A Hand To Hold On To When a termi- nal case of the blues hits, a best friend helps. He shares the ups and downs, highs and lows, holidays and school daze. What would high school be without friends? They greet you in the hall and gossip at your locker, exchang- ing notes and warning you about a pop test next period. They give you rides to school and help you eat your lunch. You share clothes, opin- ions, expectations, dreams, secrets, and advice. Friends are ir- replaceable and one of the best aspects of high school. Friends appear later in life: you meet them on the job, next door, and in adult social circles. But they are never as dear as those allies who insure you’re not alone in a big world — high school We’ve been together since kindergarten” — Jennifer Mixon and Car- men Valentine buddies are a united front, together facing every challenge that growing up presents. From the first child who sits next to you in kindergarten and ad- mires how you stay in the lines, to the last person you hug at graduation, saving the rest of your tears for the one who means the most, friends will play a part in growing up. But what makes these bonds so strong that they live through ar- guments, harsh words, math class, summer? Something deep inside that craves companion- ship, a little like the aggregation of cows. Special times friends give us, and so much more. John Cougar Mellencamp ex- pressed it this way — Everyone needs a hand to hold on to, don't need to be no strong hand, don't need to be no rich hand, every- one just needs a hand to hold on to .. .

You know how it goes, you say one thing wrong, and BOOM! You’re kicked out of class! It’s not so bad in the hall when you're not alone, to which Whit Carter and Bubba Jones can attest. The four musketeers? No, just four rowdy third graders living it up in the canteen. These seventh graders find P.E. is much more exciting when they share the fun. Not a bad way to spend sixth period, either! No one enjoys a good football game more than these second-graders, Lance Wilson, Will Haynes, Michael Castle, and Tony Fargnoli. Who could lose! Wendy Litchfield and Scott Pellum share lunch and each other’s company at the cafe at Charlestowne Landing. Friendship is a wonderful thing. It spans cultures, miles, and even generations. Imagine all that you learn through interac- tion of generations, and learning is one of the best aspects of friendship. Teachers can prove to be the best friends you’ll ever meet, guiding you through school and helping to mold you into the person you want to be, while learning a lot themselves from the fresh insight so typical of youth. Mrs. Howell spends as much time as possible with her students, showing them at the young age of kindergarteners that teachers are friends too. Friends 0 7
