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

Behold the mighty athlete! He springs forth from pain, blood, and Qmost of allj sweat. Training, straining and hopefully obtaining that sought after goal: VICTO- RY! ! ! Whether the athlete be a he or a she, you can bet training is the least favorite part of the sport. Training, conditioning the body for the final event , is often long, arduous and very boring . Lifting weights and running stairs, not to mention basic drills, can be painful! But is there anything so revitaliz- ing as scoring for the first time , breaking a tie , or saving the game? Nothing feels as good as honest exhaustion after a hard practice, in which ou learned something. Nor is there a feeling comparable to using new plays that work. No matter how much you hate the work, the rewards are exhilarating! 6 Student Life XR 5- The Varsity Pom Pons squad practices one of their unique and spirit rousing routines .
