(BELOW) Seniors Lisa Pierce and Kelly Russell dance under the trees. It's time to leave ... Our beginning here has come to a close, and so we look toward our future . . . But let's look back at yesterday and think about today. We arrived here alone and began our adventure together slowly, cautiously, not sure of what was expected or sure of what we wanted. But during this time, we gave up our loneliness and insecurities. We gained new friends, confidence in ourselves and a special feeling which cannot be defined by words . . . We leave so much stronger for we have shared deeply. We look at each other and smile . . . for we are all friends. Joe Befcscharfc Frehrik Bjarkman Delray Blacklehge Debbie Blankenship 13
