FOREWORD Congratulations to the Greyhound Class of 2018!

As you prepare to leave Carmel High School, take time to reflect on the memories you have made over the last four years. The joyful times that elevated you, the disappointments that left you feeling defeated, the challenges that escorted doubt into your mind, and—now— the finish line that you have so long awaited have all served to prepare you for life after high school.

Celebrate this accomplishment with those you love. Thank those peers, teachers, and family members who stood by you, who gave you a nudge to keep going, and who believed

in you. Those are the people who helped you grow into the person you are today, and those are the people who you will remember as you venture into the future.

The entire staff of Carmel High School is proud of your dedication and your accomplishments. We look forward to following your journey as you impact the world. Remember to always give your best, to look for the best in others, and to take care of yourself. Each of you—like those before you— are now Greyhound Alumni. We are grateful for your legacy and for your contributions to the traditions of Carmel High School.

What's your favorite memory from your time at CHS? During first semester this year, my friends and I attended the Vanderbilt Model U.N. field trip, and overall it was a good learning experience. But, surprisingly, one of the best parts of the trip was when my friend broke her back, and we were just left stranded on the sidewalk of the campus for quite awhile. We ended up spending time out of our committees for the day, and we just hung out on campus before help arrived. Thankfully, she ended up being perfectly fine in the end, and looking back it now, it’s just a very great moment to look back on and laugh at. We grew even closer as friends and met some fantastic students along the way.

Ellen (Ellie) Clark One of my favorite moments ever from high school was when I clinched the State title for our tennis team against Cathedral during freshman year. I just remember the atmosphere being so intense that day, especially since I had never beaten the girl that I was playing before. Also, I never experienced as big of a crowd as I did during that match, and the fact that it was so loud made everything worse. Going into the match, I was so nervous, but as soon as I walked out onto the court, I just focused on the match and played my best tennis.

Kiersten Carlson In my AP World History class during freshman year, one of my friends and I were making random, loud monkey noises for no specific reason. The reaction of our teacher was perfect; we were called baboons in front of the whole class. It was just a really fun moment where my whole class could just share a laugh together. I feel like sometimes school can get almost too serious, and so I definitely cherish memories like this where everyone can just enjoy themselves and the environment around them.

“What I’m going to miss most about Carmel is honestly Yearbook and the people on Yearbook staff.

They have made my high school career so much better and so much more entertaining, and I’m going to miss them the most.”

Faith Emmons

“Definitely my friends. That’s the obvious one, especially because I’m going to a university where there’s only one other person from CHS going there this year, and so I’m not going to see a lot of the people that I know now for probably forever.”

Patrick Simpson

“I’m going to miss the culture that there is here because there’s sort of a sense of pride in being a Greyhound, and that was really something that helped me do my work and do it well.”

Sofia Herrera

“The thing I’m going to miss most about Carmel are the teachers here, because they work so hard to help students, especially when you’re struggling, and they really do care about our lives.”

Madison Rosen

Junior Ariana Zdobylak & senior Sydney Fox “I’ll probably miss just the upbeatness (Sydney) brings to the program; it’s kind of hard to stay up, and she’s always the person to make a joke or bring people up when they’re feeling down. I think just the lightheartedness that she brings is what I’m going to miss the most, especially me being the only senior (on the team) next year. It’s going to be hard, but I know she did a really great job this year.”

Freshman Anjali Natarajan & senior Hannah Glazier “(Natalie’s) told me that the little things don’t matter as much as I think they do and that I should just not overstress about situations that could easily be avoided.

Junior Joey Gutierrez (right)

“(Hannah) kind of took me under her wing and has shown me all the different opportunities and different activities this school has to offer. And she’s such a funny and nice person (to be around).

She’s always got something quirky to say, and if I’m in a bad mood or something not so good has happened, she still always knows how to cheer me up.”

What would you say is the main factor that contributed to you running at a college level?

