Little Bit For Saturday aftemoon . EV O Jan Bamdt, Sue Hanson, and Dan Kanitz are relaxing at Southridge on a Students attend a matinee performance at the Pabst Theater. 4 Student Life What really is a weekend used for? Why do we have them? Dee Adler was asked to respond to these questions. This was her re- sponse . 1 like to break away and get my thoughts together and en- joy my free time . You feel re- lieved when it comes because you're not at school and you can share this time off with someone , One thing is for sure, school really makes you appreciate what free time we get for ourselves. ' ' MUSIC-Dan Kanitz feels its total relaxation.

DCQP th0u8hT5 'DY Julie Hanison- group of girls decided to study in a quiet, empty room, they found the bath- om to be the ideal place . 1 like them, because l never get enough time to finish all of my homework , stated junior, Kelly Salo about study halls. She holds the opinion of many students at Martin Luther who have to uti- lize their study hall. We often only consider the stu- dents' views on this subject. Teachers are also involved with our study halls. They convert their time and energy into supervision during one of their free periods. Mis, Shannon said, ' 'I think study 'halls are worthwhile, if a student uses the time wisely. Two-thirds of the students are glad that the study halls are kept quiet so they can use the time to their best ad- vantage. ' ' Student Life 3

To Steve Dehnke, Beth Stach and Sheri Stachg food is a large part of a weekend . The indoor sports, such as pool, are very popular for entertain- ment. The best part of a weekend is no school. Students can't wait to get home . Friday: 2:59.56 p.m., 2:s9.s7, 2:59.58, 2:59.59 szooa ! ss ls there life after school? You bet there is! The Indians have been let loose . Pupils who've sat in classes all day with glazed eyes come to life and find a voice ! The decibel level in a hall is incredible . After an exhausting week in school, adrenalin begins to pump again for both students and teach- ers. 1t's amazing how quickly a locker can be opened, it contents evaluated, chosen, and slammed. But the true achievement for any given Friday aftemoon is the speed with which the car can be reached, gotten into, started and departed in! Three minutes or less is considered competitive . For teachers, around a quarter of an hour is good . Activities in a random weekend can range from work, to sporting events, to housecleaning for your mother. It's a challenge to see how much more tired one can be at the end of a weekend than at the beginning. Those two days that end and begin the week often require more planning than a presidential dinner for 200. Parents also enter into the chore- ography of a weekend. Their care, feeding and softening re- quires work and dedication. Thinking up new ways to get out of the house is tough. Parents are not dumb, therefore, new and in- novative explanations must be found. This can be difficultg however, it can be done with a little imagination. Weekends: they're glorious, con- fusing, fun and absolutely, posi- tively necessary for the sanity of the student body. Student Life 5
