lmost every student at DHS during '86-87 spent most of his time the books, working hard on a sports team or be- ing involved in extra-curricu- lar activities. Saturday and Sunday, on the other hand, were reserved for more en- joyable pursuits. Eating was one popular weekend activity. On a Fri- day or Saturday night, one could always see the newly- opened Ed Debevics' restau- rant packed with DHS stu- dents who often waited up to 45 minutes to be seated. Most students didn't go through a weekend without passing through a fast-food place such as McDonald's or Burger King. Ed's and McDonald's seemed to be- come the only hangouts for DHS students, who never really had a place just to re- hitting X Diamonds are a Glrl's Best Friend . , .

Harry's Grill tried to respond to the hangout crisis by keeping its doors open to teenagers on weekend nights. This, however, drew few teenagers, and local community members are still trying to solve the hangout problem. When kids weren't eating, they were shopping. Stu- dents flocked to Northbrook Court from every high school on the North Shore. Guys and girls alike spent their time buying clothes and re- cords and socializing. Other weekend interests included parties, bowling, sleeping, sporting events and movies. The weekends were used by most students as a time to relax from the pres- sures of school, a chance to catch up on lost sleep and a time to have fun.

Cut to Sea uring the third weekend in March, Deerfield High School set sail with Anything Goes, the 1987 spring musical. Over fifty cast members and dozens of crew members worked togeth- er for more than two months to produce the show. Under the guidance of DHS drama teacher David Hirsch and As- sistant Directors Scot Abra- hamson and Liz McCarthy, Anything Goes took shape. The play takesplace on a ship sailing to England. Billy Crock- er, a young Wall Street assis- tant, decides to stow away on board in order to pursue the love of his life, Hope Harcourt. Assisted by nightclub singer Fteno Sweeney and outlaw Moonface Martin, the charac- ters engage in several chases and cases ot mistaken identity until the lovers are happily united at the end. The show starred Judy Ty- son as Reno, Larry Finer as Billy, Katherine Stone as Hope and Brian Morris as Moon. Other major roles were played by Lissa Topel, Alison Gutter- man, David Lazar and Brad Morris. Sets were designed and built by Kieran Rohan with assistance from Mr. Putz. The dancing was choreographed by Bonnie Lasky, while the costume crew was headed by Tina Stevens. Although this was the first musical which Hirsch directed at DHS, it received rave re- views from audience mem- bers. lt was an old-fashioned Love Boat which did the se- ries one better.
