The top two movies shown this summer were Top Gun and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Everyone ran to the- aters an hour early to get in line so they could get the best seats for the showing. The word went fast of how they liked the movies, so more teenagers flocked to the the- aters. Sunday night at the Clary Club — all teenagers could be found there during the summer. Saving all your en- ergy for the dance on Sunday night was the excuse students used to get out of hard v ork at home. Dancing the night away till 12 o'clock was great said many teenagers. A teen dance with no alcohol was a great idea. That's why it be- came such a hit for teen- agers, said LeAnn Zlomek. Anyone can recognize summer by the smells you have every day. Freshly cut grass, barbecues, chlorine, and suntan lotion are all a part of everyday life for a teenager with a relaxing sum- mer. The first day you step outside you know summer is starting. The sun is out and everything goes right the whole day. Swimming, the major part of summer, is what ev- eryone looks forward to. Be- cause mostly everyone knows how to swim, most people spend their whole day at the pool or at The Gap. Summer started out with all your friends meeting at The Gap for the first whole day of summer. Friendly, furry, friends While many students remained home during the summer, Tanya Fin- zel enjoys the animals at Glacier Park in Northern Montana. Tanya and her sister Patty along with their parents spent eight weeks traveling through the U.S. Some of the places that they visited included the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, and the Canadian prov- inces of British Columbia and Alber- ta. V 18

A TT'fNC, N £ Zt £S Red eyes. Headaches. Tired bodies. These physical ail- ments belonged to those who attended the graduation practice and students who had been to the party the night before at Tammy Win- ner's home. The body and mind were fatigued but spirit and nervousness clearly were noticeable. At 9 am, 151 seniors dragged themselves into the gymnasium at Frostburg State College for graduation practice. Tension could be seen in their eyes. To relieve the anxiety, seniors sang Happy Birthday to Dave Young. Each time Dave's Waiting in line Before it was their turn, Inger Ar- stad, Cindi Atkinson, and Steve Baer casually look for friends and rela- tives in the audience. Inger was the foreign exchange student from Nor- way. name was called everyone began to sing. The seniors who would never reveal their middle names finally 'fessed up. Some chuckled at the names of Melton, Brook, and Dorsey. Others tried to hide their can- dy apple red faces. Soon the tension ended. Graduates that needed reas- suring found out that it was all over. They clutched their diplopmas in hand and hugged their friends. After- wards the audience rushed from their seats to congratu- late the proudest alumni of Beall High. Graduation 17

Thrill seeking Taking the first step over the edge is the scariest part in rappeling off the mountain, says Diane Riggleman. She and her mother voyaged to Sen- eca Rock, West Virginia, during the summer months to test their skills at rock climbing.

Once upon a time While babysitting at the Vacation Bi- ble School at First Presbyterian Church, Erika Bingman tells a story to some of the kids. Erika babysat for a week during June from nine in the morning until noon. It was hard trying to get up that early in the morning during the summer, but it also got me ready forgetting up early for cheerleading practices, she said. Summe 19
