Meet the extraordinary Class of 2022
Sydney Cicchitto
Staff Writer
To be frank, our four years
at Cal High were very similar
to a lab test.
For every test, there must be a
control group, a trial where there
are no variables present - in our
case, freshman year.
We had the most ‘traditional’
high school experience that
year. As for the other three
years… let’s just say we had
some confounding variables.
You bet those years tested
us, our resilience, and our spirit.
Now that our time at Cal
comes to end, the test results are
in. What you have in front of you
is a stratified sample of what we,
the experiment participants, did
with our four years here.
I must say the data is truly
remarkable, exceeding all
imaginable results.We humbly
present to you : our extraordinary
test results.
a full-on suit underneath [the
trench coat] and I might as well
just get rid of the trench coat
because the suit looks pretty
good on its own,” Katta said.
Katta has worn a suit to school
every day since. You bring class
to our class.
caring about what other people
think of me,” Bronzini said.
“They might think I look stupid
in all orange, but I don’t care.
It’s been a thing for a while and
it just feels right when I wear
it.” Let it be noted our last day
of school is a Thursday.
Will Calvert - Fashion Designer & Hair Artist
From spiders to handprints,
Calvert’s hair has had the most
legendary designs. His most
memorable design was when he
dyed his hair a red and purple
giraffe pattern. “It was so out
there and random at the time
when I first [dyed my hair]...I
just think of things around me
that I like and want to put on
my head,” Calvert said.
Calvert is not only a hair
artist. He also designs clothes.
He started making clothes over
quarantine after he bought a
sewing machine. Since then he
bought a screen printer to make
tees, jackets, hoodies, pants, and
hats. Calvert has created a clothing
brand as well, called Corn.
Adit Karode - Local Food Critic
From reviewing water and
sodas to local and international
eateries, Karode, also known as
Bound2eat, has tried it all and
shared his food experiences
with the people. When he was
younger he wrote a lot of food
reviews on Yelp. One day he
posted a video food review and
was inspired to create Bound2eat.
Under the Instagram handle
of @bound2eat, Karode’s most
popular review was the chicken
sandwich from Popeyes in
Dublin. He vividly described
the sandwich as not being juicy
enough and the fries being a
little soggy.
“My favorite part [of
Bound2eat is] when my friends
bring it up in real life or when
people tell me ‘I need a feature
on Bound2eat’. [It] makes
[Bound2eat] feel like something
I made with my friends and not
just myself,” Karode said. On
behalf of all food lovers, we
thank you for all your reviews,
and are looking forward to all
the foods and reviews to come.
Matteo Aldon - Intern at Pixar
For Pixar Story Xperiental,
a program that is partnered
with Pixar, Aldon won the best
overall story reel for a short
film reel he created titled Ray.
After, Aldon connected with
the director of the program
and shared his portfolio. From
there the rest is history. He was
onboarded as a Pixar and X in
a Box intern.
“It has always been a dream
of mine to work at Pixar,” Aldon
said. “I am definitely not taking
it for granted.” At his internship,
he hosts live streams for weekly
panels with Pixar story artists,
creates some short animations,
and helps out with the Pixar
Story Xperiental program. To
infinity and beyond Teo, to
infinity and beyond, indeed.
Catherine Casserly and Ethan Melvin - Mural Makers
This duo created the largerthan-life
Grizzly mural on the
old gym. The mural originally
began as a legacy project for
leadership class that turned
into an opportunity to beautify
Cal’s campus.
Casserly sketched the design
and Melvin handled the documents
and logistical aspects to
approve a mural on campus.
They then contacted a muralist
who produced a graphic rendering
and then later painted the
mural. The mural is now quite
the spot for campaign videos and
cal spirit photos. Gus Grizzly
has never looked better.
Mara Lampsas - Apple Juice Collector
With about 115 apple juices
collected, Lampsas is the great
apple juice collector on campus.
She began collecting them when
she and her friends would go
get brunch. Her friends would
give her the apple juices they
did not want.
