Dances prove popular One thing almost everyone looked forward to during the 1986-87 UT school year was the dances. UT dances came In all different types. There were the after game dances given by several different organizations as well as the semi-formal Sadie Hawkins and the formal Prom. The dances were held after the games until Ih30. A live DJ was the source of the music; ranging from pop. soul, slow, and rock. Students with a UT ID card could be admitted for a two dollar charge. Most of the students that went usually danced, but some people went to see and talk to friends. Another one of the dances held during the year was the Sadie Hawkins dance. This was the girl’s chance to treat the guys. The girls bought the tickets; couples for $5 and singles for S3, took them out for dinner, and provided entertainment for the evening. The last big chance of the year was the Prom. This was where the couple got all dressed up for an expensive evening. UT life was much more fun with the different dances during the year. Students loved to either dress up for Prom or be casual for after game dances. STUDENT LIFE

A place for individuality Senior Laura Beedlow displays her organized locker. This locker shows some of the 86-87 school year fads. Jason Owens shares his locker wilh girlfriend Lynn Evans. In each student's school life, there is one element held sacred to all. We let this element hold all our personal items, and even in times of frustration, take the initiative to give it a good beating. No, this element is not a best friend, or even a dog - it is one’s school locker. Each student differs in taste, looks, and personalities. This is shown through locker decor. Many lockers have what may be called the lived in” look, while others are very neat and colorful; many decorated their locker with favorite sayings, personalities, and a few of those personal touches that gives a locker a personality. The ways lockers looked and were treated were one in the same. Many students looked to their lockers as a home away from home. Some even tried to make their lockers a home by climbing into it at times when a bad day came about, or even giving it a quiet beating because it would not open after at least twenty tries. VAL SCULLY All in all, every student tended to depend on these large metal boxes to get us safely through the year. STUDENT LIEE 2
