 MES Lifenevei What are you going to brag about first? You’re bound to, you know. You’ll haul out your yearbook, point to this page, and then that one. To that photo, and the one over there. To that face, this group, and then that one — is that you in that crowd? Could be. And then you’ll settle into a little smile, and start your story. None of you will tell quite the same stories, because none of you saw the year in quite the same way. Even so, you will have your own special stories to tell. Gradually, the days of bumming out over that test or that game, over the lost buddy or the unfair grade, will become a blur in your memory. Then the better times of your year will come shining through. That's the way memory works. Happily so. So, sit and enjoy. Look through the pages, and let your mind drift a little. Recall the prime times of this prime year in your life. And brag a little.

looked so good. Hey, it’s OK to brag, when you've got something worth bragging about. So gather 'round some people from other schools. Tell ’em you've got your yearbook, see and then point out the year's state-class winners. Make 'em jealous. Of what? Of five Merit Scholars and an NOTE national writing winner. Of two teachers Excellence in Education awards. Of two Coach of the Year awards, one for wrestling and the other for hockey. And if that doesn't impress them, turn to sports. Be sure to talk about that weekend in February when Kennedy grabbed the headlines. Why? A Lake South boys' basketball championship, a section 5 hockey title, three individual wrestling State Champions, and JFK’s second State Wrestling Team Championship. All of that — in just 24 hours. Feels good, bragging does. Above: They wrote state wrestling history when they won the State Class A A Championship and three individual State Championships in ►a single year. Finally.
