Change Remembered by
Woodside Seniors

After attending the same high school for four consecutive years of your life, things can begin to
become very repetitive. One goes to school and sees the same buildings, with the same people,
every day. For the class of 2005 at Woodside High School, that is not the case. Over the course of
four years at the school, this graduating class has seen this school go through a severe makeover.
I, for one, have often found myself pondering all of the changes that have taken place since the
first day of my freshman year. Thankfully, I am not the only one who has witnessed and appreciated
the changes in my surroundings at Woodside.
"I have seen this school go through so many changes, like the front office, and it really is amazing
what they have done to this school in such a short amount of time," said senior Brenda Romero.
Romero has attended Woodside all four years of her high school life, and has also come to
acknowledge the benefits that we have at our school.
Without a doubt, the biggest renovation has taken place in the athletic department, as Bradley Field
now has artificial turf and stadium lights, and the swimming pool is brand new and state of the
art.
" I think the field was very important to us as a football team, " said starting quarterback Julian
Edelman when speaking of Bradley Field. "We were proud of our home field and the turf left us
a much healthier team with a lot fewer injuries than last year.
Although sports has been the big theme at this school, when it comes to renovating and remodeling,
there is also a new performing arts center which opened just a few short months ago situated
at the front of the school.
"The performing arts center is such a great facility for our school to have," said senior Alicia Molin
who has performed in many plays since the grand opening of the newly manufactured building.
"I enjoyed performing in it the few times I
did, and I wish that it was built a little bit
sooner so that I could make even more use
of it than I already have." Still, senior Jarod
Tondino brings up a change that has been
the case for all classes at Woodside.

"The people have been the biggest change
at this school," he said. "I have seen so many
people grow and find new friends and
become more mature." Maturing in high
school is not only inevitable, but it is key to
the rest of our lives beyond high school.
Some of the maturing process that took
effect at Woodside High School could be
attributed to the faculty that gave us so many
life lessons along the way.
