MEMORIES

OF THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR

“The most impactful moment for me this year was the musical, Matilda. The musical this year was impactful for me because I was able to make new friends and strengthen previous friendships through rehearsals and having that bond of creating a show together. I got a newfound appreciation for all of the work people put in for these shows because I saw how important it was to everyone and just how much they were willing to work towards this common goal. It was such a fun experience and I am very grateful I was given the opportunity to be a part of this production.” Photo by Trinity MacKenzie.

“In September, FFA had their fall social and it was a great way to meet the underclassman and connect with people in the club. As an officer, it was super fun being able to show the new members what FFA is. We had a lot of fun activites there like bouncy houses and live music.” Photo Contributed.

“The most impactful thing for me this year was the football season. For me as a player, I think just going to semi state was impactful for the juniors, and it was the best motivation to do it next year. It was the most impactful for us to try to be state champions next year.” Cassidy Hayes.

“I joined unified track this year, a few friends of mine told me to try it out for fun. And at every meet I’ve gone to, I have never seen a group of people more excited, or more enthusiastic. Everyone is always smiling and cheering each other on. There is just kindness to be spread and laughter all around. It’s definitely left a huge impact on my year because Photo by Lauren Kopka.

A Moment With Meghan

AP Art student Meghan Dickinson took almost 5 months to finish her award-winning painting. Dickinson not only paints, but also specializes in jewelry making and has taken both classes as well.

BEE’S BEADS

Rebecca “Bee” Seiter took about four months to complete this painting of sequences, buttons, and beads. “I get bored pretty easily when I’m making art,” Seiter said “so it was hard to stay focused.” What was the inspiration for such a beautiful piece?

“I just like beads.” Seiter said.

PAINTING IN SOMEONE ELSE’S SHOES

Some of the artworks near the CCA were created by the Peer Tutors, students who aid the Exceptional Learners, who used unorthodox methods such as painting with the brush in their mouth or pushing in pins without using their thumbs. “We were mimicking what it would be like to have a disability,” Kyndra Layman said. “It was harder than I expected. you can really see every step taken to make the picture.”

“My favorite part is the moments we as performers get to have with each other on stage. for a lot of the show, there are only two of us on stage, and the connection established between us is indescribable.”

“I think the props and the others crew have adapted to such an intimate show by having more time to connect to other Thespian members. The people you are working with in Thespian shows at HSE Drama strive highly in efficiency, kindness and talent in their work.”
