Oh, the places you’ll go, the things you’ll see. One<br />

fish, two fish, <strong>may</strong>be three! We’ve been around the<br />

world and seen a million faces. Yes, we’ve tried<br />

our fair share of green eggs and ham; some of it has been<br />

delicious and rewarding and fun, while other experiences do<br />

nothing but stun.<br />

The lessons of life, in simplest terms, were taught by the<br />

fantastic Dr. Seuss, using small words. He would craft, illustrate,<br />

and broaden the wide expanses - of our brilliant imaginations -<br />

all while teaching us valuable life lessons.<br />

Take, for example, dearest Thidwick the Moose. He was a kindhearted<br />

animal who wouldn’t hurt a fly, but his kindness placed him in<br />

a bit of a bind. Much like our days in elementary <strong>school</strong>, we learned to<br />

obey those that nourish, and we need our friends to flourish.<br />

Not to mention those silly sneetches, who unfairly discriminated on Dr.<br />

Seuss’s beaches. In middle <strong>school</strong> we learned about ourselves, but most<br />

importantly, we learned about others. There are others in this world who are<br />

different, and that is no reason to bad-mouth and bash; ‘tis a surefire way to end<br />

with the trash. So, like the sneetches, we learned the stars on our bellies were of<br />

little effect; loving one another is something we should never neglect.<br />

Plodding and skipping and doo-daddling along, the light of the sky brought<br />

us on and on. In <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>, the world opened up and we focused our ears, -<br />

despite all those fears. Just like Horton, who heard that small who, we found<br />

that the world wasn’t always in view. We learned about forces like gravity and<br />

light; and sometimes the concepts were hard – we had to put a fight.<br />

But as humanity always seems to do, we chugged right along.<br />

So, come, let’s take a journey and see what yesterday’s fantasies, as well as<br />

today’s realities, have revealed in our mind’s sacred<br />

store. And don’t forget to cherish the memories, as<br />

you walk out the door.<br />

Elementary <strong>school</strong><br />

At some point or another, we all<br />

dream of building a time machine<br />

and venturing back to the wonder<br />

and imagination that filled our childhood<br />

years. This is much more desirable<br />

than the immense amount of stress and<br />

<strong>high</strong> expections we are forced to take on<br />

throughout our four years of <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong><br />

