Where does one go to It was Eriday night. She was getting ready to go hang out, but where does one go in Red Oak? There was no place in Red Oak to hang out.l went toa friend 's house and partied, Alisha Pritchard, sophomore, said. What altematives were there when there was no place to hang out? Many people went to Mazzio's every Sunday night. Usually after church every Sunday I went out with a bunch of kids to Mazzio's just for the fun of it, Jennie Oliver, junior, said. The Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas was another place many teenagers hung out. It included music, food and an exciting at- mosphere. It was like a trip down a musical memory lane where one could see outfits wom by John Lennon or a guitar by Bryan Adams, Kellie Cole, senior, said. They served outrageous food, like the swordfish, but it was the real fun atmosphere that brought a lot of the people there. Restaurants or fast food joints were social places where people hung out. My life was uneventful before I started going to Cheddar's. Now you would find me there every weekend eating cheese- sticks, James Scott, senior, said Whenever my friends and I went out on weekends, we usually always ended up at Taco Bell. They knew us by name, lVlichelle Kingsley, senior, said. Many people hung out at places just to meet interesting people. Some went to various places depending on what type of people they wanted to hang around with. Speeds was where the action was at. Lots of rockers went there to swing it. Sticks, on the other hand, was pretty slow and mellow and mostly hicks go to Sticks, Margaret Arruda, senior, said. It seems there was only certain places freshmen gathered. Freshmen generally hung out in the bathroom because that's the only place freshmen had rights, Paula Lindstrom, freshtnan, said The lake was a fun place teenagers gathered. One could enjoy the water and sun while scoping the area for looking girls or guys. good About every two weeks, I went to Possom Kingdom Lake to meet interesting people and catch some rays. I enjoyed riding jet skies, going boating and diving off cliffs. The nights were even better because I went to watch the submarine races, Steve Donica, senior, said. Many teenagers went for adventure and cruising up and down the DeSoto strip. Cmising the strip was a way to meet new people and get away from the house. Every weekend I found different places to cn1ise, Traci Eberle, sophomore, said. Different hair styles and funky dances drew people to new places. The Theater Gallery was one of those places in which many people enjoyed going to. Going to the Theater Gallery was a really different experi- ence, Penny Carr, junior, said. Everyone there was punk so there was a lot of people with Mohawks and stuff. It was fun to watch them slam-dance! It was just wild! Hangouts were what added adventure and fun to life. They were places where teenagers met new peole while enjoying different atmospheres. ONE-ACT PLAY students hang out in the drama room.

In and out Students have fun with latest fads As she walked into the build- ing the first day of school everyone could see her matching silver shoes, silver purse, silver bow and her silver jewelry with a silver puffed heart. She looked like she was from outerspace, but she was really in fashion. Bows and banana clips could be seen in almost every girl's hair and handmade collars adorned their sweatshirts or denim dresses. Karen Schafer, sophomore, even made and sold bows to students as part of her own home business. Guys were wearing suspenders, but not to hold up their pants. Wearing suspenders hanging off their pants was one of the fashion statements made by all of the sharpest dressers. Not one guy would have been seen wearing spandex pants, last year's fad. On a weekend night at midnight, students went to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In this show the audience threw rice and toast while yelling lines of the movie like, Janet, Rocky, Bullwinkle! SUSPENDERS Showing off his fashionable suspenders is Jacob Carr, senior. He talks to Susie Ruard, freshman, between classes. ROCKY HORROR Showing off their Rocky Horror T-shirts are Jason Dodd and Mike Sullivan, seniors. They have seen the show numerous times. 22 STUDENT LIFE Rocky Horror is a good way to relieve your tensions. You can behave there like you can't anywhere else, Jason Dodd, senior, said. We all go, have a good time and be as crude as possible. Students who attended concerts purchased T-shirts of the Monkeys, Bon Jovi or the Beastie Boys. It was 'in.' No one listened to Prince, Sheila E., Motley Crue or the Bangles anymore. These once popular artists are out because they don't have new albums. I like the Beastie Boys' follow-up songs, said junior James Holt. The most popular television stars were Bruce Willis, Michael J. Fox and Cybill Shepherd of Moonlighting, Most students watched The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Perfect Strangers and Moonlighting. Still popular was Miami Vice with Don Johnson. Max Headroom was watched along with the singing raisins. Only the outcrowd stayed in the room to watch the Frontier Ford commercials with people dressed up like elves, leprechauns and flowers. Scantron was popular with the teachers. By making multiple choice questions, teachers could feed answer sheets into the machine and have the papers graded in a matter of minutes. Scantron was unpopular with students who had to fill in little tiny circles for each question answered. Not only did students have to fill in these circles, but they had to have a number two pencil to answer the questions. Scantron is out with me. It takes me more time to fill in the tiny circles than to answer the questions, Lori Simpkins, senior, said. Most students will do the 'in' thing just to feel comfortable, even if it means looking like they're from outer space. I probably would have never picked up some of the things I wore or did if I didn't see other people doing them. I guess that is the way it goes. What is 'in' one year, will be out the next, Kara Kolthoff, junior, said. f. . .. V . ok. 1 K g? . W5 :D N fi? +1
