Weekends For Special Friends It was Friday. The bell sounded across the empty quad at three, and the campus became an ant colo- ny of students rushing to enjoy the weekend. Big Bear, Golden West, Newport, Palm Springs, Mammoth, and friends, houses were familiar places where frustrated Millikan students skied, climbed, surfed, or partied a week of school out of their systems. Weekends were made for special friends. Beaches were a favorite hangout. Surf-cats rose at five in the morning, hit the waves for a jammin' two-hour session, and were back to school just after the tardy bell had rung on week days. On weekends beachcombers could work the waves all day long. Another weekend activity was skimming over the snow carpeted slopes of Mammoth, Snow Sum- mit, and Heavenly Valley. Financing a downhill ski trip was always a problem, but ski bums like Steve Sloan somehow found the dough to go. Of course there were nonconformists such as rugged rock climber David Carver, make-up artist Ken Siegel, fantasy role playing master Les Hair- ell, and band member Steve Hoyt. Every student had a time to do something special and different for themselves on their free weekend time. Then there was everyoneis favorite past time, that crucial question, Where's the party, man? Parties were a common weekend occurance. Clubs, friends, and church groups found time to celebrate life. Birthday parties fthe cake and ice-cream syn- dromewj, beach barbecues ffood seasoned with sandj, club celebrations fthe standard hearty par- tyj, and good friend get-togethers fthe typical closed partyj were all ways of celebrating after five days of reading, studying, and testing. 1 6 Activities Weekends LEFT: TRUST IN THE FORCE-Surrounded by aster oids, Kirk Hilliar and Jaime Le clercq defend the universe at an arcade in Lakewood. p.,, .,,, Wax .. e 0 ,., ,435 s' ' G ' -,F 5 ' ' I , . 9 5 ' . 1 es Q' 4 0 ' Q J f' FAR ABOVE: HANG-ON!- Marty Chiu surfs the concrete waves of Lake- wood Skate Park.
