La Cañada High School
Volume XXII Issue 10
Dear Class of 2012, This year, I had the privilege of serving my school and community in many respects: as the Senior Class President and Editor-inChief of the school newspaper. Over the past year, I’ve only been able to wear one hat at a time, but now as I write to you I can wear both. The past four years have not been easy for La Cañada High School and the Class of 2012 had to bear the brunt of the untimely changes. These changes, though seemingly painful, have made us resilient and prepared for the challenges and changes to come. This final issue of The Spartan is dedicated to every senior who has either consciously or unknowingly contributed to the spirit and reputation of the class of 2012. Class of 2012, on behalf of The Spartan, I would like to congratulate you on completing high school. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors in college and beyond.

It is difficult to find words that have not already been said, being that we are now the 47th class to graduate from La Cañada High School. However, let me assure you that the Class of 2012 is anything but typical. From how we chose to dress to where we are headed next year, it is easy to see the diversity and uniqueness that are common characteristics to our graduating class. Some of you have been my classmates for 10 years now, since I moved here in second grade. Some of you have been my friends since we all came together in middle school from the three elementary schools. A few of you have joined us just in the last few years on campus. Although we have been dreaming about it from the very first day of freshman year, it still feels surreal to be up here with all of you, wearing the caps and gowns that indicate an end to a chapter of our lives. A funny part of high school is that your friend groups change. I was lucky enough to become a part of the Bridge Peer Counseling class here on campus for my junior and senior years. This class has allowed me an opportunity to see the school in a different way, and to
be able to reconnect those people who felt isolated, back to the school and to the kids in their class. This is what has happened with the senior class of 2012. Though we have definitely had our issues with cliques and drama, this year our class has come together. Friends from freshman year are once again close friends, and people that have never had a class together before this year are now close friends too. There are memories here that will continue on with us as we move forward in life. Who could forget the absolute terror that Mr. V filled us with freshman year on the first day of class, and yet again junior year, for AP English? Who inspired us to become not only writers, but also critical thinkers (even though we were all convinced that he was a member of the mafia). Or perhaps the relief of the first day of school with his complete opposite, Mr. Cartnal, who donned a belt and tie every day to class from freshman year Honors Social Science to AP U.S. History junior year? Who not only was able to bring history to life in his classes, but also have so much care for his students and their personal success. These are just two examples of the truly

June 6, 2012 Good Morning Class of 2012! It was Winston Churchill who once said “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” “Success is not final” though we will have many victories and accomplish many things in life, the possibilities to succeed will always be endless. Remember being able to ride your bike for the first time with no training wheels. Or passing your drivers test. Everyday is a new success, a new accomplishment. As proven here today, we have accomplished success and it’s only the beginning. It seems that we all wear masks. Our masks protect us; they hide our fears, insecurities and most importantly our weaknesses. “Failure is not fatal”, not one person has ever died from a failure. It’s the failure to try that kills us in the end. We frequently fear the word failure, as we are about to start our journey through life the biggest question that runs through our head is “what if I shall fail?” Standing here right now I have accomplished two things. I have succeeded and have not failed. How amazing teachers on this campus who have made a profound difference in our education and our lives. And now they are telling us that we must say goodbye. That we must use these last few years as a path to guide us on to bigger and better thing. That we must leave LCHS right as we have began to rule the school. Like a child at Disneyland, we want to keep begging for just a little more time. To think that I won’t be able to see the same faces that I have become accustomed to seeing every day is sad. But the memories that we have shared –both the laughs and the tears, the arguments and the hugs – will never leave us. Next year some of us are going across the nation, or to different countries, or only across town, but we will always have the times we’ve shared in these hallways and staircases to bring us back together. I am told that greatness is measured by success. Even though success may be measured in many different ways, it is another common characteristic that applies to each of my fellow graduates. So to the class of 2012 – Congratulations, and may you continue to do great things. Wow, this day is finally here! The day we shake hands in parting with our 4-year companion, High School. The day we thank him for the courage he’s given us in our classes like Mr. Valissidi’s AP English class--I swear I’ve never felt more intimidated! nor... proud. It’s the day we thank High School for the wisdom he’s given us in our victories, but also our failures; for the sense of worth we’ve gained through the support of our piers and love of our friends; and also for the individuality he’s let us develop through these past few experimental years of our lives. High school has been a crucial period of self-discovery and self-Construction. High Schoolers are known to wear many hats. But there is a hat we’ve all worn together. A helmet to be precise: The Spartan Helmet. The Ancient Spartans took great pride in their military strength. They were warriors. Warriors strong at heart, brave in spirit, and skilled in battle so therefore revered among neighboring lands. Spartans fought a great deal of battles and celebrated a large number of victories. In training, these young soldiers-to-be endured exhausting physical exercises in strength, speed and endurance. Mentally, they were challenged as well. They were schooled in literature and poetry -- often focused on war to advance their familiarity & understanding of the battles yet to come. Their food was poor in nourishment and scanty in proportions. At the age of 12, after 5 years of this kind of grueling lifestyle in the barracks, the boys advanced to field training where they lived under open sky void of shelter and even apparel other than that on their backs. This next level of intense battle-preparation taught the young men survival skills &fieldcraft techniques first hand. Within the following 8 years, a young Spartan novice would have earned a title as Spartan Warrior. As we can see, the life of a Spartan is demanding, hard work, full of sacrifice, and it yielded the best.
