1. “Freshman Tendencies”

Leave it to Mr. Brown to call you out anytime you had your phone out, didn’t complete your homework, or even just talked in class. We will never get that voice out of our heads.

2. Boulton’s many memorable quotes

“Seven piece of pizza dudes,” “If you were a tree, what tree would you be?,” “Two rowboats and a dingy,” “Rocket fuel,” and many MANY more.

3. Diamonds Down!

Blue diamonds are a no-go. Even if our children went to Ragsdale (God forbid), we would still dress in all green and throw our upside-down diamonds in the air.

4. AP world still gives you nightmares.

Is there a pop quiz? IS THERE A POP QUIZ?!

5. Shark week wasn’t as fun at SWHS as it is on the Discovery Channel

Nothing was worse than walking through the C building during second semester and being slapped in the face by the stench of dead sharks during dissection week.

6. “The building blocks of life!”

*Waves hands frantically*

7. Athletics

Basketball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, football, wrestling, track and field, baseball, softball, and band all had amazing athletes. We were truly blessed with the girls and boys who got a chance to participate and represent the Cowboys so well.

8. Your jean to khaki ratio is way off.

14:3 if you would like a clear idea.

9. You chose your foreign language solely off of the teacher.

Ms. Hagler is teaching French? Well, okay!

10. Everyone is on the swim team… everyone.

Oh, you’re on the swim team? Same.

11. You’re pissed about the rule change.

What do you mean “any color” collared shirt!?

12. Friday night lights

The rush of the spirit from the cowboy crazies, the pep from the band, and the game of football makes for a perfect Friday night.

13. Parking lot memories

Fights, laughs, crashes and cliques. Oh, and let's not forget the annual senior prank of vandalization with car paint!

14. You’ll never forget Mr. Parker

The announcement of Mr. Parker's retirement was more heartbreaking than you would’ve ever thought.

15. “Land of the free and the home of the… COWBOYS!”

Keep it crazy.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
