Youive picked me up when I was sad. Through grade school, middle school and high school, too. It seems my friend, I shall always need you. The years have past and we grow older. As graduation advances we must be bolder. Things will change before very long. But remember my friend we must remain strong. Now is the time to leave old memories behind, But do not worry, new ones we shall find. -Barbi Shelley Mike Zaccanini and Stacey Borgelt walk to their seat before graduation Amy Whitaker in. cement began- .r....wrv ,.-., . . e em.v....w,.i,, A . , 4U
