with no time to s I o w d Busy busy busy. Sam Houston students learned from the first day of school fthat sched- activities during the week going out with friends on Friday and Saturday nights and attending all kinds of sporting events no one had any time to slow down. An increase in part-time jobs as well as more participation in vocational work programs proved that the students continued their work outside of theclassroom. The drop in the Texas economy where banks and oil companies bank- rupted affected many students just minimally. Surprisingly even though there was a noticeable increase in prices students did not stop their spending on fast food and new clothes. t Adapting to the changes in theischool cal- endar for ice days and graduation ceremonies schedules changed.

Graduation cer- emonies took on a new meaning when seniors became candidates for graduation -rather than graduates because of a combination of conflicts in the state district and convention center calendars. Although seniors looked forward to turning 18 many were skeptical about their political choices in the 1988 November election. With the presidential administration s Iran-Contra scandal the television evangelists Jim and Tam- my Bakker scam and the presidential hopeful Gary Hart and Donna Rice affair at hand during the year of 1987 many seniors had doubts about the state of the government and its lead- ers. Overall the school year of 1987-88.proved to be more than just an average year of changes. O Q, . . or 5 ules and calendars only got largerl.
