The monotonous routine of school; rising at six in the morn- ing, waiting for the school bus, first period, realizing that your homework didn't get itself done last night, constant opening and shutting of lockers, math, announcements, waiting for the final bell, and then ... the WEEKEND!!!! Freedom from teachers, homework, and from fhe everyday pressure from school. The weekend is a time to re- ax, lie back, and catch your second wind just in time for Fri- day night. Friday night ... a light for carousing with your buddies in Georgetown or cramming ten of your closest friends into your parents new four-seater car and breaking ail speed records heading to- wards the football game. The morning after the night before, Saturday morning. It is a quiet time for a maximum of sleep and a minimum of noise. At exactly the same time that Saturday night begins, you have fully' recovered from the night before and are ready to roll downtown again for another rousing night on the town or out to the movies with your favorite date. Saturday night is special. It has been commented by par- ents that if students were to spend the time they use groom- ing themselves for a date on homework, their grade point averages would rise tremendously. While Saturday morning was spent in slumber, Saturday after- noon is spent crashed on the floor in front of the tube vegging out. Then you drag your body into the shower spending no time deciding whether to use the soap that opens your eyes or doesn't leave a film on your body; you grab a bar and lather up. ZING! You are awake and alive — feeling so good that you're convinced that you could conquer the world with one hand tied behind your back. Saturday night, it sends tingles down your spine, it's a chance to do something novel, let your imagination and your spirit run wild, the opportunities are end- less. These excursions make up our everyday lives. This is your chance to look at a birds eye view of the past ... the time span from September 8,1981 to June 18,1982. From us to you, this is our story.
