Lunchtime was a.welcome break for most students as it gave them a chance to socialize with friends. Isn’t this great?! Senior Stephanie O’Toole laughs with some friends during a before-school pep rally. This year, many of the pep rallies were held in the front lobby before morning classes began for the day. Will this class ever end? Senior Scott Wilson listens intently to a lecture in government. It was sometimes hard not to let the mind wonder when the sun was shining outside and friends were close by.

Wandering Around On the first day of school, there was mild confusion everywhere. Students and teachers milled around, moving slowly. It seemed as though even the up¬ perclassmen were unsure of their destina¬ tion. This confusion was evident especial¬ ly where freshmen were concerned. Freshman Jay Ashton agreed adding, “We were all just wandering around, look¬ ing for a friendly face.” Pretty soon, though, things settled down and school became routine. Students knew which teachers would give homework every night and which ones would allow a few tardies every now and then. After school activities helped to curb the monotony of an average school day. Some event was usually taking place after school! On any given day, the front lobby would be crowded with students waiting for club meetings, practices, or a Now I get it!! Senior Lori MacDonald laughs at a joke told during accounting class. Many students appreciated a good joke every now and then, as it helped to liven up class as well as speed along a slow-moving day.

For the most part, though, the crowded groups of people were huddled together discussing the latest school and social news before the busses left the school. Socializing with friends was a major part of every stu¬ dent’s day. Senior Shelly Doneen put its best when she said, “It’s great to be able to spend some time talking to friends I don’t usually see.” After school hours and on the weekends, Woodbridge students could be seen in various places and activities. Many students spent Friday nights wat¬ ching the big game and relieving the ten¬ sion of the week by attending the dance after the game. Lake Ridge McDonalds and the local Pizza Hut were also crowd¬ ed with ravenous teenagers. No matter what one did with his free time or weekends, one thing was usually true, friends were together. Senior Lisa Lemay remarked, “My friends are impor¬ tant to me, I like to see them as much as I can!” 6 Student Life