and four more years of college. Unfortunately,<br />

science has yet to perfect the art<br />

of time travel; so we are left reminiscing<br />

about memories from the good old days of<br />

elementary <strong>school</strong>.<br />

Whether you spent some of the best<br />

years of your life at <strong>North</strong>wood, Clearmount,<br />

Greentown, Orchard Hill or some<br />

other elementary <strong>school</strong>, you probably had<br />

the same thoughts and actions as nearly<br />

everyone else your age. At that stop in<br />

our journey through life, we all craved<br />

that hour called recess, during which we<br />

could take a break from learning all the<br />

continents, perfecting our cursive writing<br />

to earn the coveted “Cursive License”<br />

(though this license has proven to be not<br />

nearly as useful as my driver’s license)<br />

and struggling with long division to spend<br />

some quality play time with our peers<br />

on the playground.<br />

[Rylie Jobe, Allison Busby, Cristina Ocrainiciuc, Kara<br />

Campbell, Kaylie Settles, Tori Crowl, Courtney Gang,<br />

and friends]<br />

The elimination of recess is just downright<br />

baffling. It was replaced with half of<br />

a period called “privilege period” but I fail<br />

to see how this is nearly as satisfying as recess.<br />

While it does offer a nice break during<br />

the <strong>school</strong> day, the greatest part of recess is<br />

still nonexistent: the bond.<br />

On the playground, everyone played<br />

together. No one was afraid to walk up to<br />

a line at the four-square court and join in<br />

the game or have a conversation centered<br />

around the best Lizzie McGuire episode<br />

with a girl you have never met while soaring<br />

toward the sky on the <strong>high</strong>est swing.<br />

This is what made that simple time of the<br />

day so beautiful. There were no cliques to<br />

impress. There were no jocks, nerds, ravers<br />

or popular kids. As opposed to worrying<br />

about who we truly are as a human being,<br />

we were more concerned with which<br />

handshake-song combo was the best. Part<br />

of this comes from the fact that we were all<br />

socially awkward and, frankly, fairly unattractive<br />

in a charming way. Since no one<br />

was exceptionally beautiful or intelligent<br />

or athletic, it was effortless for everyone<br />

to accept one another as we were, without<br />

making changes to ourselves.<br />

The other reason elementary<br />

[Myarr Monier, Madison LaBolt, Liz Saltis,<br />

Lauren Saltis, Ingrid Chovan, Emily Evans,<br />

Ali Reed, Chelsea Teal, Victoria Brayer]<br />

One fish<br />

<strong>school</strong> was so enjoyable is that no one<br />

thought we were crazy for wanting to be<br />

a billionaire astronaut racecar driver. Even<br />

our most far-fetched and illogical dreams<br />

were encouraged.<br />

While a grasp on reality is crucial to<br />

possess as we make our way to bigger and<br />

better things, we must also remember to<br />

embrace our imagination. There is nothing<br />

wrong with sitting down to color after a<br />

stressful day or getting a group of friends<br />

together to play matball in the gym. Don’t<br />

be afraid to act like a child sometimes because<br />

the person you become when you<br />

embrace the child inside you <strong>may</strong> be the<br />

person you truly are.<br />

As we part with Hoover and progress<br />

through our lives, we need to realize that<br />

elementary <strong>school</strong> is over. Life will be difficult<br />

and new challenges will arise each<br />

and every day. These are the times we<br />

must utilize the skills we have acquired<br />

over the years to concur obstacles and<br />

grow. During this process, it is necessary<br />

to treat the situation like recess and accept<br />

yourself and others for who they truly are.<br />

Furthermore, never be afraid to dream as<br />

you once did.<br />

Middle <strong>school</strong><br />

If you were anything like me, middle<br />

<strong>school</strong> was probably the most confusing<br />

part of your life. Middle <strong>school</strong> is<br />

nothing but a journey for your identity, and<br />

this search for self is accurately likened<br />

to searching for an imaginary needle in<br />

a haystack. You would find yourself and<br />

realize shortly thereafter this self was<br />

illusory, and then continue to search.<br />

Some of us held dearly onto our<br />

chosen sense of self all the way through<br />

middle <strong>school</strong>, and some of us are still<br />

clinging to the illusion today. Regardless,<br />

most of us have released our imaginary<br />

needle and embraced our evolving,<br />

albeit uncertain, role in the haystack.<br />

Many of us have ceased the fruitless,<br />

frustrating quest for ourselves via approval<br />

of others. Though it seems foolish now,<br />

our fingers are still vaguely tinted from<br />

the dirt and hay dust as a reminder of<br />

our digging through the haystack. It is<br />

certain we will commit many other follies<br />

along the way, but for the time being,<br />

let us remember those awkward years.<br />

Middle <strong>school</strong> was the time when<br />

our self-esteems<br />

[Haely Enot, Mara Nickel, Emily Evans]<br />

hit the ground hard. At no other point in<br />

my life have I been so concerned about<br />

my physical appearance. I spent almost<br />

every waking second, and some sleeping<br />

