Sunsational Summed As usual the summer seemed all too short. Even so, we made the most of every hour. From hanging out at the pool, playing YMCA basketball, mowing lawns, or getting that part-time job at Hardees, we showed Frostburg who we were and what we were into. Summer also meant catching up on General Hospital and All My Children (when we weren’t catching up on the rays). The game room at the Country Club Mall also provided hours of entertainment. Space Invaders and Asteriods were among the favorite computer games. Sophomore David Moore held the record on 8-Ball Deluxe for two Summer fun for Doug Barmoy is skiing on Deep Creek Lake.

Juniors like Michelle Cobb and Maria Winners spent their June and July mornings in divers’ ed, while John Crawley traveled to Europe to visit friends and to play soccer. Carrying on the traditional beach trip, many of the seniors left after graduation. And while they played, those who were returning seniors began reading novels found on Mrs. Ruth Rephan’s list. Frostburg came alive on Friday and Saturday nights when students took advantage of every minute before curfew. They cruised up and down Main Street, hung out at the Tastee Freeze or at Lions Field, and sampled all the cheeses at Hickory Farms. Parading around the town in Halloween masks, sun glasses, and wigs, Kristin Mills, Joyce Plummer, and Anne Cordts livened up one Saturday night in July. But when practices began in mid-August, we got set fo the school days ahead. Once we got down to the books, we longed for summer '82. 8

You had to be there in LFFE By 3:08 the last slam of a locker echoed through the empty halls. Another school day was over and except for those of us who stayed for play practice or detention, we hurried home to relax. The jocks usually remained until 7:00 and arrived home to a cold dinner. While some of us put school farthest from our thoughts and tuned in to Showtime, the few non-adventurous “brainiacs concentrated on homework until midnight. When our grades fell, we busied ourselves with extra credit until we were back on our feet. On weekends we brown-nosed our fathers for the car and took off on a shopping spree. Sunday night came all too soon, and we hurried to remember how to do our homework and how to wash our jeans for the week. We did our part in the community by collecting for Easter Seals in bunny suits, and by adopting a grandparent at the nursing home. These were the fun times we laughed and labored through each day just to hear Mr. James Thompson say, “This concludes the announcements” and we were off — to do it all over again.
