BEIIEVIIIE Is there really such a thing as life in the fast lane in Belleville? Some may say no. but they just don’t know where it’s at. There is always something to do if you are willing to look hard enough. Sometimes there is more to do than you have time for, and other times you have to work at having a good time. Some of the main points of interest around Belleville include the two movie theatres downtown for the Eas- tenders and the Quad Cinema and Skyview Drive-in located in the west end. When there is nothing better to do. people with nice cars, old cars, fast cars, slow cars, and even people without cars, can be seen hanging out cruising up and down Main Street. Occasionally, someone will have a well publicized party and herds of people will show up. Those are always a blast! For people who like to shop, you can always take a drive up to St. Clair Square in Fa irview Heights. Some people enjoy just hanging around at the mall on weekends. Of course, there is always good old Taco Bell, which is known as THE hangout for East Lancers. You can be sure to see just about anyone and everyone on a night out at Taco Bell. I’m sure there are lots of other things going on all the time around the area that I haven’t even mentioned. So all you dead heads that are always complaining about how boring Belleville is. get out there and try a night out in the fast lane and experience just how much fun Belleville can be!

IN II I MAGIC NNGDCM This is the time of year that every¬ one, looks forward to Loyalty WeekI Never is there a time when so many activities are wedged into one week. These activities include phantoming, Powder Puff Olympics, float building, the parade, dress up days, and to top it all off, the Loyalty Week Football Game. Usually, there is an activity for just about everybody, and just about everyone participates. On Monday, Loyalty Week starts off with an assembly to announce the Queen and court candidates for this year. Also, the first contest for the Powder Puff Olympics is held during the assembly for all of the students to enjoy. Monday was Lancer T-shirt day. Everyone who bought one wore it that day. Tuesday was MTV day, a day when people dress like their favorite rock stars. And again, float decoration was held after school for judging in Friday’s parade. Wednesday was Rival School Day. It was also Teacher Appre¬ ciation Day. On Thursday which was Walt Disney Day, many students dressed up like Disney characters. This was the last day to touch up the already completed floats. Flail decorat¬ ing was also done that night by the various school clubs. Friday was the day of the big finale. The assembly announced the winners of the Powder Puff Olympics, the float building, and hall decoration. School was let out at 12:30 so the students could watch the float parade go up East Main street. To cap off an incredible week, the Lanc¬ ers played and defeated Granite City in the traditional end of the week foot¬ ball game. As an encore, Saturday was the Halloween Dance. All in all, it was a pretty exciting week. 6 Lifestyles
