A trip to Ronnie Mac ' s to meet friends and hangout and a jammin ' time with loud music. w hether it be McDon- alds, Piz- za Hut or St. Luke dances, students al- ways seemed to find somethin ' to do on the weekends or after an exciting night in the blea- chers. Not too sur- prisingly, those gold- en arches of Ronnie Mac ' s took the num- Christine Richard ber one spot in favorite fast foods. There ' s always someone there that you know and you never know what to expect, said senior Pam Kougl. As ju- nior Kim Solven puts it, I think McDonalds is pretty much the hangout on the weekends — at least the meet- ing place. Other popular fast foods included Pizza Hut, Hardees, Burger King, Taco Treat, Arbys and Dag- woods. When there were no parties to go to and driving around got old, teens found a way to release their energy by gettin ' rowdy and jammin ' out to some good ol ' rock and roll. Students attended St. Luke dances throughout the year. Cou- ple Dave Sirak and Kim Gamble agreed to going because they like to dance to the loud music and to see who ' s there. Midnight Ride, a live band, played at the Homecoming dance. There was a bigger turnout than I expected, and I think it was because of the band, said senior Michelle Whittmyer. In addition to dances, students were treated early in the year to a live concert featuring Free Fare, a rock band from Florida, whose message was to say no to drugs.

Riding the bus, driving to school, and walking Getting to school, will it ever be any easier? LEAVING ALREADY?- After putting in a full day of school, and looking for- Cheryl White ward to a night full of homework, senior Renee Connors looks relieved to be going home. Transportation to school may change over the years, but kids ' attitudes usually don ' t. Over half of the students in school drive. The parking lot is a mena- gerie of pickups, junkers and hot cars. Whether it be two dollars worth of gas in the tank or 20 dollars, people seem to be able to get all over town in their cars. After all, cars give us the freedom that we all need once in a while. When the gas money runs out there is always the bus which is ready and willing to deliver kids to school. Walk- ing is also an option. Walking to school is a pain in the butt, commented ju- nior Jennifer Bauer. Other people like driving for differ- ent reasons. I drive my car so I can have more freedom, said senior Tim Watts. Though most people drive for these reasons some have loftier plans. I drive so that I can run the freshmen down at the bus stop, said senior Kathy Sykes. Still others find problems with the parking lot itself. The speed bumps are too high and there are too many of them, said junior Greg Wolgamot. Getting to school, will it ever be any easier? 11 Mike Wolfe SPORTY SMILE- Senior Casey McGiboney has every reason to smile as he walks away from his hot Mazda RX7. Dave Sirak TAKING THE BUS-Soph- omore Bryan Lee only has to ride the bus occasionally but other underclass- men non-drivers make the ride a ritual habit. GETTING TO SCHOOL
