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. After you finally got a date, where did you go? For most people, catching a movie was the most popular thing to do. 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

I- Bad Moods or Good: Food ls the Thing How many of you have ever eaten just to eat? Many of you can probably reply, yes. Food, usually junk food, is used by many teenagers as an escape from their problems. Remember the saying We can live on love. Well, this may be true, but when a couple breaks up they make up for all that lost time in the kitchen in one weekend drowning their sorrows in food. Food can also work in the reverse, it is perfect for little friendly get togethers and what better way to get to know that new foxy Junior girl than over a thick, cheesy pizza? lt seems that wherever teenagers are they associate themselves in some way with food. Whether it be the dieter who just wants a taste or the depressed gorger, food has become a very real part of growing up.

This is very often overheard in the halls of Ottawa High School at 3:10 in the afternoon. Hamburgers are quite popular among students for that quick bite, but pizza is preferred when they have more time to sit around and rap. We asked some students from each class what their favorite foods to chow down on were. We received many per- sonal favorites, but the top three in each class were these. Freshmen 1. Pizza 2.
