1 hpre’s nothing to do! Columbus is a drag! Whaf a weekend. Couldn't find anybody! “t?ode around, got bored, went to Macs and SaCHSSsht°udents fill the halls with statements like these every Monday but once again they Thank God It’s Friday when the week’s over and they can go ‘out 3 Summer, spring and fall party grounds were closed this year due to abuse by some stu” dents Tailrace. Powerhouse and Lake North were closed off because Powerhouse was vandalized and a police car was vandalized at Lake North. Tailrace was closed because it is part of Loup Power’s property as is Powerhouse. MacDonald’s. Godfather’s. Pizza Hut and the new Burger King were some of the favorite eating places for CHS students. The theater and drive-in held interest only if their shows were good or in the drive-in’s case because it was an easy, convenient place to park. Football games, wrestling meets and basketball games were the big party nights during the fall and winter. Food places were crowded or a party was overflowing with people after these sports. Lose or not. CHS students were keyed for the after affects. (They were, that is, if they weren’t real avid spectators or the players.) Thursday nights start the Main Street ride. Sunday through Wednesday had few cars buzzing down it, but after Wednesday the street was filled. Hinky Dinky, Safeway and Equitable Savings and Loan would vow to that as their parking lots filled and the stores remained empty. UFOs filled the air down at Pawnee Park or Gerrard Park after school and on Saturdays and Sundays if the weather permitted. Fris-bees were flying, stereos were cranked or an amplifier was brought out while students got crazy. Home Box Office began this year so students did some begging and got channel five installed. It showed movies with no interruptions or cuts. It was a great way to spend a date or have friends over if ma and pa weren’t home. Dances at school or the Y attracted students but weren’t held every weekend so were just a change of pace for students with free time. 0 ✓ - ■ r 10 The Stars

•Be a wild-n-crazy kid at school. •Go to the bathroom before you go to class since you can’t go later. •Get away with open campus if you can pass as being a senior or a teacher. •Know how to turn up the heat in the classrooms. •Don’t get caught doing handstands in the halls during classes. •Sharpen your pencil after the bell has rung, not before, because then it wouldn’t waste time. •Don’t make-out in the halls. •Don’t tell gossip around the teachers or faculty. •Make plans to study the night before the test because you won’t have studied earlier. •Don’t wear street shoes on the gym floor. •Have lots of fun math parties. •Don't plan on studying in study hall 117; no one else will be. •Hope it snows enough to cancel school the day before your English research paper is due. •Don’t concern yourself with other people’s business; it may prove hazardous to your health. •Be careful with your bugs in Biology. •Don’t be a sissy. •Be a STUD! •Don’t get caught cheating on a test. •Sit on the heater in the commons. It’s the only warm place in the school. •Don’t throw paper airplanes. •Don’t go into the wrong bathroom. •Have a blue slip and a good excuse if you are caught wandering in the halls. •Don’t throw chalkboard erasers when you are wearing black clothes. •Don’t eat the daisey’s. •Understand why Mr. Luther calls your parents and sends you to 104B. •Don’t be seen sneaking into school. •Make sure that teachers are teased a lot. •Sit next to the class brain in math and hopefully some of it will rub off on you. •Remember to take home your stinky P.E. clothes at the end of the first semester. They deserve to be washed at least once a year. Dos And Don’ts 9
