It is the end of studying and the beginning of the weekend Teachers may try to destroy our festive mood by giving us tests or homework. While this may destroy our grade, our Friday spirit will stay intact. On Fridays, there is a breath of fresh air in DHS, Everyone smiles knowingly. Nobody gets dressed up. it is like an unwntten lav, that Friday is trashout day. When the bell rings at 3:00 to let school out. there ' s a mad rush to the door, not like on other days when peo- ple just mill around until the tutorial bell rings. People do stop and chat in the parking lot, mostly to confirm their weekend plans and last minute parties, but by 3;05 the parking lot is cleared. mnm ' ■•Thank Goodness .fs Friday thinks Senior Kenneth Moulder as he heads oti lor a great weekend Hearing the 3:00 bell ring brings out the festive mood in all DHS students Student Life i9

Mondays ■ ■ ■ Mondays. Why does everything seem to go wrong on Mon- days? Your alarnn clock, which has been with you since seventh grade, suddenly decides to kick the bucket. It would not dare do that on a Friday. So when you do wake up, with about ten minutes to get ready for school, you panic. You pro- ceed to make yoursell recognizable to all that know you. Your eyes are finally starting to open. You look down at your clock and see that you are already five minutes late. You get dressed and have to spend another five minutes looking for your keys Halfway to school, you realize you have forgotten your books At about the same time, you realize that your eyes are closed No matter how early you leave for school, you will be tardy Finally you make it to school, but now you have the job of find- ing a good parking place. Good luck! You sprint about halfway to class, twisting your ankle. Next you try to sneak into class behind the teacher, sliding into your desk, nonchalantly Of course, you get caught. It is a Monday.

On Top of the World Senior class rings are signs that the senior year is arriving Senior pictures are signs that the senior year is at hand Th. gratifying feeling of putting on the graduation cap and gown could not be overlooked last summer. For the first time, the 1985 graduating class was thought of as seniors. The feeling was like being on top of the world. It was like we now rule the school. Patti Spillane. senior, said. ■The first lime I felt like a senior was when I put on the cap and gown. Glenn Modlin. senior, said. The process of photographing the senior class took three days During those three days, talk of the up coming year bounded off the Cosmetology room ' s walls. Words like Prom. Graduation. Homecoming. and College were common. The 1985 graduating class now had the right to talk about those things. Each experience during the next year was to be stamped with the approval fvly senior year. The momentum could not be stopped — or could it? Curiosity slowed down the picture taking process a few times. A red button on the wall — what could be more mysterious? The curiosity of some members of the senior class led to pushing it. Each time the power was cut off from the room. What was supposed to take fifteen minutes took thirty minutes to an hour. The memories of those three summer days in 1984 will decorate mantles and walls for years to come. Shocked with the idea of becoming a senior.
