Parents proclaim the years of high school are the best years of our lives. We may not agree now, but in years to come we will probably understand what they meant. These years were a time of involvement, learning, maturity and experience. However, there is MORE to high school THAN MEETS THE EYE. Some of the precious memories of high school will remain with us forever. Long lasting friendships and romances developed throughout the year. Those early morning Monday blues or exciting Friday afternoons, signaling the coming of a weekend, are times each of us will remember. The time and effort we put into class, working on assignments and projects, listening to lectures and taking notes will pay off in the long run. Staying up till midnight to work on homework while also trying to maintain a job or a family or social life seemed virtually impossible at the time, but somehow we managed to get through those times. For some this year of high school may not have been special, but for most 1980 was a year of remembrance, a year of success, and a year of pride.
