Years Of Good Friends Are What Dieruff High School Is All About! Friends' is a very special word. Not just anyone can be a friend. It takes a very special person to be someone you can rely on to always be there for you. Hopeful- ly, in your four years at Dieruff High School there is at least one person, or many, who you can call friend! The person you told about your incredible crush on a senior your freshman year. The person you went to the dances with, then borrowed a shoulder to cry on when “he or she was with someone else! The buddy you borrowed homework from when you didn't remember your books. The first person you rushed to tell when you made the team or got a date with that special someone. The one you called when you heard a juicy piece of gossip, and the one who listened to you moan about THE FOUR STOOGES. Tonia Lloyd, Geri Micek, Karen Plessl, and Go-Go Dayoub have all definitely caught the senioritis disease. More than likely these juvenile delinquents are planning a partying weekend! your awful teachers who gave you no sympathy. Maybe more importantly, the person you listened to when he or she needed to talk. The one who used you as an alibi to stay out late on a date! The one that you cheered up after the break- up or helped keep both feet on the ground after the unexpected miracle that popped up! Some- one you were yourself with, who might have known you better than even you did! This friend made life easier on you, and kept you going through the bad times, as well as good. Maybe the two of you fought, but didn't stay mad for long. Wheth- er you spent lots of time together or only saw each other one period each day, the friend is someone you will never forget, long after all the vocab, formulas, and theo- rems are gone! STUDY BUDDIES. Juniors Kim Page and Carol Hausman stare at each other with blank faces in disbelief that they can ever tackle their seemingly impossible physics assign- ment STUDY HALL.

Extra-Curricular Activities Enlived The School Experience While scholastics are the most em- phasized parts of high school, the extra-curricular activities one par- ticipate in are also very important. The groups and clubs you joined helped you discover more about yourself. They may have helped you to decide what type of a career to pursue after graduation. Then again, maybe they were just for fun, to pass time from class to class, but even high school students need to relax between homework assignments! The activities gave you a sense of belonging, the feeling that you did play a part at Dieruffr. The clubs gave you a sense of responsibility, whether you ran the group or attend- ed all of the meetings, practices, and rehearsals. You might have learned a certain skill, explored a new field, and formed some new ideas. Hope- fully, you met some new people and made a few good friends. Most likely, the group wasn't al- ways fun. It took a lot of dedication and effort on your part. Those morn- ings when you tore yourself out of bed to be at an early morning prac- tice are haunting! What about all the times you stayed late after school to get the job done, even if no one else could? But it was all worth it. The end result, whether it was a paper or a play or a song, or just the feeling you get from knowing that you made it through, made you glad you got in- volved! For whether you learned anything or not, the real reason for extra-curricular fun was to trans- form your high school years into something very special to you! m rn •» » ■ ft an ii «ns. 4tfs • . m m BORED OR CONCENTRATING?
