At a Young Life meeting the cafeteria. Young Life is a nation-wide non-de- mminational club offering a chance experience the Christian way of life. Although there was no official uembership, the club drew approxi- tely 150-200 people to the meet- s each week. It ran for two sepa- e sessions, one each semester. Don orcester, '76 graduate, along with Even volunteer leaders, directed the emblage in skits, singing, and shar- ing of personal testimonies, as well as have class competitions. The leaders hayrides, picnics, road rallies, and an Olympics night. I like Young Life because students get to socialize with other people in a Christian atmosphere, said senior Mike Lalley. There were three requirements to be met to become a volunteer leader. First, candidates must have been out of high school for at least one year. Second, they must have completed a 10-week training class where they learn to listen to the problems of teens and proceed to counsel them. Last of all, they had to spend an en- tire semester visiting Young Life clubs in the Phoenix area. It's a great experience. They have camps, weekend games, and they also are really neat and they bring out ex- citing things for everyone to do, said sophomore Chris Kireopoulos. A Thanksgiving weekend retreat to Prescott Pines offered students a chance to further their involvement. Volleyball, softball, and innertube races were a few of the activities held. Students from other high schools in the valley also attended the camp. Being available to students at Coronado, to their lives, not only on a spiritual level, but being there for all areas whether mentally, socially or whatever, said Worcester when sum- ming up his Christian outlook of the club, is just a great way for me, as well as the rest of the leaders, to say - 'Hey, we care?

You better take me to the heart of that night life. 77 By Lisa Buterbaugh Practically everyone gets caught up in the excitement of night life. Students escape with friends from routine pressures to find whatever entertainment attracts them. Some of the most popular spots students frequented were Round Table Pizza, the Scottsdale UA5 movie theaters, the Arizona State University football games, electronic game rooms, and parties held at friends' houses. A survey reflected that students felt homework and parental control directly affected opportunities to go out evenings. Social activities were not halted by these limitations, but merely restricted. Students seemed to place as much importance on their night life as on BRILLIANTLY ILLUMINATED to at- tract evening outers, the UA5 movie theater in the Civic Center Plaza drew scores of students.
