Everyone anticipated the weekends, right? Of course they did. After all, they were out of school which meant no teachers, no dress code, no homework, well maybe homework. But besides that, why wouldn't they look for- ward to them? However, week after week many students were faced with the recurring dilemma of what were they going to do this Friday? Some students stuck to the ol' cruising Cooper, while others went to parties. Cruis- ing Cooper con be fun, but you can get very annoyed by the cops, said sophomore Tony Thompson. But when Cooper got blocked off, and the parties 3 GJ? FRIDAY NIGHTS .sjiieefsitsg fire gvirif got busted Cfor some unknown reasons, of coutsej what was there to do? Go home? Of course not. That was where school activities stepped in. The Journalism Department, along with the National Honor Society, held o fund raiser, which not only roised money for their clubs, but also pro- vided students with something to do and an excuse to stay out late. Their solution to the Friday night dilemmo was a midnight movie. On Fridoy, Oct. 3, Sam students squeezed, squished, wriggled, and crommed themselves into the Forum 803 theater to watch the ever popular Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The movie was 0 great success. The Student Congress also helped out students with their Friday night dilemma by hav- ing dances. Senior Randy Cox was a guest DJ at one of the dances held on Friday nights after the football and basket- ball games, These dances gave people the opportunity to listen to all kinds of music and everyone seemed to have a greattime. The date Oct. 31 speaks for itself, but it also happened to be on a Friday. The halls were filled with Sam students who had transformed from ordinary students to anything ranging from nerds to big, furry 7 f 1 ff- it Q ., 5 -' , 5 ' sk dv 'Y xl' l I 'P 1 'N ' 1 x A, ,, W.

The wind was cold CBurrrj, the sky was gray COooo!j, and the leaves were off the trees CAhhhj. Winter had finally rolled around. Winter was a time for many things Christmas, the New Year, and yes, snow. Unfortunately, living in Texas, snow did not usually come down this far. In other words, our Decembers were usuallygreen. Kind of depress- ing, huh? Well this year we got a surprise - it snowed! 'lflknfef FROLICKING FUN Jfeep fire Spirit Waving Sam was a picture in white. Snowball fights took place in the parking lot, the courtyard, and local restaurants. You had to duck in the courtyard to avoid getting hit with a snowball, said senior Valerie Frozor. Winters in Texas are so con- fusing. It really seemed to con- fuse the administration, who could never seem to get the heating and air conditioning right. One day it was cold in- side so the next day everyone dressed warm, but, of course, the next day it was hot inside and everyone almost smothered! The weather was the some way. lt snowed two weeks before Christmas, then three months later, it snowed again! The main problem with snow in Texas was that it never seemed to last over 24 hours, and if the snow lasted even that long, we were lucky. Soon after the fun began. Stocking caps, fTlll'TeflS, coats and boots were donned in preparation to venture into thd frozen north. Kids ran out of their houses ta build their versions of . . .