Initially, Lampsas would
drink the boxes they gave her,
but everybody has their limits,
so she stored them in her locker,
thus beginning the marvelous
collection.“Little things like this
have brought my friends closer
together, made school a little
more entertaining, and instead
of throwing things away… start
a collection instead,” Lampsas
said.
Carl De Vera and Carter Soe (pictured) - Boba Drinkers
“I like to think of boba as a
mood booster,” Soe said. “It
always puts me in a good mood
no matter what situation I’m
in, making it a perfect addition
when hanging out with friends.”
If you are unfamiliar with
boba, both Soe and De Vera
say you cannot go wrong with a
jasmine green milk tea. And you
should believe them because as
of right now, De Vera and Soe’s
record boba consumed in a day
is four drinks.
“Getting boba gives me the
feeling of comfort because so
many people like it and I can
always grab boba with new people
and make friends,” De Vera
said. Bottoms up, boba boys.
Rithik Baral - Impressive Car Wrapper
Sishir Katta - Committed Suit Wearer
It all began the second semester
of freshman year when he
was inspired by the video game
“Deus X” character who wore
a trench coat. After wearing the
trenchcoat to school a few times
Katta began modifying what he
wore underneath the trench coat.
“Eventually I started realizing
I was basically just wearing
Nicolas Bronzini - Founder of “Orange Thursdays”
’Twas third grade, and Bronzini
had PE on Thursdays. He
wore his orange shirt on those
days because orange was his
favorite color. From that year
on, Bronzini always wore orange
on Thursdays, and Orange
Thursdays were born. It has
been nine years since then and
the tradition continues. “It has
taught me discipline,” Bronzini
said. Throughout the years
many have tried to participate in
Orange Thursdays, but there has
been no one who has the same
commitment that Bronzini does.
“I just like doing it. One of
the things I had to overcome was
For the 2021 holiday season,
Baral wrapped his 2012 Honda
Civic LX in wrapping paper.
Yep, the whole thing. It was
glorious.
“The hardest part was probably
the bumper because it has
the most curves or the doors
because the wrapping paper had
to be completely flat or else [the
wrapping paper] would fly off,”
Baral said.
To wrap the car, it took a lot
of wrapping paper, tape, and
eight hours of work. When his
festively wrapped car made its
big debut, everyone who spotted
it in the parking lot was amazed.
This was not Baral’s first time
working on his car. Rumor has
it, his car will be wrapped again
next holiday season.
There you have it,Grizzlies.
Raw data and facts that show the
endless potential of the Class of
2022. These four years tested
us with every unbelievable
variable, but we accomplished
great things. Beakers up to you
Class of 2022.

Senior Issue B3
What will you remember in 10 years?
The Californian seniors
answer that question with a
time capsule of high school
What would you put in a time
capsule to help you remember
high school 10 years from now?
Well, The Californian seniors
asked themselves that question
and came up with some items to
actually put in a “time capsule”
that will be stored in the school
library.
Here’s what we have.
Fleedwood Mac CD: The
item I put into the time capsule
is a Fleetwood Mac CD. This
was the CD that I played when
studying for every test of my
entire high school career starting
from freshman year to the AP
exams during senior year.
This album is now consistently
linked to high school for
me, so it will be interesting to
know whether I still recognize
the album in 10 years the same
way I do now. - Hannah Shariff
Covid Test: I chose to put
a COVID-19 test into the time
capsule for obvious reasons, but
mainly because it’s a big part of
the 2020-2022 era. A lot of people
had COVID, knew people
who got COVID, got COVID
scares, or all of the above.
This is an extra COVID-19
rapid test I didn’t use from the
day I was sick and thought I had
it. - Melody Mulugeta
Face Mask: This had become
such an apparent part of what we
deemed a new society for two
years, something that most of
us will never forget. Memories
vary from good to bad. Some
remember learning how to
home-make them, while others
remember seeing the constant
fluctuation of their price as the
pandemic progressed.
