If our class hours were often hectic, our after school hours were even more so. Numerous students maintained part-time jobs, ranging from gas station attendants and stock boys in supermarkets to clerking in dime stores and bakeries. Holiday parties, surprise parties, or parties of any kind were always lots of fun. Discussing the latest football or basketball game, the latest steady couple , or the current Johnny Mathis record album were but a few of the many topics at these get- togethers. Pastimes varied with the weather, but no matter what the season, there is always something for a teenager to do. In the fall, horseback riding, go-carting, and trampolening drew the attention of all those who dared to try. The brisk weather of winter brought to many warm-blooded students ice skating and tobog¬ ganing. Minature golf and tennis often were prescribed as sure cures for spring fever . When we realize the many jobs, parties, and pastimes we engage in, it is easy to believe we have had little sparetime and lots of fun.

HALLELUJAH. BLESSED ARE WEEKENDS Our pleasure filled weekends began with a football or a basketball game, Friday night. These games were a must for the entire student body. After the game, it was into a car and to a drive-in for a snack. The game was hashed and rehashed, until much too soon, it was time to break up and wend our weary way home. After a good night ' s sleep came Saturday morning. This was our big, big day. Everyone wished it would never end. Housework or shopping for the girls and washing the car or watching a col¬ lege football game on T.V. for the boys, were the common activ¬ ities for the day. At six o ' clock all these were dropped because date-time was near. Going to a drive-in theater to see Psycho or just gathering with friends for an evening of fun were but a few of the many ways Saturday date nights were spent. On Sunday, after attending church and reading the papers, we usually settled down to the tedious task of homework. The weekend passed swiftly. Amazingly it was time for bed with Monday morning and school once again in the picture. In the front seat are Bill Helfrich and Edd Plesko who ask Caryl Brueckheimer and Marvene Sebben whether they would like french fries with their hamburgers. Kitty Dal Pra listens in. Jerry Tarpo and Bill Murray, standing beside the car, notice some of their friends as they leave the drive-in. Gene Bobik and Karen Crnkovich watch with animation the taffy pulling technique of Ed Bosak and Patty Kapsch. 11 Although the drive-in theater features the singing of Frank Sinatra, it is not nearly as interesting to Joe Cochran and Frances Pirillo as their popcorn. Poor Notre Dame missed another tackle says Ken Pittman to Rusty Johnson ruefully os they while away a Saturday afternoon.
