Many teenagers started their weekends at home on the phone planning or confirming their evening's adven- ture. F r i d a y nights during football season found cars full of students and par- ents heading for t h e f o o t b a 1 l stadium.They waited in lines andfilledthe bleachers to watch th e M o u n t a i n View Toros strive for victory. After the game, either a celebration or a time for consolation was found at Mc Donalds. After a late night, students were given a chance for some long awaited sleep. Senior Chad McAllister said My weekends are nocturnal - I party all night and sleep all day. This was true for a lot of high school students. Even those who worked kept their school spirit alive by participat- ing in as many school activities as possible, such as, Toro Family Fest, Fall Fest, school dances and club activities. Saturdays were spent shop- ping, washing cars or getting ready for a date. The night may have con- sisted of just about anything and usu- ally did. Sophomore Brad Henderson said he and his friends did anything as long as they had funlv Junior Shelley Franzmeier said she and her friends enjoyed Cn1isin' by Dick's Drive-In or sneaking into after hours at Devil Housef' Senior Amy Franco said her favorite thing to do was go to the 1 sexi, .s- movies. Sundays were a time for rest in many cases. It was a time to catch up on sleep or catch up on homework. Also, there were times for family get togethers. There were days when a student could see their parents, brothers, and sisters who they hadn't really talked to all week . They were times to catch up on all of the happenings that one might have missed in the past week, and a day to find out if he was grounded for the next week because of missing his curfews over the weekend. In many cases a weekend was filled with family, friends, laughter and good times. They were memories of part of a student's high school years that should be cherished and never for- gotten, for they cannot be replaced.

Q ames Cheering, shouting, and laugh- ing could be heard throughout the stands at Mountain View during the home sporting events. S t u d e n t s came out to sup- port many events such as basketball, football, badmin- ton, baseball, ten- nis, track, swim- ming and diving. Players, students Buifcf spirit and faculty got rowdy and psy- ched up for the games. When competing, team mem- bers felt more at ease in their own .1- Sharp dressed men -- Varsity football players David Schlagel and Wilford Cardon show their team pride while dressed in their best.

Sophomore Trent Smith said, 'fl enjoy home games because you play on your own field and the crowds respond better and give you support in order to play your best. Before games, the players all wore the same shirts to school. Foot- ball and basketball team members all wore ties with dress shirts and slacks while the volleyball players wore the same printed shirts. The students also showed their spirit and excitement for the games by wearing red. Others showed spirit by painting their faces red and blue. Signs of every sort were abun- dant throughout the school, stands, and fields for the games. The signs pepped up the events with fun say- ings such as, g'Silly rabbits, football's for Toros, and 'gMutilate the Mus- tangsf' Some events at school weren't as widely supported by the student body. Team members played hard, but only a few parents and friends were there to cheer them on to a victorious win. Still these players worked to be able to compete with the other teams. No matter what event was at- tended, there was a feeling of great unity, school spirit and team pride.
