by Marge Goodwin The dark, cool theater is filled with whispering sounds of people and the but- tery smell of popcorn. A young couple searches for two isolated seats. The hor- ror movie reaches a tense moment and the girl grabs her date's arm. When the movie ends, the couple laughs about the scary points in the movie. The boy then walks the girl to the doorstep and that’s the end of a perfect date. Some fairy tales always sound this way. but in reality, dating is a little bit differ- ent. Many high school students enjoy healthy dating relationships, but not all students think it should be a major part of their high school days. Paula Federle. ju- nior, commented, Dating in high school depends on if you're planning to go to col- lege or not. Going to college has a lot of opportunities to date, so it’s not very im- portant.” Also, some are very skilled at the dat- ing game. Suave, smooth actions to lure mates for a night on the town takes prac- tice. Dating at this age is important. You have to start sometime. It builds up confi- dence and it helps gain experience. stat- ed Senior Scott Mote. Although dating now seems to be an advantage, it does have its bad points. It is not all fun and games to some. Sophomore Traci Lay expressed her views. Dating has the disadvantage of being tied down. And sometimes jealousy and expecting too much out of someone creates prob- lems.” To help develop the responsibilities of dating and marriage, the family relations class almost” had a wedding in the Rob- bins Auditorium. As a new tradition, the wedding had been pre-planned and set up by the students, with help from Mrs. Karen Nading. Exchanging the fake vows were Seniors Jason Ruble and Linda Elkins, with Reverend Bill Eaton as officia- tor. The hands-on involvement helped them realize the stress and high cost of a wedding. Back to the night-life and dating, it still has its advantages. It develops new friendships and social groups-, still, one thought remains common to each couple. It helps you grow up. responded Senior Junior Moffatt. y he wedding party looks on as Max Moore gives away the bride in the ceremonial procedure of the wedding. £ onfirming the marriage is Reverend William Eaton, minister of Garden City Church of Christ.
