The weekend is always started off with a bang when the Cats burst through the victory line. Scotty Dun- ham (48) starts the night's activities.

Photo by Trena Adair GOOD TIMES LAYOUT DESIGN BY AMEE EVANS top priority Weekends! The room is deathly quiet. The air is filled with mysterious expectation of what is to come. No one stirs. Sounds like the opening scene of a murder my- stery? Look closer. All eyes are focused on the big white wall clock. Feet are poised in preparation to dash out the door. NOW what does it sound like? Right! The end of 7th period on a Friday afternoon. As soon as the bell rings, everyone dashes out the door, shouting, IT'S THE WEEKEND! Okay, it's the weekend. What happens now? Many students have favorite week- end pastimes. The thing I look forward to most about the weekends is getting to sleep as late as I want to, said Beth Love. But even something as wonderful as weekends has its faults. Jacky Young can relate to this. 1 just hate it when there is no one up town! he said. Leigh Blake agreed, If I could change one thing about weekends, it would be getting more activities for teenagers to do in Booneville! Dustin Blankenship summed up how most students feel when he said, 1 think I'd like to add about three more days to the weekend. I mean, the thing I dread most about them is having to get up Monday morning and go to school! By Shannon Dunn

 Right? It's no hassle... As Kendra Woelfel and Katy Fitzgerald venture back into the 60 s on Hippie Day. they give us that I can't believe our parents actually wore these clothes look, photo by Trena Adair Is spirit week an event everyone looks forward to, or is it considered somewhat of a hassle? How could it be a hassle? Well, let's see it from the class sponsors' viewpoint. Float materials have to be ordered three weeks in advance and that automatically assumes the sponsor already has a float idea. Senior class sponsor, Mr. Smith, flatly stated, 1 absolutely hate it. And he's been hating it for fifteen years. Mr. Hocott would only comment, I don't even want to discuss it. Mrs. Phelps seemed to have accepted her duty as she said, Well, it's okay; it just gets tiring after twenty-one years. The faculty aren't the only people who think homecoming can be a hassle. Stu- dent Council member, Deedra Hardin, said, It's hard coming up with new ideas for spirit week. What about the students? Do they feel the same way? Sherry Wann said, Personally, I look forward to it. Even if I don't dress up, I get a kick out of watching people make fools of themselves. These fools — or spirit crazed stu- dents — entertained and amused the stu- dent body and faculty. Tuesday had a different twist in spirit week. A few teachers decided since stu- dents were to dress up as teachers, they would dress up as students. Students weren't the only people who could be crazy! Wednesday, Wild Hair Day, seemed to change everyone's personality for day. Sandra Angel said, I spent three hours and a can of hairspray so my hair would stick out. How's that for spirit? Thursday, Hippie Day, featured stu- dents decked out in bell-bottoms, head- bands, and peace signs. Lawrence Capes said, I think home- coming is great! It gives me a chance to express my school spirit in the pep rally and in the big game Friday. Looking at homecoming week from both the teacher and the student views, it seemed that even though it was a hassle for some, it gave the students a chance to be crazy for one week and get away with it! by Tresa Adair
