Summer fades into memories “All right class, write a two hundred word essay on what you did during the summer.’ “Aw, do we have to?” “Just for that, it is due at the end of the period.” What | Did During My Summer Vacation | spent my summer trying to rest up from a year of failing during school. The first day | washed my car. The second day | went to look for a job. Not until a week later did | get one as a clerk in a department store. What a bore! After working from 8 to 5 everyday except Saturday and Sunday, | hardly had time to do anything. It was almost as bad as school, but | was getting paid. After a month of work, | had earned enough money to finish payments on my car. What a relief! Well, | kept earning and spending money. Spending it was more fun than anything else. On the weekends, | practiced football with some of my friends. One weekend | went sailing on Fort Phantom with my girlfriend. But then | would have to go to work again the next week. After all these weeks of work, football practice, washing my car, and as many dates as | could fit in, | believe | was looking forward to school. | wonder what illness | was suffering from, but now | know I’ve fully recovered. | think summer was better after all.

Lunch breaks day In the middle of a student’s day camea welcomed relief. A time of relaxation, eating and talking with friends, and maybe even running errands was provided by the hour allotted for lunch. With the open campus lunch system, students had the opportunity to eat at various eating establishments around town. The cafeteria and snack bar were open to students and provided many possibilities for a nourishing noon meal. A soup and salad line, a combo line in which students decided individual lunch food com- binations, and the regular lunch line were provided in the school’s cafeteria. After devouring their food, students had time to work on homework, make new acquaint- ances and get involved in various noontime activities. The lunch period divided the day into two segments making the school ex- perience more enjoyable for both faculty and students. 14—Student life
