It's about that time! GRADUATION. The moment every person anticipates the arrival of since

kindergarten! It has definitely been a long journey filled with laughs, tears, pain, and joy; long nights of due-

tomorrow projects and the struggle to succeed in all of your classes and maintain passing grades . As seniors,

graduation seems as if it can't come fast enough. We feel ourselves seeing the finish line, but still going through

obstacles to get to the end.

The term senioritis is exceptionally real. We have completed 12 long years of high school and all we

want to do is get our diplomas and hold them up high and say “I DID IT"! Throughout senior year we had to

apply to multiple colleges, take standardized tests to meet the requirements; with hopes of anticipating the

wait of their decision so we can decide what and where our next step will be. Slowly but surely, we began

hearing back from our various colleges and have finally decided where we will attend!

The final decision has been made!

Slowly but surely, we began hearing back from our various colleges and have finally decided where we

And that’s only to name a few. We all desire the passion to embark on a journey beyond high

school and see where life takes us!

Who’s Your Favorite Senior Teacher???

With over 57% of votes, Mr. Bryan

Wallace has been declared the

Class of 2012’s favorite senior

teacher. A typical day in Mr.

Wallace’s class is one where

there’s a balance of learning

and allowing students to blow off

steam from their previous classes.

Some of the most memorable

moments of teaching at AMHS to

Mr. Wallace are the days when

he can interact and joke around

with his students. When asked

how it felt to be almost every

senior’s favorite teacher he

replied, “ It feels good, that’s

what you teach for. We are not

each other’s friends but you learn

better when you like each other.”

Though Mr. Wallace’s first year of

teaching has been challenging

and busy with grades, parents,

students, and on top of that

being the soccer coach and

head athletic director, he has

enjoyed every minute of it.

Congratulations Mr. Wallace! The

RAMpage Staff salutes you!

each other’s friends but you learn

better when you like each other.”

The mountainous pile of ballots in the center showed Wallace

as the clear winner.

1. What is your favorite memory with the seniors this year? - Leonard and that annoying high pitch squeal that could peel the paint off of a wall in church. Talking with the students about heir future plans and always putting in a good word for Howard University. 2. What legacy do you think the seniors will leave on AMHS? - Their theme song should be "Copy Paste" by Diggy Simmons. I can hear that hook in my head right now! 3. Why do you think so many seniors are currently failing? - I don't think there is enough stigmas attached to being a low performer. I definitely think that seniors should absolutely NOT be allowed to retake ANYTHING in their second semester. I also think that the inability to deconstruct complex text is a hindrance to academic success. Deconstructing texts for meaning is a requisite skill for college success. 4. What advice do you have for the seniors as they go to college and also the rising seniors? - See items two and three.

What Do Some of Your Senior Teachers Have To Say About The Class of 2012?

A Bad Case of Senioritis by Raashida Howard Do you think you’re coming down with a case of senioritis?

Symptoms:

Do u have the urge to skip class, miss tests, ignore grammar rules, attend parties instead of athletic practice, and slack off at the end of your last year of high school? R u having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning? R u experiencing laziness, a lackadaisical attitude about homework and school projects, and generally? If you have 3 or more of theses symptoms then yes, you are coming down with senioritis!

Causes:

Boredom. High school seniors aren't often challenged in the second half of the senior school year.

Parental apathy. Parents are more lenient on senior because they are so use to student being independent workers.

Fear. Teens are looking forward to growing up and moving on but they will miss the familiarity of high school and their friends.

Excitement for graduation. When students see graduation around the corner they tend to focus more on the freedom after the ceremony and less on the work

Burnout. Senior high school students are busy people. They have to worry about tests, sports, friends, extra-curricular activities and part-time jobs preparing for college or technical school visits and applications, scholarship searches, senior projects and job or career searches. Without careful planning and attention paid to a teen’s stress levels, burnout is to be expected.

“I hope my

senioritis

doesn’t carry

over into

college” Michaela Johnson

Consequences: Having college acceptance withdrawn for those who don't finish with a strong academic record.

School discipline, detentions or suspensions.

Loss of credits that lead to not graduating or walking with your graduating class.

Loss of your standing in a varsity team sport.

Letters from the college asking why grades are plummeting.

Less financial aid or a reworking of your already established financial aid package.

Being placed on academic probation before you start college.

Treatment:

Once you are diagnosed with a case of senioritis, the only known treatment is a wonderful thing called graduation. However, there are ways to avoid senioritis: plan ahead, set goals, don’t obsess and stress out, have fun, and most importantly talk to someone. Talking to someone about your fear of leaving high school, stress about college admission, and anticipation of the new experiences college will bring you peace.

the year dissection.

