had a4 ave you heard of anything going on this weekend?” “No, that’s a stupid ques- tion. We live in Lynch- burg.” These words con- stantly rang through stu- dents’ ears as the week- end approached. People said there was never any- thing to do here, but ev- eryone always found something to do. So where was it that every- one went when they were not being hassled by schoolwork? Students could be found in a va- riety of places. Whether it was a Wednesday night or a beautiful Saturday, stu- dents managed to come up with some excuse to get away from homework and parents, and just get out of the house. BBrring! The phone rang and was immedi- ately picked up by an im- patient student hoping to take a break from the Giving her a hard time: John Piercy, Chip Tucker, Jimmy Thompson, and David Walker pester their waitress at Pearson’s 18 Hangouts quiet life. For some, the phone call was from Joe wondering if you wanted to blow off your Algebra homework and go play b- ball at Paul Munroe; for others it was Sue wonder- ing if you wanted to put your English reading aside and zip out to the mall to look for a prom dress. Many preferred to get as far away from Lynch- burg as possible and vis- ited friends at area col- leges. Others took a ride up the parkway to enjoy the fall colors or if it was nice catch some sun on the rocks at Petits’ Gap.

A bowl and a cheesy western would hit the spot, so the last stop before home was the T- Room. Some went a dif- ferent route and partied the night away at the hot spot known as the Rain- bow. Others spent it cruis- ing Ward’s Road or the Mall. On a nice day students could be found at Peaks- view or Riverside Parks playing some ball or just walking around enjoying the fresh air. On Sunday some hung out and en- joyed a live band at the Dell at Randolph Macon. Whether it was cruising Ward’s Road, dancing at the Rainbow, or parked on a dead end street, everyone seemed to find something to do. —Beth Hedrick Lauren Weigand Playing games: Allison Martin tries to win big money in the McDonald’s Monopoly game as Becky Johnson stares at her melt- ing ice cream.
