You either think you're going through your second childhood, or back into the 50's. You may even think you're color blind. The excitement started on Wednesday when everyone dressed up for Kiddie Day. No! People weren't going through their second childhood, but instead they were spirited students taking part in this event. Everyone came dressed as little boys and girls with their teddy bears or lollipops. They once again wore their hair in pigtails and wore short dresses with bobby socks. The guys wore their nice little Sunday suits, or their rough and tough clothes with their baseball caps. Some even carried around their blankets or baby dolls. On Thursday the real fun began when everyone made the days of the 50's come alive. The guys acting as Fonzie, with their hair greased back and their black leather jackets on, walked around saying they were the coolest of all. Teachers and students both the poodle skirts, cash- brought back Ayyyy. Senior Ronald Y'Barbe V strates his cool by stepping into locker on fifties day. and ducktails.

Some tape recorders of 50's music on it, and would play it as they walked to their classes. But it didn't stop at that. Friday was red and white day. Everywhere you looked, you saw red and white objects all over the place. People were wearing red and white pants and blouses, hats, socks, shoes, ribbons, and even gloves. Spirit week brings everyone back to life. It doesn't come everyday: but, when it does everyone enjoys it just to get out of the everyday routine. .nk ,fe X 9? ,QM Looking good.

Whos rharnwonders Russell McNeal as he peers into the headlights of an arriv- ing car at the Minimax parking lot. hangouts Just hanging After a day full of teachers, tests and heavy homework assignments, many stu- dents find that they need a place to un- wind and socialize with their friends. Although there are almost as many of these socializing places as there are people, certain hangouts are more popular than others. One hangout that a lot of people frequent is the Minnimax parking lot. A person unfamiliar with the area might wonder, if he passed by that great expanse of pavement, what kind of accident had happened, or what exciting action was taking place. Anyone living in this neighborhood would know better, that nothing was really going on just a bunch of kids from MacArthur with nothing better to do, is a fitting description of the almost nightly gatherings that take place less than 10 feet from one of the busiest streets in Northeast Houston. According to Rhonda Fudge, lt's just a place for friends to get together and talk. Greenspoint Mall has created a hangout for many people. You just walk around the mall with your date and say hello to your friends or maybe go to a movie, says Lana O'Ouinn. I know people who drag race on Rankin Road. . . it's pretty rough out there, though, stated Mark Kemp, and there are always a group that likes going out to Lake Houston. Other popular hangouts include Uncle Sam's and Western Swing, which are clubs, and Lord Jim's a disco. Students usually gather at these hangouts on Friday and Saturday nights to listen to music, dance, and be with their friends. Commenting on students and the reasons why they flock together socially, Ms. Janet King said, They need security . . . they feel safer. 3.l'OUl'1d David Mowery Kelly discover new ways to supe up their own rigs.
