I F ree time. A precious word for the hours spent outside the classroom. A life where students were independent to do what they wanted. Sometimes this meant attending school-related activities such as Red Raider football games. After the game, fans could be seen anywhere from McDonald ' s to Pizza Hut. Some Friday nights were spent dancing at the Union Hall. Taking in box office hits, like The Empire Strikes Back , was another favorite pastime. However, there were also practical pastimes like laboring for the minimum wage at Hardees, Holiday Ice or the Supreme. But if things got boring in Suffolk, some ot that hard-earned money could always be spent in area shopping malls where Aigner and LaCoste were ' ' hot ' items. And of course, special dates like the Harvest Festival or Homecoming always rated high on the calendar, and then, there were extra special times, like Christmas, which we just like to spend with our families. Through the activities at home and with our friends the school community became like a close knit family. DolUrs and cents.

All in the Family Basking or baking? Kay Beale stretches out in the hot August sun at a Nags Head campground. Smiles and wave. The sun and sand attracts Stephanie White, William Jones and friends to Virginia Beach. A fter all, you only live once, seemed to be the mood of many families as they grudgingly dished out the bucks to pay for rising gas prices and other expensive vacation costs. In spite of inflation, many students and their families had exciting excursions over the summer. From the mountains, to the praries, to the oceans white with foam, ' ' cars packed with suit cases, cameras, and people could be seen traveling the highways to varying destinations. The Outer Banks, otherwise known as Nags Head, was a favorite vacation spot for many. Located near the Tidewater area, Nags Head was very alluring to those gas-conscious travelers. The weather was beautiful, but I got lucky and had sun - poisoning, stated an exasperated Betty Moore. The mountains also had their appeal. The back-to-nature aspect attracted many families escaping the heat of the city. I love having to use a blanket during the cool nights, claimed Benita Rountree, mountaineer. However, the heat of the big city was not so distastful, as students headed north to the Big Apple to spend a week or two at Times Square. It was fun sight-seeing at the Statue of Liberty, and spending a day at Coney Island, asserted Stephanie White. It was evident that the high prices hadn ' t stopped many families from having a nice vacation. But unfortunately the summer was soon over, and it was back to the old grind. During the last week of summer, students were busy preparing for the upcoming school year. The stores were filled with last-minute shoppers and bargain-hunters looking for school supplies. Moms were close behind with their wallets, check books, and credit cards, paying left and right. Many parents, along with students, weren ' t exactly looking forward to the new school year. For some unknown reason, mothers don ' t enjoy baking brownies for a club sale after working eight hours, coming home and cleaning house, cooking supper, and ironing clothes. But parents would support school activities as always. It was a part of family life. Go Jennier The Alwoods and Margin cheer the Girls Basketball team on to a victory. FAMILY
