A game of water ball at the beach holds the attentions of Julie Gill. Sean Daley and his bro- ther. Tom. The water temperature during the summer averaged 70 degrees. On the bank of Porter Creek.

Thespian Denise Bailey begins to put a clown face onto one of her many customers. The Thespians painted over 500 faces during the two-days. Lots of Tots “One lone figure stands with clenched fists amidst a swarm of squealing, squirming brats.” What is this? A mushy made-for-TV movie, “The Portrait of a Babysitter”? Well, who else would devote time and energy to the temporary care of young children for less than minimum wage? Summertime has long been the favorite season for babysitting. Cheryl Soltis, who made approximately $200 over the summer, said, “I enjoy it when the kids are 6 months to 5 years old. Otherwise, forget it.” Babysitting wasn’t the only way to enjoy the company of tykes. At Barefoot in the Park, the biannual arts and crafts fair held in Bay, the Thespians painted faces to make money. Vice president Lauren Kostas commented, “We had ten people working each 4-hour shift, and the kids never stopped coming.” Barb Trotter, who helped paint faces, stated, “The kids were mostly 6-8 year olds. It was fun to paint their faces because they didn’t squirm and loved to see the outcome.” The cheerleaders held a cheerleading camp for a group of kids over the summer. Stacy Schmidt commented, “It was for kids in grades 3-7. The whole event consisted of teaching the kids how to cheer.” So even if you weren’t maternally inclined, you could make a few bucks sitting for (or on) the neighborhood kids, or join a whole program for the fun of being with “lots of tots”.

J Arctamb««u Ever watchful for sud- den mishaps, lifeguard Ann Mudler gazes into the multitude of swim- mers at Bay Pool. She had to change chairs every ten min- utes in order to stay alert. On Lake Erie, Jennie Wolfe awaits her turn to water ski. She skis both on water and on snow, yet she started waterskiing only three years ago. A Break in the Heat Wave Bay Village, conveniently located on the shore of Lake Erie, provided numerous water activities over the summer. Bay High Schoolers took advantage of this opportunity by using the lake as well as area pools in a variety of ways. Some students chose to spend much of their vacation at one of the lake’s many beaches. “I spent almost half of my vacation at the beach,” stated Molly Greene, “mostly swimming and laying out in the sun with friends.” Those fortunate enough to have a boat in the family used it for water skiing, fishing or racing. Junior Tim Morrison enjoyed the challenge of sailing a small, two-man sail- boat. “I’ve been in a few races with it,” Tim said, “but mostly I like to just sail around in the bay.” Some students felt the need for a little extra cash over the summer. By lifeguarding, qualified students could remain outside and enjoy the sun (most of the time) while still earning money. Katie Jones chose to life- guard at Bay Pool over the summer. Katie explained, “Lifeguarding may seem like an easy job, but we had to clean the pool area and work in the concession stand when we weren’t watching the swimmers.” No matter what kind of water activity students got into, they found that the cool waters of a pool or lake could chase away much of the heat during a hot summer day. —Student Life
