I, Alex Stewart, being of overanalytical mind and athletic body, do hereby bequeath mean streaks to Hannah Wilson for volleyball next year. If things aren’t getting done, it’s okay to yell and be a little mean to get things accomplished.

Trust me, they will forgive you. To Regan and Stephi with an ‘I,’ have fun and try to win a state championship next year. To Kayla and Meredith, stop skipping class to go down to the guidance office. Spanish was fun this year especially the random waves across the room. I love you guys and be sure to keep saying hey to my best friend next year for me, Meredith. To Taylor Moore, this year was interesting for sure, but it’s getting better. I am going to miss the beach trips from last summer, and of course your devil-child of a sister. I expect some visits at UNC-A from you, and whomever you wish to bring.

To all of the volleyball girls, be proud of succeeding in something you enjoy, even though you will be talked about and hated by others.

They are just jealous. Keep up the fourth period talks, they are pretty amazing. Try not to roll too many houses next year! Now to the basketball girls. Sieara, just a quick thought, you suck! But in reality you don’t at all. Be happy you have Robbie as a coach; I would have killed for him for more than just one year. Nikki, my hot chocolate, I love you dearly. Try and get to school on time next year, well on second thought don’t because it’s your senior year. Torrie, I am going to miss you yelling “TOILET GIRL” to me even though you never gave me an actual swirly. To both you and Meredith, stop taking so many pictures on everyone’s camera. To the basketball team, enjoy every minute of it. It goes by way too fast to not enjoy it. Tell Darrell to calm it down on the running after a North Buncombe type game. But beg Robbie to wear his pink shirt next year; I know you all think it’s sexy. Robbie: Please wear your pink shirt to graduation! And I do expect some baby-sitting rights to mister Cooper over the summer if he ever learns to control his bodily functions. To the baseball boys, keep the ridiculous impression of you all fanning and feeding grapes to the volleyball girls going. To Brett, quit letting Dillon give you dip, you don’t need it. Keep hiding your texts, I will find out sometime who this secret girl is. I hope the girls are good to you throughout high school. To Dillon, think about what you say before you say it.

Have fun in football and baseball next year (you better play) because you will miss it terribly if you don’t.

I expect many trips from you to come visit me next year also. Since I did teach you how to bake a cake, you are more than welcome to bring one to me. Maybe next year you will stop being stalked as you walk up from your truck. To Mrs. Auten, hopefully you will find a student assistant next year that is almost as good as me. Thanks for everything you have done for me in my high school career. To Coach Bliss, stop picking on people.

I, Alexis Antonucci, being of over-analyzing mind and petite body, do hereby bequeath my useless procrastination to future students. These four years here have flown by. I wish that you get the few truly amazing teachers.

Teachers, may you let people text during school while no productive work is being done. Also, let school be enjoyable and fun. Something all should know: everyone is different. High school only happens once; make wise decisions. Hang in there. It goes by fast.

I, Amie Cloer, being of creative mind and petite body, do hereby bequeath the tennis chat to Rachel Lund. To the rest of the Lady Falcon tennis team, I leave the long and excruciating bus rides and memories. To Mrs. Cooper I leave green pants and two new

students to occupy the make out- I mean make up room. Finally, to all students: remember that all things are possible through Christ.

I, Amy Cook, being of determined mind and hardworking body, do hereby bequeath my leadership/bossiness skills to Brittany Gulick.

I, Andrew Ramos, being of unique mind and able body, do hereby bequeath these final words to every one in this school…do your best in finding your true happiness…and for the one I love most in this world…to her…I hope you find yours as well. Live a happy life.

I, April Creamer, being of quiet and caring mind and klutzy body, do hereby bequeath my success in life, the help of my teachers and the support of my friends. I leave my younger ‘siblings’ the high standards that you should meet with teachers I have previously had. To the students out there still left in school, stick with it. Life may get you down, but it will get better, trust me. I went through it. Just learn to accept help from your teachers and friends from the start. It will make life easier. Oh…and stay away from waterfalls if your clumsy.