Stanley Edwards

Stanley J. Edwards Jr. was born on

February 16, 1994 in Decatur, Georgia,

where he has lived for most of his life.

Upon graduating from high school, Stanley

will be attending Georgia Southern

University, where he will major in

psychology. Although he is unsure of what

he wants to do after graduating from

college, Stanley knows he wants to be

successful at whatever he does. “You only

live once” is a quote that Stanley lives by,

which is why his favorite memory of high

school was his epic 2012 spring break trip

to Panama Beach.

When he leaves from high school, he

will miss all of the restrictions that Arabia

has placed on us, and also his favorite

teacher Ms. L. Banks. To the rising seniors

he says “Senioritis is inevitable, but just try

not to be too affected by it.”

Fred Hartville

Frederick Hartville seems to have

boundless energy. The fun, intelligent,

and determined senior was born in

Atlanta on July 12, 1994. He has been

a gymnast for 8 years and has

qualified for regional and national

competitions. He feels very honored

and special to be chosen as a member

of the 12 in 12.

Fred plans to attend the

University of Illinois to major in

business administration. He hopes to

be an entrepreneur who owns a chain

of successful businesses or the CEO

of a well-known business.

His favorite teacher at Arabia

was Ms. Malcolm, but he will miss all

of his teachers when he graduates.

When he becomes a successful

business man, he will not forget the

teachers who helped him get there.

His advice for AMHS students is,

“Stay true to yourself” even if that

means walking on your hands.

Xenia Jackson

Xenia was born in Decatur

on May 28th, 1994. She was

the first generation to be born

in America. My family is from

Guyana.

She describes herself as

determined, focused, and

honest. She feels honored to

happy that people are

interested in knowing more

about her.

She plans to go to

University of West Georgia

and major in Criminal Justice

and minor in Philosophy. She

also hopes to join the National

Guard to help build her

future.

She has no favorite

teacher because all her

teachers are equally

wonderful. Her favorite

memory of high school is

becoming a senior. Her advice

for upcoming seniors is to

have a plan for college and

start applying to colleges and

scholarships early while still

staying on top of their studies.

Xenia believes that there

is nothing that she will miss

about high school because it's

a change that has to be made

to get to the next part of her

life.

“Never Regret. If it's good, It's wonderful. If it's bad it's experience.”

Taylor Lindsay

Taylor Lindsey was born in Georgia and now is

17 years old. She is the oldest of three sisters. Her

all-time favorite color is purple, and her favorite

hobby is cheering.

Taylor loves traveling to different places

whenever she finds a chance in her busy schedule.

Some of her favorite activities are talking on the

phone with friends or texting. Taylor describes

herself as open-minded, silly, and fun-loving.

Taylor says, “I feel appreciative to be

nominated to be a part of this issue of the

Rampage.”

Her future plans are to go to Georgia State

University to study biology. Later she then plans to

go to medical school to become a pediatrician. At

Arabia she will miss her various friends that touched

her life.

Her advice for upcoming seniors is “Stay

focused on what’s important to you and always

continue to prepare yourself for the next step in

your life. High school only lasts but so long but your

reputation is likely to follow you so make wise

choices.”

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow" -James Dean

“Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow" -James Dean

Jordan Mitchell

“Stay away from other boys women, that’s

one good way for a man to get it whooped

down here” is a quote that Jordan

continuously lives by. His girlfriend

Rebecca of six years, who is also the love

of his life, and his best friend, whom he

plans to marry upon graduating from

college, is proof that he has been true to it.

He is an 18 year boy who enjoys fishing,

hunting, mudding and other typical

“southern activities” his spare time. After

graduating from high school, Jordan will be

attending The University of West Georgia

where he will be majoring in Criminal

Justice, something he has always been

interested in. Jordan says he has had a

great high school experience, and that he

has made a lot of friends of whom he

wishes to stay connected with during

college. He says he will miss having them

all together at one place after high school,

and also his favorite

teacher, Mr. Wallace. For the rising

seniors, he tells them “Focus on

graduating and don't let senioritis kick in

the first day of your senior year like mine

did.” “I am just very appreciative

of what my parents have

done for me my whole life

and have gotten me on

the right path as I start my

life out of the house.”

Mialiisa Nurmi Mialiisa was born in Atlanta, Georgia

then moved to Wisconsin. She lived there

until she was seven and moved back to

Georgia. She describes herself as

ambitious, creative, and sympathetic.

Mialissa has been a dancer since she

was 8 years old. She has been dancing for

her church since 7th grade and was part of

their dance conservatory 2nd-9th grade.

When she graduates, she will miss all

the friends she’s made and some of the

teachers that have helped me the past three

years She will also miss watching Mrs.

