Senior Paula Daws comments, “I like Young Life because you can always be yourself.

It is a place to have fun!” - Launa Hurst, senior. by: Laurie Boydstun Young Life is a nationwide Christian Youth Organization which meets every Wednesday night with sponsor Curtis Barfield and other leaders. Young Life is a place where Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors can join together to meet friends, sing songs, participate in skits, and share common beliefs about Jesus Christ. Senior Sandy Clark says, “It's some- where you can go and have fun with friends.” Kim Rainey, Senior, states, “Young Life is the best thing that ever happened to me. No one has to try to impress anyone. You can be yourself and have fun doing it!” Many people who have never attended Young Life consider it to be just a social event. However, when a person leaves Bill Gelsthorpe and Roland Romero help lead the songs. C. Bell photo Young Life crowd watches skit. C.

Every weekend we’re faced with the same problem: There's nothing to do in Alief! Students do the “usual” like going out to eat. Favorite places of Elsik students were “Gattis”, “Chilis”, “Frys”, and the ever popular “McDonalds”, and “Taco Bell”. Movies are usually a good source of entertainment, but not many people arc willing to shell out $4.50 per shot; therefore, the $2 midnight and matinee shows have become increasingly popular. For the more bold is the activity of clubbing: a favorite activity of many seniors. Clubs offer dancing and major socializing. Most popular with the “clubbers” were Faces, Confettis, Z-Street, Rockers, Fools Gold, and Wild Wild West. For those unfortunate souls who fail to meet the requirement of “proper” I.D., “Texas Breeze” and “Rock-abilies” offer teennight. A new form of nightlife is the art of nabbin which consists of placing various articles ofjunk in the yards of others. The object of Nabbing is to see who can “nab” the most unusual item without getting caught. Still fairly popular arc the old standbys: Rocky Horror Picture Show and video game rooms By far, the most popular way to spend the weekend in Alief is Partying. Though not known for much else, Alief is known for its parties. You can be sure that every Friday and Saturday night “someone” will have a party and “everyone” will be there! After the parties end or are broken up by the ever present cops of Alief, students make a beeline to “Jack-In-The-Box”, the most “Another Tough Yearbook Assignment! Ruthic Garcia.
