 A particular Rough Time this year was when Mr. Reynolds was taken ill in the middle of the year. But. the kids banded together wishing him well. Reynolds made it back and the reactions towards him made him feel very glad to be back. Mr. Reynolds was also blessed with a daughter during his illness. GET WELI MR. REYNOLDS WE MISS YOU

TIMES When people remember their life, they re- member the good times, the Fast Times. But there is another very big part of life that is conveniently forgotten about, and they are the Rough Times. The definitions for Rough Times vary from not being able to do something, to a close friend s death. Everyone has had their share of rough times. To some people a rough time is like a labyrinth, or maze, in life, or a test of endurance which will end eventually. It may seem to many that the trials in life will be never ending. Rough Times, in school though, can vary a great deal. To some people, going to school is a rough time. To others it is taking tests, such as Linda Tuck in KBFL. or as Becky Schwarz getting ready for a speech tourna- ment. School, in and of itself, has all of the rules and regulations of outside life, but to the students the rules seem heightened to the point of unbearable pains.

Good times were different for everyone. As the old saying goes. To each his own.” Sometimes we thought Mrs. Gillispie's English III classes were THE BEST OF TIMES and then she gave us one of her famous unit tests and they became THE’ WORST OF TIMES. The weekends seemed to be when everyone had the most fun. Cruising around town after the ball games on Friday night or any other night, for that matter, was a popular pastime. A big group of friends piled into one car. just having fun. was their intent. There was usually a party to go to. and that was where they were off to. The other options for our good times were going to Springfield to a movie, shopping, eating, or just wasting time. Some of us had dates to go on. THE TIMES OF Ol'R LIVES. Those loves that hit everyone at sometime through their school years. Some of them seemed like they would last us a lifetime and then, when they ended, we were over them in no time at all. Life goes on. To most students, school was never considered really good times. Yet. after you’ve spent twelve years of your life there, looking back, you did have fun. Oh. not doing your four pages of algebra, or Mrs. Cole’s composition papers, or even dissecting that grasshopper in Mr. Ben- net’s Biology I. Fun, were the times you had in between classes with your friends, eating lunch, in study hall, or even playing hooky from your classes. •’GOOD TIMES ARE BEING WITH NATHAN OR MY GIRL- FRIENDS AND GOING SOME- PLACE BESIDES BUFFALO. -GINA PETERS
