No, this is no fairytale, it's SUMMER!! After many long days of studying and running around with friends at DCHS it was finally time, time to run around elsewhere. Summer provided a much needed break from the rigourous school schedule. lt was three beautiful months of sleep- ing in, staying out late partying, and doing abso- lutely nothing, if that's what suited you. Some students travelled during the summer, California being one of the more popular vacation- ing areas. Others decided not to stay in the conti- nental U.S. The mystery of distant lands was more fitting to them. Yet some had to stay in Colorado, or even Douglas County. Summer wasn't fun and frolicking for all. Many DC students spent their time making money. The most popular places of employment being the many fast food joints in the Castle Rock area. What was the money for? Some needed the mon- ey to keep their cars full of gas while others did it just for the extra cash, if need bell For those who couldn't venture to the ends of the earth Denver, Colorado would have to do. Movies always provided an evening of fun and friendship. Some of the summer's hottest flicks included Adventures in Babysitting, La Bamba, Lost Boys, The Untouchables, Full Metal Jacket, and Roxanne. Others still decided that dancing was even better. Teen dance clubs provided that. lots of it tool If that failed, some simply threw a party while hundreds of others attended them. After three long weeks of intense leisure many students were ready to get back to school. Why? Friends. Another reason being that summer just got too dull for'them. But that didn't last long because three months was a long time to forget why school was so dull. After only a few weeks, or even days, most were ready for the beaches again. -David Baumgartner 3152?
