Best Friends ho was the person that helped you through the good times and the bad when you felt you needed so- meone to share your feelings with? Who was the somebody you confided in when you just couldn ' t talk to your parents? Who provided that extra sup- port at school when you were com- peting for the lead in the school play or head cheerleader, or having problems with a romance that just didn ' t seem to be working? A best friend, that ' s who!!! Some friendships came in pairs of two, others in a triangle of three, but all in all those were the people we called friends. Friends were very important to us. They made traveling the road of life just a little bit easier. It was good to have someone to share secrets with and to help out when we didn ' t make it home at the set time. It ' s really hard to say just what a friendship means, but it means a lot. Middle: Robert Watson and Michael Wheat. Below: Darrin Arias and Tony Gordon. Friend — A seeming mirror of myself, And I. of you. My shadow, my other half, my confidante. And I. yours. So alike that I often wonder — If we hadn f lived at the same time, At the same place. And fate had us not feel that something ■ A piece of ourselves — was missing? Or perhaps that we. in turn. Should be part of someone else? I am a puzzle with one piece missing. You are my missing piece. Sometimes I wish to be you — And you, me. Because we are so different We have so much to share — Because we are so alike, We understand each other so well. — Gina Gutierrez From TEEN Magazine -i Bottom right: Renee Lee, Cheryl Linnbrick, and Tracy Simmons. 28 Best Friends

I hether it was dress to impress or dress casual, the main idea was dress to express your personality. Many students felt this way, as expressed by Dwayne Boyd; I dress the way I do because i feel the way you dress reflects the way you feel, and when I dress nice or in a certain style, it makes me feel good about myself. The styl es seen around campus varied greatly, just like the personalities. In the past years, styles could be categorized as prep- py , mod , or new romantic , but as you looked at students and spoke to them, many couldn ' t be categorized. Many of the styles were combinations of attitudes or ideas.

US Same Time, Same Place . . . E t The mad rush is on!! The parking lot is jammed. Lines circle around the lunch room, and outside they stretch almost to the middle of the quad. This familiar scene is seen everyday when the bell strikes the magical time of 1 1 :40. Where shall we go today? or What are we doing for lunch?. These were the most frequently heard sayings on campus at lunch-time. Wanting to get away from school or rushing to be one of the first in line to settle the groans and moans of their hungry stomachs, students hurried off to eat. Many headed for that long awaited hamburger, pizza or even Chicken McNuggets. While most stayed at school to finish homework and eat or just sit around with friends and eat.
