Advice from
Bryce: Add More to
Your Summer
BY BRYCE ST. CLAIR
Summer is almost here! As I begin
wrapping up my second year of advice, I
leave you with some helpful summer info:
As you know, the economic crisis has
hit everyone. Some families may or
may not be going on vacation. However, you can still have an enjoyable local summer vacation with your friends!
ANDREW SHELTON
Matthew Overton- Seniority over
the baseball team until the day you
graduate.
Adam Ledford- I leave you all of
my injury prone-ness for football this
season. Good Luck!
Alex Svenson- A starting position so
that I can come back and watch you
dominate.
Ali Morris- I leave you our notes in
Mr. Moore’s study hall, and gratitude
for the best advice I’ve ever received!
Blake Mitchell- I leave you with a
green card in case someone mistakes
you for an illegal alien because of your
amazing Spanish skills.
Channing- I leave you with all the
memorable conversations that we had.
Chris Proctor- I leave you your house
in Belize...since you never took me
with you.
Esther Grubbe- I leave you wishes for
best of luck in Oxford next year and
that look you always give me when
you see me. I’m sorry I made you mad
so much this year.
Garrison Morgan- I leave you WoW
because I know you want to play...
Jake Blair- Still one of the coolest
guys I know. So many memories... I
still owe you a car wash.
Paul Lalonde- I leave you with the
rights to the outfield. You can play
whatever position you want, when you
want too. I’ll be back to watch you
next year.
Savannah Becotte- I leave you with
your own car so me and Robert don’t
have to drive you around all the time.
I’m just playing; I have so many
memories of you and I’m so glad we
May 2009
Need to swim? For those of you
who lack a swimming pool in your
backyard, the YMCA, Golden Springs
Swim Club, Oxford Pool, and Anniston Country Club are just a few
places where pools are accessible.
Enjoying local events such as Fourth
of July, youth trips, Spirit of Anniston,
and Music at McClellan can keep you
occupied and pleased for the duration
of the summer. Other fun events can
include going to the museum, playing sports, and visiting Mt. Cheaha.
Movie nights with friends, afternoons in the park, picnics, and
camping are great summertime activities that won’t “break the bank.”
Some people enjoy starting hobbies over the summer. Take up
learning an instrument, practic-
ing karate, planting a garden, or
even building a tree house! (Face it,
you’re never too old for a tree house).
Summer is also a great time to get some
Donoho community service completed. Working at Vacation Bible School,
the animal shelter, Spirit of Anniston,
mission projects, and RMC are great
ways to get the “hassle” of completing
community service for the next year.
You can keep busy and get all of your
hours completed in a matter of days.
For the select few who are fifteen years
of age or older, a summer job is greatly
appreciated to put some money in your
pocket. Paying for gas, car insurance,
lunch, or a ticket to the movies with
your own money can help you prepare
for the real world. Try working someplace that you find enjoyable. Some jobs
that are open to teenagers: fast food
restaurants, clothing stores, summer
camps, local pools, yard work, house
work, pet sitting, and selling lemonade!
Summertime can be fun and enjoyable even with the current economic
situation. Take advantage of the fun
and affordable activities that you can
locally participate in. Once community service and summer reading are
out of the way, you’re set for a relaxing afternoon. You may even save
enough money to actually go on an
enjoyable vacation! Six Flags? Georgia
Aquarium? Atlanta Zoo? The Beach?!
Thank you, dedicated readers. I
hope to continue onto my third year
with “Advice from Bryce” beginning
this fall. Best wishes to the seniors of
’09! We’ll miss you! Enjoy summer!
became friends this year.
Taylor Suco- I leave you all my skills
at wakeboarding... you’re gonna need
them this summer.
Will Montgomery- I leave you 30
touchdowns next season.
Will Nunnelly- “Nundawg” I leave
you the most naturally talented kid
I’ve ever seen; you’re going to be great
keep it up!
Eric Blaskowski- I leave you better
skills at NCAA so maybe you can play
a decent game against me again.
Ellen Hardy- I leave you the star of
next year’s play with pages and pages
of dialogue.
Will Guyton- I leave you a great taste
in music.
Trent Landers- sorry for giving
you such a hard time for not playing
football.
Trey Escue- I leave you your “Slim
Fat” diet.
Walker Mason- I leave you the lil’
player award.
Caed Turner, Jarrod McMicheal,

that you managed to get out of here
before I did.

