2015 Y e a r b o o k D e d ic a tio n The Class of 2015 has always been a mixture of different types of people and personalities. Even though we are a grade made up of a plethora of different archetypes, we have managed to forge a community inside the walls of Rutgers Prep. This community we have all grown to cherish would not have been created without the guidance and kindness of several faculty members. One individual stands out, however, because of the meaningful relationship he has made with the senior class over the years.

Not only do we know that Mr. Desai wants us to succeed, but we believe that we can because of him. He took the time to break down the intimidating fagade of a teacher, and offered us help and advice with almost every problem, whether math related or not. Not only has he helped us through tough math classes, but he has also inspired us to take his lessons from the classroom, and apply them out in the real world. His sense of humor has allowed us to get to know him as a person, not just our teacher, and makes him an approachable role model. The senior class of 2015 will not forget Mr. Desai, and all the skills he has given us for life beyond Prep. He has made an impact on our lives, and as we move on from Rutgers Prep, the lessons he taught us will lead us to become the successful people he knew we could be.

Thank you, The Class of 2015

Archana Ahlawat Archana Ahlawat "How did it get so late so soon?"

M om and Dad: I cannot thank you enough for raising me with the right values and mindset. I don't know what I would do without your constant support and love. Over the years, I've figured out that parents really ARE (usually) right, but that doesn't mean I'll always agree! ;) Thank you for always giving the best advice and keeping me grounded.

Aaditi: Even though you annoy me SO much and won't close my door all the way, I love you for being silly and forcing me to relax and laugh. I will miss you a lot and will constantly be checking up on you to make sure you’re working hard and not driving the family crazy!

Dadima, Nanima^cousins, aunts, uncles: You all have taught me to just focus on what is important. Being a part of our crazy family has given me a hard shell and too many life lessons. I nope that you'll revert to making fun of Aaditi when I'm in college!

JADE; Getting stuck in a pickle, the water being too cold, the bread and the pineapple being too sticky, misunderstood facial expressions, we've overcome a lot of challenges in our four years. Apologies ror my multiple annoying alarms that I never wake up to and to my overly serious moments. I'm pretty sure I'm in debt to the Archana Jar. Shipping sinking ships since 2011!

FOILing! I have loved every moment with you stupid smart people. May JADE live long and prosper. Jyotsna: JI A, I think we can agree. Thank you for waking me up at 1 AM (...or trying to), dealing with my indecisiveness, and always listening to my rants. Who else would understand Archana-speak? Depika; HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are insanely annoying, and yet you are hilarious and (substitute) God. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face, giving the best hugs, and being that constant ray of sunshine. Eumee: We are so different (except for our love of that candy store) and have too many meaningless debates about the meaning of life and how hipsters and preppies are really just the same people. I've enjoyed enlightening you on who our President is and that Alaska really is not next to Hawaii.

Eric: We're not even friends, just "intellectual acquaintances." Most of the time, I wish we agreed more, but who would I have all those intense debates with if we did?

Monica: You are one of the sweetest people I've met and know that I'll always have your back.

Marc: I love our telecommunication system and also hate that you read me so well. Analyzing HOC, ranting, and disagreeing as much as we agree has been so fun.

To all my wonderful friends, Deepika, Aja, Kayla, Dan, Emily, Aliza, Ivana: we've had so many laughs and silly conversations. I can't wait to see the great things you all do in the future. <3

17

Depika Anchaliya Mom & Dad: Thanks you guys for raising me these past 17 years! Idk what else to say other than I love you guys so much! You have done so much and I’m going to be so so so so so so home sick, I'll probably be back every weekend. So don’t say good-bye yet!

Old one: Ajaaaaaaaa Don't be stoooooooopid. Obviously I’m Merlin and you are Arthur. Which make you the side kick and not me. Lol. I really appreciate that you kept up with my crazy obsession for shows, like Merlin and Sherlock. Oh and I forgot when you become a famous lawyer I’m gonna need vou to give me a discount.

Nidhi: You are honestly my favorite junior!

