A weekend never comes too soon We looked at weekends as a deliverance from school — an escape from the drudgery of a routine week. After what seemed to be a very long week at school, we were all ready for a weekend of freedom. Seventy percent of our student body came back to school for activities such as games, dances, plays, and concerts — not to mention all the practices. We spent a lot of time at home cleaning, watching TV and doing homework. As one senior girl put it, I always thought weekends were to be a time of rest, but more teachers seem to regard them as extra time to fill up with work that there isn ' t enough class time for. We also had jobs and spent time at work, ranging from a few hours to a major portion of the weekend. When we weren ' t busy with everything else, we found extra time to spend with friends at parties, movies, and dates. Summing up the special value of weekends, John Nommay said, They ' re a time when your mother can ' t wake you up at 7 o ' clock to tell you it ' s time to go to school. 14 weekends

for restless, rowdy Fridays Looking forward to Friday was the only way most students hung on through the week. After four days of school, your mind draws a blank, senior Bob Malcolm commented. Friday was the day that people suddenly broke out in smiles when they realized what day it was. Occasional pep sessions and assemblies added to the confusion. Students ' minds wandered to the events of the coming weekend. Plans were made for dates, dances and rides to the game. On Fridays, students were just a little more anxious for the day to be over with. Why not; it ' s Friday, Sue Braun giggled. fridays 13
