Weekends As the infamous “Wicked Wanda” would say, It’s Fri-i-i-day!” And, of course, we can’t forget Garfield who “lives for Saturdays.” Weekends in Tell City are exactly what students live for. In fact, without week- ends, Tell City would, according to some students, be nothing but a ghost town. A few students were asked how they felt about their weekends. Rick Arnold, Grade 12, replied, Weekends, to me, are a necessity—I couldn’t do without them!” Danna Hosier, Grade 12, added, “I’d go crazy without them.” Some of the things which kept Tell City High School students occupied during the weekends were: dragging Main”, sitting at “the Pool”, and going to the movies, eating out, or attending athletic events and dances. Most of these activities were reserved for Saturdays. Sundays were for relaxing or playing football at the pool. They were also used to prepare for the next week of school when we lived for the weekend once more. Tracy Markham finds time during her busy weekend to give a dubious and embarrassed Angie Etienne a home perm. Tracie Brown enjoys her free time on the weekends by playing video games at the Arcade. The “Group” at the Pool are busy discussing their plans for the weekend. 10 WEEKENDS

After School? Students are involved in many different activities after school. Some of these activities are athletic, some are scholastic, and some involve a talent. Each after school activity requires a certain amount of commitment by all involved. Everyone who stays after school has a reason for doing so whether it is to win a game, meet a goal, or just to goof off. Dean Kellems, Grade 10, said, “I stay after school for wrestling practice to improve my wrestling ability so I’ll be able to perform at my best ability.” He, like a lot of other students, want to do their best and staying after school for practice helps. Said Eric Kleaving, Grade 10, “You have to be prepared or your competi- tion will leave you behind.” To be the best takes lots of practice and there’s no better time than after school. Some of the band students stayed late in preparation for the Solo and Ensemble Contest. Amy Goffinet, Grade 10, said, “I wanted to get first divisions on my ensembles so I thought after school practice would give us better chances.” Some band students stay after school just to help Mr. Gurney and or Mr. Reasoner. Jeff Dickenson, Grade 9, said, “I stay after school to catch up on new jokes, goof off, and try to bum a ride off of someone so I don’t have to walk home.” So ... there is life after school. Frank Miller and Matt Haller practice a scene from Heaven Can Wail on the stage of the Tell City High School Auditorium. The basketball team stays after school nearly every day during the sea- son. They practice long hours to be the best they can be. Matt Haller and Julie Christmas stay after school to practice their speech. They hope to win at a district speech competition. AFTER SCHOOL 9
