10lSlud9n! L I9 After five days of solid school work, students were ready to drop their academic inclinations and un- wind. Whether it was dancing, seeing a movie, having a pizza after the game or just taking it easy at the park, the student body could hardly wait to 'party.' The weekend offered a great varie- ty of nightlife activities from which the students could choose. Disco was still the rage for many aspiring dancers, while others simply enjoyed listening to the catchy music. The ever-popular Levee was a favorite hang out for many students, as were the local parks. Another weekend at- traction was the cinema. The countless number of movies playing locally gave the students a great ar- ray of possibilities for that special date. Nighttime fN I 3

Flfter School 'H- l I. At the sound of the anticipated 3:30 bell, anxious students were off and running. Afternoon dismissal was characterized by clamorous cor- ridors, crowded hallways and the banging of lockers. Outside, the sidewalks bustled with activity. Passing motorists could be seen patiently waiting in the school zone as students herded across the street. Horn blasts were familiar sounds as students and teachers alike made their way out of the parking lot. 3:30 was also a time for extra- curricular activities. Nearly all school-affiliated clubs and organiza- tions held their 'brief but important' meetings then. Major sports teams also utilized this time, working for hours to correct their weaknesses and develop new strategy. Members of the band, orchestra, choir, drama and journalism departments were also busy, often working into the late hours of the night. one-Students trickle out the Schuster Street exit at the sound of the 3:30 bell. two-Laura Pastrana and Abe Rosas dance to disco music at the Joske's Fashion show. three-Empty school buses wait on afternoon passengers.

Weeknights, of course, were not completely devoid of action. The school itself played host to several nighttime events. Several major sports organizations played their games on school nights, including volleyball, basketball and others. A new addition to the 'spirit boosters' were the Tiger Nights. At these, the PTA provided the food and both the band and the flag girls performed for entertainment. The Drama and Music Departments combined to provide ex- cellent weeknight entertainment with the production of 'Fiddler on the Roof? Homecoming Week featured the second annual 'Eve of the 'E'.' Nightlife was the time for students to recover from their educational an- xieties, though few actually rested. To most students, it was the time for letting go. one-The after-the-game crowd lives it up on a Friday night at Pizza Inn. two-Coaches Baker and Jarvis enjoy the barbeque at a Tiger Night. three-Laura Pastrana, Roxanna Pabon and Becky Showery gather around the refreshments at a Halloween masquerade par- ty. four-Tzeitel tSandra Saucedol and Motel fSean Brientl are married in a beautiful wed- ding ceremony in the production of 'Fiddler on the Roof.' five-Actors create a realistic bar- room scene in 'Fiddler on the Rooff six-ln honor of Homecoming, the field was lit up on 'Eve of the 'EZ' Student Lilel11
