The five day countdown began every Monday morning. Junior Jeremy Grace explained, “I looked forward to the weekend be- cause it was a time when there was no pressure from school, and I could do anything I felt like.” Friday nights were special. Stu- dents postponed their homework while thoughts drifted to more im- portant things like, What am I go- ing to wear tonight?

For those who weren't able to go out of town, teen night clubs were a must. Goldrush and Devilhouse were available Sunday nights, where students could dance the night away. Although weekends always seemed too short, they gave stu- dents something to look forward to. It has been said that people live for the weekends, and the Mus- tangs proved it.