Why are you so nice to people! I love your hugs too!!!! Oh and thanks for waking me up during model un and model congress and for going to that Indian restaurant with me. I would have never gone to the meetings if it weren’t for you. Lol. Enjoy your senior year!

Ill come back to give you hugs.

Sraghvi: 1love you!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the sleepover invitations but no thanks. I want to sleep in my room! Also, you are not allowed to take my room when I leave!!!! Try not to get to bored without me (you probably are not going to enjoy being an only child). You were the best sister ever and I'm going to miss you (probably more than mom and dad but shh don't tell them!) Don't forget to call me everyday!

Euinee: I AM NOT A THIRD GRADER GOSH!!!!! Did you not see me in your civ class? Anywho As you say so often, We are soul sister and I love how we can just look at each other (like in HIMYM) and read each others minds. For example: Abort mission, we are in a Pickle!, Bread (I saved you from the bread countless time), "AHHH pineapple turn around!!!, HIMYIM- nothing good happens after two am ., FRARY, BENNA(or KASH)- " I AM MORE THAN YOU'RE FRIEND, I AM YOUR QUEEN!’’, Anna Karenina- still need to work on that, Operation Cobra- can we still do that after Halloween? , Fluffy Unicorns- RIJN!, Have you been poking any squishy bears lately? Also our official logo is now: Shipping sinking ships since 2011. Although our tv show ship tend to work.

Oh and I would really like to thank you for teaching me the difference between either and neither and you should thank me for protecting you against people you are scared of, namely the juniors who stand in front of your locker. You better keep in touch after getting into college or I will hunt you down and kill you. <J.A.D.E> Archana: TIME OUT! I will say that for as long as I live. You peasant. Don't tell me what to. Oh ya and its time for you to get a life. WE NEED A LOGO ARCHANA. Idk why you insist that we don't have one. 1mean we are J.A.D.E after all and every group has a logo or symbol of somesorts. Also I won the election so obviously I’m in charge. You can’t make another speech after people have voted already!!!! Hey- going off on a tangent but can I call you Arc a na na? I mean do I really need to ask you? I can just call you that right? As your friend I have that privilege. Oh and we really need to finish Sorting people into houses. I think you are Hufflepuffy and I'm Gryffindorry. Well I'm glad that been settled. OMG WAIT DON'T MOVE-The water is cold. Jk. False alarm. JFK. We gotta play true American or our high school experience isn't complete. Oh and one more thing.

Jar. You probably did something really Archana-y while you read this... oh and one last thing. Any message I write to you without mentioning freshman year math class should not exist. So here I am mentioning freshman year that never happen. <J.A.D.E> oh p.s- *huggggggg*- in case I don't get to give you a hug in a very long time!

Monica: AHHHHHHHH can we just go to the same college? I’m still angry at you for Jyotsna: Aka substitute god. Because obviously I’m God. I bring happiness and miracles to randomly getting a puppy after SAT's. WHO people!!! That's what god does.... WAIT! I've figured it out. We are both Indian!!!! Which has a DOES THAT!!!! I want a puppy. Why can’t I just polytheistic religion, which means that we BOTH can be God!!! It’s solved!!!! So I want to thank go and get one! I can no longer speak to you. you for being the ONLY person who remember that my birthday every day. Gosh, it’s not even Lol. JK I <3 you! We gotta keep in touch after that hard to actually remember! Hey do you remember my seating chart! I think you were the getting into college. I will be very super angry if only person not in the first row to obey it! Oh and remember Doctor Who. Omg You know that you don't... I mean you know how I always get doctor who present you gave me for my birthday? Don't tell anyone but I sometimes play with really really angry. Oh and our lip-syncing the Doctor Who figures and make up my own episode! Lol. Oh also I really need to give you your videos. Dude we have to do one more before birthday present. Oops <J.A.D.E> the end of senior year!!!! Also I award you 1,000,000 cool points because you are you. P.sIvana, Emily, Dan, Kiki, Kayla: EXTERMINATE! DON’T BLINK! DOOOO WEE DOOOO! You are my Doctor who family!

