As 2:30 rolled around and students started to squirm in their seats more than usual, it was very easy to realize that Friday had finally come. Before heading to their cars, most students stopped in the mall area to discuss the evening ' s plans vyith friends and to decide where everyone was going to meet to begin the most entertain- ing night of the weekend. During the first few months of the year, most students spent their Friday nights cheering on the ever so popular Patriot foot- ball team. When Basketball season came around some students found themselves spending the evening in the school ' s gym. If students weren ' t interested in basketball or other various sports that went on dur- ing the year, they found themselves out with friends just spending time together. Whether it was Skyfeathers, a party, out on a date with a social friend, doing mischievous deeds, walking on the beach, or spend- ing the night on the job, most students found that Friday night was definitely not the night to sit at home and watch T.V. Before beginning their adventurous Friday night, juniors Billy Blue, Jason Goulding, Rob Kay and Matt Hamilton stop by Albertsons to purchase their props. Gathering books for weekend homework, these students rush to begin their Friday night. Before the day was even over, junior Sheila Kern and senior, Bobby Sparkman already had their Friday night planned. 20 FRIDAYS

Students helping students Throughout the past nine years, a variety of clubs have evolved and dispersed, without much notice but starting this year one particular organization was able to get students not only in- volved but thinking. This organization is called SADD, Students Against Drunk Driving. SADD is not only in Pinellas Park, it is in schools all around the nation. Mrs. Corbett who was the sponsor of the new club stated her explanation of why she ' s become involved, kids are par- tying too much, it is a serious problem. SADD was a nonprofit organization that met periodical- ly to plan projects and activities that made students more aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. To help promote the cause, SADD had an assembly with a guest speaker from the Tampa Bay Bandits Football Team. SADD also wanted to plan activities where students learned about the organization and had fun at the same time. Students were not the only ones being exposed to SADD. There w(;re comnitM-cials on na- tional television depicting tl devastating results of drinkii and driving. Students becan more responsible for their actioi and for the first time they we thinking before they drank, ar tried to avoid letting friem drink and drive.
