ime Flies When You’re Having Fun Although Walterboro may not be the best place in the world to look for ex- citement, students have always found some way to have a good time. Teen- agers are always on the prowl for an adventure. During the fall months football games and band contests filled the agenda of many students. While many students attended these events, others de- cided to sit them out in favor of a night on the town. Senior Vanessa Brown commented, Football games could be a little more exciting, but they are better than sit- ting home on a Friday night.” Shriner and Sad- dle Club parties were pop- ular along with other pri- vate house parties. Cruising and parking along Jefferies Boulevard was another weekend pas- time. Cruising Jefferies has been a part of the lives of teenagers since the 1950’s. Freshman Jo- die Jennings remarked en- thusiastically, “I enjoy cruising and talking to friends on Jefferies.” Starting near the Pizza Hut, students drive along the Boulevard looking for friends and fun, turning around again at the Burg- er Chick. Eating at Pizza Hut, an- other popular weekend spot, allowed students to catch up on the news with their friends as well as to get a bite to eat. The Drive-In, famous with stu- dents since the 1940’s, gave them the chance to see new movies without having to travel to Charleston. Yet another alternative to Friday and Saturday night boredom, the park in Forest Hills of- fered teenagers a chance to sit in a peaceful envi- ronment or release excess energy on the playground equipment. For those who decided on the excitement of Charleston, a wide variety of activities were avail- able. Charleston offered shopping, movie theaters, the historical beauty of the downtown area, putt- putt golf, bowling, skat- ing, and teen parties. By Mary Bass Getting a bite to eat, senior Jim Herndon and junior Jeremy Ware talk with friends in the Burger King parking lot. Many students chose Burger King as a favorite place to get a snack dur- ing a night out on the town. After spending Saturday at Citadel Mall, Kayo Morita, Wendy Garrett, and Katrin Nurn berger enjoy a meal at Taco Bell. The girls were anxious to go Christmas shopping to buy gifts for their families. Searching for just the right book at the Colleton Memorial Library, senior Arnie Farmer skims a book intently.
