Weekends Were Made For ... It’s Friday afternoon, sixth period, and ten minutes before the bell. Connie O’Don¬ nell is wondering how she’s going to get the car from her mom. Temple Jacobs is trying to get her curfew ex¬ tended to 1:30 for Liz Chase’s big party. Audrey Hinton thinks about going home and getting something to eat. Tina Brown anxiously awaits the ringing of the bell. Doreen Thornhill wishes sixth period would last longer, since she has field hock¬ ey practice after school. Mr. Pearson just “thanks God it’s Friday.” Responses from the Colonnade questionaire showed that weekends were spent doing various activities ranging from working, to partying, to just plain relaxing. Of those students polled, only 30% had jobs. The rest used the weekend for homework and or leisure activities, such as watching television and going to the movies. Students ranked M A S H as their favorite T.V. show and Endless Love as their favorite movie. Going out to eat, picnicing at Mt. Run Lake, partying and cruising proved to be the most fa¬ vored weekend events. So weekends were made for CCHS students. is it? Could it be? Yes, it’s Jim Hockman in a Batmobile! Jim says that he doesn’t really get his kicks by riding the Batmobile outside of Jamesway, located in the Southgate Shopping Center. It raised looks of disbelief and a few laughs though. Some say laughs and good times are what weekends are all about. During a hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Temple, Bonnie, and John |acobs stopped to pose for a picture. According to John: “hiking in the mountains is a fantastic way to get away from it all, but it also requires a great deal of energy.” When asked what was the best part of hiking up the mountain, Bonnie replied: “Reaching the top.” Tf ' you are cruising around Mountain Run Lake one weekend, you are sure to see some familiar faces. At the lake, Tommy Cubbage, Ron Leftwich, and Kevin Tories carry on a conversation. According to Lisa Hicks: the lake is not only for fishing and picnicing, it is also a decent place to get together , with friends and party”. ' - - 1 • JL. Tm .« A ittf ; ’f if at £3 6 Weekends

Money Spending money is fun. Everyone in our school spends money whether it be for lunch or something new for that constantly broken-down jalopy. The Colonnade staff has compiled a list of costs for items from 1979 in comparison with 1981 prices. It is all too apparent that inflation presently affects our everyday lives greatly. Money even makes decisions. It can decide if a person goes to certain restaurants or wears certain clothes. As life progresses, it’s becoming more important to everyone. But no matter how much money a person has, it never seems to be enough. Below are a list of prices students would pay in 1981, compared to 1979. All prices are averages. 1979 1981 A soft drink .30 .45 Big Mac .90 1.15 Gallon of gas .70 1.30 A single album 6.89 8.99 1 ticket to the movies 2.50 3.50 6-pak of beer 2.35 2.50 class ring 70.00 100.00 concert ticket 8.50 15.00 School lunch every¬ day for 12 yrs. 1080.00 1836.00 After a busy day at school, Joe Brakowleckl likes to stop by McDonalds for a ‘Big Mac” and fries. 8 Money