Paul Lalonde: I leave you the gift of
six fig.

should say.
Pavan Mudiam: You’re the man.
Alex Svensen: Ice buckets!!

won’t be quite the same, but I got faith
you’ll do great. Good luck.
Alex Lalonde: We meet again
brotherin.
ANDREW COOK
Channing Estell: You already know I
love you to death. There are too many
inside jokes to put on here - “I’m
Chaaaaning and I don’t liiike that,”
no such thing as too much Los Mex,
after school shopping, closed doors at
Mapco in the middle of the night, a
DMB concert in May—a parking deck
in Alpharetta, sneaking cameras into
Dave/“It’s ok you’re at Dave”
Savannah Becotte: I think we’re
more alike than either of us realizes;
it’s going to be a good summer - a
sweet random “I love you” text when I
needed it most, a DMB concert in May,
being able to relate about relationships
and life in general
Ellen Hardy: Keep up with drama;
you have so much talent! I’ve had so
much fun working with you the past
few years.
Katie Palmer and Caroline Escue:
All the glitter in the art room

long practices for Possum Fat

cool you are - all art supplies and the

behind Mrs. Otwell and her horrible
attempt at reassuring us, protecting
each other from the tornado
Mary Elizabeth Mathison: one scene
and about six lines in The Miracle
Worker
Alex Woodfin, Esther Grubbe,
Meredith Helms, Emily Rogers,
Ashton Shropshire: 1st semester PE,
partying instead of doing work, talking
about stupid boys, filming stunting and
dance routines
Katie McClean: I still want to be you
when I grow up; you’re pretty much the
coolest person I know. Thank you for
saving us so many times this season waaay too many soccer memories, early
mornings in PE 1st semester, “I don’t
want to be here,” relationship advice,
a game against Westbrook ending in
PKs, REEESE!, ghetto lockers next to
each other
Corey Phillis: I’m so glad I’ve gotten
to know you better this year; stay
awesome cause you don’t need to
change at all - the awful responsibility
of center mid, “Cause it’s what I want,”
the Corey-Annie Duo
Adele Fink: Keep your sense of humor
and good attitude about obstacles and
life - a number 3 jersey if you really
want it, “hating” on each other, all my
love
Erin Phillis: a secret handshake, goofy
times in practice
Anna Turner: tutoring you in math,
“I’m gonna rock this mess!”
Katherine
Westbrook:
Please
don’t lose your upbeat attitude and
enthusiasm - perfecting your long ball,
“BOOK IT,” my days on defense
Sarah Storey and Lesli Williams:
Please don’t grow up too fast - many
many hugs and all my love and
guidance
Will Guyton: Watch for the flying
nickels next time... They’re coming.
Oh and my cars much cooler.
Trey Escue: if you’re going to play
rap, roll up your windows.
Will Montgomery: Have a GREAT
time in the backfield next year and
good luck

more years at QB.

Peyton van Ekris and Mallory
Landon: the inevitable yellow cards
you will get for elbowing
Wilnadia Murrell: Keep giving
soccer your all and you will continue
to improve!
To the girls’ soccer team: I love
you all like my sisters. The past two
seasons with y’all are something I
will cherish for the rest of my life.
There are too many memories and
inside jokes to put on here. You are all
incredible, beautiful, fun, and caring
girls that I can’t wait to watch grow
up. Always stay true to yourself and
leave everything on the field. You will
be amazing next season…I’ll be your
number one fan forever and promise to
come back for games. Come visit me in
New Orleans!
Mrs. Wingo: the TWENTY SIX letters
of the alphabet, wonderful’s on tests,
being caught at play practice instead of
AP practice test, an empty seat on the
slow kid side of the room.
Mrs. Otwell: a very noisy 2nd period,
Wordly Wise arguments, all my shady
friends, “Mrs. Ottie,” KK impressions.
Mrs. Landrum: I will miss your
fragrant tea in the hallway, “mommy
sandwiches,” interpretive dance, crazy
music, and making art with you. I
love and appreciate you more than you
realize.
Mrs. Perkins: My favorite class, a 1
on the AP exam, the birth video, hopes
for a happy retirement.
Mrs. Richardson: hanky panky, sitting
on a fence
Mr. Ford: heated debates, a “spunky”
attitude.
AVI PUROHIT
we connected and worked together. I
remember the powerful motivational
skills he possessed when we were
almost about to lose a match. The
comeback after that was incredible.
Tennis was great way this final year for
my brother and me to come together
and work as a team.
The joyous moments of spending
time with my brother in my final year
will be a memory that I will embrace
for a long time. I hope that he too will
feel the same as I do about this year.
Note to my brother: “Thanks bro for a
great year!”
BRENDAN RICE
Ever since I joined art class, it has
been my favorite part of the school day.
Miss Landrum will be what I miss most
about Donoho. She has inspired me to
get involved with art, and she has also
become such a good friend. Her taste
in music is also really great. She’s also
one of the few bright blue dots in this
school (stay strong). I’ll miss you next
year.
It’s an understatement to say I’ll
miss Brian next year, and I don’t think
a school newspaper article is the way
to describe how great you are, so I’ll
save that for another time. I expect to
see you in Birmingham a lot. Have fun
leading the soccer team next year.
To the soccer team, we had a great
year, and it was a lot of fun. It was fun
playing on the team. Good luck next
year.
To all my teachers, I appreciate all
that you have done for me.
Juniors, good luck being seniors next
year.

