Enjoy every day of high school, because its over before you know it...
Getting dressed up for school isnt worth it!...Do not failany of your classes because its a major pain to make them back up...Dont
let high school intimidate you. Just be yourself and everything will turn
out good...Dont screw up your high school years by not getting involved,
youre going to miss out on a lot of fun things...Just have fun and be friends
with everyone in your class...Show respect to everyone, someday it will
come back to help you...Do your homework!...Stay in school!!...Shower
every day!!!......Stop being immature and accept responsibil-
ity for your actions. If you fail a class, the teacher doesnt
hate youyou just failed!....Dont screw up in the beginning andthink youll x it later. People end up giving up...Get involved with your
school and dont procrastinate!...Start your college search in eleventh
grade...The time you spend to get good grades is worth it...Screw whatpeople think of you. Be your own person. Your quirks
make you unique...Stay focused on your work, it all pays off at theend...Try to enjoy the rest of your years here, make the most out of them...
Set goals for yourself. Try to do something with your high school career.
Dont just do the bare minimum...In the long run it doesnt matterwho you were friends with or who you dated in high school, what matters is
what youve learned, especially about yourself...Dont slack off your se-
nior year, its not worth it...Dont go around causing problems with people
for dumb reasons, you may end up friends if you get to know each other...
Continue your education, there are no limits to learn-
ing...Take music class!...Think before you speak...Enjoy high school, butalso do well because the real world still hasnt started...Be concerned about
your grades and where you will end up in the future...Play a sport and stay away from the drama...Never give up...Dont skip...Dont do drugs...Be
who you are not what you want people to make of you...Do more than you can...People come and go, so if friends leave dont stress about it
because there are reasons why they didnt make it to your future...Learn how to walk in the hallway...Pay attention...Go to the footballgames...Take hold of your future and make smart choices...Live it up, it goes by fast...Listen to your teachers and dont get in trouble for no reason...
Dont settle for just okay. That will only contain
the mediocrity the students here have accepted as
status quo. Do something useful...Dont be inuencedby other students

GraduatesThank StaffBy MICHELLE GAEDKE
Throughout high school, our teachers have taught more than just
their subject. They have taught us how to grow up, think for our-
selves, and have prepared us for the next step in our lives. Before
we graduate, we would like to thank all of the teachers we have had
over the years, their hard work is greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank Mr. Grenfell for all of his hard work and
dedication to his students, Stephanie Ferrante.
Thank you Mrs. Reiter for being there for your students, Amanda
Roush.
Thank you Mr. Kotsogiannis for encouraging me to take AP Euro,
and for putting up with me for three years, Mary Clutter.
I am thankful for Mrs. ORourke because she has not only taught
me a lot but has also been a helpful friend during my four years of
high school, Shawn Jason.
Thank you Mr. Tyler for making me think about life, Steve
Luchonok.
Thank you Mr. Sitarski for teaching me respect, hard work, and
responsibility, Austin Masalskis.
Thank you Mrs. James for making me literate, Kevin Cislo.
I would like to thank Herr Sedore because he makes
his class fun, and he is helpful and understanding,
Emily Rodman.
Thank you Mr. Cook for teaching me that chemistry is
not that hard, Eleni Shestani.
I am thankful for Mr. Clairmont because of his great
advice, Austin Messing.
Thanks to all the teachers that cared, MohamedAdam.
I would like to thank all the teachers I had, they were
all great, Anese Yaffai.

best job we could to continue to grow and develop The Boltinto an
important part of school pride and student life here at EFHS, just
like those Editors that have gone before us. Weve had setbacks,
but in the end, we are condent that weve taken a strong stand for
free speech that will remain with The Boltlong after weve gone.
And to next years staff: remember to never accept mediocritythe
