Students Were Ready for the Fast Weekends After Cortez students finished a long hard week of schoolwork, most were ready for the weekends and what the fastlane could br- ing them. For many, the fast lane brought parties. Almost every weekend one could plan on at least one party that would bring every one together to kick back and celebrate for one reason or another. Parties are fun because you can just kick back and be yourself, ex- claimed Amy Bratt, senior. Scott Davis, also a senior, added lt's great seeing all your friends and it keeps people off the streets. Most of the parties could be found at someones house, somewhere in the desert, or various parks around the valley. Cruising was another popular pastime. Cortesians could be found cruising anywhere from Central to Metro or even A.S.U. usually most were looking for a party or just checking things out. This year the fast lane also brought more people to the dances. I think more people 'vent to the dances this year and were lots more spirited and TOGETHER!, said Jennifer Derr, sophomore. People really seemed to catch the beat and make the spirit rise high for the night. Kai.

W k - N Tailgate Party Builds Spirit Cortez's Second Annual Tailgate Party was a great success. lt took a while for people to get interested and involved, but I was really pleased with the outcome, said jennifer McRae, student body president. The tail ate party was held in the far west parking lot. Hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, and chips were provided for everyone. It's really fun having everybody get their cars together and having a big par- ty, said Chris Riddle, senior. Entertainment included music and freestyle bicycle riders, Frank Najera and Reid Shires. I had a really good time and I think they should have one every year, said Ieri Dallman, senior. Student Council s onsored the tail ate party and sold over one hundred tickets. The party was helld before the football game and afterwards they went to the game to cheer the team on. f'It's a good thing for kids to do. It really raised school spirit and kids seem to have fun doing it. It would be a good tradition for Cortez to have, said Ms. lor- dan Student Coucil Sponsor. V
