As the school year winds down, its time for Senior Wills, a beloved tradition brought back by last year’s Talon staff. Senior wills are short letters that a senior writes detailing what you leave behind to the underclassmen when you graduate.

The format of the will should be as follows: I, (insert name), being of (insert adjective) mind and (insert adjective) body, do hereby leave (insert what you leave and which underclassman you leave it for)

Senior wills are due on May 2nd and must be submitted by email to amhstalon@gmail.com.

If you are in need of some inspiration, here are some examples from last year’s seniors:

I, Choral Linhart, being of strange mind and unforgettable body, do hereby leave the Varsity girls’ basketball team to Caroline Black, Rachel Biggs and Emily Aysse. Carry on the legacy of Team Teamwork. To English Laserna, I leave behind Team Egg Roll, because Caroline Gibby Black obviously isn’t capable enough yet to have it. And to Ethan Linhart, I leave the Linhart legacy. I know you’ll be a great class President and I am so proud of who you have become over the past couple of years. I love you. 15 or die!

I, Riley Haldrup, being of outstanding mind and outstanding body hereby leave the following. To Jensen I leave the Haldrup legacy– don’t abuse it. To Mary Geer we leave our beloved garden and the Eat Dirt Club (and Instagram of course). To Sarah Hand I leave the strength and patience to make it through another year of dance without the OG seniors. To Madeleine Carens I leave Jensen. To Owen I leave you the privilege of keeping my car cassette/aux cord adapter thing. To Maddie Claire I leave the responsibility of keeping  Mason in line… good luck. I leave Sarah Cate all the the TPMs please keep me updated. I leave Mary Peyton the position of best newspaper writer.

I, Chris Camp, being of stupid mind and stupid body do hereby leave the following. To the entire AMHS boys lacrosse team, I give Chris Shultz a fifth year of eligibility. To my boy Doscher, I leave some well-deserved playing time, a car, and all the success with you-know-who. To Alberg (Ice cube) I give my undying love, a working wrist, and Duke lacrosse tickets. To Nate, I leave presidency of NSHS. To Nathan, I leave the hat you stole. To Mary Kirkland, I leave you free soda whenever  you want. To Campbell and Beckham, I leave leadership of the Children’s Museum. To Emma Hillis, I leave Duke basketball success. To MCP, Laurel, and Emily, I leave the opportunity to eat your own Chick-Fil-A and also free soda. To Felly, I leave 2 boats and a pinecone. To Josh and Reaves I leave each other. To the Magnet community, I leave the finale of the 9-year Camp legacy.
