Memorable Times The Winter Of I987 Although the winter weather has been unseasonably warm, the worst winter storm in at least twenty years hit right in the heart of Oklahoma in l987. The large ice storm hit Seminole on Saturday, January l8, dismember- ing tree limbs and severing pow- er lines with its fierce sting of cold and ice The weight of at least three inches of ice forced many tree limbs to break off and cut off power to IQK people here in Seminole County Many people were without electricity for up to a week after the storm. even with O.G.SE. crews working around the clock to restore pow- er. Rural families were hit the hardest with many losing their water along with their electric- ity. Those who were unfortunate enough to live on dirt roads were iced ' in for two days and had to settle for meals cooked in their fireplaces The process of clear- ing away branches continued throughout the month of Janu- ar . Old And New ln Politics Nineteen hundred and eighty- seven saw at least three impor- tant government changes. Re- publican Henry Bellmon returned to politics when he was elected governor of Oklahoma andytook office in January. ln February the new seat belt law requiring front- seat passengers to buckle up went into effect Finally ll Americans experienced a great apprehension and a little hope about the new income tax laws ' Y I City store.

HQ WCTIME Throughout the years, the stu- dents of SHS have been faced with the problem of trying to find some place to eat lunch. Once again, we found a problem among the younger generation of students in Seminole. The eighth and ninth graders must either bribe an older member of the school or walk their way to lunch. They usually ended up walking un- less they had an older brother or sister. Their trek usually took them to either the Chieftain Den or to Richard's Quick Stop where they in- dulged in eating hamburgers, corn dogs, chicken, and potato wedges. The sophomores, after having two previous years under their belt. didn 't have as much trouble finding a ride. Some even finally got their licenses. This year of school usually opens up the doors to a world of eating pizza and many other delica- cies not offered to the scrubs. Some of the many different places to dine during lunch were Van 's Pig Stand, Braum's, Polo 's Mexican Res- taurant, Ed and Eddie's, and Doyle 's Quick Stop. Surprisingly enough, many students started eating at Po- Io's this year. They found it amaz- ingly inexpensive, and they could even get back to school on time for fifth hour.
