Special times A walk in the fall leaves holding hands with that special person, a secret at your locker in the hall, that first time behind the wheel of Dad ' s car alone, those Sunday afternoon football or basketball games with the guys ' ' are all special times that you will remember for many years to come. But special times should include those days in the classroom when it was announced that you received the highest grade on the test, when the teacher sin¬ gled you out and said you had the best idea of any student all day. Tor others the special time was when Everyone Writes At Rocky was handed out and your writing was there. Special times are the best of times! They are the moments that you will cherish and remember many years down the road when you no longer live at home or go to Rock Island High School. Tall color is a special sight going over the Milan bridges.

Kris Farwell and holly Barnes wrap presents at the last minute. Holiday time holiday time means vacation time to Rocky students. Two weeks of no school is probably the best present most students get for the favorite holiday of Christ¬ mas. Some holidays lend themselves to the home scene with family and friends. Thanksgiving gave us the opportunity to get together with that special menu. Christmas and Hanukkah are celebrated in many dif¬ ferent ways in various households but the bottom line is usually presents and lots of relatives. Easter is advertised with the bunny and baskets filled with candy but many remember the real reason for this holiday has it roots with the church. Other holidays certainly belong to the friends from school. Halloween just isn ' t a special holiday if you don ' t spend it at the haunted houses with those you love to see scream. What could Valentines Day possi¬ bly be for except telling that special someone that you really do love them. Ryan Cockeril! and Brent Smith buy roses for their sweethearts on Valentine ' s Day. However, whenever, or with whomever you spend them, HOLIDAY TIMES are some of the best times too. Student Life 15
