It is 2:00 p.m., the bell has just rung, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and the whole afternoon lays ahead of you. So what exactly do you do? Walking out to your car, the bus, or whatever the case may be, you think to yourself how much time there is to mess around before Mom gets home. Homework is usually the last choice, and for those who don’t have a car, it looks like the television is going to be first on the schedule. But for those of us who do have a car, it’s time to make a decision. As the parking lot begins to empty, shouts are heard: ‘‘See you at Pearson’s!”” “‘Is everyone going to Spottswood today?” “‘Let’s take it up to the ‘Hills’ and play some ball today!”’ ‘‘Let’s go to Riverside Park.”’ People frequently congregated at these popular hangouts, sitting around just talking, playing basket- ball, throwing frisbees and relaxing. Those that drive around the town and waste gas might pass some of the Rivermont Avenue walkers or see friends riding their bikes along Boons- boro Road. Many afternoons were spent, believe it or not, in the school. Practices for plays or sports took up every afternoon for those involved, requiring much dedication and sacri- fternoons Two o'clock — time to break away . . . fice. For others, time was spent in a more constructive manner — earning money for clothes, weekends, and even spending money for college. Even though work can be a pain in the neck sometimes, getting in the way of the bestlaid plans, but it all seems worthwhile when the check is placed in the hand. Afternoons — the time when we break out of the confines of the brick walls of this educational institution. Different people spend them in different ways for different reasons, but all try to have a good time.

30 Nightlife FLICKERING NIGHTLIFE” “MAN, THERE'S NOTHING TO DO IN THIS TOWN!” “HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANYTHING GOING ON?” “DO YOU HAVE A DATE TONIGHT?” “NO, I'M GOING OUT WITH THE GIRLS TONIGHT.” ‘Man, there’s nothing to do in this town!” “‘Have you heard of anything going on?”’ ‘‘Well, I think Greg (Herbie) Harris is having people over after 10:30.” ‘“‘What about the Trent’s, they usually have a celebration after the big game.’’ ‘‘We could check Hawethorne, but I doubt anyone will be there after what happened last night.”’ Does this sound familiar? Do you find yourself repeating these lines weekend after weekend? If so, you are not alone; every student searches for that one party to flicker their night life. Whether it be the shopping center, Miller Park, Stop-In, River Ridge Mall, or McDonalds — there are always people “hanging” out waiting for the plans. “Do you have a date tonight?” ““No, I’m going out with the girls tonight.”’ Every weekend one night is reserved for either the girls night or the boys night out. Piling into the cars, with little leg room, the radio blasts out tunes from The Outfield, Falco, U2 or whatever the preference for the thril- ling night in Lynchburg. When the night starts off with dinner, a movie, or just congregating at the local hangout, one can consider this a successful night out on the town. But some nights when there’s little left to do and the night is still young, friends in their separate cars end up following each other around checking out any possible excitement. The latest sign of true boredom is carrying around four rolls of Charmin in the backseat; they sit there waiting to be rolled around that certain enemy car (or cars, as was the case at Kent Jacksons — boys poker night!). ‘Hey! I’ve got a great idea, we could head out to the latest spot in the “burg” — NIGHTLIGHTS.”’ Chris Kughn a frequent visitor says, “It’s a cool way to dance and rock the night away!’’ Nightlights is a teenage nightclub which jams the latest hits on a strobing dance floor. Whatever the case may be for weekend activities, every teenage student has their choice of nightlife, but the problem is finding it!
