Off-campus comes alive with cruisin' nce upon atime there was a high school known as Wichita High School South. Many exciting people went to this establishment every day and slowly they became a family, a working, sharing and caring group known as the student bodv. Although this sounds like a paragraph from an epic novel, it dramatizes some of the actual events which occurred during the school year. At the beginning of the year, new faces appeared in the form of sophomores. Because of these new per- sonalities, students began meeting at some of the fast- food places after football games and other fall sports events. Some of the football players would drop in to munch on some of the food while socializing with the females there. After the first few weeks of school, nightlife became history and dating began. Many couples went to movies, to the park, out to eat or to a movie at a drive- inn, weather permitting. A walk down the waterfront in Stoner Park was also a common event. Occasionally, a group of girls or a group of guys would go out together, ending the night with a trip down Douglas, the drag strip. Although the strip's popularity declined because of more strict enforcement of the laws and police stops because of minor infrac- tions, Douglas still remained a great place to flirt and find some women, said one young male. During the cooler months of the year, some indi- viduals had parties at their and bruisin' homes or in a clubhouse of an apartment complex such as Kingston Cove or Westport. The parties at the lakes fAfton and Cheneyj are better because the cops won't run you off, there's more room and you can get sick anywhere you want to! said one partygoer. lt's a good time to see your friends and meet new people, especially the new sophomores. They seem kind of shyf' said another. Parties are fantastic! What a great time to socialize and get away from a hectic week of school, a senior said. I liked the Trails because it was out of the way and quiet, except for the music played by some stereos, but who minds music? was the philosophy of another. Movies have always been a great source of entertain- ment for young people. Some of the most popular were dance movies such as Flashdance, Footloose, and Breakin'. Other more mellow pictures included Against All Odds and Splash.'l On some weeknights, theatres offered movies for S1 as opposed to the normal S4 admission charge to bring out the business which might otherwise stay at home. According to some stu- dents, however, nothing compared with the fun of summer. Swimming, tan- ning and riding bikes were all at the tops of the lists of young adults on the last few days of school. Cooler weather would return only too soon and the parties, the people, the fun and excitement of a new school year would begin 3Qain. fAlyne Lankl lim Parties are always a big social thing around a high schools, and the senior stag, a particularly big event, attracts small groups for socializing.

During Spirit Week hats were allowed in classrooms, but Darren managed to wear his everywhere he went at other times as well. so 'v' , f'v' ' , O 0 ' .fs-M-' Q . - jst -frti1M1,,,.,u,,M9w 'L X
