Who says school ends June 1? “School’s out for summer . . Not so for the 732 students who were enrolled in summer school (45% of the student body). The morning of June 4th proved to be a rude awakening for those who origi- nally planned to spend their summer sleeping in or taking it easy. The majority of those enrolled were willing to sacrifice two morning hours for that precious piece of paper; the driver’s license. For others it was an easy (?) opportunity to earn a few required credits (P.E., Health and Safety). But for others it was a summer of pen- ance. Those who had loafed their ways through English, Math and Social Studies found themselves back in the same classes, trying to gain that credit that would allow them to graduate. Tri- gonometry was offered for the first time for those who chose to spend their morn- ings amid cosines and tagents. Although it had its disadvantages, summer school had its advantages too. When else could one find a teacher taking students out to breakfast, as was the case in some Driver Education cars. Also, how often is it that a P.E. teacher takes fifty girls bike riding around town? If all else failed to stimulate inter- est, or if one had a late night, many took the option of sleeping through the Driver Ed. movies and Health lectures, and dream of July 27th, the day summer school ended.

New talent , bright sprays Discipline was reintroduced in Summer Theatre when John Toth, former MHS drama teacher and alumni Beverly Barton Seater, returned to direct the plays, “The Fantasticks,” “The Lovers,” and “An Evening on One Acts.” After an incident where flourescent paint was sprayed on the walls, the directors refused to tolerate any more fooling around from either cast or crews. The musical “The Fantasticks,” highlighted by Bryan Crary’s sexy see- through shirt, opened the season. Opening night came fast for the cast of “The Lovers.” With little rehersal time. paint stage tension grew among cast members who were unfamiliar with their lines. Evenings at the Fourth of July carnival and parties at Barton’s helped ease some tension. “Mama, what’s sex,” the typical eight year old question, kept the audience laughing as “Evening of One Acts” con- cluded the season. During the produc- tions of the “The Case of the Crushed Pe- tuneas, “Lord Byron’s “Love Letter,” and “Adaptation,” new faces had a chance to display their talents, while graduated se- niors bid farewell to Thespian Troupe 2861 .
