The underclassmen will undoubtedly notice a few changes in the halls of Medford High in the coming weeks. The first floor of C-building will be notably absent and Cafeteria 1 will be shutting its doors for the last time this year. The chants of “SENIORS, SENIORS, SENIORS” will no longer ring through the halls. The Junior Class will gain a sense of importance and they will suddenly find that the best parking spots are now opened for them. The number of impromptu parking lot water balloon fights too will drop dramatically. In short, there will be a notable absence of coolness, style, and all things awesome.
Why all the sad changes you might ask? Well our notable Senior Class of 2010 is peeling the onion and moving on to a new layer. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon these admirable young men and women are emerging from Medford High into a new world.
But be careful, young butterflies, for the world outside your cocoon is a cruel and scary one! You are a fragile creature and you must be wary while you discover what is out there. This new world is not all risk and fear however, it is full of potential. Seniors, you can change the world if you put your mind to it; flap your wings and create a tsunami (Hopefully a good tsunami that will cancel out the other bad tsunamis).
With this said I leave the Seniors some advice for their adult future from none other than the great Dr. Seuss. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” You’re off to great places, Seniors, good luck!
