Bumming?! Through the Summer 12 Student Life Terri Hulchanski is one of those people who love to spend their time getting a tan. Nancy Nagle and Deb Davis try to stay cool during one hot summer day. W hen you ask any BHS stu- dent what his favorite time of the year is, he will automatically say. “Summer vacation.” But when you ask that same person again, during the summer, he will respond, “The school year, mainly September.” It’s funny how people are like that. I guess nobody is happy all of the time. Summer vacation is anything you want it to be. I know a girl who went to Paris, France this past summer. I think of the exciting time she must have had, and I begin to think how dull I must be, because my most excit- ing time was visiting Grandma in Oswego. Wow! But the majority of Baker students have the same kind of summers as their friends do. Sometimes boring, a couple of days exciting, and the rest The track team decided to start the sum- mer with a swim party at S. Shendes. boring. An exciting summer consists of going to Fair Haven Beach for a picnic or, you guessed it, parties. But other than that, the typical Baker High stu- dent spends his time moping around, counting the days until school starts again. Ya-hoo! Summer jobs are another good part of summer. Many people have dif- ferent types of summer jobs. Work- ing in a store, to working in a kitch- en, and working with kids, to working with old folks, are a few examples. Sometimes I think if it weren’t for my summer job, I would have gone completely nuts. —

Cheerleading is their hobby. Seen here, Darren Gregory and Rich Hirsh practice for the camera. Becky Bender catches up on her reading during her weekings. And the teachers wonder why she knew so much in Current Events! Taking it to the slopes is what Kim Esposito and Kathy Peet do during their weekings. Being with friends is what Kelly Stevenson found that weekends were all about. baseball on the tube. Many people get together to watch these events on tele- vision. Finally, parties are another thing to do on the weekends. I think this past year there’s been more excuses to have parties than I ever dreamed pos- sible. Parties are a good time to get to- gether and talk and be with friends. During the week, everyone is too busy doing homework, (right?), and the weekends are the only only time to get together. I think there have been enough get togethers to get to know everyone. So if you haven’t yet, you better get going. And, oh yeah, have a great weekend. Weekends 11

Marie Carter seems to Kave a good time hanging out at the beach. Patty Wynn had a nice summer spend- ing her time with Jamie Jones. If you didn’t see Joe Mautz very much last summer, it’s because he spent his time on his boat. Nancy Neilson, Jill Sanderson, Kathy Murphy, Carol Brady, Becky Maurer, Tammy Hall during the summer. I think the same goes for many people. When I asked people what the things are that they did, that many other people didn’t do, I received interesting an- swers: went to summer school, ran 1000 miles, rode my bike across the state, learned to drive, rode a horse across the Montana Mountains, hiked, etc . . . the list goes on. Summer vacation isn’t a total loss, some people had fun. Some! I took a survey on what a BHS student did, the most com- mon activity was sunbathing. Personally, I think people who lie in the sun and bake are asking for trouble, but a lot of people really enjoy it. Another popular activity was swim- ming. And then I asked those people what job they wished they had. Lifeguarding was the ideal job. Funny, when I asked a lifeguard if he considered himself lucky, he said no. I guess no one is happy all the time. But, as a summary, I have to admit, the majority of people did enjoy their summer. And why not? There’s NO home- work! Lori lannicello takes a break in bathing to check out to see how she’s cooking. Looks pretty good Lori! Summer 13
