Back To School 1988 Fashion And Local News
A retro snapshot from August 1988 covers school fashion trends at Kerr’s and Baskin’s, with mid‑calf skirts, white ankle socks, and shoulder pads. It notes new superintendents Dr. Jerry Major, Dr. Edwin Walker, and Thomas Foster, plus the opening of Livingston Primary School. Community events include a Big Sandy seniors lunch, a VFW birthday party, and Little Britches Day Care birthdays. Texas Railroad Commissioner Kent Hance warns on $2 gas by the early 1990s amid OPEC price cuts.
