However, some people wer- en't content just to write on the desks and bathroom walls, but instead chose to carve a little something for people to remember them by. Another place that seemed to be a favorite for writing was in the books, but this was usually discour- aged by teachers who checked books regularly. Mr. Bob Denton suggested that some students vandalize through care- lessness rather than by intentional actions. One example of this careless- ness was putting stickers all over the lockers. Shoepolishing lockers also became popular and just taking a pen or pencil and writing on lockers became a com- mon sight. From the school, vandalism spread to the parking lot and beyond. There, it took on the shape of shoe polishing cars, writ- ing on the building, painting the streets, stealing car radios, wrapping houses, egging houses, and slashing tires. Most students telt that vandalism was in violation of other's rights and showed disrespect tor other people. As one junior classman remarked, A person who abuses somebody eIse's property is just showing hisfher immaturity. Shoe polishing car windows is one ot the most popular forms of vandalism among THS students. Here David Silva and Fred Carter prepare to shoe polish a car. Vandalism 1 29

nisfavome sofidnnkas he seiisiid are tip-top at THS The T-shirt fad hit Temple High once again. Walking down the halls at THS, one could find anything from unreal people, rock concerts, and country music jambories to numerous intramural sports. T-shirts played an important part in all students' wardrobes and were a source of identity for everyone. They created student groups and provided souvenirs from vari- ous activities. Every club at THS had a T- shirt emblem designed espe- cially for that club. Most stu- dents agreed T-shirts expressed their feelings on activities, sports, athletes, hobbies, car preferences, uni- versities, and favorite music groups. Junior Kevin Coats had several T-shirts displaying his feelings on the Iran situa- tion, however, his feelings dis- played often caused him to be sitting in the library during English. The common plain T-shirt with your name on the back was the most popular. They were versatile and economi- cal. As senior David Russell said, A T-shirt is comfortable and inexpensive, and you can express the way you feel about something. M 4. ..,.,Mh, U .i. i- T'-N. . 7 ' .t 5 ' ..
