A Time for Relaxation When the last bell sounded on Fridays, students broke out of their classrooms with energtic fervor to escape school and begin the two-break called the weekend. During the week, Niles North students anticipated the coming weekend by ask- ing Watcha doin' this weekend? North students could have been seen at the McDonald's on Dempster, McGreevy's, at the Old Orchard theatre, or concerts at the Rosemont Horizon. For those who liked to hang out with the college crowd, they spent their warm weekends at Northwestern Beach. Stu- dents were also found back at school on Fridays or Saturdays if there happened to be a game or dance. The chance to be back at school on the weekend caused the students to see that the school was also a place to have fun. These were all popular weekend activities. After all this, if there happened to be time, home- work might have been started on Sun- day night. On the weekends students would hang out in the parking lot of the Dempster McDonald's. The inte- rior provides a comfortable atmosphere for friends to meet. Student shopping on the weekends frequented Old Orchard. The row of shops stand ready for the morning shoppers. 14 — Student Life
