“AP Euro has been the biggest stress of my sophomore year so far. It is my first AP, the quizzes are hard and the readings are long.” _Nicole DiVittorio [10]

THE COLLEGE PROCESS can be long and hectic for seniors. Daniel Jayson [12] got a head start and managed to hand in his last golden application to Mrs. Cronin by early September. “I did most of my apps during the summer; now I get to relax and wait for decisions while my friends stress out,” said Jayson.

SAT TESTS CHARACTERIZE junior year for most students. Sarah Han [11] attemped to prepare for the lengthy tests in the school’s library with friend Zenat Rashidzada [11]. “The SATs are coming so quickly, and I feel so unprepared,” said Han.

“Failing my road test twice is such a burden, I hate having to constantly ask my friends for rides.” _Karishma Kapur [12]

A ROUGH START FOR FRESHMEN Due to Hurricane Irene, freshman orientation was pushed to the first day of school.

_Jacqueline Fong [9]

“I liked having orientation on the first day, it was reassuring to learn all the new rules within the first two periods of high school.”

_Elise Baer [9]

“Having Orientation on the first day of school didn’t really help me find my way around. It really just told me the rules of the school.” Matthew Lombardi [12] is one of the few seniors who comes in for first period. Here, he has his Dunkin’ Donuts to help jump start the early morning.

_Evan Nierman [9]

“I thought it was kind of pointless. I didn’t really learn anything new because it was a fast orientation. I did not find it useful.”

eptember 6th, 2011 7:19 A.M. Hills West students began their school year with excitement and stress. For the majority of students, the October SAT was a major stressor. “I am so stressed for the SATs in a month. I haven’t touched a SAT book all summer,” said senior Shannon Mason. What brought most of the senior class together in September was the stress over standardized tests that determined their entrance or rejection to college. “Senior year is supposed to be filled with fun and leisure activities, but neither of these can be enjoyed until college applications and SATs are finished,” said senior Sanaa Siddiqui.

1. RESEARCH COMPETITIONS require a lot of time and diligent work. Maha Chaudhry [12] reached for perfection and added some finishing touches to her work in the research room. “On top of 5 APs, college apps and activities, I wonder why I voluntarily chose to write a 20 page paper for Siemens,” said Chaudhry. 2. HAVING A CREATIVE TALENT isn’t all fun and games. Jessica Gallagher [11] worked hard on her homework assignment in class. “I often do my AP Art 2-D homework from the time I get home at 2:30 until 11 p.m.,” described Gallagher.

coming accustomed to the high school atmosphere. And if that wasn’t enough, Freshman Friday was eating away in the back of their minds. Freshman Natalie Arshravan said, “The work load tripled within a week and left me confused about where to start.” The juniors and sophomores were overwhelmed with PSATs and brainstorming their plans for the future. Sophomores and freshmen were introduced to their first AP classes, a choice of AP European History, AP Art History, AP Human Geography or AP Environment. September 26th September also welcomed juniors with a new perspective of their futures. Many of them have to discover what they excel in and determine a career path for themselves. Fortunately, once the ball is rolling and October is on its way, many students can start tackling their stressors one by one. Martine McKinney [12]

edication, Strength, Love, and Community are the words that best sum up the results of the tragedy that struck on September 11th, 2001. When the second week of school came, so did the 10th Anniversary of this day. The importance of love and community were stressed in our social studies classes, and as a community we all recognized the positive impact that came along with the tragic event that will forever be remembered. In front of our school sits a memorial, “Remember the Innocent,” and on this day, the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, our school did just that.

MR. BRIAN DONNELLY “The United Federation of Teachers and the United States Congress honored me for my actions on September 11th 2001.”

“September 11th was my inspiration to help people and to really make the world a better place.”

RAISING AWARENESS is the ultimate goal of the annual Breast Cancer Awareness game. Players Gina Augusta [11] and Christie LoMonaco [11] showed their spirit with their jerseys. “It was a great cause, and I loved the fact that we were supporting awareness and having fun at the same time,” said Augusta.

“We had an amazing team this year because we all became a family.” _Paige Brandsdorfer [12]

long with practice, the girls of the field hockey team made it their mission to bond on and off the field in order to win. “We had a ton of pasta parties before our games. More than we’ve ever had in the years I’ve played on the team. It really has helped our team bonding,” said senior Lauren Kiedaisch. August 31st, 2011 At the first official practice after preseason, it was agreed that in order for a team to be successful it also has to learn to laugh. Having fun off the field is essential for a team’s success. Aside from playing the game on the field, team captain and senior Melissa Gaglione had the girls playing games such as Animal Farm and Taboo. Melissa thought these games would be great for making the team stronger, “as a way for everyone to embarrass themselves so that

they would feel comfortable with each other.” But while these girls became like sisters, it was still important to stay focused on the goal of the season: winning. September 14th “This ain’t no picnic!” Melissa Gaglione motivated the team before its first game against rival Walt Whitman, and could often be heard repeating similarly inspiring pieces of advice throughout the season. “It is important to have fun, but it’s more important to play together and keep your eyes on the prize,” said senior Amanda Balling. October 26th Looking back on the season, Melissa described the sport with seriousness and extreme pride. “It was a game, but games are a big deal. We didn’t always win, but we always put up a strong fight.” Kelsey Ng [12]

Players speak of the newly formed bonds on the team.

]

_Melissa Gaglione [12] “This season started with a fresh beginning. We had a new head coach, new players, the seniors from last year left, and even the chemistry between the players changed. The way everyone meshed so perfectly and how no drama existed made being a captain such a great feeling. I am so happy I was part of this family.”

_Lauren Kiedaisch [12]

CHEMISTRY [

NEWLYFORMED

PLAYERS LOVE THE RUSH of adrenaline that field hockey brings. Lea Brandsdorfer [10] made a long shot. “I play field hockey for the thrill. It lets me forget all of the day’s worries,” said Lea Brandsdorfer.

INTENSITY OF THE GAME is what these players crave. Jennifer Jung [11] fights to keep possession during her breakaway. “I love the rush and the speed at which the game is played. It’s fast-paced, and the intensity and aggression is exciting,” said Jung.

“The team this year was closer than any team I’ve ever been a part of. We had so much fun in and out of practice. We made tshirts and wore them on game days, and had at least ten pasta parties! Every year the team promises to hang out after the season ends, but for once, I am actually confident we will.”

HAVING FUN was a must this season, and the seniors definitely made sure to instill this in their younger teammates. Melissa Gaglione [12], Lauren Kiedaisch [12], Paige Brandsdorfer [12], and Amanda Balling [12] posed Charlie’s Angels style. “To be completely honest, I will miss everything about the sport, but most of all, I will miss my teammates,” said Paige Brandsdorfer.

PASTA AND T-SHIRTS provide the team with a perfect bonding experience. Christie LoMonaco provided her house for the pasta party before the Walt Whitman game. The girls decorated their shirts in the LoMonaco garage before feasting on pasta made by the parents. They wore their shirts the day of the game against their rival, Walt Whitman.

“Golf takes so much patience. It comes with long hours in the cold, practicing for what you really want.” _Travis Ng [10]

LOOKING FORWARD is necessary for good sportsmanship. Constantine Diakakis [11] never got upset when he lost a game. “This season was hard, but our team gave it our all,” said Diakakis.

nly one word summarizes the fall season: tough. August 31st, 2011 Because of the budget cuts this year, the junior varsity team was dropped. The major down side to this cut? Underclassmen on the team had little to no experience, making it a difficult transition from junior varsity to varsity. For some, this giant leap was too much for them to handle. “Unfortunately, the boys did not perform their best this season,” said Coach Bartolotta. September 23rd Each player had one goal for every game played, and that goal was to play well. “I came prepared with the right mentality,” said junior Joe Marino. This was the driving factor for every game they played; however, they didn’t pull through every time. “We always tried our best to win, and when we lost we always tried our best to bounce back,” said senior Harrison Greenfield. A consistent theme for the boys during the season was to stay focused.

]

Players speak about their favorite sport.

_Dylan Steinzor [12] “I enjoy golf because it helps me relax. The team this season worked well together. We had fun and grew together and supported each other as a team. I wish them the best for next season.”

_Jared Silberlust [11] “Golf is just so great because it gives me an opportunity to go out and participate in a fun, demanding sport, and it gives me a chance to enjoy outplaying my good friend Joe Marino.”

September 24rd Each member of the team was motivated, which created an atmosphere of dedication between the players and the coach. “The team’s focus was based on individuality,” said sophomore Travis Ng. Junior Jared Silberlust emphasized the importance of teamwork between the boys. “Each one of us had personalities that made him an ideal player for the team. The players understood the importance of trying their personal hardest while working together,” said Silberlust October 14th A good season does not necessarily mean having a high number of wins; it means that something important was learned. “We learned this year that even though we can have some bad shots here and there, it’s never worth giving up,” said junior Constantine Diakakis. Next year most of the team will be made up of upperclassmen, who will close the gap that separated junior varsity and varsity, and positively impact the future of Hills West golf. Samantha Wieder [12]

_Joseph Marino [11] “No matter what my first pretty, I resolve never to I’m in it 100%, not only cially for that of the team.

ball looks like, which is not always quit and always give it my best. for my personal game, but espeI don’t want to let my team down.”

_Harrison Greenfield [12]

DEFINING HIMSELF WITH HIS SWING helps to identify David on a team full of competitors. David Golinowski [11] showed his commitment to the game through hours of practice. “I’m the only one on the team with this type of swing, so it shows how I am different from the rest of the players,” said Golinowski. “What is going through my head from the start of my swing to the finish is... nothing. I have my mind clear, so I can just focus on hitting the ball.”

“Through the good years and the bad, I’ve always loved my teammates. There’s nothing I’m going to miss more than the friends I’ve made the last three years.”

BEING PREPARED IS VITAL when an individual is playing volleyball. The ball can end up “in your hands” at any moment. Jessica Kleet [11] demonstrated alertness as she tipped the ball over the net. “I always need to be on my toes because I get a ton of sets, so I’m given a lot of opportunities to put the ball down against the other team,” said Kleet.

“I love volleyball because I like the competitiveness and the constant action that comes along with it.” _Jessica Kleet [11]

MAKING IT COUNT is key to winning. Kathryn Greenough [11] was the key player on her team when she nailed an important serve against Islip. “I liked the fast pace of that game,” said Greenough.

November 3rd Their high level of commitment inevitably led the players all the way to the playoffs. Though they lost early in the playoffs to Newfield, the team put up a strong fight. The girls worked extremely hard, turning their loss into a learning experience. “It was heartbreaking because we worked hard all throughout the season, but I was proud of us for making it this far,” said senior Daniella Plasterer. Their season is the perfect example of a team effort, one that is made up of people contributing all of their best efforts for a common goal. Gregory Georges [11]

THE POWER OF FLIGHT is displayed by Denzel Williams [12] as he prepares to spike the ball at the Sachem North defense. Inspiration via competition was a big part of the Thundercolts’ success. “Every time I play Sachem North all that’s going through my head is to beat them by as much as possible. They were so cocky; that made me and my teammates play even better,” said Williams.

RESPECT FOR THE GAME drives the players to show sportsmanship regardless if the match ends in a win or loss. Ross Belloff [12] showed respect for his opponents after a Thundercolt win, which he realized can be difficult for the losing team. “Shaking hands at the end of a game can get emotional, but in the end sportsmanship is more important than winning,” said Belloff.

Players thought about their coaches’ engagement.

PRE-GAME PUMP-UP

How do you get in the zone before a tournament? _Dylan Mouzakes [12]

TEAMWORK PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE during a volleyball game. Brett Rickles [11] demonstrated communication and perfect setting for his teammate “Teamwork is the most important part of the game. You need to have teamwork to get the pass and then the kill,” said Rickles.

_Daniella Plasterer [12] “I’ve known both of the coaches for years, and since freshman year, I saw their relationship grow and eventually bloom. When they announced their engagement half way through this season, we were so happy. We felt like a complete family.”

“To prepare for a game, we mainly listen to music. We form a huddle where one player is chosen to throw the ball down and scream ‘HILLS’ repeatedly. We then come in and put our hands together.”

_Peter Griffenkranz [11] “Preparing for games is always a blast. We often take our daily rides to get something to eat and come back to the school blasting Barbie out the window. After all of this fun, we get in the zone and think about what we have to do as we listen to our music.”

_Kristina Spinelli [11] “When our team heard about the engagement, we were all so excited! They are both great people and we’re so happy for them!”

MAKING GREAT PASSES is crucial for success on the volleyball court. Kristina Spinelli [11] prepared to bump the ball for a teammate. “It felt great when I made a perfect pass because I knew my team would put the ball down and score on that point,” said Spinelli.

eptember 26th, 2011 “One game we played against West Babylon was on MSG Varsity, which was a cool experience because there were cameras all over the gym, and we were constantly being interviewed,” said Kathryn Greenough. Although the Hills team had defeated West Babylon before, they kept their heads in the game and fought through as if they were playing any other team. “We never had an opportunity like this to play for MSG. Even though we played and won against the team before, we took the game very seriously and each of us played to the best of our ability,” said junior Jessica Kleet. The girls ended up shutting out West Babylon for their television debut.

SCHOOL SPIRIT is the most common feeling in the air at pep rally. Montana Mauro [12] cheered on her senior class with friends Christopher Lange [12], Marisa Rosen [12], Shannon Beller [12], Sonya Polyakov [12], Jessica Isaacs [12], Ashley Nostramo [12] and Elizabeth Merkouris [12]. “I loved the crazy school spirit everyone brought; these times are unforgettable,” said Mauro.

riday, October 14th 2:15 P.M. Seniors line the floor of the hallways surrounding the gym. Covered in paint, they anxiously scurry around fixing the last details of their banners. “Towards the end, we ran out of brushes so we had to run up to the art rooms and beg the teachers for supplies,” shared senior Khadeeja Ibrahim. “While we were there, we borrowed exacto-knives to cut out the banners.” 3:00 P.M. Hours before Pep Rally, seniors ran through the same hallways trying to raise the last few dollars to get final decorations. “This was easily one of the most stressful days of senior year,” said Adam Kindler. “We ran back to Party City one last time and grabbed streamers and balloons with the last few dollars.” 5:00 P.M. Nerves were high throughout the entire day, but everyone let out a sigh of ultimate relief as the seniors finished their decorations. There is no arguing that the seniors have amazing talent, with decorations that surpassed the underclassmen.

8:00 P.M. Juniors were high with passion and drive, especially when they beat the seniors in the ever famous tug-of-war battle. As TediMarie Marotti said, they were pretty “clutch.” 8:30 P.M. There was one heck of a wheelbarrow race that was quite a close call between the juniors and seniors. The win was taken by the seniors. 9:00 P.M. The events of the evening went on smoothly until the infamous musical chairs! There seemed to be a discrepancy with the win. A total of three “re-dos” were done, until finally the seniors took the win. 10:00 P.M. “Preparations were stylized beautifully and the entire night was exciting and extremely memorable,” shared Brett Verini [12]. Senior Jasmine Hennep explained, “it’s sad knowing it’s our last year doing this, but that gave us the drive to make this the best pep rally we’ve seen yet.” Gregory Georges [11]

Jonah Glickstein, Salvatore Lovaglio, Tyler Grimaldi, Joseph Piccolo, Danny Osiashvili, Daniel Deutsch, Tyler Flett 1. ONE OF A KIND is one term to describe pep rally. Hasan Hashmi [10] cheered on the Class of 2014 with friends Erik Mikelinich [10], Arthur Bosua [10] and Jason Rahimzadeh [10]. “Pep rally set us apart from other schools because we came together,” said Hashmi. 2. PEP RALLY is a chance for football players to let go before the big homecoming game. Obaid Farooque [12] enjoyed the pep rally fun with fellow teammates Randall Davis [11], Deven Williams [12], Devante McFarlane [12]. “I got motivated because everyone was so crazy,” said Farooque. 1

FRESHMEN ENJOY THEMSELVES while painting their first Homecoming banner. Stephen Imburgia [9], Keva Ealey [9] and Kiara Jackson [9] took time out of their busy days to help with the Epcot-themed banner hanging above their section of bleachers. “Especially as a freshman, this experience was new and great,“ said Jackson.

HELP IS NECESSARY, and everyone’s contribution is crucial during Homecoming preparations. Renee Russo [10] helped paint the sophomore banner with friend Alexandra Regan [10]. “The theme had a lot of potential—we grew up with it,” said Russo.

The Junior shirt was largely regarded as second only to the winning senior design. “Our shirts looked so good, only second to the seniors,” said Georges. October 9th As they gathered to decorate, freshman Keva Ealey took the intimidation of the senior class and turned it to inspiration, which made her first Homecoming experience unforgettable. Keva and her friend Kiara Jackson helped prepare the banners and decorations, but faced some tough competition from the upperclassman. October 10th “For the third year in a row we went to Frank Cormio’s house,” said junior Matthew Nicholls. Like the juniors, many of the other underclassmen spent days and nights at each other’s houses trying to make their grade shine. Each grade worked hard to win the best float, best dance and the best class spirit. “Of course, the seniors won, they do every year,” said junior Heather Minton. October 14th 2:30 P.M. In the end, it seemed that the experience was more important than winning for underclassmen. “I can’t wait to do it again” said sophomore Shannon Drury, “and I’m sure the other grades would agree”.

EXPERIENCE

eptember 29th 2011 6:45 A.M. Homecoming “break out” occurs at the break of dawn every year. This year the sun rose on a beautiful early fall morning as class officers completed the finishing touches to their costumes. Some officers, like freshman Sabrina Kim, were participating for the first time. “I was a little nervous and felt awkward...but the older officers helped me. It was actually fun,” said Kim. Disney theme music also helped to greet the sleepy crowds of students as they stepped off of their buses. “When I got off the bus I was really surprised to see everyone outside dressed up. It also got me really excited for the day,” said freshman Darci Morello. October 5th Sophomore Madison Boriskin took advantage of her sophomore year and got more involved than in previous years. “Last year we did not know what we were doing.” The Sophomore class showed off what they had learned and the improvement was evident from their eventual performance. October 6th At a Junior Class meeting, Brittany Stuart and Gregory Georges took a more active role by helping their class brainstorm ideas for the t-shirt and skit. “It was so hectic trying

HOMECOMING NOMINATIONS are a huge honor for all involved. Nana Egyir Croffie [12] and Taylor Vereen [12] braved the windy Homecoming morning when they stood on the track. “Being nominated made me realize I must not be as ugly as a I thought,“ said Croffie.

he excitement begins in early October when seniors start thinking about Homecoming Court. According to Mrs. O’Grady, the dedicated teacher who counts and recounts all the votes, “almost every girl votes for herself!” For Clara Chang, being one of the ten nominated girls came much to her surprise. “I was caught off guard when I saw my name on the list. Making it was a great start to senior year, hopefully, it will foreshadow more joyous events.” October 14th, 2011 8:30 P.M. As the hype of the competitive Pep Rally events dwindled down, the anticipation in the gym for the Homecoming Court skits was high. Each couple was expected to perform skits for their fellow classmates, and the addition of comedy was essential to win the roars of the crowd. John Guido and Amanda Abrams definitely delivered when they dressed as each other. “Amanda and I are both on crew,

and the week leading up to Homecoming was so hectic with practice. We thought of our skit twenty minutes before the performance, but I think that’s what made it so funny,” said Guido. 10:15 A.M. Before the parade began at Signal Hill Elementary School, everyone in the Court lined up with the cars to take plenty of pictures. “Taking pictures made me feel really special at first, but then the parents went overboard and I just wanted them to stop,” said Taylor Vereen with a smile. 5:00 P.M. After the football game came to a victorious close, the Court took the field for the long awaited announcement of the King and Queen. Martine McKinney recalled, “I was definitely nervous when we were all lined up waiting to hear. I was mad when I was called for first-runner up, because I wanted to win! But it’s still all good.” Khadeeja Ibrahim [12] & Casey Merber [12]

CHOOSING HOMECOMING PARTNERS is key to having a good time. Melissa Gaglione [12] and Brendan Forte [12] immediately connected and playfully embraced the parade experience. “Brendan was the greatest partner, he even found the perfect tie to match my dress,” said Gaglione.

