They’re Always There According to a school-wide Terrier survey, friends are very important, but not even good friends can take the place of family. You can always depend on your family to help cheer you up or just talk, said senior Paula Crain . This thought was express- ed by the majority of the 225 Ter- riers surveyed. Sophomore Staci Litsch felt that her family's support was a positive influence on her perfor- mance. It makes me try that much more because I know they're always behind me. My parents give me an outlook on life that everything can be worked out, said senior Tammie Maggard. Having a sibling in school isn't always a rosy experience. Brad Chamblers claimed his brother Brent Chambers ... tells false statements about me. On the other hand, Eddie Hamilton likes having his brother Brandon and Barry around because They will always look up to you and tell other kids 'that's my brother' . Some THS student had not only brothers and sisters at school, but parents as well. This brought about a unique set of problems and advantages. Both Brett Vo well and Brent Kourt didn't like overhearing comments made about their parents but realized that they didn't mean it personally. . Jennifer Ayers said that when she got in trouble, her parents were the first to find out about it . She added that it was usually all right, though. . Maybe Debra Stinson summed up most Terrier's feelings about family when she said It's always a good feeling to know that they care enough about you to be there. Denna Garner Parents show their support through thick and thin. This group cheers the Lady Terriers at the State Basketball Tournament.
