The 58th annual Marian High School Crusader yearbook was published by 25 incredible Journalism II staffers and our amazing adviser. Through the creative power of our staff, Marian: the place

to be came to life.The theme idea for Marian: the place to be came from a collabora-

tion of ideas all meeting at the UNL journalism camp in the summer of 2015. The watercolor and sketch book visual concept came from the down-to-Earth yet vibrant personality of Marian itself. Through summer meetings and hard work in August, the book’s creative vision continued to evolve.

Without the help of several important people, our yearbook would still be rough sketches on scrap paper. Special thanks to Mrs. Mary Hig-gins [69], School President, and Mrs. Susie Sullivan [80], School Princi-pal. Without their support and encouragement, this yearbook would not have been possible. Thank you to Linda Bernard, our Balfour represen-tative, and Catherine Simoneaux, our in-plant representative.

Thank you to our fellow journalism students: the Pretty in Ink

Network staff and the Journalism I classes for sharing space, resources, creativity and most importantly inspiration. Thank you to our parents for providing the encouragement and food required to get through the long hours before deadlines.

Included in the $350 activity fee, $45 went to pay for a yearbook for each student. To further supplement the yearbook budget, we sold ad space to senior parents for the graduating daughter(s). Ads were sold for $45 and $90 before Oct. 15 and $50 and $100 until Dec. 1.

The Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior headshot photo credit goes to Sundee and the Picture Chicks of Pyles Studio. Senior headshots were provided by the senior class from their chosen photography studios. All other photos are credited to the appropriate people in the lower left corner of each page.

Our main copy fonts are Alfonso, Rinna, MyUnderwood and !SketchyTimes. Our pages are printed on 100 pound paper and the cover was printed on a linen stock. Our color scheme was inspired by the Balfour color chart sent to our staff in the beginning of the year.

Please forgive any errors found with Marian: the place to be. They were unintentional. If you have concerns about the content of this year-book, please contact our advisor, Mrs. Marsha Kalkowski.

The Crusader is a member of the Nebraska High School Press As-sociation, the National Scholastic Press Association, and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

I would like to take this time to thank my staff. Without your hard-work, dedication, patience and passion we never would have succeeded in making this book. You are all true inspirations and I have loved get-ting to work with all of you. My biggest thanks in the world goes to Mrs. Kalkowski. Without your help and direction, we would have been stuck on day one. Thank you for your advice and guidance when we had no idea what we were doing. I will miss you, and the whole staff, so much. Lastly, thank you to the Marian student body. Without such an amazing and busy group of people, we would have nothing to cover.

The Place to be Loved: During the Sign of Peace at Mass, Shayla Taute [16] and Sydney Miller [16] give each other a big hug. Girls embrace the idea of Marian sisterhood at Mass by hugging instead of handshakes. This is one of the most beloved traditions at Marian.

ORGANIZATIONSMarian is the place to be

involved. From crossing the finish line of your first Cross

Country meet to jumping in Lake Cunningham for Polar Plunge in 12 degree weather, girls are able to

follow their passions through their

extracurricular activities. Through these sports, clubs and

organizations, students can develop their talents and minds

outside of the classroom. Girls learn through

perseverance and hard work that they can accomplish their goals

by using their gifts. Involvement in extracurricular activities creates memories and

friendships that will stand the test of time.

“The softball team really is a family. Being involved in something so special gives myself and my teammates a place

to belong.” Kellyn Daly [16]

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend: Lifting the trophy high in the air, the softball team rejoices as they win the school’s first soft-ball State Championship. The girls worked hard to have a winning year placed on the banner.

“Marian is the place to be fully yourself. Coming into Marian, I thought the juniors and seniors were practically adults, never imagining that I would one day be as confident and comfortable as they

were. My experience as a leader at Freshman Retreat this year showed me how much Marian has inspired me to transform into one of those confident, comfortable,

(almost) grown-up Marian girls.”Rachel Walet [17]

Marian is the place to be inspired. From counting

rubber bands for the freshman Bungee Barbie math project to singing their class song at Mass, the girls create a deeper bond. Over the four years, students discover that they can rely on

one another as not only classmates to learn with, but

sisters to learn from. The members of this sisterhood motivate each other to reach success by sharing ideas and

life lessons. Through the inspiration gained from faculty

and students, Marian girls acquire wisdom, memories,

and a sisterly bond that will last forever.

What was your favorite memory of Senior Retreat?

“My favorite experience at retreat was the small group activities. Due to the atmosphere, I got to experience the game, down by the banks, in a unique way with my

classmates.” Madi Golden [16]

the class to be in...

“This one time I took a shower after my PE class. I had study hall, so I just brought my soap and stuff and spent like a half hour in there. It was nice because my family wasn’t there to yell at me to get out.”

Hannah Saalfeld [16]

“My favorite part about accounting is that all of the work is online, and Mr. Panning does an awesome job of explaining everything in a way that’s easy to understand.” Ella Wente [17]

“Honors Independent research is a really unique class. You can’t just ask the teacher, ‘Is this right?’ because they don’t know either. You really become the expert on whatever topic you choose to research.” Nithali Sridhar [16]
