Socializing stirs up riight Life ' AWESOME! That is the main word that sums up Night Life at East High School. Night-time was the time the student body let out its craziness this year. Weekends seemed to be the major time for night life because students didn ' t have to get up early the next day. Weekends are a major part of high school life and this year they were as essential as ever. Weekends were a time when students could unwind and let go of all the tensions built up during the week. It was also a time to socialize and relax with friends. Some also found this a time to be with family and relatives. So many happenings went on throughout the year that there seemed never a dull moment. In the fall, football games took up many of the Friday nights, with food and parties afterward. On Saturdays dating, movies, scooping the loop and more parties took up most of the students ' time. During the winter months, boys ' and girls ' basketball games took over for football. Cruising around in cars was also a popular thing for those who had cars. In the spring, there were no Friday night games, so students had to think of things to do on two nights instead of one. Money played a major part in the students ' night life. With high prices, money didn ' t go as far and gas tanks became dry. Because of this, some students had to spend some nights at home watching TV or talking to friends on the phone. Some kids spent the evenings at their boy friends ' or girl friends ' houses. Whatever the students did, it was evident that they must have been having fun because as that clock hit 2:40 p.m. on Friday afternoon, you could see smiles on T students ' faces and you could feel the excitement in the air. Some of the students ' comments: Shannon Young, sophomore: Go out and have a good time. Cindy Niffenegger, senior: Go out with boyfriend, go to show, and go out to eat. Tom Harger, senior: Go to work and then scoop the loop. Mindl Palmer, junior: Sit at my boyfriends ' house if he doesn ' t have any money; otherwise, go out with him. Debbie Young, senior: Go out and party with my friends and try to pick up guys. Kenny Lyie, senior: I either go out with my lady or party with my friends. Brian James, junior: Go out with friends, eat, see a movie, scoop the loop and try to pick up women. Shelley Betts, freshmen: Spend time with family and friends. Without finding a date, senior JoeCummings must spend another Friday night at home, watching TV and pigging out
