Music popular form of relaxation For most students 2:35 signaled the end of another tiring day at school. Kids gathered up their books, fought their way to the door, and then re- membered it was Friday! Anxious for their weekend to begin, weary students had much to look forward to. Many went to movies such as Poseidon Adventure, Deliver- ance, Sounder, and The Lady Sings the Blues, or to the midnight movies, which proved an alternative to buzzing around town. Rock groups such as Alice Cooper, Santana, Chicago, R.E.O. Speed- wagon, and Seals and Crofts appeared at the Coliseum, The Lan- tern, and The Embassy, where kids could dance or just sit back and listen to the music. Although students were usually look- ing for an exciting little hideaway, they always seemed to end up at McDonald ' s under the supervision of the friendly weekend police officer. |v- Nl N -.- ' t . y 16 — After hours

Generals active as area backers Young people becoming more and more interested in the welfare of their surrounding communities and in the lives of other people, as well as in governmental affairs, made a special effort to become involved and be heard. Many Wayne High School students par- ticipated in the Walk for Develop- ment, the Bike-a-thon, canned food and clothing drives, and in collecting sheets to make bandages. Seniors donated blood to the Red Cross and were given the honor of becoming Junior Rotarians to broaden their education in specific areas of busi- ness. Along with these various community projects, students attended many campaign rallies where they could listen and decide which candi- date supported their own views.
