V-ball 1 1- IS. fls the partnership fades, friendships are put to the test. fls the high school years slowly pass, the minds of under- classmen churn with thoughts of graduation and that last year when everything is supposed to be great. UUell, that year is here for the class of ' 87, and it is great, but . . . that anxious feeling felt at the beginning of the year has been replaced. Seniors first think, UUow, this is it, our lost year! They look forward to graduation with great anticipation. Then as the year progresses, feelings and thoughts begin to change. In contrast to the old feelings, the Seniors begin to look toward the graduation date with hesitancy. Why this change in feelings? Perhaps it is at this point that the Seniors begin to fully realize that they are about to meet the real world head on. They have no choice; they can ' t turn back. Responsibility and independence are theirs as their six year long partnership with River Forest fades. The Senior ' s hesitant feelings are also brought on by thoughts of leaving friends and family and the loss of security he once felt in an established environment. Ingotland, once his home away from home, will eventually become a refuge of the past as ' new ' homes take its place. The importance of friends is put to a test. Since not everyone will be going to the same college, no longer can the Senior say, 1 ‘We’ll see each other tomorrow. Keeping in touch becomes a responsi- bility, a token of friendship. Long distance phone calls are kept short, and letter writing becomes a waiting game. The close- ness is felt in the memories of post times and the lingering thoughts of relationships gone by.
