are based on faith

With student led Bible stud-

ies, students at Red Lion

Christian Academy succeeded in all areas of

their education, including student life, sports, and academ-

ics.

New additions such as the media Center and zero hour classes

provided a place where students could expand their learning expe-

rience. A longer school day allowed more time for students to grow

academically. With programs like the college preparatory, honors

and advanced placement classes, students were given the opportu-

nity to choose what level of study that best fit their academic abilities.

The sports program continued to perform in ways never imagined

and as the new multi- sport athletic stadium was opened, the play-

ers were given the chance to demonstrate their God -given talents.

Several teams’ hard work on the field, ended with acceptance into

state tournaments creating more school spirit and game atten-

dance contributing to the schools student life.

The new addi- tions to the

school added to

the spiritual growth

that created a strong

spiritual foundation for

future growth.Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Colossians 2:7( NLT)

As the early morning sun rises and shines on the campus, students, teachers and friends meet

around the flag pole to pray on September 26, 2007.

Gathering together with the Lake Forest High School soccer team, the JV squad prays at the

conclusion of their game.

Freshman: “a student in his or her first year,” says Webster’s New World Dictionary. That’s

right, “first year”, freshman year, and no matter what type of school, it’s the first year that

really does count. Students in their first year of high school have some very memorable expe-

riences. They are finally allowed to attend Homecoming, compete in varsity sports, and make their

class known at pep rallies. Most importantly they now have a high school transcript.

“Class spirit has really picked up. Our class went from being really calm to going crazy and

actually trying to win during pep rallies,” said Bryan Troutman. Freshmen get to participate in pep

rallies, going all out cheering as loud as they possibly can. Kelly Ventresca and Jenna Billings were

not only excited about being freshmen, but also about being in high school and looking forward to

their senior trip.

Kelly Ventresca said, “I’m really looking forward to rais-

ing money for our senior trip, and I can’t wait to spend the

next four years having a great time with all my friends.”

Lila Stevens said “ High school is so much better that

middle school, we get to participate in so much more like

spirit week, and pep rallies but our transcripts will follow us

now until college.”

Playing sports on the varsity level is an opportunity for athletes to compete with

the best in the state. Emma Sills runs in the Cross Country County meet at Winterthur in Wilmington. The girls team finished the season fourth in the state.

66 Field Hockey

By Nikki McMahan

Team makes it to their goal of the state tournament

icking her stick up for the drive, Melissa LeNoir steals the ball

away from her opponents from Cape Henlopen. This was the first time the

girls won the Turf Bowl.

ith a record of a 10-6-1, the field hockey girls really pushed hard to fulfill their motto, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Shelby Fite said, “Delmarva was the best game because the coach put Shannon Solimeo, a goalie on the front line and she scored. It made the whole team laugh.” Although many seniors will miss playing field hockey because they won’t continue in college, they all had many memories that they will always carry with them. Carmen Emerson said, “This season was tough but I’m really going to miss it because I’m not continuing in college.”Jessica Young and Ana Kempner both agreed that world cup was their favorite game to play as a team and something they won’t forget. With each game the field hockey girls played, they never forgot to include God. One way the girls set themselves apart from other teams was by giving oranges to the opponents to eat before each game and making sure that they always ended games with a prayer meeting in the center of the field with their opponents. One of the most memorable moments was the Delcastle game when the captain had her teammates pray in the middle of the field for their coach who was very ill at the time. Praying really touched the players and was something that they enjoyed doing. The season was one of many firsts. The biggest first was making it to the state tournament and play-ing the eventual state champion, Tower Hill. Although losing 5-0, the team held the Hillers scoreless in the second half. The other was winning the Turf Bowl game against Cape Henlopen for the first time in the five years they have participated. The Turf Bowl is an invitational tournament held at the University of Delaware field. Mrs. Swalm said she will miss the seniors very much next year. “I will miss Sammie Clark trying to get out of running sprints, Shannon Solimeo yelling from the goal, Jess Young and Carmen Emerson speed-ing down the field, Ana Kempner with her wicked drives, and Erin Zeisloft’s helpfulness. Most of all I will miss all of the bruises I won’t get next year.”

