Some classes as they exit the Drama Club are known for their size, others for their length of service—doing every show that is on the roster—and some are just known for the joy they bring to the shows they wish to do. That would be the Class of 2012. One who did what she could trying to juggle perform- ing, academics, internships and work—and trying to do all of them to the best of her abilities—no easy task. Another who brings nothing but pure energy and joy to the stage. Still an- other that brought her know-how and the ability to share that knowledge with others, some of whom had little or no idea what they were doing. Yet through hard work and persever- ence she had them operating like a well oiled machine. Not to mention she’s as cute as a button. Last but certainly not least, a gentleman who stole my heart the first day I saw him on stage at the intermediate school. We have been partners in crime since his first audition—the only senior that has done every production during his tenure at the high school. He put a smile on my face even as walls were tumbling around me. The sheer brilliance of his smile is worth a standing ovation. Hannah, Schwendy Meghan, Brielle and Brendan, you are astonishing! —
