To hold money and your hands and say
" I earned this"
IS the must gracious gift and god's w ill
To live life w ithout having to steal
You made it for now
But just don't go home and chill
You graduated now life is real
A world where no one cares how you feel
But w e care
Your class 2 zero O O and E.O. cares
So make it there
Leave a dent in this atmosphere
Prove to yourself your more then the best
That you oversee the rest
And remember w ith life comes stress
But don't let it define you
And break your rhythm ic stroll
There comes a time when someone w ill slow your roll
Just use your knowledge as control
It's a lot of turns and curves on this road
Just stand up and be bold

As time zones welcome the new millennium
on January 1, the world celebrates with

The public and private sectors spend
hundreds of millions of dollars to ward
off the Y2K bug. The world lets out a
sigh of relief after midnight strikes and
no major computer malfunctions occur.
The FBI warns of possible terrorist acts

and transportation systems, thousands of people
stock up on food, water, money, ammunition and
generators. After midnight, it soon becomes

A surprising number of people, appalled by the
■exorbitant costs of travel and events, decide to stay
home on New Year's Eve. Many companies and
performers drastically slash prices as a last-minute lure.

To Ju d elin e Sf Venus Jo se p h ,
Don't ever forget that you are unique. Find your
strengths and use them in a positive way. You have to
make changes to make your dream s happen. Make
friends with people who respect you as you are. Also,
take time to be alone with yourself, so that you can
know just how terrific your own com pany can be.
Being alone doesn't mean being lonely, it is a way to
find out more about yourself.
