-Briana Rogers
To my sister Erin, I leave you my stress from AP
Physics :) and my responsibilities as SADD vice
president.
-Love, Your Big Sissy <3
To Frau Frederick, stop yelling at Deutsch 5 so

To J.J. Krystopa, I leave my video editing skills as
well as my sacrifice of not having a life because of
it. I wish you luck.
To all my math and science teachers I give you the
work I never showed on my homework, quizzes,
and tests.
-Jacob Peifer
To all my friends I leave the good times, the times
we laughed, the times we ran down the halls to get
to lunch, and all the times we raced Mr. Helzer,
the numerous times we played Uno in Study Hall,
and for all the younger students I leave the hope
that they can have as much fun as I have experienced these past four years.
-Britni Jackson <3
I leave all my experiences and devotion to my
younger sister, Abby. She’s going to need it for
the challenges to come.
-Madison Chirinos
I remember Mondays at lunch during sophomore
year. Our entire lunch side of the cafeteria would
stare at Rob McNerney until he took a bite of his
food. Everytime he did, we would all yell,
―Oooo!‖. After a while, the other side would echo
I leave my amazing grades to James Holowko, my
our yells so the whole cafeteria was yelling at Rob

To Darian, all the good memories and all of the bad
ones make up what we are. Counting the stars on the
clearest night or getting upset over the stupid fight.
Everything is worth it. You’re my everything. Forever and always.
I remember when I used to say ―I can’t wait to be
a senior and get out of here‖. Now I wish I wasn’t
leaving everyone I love and wishing I could do it
over again.
I will always remember Mr. Boone and all of the
new friends I made my senior year. The bonds we
chefs formed will never be forgotten. And I’ll always remember the look on Blase’s face when we
tossed him in the air at Mr. Boone practice. Priceless.
-Dalton Voerman
To all future Shakespeare classes, I’d like to leave
all the amazing memories and laughs I shared with
my ninth period class during my junior year.

To Dom M. I leave the position of captain and also
the pleasure of being the cutest on the team, stay

―swag king‖. With great power comes great responsibility! To Kelly B., I leave my heart…oh
wait you have that. <3
-Chris Coasram
I would like to bequeath the power of doodling in
class (it helps you pay attention, unlike when you
text), and the power of indifference (it doesn’t matter what other people think or say, just ignore
them).
-Sara Ellis
I leave my brownie and cookie recipes to Mr.
Lugar and Mrs. Dippilito, so they can always have
something to look forward to and always have

how I miss January.
-Michael O’Mara
It was a normal, cheery morning in Mrs. S.

strolled in, and was suddenly tripped by the accursed Ed Kim-her papers flying everywhere.
To Zach Haines,
I leave my awesome lunch table in the corner next
to the window. Make sure you don’t eat the
chicken patties!
-Josh Housel
To Eric Mannering, I apologize for karate chopping
every fruit you had at lunch.
I remember during junior year, in Miss Jones fourth
period history class, a bunch of students would create different objects before she came in like a pyramid, bicycle, and many others.
-Rian Waldbrann
―Years from now, I won’t remember every freaky
night or the things that made us laugh so hard until
our stomachs hurt, but I will remember that they

want you to do the best of your ability to be successful. Keep your chin up because your sister will
always be at your side.

Class of 2012
Dear Classmates,
Where has the time gone? Thirteen years after
starting kindergarten, high school graduation is here
already. Friendships have been made and broken, tests
have been passed and failed, and classes have come
and gone. Now, our final ―assignment‖—graduation—
is almost due.
Our years at Daniel Boone Area High School
have been, at times, challenging and demanding.
Whether preparing for that critical math final or perfecting that difficult athletic play, we have all had our
share of high school challenges. These challenges
helped shape us into who we are today and contributed
to making us stronger and more resilient learners.
While
high school presented many
challenges, it
also presented
many fun and
rewarding opportunities that
developed into
experiences that
we will remember forever.
Maybe your favorite memory is setting a new school
record or marching in a local parade; maybe your favorite memory is chatting with friends in the student
union or spending the day with your friends on the
class trip. We each have our own favorite memories of
our time at DBHS. While high school may only last
four years, the memories we have made will last eternally.
We have faced challenges and we have
achieved great things. Now it is time to move on. On
behalf of the class officers, I would like to wish you
success and good fortune in life beyond high school.
DBHS has given us the tools we need to succeed; now
it is our chance to use those tools to shape our lives,
our communities, and our world.
Until we meet again, thank you for the memories!
Connor Kurtz, Class Treasurer
Class of 2012
By the Numbers
We have had 2,340 school days
…Which, at nearly 7 hours per school day, is
over 950,000 minutes!
…Which is more than 270,750,000 minutes for
the Class.
…Which is over 515 years of school, nonstop,
24/7.
We have had to roll out of bed and
come to school on more than 400 Mondays.
The Class of 2012 has been served
nearly half a million meals since first grade.
…and that doesn’t include breakfast.
If you were paid minimum wage for
every hour spent in school you would have over
$100,000.
The bell has rung over 7,920 times during our high school career.
We have had over 6,400 class periods in
our high school career.
Thinking Ahead...
Please ―like‖ the class Facebook page
at www.facebook.com/DBHS2012. It is our
hope that this page will be a resource for information about classmates and upcoming events.
Finally, we would like to thank you for
allowing us to serve you during our high school
years.