Davis chase people down the hall telling

them to tuck in their shirts.

In the fall, she’s heading to Valdosta

State University to major in nursing and

probably minor in dance.

Her favorite memory of high school is

Homecoming 2011 hanging out with her

friends and just dancing made it fun.

Her advice for upcoming seniors is,

“You will have senioritis but that doesn’t

mean slack off in your classes. Also, if you

have Canney for AP Lit read all the books

and short stories and please do your quias

or you will suffer in his class.”

“I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I’m saying.” - Oscar Wilde

Pierce Thompson is an easy-going

guy who loves to laugh and have fun.

He avoids drama and describes himself

as caring, loving, and cool. Being

chosen as 12 in 12 makes him feel

appreciated and honored.

His favorite memory of high

school will be, "graduating from Arabia

Mountain College," because, he notes,

AMHS is not an ordinary high school.

His favorite teachers were Ms.

Whitfield, Ms. Chargois, Mr. Brown, and

Mr. Burr. He will miss his teachers and

high school friends when he finally

graduates.

He plans to attend the University

of Alabama to study pre-law, His advice

for AMHS students is to "just keep your

head on tight." Seniors "still have to do

work" and can't just coast like at other

high schools.

Finally, he says, "pass all of your

class and keep your GPA high." Pierce

believes in living live to the fullest and

enjoying life while you are here.

Pierce Thompson

Jamelia Willis

Jameila Willis was born in Atlanta Georgia

and has a little sister she loves dearly. Jamelia

describes herself as smart, confident, and

friendly.

One of Jamelia’s all-time favorite hobbies is

cheering. She has been cheering since the 3rd

grade. In 2008 and 2012 she won the most

spirited award. Other hobbies Jamelia enjoys are

reading, running, and shopping. Her favorite

colors are purple and pink. If you see Jamelia

outside of school, she will probably be wearing

something with Hello Kitty because that is her

favorite character.

When chosen as a member of 12 in ’12,

Jamelia shared,” I totally feel appreciated and

loved. I guess it’s just my personality; I’m just a

very spirited person.” After High School,

Jamelia plans to go to Bennet College, which is

one of the most prestigious HBCUs for women.

Her advice for upcoming seniors is, “Don't get

caught up in senioritis.”

Finally Jamelia leaves us with a quote:

“Always keep a smile on your face.” face.”

Kyle Woumn

“Success is the sum of small efforts,

repeated day in and day out,” and this is the

secret to Kyle Woumn’s success at AMHS.

Kyle is ambitious, amiable, and

confident. His favorite memory of high school

is the day he received an acceptance letter to

his number one college choice, Georgia Tech.

The acceptance letter was the culmination of

all the hard work and effort Kyle poured his

energy into during his high school years. With

his dream now realized, Woumn plans to

study computer engineering at Georgia Tech.

Kyle’s favorite teachers at AMHS are Dr.

Okoh, Ms. Malcom, Mr. Wallace. When he

graduates, he will miss his friends and all of

fun they shared these last few years. His least

favorite memory is people constantly

misspelling his name.

His advice to the class of 2013 is,

“Although you are a senior and it is your last

year of high school, finish strong and do not

let senioritis get to you,” especially if you

want to go to Georgia Tech like Kyle.

When filling out his interview form for

the RAMpage, Kyle left his bio blank because

he is too focused on the next chapter of his

life to dwell on the past.

Myles Young

Fun, friendly, and wise are the three words Myles Young

uses to describe himself. He was born December 18, 1993 in

Washington DC. Shortly after, he moved to Kingston, Jamaica

where he lived with his grandmother until the age of 7. In

2001, he moved to the Bronx, New York, where his mother

saved up money so they could have a life of their own, and in

2006 they moved here to Lithonia, Georgia.

After high school, Myles will be attending Georgia Southern

University where he will major in political science and minor

in journalism. Upon graduating from there, he plans to move

back to New York and attend Hofstra University for Law

School. While getting his law degree, he wants to open a car

garage where he will restore classic cars to sell or put in

shows.

“Keep the squares up out your circle”

Magnet Valedictorian Who said hard work and dedication wouldn’t pay off?

“Nathan Lindsey is a sweet person who is modest about his

intelligence,” said one of his fellow AP British literature classmates,

Teylar Bell. Even though Nathan is a modest person, he shines

extremely bright with all his achievement.

Nathan is not only class of 2012 Valedictorian, he also a Gates

Millennium Scholar. Nathan demonstrates his interest in agriculture by

being an active member of FFA. His favorite memory of high school is

attending the FFA national convention. He is happy to mention that

agriculture with Mr. Rogers was his favorite class. Nathan plans on

attending Cornell University to double major in international agriculture and biology. He also

wants to obtain a Master’s Degree and quite possibly a Ph.D. in a field related to agriculture. He

then plans on either doing research or field work with new types of vegetable and fruit crops.

