People going places high school students do not like to stay home on weekends. That ' s a fact. They get an urge around 5:00 Friday night to do something or be someplace which has no relation to school. What do they do? Well, let ' s see. A popular place to go is Ed Debevic ' s, a fifties-type restaurant where a lot of people go to eat or just hang out. Down the street is the Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock is a restaurant that not only has good food, but also rock and roll memorabilia. It is a good place to go to eat or just so they can say they ' ve been there. Ball games: whether the Chicago Bears, Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls, there is usually a game someplace. Friends go together, sit in the bleachers, and cheer their team on. This was also one of the biggest years for concerts. Genesis, Van Halen, David Lee Roth, and even the Monkees all had sold out shows. Students showed them off the following Monday by wearing the T-shirt that they bought. Finally, there were the basic movies and parties. People flocked to the theaters with their dates, to see such flicks as Reform School Girls , and Eat and Run. Then they would go to their prospective parties. Senior Steve Reitman states, I always make it a point to go out every weekend because it takes my mind off school. . , J Enc Litt Wandering the enchanted cafeteria, senior Tracy Doetsch and sophomore Chris Feldman look for fellow crea¬ tures on Halloween. Halloween pro¬ vides fun and freaks for all who dare step into the wild world of witches and warlocks. Junior George Langis dis¬ guises himself under a purple wig. Many students take advantage of Oc¬ tober 31 to transform themselves into who they would most like to be. Ready fora Wild Halloween night, sen¬ ior Elaine Barrington dresses up Ted riugent.

It finally arrived in Chicago, after getting its start in London and Los Angeles. Opening Section 9
