TGIF Thank God It ' s Friday! 66 hhh . . . Friday. The best day of A the week. This is the day the stu- £ dents have been anticipating for - - since Sunday night. A normal Fri- day begins with a mad dash of telephone calling to confirm the plans of the night. As soon as that is underway, the dudes and gals hop into their Buggys or Hondas and take off! A typical night may be going to football game or hanging out at a friend ' s house. After a few hours of that the old hunger sets in, so they start out for the nearest fast food restaurant. After satisfy- ing their tummies, they usually meet a bunch of other people from school and plan out some other cool things to do. By the way, while all this is going on, they manage to harass the people that work there and destroy the restaurant! When all the com- motion settles down, they head out for the next expedition. Ooohh . . . Saturday. Shopping is the main event of the day. As well as sleeping, eat ing, working, or just partying! Believe it or not, 66.3% of Armstrong students have some kind of job. Some students enjoy working in department stores, grocer stores, or gas stations. It does not mattei where the job is as long as money is made. Now. let ' s talk about partying. Groups of people party in many different ways, but a party is a party! It takes away all the frustrations that built up during the past week. It ' s the only way to go! Ooohh . . . Sunday. Time for some stu- dents to go to church and some students to really sleep in ! Around 1 2:30 and 1 :00 p.m. many people decide to do lunch. That may be the most relaxing time anyone can have during the entire weekend. Then, when the night time settles in, some start to think about what is due in school tomorrow and some just ignore it and talk on the phone. Usually, the second choice is taken into consideration by many students. Well, re- member that what comes around goes around. Ughh . . . Monday. The worst day of the week. Ir is the most difficult day to be in school and stay up in class. One way to make things better is to think about what to do on the upcoming weekend! No more can be said. A usual hangout for cheap dudes. Carrie to work. Met OVER TO!

Morp • • A Date Without A Debt MORP, what kind of a name is that? Well, it has a hidden secret behind it, can you guess it? Times up. Morp is prom spelled backwards, and that ' s exactly what the dance was — backwards. As you all know prom is a formal dance in the spring where the guys have to spend mega-bucks to keep their dates happy. Morp on the other hand, is a very informal dance in the winter where virtually no money is spent. Since the dance was new this year, no one really knew what to expect. Strangely painted signs began to show up all around the school catching everyone ' s attention. Once people were aware of the up-coming event, guys and girls were encouraged to ask a date or just to go stag with a bunch of friends. Soon everybody had their plans arranged and the night of morp arrived. Some people chose to eat at cheap restaurants like McDon- alds or Wendys, while others decided to eat at home. Instead of dressing up for the dance, people came in a wide variety of clothing, mostly T-Shirts and shorts. For the music, Armstrong was privileged to have two RAHS student bands play at morp: Porpus Pie and Riteous Lute. The bands were a hit, and everybody had a great time. Food and drinks were provided free, although it disappeared pretty fast. Morp seemed to be enjoyed by all. Will it become a winter favorite? Top right: Girls just wanna have fun. Above: Glamour girls. Right: Best buds forever! 46
