Pizza Hut, Noble Roman ' s, Farrell s, Stephanie Fattic All hangouts have four basic ingredients— good food, lotsofactivity,agroup of friends, and basically a management that isn ' t driven crazy by the rowdy antics of the hangoutees. The favorite places usually boast a menu dominated by pizza and ice cream delicacies. Pizza Hut is one of the old haunts after a ball game. Some- times after a victory, or even a defeat, it will be full of Howeites who launch into cheers and gen- erally wind down from the ex- citement of the game. Jenny Mc- Clure remarked, I go there after a game not because of the food, cause I don ' t like pizza, but be- cause of the friendly atmosphere and the warmth my friends show by throwing food across the room at me. It ' s fun to duck fly- ing food or just open my mouth and get an extra bite. Pizza Hut is recommended for the pep band, who sometimes fill it up. Just remember— there ' s no room for your instruments. Noble Roman ' s also provides a relaxed atmosphere. Yet, for some strange reason as yet un- known, Howeites tend to be more restrained and (brace yourself) even a little civilized! Oh, to be sure, they still retain some rowdi- ness but not to the extent they do at other places. The only pos- sible explanation is that the silent movies require all of their atten- tion so they don ' t miss any of the lines. This is rated as a fantastic hangout for those of you who are less adventuresome and have dif- ficulty making fools of yourself. Farrell ' s is the perfect choice if you have an obsession to sing Happy Birthday every five RIGHT: Eileen Dugan and Dianna Aikman ham it up as they are threat- ened by coke over their heads. minutes in three keys at the same time. For the daring and aggres- sive there is always the standing challenge of attacking a Pig ' s Trough without the benefit of silverware in less than ten min- utes. For the less adventuresome there are hot fudge sundaes and other equally fattening goodies. Gary McPherson stated, I can go crazy and get squirrely with- out the management hassling me. The sanity of the manage- ment is really on trial when a large gang from the music depart- ment invades it. It ' s amazing to watch as the guys compete for attention with their unique stunts and antics. The fun really gets going when it becomes difficult to identify friends through the chaos of Hying food, water, and bodies. And by the way, people also go to Farrell ' s because of the fantastic ice cream concoc- tions. Farrell ' s, Noble Roman ' s and Pizza Hut, beware! The Para- mount Music Palace is trying to steal all of your most devoted customers. This is the most re- cent establishment to achieve the exalted rank of hangout. It ' s not just a regular pizza and ice cream place. It ' s a place where you can be crazy and be yourself. Although parents may ques- tion the nutritional value of these hangouts, that ' s not why we go there. These places provide a re- lease for our craziness and a fun place to eat, have a good time and just enjoy being with friends. 26— Hangouts

Money Where it comes from Lori Collins The big question among adults is where teenagers get their money. High school students work in various types of jobs. Thev work in everything from warehouses to restaurants. A majority of Howe students have jobs and seem to enjoy them even though the pay isn ' t good and the hours are worse. Fast food franchises create nu- merous jobs for high school stu- dents where little training is needed. A small percentage of teenagers work in jobs related to their future careers such as nurse ' s aide, file clerk, and sec- retary. These teenagers hope to get a head start in their field. Howe students have stated that some employers take ad- vantage of young people because they can pay them less money for more work. For one example, 15 and 16-year-olds work past mid- night or have been left in charge without receiving manager ' s pay. Howe students work any- where from 20 to 35 hours a week, late at night, for a few measly dollars an hour, to have money to spend on the luxuries in life.
