Here's to Go aD al Friends Since elementary school, students have made lasting friendships. High school clubs, sports, and classes ex- panded these to include dif- ferent ages. Because some friends had gone separate ways, upperclassmen en- joyed making new friends in rising classes.

They also helped each other through hard times — breaking up with a first love, a close friend moving away, or maybe just cheering up a sick friend. — Nissa Coleman Two good buddies eat lunch together.
