The earlybird wakes with the sun while the night rider pushes the midnight hour. Students flip for While the earlybirds set their alarms for 5 a.m. and or- ganized themselves by leaving a whole hour to study for their test, the night owls crammed every bit of essential informa- tion into their heads before the clock hit 1 a.m. While go- ing from the extremes, many people seem to do certain ac- tivities better at specific times of the day. Studying to some was one of those activities that had to be accomplished before the night was over. Whether it took a person until 1 a.m., it would have been done. I can usually concentrate much bet- ter late at night because it is so quiet and there are no inter- ruptions from the t.v., stated senior Christine Johnson. But for those who had to be asleep by 9 p.m., early morning studying was the best way to remember the material. I have to study early in the morning because I have such a short memory, commented junior Julie Calvert. Although shopping could be time consuming, one was usually able to make time for it. Some activities, due to school, had to be done either early in the morning or at night, for instance, the dilem- ma of picking out the right outfit for school. Mothers would always say, Lay your clothes out the night before! To some this was the best way to save time in the morning. If I didn ' t decide what I was going to wear the night be- fore, I usually arrived late to school, said senior Marcy Lang. But to others it made no difference. It really didn ' t matter if I already knew what I was going to wear because I would usually just throw something on in the morn- ing, explained senior Chuck Hanas. Another way to save time before school was to take a shower the night before in- stead of in the morning. It was much easier to take a shower the night before be- cause it gave me extra time to sleep, stated senior Jodi Jer- ich. I had to take a shower in the morning or I felt really dis- gusting all day long, com- mented sophomore Laurie Lieser. While the interference of school made some choose to do certain things in the morn- ing or night, little chores around the house would most likely be completed at a cer- tain time of the day. The ever so dreaded task of walking the dog would have some awaken to the sunrise, or to others, the smell of a crisp evening. I would much rather walk the dog in the morning because I felt so much more alive throughout the day, ex- plained freshman Jay Dye. Ac- cording to senior Chris Ca- mino, Walking the dog at night was a lot better than the morning because it was a chance to take a break and get out of the house. So whether it was the early- risers who would rather do their tasks in the morning, or the late night workers, it did not matter, the job got done. Z-ooking fir the perfect outfit, junior Lisa Hurubean organizes herself the night before by laying her clothes out for the next day of school. S; laying up into the early hours of the morning, senior Karl Hand tries to keep his eyes open as he reads h is gov- ernment book for a test. Morning Night Life

the week, not end i Sod «« ' Beginning orov ide a it. weekend P event f U f . ■ • B-Pv-E°A°K What better way was there to start off the week than by spending it with friends on the weekend? Although it was the common belief that Saturday and Sunday ended the week, they were really preparing people for Monday morning by providing exciting or relax- ing activities. The weekend could have been a time when one could sleep in, relax, or just enjoy himself. I looked forward to the weekend because it was a break from school, and a time that I could be with my friends, explained freshman Julie Bacino. While some sat around and relaxed during the weekend, others had responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. I didn ' t have much free time on the weekends because I was work- ing at my dad ' s office a lot of the time, stated sophomore Neil Rosario. As many students might have found their weekends with no free time and too fter a long tiring day, sophomore Jay Potasnik and junior Lynette Thompson grab a quick bite to eat at Wendy ' s. Students had awaited the Dec. 18 opening of Wendy ' s to pro- vide a new alternative to fast food. many responsibilities, others found themselves with no re- sponsibilities and too much free time. The weekends can sometimes be really boring if you don ' t have money to go shopping or to see a movie, complained junior Lori Kobus. A lot of my weekends are spent cleaning house or doing homework. Starting off the week with a really fantastic weekend or a really dull, boring, uneventful one could usually determine the outcome of the week. There were many different opinions of the perfect dream weekend. My perfect week- end was taking the train down to Chicago and going shop- ping on Saturday, and even just bumming around with my friends on Sunday, stated freshman Andrea Roy. While some enjoyed relax- ing on weekends, others liked a more serious weekend. My perfect weekend was spend- ing my Saturday afternoon at a speech meet, placing well and finishing my homework or go- ing to a movie with a friend on Sunday, explained junior Ju- lie Pardell. Those people who partici- pated in sports found that spare time was rare. Practice, meets, or games were a big part of an athlete ' s weekend. My Saturdays were all dedi- cated to swimming. We had either practices or meets ev- ery Saturday of the season, said senior Mike Gonzales. Whether spending the weekend working, relaxing, or simply having fun, most found the two days an enjoyable time for rest and relaxation. Most of all, they found it a break from the usual hectic weekday schedule, and an ex- citing way to start off the week! On7 of the many treats people en- joy on the weekends is having the op- portunity to turn off and ignore the blare of the alarm clock. Junior Kevin Zaun wastes the morning as he sleeps until the early afternoon. 22 Weekends
