An Enduring Tradition started by a man named, Charles duc D'Orleans, who was impri- soned in the tower of London on Feb. 14, 1415. To pass the time he composed rhymed love letters which he sent to his wife. The idea caught on, and soon the French-and most Europeans-were ex- changing similar notes, decorating them with gilt paper, hearts, and lace, a practice that was brought to this country by early English Settlers. Some countries spent Valentines differently. During the middle ages young European women would place their names in a box, and young men would wear the name of his Valentine, or sweetheart on his sleeve for the year. What did Valentine Day mean to you? Did it mean love letters from a secret admirer, or could it have been a big red Walentines Day was traditionally lacy heart. Soph. Kelly Seibert summed it all up as, a time to be with the one you love. Gateway's Junior class decided to celebrate Valentines by sending carna- tions that were purchased by one person and sent to another person, to show their feelings on that special day. Friday night, February 22, student Government showed us how to celebrate Valentines day by having a sweetheart dance, which was successful even if it was after Valentine's day. Valentine's Day was a very romantic time for most of the Gateway students. There were cards, carnations from secret admireres, and little special things from special friends. But no matter how old Valentine's Day gets, it will always be full of love and caring. tt 1J Fr. Laura Beard and Soph. Rosy Hinton discuss the possibility of winning the candy. 2l Sophs.

Thank God lt's Friday! he weeks were long, the assignments were unending, and the 50 minutes in class seemed like hours. But then . . . Thank God it was Friday, Friday, Friday! The whole weekend was waiting with unknown experiences, waiting to be lived! Friday night dates, Saturday morning sleeping, a few hours work, Party Hardy Time, maybe church on Sunday, with a lazy afternoon of football games. Sr. Eric Haggerman, a wellknown partier of Gateway claims, The whole week was worth living for the weekends! And Soph. Ken Jensen commented on his weekend, I like to spend time on the slopes, spend time with my girlfriend, and spend some time resting. For the athletes and involved Olys, weekends mean practice, meetings, or field trips. lt seemed like some people could not get away from school like Jr. Bob Miller who was always there developing film for yearbook and working with overdue video deadlines. Drama students also spent many hours at school especially before a musical production. No matter how weekends were spent, they were terrific, and were a means of surviving through another the week. 1 U Jr. Joni Jaques is one of the many people who spends her weekends working. 23 One of the many sights after a weekend party. 3! Fr. Murray Awn boogies to the beat at an after game dance. 48 Weekends
