Temecula Valley High School Mock Trial Team

Memories

• Keri winning Best Bailiff and Kelly winning Best Defense Attorney in Riverside County!
• Evidence football in the basement
• The singing bailiff from Poly
• The tiny 10 by 10 room
• Getting cheated out of a round (then we would have been undefeated!!)
• Don and Nick's hacking loogies on cars
• "Your other left hand"
• Ahhhh....Big Booty!
• Chupalo still lives on!
• Patrick got jipped out of Best E.J. Arnold!
• "Excuse me sir, I'm going to have to ask you to spit out your gum." "I'm not chewing gum." "Then, what are you chewing?" (spits out a wad of thread) "I don't care, spit it out!"
• (2001 Space Oddssey Music playing)We met again Poly...
• Impeaching all of Arlington's witnesses
• Is their Officer Jan Benares going to cry?!
• Ralph's introduction to everyone at the clerk/bailiff meeting
• Bus being 20 minutes late on a cold morning!
• Drew and Patrick's laser light show in the back of the bus
• Corona's arrogant attorney
• Arlington attorney objecting "argumentative" on every question (Example: ""Good morning Professor E.J. Arnold" "OBJECTION! Argumentative!!")
• The return of the green power ranger
• Jerry, Justin and Jeremy come back to watch!
• Keri getting told off by an official (Excuse me ma'am, you're not allowed to sit there. I'm going to have to ask you to move." "I know, I know!!" 2 minutes later...she follows Keri out..."You know, I can be your next judge")
• The Shhhhh game in Ramona High School auditorium
• Drew and his "swamp gas" Even though we came in 5th out of 22 teams, we still had fun :-).
  ~*Special Messages to the Mock Trial Team*~

  Hi Everyone!

  I just want to tell all of you congratulations for placing 5th overall in Mock Trial Competition. All of you put so much hard work into it and it really paid off. All of you mean so much to me and you will always hold a special place in my heart. You guys are the greatest! All of you have made such a huge impact on my life; it can't be put into words. . From the bottom of my heart, thanks a million.

  John and Mr. Waugh: I cannot thank you enough for all the hard work you have put into Mock Trial. Most of all, I want to thank you for your encouraging words and putting faith in us when we needed it the most. I'm really going to miss you guys! Mr. Waugh-always remember, third times a charm :)

  Seniors: Hey fellow seniors! Well, I hope you had a great time on Mock Trial this year. Thank you for adding so much fun to the team. Best of luck to y'all in college :)

  Pre-Trial Peeps:You guys are amazing! At least the Mother Hen wasn't there this year :) Keep on rockin! P.S. Stacie-thank your mom for the donuts!

  Ralph : We were so truly blessed to have you on the team this year. You were such a great clerk, one of the best I've seen in all my years of Mock Trial. Thank you for always being there for me (especially reassuring me before rounds) and for adding so much laughter to the team. Thank you for introducing Big Booty to Mock Trial. Big Booty will definately live on in Mock Trial history. Fug-get-about-it! :)

  Nick: Nick, Nick, Nick... Thank you for always adding humor and jokes to the team (even if they were in the form of sick jokes). And thank you most of all for rooting me on when I won Best Bailiff. It really meant a lot to me. Have fun with Mock Trial next year (of course you know it won't be as fun without me there :) j/k) Chupalo!

  Patrick: The return of the Phantom!! You did an outstanding job as Professor E.J. Arnold this year. You really should have won the award. Thank you for adding so much laughter to the team this year with your great sense of humor. Please keep in touch :)

  Don: Wow, another year has gone by! You added so much fun to the team this year. You'll be a star Pre-Trial attorney next year. Best of luck to you next year :) (Remember not to directly shoot ice at someone's face when they are sitting 1 foot behind you :))

  Shauna: You did an excellent job as an prosecution attorney this year! Thank you for all your smiles throughout the year.

  All other attorneys: Hey there you stud-misters! You all did an outstanding job this year. You guys really helped the team.

  Kristin: Hey there Miss Clerk! Congratulations on getting nominated after only 1 round!! You did a wonderful job. Good job on telling that attorney from Poly off! :) Best of luck to you next year.

  Erin: You were such a great Sandy Lopez this year. You added so much fun to the team. Mock Trial and ASB are truly blessed to have you. Best of luck next year!

  All other witnesses: All of you did such a fantastic job in your roles this year. Each of you should have won because of your excellent performance. To all those returning next year-good luck! :)(Sheena-I love your laugh!)

  Drew: It was so much fun having you on the team this year. You added so much laughter to the team (especially with passing gas in the small room and the laser light show in the back of the bus). I hope you return to Mock Trial next year because you are such a valuble commodity to the team. Don't keep sniffing that swamp gas! :)

  Sophia, Vivian, Shannon and Megan:You guys are too cute! I wish we could have talked more throughout the season. However, I'm so glad that I got to meet you guys this year. I hope you come back to the team next year. I'll keep in touch :)

  Heather: Heather, Heather, Heather...You are one of the nicest people I know. Thank you for always bringing your wonderful sense of humor to practice and competition. Always remember the soccer game in the hall with the candy :) I really hope you come back to the team next year.

  Warren: El capitan!! You did an excellent job handling both prosecution and defense attorney roles this year. You still added your wit and charm to your performance. Thanks for all the laughs :)

  Lissa: I'm so glad that you were on the team this year. Thank you for listening to me when I was complaining about Winter Formal. You are such a sweetie. I hope we stay in touch. :)

  The Brittanys, Christine, & Heather V.: All of you did such a great job this year. Thank you for bringing such class and humor to Mock Trial this year. I hope you all come back next year. :)

  Kelly:Hello fellow winner! :) You are such a sweet person. Thank you for always telling funny and sarcastic remarks at practice and during competition. I'm glad that we've got to be on Mock Trial together for 4 years now and I hope that we stay in touch after graduation. You are such a great friend and it was lots of fun having you on the team and in NHS this year :-)

  Special Message to everyone: I cannot thank you enough for everything you did this year. This was definately one of the best (if not the best) team I've been on in all my years of high school. At the beginning of the school year, I thought that this year's team wasn't going to pull through since we never really got to know each other. But, by the last day of competition, we truly felt like a family. Most of all, I want to thank you for your never-ending support during the Mock Trial awards ceremony. It made me feel so special that you guys kept cheering for me throughout the whole ceremony (even when others were getting their awards). I cannot tell you how much it meant to me. When I got home that night, my eyes teared up just at the thought of it because I knew that my teammates actually cared about me. I'm really going to miss you all next year. I don't think I could have asked for a better way to leave Mock Trial (maybe getting in the top 4, but that's beside the point :)). I will come back and visit next year. If you guys need any help, I'll be more than happy to help :) Thank you all for a wonderful year!