“I’ve loved running since I got into high school; I didn’t like it so much in eighth grade, I thought it hurt a lot.

But when I met all the people that I hang out with, I met my best friends in running so I grew to love the sport a lot because I got to hang out with them and then I eventually got better at it as time progressed. I just have this love for the sport so I knew it was something I wanted to keep doing past high school.”

LAUREN LEMONDS

What was the main motivating KEELAN factor in you continuing to run? “(I want to keep running) just to see how good I can get, just that feeling of getting better after every race or every practice, knowing that you can be better than you were the week before is just an awesome feeling.”

Do you think you’re going to continue running indefinitely?

“I think I’m going to continue running no matter what. However far college takes me, I think running is just a thing that I love and is something I will probably do for as long as I can.”

Why did you decide to continue playing tennis at a college level?

“In my freshman year, I realized that you could get a full ride as a female athlete, that really motivated me.

(Getting a full ride) really expands your horizon to where you can look to go to school so you normally have to go in-state but (with a full ride) you don’t have to really worry about costs.”

Will you continue playing indefinitely?

“I’ll probably take some time off after college, but then get back into it.”

Dear Grace, You are my best friend; every good memory I have, we shared.

It’s hard to imagine what college is going to be like without you next year. I am going to miss you so much more than I can put into words. You have always been there for me through every first day of school, and it is hard to imagine being apart for one of the biggest. You have been my biggest supporter and my rock throughout high school, and I can never thank you enough.

You inspire me to be a better person because your happy energy and attitude is contagious. I don’t know what I am going to do next year without you, but I also know that distance will not impact how close we are. I am so excited for you, and I know that Purdue is the right place for you. I can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish next year.

I love you so much.

Love, Lucy

Dear Lucy, I joke that the five minutes before you were born were the best five minutes of my life, but I think we both know that isn’t true. I can’t remember a time when you weren’t with me, there to share the experiences that have shaped my life. Growing up with you has been full of laughter, arguments and the constant asking of, “You guys are twins?” I could not have asked for a more amazing sister, or a better twin ...

You’ve been my safety net, the person that kept me from being nervous when we went into new situations because I knew you were going to be there with me. I don’t know what I’m going to do next year at college without you, but at least you won’t be able to steal my clothes anymore. I know you’re going to be amazing and successful in anything you do, and I want you to know that I’m going to be there for you, even though we’re going to colleges that are exactly 178.8 miles apart.

Love, Grace

Senior Julianna Kessilyas and her brother, sophomore Elias Kessilyas Dear Julianna, Although you annoy me sometimes—by sometimes, I mean all the time—I wish you nothing but the best for you in the future. Thank you for preparing me for high school and helping me get past all the obstacles that I come across in my life. I also want to thank you for driving me everywhere for the past couple of years.

I wouldn’t ask for a better older sister than you. The house will be much quieter without you here all the time, but I know you will be doing great things in college. I am so proud of you for getting to this major chapter in your life and going onto pursue your dream career. I love you and will miss you. Have fun in college!

Senior Min Hua Li and her brothers, sophomore Zhi Li and 28-year-old Sean Li Hey sis, You are a very unique individual, that once you set your mind to something, you’ll follow through with it with devotion. You always bring a smile to my face, like when you get all cheerful because you get to eat sweets such as the infamous macarons that you love. I’m going to be very lonely without you around. I’m really going to miss having such a great sister around the house next year.

Adieu, your lil bro Zhi

To me, you will always be my little sister, no matter how many more years pass or how far you are from home ... As the years have continued to pass with each season since you were born, I can still vividly recall going to the hospital for the first time, seeing the cute little bundle with puffy eyes. I also recall this certain someone having a cry that could send sonic waves throughout the house. As you continue on with your journey through life, be proud of who you are, all that you have and will accomplish, and for crying out loud—keep making waves.

Much love, Your big bro, Sean

Q&A with Prom Queen Kacey Mullens and Prom King Diego AranaGomez

Rebecca is a photo editor. She will be attending IU next fall.

