  • 2020 WildcatHar-ber High SchoolSpringdale, Arkansas

    Theme: "So. Much. More."
    Adviser: Karla Sprague
    Editors: Madelyn Stout, Andrea Gonzalez, Presley Shelton
    Walsworth representative: Jenny Olson - CJE

    In their own words:

    "As we pull into the parking lot, we are greeted by a sense of strength, a dominating presence in the West, a richness.

    "White towering columns stand guard at every entrance of the school, permeating a feeling of awe and grandeur.

    "We grab our North Face backpacks from the backset of our BMWs and Land Rovers, as we walk into school wearing our LuLuLemon leggings and Air Jordans.

    ---

    "We filled the stands for Senior Night even though it was 27 degrees outside, and the field was full of students singing the Alma Mater when we beat Rogers 70-29. No one could look away as we watched on YouTube our volleyball team lose to Southside in the state semi-finals.

    "Primetimes are spent practicing our choir music or sneaking off to our favorite teacher's room. Others are on the green team.

    "We are more than meets the eye. We are the success story, the pride of Har-Ber High, so. much. more."

    Theme: "Perspective"
    Adviser: Katherine Chwalik
    Editors: Arik Karim, Jasmine Mullings
    Walsworth representatives: Veronika Levine - CJE, Tamera Moore

    In their own words:

    "With a new decade on the horizon, many students began to look ahead to the 2020 school year. With a collection of advice, aspirations, expectations and predictions, students began their year with a perspepctive.

    "'The differences I expect from last year are that we'll have more work, the teachers will be less lenient and your art area will be emphasized,' Ashley Weiler, communications (8) said.

    ---

    "With every beginning came exciting memories. However things did not always go as expected. Many students had common misconceptions that had been seized once they got to school.

    "'I was expecting the school to be smaller, but it turned out to be huge. There is a lot more home work than I expected,' Ashwin Kishor, communications (6), said.

    "The year ranged in hard, unexpected, but fulfilling experiences. From spring testing to school performances and events, the ups and downs all helped students and faculty gain a new perspective on school life."

  • 2020 The LairShawnee Mission Northwest High SchoolShawnee, Kansas

    Theme: You Never Know
    Adviser: Susan Massy
    Editors: Mollie Elfrink, Ethan Schreiber
    Walsworth representative: John Kelley

    In their own words:

    “I…
    I don’t know everything. Dr. Winston calls on me. I didn’t even raise my hand. 'What are the magnificent seven?' Dr. Winston asks. My mind goes blank. 'I don’t know.' He rolls his eyes and moves on.

    “I BELIEVE...
    For years, my mom told me that if I repeatedly flipped the light switch on and off rapidly, I would start a fire. I believe that I can get to school on time, even though it’s 7:32 a.m. and I haven’t scraped the ice off my car yet. Maybe Mach won’t notice I wasn’t in my seat when the last bell rang.

    “I BELIEVE THAT...
    I believe that sometimes we sign up for an elective just fill to our schedules. Perhaps Environmental Ed will spike a passion that will change our lifestyle.

    "I BELIEVE THAT WE...
    I believe that we, my class, can win the Spirit Stick - if everyone stands and yells loud enough. “The class of 2022 wins once again.”

    “I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL...”
    I believe that we will finally see the graduation countdown clock actually countdown. I believe that we will see a day when the minute bell music will play without fail.

    “I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!”
    I see the clock counting down. Only 10 seconds left to win the game.
    10... 9… 8… 7…
    Sophomore Damare Smith takes the shot.
    6... 5... 4… 3...
    With a swish, it goes in. Three points.
    Who knew that video would go viral on Instagram?"

    Walsworth representative: Steven Wallace

    In their own words:

    "It's true these were the facts that used to define us.

    "Drapes for walls in the Elementary Building. Sand on our playground. Multi-age classes for our Kindergarten and First grade classes. A black track. Black and white yearbooks. Open entries instead of gates. Chalkboards in every class. Green tennis courts. Demons as our mascot.

    "But this is what's honest about us now. A bigger weightroom and lockerrooms in our gym. A steam building in the works. A remodeled cafeteria. Student Council for our Middle School students. Chromebooks for every student. A library with colorful walls. Added classes in Kindergarten and Sixth grade."

    Theme: "NOW or Never"
    Adviser: Monica Rodriguez - CJE
    Editors: Kiara Kamlani, Kimberley Cruz
    Walsworth representatives: Veronika Levine - CJE, Tamera Moore

    In their words:

    "NOW is the time to... TAKE ACTION.
    Do the things that are DIFFICULT. Step outside your comfort zone. Life is uncertain. It can change at any moment. When you have a chance to make a difference or take on a challenge, YOU NEED TO DO IT.

