Senior wills
Desserts, books and an ego are among the treasures they leave behind.
It’s been a good two years, and being of sound mind and body, (though suffering from a serious bout of senioritis) I now must leave you — the younger generation of Edge staffers — and travel on without you.
But I leave with you some of the things I’ve held most dear.
To Amy Friedman: I leave you my French IV notebook, a copy of “Le Petit Prince” and my love of the French language. Go ahead and read the book now, (and not in English.) Trust me, you’ll need it.
To Patrick Mahaney: I leave you my “ how- to” manual on being vegetarian. Give it another shot — I’m counting on you.
To Erinn Hutkin: I leave all four seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy” on DVD. May they remind you of all the times Meredith and Derek’s relationship came first on the agenda.
And finally, to all underclassmen on the staff: I leave a legacy of the greatest senior group ever. Good luck living up to the standard we set for you. Sorry it’s not cash — but it is worth so much more.
Much love to you all!
— Laura Conte, Patrick Henry High School
Well Edge, you have treated me well. However, my time has come. I must go on, traveling down the eternal road of life. Let me lighten my load.
To Alex McDilda: I give you my gigantic ego. Use it well, because it is possibly the best one in the world.
To Claiborne Fletcher: I give you my heart. Don’t hurt it. It’s pretty fragile.
To Erinn Hutkin: I give a lifetime supply of walks down to Zorba’s, plus all the many yummy desserts.
To all upcoming Edgers: I give the ability to walk into a meeting late with a yummy treat in hand and still receive smiles.
Goodbye all!
— Gordon Day, Craig County High School
To Patrick Mahaney: I leave you enough Subway cookies after every meeting to make you fat. Who are you going to sing with on the way to Roanoke every week? And just think, you can make your own decisions. :)
To Alex McDilda: I leave you the ability to keep taking amazing pictures all of the time. Oh, and your own uk ulele so you can keep writing awesome Edge songs.
To Claiborne Fletcher: I leave you a giant pen, published picture captions and some awesome new friends.
To Erinn Hutkin: I leave you with a new group of people to gossip with — don’t miss us too much!
To Amy Friedman: I leave you even more ideas for your already amazing articles. I don’t know if I can leave you this, but I leave you an editor position. Have fun!
To Amanda Codispoti: I leave you all the memories of our meetings...gossip and laughter galore!

I, Nilam Patel, leave the following items to my fellow Edge staffers:
To Taylor Johnson , I leave you my
parking spot in the far parking lot underneath the street light, for it gets very dark during the winter months.
To Claiborne Fletcher, I leave you my memories from
various instances -- from bathroom
breaks to walking down to our cars together. And the boys who've entered out
lives along the way.
To Cameron Austin, I leave you my
crush. OK, well, not leave it to you, but I'm willing to share. :)
To Charlie Clark, I leave you the creative license to write about whatever you want, from grass to leprechauns. And by grass, I do mean lawn grass.

To Amy Friedman, I leave you
memories of our boy conversations, even
though we have very different tastes in men. And a license to harass me because
I have yet to see "Beauty and the
Beast."
To Erinn Hutkin , I leave you with all
my knowledge of sample sales, retail sales and just sales in general. I cannot
thank you enough for giving me every opportunity to succeed at the paper. And
for the friendship that blossomed over shoes and handbags. And clothes and
various other accessories.
To all the future editors, I leave you my ability to annoy
and hassle anyone who does not meet deadline. And the advice to have no shame
in harassing anyone with phone calls, text
messages and/or emails.
