news system, the message
box asked, “Do you really
wish to quit Newsedit?” I
detested that message be-
cause I had no choice. I had
to quit. And I prayed my
work would still be there
when I logged on again.
One of the most baffling
messages I received on sev-
eral occasions was, “Your
computer woke from sleep
or hibernation. Your con-
nection to the server has
been lost.”
Seriously, I could be typ-
ing away and that message
would pop up on my screen.
I think my computer had nar-
colepsy. Instead of technical
support, I think it needed to
see a doctor who specialized
in sleep disorders.
Growing up in an analog
world, I’m an old dog trying
to learn new tricks when it
comes to all things digital.

Pilot Rock High School
Trevor is an outstanding student in many
areas, but excels in academics. He is the
president of National Honor Society and did a
wonderful job as emcee of the NHS Initiation
and Awards Night. His love is theater and has
taken the lead role in many plays during his
four years of high school; he takes the stage
by storm. Trevor is the senior class president
and has held a class office every year. His
quick smile brightens a room and PRHS will
miss it as he pursues his college endeavors.
Congratulations Trevor!
