These and other seasonal sayings were a big hit around the holidays. People said these things around their friends and teachers to get into the holiday spirit. In the year of '85, the Halloween spirit seemed stronger. Everyone at PV got into the spirit, not to mention into costume! There was a pumpkin carving contest at which students and teachers carved pum- pkins during both lunches. For Valentine's Day the Post had a special section for the students who wanted to say something to their loved ones. The Student Council sold Balloon-O-Grams. Like every year, many students went to the Rodeo Parade. One of the main reasons for going was to see the PV Vanguard Band and the Clydesdale horses. All in all, people looked forward to join- ing in with spirit. The Holiday seasons of this year had to have been one of the most spirited.

b 56:6 0436 ,, I IES Y' A Mt gy. as . 6' ' Time Can Not Kill Carefree Memories As I pull down old yearbooks off a dark closet shelf and the dust cascades to the ground, I feel time pull back, like a vacuum in space, and my heart is the only sound. The feel of cheap plastic, flimsy and torn, and the yellowing pages within, enter my world, my time, my space and fill me with chagrin. They went so quickly, those high school years, they went so quickly in- deed, and now I'm left with this emptiness, this burning, aching need. The need to see my friends again, my friends from years gone by, the need to see them laugh again, the need to see them cry. But as I turn pages, in spite of myself, a smile steals on my face, for my memories will keep me warm like a cozy fireplace. And as I look back through the good and the bad, everything's proven it's worth, the pain, the sorrow, the tears, the sweat, the joy, the laughter, the mirth. I close the books and slide them back in their dank, dusty hiding space, and time grabs hold of my reality and sucks me into place. As I extinguish the light and turn to leave a tear falls from my eye, because, afterall, years come and go, but memories never die. 34 Student Activities is 3 SES
