, ' M Weekends Bring Relief Hey, Where ' s the party tonight? was the ques- tion every student asked on Friday morning. No matter where they did it, students always found a way to party a long week of school out of their systems. Outdoor buffs like Dan Black and Dave Carver took off to the mountains and deserts to engage in everything from mountain climbing to sky diving. Still others, like Jon Ellertson and Chuck William- son, found that a good source of enjoyment was a late night trip to Edison Park to just kick back, watch the Edison plant, and gel in their beach chairs. As long as there was sun out, Huntington, New- port, and Sunset beaches were packed with stu- dents. Beach chairs, surfboards, loud radios, sun- tan oil, frisbees, and popular magazines were all seen in mass quantities on the beach. Some people like Elissa Paternoster were on the beach for the last ray of sun, but the more devoted surfers like Ron Liboon and Steve Star hit the surf daily, storm or calm. The beach wasn ' t the only means of water fun; some found pleasure far away from the last grain sand. Marc Black spent every free moment out the open sea in his yacht; David Klenk took i windsurfing to fill his time; Dan Broussard foui that he was more suited for scuba diving. Weather played a big role in the weekend acti ties. During the colder seasons, indoor get i gethers were by a warm fireplace; beach parties and barbecues were characteristic of the warmer seasons. Drive-in movies and late trips to Naugles were also favorites. A fun movie like The Wall and a combo burrito from Naugles made up a typical weekend. After a long week of migrane headaches, every minute of the 48-hour party was vital. Whether it was constant activity or just kicking back, the weekend was the time to party. LEFT.

Hey Mickey — Hey Pepsters How many more laps do we have to double-step around the track? sighed Song Girl Connee Men- denhall as she wiped the sweat from her forehead in the blazing summer sun. We have to be in shape in order to perform at spirit camp, said an equally exhausted Flag Girl Tina Ling. Summer started out with short morning wor- kouts and peaked with tough two-a-day practices. Flag Girl Darlene Flanders explained, Many peo- ple don ' t realize how much conditioning we have to ) through before we can perform at camp and at ames. Hard work was rewarding as both Song and Flag received superior trophies at camp. Outstanding performances by Song Girl Cindy Millican and lag Girl Teri Hammer earned them a chance to audition for a spot on the teaching staff at next year ' s summer camp. Pepsters, led by Teri Hammer and Cathy Greci, stuck to the traditional day uniforms, but made a major change on the back side, opening it up and adding a bow for effect. Song and Flag changed the style at night with new white uniforms. At the rallies they rocked to the new beats of Kids in America and Hey Mickey. They var- ied their routines by dancing to older songs of Sixty-five Love Affair and Only The Good Die Young.