“To receive the Bill Gates Millennium Scholarship I had to write countless essays,” he notes.

When asked how it feels to receive the Gates Millennium Scholarship he replied, “I feel very

honored and humble to receive this award. I am thankful to God, my parents and my teachers

for supporting me throughout my journey. I also want to thank my peers for motivating and

pushing me to my limits in order to achieve this award. I also want to thank my recommender,

Ms. Davis, and my nominator Mr. Rogers for helping me get the Bill Gates Millennium

Scholarship.”

Nathan’s advice to someone that hopes to follow in his footsteps are: “Work hard, Don't

give up, Find a favorite teacher to bond with and develop an addiction to coffee or sugar

because there are going to be some late nights.”

Magnet Salutatiorian Jamila Pegues has been excelling since she walked through the

doors of Arabia Mountain High school in 2009. Through her hard work and

diligence, she was selected to be the Salutatorian of the Magnet program

for the 2011-2012 school year.

Being the shy person that she is, Jamila didn’t really have much to

say, but as she reminisced on her years spent at Arabia Mountain High

School, revealed that she isn’t as shy as she seems. She has a partying side

because that her favorite memories of high school were building robots,

throwing parties, and having Pokémon matches with her TSA friends. She

enjoys her visual arts class the most out of all her classes. When asked who is her favorite teacher

is, she replied “It’s too difficult to pick! I have so many.”

Jamila is proud to announce that she is attending Princeton University and plans on

pursuing a career as an Astrophysicist working for a research company or firm.

Head of the Class by Shanakay Watson

Her advice to someone who hopes to one day fill in her

shoes is “Don't try to fill my shoes. Make your own pair, and then

strut in them.”

Resident Valedictorian Who said playing football and being involved in extra-

curricular activities can make you slack off in your academics?

Most people use their involvement in activities as an excuse for

failing or barely passing their classes. For most people this is

totally the opposite. Desmond Colley is a prime example who

proves that you can be involved in extra-curricular activities and

also strive academically.

Not only is Desmond a football player, he’s also an AP

student and he’s the class of 2012 Resident Valedictorian. Mr. Brown, who teaches economics, is

his favorite teacher and AP Calculus is his absolute favorite class. Taking absolute advantage of

his engineering pathway, he hopes to one day pursue a career as a software engineer and

hopes to work at Lockheed Martin. He plans to attend Cornell University in the fall to get a head

start.

When asked how it feels to be valedictorian he replied, “It’s not a big deal. I work hard not

to be rewarded with awards and medals, but to make money in the future and get full ride to

any college I want to go to. I work hard by studying, learning and working hard while others are

asleep.”

Desmond’s advice to someone who hopes to one day follow in his footsteps is to “Give

your best effort in whatever you do and the rest will take care of itself.”

Resident Salutatorian “Brandon Levester has been exceling academically ever

since elementary school,” say,

Laura Hill who was one of his classmates.

Brandon also proves that juggling extra-curricular activities

does not affect academic performances. Not only does he strive

academically, but he’s also a football player, and he shares with

Desmond a passion for technology.

Brandon mentioned that his engineering pathway is his favorite

class and loves to reminisce on the memories that the class leaves

behind. “Attending TSA conferences and robotics competitions during my junior year,” was one

of his favorite memories throughout his high school years.

With his involvement in TSA, it is no surprise that he wants to graduate from Georgia Tech

with a bachelor's in computer science and hopes to one day work for a major company, such as

Microsoft, Google, or Apple.

When asked “how do you feel about receiving this award?” he replied, “It is an honor to

be Salutatorian. Since I was young, my mother told me to become Valedictorian or Salutatorian

of my senior class and it was always a goal since then, for my goal to finally come to fruition is

amazing.” He also mentioned that he received this award because he studied whenever he

could and he always kept his grades up. He participated in organizations, such as TSA, that

reinforced what he learned in the classroom.

His advice to someone who wants to walk in his footsteps is to “set short-term and long-

term goals and reach them. Work hard now, so you can play hard later. Participate in many

different organizations, but only those that interest you. It will make your time more enjoyable

and you will learn more. Do not join a club just to add something to your resume. Don't let one

bad grade discourage you. Just work harder.”

Gates Millennium Scholar

Anastasia Carter is very smart, very intelligent and I wish her

all the luck in the future,” said one of her fellow class mates

Anna-Marie Jordan.

