Summer offers time for work as well as opportunity for elaxation The smell of fresh salt air . . . warm chlorinated water . . . hot dogs roasting . . . Fourth of July fireworks . . . soap operas . . . steaks grilling . . . and suntan oil all bring back memories of summer days. Several students combined their work and vacation by getting employ- ment at Arlington’s amusement parks. Six Flags worker. Sherry Thaxton, commented. Working as a costume character at Six Flags was a lot of fun. It was neat making all the kids laugh. I loved working at Six Flags especially when we had parties after work,” Cathy Ruppert said. It was fun, but there were also some embarrassing moments. Working in the parking lot in the pouring down rain without a raincoat tends to be hilarious,” Kristin Eichelburger said. Nancy Davis, who works at White Water, said, Being a lifeguard there gave me a chance to use my swimming skills to earn money and get a tan in the process.” Others chose to use summer as a time to travel. Frau Steffi Garner took ten students on a tour of German- speaking countries. It was really an interesting trip, Jeff Crain said. My favorite place was Zurich, Switzerland. We saw a lot of pro- testers who were demonstrating against the North Atlantic Organiza- tion (NATO). There were a bunch of really interesting liberals dressed in punk outfits. It was very fascinating.” While others traveled, the band at- tended camp. We spent a weekend at Camp Carter in Fort Worth. It was hot, but a lot of fun,” Sarah Mansfield said. “Going to band camp gave us the feeling of togetherness and that is im- portant when you perform in front of 5,000 people,” Andie Lively said. In preparation for the coming season, the football and drill team spent many long hours practicing in the scorching August weather.
