_/hursday meant Friday was

just around the corner. With the turn of

the clock and the blink of an eye Friday

would be upon us. Thursday was named

Dies Jovis (“day of Jupiter or Jove”) by

the Romans. This was translated by the

Teutons into Thorsdag for their god

Thor. Both Thor and Jupiter were gods

of strength and thunderbolts. Thursday

meant girls basketball games, swim

meets and opening night for various

plays. Sometimes Thursday meant late

night studying for those Friday final

exams. Just like everyday, Thursdy

meant a school day, and for some a work

day.

Concluded Junior Craig Mertins, “I

like Thursday because it is payday at

HyVee.”

Thursday meant girls basketball
ames. Many times small crowds
lagued these games because they
rere held during the regular
chool week.