Emily, I’m sorry for telling you who River Song is, 1promise that I might do it again. © Ivana I love how scared you get! 1might scare you on the staircase again lol! Dan, I think it was you who introduced me to Doctor Who. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT! Idk where I would have bee n if you had never done that!!! Kiki, Let have Kiki! Lol Omg on top of Doctor Who, Supernatural!!!

EEEEEEEEEKKKKKK ok. I’m done. Kayla, YOU CAN’T JUST WATCH DOCTOR WHO FROM THE END! AHHHHHHHHHH.

Ashley Avicolli Mom ~ ”Superheroes - The Script” To the smartest, most caring woman I know. I am so grateful for everything you have sacrificed in your life to provide me with so many amazing opportunities that enabled me discover who I am these past 18 years. You are beyond doubt the biggest supporter of all of my dreams, even the crazy ones. I only hope that one day I can be as wise and passionate as you are. I love you.

Leah ~ “Girlfriend - Icona Pop <&Oath - Cher Lloyd " Girl, these songs couldn’t describe us more.

You've been there through everything with me, all the way from our crazy partying to our midnight conversations about the meaning of life and boys. It’s just kind of crazy how we are the same person. I’ve never met a person more like myself in my life, no one who understand me better, no one better to call my true best friend. I’m going to miss you like crazy in college, Luv ya boo.

Jo, Beth, Ivana ~ “People Live Here - Rise Against” I could write paragraphs on the three of you, but this is a small space. I don’t need to say it, you guys know all of the amazing and crazy stuff we have done and survived together. There is no way I can thank you enough for all you have done for me throughout these past 4 years. Love you guys lots XOXO. Dan ~ “Shake It Off - Taylor Swift” Dude I’m going to miss you so sooo much. You’re my absolute best guy friend at prep. You give the best hugs, and I love how we are just crazy and extremely weird together all the time ahaha. I love how you have fully accepted me for the crazy and weird person I am, and on the other hand, we still manage to have intellectual conversations ahaa. The ambience surrounding you is always a fun, crazy, and wild one and we’ve done some pretty crazy shiiz and have amazing inside jokes that I hope I never ever forget about. You ALWAYS put a smile on my face, and I'm so glad I got to spend all of my hs days with you, bud. Loveee youuuuuuuu (: (; My Tennis Sisters - “ Clique- Kanye ft. Big Sean & Jay Z” #DiVarsity. Ain’t nobody fresherrrr. The song really sums it all up. I loved being apart of a team who all loved each other and where we all cared about each other and just could be our crazy, BAD-A, wild-selves and who used all that passion to completely dominate our opponents together. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls, really <3333 love youuuuu allll Mer, Matt, Seps, Ty - “ Wiggle - Jason Derulo ft. Snoop Dog” I am most grateful this year to you guys, my newest best friends, for making my Senior year full of constant fun, laughter, and adventure that I will always cherish You are all so unique in your own fun and special way and I absolutely love all of you for that and am going to miss you guy so much when I go off to college.

Joe- 1 always look up to you and 1 couldn’t have asked for a better role model and big brother.

Alanna- From the beginning I truly saw you as a sister, the memories that we have together are something that I will cherish forever. I have no idea what I’m going to do without you next year! I wish you the best of luck! Love you. Evan- You’ve been a huge part of my life and have given me memories that I will always remember. I wish you the best of luck at Lynchburg next year!

Aja Ceesay

Mains: I'm not sure what I will do without you next year. I could not ask for a better mother because there isn't one. Thank you for putting up with me and always being there.

Baba: Thanks for always encouraging me to be the best possible me . You arc always there to help me whether it is a math problem, my essays, or something bigger. You do so much for me and 1 appreciate it.

To my brothers : Paefeou- Your humor is something that reaches me even when 1 don't want it to. MoThank you for your constant encouragement. Your words always give me the confidence to pursue my dreams and achieve my goals. Mbemba- You constantly force me to be a better student, athlete, and human being. Your tough love is not always wanted but it is always needed.

