During a get-away weekend at Chain-O-Lakes State Park, Senior Kraig Vondran tries to hook a big one. Going to the lake was a favorite activity of many students. After five grueling days, the weekend is more than welcome two days of rest from school. It ' s a chance to get away from the pressures of school, and to have fun with friends, and forget, for two days, the teachers, homework, and tests. — Debbie Pucher Weekends are a good time for friends to get together.

Looking to the Weekend Unhappy students complain, If only they were a little longer! After a rough weekend in Florida during Christ- mas vacation, sophomore Jack Gerardot relaxes in a wheelchair while waiting for the next flight to Fort Wayne. It was Friday! Every NHHS student tensely anticipated the final bell. At long last the 3:05 bell rang, and swarms of students rushed to the school exits. THE WEEKEND HAD FINALLY COME!! The students of New Haven High School found that they had many dif- ferent activities to keep them busy dur- ing the weekend. For example, many students attended different sporting events or watched them on T.V. Soph- omore Bob Doehrman commented, I look forward to basketball games and then coming home to watch wres- tling. Pizza Hut was a popular place to hang out, socialize, and eat after ball games. Crowds of noisy teenagers bombarded the small restaurant regularly on Friday nights. Sophomore Caron Diehl stated, I go to Pizza Hut to be with my friends and celebrate our victories! Students kept themselves occupied in many other ways also. They danced at Rock America, went to movies, and roamed the malls. Other favorite pas- times were shopping, dating, sleeping in, and going crazy with friends. Even though fun times dominated the weekends, students had to attend to unpleasant chores also. Parents forced their offspring to do household tasks and lawn work. Some students took jobs to earn their spending mon- ey. Senior Brad Osborn, who worked for the New Haven Park Board and for Osborn Painting, Inc., said, The reason I work is so I can save money for col- lege. While some students hated absolute- ly nothing about their weekends, oth- ers found fault with them. Sophomore Mike Riehm commented, I hate hav- ing to worry about going to school on Monday. That way, I can have fun dur- ing the weekend. Junior Wade Fromhoit summed up most people ' s feelings by declaring, What I hate about the weekend is that it ' s only two days long! — Kaylene Riemen WHAT??!! Studying over the weekend??! Junior Pam Scheiman studies hard to make the grade as she enjoys (?) the day at Chain-O-Lakes State Park. Weekends 20 D As they prepare to leave school for a big week- 9- end, sophomores J.R.

Excitement is in the air Students had fun in the sun during Spring Break but the hot spot for Spring Break seemed to be the Bahamas. They were cheaper then Florida and this year the Bahamas provided much better weath- er than Florida. I had a great time in Nassau Bahamas, stated senior Dave Drake, The weather was excellent, and I was able to gamble away my mon- ey at the casino. I am definitely going back next year. A lot of time and effort went into planning spring break. It was a time to get away from all the worries and trou- bles a person had. Even though it only lasted a week, the short vacation was enough to encourage us to hang in there uniti summer. Having a good time is one of the most important things in life. Many high school activities provided memo- ries of good times that last forever. One of the most iooked-forward to times during the school year was spring break. Going south was one event many stu- dents saved their money for through- out the year. Although it was not sunny all the time, the people who went had a fantastic time. The trip to the border state of Mexico was very exciting though the weather would not relieve for a sunny day. stated junior Kelly Martin. Every Spring Break, students told about the long-awaited trip to Florida, — Cheryl Beck Marco Island was one of the various spots that seniors visited during spring Break. Seniors Curt Johnson and Eric Hall enjoy the sunshine at this popular resort. While touring downtown Nassau, Baha- mas, senior Dave Drake takes time to pose near a monument of Nassau ' s first govern- ment official. 3 Spring Break 22 4C
