A

 

I, Jack Adamek being of argumentative mind and semi-functional body, do hereby bequeath the following items:

To Douglas Ritcher, I leave our lord and master, Bob Chilcott, His first desciple, Shane Lynch, and dou dou.

C

 

I, Camille Cummings being of sound mind and active body, do hereby bequeath the following items. As a student who is graduating early, I have much to leave to the junior class I was once apart of.
To Kara Simmons, I leave the song, “We are Young” and our lucky spandex. To Sam Imeson, I leave my 5th grade romance and our daily hugs. To Isabelle Burden, I leave Starbucks, because you’re basic but I love you. To Hannah Purcell, I leave ski lifts, photo booth and the longest friendship I’ve shared with someone that I know will continue. To Kamari Cruz I leave Chipotle and the letter z. To Isaiah Hartzler, Coach B and Devin Medley I leave BATS. To Ana Hunter-Nickles I leave Maryland Avenue and a friendship I will always cherish. To Graham Rebhun I leave all of the pictures we took on the first day of school at Keister. To Jordan Dove, I leave you all of my gas and elementary recess.
To my babies in school, I leave the song Ride and chicken fries to Sophia Hartman, to Faith Runnells, I leave bus rides, cuddling and your mother’s phone number. To Olivia Yutzy, I leave bad jokes I adore and llamas. And to Parker Strickland I leave everything I do and everything I have done because we are twins.
And finally, my four best friends. To Sara Shenk, since you are staying close, I leave post secret, May 3rd, pomegranate juice, automatic lights, and soccer. I have never looked up to someone more than I have to you and you will always be like a big sister to me. To Grant Kiser, I leave frozen grapes, sting pong, Hillindale Park, and my bike. You have never left my side and I can’t thank you enough for everything and all the good times we have shared. To Tori Armentrout, I leave quarters, my closet, blueberry doughnuts from 711, whole milk, Taco Bell, and Pat. We lived the same life this year together, more as sisters than friends, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing, no matter how embarrassing it is. And to Nicole Downey, I leave the bachelor, Crystal Light, Monday Nights, hospitals and my pinky because I have never trusted and shared more secrets with anyone else. To you four, I leave everything else because I love you guys more than life itself and I don’t have a clue how I would have survived high school without each of you.
Graduating early was one of the best decisions I have ever made but words can’t describe how much I will miss the people I spent the past 17 years of my life with. I am lucky to have met such great people that make saying goodbye so hard.

I, Celia Anne Ehrenpreis, being of artistic mind and runner body do hereby bequeath the following items:
To my future XC seniors, (Brenna, Laurie, Nicole, Morgan, and Hannah) I leave you the Lady Navy Cross Country team. I leave you hot summer runs, workouts at the Farm (Remember, flagpoles will only make you stronger), crammed car rides to Purcell for progression runs, our kick-butt prerace cheer, trading shoelaces, cold bus rides to Liberty, our hilarious would-you-rather run, and much much more.
To my 4×8 relay ladies (Brenna, Laurie, Nicole, and ?) I leave the best event in track there ever was/will be. I leave Indoor states, (and soon to be Outdoor states!!) I leave our flawless post-race domination photo-ops, our high socks, our braided hair, and our speedy times. Thanks for making my last two season of track great, our 4×8 will always have a place in my heart. (Please don’t judge me for this cheesiness, it’s true ok??)
To my future Editors-in-Chief, (Mia Karr and Brenna Cowardin) I leave you the Newsstreak. (Duh, who else would get it/deserve it?) I leave you long nights hunched over computers, frustration over never-turned in stories, picking up the papers, newspaper-stained hands after Distribution Day, and journalism conferences. To Brenna in particular I leave my computer, the back corner is now yours and Mia’s. And to Mia I leave APUSH rants, cold hands, and laughing hysterically over nothing when we’re on deadline.
To Isabelle Burden, my co-mayor of Dorkville, I leave, embarrassing childhood memories, our adventure in the rain, getting chased home by possibly the creepiest man alive, having a beer bottle thrown at us from the second creepiest man alive, and that spring break we spent in West Virginia at your grandparents.
Now to my graduates:
To Sydney “Slothy” Little I leave nothing because you’re coming to UVA with me.
To Larkin “Darlin Darkin” O’Hara I leave our Harry Potter obsession (that no one else understands), snow days spent at our houses, concerts at the Forbes Center, awkward middle school pictures, and freshman choir/musical.
To Lucy Rose I leave dog walking, “playing” after school, rants about incompetent people, and our love of our pets.

