Popular attractions were Six Flags Over Texas amusement park and White Water. During the early spring these parks were open over the weekend. Several students visited Six Flags on Senior Day, when the park was open until early in the morning. However, rainy weather upset many weekend plans. Local theaters provided another diver- sion.

To see these movies students visited Richland Plaza or the UA Cinema at North East Mall. Overnight field trips were also popular.