BECOMING HOMECOMING QUEEN AND KING is every senior’s dream for Homecoming festivities. Carli Rumstein [12] and Bradley Kaczmarek [12] took in the amazing moment after they found out they won king and queen. “It is an incredible memory which I will treasure for the rest of my life,” said Rumstein.

Seniors recount their first or last Homecoming at West

PERSPECTIVES _Jacqlyn Looney [12]

“It was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had! The sounds, the sights, the spirit; a mini-festival in the fresh Autumn air. Everyone was so nice, it was easy to feel like I belonged. I’ve never felt more at home when away from it!”

“It was probably the most amazing experience of my life, and I wish I could live it again and again. My favorite part was the Pep Rally; it’s always the best experience. And even though I was sad it was my last Homecoming, I just wanted to live it.”

_Matthew Ranftle [12]

_Jasmine Zaman [12] “I always seemed to miss Homecoming every year. I was so excited to have woken up on time and been able to go to the parade this year and walk next to the decorations I worked so hard on! The game, the atmosphere, and everything made for a great senior memory!”

“Homecoming this year was great, as always! But this year was better than any other year because our grade was so spirited. Setting up the gym was the best part and so much fun! It was great seeing all of our hard work come together after many days of tiring efforts.”

DISNEY HAS A WAY of uniting people. Mackenzie Schneider [12] celebrated her last Homecoming as she hung out with Alexa Cerniglia [12], Julianna Schneider [12], Karishma Kapur [12], Brett Verini [12], Danielle Schwartz [12], and Nicky Blando [12] as Mickey. “I loved Homecoming this year because the whole senior class really did come together to make it the best ever. The Disney theme was great because we could do so much with it and be creative,” said Schneider.

ctober 9th, 2011 A perfect Homecoming doesn’t come together without huge amounts of time and labor. Seniors took time out of their busy weekends and spent the entire day working towards building a Homecoming float to trump all others. “All the stress and long hours pomping until 10:30 at night finally came together for the Homecoming weekend. It made our last Homecoming that much more special,” said Carly Rosen. October 14th The gym was filled with a sense of festive determination and friendly competition, as seniors worked on banners and decorations. “There was a unique vibe because we knew this was the end, but that made us work harder to create something amazing for the last time,” said Jasmine Hennep. October 15th 11:30 A.M. The students of Hills West were a sight to see as they paraded from Signal Hill to Wolf Hill Road, showing off their banners and floats. The Senior Class in particular was radiant, proudly showing off the results their hard work. Daniel Harris, who has played in the marching band every year, reminisced, “It was always fun to march in the parade and

1. HOMECOMING CAN BOOST the spirit of a class. Jennifer Young [12] displayed her love for the class when she signed the Magic Kingdom gym decorations. “During Homecoming, I felt like I was part of a big family, not just a student,” said Young. 2. PREPARING FOR PEP RALLY requires a lot of work, but in the end, it’s all worth it. Khadeeja Ibrahim [12] enthusiastically worked on her last Pep Rally after her busy day. “The senior class is definitely on point with its spirit and its enthusiasm. Everyone can see it in our work,” said Ibrahim. 3. HOMECOMING DANCES are a class standard, and are always entertaining to watch. Marianna Allevato [12] and Ariana LaConte [12] spent a long time perfecting the senior dance. “As captain of dance line, it was really rewarding and fun to teach my classmates how to move,” said Allevato.

1 SMILES ARE EVERYWHERE at West’s Homecoming festivities. Victoria Yu [12] and Gabrielle Schatz [12] had the responsibility of supporting the senior banner during the parade. “My favorite part of the day was marching in the parade, which was so exciting. It turned out to be a great weekend and I will definitely miss it,” said Yu.

perform for the entire community.” 1:00 P.M. The senior skit consisted of a comical satire of our high school, incorporating elements of the class Homecoming theme: Magic Kingdom. Kimberly Dyckman, who played the role of Cinderella, enjoyed the class’ commentary on other grades. “We made fun of the underclassmen stereotypes such as juniors asking parents for rides to parties,” laughed Dyckman. 5:00 P.M. Seniors swelled with pride as they were named the winners of Homecoming 2011. “I am so proud to be part of this class, and I know that we will be close for life. That was a great start to what will be an amazing senior year!” said Brendan Forte. Homecoming is one of those events that define the high school experience. Here, Homecoming captures the unique essence of community and fellowship not often found in the “average” school. And although students love planning and executing Homecoming each and every year, for the senior class, this Homecoming was a bittersweet experience. As senior class president Brendan Forte put it, “It was something to look forward to every year, but this one was special.” Kelsey Ng [12] & Mina Piao [12]

“Clearly, it was the best shirt. Featuring the names of every senior to form Mickey’s face had a deeper meaning than the design: we are individuals, but together, we form one amazing class. It took many hours to make, but seeing everyone wear it made it worth it.”

“Helping out with gym decorations this year was great. Though it was very stressful and time consuming it was all worth it. To be able to see the final outcome with the balloons and huge wall coverings was spectacular, especially since I was doing it for the last time.”

“The float is a ton of work, but it’s amazing how much a group of kids can do in a few days. We had Mickey and Minnie dancing in the castle, with music and bubbles too! I love Homecoming because our whole school unites; there’s nothing like it!”

“The theme this year allowed for so many possibilities. With all the unique characters and fun colors in Disney, designing a banner was more fun than work. And the class did such a good job painting it! I’m really proud of our work.”

“The huge Homecoming win helped us get back on track after a three-game losing streak.” _Jagger Rebozo [11]

ome students know nothing about it, others enjoy watching it, and then there are those who eat, sleep, and breathe it: football. October 14th, 2011 8:15 P.M. At Pep Rally, the gym was filled with an intense surge of passion and drive as the football team huddled together, getting pumped for their game against Hauppauge the next day. Senior captain Devante McFarlane stated, “As a senior, I had that sense of urgency that this was my last year for high school football. I had more responsibility with everyone looking at me for advice. There is a lot of pressure as a senior to be a role model.” October 15th 2:00 P.M. The athletes took their positions on the field. Filled with suspense and vigor, the players started out for a hopeful victory. “We knew if we worked hard, it would pay off,” shared senior Douglas Motley. “We worked hard practicing, giving it our heart and soul. It was finally time to

show everyone why we deserved the win.” Halftime With victory only a short distance away, the team’s energy was through the roof. “During halftime I told the team to keep up the energy and show everyone why Hills West Football should not be taken lightly,” said junior Randall Davis. 5:00 P.M. The school crowd roared as the clock stopped. “Coming off three tough losses, we knew we had to win that one, and we got it done,” said junior Christopher Reyes. “Everyone was into it, from the players and spectators to the coaches. Having the entire school cheering in the stands made a huge difference. It was a great win that I will never forget.” Again and again, the football team has irrefutably proven themselves as a force not to be reckoned with. The fight, the love, and the drive of the team summed up the meaning of teamwork. “Football is more than just a sport; it was a growing experience into brotherhood and manhood,” said junior Aaron Gordon. Khadeeja Ibrahim [12]

AWARENESS

For the Homecoming game, all the football players wore pink breast cancer ribbons on their helmets. The idea started in the NFL, worked its way down to the collegiate level, and then to high schools. Teams across the nation decided to participate by placing the pink stickers on their helmets, and the Hills West team wanted to be a part of that. They debuted the ribbons at the Homecoming game to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.

[ ]

BLOCKING THE OPPOSITION from scoring is necessary for a team to be successful. Hasahn Benitez [12] pushed his hardest on defense to make a play. “I remember the coach telling the team to fly down the field and make a play on kickoff, and that’s exactly what we did,” said Benitez.

1. RUNNING THROUGH BANNERS is always a spirited moment at the Homecoming game. Deven Williams [12] along with the rest of the team, started off the Homecoming game motivated by the cheerleaders and their breakaway banner. “I was feeling very emotional and happy running out on the field knowing it was my last home game on the turf,” said Williams. 2. BREAKING TACKLES is the key to scoring. Devante McFarlane [12] helped the team win with great plays, despite the obstacles that came from the Hauppauge defense. “I was about to score and then got tackled right before the goal line. But I scored on the next play!” said McFarlane.

ugust 29th, 2011 Practice begins, and so does junior Kevin Ma’s favorite memories. “The first practice was great because I got to see the team together for the first time in a year.” One senior captain, Zachary Fortgang, saw his role as building team unity and confidence. Fortgang shared his favorite memory of, “Max Berger [12] getting chased by a dog at practice and earning the nickname ‘mailman’.” Their traditions were important to them, including the SuperFinn stretch. October 18th 4:00 P.M. The Sunken Meadow meet against West Babylon was the last one for the season, and it was a tough one that required going the extra mile for both the boys and girls. Motivating and encouraging your teammates is part of the Hills West tradition, and seniors were willing to go the extra mile to inspire the younger teammates all season long. A key part to this motivation included, “huddling before races where Anthony DeMatteo [12] and I gave pump up speeches,” said Matthew Ranftle. 4:45 P.M. Similarly, the girls ran just as hard, but the two teams couldn’t be more different. Girls cross country is made up of both Hills West and Hills East runners. Unlike the boys, who have the same coaches for both cross country and track, the girls team had a chance to work with a different coach, Coach Braun. Junior Kerri Graber emphasized the

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING is different from any other type of running. Andrea Ramsay [10] found the large distances between other runners to be most unique. “It’s different, there may be only one or two people around me while I run. The runners are more spread out,” said Ramsay.

“The feeling you get when all those restless hours of hard work are paid off in that split second you cross the finish line is sublime.” _Max Berger [11]

importance of having seniors on the team. “We don’t really declare captains, if anything we consider all the seniors captains.” “As a senior, I think it’s important to always maintain a connection with the underclassmen because it’s our job to keep the team united and on the same page,” said Karishma Kapur. 6:00 P.M. Kapur truly enjoyed her last season with the team. “My favorite memories were just hanging out by the bluffs after races and reflecting on how I ran.” November 4th The State Qualifying Meet at Sunken Meadow park was a final chance to extend the season. Although he didn’t qualify, senior Anthony DeMatteo competed for a chance to run in states. Junior Jill Faber also ran at state qualifiers but didn’t qualify. However, Faber did place fifth at the Tom Knipfing Memorial Invitational. “We spent so many hours running and training together over the summer. This season was a rebuilding year, and we ended up doing a lot better than we had expected,” said Faber. The girls cross country finished up their season with a record of 32; the boys 1-4. “It wasn’t like track where everyone ran different races or distances. In cross country, we all ran the same race, so I felt a stronger sense of bonding,” said Matthew Ranftle. Sarah Han and Staff [11]

KEEPING CALM AND CARRYING ON always helps win the race. Matthew Ranftle [12] kept his inner peace during an important meet. “Cross Country is different from any other sport because before every race, I expect maximum pain but I have to resist it and move on,” said Ranftle.

RUNNING WITHOUT COMPANY can be mentally challenging. However, Jill Faber [11] stayed focused and determined when she ran. “Although running is a difficult sport both mentally and physically, our friends on the team make all the miles and workouts bearable,” said Faber.

Players speak of their favorite shoes and why.

SOULFUL SHOES _Jill Faber [11] “My running shoes mean everything to me, and they would be one thing I would never want to lose; I care for them so much. Last year, someone took one of my running shoes by accident and I nearly had a meltdown!”

RUNNING WITH RIVALS helps to inspire the boys to give it their all. In this race against rival Deer Park, Max Berger [11] stayed with his runner in order to help his team win the meet. “I was supposed to stay with a kid who runs around the same pace as me. My coach told me to stay with him until Cardiac Hill. I followed the plan, and placed ahead of him to help us win the race,” said Berger.

_Andrea Ramsy [10] “My shoes mean so much to me. I wear them everywhere, including school. My shoes, the Nike Frees, are my favorite. I don’t need wings to fly; I just need my Nike Frees!”

THOUGH RACES CAN SEEM ENDLESS, runners always manage to get to the finish line. Anthony DeMatteo [12] self-motivated to finish the race, especially while at the head of the pack where there wasn’t anyone left to inspire him. “Sometimes you feel like you want to give up, but you always have to tell yourself to run a little bit harder,” said DeMatteo.

CHAMPIONS KEEP PLAYING until they get it right. Danielle Cerniello [12] has nearly perfected the sport through many years of hard work and dedication. “After playing for so many years, kicking a ball is now as automatic as writing my name,” said Cerniello.

CHOOSING A SIDE is difficult for a midfielder. Stephanie Ramirez [12] defended against Riverhead by constantly breaking up their passing. “As a midfielder, I have to play both defense and offense,” said Ramirez.

SMART PASSING is important for the forward position. Ana Alhoud [11] recovered a pass in order to pass it to another forward closer to the Riverhead goal. “I have to think quickly of how to make the right passes to get the goal,” said Alhoud.

_Elizabeth Pabisch [11]

“Standards were set that would carry out through the whole season. Our coach also just wanted us to try our best.”

“We all were bummed out about arriving to Pep Rally late. We all bonded while getting ready together in the locker room. Getting ready in the locker room, it brought us closer.”

What were your goals at the beginning of the season?

“Returning from a season like last year’s, when we made the playoffs for the first time in history, our goal this year was to finish what we started and get further! Although we could not get to where we wanted, it was a learning experience and an amazing time with our seniors.”

_Morgan Hughes [12] “Our goal for the season was to defend the title as League Champs that we won last year, unfortunately we did not accomplish that goal, but we gave our all in every game which means the most. Overall the season was full of amazing memories and new friendships that will last longer than any title.”

knew they would win. They kept their eyes focused on the goals and their teammates around them. 9:30 P.M. With every kick of the ball came an increased adrenaline rush, and after two hours of battling hard, the girls proved successful in what would be their last victory of the autumn season. The girls gave 100 percent to the game they love, and came out with a close score of 1-0. “The feeling after winning such an exciting game gave each one of us a strong feeling of pride. We ended the season with a great win,” junior Eleni Lazarides said, Many of the girls accredited the win to the changes that occurred at the start of the season—the addition of a new leader and mentor, Coach Strack. “This season the girls have taught me to never give up and focus on the positive,” said Coach Strack. They say that with every step taken forward, two steps are taken back. This may be true for the girls with a 4-8 record this season, especially after the experience they had at that last winning game. They proved that it was their season, it was their time.

ctober 21st, 2011 On this crisp night, the West Babylon High School soccer field swirled with enthusiasm. Our boys soccer team had just experienced a well deserved win. With nerves high, hearts racing, and blood pumping, the girls soccer team was in high hopes of victory against the same school. 7:00 P.M. The girls jumped onto the bus and spent their anxious ride to West Babylon, psyching themselves for an anticipated win. “On the bus ride to the game, everyone was so pumped, excited, and loud. It got everybody mentally prepared for the game,” said senior Morgan Hughes. The night was all about Hills West soccer. As the boys gloated a recent victory, the girls got ready for theirs. “The boys team was playing before us. They had beaten West Babylon, the team we were getting ready to play, and we wanted to follow the trend,” shared senior Danielle Cerniello. 7:30 P.M. The girls transformed their anxiety into active energy as they ran onto the field. They cleared their minds of schoolwork, college applications, and thoughts of celebrating the game they

CLEARING the ball is the most important job of the sweeper. Christina Magel [12] beat the Riverhead defense in order to clear the ball to her forwards. “I have to be careful to keep my head in the game at all times,” said Magel.

Memorable MOMENTS...

“Working as a team this year was the difference between winning and losing.” _ Anna Inserra [11]

LEAVING A FAMILY is how the seniors feel at the end of their soccer careers. Marissa Schatz [12], along with the rest of the seniors, had a great season but felt heartbroken leaving the Hills West team. “Soccer was a great experience for my senior year. We are all one big family and I made friends for life,” said Schatz.

“It was sad to be on the field for the last time. All the memories from my high school soccer career will never be forgotten.”

1. LAST MINUTE COSTUMES don’t require too much creativity. Jonathan Sammis [10] and Daniel Chinitz [10] flaunted their friendship by coordinating matching outfits. “It is always fun to look like a fool, and this year it didn’t take more than a flannel shirt,” said Sammis.

[KEEPING UP WITH TRADITION]

CHEERLEADING SKIRTS aren’t only for girls. Emile Blackman [12], Jagger Rebozo [11], and JaQuese Jones [12] showed their Halloween spirit while they participated in gym. “It was funny to be walking around in hoops and a skirt all day,” said Blackman.

2. HALLOWEEN COSTUMES are best when funny and slightly offensive. Laura Kessler [11] made a point to satirize the ridiculous shows on Mtv. “The show 16 and Pregnant is ridiculous, but an easy costume to inspire the student body,” said Kessler.

_Amanda Zwerin [11]

“The Halloween costumes made by Danceline are always a ton of fun. The more creative we are, the more entertaining it is for the new girls and the rest of the students at school. As the older girls on the team, we try our best to think of costumes that will gain the attention of the entire school. This Danceline tradition is a privilege to the older members, and we look forward to it every year.”

3. THE SENIOR CLASS came together to have a zombie Halloween. Carlixto Sanchez [12] posed with Marianna Allevato [12], Gabriella Ferro [12] and Brendan Forte [12] and demonstrated the contrasting costumes between boys and girls. “I wore a scary mask to spook people out with other seniors,” said Sanchez. 4. MEMORABLE MOVIE CHARACTERS make for funny Halloween costumes. Dylan Gleit [12] walked around the school amusing people with his The Hangover inspired costume. ”It was a preview for no-shave November, and a chance to bring Baby Carlos to school for a day, which he really enjoyed,” said Gleit.

ctober 31st, 2011 6:00 A.M. The seniors worked diligently in the their halls to make them look as haunted as possible. “I love how the senior class came together to fit a theme, even though the theme was simple, it showed the love and spirit the senior class has,” said Adam Kindler. Meanwhile, seniors downstairs prepared the lobby, decorating it to look like a haunted house named Haunted Hills. Our friends in the guidance department had their own haunted theme, and decorated it for the win between the offices! Counselors and secretaries dressed up as mad scientists and got ready to blow everyone away with their creepy décor. 7:00 A.M. The underclassmen walked into a dimly lit senior hallway and witnessed an area with creepy decorations guiding them down to their classes. “I loved the crazy outfits that everyone wore, and it was fun to see everyone out of their element,” said sophomore Amanda Gentil. 7:30 A.M.

