CHARGER PRIDE — ORANGE BLUE STYLE Ken rushed in the doors of NMHS — right into Barbie. Oh, sorry, I was in a hurry. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not sure I'll find all my classes! Me too, he laughed. I'm Ken Orange. Nice to meet you, Ken. I'm Barbie. Barbie Blue. Freshman year passed quickly, full of new friends, teachers and activities — like cheerleading, choir, band, sports, drama, ag., dances, and on and on — an al- most endless supply to choose from. Nicknames and sayings came and went fast. Then they were Sophomores and knew their way around and what they liked. They belonged to groups of friends and were no longer at the bottom of the to- tem pole. Classes got harder, but free time got better. Later nights, a car, and a first date for Ken and Barbie. Just-received class rings were exchanged — and the two Chargers became Stea- dies . Soon their Junior year was over. Where did it go? What did they do with all that time? They spent it at club meetings; attending games; dating; working, finishing homework (often on the way to class); and on other jobs and commitments and fun outside school. Oh, and you can't forget those impossible PSAT's, and all the planning for the prom and how great it turned out, can you? Finally it was Senior year for Ken and Barbie. They found themselves wondering — Where is everybody? Where did all these kids come from? — as they walked through the Commons at lunch because no one older was there. It feels so strange. I can't be- lieve I'm a Senior! Barbie ex- claimed. I know. It just doesn't feel right yet, Ken agreed. After awhile it did feel right. But then came worries about grades, college, and jobs. Thoughts about the future and what it would hold crept in between Homecoming and the Holiday Tourney, Sectionals and the Musi- cal, and so many, many other activities they couldn't keep track! Now here they were, ready for their last prom, graduation. Crowned King and Queen. Ken and Barbie were quickly inter- viewed for the paper. What do you think is the most important thing you learned from being a Charger here at North Montgomery? The reporter asked. Ken said, I think what I learned was to stick to it. Stick to my goals, to my training, to my values, and to my friends. That's what's important. Barbie added, I just decided if I wanted to do something badly enough — I would! Even if I didn't get it, I had the satisfaction of knowing I'd done my best. I'll al- ways keep dreaming — and try- ing. A few weeks later, with diplo- mas in hand. Barbie and Ken read the article: Charger Pride — Orange and Blue Style. 10
