THE DATING GAME In a school as small as Weston, every- Iwxlv knows each other, if only by face, (or lxxl Kven though each person is inevit¬ ably classified as an upper or “under classman, there is something that links these classes together. This unknown fac¬ tor is not as conventional as our Student Council, but almost more important. Indies and Gentlemen, the “something that few acknowledge but that which is alwavs on everybody’s mind is: THE DATING GAME. Sara and Phil have been dating off and on since eighth grade. Friday night they get into a fight about what to do. Sara calls her best friend, Lisa. They make plans to go to a big party. Phil calls up some friends. They decide to go to the basket¬ ball game and to a party afterward. Sara sees Hob at the party. Rob has been in her history class for two years. They talk for a while. Rob and Sara are leaving for another party as Phil and his friends walk in. Phil is jealous but remains calm. Sara has a great time with Rob. but feels guilty about the fight between her and Phil. Two davs later Phil and Sara are going together once again. Who can forget their first date? For some of our more sophisticated class¬ mates. the concept of going steady was es¬ tablished as early as sixth grade. For the less fortunate minority , real dating did not be¬ gin until our golden years in high school! It was love at first sight. Helen was everything Roger dreamed of. She was captain of the field hockey team and a talented dancer as well. Her entrancing smile and long golden hair brightened his day. Roger s favorite class was chemistry because Helen sat only two rows behind him. One night, Roger finally summoned up his courage. He had “forgotten the chemistry homework and resolved to call Helen on the phone. He nervously dialed her number. “Hello, Helen, it’s Roger.” “Oh, hi. How are you? At this point, Roger decided to get to the point, his real point, for calling Helen. “Ah, o.k., I guess. Listen, I was wondering if you would like to go to the Homecoming Dance with me? “Gee, I would love to, but Alex and I are going. I am sure we ll see you there. “Okay, bye. Roger dropped the phone into its cra¬ dle and hung his head in sorrow. Then Roger thought of his lab partner, Andrea, and smiled. Poor Roger. Don’t give up out there! The main rule of the dating game is to never give up. WIIAT DO YOU DO ON A DATE WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX? “Sane of your business. Satish Lathi “If you don’t know you’re in deep trouble. Dennis.

r IN SEARCH OF Saturday night .. .John ' s house ... Weston Massachusetts ... 8:00 p.m. John and his two friends, Matt and Chris, are restless. It ' s Saturday night and they still have no plans for the evening. Lisa told them that Rich was having an open house party, then Anne told him that it was closed, but Rob was having kids over. And thus, the evening begins. Finally after about ten phone calls, for more information, a quick game of hoop, and a round or two of refreshments for all, the three decide to take matters into their own hands. And so, with a full tank of gas in Dad ' s B.M.W., they begin their search for some music, excite¬ ment, and cold ones. The search for ... a PARTY! Suddenly, it ' s 10:00 and the tank is running low. They have arrived at Wes¬ ton Center after scouting the town in a futile attempt to find fun, frolic, and FEMALES. Rich kicked them out of his party and there was a total of two cars at Rob ' s. (Both of which belonged to his family). Well, maybe they ' d find something to do at the Center... then again, (as they scan the parking lot and realize that the town has long gone to sleep) ... Maybe not! The three young men finally decide to head home — just in time to check out who ' s starring in this week ' s Fantasy Island. The evening has been de¬ clared a definite bummer by all. But they ' re not discouraged. Many more Saturday nights still Tie ahead in the eternal quest for a wild Weston weekend.
