Time in Between On a Friday or Saturday night, or any other night, as a matter of fact, one could always find students cruising the drag” or “hanging out at Kens. If they were not on the drag, they were probably out somewhere “munching down” on a taco at Taco Tico or a Big Mac at McDonalds. As the price of gasoline soared, students began piling into cars and forming car pools. Students learned the meaning of togetherness. Even though most students thought so, cruising the drag” was not the on- ly thing to do. For instance, there were Putt-Putt and video games. Some students enjoyed bowling. Others could have a good time just “rocking out to Foreigner, Styx, or Cheap Trick. The movies were a popular form of entertainment in Altus. Probably the most popular film of the year was E.T., The Extra Terrestrial. Some students, like sophomore Henrietta Goodlow, enjoyed watching soap operas for entertainment. Her favorite soap opera was “General Hospital.” She said, I like it because it's like real life.” Just like everything else, there were always two sides. Renee Barker did not like soap operas because she said, “They are stupid and are too dramatic.” Bobby Jeffery said, The plots are unimaginative. What students did in their spare time varied as much as personalities. Riding around, listening to music and sleeping were among the favorite things to do. A few students did not have to worry about what to do in their spare time — with school and jobs they had very lit- tle. Jeff Lancaster said, I would just enjoy being able to have spare time. Junior Rochelle Barker spent her spare time making money while sophomore Steve Lee spent his spare time just talking to girls and friends. Keeping the body In shape and shaping up in all tha right places took time and energy. It Is energy well spent for Tammi Hicks as she works out at Magic Mirror. Western Oklahoma State College hosted Senior Night for all area seniors. Rene Underwood and other seniors enjoy the music and dancing. Spare Time 15
