!v Last Will: I, Suraj Gupta, leave Ajay, all of our Beukeboom vs. Lindros fights in the base-
ir ment, all of our sleepovers, the Boston Trip, Outdoor Ed, Sparkling Apple Cider, Nut Bread;
i Jon, the night of one thousand fights at Ajay’s house, races to the lounge, a day where you
a do not travel in basketball, fruit roll ups, checking each other into walls; Han, the spray you
] set off in your own room, the beat downs and fights, Dae Dong Restaurant where more food

was on the floor than on the table; Zach, the battle of ten paces in my basement, a duplicate
of Robert Han to beat on whenever you feel like it; Devin, your Sleepover where I actually
got three hours worth of sleep, the day I actually grow taller than you, French class, air hock­
ey table where I reopened your cut; Punit, the Monday morning presentation, the night
where you fell on me ten times at Devin’s house; Ryan, the fact that the Islanders stink, our
hockey conversations and parties; Ed, the bus trip to Boston, the right to beat up anyone
who calls you “ Egg’” ;Marauder, your wild dreams, bus rides back home, sleepovers, anoth­
er person (besides me) who does not like Larry Johnson; Dominator, a day where no one
annoys you, a tie that has nothing to do with Star Trek or Star Wars; Sumeet, the time Dom
locked us in the attic and made us listen to Rocky, a day where your plans to get me in trou­
ble in French class backfire; Bello, a day when I don’t get you mad; Mr Salverda and Dr.
Hamel, a day where you don’t punch me and the great conversations we had. To the school
and faculty, the end of the Gupta tradition and two years I will never forget.