I, Arnie Laughter, being of obscured mind and tantalizing body, do hereby bequeath all of the work in yearbook class to the two remaining men on staff, Kevin and Donny. The long nights of doing who knows what in the ManCave to Ryker, Kyle and Jake. To Sam, I leave a teddy bear to express our “best” friendship throughout high school. And how could I forget a library full of sexual novels for the other junior girls that harassed me throughout the year. And all my love to Mrs. Squires and all the other teachers that had the privilege of enjoying me in their class at some point in my four, long years here.

I, Ashley Singleton, being of a logical mind and gentle body, do hereby bequeath to Cameron Singleton, my brother, my teacher’s pet position. I only hope Mrs. Gaddy, Mr. Ezell and Mrs. Squires love you half as much as they did me. To Lauren Norris, my cousin, I leave my love and passion for dancing! Mrs. Dolbee will treat you good; she’s an amazing teacher. To Mrs. Gaddy, I leave my sense of humor to get you through all of your fourth period classes.

Also, to Mrs. Squires, I leave my patience; you’re going to need it.

Last but not least, to Mr. Ezell, I leave all of our fun times and our secret handshake. I’m still going to come visit you when you’re 100 years old! Now, to the only underclassman I ever truly liked, Dayne Davis, I leave our twin sister styles and amazing friendship for you to share with everyone else. You have a great future ahead of you girl.

I, Austen Melton, being of unique mind and awesome body, do hereby bequeath my swimming skills to everyone on the swim team. To my friends I leave all my awesome memories. To my sister I leave a 2-liter of Mountain Dew. To my teachers, go easier on cell phones. To the swim team, keep the awesome times at State.

I, Autumn Raby, being of creative mind and sound body, do hereby bequeath to all underclassmen this advice: Don’t switch schools your last year of high school. But if you do, like I did, be sure to keep an open mind in making new friends. Great people can be found everywhere. Live your life and have fun! Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad; it’s what you do in-between that really counts the most.

I, Bethany Humberg, being of joyful mind and Hawaiian body, do hereby bequeath sunshine, flowers and everything cheerful to Kristina Anderson; giant hugs to Audrey Huff, Graham Pate and Donny Turner; and my salsa moves to

I also leave you Elon, please come next year, you’ll have a place to stay.

I, Joy “Joyful” Owens, being of “green” mind and clumsy body, do hereby bequeath, firstly, the newspaper to the very capable Brandi and Katie. I know it is in great hands girls. I leave the backroom to upperclassmen journalism kids, explore its mysteries while you can. To my BFFE Conor Kennedy I leave a promise to see you around the block neighbor. To Kristina Anderson I leave a hug for every morning of the rest of your high school career and one final “You go girl.” To Kayla Martin I leave this final shout-out and one final “party in 690!” To Torrie Minick I leave your right side on the bench (though I know you won’t find a replacement as cool as me) and the task of creating many more cheers without me. Of course, I can’t forget, I also leave you “shellfish water” said in a very funny British accent. To the rest of the soccer team, I love you all so much and thank you for making my seinor season the best yet. To Coach Gerard, Mrs. Hooker, Mrs. Z, Coach Searcy, Señora Beckett and Señor Jarrin, thank you so much for being amazing teachers. To Mrs. G I leave a huge debt for always putting up with me. I owe you more thanks than I can give. And finally to my little sister Jeri I leave you a little common sense (please, please use it) and this advice from dad: don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff. It’s been real, it’s been fun, it’s been real fun.

Peace.

I, Lindsey Fore, being of Dane Cook mind and bangin body, do hereby bequeath my coffee runs and shopping trips to Carly.

To Katie I leave all the Mexican food and laughs in the world. ...nothing...! To Hoon Lee I leave you all the Snickers bars I ate that were yours. To all my other friends I leave all the fun times we have had and the good memories that were made. To certain volleyball girls, I leave you the ability to get over yourselves. Not everyone is jealous of you. To Coach Gaddy I leave you all our inappropiate conversations that brightened your day. To Mr. Hale and Mr. Short I leave you my horrible math skills that will hopefully improve a little in college. I leave my alphabetizing skills and all the marquee letters that made my life miserable to Ms. Elliot. Maybe next year you will have a student assistant who enjoys doing that more than me.

To the rest of the students still here at West, just remember that your work will pay off and you will eventually get out of here, but make the best of it while you can.
