Where the .-kcliouis at here the actionis at Crazy Charlie: Bye. l'm leaving. Don't wait up. I'Il be home late. Mom: Where are you going. and who are you going with? Crazy Charlie: A bunch of the guys are going out to eat, and then. we'll decide what to do. We'll either be at a movie or at a dance hall. Mom: Well. have fun. be careful, and don't drink and drive, son. lShe watches him leave.l lAfter eating at the local pizza parlor. Passive Paul. Intelligent Ivan. Warped Willie, Middle-of-the road Miles and Crazy Charlie argue about where to go.j Middle-of-the-road Miles: I'm in a dancing mood tonight, let's go to Western Swing. Warped Willie: Yeah. that sounds pretty good. I'd like to see some pretty ladies tonight. Crazy Charlie: A movie sounds pretty good. l've been wanting to see The Deerhunterf' Intelligent Ivan: Look. before we get into a big argument, let's do this democratically. We'll vote on where to go tonight. Passive Paul: Who's driving. l'm out of gas. Middle-of-the-road Miles: l drove last week. ltis not my turn. Intelligent lvan: Well. what now? Where the action's at . . .that's where you'll find mel For the upperclassmen. dance halls. restaurants. shopping malls and the theaters. or a combination were favorite meeting places. Because of a problem with transportation. most of the freshmen had to choose activities where they could be more stationary. such as skating and play- ing electronic games. For those looking for action on Sunday afternoons. there were always pick-up games of football and softball on the schoolgrounds. Other more personal hangouts included friends' houses which were used for party- ing. studying or just a quiet moment away from it all. ln an unscientific sampling. students said they let their parents know where they were going: they were affected by the gas shortage. the bills for their activities were usually paid out of their own salaries or by dates: they usually stayed out until midnight or later: they either gath- ered in two's or small groups up to 103 and n st io activities were planned ahead of time. Left: When thcrcis nothing better to do. there's nothing better to do than to go kicker dancing. Sophomores Brenda Zaborowski and John Wendt are regulars at the dance halls. john spends most of his time tht-re playing in the band.

While getting into toueh with themselves. people began plaeing less ialue on traditional institutions and pushed for their own indixiduality. Traditional morals fell by the way- side as almost anything was adapted to by the publie. What had been outrageous behavior in the Sixties was soeially aeeeptable in the Seventies. T-shirts and boots joined blue jeans as the mainstay of fashions and of self expression. Faney designer stlies made or whatever else one wanted to tell the world. them flashy and dressy. Skirts went from mini to maxi to lcnee length to split up to the thigh. The personalities and events ranged from Riehard Nix- on's downfall resulting in a decay in political faith to Aya- tollah Khomeini and his young radieals' antics resulting in renewed nationalism. The US. control on the world eeon- omy dropped as she drowned in a sea of oil and bowed down to terrorists in foreign governments. Frustration was evident as a total unknown named Jimmy Carter made it to the White House. Brief exhibitions of nationalism rose from fields of apa- thy. Ameriea turned 200, and the country partied. Hatred for Iran. sparked by the terrorist kidnapping of 50 Ameri- eans ami demands for the return of the shah, brought a brief ban on eritieism of the Presidf-nt's policies. C0n't. p. 22
