After a quick trip to Stop ' N ' Go, Jenni- fer Gronus and Shawna Crawford walk back to school. For many students, these rush lunch trips were every day occur- ances. Sitting outside Stop ' N ' Go, Bill McGrale awaits his turn to enter the store. Because ol the large lunchtime crowds, the store manage- ment controlled how many students were m the store at one time. Standing at the cash register, Janette Holloway waits for her turn to be helped. Most students purchased lunk food and sodas at the mini -markets. 16 Hangouts Top pa . ' unci J

Umbrellas dot the sand, while under- neath their owners stretch lazily in the warm sun. I like Newport and Huntington Beaches, announced Kris Bell, a senior because I like to visit old friends. During spring, summer, and early fall, many stu dents made the beaches their customary hang-outs. I like to go and have bonfires, revealed Kent Redmond, a senior. Besides the favorite coast- al hangouts, students also flocked to local havens. For example, The Castle, featur- ing a miniature golf course, a variety of video and ar- cade games, and a small amusement park, was popu- lar. Most people went there to be with friends and to make new ones. I like The Castle because there are a lot of people and a lot of things to do, concluded Je- sus Richards, a freshman. There were also those stu- dents whose favorite hang- out was where the in crowd was. My friends and I hop into his car, and find out where the best action is, re- vealed David Rogers, a sen- ior. Some students, for in- stance, considered the best action to be at local dance clubs. Popular clubs includ- ed Excursions, After Eight, Continental Dance Studio, and Studio K. Apart from weekend and evening entertainment, stu- dents found ways to occupy themselves during breaks in the school days. Lunch pro- vided the classic opportuni- ty for escape from school grounds. Off-campus passes, obtained with paren- tal permission, were the keys to freedom. Rubidoux provided stu- dents with many lunchtime hang-outs. The nearest of these were Stop ' N ' Go, Qwik Corner, A Touch of Italy, and Sarki ' s, all located at the corner of Opal Street and Mission Boulevard. Stu- dents without four-wheeled transport could easily make the jaunt to purchase junk food and sodas at the mini- markets, or grab some fast food at the small restaurants. Fortunate students were able to travel to other fast- food restaurants: Perrone ' s and Baker ' s on Mission and Taco Bell and Jack-in-the- Box on Limonite. Whether it was gulping down a guick lunch, tossing quarters one by one into video games, or dancing with friends, students looked forward to free mo- ments for the socializing and fun times that hang-outs af- forded. Randy Deitzle lunches outside ol Qwik Corner. Some students en- joyed hanging out on Opal Street lor the change ol scene. Hangouts 17