for help on all the technical stuff.
You and Taylor have already done
an amazing job on next year’s
yearbook! Have a great Senior year!
Paul Lalonde: rescuing me and Laken
from Sonic, suicide slushes, peanut
butter pies, mine and Laken’s inside
jokes that you don’t think are funny.
Eric
Blaskowski:
aggravating
Robert by not letting him know
what
we’re
talking
about.
Ellen Hardy: your mother, thanks
for always brightening my day.
Melissa Patterson: aka Viney,
“Mildred had a good supper?”
William Nunnley: driving your jeep,
NYC, taking a taxi for five minutes
to walk 20 blocks, making you carry
my jacket, listening to random CDs in
my car, your “big ego”, teaching you
to wakeboard this summer, Roll Tide!
Sarah Ankrom: “Spanky Anchor”,
our
Catholic
picture
in
the
Episcopal Church, almost killing
you in a card game over Snickers.
Sally Barber: you’re hilarious, thanks
for always letting me steal the front
seat from you in Frances’ car, Shelia
and Tracey memories, best of SNL ’07,
trying every flavor in Maggie Moos.
Tyler and Amanda Sherer: As left to
me by my brother and Mary Beth, I
leave you Del Carmen. The hill is yours.
Caroline Escue: my base, sitting on the
front row at basketball games, laughing
and protecting your beautiful face.
Savannah: Always keep that beautiful
smile. I enjoyed cheering with you.
Channing: I’m so glad you decided to
cheer this year. You were a good sport
about being shown a cheer once and
us expecting you to know everything.
Cheerleaders: I leave you cheer camp,
the track, and the cheer room. There
have been so many great memories
from getting ready in the cheer room to
jamming out in the short bus to away
games. I love you all.

CAITLIN FOCKELE
My senior year has been absolutely
amazing, but more importantly it is the
people in my everyday life that make it
special. One significant friend of mine
happens to be my brother, Abhishek
Purohit. The year could not have been
any better without my brother. I cannot
even keep track of all the countless
memories I share with him.
To start things off on a good note, I
remember the time both of us ventured
off to Memphis for the weekend. We left
right after school was out on a Friday
afternoon, and realized what a shame it
was that we had forgotten our bags. It
was half way into the trip when finally
we made a pit stop at a gas station. I
popped the trunk open to pull out
my jacket, for the chilly weather was
devastating. Next thing I know, there
was not a jacket to be found. Luckily, it
was only my cousin’s house where we
were going so everything was fine.
The second best memory I have of
us is our fantastic tennis season as
double partners. The season ended in
the loss of a first round match at state
championships. It was fine because the
opponents were far too great for our
playing level. The matches leading up
to state championship were incredible
though. It was amazing as to how much
Taylor Dawson: too many memories
to count…. I’ll miss making funny
faces at you in the hall. You’re the
most amazing dancer ever! Thanks for
making up every cheer dance and putting
up with getting yelled at. MAPCO!!!!
Trying every new candy possible,
Mexican Fiesta Cheez-its, “I’m having
a fiesta on my pallet”, calling Tostitos,
you understanding my hand motion
for “hey, let me try that” without
saying anything, party in the G-room!
Getting caught up on the latest gossip.
Awesome t-shirt designs for Diamond
Dolls and Soccer Sweeties. France is
Coooooooooool! (the best rap song
ever), hot André, cheer dad, the pancake
cheer, be aggressive and then having
red hand prints, blades! I love you,

