Best of Luck to the Class of 2014! The Green Wave Gazette Page 4 THE END OF THE BEGINNING A Poem by Ms. Pflaumer’s Senior Poets Nicole Harris, Cameron Reynolds and Samme Thompson (Patricia Pflaumer Photo) Joe Marella, Kevin Zdonek and Steve Bunszell I will not miss a place I never wanted to be But then again… Life‘s all about choices Speak of the devil For four years of 180 mornings We stepped on the Go Greenwave mats The feeling of feeling safe Never alone Inside looking out the big picture window The daily ―What‘s up, Buddy?” from Paul the Janitor The look of the ashy purple linoleum The lights that followed us down the middle of every hallway The sounds of the hallways where random lockers are not locked Down the broken stairs, chipped like broken teeth To the gym and the tease of the Coke machine Then to the Green Wave Café the delicious aroma of Cinnabons Beyond the first floor sculpture room where cold clay meets fire crackling kiln Stuck in a rut of routine Until the day we leave And the mice will play Four Years of Memories Marianna Porcello Contributor As school winds down, many seniors are looking forward to graduation. The lucky ones are finalizing their college decisions and tying up loose ends. Even though most of us complain about being here for six hours a day, there is a lot we will miss. We thought this was a good time to ask a few seniors what they will miss most about Abington High School. Kelly O’Brien Kelly O‘Brien I will miss the teachers who I have formed close relationships with. I‘ll miss seeing my friends everyday and being able to know everyone‘s name and having the comfort of knowing everyone is supporting me when things go wrong. Michael Manley I will miss some of the great teachers in this school who helped make this a fun place to go every now and then. I'll also miss the people because I've enjoyed most of their presences...usually. Abigail Magnussen I will definitely miss our athletic program the most. They have helped create memories that I will never forget. I‘ve learned things from coaches that have helped me grow as a player and person. Abigail Magnussen Ryan Mariano Geese, well, uhh, hmm; I'll definitely miss my teammates. Being on a team has been one of the best parts of high school. I will miss Green Wave Pride in general. It's amazing how such a small town can come together during traumatic times. From freshmen to senior year, I have always felt comfortable in these halls. Michael Manley and Ryan Mariano
