I.D. please. - You feel a cold chill run down your spine. Then you hear, No one over 18 and with a sigh of relief you begin to Rock to a new beat! ho are we kid- ding? You love to party just like the big guys even if you are only a teeny-bopper! You want to dance, socialize, and dance some more. Since july 23 Spartanburg kids have been running to the WARE- HOUSE to party down! The idea just began when concerned adults like lim Mancke, a 12th Grade guid- ance counselor, wanted a place for young adults to go instead of being out around town on the weekends. They hope that keeping the kids off the streets will cut down alcohol consumption and al- cohol related accidents and arrests. As the ball got rolling, in- terested groups donated money. The Spartanburg Foundation gave 512,000 and a lot of support. Milliken contributed 56,000 Other people also helped support the idea through funds and volunteer work. After a long search the WAREHOUSE found a home in an old nightclub. Organiz- ers like Mr. Mancke had 15,000 feet to raise. After many hours of hard work the WAREHOUSE premiered to a crowd of 500 students from all over the county. Among the activities at the WAREHOUSE are 15 video games, 3 pool tables, color T.V. amphitheatre, a 513,000 light show and dance floor, and a 514,000 sound system. That's enough to keep any- one entertained! lt does entertain a lot of people. So far the WARE- HOUSE has had people from Spartanburg, Greenville, Gaffney, and North Carolina. Mr. Mancke commented that We have been so pleased how people from other schools have mixed. The WAREHOUSE opens in the daytime too for peo- ple to enjoy. It has been an outlet for young adults to party down and forget school for a while. Mr. Mancke has high hopes for the future. For now Mr. Manke says, I think we're meeting the needs of young people. So people under 18 can party just like the big guys with NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. Spartanburg County people are definitely rocking to a new beat! One of the most popular video games, Ms. Pac Man, always attracts a large crowd of spectators. They all hope that the little yellow creature will not get the best of its contend- er. tt. tts it Warehousef17
