When the 2:00 bell rang on Friday, students left behind all memories of school and trans- ported themselves to a totally different world — the world of weekends, which meant 72 hours of movies, concerts, fast cars and good friends. After the usual high-spirited Friday night football games, stu- dents descended upon all the lo- cal hangouts to catch up on all the latest gossip. Various lots across town were filled as the car- crazed searched for the threaten- ing, jacked-up cruisers. Those that were music lovers spent most of their weekend attending miscellaneous concerts held in the bay area. It was guaranteed that all the time was put to good use. The effects of too many week- end activities were always felt on Monday mornings as students re- turned to the monotony of school life.

Before a Gamc 13 Pre-Game Preps A cool breeze blew through the school, rustling the many spirit posters on the walls. There was a certain feeling of tension in the air that could only mark one thing ... an upcoming Friday night football game. All week varsity cheerleaders displayed signs of luck and pride, Tornadoettes sold spirit ribbons and the entire school population rushed about in their red and gray wardrobes. For home games especially, Friday was a big day. Anyone and everyone who had some- thing to do with the event proud- ly displayed their uniforms. The band marched through the halls, led by flags and followed by Tor- nadoettes. As the excitement mounted, teachers found it al- most impossible to conduct classes. When the 2:00 bell rang, final preparations for the game went into effect. Football players re- ceived last minute game plans from Coach Nicely and then gathered for dinner at Capogna’s or a steak house. Impatient Tor- nado fans filled the stadium, waiting for their heroes to come out onto the field. Led by the dy- namic varsity cheerleaders, fans ecstatically cheered the team on to victory.
