Short but chool ended and so began the long, hot summer. Spent doing a countless number of odditi- es. summer gave everyone the chance to gain a perfect bronze glow, work for a few extra dollars, or go on that forever-dreamed-of vacation. No matter how we spent our three months of freedom, what began as a long. hot summer ended much too soon and was labeled as short but sweet. Many Patriots spent some portion of their vacation in governors school, summer school, or boys or girls state. Those who showed special talents were invited to attend governors school for a period of 5 weeks. Learning in the summer was an advantage for some, a pain for others. Spending time by the pool appealed to most, especially if the tan was accompanied by a paycheck. Life- guarding did seem to have it's advantages as many students found. Some didn't have it so easy and spent their days slinging burgers or pizza, or doing a wide variety of things for a little bit of extra spending money. Working in the summer always messed up my weekends, said Denice Tucker. senior. Those who didn't spend their summer at work or at school, used the days to recover from nine months of imprisonment, to watch their favorite soap opera and catch up on lost sleep. Dallas fans awaited the first show of the season for the answer to the question, Who shot J.R.? but were disappointed when an actor's strike halted production ofthe show. We were relieved of the sometimes dismal days with special events like The Wild Hog Boogie, held at War Memorial Stadium on .Iuly12 and the Fourth ofjuly fireworks display, also held at War Memorial. The Wild Hog Boogie wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It could have been better, commented C.J. Deas, senior. While some of us spent most of our time searching for something to do, there were a lucky few who vacationed in the Bahamas, Alaska or attended summer camp. Anne Brid- ges, senior went to the Bahamas for a week, just before school started. The best thing about the trip was learning how to scuba dive and diving in the ocean, said Anne. tcont.on page 213 sweet WHEW!

I Short but sfweet tcont. from page 193 Probably the most unusual vacation was had by Vicki Tennant, senior, who went to Alaska. lt was really different up there. The scenery is beautiful and instead -of 'deer crossing' signs, they have 'moose crossing' signs. I saw a few bears when we camped out, said Vicki. Though the temperatures soard well over the hundred mark, almost every day, Patriots weren't bored. We endured the heatg we made summerhappen. BRING IN THE CLOWNS. The clowns are only part of the act as Barnum and Bally Circus makes It's annual stop In Little Rock. Several Patriots indulged in a two iweek Young Life camp at Castaway, Minnesota and found it to be an exciting experience. As summer rolled to a close, it was time for band members to dig out their instruments and football players their cleats in preparation for two-a-days. Liberty Belles and cheer- leaders crawled out of bed at six a.m. :for practice and a weary newspaper staff began work on the first issue of the Constitution Though the yearbook didn't come out until May, staff members beat the pavement selling ads to reluctant businesses. EARLY START. The end of summer hrlugs Laura Harrlson back to school to set type for the flrst edltlon of the Constltutlon. Summer 21
