Scoping out By Amy Foor It's Friday. The time: 2:45. Count- down begins ... five minutes to go and the weekend is officially here. For some, the weekend brought parties, dates and dances. For others, just being free for two whole days. What were you to do? One choice for many students was to go out dancing. On a Friday night after a game you could see literally millions (c'mon, this is Vestaburg) of people piling into the gym as our own Cool Cat Callison poured on the hits. They say music calms the savage beast, but can music make a beast out of the calm? Just ask Kevin Bush, who was the center of attention at some of the dances. Doing his breakdance rou- tine gave Kevin a chance to get noticed and relax. It livens the place up a bit, so that's why I do it, said Bush. At the other end of the gym, a group of seniors did a dance called the Alli- gator. Another group could be seen hopping around doing the Bird, a No, mine's brighter. Taking time out from the Ha- waiian dance to talk and debate on whose outfit is the brightest, Patti Marshall, Elaine Meyers, and Shimmy Fields have a draw. We've come a long way baby! Ray Austin and Trudy Beach are one of the few couples who have stayed together throughout the year. You can often find them eating lunch and walking the halls. Stop pushing! Crowding into the lobby to find new faces and cool off, area high school students take time to laugh and check out the opposite sex before going back in to dance. Put your riding clothes on. Going to the Embers is out of the question for Scott Throop and girlfriend Lisa Fleming because their transportation is Scott's 650 Yamaha rather than a limousine. 20 2) ancei abates

A phone call to his mother con- firmed the reasons for this harsh pun- ishment. His curfew is 12:30, explained Mrs. Jenison. If he asks for an exten- sion, he can stay out later; that night he didn't, so we had to abide by the rules and ground him. Another bad boy , who got caught and punished for his actions was ju- nior Jeff Humphrey. I came home at 3:30 when I was supposed to be home by midnight. My mom and dad made me stay up all night and then go out and work out in the fields the whole next day. For those of you who need a surefire way of getting into the house without getting caught after staying out past curfew, here is Mr. Cummings' fool- proof method. Getting into your house after cur- few is easy. Just make sure that when you leave, you take along your paja- mas, a flashlight, and a shotgun. When you get home, sneak around to the back of the house, put on your paja- mas, and fire two or three shots into the air. Then turn on the flashlight and start yelling at the imaginary intruder. Your parents will come running out to see what's happening, and you can tell them of your heroics as you all go into your house and back to bed. trigger on check-in time Out past bedtime. Rikki Steele, whose curfew is usually midnight, gets her curfew extended when babysitting for Shawna McClellan. S fucJenl jLife 9

wild weekend adventure popular dance taken from the movie Purple Rain. But the biggest event of Vestaburg history happened on March 21st. The Hawaiian Video brought 345 stu- dents from area schools. I really enjoyed seeing the music and meeting new people, said Chad Sanders, who helped organize the event. Okay. What else do people do? PIZZA! This word, famous throughout the nation proved a hot dish on a Friday night. Not a weekend went by when there wasn't anyone going out for piz- za. But can you take a date? Of course, what better than a table for two with the candlelight reflecting off the pep- peroni? So you're still not satisfied. You want to take somebody on a date but she's a vegetarian with a sprained ankle. You can't get pizza. You can't go dancing. Why not see a movie? Many movies were shown during the past year. People looking for ad- venture waited patiently for Rambo to come to Alma or Mt. Pleasant. If you just wanted a laugh you might have stopped in to see Police Academy II. Or maybe you went to see the romance in First Love. You did have one last choice. You could stay home all weekend. Naaaaah. Get a little closer. As cool cat Cal Callison slows down the beat and turns down the lights. Junior Frankie Allen and his girlfriend Sheila Arntz from Montabella decide to get romantic. Student -Jife 2
