THE LION’S ROAR|THELIONSROAR.COM

To our loyal readers, We have a lot to be grateful for. It’s been four long years of consistent work on this newspaper, but it would all be for nothing if it weren’t for you.

You have picked up our paper in the hallways, carefully read our articles, critiqued our content, commented on our design, questioned our opinions and laughed (or scoffed) at our jokes. You’ve been a receptive and enthusiastic audience, and for that we are thankful.

We have made it our priority this volume to provide content that is relevant to you — not just interesting to us. We have taken issues as they come, addressing race, gender identity, plagiarism and curriculum changes, to name a few. We do our best to be accurate, honest and straightforward, because we know we owe you that much.

Producing this newspaper, issue after issue, has truly been a labor of love.

There have been countless publishing miscommunications, last-minute edits and even a few blizzards to disrupt our newspaper agenda, but somehow we managed to get the paper to your hands in time for first period.

But not a single one of us could have done it alone. On a newspaper staff, every member plays an integral role in the process, including first-time reporters and their fresh ideas, artists and photographers with exceptional talent, and dozens of editors committed to detecting every last error.

We have gotten through the past four years together, and have learned how vital it is to be a part of a solid community. To The Roar’s staff, thank you for teaching us this lifelong lesson and for being our community. From pick-me-up bowling games to snow day movie marathons to highly dangerous treks to Portsmouth, The Roar has been our home within the school, and that is invaluable. While we are sad to be leaving these traditions behind, we are comforted to know that this wonderful community will continue to be a home for many future South students.

Sincerely, Volume 31 Senior Staff Hyunnew Choi Parisa Siddiqui Sasha Kuznetsov Carly Meisel

You know you’re in the

Class of 2015

when...

01 02 You possibly appeared on Fox News protesting rights to Powderpuff 03 You secretly wait for No Trace to post their next video 04 You made plagiarism jokes throughout your entire senior year 05 You’ve lost track of how many senior class officers there are 06 You survived the Semi fire alarm madness 07 MIT rejected your entire class’s applications 08 You have a new appreciation for your teachers wearing bright yellow t-shirts 09 10 You’re still uncomfortable with Eleanor & Park’s palm strokes 11 Your class president campaigned with math 12 Equinox is a safe zone for Assassins 13 You fondly remember Dudley Road parties 14 Every Friday is #faithfriday 15 You still don’t understand what the House Cup is You don’t remember what it was like going to school on Mondays of February 2015

You learned how to turn off Facebook notifications after the class page was created