In 10 years the question
stands of whether we’ll still
need them? - Hannah Shariff
A very special face mask:
This mask was the mask I wore
when my twin, Ari, crashed my
newspaper period and pulled
me out to tell me they had been
accepted to University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor. We hugged and
they accidentally ripped one of
the strings on the mask.
The mask represents a happy
moment for me, and also brings
memories of the especially
difficult Class of 2022 college
application season. - Nicholas
Harvey
The second issue of The Californian
from our freshman
year: This was an important
issue because it mentions events
that we still remember, such as
the City Center opening. Although
the opening feels like a
forever ago, seeing the building
grow from the ground up to it
now becoming a staple in how
we live.
Overall this issue is really
fun to look through and see how
many stories still apply four
years later and see what movies
just came out. (By the way,
they were “Fantastic Beasts:
The Crimes of Grindelwald”
and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”) If
it applies four years later, will
it be 14 years later? - Melody
Mulugeta and Hannah Shariff
Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser:
This was dropped off by
a random senior to add to our
time capsule, and we know
why. These erasers are a prized
possession for anyone who encounters
any misspelled words,
mistakes, and errors on their
school papers.
The Pentel eraser has stuck by
our side through our countless
days and nights of homework,
and we hope to continue using
it in our near future.
Pop-It: If it isn’t self-explanatory
enough, Pop-Its have been
a toy phenomenon since the
fidget spinner. It looks like a
simple gadget, but people have
found it very stress relieving
and fun to just pop the silicone
bubbles all day. I’m sure there
will be another strange worldwide
phenomenon by the time
this capsule gets opened again.
- Hannah Shariff
Toilet paper: This may look
very strange at first, but it would
be wrong not to add a toilet
paper roll to a time capsule
made during the COVID-19
pandemic. Once the virus was
first announced as pandemic,
toilet papers immediately began
going out of stock because
millions of families were buying
it up.
Hopefully this allows you
to appreciate the privilege of
getting toilet paper without
having to fight for your life for it
at Safeway. - Melody Mulugeta
Hair claw and scrunchies:
Today, it’s very common to
see people wear hair claws and
scrunchies in their hair. Whether
it’s a top bun or a ponytail,
scrunchies and hair claws have
been the go-to hair trend for
Cal High students. - Melody
Mulugeta
An (empty) box of apple
juice from the cafeteria: The
apple juice craze of brunch that
has hit us all is undeniable.
It has been the one constant
throughout senior year. I mourn
for the future generations of Cal
High students that will have
to go without this holy grail
when our budget inevitably
gets redirected to pour more
money into something that
will constitute less utils for the
students. - Carol Chen
A Minion figurine: My apologies
if you are unfamiliar with
this yellow magnificent potato.
This minion, Tim, was gifted
by an awesome minion-loving
friend of mine in economics
class this year (incentives
matter).
Minions have always been
my role model and I hope to
pass on their wisdom to those
who open this time capsule. This
summer “The Minions: Rise of
Gru “will be out in theaters, a
very big year for minions.In
fact, on the day of May 25, my
friends all dressed in minion
attire and I was their leader, Gru.
You can say minions mean
a lot to me. Kanpai (cheers in
minionese)! -Sydney Cicchitto
Among Us stamp: My two
boys were so excited when I
opened my blind box to see I
got my favorite crewmate: the
plague doctor. Among Us got

us through many boring days
of quarantine and my English
9 students have enjoyed the
stamp on their work I check off,
even though they did find it a
bit sus at first. So I don’t seem
that way to my future students,
I’m making this contribution to
the senior time capsule. - Brian

Plagued by fires, bomb threats, a global pandemic, and general high school mayhem, the Class of 2022’s high school experience has been unlike any other. With the year drawing to a close, the Class
The Class of 2022 reflects on
It’s been a weird, wild ride - from the pandemic
to wild fires to cotton candy vape - but this year’s
seniors have expierenced it all, and then some

As the final days of senior
year tick down, now is a good
time to reflect upon our time at
Cal High and the way our lives
have shifted in just a few short,
or at time long, years.
