Jfl» :ii s c . ° When a person enters high school, he is faced with many joys, decisions, and agonies There are the joys of friends, teachers, and school events, such as dances and games. Also, students have to make many decisions concerning their futures, such as which college to attend, what to major in, and what to do for a living — let alone the day to day decisions of what classes to take for their four years, what clubs to join, and what activities to participate in. There are minor decisions, such as who to take to the big dance, what color tux or dress to wear to prom or homecoming, who to take out on a date and many more. Many adults view these minor decisions as being childish and ridiculous, which in many cases they are, but they are the last chance students have to be childish and ridiculous before we enter the no-nonsense adult world. Along with the joys of being a student also come the agonies. Agonies such as taking one more SAT test before the final deadline, taking the tough classes in the last two years when most students want to kick GO TEAM GO. Debbie Canning, ASB President, and Will Nash talk to the assembled crowd during Downey Warren Pep Assembly back, and saying good- bye to many beloved friends at the end of 4 years. Students must remember the awards of working hard and doing things we do not want to do along with the many fun things. The friends we have made here won ' t be forgotten. Indeed, our high school years should be ones of the most fun and fulfilling in our lives, and years which will remain in our memories for all our years to come. — Marry Christidis
