Whether there’s a small group of close friends or nearly the whole town, par- ties were one of the highlights of a teenagers life. Lots of food, little light, loud music and many friends were the essential factors for any successful party. They danced all night, gossiped with friends, and got to know a lot of people. Parties were a time when you loosened up and forgot about the past week at school. Anthony Brown said, “I like a party when the music is so loud you can’t hear yourself think.” Students had parties at friends’ houses, the Jaycee Hut or at the beach. Some stu- dents partied at Bailey’s or other night clubs. People of different ages and schools got together just to have fun. Au- dra Thomas remarked, “It’s like being in a different world, there’s so much more to do and it’s all so exciting.” The parties ranged from very classy formals to origi- nal ‘punk-outs’. Teenagers usually let themselves go and thought of the zaniest outfits to wear. Eric Clark said, “I like partying with my friends because we can cut up.” Wendy Bashnan expressed how many teenagers felt about parties saying, “I live for parties especially the big ones.” Nicole Varnadoe and Alicia Prin- gle dress as Boy George at a recent party.

A Teste of Times fads change Hanging out! Cruising the boulevard! Spending the night at a friend’s house! That was what students did with their free time. When it was “party time’’ where did students go? “Since the Cook Theatre closed, there’s nothing to do in Walter- boro. We usually go to Charleston, to concerts or to Hampton to skate,’’ said Rod- erick Miley and Sam Pinck- ney. Groups like the “Gap Band” and “Lionel Richie and the Commodores” had con- certs along with many others. Besides partying, students worried about clothes and mu- sic and basically “being cool.” Jeans and. t-shirts were in but they weren’t just t-shirts and jeans. It was Levis, Lees, Cal- vin Klein and Panama Jack or it was nothing at all. Students were always ex- periencing a taste of times. 30 Fads
