Concerts: Rock, Country and Sou Groups, rock, country, and soul, were all a vital part of students' away- from-school time. The stars came to Houston, each with their own act, their own style, show or gimmick and high schoolers flocked to watch their antics. The style of the concerts were basi- cally the same, loud music, smoke filled concert halls, and people. But each group possessed a style and mode of their own. Concerts ranged from the bazaar Kiss to a subdued Bread then to the pure country sounds of Mel TiIlis. Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin, Bad Company, and ZZ Top were among the more popular rock sounds to visit Houston. In the mood for softer music were Barry Manilow, and Captain and Tennile. The sounds were simple country from Willie Nel- son, Olivia Newton-John and Ronnie Milsap. Most concerts were held in the Music Hall, Hofheinz Pavilion, or the Summit. Ticket prices generally ranged from 55.00 to 525. Concerts were spon- sored by Pace Concerts and tickets were available at Foley's Tickets Cen- ters and the box offices. Peter Frampton has gotten big in the business. Here he entertains Jack Ford after an exhausting concert. 34 Student Life g Come to Houstor Kiss, hitting the number one spot in '77 with their song Beth were known for their wild c tumes and make-up.

Breaks Used as Encouragement for Students Every day throughout the year, students viewed four small pictures displayed in the tro- phy case with a sentence written underneath Do you think you deserve a break? The pic- tures contain candids of trash and trays left unat- tended in the commons. Student breaks, brief rest and relaxation peri- ods granted students during the academic day were began under the previous administration. Since breaks seemed to be enioyed so much by the student body, they were used as encourage- ment for students to keep the commons clean. Breaks let students take a few minutes from classwork to grab a mid-morning snack and visit with friends. With the administration change came less fre- quent breaks. One maior reason breaks were infrequent was the large student body. It was impossible for 1800 students to have a place to sit and relax in the commons, so many students ended up standing. 'P' T TA 35.4, ' The lines at the snack bar were long because of the many students. Break time became a convient time to call a boyfriend or lust a friend home sick There were not quite enough chairs for all the students. Here, students sit on tables or stand to talk and eat. 36 Student Life