Malvika: You arc one o f the best human beings 1 know. You kindness and generosity is never ending.

When 1 say that 1 would not have made it to senior year without you. I'm not exaggerating. You are always there when things get tough. Being separated from you will be a massive adjustment.

To my friends: Going through high school would have been extremely dull without you guys. When we arc together the laughter never stops. I'm not sure what I'm going to do without you guys to lighten the mood when things get complicated and look blc3k.

To my coaches: You have shown me what hard work can achieve. You are always supportive and force me to push m yself further and further. Thank you for teaching me what it means to keep going even when it hurls.

Mom and Dad: Thanks for putting up with me for the past 18 years!

I'm so grateful for everything you've done and for loving me no m atter what. I don't know where I’m headed from here, but whatever happens, I know you'll be there for me. Thanks for believing in me! Come visit me a lot!

And now these three remain: faith, hone and love. But the greatest of these is love. -1 Corinthians 13:13 Joshua: Thank you for being my best friend through everything for the past 6 years! You've taught me to look at life so differently, and I would never be the person that 1 am without you. I’ll miss you so much, and don’t be surprised if I call you everyday! I love you so much!!!

Jecca: If you say goodbye to me tonight, there would still be music left to write. What else could 1 do? I'm so inspired by you. That hasn’t happened for the longest time. What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you? Cause it's you and me, moving at the speed of light into eternity. If w hat we had was real, how could you be fine? So how could I dance with another. When I saw you standing there.

Cause it's gotta be you, only you. JECCAAAA what am I going to do without you! You have to call me everyday! Okay? Okay.

Depika: We need to write Anna Karenina. Can you hide me from the bread? We’re in a pickle! The w ater is cold. AHH pineapple! Frary and Benna are life. Operation Cobra after lunch? Yo, small gangster children. Fluffy unicorns aint fluffy unicorns. Bus? Ships ships ships.

Gang members #3 and #4. Math. Egypt. 10 cool points. Mind reading? You’re in 3rd grade right? Vday. Depika you are my soul sister.

Actually, I take that back. We are the same person. I’m going to miss you sooooo much! Thanks for everything and I love you!! JADE <3 Jyotsna: You’ve actually been the nicest friend ever since 5th grade! We were always the ones who would rather sleep than go out and do social things (Ew. 1know). I really, really hope you love your college, and I know you’ll do great! Make sure to buy some campus maps and try to be social! Ha, I kid. You know that I'll be waiting for you in our hobo house with our cats, so give me a call anytime! Love you!!

JADE <3 Archana: Why are we even friends. We disagree on everything including the meaning of life, religion, hipsters vs. preppies, housewives, music, and politics. But I guess that’s why I love you. Thanks for going through all those classes with me and supporting me through everything! These four years would have never been the same if I hadn't decided to be friends with that crazy Mexican girl from my chem class. Don’t forget to visit me after you become president of the world!

To School Council: For the past four years Council has been much more than just a club meeting on B and E Days. It has been an opportunity for me to work with people I would never expect to work with, to do such great things for our community. Special shout-out to Exec Council (Ashley, Danny, Andres, and Joe) and Faculty (Mr. Avella, Ms. Dutta, and Ms. Glennon). Throughout the years I have developed as a leader and learned so much from all of you and this whole experience. Thank you!... Move to Adjourn...

Jyotsna Grandhi Amma & Daddy: Thank you both for putting up with me and giving me everything I asked for and more. I couldn't think of better parents than you two. Not only do you give the best advice and fix all my problems, you are my friends too! I'm going to miss drinking coke with Amma and getting away with sleeping with my glasses on with Daddy. Also, try to not get too crazy when I'm gone, and you better not drink too much coffee Daddy!

Akka: Even though I make fun of your oldness and complain about doing things for you, you are the best sister ever. Even after you went to college, you still managed to help me whenever I was stressed out. I love it when you come to visit because you always bring me chocolate (I hate the piskuing though) and I have someone to help me deal with our crazy parents and make fun of their weird quirks. Basically, I just love you! <3 Tetali Family: I have known you since I was two years old, and since then you have been my second family. It still feels like yesterday when Akhila and I were planning our secret tunnel that connected our houses or even the day Anagha was born and her head was the size of my palm. I'm going to miss coming over randomly for dinner, but I'll try to visit as much as I can!

