Memories Bring Past to Mind
By KATHY COOPER
The time has come to speak of cabbages and kings and of all those things that are dear to us in one respect or another.
It will be hard for the seniors to remember just what it was that made the English teacher send him to S-201, five years from now. It will be hard for him to recall why his math teacher sent him a little note of thanks at the end of the year.
It will be even more difficult for him to remember his friends faces and their expressions when the time for graduation came. But these are a few of the misfortunes of growing old and leaving places where we have been for a long time.
It should not be too hard, however, for some of those memories to come in handy some cold, rainy night when the lights have gone off and there is no one in the house but you. Some of these memories will cause laughter; others, tears. But they are still something to hold on to.

The teenage years are very important ones. They bring about the learning experience. And what is not to be learned from our four years of high school?
Some of the memories of high school are the songs that mean something special because you heard it when you were with him or her. Perhaps when you look into the mirror you see yourself as you were the day he asked you for your first date or to the Prom.
As time goes by, memories fade - everyone knows that as a fact. Holding on to them is probably the hardest thing a person can do, and yet it is most likely the thing he has to do if he wishes to be happy in life. Memories are the key to a rewarding existence.
Throughout our four years of high school, we should try to build good memories. They help us to build our future. They help us to realize our goals in life. Memories should not be avoided as being something for the weak to lean on in times of distress, but should be taken in and learned from.