Hallways were flooded with a frenzy of students and staff, all dressed up in bizarre costumes. As you walked down the halls, you could see familiar faces dressed in an array of costumes from Disney Princesses to Lady Gaga. No matter what corner of the school you were in, you surely spotted seniors dressed up as zombies with plastic axes in their hands and blood dripping down their faces. 2:00 P.M. The most nerve racking time of the day for some Halloween lovers was when winners of the best costume were announced. Senior Kimberly Dyckman won for her fantastic costume as the long adored Lucy Ricardo of I Love Lucy. No surprise, Guidance took the award home for best faculty dress up and décor. From the students to the faculty, everyone shared their Halloween spirit. Khadeeja Ibrahim [12]

Senior Morgan Hughes excitedly began her night of shopping before the feasts of Thanksgiving had come to an end. “I was the first one on line at J.Crew and ended up buying gifts for family and friends,” she shared. 11:45 P.M. Seniors Adam Kindler and Shannon Beller were among the masses of people who arrived at Tanger at the Arches. They were caught up in the excitement as they flooded the stores. They also ran into senior Amanda Balling who was cruising around Christmas Tree Shops. “Christmas Tree Shops had 25% off everything. I bought a mug for my mom which was an extra 10% off. I also got a shirt from Pacsun for $4.50. Then we all went to Nike, and I bought a track suit that was 80% off and ended up paying only $12.50 for it!” Balling shared. November 25th 12:00 A.M.

lets at the Arches. Freshman Sofia Tsiatalas shared her experience saying, “It was almost like I was waiting on a line at Six Flags. However, the wait was definitely worth it because I walked out with a ton of clothes and killer discounts.” Freshman Angela Sciara enjoyed free entertainment while waiting on the very long lines at Target to make her purchase. “There were people fighting over X-box Kinect, and it gave me something to watch while standing on line surrounded by annoyingly eager shoppers,” said Sciara. 3:00 A.M. Freshman Jordan Stummer left the Tanger Outlets in Riverhead after long hours of window shopping. Unfortunately for Jordan, the traffic and long lines were not worth it. “I went to my favorite stores like Nike and True Religion, but was automatically turned off by the intense rush. Maybe Black Friday isn’t for all of us,” Jordan sighed. 4:00 A.M. Senior Jonathan Lee by-

passed traffic and reached Roosevelt Field Mall within twenty minutes with a car full of restless shoppers: junior Tiffany Tripodi, sophomore Stephanie Tripodi and freshman Robin Goldbaum. “Personally, I thought the sales were terrible and weren’t worth my time. However, I still bought two shirts,” said Jonathan Lee. “We also met up with some friends, seniors Gabriella Ferro, Carlixto Sanchez and Marianna Allevato, who seemed to enjoy it more than we did. Overall, Black Friday shopping was not worth it for me.” The unanimous trend on Black Friday was getting up early and going shopping with family and friends. From the late night seekers to the early risers, students took full advantage of all sales. Whether they were watching fights, window shopping, or getting great deals, students were eager to participate in the frenzy and fun of Black Friday. Khadeeja Ibrahim [12]

WHEN A PLAYER JOINS A TEAM, he establishes lasting relationships with his teammates. Brett Nason [11] celebrated a 3-0 victory against Huntington with his team. “The team is always extremely happy after a win and we always have a good time after our games,” said Nason.

SKILLFUL KICKS are crucial to mastering unique situations in soccer. Andrew McAlpine [12] was able to successfully drive the ball away from West’s goal through his side kick. “In order to play my best during each game, I have to practice all different types of kicks so that I’m an all around strong player,” said McAlpine.

“This was my first year on the varsity team and I am so honored. I wouldn’t change one thing about the team, because it’s perfect.” _Lucas Udell [11]

ills West Boys Soccer was a team that had very high expectations. Senior captain Donovan Fraser, an early graduate and University of Maryland soccer team prospect, led the team to a stellar season before he left Hills West. Though the team had a bright future, it had a bit of a rough start. However, like true star players, they worked toward their main goal: victory. The team won sixteen out of seventeen games. October 24th, 2011 4:00 P.M. After a series of blowout wins against Deer Park and West Babylon, the Colts faced the strong Huntington team. Fortunately, the Colts were not challenged. They shutout Huntington 3-0, further extending their record to thirteen wins, no losses, and one tie (13-0-1). “We were excited about this win. We went in knowing we would excel, and we proved to everyone just how great we were,” expressed sophomore Arthur Bosua. November 1st High off their winning streak, the boys were pitted against Smithtown. Coincidentally, Smithtwon was coached

1. STEALING THE BALL plays a crucial role in winning a soccer game. Jamie Calabretta [12] stood guard on Huntington’s star player, defending West’s goal in what would be a 3-0 shutout. “My motto is to get the ball at all costs, even if I have to dive for it” said Calabretta. 2. A CROWD’S SUPPORT is certainly important in motivating a player to keep possession of the ball. Christopher Lange [12] put all of his power into a goal scoring kick in a match against Huntington. “It definitely helps to hear the crowd’s cheers when I have possession of the ball. With that support, we took our second win of the season against Huntington,” said Lange. 3. GOALIES HAVE TO take full control in breakaway situations when defense is not present to help protect the goal. Joseph Sagsveen [12] made a great save against a Huntington opponent in a near goal that would have ruined the shutout. “I took the ball right to my face in that breakaway save, but it was worth it to shut out Huntington,” said Sagsveen.

by Coach Gannon’s brother. In a game that revealed undertones of sibling rivalry, Hills West rose to the top. The Colts took advantage of their opponent and utilized all the strengths they had over Smithtown. Senior Donovan Fraser said, “Playing Gannon’s brother was a lot of fun; there was a lot of rivalry on the field, and we totally crushed them.” November 4th Despite the best efforts of the boys, all good things came to an end as their winning streak was broken in their game against West Islip during the playoffs. “Making it to playoffs wasn’t a surprise because it had become a tradition. We didn’t play the first round because we had a bye, or a free pass, and unfortunately, we lost the next game against West Islip,” informed senior Nana Croffie. It was on this fateful afternoon that they had to accept a tough 1-0 defeat. However, the Colts took the defeat with a grain of salt. “It was sad being knocked out so early and having the potential to go so far,” Nana continued. Despite their loss, the boys played an amazing season and grew as a family of brothers. Greg Georges and Jesse Scheinman [11]

Despite the gloomy, rainy day, the team was confident and satisfied with its second win against Commack. Towards the end of the season, the girls began to prepare for counties. They practiced everyday, drinking special energy drinks and consistently practicing techniques with private coaches. Coach Langendorfer was very driven and strove to help the girls showcase their talent. “Even though she was tough, she always meant the best for us because she knew our full potential. She kept us very focused during practices,” shared junior Zenat Rashidzada. Although competition among teammates grew for a place in states, senior Malini Desai said that during practices, “the team did more drills than competitive matches to enforce unity rather than competitiveness within the group.” October 28th At counties, each match

2. MANY TENNIS PLAYERS rely on their forehand serves to win their matches. This season, Zenat Rashidzada [11] powerfully hit the tennis ball and used her forehand as her weapon. “I use my forehand to work a point and make an attacking shot. It’s an all around shot because its offensive or defensive. Sometimes, it’s even both,” said Rashidzada. 1. UNIFORM AND CONSISTENT serves are necessary to master the game of tennis. Sarah Han [11] managed to rally the ball over the net after a near ace. “Whenever I play a match, I always try to stay consistent on my first serve. Also, when I get to choose whether I serve first or second, I always choose second because it allows me to assess the other player. If the player is inconsistent, she will double fault a lot and lose,” said Han.

“States was a great bonding Zenat, Sarah, and me. It was a time experience and I’m so glad far. I played my best and had a

opportunity for once in a lifeI made it that wonderful time.”

“It was a great experience going to States again. I did pretty well and played the best I could have. Even though I lost, I gave the game my all. I’m looking forward to next year and hopefully will get further and win the entire tournament!”

Adidas Slippers “I keep Adidas slippers with me because my feet usually hurt after matches.”

Multiple Racquets “I like to have a few racquets with me just in case one breaks. I always have a backup.” Sunscreen “When you play tennis outside, you get sunburnt because you’re constantly under the sun. I like to use sunscreen so I don’t get hurt.”

STANCE AND POSITION are instrumental in hitting the perfect shot. Lauren Salzano [10], who always played singles, had to always think ahead to return the ball and win a point. “When I play tennis, I make sure I have good posture because it’s an important part of beating my opponent,” said Salzanzo.

the girls played became increasingly difficult as the day progressed; however, they were up for the challenge and played their hardest against Northport. Junior co-captain Sarah Han shared, “We were definitely disappointed when we lost because we were County Champs last year. After the match, we stayed on the court and had a team huddle. The seniors were upset, but there was no doubt that we played our best.” In addition, the girls fought their hardest to qualify for States. Prior to competing at States, the girls had to place in the top three spots at counties. Malini Desai, Sarah Han, and Zenat Rashidzada proudly made their way to States. November 5th The competition had only just begun when the girls arrived at States. Sarah Han partnered with Malini Desai in the doubles tournament. They gave it their all, but unfortunately didn’t qualify for the next round. Zenat Rashidzada, who played in the singles tournament, had a very easy win for her first match, but that was not the case for the second match. Rashidzada and her opponent played a very competitive second match, but a call was made in her opponent’s favor, ending Zenat’s second year at States. The girls played their hearts out as seen with their frequent success. The talent of the girls made the team exceptional, but their sentiment, respect, and love for one another is what made the team a family. Azo Mbanefo [11]

4. TENNIS PLAYERS ALWAYS keep their eyes on the ball. Hailey Ozsvath [11] practiced and played hard this season and even received an All-League title. “In order to be a great player, a tennis player always has to think about what’s happening on the court and trace the path of that bright yellow ball,” said Ozsvath.

3. PLAYING ON A TEAM can lead to lifelong friendships. Hannah Finger [12] made friends with her teammates Malini Desai [12] and Carli Rumstein [12] during her years on the tennis team. “Being on the tennis team was an amazing experience; I will really miss all of the girls on the team next year,” said Finger.

ovember 12th, 2011 3:00 P.M. After attending extra help and club meetings, the girls of the swimming and diving team arrived at the Hills West natatorium. 3:15 P.M. For about 15 minutes, they hustled and bustled in the locker room, changing into their swim gear. 3:30 P.M. Senior captain Carly Rosen explained, “whoever finishes first usually puts the lane lines in. We do individual stretches before getting into the pool, and, when we have more time on the weekends, we do team stretches.” Immediately after warming up, the swimmers hopped into the pool, while the divers, who “must stretch more and do floor drills,” got onto the board fifteen minutes later. The girls get their heads into the intense practice in order to be ready for an even more intense meet. 4:00 P.M. Nerves are high as the meet is only minutes away; nevertheless, this is not just any ordinary

“When swimming in a race, nothing else matters. I take one stroke at a time and focus on my main goal: to do the best I possibly can.” _Joanna Gavras [9]

meet. It is a meet against every high school team in Suffolk County, otherwise known as the Suffolk County Championship Meet. As the team ferociously practiced for this meet, there was one school the girls prepared themselves for: Ward Melville. “It was the craziest meet of the season. There was definitely a lot more cheering and screaming because everyone wanted to beat Ward Melville so badly,” said junior Kayleigh Toth. 6:00 P.M. “This craziness lasted for about two hours, and then the winners were announced,” said sophomore Shannon Drury. “While Ward Melville came in first place at Championships, we were almost there, claiming our spot in second place.” “This year Hills took second place overall, our highest finish in many years,” exclaimed Coach Wiedsersum. “I was very proud of the girls. Second place was very unexpected and well earned!” Samantha Wieder [12]

DIVERS ARE FORCED TO overcome their fears of a particular dive’s difficulty. Carly Rosen [12] pulled off a back reverse dive, a trick that even the most skilled divers find challenging. “The dive is really challenging because it’s so close to the diving board and it involves a flip. But, I worked really hard at it, and now it’s my favorite dive,” said Rosen.

ALTHOUGH PHYSICALLY DEMANDING, gymnastics is also very rewarding. Jordyn Alper [10] worked hard to strengthen her balance beam skills for the great feeling of mounting the beam. “Being on the beam makes me feel like I can do anything. I stay focused and keep my eyes on the prize,” said Alper.

TAKING ONE’S MARKS at practices and competitions contributes to the competitive environment. Rachel Smith [11] had a pounding heart and really felt the pressure before each meet, especially while taking her mark. “It’s really nerve racking before I jump into the water; unlike other sports, it’s an individual performance and the pressure’s only on me,” said Smith.

Senior Day Slap: Seniors get “paddled” by their teammates at the annual Senior Day.

“Our season was filled with ups and downs but overall we proved ourselves at Counties by coming in second place and missing first by less than a point.” _Erika Sanders [12]

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER at practices and competitions contributes to the enjoyable environment of gymnastics. Courtney Grimaldi [10] loved being part of the gymnastics team and being around her teammates Erika Sanders [12], Jordyn Alper [10], and Bianca Fields [10]. “I love the sport and the support; the closeness of my team makes it more enjoyable to be there,” said Grimaldi.

eptember 21st, 2011 The girls gymnastics team performed in its first meet against Harborfields and Lindenhurst, claiming the first of what would be a season filled with wins. Coached by Terri Kindelmann and Kim Brigati, the team was comprised of dedicated members from both High School East and West. With a total of seven seniors, only one from West, the team showed dramatic improvement over the past year. The 2011 season ended with a second place win at Counties. Sophomore Courtney Grimaldi shared the anticipation she had going into the season. “At the beginning of the season, none of us were really sure how we were going to do, considering we had just gotten a new head coach. This was the second time in the past four years that we fell short of winning the County Championships by less

than a point,” she explained. Another major aspect of the season was the team’s traditions. The team was big on special traditions and held them in high regard when it came to bonding. “We made two goals at the start of every meet,” Erika shared, “and if we reached the goals we got a ‘puzzle piece,’ which made up a map of Long Island. We also did PBs, Personal Bests. If you got a score that was higher than you’re current highest, you received a necklace with a medal pendant.” October 31st The girls won their final meet against Kings Park. “Overall, the team performed amazingly; we all worked together and served as motivation for one another. We had some defeats, some tears, and some disappointments, but all of those things just strengthened us in the long run,” Sanders summed up. Sarah Han [11]

“As a senior this year the tables were turned, and I was the one being slapped with the paddle boards. It hurt a lot! It made me realize how much I am going to miss the team.”

“Setting goals in gymnastics is like setting goals in school, only ten times harder. You always want to beat your high scores and you always have to live up to expectations. And, if you beat your high score or your friends’ scores, it’s the best feeling ever.”

“Before every meet, we form goals for the team of what we want to accomplish. For example, we set specific goals like promising to score over a nine or to only have two falls per event.”

ACTING REQUIRES taking on new and different roles. Jacob Lefkowitz [12] successfully took on his dramatic role of the director with Diana Knieste [12], Brianna Robinson [10] and Ryan Mooney [12]. “I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t be good enough for my first non-musical, but that evaporated within the first two weeks of table reads,” said Lefkowitz.

ecember 2nd, 2012 6:30 P.M. The audience eagerly awaited the newest Theatre West Drama, Noises off. In the audience sat junior Esprit Parker, who would always walk by the rehearsals after her track practice, but never went to a production. “This was my first school production, and I was so excited to finally view the show. I was eager to see the final product.” The comedy, about a failing performance company struggling to make it through a poorly written show, overwhelmed the actors unfamiliar with such an intricate format. This production was a play within a play, displaying the performance from the front and back of the set—where each cast member had at least two parts to learn. Senior Ryan Mooney, who played three characters, explained, “I had to spend time studying each character and embodying them to the best of my abilities. It’s hard enough getting into one character, let alone three.” 7:00 P.M. As the curtains opened and the show commenced, new issues arose.

AN ACTOR’S JOB is to portray dynamic characters to the audience.

He’s the kind of guy who needs attention but doesn’t know what do with it when he gets it. I love acting because sometimes I get to make fun of the type of people I really dislike, like Gary,” said Rudin.

I had to literally take a screw driver and release the nail.” Like Greg, sophomore Brianna Robinson encountered an obstacle in the form of a nosebleed while on the stage. “I was so surprised that my nose was bleeding, but despite that I stayed in character,” said Brianna Robinson. If that wasn’t intense enough, junior and Stage Manager Amanda Koenig, who has an extreme fear of blood, had to grab Brianna’s bloody napkins and dispose of them. 9:15 P.M. When the curtains closed, senior actress Diana Knieste expressed a sense of pride in the turnout. “I was very proud of my cast and crew members, with all our hard work we created a wonderful show!” In agreement with Diana, the audience’s applause showed how great the show turned out. Ironically, the Theater West Production had its own drama that took place behind the scenes that also mirrored the show. Although it was an entertaining drama on the stage, it was just as entertaining backstage in the show we could not see. This year’s comedy proved to be a play within a play within a play.

“The holidays are a great way to spend time with family. We all have fun joking around while having our famous three hour Christmas dinner.” _Gregory Plumitallo [12]

4. Feliz Navidad _Jose Feliciano

Afterwards, we sat around the table drinking coffee and espressos trying to warm up in the cold, winter season.” December 25th 7:00 P.M. When it comes to the Christmas dinner menu, many different entrées are brought out to the table. The Efthymiou table was a tad unorthodox; rather than having ham as the main meat, the centerpiece of the Christmas dinner table was lamb. Surrounding the lamb were the side dishes—a variety of steamy vegetables. “While some people look forward to their huge holiday dinner,” expressed junior Savas Efthymiou, “I usually get upset. Because of my Greek heritage, all I eat on Christmas are green vegetables. I don’t look forward to dinner, thank Jesus for the presents!” Decemeber 28th 4:30 P.M. According to sophomore Tirik Starling, who celebrated Kwanzaa with his family, “Kwanzaa is slightly different from Chanukah and Christmas solely around the fact that gifts must be hand-crafted. It’s also a cultural holiday, but I still enjoy it!” Our cultures distinguish us. Holidays bring us together. Family defines who we are. Samuel Willinger [11] and Khadeeja Ibrahim [12]

Have you seen “The Big Bang Theory?” So think of me as Leonard....and before you judge too harshly, have you seen Penny? Welcome to my Nerd land.”

STAR TREK. “To me, fishing isn’t a hobby; it’s a way of life. My dad and I started fishing together after my parents got divorced; it was how we bonded. I got a fishing job in high school, it was great to get paid $300 a week to do something I loved. It eventually became my full-time job at one point. Six years ago, I became a captain by earning my 100 ton Masters license, which is a federal title. I now run the Celtic Quest, which is one of the best head boats on Long Island. When I announce my name on the loudspeaker and pull the boat out of the slip, I think of the people below who count on me. I look at the young kids excited to catch their first fish, and I love the chance to instill my great passion for the water.”

“I was fortunate that my parents and teachers encouraged me to pursue all of my interests in the arts. When I decided to focus all of my attention on the visual arts for my career, I always knew that I wouldn’t want to completely give up playing the viola. I have continued to play in my spare time with the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra. We play a series of concerts each summer in parks throughout Long Island.”

“I plan to go to college to study architecture. I am told that being an architect is not a job, but a calling. It takes commitment, dedication and creativity, as well as technical knowledge. Although I enjoy drawing structures, my passion is building balsa wood models to scale. I find creating small replicas of buildings to be rewarding. I look forward to becoming a successful architect whose contribution will be remembered for years to come.”

_Alexandra Puleo [12] “My favorite style of art, and my own personal style, is photorealism. I love to look at traditional drawings and paintings that can actually trick the eye. I will be pursuing my art in college and will be attending the Maryland Institute College of Art. After recieving my BFA in Drawing, I plan on having a professional art career (hopefully as a freelancer, fingers crossed!). I could have never achieved what I have up to this point if not for my wonderful art teachers, Ms. Ievolo and Mrs. Montiglio. Thank you both.”

“I was assigned to create a sculpture using an old book. My boat project took me two weeks to complete. I would work intricately for 4 hours at a time with tweezers, needles and thread. It was the most time consuming and meticulous sculpture I’ve ever completed. The title, “Lost Between the Lines,” represents how I get lost creating art just as others get lost in a book.”

_Tanya Jain [12]

“As an artist, I am constantly thinking of ways to create pieces that are innovative and a reflection of my identity. As a designer, especially of menswear, I keep the same technique but extract inspiration from the world around us because the greatest muse of all is life itself.”

“Four years ago, I signed up for photography. I thought it would be a fun hobby, and did not really think I’d pursue it much further than that. It didn’t take long for the art department to change my mind. I’ve had the opportunity to take four years of photography, ceramics, AP Art History, and AP Art in the 2D-design and drawing portfolios. Having the chance to try so many different kinds of art has been so fulfilling, and has prepared me so well to pursue art in college as an art education major.”

1. AS CAPTAIN OF BRAINSTORMERS, one has to take the responsibility of moderating West’s major competition. George Margulies [12] took on his captain duties when he helped lead the Hills West Invitational. “It was great taking charge of the Invitational this year. We made New York state history for the tournament, hosting 101 teams,” said Margulies.

TIMER Quiz bowls are very strict regarding time accuracy. Ten seconds to answer regular questions and bonuses, and 15 seconds to answer math questions.

