Proud to be from . . . Students began getting in- volved in clubs and activities. Joining these organizations gave students a chance to make new friendships and enhance past ones. Realizing it was up to them, students found ways of getting around the changes forced upon them during the year — ways to unite and have fun. Getting out and having fun seemed to be the favorite pas- time. Impromtu get-together took place everywhere. The car wash, B B, or the Wal-Mart parking lot. It didn’t matter.

Where ya’ from? Commerce Where? Ever heard of East Texas State University? No. How 'bout Harvey Martin from the Dallas Cowboy's or Wade Wilson from the Minnesota Vikings? Sure, I’ve heard of them. Well, they went to ETSU. That's at Commerce. Or Commerce is at ET, whichever you prefer. So, what’s Commerce like? It's small — 8,136 people But it's wet, one of the wettest towns in the area. What do you do for fun? We go ridin’ around, hang out at the Sonic, the car wash, or at Wal-Mart parking lot. Do you like Commerce? Sometimes I just can’t stand it — so dull with nothing to do. But other times I feel secure and surrounded by friends ... It's a nice place to grow up. I guess Commerce is just home. Opening 7
