Even though life is good, it's always better with I ooking around campus, one saw a particular thing in abun- dance-people! The activities in which they were engaged in could vary, but it usually appeared as if they were having fun. School is, of course, a place to gain an education, but so- cially Chaparral gave the same oppor- tunity, someone who's always there, that needed a friendly smile, or the reassuring hug all added up to equal a friend. Friends are a big part of high school life. Whether it was help with a math problem, giving a ride, wiping a tear, or just going out for the night, friends were there. Most students agreed that it didn't really matter what we did, as long as it was fun. Clearly defining a friend was a very difficult task. Senior Joyce Block easi- ly stated that it's someone who's there through thick and thin no matter what. Webster's Dictionary describes a friend as one attached to another by esteem and affection, an intimate associate, a supporter, but there is more to being a companion. Senior Amy Hearn further interpreted the meaning of a friend by stating that it was someone who accepts me as I am and doesn't try to change me. A true friendship does not just hap- pen. It is based on mutual under- standing and caring along with spending time together. Many new friendships were made at Chaparral this year while others grew even stronger. A friend is a gift that can last a lifetime - a friend is forever. Every moment that was spent with that close buddy becomes another cherished memory to warm hearts when Chap- arral High School days are gone. -Jenny Worth Left: Seniors Kathy Jiminez, Kelli Staley, Miche Kratter, Kelli Mooney, Lauren Matera, and Vale' Baker cherish the true meaning of friendship as th spend their free time together in the snack bar.
