Good-Bye Childhood Who knew when we entered kinder- garten back in the mid 1970’s, that time would fly by so fast. Our cares at the time were mainly trivial; what would we bring to show and tell? What would Mom give me for snack time? Who would be my best friend and come over to play on Friday afternoon? As we grew, we learned to read, write, tell time and count money. It all seemed so hard then. Times tables, especially the nines, seemed impossible! We discovered T.V. I bet we all still have our mouseketeer ears from the Mickey Mouse Club. Saturday morning cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, George of the Jungle, and Bugs Bunny were everyone’s favorites. Holidays were fun, especially when we did not have to go to school. Christmas was like heaven. Santa bringing us his whole toy factory. We’d go sledding on our new sleds and go ice skating. But who could forget anxiously awaiting for the snow to melt so we could ride that new two wheeler? Then, the day our parents feared and the day we vowed would never happen 24

came. The discovery of boys and girls as cute and pretty instead of yucky and gross. Our three day romances consisted of brief hand holding and writing notes that said “Do you love me?” yes or no (circle the answer). Our first kiss occurred and nothing was the same after. We got in fights with our friends and got to know more people. We learned how to play instruments and sports. Finally, eighth grade came. We were the oldest in the school and knew we were in power. We were psyched that we were going to high school next year. What most of us didn’t realize is that most of us were going our separate ways. We were going to meet new people from other schools. At first we were distant but as the years grew on, we became closer. Strangers became our best friends. Now these “strangers” are going off to college in different cities and states. We’ll always keep in touch and re- member all the memories that made our pasts so special. Goodbye childhood, onward adult- hood. The class of 1988 is ready. Bring it on. 25
