The Day That Defined Our Generation
On September 11th, 2001, the tragedies in New York and Washington became
ours. As a nation, we responded with grief, outrage, generosity, and patriotism.
In the following days and weeks, as the events of that day became chillingly
clear, innumerable stories of triumph and heartbreak emerged from the wreck
age. Watching these events unfold, we were taught what it means to be an
American like no civics book could teach us; we were taught that our freedom
is not a right but a privelege, and we were shown in unmistakable terms that life
is a gift that is precious and fleeting. The events of that day will shape the way
our generation sees the world, our country, and the future. Unlike graduates
before us, we will enter this new stage in life forever changed.
We dedicate our book to those who lost their lives,
their loved ones, their innocence ...

- Spirit Week
- our inrze,r maniacs ta~ contro[-
With nothing but evil in our hearts, we took to the halls of
Smithfield High School for our outrageous spirit week once
again. Insanity immediately overtook even the kindest and
sweetest of our Sentinels as they attempted to sabotage other
classes' plans for the festivities.
Among the newer costume days was "Hillbilly Day," which we
all found mildly amusing (e mphasis on the mildly), and the
wildly popular Hawaiian SIASH Tie Dye Day. Only at Smithfield,
really.
