Boilers just wanted to have fun: Purdue student life in the ’80s
Visting the Sweet Shop between classes, or going to one of the many long-gone night spots afterward depending on which one had the best promotion that night. Sliding down snowy Slayter Hill on a borrowed lunch tray. Stopping during a walk through the mall to hear Brother Max preach and argue with students. Greek life. The birth of the Breakfast Club. Attending the Purdue Grand Prix and the many social events that took place the week of the race. And so much more. This was life at Purdue in the totally rad 1980s.