Anastasia’s hard work, consistency, and determination

took her farther than she ever could imagine. Her unique

creative writing technique made her a finalist for the Gates

Millennium Scholarship. Anastasia was filled with great zeal when

she notified that she was officially a Gates Millennium Scholar. “I

feel really lucky and ecstatic about earning this award. I'm

extremely excited to begin college knowing that I can go as far

as I want to, and I think it's pretty cool. To receive this award, I

wrote around 9 essays about my future goals, triumphs in my

school life, and facts about myself. I also was nominated and

recommended by my teachers,” said Anastasia.

Her future goals consist of earning her doctoral degree in Psychology by the age of 27,

opening her own practice, and marrying Prince Harry (she insists that it WILL happen). Even

though economics doesn’t have anything to do with what she wants to pursue in the future,

she made it clear that it is her favorite class and that Mr. Wallace is her favorite teacher.

Her favorite memory of high school is the pajama jam in tenth grade because she

likes the idea of dancing and having fun in her pajamas. Her advice to people that plan to

follow in her footsteps is “to stay focused on your grades and stay as positive about life as

possible.”

Looking Back on Class of 2011: Clayton Wells

by Takiria Tyson

Clayton Wells, a 2011 graduate of Arabia Mountain

High School, now attends Hampton University majoring in

Theater Performance. He explained that college was

exactly what he expected. He compared college to

summer camp and school put together with freedom

and responsibility. Clayton basically shared that college is

what you make it. We asked him some of your burning

questions about college.

Does AMHS prepare

students for college?

When it comes down to

Arabia the study habits they enforced worked very well. As far as

curriculum, Arabia did not really help so much in his college

experience. However, Clayton mentioned two teachers who were

very helpful for his college curriculum: Shawn Canney and Lindsay

Brown. Canney’s essays were very beneficial in college. He explained,

“If you did well on Canney’s essays then you would be fine in college.”

Clayton had to take Economics again in college, so also compares

Brown’s economics to Macro Economics at Hampton.

What about classes my first year?

Clayton went from majoring in business switching to theater

performance. His classes consisted of Critical thinking, Spanish, Engineering, Macro Economics, and

English 101. He did not participate in extracurricular activities or sports, although he performed in a

play.

How are the teachers?

Professors at Hampton are mostly foreign teachers. The professors are

straight forward and if you do what you are supposed to do, they have

no problem assisting you with help if needed. From a scale of 1-10, 10

being the best, Clayton rated Hampton’s professors as an 8.

What about my social life?

Social life in college again is what you make it. It’s about finding out who

you are as a person and developing your character and who you

interact with. As long as you are able to balance out who you hang out

with, the smart kids and the party kids, you will have fun.

Will I become homesick?

Clayton did not become home sick until the end of his first year in college.

At first he was not home sick at all. He kept in touch with his family on a

regular basis. For the most part, being away from home, out of state as

well, it was alright.

Any advice?

To Class of 2012:

“Be serious about your work, use your time wisely, and balance social time

and academics.

The triangle is real: sleep, social life, good grades: pick 2, lose one of them.

Stay down on school and try to have fun when you are not doing school

work. Networking through interacting is great!”

Social Life

Good

Grades

Enough Sleep

Senior year can be the most

exciting and best year ever,

but within a second, it can

turn into a stressful war. For

your senior year, you should

be on your “A” game. Come

to school in August on a

mission. HOW TO HANDLE

TEACHERS The most important

thing to do is to start off

strong. When you start off

strong and continue to get

good grades you won’t

have to worry so much at

the end of the school year.

Whenever you are struggling

on an assignment or in a

particular class, don’t be

scared to reach out for help.

Your teachers are here to

help you strive, but if you

don’t take the first step to

help yourself, they won’t

come chase after you or

baby you. Remember just

because you’re a senior and

have easy classes doesn’t

mean you can slack off or

not do anything because

your teachers will fail you

with smiles on their faces. If

you are making an effort in a

class and trying to reach

your “C” or “B” and you feel

like you’re about to give up,

just stay strong, If you keep

the effort up your teachers

will meet you halfway. APPLYING FOR COLLEGE

The summer before

your senior year you should

start applying for colleges,

scholarships, and studying for

the ACT and SAT. This is

important because during

the school year you’re trying

to study for numerous

classes, working on EIC,

participating in activities,

volunteering, or working.

Doing all of the work can

make you feel very

overwhelmed, this is one

advantage of studying threw

the summer. The SAT and

ACT are challenging tests.

The SAT is more about

strategies and problem

solving and for the ACT use

similar test taking strategies

but still apply much

knowledge. Remember

when studying you should

just focus on your weak

points the most but also

review your strong points.

