Living for the Weekend “What are you doing this weekend?’’ was often heard throughout classrooms and halls on Fridays. Students were curious to find out where everyone was going on weekends so they could be part of the action. Many students had plans for a date, while others had plans to go out with friends. McDonald’s and its parking lot were a popular place to be on Fri¬ day and Saturday nights. Radford theaters, downtown and the Plaza, Pulaski theater, and even Blacksburg theaters were hot spots for the movie “lovers.’’ Macados, BT ' s, Pizza Hut, Tea Garden, or the Golden Corral were some of the popular places, to go out to eat in the area. “One of my favorite places to go out to eat on a date is Pizza Inn in Rad¬ ford,” said Mark Chrisley. When the pocketbooks were low on cash, you could find many couples at home in front of the television screen. Some watched movies on the VCR, while others watched their favorite TV programs. Most didn’t seem to mind this because they liked spending time alone with one another. Holidays were popular for dat¬ ing couples. Many looked forward to spending time together over Christmas break and to exchang¬ ing gifts. Going Christmas shop¬ ping at Tanglewood or Valley View, having sleigh riding parties, and spending New Year’s Eve together were some of the more popular things to do over the Christmas holiday. Valentine’s Day was also anticipated. Roses, cards, and candy were just some of the gifts that were given to both the girls and the boys. The winter months were also looked forward to by many groups of friends. Conversations about the opposite sex were not scarce. At one time or another, almost everyone talked about whom they liked or whom they wanted to go out with. When Monday came, many were curious to find out how their friend’s weekend went. “What did you do this weekend? ” “Did you go out with him?’’ “Did you kiss? “Did any¬ thing embarrassing happen?” All were some common Monday phrases. No matter how much homework or how the week went, many students lived for the week¬ ends! 1 1 | Togetherness.

Look but don’t touch! Kent Tucker and Dereck Tucker observe the exhibits dis¬ tributed to the fair to be judged. Round and round upside down! the Rock-o-Planes was another ride at the fair. At night you can see the lights on all the rides. James Harman It was held in a small back corner of an exhibit hall, sort of tucked away and out of trie mainstream. That was the Art Show at the NRV Fair. A participant and winner was senior James Harman. “I won a blue ribbon on ‘Megaduck ' and a red ribbon on ‘Decoy’. James was not a stranger to competition, especially art competition. Hot only has he exhibited and won ribbons in previous fairs, but he has also exhibited in the Fine Arts Center Menagerie Show, the American Association of Uniuersity Women Show at Valley View Mall, and the NAHS Spring Show where he was awarded ‘Best in Show’. But the fair show was a special favorite for James. “I think it’s one of the best things about the NRV Fair. It provides a good opportunity for everyone to participate. They don’t charge an entry fee and they have lots of categories with lots of prizes; they even give some cash awards.’’ When asked if he will parti¬ cipate in next year’s fair, James replied, “I certainly will because it ' s been one of my most successful art shows in the past.” NRV Fair -27
