“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids to work
together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”

Chase Waite from front page
If he doesn’t go into sports broadcasting,
he might think about being a public address
announcer. He did some P.A. work at the
Eagles football games. He wasn’t intimidated
by something he’d never done before and
learned very quickly.
Chase stays active these days by shooting
baskets, playing the keyboard and staying
involved in the Special Effects Club. Though
he hasn’t played basketball for the Eagles,
he recently made the Los Angeles Elite
Basketball club team. He would play every
day after school with friends, but now he’s
been shooting by himself. He got involved in
the Special Effects Club, thanks to his best
friend, Ray. They are currently working on
a scary horror movie.
Chase’s greatest passion is making others
smile. So when he’s not studying lines for a
play, you can find him in writing funny and
entertaining rap lyrics. “I love to write funny
and entertaining rap songs that I post on my
YouTube Channel called ‘The DAWG Vlog.’”
He added,” it’s fun to make my friends smile
and laugh by recording the songs.”
Chase is very close with his family and
you can be sure they have plenty of family
nights these days. They do so by watching
movies, playing board games together and
listening to Chase play the keyboard.
Chase is upbeat about the world and life,
in general, these days. He, like the rest of
us, sees the challenges and misses going out
to eat with his family, having the freedom
to hang out with his friends and attending
school in general. But he says, “This bump in
the road of history will soon be a memory.”
When the class of 2020 has their reunions,
they will most likely reminisce about their four
years in high school, especially their senior
year. Many people will be remembered, but
few will stand out for what they meant to the
school and their classmates. Chase Waite is one
of those who will be remembered as a best
friend who made them smile and feel good
about themselves. He said, “I love to make
people laugh and I hope everyone remembers
me as a happy and positive guy.” No doubt,
Chase has left his imprint of keeping others
happy, hopeful and positive. •