ones, obsessing over how the opposite<br />

sex would view me. We all wanted so<br />

badly to be handsome or beautiful, not<br />

knowing just how young we were and<br />

what physical changes were in store for us.<br />

Speaking of which, think of all the<br />

unattractive kids you knew in middle<br />

<strong>school</strong>. How many of them now are<br />

gorgeous young women or handsome<br />

young men? If only we would have known<br />

what was in store for us, we could have<br />

alleviated our worries to some degree.<br />

Admittedly, you might still notice a<br />

few ugly ducklings here and there,<br />

but hey, beauty is subjective, is it not?<br />

While the physical aspect played a large<br />

part, the emotional layer of middle <strong>school</strong><br />

cannot be overstated. It was very much<br />

an intense emotional roller coaster: the<br />

<strong>high</strong>s were exhilarating and the lows were<br />

excruciating. In roller coaster fashion,<br />

the ride was over before we<br />

even knew it, and<br />

[Brooke Burdette, Jenna Fisher, Kelsea Daniluk,<br />

Emily Stryker, Rebecca Junod]<br />

Two Fish<br />

some desperately yearn to go for a second<br />

time. Others wish never to venture through<br />

middle <strong>school</strong> ever again, and I’m a strong<br />

member of this camp. Finally, there is the<br />

camp that will not realize just how much<br />

they loved middle <strong>school</strong> until later in life.<br />

If I ever wind up in this camp, I will be sure<br />

to chalk it up to rosy retrospection. In any<br />

case, time seemingly forbids us to travel<br />

backward to prior events, so we are thus<br />

stuck where we are regardless of our wishes.<br />

No matter how bleak your future<br />

seems now, the slightest steps<br />

forward can illuminate potential paths<br />

you would have never fathomed.<br />

When I was in middle <strong>school</strong>, <strong>high</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong> seemed like some far off event<br />

that would never happen. Well, it did.<br />

Let this be an indicator of years to come.<br />

For many, the end of <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> is the<br />

end of a drastic journey that one has<br />

spent many years on. It’s something<br />

that we grew up with, people<br />

whom we loved and<br />

cared about, and,<br />

most importantly<br />

something that<br />

we’ve been given<br />

the opportunity to<br />

discover ourselves<br />

through.<br />

Some <strong>may</strong> see<br />

today as the end of the<br />

line, while others see it<br />

as the starting point to<br />

a life that will turn out<br />

to be all that they hoped<br />

for and more.<br />

Personally,<br />

I find<br />

m y s e l f<br />

b e i n g<br />

[Sara Nist, Mckenzie Yerrick]<br />

somewhere in the middle.<br />

For me, <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> has been that<br />

experience. It has been a time to make<br />

and break friendships, to care and not<br />

care about academics and to decide what’s<br />

more impotrant - the football game or the<br />

English paper. Most times, the game won,<br />

by the way.<br />

Though it hasn’t always been easy,<br />

these past four years seem to have flown<br />

by. We all had times where we felt like we<br />

were at wit’s end and could no longer push<br />

through this disaster we called Hoover. At<br />

the same time, many of our best memories<br />

took place at Hoover or through something<br />

Hoover was connected too. Not many<br />

<strong>senior</strong>s can honestly say they have no good<br />

memories from <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>, and that same<br />

group of <strong>senior</strong>s cannot say they have all<br />

positive memories.<br />

The saying goes, days come and go, but<br />

memories last a lifetime. That is exactly<br />

how I feel about <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>. We’ll always<br />

remember what we did here, but it is time<br />

to cross the threshold to the new stage of<br />

our lives and say goodbye to <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong><br />

drama and, for many of us, life at home.<br />

So where do we go from here?<br />

Personally, the fact that my <strong>high</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong> career is over just has<br />

not hit me yet. Maybe it will<br />

Monday when I don’t have<br />

to get up and come here, but<br />

as of now it has not. So instead<br />

of being upset, I just can’t wait<br />

for it to be over. That doesn’t mean<br />

[Cristina Ocrainiciuc, Alexandra Black]<br />

I hated it, but it does mean it is time to<br />

move on.<br />

At some point over the course of the<br />

next few days, we have to look in the<br />

mirror and tell ourselves that we made it.<br />

Through the joys and heartbreak that has<br />

been our <strong>senior</strong> year of <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>, we<br />

made it.<br />

Yes, this <strong>senior</strong> class has its cliques<br />

and its drama, but when it comes down to<br />

the wire, this is also the <strong>senior</strong> class that<br />

has the ability to pull together and work<br />

through the struggles, while still coming<br />

out on top.<br />

Currently, most of the members of the<br />

<strong>senior</strong> class cannot wait for <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong><br />

