Hello! My name is Ryan, I’m a junior and this is my second year on The Dispatch. This year, I will be a part of the print section. Outside of school, I hang out with my best friends Hannah or Charlie, I listen to music, watch movies, work at Wholy Bagel on weekends, or go to barton. I am a part of Bowie’s yearbook and newspaper, so I’m really glad I can continue producing content for both.

BALANCING BAND: Senior football player Cedric Walls quickly hurries onto the field after the 2nd quarter to perform alongside the band. Walls has been in band and football since his freshman year. “After school on game days, I get dressed in my gear and go straight to football,” Walls said. “After that I come down to band to get my instrument and vipers and then I head to the game. I usually get home at around midnight.”

Honestly, that was more put together than I expected.”

FINGERS CROSSED: Senior John Walton crosses his fingers in hopes to win a gift card worth up to 25 dollars. Walton wears his Texas shirt in honor of his plan to attend UT of Austin. “I liked the karaoke at senior day,” Walton said “It was really funny seeing everybody sing in front of a crowd.”

GET A GRIP: Seniors participate in a game of tug-of-war during the track and field part of Senior Day. Activities such as Frisbee and spikeball were available along the track for the seniors to enjoy. “Senior day was a kind of fun way in which everyone can say one last thing to their fellow peers,” Garcia said.

A TOSS GOODBYE: Senior Will Gum tosses his bean bag high while competing in a game of W. Most seniors spent their afternoon attending the track and field mini-games created by Bowie staff members. “I enjoyed the breakfast part of senior day,” Gum said. “And going out to eat lunch with my friends.”

CROWED SPACES: Students pour into the fine arts hall every day, and every day they walk past the newly installed mural.
