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.

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.

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
