Record Setting Summer Hits The last bell of the 1979-'80 school year rang on time, and students flowed out the doors with summer vacation on their minds. Some headed for beach- es. parks, or mountains, while others enjoyed the advantages of a summer spent close to home. With the temperature soaring over the 100 degree mark on most days this summer, the lake was a popular spot overflowing with the many students who traveled there to cool off. The students found many ways to reach their destinations; for some it was driving a car or riding a bike. Be- fore they could do either, however, they needed money. Therefore, many students found it necessary to get summer jobs. Jobs varied from work- ing on the farm to working in the sum- mer youth program at schools, parks, and various businesses. Joe McKinley, choosing a summer at home, farmed, showed cattle, and played volleyball and softball. When asked what she had done over the summer. Lisa Bradshaw said, “I sold Avon all summer long, and I went to the plant in Ohio where they make all Avon products.” Sandy Norris traveled this summer. She spent two weeks in Louisville where she attended a Bob Seger con- cert. Backy Burton worked at Shepherd Grade Center, she also attended a Bob Seger concert in Louisville. Lisa Kettner said she got lost while she was finding her seat when she attended a Cincinnati Reds game this summer, It was hectic but it end- ed up in their (the Reds) winning, so it wasn't so bad after all. Karen Wilson and Jenny Keltner spent their summer vacation at Myrtle Beach where they enjoyed swimming, lying in the sun, and going down the water slides. They also went shopping a lot and spent a great deal of time boy-watching Karen and Jenny both agree that Myrtle Beach is great boy- watching territory. The first bell of the 1980-'81 school year rang on time as students filled the halls with summer vacation still on their minds. Friends met once again to catch up on all the activities that they might have missed and to make plans for the summers to come. Todd Ballou, preferring not to exerl himself, uses his Trans-Am to travel. Because of the high price of gasoline. Todd Cundiff finds it cheaper to let his bike take him where he wants to go. 11 summer
