 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.

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.

Right: Homecom- ing week was five days of spirit events and class competitions. On Monday the school was overrun with hats and mys- terious sunglasses. There was a locker decoration day, a flower exchange day, and the ulti- mate rally itself. Sophomore Sheryl Blyton, clutching her carnation seems lost in the confusion. Far Right: This year’s pep rally was treated to a special attraction. The squad of pom pom girls from 1976 performed a mem- orial routine. Sen- iors Eileen Judge, Joanne Starzec and Kathy Taylor were among the group who danced fan- tastically to the theme from Star Wars. Below: Each year the boys varsity football team treats the crowd with their own original cheers in their own original costumes. Here the senior class watches with mixed emotions as the guys shake that thing. 10
