The Big Nite, sponsored by the publications staffs, gave Artesian girls a chance to pick their date for the evening. Most girls found they had a difficult time getting their dates away from the various booths. This year ' s Mardi Gras ' theme was highlighted by a brilliant green, ten foot dragon of papier mache. Fifteen booths, a coffee house, o haunted house, and a dunking stool provided the entertainment. There she rolls! cries junior Dave Dillow as he gives his dote, Suzi Lambert, a helping hand. Following the Junior- Senior Prom at Indiana Univer- sity, Artesions played billiards and bowled at the Suburban Lanes in Bloomington. h: 16

jobs with variety, money Sophomore Jerry Coywood does a little cleaning up before closing time to get the shop ready for the next day ' s business. Jerry held a job at the Western Auto Store during the school year. Pushing a broom was one of his duties at the store. Summers jobs, fall jobs, winter jobs, in ' jobs, out jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Jobs were the money making project of th e student body. Car- hops, delivery boys, and working at Schmaltzs were some of the in jobs. Grocery stores em- ployed several students as sackers and stackers. During the fall and winter the pizza places hired a few boys as chefs and servers. During the summer jobs were even more varied as sorpe life-guarded at beaches and pools. Others worked at the hospital and down- town stores. The Christmas vacation saw a lot of the students working at temporary jobs over the holidays in the downtown stores. The stores hired these students in preparation for the enormous crowds that were expected for the holiday shop- ping. Many students had regular jobs over each weekend and evenings during the winter. iit ' m Sophomore Denise Davis checks the amount of a purchase for a customer at Stagg ' s Drug Store.

Sparkle of night life adds to drab MHS day I would like to order one coke, and a cherry coke and two buddy boys. This was heard quite often at the Frisch ' s Big Boy in town, on Friday and Saturday nights. Martinsville High School gave students many activities for daters to at- tend, among them were dances at the armory and mixers after the football and basketball games. The two drive-ins were almost always heavily populated. The two miniature golf courses were always well attended. Also, a favorite past time was to go to Bloomington, to the movie and eat dinner at one of the many restaurants in the town. Plays were offered to students at Indiana University free of charge. Indianapolis gave students several places to go. Some Artesians celebrated a birth- day or a special occasion with dinner and a play at Clowes Hall or a movie at one of the downtown theaters. The state porks and lakes drew many hikers, swimmers, and water skiers. Fun! , was the pass word for all! A new look for pool playing — strictly formal. These white dinner jackets and long formals might just change the whole atmosphere of pool playing. These cool pool players are having a cue of a time at the post-Prom party at Surbur- ban Lanes in Bloomington. Even though no expert pool players may have developed, it was a night to remember. 17
