No more running to lunch to get in the front of the line, no more sitting in the gym in the mornings if you’re not e a t i n g breakfast, no more pep rallies and no more bells! Don’t you get depressed when you think about it? I sure do. After June 4, everything changes, just like some of us already have. Are you proud of the person you have become? Have you ever thought of how much you’ve changed since freshman year? Now that I’m about to graduate, I keep thinking about the past and all the memories I have made, and how everyone of my fellow seniors has changed, including myself. It’s crazy how different we have all become. People weren’t kidding when they said, “High school changes people.” We’re about to graduate into the world; imagine how much we’re going to change then. High school has been no picnic. It’s had its rough times, but then again it’s had it’s amazing ones. I’m not going to lie, I’m really excited to get out of here. Yet, editor-in-chief at the same time, I’m a little nervous. Some of these people that we have been going to school with since kindergarten are ones that we are probably never going to see again. That’s pretty scary to me. I hope that the friendships that have been made during school last for many years to come. We have all made unbelieveable memories that I seriously hope no one forgets. Memories last a lifetime. Whether it’s prom, parties or just random nights going out with your friends, those are the times that made us into the people that we are. I hope we don’t forget a single thing about high school, because after all, it was a major part of our lives for the last four years. As we go out into this big, crazy world, I really hope we all make something out of ourselves. Hopefully in five years from now, a lot of us will have degrees and be working our way to a successful career. Many of the seniors are planning on heading to college to study certain fields. Hopefully, the hard work and ability to succeed that they have had throughout our years together at school continues with these people. I wish everyone the best of luck with all endeavors and a successful life after high school. Even if you’re miles apart from friends, stay in touch. Congratulations, Class of 2010! We finally made it! No Matter Where I Go... Memories Will Come Along megan harms staff writer What is your favorite memory this year? In my four years of high school I can definitely say there have been some fun times. As a senior the hardest part this year is figuring out what the next step in life is going to be. Friends are stressing about applying for colleges, joining the army, taking tests, and some are lazy bums. Graduating is a crossroad in one’s life. Some people know what they want while others are clueless. We meet different people and our old relationships might not be as close as they used to. But be open minded about life; don’t try and change in one moment. Life may feel like it is “going a mile a minute,” but it’s not. Life is a slow, arduous journey. So, as much as you think this is the last milestone you will pass, there will be many obstacles to overcome. My senior year has helped me realize this is just the baby steps in life. Growing up through high school has taught all of us seniors life lessons. Some were lessons that we won’t need to know for our entire lives, but for some reason, we still had to learn them. The seniors have been taught one thing: change is good. Our freshman year, the principal then, William Cottrill, attempted to inspire Hampshire students to “Be the Change.” He really inspired the staff to change the high school upside down. The class of 2010 has been through three different principals, each changing things around the educational environment. From getting grades for a pointless class known as advisory to nine-period days, changes have made our four years the roughest there will ever be. We’ve learned that if your fingerprint doesn’t work at lunch, you don’t get any. If you lose ten points in advisory and can’t go to reward day, you know you can just skip. Some of us have learned that the Italian Exchange is a way to get out of school for three weeks. You have to “hold it” until you get home, because half of the bathrooms are locked. No matter how distracting the new flat screen televisions are, our stomachs are still not full. Hampshire teaches us to hunt for our information. If you can find a counselor, they can help you. However, if you don’t go looking for them, then you’re going to have no idea about important information or upcoming events. Good luck getting your transcripts or rankings before graduation! The one thing that hasn’t changed at Hampshire are the students graduating this year. We have been through a lot, but we have stayed strong all the way through. We didn’t let the changes and the rough times get us down. We moved on and enjoyed what we could. WE made the best out of high school. WE made the memories and the stories that will be remembered for a lifetime. WE are the generation that is taking the step from the greatest years of our lives and making them better. These past four years were spent on our toes, ready for anything the world had to throw at us. WE were prepared because it’s what WE do.

