Photo Kelly Rowe Seniors Laura and Lucia Vargas take turns signing friend’s yearbooks at the senior signing night May 21. The twins will both attend the University of Texas in Dallas this fall.

Dear seniors,

From our first day at M9 to our final stroll through the Commons, we have made brilliant memories in these red and silver walls. As our last year of high school comes to an end, we look back upon staples of our generation.

Chase Martin NEWS EDITOR Chloe White FEATURE EDITOR Skyler Middleton OPINION EDITOR Kendall Cooper ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Marc Kidwell SPORTS EDITOR Alex Anderson REPORTERS

From Drake’s biggest hits, to the Kermit memes that followed us through these halls, from Shrek to Hairspray, from losing to winning back the Axe. From our first step on the awkward M9 cafeteria stairs to our final step on that graduation stage, we are walking into the next chapter of our lives with Marauder pride not only in our memories, but also in our hearts.

Aidann Zuniga, Morgan Maxwell, Shayla

Good luck to all seniors, and may you continue to create great memories and memes in your bright, bright futures!

Gary Shafferman

Sincerely, Kelly Rowe Editor in Chief

How to write a eulogy

Dear Pops, I’ve never had to write a eulogy before, so I hope I did you justice.

I’ve always been a talented writer, but when it came to celebrating your life, words seemed to escape me.

I tried to imagine how people would react. A man’s daughter standing at a podium, talking about his death. Talking about how much she misses him. I volunteered, but it felt like an obligation.

No one would be able to honor you quite like I could, so I felt that I had to be the last one to speak on your behalf.

You were my best friend for the past 18 years—I felt like I knew you better than others did.

However, when I sat down and tried to pour my soul into something cohesive and meaningful, I recalled the day I didn’t get to say goodbye.

••• During the summer before my senior year, I was miles away from home. I was showing my boyfriend images from my childhood—my mother in her youth and my sister and I attending the first day of school years ago.

Pictures of my dad appeared periodically, and I raved about how much he and my boyfriend would get along. I talked about how, soon, I’d introduce them for the first time.

Then the call came.

A few days prior, my dad had suddenly become seriously ill. We weren’t sure what was wrong, and our doctor couldn’t figure it out. But the outcome didn’t look good for him.

I told my family to only call me if something serious happened, as I selfishly wanted to avoid the reality of my father’s deterioration in the comfort of a different city. I clung to my boyfriend, saying I didn’t want to leave yet, but we

both knew I had to.

I silently drove the 40 minutes home.

Every few minutes I came to a red light, harshly pumping the breaks of my ‘95 Monte Carlo. It was such an old car, so the only entertainment I had were CD’s.

Old songs flowed through the rickety car, but I wasn’t really listening. My mind was elsewhere.

Half way home, a deep pain began to ache in my chest. I started crying, but I still kept my focus on the road as I wanted to get back soon as possible. But my chest felt like it was concaving more and more by the second—somehow I knew that he was gone. My heart had broken before I was certain of the situation.

When I arrived, my mother told me that he woke up, stood, then fell. And then he was gone. He’d passed away.

It didn’t quite set in. Sobs retched out of my throat, but I didn’t really feel it. The ache in my heart was there, but he didn’t feel absent. I still felt like he’d run up to us with a big smile on his face, assuring us that this was just a big misunderstanding.

I never wanted to be at the center of attention for tragedy. I never wanted to be that girl.

The deep wrinkles in his thin cheeks and around his deep green eyes—just like mine—would warm my heart. He would invite me into the safety of his chest. His graying stubble would catch my hair and prick my forehead with a gentle kiss. A small chuckle would bubble between us as he’d dry my tears and usher us back to his apartment.

The little things about his reserved and warm demeanor were fresh and easy to remember, but I realized then I’d never experience them again.

“I know you don’t want to, but let your family love on you,” my mom whispered

Kelly Rowe @kellyrowe_ in my ear as we approached the door of his apartment. My aunts and uncles, as well as a police officer glanced at my sister and I with pitiful expressions as we walked into their hugs. I didn’t want to be touched, but like my mother said, I let them hug me and stroke my face.

The next thing to do was to call everyone. I dreaded speaking about it, especially to friends of mine who’d only met him once, or in my boyfriend’s case, who had never met him. But I dialed numbers anyway. The first person I called was my best friend, Kevin.

“Will you walk me down the aisle someday?” My voice broke over the phone. I was hit with the realization of everything my father was going to miss.

He would miss my upcoming graduation. My awards to be won. My growth as a young woman. He would miss my future and everything in it. I would miss out on a future with the dad I didn’t get a true chance to be close to.

I would become the girl whose dad died. I’d always pitied classmates of mine who lost their parents, and everyone made a spectacle of them. I never wanted to be at the center of attention for tragedy. I never wanted to be that girl.

These are all points I began to scribble down as I tried to form a rough draft for you, Pops. After a few minutes of writing, anger washed over me. I wouldn’t receive the life I was originally dealt, and that filled me with distraught, screaming rage.

