Feb. 14, Valentine's Day, is a very special day when many things begin to happen. Every year, each girl is given a paper heart to pin on for the Mr. Irresistible contest. She must try to keep from talking to any guy no matter how hard he tries to get her to talk. By the end of the day, only a few of the girls still had their hearts. The idea behind this is that the guy with the most hearts per grade level is chosen lvlr. Irresistible. The win- ners of this year's contest were Mason Granade for the senior class, Pat lvlcLemore for the junior class, Peter Martin for the sophomore class, and Brain Archer for the freshman class. Along with the lvlr. Irresistible contest, the Journalism Department was taking Valentine's Day pictures in the Commons Feb. 8 and 9 for S3. You could get your picture taken alone or with your sweetie or with a group of friends. As usual, by lunch time the entire cafeteria looked as if it was the back of a florist's shop. On every table roses and other assorted flowers could be seen as the guys remembered their sweethearts on Valentine's Day. Feb. 13 the sophomore class sponsored the 2nd Annual Valen- tine's Day Dance. At the dance each class selected a Valentine Sweetheart. The winners of this year's competit'on were Leigh Gilbreith for the freshmen, Kim Wagenfuer for the sophomores, Gayle McAteer for the juniors, and Sherie Buchanan for the seniors. H9 E 1 3 ff

A A beautiful sight, the back end of a school bus, signifies the end of the school week and the onslaught of. . . THE WEEKEND. Seniors Bev Nalley and Robin Robertson are caught up in a case of The Mondays as they conduct a Press Club meeting. Friday afternoon at 2:40 - Who needs to say more? And so begins another Monday morning. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines the word Friday as: Friday I fri'de nz the sixth day of the week. For some it may be just that - the sixth day of the week. How dull! For others, Friday may just be another day. How boring! But for the average Taylor student, the word Friday is synonymous with pep rallies, shortened classes, foot- ball games and few tests. And of course, the magic word - parties!!! The average Taylor student does love to party. Give him a parking lot - he'll party in it. Show him a back lot or an empty field - he'll party in itg best of all, give him a house full of friends, a good stereo and no curfew - he'll party till he can't party any more. Taylor students could be seen at various locations on Friday nights. Some people hung out in the Safeway parking lot or in the back of Nottingham Country. Others could be seen cruising up and down Westheimer or parked in one of the many lots lining the busy street. Some ofthe older students haunted the local rock-and-roll clubs like Cardi's and the Fiocksy, but the younger crowd could be seen there too! And of course, someone could always be counted on to have a party almost every weekend. That's when the real fun began. imagine the whole varsity football team, a large number of drill team members and half the student body crammed into one medium sized house. Add one loud stereo blasting ACIDC. You've got your typical THS Friday night gathering. Come Saturday morning, most students burrowed deep under their pillows, avoiding sunlight, breakfast, and conversation. After all, this is the weekend! They'd emerge about five in the afternoon, take a shower and head out the door yelling, . . Mom, l'Il be home at one or so . .
