The He When the 3:20 bell rings on the last day of school, it signals the beginning of a summer full of friends, laughs, and relaxation. But the scorching sun of May got the better of students. All I wanted to do was hit the lake and catch some rays. said Kristi Kidwell. Waterskiing, swimming, and sun bathing were among the favorite things students liked to do with their time. Students could always been found at the lake on any day of the week. Summer meant no homework, sleep- ing late, and just plain doinz what vou tl 0 Keeping Cool wanted. MI didnit do too much this summer and that's what made it so funf, said Tiffani Johnson. But for some students, summer meant hard work. For the sophomores in band, school started a little bit earlier than expected. We had to be at school at 8:00 a.m. said Judy Norton. The turnaround had come. School started again.

'M . ..,. .rt V,.. no fig ., .- -3 Q 1 Goofg Concociions Not Just For Children Dress up wasn't just for children. At least for one week out of the school year, students joined in the fun. Mom's high heels and Dad's outdated clothes were all the rage, whether it was for a nerd outfit, Army Day, a Sixties costume, or some other goofy concoction. Sharla Kendrix said that she went through her grandma's closet for her costumes. Melissa Jeffries said, Spirit Week is exciting to dress up - only because you can be yourselff' Everyone was a part of the fun in their fanciest clothing or wildest outfit. Who could forget Matt Muller as Hitler or Luis Duncan as a war protester? Remember Kim Willis as the ace pilot who couldn't get off the ground? Or Karen Smades, the jester who waved the cane? Or the one who caught everyone's attention, the drill sergeant, Eneth Hancock? An original touch for Sixties Day was the senior protests before school. Stu- dents marched around the building, waved protest signs, and chanted make love, not war, all in good fun remem- bering a time when their fathers might have protested for real. Mary Ortega said, I felt our protest march around the school was fun. lt really helped get us all into the spirit. Instead of using brushes and paint, students grabbed a bottle of white shoe polish. Bobbie and Tammy Higgins watch for people as Melissa Case puts a final touch on an unsuspecting person's car. Spirit was on the rise during Blue and White Day. Mr. Roy Lamar took the winners' names before Karen Smades could crack another joke about sophomore Wesley Smith after taking first place in the competition. Student Life
