Doug Wright, Benjamin McNeil and Kenny Martin enjoy spending their spare time together talking about the big game—state. Cliques Gangs of Fun for Friends As defined by Webster, a clique is “a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons with a presumed identity of interests, views, or purposes.” Exclusive circles with presumed and uni- form interests were abundant in great variety. Friends shared everything from surprise par- ties to fights with their parents. Friends gathered before school in the Commons Area to chat and work on homework. At lunch, they gathered to spread the gossip. Mark Wall- ing, Kenny O'Quinn, Jack Net- tles, Billy Callahan and Denny Ferrell spent their lunch breaks in the library finishing up as- signments with one another’s help. The very close relationships that developed among students were special. Friends had ups and downs but they always pulled through together and made bad times pass quickly. Niki Woovis said, “I will never forget all the times we spent to- gether.” Sherri Corbett, Regina Hutto, Niki Woovis, Wendy Bashnan, Michelle Pryor and Laura Bell clown around after a practice for the Powder Puff game.
