Concerts, Movies, Parties Attract Students Where could you find CHS students after school hours? One place was at a school activity such as basketball and football games, a dance or even a theater production. Cruising down main street was common, where you could find out what was going on in town. Going to the drive-in or theater was a place where you could take a date or just have fun with a group of friends. Popular movies this year included Fast Times at Ridgemont High , An Officer and a Gentleman , and Tootsie . Parties were held every now and then for whatever reason anyone had to throw a party. Here was where students had a chance to get to know each other. Concerts at the Omaha Civic Auditorium and the Lincoln Pershing Center attended by students were Billy Squire, Journey, April Wine, Stray Cats, Van Halen, Pat Benetar, and Styx. Music changed a little as the punk music hit Columbus, but rock was still popular. Tapes and albums students listened to included Journey, New Frontiers, Def Leopard, Pyromania, Pat Benetar, Get Nervous, Billy Squire, Emotions in Motion, Men at Work, Business as Usual and Michael Jackson. The Columbus High Basketball games are usually attended by many students. Here the crowd gives a cheer for the home team It's o dirty job. as they say, but somebody's got to do it.

“School’s Out For Summer” School's out and the summer of '82 began. Students were seen at a friend's house. Grand Ole Auction. Tail Race, hay rides, and weddings. Jobs were occupying the after- noons of most students. Sleeping until noon and just being lazy were popular among teens. The afternoons were also filled with students at the lake, playing tennis or baseball for the fun of it or on a league, and detassling. Sunday afternoon was Lake North time. Swimming, skiing, laying out, jamming to the music, boating, and partying seemed to fill the hours. Night life of summer included cruising down mains or partying. Lots of CHS students went on road trips. They ranged from Omaha to Humphrey to Snyder. People would pile into a vehicle and just take off . The Platte County Fair, as usual, was a meeting place for students who hadn't seen each other since May. A few students happened to make it down to the State Fair. They went for the rides, the concerts, or just because they felt like going. Summertime was usually spent with friends or with that someone special. On August 27 it all came to an end, but will always be remem- bered.
