They may have found themselves counting down the days till Spring Break. Finally, after what seemed like an eter- nity, the last day before an entire week of fun had arrived. Staring out ofthe window, iyou begin to notice that everything seems to come alive. The grass has turned green, the sun is shining bright, and the birds have began to sing. This brings the three S's to imind: sun, surf, and sand!!! Your mind begins to wander off, you realize there is O 5,311 ng felfel' only five more minutes till the bell.

Some students found themselves working during their days of freedom away from school. l have to work during the entire first weekend, but hopefully l won't have to work the rest of the week, comments Senior, Patty Owens.