may that be? One of my biggest fears and weakness is public speaking. I was never one to stand up in front of the class to speak. Or raise my hand during class to participate. I was always overwhelmed with my insecurities of failure and embarrassment if I answered the question incorrect. We all have fears, which can restrict us from experiencing life to its absolute fullest. However we shouldn’t let them. Someone once told me you can not go through life being afraid or you will not be able capture the full picture. It took me a while to realize it, but yes dad you were right, as always. The most important thing I have learned through my short time of life has been; when something bad happens you have three choices. You can allow it to define you, destroy you or let it strengthen you. A moment is all it can take for our lives to change. That is life it exists in moments. Anything can happen whenever an opportunity strikes take it. Sometimes it is the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. The best thing you can do is to take every moment head on. We cannot alter our present choices with previous
ones. Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up, it always ends the way it should be. Your mistakes will shape you into the person that you’ll become. You learn and grow from every experience or choice you make. Everything is worth it. Be you and be okay with it. “It is the courage to continue that counts.” It is fundamental in life to take the small defeats and push through them. Also putting forth your maximum effort is key to reaching success. People will always tell you what to do and what not to do. Don’t loose yourself for someone else’s idea of a perfect life. Sometimes when you feel like you have lost yourself, you should step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be. Always have the courage to follow your heart. If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place. Enjoy your last few moments of being seniors and get ready for a new beginning.

Photo by Jinny Choi My friends, we are Spartans. We’ve trained side by side in classes, fought together for academic, athletic and extra-curricular victories, and we’ve established long-lasting bonds that give us our own personal Spartan culture. Together we’ve prepared for the battles yet to come. The open field awaits us, full of new opportunities for learning and experiences for growing. Sure the runs wore us out, the drills drained our strength and some would even say the food was disappointing, but now we leave the barracks and head out! Battles loom in our future, but Spartans are known as victors. So congratulations, seniors! We’ve conquered high school. High Schoolers are known to wear many hats. But there is another hat we’ve all worn together. A crown to be precise: The Senior Crown. Ever since freshman year, seniors have graciously taught us the lesson of humility. But with every chance seniors took to reenforce this principle in our minds, it increased their prestige. They were--without a doubt--the Kings and Queens of high school. Seniors seemed untouchable, powerful, and nearly divine glowing with such maturity & wisdom. Whatever seniors said was law. We mere underclassmen couldn’t touch them in their glory. Senior year --the grand year of 2O12!!--- seemed ages away and all of its glamor even farther. But now that we’ve made it, it’s clear that our measly freshmen perception of high school royalty was not what we thought it to be--it’s better. Back then, there was no way to actually understand the liberation that comes with a license, or the gratification of passing courses deemed “impossible” or the excitement of tasting adulthood, or the friendships made with people you’d never expect, or the feeling of knowing you look HAWT on senior dress-up days! Senior year definitely comes with its perks! And with such royal privileges comes royal responsibility. We, the senior class of 2012,
have taken on the crown to run the kingdom of LCHS. Who else could T.P. juniors’ houses with such tasteful style as we girls did back in september? And who else could’ve brought down the house with our senior chant on toga day like we did in March? And who else could establish such friendships and harmony among the grade-levels like we have? And who else could throw a better year-long party before the world ends than we have this year?! So congratulations, seniors! We’ve ruled high school. High Schoolers are known to wear many hats. But there is a final hat we’re all wearing together. A cap to be precise: The Graduation Cap. The mountain of high school seemed insurmountable. With the way it loomed high above our heads casting its massive shadow over us, any dreams of standing atop it were surely ludicrous. But with each steep step, our legs strengthened. With each switchback behind us, our minds expanded. And with each cheer of our friends, the summit came into sight. My friends, we’ve conquered Mt. LCHS! As we stake our victory flag, a valley is revealed. It is the base of so many more mountains. They, too, seem just as daunting as high school once did, but you must remember to take a look at the flag behind you. It took determination and drive to raise that flag. You must also not forget the tools you’ve been equipped with. In your hand is a cane of zeal. On your back, a pack of wisdom and experience, though not yet nearly full, but sufficient. On your feet are strapped your boots of hope and purpose. Those mountains up ahead are not unsurpassable, intimidating maybe, but definitely achievable. Though we may be unsure of which mountains we’ll take on, you can bet our capacity for success will match them in size. So congratulations, seniors! We’re GRADUATING!
