nflation takes toll on With inflation ever on the rise, many people feel the squeeze, even teenagers. This situation has hit the teen- agers especially hard in the dating area. Ten years ago, the price of an average date was somewhere between five and ten dollars. By 1980, the cost had practically doubled. Though not all teenagers date every night, almost half of the guys and girls at Thornwood go out on a date at least once a week. Those with steady dates go out more. According to a survey of juniors taken during the year, a favorite place to go is the movies. A movie is great. You can sit, relax, watch your favorite flick, and enjoy the company of someone special all at the same time, stated Diane Mateja. Other weekend dates may include going bowling at a nearby alley or showing off at a popular roller rink. Some nights end up with a chewy cheese pizza with a crunchy crust and a pitcher of pop at Shakey's. ERA has almost intruded upon the dating scene. Many times a discussion has arisen between couples, disputing who pays the tab. Some of the girls would consider helping out with the guys footing the bill. A good percentage of the guys still prefer that the male pay. Some may allow the girls to treat, but not on a regular basis. Aside from the usual dates, there are prearranged dates, otherwise known as blind dates. Two people, usually matched up by friends, go out together without ever seeing or conversing with the person beforehand. Most teenagers have a phobia about blind dates. They would not risk a blind date unless they had some reli- able information first. Whether teenagers go on blind dates or not, most everyone has a good time. Practically every weekend the theatre and restaurants are packed with couples or groups of friends who are out to have a great time to- gether. hornwood udatersn A QV, I L 7 ,:7 19 s ' Mtn a-ww oaabw..

It's 7:30, your date is coming in 15 minutes, you have curlers in your hair, you're not dressed and you still haven't done your make-up. Maybe this was you at one time or another through the course of the year at Thornwood, preparing for one of the dances - Homecoming, Turnabout, or Prom. After weeks of searching for a date when the dance day finally arrives, the excitement may have turned to nervousness. This seems to be the general feeling among many female students. Junior Wendy Anderson experienced a severe case of the jitters. Sometimes I get nervous before a dance because I'm worried whether l'll look good or not. Although girls are prone to be more ner- vous, Dale Wallace gave a man's point of view: I some- times get nervous but it all depends how Well I know the girl. One reason most people get nervous is because of the amount of time it takes them to get ready. Mariza San- tiano exclaimed, It takes me about two-and-one-half hours, because I have to shower, and usually end up keeping him waiting. For many men the time spent preparing for the dance is much less than that of a female. Scott Harper elabo- rated, lt only takes me an hour to shower, shave, and polish my shoes. When leaving for the dance many students tried to avoid any disasters that might occur while dancing or socializing. Getting a run in a nylon or spilling punch on a suit was an embarrasing situation which teenagers prayed would not happen during the course of the even- ing. 244 J UNIORS Above: Dances are an important activity to many high school stu- dents. After many weeks of anxiety and excitement Diane Mateja puts on the final touches of her make-up.
