1 Our friends were the best entertainment, just sitting around talking, playing games, and having fun. Boyd Harvey, Philip Zerbitz, Walter Ubridge, Paul Ayres, Bobby Ibanez, and Greg Gamen compete in knife throwing game during lunchbreak. 2 Bobby Jones, Kim Powers, Paula Theide, and Mike Welbes enjoy dinner at the Magic Time Machine before the prom. The restaurants atmosphere and menu made it one of the most unique places in town. 3 The Vikettes were professional and talented, and often the finest entertaine ment around. DeAnn Perry shows off her dancing ability during the Spring Show. 4 Foreign language classes let us know something about cultures other than our own. Kim Feille and her partner do a Mexican folk dance in Ms. Donaho's Spanish class. Learning Social Skills without paying a cent. Biggies like - Gone With the Wind , Patton , and The Ten Commandments. Networks competed with first run movies, producing enormously popular made for T.V. movie series Roots , Rich Man, Poor Man , Captains and Kings , and Once An Eagle. We went out to escape from school and the continual routine of learning. But! learning carried over into our nightlife. We acquired the standard social skills, how to make friends and fit in with your favorite group, and the socially acceptable do's and don't's of a teenage society. We learned the rules of sex and dating, complicated though they were. Not knowing what to do or say in an awkward situation, wondering how to keep hisfher attention, scraping your brain to find a topic of conversation that would interest both of you. How far a couple should, could, or would go on a first date depended a lot on their standards. Dating or going steady generated pressure. Many adolescents experimented, and learned, sometimes the hard way. Many others decided to wait until they matured more to face the problems, conflicts, and consequences of sex. We learned to deal with money, making decisions between this movie, that favorite girl, or another splurge on new clothes. We mastered the ticklish art of manipulating our parents. We learned to be persuasive, tactful, and above all, subtle. When the purse was low on cash or we already promised our gang we could definitely get the car, all the charm we ever possessed had to be dredged up and applied to a cause dear to all teenage hearts, conning our parents. Seeing ourselves in action. Now, that's entertainment. entertainment 29
