Glory Days By the time Friday rolled around, most students had scheduled some- thing for every hour of the upcoming weekend. Whether it was a party at a friend's house, or riding up and down Jeffries Boulevard with a carload of people, teenagers always found something to do. But for some, Wal- terboro held —————— very little to gain one’s in- terest, so at- t e n t i o n s (and auto- mobiles) were turned toward Charleston. Charleston provided the youth of Walterboro with many places to spend their time and money, and get away from Mom and Dad, all in the same night. Movies, malls, and Streamers' proved to be three of the most popular places to find friends. Charleston was chosen by some for Dating was the main wag to spend a weekend with a special person. that special date on which they could wine, dine, and spend a romantic evening on the Battery looking at the stars. But for others, creativity sparked as they imagined or invented new and interesting things to do in the big metropolis of Walterboro. Some ----—— friends en- joyed spook- ing dead people in lo- cal grave- yards or par- ticipating in an exciting game of putt-putt at the Green Acres Campgrounds.

Once a student cashed his check and had a pocketfull of money, he was on top of the world until next week, when once again the student fell vic- tim to that dreadful disease known to teenagers as “emp- typocketi- tus.” Some students had to do without the.extra money in the fear that it would cost them their good grades. Jody Filch, an unemployed junior, remarked, “I do not have a job because I think it would interfere with my school work, plus I think I can mooch off my par- ents for a couple more years.” by Randell Mixon Bagging ice is just one of the many jobs Bert Larry Penfield helps prepare for the grand Duffie and Jaymie Strickland do working at opening of Sarah's.
