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.

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.