Kelsy Crawford: Party in the

As my last will and testament at The
Donoho School I, Cameron Brimer,
leave the following:
Channing, Savannah, and Matthew:
I leave lunches outside the cafetorium
and all the deep conversations
Matthew Overton: I leave all the
awkward but funny conversations
in the hallway, the lunches I always
refused to get you, and still the worst
titty twister I have ever had
Rod Robles: I leave all the fun
memories in Spanish and all the last
minute translations
Brian Altman: I leave randomly party
crashing with Jarad
Rod, Eric, Brian, Trey, and Trent: I
leave all the fun nights at Rookies
Trey Escue: I leave all the fights we
used to get into at Faith and the top
portion of a thumb
Paul Lalonde: I leave all the funny
stories from the prom dinner
Alex Lalonde: I leave P.E. and messing
with Xavier with Jarad and Andrew
Taylor Suco: I leave that shady
intersession experience with Dr. Stone
Ellen Hardy: I leave the Germany trip
and all the facebook chats that took me
forever to respond too
Mallory and Lesli: I leave all the
waves in the hallway
Marshall Ghee: I leave all the rides to
the middle school I never gave you and
the good times in P.E. last year
Charis Athon: I leave getting lost in
the middle of Germany with me and
Avi
Esther Grubbe: I leave all the
detention conversations
The Juniors: I leave my gratitude for
prom and the best of luck next year

CHIP SENKBEIL
Abu (tennis nickname) – Hallway. I
win, so there. Anyway, I’m counting
on you to dominate in tennis. You are
taking over the top position, and I have
the highest confidence that you can
handle it. You’re the new role model for
upcoming Donoho tennis players. Oh,
and did I mention that girls love guys
who play tennis at position number
one?
Rod – You lost the game.
Bryce – Keep writing those advice
columns.
Richard – You have continued to
amaze me with your personality both
on and off of the tennis court. You
are the nicest and most entertaining
seventh grader that I know, and I have
no doubt that you will be a successful
and popular guy in and out of school.
Nisha – Keep on being sweet and
upbeat.
Elizabeth – Always smiling and full of
energy, you are definitely going places.
Hold the girls’ tennis team together and
dominate.
Rachel – Take good care of the
Penfeather. You’ve watched Tyler,
John, and me goof off a lot... so try not
to follow in our footsteps.
Vinay – I hate to say this, but keep
writing those political articles; you’re
good at them.
Diana – I would tell you to try your
hardest to succeed, but you seem to
already be doing that. I wish that I had
been as motivated as you are in high
school. Show the world what you have
got!
Charis – I can’t say that I know you too
well, but you were able to steal Tyler’s
hat, and that’s all that matters.
Raj – Keep working hard. You have
plenty of potential to do whatever you
want.
Johnny – Keep writing those movie
reviews. Oh, and +1 to you.
Willy – You’re going to be on the tennis
team next year. Make sure to stick with
it because you are already fifty times
better than I was when I was in the
eighth grade.
Melissa – *hug* That’s probably the
last one I will be able to give you.
Maria – You can draw better than I
by far. No matter what people say,
keep pursuing that talent because you
definitely have talent. I just wish that I
had asked you to draw a comic of me
once.
Kendall – You are the only person
I know that can dish out poems like
nobody’s business. Keep it up.
Walker – You had better continue
writing questions of the month for the
Penfeather.
George – Without that random facts
application that you let me use at the
state tennis competition, I would have
never survived. Thanks man. Oh, and
prepare to dominate again next year in
tennis.
Gaines – The silent warrior no more. I
think heard more from you at the state
tennis competition than ever before.
You need to use that voice more; it
will blow people’s minds. Oh, and you
had better continue to dominate tennis
like you always have. You improved so
much this year and I am sure that you
will continue improving.

