Uncle Sam’s designated Sunday night as teen night. From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. only teenagers were admitted. The Sunday night ritual began for students as they put on their disco clothes.

Also, jeans, the never ending fad, were worn by guys and girls alike. Disco dancing became popular because of the movie, Saturday Night Fever. Such hits as “Staying Alive,” “Disco Inferno,” and “Night Fever” were featured in the movie and became pupular dance music. Other songs such as “Macho Man, ” “Thank God It’s Firday,” and “San Fransisco” were other popular disco tunes.
