A will is defined as “a legal document containing instructions as to what should be done with one’s money and property after one’s death,” so this is kind of the same idea. Traditionally, departing seniors write their Senior Wills to leave things behind for their beloved, soon-to-be abandoned underclassmen.
It’s basically just an excuse for seniors to reassert their inside jokes with underclassmen, but, like, it’s meaningful because they’re leaving. So thanks to the seniors for filling their roles as the wise elders of the other students who are stuck here for a little longer!
George Scherger
To my dearest friends, in the case that I die (or go to college), here is a list of items that I wish to be handed down in my honor.
Donovan Menard – The announcements and the (working) tuba
Mitchell T. – All of the art skills that I never had, and the obscure secondary euphonuim skills.
Julia Matalon – Sushi and the spirit of the summer swim team
Bradley Bogues, Tyler Murphy, Shane Nachshen, and the rest of MLMS – Food poisoning from Delizia’s and disdain for the 500
Robert Cuozzo – The Senior Lounge. You are in charge of it now.
Camilla Gu – The confidence to apply for EVERY art scholarship out there. You will win them all.
And to everyone I didn’t have space to put down, I give you the ability to follow your heart.

Underclassmen, I wish you all the best and hope all of you guys end up being very successful one day. Some advice and key tips I would give to you guys is go all out no matter what grade you’re in. Whether it’s in sports or in the classroom, always push yourself no matter what. Also, don’t let senioritis hit you as hard as it has hit me. Keep pushing until the very end. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Best of luck.
Thank you,
Dan

To all the underclassman in the crew: I’ll miss the all the late night adventures, all the random outings, and all those days that we burned the midnight oil in rehearsal. Thank you to Paige (the sole survivor of the car-squad), Scarlett (who lights up my life), Korene (who punked me like never before on Facebook), Anita (percussion pro), Halle (who is going to rock it as SM next year), Emma (amazing at crew AND violin), Steven (what?), and all the other amazing crew members. I hope each and every one of you eventually buy a duck, and I wish you all the Scooby Snacks in the world.
To all the underclassman in the cast: I leave you my thanks for putting up with my constant running around and yelling during the shows. Special shoutout to those who members of the cast who moved enough set pieces to qualify honorary crew members; Maya, Alia, Allie, Janaki, Josephine, Kristen, and all the Silly Girls to name just a few. More shoutouts to Holley (who has underrated fashion sense), Lily (who can act AND do crew like a pro), Maya (who gets two shoutouts because thats how responsible she is), Dillyn (of whom I run the fan club for), Rebecca (who moved that flat perfectly), Ameer (who is too tall), Patipat (who has the best pair of gargoyles I’ve ever seen), Noah (who is a Catan pro with a great taste in monocles), and all the other people in the shows who made this year as great as it was. Bobby-pins and princess bandaids for everyone!

“Be who the heck you are because why waste the time being a puppet to a whole different person. Live your life to the fullest and take risk cause it will teach you a very important tool to living. Don’t say that you are done because it is too hard, say that you are done because you’ve won.”
Bryan Maute
First thing’s first, I gotta tell to all the Mautes in this school that you guys make me proud and I know you guys can make it through the rest of your high school career! To all the PXL students, I hope you guys really enjoy this program, and help keep it in high spirits so that you guys can overall have an awesome time and keep the program an extremely positive experience. Last but not least, to everyone else, I’m counting on you guys to do your best and to make sure you guys make your experience at MLHS something to remember, because believe it or not, it’ll be over before you know it!

To Miss Penney- peace of mind, tenors who can dance, and my gratitude for what you’ve made the theatre department. To Noah Goldfischer- minty gum, niche memes from the instagram explore page, and complete happiness in all your future endeavors. To Greta Donnelly- happy cherries, a punch card for Curly’s, and more hugs than I could humanly give you. To Julia Youngman- the claves for Son de Camaguey, a successful career in Walmart modeling, and laughter about all the stupid little things. To Ameer Abosheriah- as much laughter and light as you’ve given me, which is a lot:) To Shankosaurus, Lucy, and “Moo Moo”- trash packets, juicy bus gossip, and the bad@$$ reputation of a Bechdel Test-approved A-team. To Emily Hsiang- ninth period hang outs, Frozen karaoke jams, and a solid nickname. To Lina Petronino and Andie Credidio- stupid jokes during symphonic band, and more songs with plastic recorder solos. To Lizzy McNaughton- chamber bops, coffeehouse performances, and a hilarious reminder of our Legally Blonde obsession. To Romie Boswell- the world’s best hugs, The Breakfast Club, and instagram memes. To the MLHS Theatre Department- My full love and appreciation. Thank you all for what you’ve given me, and for the incredible work you’ll do in the years to come. To the current and future members, I sincerely hope that you can find as much happiness here as I have.