How did you feel when you found out you and Diego AranaGomez had been nominated for Prom Court?

Kacey Mullens: Honestly, to me it felt kind of comical, because I just never really saw myself being nominated for prom court. I kind of like laughed at the lady when she told me that (Diego and I) were nominated.

Diego AranaGomez: I was just really surprised, because I honestly wasn’t expecting it. Even though there were people campaigning for me, (winning) was still kind of unexpected still.

When you found out you had won, what were your initial thoughts and reaction?

KM: I guess shock, again. I don’t know...out of all the people who were on prom court, me and Diego just seemed like the least likely people to win.

DA: I still didn’t believe it when I was being crowned, it all happened so fast.

Any advice for the underclassmen who wish to be nominated

and to win the title of Prom Queen for their year?

KM: I would say just ask your friends to vote for you. In my case, everyone in my SRT just didn’t know who to nominate for court when the ballots came

DISTINGUISHED Q&A with Distinguished Graduate Rachael Tan How did you find out you were the Distinguished Grad?

I was handed a pink slip (during fourth period). To be honest, I was kind of scared because usually pink slips mean not good things....So I went down and sat (in the main office), and then Dr. Harmas invited me inside.

We sat down, he asked me my future plans and then he was like “Oh! How would you like to know that you are the Distinguished Grad?”

What was your initial reaction when you found out you were the Distinguished Grad?

I was just straight up in disbelief, and then I got home and was like “Oh my god,”...but I’m excited and very honored to be it.

Was Distinguished Grad a goal you had through high school?

It didn’t really occur to me as something until maybe around junior year...

out, so they just wrote down Diego and me, like “Oh, it will be super funny,” and we ended up getting nominated.

DA: Just have good friends who will campaign with you and a nice girl as your date.

when I was thinking about activities...So at that point I was like ‘Oh, that’s a thing, maybe I should apply for it and see how far I’ve gotten.’

What advice do you have for others who hope to be the Distinguished Grad?

I guess being Distinguished Grad isn’t an award I would necessarily say to strive for. I think, by all means, challenge yourself to do new things and try them out, but if you participate in an activity with the sole purpose to be Distinguished Grad, you need to rethink your priorities...Do what you like first.

Do you feel like this award means more to you because your brother, Patrick Tan ‘14, also got it?

I think it’s kind of cool, just because this is almost kind of in a sense

dear freshman year me You’ve made it to high school. After haphazardly attempting to follow the maps handed out at orientation to get to all of your classes, you wonder how you will be able to balance it all. The difficult classes, the seemingly hundreds of flyers passed out at frosh rock and, most of all, not being familiar with your home for the next four years is a concept that makes you just a bit uncomfortable. Thankfully, after that first week, you do find that you get into the rhythm of things and, gradually, begin to grasp what being a Greyhound truly means.

Yet the road you will take over the next four years will not be one without bumps. At times, you will find classes to be much more difficult than you imagined. You will feel as if balancing all of your extracurriculars along with your academics induces a bit more stress than you anticipated. However, during these times, you will find that not only your peers and relationships you form at Carmel will help you withstand difficulties, but also serve as your personal cheer team during your triumphs as well. So don’t be afraid to just keep on going.

For every one of those unanticipated moments of difficulty, there are lots of other moments you will continue to cherish. Whether it’s simply belting out a childhood classic on a car ride with your friends or just walking down the dreaded trail every afternoon, soon you will yearning for a little more time here. Although it may seem easy to continue fostering relationships you had in middle school, don’t be afraid to meet new people as well. That girl who you timidly introduced yourself to on the first day of track practice may just become one of your closest friends. So initiate that first conversation.

Invite over the girl who you sit next to in English. You won’t regret the power of a simple introduction.

