“Boom Boom- Out go the lights might have been one of the songs played after the power failure caused the Hammond game to be delayed. In pseudo-disco members of the football team ham it up and relax.

Instead of long tiresome practices, many players choose to skip practice and enjoy the excitement of the game. The play in intramurals on Wednesday nights. It is a sport that consumes little time. OLD PLACES They crammed together like sardines in a can. They inched together tighter, so that one more could be crammed in. Suddenly the “five til bell sent them scurrying. The ledge was empty. The ledge, the scene of morning congregation, is a familiar old place for students. Other places, however, can be just as common. Athletes and spectators can always rely on the gym to serve as the place for practices and games. Even the elementary school gyms cannot be forgotton, as intramural basketball players use the facilities. Since the first day of junior high, people have visited the cafeteria. The big white tiled room across the breezeway serves as a place to eat , study, and catch the latest gossip. The library serves as an old place to g ather study material, read current magazines, or escape from the everyday classroom routine. Outside of school, places in the community offer service and familiarity. Red house Antiques and Ice Cream Parlor, a fairly new business establishment, serves ice cream in one of the oldest buildings in Griffith. The large brick building at Broad and Maine was once a bank and a public library. Griffith stores give residents a chance to shop without leaving the boundaries of the city, and without wasting gas. Central Park and Franklin Field offer a chance to be outdoors and “check out what hunks are playing.” if baseball isn’t of interest, there are always snowcones. Old places offer a sense of security. Until the “five til” bell rings . . . Whether it’s a book on the American Revolution or do-it-yourself carpentry, the library always seems to have just what you need as junior Alan discovers after finding just the right book. 9

Our Gang Comfortable feelings characterize gang life That favorite pair of jeans, washed and worn for ages is sometimes the only pair that feels comfortable. Often the same is true for friends. Everyone has a certain group with whom he feels comfortable. A group of people to share inner feeling with, and to relax with. The gang often roams the halls together before and after school, waits in a close-knit circle for the bus for a ride and always crowds around that special table in the lunch room. Basketball games and pizza parlors are often the meeting palces for the gang. Rumors and gossip are exchanged and friends joke with each other laughing histarically and prompting curious stares and snide glances from those not in on the inside joke. Some of these comfortable groups are continually changing members and others are as unchanging and unwillingly to let new siders in as the Amish. But no matter what type of group one belongs to, large or small, he always knows he has his reserved space with his own special gang.
