Mx' J .. TRAN - RTATION 1. When the parking lot was expanded, I it became twice as crowded as before. t d T 2. Walking was not only a good exer- e n cise - it was also a good way to get to school. 3. If you couIdn't stand the parking lot, a motorcycle helped avoid it. 4. Bicycles offered an easy and conve- nient means of getting around. v-o-n-anna-seam .J FT' Does the question, How are you getting home today? sound familiar? Transporta- tion presented several choices. Many people drove their new cars, old cars, fast cars, fancy cars, trucks, or motorcycles every day, but what happened when it broke down? You could bum a ride from a friend down the street, take a bus, hitchhike, or take your mother's suggestion and ride your bicycle or walk. Whatever the alternative, we all somehow managed to make it to school just about everyday.

LUNCH A Closed Campus?? You're walking down the hall during 4th period and a bell rings. All of a sudden you feel like someone walk- ing the wrong way through the 100- yard-dash. Actually, it's just the be- ginning of one of the three lunch shifts. Those that wanted what they claimed to be much better and nu- tritious foods took off for lunch. It was a break aw-ay from school and 1. Mitch Miller inspected the peas and beans in one of the three lunch shifts we had to en- dure. 2. Marilyn Wesson enjoyed a milkshake at Whataburger. 3. Stewart Black and Jeff Thompson ate on the patio at Taco Bell. 4. Randy Partridge dipped into his Frosty at Wendy's. an opportunity to see old friends from different schools. This, howev- er, broke the closed campus rule. As for the cafeteria, the FAT team worked to get the serving areas re- modeled with new hamburger, hot dog, and french fry equipment and arrangements for getting in and out the lines faster. The choice was yours and everyone seemed to get fed. KT 'S ' QM! ': 4, Q... 1 5.,eif,gi' lv' ,,,' kgs I A ' 'A .. ss... igiffiqilts r ' ff.

You and your friends or a date jumped in the car and headed straight for the action - dances, restaurants, movies, nightclubs, submarine races, or just laughing and talking with all your buddies in the Taco Bell parking lot. Remember all those nights you sat and laughed and cried in the movie theatre watching Star Wars or Heroes? And then everyone went ltal- ian and had pizza by candlelight, carlight, and moonlight, or dressed up for Nolan's Fireside Inn or the Bavarian Village. Disco music was a popular fad. Every weekend, night spots like Trini's, the White Rabbit, Windjammer, and Tramp Steamer attracted throngs of high school students. Word travelled fast around school, so when word of a party came up, everyone was invited and every- one came. Driving around could prove interest- ing. A carload of girls would try to get a carload of guys to chase them and then lose them. Then a romantic ending for an evening with a date could be the submarine races at a bayfront park or other secluded spot. It seemed like everything was fun: there was no time to be bored at all. Everything passed in an instant. etl.. ff' 1. The Coliseum and the Ritz host- ed many concerts such as Judas Priest, Styx, Black Oak Arkansas, and Blue Oyster Cult. 2. Rusted Rail was one of the popu- lar places we ate, in addition to Ship Ahoy, and Gallaghers. 3. Ropes Park was a nice quiet place to watch the submarine races. 4. During the Bayfest celebrations, we found bands and other enter- talnment. Wx
