The TROJAN TORCH T E U S S I R O I N E HE S Volume92//Issue10 JenksHighSchoolNewspaper May2012 2 1 S K N E J IGH OL R A E Y R H CHSEO O NI S GoodbyesPage2 Senior Staff Goodbyes Rachel Campbell For the past four years, my future beyond high school has been constantly teasing me, dangling like a carrot before my bright, eager eyes. And now that college is within my grasp, I have a difficult time reaching to take it. How have I grown accustomed to this seemingly eternal purgatory of secondary education? The only answer I can fathom is that the memories I have made behind these walls have emotionally tethered me to this place. And as much as I hate to admit it, cutting the rope will hurt a bit. It feels as if every friend I’ve gained and every experience I’ve had is slowly slipping away. It’s as if I’ve hit the reset button on my life and I will be forced to start over. However, as I cross the stage and snatch my fake diploma, I will do so unhindered and with no regrets. Every moment, every class, every life I’ve touched and every life that has touched me contributes to the person I am today and the person I’ll grow to be in the future. In the words of C.S. Lewis, “Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.” Erica Engelby “Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after a moment or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.” -Richard Bach The biggest thing that frightens me about graduating high school is the fact that I’ll be moving on into the unknown and leaving a lot of close friends behind. And although I am exited to be leaving for this next chapter of my life, I can not help but reflect on the memorable times I have had here at Jenks High School. They say that as you approach the end, you start thinking a lot about the beginning. I never realized how true this was until I started preparing for graduation. While I’m finalizing plans for college in August, I start to look back on all the little things I am going to miss about high school. I’ll miss performing at the high school football games on Friday nights. I’ll miss seeing all of my friends everyday. But most of all, I’ll just miss the familiarity of Jenks and the comforting feeling I get while walking these halls. Thank you for the memories and stay classy Jenks High School. Annie Roach All I have to say is, it’s about time. I’ve been ready for graduation since the end of freshman year and to finally be here is a dream come true. While Jenks has been a good middle passage between childhood and being a legal adult, I’m ready to leave the restricting rules and regulations behind and enjoy life to the fullest, not having to worry whether or not I remembered my school ID. If I’ve fantasized about anything sitting in these dull classrooms day after day, it’s been moving upward and onward. I’m ready to get out of here and get my life started. Living in this bubble in the middle of Oklahoma has made me fidgety, and I’m ready to see what the rest of the world has to offer outside of these borders. Jenks and the people in it have matured me and taught me not only how to be a true friend to those I love, but how to gracefully handle those I don’t. I feel so blessed that I have had these few years to spend with you, my classmates, and can’t wait to see where we all end up. For now, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes... “Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.” --Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium Cam Thomas Four years have come and gone, and as much as I have anticipated graduation for the last 3 years, as the date approaches my emotions are becoming more varied. I am a creature of habit, and the idea of not coming to this school Monday-Friday is slightly daunting. Also, the idea that I will have to reestablish myself to so many new people is very intimidating. Although leaving Jenks High School is nerve-wracking, it is also very exciting. This is the beginning of a new life. No longer will I have to sit through classes which have no relationship to my future career, I can learn about what I truly want to learn about. The flexibility and freedom of college is also very exciting, no more waking up incredibly early. As I sit on the stage on the evening of May 21, I will reminisce about how good Jenks High School has been to me. I will think of all the memories, all the good times, all the lessons learned, and friends made. Finally, when my name is called and I walk across the stage in front of friends, family, and lots of strangers, I will be leaving Jenks High School behind and moving on to a new stage. Senior Staff Goodbyes Madison Reichert Dear fellow graduates and the rest of Jenks High School: It’s been real. I can’t think of a better place to have spent the past four years of my life. The wonderful people I have come to know play a major part in who I am today. Even though there is no possible way to keep in touch with everyone for the rest of my life, these friendships will stay in my heart forever. I will miss everything about high school. The teachers, clubs, sports, musicals, and people. The idea of being on my own is quite thrilling, but living at home is pretty great. Underclassmen: School rules are very important. They create structure. Follow them and you won’t have any problems. Remember that you can never be overdressed or overeducated. I take so much pride and confidence in the solid group of people that will be surrounding me in maroon gowns on May 21st. As we scatter into the world and go our separate ways, each of us will use our talents and ambitions to make a difference and live out our purpose. