Question-What were the happening things to do in 1990?

Answers-

• "On the weekends we went to town, and went on the drag, and parked at the bank parking lot."

• "During the summer break, almost everyone in the whole class would jump over the fence at the [Earth Swimming] pool and swim, and when someone drove by, everyone would duck their heads under water."

• "Some of the guys in her class went and bought an old red car for about $100. They cut the top of it off, and called it the "Ram Car." The "Ram Car" was everyone's car, and everyone used it as a dune buggy."

Examples of other events for the weekends:

Everyone went on the drag. It was where everyone would see each other. They'd meet at the bank parking lot and decide what they were going to do for the night.

Every year, Kaci and all the other adventurous kids would get a group of freshmen and take them "Snipe Hunting." They would give every freshman a brown paper bag and a stick. They would take them out in the middle of a field and make them look for a "snipe. " What all the freshman didn't know was that there was no such thing as a snipe. After the freshman had been in field for over an hour or so, Kaci and the others would go get them and tell them the whole prank.

During the winter, when it actually snowed, everyone who had four wheelers or three wheelers would go to the school and ride around the campus. They would tie a rope to the back of the four wheeler, or three wheeler, and attach the rope to a huge dish. About two or three people would get on the dish, and the person driving the four wheeler /three wheeler would take off and drag them around the campus, until they all fell off.