to be over. We are so thrilled to see this<br />

chapter of our lives come to a close that it<br />

is almost unbearable to sit in our classes<br />

for another minute, much less another six<br />

periods. While we have these feelings of<br />

excitement, we also struggle with the fear<br />

of the unknown.<br />

What comes next in our lives and how<br />

can we make sure that we get where we<br />

need to be? Though the answer <strong>may</strong> not<br />

be black and white, there is still an answer.<br />

Our futures lie in the powers<br />

of change.<br />

tomorrow and<br />

decided that I<br />

wanted to join<br />

[Megan Walton, Taylor Paxton, Kim Raper,<br />

would have to change my lifestyle to make<br />

my new life plan work out. The point is,<br />

what our parents and teachers have been<br />

drilling into us for twelve years is true: if<br />

you want something bad enough, all you<br />

have to do is go after it. In many ways, <strong>high</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong> was just another way of going after<br />

what we want in the long haul.<br />

Whether you used <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> as a<br />

social facade, a way of improving your<br />

intelligence, or some mixture of the two,<br />

everyone got something out of these past<br />

four years. That something could then, in<br />

turn, allow you to mold yourself into the<br />

person you truly want to be and the person<br />

you are allowing yourself to become.<br />

Not only were these past four years<br />

an opportunity to discover who we are as<br />

people, they also gave us the chance for<br />

many first times. Our first real kiss, our<br />

first dates, first formal dances. All of these<br />

things happened here, with this group of<br />

friends and at this <strong>school</strong>.<br />

Often, throughout the course of our <strong>high</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong> careers, we saw <strong>senior</strong>s from past<br />

years come back and visit their favorite<br />

teachers. I always thought that<br />

was weird. It was like, once<br />

you leave this place, why<br />

would you want to<br />

come back? I never<br />

understood. Now, sitting<br />

where I’m sure they were<br />

sitting, I can tell you with<br />

almost one hundred percent<br />

certainty I will be coming back<br />

[Marine Bio <strong>2012</strong>]<br />

to see a few teachers. Well, at least four or<br />

five. As students here we just want out, but<br />

as graduating <strong>senior</strong>s, we’re not really sure<br />

how to let go.<br />

Sometimes, we were put in positions<br />

where we assumed our teachers and<br />

administration were out to get us. Sitting<br />

here now, I realize that they were just doing<br />

their jobs. They didn’t hate us for what we<br />

wore or what homework assignment we<br />

didn’t complete. They tried to do their job<br />

to the best of their abilities.<br />

A big <strong>issue</strong> was the dress code this year.<br />

When it comes down to it, does it really<br />

matter at all? No, it doesn’t. Again, the<br />

administration and the teachers that were<br />

strict with it were just doing their job. They,<br />

like us, were trying to do the same thing<br />

we were. They were trying to get through<br />

their days in a civil manner and get through<br />

another year.<br />

All in all, we did our jobs together,<br />

and we came out on top of the crowd. We<br />

proved who we are as students and teachers<br />

and brought our fourth year to a close with<br />

a bang.<br />

As for today, the last real day of <strong>high</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong>, try and take a look back to see what<br />

