G DEPO IT, 0 RETUR We've all spent at least thirteen years in school. This was our last year and many of us find ourselves asking, What was the point of it all? What did we learn? It's easy to see what we've given our various schools in the past, more spe- cifically, high school. We've given our time, our tears, our smiles, our spirit and even a part of ourselves. But what has high school given us in return? In a way, high school has only given us what we gave it. The more time we poured into our school, the more memories we were able to collect in our minds over the years. The more tears we cried, the more tender mo- ments we shared. The more smiles we boasted, the more we had to smile about. The more spirit we showed, the more pride we had in our school. The more of ourselves we gave, the greater the rewards we received. We've spelled, written, added, and graphed, all the while thinking we'd probably forget every single bit of it. But we have learned things over these past years that won't be forgotten. We have learned to deal with disappoint- ments after all those times of failing yet another test or being turned down by yet another girl. We've learned a lot about ourselves f who we want to be, what we don't want to do. We've learned how to have a good time through various parties and get-to- gethers. We've learned how to make good friends that will always hold spe- cial places in our hearts. Some of us have learned how to give of ourselves, whether it be to another person or to our school. Of course, high school gives us that long sought after piece of paper called a diploma to reward our efforts. How- ever, it also gives us memories, feel- ings, and knowledge that will last a lifetime. Chris Hindsley gives a little extra time to his school. His efforts are rewarded by the creation of a bulletin board for SADD. .. ., 5 ,,-, . .
