We have accomplished so much in these past four years; it is therefore strange to contemplate leaving. Together we have triumphed the challenges of a variety of standardized tests, AP exams, our fair share of finals, and college applications. Together we have grooved at the First Chance Dance, cheered at football games, won many rallies over the past four years, sweat at DJ Pizza Lunch, and soon we will walk at Commencement. I know for me, this is still completely and utterly surreal. I remember our freshman orientation, when we were nervous about what AP classes or electives we would take in the following years. I remember praying thanks after our beautiful campus was spared by the Colby fire sophomore year. I remember the excitement over putting on my junior ring for the very first time. Most importantly, I remember my Regent sisters being there every step of the way. Fast forward to the past few months, and we were biting our nails over which colleges would accept us, and then over deciding where to spend the next four years. by Remy Hogan To my fellow seniors, As the final chapter of our Storybook school year draws to a close, I cannot help reminiscing about the last four years of our high school experience. Since the beginning of our time at St. Lucy’s, I have realized that, “Life is full of steps. Each step you take means that more scenery gets left behind. But when you reach your destination you get to look back to cheer the loudest at our rallies, because we were focused on the test we had afterward. But most important, we could name everyone in our class, and the bond we had been forging for two years was becoming even stronger. Which brings us to senior year and the final month of our high school careers. For four years we have been doggedly working towards our goal of successfully completing high school and moving on to college. But now that we have nearly made it, we can look back on our past four years together as a memorable time of growth and accomplishment. During every step of this high school journey we have worked together as more than just a class, we were sisters. The further we advanced at St. Lucy’s, the closer we got to our goals and to the moment we would officially graduate. Everything these past four years has led up to the moment in the amphitheatre when we are all dressed in white, singing the Alma Mater and tossing up our caps. Looking back now, I cherish every one of my classmates and the many memories we have made. You all represent the light, truth, and peace in my world. I am so blessed to have been part of this fairytale with all of you, and I look forward to watching you all grow and accomplish even more. Stay red hot! Remy With love, Gabriella Rubert Senior Class President’s farewell message Remyniscence: One chapter closes, another one opens on everything you ever wanted to see along the way.” Starting out as freshmen, we had no idea what was in store for us. We were unaware of all the classes to be taken, the friendships to be made, or the activities to get involved in. But somehow, together, we transitioned into sophomore year with a better idea of who we were both as individuals and as a class. We chose classes that mattered to us, we widened our circle of friends, and we fought our hardest during rallies. The college talks inevitably started, and junior year reminded us why we chose to attend St. Lucy’s. We laughed out of understanding and weariness, while losing the energy Now, it is the time for celebrations, excitement, and unfortunately, goodbyes. Whether we are ready or not, it is time to say goodbye to uniforms, teachers, the morning music, lunch in the amphitheater, school-wide Mass, rallies, and each other. It is time for us to move on to college, full of new challenges and traditions. As difficult as it is for me to believe and accept that these four years are finally coming to a close, I am beyond excited for all of us to go forward and form lasting memories. I hold only thoughts of certitude about the success that the future holds for all of us Regents. We have truly grown and transformed into strong and empowered women who will accomplish anything we set our minds to and work towards in the future. So, as I bid you all farewell, remember that we will always carry the light, truth, and peace of St. Lucy’s wherever we go. I know I will always look back at the time I shared with all of you at St. Lucy’s with a smile, and I wish you all the best of luck in future endeavors. How Hot? Red Hot! It was August 2012, the beginning of our long journey as sisters. A new exciting chapter to us, it seems like such a long time ago. We put on our new skirts and polos, brushed our hair and walked up the steps to the main foyer to meet our new sisters. We never believed we would feel the sisterhood like the upperclassmen said. We doubted. But we were proven wrong. We started from the bottom as the Peeps of Candyland and now we are here as the Pirates of Neverland about to encounter the next adventure in life Now, May 2016, as we walk the halls for the last time we have come to the sudden realization that our time here at St. Lucy’s has come to an end. It’s time to say goodbye to the sisterhood, the comradery and the love of this community. We’re taking the next step in life on our own and away from our sisters but remember this: the sisterhood is bigger than the walls of St. Lucy’s. My beautiful sisters, it has been an honor to walk these halls with you, to climb those stairs, to have survived high school with you and to have shared many experiences that will forever be in our hearts. I am so very proud of the Senior Class of 2016. As we close this chapter in our lives and prepare for the next one, remember this: Life all comes down to a few moments, this is one of them. Do wonders. Let’s show the world what we’re made of. Farewell, Daisy Mora 2 Features April 29, 2016 Faculty farewell to the Senior Class of 2016 Dearest Seniors; Farewell to the Class of 2016 Most of us go through life pretending that we don’t have goals when deep down inside we really do want more, we have these grand dreams. Yet, we have trapped ourselves with words to sleep-walking through our lives, using them to find ways to avoid those dreams, those things that we want to do, those places we would like to go, and we just stop at “but.” “But” will cause you to hide in fear, cause you create excuses to validate your inaction, to not act on your dreams. “But” is a dream-killer. And most people, you know what