Perhaps the one thing we remember most about the first semester of twelth grade is “college ap ' s. At first it was fun to get “fan mail from colleges, but then we began to murmur “meaningful academ ic experience” and “reward- ing extracurricular activities in our sleep. When we nearly went crazy staring blankly at an essay to be written, we turned to our friends, who always came through. We lived for second semester, when we would be “home-free. But once it came, we wanted time to slow down, for we knew our days at NCSSM were drawing to an end. We lived eagerly, trying to cram as many memories as possible into every remaining moment. Those months are full of memories, and they, along with the rest, will always be treasured as we reflect upon our unforgettable two years at NCSSM. 24
