Laura Reynolds ...Keep smiling, keep shin- ing, knowing you can always count on me. For sure, That's what friends are for...',------ Elton john. In this era, friendship is a very valuable thing. Mr. Webster defines a friend as a favored companion or one at- tached to another by affection or esteem. More than that though, a friend constitutes one that understands, knows, and loves you for just exactly who you are. Your faults are there, but a true comrade will overlook them and accept you anyway. Trust also foreruns a precious relationship. Without it, no secrets could be told, and the closeness that binds two together never forms. Time teaches each individual to learn to deal with the hard times and not take things so seriously. It also causes understanding to grow which in turn forms an enduring friendship. Amy Galyon recounts, I can remember when Amy Goyette and I used to spend the night and sit up until all hours of the morning telling secrets. Nothing told ever left that room. For longer than any of us kids have been in existence, a friendship between Ms. janet Arterbury and Ms. jan Hahn has lasted through the years. Ms. Arterbury commented, jan Hahn and I have been friends for a very long time. fShe wouldn't tell usjust exact- ly how long.j We knew each other when we attended Irving High School, but since we have been teaching together at MacArthur for 15 years, We have become much closer. This summer we plan to travel to San Francisco and spend some special time together away from students, lesson plans, grading papers, and long after- school hours.

We love them, we hate them, but how do we feel about going to school with them? Put aside those little inconveniences like arriving at school early so that your little sister can pursue that Hoh, so cute guy through the halls or patiently sitting around the field house like a perma- nent wallflower while your jock brother finishes pumping iron. lt's the special quality to do this that binds so many sibl- ings closely together. Unrealistically we try to im- agine that all brothers and sisters portray bosom buddies, but there are those few in- stances when tempers flair.

In a twins' case, they may find themselves compared to their look-alike, blamed for their mistakes, or competing for some individual attention. However, when it comes down to it, as seniors Mike and Mark McClelland so clearly pointed out, f'Blood is thicker than water. I can talk bad about him as much as I want, but nobody else can. Let's not forget that special relationship between an older brother and a younger sister. A little sister may not always ap- preciate a big brother with his watchful eye and protective manner. Senior Clark Solomon honestly relayed, I am always watching out for Traci to make sure she stays out of trouble. It seems whatever she does has a direct reflection on me. Through the good times and through the bad, however, a brother or sister will always be there. Sophomore Tamara An- dress shared, Tammy is always there to help me with my problems. She is the one person who will continue to stand by me no matter what. Brothers and Sisters
