What would | we do without friendships? Friendship — a word used to describe a relationship that is shared between two or more people. One common relationship seen on campus is that of boyfriend and girlfriend. They are seen holding hands (discreetly of course) between classes, and talking by themselves at lunch, but always together. The most common friendships are those of best friends. Two, or sometimes more, people who are always doing things together characterize this relationship. Whether it is eating lunch, laughing at a good joke, or sharing someone's sorrows, one who is a friend is always there. A teacher-student friendship is one where two people on different levels actually enjoy each other's com- pany. Eacr one maintains his place while getting to know the other as a friend. Teacher-teacher friendships can be supportive ones where they console each other on the ways students are trying to drive them crazy. Many of these extend to affer hours when teachers can enjoy friends socially. ALLEN GIBSON SAYS “No: way” to the cafeteria lunch, while Darryl Norris, Buddy Prit- chard, and Matthew Morton say “Who cares? It’s food!” 18 Student Life TIRED, BUT STILL dancing, Karen Hall and her date enjoy the night out at the homecoming dance. TAMMY MORRIS AND WENDY LANGHORN laugh together as best friends always do.
