In keeping with the theme, Somewhere Over the Rain- bow, the Senate had been busy decorating the main hall with the spirit chains which reflected the rainbow's many colors. Soon the school would be one big rainbow. As the spirit of the week gradually built, everyone was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Friday.

20 mornings New Da Awaits Everyone Rise and shine, are not necessarily the words students want to hear first thing in the morning. A hard night of partying and ac- tivities make getting up a pain. As the alarm clock goes off close to their aching heads, or as their mothers call obnoxiously from the doorway, arousing them from dreamless slumber or cutting off the best dream they have ever had, they realize what a hard day they have ahead of them. Stumbling out of bed, they head for the shower. The water forces them back into reality, and they try to decide what to wear. The girls hop out of the shower and plug in their hot rollers or curl- ing irons. Blow dryers are whipped out and put into action. Make up is applied to enhance their beauty. Then comes the hard decision of which shoes would match their shirts and which perfume would ap- peal most to the male senses. Boys shave off the roughage that seems to have appeared like magic during the night. Making up their minds as to which aftershave to wear, seems to take forever as they think about which girls they want to try to impress. Realizing the time, it's a mad rush to throw on clothes and hastily straighten their beds. Eating a quick bite of breakfast, or maybe grabbing a donut on the way out appeases their appetite so they can make it through the morning. Pulling into the parking lot, girls hastily fix their hair and guys put on their cool acts. Thus, begins another day in the lives of students everywhere. Wlshlng the nlght had not ended, Shirley Salinas and Cathlene Gentry find it hard to get up. Keeping his chln up, Alfred Perez shaves his night's beard before school. X. dps by
