I never do homework on weekends unleSs its the last 30 minutes of Sunday night. w'Junmr Tonya Gladsnn 144 DOING TIME Iris terrible! I've been grounded for two and a half months now and it's still running -junior Julie Roach 134 TIME AFTER TIME The hat dance was like a closing ritual for the rallies and showed the crowd that the football team was united Qsenior Scan Berken as it is there. While junior Staci Biggar sets her alarm for 5:15 a.m. to be at school for Hyline practice at 7:15, senior Mark Ritter tells his mom not to wake him up a minute before 8:30 am. so he can slide in under the 8:45 tardy bell. Outsiders stereotype ulife in the hillsii as one big party. And they,re right. But the party here is very much the same It,s meeting friends before school, gossiping about Frie day night and screaming across the Commons after second period confirming that the gossip is true. Then at lunch, it,s sophomores pretending to be juniors, and seniors, quite frankly, just being seniors. After school hours, to each their own-wpractices, jobs, shopping at Neimanis in Dallas. . . Thafs life at Westlake. 11KING PUFF While mom, Carol Piperi, watches surprise ingly, senior class sponsor Sandy Kern crowns senior Adrian Piperi powder puff king.

Sophomores Piper Bunnell and Jennifer Vinson eat pizza and drink Coke at the New Addition, pre-foothall game party aimed to help new students make friends. 1 Its all behind you. It's the first day of school. No more sand, sun or surf. Parking problems, schedule cona flicts and locker confusion prevail. And what about all those serious, pressing matters.7 What if you donlt get the same lunch as your friends? What if they messed up your schedule and youlre signed up for Macrame Ill all day long? Back'tO'SChOOl, with all its hassles, marked the renewal of friendships and expectations of unknown things to come. UI am excited about starting my senior year, with all the rewards, and even the hard work, it will bring,,' junior Shannon Legg anv ticipated about the first day next year. Katie Sprugt another junior, agreed that returning next year as a senior elicited expectations about uruling the school. uGoing back to school in the fall as a senior is going to be more ex- citing than any other year. Seniors are the oldest in the school, with all the privileges and all the power. It will be fun, she said. Not worried, junior Jim Norman likes school at the beginning, but 116 Student Life then begins to have his doubts as time progresses. uIlm always glad to be back on the first day, because its a change after the summer, but in a few months, I wonder how I ever could have felt that way. Then there are those congenial souls who relish the idea of meeting all the incoming students. The first day of school has always been CXe citing for me, junior Kristi Wilson said, because I love seeing my friends and meeting all the new peOe ple, and making them feel welcome. In an afterthought, Kristi said, uIlll be very excited until my sentimental nature intervenes and I'll be sad to think that it will be my last lfirst' day of high schoolf' On the other side of the fence are those who are decidedly depressed by the idea of returning each September. ul could think of a number of four letter words to describe the first day of school, junior Dan Gillcrist said, unone of which are printable.H There are also those who really don't give it much thought. Hl couldn't care less sophomore Alex' ander Barr said, Hschool, holiday - it's all the same to me. A t Amara? '
