Although several months have now gone by and everything is over, there still remains an empty hole, even though we're all still here, and have physically not changed, it's as though, with them, they took our souls. We were like a family sharing everything we did. Maybe that's why there’s so much pain, hut I know we must go on. We can ’t dwell on this time forever hut the hole will always remain. T. Phillips

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JEFFREY DALE WHEAT AND BRENT ALLEN COX Jeff Wheat at the age of 17 and Brent Cox at the age of 18, died Monday, February 4th, 1985, in a tragic accident that will forever be embedded in our minds. Both Jeff and Brent were great parts of Northern Heights High School. They were leaders not only in athlet- ics but also in the student body. They are very dearly missed. Although they did not get to do everything they had once planned, they left with us memories that we will cherish forever. The days were long; oh so long, timeJust seemed to stand still. It was as though we were being made to think of nothing other than our loss, or perhaps just to realize that it was real. The silence was deafening. Every breath could be heard. The usual laughter was not there: the only sounds that were present were the muffled cries of us students, even together it was more than we could bear. As the days wore on and the weeks progressed, the tension slowly lifted from us all. I guess we came to realize that Jeff and Brent weren V coming back, and the chance that our prayers would be an- swered was small. So we did the only thing that made us feel better. We talked of the good times that we shared; we laughed; we cried: we remembered how things were, and how deeply we all had cared. IN MEMORY OF YOU