I lay defeated on my couch. Angry tears soaked into my dad’s old t-shirt that I’d begun to wear. My anger redirected at myself after mulling over my outburst.

I questioned why I had always been so quick to tears. I didn’t like that about myself, but I wasn’t sure how to change.

Tears were natural for me.

My dad never seemed to have time for my tears, though. His way of comforting me was a gentle hug, sometimes just a pat on the back, and common phrases like “it’ll work out” or “it’s not worth getting upset over.”

At the time, I hated that. It seemed as though he didn’t care. But as I grew older, I realized he was just giving me a dose of reality to calm me. (continued on pg. 17)

How to write a eulogy Once he passed away, this technique came in handy for all my little outbursts, so I began writing a new eulogy.

Presenting it, I held myself together quite well. I wasn’t crying as much as I predicted. However, if there would ever be a time in which my dad would let me sob on his shoulder, I’m sure it would’ve

been then.

I talked about the biggest lesson he taught me through his odd way of comfort. Whatever happens, everything will be okay, even when things seem hopeless.

••• I know if you were here, Pops, you’d be so incredibly proud of me. With all the obstacles I’ve faced this year,

What they don’t tell you

Bright orange summer sunlight shone through the windshield of my friend’s silver Tacoma pickup. We cruised through Double Oak at a sweet 35 miles per hour, not too fast because the town’s police always seemed to be lurking around every turn, every tree.

On the car’s stereo system we blasted rapper Russ’ song “Yung God.” I nodded my head to the infectious beat, my friends trying to sing along with the chorus.

They’d been my best friends since the beginning of that sophomore year— Aidan Davis, Ryan Head, Will Klingman.

I’d known each of them for a different amount of time. Will since second grade, Aidan since sixth, and I got to know Ryan the beginning of freshman year.

But sophomore year is when we all came together as best friends.

Over the summer we’d spend late nights at Lifetime Fitness, sometimes early mornings in the beach volleyball pit, too. We went on a mission trip in south Dallas, sleeping on the tiled floor of a local church. We even traveled to mountainous New Mexico—a week in the cool summer alpine air.

Since then we’ve ragged on each other for playing Pokemon Go and been there for each other’s baptisms. We’ve engaged in countless fantasy football debates and spent late nights enthralled with the board game Risk. We even camped in

between major depressive episodes and contemplation of dropping out of school, you’d be so proud that I made it through.

Finishing my senior year with way less tears shed than predicted feels right by you, Pops.

Thank you for being my best friend and holding me even when I didn’t really need to be held.

You were right. I will be okay.

Jackson Bednarczyk @jgbednarczyk

the middle of freezing January and over the course of three years have played who knows how many spontaneous games of two-hand-touch football.

Not one of us is like the others, and we each offer something different to the group. Aidan with his hilarious slapstick humor, Ryan with his “of course he was the one to do that” personality, Will with his witty and dry retorts and me, who likes to watch the show unfold and occasionally offer comments.

Life is about the small things that shape you and mold you, like each granule of dirt stacked by ants to build their mound.

But after three years of being best friends and four years of high school, it’s time for us to head our separate ways as we march off to different colleges. Of course we’ll still be friends and visit each other and probably even hang out over breaks, but we’re going to meet new people, find new opportunities and discover what we want to do for the rest of our lives.

And I’m realizing all this now.

During my brief 18 years of life, I’ve found that adults and cultural influencers are always telling us what they remember about their childhood, what they miss.

They try to tell us what we’ll miss as well, so we can make the most of our time before adulthood.

They tell you you’ll miss Friday night

lights and the band and the cheerleaders and homecoming and prom.

They tell you you’ll miss your parents paying for everything and actually having money in your bank account, and how little you’re responsible for when you’re a teenager.

They tell you you’ll miss how easy high school is compared to college and how counselors, teachers and assistant principals know you by name. They remind you how teachers actually care about your success. And of course I’ll miss all these things and more.

But what they never tell you you’ll miss is driving down Kings Road through Double Oak with your friends, cracking jokes and playing songs way too loud.

They never tell you you’ll miss 7 a.m. beach volleyball games, getting sand stuck between your toes and all the loose spaces in your hair.

And they certainly never tell you you’ll miss sleeping on half-inflated air mattresses or trying to stay warm inside a tent on a frigid January night.

My whole life, I’ve tried to grow up so quick, to prepare for my career, to save money for the future, to make plans for 20 years down the line. And those things aren’t inherently bad, but I’ve neglected the little things that make childhood so magical.

Sure, you can’t be a kid forever. But we’re too focused on being stable and mature and future-oriented that we forget our roots. We remember the big moments, and we plan for the big moments, but life isn’t about big moments.

Life is about the small things that shape you and mold you, like each granule of dirt stacked by ants to build their mound.

Don’t forget to be a kid while you can.

It’s not as lame as you might think.
