Z' eel changes? lt started off as people watch- ing their fa vor- ite movies at the local drive-in with Mom and Dad. Then the video world swept the nation and left drive-ins obsolete.

Teens are constantly criti- cized for copy- ing one another whether it's fashions or hairstyles. But this was one fashion that a few of our students didn't ex- pect to wear. This was the year for the knee brace. There were so many students on crutches with injured knees that there was a line for the elevators.

To find a new hangout for crank- ing up the music or s h o o t i n g th e breeze. Last year it was May- field and Whataburger. Before that is was .lack-n-the-Box and Pizza Hut. The seniors got to- gether and found another solu- tion toa dead-end situation literally a dead-end off of Fish Creek road. Senior Dennis Covington claims the founding rights to the place during his junior year. I was on an er- rand and I go! lost and found myself turning down a dead- end road.

What s go- ing on here? The question is what's not go- ing on here? This was the first time that the Chey- ennes were told not to make signs for their foot- ball players and not to bake them any cakes, cookies, etc. Previously, before every game on Fri- day they would be up Thursday night by-pass- ing homework to give the guys that extra boost Some of the cheyennes still participated in the yearly ritual by making them a little something.
