Mr. Webster defines a friend as a person who favors or supports. However, high school buddies are much more than this. A friend is someone to be excited or depressed with; laugh or cry with; happy or sad with;, but mostly jus someone to be with. Friends are spotted in the lunch- room laughing and cutting up. They rush out of class to spend a few minutes at the locker talking about that hunk in English. A group of boys are often seen sit- ting on cars discussing what they did Saturday Night. It is not even uncommon to find good friends passing the time with a deck of cards. Amid the hectic hubbub of class, it is always refreshing to take a few minutes to be by yourself. This time alone, to just be yourself, is essential to almost all of our lives.

Pinson Valley is not immune to this mysterious disease that has mspired many to don their gym shorts and Nikes as they take off on a several mile trek. Several teachers here at PVHS have joined millions of Americans in their obses- sion with running. Runners notice changes in their lives as their running increases. They become calmer and concentration comes easier. At the same time runners master their bodies. They know the limitations they have physically and also have the satisfaction of being in control of a body that is in com- parable to a well oiled machine.