What better place to start than
back in 2018. Now, let’s look
back at our four year journey
known as high school.
Freshman Year
Freshman year was all about
getting used to the new campus
and the feeling of just being a
bit more independent. It was
strange but it taught us how to
juggle classes and multitask
more effectively.
It was a time of uncertainty
and confusion, a new world.
Hanging out with older students
made the transition easier for
some of us than it might have
been for others. It was nice having
an aged group to explain this
foreign land of high school to us.
Seniors were wise and interesting
to talk to back in the day.
Perhaps you had bad experiences
with seniors in your early
high school career, but for some
of us they were people to look up
to and aspire to be in the future.
During freshman year many
of us little freshmen witnessed
the booming of the vape industry.
Walk into any bathroom
and the squad was lighting up.
Everybody knew somebody that
was lighting up. Nowadays it
has died down but back then it
was wild.
These were simpler times and
people were more happy and living
life before the pandemic set
a feeling of isolation that many
of us still can’t shake off. It’s
wild how drastically the world
can change in a few years.
Another booming economy
besides vaping was memes.
Kids screaming for directions
in a Ugandan accent, moths
making love to lamps, people
eating Tide Pods, a whole heap
of political memes, a young
yodeling cowboy, Mark Zuckerburg
in court and the Infinity
War memes.
In the world of commerce,
our beloved City Center Bishop
Ranch opened, bringing a
plethora of high-cost luxury
shops that only Blackhawk
residents could frequent. And,
of course, Boba Guys, a boba
tea establishment where half the
drinks aren’t even tea.
Some of us recall that 2018
was a great year for gaming
because of the many hailed
games released that year. One of
the most highly praised games
of the time was “God of War
PS4”. It had amazing visuals
and smooth gameplay. Another
game people were drooling over
was “Marvel’s Spider Man”.
After a few soulless movie tie-in
games they struck oil.
2018 was an interesting year
for music with the release of
Drake’s “God’s Plan” as well
as multiple other hits in the
industry.
Movies turned the tide with
mega hit blockbusters gracing
the silver screen, such as
phenomenon that was “Infinity
War”. The film was discussed
everywhere and even prompted
some fights because some people
were prone to share spoilers.
On a more serious note, our
first semester also saw the Camp
Fire in Butte County, one of
the most deadly and the most
financially destructive wildfire
in American history. The day of
school we had off on Nov. 16
was a wake-up call for many
that climate change was having
real-world consequences in our
community.
We had a stellar introduction
to high school life when on Sept.
5, a vague threat of violence
ws levied at Cal. Even worse,
smoke from a culinary arts class
set off the fire alarm the next day,
the day the supposed threat was
supposed to happen. A fitting
introduction to Cal High.
Our freshman year, a mural
of a grizzly bear was painted
on the old gym, bringing some
miniscule amount of color to our
otherwise dreary walls.
On campus, a musically inclined
group of teachers formed
the band known today as Partial
Credit.
In other news, Christopher
George became principal at the
start of the year... and then left
his position at the end of the
year, leaving room for Megan
Keefer to arrive the start of our
sophomore year.
- Evan Heinz
Sophomore Year
The year everything changed.
It started off like any other
school year, but little did we
know it would be the calm
before the storm.
Before it was named the “Zen
Den”, the Wellness Center was
introduced to Cal’s campus,
located in the administration
building.
I honestly can’t imagine
a world without that blessed
place. Stressed? Take a break to
feel the satisfaction of dragging
a fork through a box of sand.
Need to calm down? Enjoy a cup
of tea while lounging with an
endless array of stuffed animals.
What more could you possibly
want?
Cal was hit by a huge increase
in transfers with almost
a hundred students coming from
Dougherty Valley. Despite our
rival’s alleged academic prowess,
it seemed like Cal, instead,
was the place to be.
