SHOPPING WITH A member of the opposite sex may not always be fun, because people ' s interests vary. Finding extra time on a weekend night for shop- ping, freshman Missy Lawson hunts for her favorite store. NIGHTS OUT WITH the guys can be filled with fun such as a challenging ping pong game. Senior Roger Teller sharpens his aim as he hits the ball to his oppo- nent. — Dateless 19 — of So Bad Out with the gang provides alternative to dating Friday night, 5:30 p.m. . . . The tele- phone rang. The girl’s spirits rose a bit. She didn’t want to get her hopes up too high, but maybe, just maybe it was that special some- one. She picked up the phone, but to her disappointment, a girl’s voice sounded on the other end of the line. A night out with the girls began once again. Many students found themselves without a date on the weekend; however, instead of sitting around and moping, they took the initiative and found something of interest to do. “If I don’t ask a girl out, I usually go to a movie or find something to do with the guys. CATCHING A BITE to eat at McDonalds becomes c common event after almost any activity. Sophomores Sherra Stewart, Lisa Trilli and Tricia Roman place their orders for a quick night-time snack. It doesn’t bother me to be dateless,” said junior Pat Sannito. However, some students didn’t always take the initiative and preferred to stay home. “I never had many dates so I stayed home and caught up on my homework,” added senior Caroline Paulson. But, when left alone, students invariably found different sources of entertainment. School sponsored events such as basketball or football games provided for an evening of excitement, especially if the game was good. “After I’m done cheering at a game, I would meet my friends and we’d go some- where like Aurelio’s and chow down on piz- za,” said Junior Varsity Cheerleader, Deb- bie O’Donnell, sophomore. Outside-of-school sponsored activities, a friend’s house provided an evening of play- ing pool, watching TV or playing video games. “I enjoy just sitting around at a friend’s house doing nothing sometimes. Dating often brings on pressure, and some- times it’s nice not having any pressure,” said freshman Jim Fitt. It is also common for girls and guys to go out platonically. “A bunch of girls and guys end up getting together on the weekends at a party or something. Usually no one is dat- ing and it does not bother anyone,” ex- plained senior Margaret Behrens. The girl hung up the phone. Now that she’d thought about it, maybe being date- less wasn’t so bad after all . . .

ARCADE GAMES HAVE been brought into the home with the invention of TV video games like Atari and Intellevision. Freshman Chris Fissinger and sopho- more Ricky Dernulc have a few hours of fun playing Space Invaders, a game of skill and coordination. DATELESS OR NOT, basketball games provide en- tertainment for both guys and girls. Juniors Robert Fitzgibbons and Tony Zygmunt watch the game, enjoy- ing each other’s company and contemplating later plans. L — 18 Dateless —
