Each day was made bearable by sharing a minute with friends, joking, talking or just sitting around. They were times that seemed insignificant until the moment was gone and the year was over. Those moments, when you felt especially close to someone, just seemed to happen without being planned. They occurred when you found someone who you could relate 164 sharing times to and have a good time with. And when you found people like this, you bonded together. You formed a kind' of clique with people like you. Finding groups, making friends helped you belong. You found a hang- out that was all your own, be it kick- er's corner or the courtyard or the library. You unconsciously staked claim to a club, or department so you would have a place of your own. Belonging somewhere was your mark of individ- uality, in a group of 3,500 other indi- viduals. Linda Bagby shares Teresa Hemphill s excite- ment about winning at the choir's TMEA compe- tition.

You found that joking around was as good a way to spend advisory as any, and the serious moments that came along only drew you closer. When you'd been with people awhile, you shared special memories with them. Memories of the conven- tion or the work on your float for the parade or last Saturday night. Recol- Iections of the carnival's haunted house, of holding onto each other in fear, of going to Gatti's after a foot- 166 sharing times 1 A e--. ball game, and screaming out the windows on the way there. And the past served to make the present more fun. You felt comfortable with these people, because you knew them from in and out of school. You were there when their girl- friend or boyfriend broke up, and the day they flunked the big test. You'd been around when they'd gotten a carnation - maybe you had even sent it. Sharing meant sharing everything. It meant being able to communicate. It meant being a friend. Victory is a part of the experience of shari: and the baseball team feels the thrill of shari a victory as they rejoice with teammate Ru Uresti.
