FHM NME UN 'MMG Cure For Monotony: A Truly-OHS Party Parties played a big role in Our High School, 1978. Cast members worked on the set Monday through Friday, waiting for the good times of Friday and Saturday nights. There were private parties and school parties for the various clubs and organizations. A private party took many forms. In some cases, it was a poker party with the guys, or a dinner party with the girls, or just a few couples watch- ing Home Box Office instead of going to the movies. Private cast parties also consisted of an invitation - only party such as a sweet 16, never been kissed party, a surprise party or a going away for your best friend party. A BYOB fbring your own boozel party was also part of the scene for some cast members. Many other types of parties, rang- ing from Pizza get-togethers to Chip, Dip and Popcorn parties, to parked car parties to Slumber Par- ties were held by cast members. Parties were not restricted to the weekend as many post-game parties were held during the year. Various clubs had parties during the year. The French Club had a Spook House party, the Junior Classical League sang Christmas carols. The Junior-Senior Prom provided the setting for many parties. Many students attended parties before and after prom. Parties were not restricted to cast members as the Supporting Cast held a Christmas party at the Executive Inn and many other private get-togethers for the Supporting Cast were held during the year.

A typical Friday night schedule for an OHS student was: - 7 p.m. - Drop by the Sonic for a quick bite to eat. - 7:20 p.m. - Pick up friends for a friendly cruise through McDonalds parking lot. A . - 7:30 p.m. - Drive past a friend's or enemy's house fwhichever the case may bel and lay on the horn. Drive back by the same house two or three more times. - 7:50 p.m. - Cruise McDonalds again looking for familiar faces. - 8 p.m. - Drive around in search of a friendly drag race down Frederica. - 9 p.m. - Head for destination, whether it be a movie, C.W. Skeeter's Boogeshak or maybe a party where the rest of the night is spent. If the student is male and has a fe- male friend in the car, then he may decide to take a detour through Fisher Road on the way to his destination. Un fact, sometimes Fisher Road is his destinationll. Some students spent their spare time on wheels - the wheels on their roller skates. For them, United Skates of America or Skateland was their hangout. Other students spent their time along the same lines, but instead of a wooden floor and wheels, they pre- ferred ice and blades. These students spent their time at the Sportscenter ice skating. With four local movie theatres and a number of drive-ins, the average OHS student could usually find at least one motion picture that appealed to them. . Moonlight bowling was an attrac- tion to some OHS students. If one didn't strike out there, a pool hall- pinball emporium was conveniently located across the street. Concerts in Owensboro were few, but surrounding cities had some top- name entertainment - if one was lucky enough to get the tickets and the keys to the car! 22 fAfter Hours were being enforced by the city police. Bowling was a popular pasttime for many OHS students. One of the many avid bowlers at OHS was Sophomore Roger Bostick. With so many activities to choose from, it appears that OHS students were on the move all the time, but there were two main factors that de- termined whether or not they were ac- tive - transportation and money. If either of these factors were hard to come by, the student may have had to decide on the low-keyed life of a TV show or a good book. - By Karla Weller '- Among the new hangouts for OHS cast members in 1978 was the Sonic Burger, com- plete with drive-in car service.