2. THE BRAINSTORMERS TEAM practices every Friday to prepare for competitions. Sandhiya Kannan [11] along with the rest of the team worked very hard and stayed focused while preparing for the series of competitions. “Our practices are always intense, with everyone trying to buzz first in our simulated competitions,” said Kannan.

“Neg 5! It’s neg 5!”

The proverbial thorn in the side of usually affable president George Margulies [12] is when moderators say “minus 5” instead of “neg 5.” Better brush up on your Brainstomer’s terminology!

“Blah, blah, etc...”

To the Brainstormers’ dismay, Arthur Ramsay [10] has a painful habit of overexplaining just about everything. The Brainstormers would like to say, “We love you, but we really don’t care!”

The scorekeeper must keep up with the points added and deducted throughout the tournament, unless they want to be attacked by team captains! Fifteen points for powers, 10 for regular questions, minus 5 for incorrect powers, and 10 points for bonuses.

“You pulled a Dimitrios!”

Dimitrios Mastrogiannis [12] has an unfortunate habit of never buzzing in to answer any questions, leading the team to name the aforementioned offense after Dimitri.

“No, it’s ‘Two Jima!’”

Abigail Ritter [12] made an embarrassing slip when she misread the words “Iwo Jima” as “Two Jima” while moderating a round. Her persistence in defending her pronunciation has lead to this running joke.

anuary 7th, 2012 6:00 A.M. The Hills West Brainstormers arrive at school. This isn’t any special tournament, it’s the NAQT tournament —the 18th one Hills West has hosted. Over 40 High Schools, 100 teams, and 600 students from all over the East Coast attended. Additionally, more than 100 HS West students volunteered at the event, reading questions and keeping score and time. “This was one of the largest tournaments ever held on the East Coast! explained club leaders, Mr. Diver and Mr. Truocchio. 7:00 A.M. It’s time for breakfast, the most important meal of the day. This is one of the only breaks that the team has during the day. They utilize this vital time to their advantage by doing practice questions for the big event. The doughnuts and coffee only

add to their rush. Afterwards, “the team congregates in a central meeting room where brackets and room assignments are received,” said sophomore Arthur Ramsay. 9:00 A.M. The competition begins, and the early rounds, known as “the seeding rounds” take place. These rounds help determine the ranking and brackets for later rounds. 1:00 P.M. It’s time for the playoffs. “There are questions on various topics ranging from geography to geology,” explained senior Abigail Ritter. The energy heated up as the day moved forward. With every correct question came a burst of excitement from both the winning team and its opponents. “The atmosphere was brimming with excitement. The synergy of adrenaline and intellect brought intensity

to the game, witnessed through the speed at which the players buzzed in,” said senior Brainstormer Dimitri Mastrogiannis. 8:00 P.M. Saint Joseph’s A Team defeated Georgetown Day School to be crowned the 2012 Hills West Invitational Champion. At an earlier Yale Tournament, for a second year in a row, our Hills West Brainstormers qualified to go to Nationals. Last year, they attended the History Bowl Nationals in Washington D.C. and this year, they qualified for the NAQT Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. _Samantha Wieder [12]

_Ilana Faibish [12] “I used to play the trumpet, but I was forced to switch to the french horn, and I am so thankful for that. People wonder why someone would be willing to monotonously practice the same thing until nearly impossible perfection, but I love the challenge when I sit down to play. Music is, and always will be, my passion, and nothing is more self-satisfying. I must say, four years well spent in the band room has left me with nothing less than the passion of music in my heart.”

“My best experiences as a musician come from the people I meet. Being able to walk up to somebody at an AllState band conference, or a pit band rehearsal and automatically have something in common with him is a great feeling that connects us as people. Even if you don’t play any particular instrument, you probably already know that the music that interests us connects us together. I would suggest that everybody try to broaden their musical horizons. Hills West in particular is gifted with some of the finest musical instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.”

“I originally chose the sax in fourth grade over a stringed instrument because of my prior experience with strings and the guitar. I wanted something different. As I progressed, I came to realize the versatility that the sax has, and I now play the soprano sax as well. I enjoy hanging out with friends jamming and improvising as well as cracking down at a challenging classical piece. I have lots of fun playing in jazz band where we play more modern, funk, and pop pieces.”

“Being a vocalist is a passion of mine because it’s such a universal language that every culture has a unique take on. There are so many vocal styles out there, the possibilities are endless. I am also a pianist, and singing is so different than a physical instrument. I love making music real; few things are better than the feeling I get after a great rehearsal or performance. Singing is something I love that I will never outgrow.”

“Playing percussion lets me feel at peace. My favorite part about being a musician is that I know when I’m done with school and in the real world, I will be one of the few who can say I love my job. I am definitely going to school for music. I have known I wanted to play music for the rest of my life since an early age. I love to compose music. Music requires a very good work ethic. The good thing is that when you love making music, practice becomes less work and more play.”

“I chose to play clarinet because my mom played it in high school and was happy to help me get started. I love making music because it’s challenging, but still fun and relaxing. Being a musician is enjoyable because I get to meet other musicians and conductors who can help me become a better player. I also took up alto saxophone last year and I just started playing piano. Practicing takes up a lot of time, but it’s a regular part of my day and I don’t consider it to be work.”

“I can’t really remember when music wasn’t a part of my life. It took a while for me to stop simply playing the notes and start playing the music. Music is a universal language, and my favorite part is being able to come together with people from all over and understand each other. I think I enjoy music so much because of the fact that I can show what I’m feeling and thinking without words. I compose my own music, mostly on the piano, and no one is allowed to hear those.”

PLAYING THE GUITAR can captivate the audience. Jessica Gallagher [11] graced the Hills West students with her melodious voice. “Performing in the Variety Show is something I always look forward to.

anuary 6 , 2012 3:00 P.M. About seventy people audition to show off their talents in the annual Hills West Variety Show. All auditions take place in front of a live panel of the entire Hills West SEC. January 20th 6:45 P.M. The line to buy tickets formed, into what looked like a limbo line, out the door. 7:26 P.M. All 25 acts took their final deep breaths and self-rehearsed their performances, creating a crowd of talent backstage. Then the lights dimmed, and the show started with a short video by the S.E.C.. 7:33 P.M. Freshmen acts came on first. Handsome, a band of five boys performed an original song called “The Lick.” The performance got the crowd’s attention, which created a flow of energy within the auditorium. “This proved to be an amazing time to rock out with my band in front th

of the whole school”, said Eric Sabshon. 8:00 P.M. The sophomore class was up next. The most memorable of the performers was Joanna Ramsay, who sang an original song, “My Life.” “It meant a lot to Joanna, seeing everyone support her as she sang a great song,” exclaimed sophomore Andrea Ramsay, Joanna’s sister. 8:28 P.M. The junior class performed thirteen solid acts, outnumbering all other grade levels. Curtis Charleston-Hodge (A.K.A. Crucial) got the crowd going with his clever rhymes, while David Altenord soothed the souls of the audience with his cover of Boyz II Men. “Performing at the show was exciting. Naturally, I was nervous, but as the crowd showed its support, I began to feel more comfortable”, shared David. 9:17 P.M. Last, but certainly not least, the senior class made their grand stage en-

trance. Suedeh Ranjbar, John Quiwa and Abigail Ritter shared their extraordinary vocal and instrumental talents with their peers, and each time the crowd cheered with approval. Suedeh exclaimed, “Having everyone take the time out to listen to a song I truly love was awesome. After I played my last note, hearing the crowd roar was indescribable.” 10:08 P.M. After everyone received a chance to perform, S.E.C. and senior officers got ready to make their debut in festive outfits while dancing to “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO. “The crowd really got into it; we got them to clap and dance along with us!” said senior Emily Gavras. Shuffling throughout the auditorium may have marked the end of an exciting night, but it was only a small piece of what would be remembered as one of the most entertaining Variety Shows in Hills West history. Samantha Wieder [12]

PARTY ROCKING is always a fun addition to any show. The S.E.C. and Senior Class Officers had a blast when they shuffled to Party Rock Anthem. “As always, the S.E.C. and Senior Class skit was amazing. This year, we all learned some cool dance moves while a homemade music video played in the background,” said Matthew Rudin [12], S.E.C. Vice President. Also pictured from back left to front right: Martine McKinney [12], Emily Gavras [12], Roman Tirone [11], Dani Schatz [12], Brendan Forte [12], Taylor Vereen [12], Shannon Drury [10], Frank Cormio [11], Melissa Gaglione [12], and John Quiwa [12].

BEING DIFFERENT involves courage and talent. Kimberly Dyckman [12] confidently sang a classical German piece in front of the audience. “At first, I was nervous because my act wasn’t the most typical Variety Show performance, but the audience was really supportive,” said Dyckman.

SHARING A TALENT with friends is an exhilarating experience. Nicholas Frankel [9] performed a Dance Gavin Dance song with Sean Ragoobir [12], James Rayve [11] and Ethan Kearney [9]. “There is nothing better than playing in front of the people from school who I love,” said Frankel.

Matthew Weiss [11] sang “Not Over You” by Gavin DeGraw. “I had a great time performing, and definitely will again next year. I was also surprised by the diverse talent in our school,” said Weiss.

_Courtney Grimaldi [10] “My friends and I all wore animal hats during practice to keep warm. We each had a different animal; each of them represented a different part of our track family.”

LONG DISTANCE

“Running is not just physically straining, you need to have the right mentality so that you can focus on the finish line!” _Ryan Keogh [10]

RELAY RACES REQUIRE complete teamwork. Shannen Gorman [11] gave every relay her all this season. “When I run relays, there is additional pressure because I’m influencing the time for the other girls who I relay with,” said Gorman.

_Paige Botie [10] “The long distance runners stand the cold the best. Because we are continuously running, we don’t get cold. And sometimes, we wear shorts while everyone else thinks we are going to freeze!”

LEADING A RACE always feels like a great accomplishment. Blake Topper [10] ran in the 100 meter race and lead for the majority of it. “The competition was very strong, but I didn’t think about it. I just focused on keeping my personal pace,” said Topper.

TRACK IS ALL ABOUT IMPROVING one’s time and self perseverance. Evan Siegel [11] ran the cross over meet and achieved his fastest time during Leagues. “It was exhilarating; near the end, I accelerated and ended up finishing with my best time record,” said Siegel.

“I tried not to get nervous because I know I do my best when I stay positive and let my adrenalin kick in. Before states I was ranked 14th and after I ran, I moved up 4 places in the 300 meter race.”

anuary 27th, 2012 5:00 P.M. The boys arrive at their longawaited League Championship Meet. The team gets its running shoes ready to rock their competition. “We faced East Islip, North Babylon, Riverhead, West Babylon, Copiague, Hauppauge, Deer Park, and Bellport,” said senior Nana Croffie. “In track, winter meets aren’t just against one team.” The boys competed in many events and kept their hopes high. However, they didn’t leave with wins as they had hoped to. “They put their hearts out on the track. The atmosphere was really exciting and everyone was pumped up, especially when we went against our biggest rival, North Babylon,” shared sophomore Eliot Parascandolo. Coach Christian focused on the bright side. “Everyone performed above my expectations, and we gave North Babylon all they could handle,” said Coach Christian. January 28th 2:30 P.M. After hearing about the boys’ performance at their meet, the girls were both anxious and doubtful that they’d be successful, but that did not stop them. “A few of us even had the SAT the next morn-

ing and went to the meet anyway,” said junior Jill Faber. Despite their anxiety, the girls cleared their heads and set out to accomplish what the boys couldn’t. “Everyone was so nervous, yet so excited to go. This was one of the more serious meets, and the girls were overwhelmed with mixed feelings,” said senior Jasmine Hennep. Like the Boys League Championship Meet, the girls meet consisted of competitions such as pole vaulting, discus, and several different lengths of running. As the sky began to darken, the girls grew impatient waiting for the results from the day’s events. “Well, the prediction for our place in the league meet was not promising, after assessing the competition against North Babylon. However, we raced really well and came in second”, said excited sophomore Paige Botie. 7:30 P.M. The girls brought home the silver at their League Championship Meet. However, this is not the first time our girls track team has done well. “In the past four years, we have either won the League Championships or placed second,” informed Coach Hender. Samantha Wieder [12]

“The day of the race the atmosphere was intense and serious. I wish my race went a little better, but I ended up placing 10th with a time of 4:30 in the 1600 meter race.”

JUMPERS NEED TO FOCUS on technique when trying to go over the bar in the high jump event. Isabella Dana [10] focused on clearing the bar at its set height. “In order to reach my goal, I needed a good arched back. Also, I envisioned myself clearing the jump, without touching the bar,” said Dana.

RUNNING IS A SPORT during which the athletes always have to keep moving forward regardless of what is going on around them. Jarried Redwood [10] pushed through the pain. “When I run, I always think about the satisfaction that will come with all the hard work, and no matter what, I always push to the finish line,” said Redwood.

Players share their favorite moves and tricks.

_Arianna Sabatino [9] “My teammates call me “Bunny Rabbit” because of my really high jumps. Though I do not enjoy this nickname, I know that my ability to jump benefits my team. With these jumps, I’m able to get rebounds.”

“The thing that I loved most about our team was the wide range of skills among the players. These differences were able to bring us closer together because we always helped each other out.” _Francesca Casalino [10]

ecember 5th, 2011 The first game for the Hills West girls basketball team provided an amazing start to the season. Trampling over the Stony Brook team with an astounding win of 31-17, the girls seemed to have a great season ahead. “Winning this game meant so much because starting off the season with a positive attitude made us feel unstoppable,” said freshman Keva Ealey. However, what was soon to follow was quite the contrary. December 20th Despite their “great beginning” to the season, the girls basketball team fell from glory in the following game. Hauppauge defeated them in the end with a solid lead. Junior Natalie Fong said, “We tried to get along through strenuous situations,” but poor communication throughout the game coupled with some complacency from the previous game led them to their ultimate defeat. January 28th As the season moved forward, the girls were thrown challenge after

challenge. “Communication, the main kink in the proverbial armor, needed improving,” said varisty coach Ms. Dittrich. In the weeks leading up to the MSG Varsity game against Copaigue, the team realized it needed to buckle down and get to work. Freshman Brittany Hodge was anxious in the moments before the game and shared, “It was my first game on television, so it was beyond nerve racking.” The girls worked hard during this game and attempted to dodge yet another loss. Failure was an emotional blow, but performance in the game was improving as the team closed the point gap in the second half of the game. With losses come lessons, and the team took this as a season for learning. Although they struggled to achieve smooth communication on the court, the girls improved as the season progressed. This season was a learning experience, and next year they will come back with an even greater drive to win. _Gregory Georges [11]

GOTGAME?

_Christa Rettinger [12] “The ‘X’ play is one of my favorites. As a point guard, my role in the play is to pass the ball to another player once the other point guard passes it to me. Then I cut through the middle and the play repeats itself.”

FULFILLING ONE’S ROLE in a game is vital for the team to function. Sydney Sodine [11] fulfilled her role as the team’s guard by taking a shot against Hauppauge. “I took as many shots during this game because we were far behind,” said Sodine. HAVING CONTROL OF THE ball is an essential skill for all basketball players. Angelique Chatpar [9] always dribbled the basketball to the hoop with confidence. “The feeling of a ball rolling off my hands gives me a sense of control,” said Chatpar. FOLLOWING THE COACH’S ADVICE is a big part of being on any team. Natalie Fong [11] always listened to the coach and took her advice during halftime huddles. “Our coach would always tell us to try to the last buzzer, even if we were losing,” said Fong.

GETTING TO THE BASKET is challenging when one is crowded out by stifling defense. Brittany Smith [12] always focused when getting ready to drive towards the basket. “As a forward, I always had to avoid the Hauppauge’s defense and charge to the basket,” said Smith.

DRIVING THE BASKETBALL to the hoop is key to the offense. Jenna Marinis [10], the team’s shooting guard, had to take many shots from outside the key. “It’s harder for me to score a point because I have to take shots further away from the basket. I have to cut through all the defense,” said Marinis.

“After attending all 8 home games, and many away games throughout the season, my family and I knew we had to finish off the season by going to Indianapolis for the Superbowl. We visited the Giants in their hotel, attended the NFL Experience, played tailgate toss at Superbowl Village, and heard stories of how people got to the Superbowl. On game day everyone went into the stadium 5 hours before kickoff to take in the whole atmosphere. All of the fans, including myself, were completely decked out in either Giants or Patriots gear. Throughout the whole game the cheering was continuous, the energy was over powering, and the crowd was focused. This game came down to the very last second, everyone was silent while the ball was in the air. The pass was dropped, the football hit the turf, and madness broke out.”

As each of them handed me a single rose spelling out ‘Will you--go to---prom’ I was overwhelmed, in shock, and excited all at the same time.

UNITY FAIR EXPOSES students to many cultural traditions. Sabeen Marghoob [12] expressed her artistic ability when she created henna for many students while representing Zakat Club. “During Unity Fair, I was able to put henna on many different hands to share my Pakistani culture,” said Marghoob.

MAKING POSTERS IS a great way to attract attention. Gabriella DiFatta [11] and Amanda Acampora [11] created a face painting poster for Art Honor Society. “For Unity Fair I worked at the face painting booth, and even though I played a small part, it was nice to see all of the clubs coming together and promoting diversity,” said DiFatta.

“At the Unity Fair, I was thrilled to see such a conglomeration of all different cultures at one event. I saw that we can be one friendly family.” _Sean Noriega [10]

UNITY FAIR IS NO STRANGER to unique attire. Andres Rodriguez [11] and Sarah Dawes [10] went around with the Colt, worn by Lisa Jacoby [10], in order to spread animal awareness for Teen Animal Protectors. “The main purpose of the Colt costume was to catch the attention of others and persuade them to stand up against animal cruelty,” said Rodriguez.

ZAKAT CLUB brings diversity to Unity Fair by dressing up. Trishna Sharma [12], Karishma Kapur [12] and Karishma Sharma [12] wore apparel that demonstrated different Indian fashion trends. “We all wore different outfits to show the similarities and differences of Indian clothes to American clothes,” said K. Sharma.

epresenting nations across the world, students of many backgrounds participated in a day that reflected a strong sense of diversity in our community. The Unity Fair allowed students from the entire district to celebrate their cultures, be introduced to other traditions, and give back to the community. February 12th, 2012 9:00 A.M. The day began with members of various clubs setting up events and activities that would help promote their interests and cultures. One particular group that stood out was H.H.H. Kids Care. This was the first year that this community service group participated at the Fair. The members assisted children in creating key chains along with other crafts. Sophomore Lauren Salzano expressed her feelings, “The best part of the day was putting a smile on the face of the kids; it was absolutely priceless.” 11:00 A.M. The cheerleaders were there to get people excited and performed to lead off the events. They were surprised to see the vast array of cultures present. Varsity cheerleader Micaela Aronica reflected, “When I looked out into the audience and saw the different faces, I felt like we were bringing them all together. We were truly united.” 2:15 P.M. As the day went on, amazing tal-

ents unfolded in the gym. Senior twins Trishna and Karishma Sharma were among the talented individuals who performed. Singing a traditional Indian song taught to them by their grandmother, they got the opportunity to let other people into their culture—exposing them to a significant part of their lives. Senior Danielle Schwartz was one of the individuals who acknowledged the beauty of their song. “I ran up to them and gave them a hug when they finished. I really enjoyed it, and at that moment I felt connected to their Indian culture,” she said. 3:45 P.M. Unity Fair came to a close as individuals left with divine satisfaction for their cultures and that of others. While some people introduced new cultures to their peers, others spent the afternoon reflecting. Sophomore Jazalyn Nunez shared, “What I loved the most was getting in touch with my Latin flavor. The cafeteria was filled with foods from different places around the world, but I loved the Spanish food the most.” Unity Fair was established to bring everyone in our community together in celebration of diversity. The success of Unity Day was a direct reflection of our district’s success, which has always been based on the decision to celebrate our strengths. Martine McKinney [12]

DIVERSITY [in our halls] SCHOOL EVENTS often give students a chance to be creative. Dia Su [10] made flowers out of tissue paper for Spanish Club. “It was a really fun experience making the flowers while interacting with people of different backgrounds and ages,” said Su.

