Night-Life Activities Add Excitement To Student Life High school students have always found themselves involved in some type of night-life activity. Popular spots included St. Hebron s Cat Disco. Patches Skating Rink, the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center, video game rooms, or movies. These recreational places kept students occupied and gave them an opportunity to become better acquainted with friends. When the sun went down, students headed for their favorite entertainment spots. Although sports activities took up much time for athletic students, the reward came when they got the opportunity to perform before their fellow classmates. Students enjoyed supporting these athletes at home as well as away. Even the unfortunate few who were not able to go out on the town enjoyed evenings at home watching television with family and friends. Brenda knecht always ends her evening playing Ms. Pac-Man at Pizza Hut. After practicing and participating in football. Lyndon Williams and Roosevelt Johnson have little time for other night life activities. 19