Aida, Aja, Aliza, Anna, Emily, Ivana, Kiki: Even though we aren't always talking to each other, I know I can always count on you guys to make me laugh. You always seem to be doing something weird, and it's nice to feel like the normal one from time to time. I hope you all have a good time in college, and don't forget to keep in touch!

Alyssa, Ashley, Bethany, Daniel, Eric, Jina, Kayla, Landon, Monica: Thank you for letting me embrace my nerdiness. I always know that whenever I want to obsess over the most ridiculous things, I can always count on you guys to jump right in. I wish you all the best of luck in all that you do, and don't ever lose your silly side!

Archana, Depika, Eumee: Thank you guys for being my friends so I don't look like a loser! Even though we've been friends throughout high school, I don't think we became that close until we formed JADE this year. Through Archana's and Eumee's debates about the perfect guy and Depika's cool point system, we've had some pretty awesome times.

Archana - Eww. Just kidding. I love you so much, and thank you for putting up with my complaining.

I know we all make fun of you sometimes (okay, a lot), but without you we wouldn't get anything done. You have been a great best friend, whether it's been encouraging me to take a stand or being my nap buddy after school. While I'm not going to miss waking you up (because everyone knows how much of a nightmare that is), I am going to miss all the articles we send to each other and our discussions on practically everything. Depika - You are the most bubbly person I know, and I love it! You always get me pumped up, and I know I can count on your magic hugs when I'm feeling down. You always speak your mind and brighten everyone's day, and I hope you take all of this with you to college and spread it to others. I love talking to you about T.V. shows because you get so excited and it's really funny! Also, we share a special bond because of our godly powers, and as a gift I am giving you the full­ time position of God. Oh, and I almost forgot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Eumee - Even though you're last, I've known you the longest. Apparently I was your first friend, but everyone knows we don't have any friends. I remember when our moms used to force us to go to parties, and we would be so miserable. But now look at us; we have 3 friends!!

I'm going to miss your Bob joke and your sticker craze and our late night "studying" (until we give up and just watch Netflix). Unfortunately, our dream of becoming hobos and eating cats didn't work out, so before we go to college we need to take a How to Have Human Interaction class (and you might want to take a geography lesson or two too).

AND you better talk to us after going off to college, or I will hunt you down and find you because I am God.

Many people have helped me to get to the place where I am and I truly feel thrilled. A big thank you to my mom, dad, and brother who have always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my dreams and to build the life I want. To my brother, Ali, I love you. You have always been the best big brother and my best friend. To my mother, thank you for your encouragement. You have inspired me to try to be a better person every day and to follow what I love.

To my father, who has always been there for me, my best supporter and friend, thank you. To Parisa, my aunt, you are amazing, humorous, inspirational, and a great person and I cannot wait to see you again. To my aunts, uncles, and grandparents, you are amazing. And to my host families, Griffins and Gharavis, and to Rutgers Prep, thank you. You are the best. You are my second family and love you just like my own family. And I feel blessed for having you all as my family. I am very honored and lucky to have you all. All of you make me feel the most proud of myself. Love you all and thank you.

Follow your heart and do not ever let anything mislead you from following your dreams. Life has ups and downs and the beauty is that you get to find your own way to deal with different challenges. The beauty is that there is no special formula to success. You will be successful and satisfied by doing what you believe in and what you love. To me, life is like soccer! You improve your skills in order to score more goals and ultimately, to win more games. Find what you love and follow your dreams. And always remember that gratitude reciprocates and always be respectful.

Work hard, keep improving, keep scoring, and be the best you can!

To my mother: Thanks mom, for everything you have done for me. I know that I may have acted as if I was some kind of ungrateful twit, but I fully and truly appreciate all of your help and support. I have always tried my hardest to make you proud, and I hope I have succeeded in doing so.

