Satanta undergoes changes Anew Main Street, new businesses and new play- ground equipment, new tables and new grills in the parks are just a few im- provements that occured in Satanta during the 1984-85 school year. During summer and also while school was in ses- sion many construction workers patiently waited for good weather in order to reconstruct the terrible roads around town. Main Street was built of ce- ment. It was the first ce- ment road to be con- structed within the Sa- tanta city limits, and was designed to prevent pot holes from developing. Another change that oc- cured in Satanta was the extension of businesses. A new restaurant, an interi- or decorating business and a sunning booth were the main attractions. The D D, a restaurant located at the west side of town off the highway was named after the owners, Dr. Juvenal Jabel and Dr. Virgilio Taduran. Many be- lieve that the restaurant was badly needed. In pre- vious years, no one could seem to keep such a food business up to par. How- ever, if the D D main- tains its popularity, there seems to be no threat of losing it for quite a while. Another business that was finally brought “up- town was Ultra Interi- ors. It’s a business that was started several years ago in the home of Gail Kennedy. Gail finally got the opportunity to move “Ultra Interiors” into the business district of Sa- tanta and provided many advantages for those planning to decorate or redecorate their home. A small business estab- lished shortly before the end of school was a tan- ning booth. The booth was set up by Jackie Rob- erts in a spare room at Love Buds. The booth, ■’Santana,” attracted quite a bit of attention. Many of the ladies of Sa- tanta seemed to be searching for a way to tan without the extreme heat of the sun so the tanning booth was a definite plus for the community. iiIiiiIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiIIIiiiiiiiii S treets iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 8 usi nesses llll|!llll|l|!llllllllll|lll|l|l|l|l|IH|||| New playground equipment was one of many improvements in 1984-85. The parks of Satanta seemed to have received a slight “face lift” just be- fore summer vacation be- gan. Playground equip- ment was set up at the water tower park. It was very popular with many of the kids during those long, boring days. New ta- bles were set at the Meth- odist Church park along with cooking grills. The ta- bles were a definite im- provement while the grills made it handy for people to go to the park and have a cookout. 16

The class has made its younger counterparts feel comfortable at SHS by accepting them and in- cluding them in the fun. The senior’s “true colors” showed through when they chose green and gold for their gradu- ation colors. Their loyalty to the school was expressed best when one senior stated, ‘‘We felt that green and gold were the colors that had represented us through- out our school years and the last few minutes of our life here at SHS should be spent wearing green and gold. The seniors also chose the yellow rose as the class flower. CLASS OFFICERS: Lynna Conaway. Secretary; John Lawson. Vice President; Terry Troutt, Treasurer; Paula OuBois.
