Students and teachers found enjoyment and relaxation in different activities. Heather Stephens said, I like weekends and parties, but I espe- cially like going to concerts with friends of mine who go to another school. A survey of random students showed that 9 out of 10 students enjoyed going home and taking it easy by watching television and eating. Tania Martin said, I usually go home and watch Days of Our Lives on the VCR until my brother gets home and takes over the T.V. Teachers spent their weekends and afternoons relaxing. Ms. Anne Rich- bourg said, On weekends I run errands 3 After School for myself, and I try to catch movies or plays with friends. We do the same things as teenagersg we're just not as wild. Thirteen out of 65 teachers coached athletic teams in addition to teaching classes during the school day. Most team practices lasted anywhere from lk to 3 hours during the school week then teachers still had lessons to pre- pare for the coming day. Although students and teachers found enjoyment in different activities, they all agreed on one thing: weekends and afternoons were priceless. Laura Jenkins Chill Out!!

'Tis The Season. MHS Celebrates . . . We've been good, but we can't wait . . . Students and their families ushered in the Christmas season the day after Thanksgiving. All over Mauldin, deco- rations went up and colored Christmas tree lights could be seen through living room windows. Even riding through Mauldin during Christmas gave folks a thrill. The streets had been garbed in bright red and green. The Whatley tree stood tall, adorned with colorful lights. It was be- ginning to look a lot like Christmas. Local churches sponsored special pro- grams and activities for the community. Messiah Luthran had a children's pag- eant followed by an adult musical. Mauldin First Baptist held a special Christmas Eve communion and a Christmas dinner. Mauldin Methodist Youth went caroling and, as always, the advent candles were lit on the lawn of the church. Christmas activities at school made those long days before vacation a little All dressed up and nowhere to go Stu- dents geared towards the holidays as they real- ized vacation was near.

Despite the cold, FCA members still managed to get out and spread some Christmas cheer. Chris Windy and Mark McCall carol at Miller Oaks. iPhoto by Greg Wyatt! 38 Christmas more bearable. The Student Council sponsored Mr. and Ms. Merry Christ- mas and 'a Goodwill Tree. The FCA went Christmas caroling and collected toys and made a donation to the local toys for tots. The chorus and other groups banded together to put on Maul- dinis annual Christmas program. Final- ly, it was Fridayg the countdown to Christmas vacation. Anxiously students waited. Between the exchanging of gifts and the tedious arrangement of a mountain of early dismissals, the Christmas program went on as usual. The band played and the chorus sang. The orchestra performed a variety of Christmas tunes. The wrestling team demonstrated techniques and those Faithful Few who stayed found it very interesting. New Years rapidly followed and stu- dents wistfully looked back and won- dered why time flew by so fast. Alicia Brown
