“I don’t know what I’d do without them.” . . . Melissa Neary (sr.) ‘‘I don’t do weekdays.” . . . Amy Sheehan (jr.) “They are the best part of the week.” . . . Ken Morges- ter (sr.) “Without weekends, the weekdays wouldn’t seem so bad.” . . . Chris Thomas (sr.) “Weekends are sure better than weekdays.” . . . Kelly Chils (jr.) Students enjoy moving to the music at the first Friday night Shades dance of the season. Weekly Vacations W eekends are a time for hard work and heavy studying — right? Yeah Right! For most of us, the weekends are a time for throw¬ ing aside the books, at least until Sunday night. Weekends are a time for us to work, sleep, and most of all, play and enjoy. We have soccer games, cross coun¬ try meets, hockey games, and oh those football games! Some of us have jobs and make some money, do our homework, or just let loose and party all week¬ end! TGIF has got to be the mot¬ to of every kid attending high school. I don’t know what we’d do without our two-day vacation of the week! After slaving over our books all week, studying and writing papers, until our minds and bodies have practically with¬ ered away; we deserve these two magical days! Things like movies, shopping, college visits, babysitting, and sleep play a major role in our weekends. Some people do nice quiet things like crossword puz¬ zles, horseback riding, reading, or cooking. Well no matter what we do on weekends, we do something worthwhile for ourselves. From partying till we drop, to work, quiet time, or sleep, we all do our own thing and we thorough¬ ly enjoy it! Just take a look at weekends and you know they’ve got to be something really special to make another day look so dreadful — MONDAY! .. ■

Steven Schwabe, a colorful se¬ nior, exhibits his personality on Hats and Shades Day of Spirit Week. “It was fun and a time to laugh at one another.” . . . Donna Jacobsen (sr) “It added spice to the school.” . . . Beth Rittenband (sr) “Its not my fault I didn’t have the right clothes.” . . . Kevin Thomas (sr) “It gave everybody a chance to be different.” .. . . Ellen Levintan (sr) “For one week students didn’t care what they wore and looked like.” . .. Heather Elliott (sr) Show Your True Colors P ut on those hats, slide on your shades, it’s Spirit Week at South Windsor High School! Oh, of course we had a Hat and Shades Day. But that was just the beginning of it all. There was a Hawaiian Day and, oh boy, a Clash Day! Hat and Shades Day bright¬ ened up our Monday morning blahs. There were a variety of different hats: baseball hats, hard hats, sombreros, fun hats, small hats, colorful hats and even cowboy hats. Hawaiian Day gave us all sum¬ mertime blues from flowered shirts to Jam shorts and shades too. The spirits were high when all the classes participated and the turnout was excellent! Clash day was the best! The colors were atrocious! Paisleys with stripes and huge striped ties and zoot suits made it unbelievable! Maroon and gold day ended our Spirit Week and many peo¬ ple dressed for the occasion showing their “true colors”. A pep rally at the end of the day brought together all the classes and we all proved just how much spirit we have. Seniors, of course, came in first place for spirit. The class of ’89 following close behind, took second. Dan¬ ny Sasso, class of ’87, won the numerous number of jelly beans in the jelly bean contest which was sponsored by the seniors for Leukemia. So what’s pink and yellow, maroon and gold, wearing sun¬ glasses and having a Hawaiian attitude? The students at South Windsor High School. introduction “Spirit week really worked.” . . .
