Time on Spalding 8t Downtown: hands The lights are much brighter there. You can for- get all your troubles, forget all your cares. So go down- town. Things'll be great when you're downtown . . . Everything's waiting for you. The words from the 1960's song by Petula Clark aren't exactly what come to mind when the average Spalding student thinks of downtown. School, tests, and studying are more likely to be asso- ciated with that section of Peoria. However, class only lasts until 2:20 P.M., and many students find that they have time on their hands. Some have to wait for a city bus, but that's only about half an hour. Others wait for their parents to get off work in order to get a ride home. Wasting time until a late basketball practice begins or until it's time for bingo keep more students down- town. Trying to use their extra time constructively, stu- dents sometimes go to the Peoria Public Library to study. However, an almost equal number go there to talk and look at the latest issues of Vogue and GO. In the winter, everyone goes there to keep warm. During more pleasant weather, students can be seen walking through the courthouse plaza and Ful- ton Plaza, buying a snack at the Nut House, eating ice cream outside World Drug, and browsing in shops in- side the Jefferson Bank building. Peoria's downtown isn't just a backdrop for Spald- ing's social and academic life. For many it is an inte- gral part of their high school years. . W-,J 1 'N V -. .gc X4-X tg- tf- In .
