We asked some Seniors to share their favorite moment or memory from their high school years. Here are some of the responses: Sandra Graves: My favorite memory is when the Seniors won the lip sync this year and I was part of it. C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s G r a d s ! Thomas Reid: Going to all the FFA contests and hanging out with friends and meeting new people. Brandon Ingram: My freshman year, for lip sync. I danced around in my diapers in front of everybody. Jake Smith: My two most favorite moments would have to be my senior prom. It was great having one last night together with all my friends. My other favorite moment was when Trash, McCoy, Blake, Kyle Bohannon, and Megan got stuck out at Bowman’s Bottoms for 2 hours and were finally helped out by some guys from Carbondale. Jessica Baity: Going on TP adventures with Lacey, Christy and Falon and Lacey and I borrowing yard ornaments. Melissa Ballard: It was when Travis V. was selling fish at Marion Wal-Mart, and also the birth of Evan. Dusty Jones: Kyle jumping in the lake at Shawnee College. Drew Wilkins: The day Kyle Bohannon jumped in the lake! All the baseball days and going to Marion with Blake and watching him try to hurl in the bank parking lot. Clayton Penrod: I most enjoyed Senior Prom. It was the best because I had all my friends around me and Leslie beside me. Jacob Stevens: My favorite memory is when Darren Obourn and I went to Special Olympics and won medals. Brian Rushing: When JILG went to Camp Ondesonk on the challenge course. And Chase and Trey climb up he zip line like it was nothing, and Chase slipped off the step while Ashley had trouble standing on the pole. But the funny things about that is she came back and started hitting Chase and Trey. Beth Kreuter: My most memorable moment was performing our last dance routine at Senior Night against Goreville. Lacey Simmons: My favorite memory would be all the TP-ing adventures with Christy, Jess, Falon, and Jessica Baity smashing her had in the Driver’s Ed car and running into a trash can. Amber Ellison: My most favorite moment was my freshman year when I met the man of my dreams Christian. My favorite memory is when I went to my first Prom.

Robbie Reeder: When Sarita kissed me for the first time in Freshman hall in front of Mr. Reichert’s classroom. Travis Verkamman: I don’t really have a favorite memory but my favorite part of high school would be my Senior year basketball team and all the memories that cam along with it and all the new and great friends I’ve made.
