 Seniors Chris Horvath and Maria Pina take time out between periods to share a precious moment together at their lockers. Seniors Francesca Barilla, Denise Sciabarissi, and Colleen Kelly embrace in a big ‘three muskateers’ hug in between classes. riendships. We feel that they’ll last for- ever. But is this possible? After all, “forever” is a long time. With college just around the corner and new relationships to be formed, we have to wonder if the old ones will fade. I know we all like to think that we’ll keep our high school friends in the future, but we may be wrong. Did you know that most people keep their college buddies over their high school pals? Senior Tara Schropher feels confident in that “the really close friendships that I’ve made over the years will last and stay close throughout college, but the ‘hi-bye’ relationships will fade.” Senior Sean Tower agrees that “the everyday relationships won’t last, but the good ones will.” It will be difficult, but hopefully we’ll all keep in touch. But the thought of never seeing any of our high school chums after graduation still sits in the ‘ 74ieveaCCy cCa e cvcCC Ca t!' back of our minds. Senior Nauman Shah feels that our high school relationships “will last if we’re mature about them.” Who do you think will remain close? -Maria Pohanis Senior John Mandra is determined to show his girlfriend Karen Kar- mann a good time at the Homecoming Dance as they dance the night away.

artin Luther King, Andy Warhol, Golda Meir, and Marylou Retton all share a tie that is not easily seen. They are each in one way or another, he- roes. Politically, artistically, internationally or athletically, these people represent success. Instinctively as the youth of the world, we identify ourselves with people who have made a difference in the world. “I think Andy Warhol was such a radical; he reinvented pop art,” explained senior Jenique Nijboer. We mostly admire people that reign in an area that we may want to go into. Senior Tom Reilly, for example, admires “Ronald Reagan because he’s republican, conser- vative and hey, he’s the gipper.” Of course, there are those whom we admire simply because of their tremendous influ- ence in the structure of society. Martin Luther King, civil rights activist of the sixties, is admired by many people to- day. “I don’t know where society would be without his influ- ence,” observed senior Tina Panchal. Today there is so much going on and so many situa- tions that surround us, that perhaps if we look at the actions of those who preceded us, we may be able to learn what to do, as well as what not to do in our future.
