CRUISIN ' : WHS prescription for any problem, anytime Many WHS students have a favorite passtime — (usually on the weekends, but there are those Wednesday nights). They get into their cars (or trucks), forget their worries, and drive. We have labeled this zanyness as Cruisin . This act of pure spontaneity is usually performed by many students at once who decide that cruisin would be more fun in groups than alone. Girls seem to cruise in carloads full of people, while the guys are choosier about who they associate with, so they go off with their own little clicks. Of course there are times when students have to go out, want to get out, need to get out, but can ' t. They must stay home and finish their homework (like Cary Marshall who just had to finish that oil painting before anything else!) There are also those kids who have better things to do at the moment than cruise (Like What? you might ask). For instance, Jason English would rath- er snack and Erin Rose would rather go to the mov- ies. Well, we ' ve established what cruisin ' is, but where do people go when they cruise? Some com- mon meeting places seem to be Wendy ' s where Jeanine Watson greets you with a smile, or a stu- dent ' s house (where a party might be getting under- way . . . ), If all possibilities fail, there ' s always Ian- doli ' s parking lot where students can even find some entertainment, compliments of our class jokesters. But don ' t be too rowdy because as the party starts rocking, the police start knocking . . . FAR ABOVE: B. Haines, G. Harding, S. Marks, and C. Bradford stare longingly after Kathleen ' s car. S.A.D.D. brightens up the parking lot before the Thanks-giving break by supplying cars with Konk Algonk balloons . LEFT: The school day comes to a close and students ' minds seem to be on things other than school (cruisin ' , perhaps?) 19