Never give up and keep

pushing forward to try to

meet the scores and or

succeed. If you are having a

challenging time meeting

the scores try to go to

SAT/ACT workshops or get

outside tutors. If you still can’t

meet the scores, it’s ok. You

can always apply to a

technical college and

transfer to your dream

school. Keep in mind it’s not

how you get there but about

reaching your goal at the

end of the day. CHOOSING CLASSES

When you are

choosing your senior

schedule make sure you

choose your classes wisely.

Choose classes that will

benefit you at the end of the

day. For instance do not

choose all easy classes that

you know you will succeed in

just to boost your GPA up

because when colleges look

at your transcript, they will

not take in consideration of

all easy classes. Colleges are

looking for students who

challenge themselves with

AP classes and accelerated

classes. However, you should

not choose AP classes to

boost your GPA up unless

you know you will be able to

handle a large load and are

good in that subject. If you

don’t know how to do it, do

not take a chance of

choosing the class because

if you fail, you will not

graduate. The most

important thing about school

is paying attention and

putting your all into your

TIPS FOR UPCOMING SENIORS By Kirsten Winston

work. Make sure you work

before you party. PICKING A COLLEGE

Picking the right

college can be very

daunting. Filling out hope,

FASFA, keeping your GPA up,

writing essays, and asking for

recommendation are all

parts the process of getting

into college. The best thing

to do is to apply for FASFA

and HOPE early. The earlier

you apply, the

more money you will

receive. FASFA can be very

challenging to apply for on

your own, so you should get

your parents to help, go to

workshops, or if you know

anybody who is in college,

ask them to help you out.

Hope is much easier but

make sure you have an

adult to review over it so you

do not make any mistakes.

For some colleges essays are

very important, when writing

an essay make sure

you sell yourself, make

yourself look humble, while

mentioning all of your in

school and out of school

activities and volunteering

experience. In some cases

the essay is the last chance

to convince the college to

get to know you.

Recommendations are a

very important aspect for

getting into college. When

you are in the hallways using

foul language towards

teachers they will remember

that when it comes down to

a recommendation letter

and might not write you a

recommendation you will

like. Therefore you should

always treat your teachers

with respect, stay focus in

their class, do their work, and

you should be ok. SOCIAL LIFE

The best way to make

senior year fun is to enjoy it

with all of your friends. Make

sure you make plenty of

awesome memories that will

last you a lifetime. The most

important thing about senior

year is that it can be a lot of

drama only if you feed into

it. An important note about

friends is that they come and

go and at the end of the

school year, you will find out

who your real friends are.

Just because there’re your

friend now does not mean

that they’re the only friends

you will have. Many times

during the senior year

people want to be known

and leave their final mark

behind. Some people do this

the right way and some do

this the wrong way. The

wrong way to do this is by

trying to fit into a crowd you

don’t belong in, lying about

who you really are, feeding

into materialistic things,

acting immature, and

putting your business out in

the street. If you try to leave

your mark like this you will just

be known as a liar, freak,

instigator, and a person that

is really selfish. The right way

is being honest to who you

are, being there for your

friends whenever you can, if

your friend has a serious case

of senioritis you should

helping them stay focus so

they can pass, and being

able to put a smile on

someone face at the end of

the day. This can brighten

someone day that they will

never forget and therefore

your mark has been made.

Lastly, treat everyone the

way you want to be treated.

Your senior year can be fun

and full of activities if you act

mature, responsible, and

behave. If you treat your

teachers and administrators

badly they will not want to

sponsor you when it comes

down to senior activities. Be

respectful to your

administrators at all time

when they tell you to do

something just do it and do

not give any trouble.

Overall, treat your

senior year as a mock trial in

college, do your work on

time and study because in

college there is no second

chance, but remember to

have fun. Senior year only

comes around once. Don’t

slack, Make it count!

Remember to go to school

every day, and do not skip. Have fun and live life.

Things to know for Senior teachers

Graduation is a milestone that many students work hard to reach. Graduation is a special time for the

graduates because they will be moving to the next phase of life: college or a career. For the proud parents,

family, and friends, it’s the celebration of the graduates’ many accomplishments

So what should you give or ask for as a graduation gift?

Many graduates prefer money or gift cards so they can purchase anything they want, but some people give

gifts such as monogramed items with graduation symbols like hats and diplomas. Another popular gift is

paraphernalia of the school that the graduate will be attending, and, lastly, some like to give items that will be

needed for the college bound student such as sheets, clocks, computer bags, desk lamps, comforters, and

plastic bins for school supplies.

