T.G.I.F. 'Thank God it's Friday was a popular phrase used on that long, drawn out day of the week by students, and teachers alike. Whether it was Friday or not, that last bell of the day was our green light signalling our go-ahead to our own personal lives. Any free time away from school and homework was usually spent 'lwisely by most students. Santa Cruz and Stinson were frequented beaches, where a couple, or a cluster of close friends, could spend a beautiful day. Roller skating was a popular new pastime in Benicia, while the city pool never lost its popularity on hot days. The city and state parks provided comfortable atmospheres where people 'lkick-back and relax or toss around a frisbee. Restaurants, fast food chains, and snack shops all were within our reach when we got an incurable case of the Hmunchiesf' The good times passed quickly and soon we were back in school thinking about our past activities and planning new ones for the days to come.