“Many things have changed since I lived on a small island in Greece, called Kassos. In the beginning, it was definitely a culture shock from the school system, the language and even the people here; but the welcoming environment of Hills West made up for it very quickly. Having a different first language, religion and way of seeing things wasn’t as much of a problem as I expected when it came to “fitting in” and making new friends, because bringing something new to the table is what sets you apart and makes everyone interested in what you have to say.”

“I was born in Egypt, but raised in America. I moved here at age six and was always really into my Egyptian culture. I speak my native language, watch Egyptian movies and eat Egyptian food. I usually speak to my parents in Arabic whenever we are at home or outside in public. I like Arabic rather than English because then people around me don’t understand what I’m saying. Some people forget their native culture, but mine is still a part of me.”

“I lived in Turkey until I was five years old. I visit Turkey every summer because all of my relatives still live there. We own a house in the city so I’m never bored. Turkish is my first language, and I speak it fluently. My mom cooks traditional Turkish dishes such as shish kebabs or vegetable dishes with lamb meat. I’m a Turkish Muslim, but nobody ever believes that because I’m white. Also, I enjoy Turkish movies and music more so than American/English stuff. I read Turkish books and write poetry in Turkish as well. Physically, I feel more American because of the way I dress, but mentally I’m more Turkish.”

“I love being Indian. I love the fact that I am able to integrate myself into two different cultures from two completely different parts of the world. In the beginning it was very hard to balance out my Indian and American culture, but with time everything fell into place as I got older. My mom cooks Indian food, and I love it. I speak Punjabi at home; English is my second language. I go to temple every Friday and Sunday, so I consider myself moderately religious.”

“I started writing at a very young age, completely unaware that one day I would be published in a national newspaper. Writing is an escape for me. When I write I don’t have to worry about what’s going on in the real world, because for that time my characters are what’s real to me and what I enjoy the most. My opinion is that the key to writing is a deeper understanding of ourselves. Every time I write I rediscover myself. Recently I attended a cyber revolution in which I spoke about cyber growth. I was also invited to Pakistan’s Counsel on Women’s Day to talk about women’s power.”

Writing

“Writing lyrics is an art. There’s a part of me that feels I have special knowledge about it. So as Shep, I take a pen and pad where ever I go, whether it’s the Boroughs or the Island. I jot notes and then later elaborate on them. Topics of mine are usually the ladies, destruction on the microphone, and how people nowadays are brainwashed when listening to garbage like Lil’ Wayne. I try to use an old school flow out of respect to my favorite lyricists Big Daddy Kane, Run DMC, and Public Enemy. I only wish people nowadays would respect them more because they wrote the truth and reacted as realists to problems in society.”

To that I just say ‘Skating isn’t a sport; it’s a lifestyle.’”

“Just as many people like reading books or watching movies, I enjoy watching anime and Korean dramas. I was first exposed to them this past summer at summer camp, and since then they have taken me on so many emotional journeys, introducing new worlds to me with each new story line. Anime and Korean dramas provide an emotional catharsis and allow me to escape any bad mood that I may be in.”

“When I was three years old, I saw a Gap commercial of a boy doing karate. After seeing this, I knew I wanted to do that too. Years later I met that boy, and we are now on the same karate team. Karate has become a way of life, as I train anywhere from two to four hours a day. I have taken this sport to a very high level, and am recognized as one of the top Jr. competitors in the nation. I really enjoy giving back to little kids who want to learn to do what I do. I have 18 world titles from NASKA, and I have won three gold metals as a member of Team USA in the Martial Arts Olympics in St. Petersburg, Russia. I’m hoping my martial art skills will take me to Hollywood.”

ALL HILLS WEST TEAMS try to beat our rival Deer Park. Emile Blackman [12] caught a very challenging alley-oop pass by Mical Boyd [11]. “Because Deer Park is our rival, I felt like I had to be on my A-game which enabled me to dunk and catch many difficult passes,” said Blackman. FOULS ARE FUNDAMENTAL parts of basketball games. Terry Harris [10] tried to attack the basket and got roughly fouled by a Deer Park player. “During the game, I tried to get the ball with every opportunity, even during rough plays. However, the Deer Park home game was a really tough one,” said Harris.

“Although our team did not go very far, we grew even further as a family. The many different personalities of each of us makes our team unique.” _Marcus Solomon [11]

ur boys basketball team is known for its championship seasons and the amazing stars it produces. This year, the team faced off in two high intensity games against a neighbor, Deer Park. The first game was marred with controversy and was followed by a notorious parking lot scuffle between fans of Hills West and Deer Park. Although they lost, the Colts remained headstrong, keeping it a close game all the way until the end. They ultimately got revenge at their second game against Deer Park three weeks later. January 10th, 2012 The first of the two games saw the Colts and Deer Park in a deadlock. The game came down to the final minute, with Deer Park leading 58-57. With less than ten seconds left, the Colts regained possession and the ball was quickly thrown down-court to sophomore Terry Harris, brother of NBA rookie and 2010 West graduate, Tobias Harris. Terry beat the buzzer and took the shot, and it was called a three-pointer, Hills West tied the game! However, a quick intervention by another referee led to a dispute over whether the shot was a three or two-pointer. It came down to whether Terry’s foot was on the three-point line, the final call making the shot a two-pointer. “The refs didn’t have video replay, so they just reviewed it in their heads,” said junior forward Marcus Solomon. The general consensus was that Terry’s foot was on the line. “He made a great shot, and the referees made the right call. The first ref was confused, but you just want the right

SPEEDING PAST THE players on the opposing team makes any game exciting. Jessean Banks [12] attempted driving to the basket in order to score and give West a lead. “At the Deer Park game especially, my emotions were at an all time high because Deer Park is my former high school. The game was very tense,” said Banks.

_Denzel Williams [12] “There has always been tension between the two teams. They have the mind set of beating us. It’s a bloodbath everytime we play them. Every team wants to beat the best and that’s what Deer Park was trying to do.”

call to be made,” said head coach Mitaritonna. Following the 60-59 loss, a scuffle ensued between fans of Deer Park and Hills West, but no members of the team were involved. The scuffle and the intensity of the game set the stage for a future match-up about three weeks later. February 2nd The next game against Deer Park was one in which the Colts completely dominated. Unfortunately, owing to the previous game’s intensity, some Hills West students were turned away due to an overwhelming spectator response that filled the gym beyond its lawful capacity. Regardless, the intensity in the crowd was sky-high, and the Colts were led by junior guard Mical Boyd, who scored 23 points. The team played a remarkable game, and Coach Mitaritonna pointed out that several players, including Mical Boyd, Marcus Solomon, and Emile Blackman, had their best career games. Rounding out their stellar performance, the Colts scored 26 out of 31 free throws, an impressive number even by NBA standards. Not only did they fill the stat-sheets, but the Colts also displayed honorable sportsmanship. The fight after the earlier game was no longer an issue after the Colts had their victory. “The boys were ready to play, they never got involved with fans, and they were just focused on the game,” praised Coach Mitaritonna. The Colts’ primary focus was on the win, and it was evident that they were very concentrated, winning 68-56. Jesse Scheinman [11]

IN THESPOTLIGHT with Emile Blackman [12]

_Jamir Blackman [11] “When we stepped on the court, we were ready to play. Tension was built because we were seeded number one. One of the most important things to keep in mind in situations like these is to leave everything on the court.”

MAKING GREAT PASSES is imperative in any team sport. Marcus Solomon [11] passed the ball across the court to Terry Harris [10] during the Deer Park game. “In order to be in sync with the game, one must make good passes to other players,” said Solomon. BASKETBALL PLAYERS HAVE TO communicate with their teammates and make sure they are all on the same page. Denzel Williams [12] thought quickly and made a great pass under the stressful conditions of the Deer Park game. “The game’s atmosphere was really encouraging because it was similar to a typical playoff game. Since everyone was so supportive, I made sure that I played my best,” said Williams.

FENCERS MUST PREDICT their opponents’ reactions to all attacks. Raquel Warmoth [12] set up for a step-back following her attack. “I always keep the mentality of faking a long attack and trying to make the opponent miss by stepping back,” said Warmoth.

:30 P.M. If it weren’t for the skills perfected in practice, the fencing team would find itself unlikely to succeed. To ensure that each teammate had the energy to keep going, the Hills fencing coach had the athletes run 10 to 15 laps each practice. Thanks to these intense drills, the players learned to build stamina that they had to rely on during their intense bouts. February 6th, 2012 The girls team had their last and one of the most important matches of the season before the big county meet. Senior Carly Perlman said, “We were so energetic and anxious because it was our last meet and it was against Commack, which was our biggest competitor because our teams matched up so well. We had never lost to them in the past, but we all knew it would not be an easy win. In addition, we had the same record as Commack, so the winner of the meet would also come in second in the league.” The tension could be felt by everyone attending the match. After the first round, Hills was down by a few bouts, but in the end, they pulled it together and beat Commack. The bus ride home was filled with overwhelming pride due to a successful meet which led the girls to compete in counties.

DURING TOURNAMENTS, it is imperative to be supportive and watch other teammates. The varsity épée team, Sabrina Kim [9], Mackenzie Schneider [12], and Julie Park [11] anxiously watched their teammates compete against their opponents. “At counties, I felt so supported by everyone around me. As I saw my teammates compete, I felt really proud and connected to the team,” said Kim.

FOOTWORK, BLADEWORK, AND FOCUS are crucial for success when attacking. Shannon Beller [12] won a majority of her bouts at counties by initiating her attacks. “Whenever I win a match, it’s a direct result of my blade work and my focus,” said Beller.

[

FENCING IS A PHYSICALLY and mentally demanding sport. Amanda Lewis [10] concentrated on every action she made on the strip at counties. “When I advance down a strip, I need to make smart decisions and execute the right actions so the opponent doesn’t catch me by surprise,” said Lewis.

IN ORDER TO EXCEL AT FENCING, one must warm up before performing. Lindsey Squires [11] and Carly Perlman [12] warmed up together on the strip before counties. “Warm ups lead to perfection. Perfection leads to excellence. Excellence leads to victory,” said Squires.

“When walking onto the strip, all you can feel is your heartbeat and drive to win. All the sounds of cheering from your team fade and you focus on your opponent. Salute your opponent, your director. Pull down your mask and win.” _Samuel Gochman [10]

WEAPON VARIATIONS

February 11th The county tournament provoked feelings of both intense stress and enjoyment. The team found it difficult to stay focused for the entire day, yet they performed wonderfully. After placing third as a team, four Hills West girls qualified for individuals. For many of the seniors it was their final competition, which gave them the motivation they needed to put everything they knew on the strip and perform their best. Junior Lindsay Squires shared, “During counties, I kept thinking that this is my last opportunity to make myself stand out for the 2011-12 fencing season, and my only opportunity to make it to the top six. So during counties, I was even more motivated than I was to go 3-0 during meets.” Like the girls, the Hills Boys fencing team gained well-deserved respect at the County Championships. Although their record was not as high as they hoped, they made their name known by coming in 3rd place at the tournament. With some of the toughest practices and players, the Half Hollow Hills fencing team built an outstanding reputation, shaped some spectacular athletes, and left behind big shoes to fill next season. Kelsey Ng [12]

the unique weapons used in fencing

Épée “Épée is a very intense weapon. It is a point-contact weapon, and you can hit anywhere on the body. That’s what makes this weapon so difficult. You have to be on your toes every second of the bout.” _John Malandrakis [10]

Foil “Foil is a very technical weapon. There are a lot of rules. Also, foil has the smallest target area since you can only hit the torso. For foil you need to be very precise and smart as you try to gain the right of way.” _Alana Kessler [10]

Sabre “Sabre is definitely the fastest weapon in the sport. Since it is a slashing weapon you have to be very fast and react quickly so the opponent doesn’t catch you off guard.” _Israel Gangidino [9]

“Wrestling is not like any other sport. The person with the most will to win and dedication to the sport comes out on top.” _Christopher Reilly [11]

ver the last few years, wrestling has been the Hills West sport that has shown the most improvement. This year the team was led by County Champion and State finalist, junior Tyler Grimaldi. The team maintained one of the best wrestling programs on Long Island and achieved astounding success in numerous competitions. November, 2011 Walking the hallways, Hills West students definitely noticed the wrestlers scattered throughout the crowd. In an effort to build bonds of teamwork, almost every Colt wrestler dyed his hair blonde. “I wouldn’t say it was one particular person’s idea; we were talking about it for a while at practice, but if I had to say it would be Chris (Reilly) and Tyler (Grimaldi) who really made it a serious thing,” said junior Nicholas Lawrence. As a group, they went to Cactus Salon where each member got their hair dyed completely blond. Junior Jagger Rebozo said jokingly, “I gave everyone no choice, I basically made them do it. We all looked stupid, but at least we looked stupid as a team.” Students and faculty alike were curious about this new hair trend. “Everyone was asking why we did it, but there really was no reason. It was merely a team-bonding thing,” said junior Tyler Grimaldi. Although it was a somewhat curious endeavor, the hair-dying certainly united the team, and let the entire school body know who the Colt wrestlers were. January 25th, 2012 The League Championships were finally here, in which the team, rather than the individual, would either win the League Championship or go down together. It was an uphill battle from the start as their Hauppague opponents took an early lead. But things soon changed when junior Jagger Rebozo had a big pin that “put [them] in the lead for the first time in the match.” Following Rebozo’s victory, Tyler Grimaldi and junior

Joseph Piccolo both defeated their opponents by technicals. Senior Ryan Carter also won a close match, but in the end, Hauppague won more games and, therefore, won the League Championship. February 11th This day marked the County Championship, the most profound event for wrestlers in the region. Held at Stony Brook University, Hills West had nine wrestlers competing in a high octane tournament. Each moment was more intense than the last, as 16 wrestlers from each weight class competed in bracket-style match-ups until a winner was crowned. Undeniably, the star of the day was Tyler Grimaldi, who won all four of his rounds in the 160 lb. class and emerged a triumphant champion. Joe Piccolo was also another great performer of the day; he made it to the final round until, unfortunately, he lost in a well-fought match against his tenacious opponent. They both proudly represented the school, and Tyler won West’s first County Championship since 1986. Emerging a champion, Tyler now had to prepare for his next challenge: the state finals. February 24th-25th Traveling up to Albany, Tyler Grimaldi was excited to compete in the tournament he always dreamed of: the State Finals. He beat his first three opponents, and was ready to take the championship in the finals match. Sadly, in the final match-up, Tyler lost in a hard fought 11-4 effort to a wrestler who would later become the National Champion. “The finals were unreal. It was like everything was moving in slow motion. It (the loss) motivated me to get back and win the title,” said Grimaldi. Tyler was recently crowned an AllAmerican and recognized as the 4th best wrestler in the country in his weight class. Undoubtedly, with his wrestling ability, work ethic, and sportsmanship, he definitely has a shot at becoming State, and even National Champion, next year. Jesse Scheinman [11]

WINNING A WRESTLING MATCH is something all players strive for. Tyler Grimaldi [11] proved to be victorious against his Riverhead opponent. “There’s no feeling like winning a wrestling match. I know I’ve earned it, which is an amazing feeling,” said Grimaldi.

[

IN THE SPOTLIGHTwith Tyler Grimaldi [11] 2012 Achievements: All-American, 4th in the Country, State Finalist, County Champion, Most Wins in West’s History “I broke a bunch of records this year. Most notably, I had the most wins in the school’s history. However, I don’t really care about any of that. All I really care about is getting on the mat and beating anyone in front of me.”

GETTING CLOSE TO THE MAT IS the only way individuals can benefit during matches. Zachary Aal [12] cross faced his Riverhead opponent to take the win. “When wrestling, I always have to think about all the advances I can make. In the end, everything on the mat is deserved; nothing is given,” said Aal.

TAKING DOWN THE OPPOSITION is mostly done through aggressive tackles. Ryan Carter [12] aided his team by successfully bar-arming his competitor in several matches. “In order to help my team, I have to do whatever I can to score points,” said Carter.

BEFORE MATCHES, PLAYERS THINK about what they can do to come out on top. Deven Williams [12] proved to be talented enough for semi-finals, and made sure he had the proper mind set to be victorious during his match against West Babylon. “I knew semi-finals was a big match for me; so, before the matches, I just let everything go and did what I had to do to win,” said Williams.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH one has to make sure he can control and attack the opponent. Chris Reilly [11] persistently moved forward when at Leagues. “Since it was such a critical match, I kept looking at the score points to keep advancing,” said Reilly.

THE BACKSTROKE ALLOWS individuals to power through the water with their arm strength. Michael Mattera [10] swam the 100 meter race with an eye on the competition. “During the backstroke, I always look at other swimmers so I can be aware of who is in front of me,” said Mattera.

Players discuss wearing speedos in front of others

efore the Half Hollow Hills boys swim team could display its true potential, the members had to learn to work as a team. Unfortunately, a stellar reputation was not enough motivation for the team to win its first meet. December 14th, 2011 Sophomore Sam Fassler said, “The meet against Ward Melville was probably the most important because it was our first meet of the season, and it came down to the last race. The meet was the first team loss in five years, so it was a wake up call that we had to work harder and the season wasn’t going to be handed to us.” Unfortunately, the legacy the previous years had left behind was not enough to continue their streak. However, the boys quickly turned around their first loss into positive reinforcement, learning to work as a team and dominate the meets. The boys swim team went on to compete against Sayville/Bayport, Hauppauge, Sachem North, Brentwood, Smithtown, Islip/ Commack, and West Islip, winning all of these meets. Their hard work definitely paid off as they made their way to Leagues and Counties. February 9th “The stakes were high during the Leagues at Sachem North,” shared senior Patrick Jakubiak, “because it was our moment to show everyone in our league that our loss to Ward Melville was just a fluke.

_Roman Tirone [11] “Showing off my immaculate white thighs to everyone is one of the main reasons I joined the team. The speedo really brings out the inner beauty in each swimmer.”

_Michael Mattera [10] “I do not mind wearing speedos in front of my teammates because we all do it. In front of the crowd, its just awkward and weird.”

SWIMMERS HAVE TO EXERCISE their breathing skills in order to swim to the best of their potentials. Andres Rodriguez [11] took frequent breaths in order to restore his energy in the middle of his race. “Breathing skills are probably just as important as the movements because it allows me to power through the water and reach the end of the race,” said Rodriguez.

AFTER EVERY RACE, swimmers are almost too exhausted to get out of the olympic sized pool. However, all of the hard work paid off because Sam Fassler [10] did his team justice by ranking in the top three. “Following the race, I was obviously very tired; but, I felt extremely proud of myself because I knew I did my best and placed,” said Fassler.

IN ORDER TO MAKE THEIR WAY down the long lanes, swimmers have to feel comfortable with their strokes. Jabari Hinds [9] used the freestyle stroke as his weapon. “Freestyle is the most competitive of the strokes in the sport, so that’s why I love swimming it,” said Hinds.