Midfielder, Jessica Young, flies down the field to defend her space against Tower Hill. Dur-

ing the first round of states.

Shannon Solimeo defends the goal against a shot from a Wilmington Christian player with

help some help from centerback, Ana Kempner.

Two of the most memorable

thing were beating Cape Henlopen in Turf Bowl and getting into states. These were really great accomplish-ments.”

Our team is very different

in the way we act unified. Although there is a junior varsity and varsity team, we don’t feel like we have separate teams because we are all close to each other.”

Being able to pray after each game

has helped me get in the practice of giving glory to God, and sets a great example for many other teams around us.”

Steve Kaczowka runs around the back of the goal, chased by a DMA player, in order to try to make

a goal. Steve’s favorite game was against Delcastle when they went into triple overtime.

Looking for an open pass to start the “wheel” play, Jon Stave helped in completing these plays.

“Having Coach Joe with us this year was awesome. He brought a lot of experience and really helped the team communicate better, which all eventually lead to our winning season.”

Carrying a long stick, defender, Ben

Crescenzo runs across the middle of the field looking for an offensive player to pass the ball to. The lacrosse team went on a campout at Lum’s Pond at the beginning of the season to get to know each other and just have a good time.

I play center mid-field. I have been playing soccer for thirteen years. My favorite game for last season

had to be against Caravel. It was a night game, and a bunch of our fans came out to support us. My fa-vorite part of the game was when Shannon Solimeo saved a penality kick preventing the other team from going up one to nothing. We ended up winning the game 4 to 0. It was a totally sweet game. Also, I loved how we beat our goal of winning over half of our games. The total outcome of the season was 12 and 4. The total amount of goals we scored was 54.” - Ahren Lewis

I think it was one of the best seasons of girls soccer. I could not believe how awesome we did. I wish I

tried harder though. Caravel game was one of my favorite games. We all wanted to win so badly. We played our hardest and we won. ‘Score goals, get water.’” - Jessica Fleagle

I really liked the games at night under the lights and away games because we got to play on different

fields other than our own field. I played mid-field because I can drop back and play defense and also go up to play offense.” - Candace Eilola

what will youremember about spiritual

renewal?

P articipating in-Spiritual Renewal really gave me a sense of responsibil-ity and leadership. It also gave me an outlet to help other people.” –Levi Sikes

A t the end of the week, it felt like everyone joined

the praise team and worshipped God. I thought it was cool how everyone was moved spiritually.” —Stephanie Bailey

quotablequotes

I felt moved when he taught us how to pray, so I prayed more often. It made

me feel better that I was applying things to my life.” – Julie Thomas

I remember praying under the blankets. I think that day showed how much we

value prayer. People these days don’t have a lot of time to pray, and it was like a window of time in order to do that.” –Jackie Joson

The song that says ‘take the shackles off my feet…’ by Jaci

Velesquez gave examples of how God sets us free. It’s humbling how God forgives us all the time, and we don’t really do that. I liked the tabernacle prayer and how seri-ous it was.” – Emily Gripp

I thought it was really great because one of my friends

got saved; it was really cool. I feel like I changed a little bit throughout the week.”

– Alyssa Ainsworth

It was a good time to renew my prayer life and take my

faith seriously. I remember the hoopas and how we prayed the whole chapel.” – Elizabeth Smith

If there is any class that prepares students for the “real world,” it would be yearbook. Students learn skills as writing, graphic design, photography, managing money and most of all, how to meet a deadline. Oh, those dreaded deadlines. There were many times when several of the students would stay after school until late into the night, when there was no one left in the building to get the pages finished for one of four deadlines. On Friday, February 22, students enjoyed a day off of school for the first snow day of the year, except for senior co-editor Max Stevens and adviser Mr. Hamrick. It wasn’t all work, many

of the late nights were made a little nicer with pizza, chicken and fries from the local pizzeria, Amore’s. The theme of the book was “Discovering Our Roots.” The staff wanted to incorporate the tree and roots graphic theme with a spiritual application showing that the school is rooted in Biblical principles. Red Lion teaches that as a Christian school, everything should be viewed with a Christian world view. Sophomore Ashley Paintsil took the job of writing the division page copy that carried out the theme of the book. In this age of computers, students learned to design layouts using Adobe InDesign CS3. This desktop publishing program is the same program used on newspapers and magazines. Of course, photography is the biggest part of a yearbook. Students learned how to take digital photos and use Adobe Photoshop to make minor color corrections.

