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.

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

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

about her.
She plans to go to
University of West Georgia

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.

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!”

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.
