PlUffSCd in to a Sony Walkman, seniors Dave Steiner and Michelle Robbins listen to the REO Speedwagon tape in the back of the room. After the lesson for the day was com- pleted. many teachers allowed students to amuse themselves for the remainder of the class period. Newcomers to the school, the fresh- men get into the spirit of things and shout their battle cry. After roaming the halls for six weeks, the Homecoming pep assembly provided them with the opportunity to show everyone that they weren ' t just quiet little freshmen. Signifying more than just the birds and beesTthe facts of life branched out to represent all the aspects of a student’s day. Overcoming the obstacles of a first date or the fatigue resulting from a long night at float, as well as laughing with friends during parties, pep rallies, and passing periods, individuals discovered the diversity of problems and pleasures.

Cultural cuisine, mega-munchies, birthday bashes, and beverages characterize life at an invigorating P d A° Pi°T p Y Sixth hour, Friday after- noon: the magic moment. The final bell rings and the week- end has begun. What was on most every- one ' s mind? Homework? Hardly. Monday ' s big comp test? Not even close. Partying? Jackpot! Students felt that they de- served their party time due to hectic schedules during the week. I think getting togeth- er with your friends is impor- tant. Your ' re under pressure all week long and you need time to unwind, said senior Lisa Pavlovich. From freshmen to seniors, everyone partied differently. Everyone has a different idea of what a party is, stated sen- ior Jodi Jerich. For me, sitting around with my friends just talking or watching TV could make a great party. Others had different ideals on the perfect party. Going out with your friends and get- ting rowdy is the only way to party, explained senior Tom Fuller. The word party can mean more than what is done a weekend. Partying has even found it ' s way into the class- room. Many felt it added to a class when students were al- lowed to participate. In-class parties improve a class; they offer a break in regular class routine, junior Charlie Shoe- maker said. Birthdays offered another occasion to celebrate. Deco- rated lockers, happy birthday signs, cakes at lunch, presents, and an occasioal clown with balloons were all ways stu- dents conveyed happy birth- day. I was really surprised and excited when my friends decorated my locker on my birthday, said sophomore Yvette Gonzales. Whatever the reason for the party, whether birthdays, cul- tural, or just get togethers, students took a chance to get away from the day-to-day rou- tine. I aking time out from the busy activ- ity of the Publications Department, senior Ann Miller and junior Diane Monak help themselves to some food to celebrate a completed deadline.
