I wait until 8:00 Sunday night to do my homework. Weekends were not meant to do homework, they - re meant to have fun. -senior Annie Weltha -Heather Jesse After five days of school the weekend rolled around. For some students it was a break to have fun, but for others the weekend brought further responsibilities. Many students felt the weekend started as soon as Friday s 3:00 bell rang. It was a time they looked for- ward to all week. “I start thinking about the week- end around Wednesday. | can t wait to relax and get away from school, freshman Becky Allen said. Getting away from school also meant getting together with friends. There are about 20 of us that we call the gang. We usually get to- gether and have a party at some- one's house. We just keep switching houses every weekend, junior Becky Moore said. On Friday nights football and basketball games were often the main attraction. We usually go to the varsity basketball game and then to the school party afterwards, sopho- more Julia Ford said. DB tucents had a regular hangout on week- ends. Senior Mike Herman and friends often supplied food and went to senior Tony Pot- Ier e house.

(Photo by Dan Ketelsen) O Weekends Student Life 5 chool's Ouf students escaped to work and play Besides the high school games, another popular evening pastime was catching a movie. Students generally rented videos rather than going to a movie theater, and found the VCR was a very valuable source of entertainment. Theaters are too expensive at $4 a shot, especially with a date,” senior Trevor Andersen said. “Now | sometimes go to Nevada where it's only a dollar.’ Other students found weekend activities expensive. I spend all my money on week- ends. | spend it on food, movies and who who knows what else,” senior Dave Sedgwick said. After going out and spending money on weekend nights, many students considered mornings an ideal time to stay home and catch up on sleep. On Saturday mornings | usual- ly sleep in to 10:00 or 11:00. It de- pends on the mood I'm in, fresh- man [heresa Franco said. However, some students couldn't sleep in because they had to get up and go to work. Unfortunately, | can't lay around and watch all the games on | TV on the weekends because Um usually at work, junior Brian Kraus- man said. Other students had plenty of time to just lounge around on week- end days. On Saturdays | basically do nothing. | just lay around and watch a game on TV,” junior Brian Camp- bell said. But some students incorpo- rated a little exercise in their day. “| run on the weekends to stay in shape for the upcoming season,” junior Dan Bergan said. Weekends were also used to catch up on homework. Some of the gang get together and watch movies of books we were supposed to read for English, Moore said. But others put their homework off until the last minute. | wait until 8:00 Sunday night to do my homework. Weekends were not meant to do homework, they re meant to have fun, senior Annie Weltha said. | | | |

| just felt like doing Something wild and crazy for Homecoming. So | sacrificed my hair for school spirit; Junior Scot Angus Final Victory Untraditional Homecoming week ended with success -Heather Jesse Students arrived Monday morn- ing with the school in a scheme of orange and black. This was created by cheerleaders who had decked the halls the day before. Along with the decorations, a list of Homecom ing activities lined the front hall. But some of these tra- ditional events were altered through the week, creating disappointment among many students. The decorations created the most school spirit because some activities had to be cancelled, ju- nior Amy Hausman said. The activity list began on Mon- day with window painting. The window painting activities gave students a chance to use cre- ative abilities to add to school spir- it, senior Eric DeLuca said. But the spirited air began to de- flate on Wednesday when the Pow- der Puff game had to be crossed off the list due to rainy weather. | was really disappointed they changed everything and postponed the Powderpuff game.

The evening began with the an- nual coronation ceremony. Neila An- derson and Boris Bachmann were crowned Homecoming Queen and King before a thundering crowd. After coronation a pep rally was held on stage consisting of a brief pep talk from Head Football Coach Kirk Daddow. This took the place of the traditional bonfire that had to be cancelled because of the dry sum- mer. Having the pep rally inside just didn't have the same effect as hav- ing a crowd around a blazing fire, sophomore Jennie Jones said. The enthusiasm of the student body began to rise once again Fri- day as the game approached. Sev- eral football players showed their team spirit by shaving their heads and piercing their ears. | just felt like doing something wild and crazy for Homecoming,’ ju- nior Scot Angus said. “So | sacri- ficed my hair for school spirit. ` That night the crowd carried on the momentum to help lead the Little Cyclones to a 14-7 victory over the Hoover Huskies. Celebration of the victory con- tinued when approximately 375 stu- dents attended the dance held after the game. However, many students would have preferred a Saturday dance They felt that there wasn't enough time to go out before and some peo- ple were too tired after the game. Having the dance after the game made it seem like a normal school party,’ freshman Joanna Pelz said. Yet Homecoming '88 couldn't be considered normal because of the many changes. Unfortunately the week was clouded with disap- pointment and conflicts, but the vic- tory and Occasional excitement were able to shine through.
