rr C r 1 r 1 J T □ When the street lights go on, the students go out Most students are familiar with the parental warning from the years gone by, “Be home when the street lights go on!” However, nowadays most students would greet this warning with a laugh or a statment close to, “You have got to be kidding. I don’t get ready to go out until the street lights go on.” After 2,100 minutes a week spent in school, most students look forward to the weekend and its night life with a fervor equal to that of a caged animal set free. “This is the time of the week when you forget everything else and enjoy yourself,” stated sophomore Greg Chip. However, not all students take to the town as others do. Some students unhappily find themselves spending their nights work- ing. “Working at McDonald’s is more or less my night life. I get days off, like some Fridays, and go out with my friends, but working really keeps me busy,” stated junior Tim Feeney. Working after school may not leave much of a night life open Dancin’ up a storm. Ecstatic to find the week past and the weekend to come, sophomore Valerie St. Leger exuberantly dances her tensions away during one of the dances following a basketball game. for social events, but the reward is in the paycheck. Cruising the town may not be as popular as it was in the 50’s; however, students still enjoy getting out, just as long as they get out with their friends. “A good weekend night to me is going out with all your friends, whether it’s going to a party or just driving around,” remarked John Brosovic, junior. Agreeing with the motto that two is company, three is a crowd, Anita Sidor, junior, commented, “Sometimes it’s really nice when just Tom and I go out and have dinner. It’s really a good way to spend a quiet evening.” After a hectic week, some students find themselves happy in the comfort of their own “Home-Sweet-Home.” “I like to relax on week nights, maybe watch TV or listen to the stereo,” expressed sophomore Cora Lawson. As midnight takes its toll, students may be found cruising the town, chowing down at Aurelio’s, coming in from a date or snuggled in front of the TV. It’s all a matter of personal interest. After all, everyone walks to the beat of a different drummer.

Lets go dancing. Animated by loud rock music, ju- niors Jenny Durham and Mike Dillion move their feet to the sounds of the Chi band, Pawnz. Right on time. Arriving at the After Four Supper Club at the start of the dance, 8:30, juniors Brett Rob- bins and Lisa Mitchell pick up their memory books in order to have a nice reminder of the evening. m inchline iwe were all looking for our names on the wall and I couldn’t find mine. Then my date noticed that my name had been spelled wrong. Instead of saying Sandy, it said Pandy, A A stat- ed junior Sandy Petrashevich. For every perfect hour of a dance night, there are five minutes set aside for disaster. Not every dress has been fit for a queen and for every circumstance that has a graceful outcome, there are 20 other not so graceful ones. “As I was going to get my picture taken, I tripped over the camera’s cord. I was so em- barrassed. My whole face turned red,” ex- plained sophomore Jessica Efron. “We were all at Condes’s for dinner. As I was going to pay the check, I noticed my wallet was gone. Then I realized that it was sitting on my dresser at home. Luckily, a friend had enough money to pay for both of our dinners,” stated freshman Jay Potasnik. Chi 27

Table for two. Taking time out of their busy schedules to spend time with each other, sophomore Tom Hemingway and junior Anita Sidor glance through the menu as they look forward to a quiet evening together. Making plans. As the evening approaches, freshman Karen Gronek notifies her friend on the phone that they will arrive soon, while freshman Melinda Beeche touches up her appearance. A favor for mom.