“Swimming can be really difficult and a challenge at times. But, as long as I stay focused and motivated, the sport comes a lot easier.” _Alex Ashkinos [11]

Leagues was a big event for us; everyone swam amazingly well that day, and we proved to everyone that we’re still the top team on Long Island.” The team’s awesome performance at the League meet foreshadowed yet another victory at the County Championships. February 18th After a great season, the swim team was able to win the Suffolk County Championships. Senior Ryan Savit was, “very proud of the guys and the hard work they put in this year.” According to him, this past season was, “another great year as another League and County title was gained.” Junior Roman Tirone believed that, “the loss at Ward Melville was a key contributor to the amazing energy the team brought to the County Championship because it brought us back to reality. It helped us bring out the strong character and resilience that was inside all of us. The loss provided us with an intense realization that we had to get it together in order to become the best team within Suffolk county.” The boys learned to use their respectable reputation as a driving force rather than a crutch. This season was nothing more than a continuation of an already successful streak, only adding to the team’s prestige. Alyssa Milman [11]

IN THE SPOTLIGHT with Ryan Savit [12] 2012 Achievements: Broke 30 Year County Record, Undefeated High School Career Record, County Champion, All-American “To get to this point, it took years of practice and hard work, often limiting my social life to improve my diving. Most people don’t consider diving as a very desirable sport and most people don’t realize how devoted I am to be the best diver I can possibly become. My individual accomplishments are special, but the continued success that made Half Hollow Hills Swimming and Diving a dynasty means the most to me. There is nothing that I would change about my swimming and diving career; I have been surrounded by a great group of teammates and coaches.”

BLOOD DONORS OFTEN WALK into the gym without any clue of what is going to happen when donating blood. Dylan Fassler [10] just went in, gave the information, and ended up in the donating chair. “I didn’t have an idea about what exactly was going to happen besides me helping people. However, I ended up staying in the room for ninety minutes with blood going out and solution going in,” said Fassler.

VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER “It may seem crazy to be the ones running into a burning house while everyone is running out, but there is no substitute for the feeling I get for servicing my community and knowing that I am saving lives.”

_Chanan Schupak [12]

“I’ve been participating in the blood drive for four years now because I feel like it’s one of the most meaningful events the school holds. I get to save a life, so I make a point to go to it every year.” _Ryan Isaacs [12]

“There is no better feeling than responding to a scene knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s life. Every time I hear those sirens go off I gain a new perspective of what is truly important. That, to me, is a reward in itself.”

_Zachary Fortgang [12]

BLOOD DRIVE

arch 16th, 2012 7:30 A.M. Setup began in the new gym for the well anticipated annual Hills West blood drive. Anxious prospective donors, ranging from teachers to students, walked around frantically getting their paperwork ready and their blood, quite literally, pumping. 10:00 A.M. Despite the large needle and brief sense of discomfort, one student was as cool as can be. For senior Daniel Harris, donating blood has become quite a regular routine. “I am a frequent blood donor. Not only do I participate in the drive each year at West, but also I donate platelets bi-weekly at a donor center, so donating is very natural for me,” explained Harris. 12:00 P.M. As the day unfolded, it became clear that not all participants were as experienced as Harris. Some were first-timers such as se-

nior Michael Tiongson. “All four years of high school I saw the signs for the blood drive but have been scared of participating. However, this year, I decided to take the risk. I wanted to experience something that I normally wouldn’t have done,” said Tiongson. 2:00 P.M. As the day wrapped up, students and teachers left the building with the satisfaction of contributing to a special cause. In an effort to rally students for this awesome event, senior Victoria Yu exclaimed, “I say just do it! You won’t regret it. Think of all the lives you could save with your blood donation. That’s really all that matters.” Yu was a first time blood donor, but was certain this was not her last donation. March 26th Just ten days after the blood drive the students of Hills West were already motivated to give back to the community. Whether stu-

ELECTRONIC DRIVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB always helps the world with the electronic drive, as many people have extra, old, or broken cell phones. Nadia McKinney [11], along with other members of the Environmental Club, stayed after school to sort out-of-date technology and sell it for money. “The money we raised was intended to buy a portion of the rainforest so the government can’t eradicate it,” said McKinney.

dents were strolling along the hallways or rushing down the stairs to get to class, they certainly noticed the hand made signs created by TAP members. Hills West’s TAP [Teen Animal Protectors] Club sponsored an animal food and toy drive this past year. The eager participants collected “three garbage bags full of supplies, including towels, blankets, dog beds, toys, and food,” said TAP advisor Mrs. Abby Rosenblum. “This is so special because the club is based around helping animals and it feels great to help the pets within our own community,” exclaimed sophomore Lisa Jacoby. Every year students continue to show their support for the Half Hollow Hills community. While some students do it because it gives them a sense of pride, senior Lauren Baronofsky does it, “because it is simply the right thing to do.” Samantha Wieder [12]

PROM DRESS DRIVE STUDENTS OFTEN PERSUE helping larger charities, such as the Prom Dress Boutique at Nassau Community College. Rachel Rosenberg [11] collected prom dresses, shoes, and purses to distribute to those who can not afford their own attire and accessories for prom. “With the help of Key Club, Mrs. Keller, and others, I was able to collect over 150 dresses, which will change the memories that many girls will have of high school,” said Rosenberg.

THE POOR ECONOMY OFTEN FUELS fund-raisers that help different causes, such as animal awareness. Rachel Smith [11], Victoria Avallone [11], Cate Blachly [11] and Claire Petrosino [11] spent a lot of time advocating animal rights while collecting general pet supplies for Teen Animal Protectors. “Because of the current economy, it is difficult for shelters to generate necessary funds, so we asked people to donate supplies and even old blankets,” said Smith.

Then we held the original negatives of some of our favorite photographers such as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. It was an incredible experience.”

2. “After the Fed Challenge presentation at the Federal Reserve Bank of NY, the team and I took a somber trip to the World Trade Center Memorial. As we walked around the perimeter of the former buildings, it was impossible to hold back tears. We were imagining what each person who was killed was like, and the families they left behind. We did a lot of reflecting, knowing that at the end of the day we were able to go home to our families. It didn’t matter at that moment if we failed a test, didn’t get into a good school, or lost Fed Challenge, all that mattered was that we were still alive and not a name written in that black stone, and that fact really changed our view of the world.”

5. “Our French class took a trip to the Met. Our teacher gave us a list of important paintings and exhibits we should see, but we went our separate ways and toured the entire museum. As we went through each exhibit, we were able to see how modern language and ancient art had close connections and how they developed throughout the years. It started off as merely a day off from school, but it turned out to be a truly educational trip that enlightened many of us to the beautiful history of the French language.”

The meetings consist of basically an open round table discussion about various topics related to our school. I believe Mrs. Fallon is doing what she believes is best for the schools, and I hope she can take some of our input and make it happen.”

“One step, one sound. This quote is the motto our team follows during every practice and performance. We work together and step together as one unified team.” _Camille English [12]

hey can be seen walking through the halls the day before a football or basketball game proudly decked out in red and gold apparel with sparkly bows in their hair. They manage to not only support the athletes of Hills West, but also they work to achieve their own competitive titles. And most importantly, they’ll give you endless reasons to explain exactly why what they do is a sport. You guessed it, they are the Hills West Cheerleaders. March 6th, 2012 3:00 P.M. Long practices spent in the wrestling room not only helped to prepare the girls for performances at games, but also bonded each individual together as one unified team. Senior captain Amanda Perez is a perfect representative of how welcoming and strong the team unity truly is. “I tried out for cheerleading my junior year and fell in love with the sport instantly. There was so much to learn, but the girls made it easy and interesting. When senior year came around, I got the privilege to become a captain. This year has definitely been unforgettable, and we had so many new girls come onto the team to help our cheer family grow profoundly. It’s been an incredible experience with the team.”

NEWCOLT in town

Another proud member of cheerleading can always be spotted around the halls of West, usually with a cast around her knee. Fellow senior Erika Sanders shared, “I came to the team without even knowing how to do a cartwheel, and I never would have thought that so much was possible to accomplish in four years. The friendships and bonds I’ve made while being a part of the team throughout high school has really been the most incredible part of it.” It’s easy to see that not only did the cheerleaders of Hills West exhibit strength in lifting each other through the air, but they also exemplified strength through the bonds that united them. 4:30 P.M. This year, the Hills West Step Team greatly improved, mastering complicated routines and amazing huge crowds with each performance. The team worked diligently to make sure everyone performed in synch, spending months timing each clap, stomp, and step. Senior captain Camille English shared, ‘It’s harder to get freshmen insync because they are new to the whole process, but that’s only for about two to three months. This year we placed fifth in the 2012 Annual Step-Off out of twelve.” Mariah Courtney [12]

TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE a routine, dancers must have an excellent sense of rhythm. Maia Johnson [9] has a few tricks up her sleeve to master dancing with the beat of a dance. “When performing, I constantly tell myself not to mess up, and I keep reviewing the steps in my head by chewing my gum to the tempo,” said Johnson.

THE STEP TEAM INCORPORATES claps and complex dance moves into the timedependent routines. Ashley Croker-Benn [10] performed the very popular three part step perfectly synchronized with her teammates, Maia Johnson and [9] and Chloe Jasmin [10]. “The three part step is my favorite because it starts off slowly and then gets really fast,” said Croker-Benn.

LIGHTHEARTED CHEERS BOOST the mood at many intense sports games. Micaela Aronica [11], one of the cheer team’s captains, maintained high spirits no matter the situation. “Cheering at games makes me feel so involved in my school and makes me feel like I’m doing my part,” said Aronica.

Students’ reactions to the new mascot “The new mascot costume is much different than what Hills West was used to. It is very cartoon like and looks more like a dragon than a colt, but it’s way better than the old one we had.” _Kanvar Gulati [9]

CHEERLEADERS AND MASCOTS add to the fun and atmosphere of school events. Amanda Perez [12], along with the rest of her cheer team, invited the new mascot onto the school’s court. “We’re all really close, which makes our cheering even better. I’ll be so sad to leave this family,” said Perez.

“The new mascot looks like a cartoon. I much prefer the old mascot. It was more detailed. The old one was classy and represented West from the start. There was no need for a change. _Bryan Hargrove [10]

DANCES ARE GREAT BREAKS from the competitive nature of sport games. William Holley [12] and the step team performed a number to provide relief from a tense basketball game against Huntington that left West winning, 90-65. “Whenever we preform in front of our peers, we make extra sure that the routines are perfect. One step, one sound,” said Holley.

he beginning of spring was welcomed by two very heated competitions. The Hills West Wranglerettes knew they needed to be good before, but good wouldn’t do it this time; the girls had to be absolutely spectacular. March 3rd, 2012 As soon as March began, the girls packed their bags and hit the airport, anxious to get to Disney for their first competition of March. Senior Dana Shannon said, “we practiced hard and worked together to motivate each other and have strict precision.” One may assume that Florida calls for a relaxing vacation, but “the competitions were tough; we were competing against girls who took dance as

their gym class,” said senior Alison Weinreb. Between the intense practices and overwhelming competitions, the girls found time to soak up the sun and enjoy some thrilling rides. After all, they deserved it— gaining the title of National Champions was no small feat. “When the ending result was us winning the National Championship, we knew that all the hard work, dedication, and hardship made every part of winning even more amazing,” said Alison Weinreb. March 8th Next up was Myrtle Beach. Here the Wranglerettes had a reputation; they were known as the team to beat. However, this acclaim didn’t stop the girls from holding rigourous practices.

two day competition. Though it did get tiring, it was more than worth it as a new team member.” The girls practiced intensely in order to get their moves on point, their turns spot on, and their walks in unison. According to senior Marianna Allevato, “As captains, we kept everyone on task during practices, and at night we all would go out to dinner. During these dinners though, all we did was complain about how exhausted we were!” At Myrtle, the girls took home the most trophies. With the season coming to a close, the seniors began feeling sentimental. Senior Alexandra Molinelli said, “This team has become like a second family. We performed so well this year, and I’m going miss it.” Khadeeja Ibrahim [12]

“It was really fun to experience being taped for TV and participating in the contest. The day consisted of arriving at SUNY Old Westbury, eating breakfast and getting ready backstage, filming commercials and voting advertisements for the team, then preforming our dances. It was exciting to know that our dances were going to be shown on TV for everyone to see!” _Alexis Mitchnick [9]

_Dana Shanon [12] “Myrtle Beach was a great trip as always and a fun bonding experience for the team. As one of the team leaders, it meant a lot to see all the hard work from the year coming together at the competition. It made myself, and all the other captains extremely proud to know we led the team to find improvement, success and wins that we deserved as a whole team.”

“Trust is a large factor that plays into lifts because you need to trust that the people lifting you won’t let you fall. Since our team is so close that’s easy for us and less frightening than some people may think. Modern dances convey a lot of emotions not only through facial expressions but through body movements too, so all the lifts and choreography contribute a lot to the overall mood of the dance.” _Jaclyn Kantrowitz [11]

We enjoyed basketball half time shows because they show our support and the games were great practice for our national competitions. That number has been prepared since summer and it only continued to improve, which makes the captains so content. Working hard led to great results and made this season one that we will never forget.” _Marianna Allevato [12]

[Cross Country]

_Jill Faber [12] “Racers are made to be extremely light so that I am carrying less weight on my feet when I run, which makes running easier. These are special because my two best track friends that graduated have the same ones, so the racers make me think of them.”

sports

A DIFFERENT SPORT, A DIFFERENT SHOE

Wrestling

_Mackenzie Silverman [12] “Golf shoes are just shoes with spikes in the bottom so we don’t slide or lose balance. The spiked shoes allow for my lower body to remain relatively still as my upper body and hips rotate, but I usually look like a goon.”

_ Joshua Mease [11] “Sneakers for volleyball are unique because they are light, this allows you to stay very agile which is what volleyball is all about.”

_Nicole Jaghab [11] “Soccer cleats grip or dig into the ground so I don’t slip on the field, and they’re light so it’s easy to run. The vision of a champion is someone who puts everything they have into it, drenched in sweat to the point of exhaustion, through the help of good shoes.”

Wins League Championship: 2nd Place County Championship: 6th Place

Coaches: Mike Patrovich, Ryan Patrovich, Mike Lupa Zachary Aal [12], Hasahn Benitez [11], Ryan Carter [12], Tyler Grimaldi [11], Joseph Piccolo [11], Jagger Rebozo [11], Christopher Reilly [11], Deven Williams [12]

But what is special about each pair?

_ Hailey Ozsvath [11] “Tennis shoes are flat on the bottom and don’t grip the court so that we can move around better and not get stuck.”

[Golf]

_Carly Perlman [12] “Fencing shoes are generally flatter which helps give a fencer more control over his or her footwork.”

Coach: Bill Hender, Linda Biglin, Jason Braun Ana Alhoud [11], Yasamen Aminy [9], Madison Boriskin [10], Paige Botie [10], Jennifer Casadonte [9], Isabella Dana [10], Tiara Davis [11], Maria Dischley [11], Gabrielle Espert [10], Jill Faber [11], Lexus Francis [10], Shannen Gorman [11], Kerri Ann Graber [11], Courtney Grimaldi [10], Jasmine Hennep [12], Nyashia Hibbert [12], Emily Hillebrand [10], Kayla Hodge [9], Emily Horowitz [10], Kiara Jackson [9], Alyssa Jean [9], Cierra Jordan [11], Alexis Le Gare [10], Shannon Ma [9], Alexandra Makover [11], Michaela McElhatton [9], Taylor McGee [9], Alexandre Medina [9], Alyssa Milman [11], Deborah Myrtil [11], Alyssa Ng [11], Adaora Onyebeke [11], Elizabeth Pabisch [11], Esprit Parker [11], Amanda Pierre-Louis [10], Mia Pitsironis [11], Angela Pradhan [10], Andrea Ramsay [10], Joanna Ramsay [10], Meghan Richter [10], Carly Rosen [12], Julia Schwartz [9], Javeria Siddiqui [11], Brittany Stuart [11], Amanda Troendle [10], Regine Williams [9], Deja Wilson [11]

[Basketball]

Boys and Girls Fencing

_Joan Mackey [10] “Basketball is all about good form for a good shot, quick feet for a quick defense, but most of all teamwork. But, I can’t do any of these three things without having good shoes for ankle support, good grip, and let’s not forget style.”

Clubs I

f there’s one thing that makes high school memorable, it’s the diversity and the availability of clubs. At West, clubs provide a sanctuary for students and a break between the busy day and the large amount of studying at home. It’s possible for all students to find their niche with clubs ranging from Chess Club to Philosophy Club. Students at West spend a large portion of their time participating in clubs and activities, which affect their overall high school experience. “I’m in Itchus, African American Stu-

dent Organization [AASO] and cheerleading. I’ve realized that clubs are a great way to enhance one’s experience at HSW. Here, I created new bonds with people, and learned new things that would help me in the future. It’s a good thing to join a lot of activities, because high school only happens once and you want to live it to the fullest,” said freshman Taylor McGee. Clubs are a way for people to find people with similar interests and make friends. Also, joining groups focused on helping others and the planet truly makes

an impact on the student. “Since I was a freshman, I was a member of the Environmental Club. Now, as co-president, I understand the impact of our efforts. We’ve started a school recycling system, collecting hundreds of pounds of paper. This club brings students together to help our community,” said junior Laura Kessler. Clubs can either make or break a high school experience, and are an important aspect of a student’s high school journey. They create a supportive social scene and unite [our] student body.

“It’s exciting to be starting college in a few months knowing that high school is coming to an end. Our time here passed by really fast. Of my 13 years of experience in Half Hollow Hills, I will never forget playing sports for the schools and having friendships that will last for a very long time.”

Nicholas Bisulca

“The idea of graduating is overwhelming, in a good and not-so-good way. We will be moving on and starting a new exciting chapter of our lives where we can truly find ourselves and take our first steps into the world. On the other hand we are leaving high school behind and all of the people that have helped us make amazing memories the last four years. It is hard to grasp the idea of leaving Hills West and never coming back as students again, yet I’m overjoyed to finally be done!”

“My most memorable moment at Half Hollow Hills was the first day of high school. I remember that first day perfectly. I was excited yet afraid at the same time. I did not know what to expect but at the end of the day, I knew high school was going to be something special. Graduating is a bitter sweet feeling, because at Half Hollow Hills, I accomplished many things and met so many incredible people. It saddens me that I will have to say goodbye to all this; however, I am excited to start a new chapter in my life and attend college.”

Heather Mooney

“Since I moved to Dix Hills in second grade, I thought finding friends would be hard for me. Everybody made me feel so welcomed and I couldn’t have been happier. I am very thankful to be able to learn from the amazing teachers in Half Hollow Hills because without them I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Sometimes when I think about leaving the district I have mixed feelings. Part of me is ready to move on, but then the other part doesn’t want to let go of the memories here. Unfortunately, being part of the Wranglerettes didn’t fit into my schedule in high school, but I still left a lot of time to help with choreographing homecoming performances the past three years. Even though it was hectic, it helped me get closer to my classmates.”

“To be honest, I don’t really have one experience that I can reflect upon from high school. One thing that I will remember is the times that I spent with my friends outside of school. I’ll really remember how, although we were put under a lot of pressure to do well, we always made time to mess around and have fun. Still, I’m extremely excited to be graduating. I feel that a lot of people might be anxious or nervous about putting this huge chapter in our lives behind us, but to me it’s exciting. I feel that in college I’ll be working towards a tangible goal, and I look forward to this. Before, my hard work was to get into a good school, but now my work is going towards starting a successful life for myself. It may seem scary at first, but for me, it just really motivates me.”

“After being part of the district for thirteen years, I am so lucky to have met such great people who I will definitely keep in contact with. Finally making it to senior year is a bittersweet experience. It is very upsetting to leave everyone I’ve been with for so long. But, at the same time, I am looking forward to my future and what I can possibly do to help others. Graduating is both scary and exciting, but I am lucky to be a part of a school district that has prepared me for college and future opportunities.”

Abrams, Amanda “If you had one shot, or one opportunity. To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip away?” Agdere, Aris I’ll skip the comedic routine for a few inspirational words of wisdom. Unfortunately, there is a cap on maturity and independent thought in high school. There is no need to adapt to a social environment. Wear the clothes you want, listen to the music you like, DO the things YOU like to do. Live for yourself, and above all… don’t take AP Econ. Agulnick, Michael “Time is like water from a faucet; once it’s gone down the drain you can’t ever get it back.” – Russian Proverb Alcazar, Michael These four years of high scool have been great. I wish everyone good luck in college and when it comes to picking friends, remember: “Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.” And to everyone in band, thanks for all the great times...Ride On

Ali, Faiza “Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.” Ali, Nayab “Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.” -Drake. SENIO12S Allevato, Marinna “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you’er than you.” - Dr. Seuss Anton, James “Don’t be one of those people who takes everything in life personally, just learn to accept the good and forget the bad. It’s hard, I know, but in the end it makes every moment worth it. Play time is over kids, I’ll see you in the real world.” Aradhya, Nitin Everything is always okay in the end; if it’s not, then it’s not the end.

