I Arlene Koeppel WI-IAT I Alvl LCDSING I JLM. Whaf am I losing, you ask, as I don my cap and gown and prepare fo receive my high school diploma?

There is no one specific parf of my school life in Lane which I can poinf fo as an example of whaf I shall miss, buf fhere are many small, seemingly insignificanf, fhings which will always Iinger in my memories when I fhink back over my years in Lane. I have no idea why fhese fhings should remain fixed in my mind, and yef I know fhey will. I know fhaf I will miss fhe mad rush down fo The cafeferia every day, fhe fhrill of seeing my name in fhe Reporfer , fhe anxiefy of waifing for a fesf mark, 'rhe despair of faking home a slighfly red reporf card, fhe happiness of seeing Lane win a baskefball game, and all fhe ofher fhings which make high school life evenfful.
