Those fabulous 65 ¥2 hours JUNIOR GRACE HAN spends a Saturday afternoon browsing through the racks of clothes at Smith and Welton in Coliseum Mall. “SAILOR CATCHES DANGEROUS WEREWOLF.” Seniors Lee-Ann Smith and Kristin Donoghue enjoy themselves at a traditional Halloween party. T he 651 2 hours between 2:45 Friday afternoon to 8:15 Monday morning were planned and an¬ ticipated throughout the weeks of school by seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike. The word “weekend” conjured up memories of unforgettable parties, four-star movies, and exciting college trips. All of the classes and their notorious weekenders found interest¬ ing and oftimes “illegal” activities to fill their Friday and Saturday nights. When no parties could be found, we fell to haunting Buckroe and Grandview beaches, Gus’s parking lot, the “Spot” off Rip Rap Road, and Gosnold’s Hope Park. Visiting siblings or friends at colleges provided us with an interest¬ ing, exciting taste of college life. Va. Tech, UVA, and JMU, along with the majority of other Virginia colleges, were graced with our eager faces almost weekly. Movies were also a great distrac¬ tion from the hustle and bustle of READY FOR A SHOWER? The Flume is one of the many rides at Busch Gardens that makes for weekend fun when warm weather arrives. weekly school work. James Bond’s new film “Never Say Never Again,” “Terms of Endearment,” “Hotdog,” “Christine,” “The Right Stuff,” and other movies provided us with great entertainment. During the sports seasons, many Friday and Saturday nights were spent cheering our teams to victory. After a game at Darling Stadium, or in our gym, dances sponsored by the Junior and Sophomore Classes, cheerleaders, or other clubs were special occasions. The most memorable weekends were those filled with parties. Out of town parents, holidays, or any other excuse we could think of were just cause for celebration. Although the morning after was filled with cleaning up the wreckage, our parties were well worth the trouble. Two weekends that will always be remembered were April 14 and May 24. These were the long awaited Junior Ring Dance and Senior Prom weekends. Ah, weekends! What would high school have been like without them? WHEN SHE IS NOT TEACHING SAILING, junior Laura Reed likes to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon lounging in her Sunfish. Weekends 25

Wisdom, wit from Weef W eef! Sounds like a word from another language, but it is really artist Keith Turner’s pen name. Just who is Keith Turner? This 17-year-old senior was usual¬ ly quiet until he got pen and paper in hand. That is when he could get radically outspoken, spurring letters- to-the-editor written in protest of a flaming British flag. In doing illustrations for the paper and drawing cartoons to amuse friends, Keith rarely had a day go by without someone saying, “Draw me a picture!” Students agreed that Turner’s wit was often right on target and his perception of people and the world around us was almost brutally accur¬ ate. “His cartoons are really good and really add something to the paper,” said senior Kathy Moore. Sophomore J. R. Lippus agreed and added, “He should continue as a cartoonist for a future in newspaper.” That advice fit in well with Turner’s future plans for he would like to “be a political cartoonist, or something like that.” He received plenty of practice while doing pastel drawings at Busch Gardens Theme Park, where he was also trained in doing caricatures. Accepted to James Madison University, he planned a major in Liberal Arts in order to “gain insight into the aspects of human life.” ARTISTE EXTRAORDINAIRE, Keith “Weef’ Turner spends another fifth period at the drawing board. 26 Weef
