Right. After the excitement of the weekend, it is hard to get enthused about the coming week. Far Right. A friendly game of cards starts the week out right for Mike Grubar, Steve Nord- vedt, and Glenn Shute. 2OfMonday Morning Blues Right. Returning with less than joy on their faces, band students come in for early Monday morning sectionals. 'Blahs' Dominate Cn Mondays Like the song goes, Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Monday morning gave stu- dents the blues Everyone experienced it. The Hblahsl' could describe it. There was no energy, no enthusiasm. Concentration in class was at its lowest on Mon- days. Some students felt Monday mornings more than others. Band sectionals rehearsed, and football players lifted weights every Monday morning. The Pomerettes begin the new week with a 6:30 a.m. practice. Everything seemed to go wrong on Mondays. Monday was the day you realized there was a test which you didn't study for. lt was the day you slept late and missed the bus, or slept in class and missed a homework assignment. lt was the day you wore smelly gym clothes because you forgot to take them home Friday. Why did Monday morning have the power to start the week so dreadfully? Maybe the memories from the great weekend before kept students from concentrating.

Tastebuds on 'Hold' til 4th I-Iour The halls came to life as the 11:40 bell rang, signifying the beginning of fourth hour, and for half of the stu- dents, that meant their lunch hour had arrived! Everyone went his own way, many seeking to satisfy their tastebuds, while others looked forward to just an hour of relaxation. Students who sought to quell their hunger might remain in the school, choosing from items offered in the cafeteria, Pirates Cove or Pirate Bak- ery, or venture outside into downtown Ottawa for their meal. Buck's Butcher Block and Deli was the most popular spot close to the school, while those who were less con- cerned with receiving a nutritious meal visited Baskin Robbins or the bakery to fill their needs. Those students with their own transportation dared the downtown traffic and travel to Res- taurant Row, where they had their choice of McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and l-lardies. Right. No job is finished until the paperwork is done, as Geri Klienhans and Julie Sullivan real- ize when, at the end of the hour all of the paper products from the new vending machines must be thrown out.
