HOMECOMING ’80 Think about it. Can you remem- ber the times you have CROSSED THE LINES Like the time you got up the nerve to ask her to dance or the time you asked him to help you with your math home- work. Who would have known that that lonely girl sitting by her- self at the lunch table would later become your best friend What about retreats and the time you met that new person who later became your steady. Remem- ber trying out and making that team where you met your long lost buddy and spend- ing your Easter vacation overseas with your class- mates and realizing that these people who you never really knew very well could be so much fun. That person may be a stranger and could remain that way unless you take one more step across that line separating you from him. In accepting that step you have nothing to lose and every- thing to gain. That is how friendships are started. CROSSING THE LINES. If we never reached across the lines that separate us. we might not know that person who is closest to us now. and what a great loss that would be. As Freshmen. we came to Pallotti knowing only a few people, if any, and were forced, in a good way, to meet others.

Game three. The deciding game. Seton loses the serve after scoring one point. Cathy Cannon and Karen Morley combine their serving talents to put Pallotti in front 8 to 3. Seton regains its composure and takes the lead 12 to 8. Cannon, stepping up to the serving line, ties the score at 14. Pallotti then loses the serve. After regaining posses- sion, Morley adds another point. Her last powerful serve appears to be going out of bounds, but suddenly it takes a dive. The Seton girls are astonished as the ball falls between them — in bounds. Final score: 16 to 14. Anne Kessler embraces Kristy Tyler and Karen Morley hugs Cathy Cannon. The rest of the team screams with enthusi- asm and swarms over the coaches. For the first time in six years, this terrible Seton jinx has been broken. The Seton Road Runners are no longer unconquerable. The Panthers have proven their prowess. The Seton jinx is broken.

 Deep, meaningful, and lasting friendships developed through the years, and as Seniors, we realize that someday soon we may be separated. That doesn't mean we’ll forget those who are special to us, for there is no such thing as a four year friendship, not if it is based on truth, care, and sincerity. Once two lines have crossed they may meet again although some more than others.