it is that you got the most from in<br />

these past four years. For me, it<br />

was meeting the people I did and<br />

allowing myself to believe that it<br />

was okay to just be who I am. I’ll<br />

be taking the time to thank those<br />

people who helped me along the<br />

way, and most importantly, I’ll be<br />

[Lauren Saltis, Kara Riccardi, Janelle Jackson, Liz Clark,<br />

Carly Hartman, Emily Bergert, Liz Saltis]<br />

moving on with my life. It’s sort of strange<br />

to think that this is the last <strong>issue</strong> of The<br />

Viking Views that I’ll ever be a part of, but,<br />

like all great things, this too must come<br />

to a finishing point.<br />

So here’s to you<br />

class of <strong>2012</strong>,<br />

for all the<br />

memories and<br />

the hardships,<br />

the joys and the<br />

pain. Good luck<br />

in all we do, and<br />

know these are the<br />

last few moments<br />

you’ll ever<br />

spend in<br />

h i g h<br />

<strong>school</strong>.<br />

Clint Owens is no stranger to the stage.<br />

His vocal talent was first heard when he<br />

joined the freshman choir, and later became<br />

a member of both the A’Capella choir and<br />

the Hoover Hi-Lo’s. His love for singing<br />

led him to attend a music camp to enhance<br />

his vocal skills. Clint’s performance in the<br />

Senior Spectacular saw him perform with<br />

friends and fellow <strong>senior</strong> choir members, in<br />

which he wowed the crowd. Combining his<br />

love for both singing and dramatics, Clint<br />

has been a part of many shows, such as,<br />

God Spell Jr., Aida and Peter Pan. After his<br />

all of his efforts in choir, he was finally given<br />

recognition. Not only did he win a gold<br />

and 1st in the New York <strong>City</strong> choir trip, he<br />

also received 1’s and 2’s for his solo and<br />

ensemble performances.<br />

Klarissa Calhoun has had a great love<br />

of singing from a very young age. Within<br />

her personal life outside of <strong>school</strong>, Calhoun<br />

credits her family for the passion that she<br />

has for vocal music. Since she was just 7<br />

years old, Klarissa has partaken in church<br />

plays and vocal lessons, which only went<br />

on to enhance her love for singing. In the<br />

sixth grade, she joined the choir and has<br />

been a part of vocal activities in <strong>school</strong><br />

ever since. Freshman choir, women’s chorale<br />

and the accapella choir are examples<br />

of the activities Klarissa has participated<br />

in. After all of the work she put in, Klarissa’s<br />

long term commitment to the choir<br />

was recognized when she received the 3<br />

year choir reward.<br />

Rob Kerr is the man behind the camera.<br />

After taking Interactive Media classes for<br />

2 years to learn the ropes, he moved on to<br />

Video Productions. As the <strong>school</strong> watches<br />

the announcements, many fail to acknowledge<br />

those who make the production possible.<br />

Rob is one of those people. However,<br />

the announcements are just a small part of<br />

all that he does within Video Productions.<br />

After creating a short film, his work was<br />

recognized and shown at the Glenoak Film<br />

Festival which <strong>high</strong>lights and features student<br />

made films. Not only does Rob have<br />

a gift for the digital arts, he also has impressive<br />

musical abilities. He participated<br />

in both Marching and Concert band for 4<br />

years. Furthermore, his band played in 3 of<br />

Hoover’s Battle of the Bands, and won in<br />

2010. Rob hopes to become an animator in<br />

the future.<br />

Jenn Shaw began her work in design at<br />

the beginning of her sophomore year, and<br />

has been very involved in the digital arts<br />

ever since. She took both Interactive Media<br />

I and II during her junior year, before<br />

progressing on to take Interactive Media III<br />

to further enhance her skills. Jenn has utilized<br />

her digital design ability throughout<br />

the pages of the Viking Views Newspaper.<br />

After mastering In-Design and Photoshop,<br />

her talent went on to produce award-winning<br />

designs that impressed the judges over<br />

the years at the OSMA convention (Ohio<br />

Scholastic Media Association.) Beyond the<br />

pages of the newspaper, Jenn has used her<br />

eye for design to create posters that are displayed<br />

in the library along with the web site<br />

for Hoover’s Robotics Club. Shaw plans to<br />

attend The University of Akron in the fall<br />

after receiving one of five art scholarships.<br />

Honorable Mentions: Jesse Spencer, Sarah<br />

Corey Lipkins Jr. is Hoover’s leading<br />

man. While people <strong>may</strong> recognize him<br />

from his appearances on HVTV news, there<br />

is more to all that he participates in. For<br />

his work on HVTV news, Corey received<br />

the Award of Excellence for his On-Air<br />

talent and an Honorable Mention for his<br />

feature. He was also on Hoover’s Speech<br />

and Debate team. Whilst on the team, he<br />

received many awards for his work including,<br />

Outstanding Sophomore, the Coach’s<br />

award, the Speech Award of Excellence<br />

and he consistently placed within the top<br />

three. Outside of <strong>school</strong>, he partook in the<br />

NAACP Act-So Competition, in which he<br />

placed as a national qualifier. On top of all<br />

his accomplishments, Corey was awarded<br />

the Outstanding Distinction in the National


Forensics League (a <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> Speech<br />

