Comments:

I think the things that I remember the best are the people I can still see all the faces out on the grass and hear your voices. I can see Mr Goto looking out of his door. I can see Miss Ryan in math class where she would look at the board with her eyes closed .. Lord I hated Algebra. I can See the guys on Stage crew swinging from the ropes, I can hear Charlin and Robin singing, I can smell the oranges from all those bags of oranges we had to sell Senior year. I can see Leonard dressed like a bad knockoff of Elvis in Bye Bye Birdie. I have seen the new High school and the new auditorium they are great.... But I can still see our school and some times I miss you all.
