Summertime Afternoon Antics The summer without baseball The baseball strike, which lasted for 63 days, caused a frustrating darkness for die- hard Cleveland Indians fans. So what does one do for near- ly three months without Ameri- ca's number one past-time? Bay High's students had no problem finding other activi- ties to fill their days up. As many others, Junior Dave Karl decided to work. He com- mented, I mowed a couple of lawns all summer. It was great because I made twenty dollars a week without having any set hours or obligations. In order to save money for college senior Scott Zinser spent his summer working at Gale's Nurshery. To some the summer of '81 just was not the same. It was the first summer that lacked The World Series of Rock. The yearly tradition was can- celled the year before because of extreme chaos. Another hive of summer ac- tivity, for Bay's youth was the Huntington Playhouse. Every aspect of production was manned with high school stu- dents. Sophomore Scott Kale, who played in The King and I , commented, I was im- pressed by the professional as- pects of the theater. The show ran for four weeks, and was a complete success. The Bay Pool was a popular hang-out for students. Rob Sobczak, a life guard, said, I enjoyed my job because I got to cool off and socialize along with the other students. While many students stayed on the north coast, some stu- ON HOT SUMMER DAYS the piers at Huntington Beach developed into a popular place to perch.

Michele and Chip experienced an at- mosphere quite different from Bay's. Chip said, The area surrounding the cove had many different places to ex- plore. Hiking through the woods and small islands was fun. We also went clamming, fishing, and star gazing. With all of these different activities to offer, some stu- dents chose to just lay back and relax.

Student Life Now that they'd laid it on the line to buy another school year, what were the students planning on doing with it? En- joy! When the student wasn't concen- trating on his accumulating homework, there was always something going on inside or outside which could keep him occupied. Summer, with its relaxing beaches and grueling practices, ended all too soon and students found themselves sit- ting in a classroom on August 31, try- ing to adjust. The levy results changed a few things, but most remained the same. Pep assemblies, besides being more spirited, offered the dynamic duo Jim Sellers and Curt Carlson who first emerged at the levy assembly. The two guys, costumes and all, succeeded in adding a new dimension to an old cus- tom. The traditional activities of Homecom- ing were attended with enthusiasm. Snoball, theatrical shows and concerts were other entertainment alternatives. If the student chose to stay as far as possible from school during his free time, there were parties, movies and restaurants to attend. No matter what the activity, the per- petual gap between school and sleep always seemed to get filled.