Teachers_Awesome += 1;
To everyone out there, I would like to
clarify three things:
First, the Kevin system. First of all,
let’s start with addition. Any addition
problem works like this: a + b =
Kevin (a + 2b). So, 2 + 3 = Kevin 8.
Now, subtraction is the opposite. Any
subtraction problem works like this:
a – b = Kevin (a – 2b). So, 8 – 3 =
Kevin 2. Multiplication gets a little
more tricky. Using an asterisk (*) for
multiplication, a * b = Kevin (a * b2).
So, 5 * 3 = Kevin 45. The opposite
applies to division. Using a backslash
(/) for division and a power of one half
for the square root, a / b = Kevin (a /
b(1/2)). So, 3 / 9 = Kevin 1.
Second, the incident involving “canal”
never happened.
Third, I did not start the phrase
“monkey cheese.” John Hanner called
my house and immediately repeated
that phrase to me; therefore, I did not
start it.
To those of you who were planning to
finally buy me my very own pony, I’m
afraid that Andrew Kang has beaten
you to the punch. Sorry guys, but I am
still willing to take cash.
DEVIN LEONARD
To the entire student body, I leave
the phrase “Fruitada...nice.” Keep
this in mind, use it when you see fit.
Someday, you will learn to understand
what it means.
To Will Guyton, I leave my spirit,
energy, the shirt off my back, and my
pet unicorn. Kelsy Crawford, I leave
my uncanny ability to create art with
pastel chalks.
To Taylor Dawson, I leave everything
that’s too personal to tell Kelsy, French
Music, and The Lion King. I also leave
you the Birmingham Art Museum and
the frightening experiences there, as
well as the “sweater tied around the
neck” style.
I leave Elizabeth Smith my music
finding ability, taste, some of my tennis
ability, and my willingness to sing in
front of people (stop being a coward!).
To Jherica, I am leaving baby clothes
for Will Guyton and Jherica May’s

eating pigs).

to the use of orca whales in school.
Chris Proctor and Daniel Malone
have exclusive rights to Skittles, and
the ability to fake friendship to obtain

I spent most of my time either in the
cheer room or on the bus or at a game.
I can’t think of any way that I’d rather
have spent a Friday night than cheering
with nine of my closest friends. We
had a million laughs and some pretty
intense left side- right side wars. Work
hard next year, but have fun!! I expect
to see some pretty amazing stunts
being thrown up; especially, with all of
those junior varsity girls stepping up.
Thank y’all for being the best friends I
could ask for and making cheerleading
as much fun as it was! “Get in your
pots” “My network doesn’t even know

being in all of planet Earth. Silly Sally,
you make me laugh everyday. You

are so honest with me. I can count on
you to put me in my place. You know
me so well. You know my every mood
and how to deal with each one ha.

you are and you will never go wrong.

