Snow, TV, Martin Top Ratings ctivities, fads, and news scoops hit the top of the ratings in the metroplex area during '81-'82. The completion of Arlington's fifth high school, James Martin, created quite a bit of talk around the town. The new school was built to accommodate the growing population in the southwest part of the city and was scheduled to open in the fall of 1982. During January, students re- ceived an unexpected two and one-half day holiday as all schools and most businesses in the area were closed. Harshweather condi- tions forced Lone Star Gas Com- pany to curtail its distribution to larger users in order to better heat the homes. As usual, going to a movie was a favorite in the entertainment field, but a new investment sweeping the metroplex kept people home more often. Pay television, such as On- TV, Veu, Preview, and cable recently became an addition to many homes. CAD Volleyballers anxiously watch their team- mates' performance.

All types of shoes changed ap- pearance with the addition of a pair of flashy shoelaces.