To Garrett Thompson I leave 8th grade French, memories of me trying to talk you out of naming your future twin daughters ‘LaWasha’ and ‘LaDrya’, your broken puka shell necklace (still not sorry), and our ongoing game of hanging up the phone (which I don’t really know what to call)

I, Mariah Grace Flick, being of sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath the following items:

To the HHS Band: I want to leave my thanks to all of you. I came to high school as a freshmen very unsure of myself and not really sure what it was like to really be apart of anything. Through the band, I have learned so many things about myself. I owe who I am today because of my time with each and everyone of you. You guys are my second family.

To my wonderful trumpet section: I would like to give fishy ice cubes so that the future generations can make fun of you for having fish in your water. I will miss our dysfunctional family status and all of your antics.

To my friends of the party car (you know who you are): I would like to give my trashy music. We have had crazy, and sometimes not so safe, car rides jamming out to the most ridiculous rap music. We should probably never actually dance in public…

To Megan Lebarge: I leave all my artist wisdom. Please continue to annoy your brother for me; he’s going to need it when I won’t be around to annoy him next year.

To Michelle Eckstine: I would like to leave you memories of our time in Honors Choir together, and our trip Christmas Light Sailing. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when you are around.

To Miranda Stoner: I leave all of my insaneness and the tumbleweed gang in your hands (treat both with respect). You are my crazy twin and will have to carry on our ridiculousness. You are the better version of me remember? They had to have a rough draft before the final? Scare some freshmen next year for me would ya?

To Ellie Plass, Ava Reynolds and Hollyn Slykhuis: I would like to leave all of our trips to Greenberries and all the long talks. I want you to know those meant a lot to me. I know I couldn’t have made it through the year without your support and patience.

To Lilly Evans-Haywood: I leave you memories. Just think of all the things we have done together! Going to see Wicked; ice skating in Charlottesville; dressing up in terrible bathrobes for musical; being bus buddies and musical buddies; all the fun, if cynical fun, times in band; looking hot in marching band; all the embarrassing moments while on driving adventures. I owe a lot to you for some very happy moments these past few years. I will always treasure that! You are my sunshine!

I, Luke Gibson, being of English mind and Seth Rogen body, do hereby bequeath the following items:
to Phoebe Copeland, I leave THE GRILL. Now, officially, it’s yours. I leave every torturous Tron shift and hopefully the diabolical dish shifts that are still due your way. I’ll be back for some mexi every now and then. I would leave you every production next year to stage manage, but you know it’s yours anyway.
to Graham Rebhun, I leave legless war veterans and South Carolina. Joey? Bro!
to Isabelle Burden, I leave the Wall So Hard. Use it wisely – take someone under your wing and show them how it works. I also leave you an open spot at Emerson College and the biggest responsibility of all: hhsmedia.com. I’ve taught you everything I know, don’t let me down. I believe in you.
to Aarash Heydari, I leave Classic Luke, just for you.
to Evan Dotas, I leave an empty seat at every one of your poetry nights with my name on it.
to Ariel Vogel, I leave a big bag of people making out in the hallway, prom dresses, and fire drills, which I know irk you so much.

to the City of Harrisonburg, I leave a large part of my english accent – you’ve stolen enough of it already.

To Isabelle Burden, my best friend and the thing I will miss the most about Harrisonburg, Virginia, all of the clothing items I stole from you, the countless letters to and from you scattered around my room, late-night watermelon runs, whole wheat bagels with eggwhite, my slang flash cards, feel-betters, unwiches, babysitting, car dancing, Strip radio, the headshot of me already up on your wall, our one fight that lasted half an hour, the catcalling outside of campus, all of the people we hate together, my half-finished painting, as many Very Berry Hibiscus Refreshers as you could possibly drink, Superbad, Ms. Frizzle’s hair, our unwillingness to ever be embarrassed except about middle school, some Szechuan chicken, our love for Karmy, #OhJared, Spring Arts, Team Twitchy, a bottle of Nair, my dad’s never ending praise, rapping, Brandon from Starbucks, the literal hundreds of things I wish were appropriate to mention here, my undying love for you, a spot on the futon in my dorm any and every time you want it, and my Corbin Bleu poster.
To Ariel Vogel: three beautiful years of one act together, the VTA experience, our eventful shopping trip before the last one, and impromptu, important and hilarious text conversations.
To Phoebe Copeland: my eternal thanks for everything you’ve done for me and for everyone else to make the last 3 years of being a StageStreak wonderful.
To Zach Benevento: “I DON’T know what you’re talking about,” my broken laptop, that one Starbucks date with Isabelle, and calling your son Juan.
To Graham Rebhun: I have nothing to say to you, except that you need to BACK YOUR ISH UP.
To Hannah Purcell: the past 14 years of friendship and laughter and occasional temper tantrums because hey, we were 5. Also Bananagrams, sidewalk chalk, hiding under the kitchen table, bike-riding in the culdesac, photo shoots at Walmart, golden retrievers, basketball hoops, Kraft mac n’ cheese, Japanese beetles, the adventures in the GMC Jimmy, and 1709 Evergreen Dr.
To Noelle Warne: those Tuesday morning breakfasts, a return on all the candy from your house you’ve given me, my excitement for your future onstage here, and the hope that one day, my hair will look as good as yours.
To Jaymie Inouye: that mother-daughter bond that will never be broken, even if it’s only because of our hair.
To Sarah Poirot: my phone number, which you already have, just in case you ever, for any reason, need a second big sister.

