Friendship is a golden opportunity, but in order for one to reap its full benefits, one must take into consideration its trials and hardships, as well as rewards. When one undertakes the responsibility of friendship, strong determination, a stout heart, and a sense of toleration are necessary in order for the friendship to grow and blossom. Friendship is never constant. A usually cheerful buddy will inevitably be grouchy at times, a most dependable pal may forget something now and then. lt is at times like these that, without understanding, the closest of friendships can come crashing down. Being a true friend means always seeing the golden lining of a seemingly dark and cloudy person, or knowing that even the silliest of clowns has a serious side, too. lt means allowing for growth and change in a friend, cheering one another through sad and hard times, and sharing the good times. The race for the gold holds promise of a golden prize A friendship. When a Knight enters this race, he understands that it will not always run through a smooth path, it will be rocky at times. Therefore, he is prepared to face both the smiles and the tears. When the race is undertaken with this at- titude, the reward is an everlasting friendship, a Knight's most valuable possession.

U 8 Theme Homecoming week, senior munches, Winter Formal, and donkey basketball are just a few of the many activities which students are encouraged to participate in throughout the year. These, and other activities, play a very important role in a Knight's race for the gold. They serve as checkpoints along the way, lightening the load of everyday school life. Just when the burden seems too heavy to carry any further, an activity comes along and relieves the tension. The activities refresh students, and give them the strength to push onward until another activity renews them. The memories gained in activities are invaluable for the future in much the same way. When the load of college, a career, or a family are the heaviest, these memories will re- mind each person of carefree times, and allow for hope for the future. . Therefore, Foothill activities, however zany, crazy, or downright ridiculous, are invaluable to students, for without them, one might fall behind in the race for the gold.
