Class of 2024: Senior Feature

By Elle Falk & Saylor Hutfles

ALEXIS ANN BREWER

Lexi, daughter of Becky and the late Mark Brewer, is the youngest of three children. “Angie Taft would be the teacher that influenced me the most because she always teaches and cares if her students understand their work,” Brewer said. After graduation she plans to take summer classes at Crowder College and major in the Vet Tech program. If money, talent and location, were no object, Lexi’s dream job would be getting to work with large animals and be outside.

 

 

 

 

MADISON KAY DOUGHERTY

Madison, daughter of Mike and Lisa Dougherty, was born in Falls City and has three siblings. Her favorite high school course is advanced video production because she loves making videos for the school and the community. Madison plans on attending Southeast Community College in Lincoln to get her associate degree in nursing. “When I leave, I’m going to miss the family-like environment at Sacred Heart,” Dougherty said.  Madison’s most embarrassing high school memory was when she fell over in her desk in Linda Kirkendall’s classroom on the first day of freshmen year. If Madison could choose one song to play every time, she walked into a room, she would choose “Fancy” by Charli XCX and Iggy Azalea.

 

 

 

ELLE MAE FALK

Elle, daughter of Alesia Coetzee and Andrew Falk, was born in Nebraska City. She is the oldest out of five half siblings. Her favorite school lunch is chicken noodle soup. “My favorite school course is math because it always came easy to me but still challenged me,” Falk said. After graduation, Elle plans on attending Southeast Community College to study radiology. She will miss the how small the school and classes are when she is gone. Her most embarrassing high school memory would be The Addam’s Family skit sophomore year.

 

 

 

 

LEILA MARIE FREDERICK

Leila, daughter of Sean and Marsha Frederick, was born in Falls City and has two brothers. Her favorite high school course is art because it’s a class she can relax in and can depend on her creative ability. “My most embarrassing high school memory was when I was running backwards in track warmups, and I face planted in front of everyone,” Frederick said. Leila plans to attend Peru State College and eventually end up at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to become a nurse. If money, talent and location, etc. were no object, Leila’s dream job would be to be an anesthesiologist because she thinks it would be interesting and is a needed profession. Leila described her senior years as “stressful, bliss and bubble.”

 

 

 

 

JAMES DANIEL FROESCHL

James, son of David and Kate Keithley and Eric Froeschl, was born in Falls City and has two sisters. His favorite school lunch is crispitos, and his favorite high school course is drama and film because he gets to watch fun movies with his friends. James isn’t sure what he is doing after high school but knows he is not going to a four-year college. “When I’m gone, I’m going to miss seeing my friends every day,” Froeschl said. If James could choose one song to play every time he walked into a room, he would choose “Un Poco Loco” from the movie “Coco.” The three words James would use to describe his senior year are, “It was fun.”

 

 

 

 

SAYLOR LEORA HUTFLES

The Sacred Heart tradition Saylor is most proud of is open house because it brings everyone together to celebrate the start of a new year. Saylor plans to attend Southeast Community College in Lincoln for dental assisting and plans to work with an orthodontist. If Saylor was stuck on a deserted island she would bring a lighter, a battery pack charger and blueberries. If money, talent, location, etc. were no object, Saylor would be a stay-at-home mom. “I could always have my house clean and have my own chickens and cows,” Hutfles said.

Zach’s favorite school lunch is crispitos.

 

 

 

 

VAUGHN DANIEL LENARD

Vaughn, son of Danitra Dill and Jason Lenard, was born in Falls City and has four siblings. If he was stranded on an island he would bring a camper, a charger and his phone. After high school Vaughn plans to go to Southeast Community College in Lincoln to study in business. If money, talent and location were no object, he would own a billion-dollar company and hire people to do his work while he lives in Florida. “I’m going to miss not having adult responsibilities when I leave,” Lenard said. Vaughn’s favorite high school memory was the senior homecoming skit, and he described his senior year as “fun, stressful and easier.”

JACK CHRISTOPHER STICE

Jack, son of Julie and Donnie Stice, was born in Falls City, Nebraska and is the fourth child out of five.

If Jack could describe his senior year in three words it would be “fast, exciting and fun.”
