That’s entertainment! With the building of the Saginaw Civic Center in 1971, a new type of area entertainment was discovered by residents...concerts by nationally known artists. Young and old alike enjoyed their favorite tunes sung by their favorite performers. It seemed that 1978 was the year of the rock concert. During the summer, the young crowd heard Foreigner sing their number one hit, “Hot Blooded” and rocked as Styx sang recent hits like “Blue Collar Man” and old favorites like “Lady and “Come Sail Away.” Fall arrived, bringing the Doobie Brothers, the Commodores and Hall and Oates. Arthur Hill students anxiously awaited each of these events, saving their money for tickets costing from $6.50 to $10. The fans of classical music were able to hear local performers, the Saginaw Symphony, throughout the year in the Center's Heritage Theater. The first concert of 1979, Rush proved to be a real crowd pleaser, with many Arthur Hill students in attendance. But the biggest event for students came on April 10 at their own school. The world-renownd trumpeter Maynard Ferguson played for Hillites as well as other Saginaw residents in the Arthur Hill Auditorium. Spon- sored by the Music Boosters, the concert brought a different flavor to the performances at Arthur Hill. 29

Whatcha doin’ tonight ? Dating was a very important part of the average teenagers lifestyle this year, just as it probably had been when their parents were younger. Although a number of years had passed, things really hadn’t changed much. Movies, dances and athletic events were still popular places to take dates. This year, however, movies were a little risque and discos were the place to dance. Dating, however, did undergo some changes. In the past, the proper date invitation came from the boy. But since the beginning of the equal rights campaign, girls were less frightened to make the first move. Whatever the method chosen, some- how dates did take place quite frequently. Girls still spent hours getting dressed, curling their hair and trying to look their absolute best. Boys still were nervous at the thought • of meeting a girl’s parents for the first time. 30
