By Diandra Pezzano, senior The time has come , for the last issue the class of 201 4 will ever publish. Reflecting on our time at SMH, it's important to remember the good times we all had with one another. From semi formals to the black light dance, powderpuff to the championships basketball game at the garden. We have had a lot go on in our four years at SMH , and in a few days it comes to an end . "I will talking with my group of friends about mega important topics" , said Alyse Diamantides, the editor of the newspaper. "I will miss planning for events like the black light dance and the fan buses for the sporting events", said Michael Hayward , section editor of the sports section. As the years have gone by we have seen seniors come and go, now it's the class of 201 4 time to graduate. We have some of the most smartest and talented people in our grade. We have definitely left a legacy on SMH. We will probably look back on our high school career and laugh, all the problems we had and all the projects we stressed over , we will realize that these issues were not important. We could even grow apart from our friends that we made here, or we could still be friends with them 20 years from now. Whatever happens , we will never forget our memorable time here at SMH. Once we receive our diplomas and turn the tassel to the other side of the cape, we are done with high school, done with childhood, and onto bigger and better things. Get ready college, cause here we come! Senior Michael Hawyard flaunting his college style! Photo by: Diandra Pezzano, senior " We got into college!" . Picture here is the board of college acceptances that the class of 201 4 got into. The first choice the seniors put on the card is the place they are going to attend in the fall. By Diandra Pezzano,senior 2 Entertainment Mascots Pride By Christina Mignosa, Senior Now that every senior has made their final decision on which school they will be attending next fall, it's time they find some new school spirit. A lot of students will be attending schools with mascots, something SMH does not have. Mascots are a funny idea when really thought about. Some kid dresses up in a massive stuffed animal essentially and dances around, trying to make people excited. Each school has their own design, original and creative. In the early 1 900s, colleges often had live animals as their mascots. This slowly morphed into the mascots we know today. According to collegestats.org, UCONNs mascot, which is a live husky named Jonathan, has a pretty interesting history. "The 1 3 live mascots at UC have had a rough go since being selected to represent the school in 1 934. The very first Jonathan — named for Gov. Jonathan Trumbull of the Revolutionary War era — was run over by a car just a day after being named. Jonathan VI met the same fate, just two months after hitting campus in 1 964. Jonathan IX (also known as Jonathan X due to a numbering discrepancy) was also killed by a car, and Jonathan VII was nearly sold in 1 970 as the students College Mascot! felt he 'represented the establishment.' However, there Photo by: Christian Mignosa have also been good moments, like when Jonathan II chased Brown’s live bear up a tree, and Jonathan IV grabbed Yale’s Handsome Dan by the nose in their first meeting." Some of the mascots of schools seniors are going to: Tim the Beaver- MIT The Friar- Providence College Sir Paladin- Furman University Chauncey the Beaver- Champlain College Jonathan the Husky- University of Connecticut Jumbo the Elephant- Tufts University Mingus the Jazz cat- Berklee College of Music Purple Knight- St. Michael's College Rally the Catamount- University of Vermont Red the Cardinal- MCPHS Rhett the Boston Terrier- Boston University Saints the Saint Bernard- Emmanuel College Rally the Catamount- University of Vermont is fearsome 3 College Craziness! By: Jackie Lavin, Senior College is one of the most important and exciting times in a student's life. It is the time in their lives when they go off to learn on their own, not just for school but for real life. A student learns to care for themselves and manage things on their own, and one of the most essential things is time management.
