Bye Bye Bye 2010 Part Three
June 9, 2010
Hello once again fellow CVUers,
I have more final goodbyes from my Journalism classmates! Hope you enjoy 
The following passage is written by Kelsey Darby, class of 2010:
As we count down the final days of the school year, we are starting to figure out our summer plans. I talked to a few people about their activities for the summer, and the responses I got varied from each person, depending on what he or she likes to do.
Isaiah Cory, a graduating senior, says he is “sticking around Vermont.” He also added that he is looking for a job.
Simon Quayle, a junior this year, said, “I’m working at a theatre in New York.” He explained this will be his third summer at the theatre. “I am looking forward to it!”
Newton Hausermann, another graduating senior who is attending Clarkson University this fall, told me about the two concerts he is going to this summer. A Phish concert on June 19, and a Further concert on July 5.
Julie Ho, a junior, said she is going to the SADD National convention in Orlando, Florida from June 27 until June 30. She is also working at Majestic 10 in Williston. “Anything else,” she said, “is up in the air.”
But, no matter what you are doing this summer, whether you are staying here or heading to Florida, remember to have fun, be safe, and to wear sunscreen! 
The following passage is written by Eoin Karnes, class of 2011:
Connie Metz, Nichols Guidance Counselor, has seen many senior classes come and go over her years working here at CVU. She feels that what she will miss most about this year’s senior class is “Their spirit, their enthusiasm, and their ability to relate well with adults.”
“My memories are of how well they’ve grown.” She said, “Each in particular individual who maybe as a freshman might have gotten in some trouble or wasn’t sort of on track to graduate. They all have seemed to come around and done a really good job of making sure they will walk across that stage and get their diploma. It’s always more collective: to see how kids start out mischievous, playful, and to see how much they have grown and what their passions are.”
Connie Metz believes grad challenge helps to show the seniors passions by what they are learning. She claimed to love attending Grad Challenge presentation day just to see what the students are doing. “One of the things that just blew me away at grad challenge,” Connie Metz’s said, “was all the incredible expertise that the graduating seniors have about what they have chosen.” One student Connie Metz remembers for showing particular passion was senior, Ben Mullin. “I never really knew Ben Mullin very well, and he told the story about his Volkswagen Bus; how he bought it, where he got it, how he traveled across country, how he took it apart. It is amazing, just amazing to me. So here’s a student who I never really knew, and now I feel I know him pretty well.”
As fond as Connie Metz is of all her memories of this year’s senior class, she claims to be “always excited to see them go,” she continued by saying “I always feel like I can let them go. But I will see them again, whether I see them in Burlington, they email me or they contact me.”
Today is the last official White day, everyone…which means it’s my last Journalism class! :’( But I will send MY final ”so-longs” soon enough, when I have more time to gather my thoughts and not to mention, my sanity. Haha! There will, however, be a part four of this blog, if any more posts from my classmates get sent to me. But anyways, enough with my long rant…
Your’s truly CVU,
Fammy Zammy
