4 Puff, Puff, Opening Puff ty The most recent edition to the school has been the smoking lounge. It gave students a place to smoke their cigarettes before school, between classes, and after school.

Thus, students are missing out on some of the best times of their lives. Take some advice from some wise men: “Enjoy yourself, call the life you live to- day your own.” — Euripides ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN ‘‘He who fears not the future may enjoy the present.’’ — Thomas Fuller “A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.’’ — Eric Hoffer Enjoying a pleasant conversation are Rodney Bernard and Terry Bittinger. « Opening “The future — you shall know when it has become; until then, forget it’ Aeschylus So, remember — the time you spend in high school will be only four short years, yet the future is endless.
