COMMUNITY LIFE by Christopher Kuckelman - Class of 2009

It is so hard to believe that the school year ends this week. After so much work studying and all of good times have ended for another year. This was my freshman year. It is now over. No longer am I the low man on the totem pole.

After graduating from ACES last year my class and I were so happy to move on to the wonderful school of Maur Hill- Mount Academy. We couldn?t wait for our freshman year. It is now gone. However, those wonderful memories will never leave me.

For instance the Sadie Hawkins were StuCo had a fake wedding chapel and everyone married as many people as they could in one night. So many people had all of their finger covered in the rings. It was awesome marrying my sister?s best friend just to see her reaction that was priceless.

State Championship was another thing that was just a wonderful experience and still I?m so happy that I made it. The feeling that my school had the best 3A basketball team in the state. It was priceless. The crowd was great. I had never watched a basketball game so intensely. Let?s just hope we can pull it off in both baseball and then next year in basketball again.

Forensics was also very successful. 19 students qualified for state and went to Wichita. Everyone can attest that we did have a wonderful time.

The Christmas banquet is another event that I hope comes again. Before Christmas break every year the whole school has a large feast, after all we are one big family. The teachers served us and after the feast, when we went back to get our cars, a bunch of us freshmen and sophomores had a snow ball fight. It was so much fun to just sit down, relax and talk about everything in the first semester with my friends before finals.

Then no student will ever forget Mr. Forge. He is one great teacher and tolerates so much. We have so much fun with him though. So many great memories are in his science lab. From his sinks over flowing after a student made a water fall with his Bunsen burner tube, a rubber stopper, and his beakers. We came back to the room and it was overflowing. Then a lot of students ?found? their niche when he taught us to bend glass over the Bunsen burners. We would make different designs and try melting them together.

Those are just some fond memories from the last year that will remain with me the rest of my life. And hopefully in the years to come my class of ?09 will be just as successful and continue to have fun.