A unique event celebrated during the graduation season is the “trunk party,” which is usually

given by the parent or a special friend of the graduate. A trunk party is for the graduate who

is going off to college. The idea is for the graduate to have a trunk that guests will fill by

bringing all of the items the graduate may need for school such as school supplies,

mattress covers, calculators, staplers, clothes bins, microwaves, and other items to

furnish a dorm room. A trunk party can take on a personal note when guests also bring

the graduate items that will help them survive their first year like a picture frame with

pictures of the guest and the graduate, a bible when they need some spiritual comfort, a

stuffed animal, or a care package with the graduates’ favorite snacks.

Regardless of the gifts given during graduation, it’s a time for celebration.

If you can’t be the sun, be the star. But whatever you do, be the best of whatever you are!

Niya Falls is an athletic, easy-going, intelligent,

and outspoken leader. She has school spirit

and pride in Arabia and wants to raise morale

among the student body. She participates in

FBLA, Beta Club, recycling club, helped get

business and industry certifications, varsity

basketball co-captain. If you see Niya in the

halls, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself and

share your concerns.

She would like to empower her peers

because she feels like their voices are

not being heard. She lives as an example of what Arabia stands for, and she

wants students to love their school.

Other than boosting morale, she hopes to put hand dryers in the bathrooms to reduce paper

waste, eliminate plastic silverware and trays, and really make Arabia an environmentally

friendly school. She notes that the trophy case needs updating. “I want to maximize our

students’ potential” she adds, while mentioning she knows the curriculum is grueling. What’s

one thing that could make everyone happy? Field day.

If the other candidates pled their cases well enough, they would have won votes. Even

though popularity is a factor, no one is going to elect a dumb candidate no matter how

cool they are. “Hey, it’s politics,” she adds with a laugh.

“I just want to say that I hope I can win over any doubters during my term and make Arabia

a happier place.” That’s Niya Falls, your 2012-2013 SGA president.

Undefeated Season in a Difficult Sport by Takiria Tyson

Arabia Mountain’s boy’s golf team has had an amazing

season this year. To start off, the team went undefeated with 11-0,

which was the team’s goal. Coach Joyner must have done an

awesome job coaching the team with assistance from Coach Burke,

who happens to be professional.

Some of the team members have been engaged in golf since

they were younger. Three members, Darius Davis, Ashton Sullivan,

and Miles Bizzle, all sophomores, looked back on their season before

heading to regionals. To stay on track most of the members join

academies over the summer. Other ways they stay fit for golf is by

playing other recreational sports such as basketball and other

activities.

When the members join clubs, it comes with many benefits,

Darius Davis explained. More support for the golf team is wanted

from the team members because lots of people are not familiar with

Arabia having a golf team. The team mostly looked forward to the

regionals. Take one game at a time and do the best they can do is

how the team looks at matches.

As individuals the team stays to themselves and does the best

they can do, but as a team they are all cool with each other. When

it comes to competition the team might be disappointed for a

moment but they continue to move along with their heads up high.

Darius stated “more support” will help the team. Ashton explained “If

you’re really dedicated with a sport stay with it and have fun with it.”

Last but not least, confidently, Miles said, ““Hard work beats talents

when talent doesn’t work hard.”

If you guys see any golf members in the halls, be sure to

congratulate them on their great success on the course!

Logan, left, brought the Day of Silence to AMHS. He was supported by his friends, Le’Anna Smith, Maya Norman, and Ashley Fordyce.

On Friday, April 20, several

AMHS teachers and students

observed GLSEN’s Day of Silence.

GLSEN is the Gay, Lesbian, and

Straight Education Network. The

organization created the Day of

Silence to draw attention to the

silence that is often created by the

bullying of teenagers in school.

2012 marked the organization’s 17th

annual Day of Silence.

Sophomore Caleb Logan is

responsible for getting the AMHS

community involved in the Day of

Silence. He explains, “I really

wanted to do something at school

to bring awareness to LGBT issues

and the tolerance issues that go

along with it.” He went to Ms.

Hruska, and they found a few

events. They decided to

participate in the Day of Silence

because “it was clever, easy to do,

and it had cool materials,” says

Logan.

Ms. Hruska says she was happy to help out because “I have a lot of friends in the LGBT

community from high school and college and I saw how bullying affected them. I wanted

to raise awareness as an ally of the community.”

Logan was not the only student who was inspired to act on April 20. Christopher Booker

joined the protest because he was sick of hearing about and seeing the bullying students go

Day of Silence

through. “ I feel the bullying has to stop,” he explains. “It’s unkind and it hurts, so I don’t

agree with it, and I’m tired of it. I want everyone to get along and get past this barrier that

has been placed in society.”

Another sophomore, Le’Anna Smith, adds, “I participated in day of silence because

many friends of mine as well as myself have been bullied or afraid of society. So I see this as

an opportunity to not only stand up for my friends but myself to everyone who thought we

shouldn't or those who hate anyone who's different than them. It was a great experience

and I felt very accomplished.”

