rreshmen Amy Smith and Katie Olstad eat lunch together every day. They are lucky that they have the same lunch. Many friends don't have lunch together and end up making new friends to sit with. Friends in the true sense are Sophomores Dan Kuglin and Gary Norman. These guys still have two years of school left. Hopefully their friendship will continue during their Junior and Senior years. Kirk Woelffer is my best friend, because when im feeling sad, he cheers me up with a ballad. ■ Juniors, Darren Poikonnen and Dave Weeks Junior Ingrid Japs and Senior Andy Groth will have to say goodbye at the end of this year as Andy will graduate. Ingrid will probably have large phone bills to show for it.

Forever in their hearts and minds the bonds of friendship are strong As the years have gone by, many friendships have been won and lost at Mound Westonka. Some bonds have deteriorated, while others have only grown stronger. Friendship is one thing a person never forgets. Whether it took place five or ten years ago a friendship is always a treasured possession. But remebering close friends and remaining close to one's friends are two different things. By the time thoughts of graduation fill the air, most seniors came to the realization that no matter how strong a friendship may be, it will soon be time to say goodbye. Leaving one's friends must be the most difficult aspect of graduation. Knowing that after graduation one might not see his friends very much during the sum- mer and not all during the next fall, the feelings of emptiness and foreboding can only be surmounted by the yearning to seek new acquaintances. Of course, not all bonds are broken upon graduation. There are always those special friendships that last a lifetime. Yet, most can only wish for a friendship such as this. Then there are those people who always say, ‘ We ll have to have lunch sometime, and never do. They honestly have good intentions to stay close but with the distance between them growing, it's hard to do. As graduation draws near, one should keep in mind that the end of one friendship always means the start of two more. Freshmen Michelle Potas and Ramona Brinatte talk between classes. Friends who are used to doing everything together find it strange when their class schedules are different. Just leaving the building, seniors Rachel Jacobson and Katie Lauer smile for the camera. When they aren't in classes. Katie and Rachel are usually together. Juniors Marc Kinney, Derek Jordahl, and Dan Briemhorst pass the time in lunch. Most students at Mound Westonka finish lunch early and must wait until Mrs. Flemming will let them out of the cafeteria. This is a perfect time for friends to catch up on the latest happenings.
