While waiting for a ride after school, Bridget String- fellow waits alone in front of the school. Students wait after school to make up tests, for play rehears¬ als, cheerleading practice, and many other reasons. During the five minute break between classes, Whitney Lewis takes time to relax and talk to friends, while Colon Smith tries to avoid the photogra¬ pher’s camera. The smoking lounge is a place to meet and talk to one’s friends. After a long weekend, Stephanie Avery finds it hard to stay awake in class on Monday morning. To some students classes on Monday are a way to catch up on sleep lost during the weekend before. After being caught by surprise in shop class, Gary Dowell gives a disapproving eye to the photogragher. Shop classes this year worked on rocking horses, during the first part of the year. 9

Looking like he is almost asleep, Kevin Brown studies in the library. Students can always be found in the library studying. NO CLOWNING AROUND ON MONDAYS TUESDAYS Hey, What’s your worst day of the week? In a Student Survey done by the Colonnade Staff, most students chose Mondays and Tuesdays as their worst days of the week. Senior Cathy Simms said she usually feels rough and sleepy on Mondays. Some stu¬ dents even fall asleep in class. The reason most people feel this way is because they’re not ready for the week to begin. Mondays and Tues¬ days have always been people’s least favorite days. People involved in band and drama have practices on these days. The Band practiced for the competition at James Madison University held on Saturday Octo¬ ber 30. The Drama Club rehearsed all fall for their fall play “The Curious Savage” which was per¬ formed on December 2-4. The Girls Basketball and Field Hockey played games on Tuesdays. With all these activities, students found that even if they weren’t ready, Mondays and Tuesdays came any¬ way. After the bell had rung, Jeff Burdette tries to finish a paper in English class.

Seniors found out that their senior year was not as bad as their Junior year. 8
