WEN suv has Ili! L.. Hugs E? ,..-we These are excuses to be with all of your friends, yell, dress in strange sil- ver-and-blue clothing, and occasion- ally even watch the game. Sometimes, like at the Homecoming game, the stands are packed. Even in snow storms and gale-force winds, a crowd will show up. This is the ultimate high-school activity, not to be missed. After football games, most people will go out to eat. Often, the place to go is Panhandler's Pizza. Other fast-food restaurants are always popular. For lunch, or during a skipped class, stu- dents can satisfy cravings for tacos, hamburgers, pizza, chicken, dough- nuts, Slurpees, or nearly anything else. The pursuit of food is nearly as important as the pursuit of the oppo- site sex. This final pursuit is the thing to do on weekends, and the place to do it is College Avenue. Cruising becomes very popular, once students get their driver's licenses. Brenda Cray insists: When in doubt, cruise! Some people want to show off their cars. Others simply want to show off. Lap after lap is taken around three blocks of down- town College Avenue. Occasional outbreaks of vandalism and drunken weirdness have caused police to use checkpoints and increased patrolling to keep cruisers under control. How- ever, students will always cruise, be- cause it's an excuse to get obnoxious and let off steam, which makes five days of school in the week ahead seem easier to face. All of these pastimes are extremely popular on weekends, and all are de- signed to release and to have a good time. Whether you stay at home, go to football games, go out to eat, or cruise, if it is done responsibly, adults have no reason to complain about the Poudre High School nightlife. Mark Valdez is checking out the Strip : College Avenue on a Saturday night, where many Poudre students go to meet friends and cut loose .

Poudre Students Enjoy What Fort Collins Has to Offer e I Like The ightlife, Bab . . . A more varied group of responses among Poudre students will not be found than to the question, How do you spend your weekend nights? Al- most no one does homework Qthat's reserved for Sunday nightsj, so most activities are some variation on the vegetating theme. It's amazing, the effort some people will make in order to avoid work. One activity which is more popular than some students care to admit is sitting at home. This is free, and offers food and entertainment, such as TV's, VCR's, stereos, home gyms, video games, and so on. Cartoons on TV are P always popular, along with comedies. Students can rent videocassettes for next to nothing. They enjoy adven- ture films, comedy, horror, and videos in questionable taste, if they can get them. The only problem is that stu- dents are vulnerable to the nagging of siblings and parents at home, so many people choose to go out at night. Of course, in the fall, students are hopelessly square if they don't go to football games. Mike Ditullio lives out his violent fantasies by watching war cartoons on TV. John Lance is kicking back with all the animal pleasures: food, a sofa, and a warm TV. Football games allow normally cool and collected students to show off their wild sides. P john Henderson, Dave Alden, and jeff Nelson are trying out a little food and companionship at Pan's.
