And that was how students spent their time away from class, whether it be atten- ding a football game, participating in Homecoming Parade festivities, or splitting a pizza at Mr. Gatti's. There were plenty of opportunities to socialize and more than enough people willing - it was an activity most teenagers excelled in.