has ever given me, Sally. I love you
more than anything in the world. Love,

GILDA OSBORN
Walker Mason: Walker baby! All
the times at your house, the tickling
game, counting ribs, “toeing,” playing
rough, boys in the volleyball stands
chanting your name during my serves
during volleyball season, Trey Escue’s
house Alabama vs. Georgia night,
9/1/08, 9/27/08, 10/25/08, Lenny!!,
4-wheeler rides, writing on the five
dollar bill, box of notes, doing lyrics,
distractions on the interstate, TransSiberian Orchestra, 12 Days of
Christmas, Iron Bowl halftime trip
to Sonic..and getting stopped by the
train, stars, the lyrics to Whatever You
Like, Mario Kart, Helicopter Game,
Stick Wars, Bubble Wrap, and Papi
Jump competitions, watching the Tree
Man, going to the Huntsville Mall,
OUR swing in the quad, surprising
me when I got home from Germany,
our Nemo fish at Fuji, you making my
prom night one of the best memories
of my life, let me watch!!, UFC fight,
fishing at your grandparent’s house,
saying bye through the window, all of
my many blonde moments, Wonderful
Tonight <3.. Thank you for making
my senior year so memorable. I’m
very lucky to have such a wonderful,
fun boyfriend!! I love you!
Elizabeth Smith: Instead of inside
jokes, this is going to pretty much be a
letter.. So, here it goes..
Dear Elizabeth, I cannot tell you how
much of a little sister you became to
me over the past four years. You are the
kindest, most genuine girl that I have
ever met in my life. You are one-ofa-kind, and I sincerely mean that. My
high school tennis career would have
not been anywhere near as wonderful
as it was if you would have not been
a part of it. I could not have asked for
a better doubles partner. I loved how
we could joke around and not take
things seriously all the time. We had
fun playing tennis. It was not like we
were forced to be partners doing a job.
We were sisters having fun together.
When we sat in a circle the first night
at state, I cannot tell you how much the
comment you made about me touched
my heart. If I didn’t have to contain
myself, I would have cried even more!
Haha! You mean so much to me! I love
picking on you in the hallway. You
know I mean it out of love though! We
had a wonderful season together. You
made my senior year tennis season
absolutely amazing. Our last match
together against Randolph couldn’t
have been a better match to end our
season together. I will miss you so
much! I love you! <3Nemo
Alex Woodfin: My look-a-like!!
I am so glad that I have gotten so
close to you this year! I love having
our conversations about pretty much
everything and reading each other’s
text messages, of course! I always
try to help out with you and your
dilemmas..haha. We always messed
around and talked constantly during
tennis practice! All the times that
people mixed us up and our moms
took pictures of their wrong daughter!
When I was at your house both
times and I got so scared and hid in
the bathroom!! Remember walking
into your house and freaking out and
running to my car! The freaky people
at Rookie’s..spending the night at my
house..getting you lunch..shopping
trip to TJ Maxx..and you being my
twin of course! I love you SO much!
Grace Fink: I love you so much! You
are such a sweet girl, and you are so
fun to hangout with! Talking about you
know who during tennis practice..and
every other time that we are together!
Sleepover at your house!
Matthew Overton: My little brother!
All the times we’ve had since I was
like four. You and your sister rolling
on the ground fighting..the beach this
summer..Imma G!, and all the other
things that I shouldn’t say..haha.
Katie Swinford: Cookie Jar!
Whatever You Like! All of your pretty
braids during volleyball season!
Trey Helms: That’s what she said,
watching movies, discussing our tastes
in music, the first thing that you ever
said to me in your life..you know what
I’m talking about!! Haha! You and
your German beer..The Germany trip
in general..and how amazing it was!!
No sideburns!! Hurting you in the
hallway. Your country accent! :)
Jon Storey: That’s what she said..but
in the way that YOU say it only.
Alli Brascho: Spending pretty much
the whole summer with you, Twilight,
working out, Ego Waffles, and me
completely ruining our macaroni and
cheese.
Will Ready: GERMANY! Our
matching shirts!! Neighbor! All the
times in our yards when we were
kids!
Abhishek Purohit: Falling during
tennis and your suggestive, but cool
tshirts.
Eric Blaskowski: Being 6 1/2 months
older than you..haha ;) I learned to drive
a stick in your car, even though you
may not have known that. You always
sticking up for me when my house got
egged or rolled and threatening to get
them back much worse! And most of
all, your sweet ‘heys’ in the hallway
that I will miss next year!
Adele Fink: You’re such a sweet
girl! All of your heys in the hallway,
spending the night at your house,
playing with my dogs, and riding
4-wheelers!
Emily Rogers: Discussing boyfriends
and presents :)
Marshall Ghee: HEY BUDDY!!
Bowling and fuji..and giving you
extremely good advice.. ;)
Trey Miller: Animal killer.
TYLER AVENI
Brian Westbrook: that Public Forum
case that we never did.
Taylor Dawson, Kelsy Crawford,
and Savannah Becotte: I leave you
the bad drawings that you decorated so
cleverly
Abhishek: Had fun this year, and I
leave you the boys’ tennis team. Next
year will be hard but lots of fun. Give
‘em the ol’ black ball when all else
fails. I must confess that I do not know
what you will do without someone to
get you twix bars however.
Jon Storey: I really don’t know you,
but your hair vaguely resembles mine,
and I respect that.
EJ: I’m sure you’ll do well to lead the
girls tennis team. I still remember those
great band bus rides and doodling!
Charis: I did eventually read House!
Gaines: You are, the silent warrior. I
will always remember when you said
more than 6 words in that group circle
on the floor of the Hampton lobby.
GRACIE JONES
Emily McBride: Oh lord! Where do I
begin? And forgive me; for I will leave
something out I’m sure. “Where in the
sam-hill do you think you’re going?!”
“ So this one time me and (no name)
were you know… playing pool.”
Packing suitcases. “Ellen, sweetie, I
love you to death, but you have got to
shut up.” Perhaps the longest life talk
I have ever had with anyone. DRUNK
COWBOY… ‘nuff said. Only the
coolest roommate in Germany! I love
you and will miss you terribly!!! And
I hereby bequeath the right to be “the
wittiest” Make me proud.
Ellen Hardy: Rooming in Germany!
Drunk Cowboys… The fact that you
ONLY want to talk when people are
trying to go to sleep. Trying to find
you a suitable walking buddy.
Alex Lalonde: My underage
boyfriend.
Bryce St. Clair: “Please go to class….
Please…?”
Jon Storey: “Speak English?” “Lost
legs in war. Need money”
Katie McLean: P.E! What more do I
need to say? Pussycat Dolls songs will
forever remind me of you. Buttons!
Shoot, I know I’m leaving out a ton of
stuff, but my memory escapes me in
my old age.
Mary Jones: Dude, Mary! “ I think
mom sold it in the yard sale.” I also
need to leave you a giant pile of laundry
and few thousand dirty dishes… enjoy.
Tammy. “Will you come shopping
with me?” Fighting over the last cup
of Milo’s. Walking around with your
backpack 45 minutes before its time to
go to school. *Sssch- Sssch* Bribing
you with Starbucks so you’ll help me
clean my car. You’re always going
to be taller than me. Singing in the
car but not letting Frannie sing. You
knowing EVERY song that comes on
the radio/ my iPod. Blasting “Thanks
for the Memories” to scare you in
the car. Embarassing you in public
when I rub your cheeks. Dancing
really obnoxiously to embarrass you.
You always hover over my shoulder.
Violent punch-buggy punches while
I’m driving. “Truckster.” “ You chew
like a cow.” You tell the longest
stories! Turning down the volume so I
can answer a text. You being the only
one to see the Disney World sign and
not bothering to inform the rest of the
car until an hour later. You FINALLY
getting your closet doors hung up!
“Can cats get tummy tucks?” Waking
mom up from her naps to watch her
jump. You always having to squish
bugs for me. Mary, you have been like
the coolest sister, EVER! You have no
idea how much I’m going to miss you!
Stealing sips from your drinks.
William Nunnelly: Working the Bible
school.
Brian Westbrook: My debate partner.
You can take my talent of royally
owning people in crossfire. Our totally
illegitimate book of evidence that
happened to contain knowledge of
EVERYTHING. Quoting a Dr. Kim
Moore. Texting you from right across
the table/ the back seat. You having
to sit throught the torture of Gryffin
and I’s rendition of some Camp Rock
Classics.
Trey Helms: Carrying you down the
stairs in Germany.
Mrs. Otwell: My obnoxiously long
pledges.
Caroline Escue: You do know you
still owe me a Mount St. Nutty with
no almonds and extra walnuts?
Christine Ankrom: You made crosscountry bearable with your ditsyness
(not that being ditsy is a bad thing).
You cracked me up.
Will Guyton: “You look so good
today.” Gestures across the hall during
4th period.

