 1 1 v iat We Do i ust For Fun Having fun was top pri- ority with teenagers “1“ ““ and in Wal- terboro “fun” was usu- ally what you made of it. During the cooler • months, football games provided Friday night fun, although, Saddle and Shriner’s Club parties were very popular. Most students just cruised the boule- vard — Jefferies — and went to the park in Forest Hills, Pizza Hut, or maybe to the Drive- In. Norman Bouges commented, “As long as you are with your friends, having fun is as easy as laughing.” When Walterboro left something to be de- sired, students flocked to Charleston. Charles- ton provided a diversi- fied array of entertain- ment including malls, movies, putt-putt, bowling, restaurants, skating, and “Teen Parties” held at some of the teen clubs such as “Premier” and “Streamers.” When the warmer months approached, students could always be found at the beach- es, rivers, swimming pools, or just lying out in the sun. The most popular hang-out was Edisto Beach, Anne Hall had this to say about Edisto beach, “Junior-Senior week- end at Edisto beach has been the best weekend so far, but I’m looking forward to hav- ing some more great weekends at the beach.” Chugging is common in the Pizza Hut, an infamous teenage hang-out. Brad MacLean watch- es as Eddie Wilson quenches his thirst. The school dances provided students with fun and much needed breaks from books, teachers, and homework. Kenny Bowman shares this dance with Anna Williams. Paw Print 88 was begun in June 1987 at CISC journalism camp. It took one long year to com- plete. The last pages were sent in 6-20-88 Fun, Fun, Fun

Pools always provide fun in the summer months. Michael Man- neraak takes advantage of this one at teacher, Janis Blocker's house at a reception for the for- eign exchange students. Teachers are also allowed to have fun ocassionally. A1 Reit- man and H. Mark Bowers utilize their Sunday best” on ‘‘Slob Day” during Spirit Week. The Drive-in not only provides fun but it is the only way to see a current movie without driving to Charleston. April Raymond and her friends are watching RAW featuring Eddie Murphy.

 w ha t We Do i ust For Fun T m he school M provided ™ entertain- ment for students by sponsoring dances, both in and out of school, which gave stu- dents a break from the monontany of school. Principal, Bob Pence, members of the facul- ty, and leaders of the community also par- ticipated in a “Don- key1' basketball game which was promoted by Mr. Pence’s riding of his donkey through- out the school. The fac- ulty men also played the senior boys in an in- school basketball game which gave stu- dents several reasons to laugh. The school also provided inter- mural sports in the gym to entertain stu- dents. All in all, students could always find ways of “making” fun, even if it was renting a mov- ie and inviting friends over to sit home! Cristy Beckett commented- ‘Whether it is the Commons Area at school, the beach, or Burger King, it is the people not the place that make being there fun.” PH] by Monica Linder It was not uncom- mon for students to spend up to twenty dollars a week for movies from local video stores. Skateboarding has become in- creasingly popular in the last year. Jimmy Hoagland shows one of the tricks he has perfect- ed for the rest of his “skate” friends. Helping Leah Bell get “wrapped up in her work” is Mike Hiott, Robyn Balkeman, and Michael Scarborough. Ev- eryone has fun in the journalism room. 28 Student Life