Graduation Speeches 3
June 6, 2012
Ben Levin and Will Orr will deliver their graduation addresses on June 13, 2012 Kyle Herron Today, today is the day. And there is no doubt that TODAY is a glorious DAY. A day filled with emotion, fervor, and an eager desire to step outside of the bounds of La Canada High School into a world that has anxiously awaited us. Yet, as I stand here humbled by this wonderful opportunity to speak to you all, I’m more nervous than I am anxious for what the future holds for me. It may seem cliché, but it truly does only seem like yesterday I took my first steps onto the ever-awaiting grounds of this school. I was shrouded in acne, filled with fear, and most importantly, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. High school is an interesting journey, where many of us find a sense of place, a sense of being, and a sense of identity of who we really are as people. So as I look upon the crowd that glistens before me, I realize I’m no longer standing before a group of adolescent high school kids, I’m standing before a group of mature young adults. A group who has intelligence beyond belief, artistry that challenges Picaso, athletes that have accomplished more than what anyone could predict, and people with a set of skills and talents that will go above and beyond what anyone could expect from us. So looking out into the Class of 2012 before me, I realize I’m standing in front of greatness! Yet, the challenge now set before us is to take that greatness, close the doors on our childhood, and go change a world that is continuing to change on us. But everybody tells us that, and has for years. We’ve been told how we are the future, we are the agents of change, we are the difference. But the reality is that the future is now, we are here, we have arrived. And yet, our time is limited, so I challenge you to not waste it living someone else’s life. Too often we worry in high school about those around us, so I say do not let the noise of others’ opinions take away from your own inner voice. Follow your heart, follow your intuition, and I expressly emphasize YOUR because YOU are what matters. Nobody can take away from you who you are, so always stay
Photo by Jinny Choi So, good news and bad news. The bad news is you have to listen to a graduation speech that’s not at graduation. The good news is I’ve decided not to romantically paraphrase the last 12 years of school for you. You all know that being a senior is all about living in the now. But, I’d like to think about the future and the success it will bring us. I doubt many of you actually know where your passions and talents will take you, but I do know everyone here wants to be successful. So for my speech I’d like to talk about success. It’s one of the only things our society values these days, and its what you’re going to judged by for the rest of your life. Some people say that the determinants of success are concrete, but I believe success is subjective and amorphous. As individuals, we value our own accomplishments differently. For example, for my friend Sam Reynolds, success might mean living the life of the party (LOTP), traveling from house party to house party until 5am. For Paul Cho it might mean staying awake for more than 45 minutes. But no matter how you achieve success, the patterns seen in it are all pretty much the same. One of the most important factors is your upbringing and this is often dispelled by the famous phrase: “It’s not about the cards you’re dealt; it’s how you play them.” Now, that SOUNDS good, but it’s actually false.
