Weekends made for special times Students make time special through their good natured antics I omework and school most students complained that was all they had time tr. These complaints, however, were not .ken too seriously by the listeners or the meakers. All the students knew deep down jw to have a good time, Whether on cam- us or off, students took fun and good mes to the limits. V Weekends were one of the most popular times for fun and antics. Northwest many students standing in its seemingly never ending lines for a ticket. Most of the time it was worth the wait because most people only went to see those movies that had been approved by the school's movie critics . After the movie had passed the peer board, the students paid fgrudginglyj the 53.50 to see' their favorite movie, perhaps Arthur, Reds or Raiders ofthe Lost Ark or any number of a few dozen films that graced for maybe didn'tl the screen. Movie prices were so high your father had to own an oil well for you to go to the movies very often remarked Teresa . . . your father had 10 own an oil well . . . Estrada-Berg jokingly. For those did not find movies totheir tastes, there were plenty of other forms of entertainment. Many weekends found the malls, restaurants, and yes even a few dance halls crowded with students eager to have as much fun as possible before that dreaded Monday came again. Although, these forms of interest attracted many peo- ple, many students were quite content to attend one of the frequent parties given throughout the year.

I g I am working for a periodontist, that is, a gum surgeon. I know it sounds ter- rible but it is pretty interesting. My job is to assist him in surgery which is. everything from pre- medicating and preparing the patient for surgery, to passing instruments, suc- tioning and retracting, making the dressings, to the final clean-up. Surgery usually lasts anywhere from four to six hours and he moves at a fast pace so it is my responsibility to keep one step ahead of him at all times. After surgery, the patients become mine and the other assistants' respon- sibility. The first week we remove the sutures and both dressings and replace it with a softer dressing. The second week, fwe remove the soft dressing, polish their teeth, and remove any pre- sent scar tissue. The third week, we polish again and check for scar tissue and how they are healing. During all of these visits the doctor will come in and check. It is my job to record everything on their chart. V I have learned a lot through my on- the-job training. I have found that working with the public is fascinating and very rewarding. -Teresa Lashbrook Senior , 1 1 I

Good times Life filled with work, also with parties, antics I f traveling wasn't your thing, then you could take advantage of what San An- tonio had to offer. One of the most popular vacations in town was just before summer. Why? Becuse it's Fiesta time! Many Clark students took advantage of San Antonio's only city-wide party, One of the favorite events of Fiesta was Night in Old San'An- tonio faffectionately known as NIOSAJ. Clark students did not have to leave campus to have fun and celebrate. Many antics happened on campus. Students were always up to some kind of fun or mischief somewhere at school, stated junior Anne Heer. A good example of this was the birthdays that brought to life mountains of flowers, presents, and birth- day 'cakes. Match-making also seemed to be a favorite pastimeg at least Victor Grant's friends seemed to think so. . . seem to not care about school . . . Students, also got a chance for a unique kind of fun at school. For the first time in nine years San Antonians saw snow. Many students flocked outside and some, despite objections from the administration, threw snowballs at each other to get into the spirit of winter. y Winte or spring, it did not matter to us. All year long we tried to have fun at whatever we did. -Kim Wallace 246 3:36 Magazine I' In an attempt to gain extra points on our research Dawn fPlninneyl, let's try to get that skiiinstructor papers, Carrie Hanahan, Juliet Purnell, ,and I wash give us some ski tips.'