they do? Most people are just safely tiptoeing to an early grave. We’ve all been holding back, we have these ideas that we don’t act on, we’re afraid to take chances. So don’t allow “but” to keep you in the corner. Many people around you will say, “But I tried once,” or “twice,” “and it didn’t work out,” and so that is their excuse not to ever try again. Profoundly wrong. For us, when things don’t work out, even when we experience failure, that does not make us a failure. Always remember that there’s a huge difference between failing and being a failure. If things don’t work out, if you don’t produce the results you want, that’s all, but never confuse who you are with the results that you produce. So my best advice is for you to do what you can, where you are, with what you have, and never be satisfied. Don’t get satisfied with yourself. Always know that wherever you are, you can enjoy more, that you deserve more, and that you are able to put in the work to get it. As you’re working on your dreams, there are going be times when you’re going to want to give up, there will be times when life will knock you down, but the challenge is to hold on. And if you hold on tenaciously, I guarantee the universe will be on your side. Now if you don’t act on your dreams, if you don’t decide make the decision to live your life, if you don’t decide to tackle your fears, if you don’t decide to say yes to your life, it will never work for you. You’ve got to live what’s in life, and say yes to your dreams. Yet, some will say “But there will always be tomorrow.“ Oh, no. There’s no guarantee that you’re going show up tomorrow. Life is too short to wait for tomorrow. So if you want to do something, if you’ve thought about something you want to do, take it head-on, be courageous. Life will never be the same. Live your dream. Farewell to you all as we embark on new dreams, Mr. Kays It is an honor to bid the class of 2016 a warmhearted farewell. I hope that you fondly look back on your time at St. Lucy’s as one of the best journeys of your life. Remember to cherish the innumerable memories from your classes, school activities, sports and friendships that you created over your four years as a Regent. You are a class of intelligent, caring, compassionate, creative and motivated young women. Live up to your potential. Continue to serve others and pray. God will be with you every step. I will always remember how welcoming you were to me, as my first sophomore religion classes at St. Lucy’s and you have a special place in my heart. You will always be welcome home to St. Lucy’s Blessings, Mrs. Morin Seniors, The time has gone by so quickly and soon you will be taking a new path in your lives. I am grateful that I have gotten to know you and I am confident that you are prepared for the next steps that you take. As you embrace all that is ahead of you, remember that we are all here cheering for you and sending love and prayers. Mrs. Gonzalez Favorite Memories of the class of 2016 Seniors, The reason I teach underclassmen is so I can see the awesome, beautiful, independent upperclassmen you become. As freshmen and sophomores, you are unsure and inexperienced. In just two short years, you have matured into amazing young adults. I hope that you continue to grow, mature, and learn. Enjoy life, but always remember where you came from and those that love you. -Mrs. Watkins My favorite memory of the class of 2016 is probably your interest in the electoral process and your desire to know how it works. You all shared your opinions freely and with great enthusiasm. That, and the fact that you thought Geoff, our IT person’s, name was Gee Off (which was quite hysterical), made this year a great one! -Ms. Littleton I am going to miss the spirit and bond that this senior class has. Every time the class got together as a whole it was obvious how bonded and spirited they were. A particular memory would be at the end of rally’s how they would get together in a circle and yell a chant. -Ms. Pentolino My favorite memory is when Hanna sings Oceans and everyone joins in -- the joy and love overwhelms the room! -Ms. Herrera To the Class of 2016, I will remember with a grateful heart sharing Kairos 77 and 78 with your class. It is my hope that Kairos will also be a fond memory for you. Keep God as your friend and don’t forget to “Live the Fourth.” -Mrs. Haeflinger I (along with Ms. Rossi) have had the pleasure of working with a group of seniors who put together a special video tribute to the incoming freshman class. It is so inspirational to hear the messages from the seniors and their reflections of their years at St. Lucy’s. It is a quick snapshot of how the seniors nostaligically view their time in their school, with their teachers, friends, and themselves. It is a reminder why St. Lucy’s is such a special place. -Mrs. Sinclair Features April 29, 2016 Did you know... Chloe Arambel has dual citizenship with France?

Red hot! To our Regent sisters, Let us begin by saying we wouldn't trade all of the memories we have made with you these past four years for anything in the world. We have experienced several things together, as a class of strong, confident women. Your unique personalities have impacted each of us in ways that have allowed us to grow. All of us have grown together, developing different talents, skills, and interests and really do encourage each other to embrace who we are. We enjoyed having you as teammates that push us to our limits, cheerleaders in accomplishments of all sorts, intellectuals who keep us open minded, humorists who make us smile when we need it most, and sisters who make St. Lucy’s not just a school on a hill, but our home away from home. Having the opportunity to document all of the great things that go on around campus has been just one of the highlights writing for the Laureate this past year. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience all of the talents that you each contribute to our school. Thank you, Class of 2016, for four years filled with inspiration, passion, and love. We wish you the best of luck in college and beyond. To the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, we hope you all continue empowering and supporting each other throughout the entirety of your time here. Thank you again, for all the memories! You all have beautiful souls and we can't wait for them to be revealed to the world. Carpe diem always, you have the power to make today extraordinary. All of our Love, Seniors of The Laureate
