Concerts, movies, restaurants, and game rooms atracted people who thrived on night life. While parents were under the assumption that school dances lasted until 12:30 or later, students cruised up and down Beamer Road looking for excitement. The field was a popular sight for hanging out or just hiding out, until ihtLie construction began on a new apartment complex. If the everyday sights and sounds of Sagemont could not fill the need to live, one could always go to hear the latest in rock at the Coliseum or Summit. The morning after the Journey, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, Hall SL Oates, Foreigner, J. Giles, Devo, Police, Cars, Loverboy or Rolling Stones, students sported T- shirts as evidence of their attendance. Many such T-shirts could be seen in the senior panoramic picture, being taken the morning after the Stones concert. This appeared to have been the most popular through- out the year, despite its being held on a Thursday night. Dates were also on the agenda for excitement. Those on a budget, or who drove Momls or Dad's cars, usually went for the pizza and flick routine, while the big wheels and deals could afford the trip into town for dinner or a play. The Theater Under the Stars received an unusual amount of support from students in this area, due to the presentation of The King and I which brought a Broadway star, Yul Brenner, to the Music Hall. Whatever the taste for life one had, it could be relished at the expense of a few hard-earned dol- lars, and the effort it took to get there, and the students here certainly showed the spirit for getting around.

'P 'Inman-my Days in and out of school were often spent trying to think of things to do either for a weekend of the holidays. Most students lived for either or both, and a major portion of their time and thought went into planning memor- able adventures. The beach was the most popular Hot spot',. Other hot favorites were Bay Area Park, and Beverly Hills ur Lzfe swimming pool. Cool weather brought thoughts of camping and backpacking, or skiing vacations in Colorado. This gyear winter held a special surprise for everyone in Sagemont. Snow began falling during school around noon on Dec. 16 and continued all throught the night causing a significant amount of ice to collect on many cars and lawns in the area. School wasn't V closed and students' fears were confirmed Thursday after- noon when school had let out: no more snow was left to play in. Christmas holi- days followed the big blizzard by three days. Daytime hours were filled with rushed shopping or waiting on shoppers while Alth of the baseball team, Marc Gonzales spends his daylight hours demonstrating his basketball skills. ough a member Solving the Rubik's cube became a national obsession that consumed many endless hours of nerve-racked practice. Here students compete in the .tournment at Astroworld. Tresa Philpott and Robin Glenn play in the snow drifts down by San Jacinto. working in department stores in the malls. Many students were able to boost their annual income by putting in forty hours or more a week before returning to school on Jan. 4. As 'usual the holidays always seemed too short. Spring arrived without great . notice, until the temperatures got up to the 70's during the day. Then the attendance office went wild trying to keep students out of the sun and in school. The stiff competition began for the best tan in town, and many layers of skin were sacrificed to vicious sunburns. Senior Prom marked the beginning of the end, and few seniors had the time for playing outdoors, or even seeing the light of day as they struggled to get everything finished before graduation. When the weather turned sour, many students spent spare time catching up on the sleep they had lost during the week, while others slept no matter what the weather.
