Days unfolded to include the usual doses of football and basket- ball games, telephone calls and evenings out with “the gang.” But in 1987, “The Year of the Tight Squeeze,” the gang was bigger than it used to be.

While the school enrollment increased to a number stu- dents felt was “too many,” some things comfortingly re- mained the same. Admission was still $1.50 at sock hops. County Seat Cinema movie tickets were $4.50 — still too much, and Dairy Queen Blizzards, a VHS favorite, still cost $1.45. The gym’s north balcony, Southlake Mall and County Seat Plaza — they were places where we got together for events that made the year worth remembering. Sometimes these events fit into the framework of stu- dent life, and sometimes they didn’t. But they were all PIECES OF THE PUZZLE. ' t, V J 6 Student Life Division
