Although school involved a major portion of students' time during the week, the weekends were open for dates and leisure time. Away from school students enjoyed things such as dancing, skating and eating. The Copper Dollar was a meeting place for the boys. The place offered an assortment of machines and games, such as pool, pinball, air hockey, and foosball. Roller skating became an obses- sion for many students. Many went skating at Northwest skateworld every night, while others went only once a week. Memorial City was a super place to go shopping. You could either take it easy and window shop or buy the stores out. If one place was singled out from all the rest of the hangouts it would be Tin Hall. Country music became very popular with the stu- dents, and the place to go dancing was Tin Hall, actually a tin building located on Huffmeister Road.

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.

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.