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams and I am beyond excited to see what it holds for our graduating class of 2012. Rachel Lampi It’s extremely difficult to comprehend graduation. For nearly eighteen years of my life, it’s been something completely beyond me - one of those “big kid” things that will happen to you someday, but not anytime soon. It’s the same sort of feeling that came along with being a teenager, and getting my driver’s license, and interviewing for my first job. So when did I grow up, exactly? Because I think I missed it somewhere along the way. I can’t honestly say that I’ve loved every minute here (because really, who enjoys getting a random drug test, or taking a math quiz you completely forgot to study for?), but for the most part, I’ve had a great time here. My teachers might never know how much they’ve inspired me, and my friends might never know how much they’ve encouraged me - but I’ll remember, and that’s what counts. Going to Norman and starting classes at OU in the fall is a little nerve-wracking, but I’m also looking forward to it, because being on this newswriting team - being a student at this school - has more than prepared me for the task ahead. Life’s a book, and it’s time to write my next chapter! GoodbyesPage3 Natalie Miller Hello friends of Jenks High School! As I sit here to write this I cannot believe that graduation is right around the corner. I still remember walking through the doors on the first day of school Freshman year thinking that it would be so long until we all left this place. That seems like yesterday now. When I look back on my time spent at this school, yes there were ups and downs, but I can honestly say that I have had an amazing four years. I could not be more thankful for the people that I have met here and I know that many of them have shaped me into who I am today. The memories from this place will last a lifetime and it really does make me sad to leave. I believe Jenks High School is filled with some of the kindest, most talented, ambitious people, and I cannot wait to turn on the television one day in the future, see someone being awarded for an incredible talent, act, or good deed, and say that I went to high school with them. Graduation day will be filled with so many emotions; excitement, sadness, and maybe even a little fear, but I can honestly say that I could not be prouder to be a part of this class, school, and legacy. Amy Pritt Oh Jenks High School. What can I reminisce about my four years here...the id’s, the crowded hallways, the pda couples aligned against the walls? As seniors, do we really want to dwell over the memories of what high school “could have been” or how high school will “totes be missed forever”? Honestly, I could not be more ecstatic to graduate and to create a new indention for my future. The world is awaiting our juvenile footsteps to implant the earth with our talents. High school was no doubt an experience with its ups and downs, but at the end of the day it is what lies ahead in the future that should linger in our minds. After we graduate, each individual will disperse all around the country. Most of these people we will never see again in our lives. The ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, and ex-best friends will all be footsteps in the dust, whether you’re on good or even bad terms with them. There is no rewinding to change the past. We have lived high school and are moving forward to bigger and better things that will be granted to us in this unknown future of ours. Goodbye Jenks, hello world.

The Matrix is released in theaters K life Independents Rachel Lampi Annie Roach VS GR CollegeLifePage6 As the senior population of Jenks heads for college, there is a lot of talk about whether or not to plug into Greek life at the multiple campuses our students will soon be inhabiting. While being an independent shows a level of strength and automatic diversity, joining a sorority or fraternity seems to be the best choice. In joining a house on campus, students are not only open to a whole new group of people, they automatically have somewhere they belong and can seek council as well as friendships. While many think Greek life is just partying, becoming part of this community also includes philanthropic events coupled with helping out locally. Almost every pledge class has required study hours, so by joining a freshman automatically learns what it takes to prepare for each class along with everyone else in their pledge class. Greek creates a feeling of unity and pride not only for your school, but the house you have become a part of. It’s pretty nice to go to college and automatically have a new group of friends and people to hang out with, whether casually or at a mixer or other type of event. In joining a house you also get a “big,” or upperclassmen who takes you under their wing to watch out for you and take care of you. Benefits of Greek? Automatic social life, upperclassmen friends, philanthropy, study time, test files (we all know every house has one), and community. What’s not to love? GO GREEK! Looking at popular culture, it’s pretty easy to see how the Greek life appeals to so many people, especially firsttime college students. It’s an instant connection to other students, and with all the activities Greek life has going for it, it seems like the best way to keep your social calendar as packed as possible. But should we feel pressured to rush a fraternity or sorority? Many people seem to feel that without Greek life, you’re just going to be wandering about the campus, friendless and alone with only your textbooks and lectures for company. What some don’t realize is just how vast the fish pond is, and how easy it is to get to know people. You don’t have to be a part of Greek life to join one of hundreds of clubs many universities offer, tailored for any interest. At OU alone there are intramural sports teams, Hogwarts on Campus - even a Dr. Pepper appreciation club. And all welcome new members no matter where they live or what they’re majoring in! There are pressures involved with fraternities and sororities, too. Avoiding rushing can help alleviate these stresses and make the college transition flow a bit more smoothly, at a pace more suited to the student. Greek life is not for everyone, and you shouldn’t feel as though you have to rush into one. There are plenty of ways to get involved at your university, and people just waiting to talk to you - so have fun and get involved!
