rreshmen Amy Smith and Katie Olstad eat lunch together every day. They are lucky that they have the same lunch. Many friends don't have lunch together and end up making new friends to sit with. Friends in the true sense are Sophomores Dan Kuglin and Gary Norman. These guys still have two years of school left. Hopefully their friendship will continue during their Junior and Senior years. Kirk Woelffer is my best friend, because when im feeling sad, he cheers me up with a ballad. ■ Juniors, Darren Poikonnen and Dave Weeks Junior Ingrid Japs and Senior Andy Groth will have to say goodbye at the end of this year as Andy will graduate. Ingrid will probably have large phone bills to show for it.

FREEdOM even for a little while sends students packing. Students at Mound Westonka receive two school vacations each year, aside from summer vacation. Two weeks in the winter and one week in the spring are devoted strictly to rest and relaxation. Winter vacation is usually spent with family. Popular places are Grandma's house and the aunt nobody likes. This relative visiting only lasts for about three days and the rest of the time is free for better things. Other places could be skiing in Colorado or swimming in the Bahamas. Sping break is made for the students. Parents don't have a spring vacation from work so it's hard to go relative visiting. Dam! Students usually plan far in advance for this wonderful week of play. The most popular places of unsupervised vacation- ing are Florida and Mexico. Those students who can't afford to go farther than Ridgedale stay home and go to a tanning booth. They also rake in the dough by putting in extra hours at their jobs. This might not be quite as extravagant as going to Mazatlan but, at least, it's a break from school. Of course, the Mound Westonka school calendar sees more than just winter and spring vacations. Mound has its two day and one day vacations jsut as well. For example, M.E.A. weekend in Octoboer means no school Thursday and Friday, which means a really short week. Students, especially seniors, enjoy these short weeks because no composition assignment will be made. HANGIN' LOOSE.
