Finding Time An essential part of the lives of Rebels was that of their spare time. Rebels found it necessary to spend time with their friends. Other stu- dents offered their time and services to the community. Students filed out of DSF to jobs in various fields all over the city. Time, too, was given to hobbies, which served as a relax- ation from the hard work at school. This free time was a time to get away from the school work and to do some- thing that was truly enjoyed. Rebels spent most of their spare time with their friends. Some friends came and went but the true friends were there when they were needed. Many went to parties with “the gang” while others filled their Friday and Saturday nights at a movie with a bunch of their friends. Girls especially liked going to a Sunday afternoon tearjerker movie with a bunch of their friends so that they could cry as much as they wanted. 4 A quick chat. Between their classes, seniors Billy .. for Friends Neighborhood friends joined together on weekend afternoons to play a friendly game of football. Some groups met after work for pizza or headed to the Biograph Theater for their third or fourth viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight. Many times a special girl or boy was a best friend, always willing to listen or just be there. Couples went to football and basketball games, even to Richmond Rifles’ hockey games. School dances and sorority dances provided highlights to holidays and special seasons. Sometimes couples doubled dated with their close friends. Many were just happy to watch television at home. True friendship was very important. Owing rides and money was only a small part of friendship. Understanding and concern willingly given were often needed during hard times. Friends were always there with a shoulder to lean on or an open ear for difficulties. Chappell and Catherine Hastings discuss their plans for the upcoming weekend. 28 Friends
