No more school, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks! Yeah for graduating! Wait... College starts in August, bah! So much for no more school.

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.

All good things must come to an end, but I wouldnt want it to end with any other people or be at any other time.

Dont be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

I've learned that good-byes will always hurt; pictures will never replace having been there; memories, good or bad, will bring tears; and words can never replace feelings.

Faces of old and faces of new. People we know and people we knew. Growing together then drifting apart. Always an ending and now a new start. At graduation we all grow nearer, and all of our friends seem to much dearer. And as we say our final goodbye, one last embrace and one more cry. A "keep in touch" and a "promise I will," a "remember when" but, better still; a place in my heart, you'll always stay. This is what's said as we go our own way.

As we walk across this stage, we start a new chapter. Never forget the good times of joy and laughter. New memories to be made, a new life to begin. Never forget this day, we all grew within.

Our four years have all become unraveled and so our high school story finally ends. But years from now, no matter where we've traveled we'll all look back and think about our friends.

June the month most seniors live for. The end of one life and the beginning of another.

Through four years of school, you think somewhere along the line they would've taught us how to say goodbye.

Emotions, drama, broken hearts, and lies & they say these were the best days of our lives?

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that individuality is the key to success.

Graduation is the day I will not say goodbye. Graduation is the day I turn away and cry. All these years together have drifted by too fast. Please don't forget anyone that doesn't belong in your past. Keep them all in your future, still there holding on. Keep them all near your heart, where they're never gone.

You make friends that you think will last, but in a few years it'll be a thing of the past. We'll be the class that keeps in touch, we all love each other way too much. Four years in life we'll never forget, it will seem like we all just met.

But when we leave, you'll all be sad. We're the class that came from heaven, We're the class of Double 0 7

We get the guys you wish you had
We look so good but act so bad
Were keeping it real here in heaven
Were the class of 2007

I always knew I would look back on my tears and laugh, but I never knee I would look back at my laughter and cry

The tassel's worth the hassle.

When you leave here, don't forget why you came.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars

The young faces in these pictures represent times when our biggest worries were Barbie and Kens wedding, GI Joes missing arm, and why we had to eat vegetables at dinner again. Looking at these pictures today, sometimes we, the seniors, wish we could go back to such carefree days. But at the same, time moving on with our lives, making new memories, and gaining independence have become exciting realities that were once ideas that seemed so far away. Since sixth grade we have counted down the days until graduation. Now as the day approaches we are still anxious, but somewhat nervous. The faces in these pictures remind us of the people we once were and still are, the friends we have grown up with and also whom we will graduate with. Surviving the past 12 years wasnt easy, but in that time we had some of the best experiences of our lives. Those times are what made it worthwhile.

Its hard to believe Ive walked these halls for the past four years. Most of the people that have passed me every day I dont even know. Those I do know and know well are friends I will have forever. A life lesson: you will pass many in your travels and only a select few you will truly know. Dont judge those you only pass respect those you do know.

There are some things from our high school experiences that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives and some memories that we choose to forget. But when we look back at those experiences, well see our friends the ones who got us through everything and well realize how lucky we are to have them.

We picked up our caps and gowns and all that senior stuff thats supposed to help us remember the good ole days, but some of the things that you remember the most, cant be put on paper. That day finally came, and you sat there with all the friends you had made over the years you looked out at your family and deep down, you knew that this was a once in a lifetime moment. It was the last time in your life that all these people would be together in once place. Yeah, there would be reunions, but there was always the chance that one person wouldnt make it there. You looked back on your time with these people and realized it was short lived and that it didnt seem as if there was enough time for everything that you wanted to accomplish sports, activities, SAT, ACT, and all that good stuff. They called your name, your tassel got turned, and you got a piece of paper that said you were smart. Then you said good-bye maybe to your town, and that school and your friends. You know that you can go back to visit, but there will be strangers in the halls and its not the same. Its different youre different but its not the end. In fact, everything is just the beginning.

You spend 12 years of your life trying to learn how to live, but every time you try to live you are told that youre wrong. Then everyone you&ve grown to love is taken away and scattered. Thats what they should teach us in school to say good-bye and let go.

We may not remember the tests we failed, but we will never forget the nights we occupied ourselves not studying
