Sb ell 5 Wm People were important to us. Without people our lives would have been worth nothing. We had administators who kept us in line, making sure we kept out of trouble. Our teachers helped us learn. They taught us how to be a better person. The most important people to us were our friends. They were the ones we counted on and the ones who counted on us. Our lives were filled with people. They made high school what it was. -U Jw- 9 A 5 AW i f. f-its ,1 W J. A, ., 'ePaf0hlee ik
