The Picks of the Hicks Friday, Januay 30, 1987 6:31 — My radio alarm awakens me to KiSW playing Bon Jovi’s hit: “You Give Love a Bad Name.” I crawl out of bed and stumple to the shower to get ready for school for the last day of the week. Movies 1. Top Gun 2. Aliens 3. First Blood 4 The Rocky Horror Picture Show 5. Up in Smoke TV Shows 1. The Cosby Show 2. Moonlighting 3. Who’s the Boss 4. Growing Pains 5. Family Ties 7:55 — I pick up a friend in my beater ’77 Mazda GLC. I blew up the engine a month ago so that now it barely runs on three cylinders and it blows black smoke. It was once mistaken for an abandoned car and it was towed away. Most people at GFHS would rather drive cars from the 60’s: ’64 Vfe Mustang, ’67 Cougar, ’69 Chevelle. 8:05 — I arrive at school with just enough time to go to my locker, say “Hi” to a few friends and get to class; Mr. Camp’s CWP class. 8:40 — We’re talking about Iranscam in CWP, Ronald Reagan’s scan to seel weapons to Iran and divert the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua. President Reagan has only two years left in his second term. When he was elected, most of us were still in elementary school. 12:15 — After four periods and ten minutes of standing in line for lunch, I finally have my food: pizza, salad, and milk. 2:45 — The final bell of the day. Yeah! Time to party! AS usual, 1 don’t have a date, but in Granite Falls there are only three kinds of people: those who have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, those who are looking for one, and those who can’t find one. I fit into the third category. Autos 1. 64 Vi Mustang 2. 72 Nova 3. 67 Cougar 4. 69 Chevelle 5. 66 4-Door Chevelle with one white door Concerts 1. ZZ Top 2. Huey Lewis 3. Bon Jovi 4 AC DC 5.

For GFHS Daters, It Takes Two to Tango It was a Friday night and she was sitting on the end of her bed crying. Tomorrow night was her Senior Prom and no one had asked her to go. Like many young ladies at GFHS, this young lady was experiencing one of the hardest parts about high school dating: the pain of rejection. There are many perils and pinnacles to dating at GFHS. This young lady was experiencing one of the perils. She was a victim of the first step, asking someone out, which is the biggest peril here. After John Mayer posed THE ques- tion to Laura Tropper, they quickly learned after their first date that there are also many pinnacles like having so- meone to spend time with on otherwise lonely Saturday nights. After two weeks of sweaty palms and a scratchy throat, Travis Wait asked Melinda Heindrick if she would accom- pany him to the Homecoming Dance. She said yes and ever since they have been intrigued yet at ease with each other’s company. But Travis says, “I want it to last. I don’t know, until whenever, forever!” Kim Haverfield, who has been dating Mark Grable for two years, says the best part about having a steady boyfriend is, “You grow closer to the guy you’re going out with. The more I learn about Mark, the more I love him.” A lob of students here have not yet experienced either the perils or pin- nacles of dating someone seriously. Says one freshman guy, “Who wants to go out with someone when your Mom has to drive you everywhere. Next year I’ll be 16 so I can drive myself and then, watch out women of Granite Falls.” Then again, some people don’t want to date at all. “I think that dating is stupid,” says Steve Head. “All that girls ever do is complain and spend your money.” But no matter how you feel about dating, whether you love it or hate it, it will continue with all of its perils and pinnacles for years to come. i 10 Above: Mike Irons escorts Cindy Chase down the sidewalk as Dana Grant accompanies them.
