In February, Patti Welder Intermediate School was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The weather made sure we would not take it for granted. On Sept. 30 the temperature dropped to 49 degrees, staying that way for two days. .Although December was warm and muggy, January was unbelievable.

The election found Republican Mac Sweeney defeating veteran Democratic legislator Bill Patman in the 14th Congressional District race. The Victoria Regional Medical Center opened and One O ' Connor Plaza, the first highrise in Victoria, was built. A major disaster occurred in February when Patti Welder Intermediate School burned to the ground. The alma mater of many Stroman students, Patti Welder was a landmark in the city. Historical groups worked diligently to retain the original design of the building. The fire was caused when lightning hit the building.
