But along with the fun came the regular series of tests thought cruel by many students. I don't see why teachers give tests on Friday, but I ahead. Different stud- Ents enjoyed doing a variety of things on Friday nights. Gigi Fletcher, senior, com- mented, I like going out to parties and just having a good time with my friends. There were many parties and bon fires under the I-430 bridge that students, even former students, attended. Then there were the parties and dances after all the football games whether we won or lost. Some students would just spend quiet Friday evenings at home or at a movie. Kelly Allen, junior, stated, I love going to parties but sometimes l just like to relax and enjoy a movie at home or at the theatre. Fridays were something to look forward to, but once they were gone and you woke up early Monday morning, you realized the countdown had begun once again.
