Variety Gives Students Choice A hangout was a place frequented for entertainment or for socializing. Niles North students were seen in several han- gouts when not studying for that big english or math test. Niles North was located right across the street from Old Orchard Shopping Mall, where students on their free time were seen shopping at the Limited or Marshall Fields. During their lunch time, students who had off campus privileges might have been eat- ing at Boudin's or the Old Orchard Deli. On the warm weekends during spring and fall, to relieve the strain of being in school for 300 minutes a day, juniors and seniors could be spotted spray painting their names on the rocks at Northwes- tern beach.

When the colder months rolled around and the beach was not an option, McDonald's on Dempster was a common meeting place for North students after the big football or basket- ball game.

Certain groups of stu- dents met regularly at the same cafeteria tables every day. Students involved in Niles North publications could be found in A106 or N141. Athletes found an area in the south end of the school to meet, work out, practice or relax. Just about everyone seemed to find a niche some- where where they could hang out at some point during the day. During the warm days of fall and spring, students would sit by the windows to cool off.
