The ball rolled backwards, said Kathy Farmer. Shopping appeals to girls and guys alike. Buying clothes is the ultimate high, Blair Efird exclaims. The malls in Richmond include Eastgate, Regency, and Cloverleaf. Also, students hang out at 6th Street Marketplace, Main Street Station, and Carytown. lf clothes don't fit into a student's budget, they may opt for a cassette or poster from Gary's or Peaches, two other great hangouts. In Williams- burg, the recently built Outlet Mall and the Pottery also attract students. And...if for some reason none of these satisfy, theres always home with family and friends. Many students frequent Williamsburg Bowl on the weekends. Ann McKeoun, like many others, must travel outside of the county to find entertainment. Hangouts 11

Euerybodjfs favorite sport The Dating Game by Alex Walden What social activity relieves the monotony of school life? Dating! Ask anybody and you will get that answer. Dating is a common ground shared by many students. Most of the time, students look for certain character traits in a person before they consider a serious relationship. Cynthia Harper said that she Hlooktedj for a good personality in a per- son who is also attractive. Shawn Gusti looks for the same type of things in a girl. He also likes someone who is fairly sports-minded and who is appreciative of the time that he and she have together. Unusual dates were a commmon topic among students. Cynthia remembers once when her first blind date was with someone she soon learned not to enjoy being with. He was much different that I expected, she said. Shawn was interested in dat- ing Sallie Davis before she was allowed to go out. After she was allowed to go out, they went to Nada's for a bite to eat. I played the jukebox the whole night-the same song, in fact. Lisa Tyler chan- ged the subject to comment on her most wonderful date. I was with two guys, but I was unsure about which one I actually had the date with. I went with both of them. To most students, persona- Iity is the most important fea- ture in a person. But a few other students thought that politeness, courtesy, and intel- ligence had to be considered. Many students believe that these things allude to creati- vity in a date. ,f ,.r, m.n
