inf' vi 4, 3' Far. away Greg Allen H l I 1 1 1 1 - I Students leave Van to find entertainment hoices of what to do in Van on Friday and Saturday night are limited, but the item that tops everyone's list is Get out of town. Although Van hosts such captivating activities as visiting the game room, sitting at the Gulf, or cruis- ing the 2-block area of main street, many students prefer to go on outings to Tyler or some other near- by town. Living far from the beaten path, most students relish the entertainment of the big cities. Movies, teen clubs, bowling, miniature golf or even fast food restaurants are welcome pastimes of the larger cities which are enjoyed by those wishing to have a good time. I enjoy going out to eat at El Chico's and then afterward go to 'Time Out' so l can be with friends and have a good time, Senior Barbara Johnson said. Eating out is an occurrence in which everyone takes pleasure. Many students have a favorite place where they like to go to eat. l like to eat at Red Lobster because seafood is one of my favorite foods, Junior Thomas Mc- Clanahan said. Student Life Divider Buying new things or just glancing in a window. students are always delighted when they get 1 chance to go shopping in an area with a variety o stores. Shopping in Tyler is fun and the stores have a bigger selection from which to choose, Freshman Rosalyn Veasey said. Ever popular are the audience-thrilling and tear- jerking movies which lend a helping hand to break the monotony of an average week. Tyler has several cinemas and they have recent- ly added more. With so many theatres you can choose to see anything, Senior Jacque Roberts said. Friends are not always the companions taken on out-of-town excursions. Many times, dates are the reason why many teenagers journey to Tyler. There are numerous reasons which cause students to seek entertainment elsewhere, but friends and fun are essential elements considered important by all high school students and there is no problem too big or too small that they will not overcome to have a good time.

tuds strut their stuff he morning silence is crudely ripped apart as 4000 pounds of raw power fly into the parking lot. The fiery red door opens and . . . he steps out. He struts jauntily to the doors that seem to stand open in his very presence, and as he enters, the steel spikes on a leather bracelet glint as the last rays of sunlight catch them. As he walks down the hall, women swoon at his feet in awe of the shiny black parachute pants and mega-tough muscle shirt. Guys like to dress like movie stars and singers dress because girls like to see regular guys that look like their 'teen idols,' Senior Scott Ashworth said. Along with drastic change from preppie to ultra-modern in men's fashions, women's clothing has undergone a conver- sion of the same magnitude. Replacing last year's Mexican dresses and jelly shoes are leather pants and sweaters, large, brightly col- ored pieces of jewelry, and headbands, ties, and purses can be seen in every fluorescent shade found in a neon rainbow. People like to dress the way they see wild people on TV dress. The new styles and bright colors are just a fad, Junior Paige Giles said. As the school-day comes to a close, he gathers his belongings, dons the S40 designer sun-glasses, and steps out into the parking lot. He'll cruise around town for a while Qin case there's someone who hasn't seen what he's wearingl and then, when night falls and the town is empty, he will head back home a little Nearly. After all, he's got to have time to plan what he'll wear tomorrow! Karen Schmidt lj Love at first sights. Freshmen Matt Wright and Steve Schmidt admire Courtenay Anders.
