Hangouts Full on Weekends South Side students had many places that they could go to meet fellow students. On weekends, especially on game nights, one place was Pizza Hut. One would find most of the people that were at the game were waiting for tables or, if they were lucky enough to get tables, busily talking about the days' events and elaborating on the game. Even if they couldn't make the game, some would show up at the hangouts. If people didn't have patience enough to wait for tables at Pizza Hut they were often found at McDonald's across the street, where they could be served fast and find a place to sit. During the week, however, the scene changed. In the morning, relatively calm groups of people could be found in the center hallway, while at the same time a very nervous group of people was seen frantically trying to fin- ish their homework in the computer room. If the weather were anything but freezing, there would be hordes of people outside the cafeteria doors, escaping the mass confusion of the over- crowded lunch room during lunch. After school, the big hang- out was Foster Park. There were often joggers, bikers, or people just hanging around there. But soon people would have to leave to do home- work and wish for the week- end, when they could go back to Pizza Hut arid wait for unlimited minutes for a table to sit at. Cindy Shields, junior, and hanging around with two gradu- Vickie Wright, sophomore, are ates at Pizza Hut.

Styles Illustrate New Fads While strolling down the halls of South Side one real- ized the preppy look is definitely in . Everyone is wearing clothes our parents all claim they wore in high school. Girls are into oxford cloth shirts with button-down col- lars, alligator shirts, and top- sider shoes. The more disco side of dressing is baggy pants, plastic coats, and dou- ble belts. All of these can be spotted at a Friday night party. For the dressy look, girls wear pleated shirts and pump shoes with sweaters topped in lace. The guys at South are also into the preppy look. They usually wear casual pants, belt, and a preppy shirt. They, too, are wearing top- siders. As far as hairstyles for girls go, the perm is out; and most girls are reverting back to the feathered look or trying all sorts of braids. The newest such braid is the French b raid, while guys are sticking with the feathered look. Long hair has also come back into style and is quickly sweeping the country. Weekends remain a time for jeans and grubbies, while at games everyone, of course, shows up in the Archer jerseys and the fast- growing fad of Cowboy hats. Charles J. Fanning, senior, takes a break from his lunch period to relax on the ledge and reflect on the school day.
