THE BEAUTY OF FRIENDSHIP Friendship is sharing and caring, and the past year has seen students reach out to one another offering this simple yet matchless gift. For many it was a new and often frightening experience leaving home and old friends for the first time, but usually there was someone around to help, if only by being in the same situation. The dorms provided a warm and often humorous at- mosphere for the development of close friendships with late night talks and Secret Santa at Christmas, as did classes when the entire class shared the secret of who wrote that controversial little saying on the board or when two or three from class got together the night before the big test, sup- posedly to study. These places and cir- cumstances along with many others set the stage for many special and lasting relation- ships between students. Students not only reached out to one another, but also to others in the com- munity. The Bloodmobile in the fall had a very successful turnout as many students came to share the gift of life. The Freshman class sold M M ' s for many weeks in order to raise money with which to provide Senior Citizens of the community with a dinner. Freshmen class members Ronnie Walls and Robin Grimes are attentive to their new- found friends at the senior Citizen Banquet. Dorm life brings with it manv close friends. 16 Friendship
