Our Community Jersey Village began transformation from a small subdivision to a growing community. A new convenience store Mr, M added to the community and to the weight problem of Jersey Village students. lt became a natural meeting place to cure after school mun- chies. New home construction along with road construction marred the landscape in Jersey Village. Almost every vacant lot in Jersey Vil- lage became a new homesight, and signs like Come on over to Charlie's house, invited people to sales offices. Along with the changes, something remained the same, such as the efficiency of the Jersey Village police department. School zones and speed limits were as is renown for the JV Police, stringently enforced. Many students became experts at explaining for not explainingl their way out of tickets. . t---- Jersey Village Baptist Church is located on one of the entrances to Jersey Village. It is one of the two churches in our little community. i 2 :T N1 , my .1 4, ,,,,..., 5 The drive-in called Mr. M was built this year beside West Belt at the entrance of Jersey Village. The kids can stop and get a snack or fill up their cars with gas. A familiar sight in Jersey Village, the man in the front seat has seized many a student, coming and going from school, for not obeying the 30 m.p.h. speed limit. On a hot day Julie Gleason washes her car with a lit- tle help from Robert Achgill. A trivial sight in our com- munity. Construction on Phillipine interrupted many students' route to and from school.

Love at J.V. is not always very serious as you can see Mark Bond and Binky Loesh clown around during lunch. Look Jan, here comes Chad. Hi Chad. Hi Karen. Oh isn't he something else. He is so cute. Love is something that happens to every boy and girl. A few teenagers fall in love only once, others may have a new 'heart throbber' three times a week. Couples are always meeting at the end of the staircase, sitting together at lunch, having a rendezvous at the lockers, walk- ing down the hall holding hands, and kiss- ing good-by at the buses. Several girls or boys walk down a hall that is out of the way iust to take a glance, and walk by that certain person. Jan! Jan! Guess what? What? Chad asked me out! Love - it happens to everyone.

The stadium was built to serve the three high schools that were now in the district which are, Jersey Village, Cy-Fair and Cypress Creek. Penny Butler plays softball ignoring the can- struction going on to the side of her. With trucks and trailers all around the annex, P.E. and all other classes still went on as usual. BELOW: Hammering, drilling and sawing was a natural thing to hear during school hours. New Architecture The student population of the Cypress Fairbanks district seemed to be grow- ing so fast that it was hard for building and construc- tion to keep up with it. Within a five year period, the district had grown so much that it became necessary to build an annex to Jersey Village. The annex was built to extend the vocational area, including the boys' fieldhouse, auto mechanics and woodshop. With an addition of a third high school, a new centralized athletic sta- dium, which could serve all three high schools, had to be built. The stadium, the best engineered in the state, is located on Wind- fern. On May twenty-first Jer- sey Village, Cypress Creek and Cy-Fair played spring football games on the new field. Visitors came to see the teams play, and to initi- ate the new stadium. The stadium was ready for use at the begin- ning ofthe 1977-1978 school year.
