Organization was essential as chaperones Miss Sharon McLean, Miss Nancy Ashton and Mr Dave Smith hand out ballots, programs and picture times at Turnabout. Noway out, you’re stuck Oh no. Here it comes, I hope she isn’t going to stop. Hi, Mike, I was wondering ...” Listen Beth, I ' d really like to talk but, I’ve got to go to basketball practice. Mike runs and for the next few hours of hard work, Beth and the thought of Turnabout are put from Mike’s mind. But never fear, practice did eventually come to an end and with the conclusion of practice, Mike notices Beth waiting by the door. There’s no way out now, especially since the guys he ' s waiting for aren ' t even out of the shower. Hi, Mike. How was practice? It was okay, I guess.” “I was wondering if you’d go to Turnabout on February 3?” Beth, I don’t even know how to dance. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you! There’s no way out. Ya, I’ll go. On the way home, Mike got a hard time from his buddies but, they didn ' t razz him long because It’s only for a few moments, but, the wonder of being chosen the first princess sparkles in sophomore Kathy Frye ' s eyes, as she dances with prince, Dave Kegebein. he soon found out that most of them were going too.

Here it comes.” Hi, Beth, I was wondering ... Mike, I ' d really like to talk but, I’ve got track practice.” The rest is another story. 6 Turnabout

Inspiration points Things are always changing. Take for example the way things were in the 1950’s compared to the way life is now, especially when it comes to the average high school student. Twenty years ago bobby socks and saddle shoes were in; today it’s clogs. Back then Elvis had teenage hearts melting; today Ted Nugent is packing fans into concerts. Things are always changing, but what about the things that don’t change? Students today have many of the same pastimes that people had back then, for instance, take parking (necking as it was known in the days of your parents). Many people watch the hit show Happy Days. When the Fonz takes a girl up to Inspiration Point, everyone knows it isn’t so he can see the view. Unfortunately Griffith doesn’t have an Inspiration Point, so today’s student have to make due with what our town has to offer. Pipeline Road, the atmosphere isn’t as romantic, but it serves its purpose. If it is romance a couple wants, Doling Park, also known as the FOP of Kennedy Ave., has a nice pond, but then you have to deal with lights shining off the express way. Whiting Beach is just like Inspiration Point, with line after line of parking cars, only it’s a bit far from Griffith. There are those who like to stick close to town, like Beiriger woods, but they are often scared off by stories of police popping up with a flashlight in hand. Public places just don’t seem right to some people. They are the ones daring enough to try to pull off a little “necking” at home. The driveway is always good for a kiss or two, then again people have to deal with the porch lights being flipped on. The sofa is another likely place to find a couple of teenagers. When the television is going, mom and dad never suspect anything. But, little brothers and sisters can wreck things by passing through the room three for four times before plopping themselves in front of the set. Regardless of what your folks did for Inspiration Point, it’s easy to see that some things just never change. 8 Dating
