pare time-although it was usually considered a freak of nature, it did occur every now and then in a student's life. When kids were asked, What did you do on the weekends and with your spare time? one resounding answer came back-PARTY! The three major ingredients for these common celebrations were fun, friends and food. Not every student partied in his spare time. Some had interesting hobbies . julie Pierce studied, Ann Miller painted, Debbie Harris played computer games, Scott Bray slept, Carter Brown chased women and Beth Waters asked, What spare time? Unlike kids of five or ten years ago, most people found that they really didn't have a hangout. A number of students did mention Mazzio's as an after the game place to go.

Speeding down the final stretch isome called it Hinson Roadl at 90 mph,you thought that if you lived through this it would never happen again. When you pulled into the parking lot at 50 mph, losing the bottom half of your car on the speedbreaker , you had to swerve sharply to the left to avoid the spaceless sopho- mores and freshmen who had lined the entrance and exit. Slowing down to 30 mph, you proceeded through the lot, dodging bumpers and fenders or mothers who were in a rush to get home. Running through the courtyard, you vaulted over picnic tables and tried to avoid Carter Brown, who wouldn't move for anyone. It was almost like playing Frogger, except you were the frog. Once in the building you had to avoid stepping on Miss Hamilton in the crowd. Considering all of this, it was a miracle if you made it on time. Homeroom was always a panic as youtried to cramfor first period. Sophomore Chris Franzetti said, We should have a longer homeroom so we could do our homework. You either had to fill out surveys, vote on obscure topics or find a substitute for a belt. Da Breaks 12.Student Life
