Lazy Days of Summer Fun Filled Hlnnths Pass lluicklu The disc jockies called it the Summer of '97 , but we just called it good ole summer time and marveled at the thought of three glorious months without school. At the end of May, we were released for a vacation of exactly 95 days and what each one of us did with those sunny days could fill several pages, so herets a very short summer summary. Many high schoolers went out into the business world for three months as salesmen, con- struction workers, secretaries or lifeguards. The idea was to earn a buck which would en- able them to race at Kart Ville, go to all night poker parties, play two more rounds of pool, socialize with the crowd at the 51st and Harvard Pizza Hut, or just pay for munchie food at the local Git 'N Go. Kids that weren't working U.S. to Colorado or Florida, like the places were going to be gone the next day. For those who didn't go that far, there were always weekends for going to Keystone or Grand Lake. We would go to almost any length to get away from it all for even a short time. Kids who stayed home all summer spent their spare time listening to KAKC, KELI or various other radio stations. Boys listened to Bet Midler blast out the 'fBoogy Woogy Bugle Boy from Company B , as they worked on their cars. And girls sobbed to Touch Me in the Morning , as they worked on their diets and tans. Everyone moaned at the sounds of The Monster Mash , screamed as Delta Dawn played for the hun- dreth time, and rocked out at KAKC FM,s golden hits from flicks: Walking Tall, Live and Let Die and the all time great movies of the good old days like Paper Moon and Class of '44, Many of us came out of jesus Christ Super Star wishing that just once some- one had said something in- stead of singing it, or perhaps walked out of the theater laughing after seeing Okla- homa Crude, because this one and only picture about Okla- homa was filmed in California! Our three summer months came to an end all too soon. We gave up jobs, tossed halters, shorts and thongs into the bottom drawers, and gen- erally prepared for . . . school. Paul McCartney did a good job of echoing the perfect theme of the worthwhile time in his song, Live and Let Die . And that is exactly what we all did in the one and only summer of were on the move. Vacationers flocked across the ocean to Europe or just drove over the the 50's. In the evenings, Me and Betty Lou headed for the '73. 1- Displabfing hfif ability to TPOP 3 schoolers to go last summer was wheely , IS senior Kathy Kaiser. 2.

It was hard to believe that summer was over already, but when the leaves began to fall, and kids began to play football or wear heavy sweaters we knew that it was time to settle into the school year and say good- bye to summer. Good-bye summer jobs. Good-bye summer songs. Good-bye summer romances. And hello fall! As always, school cut down our dating and par- tying to two nights a week and raised homework time from 0 hours to forever. But there were those times set Hnd Hello fall! aside for getting away from the weekly grind. One group of Edison guys met almost every Sunday afternoon at Zink Park to play football and varied Edisonites could be caught rolling through piles of leaves whenever the opportunity arose. One sort of outdated but popular song stated that, To every season . . . there is a reason, and although the times were bad fwith Water- gate, the energy crisis and a shortage of gasolinej we en- joyed the season for whatev- er reason!