To my father: Thanks dad, for everything you have done for me. While you weren’t here to support me most of the time, I know that you were working to make sure that I would be able to go to college, and for that I am eternally grateful.

To my brother: Big T. Timbo Slice. The Boss. And many other names that I can’t even remember. We have been bitter rivals for the past 17 years, but I feel that these past few months have made us realize that life isn’t the same without your sibling. Hope you continue to have fun at Kenyon.

To my grandparents and extended family: Even though you all live 4000 miles away from me I have always felt your love. Thank you To my teachers: Thank you for providing me with an excellent education. I honestly could not have asked for a better education.

To my cats: Meow.

Shout out to all my friends. That is all.

It’s crazy how I still remember my first days of school here.

Now, 14 years later, I’m anticipating my last days of school here.

Kill it it in high school<3 (annoy mom and dad for me) Shaily and Radhika: I would not have been able to get through high school without you both. From our inside jokes to our lunch runs and heart to hearts... WE MADE IT!! I’m going to miss all of this when we go to college, but it’s okay because I know we will be this close for a long time. Love you both so much<3

Radhika Patel Dad: 1 cannot even begin to thank you for all you have done for me.

You have never said no to anything 1 want and fulfilled my wildest dreams without even thinking twice. High school has been a bumpy road but we have gotten through it and you have never given up on me. Thanks for being the most understanding person in my life. 1 will always be Daddy's girl no matter what. I love you so much.

Mom: "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."

You are the only person 1 can get angry at and know at the end of the day you will always want the best for me. Once again, I cannot begin : to thank you for everything you have done. Whether it's driving me to all my dance practices or just taking me everywhere 1 want to go. You go above and beyond your capacity to make sure I am on the right track. . I’m going to miss you so much when I go to college because I will have to do everything you do for me by myself. Thank you for reminding me that a couple of bad decisions do not make a bad person and life itself contains a lot of beauty. I love you.

Ankush: You are single-handedly the most annoying person on earth but I would not trade you for anyone. Thank you for always taking my side during arguments and being supportive. I’m going to miss being a goofball with you so much when I go to college.

Good Luck with the rest of high school and I love you too.

Khusbu and Akash: I am beyond blessed to have my Aunt and Uncle as my best friends. You guys are everything to me and all that I I hope to become. You two have always been on my side and only wish the best for me. You have fought all my battles and showed th me to look at the brighter side. I love you two so much and I will always be your little princess.

■ Shaily and Mansi: I do not even know where to begin with you two. I ’m at a loss of words to even begin to start describing our friendship. I, once again, cannot thank you two enough for always being there for me. Shaily, we have had almost every single class together since freshmen year. We are a tag team. I ’m going to miss not being with you every single minute of every single day. You have been there for me during my roughest times and always have supported me. I love how we can just take our anger out on each other without worrying about anything or fight and know an hour later w e’re going to be laughing once again. Mansi, you have always been there for me and told me not to worry because things always get better. You have the ability to make someone feel worth it and always want the best for me. I know I can count on you for anything and you won’t let me down. Like Shaily, we can fight and be laughing the next minute. I absolutely love how I can be myself around you. You two are my sisters. I don’t know what I am going to do next year when I can’t see you two everyday but I know that even at 40, we are still going to be just as close. I love you guys so much.

Swetha: You are like my little sister I never had. I wish you the best with Senior Year and I will miss you so much when I am in college. Love you.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven" 1

Dear Family, it is nearly impossible to describe the meaning you each have to me, but at least I can try to by appreciating what I cherish most. Rana you're an annoying little sister, but you're also my best friend. I love how we always act like 3 year olds when we are together and that is something that will never change no matter how old we actually are. Salma, you're only 3 so I love you and by the time you read this I will be old and you'll probably make fun of me for it, but that's ok since I'll know plenty to embarrass you with from when you were a baby. Mom and Dad you two are amazing. You have made sacrifices to provide me with what I have and for that I will love you both forever. You have been my role models and I hope I can put as much effort into everything I do as you have raising me and my sisters. Lastly to my family as a whole thank you for putting up with me, and my compulsion to annoy you guys to show you my love.