and Debate honor society.)<br />

Miranda Harig has been a committed<br />

dance for over 14 years, but her passion<br />

for dance is by no means restricted to one<br />

style. Throughout the years, she has danced<br />

in many different styles including tap, jazz,<br />

contemporary, ballet and pointe. Not only<br />

does she dance 4 days a week, she has a<br />

strong work ethic and extreme dedication<br />

to dance and performance. Where words<br />

are not enough for her, Miranda uses dance<br />

to express herself. Beyond her commitment<br />

to her own personal dance career, she<br />

teaches dance too. Of her wide range of<br />

dance ability, she teaches tap, jazz, lyrical<br />

and musical theatre. Miranda’s hard work<br />

and dedication to dance paid off when she<br />

received two major scholarships, including<br />

the Joe Walsh Scholarship from Kent<br />

State’s Art Department, as well as the Creative<br />

Artist Award in Dance scholarship.<br />

Honorable Mentions: Annie Szendrey,<br />

Dylan Moats has been involved in art<br />

classes ever since he entered the halls of<br />

Hoover <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> his freshman year. All<br />

throughout <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>, he partook in art<br />

classes including Art I, II, III and IV. After<br />

excelling in Art IV, he was placed in AP Art<br />

V for his <strong>senior</strong> year. Dylan’s artistic talent<br />

was recognized when his artwork was<br />

displayed in the ‘little art gallery,’ located<br />

inside the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canton</strong> Public Library.<br />

While he enjoys many different forms of<br />

art, he has a particular preference for painting<br />

and working with charcoals. In the fall,<br />

Dylan plans to attend Ashland College, in<br />

order for him to pursue art.<br />

Rylie Jobe is an all around artist. She has<br />

been involved with art for 5 years now, and<br />

has a lot to show for her work from within<br />

that time. Whilst taking Art I, II and III,<br />

Rylie became a member of Hoover’s Art<br />

club. Her outstanding work was acknowledged<br />

when she won the Silver key award<br />

in drawing. Not only does she excel in her<br />

artwork, she took both Commercial Photography<br />

I and II which enhanced her work<br />

using digital art. The use of mixed media<br />

and photography won her many awards<br />

in the past two years, including the Silver<br />

key award in mixed media, the Silver key<br />

award in photography, the Gold key award<br />

in photography and the Nest body of work<br />

for photography award.<br />

Denissoff is a letterman in two sports at the <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong>, track<br />

and football, and has made an impact in both.<br />

team, where he is a two-year letterman. He has won the Football<br />

earned the All-Federal League award in <strong>2012</strong>. This past season he<br />

had an average of 35 yards per catch, which was the top in the<br />

league, and 22.7 yards per kick return.<br />

Denissoff’s talent and leadership in every sport he does has<br />

made him deserving of the Athlete of the Year.<br />

soccer team since she was a freshman, earning her<br />

fourth letter in the fall and now the title of the <strong>2012</strong> Athlete<br />

year, First Team All-Federal League for three years, First Team<br />

All-Stark County for three years, First Team All-District for<br />

three years, and Federal League Player of the Year her <strong>senior</strong><br />

year. Her leadership and skill earned her the role of captain her<br />

<strong>senior</strong> year.<br />

She took her athleticism to the court her freshman and sophomore<br />

year earning two letters in basketball and an Honorable<br />

Mention All-District. She was also the star quarterback for Powderpuff<br />

Football her junior and <strong>senior</strong> year.<br />

Helterbran will be playing Division 1 soccer next year at Kent<br />
