Weekends Provide Fun It’s 3:25 p.m., Friday afternoon and students across the country are getting anxious. What is it they are waiting for? The weekend, of course! There are several things Platts- mouth students like to do on week- ends. A few of them are cruising, bowling, going to the movies with friends and or a date, or even work- ing. Various students were asked what they like to do over the week- end. Freshmen Caroline Olson said, I like to go out with my friends,” while Junior Becky Toman voted for sleeping and wasting time. Sopho- more Brad Brown and Junior Mark Chudy both like to go out with their favorite girl for dinner, a movie or a cruise. Cruising was probably the favor- ite activity of students. Main Street is a line of cars going up and down and even stopping once in a while to talk to someone hanging out of an- other car. Where do students get the money The band members take time out of the weekend to play for the annual pancake feed. Trying to keep warm at the home football game are Seniors Laura Smith and Debbie Lepert. Ringing up the bill for a customer is Senior Rikki Austin. for these things? They can ask mom and dad or they can get a job. Plattsmouth businesses have been good about hiring students. Busin- esses are looking for hardworking students with a good sense of hu- man relations and students are looking for a part-time job to help out with the high school cash flow. VCR’s, midnight poker games and ‘‘Trivial Pursuit” are top enter- tainment for students who like to stay home. With the popularity of VCRs, many people just rent a cou- ple of good movies, make some popcorn and spend an enjoyable weekend evening. Besides students, teachers also look forward to the weekend. Some of the things teachers like to do are spend time with their families, cook, read, go camping and fishing or do as little as possible. It is 8 p.m. Sunday and students everywhere are rushing to get their homework done before another week of teachers, books and friends. 22

4 Prom Banquet Dropped Blue and silver streamers, stars, a fountain, potted plants, Redd Tag Entertainment — all of these things helped make a memorable night for PHS prom-goers. A long-standing traditional was lost this year when the juniors and seniors decided to eliminate the banquet from the prom night. Ac- cording to Mr. Ralph Tarnasky, ju- nior class sponsor, It made sense to cut out the banquet since the main purpose of the prom is the stu- dents’ entertainment. The new schedule made their evening more enjoyable and the dance was well attended until the very end. Most students seemed to agree. Junior Denice Eaton felt that stu- dents were able to go out to eat earlier. Shelley Dasher agreed and added that more money could be spent on decorations and the music. However, Seniors Marcia Case and Tammy Freeburg saw disad- Seniors Kevin Heim and Jayne Meisinger seem to illustrate the prom theme, Memories between you and me.

Tammy mentioned that stu- dents without dates felt comfortable going to banquet by themselves and may not have attended anything this year. Marcia thought the prom servers did not have as good a chance to perform during the dance as they usually did during the ban- quet. The prom servers did present a shortened program and did a dance routine during the evening. The group of sophomores included Heidi Birdsley, Robie Church, Dawn Hen- ry, Mike Hagar, Tami McGowan, Brian Nolte and Dena Ostrander. Other prom servers were Butch Jagodzinski, Janelle Pecha, Matt Glup, Tina Porter, Mike Keema, Cindi Smith, Craig Martin, Anne Southerland, Dennis Horn, Amy Wehrbein, Matt Sullivan, Captains Missy McCormick and Brian Bres- nahan. 24