Emily Tao
Alex- Going to France and the Netherlands together, all of the times you made me laugh when you were being silly, all of the times that I made you laugh by roasting you, counting all of the times you said “you know what” whenever I roast you, always needing to edit your quote logs while I continue to roast your grammar, putting lettuce on your cheek just because I was bored on a double date, always supporting you at as many track meets as I can go to, all of the times I had to drive you home from track throughout the year, always holding just your finger instead of holding your hand because I am a child on the inside, and all of the individually packaged Swedish fish that I have thrown at you
Paige- Therapy car rides where we drive in circles, basically living at your house every once in a while, all of the musical, prom dress shopping, the gigantic emoji for Mr. B, and introducing me to all my of amazing friends that I have now, comparing Ameer to Gay Alex at IHOP, all the times we hung out with Brian and Victor
Char (aka Asian Mess)- Double dates, forever being awkward and you always being clumsy, us always being loud, always messing with Jacob whenever we can, our walks throughout the halls every once in a while, you not being able to ice skate, when I stayed at your house that one time for dinner, all of the times that I have messed with Chris, and our occasional food trips
Evan- Our mall trips, going ice skating and then going to the diner afterwards, cheering you on at track meets, going to Buffalo Wild Wings, dressing like you during musical spirit week, and letting you steal my parking spot every once in a while
Julia- The tedious hours we spent on the French Mural, the times you had to cheer me up because I was sad, when I wanted to get you a Slytherin notebook for Christmas, but they messed up the order and sent me a Hufflepuff notebook instead, the times we messed with Jake and Jacob in pit band, when you came over to my house to help me bake, and whenever you’re in my car you and the radio never plays anything good, so you miss out on the amazing bass I have in my car
Anita- When I drove you, Alex, and two Dutch kids in my car after Skyzone, looking through yearbook pictures and letting me taunt some friends with embarrassing pictures, everything in the Buzzfeed group chat that we have
Olivia- Always being insanely loud in AP Bio, being in the Buzzfeed group chat as well, always talking about what you do at the library during work, all of the times that you never stop talking when I actually need to concentrate, always saying the most random things or making random sounds that make me laugh, when I got you obsessed with I Love Hue, when I stole your phone to beat your 2048 high score (but unfortunately failed to do so)
Halle- The first time you ever talked to me was because you needed someone to rant to, our deep conversations whenever we had to stay late and paint the sets, when you gave me my senior stage crew gift and gave such a wonderful speech
Grant- Being my pillow whenever I was tired, always giving me hugs when I needed them (or whenever I felt like it), the time you were there for me and made me feel so grateful to have all of my friends, I am also leaving you my lunchbox that you always liked to wear as a hat
Ameer- Scarring me with that elephant video that made me cry, scarring me with that grapefruit video as well, when you came over to my house for my Halloween Party and my birthday party, your bromance with Victor, and all of the times we have had during eighth and ninth period
Richard- When I kept on accidentally calling you Victor for no reason, then Brad and I just called a different name every time we needed your attention, everyone else also started calling you Victor, the time that we made walls out of the blocks to drive the robot through, the “boi” hands, when we stacked blocks on top of the robot as high as we could and then drove it, the time we drove the robot down to the band room during pit band
Rebecca- The times that we always talked/ranted/complained in pit band, pep band, and jazz band, the times that you were there for me when I was overwhelmed because tech week, when my trumpet was horrendously broken and you fixed it
Alan- the times we gave up in latin and yet you still always got higher grades than everyone, the times you have freaked out about Chem and complained to me about it in latin, whenever I went to you for Calc help because I was just clueless, all of the times you waved in the doorway during jazz band and occasionally sat in with us
Dani, Annie, and Toni- Literally everyday in first period where we all complain about being in school, me occasionally helping you on homeworks because you guys always had other work to do