    "Junior Pedro Schmeil decided to embark on a 330km bike ride through Europe. Freshman Cassandra Kraft took a stand against plastic straws for the environment. Sophomore Jason Fieler decided to share his original compositions with the world. Senior Julianna Portillo del-Valle used her talent for drama to stand up for what she believes in.

    ---

    "Those things that seemed trivial and mundane, became the things we cherished most. Walking into Publix to buy hand sanitizer. Picking up friends for a day in the Key. Stopping at Pinecrest Bakery before school. Driving to the Academy for baseball practice.

    "So, you NEVER KNOW when things may change and a chance will PASS YOU BY.

    "Do you decide to apply to your reach school? Do you try out for the team? Do you take a chance and learn something new? Do you make the best of an impossible situation?

  • 2020 The Round-UpWoodland Junior High SchoolFayetteville, Arkansas

    Theme: "We Know Who We Are"
    Adviser: Andrew Young - CJE
    Walsworth representative: Jenny Olson - CJE

    In Their Own Words:

    "Our identity as a school matters. You may think that we are the average, annoying, lazy junior high students who spend too much time making TikToks and perfecting our Instagram posts, but we are more than that. We have drive; we are intense; we are loud; and we are social, and no amount of change will make that any less true. We may be Cowboys, Blue Dogs or Colts, but really, we know who we are.

    "We are DRIVEN to do our best academically. The Math Counts team took first place at the state competition. After numerous hours of building and programming robots, the Robotics team won the VEX Teamwork State Championship in March.

    "We are INTENSE because over 70% of our student body play a sport. Also, for the fourth time in a row, the Girls Cross Country Team and the Eighth Grade Boys Basketball Team won the Conference Championship.

    "We are LOUD because thirteen students were selected to be in All Region Band, seven in All Region Choir, and in seven All Region Orchestra.

    "We are SOCIAL by cheering with our friends in the student section on Mondays and Thursdays, and by hanging out in the courtyard or cafeteria before school."

    In their own words:

    "We've all heard, 'WHEN LIFE KNOCKS YOU DOWN, GET BACK UP AND FIGHT HARDER.'

    "As sinners, we all fall daily, whether that be in our spiritual lives, sports, math, or you know, failing your driving test five times.

    "Every experience is valuable and helps us grow in life. Although we might not see it in the moment, it builds character in us. Look at your life for a second. Life is a journey of ups and downs.

    "Facing those hurdles, stressing out, having mental breakdowns, struggling to balance school and social life...

    "Above all else, remember God is right there beside us through it all... Leading us to be stronger people.

    "Life is difficult for all of us at different points in life, but the difference is how we deal with it, how we get back up again."

    Editor: Savannah Gery
    Walsworth representative: Jill Chittum - MJE

    In their own words:

    "You Expected to Find the Normal Things

    "At the start of the year, you found classes you didn’t love but had to take to graduate, the buzz of the bells, and the hassle of the lanyard around your neck —and the things you thought Legacy was — cowboy boots, pickup trucks, and country accents. But after spring break, you missed all the normal things. So, what was the normal?

    "Was it that one time at the Mansfield football game? Yeah, when Tony the Tiger tackled Bucky the Bronco. Or when we finally won a football game after six losses. Was that it?

    "Was it about the smell that filled your nose on Wednesdays and Fridays? You expected the cookies, and you always noticed when they weren’t there. Was that it, that consistent, tasty comfort?

    ---

    "As we lost the motivation to write our expository essay at 2 a.m., all we wanted to do was make another TikTok.

    "We learned to find our new way — in isolation. We learned how to work online. We learned how to social distance and how to conserve toilet paper.

    "We spent the half the year looking for the normal – the other half finding a new normal."

    Walsworth representative: Tracy de la Feuilliez - CJE

    In their own words:

    "We didn't plan on getting a new principal this year, but we did. And she brought more school spirit than all of us combined. We didn't expect Mr. Capp to be the one disguised under the purple inflatable suit during the first pep rally, but he was. And we went wild. We didn't predict two hurricane days in the beginning of September, but they happened. And Dorian gave us a five-day weekend full of procrastination and random get-togethers. We didn't know that OHS would be a home to a handful of famous Tiktokers, but it is. And they make us proud in the cringiest of ways.

    "We spent 12 sweaty hours designing clever parking spots and getting awful farmers’ tans in the last week of summer vacation. Preparation is no joke: sketches, paint, chalk, tape, rollers, brushes, sunscreen, the list never ends! We work hard, we practice, we plan, we don't settle for anything less than excellence. We do it on purpose. It's by design."

    In their own words:

    "Every day we put ourselves out there

    "We make ourselves vulnerable every time we try something new. What we don't know scares us beyond what we can even imagine, yet we face it every day. Every time we ask 'what if,' we are met one-on-one with the unknown. What if my partner does not like Ms. Stradling's government skits? What if I mess up one of my lines during my passion project presentation for Ms. Wilbur?

