Curtain Call

By: Aimee Jack

As I sat down to write this article, I suddenly realized that it would be the last I ever write for the Blue Blaze. "In a way," I thought," this is a bit like leaving a legacy." Think about it, seniors. What tangible effect are we going to leave for the upcoming classes? Chances are, the majority of us haven't committed acts of vandalism and "autographed" any bathroom stalls, nor have we painted anything on the walls, we hope... Oh, granted the classes now will remember us, but in a few years everyone will have moved on and not remember the glorious class of 2000.

I am proud to have been a writer for the Blue Blaze since my sophomore year. My area of "expertise" usually centered around the drama club activities, because theater is my heart and soul, and attempts at humor in the form of Top 10 lists and editorials. The Blue Blaze allowed me to express my opinion in many different ways, a fact of which I am exremely grateful.

Leaving the hallowed halls of LHS is a little bit like leaving my childhood behind. Unlike many of my classmates suffering from the common sydrome known as "senioritis", I am not looking forward to losing a cherished part of me and having my whole life change. I wanted to express my thanks to all of the people who have helped me grow and change throughout my four years here. I especially want to thank my teachers. All of them. Without you, I would not be the person I am today. My passion for learning was ignited by the enthusiasm you showed for your subject and I express my sincere thanks.

So, as I say goodbye, I only ask that you fondly remember the class of 2000 and know that I treasure my time with you and will always hold your memories dear.
