These frequently heard phrases could have one of two meanings. As Amy Ho- gan said, In summer we could kick back and relaxg we had no responsibilities whatsoever. We were able to go where we wanted to go whenever we wanted to go, or we didn't even have to go at all. We were lazy and it didn't matter. It could also be an ex- pression of utter boredom. Summer provided stu- dents with an extra seven hours to do nothing but sleep in and watch game shows. I was so bored that drill team practice became a. major social event, said Terri Marcum. More than one way was provided to combat bore- dom. Swimming, skiing, camping, and attending picnics helped to fill the daylight hours. Those who did not get out had the whole summer to catch up on the latest soap opera happenings. Popular soaps in the area included The Young and the Rest- less and Days of Our Lives. Summer jobs also claimed up to eight hours at a time. A sno-cone break at Cozy's Sno-Cone Stand was a good excuse for Shane Steelman to take a break from his job at Cock of the Walk. It also gave him the opportunity to talk with his friends Tammy Waters and Cynthia Pierce, who worked there. Wild River Country also hired twelve students for summer help. Working at Wild River Country was very rough, but it turned out to be the best summer of my life. I wouldn't work anywhere else, said Stacy Wilson, who was named employ- ee of the year. Typical Arkansas weather surprised no one. The constant weather changes from rain to 100' plus heat caused real problems for the outdoor people. The weather changed so much you didn't know what to put on in the morning, said Karen May. Although the summer may have been boring to some, others found plen- ty to do. As Grant Rose said, I wish it could have gone on forever! Video games were a popu- lar way to beat summer boredom. Marvin Morris waits for his turn in the arcade at Wild River Country. Summer 6 'I

Journalism too proved to be much of a task. It was not a camp one would want to attend just to get away. Yearbook camp was a lot of hard work and head- aches according to Mrs. Eudy adviser. All that goes into designing a year- book was decided while at- tending camp. We were constantly at work be- cause We always had as- signments such as draw- ing layouts and writing copy due the next day. This really prepared us for meeting deadlines when we returned to school Cathy Cook a first year member stated Church camps were held everywhere from college campuses to campgrounds found deep m the heart of no where They involved many churches Ronnie Andrews attended church camp this sum mer My church camp was really a learmng ex perience It gave me a chance to meet some re- ally neat people and learn about their differ- ent lifestyles and be- liefs commented Ron- - nie Andrews who at- tended Siloam Springs with the Crystal Valley Baptist Church.
