Friday Night Brings Out Highland’s Best Countdown Starts Monday A lthough it’s not Thanks- giving, Christmas, or Spring Break, it is the week- end and the ultimate vaca- tion. Friday starts it off, and it’s a time for rest, football, fun, and best of all, dances. Most students start the countdown as early as Mon- day. They feel they can hard- ly make it through the week without looking a few days in advance to the Friday night activities. That night we gather our friends, go to the games, at- tend the dance, and perhaps go out to eat. Even though we may be with the same friends as we are during the week and may not be doing anything spectacular, the fact that it’s Friday makes the ordinary events seem more relaxed and enjoyable. This is not the night to be a recluse in one’s room. This is a night for sur- prises, friendships, cheers, and having a great time. Fri- day is the ultimate night . . . ★ Violet Bogacz Whether they be formal or infor- mal, dances always prove to be an exciting event.

It was as close to Paradise as possible, and well worth the effort. ★ Holly Fentress ★ Crissy Azar Mike McCIay and Laura McDonald enjoy refreshments while 1985 Prom Court included Tom Puntillo, Regina Plesha, Jim Mayberry, Jill Britton, King — Dave Powell, Queen — Kelly Skertich, Ron Swart, Chris Nicholls, Jeff Wolen- dowski, Cricket Reynolds.