Immersing yourself in the Greyhound community, you

will find your home in the countless amount of organizations available to you. You will learn early on that the activities you are truly passionate about are those that you will continue to devote countless hours. Don’t be afraid to quit things you don’t find it enjoyable, and spend time on those activities that you do—you may be surprised by the end result. That newspaper staff you joined on a whim? You will find that to be one of your most important activities of high school experience.

Go to every sporting event, tailgate, concert, fundraiser and any other activity sponsored by Carmel that you can. Go all out for Homecoming spirit days; there’s only one week a year where you can play dress up, with school pride on your side. Don’t be afraid to try new things; there won’t be any other time in your life to immerse yourself in so many opportunities. Put yourself out there.

Amid all of this, cherish the moments you spend with your family as well. Although sitting in 90 degree heat watching a U9 soccer game may not be your ideal Saturday morning, you will find these little moments—and the many more you make with your family—incredibly fulfilling later on.

Over these next four years, remember you are beyond accomplished and will continue to do great things throughout your time at Carmel. Although there will be bumps along the road, know that some of the best memories of your life will be made here and live everyday day knowing and embodying that crazy and amazing thing called being a Greyhound.

I most definitely will continue to do so as well.

Free Yourself In high school, it can seem like everyone has their life figured out. But at 18, I’m still not completely sure of my place in this world. Believe it or not, the world expands beyond the halls of CHS. Really. So if you ever find yourself thinking that you don’t fit in you’re not alone. It’s ok if you haven’t found yourself yet.

When I entered high school, I wanted to impress everyone. I felt like I had to fit into a box. As a result, I started hanging around people who were very different from me, and I couldn’t really be myself around them. I realized that this person I was becoming wasn’t me, and this led to one of my biggest regrets in high school: I wish I would’ve taken the time to allow others to see me, and for me to see myself.

There is so much joy in being yourself. I know it sounds cliche, but it feels so freeing. You don’t have to hide behind a fake personality just to fit in with others.

For me, as a black woman, being yourself can come with

stereotypes, and that was one of my main concerns as a student at this school. However, I learned I couldn’t let ignorant biases of others control my life. High school has taught me that others’ thoughts shouldn’t be the focus of your life.

People have told me that they “found themselves” in high school. While for some people this may be true, I still haven’t really found my true place To that end, it is unfair to give teenagers the task of discovering themselves in such a short time. While in high school, I discovered certain parts about myself. I learned that procrastination is my worst enemy and that my perfectionist mentality can be damaging to my overall mental health—but I didn’t find out about myself as a whole. High school can be intimidating, but it is just a small slice of how the real world will be. Trust the process, you will find yourself eventually.

As I look back on my high school experience, an overwhelming number of memories floods my brain—both good and bad. Of course I remember all the late-night cramming sessions, near mental breakdowns, getting jostled around in crowded hallways and other typical high school problems. But more than that, I remember the good things. I remember getting my first role in a CHS show. I remember attending Homecoming games with my friends and dressing up for spirit days. I remember feeling like an absolute princess on prom night. I remember laughing with my friends until it hurt.

I can’t help but ask myself if there was more I could’ve done, if I could’ve made a bigger difference or done more to make myself happy or gotten better grades junior year. But when I look back, I realize that everything I went through in high school—the good, the bad and even the horribly ugly—made me the person I am now. Everything that happened to me in high school taught me more about myself and

who I want to be. It’s made me a more confident and independent person.

While I can’t say that I will miss everything, I do think it’s important to recognize that even our lowest of lows in these four years serve a purpose and make us stronger and more ready to go off and live our own lives. Live your life in high school to the best of your ability, and don’t beat yourself up for mistakes. They happen to everyone, especially in high-pressure environments, which CHS certainly can be. Know that someday you’ll look back on it and realize that it served you well. So when you look back on high school, remember the things that were good and the lessons you learned. Don’t focus too much on the negatives and grow them into regrets. Be kind to yourself in these four years, and don’t sweat it too much. No matter what happens, you’ll learn, you’ll grow and you will move on.