This year also marked our
last homecoming dance indoors,
with flip book photo booths,
It’s-It ice cream sandwiches and
Mario Kart stations. Thankfully,
it wasn’t as disastrous as the
one our previous year if you
can remember that unfortunate
incident with the collapsing barrier
in the Event Center.
Our campus also received
a badly needed addition when
vape detectors were installed in
the bathrooms. Gone were the
days of those strawberry scented
stalls, or so we thought. Turns
out, the detectors could be set off
by any kind of aerosol product,
even a spray of perfume would
do the trick.
Looks like vaping got away
this time. Vaping-1, Cal-0.
Then came what could only
be described as a series of unfortunate
events. From thefts
in the men’s locker room to
the webstore being hacked, it
seemed like a storm was brewing,
but what could it be?
Then it came on the ill-fated
day of Friday the 13th in the
month of March. The day when
the SRVUSD YouTube channel
probably had its highest viewership
ever.
The San Ramond Valley
Unified School District Board
of Education decided to cancel

four year of surreal insanity
classes until spring break. Some
celebrated this as an extended
vacation, others grumbled that
COVID-19 wasn’t much worse
than the flu.
Whatever it was, it seemed
to never end. Days turned into
weeks and weeks turned into
months.
As the pandemic began to
ravage our world, students who
didn’t have to spend as much
time on school were able to
discover new hobbies and passions,
creating a renaissance of
creativity within the often dour
lives of high school juniors.
TikTok trends kept us busy
as mortal men discovered the
power of whipped coffee and
bread making, but nothing could
prepare us for what came next.
- Shiphrah Moses
Junior Year
The continuation. The year
where everything and nothing
happened at the same time.
At this point in the pandemic,
a lot more people took up new
hobbies. Impulse purchases
were made, TikTok inspired
meals were eaten, shows were
binged, Minecraft was crafted,
well that was until Among Us
came along.
Hats off to you Among
Us, you served us well. No
seriously, you expanded my
vocabulary. The word ‘sus’ was
introduced into my lingo just
as ‘where we dropping’ was
years earlier.
We had the scare of Schooloop
being taken away. I
remember the fear of using
a different grading app. That
would have been awful.
The most unique places to
attend school were uncovered.
But attending school in those
unique spaces often comes with
the risk of unmuting while in
the middle of blending your
smoothie or communicating in
a language you speak with the
intent of only your dog hearing.
During this time we learned
a lot about our roommates also
known as family, like the true
culprit of who never puts their
dishes in the dishwasher or
how often our siblings really
poo a day.
We also learned the significance
of sitting ergonomically.
My body will forever be shaped
by the way I sat for seven hours
with my neck forward, mouth
open, shoulders high, and back
curvaceously hunched all to
be beholden by my wondrous
laptop.
We grew more intimate with
our computers this year, like
what pushes our computer to
the point that the fan must be on.
Math. It’s always math.
Then school ended? Meaning
no more logging on to Zoom
while in bed.
No more running down stairs
to collect a piece of toast while
in class.
No more teaching our pets
how to find the derivative.
No more worrying about wifi
connectivity.
No more virtual school for
the summer.
We were changed, to say the
least from, this virtual learning
experience. We bid you, adieu
junior year (woah adieu has
a lot of different vowels in it,
huh? That’s an astute observation.
Maybe I should use it as a
starting word in Wordle).
- Sydney Cicchitto
Senior Year
A marvelous return. A glorious
comeback. Masked faces
emerged from black boxes and
Zoom links turned into real
classrooms. School was back
in session!
While it was the same old Cal
High campus we were returning
to, school looked a lot different
than how we left it back in
March of 2020.
First, a moment of silence
for our dear friend, Schoolloop.
While we will never get
to experience the satisfaction of
checking off assignments from
the task list again, the memory of
our favorite school management
app will never leave us.
Dear Schoolloop, Schoology
doesn’t hold a candle to your
magnificence. We missed like
a dear childhood friend. Sadly,
we never even got to share a
juice box together.