    "It's not even that we don't know, it's that there's always someone to see the results. It's not just one more thing to worry about; sometimes, it's the only thing. Will they laugh if we make a mistake? Will they blame us for the loss? No matter how hard or how easy the task is, we always come back to... What will they think?"

    In their own words:

    “Revel in 2020 at Athens.

    “Echoes of applause and cheers rang through the school as concerts finished and drum rolls sounded. Laughter and running poured out of the building as students left classes and headed off campus. The pulsating energy floated around the school as the first promposal was asked and valentine sung. Athens was built in specific and unique structure. The magnet theme attracted a global perspective to classes, mixing students from different cultures and backgrounds into one strong student body. Personalities shown as students focused on their passions, giving back and supporting the local community while also becoming examples of success. Students and teachers alike were driven, responsible, inspired, valued, and energized to learn, grow and make a difference. The vision was set in place and Athens stood out because it was like nothing else.”

    “’New Year, New Me.’ For high schoolers, this mantra relates to the start of the school year, not January 1. We all had an idea of how we wanted this year to go. We would travel to DECA internationals or eat out lunch every day. We’d apply to our dream college or get all A’s. We had a plan, and we were sure it was going to go exactly as we thought.

    “What we didn’t know was just how much we were going to change. Sometimes because of our own choices, and sometimes based on things we couldn’t control.”

    ----

    “Then there was that moment that changed everything. We walked out of school on March 13 ready to grab our suitcases and travel to the Bahamas or Seaside. We didn’t take the time to say goodbye to all of our teachers or look back as we drove out of the parking lot. We thought we’d be back in 10 days, ready for two more months of eating Pizza Hut lunches, studying Quizlets and counting down the days until May 22.

    “But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We didn’t know what was going to happen when we walked through the office doors on August 13. We had no idea how our stories would unfold.”

      “You can’t imagine your life any other way. Everything remains constant until you hit your turning point. It’s unexpected and challenges your reality. You have no choice but to confront it.

      “Although this change is shocking, it comes with new opportunities. You reflect on your past and realize nothing will ever be the same. At first it feels scary, but only because everything is so unfamiliar. Eventually, you start to embrace the change and understand it’s reason.

      “All you can do is accept it...”

  • 2020 The Lion’s PrideOne School of the ArtsLongwood, Florida

    Theme: "So Extra"
    Adviser: Heather Rice
    Editor: Emily Parker
    Walsworth representative: Tracy de la Feuillez - CJE

    In their own words:

    “The definition in the English dictionary for the word Extra is to be greater than the usual. But the term given for going above and beyond the normal standards, and going the Extra mile, describes someone who is So Extra. In the past, calling someone ‘Extra’ could have had a negative connotation, but today, the word has become a term of endearment or a compliment to someone’s approach to life.

    “Open Mic performances were So Extra! Those who performed also had courage and did brave things, like Isnayah Barnes, seventh grade, who took the stage several times during Open Mic, and passionately performed her free and expressive dance routines. When Neo Layton, 11th grade, ended his original poetry readings with his So Extra back flips, the crowd went wild with applause!”

    Theme: “Any/Way”
    Adviser: Kimberly Roscoe
    Editors: Hannah Pinnell, Natalie Tajeddine
    Walsworth representative: Sabrina Schmitz - CJE

    In their own words:

    “They say. It’s impossible. It’s never been done. We say, ‘They haven’t seen it our way.’

    “They say, ‘Not like that.’ Or ‘You’re doing it wrong.’ We say, ‘Watch us do it anyway we want.’

    “We held our first Ted Talk event, and it sold out. We took selfies for CAS log proofs, to get the hours any way we can. We stressed about passing our certification test. But became certified anyway. And just like that, our medical careers started.

    “All five robotics teams made it to states and we put on the first ever production of ‘Bright Star’ in Pinellas County. They say you can’t be good at academics and arts but we are anyway.

    “Basketball player Connor Bartholomew broke two school records, and it’s only his junior year. The swim team seniors got to graduate going all four years undefeated.

    “Anyway, this isn’t even the beginning of what we are capable of.”

    Advisers: Alyssa Boehringer, Curtis Christian
    Editors: Kayla Thompson, Sydney Anderson, Abigail McAdams, Sydney Caldwell, Leah Boatman
    Walsworth representative: Jill Chittum - MJE

    In their own words:

    “At first, it started as nothing. A phrase that didn’t make total sense. We heard it from coach Marcus Shavers, and then on posters and sweatshirts. It took us a second to figure out what it meant. We never knew that it would turn into something bigger.

    “And that’s all we’ve ever wanted. Something that will bring us together.

    “Obviously, we first took it as a joke. Something you would say to your friends when you didn’t know what to say – until we were chanting it as the football team fought their way through the first round of playoffs. We say it because... that’s all you need to know. That we are all we have, we’re all we need.”
