When the seniors were asked their favorite places to go on a date, the number one response was a mov- ie. Eating out — especially at Pizza Hut — was second. Quite often, however, a lack of money meant they had to choose something else: usually the girl ' s home and a video on the VCR. In warm weather, the beach was a popular place for a date.

A change in daring A girl asking a guy out on a dote is acceptable in the 80 ' s Just as styles have changed a lot over the years so has dating. Once it was not only unaccept- able but unheard of for a girl to ask the guy out. Now it isn ' t a big deal If the gal makes the first move. When the senior girls were polled, most of them admitted they had not asked a guy out nor would they. Others agreed with Rachel Gehring who sold, Heck, if they aren ' t going to ask you, go for it! Lance Chrlsman and Lesley Meredith have been going to- gether since their sophomore year, and It was Lesley who did the asking for their first date. I wanted to go out with him and he was going with someone else so I asked him out, she sold and they have stayed together for three years. Sometimes guys are too shy or afraid that you might say ' no, ' said Leslie Ort. They often have to build up extra courage before asking the girl of their dreams for a date. But now In the 80 ' s when females are taking more control of their lives and do the asking, it makes the guy feel im- portant and takes some of the pressure off, admitted Jeff Jones and others. If a girl has enough guts to ask me out, I ' d respect her for that and go out with her, stated Charlie Pan- chev. Though most of the senior guys think it is great to be the one asked, almost all of the girls agreed that they would prefer to remain in their traditional role of waiting to be asked. — Jenny Swoveland Senior Shane Blotkamp and his girlfriend Sarah Minnich appear to be enjoying the wrestling match they are watching at Leo on one of their evenings together. photo by Kris Straughn Dating
