S ocial Life Students of all classes find ways to enjoy free time Whether freshmen, soph¬ omores, juniors, or seniors, all students found their own way to spend free time. Summer 1985 proved to be an exciting time for most. Students with access to cars went to the beach regularly to improve their tans. Many also went to Great America for a day and experienced The Eagle, The Demon, and The Edge. Some also took trips to Chicago to spend the day window shopping with friends and pigging out on Gino ' s East Pizza. The Italian, Serbian, and Greek fests were also heavily attended by stu¬ dents and proved to be a highlight of the summer. During the year students demonstrated pride in the school by attending football and basketball games. Many students attended post¬ game sock-hops for a chance to relax with friends. On weekends students spent time at Southlake Mall shopping for the latest fash¬ ions or just enjoying the crowds and the windows. Many also went to South- lake Cinema to catch the hottest movies like St. El¬ mo ' s Fire, and Back to the Future. As the cold weather gradually subsided, many went to the Y W Drive-In to see the latest flicks. Al¬ most all looked forward to spring break. A few stu¬ dents were fortunate enough to go to such places as Florida, California, or Ha¬ waii. One of the most memo¬ rable times of my senior year was my trip with Anne Marie Kammann to Hawaii over spring break, said se¬ nior Karen Wise. Spring and winter breaks gave all students a chance to indulge their favorite pas¬ times, to travel, to party with friends, and to visit their favorite spots.

THE BULLDOG FACE on a Homecoming float exemplifies the feel¬ ings of most Crown Point fans toward the opposition, Munster. The aggressive attitude proved successful as the Bulldog team pre¬ vailed. BULLDOG FULLBACK DAN DE- GANI gains yardage on a first down run before a Munster Mustang tack¬ led him. The Dogs defeated Munster 27-0 for a triumphant evening. THE INCLEMENT WEATHER on the night of the parade caused many organizations to change their appar¬ el. The Royal Regiment opted to wear warm street clothes instead of their new uniforms.
