School provides atmosphere for long-standing friendships Technically, by definition, friendship is the state of feeling friendly towards another person. In a year of troubled times and economic upheaval, friendships at Northwest meant different things to different people. Friendships matured through the shar- ing of rides to schools and by attending some of the school-sponsored dances throughout the year. During the school week new friendships were developed through the use of advisement time, pass- ing periods and the lunch hour. Classes were also places where friendships began. The process of learning and working together provided many students with new friends. Even though some students did not have class with some of their friends, extra-curricular activities provided them with the opportunity to get reac- quainted with old friends. , tfis iw l -' . li-it V .
