Downtown shops got into the holidoy spirit with storefront decorations. Memorial Park glows at night; it is a favorite place for couples to sit and talk. Dan Estadt ' s was a favorite stopping ground for many a Clarion sports enthusiast.

Action movies dominated the movie- going scene in the fall. . . . doing your laundry and hitting The Tavern for a few during the rinse cycle? Whatever it is that is most memo- rable to you. Clarion is a quaint little town that has a special meaning for all of us during our four years spent here. -Donna Liotus 21

HAT IS IT THAT YOU WILL RE- MEMBER MOST ABOUT MAIN STREET IN CLARION: IS IT . . . . . the old man who sits on the bench in front of the Loomis day after day? . . the tempting aroma of Bob ' s Subs as you walk by or, better yet, those late night sub runs? . . the store window displays as they change from season to season? . . the white lights on the trees at Christmastime and the carols being played as you walk down the street? . . the outside clocks in town (Mellon Bank ' s, First Federal ' s, and the courthouse ' s) that all say a different time? . . those late night munchy runs to 7-Eleven and the Uni-Mart? . . all the girls that walk through town and always stop to look in the jewelry store windows? . . bargain nights at the Garby and the Orpheum on Monday and Tuesday nights? . . the Mardi Gras that never seems to close? 20 Our Town Clancy Ann ' s adds to the skyline of Main Street.

Clarion ' s Hot Spots he Big 21 — it ' s finally here, the age we ' ve all been waiting for. Weeks before that magical birthday, visions of 25(:; drafts and three-for-one specials dance through our Roost-bound minds. You ' ve heard the stories, you ' ve read the ads, and now it ' s time to experience it for yourself — Clarion ' s nightlife. So for all of you who are in the mood to flash that ID, here is a quick summary of Clarion ' s best watering holes. THE LOOMIS: The Loomis is perhaps best known for its calm, sedate at- mosphere. It ' s the place to be when carrying on a conversation is impor- tant. The Loomis has a happy hour that can ' t be beat: 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with two-for-one drinks. Veggies and dip or spicy Mexican snacks are provided on Fridays to odd some- thing substantial to that two-for- one liquid diet. Another added attraction of the Loomis is that it seems to be a favor- ite watering hole for many members of the C.U.P. faculty. It ' s interesting to see how readily they shed that classroom image for the let-the- good-times-roil atmosphere of the Loomis. THE UNIVERSITY INN: T he U.I. has made Tuesday night one to look for- ward to. Mug Night ' s popularity is not only evident by the huge crowds present, but also by the col- lection of mugs you see everytime you enter someone ' s apartment. While enjoying Beat-the Clock on Wednesday nights, it occurs to the patrons that the charm of U.I, lies in its similarity to those long gone basement — rec room parties we attended as high school students. JOHNNY B ' S: If you ' re looking for the biggest variety around, Johnny B ' s is probably the place for you. With its large video screen, live DJ, free prizes, and spacious dance floor, this is the closest thing to a real nightclub that Clarion offers. 22 Nightlife Chuck LIzza Jerry Haslett and John Basic join their friends at that ever-popular place.
