Being a Demon means many different things.

Every student at Golden High School is special and contributes something unique to our mountain community. We are not just another group to pass through these doors - there is a lot more to us. We all have depth and dimesion. Some of us are athletes. Some are artists. Some are academics. Some are activists. And some of us are all four_ Together we are Golden Demons.

Not only does the student body utilize its versatility to make our school a better place through Student Council MVP,andSRO - butwealsomakeour community a better place, with Yearbook, the Sociology classes, Sports community f undraisers, and NHS (to name just a few).

Looking back on the year, savor all of the memories, and what it felt like to be a Demon. Revel in your triumphs and your failures. But most importantly, always remember how proud we are of what we have accomplished_

"The Diary of Anne Frank"was the fi rstshowwedid th is year. It opened with a bang. Everyone who ca me to see our show in formed us how wel I t he actors all pot rayed these real peoples· stories. Th 1sshow isa great reminder of how t ragicand violent our species can be. I nt he middle of a 11 of this war and gen 1ocide,Anne Frank wrote. "I nspiteof everything I st i11 believe people are really good at heart"which is the true moral of our play Anne was a remarkable young gi rL Sheu nderstood concepts t hat were beyond her time.and age. She loved when there was no hope. Shealsocould wr1teat about a Senior level now-a-days. Junior Jamie Nagode did an outstandi ngjobshowi ng the emotional ro l ler coaster this young teenage girl experienced Every member oft he cast grew with t hisexperience. There were ti mes where 1t all seemed too real and we needed to take a break. and therewasnotadryeye in the crowd when Junior Max Anderson gave his clos1ngmonologueabout what happened to a l l the family members and how not one of the "annex family" su rvivedexcept Otto Frank. The director.Scott Hasbrouck. highly stressed profesiona !ism and politeness in high-stress environments. Each memberd1d ton sand tons of research abou t the Holocaust and their charac ter's Ii fe. I think the shocking t hing everyone found was that the Fra nk'sand Van Dann·s were always right behind their saviors. Thecampwould be liberated thedayafter t hey moved toa new camp. The Frank daughters were thrown into a mass grave the day the camp was liberated Thiswasoneof the most mature and professional casts.and their ha rd work was demonstrated through t hear t portrayed on stage.

The varsity team worked very hard this season doing their best in a long time. They earned many wins byputting upa tough fight for every teamand they were rewarded with a ticket to districts. The varsity players were a major impact on the lower levels.and were looked up toas role-models. Captains Angela Noonan Ana Osorio. and Erin Kelley lead their team tosevera l victories and kept their team i n-1 i ne. Junior Erin Ke! leyexpressed.

Tedious practices and teamwork has left a lasting impression on our opponents and , of course , our school!
