What made somebody your friend? The time you needed a ride home and they went out of their way to give you a ride home anyway? Or when you didn't have any lunch money and they lent you some? Giving you a blank permit that was forged with the artistry of a professional was a true sign of your growing friendship. It was these small things, and later on the bigger things that formed close bonds between two people and made them friends Friends spent nights at Chelsea Street Pub discussing the day s events or problems that needed sharing In a crisis situation we could almost always count on each other to help us pull through True friends Janet Hutchison and Hilary Yarrington showed their friendship when Hilary underwent an operation on her foot Janet carried Hilary s books while Hilary lumped on her crutches and cast Kim Feille and Melissa Cutrer shared the learning and fun experience of dancing in the Vikettes Lesa Kunkel and Leslie 1 When an accident happened one or more friends were always there to help out Friends helped Kevin Herber drag home his Volkswagen with a broken front axle on the bed of a truck 19 2 After our success our friends were just as happy as we were After placing in UIL Shorthand Laura Johnson is given a cake by Lesa Kunkel and the rest of her shorthand class 3 We shared common interests with our friends Nancy DeGlandon and Patti Re-nnscheidt danced in Vikeftes worked on the yearbook staff and clowned around together

everything came up roses. Couples like Greg Johnson and Julie Vanek, or Patti Rennscheidt and Clayton Bean, discovered the joys of dating steadily, and liked it vvell enough to continue. People like Diana Wheeler and Gary Glaspy, or Dee Ann Smith and Robert Kramer, seemed to have dated for years. When relationships got underway, learning started. With experience, vve knew vvhat vve liked in a date, and we learned to perceive their preferences, and compromise. Lovers vvere seldom as perfect as they first seemed. As we found out more about them, we adapted to their needs, and felt more free to be honest about ourselves. 1 Kelly Timmons and Randy lvlutschink get in the mood at a Moods assembly slovv dance. 2 We spent hours together, doing vitually noth- ing. but enjoying each others company Gay Anderson and Ronnie Lerma watched a lot of TV together, enlrancing programs like My Three Sons reruns. 3 You could always spot partners who looked alike, dressed alike and clowned around together, like Hilary Yarrington and Val Wright. 4 Going steady meant doing nice things for each other on holidays and special days With her mothers help, Rhona Cross shops tor Charlie Chapman's birthday present. We discovered that vve could depend on someone else to share feelings vvith. When we felt bad about a government test, or had a tight with a friend, their shoulder was there to cry on. When we found out we were getting a raise, or better hours, they were almost as happy as we were. We counted on them being there, and they expected the same from us. We learned hovv to give time, effort and caring. We made sacrifices for them and realized it meant more to be good than selfish, Saving money for a real special birthday present, instead of blovving it on ourselves, added up to a special occasion full of love and appreciation, and a special relationship. love 67

Friends Indeed Marshall ran around together to various places like White Rabbit, Chelsea, Gattis and cruised around looking for guys. Casee Cleckler helped Cindy Todd plan her wedding. Debbie Janecka helped Carol Kaltenbaugh with her wedding, Journalistic buddies, Flora Choate and Theresa Gage went to movies, basketball games, experienced Rocky together, and suflered the pains and strains oj producing the yearbook. The milestones in our relationships that we overcame brought us together, When we had ironed outa problem or solved a disagreement, both of us profited from the learning experience. The entire student body befriended Michelle Wilkins when her house burned down by donating clothes, money, food, and furniture.

When Ftose went to West Point to see her boyfriend, Paula Thiede helped her pack and prepare for her journey. When she didn't make Vikettes, Beth Hoffman was consoled by her friends, who gave her carnations anyway. Problems with our parents or burdens from a friend seemed unbearable until we could talk with someone who cared and understood. The loss ofa parent or a breakup with a long time lover made it seem as il our world had come undone. The support of a friend helped us rebuild our world and sometimes made it better. 3 . friends 69