In the movies senior year is portrayed as a carefree year to slack off and do whatever you want. Everything goes your way when you’re a senior. But is it that way in real life? Not really. Senior year was a huge transition year for me. I went from being a carefree teenager to a young adult. There is so much stress that goes along with it all. A lot of people don’t realize how expensive being a senior really is, paying for things from senior pictures to caps and gowns to senior week vacations. Add in the tons of paperwork that go with applying to colleges and scholarships, and it makes for a pretty stressful year. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely some good times and memories that come with senior year. The friends you make, parties you go to and clubs you are involved in. I’ll miss the pep rallies, friends, Friday night football games and even certain classes. Sometimes I think about the last four years and it makes me never want to leave. Then there are the memories that make me want to fastforward to graduation day, grab my diploma and run. I think I am speaking for many seniors when I say this. We will miss our carefree high school days, but we’re ready to move on to bigger and better things. deborah rich staff writer Senior year can be really stressful. With college application deadlines, the ACT’s and Financial Aid deadlines, some seniors just want to pull their hair out in frustration. It’s an emotional and physical overload. All the seniors have to focus on is school work and getting all those applications in. My advice? Make sure you’re organized, have all your work done on time and you should be fine. I have learned so much my senior year. You have to come to school all the time and when you don’t, you must get missing work. You will regret it if you don’t. There’s also the concern that your college might drop your admission for bad grades during second semester. We seniors have to accept that we’re growing up and our lives are about to change. Soon we’ll be making decisions on our own and deciding what’s best for us. Parents will be making fewer decisions for us and paying for less and less. After we graduate and have our summer break, most of us will be looking for a job to support us or help pay for college expenses. So, all you underclassmen, let’s hope you take some advice from the upperclassmen. Don’t let senioritis get to you and don’t end up ruining your good grades and plans for the future. Be Respectful No Matter Who You Are shaun hagerthey staff writer The minority of goths, punks and emos of Hampshire High School are a different breed of people. However, the staff and other people of Hampshire County all seem like they have a bone to pick with them. We mainly keep to ourselves. We have nothing against everyone else, but we always end up taking the hate and blame. Just because we listen to something that appeases us, it doesn’t make it bad to listen to. Even though some of us are growing up and graduating from Hampshire, we will forever be ourselves. You can either live with it and be friends, or you can move on. Almost an adult, and then what? Seriously think about it; all school students look forward to becoming 18. Why? Is it just the feelings you get when you are now considered to be an adult and mature, own your own credit card, buy cigarettes or vote? There are a ton of things you can do. I used to say all the time, “I can’t wait to turn 18.” I would then get told by every older person, “no you don’t.” I’m starting to see that I don’t want this to end. It will come soon enough where I’ll be out on my own. I just want to live in the moment and enjoy life. It only happens once, and I want to make it good. It’s my last year of school and I want to make it everything it’s worth, no regrets because once it’s over, there is no more. It’s sad to think that spending five days out of the week with and seeing some people the majority of several years is coming to an end as each day passes. Some of us may keep in contact and still see each other, but there are others we may never see. So why rush our lives away so all of us can pay bills and have a lot more responsibility thrown at us? I certainly don’t want to have all of that on my hands. I am enjoying living with my parents. They do a lot for me, such as: pay my bills, cook me dinner, buy me things. It’s pretty easy living if you think about it. My parents are a big help to me. I don’t know what I would do without them, and if they’re willing to help me out for as long as possible, I’ll let them. I have my whole life ahead of me to buy my own house and get married. I am not going to rush through anything. I love being young and wild! French’s Mill ...serving your home gardens with feed, salt products and pet food Tuesday-Saturday 8-4 p.m. P. O. Box 101 Augusta, WV 26704 304-496-7411 June 2010 Nsenior issue the Trojaneer Mr. Costello Leaves a Note From Mrs. Canan to the Seniors Graduating Class of 2010: As we prepare for your graduation day, I am in hopes that you find yourself reflecting upon the big picture. To do this, it is important for you to not only reflect upon that which you have accomplished, but to also “think forward” to those things in life yet to come. June 4th begins the next chapter in your life. The foundation has been laid through your interactions with school, family, faith and friends. For some of you, June 4th will be the last time you maintain a true connection with your school and many of your friends. Others of you will continue those connections by choosing to remain in Hamp- shire County. Personally, I never thought at your age that I would find myself living in Hampshire County, raising my family, and eventually serving as the principal of the school from which I once graduated. This decision was perhaps among the greatest choices I have made in life. For without my choice to return to where my foundation was grounded, I would not have had the distinct pleasure of serving you this year. My first year as the principal of this school, ironically, is the last year of your journey in the public school system. While this moment does bring about a great sense of accomplishment and pride, it does come with a certain amount of sadness. Try to recall the first time you sat together as a class in the auditorium on the first day of your freshman year. On June 4th, you complete the circle, sitting together one last time at Hampshire High School as the graduating class of 2010. No matter where your travels will take you, you will each always be connected. Take it all in, Class of 2010. You will not be forgotten. Your Principal, Candy K. Canan I am sure that all of