The thrill of a weekend, the agony of a Monday morning is an experience from MUNDANE I t has been described as being terrible, depressing and “ugh”. What is this torturous event? Going to the doctor or dentist? No, it’s just Monday morning. How does a student survive this test of strength. True grit,” said Tina Travis. Even teachers notice a change in their students’ attitudes. “My classes seem a little more relaxed at the beginning of the week,” said Mr. Hess. Even though many students feel that they’ve reached the peek of boredom on Monday, they discover that Fridays seem to be even long¬ er. Picture this scene. It ' s tenth peri¬ od, and you’re listening to your Al¬ gebra teacher. Your mind is a hundred miles away dreaming of the fun that you’re going to have this weekend. For most students, Friday is sup¬ posed to be a day of fun, relief, and excitement, not a day of reading, writing, and arithmetic. One student, Cindy Shell, de¬ scribed her typical Friday, I count the minutes till 3:30.” But by the end of the day, there is no mistaking the excitement in the air.

N ightmare at LHS Ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties came to haunt the Halloween Dance I t was a menacing, dark, cool night—an evening filled with mystery and danger as all the ghosts andgoblinsgatheredin the darkness for the second annual Devil ' s Halloween Dance. During this horrifying dance, sponsored by the National Honor Society, guests found themselves dancing with a bloodthirsty vampire or a venomous witch. Adding to the frightful atmo¬ sphere, Mrs. Riggle read fortunes and a VCR played horror movies all evening. To provide the beastly and unique characters with entertainment, NHS sponsored a costume contest. How¬ ever, there was a controversy over this year’s contest winners. The dance was pretty good, but the costume judging wasn’t. The costume that won most original this year was worn by someone else and got an award last year,” said junior Amanda Mitchell. Prizes were given for the follow¬ ing categories: Best Couple, Scar¬ iest, Most Original and Best Over- All Costume. These winners received a special trick-or-treat surprise of $10.00. Even with the disappointment of the judge’s decisions, the students still managed to enjoy a thoroughly blood-curdling night.
