Friday's Jubilee! Concentration shifts from the current lecture to the clock imperceptibly moving. Friday afternoon, students and teachers both wait for the last bell. After a week of late nights, clumps of tests, and a flood of homework, the antsiness is contagious. Eyes flicker from the watch out the window and back to the clock. Minds review their plans for Friday night. When the last bell does ring, the halls overflow with students charging to their lockers. Millers ransack their lockers, grab their stuff and fly out the doors. Just like the students, teachers pack up and have disappeared by 2:05. After everyone's gone one can still hear the sighs of relief. Thank God It's Friday! upper left: Bill Quinn packs up fast to go home, upper right: Brent Gicbink, Heather Holdgraf, Nam Diffley and Simon Evans bop out of school, lower left: Dave Peterson checks his watch to see how much time is left until 2:00. lower right: Millers cruise out after the last bell.

Monday Blues Puffy red eyes, drooped shoulders and clouded minds are just a few symptoms of the MONDAY BLUES. Comatosed students wander the halls without speaking as the first bell rings. Teachers forget what they are talking about while students struggle to listen. These are typical Monday rituals that almost everyone goes through after another weekend draws to a close. What are the causes of this occurrence? Could it be that these Washburnites left their homework until the last minute and then had to stay up until two in the morning to finish? Or was it that they couldn't miss the late, late show for fear that it may not be on again this week. Whatever the cause the effects are noticeable as Washburn students enter their classes each Monday morning. upper right: Mr. Carlson caught in the act of yawning, middle right: Students catch some ZZZ's during a chemistry movie, lower right: Scott Skorheim gives into Monday pressures, upper left: Early students arrive in the dark. 16 Student Life

Where We're At! Before school . . . After school ... You all have been there ... Just hanging around. Hanging out is not a practice reserved for over anxious seniors, who want nothing more than their final year to end. Even the newcomers catch on very quickly. Lunch is a popular time to leave the building and spend time either sitting around outside on the field or driving to one of the many restaurants or stores that are close to the school. Evenings and weekends. Millers keep close to their daytime stomping grounds. Frequent stops include the Boulevard Theater, to catch the latest movie or the early fall favorite BACK TO SCHOOL, and the Malt Shop, which features delicious short order favorites and cool, smooth malts. Hanging out is very popular and understandably so at an open-campus school such as Washburn. lower left: The Malt Shop, a convenient stop for relaxing and dining, welcomes Millers for lunch, afterschool snacks, or evening meals, upper right: Top of the line movies for only 99 cents (plus tax), what a bargain! lower right: In the shade of the building, seniors Bryan Anderson and Daryl Volk relax during lunch. 18 Student Life