you probably have the number of days counted until your Graduation Day…I am equally sure that you are filled with much emotion and many mixed feelings…proud of your accomplishment, plans for your future, your “Senior Summer,” friends and classmates that you will not see on a daily basis anymore and perhaps some apprehension, but the predominate feeling is probably that of...FREEDOM. When you graduate from high school and turn 18 years of age, you have that exhilarating feeling of freedom...you probably have that sense that now no one can tell you what to do, neither the school nor your parents. Enjoy that feeling, but don’t be fooled by the illusion…it is not really freedom; we have simply passed the baton of responsibility on to you. You are now the one in charge of your life. I would like you to envision your life as a journey in which you are traveling down a path in some type of vehicle. Make sure you take control of that vehicle; it is YOUR life, no one else’s. Don’t just jump in and go for the night. You don’t know how many dogs they ride, this allows life to just happen have inside!! #6: Laugh at yourself and the to you instead of you controlling dumb mistakes you make. Things generally your own destiny. It is too do get better tomorrow. #7: If you are asked important a job to put your fate in to do something and are not really sure if it is the hands of someone else. Yes, the right thing to do, DON’T DO IT!! Trust there will be bumps in that road, your gut instinct. It is usually right. #8: detours and many other unexpected When you go to a job interview, wear nice turns, but it is your job to take the clothes. DO NOT wear your oldest, most knowledge and experience you comfortable jeans and t-shirt. You probably have and constructively navigate won’t get the job. #9: Save a little bit of your around these unexpected events. As paycheck each week. Put it into a savings account and forget about it. Especially if you you begin this journey, try to have a live with your parents, save as much as you destination in mind or at least a can. A friend of mine was able to save enough direction. This does not mean that money for the down payment on her first you cannot change your destination house by the time she was 25 years old. #10: or take a few side trips along the Enjoy every single day!! I know everyone way, but it is usually more gives you this advice, but it is so true. Try productive if you continue in the not to worry too much. 95% of the things that same general direction. people worry about never even happen. My hope for each and every one Lastly, I would like to give a big thanks to of you is happiness, good health and my two senior work study students, Mason good fortune. Young and Aaron Kidwell. Guys, I have Happiness is something that enjoyed getting to know both of you a little comes from within; it is not better and wish you the best of luck. I would something that we get from also like to let my son, Elijah, know that I have someone else. Many times in my truly enjoyed having him at HHS this year. career, I have overheard students Seniors, best of luck to you all!! I think you say “I hope I meet someone who will Tips to seniors from Mrs. Lipps Congratulations, Class of 2010!!! You did it!!! First I would like to quote from Proverbs a bit of last minute wisdom: “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for he is more profitable than silver.” Get all the knowledge you can from your life experiences and those around you and try to apply it to your lives. I would like to share ten things with you that I didn't know at your age, but wish I had, and now know: #1: Listen to the advice that your mother and father give you; believe it or not, they do know something (more than even you know with all your vast knowledge). #2: Do not wash your dark clothes with your whites (you will be surprised when you open the washer if you do!!!) #3: Think before you speak. Every thought in your head does not need to come out of your mouth. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you heed this advice. #4: If you have the chance, take a year off and go see a part of the country you’ve never seen. My sister toured Europe for six weeks and loved every minute of it. #5: Do not sit on porches of strangers in the middle of the are a great bunch of kids! Patty Lipps 4 make me happy.” Please don’t use this statement as it is one of life’s greatest pitfalls. Your happiness is too big a job to put into the hands of someone else. If you allow someone else to “make you happy,” you have given the control of your emotions to another person. Like the strings on a puppet, this means that if you allow this, you have given someone the power to make you happy, sad, angry, depressed, etc. Do not give this much power to anyone. It is best if you develop yourself and find your own happiness and then as you mature, share this with a significant other. Most of you learned in science and health classes that we each received 23 chromosomes from each of our biological parents and that determines our genetic health assets and problems. Those are pretty well cast in stone and can’t really be changed. Some can be managed. There are other variables like alcohol, tobacco and drugs which greatly affect our health, our productivity and our ability to maintain a positive healthy relationship and family. These substances may seem enticing and like a solution to problems, but in reality, they are not solutions but actually cause a host of other problems. In essence, enjoy the good health you were born with, stay away from harmful substances, exercise daily and be a healthy contributing member of society. Exercise your brain as well, read and study daily. Make it a point to learn one new thing each day. Good fortune is difficult to measure; it generally refers to our finances, but good fortune can come in many forms. It can be a good relationship, enjoying the place you live or a good job with enough financial income to be self supportive and take care of your family. There is an old saying, “Find a job that you enjoy and you will never work a day in your life.” In short, my farewell advice to you is to take your new “freedom/ responsibility” and be yourself, like yourself and know what you want for yourself. Pursue these goals and your confidence will grow with each achievement you accomplish. It is actually by reaching the goals that we set for ourselves that we achieve true happiness. Along with that inner happiness and satisfaction, we generally have good health and good fortune. It is my hope that each of you will read this 25 years from now and have a deeper understanding of its meaning.
