Give me a little kiss. Whether it ' s between classes, like junior Don Redden and senior Debbie Pramuk, or at a dance like sophomore Diane Strayer and senior Mark Reed, or maybe it’s in the gym at a dance like junior Kathi Stassin and graduate Dan Gilmore, or maybe it ' s in the car, on the coach, on the porch, at the beach . . .

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

10 Turn on the set at 10:30 p.m. and you may see a rerun of the King and I. But, a few people saw Yul Brynner live on stage, portraying the king at the Aire Crown. Ashamed and flustered, you explain to the officer that it ' s the first time. You beg for a warning, but as all else fails you now face your parents, ticket in hand. Concerts , live and full, especially in the first rows. Getting front row tickets to a concert may mean standing in line all night but, after all. it is worth it. Tickets
