Just You And Me Couples were all around us as they walked hand in hand, arm in arm, down the hallways. He often walked she to class and this was frequently the first sign of a blooming romance. Discussion of plans for the coming weekend were often the main topic of conversation. Although dating as our parents talked about it seemed to have declined, there is no doubt that teenagers of the oppo- site sex enjoy each other ' s company as much as ever. Often a group of kids would go out after a game instead of cou- ples. Formalized dating has not faded out entirely. A football or basketball game was a common destination for a Friday night outing. Movie dates are as popular as ever as entertainment is hard to find. After almost any activity most kids headed for a bite to eat. McDonald ' s was popular after a game but Pizza Hut and Village Inn more than held their own. The Prom and the Black and White Ball were two of the few formal occasions of the year. The Prom was talked about for months ahead of time and for some, was considered to be the biggest night of their high school lives. For many, it was the opportunity to put on their best clothes for an evening and have a great time. Jim Morris and Kathy Ogorek attended the football game together — a popular Friday night date. Gina Przygoda and Tom Meyer — out together. Don Price and Annie Prince at school together. 14

Instead Of Homework Students worked hard at LaSalle. Classes like calculus, physics, US His- tory, and many others provided plenty of homework to keep us busy. Many of us also had jobs outside of school. Students also had leisure time which was spent in activities commonly called hobbies. What kinds of hobbies did students have? Each person had their own individ- ual character and many hobbies reflected that individuality. Many were interested in sports, whether on a LaSalle team or not. LaSalle was not passed by as the skateboarding craze swept the country. Outdoor activities included backpacking, camping, skating, jogging and skiing. Many students indulged in more relax ing hobbies such as art and music. Col lecting articles was another renowned aspect of hobbies and collections con sisted of such objects as coins, stamps and rarely, shot glasses. Teachers involved themselves in many widespread hobbies. Mr. Bogucki, for example, enjoys archery while Mr. Jasiewicz designs grandfather clocks. Mr. Steen and Mrs. Johnson take to the slopes for winter skiing enjoyment. Mr. Fuchs spends some of his extra time golfing and bowling. Hobbies gave all of us a chance to get away from studying and working for a while. 16 Automotively inclined Jeff Taelman replaces a fender skirt. ABOVE: Artist Roger Vann at work.
