1 I Sophomore Jamie Go»s thinks she’s still in Florida but actually she's watching the action at the Post Spring Break Party. Sophomore Cindy Cox and Junior Alicia Dillon play ring around the streamer at a PYF dance. The weekend of a Plainfield teenager has basically been the same for the past few years. After a football or basketball game, teens usually headed to one of several pizza places to socialize with friends and “chow down.” The new Pan Am Plaza has several ice skating rinks which some PHS students have enjoyed. Since the Plainfield Village closed down, teens have to drive to a mall to watch a mov- ie. A very popular late night favorite seemed to be the “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Union Station, Olivers and shopping at the malls were still fun pastimes. There were more dances this year, many sponsored by the very active Plainfield Youth Forum (PYF). But, the “in-thing” to do still was cruising the Plaza to see friends and be seen. This pasttime met serious town opposi- tion when the town board passed an ordi- nance banning cruising in an attempt to help local merchants maintain their customers.

Breaks and vacations from the routine of the school year, to students and teachers alike, seemed few and far between. Students, espe- cially, looked forward to major vacations as well as the smaller ones. The major vacation of the year, looked forward to and counted down to for two months, was Spring Break. PHS teens spent their week (or more in some cases!) of vacation in Florida, Montana, or California just to name a few destinations. Other students chose to explore new cultures and traveled to Mexico, Germany, or the So- viet Union. Besides vacations, some students spent their free time catching up on sleep, shopping, spending time with family and friends, or working. All in all, vacations seemed to be a time for rest and relaxation. How many days until Spring Break ‘89? Vacations 21
