- A Center of Activity By November 1977, South Bend was celebrating one of the greatest renovations and architectural breakthroughs ever — the Century Center. The Century Center was more than just a place to have parties and proms; it had a Performing Arts Center, including a theatre, a rehearsal hall, a music room, and a green room for small social gatherings or receptions. During a prom or party at the Century Center, wouldn ' t it have been nice to go on a quiet walk with that special someone? Well you could have because in addition to the Center, South Bend gained a beautiful park surrounded by flowers and waterfalls. Island Park was connected to the Center and was right along the Saint Joseph River. Before the prqm you wanted to take your date out for dinner and really impress her. But where? Also on the river was Captain Alexander ' s Moonraker. It was an exclusive restaurant that served the finest of foods. The Moonraker also offered drinks and dancing in its own dancing room — Davy ' s Locker. Maybe some of you wanted to go dancing on a weekend. Well you could have. There was also a new discotheque called Cinnabars — the only disco in South Bend. It was located downtown on River Bend Plaza. So if you really wanted to have a lot of fun, you should have tried out some of these places our town had to offer and have seen for yourself if South Bend wasn ' t developing into a newer and more exciting place to live. top right: A group of Washington students marvel at the new Island Park behind the Century Center. right: Miki irontkowski tries to decide the delicate matter of wl ther or not her newfound boyfriend loves her or ' loves her not, as Nancy Grodzicki looks on. 12 STUDENT LIFE

LIVING IT UP Daydreams Come True The summer found many Washington High students joining the ranks of vacationing America. While Mariott ' s Great America was visited by many of the students, Disney World in Orlando, Florida proved to be the number one vacation spot for most students, according to the results of a school survey. It all began in the spring with the annual migration of Seniors and some underclassmen to the sunny beaches of Florida. The first of their priorities was to bring back a dark brown tan to the then snowbound city of South Bend. Daytona Beach was the center of activity; and consequently, many students stayed on the beach and visited Disney World, a fascinating side trip. Lifetime memories of a splendid week in the sun as a senior were but some of the many treasured souvenirs which the vacationers brought back with them to South Bend. above: A two story carousel greets visitors to Mar- riott ' s Great America just north of Chicago, Illinois. right: A magic castle is the most prominent sight in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. 14 STUDENT LIFE
