We Still Just Ride Around Teenagers in Adair County were given a few more things to do this year in the form of entertain- ment. The Sonic Drive-In pro- vided a new fast food service, an- other place to circle around, and it introduced Pickle-O's to a customer's vocabulary. Both young and old were excited when the Columbian Theatre re- opened. The theatre was under new management and because of a different “bookie” they were able to show a lot more popular movies. For the high school guys a new community organization was set up called the Junior Jay- cees. They held the Toys-for-Tots drive, helped with the Jaycee and WAIN haunted house, and spon- sored a disco dance. Probably the frequent disco dances sponsored by different groups and indivi- duals throughout the year were the most popular form of enter- tainment. While snow continued to alter plans throughout the win- ter, playing cards became a popu- lar pastime and a good opportuni- ty for friends to get together. But even with some new additions to our entertainment world, the ma- jority of teenagers still found rid- ing around the most popular thing to do in Columbia. The Junior-Senior prom gives several teen-agers a special occasion at which they can dance, dress formally, and make memories. 18 entertainment

To many, a prom may be just a formal dance or a tradition at the high school. Yet last May, many changed their ideas of the prom because of the splendor of a Southern Night. May 5, 1978, was a night that made a lasting impression as one of the highlights of the high school years. The band. Joshua, provided music to please almost everyone’s taste as sev- eral enjoyed dancing under the ‘‘starlit sky” in the flower garden. November 24, 1978, the gym once again took on a different look. This time it was the Fall Festival, sponsored by the FHA and Fine Arts clubs. Several booths were set up around the gym with the cake walks, haunted house, Mr. Ugly Legs con- test, crowning of the Fall Festival Queen, and the club talent show highlighting the night.
