QQ'-. Mom says she never got away with half as much as we did. And that school was the center of her and her friends' lives. The boundaries of the average student have ex- panded over the last 20 years. Then the school had no problem with closed campus. But a lot has changed in these 20 years. lt's no wonder the ad- ministration had to add another bouncer. Qne just wasn't enough any more.

Deci- sions become harder when they become our decision. Even my little brother knows what he wants to be. He attends all the meetings with the college representatives, and his counselor told him to take certain classes so he will have the pick ot the college he wants. Even the school is pushing tor the tuture. 'Back to the basics! Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Although our emphasis had switched trom school to other things, VPT-lS's students did not torget about their futures. We knew that high school would be over soon, graduation would come and go, and we would have to leave VPHS behind. The vague teeling persisted that with college or jobs in the tuture, The Best Times of our lives may soon be over. This still didn't stop VPT-TS's students from keeping spirit in our school. We were here to enjoy school while we could. The good times will always be remembered. The 4,0 report card, l We walked to school in 4 teet ot snow tool, the special moments, the CIF games, class unity, triends, teachers, and loves we will always re- member.