Shannon Solimeo, you did a great job learning InDesign and coming up with layouts for the Student Life and Sports section. Kami Wilson, thanks for all the great times we had reminiscing about the old days at New Castle. Thanks for working so hard. Tim Steffel, a first-time staffer, you fit right in and were such an asset with your computer skills. You were the one I would go to if I had a Photoshop question. Brooke Haley, my only staff member that I have had on my staff for four years. It’s been so great teaching you all these years and thanks for being my friend. Max Stevens, my go-to guy. You were always willing to do everything I needed. Thanks for your love of photography. It’s been so fun getting to know you and developing a friendship with you.

Cameras: Most of the candid photos were taken with a Canon 20D, others were taken with a Canon Rebel and a Canon Power Shot S2. All sports action shots and any photos without a photo credit were taken by Mr. Aaron Hamrick, the yearbook adviser. Many shots were taken using the new 70-200mm f/2.8 Canon Series L lens.Senior Ads: The senior ads were purchased by parents and family of the seniors. Most parents took advantage of the “early bird” special which cost $150 for a full page and $75 for a half page. The regular cost was $200 for a full page, $100 for a half page and $60 for a quarter page. Many ads were designed by parents, the rest designed by the yearbook staff.

Book cost: The yearbook sold for $65. There was a $5 discount for books ordered early. This was a $5 increase, which was the first increase in four years. The total cost of the book was over $17,000. Tree graphic: The tree graphic found on each division page and on the folio tabs at the bottom of each page was designed by staff members Tim Steffel and Max Stevens using the program called Context Free Art.Thank You: To my yearbook staff: Ashley Paintsil for always coming into the room and with a smile on your face. Thanks for taking charge of writing the division page copy. Nikki McMahan, what a joy it was to have you on staff. You would always try and do everything I asked of you.

If you’re reading this, it means we finally finished the book. Now that we’re all going our own separate ways, to EVERYONE, I pray that you seek God’s will. We only have one chance here, so just do what’s right and just be happy. Brooke, the favorite, thanks for trying to understand me. I know it’s hard. I just want to thank you so much for just making this year a great one and working on this book with me. Tim, one of my best friends, wow, high school is finally over, we made it. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me. Don’t worry, one day they will understand that we were always right. Kami, Nikki, Shannon and Ashley, thank you so much for all your hard work on making one of the best books ever. Mr. Hamrick, I want to thank you so so so much for really teaching me not only math, but also the art of photography and really helping me discover a new passion in my life. I pray that God continues to use you in other’s lives like He used you in my life. Thank you. Peace and Love,Max Stevens

Oh HEY! I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to thank everyone I know…yeah. Yearbook was a ton of fun, and I will never forget all the jokes and late nights we had. I appreciate all the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this book. Mr. Hamrick, all this would not have been possible if it weren’t for you. Thanks for taking so many pictures and keeping us all in line. And, just to let you know, a fun time was had by all! Max! You were the greatest co-editor to work with. It has certainly been an interesting experience. I wouldn’t want to have made this book without you. I guess Tim comes next. You were fun too, Thanks for your many ideas and such. You were very dependable and committed. We had some laughs too. Kami! I love you so much. You had some amazing ideas and are so creative due to your many skills in scrap booking. Nikki, you are so cute and always have a smile on your face. You always brighten everyone’s day. You put forth so much devotion; keep up the hard work. You’ll make a great surgeon someday. Shannon you always brought new ideas to the table and never

gave up when you had a job to do. Thanks for your diligence and great ideas. Ashley, Sweetie! You have a talent for writing, keep it up. Never give up on that dream of fashion design.
