A New Beginning
by: Destinee Torres
Our time in High School is coming to an end. Time to say goodbye to everyone we are so used to saying 'Hello' to everyday. Time to get ready to start something new. These few moments we have left together, are the ones we'll hold closest to us. Some of us will stay, some of us will leave. Since Freshman year we've felt the need to rush through High School, but now with only a few days left we start to get the feeling to want to relive it all and start High School all over again. High School is a once in a lifetime experience, and now that it's coming to an end we realize that our lives are barely starting. We will no longer walk the same hallways, share the same classes, see each other everyday. Once we cross that stage and receive our diplomas our lives will have changed forever and we will go our separate ways. The people we have been with since Freshman year are the people we have grown up with, the people we call our second family. South West High has been our second home for four years and in a couple of days it will be the home we leave behind to start a new beginning. Class of 2012 it's time to say goodbye and go on with our own lives. The best of luck to everyone on their journey through life.

Grad-Nite!
by: Juliet Gutierrez
Grad-Nite is about having fun with all your friends. Dance until your feet can't dance anymore. Grad-Nite is for all seniors, but sadly there's not room for everyone. This year we had to order a whole other bus to take 50 more students. At Disneyland, where Grad-Nite takes place, you go on the rides, dance and obviously, take a bunch of pictures with your friends. After all, the most important thing about this night is to make everlasting memories with your friends. Most Seniors have been looking forward to this night since Freshman year and in 5 days it'll be here. So get those Mickey Mouse ears ready for an unforgettable night. Be safe and have an amazing night Class of Midnight.

South West Senior High
by: Cheyenne Alexander
South West High School, in San Diego, a small school right next to a whole different world. Some people talk trash about South West because they think it's poor, they think it's ghetto, they think we have nothing to be proud about. Those people are wrong, those people truly don't know how great our school is.Our Academic League, our Band, and our Athletes have proven to be the brightest stars in the SUHSD.
Our Academic League has won so many games against so-called " smart" schools that we have the right to brag about it, but we don't because we have too much class. Choir won first place in their division,pretty awesome, considering it was their first year competing. Also, last summer our drama class put on a play that was phenomenal. Last but not least, our amazing Raider Athletes. Whether you play Soccer, Waterpolo, Baseball, Football, Roller Hockey, Tennis, Volleyball, Golf or run Track, you are a part of a family. All our teams are made up of smart and kind students who give it their all. This year Roller Hockey and Soccer won the league banner for our school, way to be undefeated!
Listen up Raiders! We have been proving those trash-talkers wrong. Let's now work together and make this new school year the best ever! After all we are RAIDERS, and we have the power to be our best.

Electronics
by: Austin Lopez
One word you hear get thrown around a lot is electronics. People all around the world have some form of electronic device in their possession. Things like Ipods, T.V's , Cell phones etc., have made a monumental change in our everyday lives. Some people don't use electronics due to superstition or lack of interest, but there are others who can't live without theirs. Large companies who make the electronic products like music players and cellphones are always trying to give the community the next best thing. All the while competing neck and neck with other companies to have the finest product on the market. With today's technology the age of electronics has definitely been growing.
In the past decade our electronic resources were mediocre compared to the present. Our phones are able to do unimaginable things like unlock your car, be your gps, be your ipod and even send you alerts of important events. There's no limit for the inventiveness of our society. We may not know what comes next, but we do know that today is just one more stepping stone to what's in store for us in the future.

Graduation
The End Of Our Journey
By: Jocelyn Leal
May 30th 2012, 6PM at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheater is where we will stand for the last time as High School Students. No more watching KSOH Tuesdays and Wednesdays,no more being in trouble with Ms. Best, no more buying cookies at lunch, no more wasting time during STEP and no more writing nonsense essays for Mr. Leaf. Now we are adults in the real world, with so many responsibilities awaiting us after we walk across that stage at graduation. You are on your own now, so keep moving forward and striving to make your future the best possible. It's all on you.
Graduation is awesome! It represents a great accomplishment, and you should be proud you made it this far. Look around on that special day and remember sitting down in the gym for Freshman orientation. That day the gym was packed with people, but out of all those kids only those sitting there waiting to walk made it. Stand proud and receive the diploma with your chin up, always remember that moment as the time you were successful and you were on top.
Congratulations Class of 2012. You made it!

Day Of Silence
by: Yadira Ramon-Soto
& Leslie Leal
The Day of Silence is known over schools world wide and took place at Southwest High School on April 20th, 2012. This day is dedicated to all those gay, straight, bisexual, transgender and lesbian people who are seeking support from others. This day many students participate and commit to not talking during the whole day in order to show that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness. It is to those who have been silenced by fear of showing who they really are and those who have taken their lives for being bullied that we silence our voices for just one day. We are here to show that they are not alone, that no matter what sexual orientation, color or ethnicity you are ,we are all equal and are one. We must stand up for what we believe in and not be silenced by our fears. SOH students have showed that they care about showing respect to lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender people that have been harassed or bullied. We appreciate all the students at SOH who participated in the Day of Silence. Thanks for being part of the change.

Seniors Last Day
The Last Day
by:Vanessa Cintron
As the end of Senior year approaches we begin to realize that our life will change. Leaving our friends and family to begin our new life. Some of us don't want to realize that our moments together are ending. That our last day together is less than a month away. Our last chance to make memories together is on May 24th 2012.
May 24th is a day that every senior has been waiting for since Freshman year. It's the last day of school and more importantly Grad Nite. On that day most seniors will walk off campus for the last time and remember all the good and bad times that we all shared together over he last four years. Once we walk off this campus the ending process will begin. A week later we will walk in Cricket Amphitheater and officially be High School Graduates.
