Friend: Someone Who Helps You A friend is someone who knows all about you and still likes you, said ju- nior Chris Lehmen. Other Redskins de- fined a friend as someone with whom they could be both crazy and serious, someone with whom they could do fun things and go places. As long as the money held out, they wandered the shopping malls, skated, drove around, attended sporting events, ate at the nearest pizza place or fast food restaurant, or went to movies. Once the money ran out and when parents couldn ' t be talked out of the car, friends had parties, walked, played frisbee in the park, went to church and church-related activities, studied at the library, worked, spent a quiet evening at home watching television, or just talked and laughed. At school, friends walked in the halls, talked at lockers, ate lunch together, sat nearby in classrooms, and yelled to each other as they rushed off late to class. Some played together on teams, in one of the bands or choirs, or in one of the clubs. If they didn ' t participate they came together to dances, concerts or plays. Not uncommon was the sight of stu- dents and faculty talking, laughing, and having a generally good time: Miss Pa- tricia La Fontaine and the majority of her students; Mrs. Claryn Myers and the Thespians; Mr. Jon Bill and the kids in the auto club; Mr. Ed King, Mr. Larry Kenner, or Dr. John Hill working with the kids in bands and choirs. Redskins looked for friends who pro- vided honesty and trust. They wanted someone with whom they could seri- ously talk about all their problems, whether they were romance, school, or parent-related. Teenagers needed someone who would try to understand them, try to help when they could, or at least lend a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry upon. As one student put it, A friend is someone who loves you, no matter what. Redskins often said they had enough friends, but a majority said they ' d like to have more. Senior Mike Chandler summed it up with, You can never have too many friends! 12 Friends