“Who wants to know All that is gold is rusting No one will know When seasons cease to ehange and: How far we've gone How far we're going It's the here and the now And the love for the sound Of the moments that keep us moving— --------- Waves crash along The battered, lonely lighthouse Tomorrow she's gone And if not, someday somehow Are these hands a waste Well this side of mortality is Scaring me to death To death” -Temper Trap

"I be tossin', enforcin', my style is awesome, I'm causin' more Family Feuds than Richard Dawson!"

Eric Zhang

Mom and Dad: I love you guys so much, even if I didn't act like it all the time. I deeply appreciate the sacrifices you made; paying the tuition and driving me there back, to allow me to come to this school.

I know it wasn't easy making them, and I'll always be in debt.

Hopefully I used this opportunity well and made you guys proud.

You've been the best parents I could've asked for, and I'm going to miss you in college.

Alex: Awesome times in Sax and AcademicTeam! You're been one of my closest friends for all of high school, and I'm going to our good talks © Go GoT! Angie: Sax has been great the last three years, and even though I didn't do it this year we're still awesome friends. Study hall buddies! AA Dan: You're an awesome person and great fun to be around, especially when Landon shows us something weird.

Landon: You're usually pretty annoying but I guess in the end you're alright. I might actually miss you. :\ Depika: You're great fun to be around, and you've given more than a couple laughs, especially when you jump scare people from the staircase Eumee: It's been fun sharing classes and study halls with you! Thanks for letting me steal candy from your locker this year, and hopefully you won't forget about all of us.

Archana: Thanks for tolerating me and being my intellectual acquaintance for almost all of high school. But in all seriousness you're a good friend of mine, and I do find the articles you send interesting even if I act otherwise.

Jyostna: Thanks for watching over me and forcing me to do stuff. It's been really great being friends with you and I'll try not to be too depressed in college.

Monica: We've been through some rough times together, but we've gotten through them and I can say that you're my closest friend. I've loved being with you through high school. Stay in touch after college and beyond. © I'm sure we'll have more good times to come.

Sorry if I've missed anyone, there are too many awesome people at this school to count. ©

"Hold tight and pretend it's a p lan !"

-The Doctor

To M om a n d D a d - 1 know that I can be difficult at times... well, all the time seems more like it.

Thank you for believing in me and loving me nonetheless. I love you both so much.

To m y b r o th e r , V icto r- Thank you for being the amazing little brother that you are. You always keep me on my feet and never fail to impress me with your extensive knowledge on your latest obsession. Keep at it; I'm always here for you.

To K ik i- Can you believe it's been 11 years?! And I haven't driven you insane yet. (I'm impressed haha.) Thank you for always being there for me. I don't know where I’d be without you. Words fail to describe our friendship. These 11 years were brilliant and there will be more brilliant years to come. I loves you so much <3 To A n d r e a - Our inside jokes back in middle school were absolutely insane. And when high school came around, we had -1 classes together, but that didn’t stop us. It made us closer than ever. And I am grateful for that (except for the no classes part). Buffalos forever <3 Love you.

To M a r g a r e t- Our 5 hour Skype calls never fail to make my day (even when we sit in complete silence). Despite going to different schools, we make it work. I know wouldn't have been able to survive high school w ithout you and our trips to the mall for bubble tea. Thanks for everything <3 To m y te a c h e r s - Thank you so much for your guidance and support. I wouldn’t be the person I am right now if it w eren't for you all.

To m y f r ie n d s - Do I even need to say it? Well, I'll say it anyways. I love you guys! Thank you for being a part of my life and for making my day that much brighter with your beautiful smiles. Good luck in wherever life takes you.

You all complete me <3

Mr. Shifman joined the faculty at Rutgers Prep in 1983, an alum who returned to teach math class in the Middle School. You can do the math on that, but he’s been here for a while. His time at Rutgers Prep is best measured not in terms of the years that he’s been here, but in terms of the many things his students have learned.