Because using that logic, if two people play their cards equally well, the one with the better cards will always win. Luckily, our upbringing has given us just about all the best cards possible – a great education, support from our peers, and role models to follow. Now, even though the “deck of cards” logic is flawed, it does bring up an important issue: the importance of making the most of our opportunities. Now let me give you a perfect example of this: every once and a while, my dear friend Will Swanson and I will play a friendly game of FIFA, the popular soccer video game. Now, because we’re talking about opportunity, I’d like to point out that every time we play, young William has the opportunity make it a close game, yet every time we play, he forgets to take it. If he did, he’d be much better off for it. Maybe he wouldn’t be sitting 20 rows out…right about where he shoots his PK’s. Yet Will’s bleak situation teaches us another important life lesson--a lot of things don’t come naturally, you have work at them. So, the moral of the story is pretty simple; you put the work in, you take your opportunities, and the success will build upon itself. Everyone here does that. Everyone here works hard. Having experienced the intellect and passion from those around me, I feel guaranteed there won’t be a single person here who
does not have the opportunity to be successful. However, let’s be honest and face an unfortunate reality. There’s a 99% chance that this class WONT have anyone who will change the world or anyone who will be successful on the world stage.--No JFK, no MLK, no Gandhi. So in that respect you can say we’re all doomed to relative mediocrity. But if you really look at it, these people’s legacies were made as a result of 3 things: the right time, the right message, and the right following. A whole lot of that is due to luck, but one thing isn’t. The fact that they STOOD UP and actually did what they did. For my senior quote, I picked something that didn’t necessarily apply to me, but it did mean a lot to me. Wayne Gretzky, the best hockey player of all time said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Every single successful person on the planet has one thing in common; they took a shot. And trust me, its not always as difficult as we might think. We’ve all done it…in some form or another (PLAS) party people try figuring that one out. So, I would like to conclude to my fellow seniors: Take the wonderful hand you have been dealt and play it well. You don’t need to be the smartest person, nor the most talented. Sometimes you just need to take your shot.
true to who you are at heart. There may be a mountain in front of us, there may be an economic crisis, there may be adulthood and responsibility knocking at our front door. But Class of 2012, I think the only true crisis that we really face is learning to live for the NOW. Too many of us are caught up in all of the future: college, degrees, jobs, housing, families and whatever else. I say, let’s put down our calendars for a moment and let’s live in the moment. Get out there and go for it, If we have these mountains to climb, I ask: why not be the first one to climb over it? Because even though planning for our future is a GREAT thing, living there is not – nothing really ever happens in the future. Whatever happens, happens now. So take action – every leader, every success, everything you’ve ever accomplished is a result of taking action. In the words of the illustrious scholar Bradley Withford, “You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life.” But with all this said, none of it means you should have an answer to what your life should be. We are in a stage of life where life is all about options. You don’t need to be in a rush to choose your life’s work. What you need to do is discover what you like. So many speakers are fired up on days like these to tell everyone to “chase their dreams.” And yet I realize many of us just aren’t sure what dream we should be chasing. Which is why I cast my net as wide as it can be, with no fear of failure. Because we’re going out there now, we’re going to do this thing called life. How you live matters. You’re going to fall down, but the world doesn’t care how many times you fall down, as long as it’s one fewer than the number of times you get back up. So you cannot let your life be defined by the things that don’t matter. Success will never be measured by a GPA, a salary, an award or anything else – success is knowing that we have the power to do anything we set our mind to, and that, in and of itself, can never be taken away from us.
So, like I’ve said, we are undoubtedly stepping into a world that anxiously awaits us to fix it. Every generation has faced its problems, and ours is no exception. Social Security will become bankrupt in our lifetimes, the country faces a monumental national debt, and millions worldwide are infected with all sorts of disease. It’s not really a matter of whether or not we will be challenged but rather how we will rise to the challenge. The last four years have prepared us every bit for what we are about to face, and our own compass has been developing for all this time. So trust it, take risks and dare to fail. It doesn’t have to be as drastic as ending wars or securing peace, but rather, becoming better people, better citizens, and managing our lives the way that we know they should be. But let’s step back for a movement, so much of the last four years have been dedicated to planning for the next four. So maybe just for today, the rest of this ceremony, we can sit here and enjoy the moment, because as we look back on the past four years, it becomes clear that time has gone by far too quickly. I can remember speaking in the 8th Grade Promotion and stating that I don’t know half of you half as well as I’d liked to; and I like half of you half as well as you deserve. Well now I can say with the utmost confidence, that I’ve personally gotten to know much more than half of you and I can say wholeheartedly that I love the Class of 2012. Each and every one of us will make an impact one way or another, I have no doubt about that. This world is just being introduced to us, so let’s go introduce ourselves to it. Lastly, I thank you for the privilege to be here. I thank the teachers who have brought us here. I thank the administration for trusting us here. And I thank my parents and all the other parents for making sure we made it here. So congratulations to every one of the beautiful people in this class. Let’s go make a difference. Thank you.

