Some of the students participated in sports during the season. The task of serving refreshments in the conces- sion stand was assumed by many stu- dents. The majority of the other stu- dents went to the games and cheered the athletes on. Hunger pains sent crowds of stu- dents to Ted's or to Pizza Hut to buy a pizza after school or after a movie. Those who had cars, cruised down to Kenny's, the Dutch Treat or to Spanky's in Lexington. Before and after every school func- tion, young people worked diligently in the preparation as well as in the clean-up. Lengthy after-school hours were spent on such occasions as dances, the Miss P.M.H.S. Pageant and the Prom. Many students liked to spend their leisure time in work-free situations. Despite the sky-rocketing gas prices, many students spent much time on the road ''cruising.'’ Concerts at the Roa- noke Civic Center attracted a large number of our students. Many also attended movies regularly. The larg- est number attended Ten, Dawn of the Dead, The Main Event, Apoca- lypse Now, and Kramer vs. Kramer.
