£ ♦— (Continued from page 14.) The favorites included: cruising, midnight movies, and dating. “My ideal weekend would be to have gone out with a totally gorgeous guy who brings me roses. Junior Pam Peplow noted. When stu- dents became tired of the usual activities, they stayed home with friends and enjoyed a big bowl of popcorn and a few good movies on a VCR. Senior Lisa Covey de- scribed her weekends, We would go to the grocery store late at night, and fill up a cart with grocer- ies. then trade, and see who could put the other's groceries back the fastest. Saturdays were a time for sleep- ing late — but not too late. Pic- nicking, golfing, football games, or just being with family and friends filled the day. A good place to spend time and money was Fiesta Mall. Regular weekends were great, but the three day, holiday week- ends were even better. Many stu- dents enjoyed snow skiing during the winter. Skimming over the wa- ter on skis at Canyon or Saguaro Lakes, or tubing down the Salt Riv- er made students forget about go- ing back to school. Some went out of town to visit relatives or friends. For those who weren't able to go out of town, teen night clubs were a must. Goldrush and Devilhouse were available Sunday nights, where students could dance the night away. Although weekends always seemed too short, they gave stu- dents something to look forward to. It has been said that people live for the weekends, and the Mus- tangs proved it.

 I am not lending you any more money, go out and get a job!” This one phrase sent thousands of teens out on the prowl for work. However, not only parents influ- enced teens to enter the working world. The need for money, social occasions, and material items also prompted them. It came down to either getting a job or spending the weekends at home in front of the T.V. A fate that was seen as worse than death. Once a job was incorporated into the schedule, there was rarely time for going out. Between work- ing twelve to forty hours a week, homework and sleep, time seemed to disappear. Working was not entirely boring. Andrea Bones found her job in a dentist’s office gave her added re- sponsibility. Added fringe benefits included work related parties and the op- portunity to join work sponsored teams. Although working could have been considered drudgery for cur- rency, the benefits of clothes, cars, and occasional fun made it worth the effort. Design by Kari Elting. Photos by Dawn Mohney.
