Weekends: Dances, Friends Fun What are weekends? Those glorious days off from the routine schedule of Mon- day through Friday. The most important thing about weekends is ... NO SCHOOL! To many it was a time to relax, be with friends, cruise through town, and a time to just do as you wished. Weekends were getting away from it all, as the worry of homework and tests were forgotten until 8; 15 Monday morning. Many students had the op- portunity to help or par- ticipate on weekends with school events like working in the concession stands during football and basketball seasons, or helping decorate for weekend dances or prac- ticing for the school play. As warm weather ap- proached, many students spent time going to the lake or basking in the sun. Others enjoyed going to the famous nightspots around town like McDonalds or Hammonds parking lot just to chat with friends. The drive-in was another spot where many turned up. Even with the high price of gasoline a few still drove to Ft. Wayne to see a movie or attend a concert. But for the unlucky ones who had to work or stay home because no transpor- tation was available, discovered that it wasn ' t so bad staying home watching their favorite T.V. show or H.B.O. For most students the weekends had its advan- tages over the long school week with many kids making plans all ready on Monday morning, giving them something to look forward to throughout the week.

Prom Features ' ' Best of Times ' ' Evening gowns, tuxedos, corsages, boutonnieres and all the accessories are a few of the ways to describe prom. The gorgeous evening was filled with excitement and glamour. This year Bellmont ' s prom was entitled The Best of Times and featured the band Breakaway. Prom was a little different as a catered in meal with a delicious menu of ham, bak- ed potatoes, green beans, salad and dessert bar, punch and dinner rolls were served. The dinner began at 7:00 p.m. The dance started at 9:00 and lasted until midnight. After the dance the movie, Love At First Bite was shown in the auditorium. The commons was decorated as a beautiful garden setting of hanging baskets filled with flowers, plants, a gazebo and a foot bridge built by Mark Walchle and Rich Shamerloh. The pictures were taken by Af- folder Photography. It was a truly romantic, fun-filled evening for those who attended and helped decorate. Nikki Secaur and Cindy Macklin take a break from dancing to get some punch and to chat. Teresa Miller admires her silk rose as her date Roger Wilder looks on.
