Lunchtime, a perfect time to indulge in a bit of adult conversation. Mrs. House and Coach Bai- ley discuss a student's pranks or maybe a problem with discipline. At a class Halloween party, Heather Brown and her younger brother enjoy the sweets usu- ally associated with Halloween. A different kind of companionship results from growing up to- gether, and as this scene shows, sharing comes naturally for these two. 6 Friends

Josh Smith and Gina Cola dress warmly on a cold day by wearing sweaters. Just to be comfortable, punk sweatshirts, designer jeans, and Nike tennis shoes could be found any- where at a reasonable price.

 “A Special Kind of Love” Academics is just a part of school life at Lexington. Our friends play a major role in the everyday course of events. In most cases, the friendships that last the longest after high school are the best-friend relation- ships. Best friends are the ones who pick you up when your life begins to fall apart, the ones you laugh with and cry with, and the ones who create those special memories you’ll remember years past high school. Best friends are those you can trust and talk to. They are people who remind you that someone really does care about you when it seems like no one else does. In general, a best friend is someone who walks in just when the whole world has walked out. During the many weeks spent trying to educate students, teach- ers often become close friends. They automatically have an imme- diate set of things in common: an interest in teaching, and in working with kids. They live through end- less faculty and P.T.O. meetings. Years after students have come and gone, teachers still have a lasting bond of friendship. This is true for many teacher-student friendships formed in school, also. Part of the fun of high school friendships are the boy-girl rela- tionships. After spending count- less hours together at dances, par- ties, and classes, most students find they are developing friend- ships with the opposite sex that seem more special and important than anything else. Only a few of the many types of friendships found within the school have been mentioned. But, what- ever the type, friendship is truly “a special kind of love.” Being on the BEARER staff provides many opportunities to develop close friendships.
