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

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 step toward perfection. Jeff Bailey and Erik Traynor work hard Friday from 8:00 am — 7:00 pm hanging stars, clouds and the romantic moon to make Midnight Rendezvous come alive. By A. Frost and A. Gallihugh Maxfield's was the site of the Junior Senior banquet, a switch from the tra- ditional gymnasium setting. At first a few seniors did not like the idea because they'd have to pay for their own meal unlike past years, but after a lot of talk and juniors agreeing to pay two dollars of each senior's meal, the seniors were quite cooperat- ive. I liked it because you didn't have to worry about the mess, said Michelle Carr. It was classier and you looked forward to it. The prom was still held in the high school gym, but this year it was differ- ent. Instead of the traditional rainbows and pastels, the gym was covered with dark blues and purples, which was very appropriate with the theme be- ing, Midnight Rendezvous. The gym was set up like a midnight stroll in a park, with balloon trees and park benches. For others the prom meant hun- dreds of dollars spent for only a few hours of fun and romance. Was it really worth it? All those long beautiful dresses bought for just one night and then left in the closet to collect dust, or the tux rented for a few hours of plea- sure, or all the time and work spent decorating the gym, doing hair and bathing. I spent around $340 dollars. I felt it Paying the price for a 22 jProm f3an(fuet