Mrs. Klein helped Ms. Hruska and Logan put up posters and hand out stickers. She feels

the event was a success because she ran out of stickers before the end of first period. “I had

students coming up to me all day asking for stickers,” she recounts, “and some of them were

not students I knew or had ever taught. That means students were spreading the words and

showing their support.”

While Klein and Hruska could not remain silent and still teach, they supported the

movement in their classes by teaching about the event and talking about it. Mrs. Klein

encouraged students who could not remain totally silent to silence all negativity and really

think about their words before speaking.

Logan agrees that the day was a

success, “I think it was a success as a result

of the power of word of mouth! I am so

glad many people joined us because it is

so important for everyone to have

tolerance not just toward the LGBT

community but to all people. Too many

people have lost their lives to bullying,

and I believe we highlighted that.”

Logan, Hruska, and Klein hope to

build off the success of the Day of Silence to

promote more tolerance building events at

AMHS. Watch out for a new tolerance club at

AMHS next year. Logan says he “can’t wait for next

year to say “shhh!” to the negativity.”

Why I Love Summer Reading by Trisha Klein

As an English teacher, every school year starts with a discussion of summer

reading.

“Turn in your summer reading projects. You will have a test on

Wednesday.”

“WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO SUMMER READING?”

“WHAT IS THE POINT?”

“I REFUSE TO DO SUMMER READING. IT IS JUST A PUNISHMENT.”

“WORST IDEA EVER.”

“WASTE OF TIME.”

I hate hearing my students complain about summer reading, but I

truly believe it is important part of high school.

Many students think that Arabia Mountain is the only high school

that has summer reading. That’s simply not true. In fact, when I was in high

school, I had summer reading every year. And I hated it! Like you, I

wanted to spend my summer sleeping in, hanging out with my friends, and

going on vacation. Summer reading was a chore that I hated more than

cleaning my bathroom.

But I did it. I read every single book I was assigned.

Some of them were terrible. However, some of the books I

read over the summer remain my favorites to this day. I still

remember reading The Grapes of Wrath by Jonathan

Steinbeck on a plane to Tucson the summer before my

junior year. When I arrived, I talked to my grandfather

about the book and found out it was one of his favorites.

Even now, I think that novel has one of the most powerful

endings in American literature, and, nearly ten years after

my grandfather’s death, the book reminds me of how important he was in

my life.

Other summer reading books that I loved include The Scarlet Letter,

a novel that made me care about women’s rights, The Old Man and the

Sea, a novel that puzzled me but I still reread once a year, A Tale of Two

Cities, a novel that brought lessons from history class to life, and Fahrenheit

451, a book that makes me proud to love reading. All of those books are

on this year’s summer reading list.

White Teeth, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Light in August are books on this year’s list that are

some of my favorites although I did not read them for summer reading assignments.

Advice from

the class of

2012

Some of the

books were

really

interesting, so

actually read

them.

The actual book

is usually more

entertaining

than just

reading

SparkNotes.

Don’t spend a

ton of money

on the newest

editions. Go to

the library early

or try a used

book store or

website like

abebooks.com

Do not

plagiarize your

projects.

Teachers know,

and you do not

want to start the

year with a zero.

This year’s assignments are a little different from years past. The English Department decided to

offer students choices. Each grade has a required nonfiction book and then a few fiction options.

Magnet students must read two fiction novels, and pathway students must chose one. (Note: 12th

grade AP Literature students have three books they must read.)When you look at your assignments,

research the books before making your picks. Do not just choose the shortest book. One of my least

favorite summer reading books that still makes me cringe, Ethan Frome, has about 100 pages. Ugh.

Go to amazon.com and read the descriptions of the books and customer reviews. Select a book that

actually interests you.

Additionally, this year you will not be required to write an essay over the summer. Instead, you

will keep a notebook with quotes from the book, chapter summaries, and notes on characters and

theme. Be sure to read the detailed handout available on the school’s website. Click on the

“Summer Activities” tab at the bottom of the left menu, and select “Summer Assignments.”

Finally, I’d like to issue a challenge to every AMHS student. Instead of thinking of summer

reading as a chore, think of it as an adventure. Try to pick the book or books that you think you will

truly enjoy, and approach your reading with a sense of curiosity. Loving reading is not about

understanding everything and knowing all the answers on the first read. To love reading is to love the

mystery, the ambiguity, the challenge, and the possibility that each new line of text brings.

P.S. The English Department is working to make your summer reading experience more

enjoyable. Join the Edmodo groups listed below to discuss your reading and assignments with your

peers. If you have any questions, ask your English teacher, and you are always welcome to email me

with any questions.