Aurrichio, Christopher The year I will remember forever...10 years, 20 years, and 30 years from now I hope to look back on this yearbook and see that I have accomplished everything I set out to do...Big Thanks to my boys on Soccer and Lacrosse for making High School even better; however, so much to prove in lax… We got this Drew… Homecoming Court 2012.-…SENIORS HAVE NO REGRETS!!!! Babureddy, Adit “Are you such a dreamer to put the world to rights; I’ll stay home forever, where two and two always makes a five.” -Radiohead Bae, Suhwoo “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” -Albert Einstein Balbi, Alanna “We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.” -Lynn Hall

Balling, Amanda “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, no one but ourselves can free our minds” -Bob Marley Peace. Love Class of 2012!!!!!

Belloff, Ross As the famous Brad Kaczmarek once said, “GOOD or BAD.” Seniors 2012... We are good.

Balling, Andrew live it up, don’t look back, letsssssssgoooooooooooo Baronofsky, Lauren Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Bergman, Darienne Class of 2012, I can’t believe we’re finally graduating! I remember us just starting middle school and now we’re all seniors ready to go our separate ways! I wish everyone the best of luck in the future. L.I & A.R thanks for being the greatest friends anyone could ask for, I love you both so much. Once again congrats to the senior class of 2012 and never forget IT ENDS WITH US.

Bathija, Shannon It’s Easier To Fall, Than To Pick Yourself Back Up

Bernard, Jacqueline “Stay positive and just do whatever makes you happy”- Charles Trippy

Beller, Shannon “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” Seniors 2012 will always be remembered.

Bernard, Michelle Confidence is the most important thing you can bring with you after high school. Without confidence, it’s impossible to get where you want to go in life.

Blackman, Emile “Remember: Always let your conscience be your guide.” - Pinocchio Blando, Kenny Omg Omg almost forgot about this will. 11:50 P.M. 9 minutes left. Just want to say these 4 years of high school were probably one of the best 4 years of my life. Why do such unforgettable memories have to fly by in the blink of an eye? And 2012..what a great year to end high school. Giants winning Super Bowl XLVl, the start of the Lin Dynasty, and off to college. Life is good. I’ll miss y’all <3 Blando, Nicky Senior year already?! Boy does time fly, and in the past three years it doesn’t seem like I have aged a bit! Honestly, I look like I’m ten, but it’s nice to look young. K Bye. Oh yeah, I’m a boss at ping pong. Pouty out ;-)

Asfour, Michael The end of the beginning and the beginning of the end. Thanks Hills West for four awesome years.

Born, Michelle Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Cabezon, Matthew If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea... does that mean that ONE enjoys it? SENIORS 2012! WE OUT!

Botie, Sydney “My biggest nightmare is I’m driving home and get sick and go to the hospital. I say: ‘Please help me.’ And the people say: ‘Hey, you look like...’ And I’m dying while they’re wondering whether I’m Barbra Streisand.”

Caputo, Gabriella “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.” - H.D. Thoreau

Brandsdorfer, Paige “Now is the time for us to shine, the time when our dreams are in reach and possibilities, vast. Now is the time for all of us to become the people we always dreamed of being. The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time & the rest of your life starts right now.”

Carone, Angela My high school career has been the best few years of my life. To describe my senior year in one word, it would be “unforgettable.” I have gotten so close to my friends that I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be to leave. Good luck with all your endeavors. Although we are all about to begin a new chapter in our lives, I will always have stories to tell about the crazy class of 2012! Xoxo AFM

Cerniello, Danielle “They say the best things in life are free.”..SENIORS ’12-the most unforgettable and craziest memories..wouldn’t change a thing,I love you all!!..Adam’s basement-weekend ragersss,picnics w/ melons, hswgvs.. loveugirls,kk.ab.sb.cp.an.mh.eg.ak-my best always<3..“Let’s reminisce over the good times and the bad, reflect on everything we missed cause you know we’ll never get it back..” SENIORS 2012!!!<3 Cerniglia, Alexa Since we were freshmen, we’ve all looked forward to senior year, but now that it’s come and gone, I’m not too sure where the time went. I’ve met some pretty amazing people along the way, people I will never forget. We might go our separate ways for college, but we’ll always be close at heart. Good luck to everyone in all their endeavors; senio12s, it’s been a long road, but we made it! Chacko, Kristine Whatever you are, be a good one. Take care.

Chaudhry, Maha “Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” - Albus Dumbledore Chen, Vivian “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” -Anatole France SENIORS 2012: Best of luck to everyone!

Colon, Ashley I would like to thank Wikipedia and Google for getting me this far. Also to Twitter and Facebook, thanks for making cyber stalking not only possible, but socially acceptable. To God, thank you for always having my back. And, Mom, thanks for giving birth to such an amazing daughter. Cornetta, Dale “It’s been fun.” -Dale Cornetta

Choi, Lumielle k.

Costa, Michelle Seniors: People who don’t care, give up on almost everything, get into the most trouble, count down until graduation day, and dislike every freshmen.

Cohen, Nicole “Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why. It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right. I hope you had the time of your life.” – Green Day

Courtney, Mariah Do-It-Yourself Senior Quote: I would like to thank all my (PLURAL NOUN) for their (ABSTRACT NOUN) over the past four years. I can honestly say my time at Hills West was the most (ADJECTIVE), (ADJECTIVE), and (ADJECTIVE) of my (NOUN). (VERB) you all.

Croffie, Nana Four years since I was an annoying, ugly freshman trying to figure out where to sit in the cafeteria. Now I’m the coolest, and best-looking kid around. <-lol moment, I know. On a serious note, congrats to the class of 2012 for being the craziest out there. Shout out to Homecoming Court 2011 and the varsity soccer & track team. Lastly a quote: “There’s a million ways to shine, choose one.” #seniors<3 Cusanelli, Tiffany Walk by faith not by sight

Chan, Helen (516) 300-1488 I’ll always be here for you.

Broadus, Angelique I want to give a shout out to all my classmates...I love you all and hope nothing but love and good things for y’all in da future. Am gonna miss my girls Shamoy and Amber, we had the best times together..Umm...Ight... am out...One.

I died at Finding Nemo. D’Agostino, Lauren “Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can’t change.

Desroches, Julien It takes a minute to say hello but forever to say goodbye.

Dumorne, David Be you, be daring, be more than just eye candy.

Good luck to everyone in their future! Class of 2012!!

To my seniors 2012- Couldn’t imagine a better class. Congratulations and good luck with everything!

Fitzpatrick, Peter My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!

Gaglione, Melissa These past 4 years will never be duplicated, they will never be changed but, they will be remembered. These past 4 years I laughed uncontrollably, loved blindly, and lived life to it’s fullest. These past 4 years were the best years of my life.

Garcia, Blake “Learn the rules well so you know how to break them properly.” Dalai Lama Gavras, Emily “Just Keep Swimming” - Dory Gentil, Matthew “We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.” Gentili, Casey AH! I cannot believe the time has finally come! I must admit, it has been an absolutely crazy 4 years, but we’ve made it! I wish everyone the best in college and after! Just like Aristotle said, “Change in all things is sweet.” Xoxo Giannone, Elizabeth Most people know me as the girl who knows how to party, and you’re certainly right. But, as I merge into this new chapter leaving behind amazing friends and the school that molded me into the person I am, I will always return to my roots, because in the end I’m just tryin’ to party except I’m moving my kind spirit to the west coast now! It was real Hills West! It’s just time I step up my game.

Gleit, Dylan “As a boy I was a hermit crab, but I soon came out of my shell. Now I am a pincer crab, and soon I will be at my full power as a deadly nuclear lobster.” - Thom Yorke Gottlieb, Jenna Although high school only lasts for four years, I’ve made memories that will last forever. Thanks to all of my friends, family and teachers for making my high school experience one that I will never be able to forget or replace. Anyway, good luck class of 2012 and thanks for the amazing memories! Greenbaum, Evan In 20 years from now, I expect to come back to see black lights all over the school and Avicii blasting every time the period ends - keep it real and keep on ragggin’ seniors 2012, we the illesssst. Greenberg, Sarah “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” Congrats class of 2012! We made it.

Greenfield, Harrison Senior year has been the best experience of my life. I’m gonna miss every single one of you- teachers and friends. YOLO!!! Greenfield, Jamie These past four years at Hills West have been extraordinary. This school has been the foundation of lifelong friendships and so many great memories. It seems all we’ve ever wanted was to grow older, and here we are as seniors wishing we could stay. Through all the laughter, stress, tests, parties, friendships and tears, these past four years will remain in our hearts forever. 2012 Guido, John Vanessa If you’re reading this, I’m long gone by now. It also means the mission failed. I’m sorry it had to be this way, but I did what I could to prevent the inevitable. It’s in your hands now. In the top drawer of the desk in our suite lies a key to the safe house and a message written in code. Go there, take what you can, and don’t let them find you. Fight hard. Live another day. I love you.

Harris, Daniel “You’re still here? It’s over. Go home. Go!” - Ferris Bueller Hartnett, Danielle “Destiny is not a matter of chance, it’s a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”- William Jennings Bryan. This is for the friendships created, experiences shared, time worth spending and memories worth remembering. Here’s to new beginnings and stories yet to be written. Best of Luck Class of 2012! Hennep, Jasmine These 4 years were absolutely crazy. I met so many amazing people. I had so much fun getting involved, and I hope everyone is successful in the future. But make sure you don’t stress out like we did all year. Remember that we are young, and we have so many new memories and journeys to follow and keep. “Tonight we are young, so let’s set the world on fire; we can burn brighter, than the sun.” Holley, William I’ll never forget being Co-Captain on the Step Team and performing for the school with all of the members. I’ll miss seeing all my friends during the school week and having off periods with them, but most of all I’ll never forget racing from Sonic to Tanger with my best friend Stephen! If my senior year taught me anything, its to Learn everything you can, anytime you can from anyone you can.”

Kapoor, Saransh “High School is a lot like toilet paper, you only miss it when it’s gone.”

Kayaselcuk, Hamide Shout out to Rafy Tanz for the best times in school!!! Love you Rafy!! xox

Knieste, Diana Luke: What’s in there? / Yoda: Only what you take with you.

Kapur, Karishma “Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.”-Ida Scott Taylor

Kelly, Timothy “The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. “ - Albert Einstein

Kohli, Ekta [insert memories, concern, and wisdom I have yet to obtain here]

Karim, Nabeela “Passion is love and hate,” R. I’ve been passionate about bettering myself and moving forward to things I’ve never seen. Life is an obstacle and it will throw you through hoops. You move on and you learn. So, learn to love what you do and hate when you don’t do it well. It is finally time to do it right, do it well, and go far. Use your support, and balance yourself. Life’s not meant to be easy, just do it to your fullest and love every second of every moment of it!

Kiedaisch, Lauren “If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.” - Dr. Seuss Kim, Emily “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” Horton Hears a Who Kindler, Adam High School might have been the greatest experience of my life, but it has only been the first chapter. From eating a lot of melon throughout the years and having crazy times with all my different friends on the weekend, I’m truly going to miss high school and Hills West, but the future is here and I’m ready to conquer… eventually in California.

Korine, Alex Guys, it’s rowing not Crewing... ABA

Komara, Kimberly And all the roads we have to walk are winding. And all the lights that lead us there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how… Most unforgettable times with the most amazing people. Weekend raging, in class dazing, froyo trips, starbucks sips, loko nights and neon lights. Love all my seniors. Forever young baby!

Koster, Raquel We went to lunch and were talking about procrastination and the waitress overheard us and she said, “I have a problem with procrastination, too.” I said “Really?... Get my sandwich.” - Ellen DeGeneres “I’m so unfamiliar with the gym, I call it James!” – Ellen DeGeneres “When a man marries a woman, he marries her and her wardrobe.” – Raquel Koster So long class of 2012, it’s been fun. Koval, Mikayla This is where the chapter ends, and a new one now begins. Time has come for letting go, the hardest part is when you know. -Tyrone Wells

Kordieh, Edward Class of 2012!!

Label, Harris “Do what you gotta do, but know you gotta change.” ~ Tupac Shakur LaConte, Ariana “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt It ends with us SEN12ORS Lamour, Dominique Never take life seriously, you won’t make it out alive anyway. Well, maybe you should, but not too seriously... I guess the best way to put it is to never give up.

what does [SECOND-SEMESTER SENIOR YEAR] mean to you? “It’s mostly bittersweet. You want it to be over, but you don’t want it to end.”

“I might lose my scholarship.”

_Maris Redin

Lange, Christopher I’m not going to put some fancy quote or some hilarious joke in this, I’m just going to get right to the point, I want to thank everyone for making this one of the sickest years ever, and I wouldn’t want to spend it with any other group of people. Seniors ‘12 Larsen, Isabella High School was quite the experience. There are so many memorable moments, and so many faces that will never be forgotten. Maybe we’ll all meet up again one day in 20 years on another futuristic social networking site. Though leaving will be difficult, I can’t wait to go! See you at the reunion (; Lee, Cameron These past four years have been unforgettable. Since middle school, I’ve been waking up and seeing the same friendly faces. And now that high school is over and we all go our separate ways to do bigger and better things, I’ll no longer have this privilege and will greatly miss everyone. Just remember: never forget from where you came, but always exceed expectations. Good luck to all seniors 12.

Lee, Elizabeth [insert senior will here]. Lee, Jonathan “Stay far from timid, only make moves when ya heart’s in it, and live the phrase sky’s the limit.” -B.I.G Lefkowitz, Jacob I have spent the past 4 years eagerly awaiting the end of High School. Yet here I am finding myself strangely melancholy and morose. I will miss this. I will miss the teachers I’ve come to respect. I will miss the friends I’ve come to love. May you all find the love and happiness you deserve. Live your lives with nobility and wisdom. Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit. Nil sine labore. Levenberg, Alyssa “30 years from now, it won’t matter what shoes you wore, or how your hair looked, or the jeans you bought. What will matter is what you learned and how you used it.” My 4 years at Hills West were amazing, and I’m gonna miss you all so much! Seniors 2012, it ends with us. Lombardi, Matthew “Stay thirsty my friends.”

do you pay for [YOUR OWN GAS]?

“It means it’s surprisingly just like first semester, just more annoying.”

“I don’t mind paying for my gas because I will have to pay for it when I am older anyway, so it is good to learn now. Also, I feel better knowing that I worked for the gas in my car and somebody isn’t just giving it to me.”

Lahens, Bradley Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. It has been the most eventful 4 years of my life, of course the whole foot of growth stands out the most, but I can’t wait for what comes next and being able to look back at all the great memories.

Mine are special because I’ll always remember the friends I made, and the great times I had, especially playing Hills West Soccer. I had amazing experiences and will never forget them. Seniors 2012!!

Special shout out to my soccer and lacrosse teammates, who over these past 4 years have become my family. I’m going to miss you guys, but will never forget the Hills West Seniors of 2012. - CLA and APC McKillop, Michelle These last four years have brought me so many experiences and friendships that I will never forget. As it all comes to an end I have realized that even after I move on, these memories will last a lifetime. Good luck, Seniors 2012! Mckinney, Martine Throughout the 4 years I’ve been in this school I have not felt as thankful and accomplished than I was my senior year. I have broken barriers down in my life. I love all my senio12’s and I will miss you guys more then anything. Aside the drama and issues we have created friendships and relationships that will last a long time. I love you all and watch for me on T.V because Imma be famous.~Daddy

Merber, Casey Somewhere between the stresses of little to no sleep, AP Physics and teenage life, I grew into the person I am. The truth is, when I think back on high school, it’s not the stupid formulas and facts that first come to mind, but the people who made me who I am and gave me lasting memories. To me, school wasn’t a stress-inducing, homework-giving burden, but a second-home to always remember. MJR<3, quadforever. Merkouris, Elizabeth Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today. I will always remember you Seniors 2012! Milord, Taisha Schools Over: Life Begins! Seniors 2012 <3 Minscher, John Throughout my high school experience I’ve been through so many different obstacles and challenges. As you move up in life and succeed in what you love, you go for and try to accomplish many different things. Senior year at Half Hollow Hills High School West was the best time of my life... Molinelli, Alexandra It’s Finally Over!!!!!! (insert smiley face here)

Mooney, Amanda Thank you friends and teachers for a great four years of wonderful memories at High School West. Best of luck to the Class of 2012. Mooney, Heather I am so happy to be graduating with such a great senior class! I have grown up with some of you and have made amazing friendships. Congrats class of 2012, I hope you all have amazing futures! Mooney, Kyle Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland.

Mooney, Ryan “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” Anatole France Mouzakes, Dylan Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things. For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something else. It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice. Seniors 2012! Its been real. Hills West Varsity Baseball will be missed!

Napoli, Kristina “Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go ahead and make your dreams come true.” Thanks to everyone who made high school so memorable, and I wish you all the best of luck in the future! Nelkin, Dylan “Being a kid and growing up. It’s hard and nobody understands.” -Andrew Hussie Ng, Kelsey “Every day of your life is a page of your history.” Thank you to everyone who has been part of writing this part of it.

Seniors 2012, thanks for the best four years; I wouldn’t change a thing and have no regrets. Love my quad, no idea what I would do without you girls! Congratulations class of 2012!

Perez, Amanda Well seniors we did it, we made it. I can’t believe we’ve graduated. This year has been great with everyone and it will be unforgettable, I especially don’t know where I would be without my wonderful boyfriend Jose, I love you, forever! These past 4 years have been great, I wish the class of 2012 good luck and that everyone follows their dreams. Congrats SENIORS 2012!

Perry, Veronica All I ask of the world is a chance. A chance to be loved and a chance to share my voice and music with the world. Music is what brings joy and life to my heart. One day I will share my music with the world and bring life to those whose hearts also run on music and be loved for who I am. With this mission I hope to make my father (Barron J. Perry 1956-2010), family, friends and myself proud.

Rosen, Carly On the first day of school I remember thinking “Wow, I’m a senior. I’m so old.” You’d think graduation would make me feel ancient, but as an uprising freshman I finally realize how young we all truly are. Although this chapter is over, we still have our whole lives ahead of us. Remember to live each day like its 12/20/12 and make every moment count! Congrats to the class of 2012!!

Sagsveen, Joe As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Your future is in your hands now and nobody can take that away from you. Do something extraordinary in the future so that all of the graduating class of Hills West, 2012, can reminisce about you when your name is in the spotlight. I’ll miss you all. LD <3

Sapodin, Savannah In this world we’re living in, life often gets rough. But don’t give up and don’t give in looking for a life you love.

Schneider, Julianna “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Congratulations to the Class of 2012!!

Sanchez, Carlixto It’s so upsetting that our time has come to an end, but it has been an amazing journey. As a 2012 senior I will never forget this class and all the memorable moments that came with it. Follow your dreams and chase what you want.

But most importantly, always remember to be a fruit-loop in a bowl of cheerios!

Sanders, Chrysandra “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” -Voltaire. I’m gonna miss you West. The great times seem to come and go so fast. I truly love this school. It’s great to make new friends and keep the old ones as well. To my teachers and friends, I love you. I’ll never forget you. I’ll always keep drawing, till death do me part.

