Another year, another band of YIS graduates.

Congratulations to those members.

Some messages… Maybe this will be an yearly thing….

Anton -
One hell of a run.
Thanks for all of your help in Chowa Yearbook, being an awesome camera wingman, and all the other stuff you took care of in between.
I know I gave you a lot of $#!+ t too, but it has been an honor.
Yearbook and YIS will be totally boring without you… We don’t have enough people like ya.
Good luck in San Francisco and bring back some good photos!

Jun -
Were you a member of Chowa? No? Yea? Docchi?
Yeah. That’s right. The Jun Way.
I never figured out if you worked or not, but I’m happy to believe that you probably did.
Thanks for all of the hard work and dedication to Tuesday & Thursday afternoons (and Chowa :P).
And good luck in all of your ventures!

Marie -
Hyperactive, courteous, hyperactive, cheerful, hyperactive.
Though I probably made fun of you as much as Anton, I hope I wasn’t that annoying, haha.
Thanks for all of your help and being a cool student.
I told you you’d walk into Waseda.
Your hard work at YIS has been rewarded, but keep on fightin’!

Yuria -
I am going to miss your super happy fun time rhythm and ism.
And making fun of Marie was a lot of fun too.
Good job on all your art and it was always great listening to you sing at all the concerts.
Stay cool, stay smart, stay happy and stay in touch!

Kaoru -
We never really talked a lot, but can’t leave off one of the four H’s.
That would be a crime.
Congratulations and hope you like the University of Washington!
Hope you like Seattle too, though it can be a unique town.

Yusuke -
Like Jun, I still don’t know if you’re a member of Chowa or not, haha.
Just kidding, thanks for all of the hard work and all that.
I think you probably served most as Chowa’s punching bag though.
Good work on HYNA and all that too.
It was good to always talkin’ with ya, and definitely come crash school in between classes at Jochi.

Xun Yao -
Crazy man, you way too hima.
But thanks for all of the hard work in Chowa.
You definitely brought something to the table all the time.
Try not to OD on the WoW and good luck!
Feel free to wander around the school this summer too, should you be bored enough!

HJL -
HJL, the original Class of 2009 Chowa member.
I think.
Anyways, thanks always for the hard work and dedication.
Awesome cover work and good work on the business end.
Good luck!

Emma -
Thanks for all the hard work!
Prom 2008, Y150, the Video, one hell of a run.
It was a shame the end of the year video imploded, but I swear that I will make an after-video of sorts.
Good luck and keep in touch!

Misa -
The Saxophonist!
It was too bad you weren’t around in music the last half of this year.
I was totally messing around and chillin’ with BB and the bands.
We still got that UN concert to put together, so let’s get it rollin’!

Ary -
You never got around to photo club, haha :D
But it was definitely always fun chatting with you.
I’ll miss your chill & relaxed presence in the halls.
How do you do it man???
Thanks for everything and  hopefully the UN stuff goes good too!

Everyone Else -
Congratulations and good luck!
