Favorite Memories? One favorite memory was joining the golf team my Junior year. It was a blast playing with everyone last year, but this year was even better. The girls were able to officially have a team and we definitely made the most out of it. In 9th grade (other than COVID), I loved having Wednesdays off; my morning routine was wake up, do some work, go back to bed. Another favorite memory was in 7th grade when Mr. Pipher took the whole class to go explore the basement of the school. That was the one and only time I have ever been down there.

Last Will & Testament:  I give Evelyn Wheeler, Emma Steed, and Bella Smith the continual honor of dealing with Coach Ray. As for Coach Ray, I give him the honor of dealing with the three of them for the next couple of years.

And finally, I give my little brother, Michael Becker (incoming 7th grader), the ability to have confidence in his work, strive for outstanding grades, understand material easily, and to not fall asleep in class. Always keep your head up and try your best to get through the next 6 years, even if you think it is torture.
