2012 senior section
DESCRIPTION
The senior section of the 2012 graduation issue of The Lion's Roar, the student newspaper of Newton South High School.TRANSCRIPT
Dear Readers,As we !nish up our !nal responsibilities on the paper — editing our last words,
designing our last pages — we would like to re"ect on this past volume. #ese re-sponsibilities, though sometimes overwhelming, have always been a privilege. Over the past year, we have had the privilege of working as Senior Sta$ of !e Lion’s Roar, and we feel lucky to have been able to provide you with a newspaper that, we hope, has piqued your interest at one point or another.
We began our year at the National Scholastic Press Association conference in Minneapolis, where we met thousands of other journalists and shared ideas, and which reinforced our pride in !e Roar. Almost all the other journalists put together their publications during a class in which they were graded for their work. At South, members of !e Roar and other publications spend their free time work-ing on their publication. Not only do these voluntary hours show how devoted each student is, but also how dedicated we are to voicing our opinions and contributing to our community.
Although the published newspaper is what readers see, we most cherish the process of putting the paper together. It was never quick; we consistently ended up working all night and into the morning before we sent the paper to the printer. Each time, we would try to be more e%cient, but those late nights led to some of our best memories. From brainstorming headlines to visually representing kids specializing in sports from a young age, we focused on the details of !e Roar to make sure it turned out just the way we wanted it to. When our parents woke up the morning of send-up, they would always be surprised to see each of us in the same positions we were in ten hours earlier, only now surrounded by empty Chinese food containers and piles of marked up proofs of pages.
We want to thank everyone who has contributed to the newspaper this year. Our advisers — Ashley Elpern, Brian Baron, #omas Murphy and Paul Estin — have always encouraged us, even through the late hours of the night. Our parents have given us the support — and the food — that we need to !nish each issue. Everyone on our sta$ — whether you wrote one opinions piece or extensive news articles every issue — has been invaluable. You have brought a variety of interests to the paper and have delved into diverse topics. We admire your enthusiasm and thank you for it.
But even if you were interviewed for one article; or if you picked up the paper on a Friday morning and glanced at the front-page story, !nding one quotation that interested you; or if you discovered a new viewpoint; or if you had a discussion in class or with your friends about an article, you made the paper great. You are the reason we continue to search for the most important topics to bring up in the community, for you have created a community receptive to discussing and thinking critically about these topics.
For all of us, the community aspect of !e Roar is valuable. We know we can always rest on the futon or grab a bite to eat from the mini fridge, or just come to room 1201 if we want to see a familiar face. We want everyone, from reporters to business managers, to feel this way, and we hope this feeling continues into the next volume.
We are con!dent that if anyone can create a warm, positive environment, it’s Volume 29. We are so proud of the work and the e$ort that our rising Senior Sta$ has put into the newspaper, and we hand the reins to them excited to see in what new directions they will guide !e Roar. Over this volume, we’ve o&en dug out old papers from our archives. When looking back at papers from !ve or even 15 years ago, we notice how much has changed, but also how much will never change. We on !e Roar will always strategize about how to !ll white space, try to make up clever “Join !e Roar!” boxes and feel emotional about series commas. We know that Volume 29 will make some great changes while always carrying on the true spirit of !e Roar.
#anks for everything, 2012!
Love, Volume 28 Senior Sta$Emily Breuer Danny Gi$ord Jessica Bolter

Adam Goldstein
!"#"$%&'()*+
Peter Haskin
Lauren Ashbrook
Jaclyn Freshman
Greg Ly
Always a burst of energy, Adam has a star personality and a winning smile. His devotion to Connections and the Inclusion program is exceeded only by his talent on the golf course.
Whether designing apparel or working on class events, Ridita always exhibits a jolly attitude, and she remains dedicated to each project she takes on.
Class of 2012’s Phi Beta Kappa and violin superstar, Jaclyn has it all. She’s a smartie and is most likely to succeed in whatever she strives for.
As president of the Class of 2012, Greg is not only a great leader but also an all-around good guy. His participation in the Asian Student Organization and Athletes Serving the Community demonstrates his wide range of interests and skills.
Peter displays his strong sense of leadership on both e Lion’s Roar and the volleyball team. He can be counted on for an energetic wave and smile in the hallway, and his devotion to the South community is evident. When she’s not building South’s own
garden, Lauren can be found acting and singing with South Stage. Her friendly attitude has made her a necessary pres-ence in the class.

june 7, 2012 11senior section
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I marked the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
Congratulations,Class of 2012!
With love fromThe Lion’s Roar
