The Talon | 3 Reflections on the Year Tanner Davenport & Annabel Thorpe 4 | Feature T HE TIME HAS COME to throw caps up in air and open the page to a new beginning for the 2013-14 graduating class. This year is coming to an end and seniors are starting to realize that their new chapter is fast approaching. With emotions running high, and excitement even higher, the graduating student’s have taken a few glimpses back at this year and previous years of high school at memories that will last them a lifetime. The 2013-14 school year stands out thanks to its graduating class, and it’s up in air as to what the key part of their legacy will be. In December the football team made what could arguably be called the senior class’s crowning achievement by taking home the 3A state title at AT&T Stadium. The MVP’s Ian Sadler and Colton Hinnrichs and the rest of the extremely talented guys got the opportunity to finish off their high school football career on the ultimate venue and take home the gold, but it was also an incredible experience for the fans in the stands, who had anticipated an Argyle state victory for years. “It was a really great experience and being able to say Argyle has the best football team in the state is pretty amazing,” senior Reed Davis said. The large number of seniors that will graduate this year with a state ring exemplifies the tremendous effort the championship required. “It united us all because we have played together since second grade with our dads coaching peewee football,” senior Jon Brittenum said. “Then we went to middle school where we finally get to play on the big field, then playing in high school with Friday night lights. The state championship will always be a part of our memories.” It seems as though the entire Argyle community will remember the class for their victory. “It’s our legacy,” senior Kendall McLeod said. “That’s what people will remember most about our year. We had so many other achievements but that was our defining moment.” Cont. on page 13 Connor Wilson (11) and Hunter Treadwell (8) run out of the tunnel at Argyle HS Stadium with their teammates before taking on Nolan The Catholic on | 5 Talon Sep. 6.

This year’s group of eleven (pictured right) includes Allison Gant, Benjamin Irons, Catherine Read, Darby Richhart, Jack Graham, Kelsey Peiser, Kimberly Strelke, Matthew Goodpaster, Matthew Hayden, Ross Coker, and Monica Canizares. These model students have overcome each of their own challenges of juggling school, extracurriculars, and personal ventures all the while maintaining astronomical grades. They represent some of the most studious and driven members of the senior class and definitely deserve every ounce of honor that they receive.

Seniors Danielle Baker, Cody Stewart, and Jacob Tudor have managed to do it along with Austin Anderson, Connor Arnold, Jesus Barraza, Jacob Cox, Blake Dewoody, Breanna Dewoody, Francisco “Paco” Fernandez Ramos, Cheyanne Gantz.

Cementing the senior class’s golden legacy, in May the track team had multiple seniors place first at state in Austin, including 4x400m relay first place winners Taylor Mueller, Brooke Robertson, Laine Lowry, junior Cassi Hargroves, and 110m hurdle champion Reese Thompson. At the regional meet, Argyle took first for accounting, computer applications, mathematics, number sense, and science and took second in computer science, current issues, literary critique, and spelling, making them first overall at the meet and advancing seventeen students to state in Austin once again. One Act Play also placed third at region and the computer science team advanced to state as the wild card team. UIL Academics even served a purpose to students outside intellectual achievement by Senior color guard captain Allison Gant performs the band’s 2013 show, ”Apotheosis” at the Argyle vs Dallas Madison “Think Pink” football game.

We don’t have to be worried about people judging us.” Cont. on page 20 Colton Wilkes drives into the paint and attempts a layup against Celina on Feb. 4, 2014 in Celina, TX.

Perhaps at no other point in the year did this reality hit harder than at prom. “We all came to the realization that this is the last big hoorah before graduation,” Brittenum said. “As you walk across the stage and through those doors at graduation, the realization that you may never see these people again kind of hits. We are all starting to go our separate ways.” The inevitable parting of ways is what often sets the tone for the senior year. “It’s nostalgic and sad but at the same time it’s inspiring because you have the opportunity to know this is your last chance,” McLeod said. “You express how you feel about people more. You don’t miss out on the chance to share your feelings.” The emotional roller coaster of high school is coming to an end for the seniors. It’s a time for cheers and tears, nostalgia and new beginnings. “I kind of feel like I have been living in a bubble and I finally get to reach out and pop it to see the rest of the world,” senior Kirsten Couch said. High school has been an important piece in every student’s life that has graced the halls of Argyle. It has been a place for many students to grow and mature while becoming the people they are today. From freshman to senior year has been a great journey that has bonded the senior year together. They have all gained memories that will stay with them forever and even though saying goodbye is hard, it will carry students to the next part of their life. “This isn’t the end,” Miller said. “It’s the beginning.” SENIORS 2K14 20 | Feature The Talon | 21 Senior Look-A-Likes Michael Kolember Michael Phelps Lindsey Lotze Christina Applegate Victoria Filoso Lorde Maggie DiVecchia Lucy Hale Photos taken and edited by Evan Welsh and Sydney Austin.
