Bosom Buddies I SI B ecause of the irregular hours that yearbook editing requires, I tended to blow my friends off and our plans when a deadline wasn ' t met so that I could com- plete it. It was always at the last minute. How- ever, I knew they would un- derstand later when I explain- ed. All I had to say was. ' Cut- singer ' and they understood. -- junior Alex Grossman said EST FRIENDS. They jump- started your car, loaned you their last buck and let you copy notes. Going beyond the call of duty, chums took their relationships that extra mile to recreate the grade school buddy system . My friends arc people 1 can usually count on. I call them because I need advice or just to talk about life, and they ' re always there for me when I need them, senior Brent Graham said.

Even though friends casually gos- siped about the tall, dark and handsome rich guy or the sexy, blonde chick, they also shared more personal ideas. 1 don ' t share my hopes or dreams with many, yet when I do I like to talk about my dreams of college and the later years when I ' m older and married, sophomore Brook Bautisto said. Most looked for and attracted bud- dies with values, beliefs and ambitions similar to their own and created cliques. 1 want a friend who will be with me whenever I need them, whether I want to just have a good time or share a problem. It ' s good to know that some- one ' s there for me, sophomore Megan Drummond said. Whether it meant giving a friend a ride to school or helping with that last math problem, pals took the extra step when it came to helping out a buddy. Edited by Tracy Moffett W [ BUDDIES!
