ff/onday, Monday. Not only a

song, but the beginning of the school and

work week. According to Germanic

factual, and a bit of ficticious legend, the

names of the week were developed when

the Roman soldiers invaded the area of

the Teutons. The Romans arrived in

Germany and the Teutons heard them

call Monday dieslunae (“day of the

I**
moon”) . They were astonished to see
0
soldiers pray to the moon on this day.

The Teutons translated dies lunae into

Monadag. From there it is easy to see

how Monday was derived. Monday at

school meant the beginning of the week,

a long week, but, sometimes, such as
Surf
Di#:
Memorial Day Weekend, it meant a

Don®'
three-day weekend. Those were the
Som*
Mondays everyone liked.

According to junior Chuck Rogers,

“Mondays stink! Everything goes wrong
W onday som etim es education class. No,
