Monday Mournings ive days and counting. And counting and counting. Don't even think about Friday, it s countless light-years away. Mondays, usually forty-eight hours long, have two distinguishing qualities: fear and panic. The fear of the impending day of regulation-filled surroundings at school and the panic of turning in the blank sheet of paper that was supposed to be your homework. These, along with added depression and that traditional lousy-weather make Mondays as welcome as Armageddon. The advent of a new week of school begins with wake up calls and ends with the next Monday already on your tail. After two days of sleeping late, that alarm clock is such a welcome sound. 1 could scream. It always rings louder on Monday, quipped senior, Laurette Stevens. Dreary” describes the monotony of Monday weather. Clouds and rain are staples. Seeing the sun on this day is as common as seeing Halley's Comet. It's bad enough we have to get up early, but to have such bad weather, it's just too much,” griped senior, Jimmy Terrell. The final, and probably the worst attribute of Mondays is having to attend school. Summer Mondays aren't bad. School is bad enough on Fridays, but on Mondays it's totally unbearable, complained Cammie Cart. In spite of all the depression, and despair, there are those who manage to rise above it all, like Charles Vernier. A super cool senior, he woke up one muggy January Monday at 7:45, pulled on his jeans and dashed into first hour seconds before the tardy bell. Quite pleased with his timing, he failed to notice that the jeans he had put on were his mother's Gloria Vanderbilts. His Monday went down the tube but he sure made everyone else's. — CART Gabbert, Michael Galipeau, Ann Marie Gary, Jolene Gary, Linda Gaspard.Greg Gaspard, Pam Gauthreaux, Rhonda Grandy, Greg Granger.

Athletic Supporters they came in all shapes and r sizes, sticking with the athletes through thick and thin. Even to the innocent eye. they were easy to spot, lending support in pouring and humid heat, freezing cold and blowing winds, they were there ... those wonderful, loyal, lovable fans. Parents, of course, could always be counted on for support. When sons or daughters were out playing their hearts out. parents were in the stands yelling their hearts out. My mom went to nearly every basketball game we played, informed freshman Sam Hill. It was great to know that someone Cared that we were playing.” Some parents went above and beyond the call of duty. While they had children that played a sport, that was not the only spor- ting events they attended. Skip Rogers family could be seen watching most games, even though their son was not always playing. Mr. and Mrs. Cart were visible at every football and baseball game, cheering the team onto victory. There were some people, however, who will be remembered. Bill Riviere even had his own fan club. At the varsity basketball games, a group of enthusiastic people could be seen cheering for Bill, whose main position was on the bench. Fans were dedicated to giving the school team the encouragement to drive them on to victory. They made the victories sweeter, and the losses less bitter. They showed that, in any sport, that all athletes need athletic supporters — CHOZEN Guillory, Kevin Haley. Vivian Hamic, Jeff Hanks. Pauline Hantz, Jonathan Harlow.
