students want to learn new things by her
enthusiasm in class,” said Rebecca Bowman.
Ms. K's (as students refer) career began as a
“freak accident,” a fluke. She is now
working in the math department of Onekama School
and the computer department at the Manistee ISD.
In a recent interview, Ms. K admitted that her
students are the
|
most
important part of her teaching career. She also
mentioned past experiences she has shared with
the students. One of the many experiences she has
shared was accidentally setting the ceiling tile
on fire with sodium. Ms. K is a very energetic
and active person in class and out. “Ms.
Kullenberg is quite entertaining in class,
learning is actually fun. I can't imagine Cisco
next year without her,” said Tom Meoak.
Outside of class she enjoys kayaking, riding
bikes, bunnies, and rolling in the grass. In the
summer, she spends most of her time bare foot and
enjoys squishing mud between her toes. In
conclusion, Ms. K is one of O-Towns finest
teachers. She is a true example of a fun,
energetic, and experienced teacher. “Vita
brevis ars longa!”-Ann Kullenberg.

Building
Blocks to Graduation
Katie Baker, Senior
It all began in
1990, a room packed full of kindergartners. All
the same little kids with runny noses and smiling
faces showing off missing teeth. Playing with the
building blocks for hours, acting out a simple
game of house in the big playhouse in the room;
it was all fun and games. Those little kids are
now graduating. They no longer fit in the
playhouse, most have had their teeth altered in
some way, and college applications have been
filled out. The class of 2003 are looking into
the future and what it beholds instead of
wondering what game they'll be playing next.
One of the most
extraordinary things about the class of 2003 is
that most of them have all been together for so
long. Sixteen of the original kids from the
kindergarten class of 1990 are still here. They
have been together through all of the Christmas
Programs, junior high dances and high school
drama.
|
The class of 2003 has also
lost many of their fellow classmates through the
years. They used to be known as a large class but
have since dwindled down to a measly twenty-six,
with the sixteen of them having been through it
all. The
class of 2003 will always remember their freshman
year when the seniors trashed their homecoming
float. They all thought it was the end of the
world and spent the hours before the parade
rebuilding it. They will remember the sixth grade
dance they had in Mr. Thompson's band room. All
the junior high dances, where all that mattered
was who was going out with whom, or who was
crying in the girl's bathroom. Then there was
Dinner Theatre, the show that brought them all
back in one more time, to show how great of a
class they were and what they could do. And
finally, the last days of their senior year,
where everyone is realizing that it's almost all
over.
It is almost time
to take the giant step and walk down the aisle,
diploma in hand, to kiss Onekama goodbye. All
twenty-six seniors are heading in different
places, to lead different lives. All sixteen of
them that have been together the past thirteen
years may never see each other again. All they
can do is hold on to their memories and cherish
them-- all thirteen years of dances, games, first
kisses, and gossip.
“We've
always known we would look back on our tears with
laughter, but we never thought we'd look back on
our laughter with tears.”

Not So Slim Pickens
Mike Ivinson,
Freshmen
The
Fender Music Company has two guitars that many
people feel surpass the competition. This company
has many models of guitars, but this has to be
one of the best ever.
Fender
Guitars recently introduced the American Deulxe
series of electric guitars coming back to some of
the Stratocaster and Telecaster models.
The
American Deluxe Stratocaster 010-1000 is the
ultimate in high performance and handles very
finely. It is rigid, lean, and agile. Features
include three Fender Vintage-Noiseless pickups
with hot bridge for extra punch and sustain,
polished chrome locking machine heaslor,
|
(keeping
the guitar in tune) highly detailed fre and nut
work, Abolone dot inlays, and agest plastic
parts. The contoured, solid
Alder and Ash body comes in candy tangerine and
teal green transparent colors. The left-handed
version of this guitar is the American Deluxe
Stratocaster and comes in aged cherry sunburst.
The
American Deluxe Telecaster includes two Fender
Vintage- Noiseless
Tele pickups and a Bi-Flex truss rod, plus a
Micro Tilt neck adjustment that allows for
players to fine-tune their playing style. The
Telecaster is available in bound-top premium
Alder or Ash body and contoured back in aged
cherry sunburst, white blonde, or candy
tangerine.
