Dating . . . it ' s a big part of a teen- agers life. It ' s a little nerve racking at times but once you get used to it it ' s not so bad. Guys, do you remember the time you asked a girl out and girls do you remember the first time you went out? It might have gone something like this. Guys . . . it ' s Thursday morning and you still haven ' t gotten up the nerve to ask that special person out for Friday night. The afternoon has arrived quick- ly and time is starting to run out. After putting it off until the end of school, you rush over to her locker with sweatty palms and knocking knees. You get up the nerve to start a conver- sation, but how do you bring up going out? After dwelling on it for awhile you think to yourself . . . what if the an- swer is no? Boy will I look like a fool. But luckily enough after beating around the bush she says yes, and you realize it wasn ' t so bad after all. Girls . . . finally-you got that date you wanted and you ' re getting ready for the big night. Everything seems to go wrong. You just can ' t find a thing to wear and your hair won ' t lay in place. The butterflies in your stomach cause you to skip dinner. But you manage to get yourself together and you wait ner- vously downstairs for your date to ar- rive. The doorbell rings and as your parents answer it you dash upstairs to Pretend you ' re not ready. After giving him a few minutes, you walk down- stairs hoping that you won ' t suddenly fall flat on your face. But you make it down alright and as soon as you catch your dates eyes, you realize that he ' s just as nervous as you are. Dating . . . there are aiot of hassles involved but once you ' re past the first step it ' s smooth sailing the rest of the way. 1: A quiet walk in tine woods gives Stan Roari and Beth Buries a cliance to tall . 2: School is out but the day has just begun for Mike Raymond and Kathy Dyer. 3: Soda Sippers . . .

SPECIAL RIDES Young Drivers And Fans Hit Tine Road students came to school on bus- es, walked, drove their cars, or rode their bikes. Yet, they needed trans- portation for other things once they got there. For instance, many people took advantage of the opportunity to ride the fan buses to the out-of-town football and basketball games. Members of the girls block section were the most common fan-bus rid- ers, but the cheerleaders, boys and girls who weren ' t in block rode along as well. The trips to North Montgomery and Rensselaer proved to be very rowdy, as the ju- nior girls initiated the freshmen on the bus, by dusting them with tal- cum powder. Other times, the fans practiced yells they would be doing at the game. Frequent cries of Who are, who are, who are we . . . bounced off the windows of Mr. Ray Loepker ' s schoolbus. The caravan to the West Lafayett — CC football game was a great deal of fun for the students. Twelve people crammed into the back of Mike MacDonald ' s Ford pick-up; others squeezed into cars. The cars were decorated with blue and white crepe paper, and the students could be seen hanging out the windows yelling, Knights are NUMBER ONE! On the way to the game, Mike MacDonald got lost. A policeman pulled him over, and asked him why there were so many people riding in his truck. When Mike got out to talk to him, the policeman questioned whether he was old enough to be driving. Finally, after an explanation about the caravan, he let them con- tinue their trip. The students also needed trans- portation to go on field trips. When the seniors went to Indianapolis to view the state legislature, and when the juniors visitied Conner Prairie, they rode on the Lafayette Catholic School buses. Transportation was a necessity in the lives of CC students. If it hadn ' t been for buses, carpools and sym- pathetic friends, a person could have missed much of the fun of be- ing in high school. 22 transportation
