taying QXSQQ? . . . despite getting O X Cr ' wd It was a year of togetherness at Sam Houston since enrollment was up, the number of temporaries grew from eight to 12 and the five foot halls did not expand an inch. It was almost unavoidable to escape the sight of rushing students pushing their way through the halls. Between classes, the only escape was through the courtyard, especially on bright, sun- ny days. The addition of one minute to the old five minute passing period, also helped. In some ways, overcrowding encouraged the motto, ln the halls of Sam Houston, there are no strangers. With the help of a number of organizations, there was something for every- one. Specialty groups helped teen parents and engineering hopefuls develop new interests, as well. Sam was not the only spot for crowds in Arlington. The increasing traffic around the new mall, The Parks, up and down Cooper and Mitchell Streets and, of course, in the Sam Houston parking lots added to the overcrowding of the year. Nevertheless, students never stopped caring. Texans of the Month continued to be awarded while the Care Team, Newcomers Club, Spirit Sisters, and Student Congress showed their con- cern in the school. These clubs cared and worked with students who needed someone to talk to, were new to the school or were just hard working students who needed an extra pat on the back. They handled such issues as drugs, alcohol, suicide and preg- nancy to help students cope with and solve their problems. Basically, overcrowding was overlooked by the majority of students who worked together to make it the best and most successful school year ever.
