hout out to my one and only and Division 449 To my one and only — thank you for great years of high school you blessed me with. You have been through it all with me that all I would like to say is thank you! You have been the best girlfriend and my best friend. I wish you the best in college as well as I hope that we may attend the same college. I want to say I love you and you mean the world to me, shorty! Thank you for an amazing two years and six months. I love you. Your Pichon As for DIV 449 — thank you all as well for making my years in high school a hell of a time. From drama to having each other’s back to basketball. Classes with all of you were (mostly) never boring. I can honestly say I will miss you all. As to my best guy friend, Brian, I wish you best of luck in college, my bro. Hope our friendship doesn’t break off with the years!
just want to give a big shout out to Michelle Garcia, Michael Amaya, Anthony Lagunas, Luigi Del Col, and Lester Argueta for being such great friends for the past three years (Lester four years, ha ha). It’s been a blast ever since we all started talking and having classes together! I hope we all still keep in touch after we graduate. Wherever we may go, I will always be here for you guys and hope we will still hang out even though we will be going to different colleges. Congrats to you guys and to every senior that will be graduating class of 2014!

Thanks to friends and teachers By Silvia Rodriguez

o the Class of 2014 At first it was not easy to come to Steinmetz, I didn’t like it at first because it was known as a “BAD SCHOOL” but anyways had no other choose. The only thing I like was being in Honors classes. I guess that’s what made me feel “Cool”. In my freshman year I met Sergeant Yangas, at first he pushed me to be involved more in JROTC, in which now I am proud of myself in accomplishing this hard work, which I thank him. Then in my sophomore and junior years, a really tuff Sergeant was on my way, but at the end I considered him more than a Sergeant, because he taught me a lot of things besides even though he gave me a hard time , he also gives me memories to take and hold on to. I really appreciate for all the things he had helped me. I will always remember you and hope 2014 is not the last year to say goodbye. Sergeant Ruiz what can I say about you, you are a gentleman; I know that with you I can trust you, “Why?” Since day one, you showed me that you were honest, and a faithful man. Thank you for all the advice, and all the help. I also want to say thank you to Ms. Rivera, she is one of the best Spanish teacher there is. One thing I enjoyed was being able to know her more and share good memories. Also for all the advice and help. I will never forget Sammy, every morning seeing him in the hallways and yelling to one another, just to say Hi. I re-
member the first day we met each other it was really friendly while I was on my Freshman Orientation. He had me laughing. Thank you for making my days, and worrying about me during these four years! I want to thank for all the teachers that I had, I know it’s not easy to be a teacher, and I appreciate you for your service. I want to thank all my friends from Division 449, I know at first
we had a rough year but at the end everybody gets along which was a great idea to do. We manage to deal with one another. Special thanks to Gerald Mejia, Destiny Miranda, and Guadalupe Medina, for being in my life and supporting me in the good moments and bad moments. I love you guys and god bless you all. I hope we see each other in the summer!
