The hot spots were varied and numerous Places to see and be seen The TV listings confirmed it; nothing good to watch. You'd read every magazine in your house at least twice. Your stereo was broken, and your mom hadn't been gro- cery shop- ping for a week. No one was home for you to talk to, and your best friend was grounded from the phone. A teenager's worst nightmare: Stuck at home with nothing to do! Many locations became popular places to see and be seen. These included Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and the Dairy Queen. Of course these were mere eating es- tablishments to the un- trained eye, but a closer look usually revealed at least one group of students laughing and talking over pizza, tacos, or hot fudge sundaes. A major part of students' money was spent on ward- robe. What better place to buy all the latest fads then the mall? Many students spent hours browsing in the mall and walked miles in the process. Whether you were a clothesaholic'', and bookworm , or you just like the tast of Baskin Rob- bins ice cream, your inter- ests were sure to be satisfied. Others were devot- ed fans of the movie industry. For some, just seeing their favorite actor or actress' face on a movie poster was rea- son enough to see the mov- ie. With the movies came laughter, tears, and some- times even disappointment. Cruising became a nation- al pasttime a few years ago and its appeal has not been lost for many SV students. Wabash Avenue in Terre Haute provided the ideal strip for showing off cars, checking out the opposite sex, and just hanging out. There never seemed to be enough time for us. Our precious moments of free time were so few, just plan- ning where to go, what to do, and most important, what to wear was often as critical as studying for exams. Mitzi Lewis I love to go to Wa- bash because I meet lots of new and inter- esting people. Kyle Marshall The mall was a popular place for SV students to hang out.

Homecoming is the first semi-for- mal dance of the year sponsored by the cheerleaders. HANGOUTS 17

One of the oldest traditional hang- outs is Wabash Avenue. Whether it's watching or being a part of the traffic, this site attracts many teens. Playing video games at the arcade in the mall is Jeff Kabbany. Paul Maurice and Brian Scott cheer him ob Farrington shows off his 1951 lodge Wayfarer. Some students onsider their car a second home. 16 HANGOUTS

A time to socialize and dance Out on the town I like to be able to get dressed up and be with my friends at the dances, said senior Kris Hamilton. The Christmas and Sweet- heart dances were two of the three semi-formal dances stu- dents were able to at- tend. Getting able to get all dressed up and go out, was one of the bonuses of at- tending the dances. The dances also gave some students a prestigious honor. Senior Mike Jones was crowned the 1986 Christmas King and Brenda Frazier and Jim Lucas were named sweethearts for the Valen- tines Day dance. Dances gave students a time to get together and for- get about the daily routine of school. Most students en- joyed going out to eat be- fore attending the dances. The popular restaurants were Richard's Town House, Western Ribeye, and the Beef House. The semi- formal dances were not the only time to relax and have fun, but there were also the monthly dances af- ter some ball games. These dances were attended by anyone who wanted to join in the excitement. No dress codes were re- quired, just anything that enabled you to move worked great. Jamming to the music or just socializing, the dances brought a more relaxed at- mosphere to the foyer. One which was present only too seldom. — Lisa Roskovensky 1 like to be able to get dressed up and be with my friends at the dances. — Kris Hamilton Couples Tom Chambers, Marcy Dalsasso, Mike Natalie and Roxanne Mediate take time out to relax and have refreshments at the Christmas dance. Refreshments were provid- ed by members of the student council. Brian Mankin and Missi Stickland share refreshments together at the Sweetheart dance. Teresa Debord, Jon Beardsley, Joe Carver, Scott Craig, Stacey Vitan- iemi, and Scott Williams enjoy themselves by sitting a few dances out and socializing with friends. 18 DANCES
