Junior Mike Bensen skirts the outside dur- ing a Sunday afternoon game of football. With or without pads, the games often turned into rough and rugged contests. Searching for a good one, senior Tim Nock- els reads the description of a movie at Loy- al’s video tape rental station. Junior Brett Bock polishes the hood of his car during a warm fall weekend.

Weekends Provide ‘Time to Relax’ Weekends were what all students looked forward to every day of the week. That was the time to relax, have fun, make memories or, if need be, work at a part-time job. “It’s the time to relax and get away from the pressures of school,” said Corey Kneifl, a junior. Not all students, however, found the weekends full of fun and excitement. For example, junior Amy Heinrich said, “Blair can be so boring at times. I just stay home and watch TV.” Among the favorite weekend activi- ties were cruising down main street and finding some friends. Students often could be found in any of the video rental stores looking for a movie to take home. With Omaha just a 30 minute drive away, a lot of students went to the Westroads or the Old Market. Those with no transportation or limited gas funds usually found local hangouts to their liking. Among the most popular local spots were Hardee’s, Pizza Hut and, in the summer, the Blair swimming pool was always a popular hangout. Senior Nick Cordle found Hardee’s his favorite spot to keep out of trou- ble. Hardee’s was always a place to go to talk, eat, and just bum around without going to jail,” he said. “If it weren’t for weekends, I’d die.” Taking advantage of a warm, early spring Sunday afternoon, senior Heidi Reyzlik rides horseback at a neighbor’s place. Waiting for their food, freshmen Lori Engelke and Tawnya Roberts relax at Pizza Hut. 10 - Weekends Hangouts
