aking 'Q . . i ,,.x . F 'U 1 'S . . without being W 0 Qratwas With the mascotof a Texan, Sam Houston students updated their western image with the luxuries and technology of the late '80's. Changes in fashion, academics and transpor- tation focused on the reality of a changing school. Fashions included most everything from acid washed denims to layers and layers of shirts and socks. Even loafers walked their way out of moth balls into the lime light. Christmas gifts of oversized T-shirts, ropers, miniskirts and de- signer names such as Wrangler, Guess and Levi's were also popular. Academically, new faces and activities popped up. With new vice-principals and new classes offered, the year began with a good start. Vice-Principals Leon Bowman, Ken Felber and Sharon Phemister joined the faculty, along with 18 new teachers. Also, a new honors government program, a new Latin class and three levels of diplomas appeared at Sam. Typically, cars and trucks were in great de- mand for students getting to school and going out to lunch. But this year cars were decorated more than ever with popular sunshades, radio station bumper stickers, Texan signs and tassels that hung on or stuck to rear view mirrors or windows. Students were never left behind in or out of the classroom with the addition of new com- puters in the typing and journalism rooms. Learning in English, history, science and lan- guage classes depended much on video cassette recorders, chemical and listening labs, as well as films that never seemed to work quite right. All in all, students learned more than just how to make the grades but also how changes in the times affected their lives. Deidra Mills XJ-Lf-gf-.af - ,, X-,xfx-,X-,X V mf-, Y,-L,X.fX.,f .rn .
