NIGHT LIFE: OUT ON THE TOWN . . . Remember the glorious feeling of relief that came after tests had been taken and papers had been handed in? Whether or not their work was done, students at Wellesley High found time to enjoy themselves either at home parties, at school func¬ tions, or out on the town. Mac’s, Danny’s, Nino’s, Brigham’s, Friendly’s and other local joints made millions from the hungry hordes, while the Welles¬ ley Inn and Town Line made happy hour” happier than ever! What a humiliation it was to be carded when no one else was, or to be found at the Welles¬ ley Playhouse watching The Apple Dumpling Gang” ( I’m taking my little sister!). We didn’t have to stay in and around Wellesley, however, as Boston was only a trolley-ride away. Sports fans had access to the Boston Garden, Fen¬ way Park, and Shaeffer Stadium, while Harvard Square, Quincy Market, the Prudential Center, and countless museums were open to the public. When asked about the night life for W.H.S. stu¬ dents, some replied WHAT night life?” They obviously hadn’t looked far enough.

Complaints, excuse- , and a lot of sacrifice went into our school- work last year. Was it fair, we asked, that some kids went home each day with no books at all 5 Academics was, as usual, a matter of effort. Those who sweated out a physics test or lost a few nights’ sleep for an English thesis, were rewarded with good grades. Of course, grades should never be the ultimate and only incentive for learning, but colleges weren’t naive when judging applications for acceptance, and excellence in studies still reigned supreme in importance. Hopefully, we learned for learning’s sake, and did not forget that knowledge is useless unless it is applied — either in solving a prob¬ lem, asking a question, or doing something for oneself and for others.
