' The Best Part Of School f f I love to go dancing, party, and sleep late. What do you do on the weekend? When asked what they did on the weekends, many people’s responses were fairly common. Shopping was a popular weekend pastime for stu- dents. The most enjoyable part of shopping was just hanging out at the mall with a few friends. “I like to spend money,” said freshman Erica Orciuolo when asked what she liked so much about shopping. Although many responses were typical of what people do on weekends, some were out of the ordinary, like bird watching and taking walks on the beach. With all the school activities Hicksville has to offer, many students take the opportunity to join a club. Band is one of the activities that re- quires participation on weekends. “We’ve got practice on Saturdays and competitions on Sundays usually,” commented sophomore Andrew Dwork. Other unusual weekend activities according to Chris Henley are playing the popular Dungeons and Dragons role playing game, and jamming with Seniors Debbie DePompa and Kimberly Het- ner get psyched to toilet paper the varsity football players’ houses, Friday night, before the Syosset game.

The First Day of the Rest of the Week Waking up is only half the problem “Ring, ring — just five more minutes,” you exclaim as your alarm clock goes off in the morning! Waking up is only half the problem; how you’re going to get to school is the other. Many juniors and seniors drive to school in the morning which is just so convenient. “I take my ’66 Mustang, it’s my baby, my paradise,” exclaims Laura Catanzariti, a senior who is privileged with having a car to drive to school each day. Some students are not as privileged as Laura and therefore must walk to school. As senior Vinny Drew would say, “When I can’t get a ride, I hate walking in a foot of snow.” Walking to school is a very popular means of transportation for many high school students. When asked how she got to school, junior Giokazta Molina replied “Daddy”. Many students get driven to school and they “love the door to door service” exclaimed junior Glen Garbus. Transportation to school everyday is just one of the minor problems we face. Getting through the school day however, is another story! -Vivian Ibrahim Fi Monday Mornings