Why, Hello There, Dolly! By Sharon Han Spartan Staff
T
he All-School Musical this year was Hello Dolly! Although I was apprehensive about attending the first show, I went into the theatre with big expectations. With Meg Sanborn as the female lead, and Jeffrey Goldberg as the male lead, I knew that it had to be amazing. My hypothesis was correct, and I found myself laughing throughout the entirety of the show. Although the show is long, the time flew by due to outstanding performances by Megan Parrish, Robert Toms, Bryce Lourié, Willa Young, Ali Blake, Joseph Tran, Ben Levin, Maddi Fraser, and many other supporting characters. All the characters had amazing chemistry, and the light-hearted comedy really kept the show alive. The audience was fully engaged, and the chorus and orchestra/band all contributed to the production’s success. The characters
were perfect, and although there were tiny technical problems here and there, I’d say that the cast of Hello Dolly did a phenomenal job even though it was only their first night. The dancing, singing, and acting were all impeccable, and even if there were mistakes, the students thought quickly on their feet and were able to manipulate the scenes. Personally, one of my favorite scenes was when Dolly, Meg Sanborn’s character, began to stuff her face with food which made the audience tear-up with laughter. The comic relief throughout the production really made the show, and my initial fear of being bored was completely shut down by the hilarious musical. Bryce Lourié and Robert Toms were essential to the show, and their comedic abilities were definitely showcased. Lourié was a fantastic dancer, and I was shocked to see him flip across the stage. These individuals are really multi-talented and their abilities were shown through their excellent performances. When asked about how he felt about the show, Robert Toms re-
sponded, “It was a great experience, and I wouldn’t change anything about it.” Quite frankly, I wouldn’t have changed anything about the show myself. Not only was the show hilarious, but the singing and dancing were impeccable. Meg Sanborn’s clear soprano resonated throughout the theatre, and it gave me chills down my spine. Megan Parrish also gave a stellar performance, and her rendition of “Ribbons Down My Back,” left me with a smile on my face. The show clearly made a huge impact on her, “We all grew really close and we were all able to bond because we spent so much time together. I’m really going to miss the seniors,” Megan stated. The production exceeded my expectations, and the hard work of all of the students and teachers spent on the show really paid off. For a mere twenty dollars, audience members got to experience a live show put on by La Cañada’s finest, and the talented individuals were welcomed with a loud applause at the end of the show. Hello Dolly was a hit.
Bring Back the Valedictorian By C.C. Monroe
A
s the year winds down, we seniors are approaching our long awaited graduation ceremony, filled with sanguine singing, ear-piercing air horns, crying grandmothers and, most importantly, graduation speeches. At our High School, these memorable speeches are delivered by students chosen by a small panel of teachers, whose criteria for selection is known only within the elite group. I imagine good grammar and decent syntax are among one of the top necessities a speech must have, seeing as the panel consists of mainly English teachers. (For a good reason, may I add.) If this scenario does not run chills down your spine, I do not know what would. The mere thought of a small group of intelligent people making decisions for the rest of us is simply un-American.
The Spartan Staff
If you know your history, which I don’t, oligarchies tend to turn to autocracies. Pretty soon just one person will decide which speech lives and which speech dies. Now you may be thinking, “Why is this such a problem?” Well, having been to four graduations in my time, I can tell you I do not remember a single graduation speech. All the great commencement speeches that have been delivered in this world have been written by people with a lot of experience and wit. Sure a speech delivered by a teenager can be good, but it won’t be featured as a TED talk anytime soon. Therefore, if no one, except the addressers’ immediate family members, is going to remember the speech, why not let the person who has earned the privilege speak, instead of letting a
few teachers decide. “But who has earned it?” Easy: The valedictorian. That’s right; there is already a time-honored tradition in place that solves our most dreadful dilemma. Universities and elite high schools all over the country are electing their speakers in the most democratic way possible, by letting the market decide. What made this country great? It was a combination of a rule of law, a restrained government and a puritanical work ethic that fostered in Capitalism. “A man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7). Therefore, the student who worked the hardest in school should get his or her moment of fame, even if it is trivial in the long run. “But doesn’t having a valedictorian breed excessive competition that defeats the entire purpose of learning?”

First of all, the words “excessive” and “competition” should never be uttered in the same sentence. Second of all, so what? What is wrong with some competition? As long as there is a level playing field, the spoils should go to the victor. If a socialist is reading this, that last sentence is completely incomprehensible and at this point he should just put down this publication. But for all of those rational, level headed people out there, this should make sense. I should know; I am one of said persons. So if you are a moral, rational creature who believes in the free market and democracy, rise up and take your traditions back. Put an end to this archaic system of tyranny and restore La Cañada High School to its former glory by implementing the Valedictorian tradition.
