Tf vou've ever visted Ferndale, you know that after the sun goes down all excitement dies. That's until the week- end rolls around. In this case the ex- citement starts when the sun goes down. If you like to nlav nool, oinhall, or others vou can visit the Ferndale Rec Center. On Friday nights you can hear live country music at the Community Cen- ter. If your thing is getting together with a few friends you might want to try one of the many clubs on Garrison Road. Except for weekdays, Ferndale has a lot to offer. Candy Strippers are people who volunteer their time and services to help out at their local hospitals during the summer. Several Robinson students have donated their time to serving others in this way. They do such things as running errands, computer work, answering patient calls, working in the nur- sery and the labor room. They can do almost everything but give med- icine. The age limit on being a candy stripper is 14 years old, or be in the 9th grade. Lauren Goodloe, Lori Lynch, Char- lene Jones, Pam Turpin, and Paula Cooper are some students who have done this. when asked why they volunteered, the general response was that it helps you get a good start on your medical career, or just see if really what you want to go in to, or they like to do it, and you really learn a lot.