We also returned to a campus
that looked slightly less like a
prison with the addition of a
colorful mural on the World
Language building.
Each classroom greeted
students with a gallon sized
container of hand sanitizer and
a box of masks.
While seemingly innocent,
the larger-than-life disinfectant
quickly gained notoriety. Its rancid
smell and sticky texture had
people running to the bathrooms
to wash off the substandard
substance.
One way or another, though,
people’s hands still ended up
clean.
Nobody could have predicted
the success of “Squid
Game” when it was released in
September 2021, unleashing a
storm in the meme world. Was
the dalgona coffee trend of 2020
a predictor of the dalgona scene
in “Squid Game”? The world
may never know, but it seems
pretty sus.
From lunch seating to rallies
to homecoming, everything was
moved outdoors. While some
still managed to sneak their
meals into the main building,
the majority of the student body
was left to bear the elements on
their own.
Homecoming was a surprising
success. It’s a lot easier to
mosh in the open air compared
to being cooped up in the Event
Center. We can’t say the rallies
were much more spirited than
they usually were, but we guess
some things never change at
Cal High.
One tradition that returned
to Cal was Senior Ball in San
Francisco.
Sparkly dresses, suits and
ties, limos and party buses,
seniors went all out for their
last big high school dance.
The blackjack tables were an
interesting addition for a schoolsponsored
event, but we’re not
complaining.
The food on the other hand,
well let’s just say it was a mixed
bag. The tacos were definitely
not worth the nearly hour-long
wait in line. The ice cream tacos,
however, stole the show.
Overall, I’m just glad we
didn’t get food poisoning (I’m
looking at you juniors. Sorry
about that).
While we were away on
our senior picnic, enjoying the
hour-long line for Medusa as
Dougherty Valley kids waited
for excitement to visit Disneyland,
our younger peers
on campus dealt with a literal
garbage fire, forcing the entire
main building to evacuate.
A literal garbage fire—a very
appropriate end to our tiring
and never-ending high school
career.
Now, with the year coming
to an end, we look back at all
these memories, the good, the
bad and the ugly with a certain
fondness.
- Shiphrah Moses
The Class of 2022 lived
through everything, from our
first and only normal year as
freshmen to the chaos of online
learning in a global pandemic
as sophomores and juniors to
our return to campus as seniors.
A different adventure lies
before us now, but the last four
years of Cal will always be
memorable.
Goodbye Grizzlies.

Many teachers say goodbye to Cal High
Nicholas Harvey
Editor in Chief
Cal High will say goodbye to
several teachers this year.
Among the list of those retiring
or not returning include
English teachers Kalise Ahern,
Danielle Caddy and Devan
Manning, world history and philosophy
teacher Tyler Gulyas,
marine biology teacher Douglas
Mason, Spanish teacher Nicole
Resendiz, and physics teacher
Deborah Sater.
Of these, Mason, Resendiz,
and Sater are retiring.
Additionally, Peggy Conklin
and Gunilla Norton in the front
office will be retiring, while
bookkeeper technician Deborah
Wong and Lori Ann Mitchell in
the library will also be leaving,
according to the San Ramon
Valley Unified School District
Board of Education meeting
agendas. Caddy and Resendiz
confirmed they are leaving
and were honored Wednesday
at the final staff meting with
the others.
Several other members of the
school staff retired or resigned
in the middle of the year.
Conklin and Norton, who
work at the front attendance
desk, said Cal’s students were
one of their favorite parts of
working here.
“Speaking for me, I have
loved being up here,” said
Conklin, who started working
at Cal in 1999. “We have a lot
of interaction with the students.
We love the kids. The staff has
been great.”
Norton, who was been at Cal
for 12 years, said working with
the same students for four years
was a positive experience.
“Watching the students develop
from the time they come
in as freshmen and to see how
they progressed to seniors is
amazing,” Norton said.
Conklin added that students’
sense of humor was enjoyable,
including hearing outlandish
excuses they used to sign out.
They both look forward to
retirement.
