Always And Forever . . . Arte si a Everyone always telJs you that there will be a time in the future when you ' ll be able to actually use all of those things that they ' ve been teaching you all of these years. But what exactly are those things ? Will it be an algebraic equation or maybe a few punctuation rules? It could be a famous name or a date in history. You ' ll probably be lucky if you even remember what algebra is! Those things that you ' ll remember will be the time you fell in the mud in the quad and everyone laughed at you and when a seagull left its own special kiss on a friend ' s arm. The only thing you ' ll remember about homework is the time you spent doing it. Each Artesian, as they leave, does not leave alone. You take with you memories of times that were sometimes the absolute best and sometimes the worst imaginable. But even the bad times are special, for they will remind you of people who held us when we cried and who made everything brighter. You ' ll recall certain teachers who taught you more than just what goes at the end of a sentence and all those who cared especially about you. As tacky and corny as it may sound, these are the times to cherish, for they are gone before we can even begin to understand them. Keep the memories, because nothing dies as long as it is remembered. Because of this, Artesia and all that it represents, the past, present, and future, will remain alive . . . Always and Forever. Janet Tongsuthi tool?

Walter Richie walks Yvette RUey to her English class. Some things are Always and Forever . It may not be something we can touch or hold, but something we feel or remember. Memories will linger with us forever. Some are good and some are bad, some of home and some of school. Memories of high school should be cherished forever. Remember our first day of school and how nervous we felt.- It was a new school, new teachers, and new friends. We walked from the 100 building to the 200 building wondering, Why are we here. ' ' As the weeks rolled on we made good close friends that were always there when we needed them. They were someone to talk with about those classes we couldn ' t stand, a shoulder to cry on: They were friends when times were tough. Do you remember our first love and how our hearts were poun- ding as we approached that special someone and the relief you felt when they smilcdf ' Didn ' t those smiles make us feel great. ' ! Remember all those agonizing practices we went to when we went out for sports. ' We wondered how we survived it all. The thrill we felt as we spiked that volleyball, made that interception, hit that homerun, or caught that ball. Sports gave us the pride that united Artesia. As we leave Artesia High School, we must not think of it as a place where we did nothing but work, but a place that taught us lessons that will last ALWAYS AND FOREVER! Opening 3
