 What did you do this summer?” This question echoed in the halls of a fresh school year, finding as many interesting as dull responses. Few of us were fortunate enough to entertain ourselves on exotic vacations: pearl diving in Montana, crossing the Andes Mountains by llama, or touring the world renowned Duneducanard down jacket factory in Monaco. Most of us. however, managed to escape to at least one corner of the earth, even if it happened to be the Edina Municipal Pool. We all endured tedious anecdotes of beach-bummed friends: Did I show you my shark bite? adding eloquent feedback like Wow and Jeepers. For some students, extra-curricular ac- tivities such as sports. Hornettes and cheerleading devoured nearly the entire summer break, allowing little time for travel or pursuing individual interests. Rookie highstepper Sue Nevers summed up her summer in recalling that Hornettes occupied my entire summer filling it with hard practices, pulled muscles and good times.” Practice did not necessarily make a perfect summer as a large portion of the Edina-East High School population discovered. Summer, according to Webster Jr's dictionary, is a six letter word for party. The money earned from servicing with a smile or bussing tables six hours a day was swallowed not only by taxes and gasoline but the teenager's insatiable desire to cele- brate. Whether it was a cabin-holiday (in the North), a visit to grandmother (over the river and through the woods) or a fun-filled day at Valleyfair, all of us managed to temporarily escape Edina. Happy hours of suntanning, sailing, tennis, golf, baseball, soccer, swimming and daytime television shortened an already too short summer. Soon the trees began to flame and once again students, with pen in hand, forgot the beaches, drive-ins and parties of the summer past. The average student unfortunately did not realize what a wonderful asset school was because it was in school that one learned how to appreciate summer vacation. 10 SUMMER
