Thank God For Fridays There you are in class and you don't ever mind. You and your friends are getting rowdy. There's so much to look forward to: the band at lunch, the game after school, the party at night, and being able to sleep in. At last the freedom of the weekend is about to happen. In every class the students are noisy and excited. No one pays attention to the teacher and everyone shouts and laughs. Some students cut class, some just leave early. Everyone anticipates the last bell. And when it finally rings, it's never loud enough. But it's the relief we've all waited for for five long days. Thank God it's Friday!

Have you ever wondered where people hang out at Tam? There are many different places, but only five were popular: the front parking lot, side steps, Mead Theatre, senior bench, and the back parking lot. The front parking lot includes the front lawn, the faculty parking lot, and the boy's gym. It is the most populated area at Tam. One of the front lotters described it as where the mellow partiers are, but they have their act together. She said, They're rowdy, but decent people. No vandalism or goes on out there. They are the rock and rollers of Tam High. Generally they are good students. The side steps is a very private place at Tam. The trees hide everything that goes on there. It is a designated smoking area, so many who populate it smoke. One front lotter said, Sometimes one of the front lotters goes over there to have a cigarette, but we usually do not hang out there. The majority of people in Mead Theater this year were also front-lotters having a cigarette. It was also a popular area for hacky-sack and idle sunning. Senior bench, on the other hand, was full of A and B students, many of them preppies. The majority of senior bench do not cut and are very protective of their bench. The back parking lot is behind the well-known student center. It was where all the students were to park their cars, but some of the students were afraid to do so, because of the questionable reputation of the back parking lot. The back lot was made up of greaser guys and their hot rod cars or cowboys and their trucks. You could say the back lot was still back in the fifties, with students cruising the drag and having fun. In between the fun there was still time for work, though. Many of the back lotters had high GPA's and were planning on college. The majority worked before they played.