Sipala, Julia “Lets do it all today and worry about it tomorrow.” love my seniors and my best friends JI SP LG MM NS Smith, Andre Love my senior class of 2012, it ends with us. Good luck everybody and oh I love Jamie W. Smith, Brittany “I don’t scratch my head unless it itches and I don’t dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That’s just the way it is.” -Coach Boone, Remember The Titans. Love you all & Good luck. Seniors 2012! Soshnick, Jacob If I could do these last four years all over again, there is no other class I would want to spend it with in any other school in the world. My time at Hills West has been great and I could not have asked for a better high school experience. Love my seniors 12’ Sporn, Bari “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” -Helen Keller I hope everyone lives life to the fullest and never has any regret.

Stanis, Kevin “Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.” Steinberg, Barry I want to leave one thing, a mindset. A mindset to never quit. High school, like the rest of life, will be a roller coaster of emotions and tough decisions. You will have classes you love and classes that make you feel sick when you enter them. Quitting is the easy way out; it’s the way cowards deal with things. Learn how to be a good person. Learn how to advance your own life,but above all never quit. Stratford, Kyle I wish for a world in which chickens can cross the road without being questioned about their motives, where suicide bombers realize they don’t need helmets, where the police actually come faster than the pizza guy, and where politicians are not like broken T.Vs (Make a lot of noise but don’t work). Good Luck class of 2012! Taylor, Johanna “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Squires, Stephen High school had its ups and downs, but overall the experience was a good one. The best part of high school was when I met one of my best friends, Wills. Racing to Sonic and doing other crazy things in school with Wills was awesome and I’ll never forget it. Senior year was by far my favoritie.. A favorite quote of mine.. “Our fears don’t stop death, they stop life.”

Tiongson, Michael Most of us have been going to HHH together. With this chapter in our life about to end, we can’t help but feel frightened that we don’t know what our future holds for us after high school, but ready or not we have to face it. “The unexpected can be terrifying, but I encourage each of you to embrace it because sometimes it’s the things you don’t anticipate that make the biggest impact.” Seniors 2012 Tolani, Prerna High School is a lot like toilet paper, you only miss it when its gone.Your families are extremely proud of you. You can’t imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money. Turcios Rafy Aka Rafy Tan. It’s been real & be on the lookout cause I will be on your TV screen one day! xo “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” - Coco Channel Valenti, Corrine “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who’ll decide where to go.”- Dr. Seuss SENIORS 2012 <3 Thanks for making high school so unforgettable

Vereen, Taylor These past four years have proven that time really does fly when you are having fun and that life is uncertain; always eat dessert first.

Wieder, Samantha A word to describe my years at Hills West without being cliché? Journey. High school was a journey... Wait, that is cliché. This is tough. That’s it! Tough! Everything about high school was tough. As I reflect back on the past 4 years, tough also describes what leaving Hills West will be like. Tough will be saying goodbye to the most amazing people I have known for the past 12 years of my life.

Zargarpur, Aman All men are not created equal! Some are born smarter, or more beautiful, or with parents of greater status. Some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That’s why there is war, violence and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is!

Wahabzadah, Ferzana “Why ‘Carpe Diem’ and not ‘Carpe Omnia’? Why seize the day when you can seize it all?” Weaving, Kyle To all my boys who put in the work constantly for soccer to be the team Gannon talks about; we were so close and we gave it our all I love you guys! Great times on track with Nana all those years miss it! Special shoutout to Nana Kweku Egyir! To all my friends we have had some great times and I hope they continue. Special shoutout to Ryan, Saransh, Guido and David! Seniors 2012! BLOAH! Weinreb, Alison The memories I’ve created these past four years are some of the most memorable. Wrangs-I love you guys so much. Win or lose, we’re always number one. To the class of 2012, thank you for such an amazing year. I will never forget the friendships I’ve made here at Hills West. The people here are incredible. Always remember that wherever you go, no matter the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

It’s been a lot of fun living out the past 4 years in a great school with helpful teachers and good friends. My classmates are some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and have brought a good name to our school. I’m proud to be their fellow classmate and wish everyone well in whatever follows next.

CREATING THE OSCARS

_Melissa Gaglione [12] “To decorate, we put gorgeous balloons as center pieces and black and silver star wall covering up to hide the icky bleachers! I loved the two 9-foot Oscars in front of our 12-foot Hollywood sign on a light up star! The red carpet underneath was strictly for seniors! My favorite part was the Step-and-Repeat that celebrities stand in front of before entering the Oscars to show their outfits! The background said ‘Hills West Seniors 2012’ and we actually made it ourselves! I must say, our senior class looked classy.”

_Dani Schatz [12] “Planning senior banquet was an unforgettable experience. The other officers and I spent all day setting up and decorating the whole gym. When I walked in that night and saw it finally finished I was amazed, it looked spectacular! The entrance with the shining star and the Oscar statues all came together so well! All of our hard work finally played off, and it was an amazing night that I will never forget.”

1. Morgan Hughes. “Having a great time with my classmates before the end of the year was a blast. Senior Banquet really brought everyone together, which helped me appreciate everything I have here at West,” reflected Hughes. 2. Adam Kindler, Martine McKinney. “Martine and I have known each other since sixth grade. Unfortunately, we separated a bit since then, but we became friends again as seniors. I love her and I’m really going to miss her next year,” said Kindler. 3. Elizabeth Giannone, Kimberly Komara, Kenna Koenigsberger, Timothy Carman, Shannon Beller. “Senior Banquet was a huge success!

So, off of her suggestion, I asked Ms. Palmada and she said that it would be a very good idea for banquet. I bought the flowers and dropped them off at school before everything started.

“So you want to be a kiss-up, I mean... parent impresser? You’ve come to the right place! The three things you need to do to live up to your parent impressing potential are: be asian, play guitar, and wear your father’s socks. It may be difficult (or impossible), but it will be worth it. Do these three things and you might even impress some grandparents!”

“Swag to me means you have a certain confidence and sexy ego. I have swag because when I walk into a room I bring about an attitude that makes people turn around and say “dang shawty.” Even in sweat pants, the attitude remains the same swagmentasious swag.”

“Some people may say that swag is the way a person dresses, but in my opinion swag isn’t only the way you dress, but the way you walk, talk, and present yourself to other people. I guess I have swag by just being myself and wearing clothes/sneakers that I like.”

“Being voted best body means a lot to me, the senior class recognized my rigorous workout habits. I would like to say my best asset is my abs. To maintain my figure I follow a strict diet and an intense training routine.”

“To maintain my physique, I go to the gym for two hours a day from Monday to Saturday. I also fence occasionally, so that helps too! My best asset? Although my peers think it’s my body, I just love my eyes.”

_Brittany Smith “Playing sports has been one of the most important parts of my high school years. I play volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse, but lacrosse is definitely my favorite. The most memorable experience I have had on a high school team was probably the “team bonding” project adventure days in volleyball because they really brought us together as a team.”

_Carli Rumstein “I hope to one day meet each of your parents with a tastefully arranged bouquet of freshly cut daisies in one hand and a tray of warm, homemade, chocolate chip cookies in the other. Hugs and Kisses to all of you and your wonderful families!”

“Through sports I have gained many friends and memories that I will carry for the rest of my life. My most memorable high school athletic experience, hands down, was the Suffolk County Soccer Championship in 10th grade. Here I am two years later, and I still think about that game constantly. I am going to miss all of my teammates, coaches, and friends from Soccer, Basketball, and Lacrosse. Thanks for the memories.”

_Angela Carone “I’ve had senioritis for about a year and half now. I’ve been absent around 45 times this year. I must say, I always do my work, but my absences make it hard for me to keep up. I hope you all remember, I was voted “Most Likely To Succeed” in 8th grade!! All of you voted for me!!! Jokes on you!”

I’ve accomplished things I never thought I could thanks to all of the students and faculty here at Hills West. My favorite part about getting involved is all the long lasting relationships I have had the chance to make and all of the people I have been able to help. I couldn’t have asked for a better high school experience.”

_Omri Silberstein “It’s kinda great winning worst senioritis considering I didn’t do much to actually earn it. According to Infinite Campus I’ve missed 315 periods so far during the year and have been tardy 42 times. And what makes me most guilty is me just not doing schoolwork because I don’t really care at all anymore.”

“I was very surprised to win this award because most people only think of track runners as skinny kids who like to run around in circles and who don’t have much brawn at all. If I could only have one of these traits, I would definitely choose “Brains” because you’re just born with intelligence.”

“I think I was voted this because I work hard at sports and school work. If I could have only one of these three attributes it would have to be brains. I think that having brains is the most important of the characteristics and will get you the furthest in life.”

_Sabeen Marghoob _Jon Lee “I personally think I arrived at this title from my city like style, to the labels I wear and how I rarely repeat an outfit. Also because I can switch my style from causal to classy with no problem. Thanks a lot to all who voted for me!”

“My favorite part of the day is dressing myself in the morning. As for my style, I tend to recreate certain characters and looks of my own, along with trying to incorporate current trends. And in the words of Rachel Zoe, ‘Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.’”

_Alexandra Puleo “You know, it’s a misconception by a lot of people that what I do comes easily to me. But, in reality, being an artist is a LOT of work! On average one piece can take me up to forty hours. I love the style of realism, and portraits are always my favorite to do because every person has unique features that make them who they are.”

_Rafael Turcios “I will definitley be on a reality TV show on MTV. On the show, I’ll get to show everyone my unique life. I was so glad to be voted for this, and I’d rather look absolutely crazy than absolutely boring!”

_Julien Desroches “I’ve been drawing since elementary school and this just shows that people are paying attention to what I do. My favorite style of art would probably be realism. My favorite mediums are ink and charcoal. Also my favorite subject matter is a tough choice between landscape and still life.”

I did not really expect to receive this award because most people think that I look more like a delinquent than a scholar. The key to my academic success would have to be not taking things too seriously; stress makes everything worse!”

CONGRATULATIONS SAMANTHA LUSTIG!

Class of 2012! Brendan,

One journey has ended and a new one will soon begin. Continued success in whatever path your journey takes you on. You always make us proud.

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Since the day you were born, you have been a constant shining star in our family. You have provided us with endless joy and pride everyday. We have been so blessed to raise a child who is kind and loving to all of the people you meet. You are compassionate and respectful. A wonderful example to your brother and sisters who look up to you and follow your lead. You have made us proud with every accomplishment you have achieved. We have loved watching you grow from our little boy to a fine young man.

We wish you all success and happiness in everything you do! Candlewood Middle School PTA

Love, Mom, Dad, Jessica and Puppy

You have had an amazing experience at High School West, and you have marked the pages of it’s history. As you continue your journey to college and beyond, here is some advice. Be proud of who you are every day. Always do what you are doing right now, lead by example. Take pride in everything you do. Work hard, as anything worth doing will take time but will surely be worth the effort. Always be true to yourself. Don’t ever compromise your character or your integrity as that is your true signature in this world. Find passion in what you do. Remember that everyday is a gift, don’t let it pass you by.

CMS

Candlewoon Middle School PTA

Congratulations Kim! Today you stand at a milestone in your life. Behind you are all the struggles and challenges you’ve conquered along the way. Before you lies a new horizon filled with thrilling possibilities. Today you choose the direction of your life. GO FOR IT! We are so proud of you. Love, Mom and Dad

Although you will soon follow a new path in life, we are certain that you are ready to face the challenges ahead. You have been given the wings and now you are ready to fly. Brendan, we couldn’t be prouder or more blessed to have a son and brother like you! With all the love in the world, Mom, Dad, Lexie, Riley and Mikayla Brendan Forte

Words could not describe how proud we are for you. Graduation Day is a day to mark a tremendous accomplishment. You could not have come to this day without a lot of hard work and sacrifice. There may have been days when you felt that you could not continue, and yet you did. You’ve grown to become a wonderful man, who is there for friends and family whenever he can. Your love and respect is something your mother, siblings and I will always treasure and never forget. With all our Love, Mom, Dad, Sabrina & Anthony

Carli, Guess my little sister isn’t so little anymore! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments in high school! No matter what challenges you undertake, your amazing compassion, kindness and beautiful smile will help you succeed. Welcome to Ithaca College, sis! I love you so very much, Perri

We remember years ago, you were so little then. Sometimes, We can’t help but wish, that you were small again. We’ve cried when you’ve faced heartaches, and saw, that as you grew, nothing broke your Spirit, instead it strengthened you. We’re filled with mixed emotions, as we hold back all the tears and, with much pride remember, back so many years. When we first held you in our arms, if only We’d have known, the years would feel like moments, after you had grown. You aren’t a child, though in our eyes, We guess you’ll always be, that baby girl who changed our lives, and means the world to us. Carly, Congratulations on your graduation. We are so proud of you. Love , Mom, Dad Dan, Allie, Kelsey Grandma Marion and Grandpa Jerry

Rosey, It would be impossible to describe all of the pride, respect and love that we have for you in one page, but we will try... You have been an incredible gift to our family from the moment you were born! You have filled our lives with Joy! We admire your passion, principles and beauty. Every day you seem to make the world a little brighter with your smile, your laugh and a unique ability to always put others ahead of yourself. Your kindness is remarkable and we know this is your path in life... We wish you a life of health and happiness. May all your dreams come true! We love you so much! Congratulations Carli and the class of 2012! Love...Rocket, Mom and Dad Carli Rumstein

Carli

Dear Ilana, This is such an exciting time in your life, as one chapter closes and a new one opens. We are very proud of your wonderful accomplishments and the very special person you are. We wish you a life filled with health, happiness and of course music in your heart. Good Luck and may all your dreams come true.

Congratulations Amanda Dear “Manda, Panda,” We are so proud of you! Your hard work and determination have paid off. You deserve only the best that life has to offer. Always remember you are a beautiful person inside and out. The future is yours; be whoever you want to be. Cherish and embrace the good experiences, and learn from the bad ones. Always stay POSITIVE and rise above the negative influences you will encounter. DREAM big, keep the FAITH, always have HOPE and LAUGH often. But most of all BELIEVE in yourself. “MY WISH” for you is... ‘that each road leads you where you want to go. And if you’re faced with a choice.... choose the one that means the most to you... if one door closes then another door opens... keep on walking till your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small... and while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you.’

Wills, “We’re not ready!!!” but most importantly you are ready. To say “Congratulations” just doesn’t seem to capture how proud we are of you and your accomplishments. We know that you are prepared for the journey that awaits. May your journey be filled with as much love, joy, pride and happiness that you have bestowed upon us. You are truly the BEST son in the whole universe! We Love You, Mom and Dad

We wish you all the Happiness and Success in college and beyond. All Our Love, Mom, Papa, Eric, and Sylvia Amanda Perez

Congrats Karishma! The time and dedication you have put in all these years... you deserve to STANDOUT! Congratulations and hats off as you graduate high school, making your parents, family, educators and community proud of your achievements. On your way and while at Cornell, remember a few things: Excellence is not a skill, it is an attitude. As a leader and one fine young lady, always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of someone else. May you continue to conquer all your dreams of health, wealth, and happiness and be a generational success. We love you and will always be there for you Kika.

Lights, Camera, Action… You have lit up our lives with your passion, enthusiasm, and your love of each and every day. We wish we could capture so many of the memories of the last four years, whether it be the homecoming floats, lights, the numerous shows, game nights, lights, the “Voice of Hills West” and of course yearbook, to name just a few. Continue to take the action necessary to follow your dreams, enjoy the moments, and achieve your goals. We are so proud of you. Stay true to yourself and the person you are, and there is no doubt you will succeed in ALL that you do.

Nine years ago, Mr. David Riccuiti became the Adviser of Trailbazer and the yearbook production. Under Mr. Riccuiti’s enduring guidance and support, each book has been a drastic improvement of the one before it. And now, [our] time is the final book to be produced under Mr. Riccuiti’s passionate direction.

Nine years of making kids laugh. Nine years of teaching staffs. Nine years of blazing the trail and creating stunning books. Thank you, Mr. Riccuiti, for all that you have done for us over the years.

SPECIAL THANKS TO: Mrs. Linda Lennon Mrs. Enza Napolitano Mrs. Patty Paratore Mrs. Lisa Norberg Mrs. Marilisa Milan Mrs. Felice Kristall Mr. Doug Gannon Mr. Matthew Maroney Mr. Roy DeJesus Barbizon Lighting Sigma Photo

To the Administration Thank you for your constant support in all that we do. We are so grateful for your assistance and understanding in the production of this book. To the Custodial Staff Sorry for the late nights, popcorn messes, and overflowing recycling bins. The fact that you (especially Jack) deal with us every weekday and many Saturdays is amazing, and we can not thank you enough for all of your support. To the Teachers Thanks for letting us take kids out of class for interviews, for administering our surveys, and for your understanding of frequent in-school field trips. Your support is greatly appreciated. To the Secretaries Thank you for being some of the biggest advocates of yearbook, from printing out student schedules to counting which club takes the most trips, we thank you for everything you do!

pril 27th, 2012 2:15 P.M. After an exhausting day of three tests and one presentation, I head into the yearbook room, realizing the huge deadline that lingers overhead. Here, I have come to trust my amazing staff, and I know they will get the job done—and they’ll do it in style. To the staff: Thank you for putting up with my madness and always coming through in the end when you were needed most. This book is yours, each of you created it, and you should all be extremely proud of what we have done over the past year. Thank you for guiding me on this thrilling journey, all while having fun and producing a truly beautiful book (and eating an unhealthy amount of Chipotle!) 3:00 P.M. I hear one of two things: “I don’t know Matt,” or “Matt, what do you need me to do?” Mrs. Keller and Ms. Reynolds, you have both done amazing jobs as first year assistant advisers, and I know that the book will be in good hands under your new leadership next year. As much as we have disagreed over the year, I can not thank either of you enough for keeping me in check and making sure everything was under control. Good luck to both of you next year! 3:45 P.M. I feel my phone vibrate; it’s an email from Mr. Steven Lerner, our Herff Jones representative. Mr. Lerner, thank you for giving me that pep talk in December. Without it and your constant support, I do not think this book would have ever been printed. Your patience with our “slight” lateness has been remarkable, and we love you for it! 4:18 P.M. Ms. Ievolo walks into the room, eager to check up on us before she heads back to the city. Ms. I, Casey and I always say it—you are easily the nicest person we know. Although you are no longer our assistant adviser, your daily design tips and ideas have contributed so much to this book, after all, not one person is looking off the page! 7:06 P.M. Just me and another brave sole are left in the yearbook room. What more could a guy ask for than a beautiful girl who supports him in all of his endeavors. For me, that girl has been Casey. Case, thanks for everything… like, honestly everything. You have acted as an assistant chief editor, doing whatever I asked in stressful times. Thank you so much for being my right hand (wo)man; thank you for answering my constant calls for positive reinforcement; thank you for coming in with me on Saturdays and staying up late to 3 A.M. on Sundays. The past year together with you has been so special, and I can’t even begin to imagine the void that would have been left in [our] time if you had never been involved. April 30th 11:44 P.M. Man, it’s late! As we leave the library, having just recently submitted the last pages of the book that is now in your hands, I look to the guy standing to my right. Mr. Riccuiti, I’ve said it all through the years, but now I mean it more than ever— you are one of my dearest friends. Thank you for being such an amazing mentor over the past four years, I feel that the transformation I have undergone into a young man is largely due to your guidance and support of my aspirations. I have savored every conversation from the new Macs and your terrible back, to the Moskowitz’s Shabbat dinners. Thank you for sitting me down when you felt I needed support, or giving me a laugh when it was needed most. Uncle Dave, your passion for helping others is something you should be extremely proud of, and I know that everyone who really gets to know you sees how much you care about your family, friends, students, and yearbook. Thank you for never giving up on me in your final year as Head Adviser, together, we went out with a bang! So go, work your magic on Newspaper next year and let’s push for a Rolling Stone Magazine stylized layout. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Never, never, never, never give up.” Carpe Diem! When I first became Editor-in-Chief earlier in the year, I never realized the impact it would have on me. This has been the most amazing experience I could have ever taken out of high school, and I will forever cherish all that I have learned in that quaint yearbook room nestled behind the librarian’s office. It’s been a wild ride—after all, it was our time. With eternal love for Yearbook 2012,

Matthew Jonah Rudin Editor-in-Chief
