FEATURES Ik ll ,wr lfIl'lIE II3lUI IDF' A YSTEM! dating-new attitudes ou can feel the pulsating beat of Billy ldol's Mony Mony pounding through the concrete underneath your feet as you wait in line to enter Tucson's favorite Teen Night at the Wildcat House. As you enter, bo- dies are swaying to the music, and clouds of smoke from cigarettes hang heavily in the air. Despite the crowds, smoke, and ear-splitting music, you are actually hav- ing fun! The reason is because you are with a group - a group of your very best friends. While typical Friday and Saturday night i'dates were the norm five years ago, group outings like the one described above have begun to take their place. As Stacy Franklin, '87, explained, Going out as a group is more fun, and it also takes away the pressure that comes with dating one to one. Liz Kurtin, '86, agreed, When you're out with a group, everything is much more relaxed because no one is afraid to be themselves and let go enough to have a good time. Dates with one person can make you so self- conscious. While the majority felt that group out- ings were more comfortable than dating, there were still some people who had a really good time with that one special person. Debbie Devoy, '86, explained, When you find someone you want to spend most of your time together before you are forced apartf' A lot of the time these one-to-one ex- periences can lead to some very special memories. Barbara Casey, '86, said, My best date was in Phoenix with the son of one of my dad's friends. We went to the Pointe for dinner and then we went jacuzziing afterwards. Of course, not every date will turn out just right. Said one person fwho wished to remain anonymousl, I had a date to play racquetball with a girl once, and on the way there she was all over me in the back seat- and my mom was driving! An- other anonymous person offered, On my first date with this guy, he took me to the 'Joshua Tree,'- a gay bar. Then there were the people who had their own ideas about dating- the indi- vidualists. Said Jeff Collins, '86, I donlt date- I'm a lonerf' Who's to say which way is the best- group outings, individual dating. . . or Jeff's? ANNAMARIA HALKA AND MICHELE LANDREVILLE The best and worst ot' dating styles are represented here by the 1985 Salpointe Homecoming King and Queen, Ted White and Pam Parmoon, who enjoy an intimate dinner for two in the Salpointe Cafeteria while Maitre'd Jimmy Gyuto, '88, serves them pizza on a platter, while ij QD -L7--1 Chimmy-the-Changa and Hungry-the-Hippo look on.

had strange jobs. For example, itls hard to imagine English teacher Mr. Ted Fer- agne behind the wheel of a high-powered racing car, but during his service in the American Air Force in Europe, he toured in the professional circuits and even brought home several trophies. Home Economics teacher Mrs. Becky Ruhl was also once a member of the Air Force. A WAC, she served on active duty in San Antonio, Texas when she was nineteen. Mr. Esteban Apodaca, art instructor, had quite a different job at age seven- teen - he was a milk tester at the Univer- sity of New Mexico. I worked a horrible shift, said Mr. Apodaca, eleven p.m. until two in the morning. The stench was just awful, so l only kept the job a few weeks. Other teachers have taken jobs that seem to fit their personalities perfectly. What more logical job for theater teacher Mr. John Dadante then that of a used car salesman? lMaybe that's where he learned to act.l Mr. Apodaca fwho seems to have a natural talent for finding unusu- al occupationsl offered his services as a model for an art class. lt was a lot harder than working with the cows, be- cause if l made one sudden move, I might have lost my nose. Although there are many strange jobs, probably the strangest was that of Sara Dick, '87. She babysat for an extremely finicky miniature collie who insisted upon a daily breakfast of fried eggs and cottage cheese, followed by an hour of playtime. lt was really embarrassing, but l got a lot out of it. Now l make terrific fried eggs! HEIDI HALL AND CHRISTINE REED Mad painter Pat Mellady, '85, attacks all- American Mrs. Becky Ruhl as the frenzied group attempts to escape the pull of the mag- netic Kathleen Mellady, '87. Sara Dick, '87, attempts to bring her prized pooch to safety and de-ticker Che LeSeur, '86, fol- l0WS, 85 Mr. Ted Feragne impatiently waits for the race to begin. Meanwhile, Jr. Arm- strong, '86, and sister Lisa, '88, soak up some rays. I 1 I 7 4.1 K U-yr
