Theatre Seniors- It is difficult for me to find the words to express my gratitude and admiration for each and every one of you. I’ve only been here for two years, but in this time I believe I’ve watched many of you grow and come into your own. Thank you for being an inspiration to your audiences, to fellow perform ers, and to me. Your support and passion have helped me in my efforts to produce memorable theatre for the Central community, and I could not have done it without you. Central The atre has a strong foundation—a founda tion to get bigger and better, and that foundation is you. Never accept medioc rity. Never lose sight of your talent and abil ities. And know that you will always have a home on our stage. Thank you for the mem ories. Watching you leave is not easy… Chil dren of Eden captures my sentiments exactly: “The hardest part of love is letting go.” - Mr. Hogan

All the Seniors,

Best of luck with everything you do in

life. Take life’s challenges in stride and

always take out time to enjoy the small

things in life and the big things will follow.

Always keep in touch with friends and family

because they are the real pillars of your life.

From, Mrs. Poonam Gahlawat

Dear Class of 2013,Congratulations! You are my last gradu-ating class at WMC and one of the very best. Your achievements academically, athletically, and in your activities have been amazing. More importantly, you have raised the bar for future classes by demonstrating your maturity and caring for others. My advice to you would be to keep your enthusiasm for what you are doing while maintaining your compassion and concern for those around you. Enjoy the road ahead! Mr. Perkins

Dear Class of 2013, You will always hold a special place in my heart, as your freshman year was also my freshman year here at WMC!

THANK YOU to my dear Algebra and Geometry students, my Math Resource Center regulars, and the amazing students I’ve worked with in the musical. You are all so wonderful, and I wish you so much happiness in the future! With love, Ms. Harrington

- Mrs. Wright =)

Congratulations! As you move forward in life, never forget the cardinal rules you learned in math - No

Credit Card Debt! and Start Saving for Your Retirement Immediately!! Also, you will be invited to many parties if you dazzle

the guests with your ability to factor qua-dratic equations, to graph conic sections and to solve fourth degree polynomial

equations. (That should forever answer the question, “when, in life, will we ever need to know this?”)With love and fond memories of our time together,- Ms. Hannas

To the Class of 2012 –

It was a pleasure having many of you in class as

sophomores, juniors, and / or seniors - and some

of you for all three years! My family and I want to

extend a sincere “thank you” to all of my students this

year for being so helpful and understanding. It was a

very rough few months and I hope the worst is behind

us, but your co-operation, cards, gifts, thoughts and

prayers were certainly appreciated. Your generos-

ity, caring and maturity are daily reminders of why

I love teaching and why West Morris Central is such a

special place.

I wish all of you the best of luck, much success, and

genuine happiness. Seniors - please

keep in touch.

- Mr. Nicolosi

To all of my Seniors- Thank you for reminding me why I love to teach. Be sure to come back and visit to tell

me about all of your achievements (I know there will be many). I will

miss you! xo - Dr. Kayal

IBBM Seniors- I have enjoyed our time together and wish you great success in college and all your future endeavors! Remember to “Be Proac-tive” and continually “Sharpen the

Saw.”Will miss you all!!- Mrs. Pollison

Mark, Sean, & Tanner: Thank you for making the Career Lab a great place to be. I know you guys will do great things! Please remember to visit! It will be quiet next year without you.- Mrs. Buchanan

Good luck to all of the

seniors, especially all of the Ice Hockey

guys! Congrats on your success these

past four years and best wishes

in the future!

- Coach Jacobsen

My Dearest Anthropology and Sociology Students—

My first seniors! What can I say? We all know that we had

some silly times, but overall your dedication to learning and

the insight and uniqueness that you brought to our class is

something that I will always remember. I wish you the best

of luck, and urge you to remember the life lessons that I

have been so lucky to share with you this year. Take with you

the acceptance and understanding that I am both confident

and proud that you have improved over the course of this

year.

Be different and “deviate” from the norm! Good luck in col-

lege, and remember to come

visit me!

Best of Luck Always,

- Miss Raab

Dear WMC Class of 2013, What a tremendous year! A year

marked by your exemplary leadership supporting one another and the

quailities of respect which distinguished you as a group. I will always remember your unique personality and your collaboration in promoting the best of West Morris Central in 2012-13. You showed great character, joy and purpose every step of the way. Continue leaving your marks in the communi-

ties of your future. Be smart and be safe!Fondly,

Mr. Ryan
