Swimming was the number one way of beating the sweltering sum- mer heat. If they had wheels or could find a ride with a friend, stu- dents enjoyed going up to the Mor- enci pool. I liked going to the pool to swim and to get a tan, but check- ing out the guys was fun, too, admitted Lisa Smetanick. Sports were also very popular. Many stu- dents participated in softball and slow-pitch leagues. By the end of summer, several co-ed slow-pitch teams were formed. Competing in a local tournament, the Dukes placed fourth. Playing on the co- ed team was exciting, said Julia James. The girls showed they could keep up with the guys. Not all students spent every mo- ment outdoors, however. A favor- ite pastime was watching the soaps . I was able to catch up on everything I had missed during the school year, said Paula Jones. I can really get into the soap op- eras because they have all the stuff that makes life intriguing. Movie going was also popular. Since the local theatre was closed, students had to go to Safford, Phoenix, or Tucson to see the la- test hits. Tops on the list were Q The Extra Terrestrial, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Annie. I love E.T. -he's soooo cute, sighed Francie Rodriguez. She also admitted to being one of those who cried at El I've seen the movie three times and I flooded the the- atre every time. Regardless of the activity, most students enjoyed whatever they did during the summer months. As freshman Beatrice Denogean com- mented, I'Iaving fun was what summer was all about.
