The strip also continued tapping into the zeitgeist, and so we would see the cooling towers and the ongoing travails of the Perkins Point Power Plant, along with the problems with President Reagan’s replacement air traffic controllers. The impact of Title 9 didn’t go unnoticed either, and girls’ sports began appearing starting with the girls’ basketball team. Ann Randall was the coach of the girls’ team—a role she would reprise down the road when as a retired teacher she would return to help a reformed Bull Bushka coach the girls’ team to the state championship.
