When we look back at these four years, our memories will be much more interesting than black and white letters and numbers. Our memories have deep roots not only in the classrooms, hallways, gymnasiums, fields, and parking lots of this school, but in the minds and personalities that we interacted with every week day. The activities and other endeavors we participated in made each day— in school and out- more special than the last. With trips around the world, volunteer experiences, and even a few jobs, we created lasting impressions on each other and ourselves. With great friends at our side, few of us ever acted alone. Our Senior year was more exciting and exhilarating than any in the past. Senior car decorating, Senior Breakfast, Senior Prom, and many more exclusive events made us feel like we were on top of the world. Even though this was our last year at the High School, for some our last year in West Orange, or our last year in New Jersey, these exclusive events helped us end our run in a great way. This was indeed our last year to create memories, but our lives were full of ways to do it. There was certainly no shortage of memorable moments. Even though we definitely loved our lives inside of West Orange High School, we lived our lives outside of it. □ 5 Angela Christiano enjoys her personal choice of breakfast at West Orange High School's first senior event. of the End by Ashley Indar It is said that breakfast is the foods, seniors were given the most important meal of the opportunity to purchase their day.