GREG ST.CLAIR
Well, friends…we all knew this day
would eventually come. As a senior, it
is my duty and responsibility to write
a will that instructs my friends, and
Donoho, to accept trinkets that I feel
hold special meanings or memories
of years past. Unfortunately, there
is no possible way for me to leave
EVERYBODY
something…sorry.
However, to those that come to mind,
I leave the following:
Leslie, Mallory, and Mrs. Otwell: I
leave you my height!!! (you’ll grow
into it someday, never fear)
Alex Svenson: I simply say, “Hey,
Alex,” and hope you find a pal to greet
every day.
Katherine Westbrook: I leave you
the real world – to rule as you did with
Narnia.
Nicole Valle, Sally Barber, Christine
Ankrom, and Katie Mac: I really
don’t know what to leave y’all. Just
know that y’all are my “home girls” of
the Class of 2012! Rock On!
Junior Class Girls…and Barney:
One word: TWILIGHT!
Pink Little Guardian Angel (aka
Nisha Kashyap): Thanks for being
such a great friend this year! I leave
you happy memories from this year
and a sad, lonely person so that you
may cheer them up!!!
HiFi Society: I leave y’all in the hands
of underclassmen. Keep strong to our
principles and may you lift each other
up when times are hard.
BRYCE: I leave you my looks – so
that people will say you look like me or
Zach, and I leave you my trombone…
because you’ve mastered every other
instrument!
ZACH: I leave you my bedroom. May
you fix it up as you see fit – but always
know that I will need it for trips home
from college.
Ms. Wingo: I leave you an uncompleted
Jumble!!
…and
a
Crossword
Mrs. Senter: I leave you a messed-up
Cartesian diver…sorry.
Mrs. McCullars: Yo le dejo mis
hermanos. ¡Viva español!
And to all others not mentioned above,
thank you for befriending me and
sharing memories with me this year!
And lastly, to The Donoho School:
I thank you for giving me a quality
education and instilling in me the
desire to better myself in the world.
Thank you for your protection, friends,
faculty, love, and efforts to provide
others with a collegiate future! To
you, I leave the many students that
will enter your doors in pursuit of a
better education. May you succeed in
sharing your knowledge with them as
you once shared with me.

