This was a typical scene on any Fri- day or Saturday night at the Grandview McDonald's. But these were not Grandview stu- dents, instead they were from Ruskin. 'll don't think, we have the kind of places that people go to after school just to meet everyone, Carole Wal- ters, senior said. t Walters attributes this to the lack of students dating around. No one seems to date around any- more, Walters said. But according to junior Tom Marinan, Grandview students do have some hangouts. On the weekends a lot of people get together and do things. But not like they used to at Kelso's. People still go there but not every weekend. he said. Walters agreed that after football and basketball games, students fre- quent McDonald's, Minskey's and Kelso's but not as often as they used tO. More and more people are going to the Grandview Plaza after dates. Ev- eryone sits and talks and plays frisbee. Another gathering place is State Line Park. Parties are more common there, Walters said. According to Debby Armannees, senior, the 'hangouts have faded out and now parties are where everyone goes. lt's easy to find someone whose having a party. Usually they are not in- vitations only.
