Ahh The Memories Each of us holds our own personal memories of the years we ' ve spent here at Armstrong. As seniors leave, there will always be remembrances of special times. Perhaps as a sophomore, you lost your way and a senior helped you out. Or maybe he didn ' t. Either way, it became a memory. Maybe you had a bad day once and a friend cheered you up by taking you out to eat (after school of course). Memories are memories whether good or bad, and we will all remember that fight with our best friend and that awesome time we had at Sno-Daze. The school has brought cheers and tears to each of our lives and it is the memories that will stay with us as we each part our separate ways. Andy Smith shows his sweet side. Who can forget those countless hours in Armstrong ' s many resource rooms? Remember all those times Mike Harris and Joel Leviton tried to escape. The locker bay ... so close (to the exits) yet so far away (to the classes). Look back to those cold soccer games. Brrr! 36

Orientation In late August freshmen and sophomores came to Orientation to become acquainted with their school for the first time. As freshmen and sophomores piled into the auditorium they were introduced to principals, counselors, and other staff mem- bers. They were told how much better high school would be compared to junior high, and how mature they were all expected to be. It was a time for firsts. The school song was introduced to them as they tried to sing along with the band. Upon meeting their homeroom teachers they all filed out to find their classrooms. They also needed to get used to their first of many schedules to come. As the night ended they left with thoughts of anticipation and excitement for a bigger, better, and broader new year. Two sophs together found out that Saturday on their schedule does not really mean they have school on Saturday, but there are six days in a cycle.
