y ififilf Want Fun? Go Cruising The bell rings. Students shuf- fle into the hall. Chris asks Keith, What are ya doin ' this weekend?” Keith looks around and says, “Nothin’ ” but sud- denly gets a flash in his eyes. Me and Sue are goin ' cruisin ' . Wanna come?” “Sure, it’ll be great!” What is cruising? A boat ride? Flying a kite? “Driving around a certain place a lot of times, said senior Sherri Wad- dle. She says the reason she cruises is to see the guys and people she knows. Also, just to get out and have fun. Broadway seems to be the hot spot for cruising. If you were to go out for a Sunday drive, you would probably spot many GHS students and most likely a lot of Highland, Mun- ster, and Merrillville kids, too, cruising along Broadway with their windows rolled down and the sound of Prince or Bruce Springsteen blasting out. If you are one of those who isn ' t into the scene, it wouldn ' t be unusual to find none of your friends at home on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Here you are, all the way to Sue or Jim ' s house and they’re not home. Why?” you ask yourself. What does cruising have that I don ' t? How could he he possibly have more fun speeding up and down the street, blasting that rock and roll than going to the Mall with me? Well, let me tell you. Mailing is out and cruising is in. Why do people cruise? What kind of individuals can one meet? Junior Sharyl Keith said, Guys in rock bands and every- thing.” If you’re wondering how to cruise, I’ll tell you. All you have to do is grab a couple of friends, hop into your dad’s beat up white Pontiac, roll down all the windows, crank up the radio, and prepare yourself for a shaky drive through the heart of Merrillville. If you locate a few foxy chicks or a couple of hunks, just stop and say “hi.” Don ' t be embarrassed, ' cause they ' re there for the same thrill as you are. After school blues. Senior Brian Ger ■ ike can t seem to get enough of school as he cruises home after football prac- tice. -16-Cruising

Video Craze Duran Duran, Van Halen, Air Supply, and Alabama. What do all these groups have in com- mon? In one way or another they perform music. Each of these have different sounds in music. These and other performers sing and produce music videos to satisfy our interest. Some people enjoy just plain rock, like Duran Duran. Others get into heavy metal groups like Van Halen. “My favorite rock group is Duran Duran, because I like their music. They have strange lyrics and a neat beat. But most of all they’re good looking, says junior Patty Potosky. Then there are those who like to listen to love songs. If so, Air Supply would be one group to listen to. Also, there are those who enjoy country music. Ala- bama is one of the top country bands. “My favorite country group is Alabama. I really enjoy their style of music and I especially like their country hit Lady Down on Love,” said junior Lau- ra Hildebrand. The way we listen to music has changed dramatically. Back when your parents were kids, they sat around an old time radio. Now that you ' re a teen there are jamboxes and ste- reo headphones. Also, there is MTV, or Music Television. In- stead of just listening to your favorite groups, you watch them. — , M i p C ? 1 ) I l I I I I f ” I i r n O o oo o O DQ [pU o 9 e o - 9 X ' O o O O O s
