Dating: The Ultimate Fun on a Saturday Night Lim-uh, would you like to do some- thing this weekend? How many times have you been in this situation, either asking someone out or being asked? Or how many times did you want to see that new scary mov' ie and had no one to go with? What about the time when you really wanted to double date with your best friend? Dating, no matter how you look at it, has most likely affected you at one time or another. Let's face it-all those late night calls were usually about discus- sions on the 900 floor, and cruising on Friday night discussions were usually about that cute girl in geometry or that guy you saw in the passageway.

Perhaps you went to the 7 o'clock show at the Roxy, then munched out on a chesse and sausage deep dish at Pizza Hut. Maybe a romantic dinner for two at a fancy restaurant was your idea of a fun date. On the other hand, if the funds were a little low, a Big Mac from McDon- alds was fine. Some people might have chosen a more relaxing, quiet date. Spending an evening in your own living room watch- ing T.V. and munching popcorn was an inexpensive, fun, and cozy way to spend a Saturday night. On Friday nights football and basketball games were a great place to take your favorite girl. Probably the most exciting dates of the year were dances. Dances like Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins were thrilling changes from the normal Satur- day night date. lf you were lucky enough to go. And Prom was the most magical date of all. Wherever you went and whoever that special person was weekend dates were worth looking to- ward the weekend forg and that's a great part of high school. 28fDating
