Dear Mrs. Palmeri and Miss Newell, Our high school years have come to a close; we have found our time to say good-bye. Words alone cannot express what the past four years have meant to us, and what you have helped to make them. Your special friendship has made these years more memorable and full of happiness. Your warm smiles shone through at our darkest moments and helped to make things bright again. You've taught us to respect ourselves as well as one another. But most of all, you've allowed us to grow, grow to our fullest potential, settling for nothing less than the best. Together we've faced the challenges, but now we must face them on our own. For now is the time to shed the blanket of security East Rockaway has given us. As we tuck away the memories of our high school years, you shall hold a precious place. For you, in our eyes, are heroes. We Love You! The Class of '82 11
