The words to lf You Leave Me Now, a song made popular in 1976 by the rock group Chicago, seem appropriate to describe the 1976-77 school year at Reavis. According to the song lf you leave me now, You'll take away the biggest part of me. When two persons become friends whether it be two stu- dents, a teacher and a student, a coach and a student, or any other combination, each person gives a part of himself-a part that is filled with caring, sharing, and under- standing, and as these friends part, whether it be because of graduation or summer vacation, each person loses a part of him- self. This year, there seemed to be fewer cliques and more of a sense of oneness. The stereotypes started to slip away as students and teachers shared feelings of pride at sports events, fun at ac- tivities, and ideas in classes. Per- sons gave a part of themselves to be FRIENDS.