following people: Connell, you have
won the war, I admit defeat and you
can have my 2-ball you naggy-old
goat. Charis Athon, I am glad that I
got to know a little about you, it was
a pleasure to spend time with you
during our Germany intersession trip.
Diana Thompson, I leave thee with
abnormal happiness. Mrs. Perkins,
I am glad that I had you as a teacher,
for you had impounded into my brain
that the medulla oblongata is the
reason why alligators tend to be angry
creatures, enjoy your retirement. Ellen
Hardy, I would like to thank you for
being cheerful 24/7, your cheerfulness
has helped me to have the strength to
pass through the rough times in my
life. Pavan Mudiam, I’m sorry that I
couldn’t have met you more in person,
but I am glad that I have seen you in
person and talked with you. Mrs.
Gaines, I can not thank you enough
for helping me out through the endless
and confusing college applications
that I desperately needed help with.
You have not only helped me to find
the right college for me, but helped to
keep my sanity. Ben Coleman, I leave
you behind with untapped wisdom.
Zachary St.Clair, I leave you behind
with EXTREME ASIAN POWERS.
Kate Stedham, I leave you with
magic. Nicole Valle, I leave you with
cheer. Mrs. Senter, I am thankful
that I was able to have you for two
wonderful years, I have learned that

going out to prom with me. Coach
Felder, I will miss you terribly. Trey
Helms and Jon Story, you two have
made my trip to Germany one of the
greatest times of my life. I hope that
many people are able to see that you
two are some of the funniest people to
hang out with. Vinay Giri, I thought
that I would never in my life say this,
I am going to miss you buddy. Mrs.
Otwell, I have always considered you
as one of my most favorite people in the
world and I definitely miss you doing
your interpretation of the Golem from
the movie: Lord of the Rings. Nisha
Kashyap, I am going to miss you very
much for your unfrownable face that
has taught me to smile even there is
no reason to smile. Katie McLean,
I am going to miss you, I wish that I
could have hung out with you more,
but I am very thankful that I was able
to see that wonderful person you are.
Therefore, I leave you with the power
to DOMINATE. Mr. Charlie, I would
like to thank you for the numerous
times that you have unlocked the
school for me to retrieve my book,
notebook, lunch box, brain, etc. when
I forgot to take them with me as I left
school. Jack Lentjes, you are one of
the wittiest kids that I know, therefore
I grant you with the power of THE
magic finger. Mrs. Landrum, you are
the only teacher who has helped me to
see my artistic potential that I did not

circle. Melissa Patterson, no beating
up little kids missy. =0) Elizabeth

much. Mrs. McCullars, I have learned
a lot from your class. Also, I will never
forget the word “jugué” (pronounced:

And last but not the least, Daniel Kang,
I have only one favor to ask you. I want
you to make sure that the reputation
of KANG will be remembered and
honored throughout the ages of the
Donoho School. I am to leave behind
the awesome power of KANG to you,
wield it wisely. Remember to help
the weak, slay the evil one (Connell),
and restore harmony, peace, and order
to the Donoho School (at least try).
For you are the one who can do all of
this. You are the last warrior, I mean
student, who can retrieve the sacred
2-ball and return it to its former place
(in my room). I bet you didn’t see that
one coming, Connell, did you?

you shared this wonderful drive with
my brother and I and you showed me
some great music much like I like to
think I share great music to people.
So I am passing down to you the
great honor of being mister music.

attitude to you which I doubt you need
much more of. And I can’t say I have
seen someone take down so many
snack foods in one sitting. Kudos.
Esther Grubbe – Gumbee? Pokey?
Haha. You have been such a great
friend to me and you have helped me
through so much and I like to think
I’ve done the same. So I would like
to hand down to you my listening and

now with that comes the love and
passion for playing. I know that you
have it in you to be great so stick with it.

great that feeling is when you pick
on Eric? Well it is all yours now. I