“I’m actually moving to
Reno, and I’m looking forward
to spending a lot of time in
Tahoe, hiking, and kayaking,”
Norton said.
Mason is retiring after 22
years of teaching at Cal. He said
interacting with students was
the best part of being a teacher.
“I’ve had students that are a
little indifferent to the academics,
but I can’t remember having
a student who was really difficult,
who had a bad attitude,”
Mason said. “The students here
are so easy to get along with”.
Mason said he plans on traveling
and volunteering during
his retirement.
His students, even those not
initially interested in science,
said he made the class engaging.
“He contextualizes his teaching
in a way that makes students
genuinely take an interest in the
subject… not just an intellectual
interest, but also an emotional
investment,” senior Daniela
Kuthy-Cervantes said.
Sater, who teaches Honors
Physics, used a variety of unique
labs to teach her classes.
“One project we were doing
was sewing, and in another
project we were building roller
coasters,” sophomore Kaartik
Tejwani said.
Sater’s classes were known
for the physics boat races in
the pool at the end of the year.
Manning, who is also curriculum
leader for the English
department, is leaving for several
reasons, namely that her
partner may need to relocate for
work and that the pandemic has
affected her mental health and
teaching ability.
“I know that my own mental
health is important, and I need a
break,” Manning said. “There’s
a very good likelihood that I will
come back once I’m rested.”
Manning also designed the
curriculum at Cal for the Sci-Fi/
Fantasy class, which she taught

for the first time last year.
One of Manning’s students
said she was willing to help
students with their problems.
“For a lot of people, she’s
going to be that important
adult figure in their life,” said
senior Eliana Steele, who was
in Manning’s English 9 class
and is the president of GSA,
which Manning advises. “[If
students] don’t want to go to a
counselor about a problem that
they’re having, she is the kind
of person who will step in and
help you out no matter what.”
Manning said she is working
next year with a writing
non-profit.
Caddy hopes to return to
teaching in the future.
“It has been a joy working
alongside so many young
people who care about implementing
restorative justice
practices on a school- and even
district-wide scale,” Caddy said
in reference to the Restorative
Justice Coalition club, which
she advises.
Gulyas said he was leaving
because the pandemic had intensified
his cognitive dissonance
in regards to compulsory public
education.
“When the pedagogical
relationship is fundamentally
predicated on violence, that is,
if you do not attend my class,
and do the thing, I can have your
parents arrested, essentially ...
[it] establishes a dysfunctional
relationship that is an impediment
to an education.”
Gulyas is moving to San
Diego to be closer to his wife’s
family. He said he plans on
reactivating his mental health
counselor license and possibly
teaching community college.
He said much of his role as
a teacher was essentially counseling,
and that mental health
issues were a major problem
he had with the school system,
using an analogy with a grocery
store.
“Imagine if you went into
a grocery store and there was
a room off to the side... where
Dear underclassmen, here’s some good advice
Some of The Californian seniors
have a few insights about
their high school experience.
Here are their words of wisdom.
I’m going to be honest with
you. If I were an underclassmen
listening to a senior giving me
advice, I’d give them 30 seconds
of my attention before drifting
away to dream of my next procrastination
session. But here’s
to hoping that this advice isn’t
just a shot in the dark and that it
may fall on the ears that need it.
I don’t claim to be wise. I’m
not sure I have much, if anything
figured out about my future. I
do, however, have one special
power: living in the moment. I
know, I know, it sounds cliché,
but just hear me out.
So many come into high
school thinking these four years
are just a transitional phase until
they get to start their “real lives”,
and too many leave unsatisfied.
The truth is these four years
can have so much in store for
you, more than just studying
to get into your dream college.
Take time to look at the hills
from the main building window,
go to that school event, bask in
the laughter of your friends at
lunch. There’s no need to reminisce,
the good old days are now.
- Shiphrah Moses
I’m going to use some buzzwords
to catch your attention.
Getting into a top 10 school
won’t fix all the problems you
create in order to gain that acceptance.
