Many mixed feelings revolved in the minds and hearts of the prospective graduates. The possibility of not seeing friends again sidetracked the feeling of happiness and freedom. I can't wait to get out, but I'll miss all my friends, remarked Terry Schultz. Passing all of their classes and having the necessary credits to graduate, headed the list of musts . If I let my name get covered because of a stupid library fine, I would deserve not to graduate! exclaimed Mary Shim- kus. Those pre-graduation jitters cured the excitement. It's an honor to be a speaker at my own graduation, but preparing my own speech and speaking in front of so many peers and parents scares me, felt Chuck Bill- strand. Anticipation filled practically every Thornwood senior's eyes in the waning school year. Knowing that in a few weeks, they would be free of high school pres- sures they looked forward to college, to careers, to new horizons. Above: Exciting for many, terrifying for others, graduating from high school denotes a milestone in the lives of the graduates, since they must now continue on to college or to a career, leaving behind the memories and the tensions of high school.

But two wholes, when they coincide, that is beauty3 that is love. Love is an unexplained phenomenon that touches almost everyone at least once in his life. No one knows exactly what causes love, when it will happen or why it happens at all. Scientists, novelists, poets and psychiatrists have all studied love in an effort to crack the mystery of just what it is that makes people love something, whether it be another person or an object or simply an idea. There are many different kinds of love people can feel for each other. There is love between two old friends, the love parents and their children feel for each other, puppy love, and perhaps the most celebrated of all, romantic love. These types of love vary greatly but hold in common one unifying definition, love is the deep affection that binds two or more people together. How love happens has never really been explained, it seems to just happen. Maybe this is how the expression falling love was derived, as if finding love is some kind of accident. Love at first sight is one way of falling in love. Many people, however, met, courted, and waited for love to discover them and then to grow. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful emotion in the world, but losing love can be the most devastating. Peter McWilliams, a poet, expressed it this way: loving is the most cretive force of the universe. The memory of loving the most destructive. People are not discouraged, however, by love's destructive forces. They continue to take the bad with the good and learn to grow from the pain of their experiences. And through all the tears and the sadness and the pain comes the one thought that can make me internally smile again: I have loved. - 4,09- .xsf REBECCA SHARTZER Graduation 4354 ' Committee 3,43 French Club 2 PATRICK SHEFCIK BRENDA SHELBY MARY SI-IIMKUS Wrestlerettes 2 J 4 4 42' 'F-:Q fl , JEAN SHUTON Tennis 12.3.4 DANIEL SIADAK Baseball 1,2,3,4 ANTHONY SIKORA D.O.
