These familiar lines were shouted by the barkers across the midway trying to draw customers. Exhibits, too, attracted many-participants. The automobile exhibit was perhaps thefavorite of everyone.

Even though you could ride six rides for the price of the haunted house, the temptation of a scare was too irresistible.

8 T.G.I.F. Whew! Thank goodness it's here, the most anticipated day of the week. . . FRIDAY. It is the day that seems to take the longest to get here and goes by the fastest. lf only Monday could go by so quickly. Friday shows a perkiness that no other day does. The students are more talkative and the weekend enthusiasm seems to show through in everyone's eyes. As the day goes by you can see people making plans with friends, talking about who's going where to eat or asking about possible parties. By the time sixth period arrives students are restless waiting for the 3:30 bell to ring. Clock watching is seen in almost every classroom. The bell rings and the students rush out. It seems to be a race to see who can get out of the door first. At any rate, the school is emptied, the doors locked and the night is on. Everyone goes their different directions and looks for a good time. College bound juniors and seniors spent the evening in to rest up for early morning SAT and ACT tests. Some went to the lakeg East Hills or the Trestels were most popular. Others preferred places like the Magic Time Machine or Bennigan's. Still there were some who found their way to Feather's Disco or Davinci's. Friday usually ended about 1:30 or 2:00 Saturday morning and everyone knew there would be another week of anticipation . . . , 'til next Friday. Wild and crazy Friday nights often brought friends together on Forest Lane. Throwing their own party on a Burger King sign, Tony Waltrip, Steven Duponte, Kirk Spencer and Bill Glaze enjoy a typical Friday night. pHlVE THU' Fall h 7 m4 'i if . gf xl VV Q Q I-C.. . g F fx' Anxious to leave school on a Friday afternoon, Tommy McGuire and Rick English, seniors. warm for the night ahead.
