N Wg, ,... V-1 .l i ,ig l it y . . s H lf if l Let's go Cruising How do you cruise? First you find a car, almost any car will do, and you either ride up and down the main street or stop on the side of the road and gossip with friends. Most teenagers have one ideal reason for cruising though, and that is to meet girls and guys. Maybe just maybe, they might happen to get a date. 9 At about 9:00 on Saturday nights you start seeing' cars riding up and down the street. These people 'ride up to Hardees turn around, come back down the street, go to Rose's parking lot and turn around again. While these teenagers ride up and down the streetgthey beep their horn at friends, wave at people, or yell out the window of the car. Sometimes they will ask the people in the other car, What is your name? How old are you? or Where do you go to school? Some of the more favorite spots to park are at a site for Lowe's Food, Pitt Roads, Cherry's and sometimes Rose's parking lot. Because a fifty- dollar fine is your usual payment for parking at Rose's, only the very brave park at Rose's. The mall is also a routine hangout for teen- agers. The mall which is always full by 8:00 on weekends, has a different clique in every corner. Fayetville Street, which is in downtown Asheboro, is the main cruising road for young people. This road has no limit to the number ofi times it can be traveled on in one night. 20fStudent Life These groups talk about a variety of different subjects. The subjects vary from boyfriends and girlfriends to clothes and what is in style. Other sites to see at the mall are girls with their boy- friends and vice versa. They walk through the mall hand in hand, talking with their friends or talking together. The worst thing about cruising is coming in too late. Cars start tapering off at around 11:30. Some people like to stay a little later than that and most get into trouble with their parents. Some parents get ill if you are not in at a reason- able hour. The best thing about cruising is meeting new people. You get to know people from other schools such as Asheboro and Eastern Ran- dolph. This could be good for your dating hab- its. Cruisin' is something everyone should do once. It is a lot more fun than cuddling up with your television on a Friday or Saturday night. Making new friends and parking on the side of the road with a little fun and excitement perfect- ly defines what cruising really is. Holding hands is one of the many things young people can be found doing at any place while cruising. 5'gsfw5w9fflf'fii

The newest innovation from Switzerland is the Swatch watch. Worn alone, with a Swatch guard, or several at a time, these quartz watches are very stylish. Coca-Cola is not just for drinking. During break, Wendy Sibbett models her Coca-Cola rugby shirt, one item in a complete line of fashions from the major soft drink com- pany. IK 'llhh-f..,..,..gr ' , nf- aterial World LlV-ING IN A MATERIAL WORLD re- flected the attitude 'of Pop star Madonna toward this generation. Material objects were a neces- sary part of our environment, making it livable yet unpredictable. Shelling out the bucks for the latest fads was fine, as long as it would keep us in style. lf there was one thing Randleman students could handle, it was being casual. Colorful, over- sized sweaters were as well liked as sweatshirts sporting various logos, Clothes bearing the Coca-Cola emblem were introduced during the summer, and caught the eye of several fashion- able students. Sparing no expense, many outfit- ted their feet in a pair of Reeboks, comfortable shoes acquired from Great Britain. This year saw the return of two favorite de- signs, paisley and plaid. Paisley reappeared from the 6O's, and was more in demand then ever. Along with paisley, big and vibrant plaids were printed on everything from blouses to shoes. Accessories played an important part in every organized wardrobe. Sleek, plastic Swatches were worn alone or in quantities on the wrists of the style-conscious. Many girls, and a few daring guys, had their ears pierced two times or more and purchased large, dangling earring. To lug 22fStuder1t Life vast numbers of books around school, back- packs slung over the shoulder came in handy. With the urge to be different, types of hair- styles changed. Mousse and highlights accented hair cut in several lengths. For those who were more conservative, rattails in various lengths and colors provided some variety. Music, which offered an escape from the ten- sions and headaches of studying, came in a diver- sity of styles. Pop stars Madonna and Prince both gave us albums full of hits. Rock and roll was presented by The Boss, Bruce Spring- steen, and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. A-HA made it big with their song Take On Me, and Fernando entertained us with Mahvelous. The television screen provided another outlet for frazzled nerves. Thursday nights at 8:00, most students were laughing at The Cosby Show. Moonlighting provided sophisticated comedy while detective adventure was found on Miami Vice. Material things were not the most important, but they rounded out our lives. Whether they added to school life or let us escape from it, material objects were an ever present necessity in our world. .j M. M I 3 -at f e T' . -C MQ! Comfortable sweatshirts in different sizes, colors, and de- signs express the personalities of students well.
