Dance NiqliT ThE AwAy Disco moved out and the new Punk Rock took over the sound stage. No matter what the changes in music were, dancing remained popular at MHS. Friday night canteens offered a chance to get together with friends and share anything and everything. It also provided an opportunity to meet new people, as one junior put it The canteens were a riot and I met a lot of people I had never known before. Dancing was not however, only confined to canteens. People brought parties to life by boogieing with friends. It not only forced a casual, relaxed atmosphere but it was also an accepted release of pent-up energy caused by the tension of being a student.

When 10 speeds first came out everyone had to have one. if you didn’t you were a loser”. Biking can be used for many reasons. One, for the enjoyment — biking around Lake Calhoun. Lake Minnetonka and even as far as the Gun Flint Trail. Second, for economic reasons. Third, for the sport — competing. For any reason biking is healthy and enjoyable. It was good to keep the body in tone. The thrill of the speed was inviting. Young and old participated, some on trikes, two seaters, and no-speeders. In Minnesota it’s hard to do it all year through. But when biking season started roads, trails, and tracks were full. Jane Addison biked frequently around her neighborhood and occasionally lake Calhoun. She also biked to her job.
