For some, Fridays mean staying at school from 3:30 until game time. ,lust ask your nearest football player, band member, Tex-Anne, cheerleader, bellguard, or trainer. Football players had to be back up at school by 4:45, while other people involved with football could have to stay until game time.

We danced around and just acted Crazyf, Friday nights were not only football games to some, but a night to get out Catching a movie or playing miniatur- golf helped to pass the time.

Friday nights were an important par of everybody's week. They meant goin, out, whether it was after going to footba games or just going out. For all, it mea blowing off a little steam, having a nig to relax and not worrying about tht English paper due Wednesday. Friday meant worrying about only one thing getting home by curfew.
