Taking the plunge. Carrie Mower and Ami Evans get wet for a good cause outside at the Alta Fair. Booths for games or food helped various clubs raise the needed funds for their activi- ties throughout the year. Super Man, Caterpillars, And Dunking Booths pie threw cream pies at them, and a lot of people that volun- teered got hit right smack in the face, but they loved every minute of it. Then to top the day off with activities, the freshmen football team battled with West Jordan, resulting in a 29 to 12 victory for the Hawks. Thursday the 24th: The Might Pep Rally. This year the officers tried something new. Instead of just lighting of the A they had tried to light the whole school name ALTA . Fireworks lit the sky despite the rain. The 2000 Alta fans showed their approval with applause. Ten people from each class were involved in the caterpillar race. The stu- dents from each grade were tied together; then they had to roll together for twenty yards. The seniors placed first in the competition. More than anything else, the Might Pep Rally was a tre- mendous success. Arm cranked up. Todd Handley launches a pass against Bingham in the Homecoming game. Another good game for Junior quarterback Handley lead the Hawks to a 23-6 victory over the Miners. Man was not meant to fly. as they say. but nothing will stop Mark Daniels as he flaps way above the junior float as Kenni Hiatt Andrea Frazier steady the A”. Wind and rain weakened the flames of the ALTA sign, which in- 12 • Homecoming stead of the traditional A , was burned this year at the night pep rally.

Take NyQuil—Bypass Mondays Rudely ending a pleasant dream, the raucous buzzing of the alarm awakens you. Stumbling slowly out of bed, you notice that you’re an hour late. The pitch black morning greets you cold- ly. Turning on the light makes your eyes feel like they may fall out. Another bleak, gloomy Monday has dawned. Monday was usually the day that buses were missed or cars repeatedly would not start. Mondays produced a general feeling of dismay like finally trudging to school thirty minutes late in the rain and finding that for- getting to study for the big geometry test severely lim- its the chances of passing, the essay that was due is sitting at home on the dress- er, half-finished, and worst of all you don’t have any lunch money. Monday was the day you shut your coat in the locker on your fingers were slammed in a car door, the hem came undone on your pants, then you dropped your books in the middle of a crowd and everything was trampled. You accidentally put the igni- tion key in the car door and it broke in half on Monday. Dur ing lunch, you leaned over the table to talk to a friend and sat back with chocolate and spa- ghetti stuck to your white shirt. To top it all off, you saw your boyfriend girlfriend holding hands with your worst enemy. Nothing ever went right! After partying, pigging out and keeping late hours all weekend, Mondays are not faced with much enthusiasm. When the scales zoomed five pounds heavier than Friday, many diets began on Monday morning. Usually by noon, diet- ers gave in to the junk food craze, promising themselves they would begin again the fol- lowing Monday. Monday filled everyone with dread. Zombies filled the halls and classrooms impatiently waiting for the day to end. ’’There shouldn't be a Monday. Monday’s make you feel like there is nothing left to live for! commented Diana Dee. HOW TO COPE WITH THE 52 MONDAYS IN THE YEAR 1. Make sure your homework gets done; take it every- where with you (on dates, to parties, shopping). 2. Catch up on sleep, take naps in every class. 3. Set alarm an hour earlier than usual to give yourself more time to be late. 4. Spend the day in the nurses office. 5. Take NyQuil Sunday night and sleep until Tuesday!!!! Perhaps exhausted from weekend fun. Kim Kaas lounges while reading. Inability to 'get going'' was the hardest part of starting the week. Seeming more difficult to get up on time than other days. Mondays often find friends running late for classes. With new attendance poli cies. many rushed to avoid the 2% penalty for tardies. 14 • Mondays
