Friday freedom Living for the weekend Weekends! On Friday at 2:55 p.m., the cars began to speed from the parking lot. Free until Monday! But what was there to do? During football season, there was always the Friday night game. Almost the entire student body could be found on the team, on the cheerleading squad, in the band, or just yelling in the stands. Spectators came for different reasons. Some showed up to support the team; others regarded it as a social function. Marlene Kirby, a senior, said, “1 come to the games just to see good football.” Saturday nights allowed for many activities. Some people went to Texarkana to eat and see a movie, but many could be seen back home cruising Main.” J J’s Games and Snacks was a popular stopping place. Many people took time from their “cruising” to drop in and pump a few quarters into a video game. With the rise of television video games, some people stayed at home or went to friends’ houses to play. Deborah Swann, a senior, said, “I can take the tensions that build up during school out of my Atari instead of my little sister. Other students preferred meeting friends at the skating rink or going to the Howard Auto Theater. If one wanted food, the Pizza Hut was a popular restaurant for high school students. Some favorite pizzas included the Supreme and the Pepperoni. If fast food or a shake were on the agenda, the Sonic or the Big T could serve it hot in a matter of minutes. Whether it was going to the movie, playing Pac-Man, or just “cruising Main,” students met on the weekends to have a good time. Freedom from homework and the early weeknight curfews combined to make weekends a much needed relief from the routine of schoolwork. 1 }
