Blue White Us Good friends Alice OTIara and Cheryl DiPiisco study in the library. Enjoying lunch with friends are Julie Oates, Tina Pisani, Joan Weinfurt, and Christine Moody. What would the world be like without friends? It would be un- bearable - a ' day without sun- shine if you will - all work and no play. Yet how do you describe what a friend is? Each friendship is spe- cial, with its own unique qualities. Whether two people meet at school, at church, while riding a bike, or through a mutual acquaint- ance, the bond that develops be- tween them can become the very rewarding relationship called friendship. A true friend is not just someone to sit with at lunch or discuss strat- egies about a physics test with while walking down the hall. Unless two people can share their inner- most feelings with one another, they do not have the basis for a lasting friendship. Sure, you go to the movies and to football games with your friends, but the root of the friendship lies deeper than that. For, unlike the acquaintance who only knows you as the girl who always giggles or the guy who talks all the time in math class , a friend will always know you for the person you are inside. Unfortunately, there are times when a friend must be called on to draw you out of the depths of de- spair. Taking it all in stride, he or she puts up with your mood swings and calmly listens to you relate the story of your latest failure . Whether they are told over the phone, in the dark auditorium, or in the cafeteria at lunch, many problems are solved by just talking to a friend. There ' s a certain feeling that ac- companies friendship - a comfort- able feeling. With the knowledge that your friend will accept you no matter what opinions you express, you can be completely honest. The easiest way to define a friend, then, is to describe what you do and how you feel with that person. One of the most important elements of friendship is the unspoken under- standing that even if you don ' t keep in touch, there will always be a spe- cial friend far away who cares about you. Friends, Anthony St. Hanson hang out . Amour and Darrell
