Students Cram Fun Into The Weekend Plan As the clock strikes 12, a dreadful thought occurs to many PHSer's as a little voice inside says, It's time to be home! Despite efforts to sneak into the house, there is still a big voice (more commonly known as dad) just wait- ing to inform the student: “You are late! Do you realize the pain and suffering that you have caused your mother and I?! Many students refer to this as “The Guilt Trip. Students' activities include 'just a touch' of everything. Some of the more popular ways to spend week- ends are shopping, eating out, movies, parties and, of course, cruis- ing. Junior David Klanecky stated: “Most of the time I go out and cruise with my friends. If I don't, I stay home and rent a movie. For some students, sitting on the Quik Pik dumpster (while eating Dori- tos) seems to be quite entertaining. Other popular gathering places in- clude Main Street, Ruback's parking lot and Ofe's gas station. Weekend plans usually become the main topic of conversation in the hallways and classrooms begin- ning on Wednesdays. Frequently asked questions are “Where are the parties? , or “What is going on? Junior Stacy Schreiber added; “I usually go cruising and socialize. For those students who have dates, their plans usually include them. Senior Chris Winscot com- mented; “I usually go out with Leslie and we have fun together. We'll see a movie, play putt-putt or go to a party. The song “Workin' for the Week- end by Loverboy seems to cap- ture the attitudes of most PHSer's. Senior Amy Wehrbeln daydream of taking a cruise. Weekends 15

Working for Weekends Senior Janelle Pecha rests up after a long weekend. Juniors Kylee Schaffer and Deana Conn perfect the art of cruising. Another Thought Cruisin', that's what this town thrives on. Everyone at some time or another ends up taking a cruise! Cruisin' people usually stop some- where to hear the latest about Plattsmouth and the people that live here. Cruisin' is a two-way street, you can either participate in coppin' a Main, and then down Chi- cago, or you can observe all cars driving by. It's a time-killer, but can ‘be fun. There used to be a group of peo- ple who sat at Quik-Pic in the sum- mer and played hack (hackey- sack). People had the impression that these were drug-addicts but that's not true. It was just a place to meet people and buy a pop. Cruisin' will always be around. High school kids will never forget about copping a cruise. Sophomore Dawn Davis Cheerleaders take time out of their week- end to support the Blue Devils. Shown are Michelle Norris, Kelly Ogle. Jeanne Carmi- cheal and Tina Porter Seniors Laura Ranney and Stephanie Long enjoy an evening at the Homecoming 14 Weekends dance.

Main Street System Main Street is no place to be on foot. Pictured are Juniors Dan Cahalane. David Klanecky and Chad Hart. Dependability is more important than looks to Senior Tracy Andrews who drives a Mus- tang Cobra. Another Thought In a recent interview with a per- son who enjoys driving at high rates of speed — Scott Nath — he ex- plained how to peel out properly: “First of all, I look around for any Law Enforcement after I stop at a stop sign. Then I apply my left foot to the brake while I put my right foot on the accelerator and put it to the floor. I let out the brake slowly until the tires begin to spin and then I let them rip. Scott also discussed dealing with a clutch: “Push in the clutch with the left foot and the accelerator with the right foot all the way to the floor. Slowly let out the clutch until the tires begin to spin. Then push the clutch back in and shift into second gear and pop the clutch. Your tires will spin again. — Junior Jamie Clark An alternate torm of transportation is rea- died by Senior Butch Jagodzinski before the Devilmania tricycle race One ot the nicest things about cars is not having to leave them. Drive-in windows pro- vide money and food. What else is needed? 16 Cruising
