WEEKENDS WERE MADE FOR . . . Hey. Bob! What are you doing this weekend? How should I know? It's only Tues- day. Tuesday! Is that all? I'll never make it. The bell rings at 3:10 Friday; it's time to party. The once tired students are now in a mad dash for their wheels. No- body's worrying about papers due or tests to study; they're more con- cerned about where everyone's going tonight: if anyone's going down to Lindsay, if Todd Quigg is having a par- ty. if the gang is going to see Risky Business. or what's on HBO or Cine- max. Saturday is usually the day when you make up those extra hours of sleep. It's the day to go to Northpark and ex- pand your wardrobe or stare at the stereo system you can't afford. But it's not all fun and relaxing; it's work time. too. It's the time when Mom says. Boy. I sure could use some help around the house. or Dad says. What a perfect day for you to cut the grass. It's when the boss says I really need you to work tonight. Doesn't it seem like all the great things happen on the night you work? I need the money, but I need the social .time, too. said senior Scott Tooley, who works at Happy Joe's. Saturday night turns out about the same as Friday, except you have to be in early for church. Sunday. It can't be Sunday already! Suddenly, the fact that the Humanities journal, and Writ- ing Experience research paper are both due tomorrow, hits you like a ton of bricks. Students worry so much about their homework, they don't get started until about 10:30 Sunday night As soon as it's started, the body be- comes extremely tired; so tired that homework is nearly impossible to ac- complish. Thoughts and writing be- come blurred as the communication between the brain and fingers fades. The alarm goes off with an explosion. You look at your homework, it's done, you don't even remember doing it. Yes, it's hard to believe that the week- end is over. It seems like you didn't get to do anything at all. and escape the Sf, e a fy Photo D AshtS! ,he 18

FAMILY AFFAIR Can you imagine living with twelve brothers and sisters? Kit Hayslett. the youngest of thirteen siblings, com- mented. I like to have so many in our family because I am never alone or lonely. There is always someone home. All of the Hayslett's have at- tended Central. Let's face it families are not the same. Another family, such as Tina Thurn's. may only have two members; Tina and her two-vear-old son Tony. Tina is still able to attend school because her sister watches Tony in the morn- ing. Raising a child is a lot of responsi- bility ond I have learned a great deal from it. explained Tina. Relationships differ within each household. Sometimes a mother may seem like an older sister. My mom always tries to understand everyth- ing. She looks at situations from a par- ent's point of view, and a teen- ager's. thoughtfully commented Ju- nior Cyndi Cox. Sometimes a brother of a new baby is old enough to be the father. Senior Ted Godwin hds a nine-month old sis- ter Maggie. When he was told that his mother was pregnant, Ted said that he could hdrdly believe it. He wondered if it would be too hard on his mother, it was a big adjustment at first, having a little baby around the house, especially since I can bar- ely remember my other sister at that age. I think Maggie has helped unify our family. It matters not how old parents are. the number of family members, or the age difference between brothers and sisters. The most important as- pect is the special relationship be- tween its members. YS 20