I, Aubtin Heydari being of immaculate mind and based body, do hereby bequeath the following items: To Aarash Heydari, I leave fighting over the controller and losing things.

I, Breanna Hostetter, being of food-obsessed mind and rather klutzy body, do hereby bequeath the following items:
To Graham Rebhun I leave honors gov, long rants, car rides, awkward dances, musical, and our shared lev for the best music ever, OneRepubic and Pentatonix. Only you understand my obsession.
To Stuart Baker I leave IHOP, musical practices and crazy stories, random heart to hearts, walmart food, and possibly the wierdest friendship ever.
To Kelli Showalter I leave probably the best and longest stress relieving rants tht ever there were, and Eddie. I guess you can have him now…
To Andy King I leave my heart of course, and all our random, hilarious conversations backstage. And a ton of hugs.
To AK I leave last years study hall table, countless trips to Js, and all our heart to hearts with Cam, Nixon, and Heather. And also relationship advice. I leave you with a lot of that.
To Chloe Richard I leave the all our wonderful, and not so wonderful times in choir and the soprano section. Carry it well- it needs you.
To my guardie loves I leave counting to 16, sunburns, puffy paint, Franco’s, henna, Grease, Jaws, tons of hairspray and makeup, pointed toes, all the candy left upstairs that I haven’t already eaten, endless bruises, a little blood, and a lot of laughs. And drumline. Always go for a drummer… Just maybe not from our school.
To my musical ladies I leave a top of the line playlist and a tradition that must be continued. You know what I mean. Lil and I have taught you well, don’t let us down.
To the young life camp ladies I leave you with ‘MERICA! And the Bernie. Also tons of mud and memories that will last forever.
To Aaron Hostetter I leave Harrisonburg High School in all it’s glory, or lack thereof. I leave you any good luck that I may have left, and a house in which you will now be the only receiver of all dad’s good wisdom and mom’s constructive criticism. You might not appreciate it now but in three years you definitely will! I also leave you lots of good home style cooking, which I will be very jealous of next year, and much love.

Stay sexy, saxy, and saucy my friends!

The legendary chemistry trio of you, me, and Lucy will never be forgotten. Make the best of your senior year and enjoy low percent error!
To Evan Dotas I leave the Sean Francis horn section. I will certainly miss our ridiculously unproductive tomfoolery, as well as our amazing dance in Groove Me. One day there will be a reunion gig, Stuart will fall down from the heavens, and we will once again majestically appear from behind a garage door. Keep it real.
To the HHS community as a whole I leave Tri-M, Pre-Med, and my home in the booth of the auditorium. To the tech booth I leave the countless boxes of cables in, well, exactly as messy of a condition as when I found them. To the future students who will take on these roles, I leave what little sleep I am currently running on.

To Aspen Hoak, I leave EVERY mean thing I’ve said to you, and know that is was all out of love. I leave you my caring squash family (take good care of them), watching Breaking Bad in class, and our arguments over cleavage. To Jasmin Rose, I leave you the games we reffed together, and the rude parents who come with it. I leave enough lectures about you wearing turtlenecks, and I will miss you! To AK Koyee, I leave you the good reputation of the Koyee name. Don’t screw it up, bro. To my yearbook class and my wonderful advisor, I leave you our endless birthday parties, jam out sessions, late night deadlines, dinner at O’Neils, and my love for all of you.

To my sister’s friends, I leave you my sister. If a boy walks in a 3 feet radius of her, immediately dismantle him.
To my little sister, I leave you epic fights, awkward times of being wingmen, hilarious memories, and just a 10/10 time. I know I’ll be down the street but hey, call me up and I’ll beat you up anytime. And with that I leave you a Ancient Chinese secret, but really it’s a bomb quote: Don’t let the haters keep you off your grind. Keep your head up, I know you’ll do fine. Keep fighting until you get there. And when you are down and feel like giving up. Whip your hair back and forth.
