Being with that one date He was a tall, tan surfer. We walked on the beach and went to the amusement park. Nikki Leuthe Q he: I wonder what I’ll S wear. I wonder if he’ll ever show up? Does he think I'm pretty? Will he kiss me goodnight? He: Where will I take her? What will we do? Will she like me? Should I make a pass? Going on a date can be the scariest experience of your life. Some people like seniors Anne O’Brien and Chip Wasson think that the prom was their best date. Anne said.“Last year’s prom was great because after it was over my date and I went out to a party. On an average, people said that they went out after the football games and out on Saturday nights. The curfew that most of the couples had to be in by was between eleven and one. The dates usually spent about ten to fifteen dollars every weekend. The most expensive weekend can cost up to thirty dollars.The money came mostly from parents and jobs including paper routes and waitressing. Sophomores Geoff Strohl and Eric Werley said that they spent more of their time with their friends, but some others spent more time with their girlfriends or boyfriends. But some shared the same amount of time with both. Senior Cheryl Murphy’s worst date was spent when “Finally I went out with a guy that had been asking me for a long time. Well, when we were going to the movies, he ran through a stop sign. We got stopped by a cop. who then gave my date a ticket. But to top it all off. my date’s battery in the car died. He had to call his dad and his dad picked us up in downtown Allentown. We ended up missing the movie.” Best and worst date 13

Spirit soars at Parkland Spirit week gave students a chance to dress up and act crazy without getting in trouble. »« Rich Marzen Let’s face it. Spirit holds a school together. For some, spirit is attending football games every Friday night; for others, spirit is making banners for every sport possible; and. for still others.spirit is dressing up in odd outfits during spirit week. Sitting in homeroom the morning before a football game can be very hazardous to one's health. Most students are still trying to catch some shut eye and then all of a sudden, they hear this extremely enthusiastic loud voice over the intercom. You’ve guessed it; it’s none other than the famous Trojan Mascot. The winter mascot was junior David Ufberg. He said. Being mascot is pretty awesome! I mean it really gets you involved in your school. I think it’s really exciting and I wish all the athletes a winning future.” Cheerleaders and bands members are often seen as the leaders in spirit throughout the school year But sometimes they have to pay the price for it. Standing in front of the whole student body in the cold rain cheering for your struggling team or trying to march through the mud puddles during halftime is not too much fun. Worst of all while doing all this, you realize no one is paying attention to them anyway. Junior Becky Meyers commented. “I enjoy cheerleading very much, but it’s a lot of hard work and dedication. I especially enjoyed cheering at the football games this year.” Also commenting on spirit was senior Scott Burkhardt. The cheering fans during basketball season really helped to encourage the team to try a litte bit harder.” , 14 Student Life
