Remember how much fun we had at the Junior-Senior party at Uintah Canyon? There are so many Days to Remember! We started the year very light-hearted and care-free. Never had we dreamed that so much lun could be tied up in one school year. Suddenly we realizet I that soon we woidd be the mighty Seniors and the school would look to us for leadership.
