Putnam City had soooo many people. How many people did it have? It had so many people that: 1. When the crowd cheered the team on, it blew the players right off the field. 2. When we walked down the hall, we could pick up our feet and still keep on moving. 3. When we looked in our locker for our history book, we finally found it under 28 folders and 10 four-inch thick textbooks. Some of these examples are true and some are slightly exaggerated, but the fact still remains that Putnam City was more than a little crowded. We had over 2800 people in a building built for1800. so . We i .sse y. Waiting became habit.

With so many of us roaming the halls, there was always the oppor- tunity to meet people and make new friends. There was also more educa- tional opportunity. The overcrowded conditions also forced us to make the best of a bad situation and in doing so, we learned more about coping with life.

Despite the four hour, tiresome drive to Six Flags, we were still willing to get up early in the morn- ing and return late at night, just for those few hours of Texas sunshine.