In his time at RPS, Mr. Shifman has taught Middle School math and science. He’s helped coach a winning Upper School girl’s basketball team, and he’s organized Miniweek courses on topics like fishing and electronics. He’s got a knack for understanding the big picture and makes it seem easy to organize a Middle School schedule. He’s been a student advisor and currently has a homeroom in the 7th grade.

He understands the number game that is American sports and knows his way around a horse race.

His students know that he likes math and enjoys the process of deciphering a problem.

He teaches them to do the same.

In Middle School math, everyone has a BFF. It’s not the traditional BFF of text messages or notes handed to a friend under the desk. This BFF is no secret; it’s right there on every your page of your math homework notes. Your middle school BFF is Mr. Shifman’s BFF........best form and function.

Mr. Shifman’s BFF will unravel confusion and make even the most complicated problem one that can be tackled a piece at a time.

The Shifman math class system is elegantly simple: learn an idea, practice that concept, enrich it and give it greater meaning. Repeat and then add on. By the time the year has ended, Mr. Shifman’s math students have mastered a lot. It’s not simply that his students are ready for the night’s homework assignments, though they are. It’s not simply that his students are ready for the next quiz or test, though they are. It’s not simply that his students are ready for the next math class by the end of the school year, though they most certainly are. The Mr. Shifman system ensures that students are given the opportunity to take command of their learning. He shows students what they can accomplish with math and then steps back to admire their achievements.

3

For his good humor, his well-organized student-centered lessons, and the ways he cares about all the things that make student learning a success, we dedicate the 2014-2015 Middle School to Mr. Matthew Shifman.

Joey its hard to believe the day has come for you to graduate.

It seems like yesterday when you entered Rutgers Prep in 2002 for your first day of Mrs. Ochs kindergarten class. She announced to the parents “I now present the class ot 2015!” Well here we are.

G raduation day June 7th, 2015 and our baby is taking his next big step on his journey ot life. Joey, just so it’s perfectly dear, you are not the “oops” baby. You were the family s gift and blessing. From the day you were born your older brothers and sister placed you in the center of the sibling stage. They always claimed you were the “favorite” sibling. Maria: The confidante, the defense lawyer and the advisor for the matters of the heart. Michael & Anthony: the tutors, the soccer coaches, the Batta­ glia boys’ snow team and the tough stuff.

Phis certainly made our jobs as parents a bit easier. Ethics, morals, respect, tradi­ tion, love and la tamiglia have always been the foundation of who you are.You in turn rewarded us by being more m a­ ture, more understanding ot people’s feelings and such a wonderful warn and loving child. We’re so proud of the young man you’ve become. Don’t ever lose the deep and genuine feelings for others because it’s what defines you as a person. You learned that everything doesn’t always go your way - that life is hard and unfair, but the way you handle adversity is as important - maybe m ore im portant - than the way you handle success.

Our advice is to w ork hard, play hard but never lose your center of gravity. Never lose who you are as an individual and know that every one of us -y o u r mother, your father your sister and brothers are so proud of who you turned out to be.

As you move into the next phase of your life, don’t forget what got you here. As you move into the future, know that all the new places, new friends and the wonderful opportunities await you. Take full advantage of those opportunities and life will be grand. Challenge yourself, set goals, have high hopes because you can do anything you set your m ind to and your dreams will come true.

May God bless and watch over you always. May your toughest days be all behind you and your happiest experiences a fingertip away.

Michael; Joe, You've come a long way since getting your diaper changed in front of my 7th grade class! G ood luck, Best Man. Look forward to living in SC together next year.

Maria; From my first baby to my partner in crime.

I'm gonna miss you next year, but I'm excited for you to start this next chapter if your life.

Just rem em ber team Joey all the way!!

Anthony; There is so much I can say about you reaching this milestone of your life, but let's keep it short. It has been a joy watching you grow up into the young m an you are. Just remember, it’s never a bad time for the of pasta fagioli. Love you, and ev­ erything that you have become. Go get that college edumacation.

We love you very m uch...congratulations!

Mon & Dad
