PIZZA HUT is the favorite after-game spot for most New Haven students. A pitcher of soda, and a deep-pan pizza seemed to satisfy the specta- tors appetites the most. Maria Wilson and Erin Maroney eat their pizza. Bring on those Fridays, Saturda ;s, and Sunda{;s Five days a week students trudge into school to go through the learning routine. Seven hours per day are spent learning sub- jects and verbs from Mrs. Campbell, the total of X and y from Mr. Nietert. But come Friday night it ' s time to breakout and enjoy, relax, and or work. Two days of time are spent away from the school trying to change up so we can come back refreshed and ready to go. One major school activity on the weekend is athletic contests particularly football and basketball. For the participants, the contests give them a chance to put into practice all of the skills they have learned from the hard week of practice. In a sense it is a celebration of exuberance. For the spectators the contests offer a chance for release of emotions pent up dur- ing the week. After having been told to be quiet six periods a day, they can let it all out. The feeling after winning a close game or def eating an intense rival can be carried with you for the whole next week. Others may wish to get away from school and head for the arcades or the malls just to kill some time and be with good friends. This year the arcades attracted many people, playing Galaxian and Frogger. Some would stay until the weekly allowance was gone. The malls were cheaper because looking didn ' t cost anything. A stroll up and down the halls there was relaxing. El m ■ 1 Km mki m K ■ % 9 WJ %M - ■P ill Jl JH A BIG MAC ATTACK was all it took for students to hop in their cars and drive to McDonald ' s.

w ' TAV A time to spend working, relaxing, or competing in our favorite place But for some, the week-ends meant added responsibilities including working at home or for some of the local merchants. Several stu- dents work at restaurants such as McDon- alds, Rax, or Richards. Other students work at local filling stations such as Colonial Oil and Standard. Working does not allow for free time, but for many students, it is a time to get away from the routine of school to earn some mon- ey to take care of expenses which come up. The week-ends also provide a time for just plain sleeping and relaxing. Many students like to go to the lake in the spring and fall to be with friends, relax in the sun, or generally killing time. The winters at the lake are good for skating or snowmobiling. MINDY RALSTON. Eileen Vorich. and Julie Dun- lap got together to celebrate Lynnette Mattes ' birthday.
