+ 8URGERS: Everybody, induci- ng Michael Monroy, Jeremy Bil- eauci and Jim Moss, finds time during the night to eat. Burger ing tends to always draw a n-Qwd because of its late hours. HANGING OUT: Many just simply hang out on the strip for entertainment. Here Kristi McCray, Bobby Green, Darrell Bates, Kimberly Hill, Jodi Carter, and Thad Small hang around on the Houston Highway. WALKING: Walking the mall is also a fa- vorite pastime at night or weekends. Because the mall closes at 9 p.m., many meet there and then go out to other events. Brenda Es- trada, Vanessa Chacon and Priscilla Navarro shop at the mall. A NIGHT OUT

A night OUT It ' s about 8:30 p.m. and you are impatiently awaiting the arrival of your company for the night. I usually leave my house about 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., said Wendy Ward. That gives me enough time to really enjoy myself. Everyone has his or her favorite places to go. Whether it ' s to the mov- ies, bowling or just out to eat with a friend, there are always places to go! Some enjoy stay- ing at home and talking on the phone or spend time with that special someone, but most pre- fer being around a crowd. Lately I just stay home and watch televi- sion with my family or TICKETS: Vanessa Chacon, Stacy Swayze, Julia Arguelles, and Georgia Villarreal buy movie tickets at the Playhouse. Movie tick- ets have increased this year from $3.50 to $4.00. boyfriend, said Lisa Bomba. Parties are usually popular places to go when you want to hang out with friends and be around good mu- sic. I like to party wher- ever the music is right, said Mary Vasquez. Prices are usually af- fordable at most local dances, so many stu- dents find that enjoya- ble. The Texas Armadil- lo Band and Drifters dances usually draw the best crowds. Going to a Drifters dance means having fun with my friends and still being able to afford eat- ing somewhere after- wards, said Lydia Pedraza. Some feel that friends and noise is okay but would rather spend time alone with a special friend. When I want to spend an entertaining night out with my girl- friend, I go to the mov- ies because it ' s fun and not noisy, said Michael Torres. So whether it ' s to the quiet movies or to a noisy party, you can al- ways find lots of fun on a night out. STRIKE: Christina Gonzales enjoys bowl- ing when she goes out. Most students go to Century Lanes because of the convenient com- puterized score keepers. til A NIGHT OUT

WORKING Sinking into a com- fortable bed after a long day at school and work is all he can think about. Suddenly he remembers the stack of school books that hasn ' t been touched. This student and many others go to a full day of school and then on to a job. Work- ing late hours and then returning home to find homework is just anoth- er part of their routine. Six classes and then a job makes for a tight schedule, but reflects both positive and neg- ative aspects. The favor- able aspect is the money earned, whereas the un- favorable is the lack of sleep. It is hard to get enough sleep and get up the next morning and face school, said Cyn- thia Hernandez, junior. CHANGE: Working at a toy m store can be interesting. Fred ; Garcia takes time to count out ■ i the change for Zara Rodriguez. FAST FOOD: Working at a fast food restaurant requires a good memory as well as speed. Melissa Rodriguez closes the box as she gets ready to call out the number of the order. Many students find jobs working in fast food res- taurants.
