Steps Together Before homeroom we meet them. We sit with them at lunchtime. While teachers aren ' t watching, we try to talk to them but usually get caught. After school we become their teammates. In- stead of studying, we can spend hours on the phone with them. We get to- gether during the weekend. It seems as though we spend every minute with them. Who are they? They are our friends. At Fenwick friends are an important part of our experience and, for some, the most important element of school life. Long after some of us have forgotten the periodic table or rules for punctua- tion, we will remember our friends and the good times we had in high school. We learn to rely on one another, to give and receive help and advice. As fresh- men we rely on each other for practical information such as how to get to Julie Hall or 209. During sophomore year friendships become stronger, more de- fined. At this level we need friends to give us a pinch to remind us that we ' re no longer freshmen I In the third year of high school, we all need friends to help us with the pressure of balancing academia with work, sports, activities, and free time — or what ' s left of iti Finally as seniors we depend on friends to help us through the college admissions process and to remind us that our last year as the Class of 1988 should be a memorable one. By this time our friend- ships have fully developed; we totally trust one another and are finally past the kind of superficial relationship we might have had when we first came to Fenwick. Friendships at Fenwick are different from just any relationships. Perhaps be- cause we come different backgrounds, we are more interested in each other and grow closer together. We share common experiences and goals. Each of us, while different from the other, is, in one way, the same; we all need friends to share our good times and our bad times. And at Fenwick, such friends are not hard to find. Clockwise: A friendly glance. Jennifer Con- nell looks up to Kathleen Jenkins. — That old gang of mine.
