Of course everybody had their favorite ‘“hang- out.”” As soon as seniors turned 18, e@ they headed for 4400. Punk rockers, who were brave enought, went to The ® Wave. Obviously the Freshman ruled Zero’s. A typical Friday night for CHS e students was going to a football or basketball game. Later, students © went for pizza or a dance at West- ern Branch (believe it or notl). Others went to the Fun Spot or rode e down to the beach to “cruise the strip.” Clara Wright spent her Fridays at Wornoms visiting Billy. Most students agreed Fridays were for their friends and Saturdays for e their dates. Going to a movie or out to dinner were typical dates. CHS couples were seen at Carlos e Murphys and Chi Chis. Some CHS students got adventurous © and travelled to thei r favorite college or university. Everyone came back to school on Mondays rav- e ing about the “wild parties” at Tech, William and Mary, UVa., and © Radford. Susan Johnson and Brian Veal enjoyed weekends at Tech. Katy Walden “wa-hoo-wahed” at UVa. e Beth Resolute boogeyed at William and Mary, and Valerie White “threw ® down” at Radford. @ sunday was a great day to wind down and watch sports on television @ or go outside with your friends to play football or softball. Churchland students found a vari- e ety of places to go and things to do in 1983. 19 College football. Because of the NFL strike, students were reduced to watching college football. 12 NIGHTLIFE

14 FASHION “Hey bud, why’s your hair green?” Questions like this rang through the halls of Churchland. Teachers as well as students had to live with the great technological advances of the punk rockers. Wild hair was not the only characteristic of a new wav- er, though. A new style of shoes known as “vans” canvassed the feet of almost every student. To top off a gentleman’s attire for the evening, he usually donned a eight and one half by thirteen inch generic brand purple bandana for his neck. For the female type punkers, the shorter mini-skirts came back into style. There was only one minor stipulation: if they didn’t have polka-dots, plaids, or even stripes on them, you didn’t wear them. Color- ed tights and white sneakers com- pleted this mod outfit. Overall the punkers devastated the school, but the preppies, geeks, and southern rockers were still there. The so-called preps donned Ralph Lauren, better known as “Polo”, as part of their new attire. Replacing the numerous shades of green this year were purple and pink. The only thing that did not change was the prep’s best friend, the topsider. Last but not least in our score of fashions were the great rednecks and geeks. For the 746th year the usual attire was Levi's (slightly faded), an OP t-shirt (with surfboards on it of course) and the famed desert boots to cover a surfer’s cut feet. So now we can look forward to a fu- ture of new styles and changes. Who knows what totally awesome and “narly” clothes await us in the ninth dimension. Whips and chains. Tommy Duckwall dresses in the punkers’ attire. FASHION Short skirts. Every fashionable girl’s wardrobe includes a mini-skirt even though it can not be worn to school. Colonial days?
