tilFriday S Saturday 5 i Worth the wait riday and Saturday - Websters Dic- tionary defines them as the sixth and seventh days of the week, but as far as high school students were concerned, these long awaited days were a two night chance to live it up. As the station wagon cautiously pulled out of the driveway and vanished around the corner, a black Trans-Am whipped in, stopping inches from the garage door. lt was soon followed by a fleet of sports cars crammed with kids. The occasion? - A party. The instant the weekend hit, students were transformed into party animals and were out combing the streets for the night's festivities. How was a party spot- ted, you ask? lf no last minute verbal in- vitation was extended anything that resembleld a used car lot in a residential area and was accompanied by deafening- ly loud music was usually a pretty reliable indicator. No party? No problem. The crowd of psyched up teenagers simply moved from a subdivision to the Summit for the latest rock concert. Another interesting weekend adventure Qand if nothing else a good laughj was provided for those brave enough to cruise down Westheimer to ex- perience one of the cultural aspects of Houston. Those people who considered these side trips relatively time consuming stuck to the conservative good times of Willowbrook Mall, Burger King, Mr. Ciatti's, and the nearest drive-in theater. The latest movie or a foot tiring shopping expedition followed by a solid hour of in- dulging in fast food constituted a normal weekend schedule. Perhaps Webster's definition was more accurate, but any Klein student would agree that theirs was significantly more enjoyable. Mark Kupec victimizes an unsuspecting bush. Photo by Pascal Villiger.

Sunday 8 Monday When the weekends over undays, in most households, begin with essentially the same routine. Most families arise to attend church. Afterwards, students usually settle down to coordinate a relaxing, calm day. Sundays are often described as the day of thought. Students reminisce over the past week's accomplishments while plans for the next week are rapidly filling their heads. Many students head to the park on sunny Sundays. Games of football, baseball, and frisbee are enjoyed by some, while others can be seen doing homework in the shade of many trees. Friends usually gather at the park to gain exercise as well as educate minds. For students who overlooked tasks during the week, Sundays are usually reserved for taking care of these duties. Catching up on sleep, cleaning and washing can all be done on Sundays. Football games on television are also a popular afternoon pastime on Sundays. Tak- ing advantage of the matinee prices, some students attend movies during the afternoon. Early evening is spent completing homework that is due on Monday. Phone con- versations concerning the past weekend's ac- tivities last late into the evening. Yea!! Yuck!! Different attitudes fill the heads of students concerning Mondays. Some feel Monday is the start of a beautiful week. On the other hand, most feel that Monday is always the worst day of the week. lf logic did not prove it wrong, students would swear there were more hours in a Monday than in any other of the week days. One of the main com- plaints about Monday is that it is too long till the weekend. On Mondays, nothing ever seems to go right. Over the weekend nobody ever gets enough sleep, so individual naps are at- tempted during class. Homework that was forgotten is due with the rest of the class' work. Students attend school on Mondays with many different attitudes. Some are filled with life each morning ready to accomplish new learning experiences. Other students do not take such a vivid look at school. These students would rather sleep through such rug- ged days. Whatever the case, students are seen every Monday morning at 7:20 filing into the halls and enjoying the company of their friends. 20 Sunday 5 Monday ,t SW. 'x'a-.
