Description:	This is the timeto remembercause it will not last forever.These are the daysto hold ontocause we wontalthough well want to ...This is the time ...Billy Joel,THE BRIDGEOf the high school years, it has been saidthese are the best years of your life.Although we may not yet generally agreewith this statement, there is a joy, enthusiasm and zest for life that permeateseverything that we do.But some will say, these are lousytimes—school is a real drag, theres toomuch pressure to get good grades, and Icant wait to get out of this place. True. Wemay hear some version of these complaintsevery day. But there are a lot of things whichmake these years memorable.When we consider our role as high schoolstudents and take time to look around us atour school, at Bloomington, at the UnitedStates, at this island in space called Earth,—we really can all say these are thebest of times. Bloomington South studentsare truly involved in their world. Countlessstudents participate in athletics and raisethe roof supporting Panther teams as theyenter the fray of competition.Students participate in Bloomington andMonroe County politics, campaigning forthe candidate of their choice and working atthe polls. Every year students visit foreigncountries, learning from their hosts andsharing their cultures with each other.The beauty of our world and the expressions of joy, defeat, love and spirit all tell astory of our feelings and experiences as BHSSouth Panthers. Brightly colored balloons,rainbow confetti and streamers slowly drifting to the floor are all symbolic of TheTime of Our Lives. While these symbolswill eventually come to rest, our memorieswill last forever.A tranquil sunset provides aspectacular end to an excitingday at sea.
