Where Do They Go When School Is Out? .,,h, 4 Every generation had its own special places to go. These places were an expression of the times and an outlet for getting away from it all for awhile. Hastings students have singled out sever- al spots as their own, where they can be themselves, talk with friends and have a good time. The popularity of these places increased due to the ban on drinking in the parks after 10 pm. This ban was brought on by the litter and vandalism ocurring in the parks. Parents voiced their concern, as well as the police department. Reports in the recent months show that this ban has been effective. LOCATED CLOSE to school, Roadside Park offers a place to go for the students after school. The Greenhouse is the main attrac- tion as a place where you can sit with your friends. QUIET TIMES at the Dam are few, but by 2:30 school is out and students begin to gather. They take it easy after a rough day of school or may plan for the weekend ahead. ll
