This is Valentine’s Day and by now you
all know that I love to have themes, so...
here is my theme for the day: LOVE.
To get it all started, let’s talk romantic
love (see "mushy" in the dictionary). I guess
that this one is the most common of all loves
and also the most often sought. Women
dream of a man like Rhett Butler who’ll
walk into Tara (or in this case Decker, Nan-
ney, Stroup, or HAPY) and sweep them
away into a life of luxury and romance for
the rest of their days. Men, on the other
hand, often visualize the complete woman
as a combination of Elle McPherson,
Suzanna Hoffs, and Dolly Parton (I think
you all know why) who can play Super
Mario Bros, and Techmo Bowl.
Another very common love is com
panionate love (see "man’s best friend" in
the dictionary). This is the type of love that
a person shares with a best friend, as well as
being what a man feels for his best coon
dog.
Unrequited love (see "I love him, but he
doesn’t know I exist" in the dictionary),
though not as desired as the other two, is
also very common. This is the love that goes
unnoticed— the "secret admirer" too shy to
approach the object of his/her affection.
Although I have only mentioned three
types of love, I feel compelled to stop here
and share a little personal insight on the
matter. Mind you. I’m no love-expert, but I
do know what love is. Love could bring out
the butterflies in the stomach of Arnold
Schwarzenegger. You can’t sleep; you can’t
eat (unfortunately this symptom didn’t hit
me); you want to always be with the object
of your affections. In short, when love hits,
be prepared to go nuts. You’ll laugh, but
you’ll cry. When the smoke clears though,
if it really is love, it will still be standing right
beside you.
On this Valentine’s Day a message to all
those who know, have known, or want to
know what love is: you need not look any
farther than the inside of your heart; it’s
there.
And finally, to my dearest Pamala Dawn,
I love you.

nurse who taught Health Occupations.
Mrs. Worth had a lot of faith in Donna.
She worked with Donna, letting her try to
do things she wanted to and helping her ac
complish them. Whenever Donna goes
home, she always stops in to see Mrs.
Worth. Immediately after graduation
Dorma had to have surgery on her back,
which confined her to two months in the
hospital, ten months in a body cast, and one
year in bed. During this time, Donna’s
mother and her friends were encouraging
her to go to college. After careful con
sideration she decided she would try it.
Donna received the Governor’s Award
for Junior Volunteer for her hospital work..
She is certified to work with the North
Carolina bloodmobile. Although Donna is
uncertain about her plans after graduation,
she is considering becoming a counselor.
