AROUND. Sophomore Kel- Haskell and freshman Adrlanna get a day off from school participate in the district track at East Texas State University. Days Gffl from school was a hollday l . I To most students, any day off I ,, - - . Scheduled holidays were always looked forward to, but sometimes when you were having a bad day, you hoped for an unexpected holiday. Sometimes you just wanted to go home and sleep. And on a rare occa- sion, it happened. For these reasons most students thought ANY day with no school was a time of rejoicing. I loved the snow days because when I got home I sat next to a fire and read, and then I went to sleep,', said junior Susan Forrest. Besides bad-weather days, teacher inservice days were also a welcome relief from school. Three-day weekends were fun be- cause l went out every night to movies or parties and spent the night with friends, said junior Shannan Hender- son. Students always looked forward to getting off from school even if it was just getting to leave early. All found these special holidays very enjoyable. GOING FlSHlN'.
