As The days became warmer, more Time was spenT ouTside in a long and someTimes fuTile aTTempT To geT a Tan, or perhaps jusT To enjoy The ouTdoors. Many sTudenTs were aTTracTed To waTer and aTTracTions such as NiTa Lake, Bear Creek and local swimming pools were ofTen swarming wiTh Them. NighT life picked up as The cooler nighT air broughT people inTo Town for evenings of parking and cruising. Those who couldn'T bear The 400 plus degree heaT sTayed indoors To sleep, read or waTch The dayTime soap operas. AlThough The scorching sun seemed almosT unbearable To These, a shorT half hour ouTside kepT The indoor people from looking so indoor . Many sTudenTs found parT or full Time jobs To supplemenT Their incomes. The fasT food chains, grocery sTores, and deparTmenT sTores hired almosT exclusively Teenage help. Summer school was a chance To geT ahead for some and a chance To caTch up for oThers. Ms. CharloTTe Hall, Mrs. Susan Goggans, and Mrs. RuTh Palmer all braved The heaT To enrich The largesT sTudenT enrollmenT ever wiTh Their knowledge. A group sponsored by Mr. Carroll Hughes, a maTh Teacher, visiTed New York, WashingTon, and oTher siTes along The easTern coasT. The beaches of Florida and Alabama proved aTTracTive for such clubs as Les CoqueTTes, Las Queridas, and The Figs, who each Took week long Trips There. The mounTains of KenTucky, Tennessee, NorTh and SouTh Carolina, wiTh Their cool weaTher and breaThTaking scenery, were also very popular because of The incredibly high TemperaTure aT home. AmusemenT parks such as Opryland in Nashville, LiberTy Land in Memphis and Six Flags in ATlanTa provided enTerTainmenT for sTudenTs on shorTer excursions. As a resulT of The varied inTeresTs, some were here, working, going To school, and cruising The sTreeTs, and some were elsewhere, seeing The siTes, playing in The waves, and riding rollercoasTers. Featuring a 3600 loop, The Mind Bender rollercoasTer Cabovej, aT Six Flags in ATlanTa was enjoyed by several sTudenTs. A Corkscrew rollercoaster, The Wabash Cannonball CrighTQ, was frequenTed by many visiTors To Opryland in Nashville. '12 STudenT LifefSummer