High test scores and
perfect grades are not absolutes
to achieving your goals. Nothing
is absolute beyond what has
already passed.
Be productive in high school
in a way that matters to you, not
in a way that matters to college
admissions. “High school” is
an arbitrary label placed upon
a formative four years of your
life, and associating the infinite
possibilities of 1,460 days with
negative connotations before
you even experience them is
a recipe for fruitless success.
Work hard in what you love
and stay healthy, and the rest
will follow.
- Carol Chen
In short, high school rocked
my world. It can be cruel, but the
awesome part of high school is
finding a way to live in a world
that can be a cruel (I’m not a
pessimist, I swear).
Anyhow, I think everybody
feels a bit fragile about who they
are. The world’s cruelness can
make expressing yourself or
trying something new extremely
difficult. We don’t want to fail
miserably and then feel like we
must take shelter under a rock
and live there permanently.
But you see, if we do not try
to show and uncover all the parts
of ourselves then we would be
missing out on the incredible
moments that come from being
brave - the moments where you
rock the world.
Take the small risks as well
as big ones as you never know
what you will find. Do not ever
hold yourself back, I promise,
you can do anything you set your
mind to. If what you were aiming
for doesn’t work out, then
you will be OK and if not, then
you will also be OK. Spend time
finding yourself. It’s scary, but
you will make the unforgettable
memories along the way.
Please, please, please, I beg of
you, know how special you are.
You have so much potential. The
best part is you are just getting
started on embarking on your
journey and I guarantee you are
going to rock high school and
then the world.
- Sydney Cicchitto
By the time you graduate,
nearly a quarter of your life
will have been spent in high
school. As a freshman or sophomore,
middle and maybe even
elementary school seem like
fresh memories. But looking
back as a senior, even eighth
grade seems like forever ago. I
can almost guarantee that by the
time you graduate, you will be a
changed person: more mature,
thoughtful, responsible, and
insightful into your own wants
and needs.
Know your limits academically.
There’s no point in loading
up on AP and honors classes if
it means you won’t have time

to make memories. When you
graduate high school, you take
with you the memories you’ve
made, by which you’re going to
remember high school for the
rest of your life. It’s important to
work hard, but high school is not
the place to become completely
burnt out and lose the joy for the
things you love.
Drop that AP class. Take off a
period from school. Be serious
about what you want academically
but also be serious about
what you want socially. Don’t
get lost in petty social drama.
Find your people. Do that thing
you’ve been wanting to do:
now’s the best chance you’ll
have to do it.
Listen to yourself, and you’ll
be surprised what you can accomplish.
I know I am.
- Ari Harvey
Of my favorite moments in
high school, being accepted
into Stanford probably doesn’t
make the top 10. I was ecstatic
to get in, but soon after I had to
continue studying for semester
finals and doing all the daily
people just went to scream,
because they were angry,”
Gulyas said. “You would think
‘Oh my God, why is there a
room? Why is this grocery store
so insanity-inducing, that they
built a counseling center in it’?”
Resendiz has been teaching
Spanish for 26 years, with the
last four at Cal. She said being
a Grizzly has been an awesome
experience because Cal has her
favorite students.
“The student body and staff
are just so kind and welcoming,”
Resendiz said.
After retiring, Resendiz is
moving out-of-state and said
she may stay in education as
a tutor.

tasks high school seniors have. I
was proud of and grateful for my
accomplishment, but all-in-all
it didn’t change my life much.
It’s hard to pick a favorite
moment from high school, but
among the highlights include:
sitting in a Denny’s after school
events chatting with friends;
working for the City of San
Ramon through the iQuest class;
hanging out with my fellow
Scouts at summer camp making
tea from fir trees; creating the
first ever participatory budgeting
program in the Tri-Valley;
and the late-night drive with a
couple of friends where I finally
came out as bi.
What these all have in common
is that I either did something
that helped my community
beyond the grade book,
or I spent time with the people
around me. You should mold
your high school career around
these two concepts.
