Friendships . . . they played an important part in making the long school day more bearable. Friends were always there, providing a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, advice, or a helping hand with any proolems we managed to get into. Missy Purcell, junior, com- mented, I don ' t know what I ' d do without friends to talk to and to confide in. Not only were friends there for the rough times, but they were pre- sent for the fun times as well. Students could be found going out in groups or couples on weekends, enjoying the break from school. Students found that fun times weren ' t just for weekends. On week nights, friends got out and attended various sports activities like foot- ball games on Friday nights and wrestling matches, swimming meets, and soccer and basketball games on other nights of the week. As head wrestlette, junior, Trasi Michael stated, I like to go to the wrestling matcnes on week nights with friends. She added, It ' s more interesting than homework ... I like to support the Patriot wrestlers and to be with my friends. When not, loaded down with too much homework, some friends enjoyed shop- ping at the mall, seeing a movie, or Enjoying a weekend after- noon together, some junior friends have a picnic at Lake Sfc linole Park. Friendships break all barriei ] just visiting another friend. Friendships were not limited to only student and student. Some found that teachers proved to be fun and trustworthy friends as well. Senior, Joel Dougherty declared, Miss Lloyd proved to be a great educator and a true friend. Other students like junior, Windi Bell found teachers to be valuable friends. Mrs. Early is more like a friend than a teacher, she is kinda ' like a best friend sometimes, she ex- plained. Whether it was a relationship with a teacher or with a stu- dent, friends were friends at PHHS. Getting together, senior, Keith Stephens and junior, Jozelle Holmes are often seen together throughout the school day. » 32 FRIENDSHIPS
