Fishing, riding, sewing, reading, shopping Students Occupy Their Time We all know what PHS students do be- tween 8:30 and 3:30 every Monday through Friday. But what do they do in their free time? One of the biggest things that occupies a teenage Plattonian's time is cruising. It doesn’t even matter what day of the week it is, you can always find someone cruis- ing. On Friday and Saturday nights, Main Street is completely filled with cars. Some students go to parties to relax and socialize. Others go to Bellevue or Omaha to see one of the latest movies. Some just enjoy staying home and watch- ing a movie on a VCR. Many students like to spend some of their free time shopping. Some of the most popular places to go are South- roads, Crossroads, Westroads and the Old Market. Some students have part time jobs to keep them busy. Their work ranges from bagging groceries at local stores to keep- ing records at City Hall. Many PHS students are involved in sports. They spend hours after school practicing. Many students who are not involved in a school sport attend the games or meets. Several students spend their free time with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Others enjoy going to dances, concerts, or out to eat. Many students have hobbies that they spend their free time on. Some of these hobbies include sewing, reading, horse- back riding, drawing, fishing, and bicy- cling. Senior Dale Lingle says, “I like to ride motorcycles whenever I get the chance.”

Christmas, New Year bring about new events Homeroom Parties Held The tree, decorations, presents, par- ties, friends and good cheer are all impor- tant parts of Christmas and New Year’s; but so is school. And PHS is no excep- tion; where this year homeroom parties, the first Holiday Ball and a slave auction were held. This year with the establishment of a ten minute homeroom, the high school decided to have Christmas parties in homerooms on the last day of school be- fore Christmas vacation. And to fill the Plattsmouth Food Pantry, a contest was held to see which homeroom could col- lect the most goods. The winning group, Mr. Wiles’ advisees, received pizzas for their homeroom. Everyone brought ra- dios, food and a good time was enjoyed by all. At the first Holiday Ball, sponsored by the student council, the king was Jamie Clark and the queen was Kelly Ogle. To get in, a student needed a can of food and $1.00. The slave auction was held to raise money for the drill team. There were 16 slaves sold to work during a regular school day. A provision was that a slave couldn’t spend money on their master. The auctioneer was Mr. Kappas and the drill team raised over $100 for new uni- forms. In Mr. Tarnasky’s Spanish classes, stu- dents made pinatas, filled them with can- dy and broke them at the Christmas par- ty. The students made the pinatas with a mixture of flour and water making a glue, attached them to a balloon, and after it dried, opened one end and popped the balloon. Senior Kelly Ogle helps deliver pizzas to Mr. Wiles' homeroom advisees after they col- lected the most food items in a contest to give goods to the food pantry. 20 Christmas New Year’s
